I'm going to start with this "1984 Big Brother" piece by Daniel, If Amazon Thinks You’re a Racist, It Will Shut Down Your Smart Home. An issue I highlighted this week with one of my own commentaries, Who Made Amazon the Inquisitor General? I think this is a huge issue that's clearly being ignored for the most part. Daniel goes on to say:
You no longer control your home. Amazon does. “Hey kids, be careful. If Alexa hears you say the wrong thing, nothing in the house will work anymore.” They say that a fool and his cloud are easily parted. We talk a lot about deplatforming, but when a single corporation doesn’t just control a site you use, but controls most of your life, everything from your doorbell to your vacuum, your music and your lightbulbs, and it decides that your politics are bad, you’ve got problems. That’s exactly the situation that people put themselves in when they rely on Amazon or Google Home to control their smart home only to realize that they no longer control their home. A touchy corporation that celebrates Pride Month and BLM all year round does. Beware of offending it..................
As I read this I couldn't help but think of the infamous
Pavlik Morozov: Soviet Boy Hero, who denounced his father to the Soviet authorities, who eventually killed him. If you research this story you will find there's a lot of confusion as to what really went on, but, let's go with it because this we know for sure. He was used as a tool for Soviet propaganda as the example for all Soviet youth to rat out their friends and family. The only difference is now mechanical devices are listening on our conversations and reporting, to of all things, a corporation. One that's taken on the mantel of judge, jury and executioner.
I've tried to properly categorize his pieces by subject. Please enjoy Daniel Greenfield's "More From the Point" for this week.
A totalitarian state doesn’t have to be a place with a whole bunch of new laws aimed at suppressing the political opposition. All that’s really needed is the politically selective enforcement of existing laws.
ANTISEMITISM
Special Envoy for Antisemitism Explains Need to Get Into Bed With Antisemites - “I know CAIR is problematic. It’s always awkward when you have to explain how, as part of the price of fighting antisemitism, you have to ally with antisemites. And the price of fighting antisemitism is limiting it to antisemites of the right political persuasion............Actually, the main criticism was giving the Nexus, a definition of antisemitism coined by anti-Israel activists, side billing with the IHRA definition. But certainly including CAIR was the toothpick on the ham sandwich..........
BIDEN CONSEQUENCE
Did the $10M Bribes to the Bidens Really Come From Russia? - “Obama was briefed on it. Joe Biden and Victoria Nuland were briefed as well.” Russia and Ukraine, like sizable parts of the region, are an extended ‘game of thrones’ of oligarchs and apparatchiks carving up the resources of the ex-Soviet states, using bribes, corruption, and force.The two countries are economically intertwined in complex and messy ways. At RedState, Jennifer Van Laar makes the important point that the recent revelations about Biden’s bribes were not just coming through Burisma, a Ukrainian firm, but through an alleged Russian asset.............
Biden’s Suspicious Silence on Trump Indictment - He’s laying low because he’s not the innocent bystander, he’s the criminal. Let’s suppose for a moment that you are running for president and your chief rival just got indicted. What should your response be?
- A series of viral ads
- A taunting press conference
- Silence
Normally presidential candidates cash in on the missteps of their opponents. Some of Trump’s GOP rivals may be nervous about going that route, but there isn’t a single reason in the world for Biden not to. He’s certainly not worried that Trump supporters won’t vote for him. And yet there’s a suspicious silence..............
After Lying About It, Biden Admin Admits China Spying On Us From Cuba
- An eavesdropping facility in Cuba would allow China to monitor U.S.
ship traffic and bases. The Obama administration undermined efforts to
bring down Cuba’s
Communist government and instead propped it up. The Biden administration
has been aiding a leftist revival in Latin America. And China is benefiting from the American Left’s decision to prop up its Marxist and Communist allies..............
Biden’s DOJ Turned Trump’s Secret Service Detail Into Informants The bond of trust between presidents and Secret Service agents is being violated. The Obama strategy was to weaponize every element of the federal government. The Biden administration, run by many of the same people, are taking that strategy to the next level. Previously, I discussed how Jack Smith, the Clinton allied Special Counsel, had violated the attorney-client privilege of 3 Trump lawyers so far, bringing the total number of Trump attorney-client privilege violations to 5 so far. Even Trump’s Secret Service detail has been weaponized and transformed into informants................
DOJ Covers Up $5M Biden Bribe From Burisma While Indicting Trump - “$5 million for one Biden, $5 million for the other Biden.” The Biden Justice Department and its various arms were fighting to keep a document alleging that Biden had accepted a $5 million bribe hidden from the public. That’s the same DOJ that is ordinarily more than happy to leak materials involving Trump and conservative targets to the media. The DOJ and the FBI ignored a congressional subpoena and only contempt charges provided limited access to the Biden bribe document. The FBI claimed that it was following DOJ policy to protect confidential sources. Except that the supposed concern for the confidential source would suggest that Biden is not only guilty, but that the money trail leads to some dangerous people. And yet little follow-up work appears to have been done on the investigation. The apparent contents of the bribe document leaked once members of Congress were given access to it.........
