Tucker On X: Episode 46 – Alex Jones | Tucker Carlson
Tucker On X – 6 hours ago
https://rumble.com/v406rx2-tucker-on-x-episode-46-alex-jones-tucker-carlson.html
You beat me to it. I always was a little dismissive of Alex Jones, his delivery was grating, and among his fans (at least here in Oz) I saw too many Jew Haters, especially since the 7/10 massacre, but i have been very impressed by this video, highly recommend.
Any true leader has to be abrasive as sensitivity to fine feelings is counterproductive to all attempts at change. Perhaps not quite to the extent of Caligula (“I don’t care if they hate me so long as they fear me”) but you see the point. That is why Trump. Thatcher and Churchill and even de Gaulle (gulp! did I really type that) made good leaders. When I see a “leader” almost crying (faked or real e.g., Macron, Blair, Trudeau IIRC) I want to be sick.
To plant a field, you must plough it first and crying over the poor plants is pointless.
Alex Jones like his Oz comrade Alan Jones pulls no punches, and both are always in trouble with the elite BUT we NEED such.
When i was younger and had more energy and less sense I read das Kapital (in English as my German is barely passable…still). It was easier, in theory, than Gibbon’s “decline and fall etc.” as being a financial, and then political, moron, I had no pre-established views. With Gibbon, the more I read the more I disagreed as he brushes away the impact of islam on Rome which was the ONE factor that destroyed Rome and almost every Mediterranean state withing reach of the muslim razzias. Reading Marx was a real endurance test, and I was very happy to finish it and add it to the “never again” shelf where it remains still (both were of the Everyman editions).
However, the concept of capital and who actually uses it purely for its power, resonated and when I looked at what Lenin said (Q “where we will we find the money to supply our war?” A “From the capitalists themselves”) and who financially supported him to enable the win in the Bolshevik climb to power(the US elite) I began to wonder: is communism really anti capitalist/anti rich or is it anti-middle class? If so then why?
The middle class, if lucky, sensible and hard working are a stepping stone to the elite so why would capitalists subsidize a group supposedly against them but who wipe out the middle classes while the rich simply move to overseas assets of which they have plenty.? The revolution in France and in Russia taught them that.
I tried hard to find an online reference to THAT 1995 conference that Gates attended. stating the aims of WEF et al.
and this was the best I could do in the last 15 mins(https://thenewamerican.com/us/economy/sectors/bill-gates-davos-elites-pushing-global-food-control-under-guise-of-food-security/). This latter makes it all add-up as forced famine will be the last throw of the elite dice in our destruction.
( I had already predicted famines due to super-grain failure in a teenage essay when I realized that without access to hi tech rare/uncommon minerals you cannot replace them when leached totally out of the soil. Super-grains are far more productive, so the leaching is unsustainable, No one was interested in our government (nor were they about sterile seeds). To make the point of how important these minerals are: cows dropped dead on an Oz farm for no apparent reason until it was discovered that the plants and soil had NO cobalt and replacing it solved the problem. But, I digress.
The point here is that the elite seem to think then (and more so now after the many new CV19 billionaires(467 in the US alone IIRC)) that room at the top is declining too rapidly and that they want to be able to control totally those who enter the club(IIRC you need to have 1 billion $ in quickly obtainable free cash, not assets, to be accepted) or who knock upon its door as in their future world there can never be enough Mouton Rothschild Pauilliac, truffles or caviar to go around.
So IMHO the message of Das Kapital has been twisted by communism into a die Kulaks (sorry!) and that the actual targeted enemy are the middle class. So, the fact that many communist/ (and probably islamic) leaders now are billionaires is not purely due to greed but to ideology. Stalin who refrained from this greed need (so I read) was still happy to borrow money from US bankers to subsidize his massive engineering plants of the 1930s (many installed by US engineers) and then deliberately sacrificed the kulaks/Ukrainians etc. to use their wheat etc. as part payment.
If you really think about it, this is exceptionally cunning of the “elite” but it explains so much. The war against the “white west” is being waged because whites are notoriously less docile than all other races where conformity and obedience (and less creativity as a result) are drilled into them genetically after millennia of selection pressure. It also explains why Jews are still targeted as, they have a greater % of achievers than any other race including whites and are notoriously (according to the Romans) intractable, however peaceful.
The elite want 90% of us gone by 2100. Those left will be more or less drones, there to supply them with their needs and of no value otherwise, i.e., less than slaves. The already trained conformist races will be >99% of them and whites and Jews will be virtually extinct unless they are part of the elite.
What can we do about it?
The ruling elite are totally beyond our ability to ever achieve true justice unless we go late 18th century France way. Even then, even if we were successful, they would just move to the overseas homes or islands along with their ex-SEAL bodyguards. (They actually learnt from France….. except for not a few in Russia, but after that, they ALL did).
This is why almost all the elite have no genuine nationality, nor feel any real patriotism, as they see the planet as their owned home and multinational corporations are their vehicles.
When a MNC chairman says: “we do it for our shareholders”. He is lying as they are “doing it” for ONLY the majority shareholders, you know, the ones who get some of their money back when a company goes to the wall, unlike the petty shareholders who get nothing. These majority shareholders can make a company do anything by the threat of withdrawing. That is how the elite have taken control of so many, as well as of the MSM.
They have control of the west now via their stooges in the military, the police, the bureaucracy and the mafia triad (CIA/FBI/DoJ) so such an event (revolution) is so unlikely, that they can revel in the blatancy of their intentions and acts (such as placing an obviously demented man in as president..just because they COULD).
Add to this the soft backbone of the average westerner, weakened by decades of peace and plenty as well as the Left created schisms within then it is highly unlikely that such can occur ( the parallel with Rome are NO joke). add the fact that almost ALL who post here almost certainly come up in US triad surveillance data then you can see how unlikely it is.
In the unlikely event of a massive upheaval the elite will happily throw their stooges to the wolves, and you may see a line of hangings down some street. But the true culprits will NEVER be touched as justice is an accidental byproduct of western law not an aim nor an intention and even more so now (that is another old essay in itself).
So, before 2100 I see a planned, coming war between the two ideologies: “islam and communism” once the west is undermined and taken over by the “breeders” (so loved by SG1 that they sided with them) this seems that it will be almost certainly nuclear which IMO would be counterproductive to a planned idyllic, elite world (unless confined solely to Israel… but then, islam has never ever cared about how many it kills), so it must be the biological/chemical arm that they hope will work and induced famines will be always nearby.
We, here had no vaxxines and all of us had a CV19 …..3 day cold, but then our Vit D levels were good and my immune system has been well trained of late. The next one will be far more lethal unless we gain access to the supposed “real” vaccines taken by the elite.
Thanks to my previous profession I was horrified to find that they were using injections of m-RNA, and calling them “vaccines” and that is even before I knew about the now known DNA contamination and the multi-organ signs of both at PMs.
As an after-thought when ill, I remember reading an article that the Oz vaccine manufacturer CSIRO had perfected a true vaccine to CV19 and were about to mass produce it when government funding for it was ceased as they had the vaxxine poisons. Funny that!
Addendum
I did miss a point about mentioning Xi being one of the elite, but with his own manifesto in mind as like many, if not most Chinese, and that includes some in the west, he is xenophobic and dislikes all Non Chinese.
I think that he, or rather those CCP chairmen who will follow him, kid the elite that “he” is one of them but will turn on them once they think that they have won.
The elite think that they are using him, but he sees it the other way around.
Once in the “elite” club, race, nationality ideology and religion play IN THEORY (I have doubts about members of the two ideologies) no role, as only the exertion of power for their “vision” matters hence the comprehensive, organized attack on the whole world, but especially the west.
ALL IMHO

Of course not!

