Fidel Castro: Leftwing Monster

By Rich Kozlovich

Recently I published this piece, The Nitwit Brigade on Parade, II, and before that The Nitwit Brigade on Parade, and Nitwits on Parade, and the one thing they all have in common is they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome....they hate Trump.  But what's really the height of hypocrisy and abject stupidity, many of them in the past praised Castro as one of the world's great leaders, but in reality, he was one of the greatest mass murders in the last 100 years,.  All the while they cling to the lies of Castro having done all sorts of wonderful things for the people of Cuba.  All lies. 

This is from Discover the Networks and it goes into depth showing how the economic conditions before Castro were better than in many European nations, and how Castro destroyed that putting his nation into abject poverty and tyranny.  The fact dystopia is the one constant when socialism/communism is imposed on a nation.  Dystopia follows socialism just as sure as Sancho Panza followed Don Quixote, a madman.  

Fidel Castro entered Havana on January 8, 1959, to wild acclaim from all quarters. Most Cubans were jubilant; Castro was promising an end to the corrupt governments that had plagued Cuba since independence. Far from any Communism, Castro was promising a revolution "as green as Cuba's palm trees!" with national elections in three months. Private property would be secure, a free press guaranteed, friendly relations with the U.S. were essential……

Yet within three months of his entry into Havana, Castro's firing squads had murdered an estimated 600-1,100 men and boys, and Cuba's jails held ten times the number of political prisoners as under Fulgencio Batista, who Castro overthrew with claims to "liberating" Cuba……. 

As with so much else regarding pre-Castro Cuba, major misconceptions abound in this editorial. To wit: in the 1950's the average farm-wage in "near-feudal" Cuba was higher than in France, Belgium, Denmark, or West Germany. 

According to the Geneva-based International Labor Organization, the average daily wage for an agricultural worker in Cuba in 1958 was $3. The average daily wage in France at the time was $2.73; in Belgium $2.70; in Denmark $2.74; in West Germany $2.73; and in the U.S. $4.06. Also, far from huge latifundia dominating the agricultural landscape, the average Cuban farm in 1958 was actually smaller than the average farm in the U.S.: 140 acres in Cuba vs. 195 acres in the U.S. In 1958 Cuba, a nation of 6.2 million people, had 159,958 farms -- 11,000 of which were tobacco farms. Only 34 percent of the Cuban population was rural……To Read More....much, much more…..

Gov. Newsom’s $750M Gift to Hollywood Donors

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog 

Ben Affleck recently complained that California “came to take this industry for granted a little bit.”

By that the movie star meant that the state wasn't funding it enough, but that's not for lack of California officials trying.

California has a $68 billion deficit, and Gov. Newsom is proposing $375 million in budget cuts for the California State University system, $68 million in cuts for wildfire prevention (even as LA is recovering from the worst fires in history) and doubling Hollywood’s tax credits to $750 million

Hollywood, which already benefits from $350 million in breaks, will get $750 million in tax credits even as money is being cut from education, public safety and even wildfire prevention.

The entertainment industry would be able to recoup up to 35% of their spending, up from the current 20%, and the subsidies would cover everything from sitcoms to reality shows.

The California Production Coalition, whose members include the umbrella trade group for Disney, Amazon, Netflix, Sony, Universal and WBs, has a list of demands that include lifting the $100 million cap on expenses, and, even more controversially, “above the line” costs of salaries for movie stars, directors and other talent which can run into the tens of millions of dollars.

Should California taxpayers really be covering Tom Cruise’s salary? Hollywood thinks so. And the powerful Hollywood donors to California Democrats means that they usually get their way.

When Gov. Gavin Newsom faced a recall after a corrupt pandemic lockdown system that kept churches and small businesses closed, but allowed movie and TV productions to do whatever they wanted, Hollywood donors showed up to throw millions at Newsom. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings kicked in $3 million, Universal, Paramount and top celebrities also stepped up.

A ‘virtual’ event chaired by Dreamworks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, raised over $1 million to keep Newsom in office. FOX, Sony and other executives wrote checks for thousands of dollars.

Now Gov. Newsom is paying up.

