The World As I See It, July 27, 2023

By Rich Kozlovich
 
I think I can honestly say there's so much going on that's insane and outrageous I find it almost impossible to write articles dealing with all these issues.  At least competent articles as each article takes a lot time organizing, researching, and putting them together in a rational, provocative, profound and interesting way.  So, I've decided to just offer these links for your perusal instead.  Here's the stuff I intended to use as the basis for articles.  This Link will take you to All of My Commentaries

CENSORSHIP ESG BIG CORPORATE CENSORSHIP 
 
Well, it appears this must have been a corporate conspiracy to violate British law, how else can anyone explain how not only did his bank cancel his account, ten others also refused to accept him as a customer?  This is an insidious scheme that needs prosecuted, and they all need to be sued, and possibly jailed for deliberately violating his rights.  Also, how many others has this happened to?  Would this have become exposed if he hadn't been such a prominent person?  That's what needs to be investigated.    As you read these posts it must become apparent there's a gigantic danger to freedom being put into place.   Banking it seems is going to be the primary tool to whip humanity into obedience.....or else!  And anyone resisting their efforts to silence opponents, will have to suffer.  This Link will take you to my Censorship commentaries.

Nigel Farage Ups the Ante: Bank Faces £17.5 Million Fine as ‘Mr Brexit’ Files Complaint over Passing Info to BBC - Brexit leader Nigel Farage has filed an official complaint against the NatWest, accusing the bank of passing his information to the BBC, which initially claimed that he lost his account with Coutts for financial reasons before backtracking to acknowledge that the decision was made in part due to political reasons..........

Scalp! Bank Boss Resigns With Immediate Effect Over Leaking Nigel Farage’s Private Information to BBC - NatWest Chief Executive Dame Alison Rose resigned on Wednesday morning, the latest shock development in a five-week saga triggered by the attempted debanking of Nigel Farage. The Brexit leader has said the whole NatWest board should resign next.........

CBDCs: A Weapon for Debanking the Banked “Even if you think that a CBDC is a good idea, consider that its power may be turned against you when the political pendulum shifts in your direction and your views or activities are suddenly considered taboo or illegal by those in power.” ~ Emile Phaneuf III

‘Shut Up or Else!’ The True Link between Islam and the Left By Raymond Ibrahim - Despite their many outward differences, Islamic authoritarianism and leftist liberalism are, in fact, very similar, especially in that they brook no dissent. Here, I’d like to offer a more focused look into their similar modes of operation, especially in the context of belief vs. compliance.  For starters, few Muslims -- including some of the most “radical” -- really care what anyone else, including Muslims, believes or disbelieves about Islam.  This may seem counterintuitive; after all, isn’t Islam draconian and in your face concerning its beliefs, subjugating and even killing those who reject it and its dogmas?........

The New Nazis: Democrats Are the Party of Censorship - A Pew Research poll released July 20 found that 70% of Democrats think the government should restrict what appears on social media, a dramatic change from five years ago when a majority of Democrats supported a free marketplace of ideas.

CRIME

Crime is out of control in San FRancisco, and they're worried about a business sign.  We've lost our minds.  This Link will take you to my Crime commentaries. 

San Francisco has plenty of police resources to police how Elon Musk displays his Twitter sign... San Francisco, which is short some 500 police officers and is inundated with auto break-ins, burglaries, mass lootings, attacks on elderly people, and tourist robberies as a result, nevertheless had sufficient cops to police changes to Elon Musk's headquarters Twitter sign. According to the San Francisco Chronicle:

CULTURE

The goal of leftists has been to destroy the American culture, the American identity, the American economy and overturn the Constitution, and they've just about done it, and did so by corrupting public education, which has been insidiously underway since the late 19th century.   And there's no one they won't attack and try to destroy in that effort.  This Link will take you to my Culture commentaries.  

