In Loco Parentis Gone Loco

Author and conservative commentator Peachy Keenan is sick and tired of yesterday’s soccer mom being treated as today’s “domestic extremist” in public discourse by media gatekeepers and government officials alike—and all the while parents are sheepishly and too easily abdicating their natural role as captains and defenders of the household.

“They like to make us, the normal people, the moms and dads of America into extremists. But if you look around it’s pretty easy to see who the real extremists are,” Keenan told Harris Faulkner on Fox prime time Tuesday night.

Ukraine, Nazis, Spooks & BS Propaganda

Ukraine

First There Were Neo-Nazis, Then There Were No Nazis, Then There Were

…serving as a New York Times correspondent these days cannot be easy. You have to convey utter nonsense to your readers while maintaining a straight face and a serious demeanor…

You have to suggest the Russians may have exploded a drone over the Kremlin, that they may have blown up their own gas pipeline, that their president is an out-of-touch psychotic, that their soldiers in Ukraine are drunkards using faulty equipment, that they attack with “human hordes” (Orientalism, anyone?) and on and on – all the while affecting the gravitas once associated with the traditional “Timesman.” You try it sometime.

I am reminded of that pithy passage in Daniel Boorstin’s regrettably overlooked book, The Image.

“The reporter’s task,” Boorstin wrote in 1962, “is to find a way of weaving these threads of unreality into a fabric that the reader will not recognize as entirely unreal.”

Boorstin reflected on America’s resort to imagery, illusion, and distortion as Washington geared up its gruesome follies in Vietnam. The reporter’s task is a whole lot harder now, given how much farther we have wandered into illusion and distortion since Boorstin’s day.  (More)

State Department Pleads Fifth When Asked About American Detained in Ukraine

https://www.zerohedge.com/…/state-department-pleads…

American YouTuber and columnist Gonzalo Lira was arrested in Ukraine at the start of May because he “publicly justified” the Russian invasion, according to a press release by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). The statement says that Lira “has the citizenship of one of the countries of Latin America” but omits that he is also California-born U.S. citizen.

Lira is a resident of Kharkiv, Ukraine and was an outspoken critic of the nation’s President Volodymyr Zelensky. Lira has written financial columns, published in Business Insider and even here at ZeroHedge. His Twitter account is still up, and a brief look reveals that — whether you agree with him or not on all stances — his opinions are largely in line with much of the American right. The SBU claimed to have confiscated “mobile phones and a computer with evidence of illegal activity” from Lira’s apartment but no such evidence was made public.

Lira has been charged under sections 2 and 3 of Article 436-2 of Ukraine’s criminal code, which was augmented at the start of the invasion to criminalize the “distribution of materials” that justify Russia’s actions in Ukraine going back to 2014. The law specifically outlaws portraying any military dispute “financed by [the] Russian Federation” in Ukraine as an “internal civil conflict,” a law The New York Times and Wired Magazine are in violation of. 

 

The Ukrainian government has frequently claimed that the violent conflicts in the Donbas region — which killed over 10,000 people between 2014 and 2020 — were financed and armed by the Russians. However, a former NATO official in charge of investigating arms shipments into the Donbas from 2014 to 2018 found that “there were no deliveries of weapons and military equipment from Russia” and instead that most arms were smuggled by defecting Ukrainian soldiers. This official could have been imprisoned under Article 436-2 as well.

Lira faces up to 13 years in prison if he is convicted of both charges.

Of course, American journalists are not as indignant over Lira’s arrest as they are over that of Evan Gershkovich, the WSJ reporter being detained in Russia. Federal Reserve minion Nick Timairos did not change his Twitter profile to signal “solidarity” with Lira.

Biden did not praise Lira’s “absolute courage” for speaking against the regime which he lived under nor does it appear the administration has any intent of negotiating his release, two actions it has taken on behalf of Gershkovich.

Daily Beast was the sole mainstream outlet to cover Lira and only did so to slander him.

Each of these individuals was imprisoned for speech and speech alone. Holding a principle in favor of freedom of expression would require standing up for these writers equally. Given the leverage we have over Ukraine, securing the release of Lira would not take so much as a phone call.

Stil, when asked about whether the Biden State Department was aware of Lira’s arrest and if they are working to get him freed, newly appointed spokesperson Mathew Miller said the department is aware of the matter but went no further:

Tucker Carlson Emerges on Twitter to Deliver Monologue

| Last Refuge |  Comments

.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is locked in a contract dispute with his former network who took him off the air, but continues to enforce the contract he signed with them.  As the contract battle wages, and while litigation with the network continues, Carlson is limited in his options for platform broadcast.