Last year, Disney’s ‘Paradise 2’, a series about political corruption, fittingly received over $12 million, ‘Untitled WB Film’ got $20 million, ‘Untitled Disney+ Project’ picked up $14 million, ‘Suits LA’ got $12 million to shoot in LA, ‘LA Nights’ got $19 million to also shoot in LA, Apple’s ‘Bad Monkey 2’ got $20 million and ‘Untitled Drag Queen Movie’ got $1.6 million.

Gov. Newsom and California Democrats claim that these massive giveaways to huge studios are vitally necessary to keep the film industry in Los Angeles or it’ll move on to Georgia. That must be why Newsom also exempted Hollywood from pandemic restrictions. But it doesn’t explain why he shut down virtually everything except those same Hollywood productions.

California Democrats have gone after virtually every major industry in the state, starving agriculture industries of water through environmental restrictions, dismantling trucking with a ban on freelance workers, taxing and banning oil and gas, and shoving out defense industries, all the while raising business taxes through the roof and sending companies fleeing to Texas.

Yet when it comes to Hollywood, Gov. Newsom and his legislative supermajority claim that keeping this particular industry in California is so vital that no amount of subsidies is too great. State Democrats are willing to slash education spending just to keep movies in California.

And yet Hollywood’s actual impact on California is limited.

Despite false industry claims, Hollywood tax credits are a consistent net loss for the states that offer them. States don’t offer tax credits because they have any meaningful impact, but because the film industry is glamorous, its lobbyists keep calling and celebrities keep writing checks.

Even the vastly inflated Hollywood estimates of jobs created and money spent is in the thousands (unless you also count their absurd numbers of ‘background performers’ or extras) compared to 130,000 truck drivers, whom California Democrats have been chasing out of the state, and over 4 million small businesses of which a third were shuttered by pandemic restrictions.

Gov. Newsom and California Democrats didn’t even blink at killing 7,500 small businesses during the pandemic, which employed far more people than the Hollywood productions do. If they really cared about jobs, they’d be providing massive tax breaks for some of those small businesses instead of writing $20 million checks to Disney and Netflix to “create jobs”.

Perversely, Hollywood lobbies keep demanding more subsidies because of the supposed impact that the pandemic had on their productions that they still haven’t “recovered” from even five years later. But of all the businesses in the state, Hollywood studios had the fewest restrictions on their behavior. That’s why small cafes had to close and watch while Hollywood crews set up craft services in their parking lots.

Hollywood had so much influence that when LA slapped a lockdown on everyone, and asked productions to avoid stirring up bad feelings by restricting filming to the same hours as other businesses, industry anger forced cringing officials to withdraw their request and only asked them “to voluntarily limit and/or avoid activities likely to invite a negative community response”.

Small businesses in LA did not get requests to “voluntarily” do anything. They had their power and other utilities cut off if they did not comply. The general public was not issued voluntary requests to wear masks or stay out of parks. Instead, California Democrat officials chained off entire areas, blocked park benches and set out to criminalize any lockdown dissent.

Except for Hollywood.

Gov. Newsom and California officials declared that “workers supporting the film, television and commercial production industry” were “essential for the state’s critical infrastructure.” It did not clarify which part of California’s “critical infrastructure” the movies and bad sitcoms made up.

The double standard was obscenely corrupt then and it’s corrupt now.

5 years after receiving unprecedented exemptions, Gov. Newsom and California Democrats are providing unprecedented subsidies to Hollywood because of their supposed pandemic suffering.

“Hollywood workers have endured a difficult last few years, starting with the pandemic,” the LA Times claimed in defending Newsom’s $750 million in subsidies.

What about the rest of the state’s workers and the millions of jobs that were lost there? And many of those, unlike “background performers”, were actual good lifelong jobs.

Hollywood productions don’t even create stable jobs because of their erratic nature. They’re even less stable (and often more abusive) than the Uber and Lyft.jobs that California Democrats had declared war on and have tried to regulate out of existence. But they are heavily unionized.

And the top players are major funders of Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Democrat majority.

Gov. Newsom is not proposing to double tax credits for Hollywood because of the economic benefits to the state, but the economic benefits to his future presidential campaign. Democratic presidential campaigns live and die by the money they gain from three industries: Hollywood, Wall Street and Silicon Valley. That was why Biden and Kamala had so many Hollywood fundraisers. Now Gov. Newsom is bribing Hollywood with $750 million in taxpayer money in the hopes that they’ll pay at least 10% of that forward to his 2028 presidential campaign.