Canadian Journalist Ian Vandaelle, who pushed COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine passports and wanted unvaccinated Toronto Police Officers fired – died suddenly at age 33 on Dec.5, 2023
Dr. William Makis – December 8, 2023
https://makismd.substack.com/p/canadian-journalist-ian-vandaelle?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
Ian Vandaelle, a 33 year old Canadian MSM journalist who heavily promoted Covid-19 vaccinations and advocated for vaccine passports; firing of those who refused the jab has died after being hospitalized and declared neurologically dead.
Ian was a business journalist, worked as a reporter and editor for the Financial Post and was previously a producer at BNN Bloomberg for over a decade.
He had taken to social media multiple times, advocating incentives to encourage Covid-19 vaccination. “I for one advocate we bring the carrot and the stick. Incentivize getting the vaccine however we like — ice cream, lotteries, vaccination however we like, I don’t care. —Require vaccination to do non-essential things. Wanna go to a bar to watch a game? Passport.”
He urged the Toronto police to terminate members who declined the jab by saying “Take the jab or resign; anything else is moral and ethical cowardice. You take the oath to protect citizens. You get vaxed. Shameful that we have to say this.”
Vandaelle seemed in good health and actively engaged in his work as indicated by his various social media posts before his hospitalization.
IDF Finds Terror Tunnels and Rocket Launchers at US- and EU-Funded Hamas University in Gaza
by Richard Abelson Dec. 8, 2023 9:45 am199 Comments
Al-Azhar University is the main training facility of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza. It was funded with $10,000 by the US government in 2019, and with €5 million by the EU 2015-2020. Now IDF troops have reached the campus and found extensive military infrastructure and armaments.
Hamas used Al-Azhar University to build and store Qassam rockets to shoot at Israel. Videos circulated on Nov. 4 showed it being destroyed by IAF air strikes.
Now IDF ground forces have reached the ruins of the Hamas university and unearthed extensive terror tunnels and weapons caches.
A terror tunnel was discovered running from the university yard to a school 1 kilometer away, along with weapons, explosives, and rockets.
IDF troops located terror infrastructure on the university campus,, including an underground tunnel that ran from the university’s yard and continued to a school one kilometer away, Israel National News – Arutz Sheva reports. Numerous weapons, including explosive devices, rocket parts, launchers, explosive device detonation systems, and other technological assets were located and taken for an intelligence analysis and investigation, Arutz Sheva writes.
Hamas used university buildings for attacks against IDF forces, the troops found. IDF troops conducted a raid on a Hamas observation control room in the area of the Shati Hospital, where 200 communication devices and dozens of cameras were located.
In the area of the Hamas observation control room, an operational tunnel shaft, magazines, grenades, a sniper post, military equipment, and firing holes were located.
The Fulbright Program has funded at least a dozen Al-Azhar University “scholars” since 1994, allowing them to travel to the United States and do God knows what. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) granted the Hamas university €175,000 in 2015, a statement by Al-Azhar said.
The Hamas-affiliated Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) had criticized the “far-right” and “racist apartheid” Israeli government’s bombardment of the terror University as part of a “genocidal campaign” of “indiscriminate attacks on refugee camps”.
Now it seems the IAF was perfectly justified in bombing Al-Azhar. CAIR has yet to comment.
Spealking at the American Muslims for Palestine convention in Chicago on Nov. 24, CAIR’s national executive director Nihad Awad said that “The people of Gaza have the right to self-defense … Israel, as an occupying power, does not have that right to self-defense.” He added that he was “happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land.”
On Dec. 1 at a speech to the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, the executive director of the Los Angeles CAIR chapter, Hussam Ayloush, argued that Israel “does not have the right to defend itself, as an occupier to defend itself from the occupied. No, it doesn’t, this is not a rhetorical thing. … It doesn’t, legally, under international law. No occupier has the right to defend itself from the occupied.”
The White House has now stealth-edited its website to remove mention of CAIR, JNS reports. White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates told reporters that the White House condemns “shocking, antisemitic statements” of CAIR’s executive director “in the strongest terms.”
“The horrific, brutal terrorist attacks committed by Hamas on Oct. 7 were, as [U.S.] President [Joe] Biden said, ‘abhorrent’ and represent ‘unadulterated evil,’” Mr. Bates said. “Oct. 7 was the deadliest day for Jewish people since the Holocaust. The atrocities of that day shock the conscience, which is why we can never forget the pain Hamas has caused for so many innocent people.”
“There are families who are in agony mourning loved ones, and there are also families in agony as they do everything in their power to free loved ones being held hostage,” Mr. Bates states. “Every leader has a responsibility to call out antisemitism wherever it rears its ugly head.”

DC Taco Stand Owner Says He Spends $4K a Week on Private Security Due to Crime Crisis
by Cassandra MacDonald Dec. 8, 2023 9:15 am199 Comments
A DC taco stand owner says he is spending $4,000 a week on private security due to the massive surge in crime.
Bo Blair, who owns the Surfside Taco Stand and several other establishments, said he has spent over $450,000 on security this year.
Blair told Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins that the massive cost is “not sustainable.”
“Hopefully we can get through this crime crisis and we won’t have to do that in the future. The total amount of money we spent on security for this year at all the locations was over $450,000,” he added.
Fox News reports, “Jenkins said Blair owns ten other restaurants in Washington, and that it has not been as easy to pass off security costs to customers as some restaurants were able to do when inflation first reared its head.”
Some of Blair’s establishments are now paying more for security than rent.
DC has had Democrat mayors since Home Rule was established in 1975.
“Carjackings alone have more than doubled over the past year in Washington, with the latest figure for 2023 sitting at 928. Two hundred and fifty-four homicides were also recorded in the District this year, a nearly-one-third increase,” the report noted.
WTOP News reports, “Retail theft is on the rise in the D.C. area and nationwide. Shrink — a term used by retailers to identify inventory loss — accounted for $112.1 billion in losses in 2022, according to the National Retail Federation, an association that represents department stores, restaurants, grocery stores and other companies that provide goods and services.”

“Hunter is in a Lot of Trouble” – Former Federal Prosecutor Breaks Down Latest Hunter Biden Indictment
by Cristina Laila Dec. 8, 2023 12:40 pm211 Comments
Former federal prosecutor Will Scharf broke down the latest federal indictment against Hunter Biden.
The Justice Department on Thursday filed new criminal charges against Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden was hit with a 9-count indictment filed in the Central District of California: Tax evasion, failure to file/pay taxes, and false/fraudulent tax return.
The new indictment was handed down by Special Counsel David Weiss after a sweetheart plea deal on tax charges fell apart over the summer.
David Weiss’s investigation into Hunter Biden is ongoing.
The indictment details a “four-year scheme” to avoid the $1.4+ million tax obligations he owed between 2016 and 2019 and to file false returns.
“Between 2016 and October 15, 2020, the Defendant individually received more than $7 million in total gross income. This included in excess of $1.5 million in 2016, $2.3 million in 2017, $2.1 million in 2018, $1 million in 2019 and approximately $188,000 from January through October 15, 2020. In addition, from January through October 15, 2020, the Defendant received approximately $1.2 million in financial support to fund his extravagant lifestyle,” according to the indictment reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

Trump-appointed judge will oversee Hunter Biden’s tax evasion case: First Son faces 17 YEARS in jail for four-year $1.4m tax evasion scheme and is accused of spending millions on ‘drugs, hookers and fast cars’ instead
A Trump-appointed judge is set to oversee Hunter Biden’s tax evasion case as the First Son faces nine new charges filed by the Justice Department on Thursday.
Judge Mark Scarsi, an appointee of the former President Donald Trump, has been assigned the case which alleges Hunter was involved in a four-year $1.4m tax evasion scheme.
All nine charges relate to tax, including two felony charges for filing a false return, a felony charge for tax evasion, four failure to pay charges, and a further two charges for failure to file. The charges span the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 tax years.
Prosecutors allege President Joe Biden’s son spent millions on an ‘extravagant lifestyle’ while avoiding paying taxes for years. The Justice Department says Hunter faces up to 17 years in prison.
The 53-year-old is also facing up to 25 years in prison on felony gun charges in Delaware in the second trial that could have a devastating impact on his father’s 2024 campaign.
The indictment states that despite receiving millions in personal income and financial support from a friend, Hunter ‘spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes’.

Hunter Biden Faces 42 Years in Prison for Tax and Gun Charges
Hunter Biden faces 42 years in federal prison for nine tax and three gun charges filed by special counsel David Weiss.
17 years on tax charges
25 years on gun charges
Weiss charged Hunter Biden on Thursday, asserting he was “engaged in a four-year scheme” to not pay at least $1.4 million in taxes “he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019 and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns.”
“If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison,” the Department of Justice wrote regarding the tax indictment. “Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.”
In September, Weiss charged Hunter Biden with gun violations: one count of false statement in the purchase of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and one count of false statement related to information required to be kept by federal firearms licensed dealer.
The House Oversight Committee credited the IRS whistleblowers for exposing the Biden administration’s “political interference” in the probe. Weiss was set to agree to a sweetheart plea deal with Hunter until the deal fell apart under judicial scrutiny. The judge was aware of the IRS whistleblower claims.
“This would not have been possible without the two brave IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, blowing the whistle,” the committee posted on X. “Americans should applaud these men for their courage to expose the truth.”
The committee suggested the ongoing probe could implicate President Joe Biden. Shapley previously told Congress he was prevented from investigating the “big guy”:
When you see 10 held by H for the big guy and we have other correspondence where they are saying, don’t call dad – you know, call dad something else, call him – because we are trying to confuse or conceal who it is, that is issue for concern. And was there 10 percent that went to the big guy? We will never know because we weren’t allowed to investigate that.
House investigators opened a probe into the Biden family in November 2022. They revealed Joe Biden received money from James Biden and Hunter Biden. They also showed that nine additional Biden family members received payments from the family’s foreign business ventures, including two of the president’s grandchildren.
More evidence against Joe Biden can be found here.

