Stronk Beats Hedgefund!

The hedge fund that bet against Gamestop, shorting the stock, only to see the #stronk campaign push the price upwards, has gone bellyup. White Square Capital out of London is selling all assets, in managed over $400 million, and returning what remains to investors.

Timcast covered the amazing story on their YouTube channel. The meme stock campaign evidently contributed to a double-digit loss for the fund as average investors waged guerilla economic warfare on the hedge funds. The naked shorting of stocks, using leveraging, essentially rigs the game and amounts to pure speculation. But the “ape army” of millions of average Americans isn’t having any of it and are directly targeting these practices to counteract them.

Even more highly leveraged funds are also at risk as average investors connect and collaborate, share notes, and compare tactics. This is making the average investor smarter than the insiders, who tend more toward speculative games than straightforward investing on the basis of actual profitability.

The potential for rapid and wild swings is great as “the apes” and “meme stocks” battle the insider speculative games of the mega investor. But accountability for these unethical games that destory companies and ruin lives is coming and has at least come for this fund.

Philly Democrats Keep Disarming The Black Community

While Pennsylvanians went en masse to obtain gun permits, Democrats in Philadelphia, PA continued their Party’s historical record of disarming the black community.

According to the report: “While 62,737 more gun-carry licenses were issued in the state during 2020 than during 2019, an increase of 25 percent, Philadelphia saw a 19 percent decrease.”

Roadblocks and using the excuse of the pandemic to prevent applications from being processed were the means by which the average African-American in Philadelphia went mostly without their sacred right to self-preservation.

The constant virtue-signalling about the plight of “people of color” by the increasingly authoritarian Democrats is belied by this constant effort to disarm black people within cities ruled as one-party authoritarian regimes.

Without any real alternatives, cities like Philadelphia have become more and more totalitarian in their approach to the average citizen and the only way to keep the population from rebelling has been through election legerdemain (manipulation and deception to game the system), through suppression of basic human rights like self-preservation, and through scapegoats such as the “white supremacy” bogeyman.

Philadelphia, long seen as the most corrupt city in Pennsylvania and home to election trickery, “legal” or not, aimed at keeping Democrats in power, continues the centuries-old Democratic tradition of treating the black man as a commodity to be controlled and suppressed.

DNC Press Cover Up True Intent Of “Election Reform”

The DNC Press, so named because almost all major press are PR wings of the Democratic National Committee, are covering up the true nature of “election reform” promoted by the Democrats. A frank admission recently made on CNN is sure to be swept under cover by the activists masquerading as journalists whose “NPC like” parroting of the Party Line is an affront to any pretense of being a “free press.”

Crafting bills to gain electoral advantage, pure legerdemain (manipulation and deception to game the system), is not terribly uncommon for either major party, but it is also not considered ethical by most people. This frank admission that the bill in question, which would federalize election and which many fear would merely make it easier to game elections in ways that don’t reflect true public sentiment, has been largely ignored.

The RNC, of course, did share this, but the press have, predictably considering their partisan bias in favor of Democrats, brushed it under cover.

The Republicans shared this, but the press are ignoring it.

The anount of “legal” versus “illegal” legerdemain in the 2020 election will perhaps never be clear, but the “mail in voting” and massive last-minute rules changes, often implemented in an extra-constitutional manner under cover of the pandemic, 100% favored the “get out the vote” efforts of the Democrats alone. Essentially, this bill makes it more difficult to address any real or legitimate concerns, makes the election process opaque, and, as noted, only favors the Democratic Party.

This admission is likely accidental, gives credibility to its core claim, that this bill is totally about Democrats creating a monopoly of power, sometimes called a dictatorship or one-party authoritarian regime. Desiring absolute power through legerdemain and not through an honest and persuasive presentation of your ideas and agenda is far more of a threat to the much-vaunted standards of “democracy” than anything Democrats accuse their opponents of.

We should be careful, however, not to run to the opposite side of this argument to assume the Republicans are pure or wouldn’t do the same thing given the opportunity. The tendency of Parties to seek power as its own end and its own good, without regard to the welfare and benefit of most Americans, is all-too common.

The duopoly of Democrats and Republicans swapping power without real substantitive changes has led many to despair as to the efficacy of political participation. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

What may be different is that now the Democrats want to end the duopoly once and for all, leaving the path clear for some very real changes that may neither be wanted by most people nor to their common good.

It is no wonder the DNC Press are in a hurry to rush to the cameras to mimic every line from every Democratic Party press release as if it is objective reporting. Their activism and moral/ethical failures in defiance of any standards of a true free press remains a valuable asset to the power-mad Democrats.