We Do Need to Return to the Past

By Rich Kozlovich 

Editor's Note: I originally published this on Sep 30, 2022, and it's been hit lately so given what's happening, I thought it worthwhile to republish it now with some updated points.  RK

On September 29, 2022 Steven Hayward posted this article and video, Thought for the Day: Populism Galls Galston saying:

William Galston, the liberal columnist for the Wall Street Journal‘s editorial page (they always like to have one around) writing every so gently yesterday on the need for Democrats to pay attention to the legitimate grievances of populism lest they get buried in a populist electoral tide:

“Powerful forces in the Democratic coalition oppose crafting the sort of moderate policies that could win back these [working class] voters. But if Democrats refuse to compromise, the alternative may be something like the recent right-wing populist surges in Europe.”

Good luck with that compromising, Bill. The progressives own the Democratic Party now, and are in no mood to compromise.  (start video at the 25 second mark):

His argument about returning government back to 1920 levels is a logical fallacy. No one is suggesting that so it's a non sequitur, simply a distraction to avoid attacking the outrageous size of large government and it's abuses of the Constitution, which have been massive, corrupt, and so often fraudulent in nature. 

But the fact is there's no reason why the federal government should have over two million employees, and that doesn't include all the contractors or grant recipients, especially in the scientific community where government grant money has made scientific integrity an oxymoron. 

If the Departments of Commerce, Labor, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation and especially the Department of Education were totally eliminated that would only amount to about 52,500 employees.   So, please don't tell me the remaining 1,947,463 employees are really all that necessary, especially since the vast majority work in the defense/intelligence community, and we're seeing the consequences of that, as noted in this piece by Dan Mitchell of an out of control FBI and Department of Justice.   

We're now finding the FBI is deliberately hiding documents the new AG Pam Bondi has ordered released, and whistle blowers are claiming the FBI is destroying evidence!   Not to mention the abuses of the and , all of which has led to a massive levels of

That doesn't count those actually serving in the military, about another million and a half, along with another eight hundred thousand reservists.

Maybe we should be demanding 1920 levels of government, and those reductions should include local and state governments, which currently employs another 16 million people, then maybe we can return to the past and get a 1950 level of government as a compromise.

"If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my children may have peace." - Thomas Paine

You know that little voice in your head that keeps you from saying the things you shouldn't say?  Yeah, well, I don't have that!  

By Rich Kozlovich

Over the years I've written about every issue that impacts humanity, and as a result Paradigms and Demographics is hit from all over the world.   Currently I've had over 128,000 hits for this month, and if that trend continues there would be over 180,000 hits for October.  But I'm always dubious of how these stats are created, so who knows.  

I've said in the past that I didn't place too much stock in this because there's no way I can track what subjects they're interested in.  Once a reader logs into P&D that creates a hit.  But once logged in they can then pick and choose what they're reading without creating any further hits.  How much impact I've had on people's views is subjective, but there have been times when I do think I made a difference. 

A number of years ago Bulgarian readers started hitting P&D a lot, and for a few weeks. As I said, I can't always tell what my readers are interested in, but I had been posting a large number of links to articles dealing with fracking, mostly from Steve Milloy’s Junkscience.com, and - lo and behold - the number of hits on those posts and a large readership from Bulgaria ran concurrently. About two weeks later there was a strong movement to overturn the Bulgarian government’s anti-fracking policy. Did P&D have anything to do with that? I have no way of knowing, but one can only hope. 

The previous winter had been extremely cold in Eastern Europe and a number of people froze to death due to a lack of energy. Sufficient natural gas, readily available, would have prevented those deaths. More lives lost due to environmentalist's scaremongering and posturing about CO2 levels and global warming, and that's the tip of the iceberg. 

For years I rarely had any hits from mainland China, but about that same time Chinese readership started showing up, and then disappeared almost entirely, and remains so now. 

Ukraine readers also started showing interest about that time, and since I post so many articles about tyranny, socialism and its ills, I wondered what impact that had with Ukrainians.  Given what's going on it now it appears none of that mattered.