CALIFORNIA IS AN ASYLUM BEING RUN BY THE INMATES
California Incentivizes ‘Transgendering’ Kids to Win Custody Disputes - A steady flow of child cannon fodder for the woke culture war. Are you in the middle of a bitter custody dispute? Just take your kids to an activist therapist, declare them transgender, and then use that as a weapon against your ex-husband or wife. This exciting new development in destroying the lives of children comes to us from California. Where else? A newly revised California bill would treat parents’ refusal to “affirm” their child’s gender identity as a violation of health, safety, and welfare in the context of custody disputes..............That’s just part of it. Baking this into custody battles all but ensures a steady flow of child cannon fodder for the woke culture war as parents prove how little they care about the health, safety, and welfare of their children by fast-tracking them to castration, mastectomies, higher risks of suicide and all sorts of diseases to win a custody battle............
California’s Imaginary High-Speed Rail to be Powered by Solar - When your train is imaginary, it probably doesn’t matter what fictional power source it runs on. Unicorns, happy thoughts, or solar power. California’s high-speed rail, which started out costing $9 billion back in the 90s and is now set to cost $128 billion if it were ever to be built, despite not actually being built, could just as easily run on love or small children clapping. But solar is more popular now so they’re going with that...........
DEEP STATE CORRUPTION
The IRS Allows Eco-Terrorists to Crowdsource Harassment of Senators - Give them $1,000 and they’ll shut down an event while the IRS shuts its eyes...........‘Climate Defiance’ which is running a fundraiser to ‘Make Complicit Climate Cowards’ Lives F____g Miserable’. The ecoterrorist group which boasts of having “fully shut down Joe Manchin’s keynote” and “made pipeline lover Amy Klobuchar flee the stage at her own book launch party” is also pretty clear about what donors can buy by funding the environmentalist group...........
But Climate Defiance’s operations also share a funding platform with the DNC.............The Action Network, like Climate Defiance and Declare Emergency, is a 501(c)(4) and it shows the entanglement of the Democrat establishment with the far Left even when its extremists are targeting Senate Democrats and the White House for not adopting their full radical agenda..............
.Its support for eco terrorism has never been subtle and the Freedom Center had previously exposed its funding of attacks on paintings in Europe by Just Stop Oil. Like Climate Defiance and Declare Emergency, Just Stop Oil engages in ‘direct action’ and made headlines by splashing tomato soup on Van Gogh’s Sunflowers painting in London’s National Gallery..........
The real Complicit Climate Cowards are in the IRS. Those complicit climate cowards are the reason why art is under siege and events are closed down. The IRS has ignored the law, allowed eco terrorists to abuse the tax code, to destroy culture and intimidate elected officials...........The IRS............the same organization that sends chills down the spines of ordinary taxpayers is terrified of using its nearly limitless power to hold even the worst leftist nonprofit abusers accountable...........
GREEN INSANITY
15-Year-Old Sues Montana Because State Has Too Many Trees - "Mica, aged 15, learned about climate change at the young age of four," Greta Thunberg has gotten old, literally (she’s 20) and politically (she’s tiresome), time to bring on a fresh crop of victims to serve as the fresh faces for the green litigation to destroy the economy and tax us to death. Here’s the most sympathetic case that they’ve got in their lawsuit against Montana… for having trees. Mica, aged 15, learned about climate change at the young age of four, when his parents showed him the documentary Chasing Ice. This is what’s known as environmental child abuse. And political indoctrination of child soldiers..............
EDUCATION
Teachers to be Paid $150K in City Where Less Than Half of Students Are Good at Reading - New York City educators will get fat pay hikes and bonuses of up to 20%. Only money can fix education. Lots and lots of money. Dump trucks of
it dumped right in a giant hole in Randi Weingarten’s backyard where it
travels through the sewers into the coffers of top Democrats. When we pay our teachers like we pay NBA players, only then will
children get to the halfway mark at reading. Instead, we pay them like
WNBA players. For now, New York City schoolteachers must somehow survive on a miserly $150,000 a year..............
ISLAM
First Muslim Majority City in U.S. Bans Gay Pride Flags - “You can’t stop that.” Awkward, but running a rainbow coalition is challenging. Black people initially dissented from the LGBTQ movement. Lefties ignored the problem and waited for them to come around. They figure Muslims are the same way and they can just outwait them. But that won’t work. Islam is not just a set of cultural attitudes. And while Islamists post-9/11 played the damsel in distress, the rainbow coalition is now getting a dose of reality. After hours of debate and hearing from residents, Hamtramck City Council has passed the resolution to ban LGBTQ+ Pride flags unanimously. Hamtramck is the first majority-Muslim city in America. And the LGBTQ movement clashes with Islam..........Bad news for diversity.........How is a majority Muslim city diverse? It’s the opposite of diverse.............