China Vaccine Fails

Recent reports show that China’s vaccines, rushed to foreign countries in an attempt to offset blowback from concerns over the Chinese origins of Covid-19, are a stark failure.

Seychelles, Chile, Bahrain and Mongolia, which all received Chinese vaccines, are now experiencing outbreaks of the virus almost as if the vaccinations hadn’t occurred at all.

While most reporting is focused on the ineffectiveness of the Chinese vaccines, not covered are any concerns of other problems with these vaccines. If the vaccine is useless in regards to Covid-19 is it also harmful to the people who took it? Over 50% of the people in these four countries, for instance, have received Chinese vaccines. Is this a potential health crisis beyond the issue of ineffectiveness?

Aside from this there remains the issue of trust in these governments and of most governments. When a state decrees or promotes something like a vaccine and it turns out to be ineffective, the consequences to people are not just a loss of protection from a virus, but a loss of faith on government.

As vaccines are promoted with mass peer pressure or even forced on people by the state, concerns emerge as to the veracity of the state’s wisdom. While most people tend to trust the vaccines, as they did in these four countries, hesitancy remains a powerful drag on full compliance with state promotions of the jab.

Getting something like this wrong, especially when the potential negative impact cannot be known for months or even years, is simply out of the question. Aside from the immediate health impacts caused by getting it wrong, trust in the state and other authorities can be a casualty.

So far, massive failure of vaccines has not been shown in other countries. Only the Chinese vaccines to a China-origin virus have shown massive failure. The “vaccine diplomacy” of the Chinese regime has, to put it bluntly, failed BIGLY.

We Are BLASTING Race Identitarianism As A Threat To Freedom

It’s time to bring in the big guns and blast away remorselessly at the edifice of a race identitarianism which could become, if continually provoked by the blatant race hate coming from the woke savage camp, THE major threat to freedom for all Americans, especially those who are either not white or who reject white identitarianism, like us.

We are Freedomists, we do not embrace racial identitarianism, we embrace ideas and ideals as our core identity and we reject the notion race is anything but a negative social construct that is a threat to human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing. Race is a myth and those who use it as a wedge in society or to shame or otherwise demean or limit others are of the same spirit as Adolf Hitler.

The assualt on “white identity”, something most all white people are not at all conscious of but are now being accused of gaining unfair advantage through, can only promote a white identitarianism reaction. In short, vilification of all white people as inherently racist and morally inferior to the alleged victim groups (POC, LGBTQ, etc) on the basis of this fictional “white identity” and “white supremacy conspiracy” pushes white people into a defensive circle.

Real talk here: identitarianism among “non white” groups in America today cannot pose a serious threat to white people who are 70% of the population and who control probably 90% of the wealth. This doesn’t make it morally good, we oppose all racial identitarianism, but it’s not the same level of threat.

The identitarianism of “non-white” “races” fomented by separatists and racialists, mostly the left, is morally problematic. But given the actual disadvantage these group have faced, it is understandable. Additionally, the fact the white “race” is some 70% of the population and that most members of other “races” are not very identitarian, means this has had little potential to harm anyone. But if “white identitarianism” becomes popular among most “white” people, it can seriously threaten the freedom of non-white people. As Freedomists we demand equity in freedom for all human beings, so clearly this is something we are alarmed by.

Is this nonsense about white identity being a mark of shame meant to bully white people, who are less likely to vote leftwing, into submitting to their policies? Is it actually meant to foment a white identity backlash to use the unrest as justification for more draconian violations of people’s basic civil rights?

It does not follow automatically that if white identitarianism becomes “awakened” in some way that the potential unrest it leads to could be contained. (The motto of the Nazi storm troopers was “Germany Awake!” and this is the kind of malevolent “awakening” the woke savages are seeming to want to provoke.)

It is possible that playing with such dangerous fire, awakening actual racial jingoism (white identitarianism as opposed to POC identitarianism and white supremacy as a counter to white guilt and white shaming) through unreasonable demonization of a majority of the population on the basis of an identity that they are not conscious of, would create something that cannot be contained.

So if we say “yes, white identity is dangerous”, we mean that if the majority of Americans, who are “white”, by the definition of the left, are vilified for being white, if their “identity” is treated as a badge of shame, whether they are conscious of that identity or not, then the result will be a sudden “awakening” to that “identity” that is itself dangerous.

The left are creating a nasty, self-fulfilling prophecy that white people are evil oppressors and all the world’s evils come from a white supremacy conspiracy to dominate the world for the glory and benefit of the white race. This is their narrative and, like the Nazis of Jewish lineage who hated the Jewish “race”, the white leftists find no irony in their anti-white racist bigotry.

