  1. Personally, I think when the Franfurt School trumped economic Marxism and put culture in its crosshairs it was a mutant-like leap forward in the evolution of this collectivist mind poison. Imagine where it will go with the help of artificial intelligence? We are fast coming to the point where we can trust only that which stands before us, because reality in the virtual world is a plaything for conmen. Next thing you know there will be people worshipping an amalgum of AI and Marxism as if it’s a new religion.

    Marx may have been trumped by his acolytes’ refinement, but they could not have done it without subscribing to his enduring desire for the self-hating destruction of everything.

    When we view Marx as a Satan-worshipper, his ideology immediately sheds its illusion of depth to become much more clearly a fight between good and evil. He must have been truly self-loathing to think his way, and hated all humanity, too.

    Not to seem trite or overly simplistic, but teenagers find it cool to be gothic and nihilistic. Was Marx an immature arrested adolescent, but with the intellect to build a church around himself? He sure tried, and has killed a few hundred million people with what he built. Yes, built.

    Ironically, he fervently believed in the destruction of everything. If everything necessarily includes his own twisted ideology, then if alive today he would have no choice but to regard himself as an abject failure.

    In the final analysis maybe he is, simply, history’s biggest asshole. But, then, he has too much competition for us to say this definitively.

    Massachusetts House Unanimously Passes Bill to Allow Women to Sell Their Babies to Highest Bidder

    The Massachusetts House has unanimously passed a bill that would allow women to sell their babies to the highest bidder.

    The bill passed under the guise of LGBTQ rights.

    Under the state’s current laws, paid and traditional surrogacy is permitted — but for traditional surrogacy, the would-be “parents” must adopt the baby and, therefore, pass a background check. Additionally, at least one of the parents must be related to the infant.

    Live Action explains:

    However, adoption protects children from abuse due to the regulations that are involved in the process. There is research on the negative outcomes for children who live with non-biologically related parental figures. One study found, “In studies across a wide range of cultures… [t]he single best predictor of child abuse is the presence of a stepparent in the home. In fact, the risk of even unintentional deaths, such as drowning, is greater in stepfamilies than in intact or single-parent families.”

    Background checks exist in the adoption process to protect children from being placed in dangerous homes.

    In a recent case, Adam Stafford King was arrested this year for allegedly planning to sexually abuse the baby boy he and his partner were expecting via surrogate. Background checks that are not required in surrogacy could have stopped Mark Newton and Peter Truong from sexually abusing a boy they paid a Russian woman to carry in 2005. Police believe they wanted to have a child “for the sole purpose of exploitation.” The boy’s abuse began just days after he was born and video shows Newton abusing him less than two weeks after his birth. The men traveled the world for more than six years, selling the boy for sex with at least eight men, recording the abuse, and uploading the footage to the “Boy Lovers Network.”

    The bill would also change the description of “parenthood,” under the law from being based on biology or adoption to a “person’s intent to be a parent of a child.”

    The change will remove all mentions of mothers and fathers from parentage law and replace them with gender-neutral terms.

    The Federalist reports:

    Surrogacy is an inherently exploitative practice. It commodifies women and treats children as products. This specific bill enables particularly extreme arrangements. Most commercial surrogacy laws and surrogacy agencies restrict contracts to cases where the woman carrying the child is not genetically related to the child. Under genetic surrogacy arrangements, sanctioned by this bill, a woman would be allowed to accept money in exchange for her biological child.

    In any other circumstance, if a woman accepts money in exchange for handing over her parental claim on her child, she has engaged in baby-selling. Under this bill, she can do exactly that if she has secured a valid surrogacy contract, even if she makes the arrangement with the purchasing parents after she has become pregnant, providing the contract is validated before the child is born.

    Under H. 4672, the following would be perfectly legal: a woman undergoes the physical and mental health screenings required to become a surrogate, becomes pregnant via sperm from a sperm bank, and then posts to a surrogacy forum or social media group that she is not only available as a surrogate but already pregnant.

    She could then choose to “match” with the couple willing to pay the highest “payment of consideration,” essentially auctioning off her child. As long as the surrogacy agreement meets the requirements outlined in the bill, it could be validated by a court and viewed as not only permissible but legally binding. However, if that same woman became pregnant and decided to make an agreement with a couple to adopt her child, while insisting that she be paid for placing her child with them, she would be prosecuted for baby selling.

    The bill is now heading to the state senate for consideration.

    Remember a classic way to instill dictatorship is to make living so dangerous the people are willing to sell their freedom for the illusion of safety.