Gallup Poll: Only 18% of Young Adults, 29% of Democrats Are Extremely Proud to Be American - A Gallup poll released Tuesday showed that only 29% of Democrats express “extreme pride in being American,” compared to 60% of Republicans.“Party identification remains the greatest demographic differentiator in expressions of national pride, and Republicans have been consistently more likely than Democrats and independents to express pride in being American throughout the trend,” a Gallup summary of the poll said.“That gap has been particularly pronounced since 2018, with more than twice as many Republicans as Democrats saying they are extremely proud. Republicans are also nearly twice as likely as independents to express the highest degree of pride,” it said............
 
Poll: Millennials Say ‘Misgendering’ Should Be a Crime, Gen Z Disagrees - A strong percentage of millennial Americans (ages 25-34) are in favor of catering to the whims of sex-confused individuals by making adherence to biological reality in language a criminal offense, new polling conducted for Newsweek found.
 
 Anti-Family Democrats Try to Go After Moms  - After they noticed, moms started showing up to school board meetings demanding to know what the hell was going on. Democrats lied. More insanity and denials of reality flowed from schools, Democrats lied about it. Finally, voters led by these mothers tossed out school board members across the country. That was a bridge too far for the left.  Democrats do not care if you don’t like them, they don’t care if you oppose them, it’s when you strip them of power that they take the gloves off. The number of children hurt, the amount of lives damaged does not matter as long as they maintain their grip on power. Moms, particularly white suburban moms, turning on them is not acceptable. 

DEEP STATE CORRUPTION AND BIDEN
 
The level and depth of corruption, and seemingly outright treason going on here is truly disturbing, and there only seems to be one honest character in these accounts, a judge, who was a supporter of Hillary Clinton, has the courage to stand for truth, justice and the American way.   Federal Judge Maryellen Noreika!  This Link will take you to my Deep State Corruption commentaries.

Ex-FBI Agent Rips Media Hypocrisy: Contrasting Steele Dossier With Biden Bribery - 'The left-wing media continues to say, ‘Oh, it's unverified,’ but I didn't hear that during the Steele dossier...'(Luis CornelioHeadline USA) In a scathing critique of mainstream media’s double standards, former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker appeared on Fox News’s Fox and Friends Sunday on July 24th, blasting the media’s handling of the FD-1023 informant file in comparison to the infamous Steele Dossier.  Parker began by stating, “Full disclaimer, I have never worked on this investigation. I reviewed the document just like everybody else did on open source, and an FD-1023 is a confidential human source reporting document.” She emphasized the significance of human sources in the FBI’s work, stating they provide crucial information that may not be obtainable through other means...........

Legal Expert Jonathan Turley: Democrats, Media Out of ‘Maneuvering Room’ Over Biden Crime Family Scandals: ‘Bribery Is the Second Crime Mentioned in the Impeachment Clause’ -  George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Monday that Democrats and the media were running out of “maneuvering room” over bribery allegations involving President Joe Biden. Internal Revenue Service whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler testified during a Wednesday hearing held by the House Oversight Committee on the criminal probe into Hunter Biden about alleged interference with the investigation by the Justice Department. Republican Sen. Charles Grassley released the FD-1023 form containing allegations that the Bidens received millions of dollars in bribes obtained from a whistleblower Thursday..........

Weiss knew in 2020 that the FBI had corroborated the confidential informant’s story of Biden bribery - David Weiss, the US Attorney for the District of Delaware charged with investigating Biden, has a lot of explaining to do when he testifies before Congress in September or October. Thanks to the efforts of Senator Grassley, the public now has the FBI Form 1023, with the account of outright bribery of the Biden crime family following what sounds like a shakedown of Burisma. The 1023 account is based on a still-anonymous Confidential Human Source (CHS) who had previously proven reliable.............

Kevin McCarthy Claims Impeachment of Bribery Biden Is Being Prepared - Is Joe Biden finally about to face the first steps of impeachment? That’s what House Speaker Kevin McCarthy signaled on Monday evening. While appearing on Fox News, McCarthy laid out the case that Joe Biden accepted bribes and funneled money through a variety of shell companies. He then said at the end of the segment with Sean Hannity that “this is rising to the level of an impeachment inquiry.”.......