Biden May Let Iran Collect Billions for Release of U.S. Hostages - “Iran also expects the United States to unfreeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets.” What’s worse than a formal deal with Iran? An informal deal with the Islamic terror state. The enforcement elements on the formal deal were mostly worthless and put Iran on a track to nukes. You can only imagine how truly spectacularly reliable they’ll be on the informal deal.................Islam does allow cease fires with infidels. But the cease fire only lasts until the Islamic cause is in a position to annihilate the infidels it reached a cease fire agreement with. The upshot of the deal is that Iran promises not to enrich uranium beyond a certain point, will stop trying to kill Americans in Iraq, and won’t aid Russia too much. In return, sanctions relief, as per usual. Also cash for hostages....................
UK Cops “Open-Minded” To All Explanations for Nottingham Rampage That Don’t Involve Islam - Mental illness. Obviously. Everyone is sad because a terrible thing happened in the UK. It’s one of those terrible things that keeps happening ever since the UK decided that its borders should be open… and there is no explanation for it................The attack is characteristic of Islamic terrorism in that it involved a combination car attack and stabbing rampage. And that the killer’s identity is being kept more closely than the crown jewels and Prince Andrew’s romps with Jeffrey Epstein. The police however are keeping an open mind..............Unabomber, Linked to Biden Appointee’s Terror Group, Dies in Prison -Maybe Ted Kaczynski could have been in the Biden administrationTed Kaczynski, an eco-terrorist who waged a bombing campaign that killed 3 people and injured many more, who studied at Harvard and taught at Berkeley, is finally dead. The Unabomber may be gone but his legacy lives on. Ecoterrorists like him have gone mainstream vandalizing art and terrorizing individuals. They’ve gone so mainstream that Earth First has a Biden appointee. And Earth First was the Unabomber’s north star.......
MILITARY
RACE
A Museum Pays the Price for ‘Blackwashing’ a Pharaoh - Americans cheer blackwashing history, other cultures don’t. Westerners line up to cheer the blackwashing of history, other peoples are less enthusiastic. Netflix’s black nationalist depiction of Cleopatra, a Greek ruler wrongly depicted as African, led to a major backlash in Egypt. But it was the decision by a Dutch museum with a prominent Egyptology collection to display this garbage that has come with serious consequences.......
TRUMP INDICTMENT, AND MORE
Getting Trump Once Again Required Killing Attorney-Client Privilege - That is how prosecutors work in China and Russia. And now in America. Attorney-client privilege went from a sacred trust furiously defended by lefty lawyers to just another “common misconception” when it came to getting Trump. After targeting Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani, it’s no surprise what the Clinton non-independent special counsel’s strategy was...........
Trump Prosecution Violates Attorney-Client Confidentiality by Targeting 3 Trump Lawyers Five lawyers have had attorney-client privilege violated to get Trump. As I wrote earlier this week…It wasn’t all that long ago that the liberal legal establishment was attacking the FBI for listening in on chats between terrorists and their lawyers. Defenders of Lynne Stewart, who was passing messages to terrorists on behalf of the Blind Sheikh, claimed that the government had violated attorney-client privilege and the Fifth Amendment by catching her in the act. Stewart’s indictment was described as the ‘death knell’ for the right to counsel. Meanwhile, Democrats repeatedly violating attorney-client privilege to go after a sitting and former president is no big deal. This began with Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani. Clinton Special Counsel Jack Smith is now escalating by going after 3 Trump lawyers.................I don’t believe that there’s a single case where five attorneys for the same defendant had attorney-client privilege violated. This is likely unprecedented in American history...........Not satisfied with setting fire to the first and second amendments, the leftist coup against the republic has decided to also burn down the fifth amendment..........
Why Trump’s Espionage Act Indictment is A Manufactured Process Crime - The difference between the Clinton emails and Trump’s papers is in the investigation. The FBI’s warrant for its Mar-a-Lago raid invoked the Espionage Act which meant that we were always going to end up here. The focus on Clinton ally Jack Smith’s indictment has been the Espionage Act despite its obvious inappropriateness when it comes to a former president. The Wall Street Journal spells out the problem............
Trump is Charged Under a Law Meant to Suppress Political Opposition - Democrats have used the ‘Espionage Act’ to silence opponents for over 100 years. A year after the start of WWI, President Woodrow Wilson addressed his message to Congress and warned that the “gravest threats against our national peace and safety” did not come from “other governments”, but from “within our own borders”. “Citizens of the United States,” Wilson continued, “born under other flags but welcomed under our generous naturalization laws to the full freedom and opportunity of America, who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life.” Wilson, a notorious racist and a supporter of the KKK who had contempt for a wide variety of other peoples, likely had German immigrants, but not just them, in mind when he called for what would become the Espionage Act so that “we may be purged of their corrupt distempers.”................And whether it’s Wilson’s affair with a married woman, Hunter Biden’s harem of Uber prostitutes, or Joe Biden’s money from China, the Espionage Act is a red flag for presidential corruption..............