Initially Paradigms and Demographics was an anti-green blog, and it was my intent to keep it ‘green only’! However, as time went by I found it was impossible to separate ‘green’ from ‘left’. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union environmentalism has been the spear point for the imposition of a tyrannous worldwide system of socialistic governance, and it was impossible to ignore.

Many countries that provided regular readers to P&D were all struggling under socialist governments, or have in recent years thrown off the socialist yoke, or are struggling to gain more freedom, but most of the countries governed by tyrants rarely hit P&D.  

When this started I expected to get a lot of attention from English speaking nations, and initially I did, and exchanged e-mails with readers in Canada, Britain and even Germany.  Now, the number of hits I get from Canada, England, New Zealand, and Australia run from few, to never.  I'm convinced P&D is in some way being restricted in these nations, especially when I see them throwing people in prison for refusing to get the covid shots as in Australia, or in England for protesting their immigration policies.

Grandfather Who Was Jailed Over Anti-Immigration Protest Found Dead. A grandfather imprisoned for two years and eight months for taking part in an anti-immigration protest in Rotherham, England, has been found dead in His Majesty's Prison (HMP) Moorland. 

Peter Lynch, 61, carried a placard asserting politicians, police, journalists, and others had been corrupted by the World Economic Forum (WEF), BlackRock, Vanguard, and others at a protest outside a hotel hosting illegal immigrants following the deadly stabbing of three young girls in the town of Southport, allegedly by a migration-background teenager.....

• In the British Commonwealth, the Stasi urge is growing 

But I do get a large number of hits from India, which English is probably a second language there. 

I’ve been told no one reads, or cares what I have to say, and if they do it has no or little impact on people’s thinking.  Perhaps so, and it would be hubris to say otherwise since I have no hard evidence to the contrary, but as I watch the world and see who shows interest in my musings I can’t help but think someone is paying a bit of attention because it appears a substantial number keep coming back.

Perhaps a great number of people really are paying attention, and perhaps not.  But here's the issue, heterodoxy isn't for the faint of heart.  It has been my experience in life that very often people think thoughts they’re afraid to say, or unwilling to say in order to avoid conflict and confrontation. 

But those thoughts need to be said by someone, and I think it is important for those people to see it being said. I think most people are convinced what they believe is right, especially when it comes to all these destructive social issues, but they just can't seem to develop the intellectual argument to articulate and defend their positions against the unending drumbeat of leftist propaganda from those in power and in the media. 

Every issue facing humanity has a historical foundation and an historical context. And everything we are told should bear some resemblance to what we see going on in reality. If the issue under discussion fails in either of these criteria, it’s wrong. All that is left to do is develop the intellectual argument to explain why it’s wrong. I provide that intellectual argument, and I've been told by prominent writers I do it well, and I hope that's true. 

But either way, people can now choose to use those arguments, ignore those arguments or even challenge them. But now they have a choice, and honest hearted people need those choices. They're the ones I seek!

This is a battle to overturn propaganda, lies, misrepresentations, and hypocrisy.  Win or lose, this is the battle of our time. It's the battle that must be fought! 

 “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo."So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

The left, including the green movement, wins the battle of emotions, they always have. We win the battle of facts, we always have. To win the war we must win the battle of emotions and the battle of facts, and being loved isn’t going to be a part of that.  

"If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my children may have peace.". Thomas Paine

We no longer know or understand history.  We substitute real history with leftist propaganda and call it history.  No one reads books any longer, especially history books.  We are an entire population that's been beguiled by the main stream media too lazy to find out the truth, yet because of the internet we have access to more information from more sources than any population in history.  Through a "philosophy of indifference" we've foolishly allowed these enemy citizens of America "to have their way [and] to grow strong and vicious"! 

The patterns of life repeat over and over again.  People will always be people.  Corruption is the offspring of power, and if that power goes unchecked, then the true child of power emerges:  Tyranny!

Defending (One Version of) Class Warfare

October 15, 2024 by Dan Mitchell @ International Liberty

I normally despise people who promote class warfare.

Assuming someone has earned money honestly (and not via cronyism, bailouts, subsidies, protectionism, or industrial policy), I don’t care if that person earns millions of dollars or billions of dollars.