DOJ Will Allow Delaware U.S. Attorney to Testify Before House Judiciary Committee, Balks on Ten Other DOJ Employees

How Investigative Journalists Have Become Cover-Up Promoters - After the highly touted, shamelessly self-promoted Washington Post "investigative" Watergate journalism, thousands of aspiring young people sought to become, like the legendary Woodward and Bernstein, fearless speakers of truth to power, uncovering corruption and cover-up without fear or favor.  But fifty years later, these supposed investigative journalists have become the corrupt actors whom they promised to expose.  Have our vaunted good guys become dirty cops?  It sure looks like it. .............

It's time to prosecute the prosecutorsr - The farther we drift from the constitutional rule in this country, the less shocking the shocking will become. A few years ago, the notion of an incumbent American president prosecuting his political opponent for so-called "crimes" involving the opponent's speech would have shocked America's conscience. This totalitarianism tactic happens in Russia, where Putin jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, or Venezuela, where Nicolás Maduro arrests opposition leaders like Leopoldo López, or Cambodia, where opposition leader Kem Sokha was convicted of "treason," got 27 years in prison, and was banned forever from running for office.

FBI Hands Over Documents Relating to Targeting of Catholics - On Tuesday, the FBI handed over requested documents on its efforts to target Catholic Americans after another threat from Congress to hold director Christopher Wray in contempt.As reported by the New York Post, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, had subpoenaed the files in question and threatened to hold Wray in contempt of Congress if the documents were not delivered by the deadline of July 25th............

Whistleblowers and the Rule of Law - What should law-abiding, patriotic citizens do when it’s clear that the system has stopped working? What do woke liberals do (and apologies for any implication that they are patriotic citizens) when they don’t like that the system is working? They riot and kill. That’s what the Black Lives Matter riots were all about. “They” didn’t like the system, so “they” destroyed about $2 billion worth of property and killed at least 19 people. The New York Times, the Washington Post, and all the proper pontificating people in Washington, D.C., and the other bastions of woke-liberal group-think, didn’t bat an eyelash at the carnage. And so they all became complicit in the venture........

Plea deal falls apart, Hunter pleads ‘not guilty’ as DOJ and defense counsel continue talks with court-imposed 14-day deadline -  Federal Judge Maryellen Noreika refused to accept the sweetheart plea deal that the Department of Justice was prepared to sign off on with no prison time and only misdemeanor charges. One major issue for Judge Noreika was ambiguity over whether further charges could be brought, or if the agreement immunized Hunter from further charges arising from the issues of the case. Fox News summarizes the discussion in the hearing that lasted 3 hours......... 
 
Hunter Biden Could be Jailed if He Consumes Drugs, Alcohol as Part of Release Conditions - President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, could be jailed if he consumes any drugs or alcohol, according to the conditions of his release signed by U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika. Biden appeared in federal court in Delaware on Wednesday, where he was expected to enter a guilty plea as part of a deal negotiated between his lawyers and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) arising out of charges of illegally possessing a handgun and failing to pay two years’ worth of federal taxes........
 
Adam Schiff Did Not Just Say That About a Possible Biden- Is Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) serious with these remarks about a potential Biden impeachment inquiry? The pressure is increasing on the Biden White House under the microscope from all angles. Hunter Biden’s laptop provided the window into the types of government access deals he and his father were allegedly cooking up, even when Joe was serving as vice president. Some of that cash was funneled through shell companies, and the IRS wanted to charge the president’s son for breaking the law, but the Justice Department ran interference in any effort to do so. ........

GLOBAL WARMING ENERGY 

Understand this.  Global Warming, Climate Change, or whatever term they choose to use in the future is predicated on lies in order to impose a form of world governance with leftist maniacs in charge. This Link will take you to my Global Warming commentaries. 