    The price of freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time, and with utter recklessness.

    Hunter Biden Personifies DOJ’s Two Tiers of Justice

    It can be problematic to compare the sentence one criminal defendant receives to another. A judge has a wide variety of mitigating and aggravating factors to consider before passing sentence, such as the defendant’s criminal history, whether they’ve shown contrition and the facts of the crime itself. A prison term that may appear unfair to some may actually be well within the guidelines.

    That said, those looking for a near perfect comparison to Hunter Biden’s criminal gun charges need look no further than The United States of America v. Miracle Star Vaughn. The two cases are eerily similar, but their outcomes will likely be lightyears apart, because Hunter Biden only gets the top tier of the DOJ’s two tiers of justice.

    Last year, Vaughn pleaded guilty to making false statements during the purchase of firearms. Like Hunter Biden, she concealed her drug addiction on an ATF Form 4473 when asked, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”

    “During the firearms purchases, Vaughn provided false information regarding her address and her drug use,” a Justice Department press release stated at the time.

    The ATF alleged that Vaughn, then 27 and living in North Liberty, Iowa, purchased seven handguns over an 18-month period and that two of the weapons ended up in the hands of convicted felons. Vaughn, like Hunter Biden, had no criminal history at the time of her firearm purchases.

    Vaughn pleaded guilty to making false statements on the 4473. She showed regret and admitted her guilt during the elocution, and her plea saved the justice system a great deal of time and effort.

    On April 26, 2023, a federal judge in Davenport, Iowa sentenced Vaughn to 366 days – 12 months and a wakeup – in a federal prison. Her prison term ended two months ago, and Vaughn must now complete three years of supervised release.

    After a federal judge in Wilmington, Delaware, famously scuttled Hunter Biden’s sweeping plea agreement, which would have wiped clean an entire slate of alleged crimes and even immunized him from future badness, the First Son went to trial charged with three felonies: two counts of making false statements during a firearm purchase, and one count of possessing a firearm while addicted to drugs. The added security alone placed a huge burden on the Court. Hunter Biden never testified, and it took the jury less than three hours to find him guilty on all counts.

    Pundits, politicians, and a bevy of news actors all say he will never serve a single day behind the wire.

    Anti-Israeli Man on NYC Subway Illustrates Issues with City’s Gun Laws
    By Tom Knighton | 8:30 AM | June 16, 2024

    After being spanked by the Supreme Court in the Bruen decision, the state of New York and New York City itself went on a bit of a bender, passing any and every gun control law they could think of.

    In New York City, they named a bunch of places as “sensitive” places and thus were gun-free zones.

    Bruen said they could do it, though I think they got a little ridiculous with it.

    One place they decided people shouldn’t carry guns is on the subway. Apparently, they figure no one would ever need a gun on the subway. If they did, it was the dumbest thing they could have figured, but this is New York City, so…

    A prime illustration of this happened earlier this week. It didn’t quite get to the point where someone needed a gun, but the pucker factor was very real when an anti-Israeli protestor hopped on the subway car.

    Masked anti-Israel protesters took over a New York City subway car on Monday and demanded to know if there were any “Zionists” on the train — then warned them: ‘This is your chance to get out.”

    The sickening moment came after protesters rallied in Union Square Park in Manhattan and held up a banner that read “Long live October 7.”

    One antisemitic demonstrator at the event yelled that he wished “Hitler was still here” to “wipe out” the Jews.

    On the packed subway Monday, one man told a group of masked and keffiyeh-clad protesters, “Repeat after me” — then said: “Raise your hand if you’re a Zionist.”

    The other protesters dutifully echoed him.

    Then he said, “This is your chance to get out.”

    Now, imagine you’re a Jewish person sitting on that subway car. You’ve seen the antisemitic rhetoric being bandied about by these people. You’ve seen them chant “from the river to the sea” and know they would kill every Jewish man, woman, and child in Israel.

    Unfortunately for you, they’re now in a subway car demanding that you identify yourself as a zionist for thinking that Israel has a right to exist and being told this is your chance to exit the subway…where more of his antisemitic friends are.

    I don’t know about you, but I’d want to have the option to carry a gun in that moment.

    Sure, it might not turn violent, but if it does, there’s a really good chance you’re not making it out of there alive. You can and will die at the hands of a violent mob because, frankly, there’s nothing you can do except bleed.

    A gun, however, would allow you to at least try to defend yourself. It’s presence may defuse the situation enough that you can escape. It may cause the ringleaders to pause for a moment and decide that while they want to kill you, they don’t want that more than they want to live.