Indeed, I applaud their success since the rest of us actually capture most of the value created by successful entrepreneurs.

This explains why I have so much disdain when politicians like Biden and Harris promote hate-and-envy tax policy. And why I am equally critical of the class-warfare agenda of left-wing bureaucracies such as the OECD and IMF.

I oppose class warfare because it is very bad for prosperity. And it is disgustingly immoral.

But I have one exception. Though it deals with punishment rather than taxation.

Here are some excerpts from a column in the Washington Post. Authored by Lee Hockstader, it defends the way some European nations hit rich people with very high penalties (called “day fines”) when they speed.

…income-based penalties for speeding and other relatively minor criminal infractions seem a straightforward progressive idea, in line with other redistributive policies that prevail across much of Europe. What began as an egalitarian-inspired policy in Scandinavia now applies in more than half the European Union’s 27 member countries, plus Norway and some others outside the E.U. …Last year, a rich businessman in Finland who exceeded the approximately 30 mph speed limit by 20 mph was assessed a fine of about $130,000. …

Finland’s income-based system, Europe’s first, was enacted in 1921. Over the years, violators who made headlines there by being hit with punitive fines — which also apply to shoplifting and securities-exchange infractions, among others — include a National Hockey League player and a Nokia executive. …The European countries that have adopted day fines apply them to a variety of violations — theft, fraud, drug crimes, even minor sex offenses. In the case of traffic enforcement, they often kick in for major speeding violations.

Hockstader prefers the European approach over the American approach.

…day fines have one big advantage over the one-size-fits-all variety, which is widely enshrined in the United States. Fixed fines are regressive, disproportionately hurting the poor. That argument should register in the United States, where legal sanctions are often assessed without regard to social justice — or where they exact a disproportionately heavy toll on the poor and minorities, as a 2015 Justice Department report on Ferguson, Mo., showed.

This will sound strange since I frequently argue that we should not copy Europe (including a column just two days ago), but I’m sympathetic to Hockstader’s argument.

But that’s because I understand that both taxes and fines are a deterrent. That being said, I don’t want to deter good things (earning money), but I do want to deter bad things (committing crimes).

And a $100 fine may have a big deterrent effect on a poor person but it will be utterly irrelevant to a rich person.

Before anyone accuses me of being a leftist, allow me to stress that my main motive is protecting low-income people, not hurting rich people. I find it reprehensible that many state and local governments aggressively figure out ways to take money from the less fortunate.

I’ll close with a very important caveat. I don’t want to treat rich people as badly as poor people. I want everyone treated equally and humanely.

Here are the three principles that I outlined in 2020 when addressing the same issue.

• Have fewer nuisance laws that lead to fines, fees, and charges.

  

• Have income-based fines for things we want to deter, but at a modest level for rich and poor alike.
• Perhaps most important, control government spending so politicians have less incentive to grab more money from people.

The bottom line is that I don’t want government to screw over poor people, just as I don’t want government to screw over middle-class people or rich people. Or to screw over me.

P.S. I also addressed this issue in 2010 and 2015.

Harris-Walz: Joy and Freedom – or Misery and Tyranny?

Paul Driessen  Sep 14, 2024

Kamala Harris desperately wants to be “unburdened by what has been” – the Biden-Harris policies she helped develop and implement. She wants voters to focus on the “joy” and “freedom” she insists would be America’s future if voters elect her, Tim Walz and their Biden-Harris-Obama “advisors.”

However, she was the “last person in the room” with President Biden for major decisions and is super-glued to what she says are “still my values” about energy, climate, immigration, rioters and police. 

She cannot run away from the horrendous Biden-Harris record on energy and food price inflation; letting illegal immigrants, criminals, spies, terrorists, child, sex and drug traffickers stream into our country; weaponizing federal agencies against political opponents and private citizens; and the Afghanistan departure debacle that killed thirteen US service members and left 90% of our Afghan allies behind.

As a 2019 presidential candidate she supported taxpayer-funded “gender-transitions” for illegal migrants. In 2020, Senator Harris was ranked to the left of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Vice President Harris proudly cast the deciding “yea” vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, the massive $4-trillion spending spree on “Green New Deal” wind, solar and battery projects. The list goes on and on.