Solar Panels Don’t Really Help the Environment, but They Do Help Our Enemies - The Biden administration has sunk billions of taxpayer dollars into “renewable” energy, but a new report won’t surprise Americans who’ve read any honest research on solar panels. It reveals that the panels are nearly as carbon-intensive as natural gas. Not only that, investment in solar benefits America’s number one enemy: China........

The splooting squirrel: a true picture of climate change alarmists July 25, 2023 As pampered climate alarmists continue to find new reasons to downgrade our lives, their latest example of climate change is fuzzy and ridiculous. Climate change alarmists get more desperate every day. Small wonder when you consider that the first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970 and all the gruesome predictions about the climate that came out about that time have failed to come true. We were told that civilization would end by 2000, that the environmental crisis would make the earth uninhabitable, that hundreds of millions of people would starve to death by 1980, that nitrogen buildup would filter light out of the atmosphere and render land unusable, that fish would die and polar bears would drown, that rain forests would disappear, and there would be a new ice age in which gas stations would no longer have gas. None of those things have come to pass.  However, there is one prediction made in 2000 by Ronald Bailey, author of The End of Doom: Environmental Renewal in the Twenty-first Century, that did come to pass and ahead of the predicted time. Bailey predicted that, by Earth Day 2030, “There will be a disproportionately influential group of doomsters predicting that the future—and the present—never looked so bleak.”.............
 
A century of 'Climate Change' - Some of these "world-threatening crises" go back a long, long way.  The Washington Post has released a story headlined "Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt."  Highlights of the article include seals finding waters too hot, there is a radical change in climatic conditions, temperatures are rising in the arctic, and glaciers are disappearing.  Same old story, and I do mean an old story — this particular item appeared in 1922.  The left has taken umbrage at the circulation of the story on social media because it was embellished with a warning that the sea level would rise and coastal cities would become uninhabitable.  It's true that the archived article says nothing about rising sea levels or the habitability of coastal cities.  It is also true that the mainstream media have been issuing strident warnings that melting polar ice will render coastal cities uninhabitable.  The World Economic Forum lists cities at risk.  CBS News informs us there will be zombie towns from rising sea levels.  The United Nations considers melting ice a direct threat to humanity.  I find myself wondering why anybody would have a problem with the extrapolation of the 1922 article that melting ice will endanger coastal cities, when that's what we've been told for years and years..............
 
IN-DEPTH: New Jersey Residents Push Back Against Offshore Wind Farm -Bob Stern of Long Beach Island, New Jersey, is no absolutist on wind energy.He told The Epoch Times that his organization, Save Long Beach Island, is “not necessarily opposed to all offshore wind development.”Yet, like many others who live and work near the Garden State’s scenic bays, beaches, spits, and sounds, Mr. Stern fears large-scale offshore wind farms are coming too quickly and without enough scrutiny. Who and what stands to lose?...........

HOLLYWOOD

In Hollywood everyone must be on board with whatever the latest leftist narrative of the day may be, and anyone out of step with them must be punished.   And that includes any perfromance out of step with their insanity, such as that by Jason Aldean, more below on that.   But it isn't just the Democrats who are on board with that.  Faux conservatives are enablers of this corruption. 

The Most National Review Column Ever -I took a pretty liberal girl on a date to see William F. Buckley back in college, which would probably scandalize the current senior staff of his National Review, but I bet it would have made WFB smile. Buckley was also a graduate of the Army's former Ft. Benning School for Boys, but since his death, the Officer Candidate School has become Ft. Moore School for Boys, Girls, and Non-Binary Two-Spirits. This change for the worse is emblematic of how NR's conservatism has failed to conserve much of anything. In Buckley's absence, NR has tried to stand athwart history yelling, "Stop," and instead, the left just gave it a wedgie and continued on its long march.