Indeed, if you read the preachments of the left on the white race and substitute the word “Jew” for “white”, then you begin to see how truly vile and hateful this doctrine is.

Pushing “white people” into a corner where they have to hate themselves, give up every aspect of their culture and way of life, and submit to your fringe social experiments isn’t going to end well. The ACTUAL racists and white supremacists, infiltrated by the FBI who are positively fomenting this, must be loving this, and that is a very bad thing.

As Freedomists, we identify with Freedomist ideas and ideals, we are not racial or race conscious. We reject racial separatism, even the concept or there being any but the human race, and certainly any sense of racial supremacy. The idea of most white people becoming race conscious and feeling like it’s “us or them”, because they are so viciously attacked and shamed merely for being white, is q dangerous idea.

If most white people begin to embrace their race and the “advancement” of their race in an “us/them” paradigm, like the “oppressed” races are being encouraged to do, well, look for the rise of real white supremacy to a scale not even the FBI infiltrators and provocateurs can contain.

In such an event we Freedomists, who reject this kind of thinking, would find find ourselves both beset by the left if we are white or not POC loyal enough and attacked by the white pride loons, inspired and enflamed by the left and the FBI, for either not being “loyal” to the “race” or not being white.

White identitarianism as a jingoistic counter to the woke assault on “whiteness” is dangerous and if the left and the FBI, who seem to want to provoke this garbage, manufacture a “persecution complex” among white people, it could becomes THE major threat to freedom.

This Is Woke “LEADERSHIP”

The mayors of our major cities have fallen prey to the mindless woke mobs and their asinine, contradictory demands. Worse is Portland. Real people are being hurt here. Murder rates are rising or going through the roof, they certainly aren’t going down, and a demand for more disarming the innocent and violating our sacred RIGHT to self-preservation isn’t going to help this at all.

The increased murder rates are “unprecedented” in modern times, according to A REPORT released in February of 2021. But it’s only getting worse, not better. Take away the top 30 most murderous cities and the US would have a far lower murder rate. What’s common in these cities is a high incidence of woke authoritarianism and low incidence of respect for human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing.

Violent crime is also a problem, with your chances of being a victim of violent crime in Detroit being 1 in 51. Given a number of years and you are unlikely to either not be a victim or to have a loved one be a victim.

The woke savage has no mercy. While this spirit loves to virtue signal, it’s actual concern for actual human beings is roughly rated at zero.

Do fewer laws equal less poverty?

Eben McDonald of Counterpoints writes about the way three European countries fought poverty with less laws and less taxes in The Economic Standard.

Eben writes, in part, “Data from the World Economic Forum can easily be used to demonstrate that the world’s most prosperous countries are market-oriented and business-friendly.”

Using Ireland, Switzerland, and Luxembourg as examples, with data to back it up, it becomes clear that economic growth demands that taxes and laws be kept to reasonable levels but that when they are, what we call human flourishing is possible. The weight of excessive taxes and laws, beyond their point of usefulness or where their costs to society outweigh their benefits, drags people and the economy down.

Our perspective is that it’s not JUST about these things, but they are important, it is also about addressing actual disadvantaged communities and groups of people as well as preserving a sociocultural foundation that is life-affirming and that promotes human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing.

We would argue from a Freedomist perspective that the “great reset” invoked by the World Economic Forum, would wage war on private ownership, entrepreneurship, productivity increases, and real economic growth, all the core elements needed to combat poverty. One may be excused to suspecting that poverty is a feature, not a bug, of this “great reset.”

Big Tech Blocks Covid Treatment Information

Connect the dots and follow the money to see why the big tech oligarchy are so desperate to block Covid treatment.

See this segment on the problem. The gist is this, “Sen. Johnson and Dr. Pierre Kory on the impact of censorship in fight against COVID-19 https://t.co/gemBdonw9p @SundayFutures @FoxNews @SenRonJohnson @PierreKory”

The big tech oligarchy is fighting hard to block information and free discussions around possible Covid-19 treatments. Their reasons may be partisan or monetary or both. The powers and entities benefiting from blocking information include the Chinese communist party, the Democratic Party, the lockdown governors, and big pharma. These are all the entities known to have deep hooks into the people who are part of the big tech oligarchy.

The net effect is a potential loss of life. Without free and open discourse, possible effective treatments are a no-go. This means we don’t even block crackpot theories, because the process of scientific exploration demands a “no heresies excluded” approach. Unless actual fraud is being conducted, our major discourse platforms have a moral duty to enforce a scientific standard, not an “orthodoxy against heresy” standard.

The platforms continue to show their lack of ethics and the ease with which their monopoly stranglehold over discourse and commerce, perhaps earned through better serving the market, is being abused now to interfere with the market.