“Just Rip it Up”: Hunter Biden is a Case Study of the Perils of Legal Gluttony
The second indictment of Hunter Biden brought nine new criminal charges and a host of problems for both him and his father. The indictment shatters past claims and denials related to the massive influence peddling operation by the Bidens. However, it is also a case study of the perils of legal gluttony.
Five months ago, exasperated Biden defense counsel Chris Clark snapped at federal prosecutors to “just rip it up” after a plea bargain hit a snag in a hearing before Judge Maryellen Noreika. They did and, for the first time, Hunter could be facing a real chance for jail time.
The six misdemeanor charges and three felonies carry a potential sentence of 17 years for alleged tax evasion and filing a false return. It could have been worse. The Justice Department inexplicably allowed the statute of limitations to run on the most serious allegations involving payments from years going back to 2013. Those are mentioned in the narrative of the indictment but not charged as separate offenses.
None of this would have happened if Judge Noreika did not ask a very simple question about the plea agreement and a sweeping immunity provision buried in its language. Many judges would have likely flagged through the agreement and given Hunter the sweetest of sweetheart deals.
Noreika noticed that the deal seemed to give Hunter immunity for any crime going forward and asked the prosecutor if he had ever seen any agreement like this one. He honestly answered “no.”
It was later learned that there was a push within the Justice Department to have no charges at all brought against Hunter in an investigation that was heavily laden with special treatment, according to IRS whistleblowers.
The investigation by the House has shown how Hunter and his counsel allowed their appetite for special treatment to turn into a raging disorder. The Justice Department reportedly gave Hunter a “heads up” about planned searches and interviews, scuttling those efforts. Even though the Justice Department had an agreement to “toll the statute” to prevent the early charges from expiring, the Special Counsel just let them die without any rational reason.
In this “all-you-can-eat” legal Smorgasbord, it is little surprise that the Biden team would demand an unprecedented immunity deal and just two misdemeanors after years of tax evasion covering millions from insider trading.
After all, Attorney General Merrick Garland had refused the calls of many of us to appoint a Special Counsel to look into the corruption scandal. The scandal was capped off legally and the media was running cover for Hunter.
The laptop was falsely denounced as Russian disinformation and the media largely dismissed influence peddling claims. Whenever new allegations surfaced, the President and the media would literally run to the nearest ice cream shop to discuss the President’s favorite flavors.
In other words, why ask for a sweeping immunity deal? The answer was why not.
That all came crashing down when Judge Noreika just cleared her throat in court.
As the prosecutors struggled to explain the absurd immunity provision, the Biden legal team was obviously shocked at the notion that they might have to exercise portion control. After all, the President himself has declared “no one f**ks with a Biden.”
That is when they told the prosecutors to “just rip it up.” Those are the four most dangerous words that a criminal defendant could utter in a hearing on a plea deal. They could have immediately narrowed the immunity deal and even added a few misdemeanors to salvage the deal. Instead, they shredded their client.
What followed was performative and frankly a tad pathetic. To the thrill of some in the media, the Biden team promised to get aggressive with witnesses and critics. They started to make demands as if they still controlled events, including saying that they would only comply with a congressional subpoena on their own terms.
It won’t work. A bill has come due. While Garland is still protecting President Biden from a Special Counsel, Hunter Biden is going to have to face these alleged crimes and corruption. Even the media is now admitting that he was influence peddling, though maintaining a final line of defense for the president. The last defense is that it was corrupt, but merely illusory because it did not actually influence Joe Biden.
In other words, Hunter is rapidly becoming expendable.
The lesson for lawyers should be lasting: even if you can secure a massive sweetheart deal, you may want to exercise a modicum of portion control. That “all-you-can-eat” option may not be the best course for your client. The Justice Department was clearly willing to give Hunter anything that he demanded, but maybe you need to demand less. Sometimes it is better to go for the more limited a la carte option. Your client will consume less but he may be able to get up from the table. In other words, you need to be careful what you ask for . . . you just might get it.

50-Year-Old Man with Ph.D. ‘Identifying’ as Teenage Girl Competes in Swim Meet, Showers in Girl’s Locker Room (VIDEO)
by David Greyson Dec. 7, 2023 4:20 pm515 Comments
According to Rebel News, Nicholas Cepeda, a 50-year-old man in Canada who “transitioned” into “Melody Wiseheart,” was allowed to enter a swim competition with teenage girls and shower in their locker room.
Twenty years ago we would not have even imagined this, but here we are in 2023.
Right before Cepeda was heading out after the competition, Rebel News reported that he did not even opt for the gender-neutral restroom or the men’s restroom. Instead, this 50-year-old pervert decided to change in the women’s locker room.
“Mr. Cepeda, what is the deal? Why are you swimming with 13-year-olds? Why are you breaking world aquatic rules? Why are you running? Mr. Cepeda, are you a sexual pervert? Why won’t you answer these questions?” Rebel News said.

Kevin McKernan loses entire database of research after NZ health service obtains an injunction to prevent sharing of leaked Covid vax health data
Rebekah Barnett
Dec 5, 2023
US-based genomics scientist Kevin McKernan says he has lost an estimated US$200, 000 worth of research data after his account on file hosting service MEGA was deleted overnight.
It appears that McKernan’s account was deleted by MEGA in response to an urgent injunction granted to New Zealand’s (NZ) Ministry of Health (MOH) to prevent the sharing of anonymised data leaked by whistleblower Barry Young.
Young, a 56 year old database administrator and former employee of the MOH, leaked data from a ‘pay per dose’ Covid vaccine database to NZ journalist Liz Gunn and US tech millionaire and Substacker Steve Kirsch.
Both Gunn and Kirsch claimed that the data showed conclusive proof that the Covid vaccines are killing people at high rates. Kirsch publicly uploaded the data on Friday 1 December, the same day the injunction was granted to the MOH.
McKernan had ‘mirrored’ Kirsch’s data upload on his MEGA account to make it easier for people to download and analyse after international confusion broke out following the sensationalised release, which brought the integrity of whistleblower’s data into question.
Having heard that an injunction had been granted to the MOH to prevent further distribution of the NZ data, McKernan says that he texted Kirsch to get clarity on Sunday 3 December, but did not hear back.

U.S. approves first gene-editing treatment, Casgevy, for sickle cell disease
Published Fri, Dec 8 2023 11:19 AM EST
Updated 33 Min Ago
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved the country’s first gene-editing treatment, Casgevy, for use in patients with sickle cell disease.
The approval comes about a decade after the discovery of CRISPR technology for editing human DNA, representing a significant scientific advancement. Yet reaching the tens of thousands of people who could benefit from the treatment could be challenging given the potential hurdles — including cost — of administering the complex therapy.
Casgevy, co-developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics, uses Nobel Prize-winning technology CRISPR to edit a person’s genes to treat disease. The treatment was approved by U.K. regulators last month.

Affirm Israel’s Right to Exist in Writing if You Want German Citizenship, Migrants Told by Saxony
A German state has decreed that migrants seeking to become citizens must formally acknowledge the state of Israel’s right to exist as the country attempts to deal with rising antisemitism.
The application process for citizenship naturalisation in the state of Saxony-Anhalt will now require that foreigners commit in writing “that they recognise Israel’s right to exist and condemn any efforts directed against the existence of the State of Israel.” Those who refuse to do so will not have their applications rejected and a note of their refusal will be logged in their immigration file.

The New National Pastime: Blob-ball
“The similarities between the late 1980s USSR and present day USA are uncanny — the endless lies, the corruption, the hollowing out of institutions, the censorship, and the decrepit leadership that is despised by the public.” — Dr Toby Rogers
The blob ran a clever third down lawfare play deep in its own territory Thursday night, a sort of double-reverse statue of liberty counter-switcheroo in its game-plan to “save our democracy,” as it calls its agenda of suppressions, persecutions, swindles, bad trips, and mind-fucks laid on the sore-beset people of this land. Blob special prosecutor David C. Weiss finally managed to indict Hunter Biden on tax evasion charges so flagrant and obvious that all the ham sandwiches convicted for the Jan 6 “insurrection” watched in awe from their prison cells.
You understand, this was months after Mr. Weiss concocted a cream puff plea deal for the president’s beloved son that blew up embarrassingly in the Delaware federal court when Judge Maryellen Noreika discerned a lifetime get-out-of-jail-free clause buried deep in the document, at about the same time that two IRS whistleblowers revealed the malfeasant incompetence of Mr. Weiss’s initial five-year-long dawdling investigation that, oops, let the statute of limitations run out on many of the pending charges.
That fiasco was followed by Mr. Weiss and AG Merrick Garland contradicting each other in House testimony about who had investigative authority where in the federal court matrix. And finally, the tax evasion matters landed in the Biden-friendly Los Angeles federal district, where Hunter officially lives (when not hiding out in the Lincoln bedroom), emerging from a grand jury Thursday night as a bill for three felonies and six misdemeanors.
The indictment, a public document, contains some interesting particulars, such as Hunter attempting to write off as business expenses $683,212 in fees for the unspecified services of “various women” (much as the services rendered by Hunter’s Owasco PC shell company were never specified in million-dollar legal retainer agreements made with Chinese “clients”). The curious can consult the website https://bidenreport.com, a.k.a. “Marco Polo” for a photographic record of Hunter B’s sex trafficking capers, such as:

Hamas condemns Israel over images showing detained Palestinians in underwear
CAIRO (Reuters) -A senior Hamas official accused Israeli forces on Friday of carrying out a “heinous crime against innocent civilians” after images of detained Palestinian men stripped to their underwear in Gaza circulated on social media.
Izzat El-Reshiq, who is in exile abroad, urged international human rights organisations to intervene to show what happened to the men and help secure their release.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it was concerned by the images and that all detainees must be treated with humanity and dignity in accordance with international humanitarian law.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, whose country backs Hamas, also criticised Israel, accusing it on X of “barbarity in the treatment of innocent captives and citizens”.
Israeli TV On Thursday showed footage, which Reuters has verified, of what it said were captured Hamas fighters, stripped to their underwear with heads bowed sitting in a Gaza City street.