    But New York City’s gun control laws made that impossible to do lawfully. Even if you have a carry permit, you can’t carry on the subway lawfully. The police are supposedly around to protect you, but where were they went this tool decided to try and deny lawfully acting people the right to ride on public transportation? Nowhere.

    Fortunately, we’re talking about what could have happened. I’m sincerely glad for that. No one got hurt, though I have no doubt that some people were more than a little concerned at the time.

    But no one should have to live in fear.

  6. BIDENOMICS: Iconic Tupperware Company to Close Its Last U.S. Factory – Will Move All Production to Mexico
    by Ben Kew Jun. 16, 2024 10:20 am186 Comments

    Tupperware has confirmed that it will be closing its only American factory later this year.

    The company, which has over 10,000 employees worldwide, will shut down its last production facility located in Hemingway, South Carolina, resulting in around 150 job losses between from September through till January.

    Manufacturing operations will be outsourced to Tupperware’s plant in Lerma, Mexico, which already handles the majority of production for the US and Canadian markets, according to company statements to the media.

    Primarily recognized for its plastic food storage containers, Tupperware was founded in 1946 by Earl Tupper and was credited with revolutionizing food storage with its airtight sealing system.

    Two migrants carjacked an off-duty NYPD officer at gunpoint on Friday evening.

    The carjacking took place in Harlem around 11:30 p.m. at West 146 Street and Bradhurst Avenue.

    The migrants are believed to be Venezuelan and associated with a gang from the South American country.

    One of the perpetrators was armed with a fully automatic pistol. The other knocked the officer’s gun out of his hand and took it before demanding his keys.

    According to a report from the New York Post, the duo then jumped into the officer’s vehicle and fled the scene.

  8. Biden commits U.S. taxpayers to 10 years of ‘blank check’ funding of war in Ukraine: War’s ‘dark side’ includes organ harvesting and child sex trafficking

    Biden commits U.S. taxpayers to 10 years of ‘blank check’ funding of war in Ukraine: War’s ‘dark side’ includes organ harvesting and child sex trafficking
    Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Zelensky are planning to sign a deal for long-term US military assistance for Ukraine, a country whose government we now know is involved in the trafficking of children for sex and harvesting the organs of its own soldiers for profit.

    If that sounds too sensational to be true, read on. The evidence is hiding in plain sight. See post below from X, and I will provide a video later in this article that contains more proof of what’s really going on in Ukraine. It will turn your stomach.

    But back to Biden’s filthy deal with the devil. The deal commits U.S. taxpayers — we the people — to 10 years of arming and training the Ukrainian military, and feeds the military-industrial complex that holds sway over the majority of our elected members of Congress in both parties.

    There is one small kernel of good news: Because the deal is a so-called “executive agreement” and not a formal treaty, it can be undone by future American presidents.

    CNN previewed the deal, reporting:

    “An annex in the agreement will lay out how the Biden administration plans to work with Congress on the implementation of the security commitments, specifically the long-term funding that will be needed to support Ukraine’s defense.”

    So, we taxpayers are basically underwriting the defense of a foreign regime. I wonder what our Founding Fathers would think about that?

    White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that the US “will continue to be right up front and clear” at the G7, and that Washington “will take bold steps to show Mr. Putin that time is not on his side and that he cannot outlast us, as we support Ukraine’s fight for freedom.”

    Let’s call it what it is: A blank-check commitment to a corrupt foreign government that has completely obliterated the freedom of the Ukrainian people. Elections have been canceled. Media outlets and churches that voice opposition to the war have been closed, young and middle-aged men are being kidnapped and sent to die at the front. How is this freedom?

    But the Western corporate media thinks this is great. They don’t even question it.

    Watch this breathless report (below) from a very excited ABC News reporter, whose only lament is that the deal could be canceled by a future President Donald Trump.

    She could hardly contain her excitement. Ten years worth of transfers of hard-earned U.S. tax dollars to prop up an illegitimate dictatorship in Ukraine. Zelensky has canceled elections and is serving beyond the scope of his term in office, and our tax dollars are paying not only him but his military and the pensions of his bureaucrats. I wonder how many Americans are even aware of that, or how many are aware of the child sex trafficking, organ harvesting, biolabs, and other scandalous activities going on in Ukraine.

    Don’t believe me? Check out the report below from former Fox News reporter Clayton Morris on the “dark side” of the war in Ukraine.