The Left Freaks Out Because I Hated The ‘Barbie’ Movie. Here’s The Real Reason Why - As apparently everyone on earth knows, I went to see the “Barbie” movie on Friday. The tweet in which we announced that I had actually seen the “Barbie” movie has roughly 60 million views at this point.The outrage in the media at my review is astonishing because I did a 43-minute review of the film in which I went through it point by point. There were articles about my review of this movie in sources as diverse as Newsweek, NBC News, and The Daily Beast. Everyone was covering the fact that I did not like this movie. What I did was apparently terrible. Why? Why the outrage over me not liking the film?........

Barbie Is All Emotionalism And Appearance But Lacks Any Rationality - The Barbie movie’s first weekend has gone well. And, in many ways the movie deserves the attention, but not for what might matter most to the women who made it. Conservatives have conceded the movie’s good production values but disliked its moral ones. The real problem, though, is that it’s not a very good movie. Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie) lives in a safe and beautiful world where houses need few walls and every day is great. But even with president, lawyer and judge Barbies wearing midriff-baring clothing without shame, elements of that very human emotion begin to appear.  First, Ken (Ryan Gosling) feels the need to hide his love for Barbie, because she is still in the phase of life where her girlfriends are more important to her than is romance with a boy. Second, Barbie develops intrusive ideas about death. Finally, and to her greatest shame, Barbie wakes up to flat feet and the possibility of having cellulite show on her thighs................

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION 

Buried News: Bums, Illegals, Addicts, and Criminals Double Their Assaults in Hospitals - How's this as a consequence of radical leftist policies that coddle society's troublemakers?As of Sunday, the San Diego Union-Tribune ran a Page One above-the-fold story by Paul Sisson headlined "Hospitals in County Look for Ways to Cut Attacks on Workers," which is an important story indeed because it points to the consequences to innocent hospital workers of constantly coddling bums, illegals, drug addicts and criminals, all of whom were named as perpetrators in the piece.For some strange reason, the story not there on the San Diego Union-Tribune's website and I looked and looked. I don't think it's a time delay, as there are other significant Page One stories up on the site -- one about the sleazy world of "Fat Leonard" who is linked to corruption in the Navy, and another on Comic-Con, for example......

PANDEMIC FAUCI
 
85 seconds of video that hilariously show what a liar Fauci was about Covid’s origins - The short video from Matt Orfalea embedded below brilliantly summarizes the evidence that Dr. Fauci bullied scientists into changing their minds about what their research showed: that Covid was the product of a lab, not a naturally occurring virus. It’s one thing to read about the correspondence among those scientists in print. But seeing their actual words excerpted and dramatized with exaggerated cartoonish treatment drives home the point forcefully, especially after the brief clip of Fauci lying to the nation in a presser...
 
Left Demands Boycott of In-N-Out Burgers Over Mask Policies - Conservatives successfully boycotted Bud Light, due to the organization’s explicit political goal. However, it now appears the left has discovered an alternative boycott objective after becoming enraged with In-N-Out Burger. By informing staff that the coronavirus crisis has ended, meaning there is hardly a need for masks in work environments, the fast food behemoth has drawn the wrath of the left...... "Advertisement">

RACISM

This Link will take you to my Race commentaries. 

If Jason Aldean Is Racist: We Need More Like Him -  Six shooting deaths and at least twenty plus others were shot in Chicago  this past weekend alone.  Wanna guess what crayon color they represented on the color wheel? In one Philadelphia, PA weekend, 6 people were gunned down, i.e., shot dead on city streets (and an alley), including a 14-year-old boy.   Wanna guess what color they represent on the color wheel?........

Not in this small town - Biden voters are frothing mad at Jason Aldean's latest video, "Try That in a Small Town."  Aldean's video highlights the lawlessness that Antifa, BLM, and other Democrat groups carried out during the summer of 2020, all while his lyrics tell Dems they'd better not try such craziness in small-town America.  A little background: Recall that after George Floyd died of a drug OD (May 2020), Democrat cities erupted in months of destructive riots, firebombing of courthouses, carjackings, murders, etc.  It was frightening to watch the daily destruction by Democrat thugs as they tore down statues, vandalized and looted businesses, turned over and torched vehicles, and beat anyone unlucky enough to stumble upon their mayhem.........
 