Woman douses MLK birth home in gas in attempted arson
The birth home of Martin Luther King, Jr. was doused in gasoline in an arson attempt. Atlanta police say a woman is in custody after trying to burn the house to the ground. A good Samaritan stopped the woman just before disaster struck.
ATLANTA – Two off-duty New York City Police officers and two Utah tourists are being credited with helping to stop the intentional burning of what Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum describes as a “jewel of the city.”
Atlanta police officers rushed to Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birth home in Atlanta just after 5:45 p.m. Thursday after reports of vandalism in progress.
Chief Schierbaum says two tourists from Utah saw the woman dousing the plants, porch, and the front door of the home with what smelled like gasoline. The bystanders told officers they intervened when they saw her try to ignite a lighter.
Meanwhile, two off-duty NYPD officers visiting the area were able to detain the woman until APD officers arrived at the scene. A video shared with FOX 5 shows a woman being detained on the ground by officers.

Regardless of what New York Governor Kathy Hochul says about crime rates in New York, the truth is they are increasing, especially in New York City. As a matter of fact, crime is so bad in the Big Apple that bodega owners have united and formed an alliance to make sure they are armed and protected against the robberies and violent assaults that are occurring daily. That’s right, the good old-fashioned solution to violence is alive and well in NYC, despite the counteracting measures New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York State Governor Kathy Hochul may be trying to implement. The best response to a violent attack is having the ability to shoot back. Even the majority Democrat voter base in New York City is starting to see that reality.

More than 260,000 Israelis have applied for firearm permits since the horrific Hamas terrorist attacks, according to The Times of Israel.
While the Israeli government has loosened some permitting restrictions, the results are still far from the civil rights Americans enjoy under the Second Amendment.
Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s National Security Minister, told the Times his office was approving 3,000 firearm permit applications per day, as opposed to around 100 per day before the terrorist attacks.
“When the war started, we knew that we were right when we said that every person that has a weapon can save a life,” Ben Gvir said, according to the Times. “We need to enable as many people as possible to carry a weapon.”
Previously, Israelis had to serve two years in the Israeli Defense Forces before they could apply for a firearm permit. Now, they can apply after serving one year in the IDF or other national service. In addition, those who work or live in a “qualified dangerous area” can also apply for a firearm permit. Israeli civilians who have no firearms training can also apply, although they will have to demonstrate proficiency before they receive a permit.
Despite the loosened permitting process, armed Israelis must still comply with ammunition rules, use-of-force laws they call “open-fire procedures,” and carry restrictions that most of us would find intolerable.

Senator: Banks Flagged Suspicious Activity at Joe Biden’s Residence Six Times
By Eric Lendrum
December 8, 2023
A Republican senator recently revealed that several banks had filed at least six reports concerning suspicious activity at the Delaware residence of Joe Biden.
According to Just The News, Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), the ranking member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, made his claim on Thursday, saying that the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) documented roughly $12 million worth of transactions in the last several years, with some of those transactions passing through Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware. Concerns were raised about the money possible being tied to money-laundering or human trafficking.
Johnson pointed out that, at the very least, Biden would have been aware of the fact that his son Hunter was actively using the home address for banking and business purposes, as the mail arriving at the residence would have tipped him off. This raises further questions about the elder Biden’s claims that he knew nothing about his son’s foreign business dealings, which are at the heart of the House GOP’s impeachment inquiry against him.
“There’d be so much activity coming into his address, in this case, Hunter Biden’s businesses, that he obviously would have to be aware,” said Johnson. “So, again, I just use the word obvious; it has been so obvious for so long, that Biden Inc. is a corrupt enterprise. And that this president is corrupt, that he is compromised.”
“And he fully was aware of this, that he fully benefited from it,” Johnson continued. “The members of his family benefited from all these millions of dollars flowing in from countries that are adversarial to America.”
Johnson’s statements came shortly after Special Counsel David Weiss, who had been assigned to investigate possible tax-related crimes committed by Hunter Biden, announced a new indictment against Hunter with nine different charges. Weiss’ indictment alleges that Hunter

South Africa’s Julius Malema threatens destruction if anti-white demands aren’t met
By Olivia Murray
Julius Malema, one of South Africa’s most notorious anti-white political figures, is threatening destruction if he and his ideologues don’t get a seat “at the dinner table.” Now, I’m not exactly sure from when this video is, but over the past few days it’s been making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter); it can be seen below:

This is what it is all about:
“We are fighting to sit at the dinner table. White people, you will no longer eat alone. We are coming to sit at the dinner table, and if you are refusing us to sit at the dinner table, we are going to destroy that dinner table!”
https://twitter.com/twatterbaas/status/1731405435125592418
Well, let’s look at the facts now shall we? For decades, the South African government has made “land reform” a priority, which really just meant redistribution from white to black, and it’s been a total and utter failure. From a Los Angeles Times article in 2010, after more than 15 years of “reform” and reparations:
Michael Zulu trundles a wheelbarrow along the track to his farm homestead, where chickens peck at the carpet and skinny cats curl sleeping amid the bird droppings.
He’s the farmer now, not just a tractor driver for a white farmer named Engelbrecht, like he used to be.
But he has a shirt full of holes, the roofless ruins of a dairy and a stretch of farmland whose only crop is cow manure, bagged up and stacked against a wall as a substitute for firewood.
‘I thought I’d be much better off. But I think it was better with Mr. Engelbrecht. We lived high with Mr. Engelbrecht. We got money from him and we could look after our children.’
The land program had noble intent: redressing the wrongs of apartheid, when blacks were denied access to farmland, and lifting black rural people out of grinding poverty by buying farms from willing white owners and giving them to blacks.
It has done neither.
Nearly another 15 years on, things are still the same. One in-depth analysis, published in January of this year, revealed just how bad “reform” has been for everybody, with the data to prove it:

