Tom Bernhardt on Trump shutting down USAID

Trump 1.0 promised to drain the swamp but was largely ineffective because he was naïve and got continually blocked by the powerful establishment.  I didn’t expect Trump 2.0 to be much improved.  I voted for him primarily as punishment to the Dems whose actions so deserved another round. 

But Trump 2.0 is surprising.  He came prepared and loaded for bear.  Maybe it was the time of reflection during the lawfare prosecutions, civil suits, impeachments, Russiagate, and assassination attempts, but something clearly changed. 

So he just did the best thing, maybe the best thing ever by any president.  Trump shutdown the mothership of discretionary and unaccountable corrupt power: USAID. 

For those that watch corporate news and think the AID stands for aid and other humanitarian goodiness; that’s fake, even opposite.  USAID is an extension of the CIA that performs regime changes around the globe, creates/supports political movements, funds compliant media for propaganda, funds a large area of bizarre unamerican causes, and generally acts as a money-laundering slush fund for those in power and their friends (97% vote Dem).  The result of the chaos they create is war, destruction and the death of millions. 

It doesn’t get any better domestically.  USAID, through its myriad of NGOs, funded BLM, which burned down American cities in 2020.  They fund Soros-backed DAs around the US that don’t prosecute many crimes, especially property crimes.  If you recall my motorcycle theft/recovery experience, this is but one personal example of countless around the country.

@tweettruth2me on feminism, LGBTQ, BLM and victimology

The feminist movement destroyed women and femininity.  Did you really believe the LGBTQ and the BLM movements weren’t going to do the same to it’s followers?  It’s a trap.  It’s always a trap.  Stop taking the victim bait.

Fraser Myers on the race industry

Many of the ideas about race being pushed by BLM – particularly the ubiquity of structural racism – are now part and parcel of corporate culture and the white-collar workplace.  Race experts are invited to give workshops and training on diversity and inclusion.  Employees are tested for their unconscious bias. An entire race industry worth billions has mushroomed.  The most famous and sought-after race entrepreneurs, like Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X Kendi, can earn vast sums of money in the corporate sector – sometimes tens of thousands of dollars per hour.  Those BLM protesters setting fire to police stations were not radical revolutionaries — they were more like the militant wing of the human-resources department.

Jared Miller on how Hamilton the musical glorifies fatherlessness in the black community

Another problem with Hamilton the musical is that it glorifies fatherlessness instead of pointing to the obvious detriments it has had on society and the black community. Alexander Hamilton’s father abandoned him and his family at a young age as the man was a bigamist and fled to escape prosecution.

‘Hamilton’, through the statistically unlikely success of its muse, seems to portray fatherlessness (something exceeding 77 percent in black communities) as an advantage or an inspiration that can lead to a revolution rather than a negative cultural trend that has caused significant suffering for communities it affects the greatest. 

BLM and Antifa members clearly believe in this kind of revolution as members often have ‘Hamilton’ songs and quotes plastered across their social media pages as they tear down statues of our founders and vandalize crosses in graveyards and church buildings.

Tom DiLorenzo compares cultural Marxism to past Marxist revolutions

The whole history of Marxist revolutions is that the older civilization, which may have evolved over centuries, is in fact destroyed and then replaced with nothing but totalitarian thuggery, corruption, violence, and mass killing.

George F. Smith on order vs. chaos, statism and the free market

In most circles the fact of government’s necessity is never mentioned but always assumed. Thus, the push for reforms, to get better people in positions of authority, to pass needed legislation on top of the mountains that already exist. Always — work within the system. Don’t rock the boat. Our foundations are still solid. Rarely does anyone call into question the need for government-as-we-know-it — the State.

Does the State’s virus management give you confidence it’s acting in your best interest? For me, it’s like something out of Orwell or Nazi Germany. 

Without the State there would be chaos, we’re told. What do we have today, if not chaos? I haven’t even mentioned the riots going on, where people defending themselves are charged with serious crimes. The rioters hate the police, and seeing the police stand down, peaceful people now fear for their lives and load up on guns. 

And now we’re being hit with black lives matter and only black lives matter. It is no longer a fringe movement. It exists virtually unchallenged. No one, no matter their race, can live long under that slogan.

We already have a government we can live with. It’s called the free market but it’s been sabotaged by the State. It’s locked down, meaning not allowed to operate. We need to set it free.

Micah Curtis on Antifa

One of my biggest issues since the death of George Floyd and the beginning of the riots has been the complete and total lack of honesty when it comes to Antifa. This is not just a group of people that dislikes far-right politics. Their name stands for anti-fascist action, but it is intellectually dishonest to look at what they are doing and think this has anything to do with fighting fascism. Their goal is revolution, and it’s likely that if you were to ask them if they think that Pol Pot did anything wrong, their answer would be no.

Zachary Yost on the role of guilt-ridden rich kids in BLM protests

Hopefully, as social life slowly returns to normal and as the weather gets colder, the guilt-ridden rich kids will tire out from playacting as revolutionaries and return home. But until then, it seems that the rest of us will be forced to suffer as they work out their psychological problems through some window-smashing therapy.

Vasko Kohlmayer on the BLM attacks on Christian symbols

The protestors themselves make their intentions clear as they barely attempt to hide their true motives. In many cases they do not bother to make even tenuous links between their faux cause of “anti-racism” and their attacks on Christianity. In fact, they are surprisingly brazen about their goals. By inscribing slogans such as “God is dead,” and “There is no God” and by drawing anarchist and pagan graffiti on the walls of Christian edifices, these “anti-racism” protesters could not be more clear about what they really want.

Just think about it: What do pagan symbols have to do with the struggle for “racial justice?” Have pagan cultures ever been known for their racial tolerance and equality? Have they ever been known to treat minorities with compassion and understanding? Anyone who knows anything about history knows that there has been little social justice in pagan cultures. As a rule, the way pagan societies treat their minorities is appalling. To express this truth in modern idiom, pagan cultures almost invariably discriminate – often brutally – on the basis of race, gender, national original, disability, sexual orientation and on the basis of whatever else that can make one different from the ruling elite in charge. The only societies that have treated minorities with understanding and compassion have been those arising from the Western civilizational stream. Western societies are the only ones in history in which minorities are given the full measure of human respect and equal rights. As far as we know, there have been no significant social justice movement in pagan societies. This should not surprise, since any would-be activists against oppression in non-Christian cultures usually come to a quick end.

Bradley Thomas on the Marxist goals of BLM

BLM is no different from other Marxist groups. The organization’s goals extend far beyond police abuse and police brutality. The ultimate goal is the abolition of a society based upon private property in the means of production.

Tom DiLorenzo on turning Major League Baseball into "left-wing propaganda spectacles"

In addition to keeping fans away, turning games into left-wing propaganda spectacles, officially endorsing the radical communist “We’re Trained Marxists” Only Black Lives Matter, allowing players to kneel to protest the existence of “racist America” at the beginning of each game, and imposing hundreds of asinine CDC rules on the game itself, Fuhrer Fauci will throw out the first ball at the Washington Nationals game on Thursday.
