The Fresh Face of Stalinism: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Via Lew Rockwell.com

The 29-year-old “Democratic socialist” has used her popularity in the mainstream media to move Democratic Party further down to socialism. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ran on the same platform as Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong.

Her program of the socialist revolution in the United States is named the Green New Deal and uses the threat of the presumed “climate change” as the valid reason for a complete socialist takeover of the U.S. economy. “A Green New Deal will require the following: … providing and leveraging, in a way that ensures that the public receives appropriate ownership stakes and returns on investment, adequate capital (including through community grants, public banks, and other public financing), technical expertise, supporting policies, and other forms of assistance to communities, organizations, Federal, State, and local government agencies, and businesses working on the Green New Deal mobilization.” It is obvious that the public receiving “appropriate ownership stakes” is an acknowledgement that the government will own the means of production what is socialism. All promises and talking points of the Green New Deal can be found in the Manifesto of the Communist Party and the Soviet Union’s “Stalin’s Constitution”. It includes the government-guaranteed medical care, housing, education and the “right to work”. She goes even farther to guarantee jobs for everyone “unable or unwilling to work”. Stalin dealt with the “unwilling” differently, – they would be shot on the spot. Only after his death Soviet socialists “mellowed” and would “only” deport the “unwilling” to the forced labor camps in Siberia.

We live in a society in which there are an awful lot of people who have no idea that Stalin, Hitler, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez came to power promising exactly the same kind of things that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is promising. And it led to public slavery, mass murder, starvation and destruction. Because of our pro-socialist educational system most Americans aren’t aware of some of the ghastlier episodes of history. For example, two-thirds of millennials don’t know what happened at Auschwitz, even less heard about Holodomor, dreadful Soviet Gulag and killing fields of China and Cambodia.

A manifestation of the anti-capitalist mentality in today’s America is the fact that Democratic Party is on the way to become a “standard” socialist party. Today Most Democrats have a higher opinion of socialism than they do of capitalism. So are many college students and other millennials infected with class and race hatred and ready to follow their newly reincarnated Che Guevara – young and charismatic Stalinist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Trump: FBI & DOJ to review ‘outrageous’ Jussie Smollett case

Via The Hill

President Trump in an early morning tweet on Thursday said the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) will review the “outrageous” case against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.

“FBI & DOJ to review the outrageous Jussie Smollett case in Chicago,” the president said.

“It is an embarrassment to our Nation!” he added.

The president did not provide details, but two unidentified law enforcement officials told ABC7 in Chicago that FBI agents are reviewing the circumstances around the dismissal of charges against Smollett.

The 36-year-old performer had been charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false report after he told Chicago police he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack.

Prosecutors dropped the charges on Tuesday in a twist that sparked allegations of “leftist privilege” by some conservatives.

“After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case,” the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said in a statement.

“We stand by the Chicago Police Department’s investigation and our decision to approve charges in this case,” the statement continued.

Smollett’s attorneys said the actor’s “record has been wiped clean” in a statement released Tuesday.

Smollett Drama – Cook County State Attorney Now Says Sealing Case Was Done Accidentally…

Via The Conservative Treehouse

Whoopsie, Chicago State Attorney corruption is going into ludicrous mode. According to an interview with ABC7, Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx is now claiming all the activity to seal evidence in the Jussie Smolett case was done “inadvertently”.

Yeah, yeah…. that’s the ticket. The keyboards and computers self-activated and typed up the motion to the Judge, and then convinced the clerk of courts to accept the motion filing all just accidental and stuff… or something. Nothing to see here, Russians! Gottabe…

Oh yeah, and don’t overlook that pesky admission that Ms. Foxx didn’t actually recuse herself from the case, as previously claimed. She’s admitting she participated. D’oh!

The Making of a Monster: We’re All Lab Rats in the Government’s Secret Experiments

By John W. Whitehead

The U.S. government, in its pursuit of so-called monsters, has itself become a monster.

This is not a new development, nor is it a revelation.

This is a government that has in recent decades unleashed untold horrors upon the world—including its own citizenry—in the name of global conquest, the acquisition of greater wealth, scientific experimentation, and technological advances, all packaged in the guise of the greater good.

Mind you, there is no greater good when the government is involved. There is only greater greed for money and power.

Unfortunately, the public has become so easily distracted by the political spectacle coming out of Washington, DC, that they are altogether oblivious to the grisly experiments, barbaric behavior and inhumane conditions that have become synonymous with the U.S. government.

These horrors are being meted out against humans and animals alike.

Globalism’s Last Disgrace: The Army Vs The Yellow Vests

Via Zero Hedge

There are few people in this world more odious than French President Emmanuel Macron after his behavior this week. I’m sure there are child molesters who are worse. But as a man who is pivotal in the future of hundreds of millions of people, his decision to order the French military to quell the Yellow Vests protests with live ammunition is simply vile.

Macron outed himself as the very symbol of what animates the globalist elite he represents.

The disdain he holds for the people he leads is palpable. It’s as palpable for his disdain for the British who voted for Brexit. To him the EU is all, the EU is inevitable and when faced with the choice of serving France or serving the EU, he chooses the EU every time.

That is what led him to this disastrous decision to deploy the French military to the streets for the first time since 1948 with orders to shoot protestors.

And that disdain is so complete that he doesn’t realize what happens if even one of those men goes too far and takes the President at his word. Thankfully, that did not happen

Why Don’t Transgender Activists Care About Sex Change Mistakes?

Via The Federalist

The transgender movement has a problem with false positives. Set aside, for the moment, concerns about women’s athletics becoming dominated by biological males, or fears that male sexual predators may assume trans identities to gain access to female-only spaces, from locker rooms to hospitals to prisons.

For the sake of argument, accept the premise of the transgender movement: a woman can be born with a male body, or a man with a female body, resulting in gender dysphoria that is best treated by social and medical transition to affirm gender identity rather than biological sex.

Even if this is granted, the problem of false positives remains: what about those who mistakenly claim a transgender identity? The growing ranks of those who regret transitioning prove that mistaken diagnoses and treatments are happening. Those whom have de-transitioned are providing testimony, with their words and the scars they bear on their bodies, of the harm that transitioning does to those who mistakenly undergo it.

Transgender advocates and allies should be concerned about these errors, especially as claims of transgender identities and requests for medical transition are rising rapidly. Even those who accept transgender ideology and support transition as a treatment for gender dysphoria should not want people to mistakenly transition. They should favor rigorous screening to reduce the likelihood of such mistakes.

But trans advocates are often dismissive—even hostile—toward those who no longer identify as transgender, or who have resolved their gender dysphoria without transitioning.