The Government’s Historic Failure to Limit Firearms
By Michael Ange
As we watch another case on firearms go to the U.S. Supreme Court, this one with ancillary political pressure, it is interesting to look at the pace of recent cases versus the dearth of Second Amendment cases historically. One would think such a hotly debated topic would be rife with judicial interventions on a routine basis, but that is just not the case.
It is instructive to look at history in terms of both numbers and results. This list is fairly exhaustive but notably excludes discussion of cases relying on the commerce clause of the Constitution and some cases where Second Amendment protections were mentioned in decisions on other issues of law but did not directly address the right to bear arms.
Beginning in the post-1860s turmoil of the Civil War, we see the first significant case, U.S. v. Cruikshank, 1875, which was technically a civil rights case, where the Court ruled that the Constitution bars the actions of Congress, not the actions of private citizens, in depriving freed slaves of their civil rights. This is an unconscionable decision today, but apparently, it was in keeping with the times. While not addressing gun rights specifically, it was the refusal of the KKK to allow freed slaves to be armed that brought the case before the Court. Subsequent legislation would nullify this ruling, but that legislation would not and does not address the action of politicians as a criminal violation.
Dred Scott is notable in this same vein. A case that denied the citizenship rights of “free negroes” also addressed the 2nd Amendment, by noting it as a right of all free men: “and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
In Presser v. Illinois, 1886, SCOTUS ruled that the 2nd Amendment is a right of individuals, not the right of militias. The case addressed whether there is a constitutional right of citizens to form private or community military organizations, and the Court ruled that there is not. This is the first ruling where the 2nd Amendment is recognized as a personal individual right, although the Court gets to it through a back door. Regardless of the Court’s intent, the ruling clearly sets a precedent that had not previously been set, at least not by the High Court.
The Court would stand moot on this issue for the next 50 years. Then, influenced by its previous ruling in Presser, it produced a ruling in support of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). U.S. v. Miller is the most interesting ruling in Second Amendment history. Miller was charged with owning a shotgun with a barrel shorter than eighteen inches and without paying the requisite tax on that firearm, a violation of the 1934 NFA. Miller relied upon the 2nd Amendment, but the Court ruled that there was no history of short-barreled shotguns being used in military service, and that type of firearm therefore is not covered by the 2nd Amendment. The resulting test indicates that guns that are commonly used or at least suitable for use in military service are covered by the 2nd Amendment, whereas others are not. In the common era of chants for bans, this decision protecting only weapons of war is rarely discussed.
It is interesting that the NFA was the nation’s first legislative attempt to restrict gun ownership for all citizens and residents of the U.S., and it has stood for 90 years without being specifically addressed by the Court, aside from this one case. Nor has the Court addressed the legality of taxing a constitutional right, essentially making that right more protected for higher socio-economic classes than the common man.
It is nearly 70 years before we see another significant Supreme Court ruling directly addressing the 2nd Amendment: D.C. v. Heller, 2008, where the Court essentially upheld its 1886 ruling that keeping arms is an individual right.
Only two years later, in McDonald v. Chicago, 2010, the Court ruled that the 14th Amendment incorporates the 2nd Amendment in its protections and that the States are prohibited from infringing the 2nd Amendment, just as Congress is. In 2020, we have a footnote, where the City of New York attempted similar infringement but repealed its law before the Courts could rule on its constitutionality, effectively depriving the citizens of what would have almost certainly been another ruling that barred government from violating individual rights.
This brings us to the most recent case, New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, where the Court ruled in 2022 that N.Y. could not assume that the right to bear arms applies only to the home. The Court stopped just short of finding actions by the States to permit a constitutional violation but essentially disallowed all permitting not based on “shall issue” premise. In short, permitting schemes using any criteria other than a background check are not allowed by the new ruling. This seems straightforward, but the language of the Court has fueled angst for certain judges. The dilemma seems to be linked to a “new standard” for judicial review of firearm laws that requires that modern laws be “consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
It is of interest that what is one of the most hotly assaulted civil rights as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution has been before SCOTUS only six times, and half of those were within the last 15 years, with the seventh case being heard on November 7, U.S. v. Rahimi.
The NFA itself has yet to be challenged at the SCOTUS level, nor has any modification in the bill been challenged. The 1986 machine gun ban has been tested in the lower courts, but it has been upheld only under provisions of the commerce clause of the United States Constitution. In fact, in 1991, the U.S. District Court for Central Illinois ruled in U.S. v. Rock Island Armory that the possession of a machine gun cannot be prosecuted under the provisions of the National Firearms Act but allowed a conviction to stand under the commerce clause. Although not an appellate precedent, the decision was not challenged, probably to avoid a precedent that certain factions would find contrary to efforts to disarm the population.
Now the Biden administration brings the case of Rahimi, a domestic abuser, because he is an attractive person to deny constitutional rights, given his history of alleged abuse and an active restraining order, which the administration obviously feels provides an opportunity to obtain a precedent for restricting rights. The question, however, is whether a conviction is required to meet the burden of denying rights. Perhaps of more interest is that, although not relevant to the actual case, Rahimi is accompanied by pressure from the left to relieve the Judiciary of the burden of stare decisis and the “confusion” ensuing from the Bruen decision.
The Second Amendment is clearly written, in eighth-grade English, and the only perceived uncertainty is the reference to militias, which is actually an argument of syntax. Even if that issue had merit, it has been resolved with crystal-clear precedent since Presser in 1886. It is puzzling, then, how Bruen, directing the Judiciary to reference such a clear line of precedent, has created such a dilemma for certain members of the Judiciary. In fact, consistency in the application and interpretation of law is perhaps the most required of philosophical tenets in the validation of Western jurisprudence.
The Courts do not randomly change positions on law. Murder is illegal; it has always been illegal. While procedural issues on admissibility and validity of evidence, the rules of the courts regarding process, or even the penalties may change, the law making the taking of a human life with malice aforethought illegal remains consistent throughout the history of the nation and even before the U.S. was a nation. Likewise, the elements of a valid contract are essentially unchanged since the nation’s founding, so this reliance on historical decision is not new, or, as some have claimed, “out of left field.” In fact, the premise is so well ingrained that lawyers even have a name for it, stare decisis, which legaldictionary.com defines as “let the decision stand.” The “doctrine of precedent” is indeed the heart of the entire common law system. Yet we have cries to single out this issue and not apply precedent because it creates uncertainty and a need for research.
If we look at the body of law and the decisions of SCOTUS, what we see is a clear line of precedent, where SCOTUS has repeatedly pushed the states and the Congress back into line. Unlike many constitutional issues, including the First Amendment, the Court has never waffled on this issue at all. None of these decisions, with perhaps the exception of Miller, has served to limit the rights of Americans; they have all served to limit the right of government to infringe that which the Second Amendment says may not be infringed. After decades of letting sleeping and somewhat rabid dogs lie, it seems the Court is actively engaged in its primary job of protecting citizens from government overreach on this issue.
Perhaps the time is right to see a decision on the constitutionality of the NFA, as many of the firearms, like short-barreled rifles, do in fact have military application in 2023 and, as such, meet the test prescribed in Miller. One can persuasively argue that fully automatic weapons, so called machine guns, have always met the Miller test and should never have been banned in 1986 or taxed in 1934, as the courts did in Rock Island Armory.
The Court carefully and perhaps judiciously avoided a direct ruling on the assault weapons ban of 1994 by simply ignoring questions related to the ban in the several cases brought before it. This era of avoidance seemed to terminate with Heller, so perhaps a ruling will be forthcoming as multiple states attempt to ban “assault weapons.” At the time of this writing and since Bruen, bans have been both upheld and overruled by the federal courts, have received similar mixed results in the appellate courts and seem destined for SCOTUS.
Given the 150-year history of Second Amendment decisions, the most prudent move for the anti-gun movement might be to avoid further decisions from this Court. Any expectation that the same Court will reverse a position it reached only two years ago seems unlikely in the extreme.

It’s Not Just the Second Amendment Anti-Gunners Oppose
By Tom Knighton | 8:29 AM on December 08, 2023
It’s Not Just the Second Amendment Anti-Gunners Oppose
I’ve long argued that our gun rights were included in the Bill of Rights as an insurance policy, one meant to make absolutely certain we could fight back against tyranny if our free speech or freedom to worship as we choose were to be stripped from us.
Advertisement
And, to be fair, we do see more restrictions of freedom of speech and things of that sort in countries that have already eliminated people’s ability to arm themselves effectively.
Here in the US, our anti-gun crowd says they respect our right to keep and bear arms, they just want some “common sense” gun control.
That’s hard to believe when it’s clear they don’t even respect freedom of speech.
The problem with this, of course, is that these groups routinely pretend that opposition to their gun control schemes is racist, thus making it entirely possible to argue that opposition to gun control is, in fact, a type of hate speech.
See, no one takes issue with social media companies taking action against threats of violence, even if their algorithm is completely unable to determine what’s an actual threat and what isn’t. Few are really taking issue with them clamping down on actual hate speech.
The problem is that social media companies have shown a profound bias regarding what kind of speech gets regulated on their platforms. Some of the most hateful comments I’ve ever seen were ignored by Facebook and Twitter, who said those comments didn’t violate their community guidelines, while more benign comments were hammered and the people who wrote them got temporary bans.
What these laws were meant to do is restrict these companies from picking sides in the ideological battles, something they’ve failed at.
Yet then we have the gun control crowd rolling in and saying it’s all about hate speech. It’s not. It’s about the fact that social media companies tend to be their allies in the assault on our rights and laws in a couple of states actually make it impossible for anti-gunners to just cry “hate speech” when they get their posteriors handed to them in an online debate.
Advertisement
They want to be able to manipulate public perception over the gun rights debate to make it seem as if we who support the Second Amendment are the minority, all in hopes that we’ll abandon our wicked ways. They don’t want people seeing both sides because, if that happens, they just might lose.
Either way, they’ve been the beneficiaries of the status quo, so they want to keep the status quo as they assault our rights on social media.
That’s what this is really about and don’t let them claim otherwise.