Jason Aldean’s Primal Scream - On July 13, 2023, a country western artist little known outside his genre stepped into the national spotlight when he released a video of a song that channeled the feelings of at least 100 million Americans. In less than a week it was ranked #1 on iTunes and as of July 25 it is the #1 trending music video on YouTube. But you won’t see it on Country Music Television, because it’s been banned. By now the story line is well established. Jason Aldean, 46 years old, who already had 24 number 1 hits on the US country charts, has released a music video where against a backdrop of protests and rioting, he sings “don’t try that in a small town, see how far you make it down the road…” Reaction to Aldean’s alleged endorsement of vigilantism and allegedly coded racist undertones has been swift and unrelenting..............

When July 26 turned out to be an ugly day...Growing up in a Cuban-American home acquainted me with a lot of the island of Cuba's history. I guess that's normal in immigrant homes, but my parents were the type committed to teaching us how communism destroyed what they lovingly called "la patria" or homeland.Conversations at our family dinners were always about Cuba.  My parents would often warn us about leftists by saying "cuidado" or "be careful" because they always tell you what you want to hear.......

TRANSGENDERISM

LGBTQ-centric middle school to open in Phoenix - The nonprofit offers a wellness program that promotes child sex change surgeries. -An LGBTQ-centric middle school is set to open in the state of Arizona to offer students an alternative education centered around LGBTQ+ history and curriculum. This comes after the Arizona state legislature passed Bill 2853, otherwise known as "school choice" last year, which grants parents the decision on where to send their child to school through taxpayer-funded scholarship grants, or education vouchers.  Through Arizona's education vouchers, middle schoolers will be able to enroll at the Queer Blended Learning Center in August located in downtown Phoenix at an LGBTQ+ youth nonprofit called one∙n∙ten, according to AZ Central.........

The Deceptive Advertising of Gender-Affirming Surgery- There is much talk about gender-affirming surgery (“GAS”). A lot of it surrounds the initiatives taken by some hospitals and medical centers to make these surgeries available to teenagers and, reportedly, younger children. What we seldom talk about is what exactly is going on with these surgeries. It’s worth working our way down through the products being sold to the reality behind the sales pitches.

Who will be the innocent who speaks the truth to the transgender crowd? - Make-believe is fun as long as we have the freedom to stop when we tire of playing. Now, however, the wonderful folks that gave us Sodom and Gomorrah want to compel us and our children in public schools to agree with them that their perverse sexual practices and thinking are normal. They want us to agree with them that women can be men and men can be women. They want the objectors among us to face job termination and legal sanctions if we don’t say “amen” to their ever-changing norms...

Dave Chappelle Launches Nationwide Arena Tour After Trans Mob Tried to Cancel Him - Comedy megastar Dave Chappelle has launched a nationwide arena tour months after a trans mob tried to cancel him over his comedy calling out the trans hysteria sweeping the country.Chappelle’s tour will kick off at Madison Square Garden in New York City on August 22, and will wrap up at the United Center in Chicago on October 4, according to the announcement released Tuesday by TODAY.The announcement comes after a woke mob of trans activists have tried to cancel the comedian over the years in response to his jokes......

Transvestite Terrorism on the Rise - Four months ago on March 27, Audrey Hale shot her way into the Covenant School in Nashville and gunned down nine-year-olds Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney and Hallie Scruggs, daughter of Chad Scruggs, senior pastor at the Covenant Presbyterian Church. Hale, a woman who thought she was a man, also shot dead Katherine Koonce, 59, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, and African American Mike Hill, 61, the school’s custodian. Hale left behind a manifesto explaining her actions but trans activists oppose release of the documents, now in the hands of the FBI. At this writing, the manifesto remains unreleased but autopsy records enable the murder victims to testify. Consider first responder Mike Hill.
