-Great Cultural Revolution
The Culture of Chaos
[PJ Media] Since October, the comparisons between current events and the rise of the Third Reich have been numerous. And with good reason. Such events have been predicted by pundits for more than a decade. We see in the United States a mirroring of the Weimar Republic. The surveillance state has been firmly cemented into place, and our college students have risen to fill the roles of modern-day Brownshirts. The West is not only aping the descent of places like the Soviet Union, Cambodia, and China; it is also doing its level best to repeat the sins of the Nazi Party.

The odd thing is that Germany, prior to World Wars I and II, was a center of culture, art, and thought. Some of my favorite composers are German, and when I was studying for the ministry, it was a given that some of the world's best theologians came from the region. So, how did Germany transition from a center of culture and learning to a police state riddled with hatred, psychosis, and paranoia? That is a long story, but suffice it to say that evil actors took advantage of an unstable time and a depressed and angry people to create a nightmare that haunts us to this day.

We have the economic malaise and the anger. Our own government has driven many to the brink of poverty, and our media, colleges, and universities have done a yeoman's job of breeding hate and discontent. Few, if any of the people crowing about their hatred for Israel have the slightest understanding of the history of the region, and the race hustlers never tire in their efforts to divide us. Which is perhaps why a woman tried to burn down Martin Luther King, Jr.'s childhood home.

According to the Post Millennial, 26-year-old Laneisha Shantrice Henderson was arrested and charged with second-degree arson. On Thursday, Henderson allegedly tried to set fire to King's birth home, which is managed by the National Parks Service. American Wire reports that visitors from Utah saw Henderson pouring gasoline on the porch of the home before grabbing a lighter to presumably set the porch alight. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center issued the statement below:

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Putin Announces Standing for Fifth Term
[IndianPunchline] The announcement on Friday by Russian President Vladimir Putin that he will seek reelection for a fifth term in office came as no surprise. That he chose the occasion of a Kremlin ceremony conferring the Hero of Russia medals to servicemen who had taken part in Russia’s military operation against Ukraine to make the announcement is striking.

Putin was found responding to an exhortation by the Hero of the Donetsk People’s Republic Artyom Zhoga, commander of the famous Sparta Battalion (who succeeded his son Vladimir, who died at the age of 28 in 2022 and was posthumously awarded the title “Hero of Russia”) that the entire Donbass would like him to participate in the election. There is no question that Col. Zhoga voiced a collective wish of the Russian people.

Government Corruption
How could Washington possibly send tens of billions more to sleazy oligarchs in Ukraine now that the whole enterprise has been revealed as a fruitless
[Canada Free Press] Congressman Thomas Massie is one of the few elected officials courageous enough to express his dissent, and he joined Tucker on X Ep. 45 to explain.

There is an effort in progress to get the U.S. to send another $60 billion to Ukraine.

Instead of standing up to this, Joe Biden's White House is offering its full support. If you're not in favor of unconditional Ukraine backing, they say, then you're working for Vladimir Putin.

Rep. Thomas Massie tells Tucker:

Robert Kennedy Jr. Unmasks the ‘Principal Villains' Behind the COVID Cover-Up
[Vigilant News] According to the CDC, the COVID-19 pandemic has claimed the lives of over 1.15 million Americans. However, after nearly four years of death and economic carnage, there’s been an underwhelming effort to get to the bottom of where it originated, so this may never happen again.

Independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. attests that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. And that a deliberate cover-up by powerful individuals who stood to benefit financially and professionally obscured the truth from the world.

Mary Holland asked Kennedy in a recent interview, "So, you’re a litigator, Bobby. If you could depose any of these cover-up co-conspirators, which ones would you depose, and what would you ask?" Listed below are the "principal villains," according to Robert Kennedy Jr.

ANTHONY FAUCI
Several serious accusations have been leveled against Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former NIAID Director who led the U.S. government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, with respect the COVID cover-up:

#1  His political campaign appears to be a path to a far different goal. I applaud him and wish him well.
Posted by: Besoeker || 12/10/2023 6:19 Comments || Top||

#2  Fauci has weasel excuses for everything.

He uses his own definition of 'gain of function'.

He pretends his words were only advisory.

He says the work in China wasn't funded directly by NIH because it was indirectly funded (NHI to contractor, contractor to China Institute).

Obama is never going away
[American Thinker] I suspect that Barack Obama consciously chose not to allow the world to see his full communist, socialist, leftist leanings while he was still POTUS. And so I fear that many have become convinced that he is a real American.

That is the crux of the matter: don’t you ever wonder about anyone who is so totally dedicated to the destruction of America? And how many still consider him an American? A professional politician can be very good at being a politician while not being very good at being an American.

There are three things that motivate every professional politician: power, money, and sex, in no particular order. One or more is the prime motivator for every professional politician. Everything else that they can possibly want is connected to and dependent on those three.

Obama wanted at least one of those, probably even two. He wanted his legacy as the first black president to be clean for the history books in the future, not to be vilified as another Karl Marx. It would not be clean to go down in history as one of the greatest anti-America presidents in history. He knows that he is still young enough, charismatic enough, connected enough, and is becoming wealthy enough to get away with it.

Please do not give up on America. The forces of evil never give up on their assault. The defenders of American liberty should not give up, either. We may as well get used to that truth and never completely relax. If we relax, the attacks of the left will intensify even more.

Now does it all make more sense? You know, I’m thinking this could be the case with more professional politicians than just Mr. Obama.