Another irresponsible opinion piece in the government subsidized Globe and Mail.
Gary Mason’s hit piece early on in the “pandemic”
“With hospitals in crisis, it’s time there were consequences for vaccine holdouts. We have reached that phase in the pandemic where genuine panic could set in.
—You sense it around the world as governments struggle with a Covid-19 variant that is making more people sick and sending greater numbers to hospitals.
Everywhere you look, it seems health authorities are declaring emergencies or, as they are known in Britain, “major incidents”. This is where the number of admissions is spiking dramatically, at the same time hospitals are straining under significant staff shortages.
My patience for vaccine holdouts reached an end a long time ago. now with our hospitals in crisis, it is time we got rough with “these people”
There was never any mention about the numbers of people whose lives should have been saved with early treatment with ivermectin. He never mentioned the millions of vaccine adverse reactions (CDC actual # 1,000.229) at that point in time. No mention of myocarditis, pericarditis, Bell’s Palsy, Guillian Barre Syndrome, miscarriages or still borne babies. No he just rambled on spewing more fear and panic. Why are Canadians tolerating such subsidized,irresponsible ignorance?
Was he aware that the man who invented the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology, biochemist, Karry Mullis regarded the PCR as inappropriate to detect a viral infection. The reason is the intended use of the PCR was, and still is, to apply it as a manufacturing technique, being able to replicate DNA sequences millions and billions of times and NOt as a diagnostic tool to detect viruses.
In fairness to Mason, since the Globe and Mail was running a daily tally of the number of Covid cases, he probably did not know the PCR test was a joke.
Dr. Francis Christian, a practicing surgeon and clinical professor of general surgery at the University of Saskatchewan, was suspended effective September 2021 after he released a statement to 200 doctors expressing his concerns about giving Covid shots to children. He was called to a meeting, suspended immediately from all teaching responsibilities and fired from his position as of September 2021.
Many doctors have questioned the FDA’s motives, given that children suffer nearly zero morbidity and mortality from Covid infections.
Justine Trudeau stated he would continue to call out “unacceptable and hateful” views of those opposed to Covid mandates.
Ontario’s Health Minister, lawyer, Christine Elliott. informed the good people of Ontario that she instructed the College of Physicians and Surgeons to investigate any doctors who spoke out about the vaccines and perhaps taking away their licenses.
Profess Delores Cahill warned very early on of Cytokine Storm or immune priming or immune super-priming. The messenger RNA starts expressing the virus, then when it comes across a naturally circulating coronavirus, a month, a year or 2 years down the road, people get very, very quickly sick.
People should know, with RNA vaccines after you are vaccinated, for the rest of your life you will have a much higher death rate, as the children in the study did because you were vaccinated. when you inject the mRNA genes vaccine into your body, you bypass all natural immune response to prevent the virus. Your immune system sees the virus in your body as something that shouldn’t be there and mounts an immune response. The shocking thing is that normally your body can get rid of virus particles. When you inject it, the reason the mRNA is so deadly, is it is now expressing in your genes. It starts simulating the immune response from inside your body, and literally you can not get rid of it because the source of the viral protein you now have becomes like a genetically modified organism. You try to mount the exquisite antibodies to get rid of it, but you never can because it is now part of who you are. it is integrated. The people who get the vaccine will become genetically modified organism, that will be making a virus protein as well as their own human protein. The antibody response will now activate and realize that this vital protein is in every cell of your body. Antibodies will start attacking our cells and organs.
How many doctors and nurses are no longer allowed to practice in hospitals because they refused to get the vaccine? There is no doctor shortage, there is a shortage of common sense people at the top. We have too many fools who are making life and death decisions. And until someone steps in to save humanity……..

Your ‘Right To Feel Safe’ Versus My ‘Right To Feel Safe’
By Tom Knighton | 4:29 PM on December 06, 2023
Your ‘Right To Feel Safe’ Versus My ‘Right To Feel Safe’
Every so often, someone brings up their “right to feel safe.” They argue that our right to keep and bear arms infringes on their right to feel a certain kind of way.
Now, first, we need to acknowledge that this “right to feel safe” doesn’t actually exist. If it did, such a thing could be exploited to restrict, well, almost anything.
But some people persist in pushing this idea. They’re firmly convinced that they have a right to restrict the actions of others, even restrict a constitutionally protected right, all so they can feel “safe.”
This isn’t new. We’ve seen it for years and I think most of us have probably heard someone make that argument at some point or another.
Yet I’m not going to debate them anymore about whether the right exists or not. They’re not likely to listen to that argument, anyway, so why waste the oxygen?
Instead, I’m going to ask them one simple question: Why does your right to feel safe trump my right to feel safe?
See, by owning and carrying firearms, I feel safer than if I didn’t. I understand that criminals break the law, which means they’re likely to break any gun control regulation you care to put in place, much as they have all the other gun control laws already in place.
I also recognize that the police, despite their best efforts and intentions, often get to the scene of a crime just in time to draw a chalk outline around the body. When seconds count, help is just minutes away.
So, I don’t feel safe with restrictive gun control laws in place. Someone else might, but I don’t. In fact, I feel quite the opposite. I feel far less safe than I did without them.
Yet if one’s right to feel safe is adequate grounds to infringe on the rights of others, why is my right to feel safe secondary? Are people who use this argument to push gun control arguing that they are more important than me, so their feelings of safety are more important than mine?
After all, we’ve seen studies that argue 2.5 million people use a firearm defensively every year. That’s part of why I feel safer with my gun rights intact. The other part is just how often criminals get around gun control laws in the first place. We even have reason to understand that studies claiming gun laws work are garbage, thus undermining any argument meant to sway me from feeling this way.
In other words, I have reasons to feel this way. It’s not irrational or based on some supposedly flawed understanding of the world.
So again, why does someone else’s right to feel a certain kind of way trump my own?
The short answer is that it either shouldn’t or it doesn’t. There is no version of this where it can and should. There’s no argument that could be presented to the contrary, either.
The right to feel safe doesn’t exist, and some people should be glad it doesn’t, because if it did, I’d have a CIWS mounted to my roof right now, just to help me feel safer.

No White Faculty Allowed
At the University of Washington, civil rights laws have not stopped blatant racial discrimination in faculty hiring.

A recent internal investigation into faculty hiring at the University of Washington reveals the exhaustive efforts that universities make to discriminate against white job applicants. After the university’s Department of Psychology identified a white candidate as best qualified for a tenure-track professor position in early 2023, the department’s Diversity Advisory Committee pressured the hiring committee to re-rank candidates in accordance with the methodology laid out in an internal handbook titled “Promising Practices for Increasing Equity in Faculty Searches” so that a black woman would receive the job instead. This handbook, obtained by the National Association of Scholars, spells out how to exclude candidates of undesirable races and ensure that candidates of preferred races get hired.
The handbook sheds light on past discriminatory hiring practices in the psychology department. In the 2020–21 academic year, the department hired only BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) candidates for five tenure-track positions. Delighted by its success in excluding all white candidates, the department’s Diversity Advisory Committee commissioned the “Promising Practices” handbook as a case study documenting its past manipulation of the hiring process. The handbook served as a how-to manual in the 2022–2023 academic year, ensuring that a BIPOC candidate would be hired for the department’s only tenure-track professorship that year.
First, the handbook advises recruiters to “prepare for success” by developing a strategy

Gangs from South America use security jammers to break in to expensive homes across country: police
ByWXYZ Detroit
Thursday, December 7, 2023 9:04PM
DETROIT — Gangs from South America are breaking into multi-million dollar homes across the country, including metro Detroit, WXYZ reported.
Police said they are highly functional and well-trained.
A police official described the crews, which are believed to consist of four to six people, as highly functional and well-trained.
The thieves reportedly use a jammer to overcome wireless security systems that depend on WiFi to operate. The crews are all dressed in black, with backpacks, and gloves. They are non-confrontational and their goal is to get in and out of the homes quickly, police said.
At least 30 to 40 homes have been hit since September in the Detroit area. Thieves have gotten away with cash, jewelry and expensive handbags within minutes of breaking in.
Police departments in Michigan have formed a task force and urged home owners to have multiple layers of security.

The Guardians of Democracy: Democrats Move to Protect Democracy from Itself
Below is my column in the Hill on efforts to bar or limit voting in the primary and general presidential elections. What is so striking is how these distinctly anti-democratic actions are being taken in the name of democracy.
Here is the column:
Across news sites, Democrats are warning of the imminent death of democracy. Hillary Clinton has warned that a Trump victory would be the end of democracy. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow is warning of “executions.” Even actors like Robert DeNiro are predicting that this may be our very last democratic election.
Yet these harbingers of tyranny are increasingly pursuing the very course that will make their predictions come true. The Democratic Party is actively seeking to deny voters choices in this election, supposedly to save democracy.
Henry Ford once promised customers any color so long as it is black. Democrats are adopting the same approach to the election: You can have any candidate on the ballot, as long as it’s Joe Biden.
This week, the Executive Committee of the Florida Democratic Democracy told voters that they would not be allowed to vote against Biden. Even though he has opponents in the primary, the party leadership has ordered that only Biden will appear on the primary ballot.
And if you want to register your discontent with Biden with a write-in vote, forget about it. Under Florida law, if the party approves only one name, there will be no primary ballots at all. The party just called the election for Biden before a single vote has been cast.
This is not unprecedented. It happened with Barack Obama in 2012 and, on the Republican side, with George W. Bush in 2004. It was wrong then, and it is wrong now.
As Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) noted, “Americans would expect the absence of democracy in Tehran, not Tallahassee. Our mission as Democrats is to defeat authoritarians, not become them.”
In Iran, the mullahs routinely bar opposition candidates from ballots as “Guardians” of the b