As a result, Tucker Carlson’s personal Twitter account which existed prior to his Fox contract and is not subject to the terms and agreements, remains an outlet for him to use while not violating his non-compete clause.  Almost all other platforms represent what would be considered online competition to Fox Digital, so broadcasting a new show on any of those digital platforms would represent a potential legal issue and not an option. {Direct Rumble Link}

Tonight, Tucker Carlson aired a 10-minute monologue, what he calls “episode 1” from his Twitter account. While Tucker does not financially benefit from the Twitter platform, for the social media owner Elon Musk the broadcast represents much needed content oxygen. Tucker states at the end of his monologue that if Twitter suppresses or uses their internal fact-check mechanism known as ‘Community Notes‘ to control his content, he will exit the platform. WATCH: 

 

(Reuters) […] Ukraine and Russia blame each other for the collapse of the massive dam on Tuesday, which sent floodwaters across a swathe of the war zone and forced thousands to flee.  Ukraine said Russia committed a deliberate war crime in blowing up the Soviet-era Nova Kakhovka dam, which powered a hydroelectric station. The Kremlin blamed Ukraine, saying it was trying to distract from the launch of a major counteroffensive Moscow says is faltering. (more)

Elon Musk, who not coincidentally entered an ideological alignment with Fox News CEO Rupert Murdoch on behalf of Ron DeSantis, has a vested financial interest in making sure his Community Notes police do not attach warnings and citations to the “controversial” dialogue of Carlson.  While there appears to be an ongoing CN notes war in the background, so far the Musk administrators have been able to keep the platform control agents from impeding the broadcast.

DO PEDOPHILES RULE OUR WORLD?

I won’t hold my breath, but the effort is commendable.

PEDOPHILES RULE OUR WORLD: Elites who rule our world also control all the major Pedophile rings in the world with the assistance of the CIA. Presidents, Senators, Congressmen, Royal Bloodlines, Actors, Elites are all involved in the child sex trafficking of 2 million children. Former Veteran Central Intelligence Officer (CIA) Whistleblower confirms the existence of a global Elite Pedophile ring operating behind the scenes at the highest levels in our society. Jeffrey Epstein a convicted known child sex trafficking criminal had dealings with the people listed below, there are over 2000 names, this is just a few. Many of these people engaged in child sex trafficking or were engaged in a blackmail operation and pedophilia. The Royal Family, Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton 26 flight trips, Hillary Clinton, Ehud Barak, former Israeli prime minister, Leon Botstein, president of Bard College, William Burns, CIA director, Noam Chomsky, Terje Rød-Larsen, noted ex-diplomat, Joshua Cooper Ramo, a FedEx board member, Ariane de Rothschild, chairwoman of Edmond de Rothschild Group. Goldman Sachs general counsel, Lawrence Summers, Alan Dershowitz, Emmy Taylor, Sarah Kellen, Eva Dubin, Glen Dubin, Jean Luc Brunel, Nadia Marcinkova, Marvin Minsky, Henry Jarecki, Naomi Campbell, Ron Eppinger, Stephen Hawking, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker. Kathryn Ruemmler was the former White House counsel under President Barack Obama who reportedly had dozens of meetings with Epstein after her White House service. John Podesta Email: “I think Obama spent about $65,000 of the taxpayer money flying in pizza/dogs from Chicago for a private party at the White House not long ago, assume we are using the same channels?” What is Pizzagate? Find out the truth from an award winning author and 20 year professional journalist who investigated the deep dark secrets of the evil pedophile child sex trafficking world involved in the rape, torture and trafficking of innocent children. Why hasn’t the FBI or the Department of Justice investigated or arrested any of the people involved with Jeffrey Epstein? Because this Elite Pedophile child sex trafficking criminal enterprise is at the highest level of our society. It is up to us the people and the local law enforcement agencies to save these children. Child sex trafficking is the fastest growing international crime network the word has ever seen. It has already passed the illegal arms trade and soon it is going to pass the drug trade, because you can only sell a bag of cocaine one time, but a child you can sell five to ten times a day. Children are the most vulnerable, loving and trusting of all human beings and evil is taking advantage of this. We must destroy this Elite Pedophile ring and bring them to justice. It is our duty as humanity to share this important truth with the world and protect our innocent children from these predators at all costs.

Warning: Islam Sets its Sight on Japan

Amy Mek

The religious landscape in Japan is witnessing a disruptive and dangerous shift, primarily attributed to the increasing number of migrants from Islamic states and intermarriage between Muslims and Japanese citizens.

The religious landscape in Japan is witnessing a disruptive and dangerous shift, primarily attributed to the increasing number of migrants from Islamic states and intermarriage between Muslims and Japanese citizens. Amidst the burgeoning Muslim population in Japan, a confluence of challenges and tensions emerges, driven by the inherent incompatibility between Islam and the indigenous Shinto religion. With Islam’s unwavering assertion of monotheism, it collides head-on with the polytheistic and animistic fabric of Shinto, erecting formidable barriers to harmonious coexistence. Islam’s unyielding stance dictates the exclusion of any rival source of divinity or religious authority. This tension leaves no room for compromise or accommodation beyond the realm of Mohammad and Allah. Continue reading Warning: Islam Sets its Sight on Japan

The FBI is rotten to the core

All the three-letter agencies in the US are hopelessly corrupt.

Comey Warns Trump Might Use the Constitution Against Him and His Corrupt Friends

t is now well established that the FBI has become thoroughly and possibly irreparably corrupt and politicized, serving as a thuggish arm of the Leftist establishment rather than any kind of law enforcement agency. Its decline accelerated during the tenure of the intensely partisan Leftist apparatchik James Comey as FBI director, but in the six years since Donald Trump removed Comey from office amid a storm of controversy, the lanky corruptocrat has shown not the slightest hint of introspection, much less regret. Instead, he just went on MSNBC to warn that a new Trump administration could see the president weaponizing the justice system. Well, Comey certainly knows all about weaponizing federal agencies for partisan purposes.

FBI Refuses to Give Physical Document to House Investigators Outlining Biden Bribery Scheme, Now Claim “Ongoing Investigation”…

.

Here we go again with the ever-familiar silo defense.  The FBI is refusing to hand over the unclassified FD-1023 stating there is an ongoing investigation using the confidential human source who made allegations outlined in the document.  Remember, the allegations and the statement record was created in July of 2020, almost three years ago.

Prior to last week, the FBI refused to say the 6-page unclassified document existed.  After House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told FBI Director Chris Wray he had already seen the unclassified document via a whistleblower, then Comey admitted the FBI indeed had it.  Today, the FBI is refusing to release the document, stating it is now captive as part of an “ongoing investigation.”  The claimed investigation began July 2020 – the investigation is “ongoing”.  Go figure.

James Comer said he will begin the process, this Thursday, to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress.  WATCH:

The white Race Matters

The Strange Pandemic Of ‘White’ Disparagement

teaser image

All of a sudden, the obsession with whites as a Satanic collective has become a national fad…

One of the tenets of the early civil rights movement some 65 years ago was ending racial stereotyping.

When Martin Luther King, Jr. called for emphasizing the “content of our character” over “the color of our skin,” the subtext was “stop judging people as a faceless collective on the basis of their superficial appearance and instead look to them as individuals with unique characters.”

It is tragic that King’s plea for an integrated, assimilated society, in which race became incidental, not essential to our personas, has mostly been abandoned by the Left in favor of racial stereotyping, collective guilting, and scapegoating by race and gender.

Indeed, many of the old Confederate pathologies—fixation on racial essence, obsession with genealogy, nullification of federal laws, states’ rights, and segregated spaces and ceremonies—are now rehabilitated by woke activists.

In that larger landscape, the collective adjective and noun “white” now has also been redefined and mainstreamed as a pejorative to the point of banality.

“White” followed by a string of subsequent oppressive nouns—“rage,” “supremacy,” “privilege”—has become a twitch on campus. Diversity, equity, and inclusion deans and provosts cannot write a memo, issue a communique, or sign a directive without a reference to “white” something or other.

Biden Crime & Corruption

If the media wasn’t so corrupt, they’d be banging the drums for Biden’s impeachment. Instead, the press remains silent,  everyone involved in the Biden scandal disappears, and they want Trump arrested….not to protect the rule of law….but to prevent him from getting revenge

He will go down as the most corrupt “INSTALLED” President in history!

EXCERPT: ” “You run the risk of deciding whether or not you’re going to prostitute yourself to give the answer you know they want to hear in order to get funded to run for that office,” Biden testified during the program. Biden admits he decided to “prostitute” himself, but was denied because of his age. “I went to the big guys for the money,” Biden said. “I was ready to prostitute myself in the manner in which I talk about it, but what happened was they said, ‘Come back when you’re 40, son.'” ” google.com/amp/s/freebeac