Weimar America
A 1930s nightmare on the horizon?
December 8, 2023 by Victor Davis Hanson 10 Comments
Something eerie, something creepy, is happening in the world—and now in America as well. The dark mood is brought on by elite universities, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion industry, and massive immigration from illiberal nations and anti-Enlightenment societies.
At Hillcrest High School in Queens, New York, hundreds of students rioted on news that a single teacher in her private social media account had expressed support for Israel. Waving Palestinian flags, and screaming violent threats, the student mob rioted, destroyed school property, sought the teacher out and tried to crash into her classroom—before she was saved from violence by other teachers and an eventual police arrival.
The subtext was that the overwhelmingly minority students (whose school is ranked academically near the bottom among New York City schools) were acculturated to the racist reality that as the “oppressed” they were exempt from any punishment for hunting down their own teacher. As a Jewish (and thus white) “oppressive” supporter of Israel, she was reduced to, in the words an enthusiastic commenter on a Tik Tok video of the riot, a “cracker ass bitch.” And so the student pack tracked her down as if they were hunting an animal. The old Nazi youth gangs tried to kill Jews because they were not considered “white;” our new Nazis hunt them down because they allege that they are. The common denominator between the 1930s and 2023 is an unhinged hatred of Jews.
Hundreds of such incidents are now occurring on a daily basis—as the country is leaving its Weimar phase and heading at warp speed into normalizing Jew-hatred and worse. Instructors singled out Jewish students in classes at UC Davis and Stanford. Pro-Hamas students ripped down posters, swarmed public buildings, and disrupted traffic.
A pro-Israeli demonstrator in Los Angeles was hit on the head and killed by a pro-Palestinian university professor.
Jewish students were trapped in a Cooper Union university library surrounded by pro-Hamas demonstrators. At MIT, Jewish students were warned to keep away from particular areas of the campus deemed dangerous for them.
What would happen to a university president who warned black or Latino students to keep clear of areas where she could not guarantee their safety from other students?
A bankrupt media deserves much of the blame. They daily broadcast Hamas’s suspect casualty figures, as if that terrorist organization has ever been capable of speaking the truth.
The Western news regurgitated “500 dead at a Gaza hospital,” due to a supposedly deliberate Israel bombing. In fact, the hospital parking lot was hit by an errant Islamic Jihad missile intended to kill civilians in Israel.
No matter—few reporters apologized for spreading Hamas-fed misinformation, despite the previous Hamas lies that they never harmed civilians, that tunnels were not beneath hospital grounds, that they did not murder 1,200 Israelis; or their lies that Hamas gunmen do not rape, when they engaged in mass rape on October 7.
The media normalizes Hamas’s atrocities by treating it as if it were an ordinary government, not a murderous terrorist clique that decapitates civilians, takes children as hostages, and mutilates those it slaughters. That the terrorist organization has kidnapped at least ten American citizens and killed perhaps another 31 is lost on the “journalists,” many of them Americans who could care less about the fate of their fellow citizens.
The media fixates on the Israeli response to mass murder, but rarely the mass murder of 1,200 Israeli civilians that prompted the current war. During ceasefires do Israeli terrorists drive into Gaza cities, and shoot and kill innocent civilians—and then brag, as did Hamas recently, that such murdering will only increase?
Sometimes the anti-Semitic hatred reaches Orwellian levels of absurdity. A British reporter asked an Israeli official whether his country valued life less than Hamas did because it had agreed to Hamas’s demand to release three convicted terrorists in exchange for one Israeli captive. The media fawned over a released disfigured Gazan terrorist—without mentioning that her injuries came from a car bomb she exploded in hopes of killing Jews.
The media is further emboldened by the Biden administration. When asked about the outbreak of anti-Semitism across the U.S.—nearly 60 percent of hate crimes are committed against Jews, who make up 2.5 percent of the population—Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed them with the false claim that the White House “had not seen any credible threats” to Jews. And then she claimed that the real danger to American residents was Islamophobia and threats to Arab-Americans. Hate crime and interracial crime statistics do not support Jean-Pierre’s assertions, which prompts the question of why she made them in the first place.
Note that almost all the violence in demonstrations over the current war comes from the pro-Hamas side that shouts “river to the sea” genocidal threats, swarms the Capitol rotunda and the White House wall, disrupts traffic, occupies bridges at peak traffic, defaces private and public property, shouts down speakers on campus, harasses passers-by, and often battles the police. One wonders whether, should the U.S. military be forced to try to rescue American captives, the demonstrators would cheer for the American troops or Hamas hostage-takers.
Abroad, the world has gone even crazier.
The United Nations has appointed Iran—a theocratic, terrorist-supporting government that kills dissidents and takes hostages—as the chair nation of the UN Human Rights Council Social Forum. What a cruel joke.
But what would one expect from the UN when its secretary-general, António Manuel de Oliveira Guterres, a former Portuguese socialist politician, condemns the Israeli response to October 7, but rarely, if ever, the Hamas mass killing of civilians that prompted it. Right after the mass killing Guterres opined, “The attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum.” According to the secretary-general’s logic, I suppose, Pearl Harbor, the 1939 Nazi invasion of Poland, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine did not happen in a vacuum either.
When told that an Irish citizen hostage was freed by Hamas, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar declared that the “lost” child was finally “found.” In other words, he wished to hide the obvious fact that a terrorist organization had kidnapped an Irish citizen child, held her hostage for 50 days, and released her only when Israel gave up convicted terrorists to obtain her release.
Our domestic political leadership is not helping the situation.
Just days after October 7, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, along with the foreign minister of the now often hostile Turkish government, were calling for a cease-fire to prevent an Israeli response.
When the Islamic Jihad rocket aimed at Israeli cities went off course and damaged a Gaza hospital (leading to the fake story that Israel bombed the hospital), President Biden joked, “You got to learn to shoot straight.” Did Biden mean that, had the terrorists only launched a successful terrorist rocket into Jewish neighborhoods, there would have been no ensuing controversies?
Biden later apologized for doubting fatality figures provided by the Gaza Health Ministry, which is controlled by Hamas—a terrorist organization that has lied about the hospital “bombing,” denied it had tunnels under hospitals, denied that it had engaged in mass rape in Israel, and has supplied no proof of its civilian casualty numbers. Has Hamas released figures of how many of its terrorists were killed, and does it separate those numbers from lost “civilians?” And so are there really vast new cemeteries in Gaza to handle the 15,000 graves for those who, Hamas asserts, were killed?
What explains the collective madness?
For the last 40 years, while Western leftists have naively supported Palestinian terrorists, their governments have appeased terrorist-supporting Middle Eastern governments for very practical reasons. The old subtext to such mollification was that 500-million irate Arab Muslims, and a Middle East with 40 percent of the world’s oil reserves, in realist terms, simply argued against the interests of 10 million Israelis.
But now there are two new, venomous elements in the matrix.
One is that the racist DEI industry assumes that all intersectional nonwhite communities are victims of white privilege and supremacy. Therefore, as permanently oppressed, they are declared incapable of being racist themselves. And so they can harass with impunity the supposed victimizers—in this case American Jews, who are declared culpable whites.
So the oppressed, according to the DEI bible, cannot be anti-Semitic, though many certainly are. And they apparently cannot be held accountable for their hatred or frequent violence.
Secondly, in the last two decades there has been an epidemic of immigration into Western nations from the Middle East. In often-divided democracies like ours, politicians seek to appease as many pressure groups as possible, whether citizen voters or merely resident demonstrators, to acquire and maintain power.
Such pro-Hamas demonstrators, rah-rahing from a free, prosperous, and secure West, expect no rebuke for their obvious hypocrisy in cheering on an autocratic, dictatorial Hamas that has wrecked the economy of Gaza, shoots dissidents, and allows no free expression. And Middle Eastern guests and immigrants are never reminded that their very demonstrations are predicated on not being physically present in their homelands, where they might be shot for what they say and do freely in the West.
We are on a trajectory similar to that of 1930s Germany.
Every time a student is cornered, harassed, or threatened; a high school mob tries to swarm and harm a teacher; a government spokesperson dismisses such hatred; or American soldiers are targeted by Iranian-fed terrorist organizations; the madness, racism, and anti-Semitism will increase—until it reaches a saturation point of abject violence in our streets.
Once a society mainstreams the values of thuggish brownshirts, and ignores their “from the river to the sea” eliminationist chants and screams of “beat the f—king Jew,” then the next emboldened step is foreordained.
True, most Americans were appalled by October 7 and accept that every nation has the right to defend itself from terrorist killers. Most Americans deplore vicious demonstrators and their calls for violence on behalf of the Hamas death cult. And most Americans want their President to demand the release of American hostages and to deter Iranian-backed terrorists who attack U.S. military personnel in the region.
But unless the public demands that their universities enforce on campus the Bill of Rights and the right to move freely in safety, that police enforce laws against mob violence on America’s streets and in our schools, and that the United States stops greenlighting mass immigration from anti-Western nations and extending student visas to residents of anti-American, terrorist-supporting, and autocratic Middle East regimes, then in suicidal fashion we are headed for a 1930s nightmare.

New Mexico Complaints Against Meta and Mark Zuckerberg Reveal Disturbing Development — Shows Sex Predators Used “PIZZA” to Hide Their Criminal Activities on Facebook and Instagram (GRAPHIC PHOTOS)
by Jim H?ft Dec. 8, 2023 2:40 pm110 Comments
In a chilling revelation, New Mexico authorities have uncovered a series of communications among sex predators operating within the state, utilizing the seemingly innocuous term “PIZZA” as a code word to obscure their illicit activities.
The Gateway Pundit reported that the New Mexico Democrat Attorney General Raúl Torrez took decisive action against tech giant Meta Platforms, Inc., its CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and associated entities, including Instagram, LLC, and Facebook Holdings, LLC.
The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, represents a bold effort to curb the exploitation of children on social media platforms.
“Our investigation into Meta’s social media platforms demonstrates that they are not safe spaces for children but rather prime locations for predators to trade child pornography and solicit minors for sex,” Attorney General Torrez said in a statement.
“As a career prosecutor who specialized in internet crimes against children, I am committed to using every available tool to put an end to these horrific practices and I will hold companies — and their executives — accountable whenever they put profits ahead of children’s safety,” he added.
During the past several months, the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office launched an undercover operation posing as minors under 14 on Meta’s platforms. This sting operation led to disturbing findings, where it was discovered that:
The Attorney General’s office has released selectively redacted graphic content from their investigation, showing only those parts necessary to convey the seriousness of the situation while ensuring that the privacy and dignity of victims are fully respected.
Recent findings have exposed a network of Instagram accounts purportedly offering illicit means to acquire or exchange Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and Child Sexual Exploitation Content (CSEC).
Investigations reveal that these accounts provide instructions to move conversations to offline mediums such as WhatsApp or Telegram, platforms that offer end-to-end encryption and are beyond the reach of routine monitoring.
According to the complaint, “A search for ‘All New Kids Links Available’ on Instagram, for example, yielded dozens of options for CSAM. Notably, ‘cheese pizza,’ with its shared initials, is known to be a proxy for child pornography.”
“The profile picture in Figure 4 (redacted here) showed two young girls in an image that suggested they were engaged in sexual activity,” the complaint added.

REVEALED: Banks Filed 6 Suspicious Activity Reports Flagging Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware Home Address
by Cristina Laila Dec. 8, 2023 3:20 pm16 Comments
Senator Ron Johnson (WI) said Thursday evening that banks filed at least 6 suspicious activity reports (SARS) flagging Joe Biden’s home address.
“There’d be so much activity coming into his address, in this case, Hunter Biden’s businesses, that he obviously would have to be aware,” Johnson said of Joe Biden. “So, again, I just use the word obvious, It has been so obvious for so long, that Biden Inc. is a corrupt enterprise. And that this president is corrupt, that he is compromised,” Senator Johnson said Thursday night on Just The News, No Noise show.
According to Senate documents, SARS reported about $12 million in wires and transactions which used Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware address.
“We found six of the Treasury reports on Hunter Biden, listing his suspicious activities,” Johnson told Just The News. “The money flows in those reports are over $12 million. Now, there might be double counting in there, you just don’t really know exactly what the activity is. These reports are really meant to obviously raise awareness to prompt further investigation, which of course this Department of Justice, FBI, I don’t think did an honest job of doing.

Bill Burr: Liberals Are “Fucking Stupid” to Have Turned Trump Into a Martyr
Paul Joseph Watson
7th December 2023
Comedian Bill Burr told talk show host Jimmy Kimmel that liberals are “fucking stupid” to have turned Trump into a martyr and that “he’s coming back” for revenge.
Burr made the comments in the context of saying how he’d teach his kids about narcissists and sociopaths.
“If you wanna see a great case on narcissism, liberals are so fucking stupid the way they handled Trump – you should shut up!” said Burr, adding “he’s a narcissist – neutral energy – neutral.”
Kimmel, who had one of the most severe cases of Trump derangement syndrome for years, wondered if the Donald would “go away” if leftists ignored him.
Burr suggested that Trump was fading away until “you idiot liberals…indicted him and now he’s a martyr,” adding, “He’s coming back, Jimmy! He’s coming back! It’s gonna be great for comedy – he’s coming back!”
The comedian went on to assert that he wanted to vote for someone in their 40’s for president who would have to “live with their decisions.”
“With any luck, they’ll both die of natural causes before the election and maybe you could get somebody that still has something to live for,” said Burr, referring to Biden and Trump.
Kimmel then tried to move the show on quickly while Burr exclaimed, “Wait a minute!”
Maybe Burr should give the same advice to his own wife, who very much appears to be suffering from her own clinical case of Trump derangement syndrome too.

CAIR director says he was ‘happy’ to witness Oct. 7 attacks, Israel ‘does not have right to self-defense’
One of the top executives of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said he was “happy” to witness the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel.
Nihad Awad, executive director and co-founder of CAIR, expressed his feelings on the terrorist attack at the 16th Annual Convention for Palestine in the U.S. on Nov. 24.
“The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege — the walls of the concentration camp — on Oct. 7,” said Awad. “And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their land that they were not free to walk in.”

His remarks are made during Hanukkah candle lighting with troops of the Border Defense Corps’ Caracal Battalion — a mixed-gender light infantry unit — and Armored Corps on the Gaza Border.
“It is impossible to ignore the strong, prominent, and successful female presence [in the war]. Women have not really fought in the IDF since 1948, this is the first time this has happened, after 75 years, in massive fighting,” he says to the troops. “The results are very impressive.”
“I see the signs that indicate [Hamas] is beginning to break in Gaza. You all play a key role in this matter,” he adds.

Trump Warns Outcome of His Trial Could Be Devastating for New York
by Michael Schwarz, The Western Journal Dec. 8, 2023 7:00 pm57 Comments
As usual, former President Donald Trump had it right on principle. At the same time, however — for reasons he probably would acknowledge — his correct assertion might not have the consequences we would otherwise assume.
In comments during a break in his civil fraud trial Thursday in New York City, Trump warned that his ongoing persecution at the hands of New York state Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron and Attorney General Letitia James could have a chilling effect on other businesses in the state.
“Businesses are watching this case. No business will go back into New York. No business will, frankly, stay in New York. A lot of businesses are talking about leaving New York because of this action. This is a very serious action,” the former president said.
Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of the extremely anti-Trump MeidasTouch.com, shared the clip online Thursday night.
“Trump says all businesses in NY will leave the state if he loses his case,” Filipkowski said in the X post.
In sum, James has argued that the GOP’s leading 2024 presidential candidate and his Trump Organization fraudulently inflated the values of their properties in order to secure financial advantages from banks and insurance companies.
In September — in perhaps the most stupendously absurd judicial ruling of our lifetime — Engoron valued the Trump Organization’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, at a hilariously low $18 million.
The attorney general has sought $250 million in penalties and a ban on Trump doing business in New York.
Many observers — including former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy — have noted that the James-Engoron case has no alleged victims. No one complained. Thus, Trump and the Trump Organization defrauded no one.
In a larger sense, however, the case’s details have little relevance.
Describing those details, in fact, feels a bit like evaluating a “case” that came before Roland Freisler, president of the Third Reich’s ironically named “People’s Court” from 1942 to 1945.
Everyone knew that Freisler would do what his fellow Nazis wanted. So they knew the trial’s outcome in advance, but they pretended otherwise.
We are in the same position here. After all, James and Engoron have made no effort to hide the fact that they suffer from Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome. In their deluded minds, serving justice means harming Trump. The regime demands it, and everyone knows it.
Thus, we return to the former president’s claim that the James-Engoron farce will compel New York businesses to consider leaving the state.
On one hand, of course, Trump had it right. In principle, no business could operate with confidence under the looming threat of deranged actors like James and Engoron.
Furthermore, Trump had every reason to sound the alarm for other business owners. “This could happen to you, too” constitutes an age-old appeal from current to future victims of tyranny.
On the other hand, his correct assertion might not matter — for two reasons.
First — and sadly — that desperate appeal nearly always falls on deaf ears. History shows that businesses conform to regimes, not the other way round.
In fact, we could multiply examples of well-placed businessmen who profited from totalitarianism. Only in rare cases — Nazi Germany had few Oskar Schindlers — did they sacrifice their interests for the sake of justice.
Of course, one could argue that Trump appealed not to abstract justice but to those very interests.
In that case, the prospect of businesses fleeing New York appears even less likely, for it leads to the second reason Trump’s assertion might not matter.
The former president has emerged as a figure of world-historical significance. He has exposed U.S. and global elites as authoritarian lunatics, and they loathe him for it. No one in all of American history can claim that kind of legacy.
Thus, the James-Engoron case might not affect other New York businesses because those businesses’ leaders lack Trump’s transcendent significance.
The former president has shown the courage to challenge evildoers. Others have not, so the regime will leave them to tend to their pecuniary interests. They do not see Trump’s fate as their own.
In principle, menacing regimes should terrify businesses.
In practice, however, it has not always worked that way.