That’s why she’s dodging interviews and presenting platitudes instead of policies. All with the happy collusion of legacy and social media and ABC debate moderators. All while anonymous campaign staffers assert that she no longer plans to ban fracking, offshore drilling, gasoline cars, gas stoves, plastic straws – or free speech by anyone who might question or criticize her policies.

Perhaps her nameless staffers are correct. Harris-Walz might not ban fossil fuel production and use. They might not ban misinformation, disinformation and “malinformation” from experts and citizens who disagree with administration assertions and policies.

But Harris-Walz and its Deep State bureaucrats don’t have to outright ban anything. They could just tax, regulate, delay, denounce, disincentivize, coerce, threaten and penalize our energy, freedoms and living standards into oblivion.

They could continue the Biden-Harris practice of using the FBI, IRS and Justice Department to harass, intimidate, prosecute and jail political opponents. They could continue colluding with the media and Big Tech to amplify Democrat viewpoints and marginalize opposing views.

Ms. Harris insists that her “values” and “concerns” haven’t changed. But even her official website says nothing about what her policies would be. It says only that she would create an “opportunity economy,” provide a pathway to the middle class, end price gouging (she called it “price gauging”), champion other progressive causes, and ensure Israel’s right and ability to “defend itself” (but “it matters how” Israel does so, and she will dictate those terms), while helping the Palestinian people “realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.”

Nowhere does her website or recent debate performance explain how she would make any of this happen.

Ms. Harris’s proclamations about lowering energy costs and tackling the climate crisis are equally vacuous and specifics-free. We learn only that Harris-Walz would build on the “historic work” and “international climate leadership” launched by Biden-Harris, to “unite Americans” in tackling the global climate crisis, lower skyrocketing Biden-Harris-era energy costs, “advance environmental justice,” hold polluters accountable, create millions of new jobs, and increase resilience to climate disasters. 

How she would actually convert that pablum into her promised utopia remains a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a word salad. Equally unclear is why the sitting Vice President has made little or no effort to change the Administration’s disastrous energy, economic, immigration and foreign policies. There’s still time for policy reversals and executive orders; Ms. Harris simply has no interest in seeking them.

What is clear is that she doesn’t want to talk about what she would actually do as president – and that the mush posted on her website was mostly copied and pasted from the Biden-for-President 2024 website. However, the posts clearly show Harris-Walz would inflict more economic, domestic and global chaos.

President Trump should have driven all these points home during the debate. He failed to do so. Now his interviews, campaign ads, rally speeches, and JD Vance speeches and interviews must do so – and show how they will fix our energy, economic, immigration, and Middle East, Russia and China problems.

A closer look at the Harris climate and energy record provides valuable information for voters.

Senator Harris co-sponsored the 2019 Green New Deal legislation, which would have “fundamentally transformed” America’s entire economy, in the name of fighting “dangerous climate change.” During her 2020 presidential run, she advocated a total transition to electric vehicles (personal, commercial and transport) by 2035. She supports mandating electric stoves and home and water heating.

Her all-electric economy would require tripling electricity generation – while her plans to replace coal and gas power plants with massive wind and solar installations would cause reliable, affordable electricity to plummet. Soaring prices for unpredictable, weather-dependent home, hospital, business and factory electricity would be paired with repeated blackouts, chaos, and heatwave and frigid-weather deaths.

Eliminating coal and gas power plants would also mean replacing their reliable, affordable baseload and backup electricity with enormous grid-backup battery installations costing tens or hundreds of trillions of dollars – and posing constant risks of chemical-fueled infernos.

Ms. Harris remains enthralled by “climate equity” and “environmental justice” – to address the disparate impacts the “climate crisis” allegedly has on women and people of color.

She would ban plastic straws but is committed to wind and solar technologies that create millions of times more plastic and fiberglass-epoxy trash that cannot be recycled and ends up in enormous landfills.

A single 350-feet-long offshore wind turbine blade weighs 140,000 pounds. The Biden-Harris green energy plan calls for 30,000 megawatts of offshore turbines – 2,500 turbines with 7,500 blades. The US Department of Energy says generating 20% of America’s electricity from wind would require 54,000 MW of offshore turbines; that’s 4,500 turbines with 13,500 blades weighing a combined 1.9 billion pounds!

Has she calculated how many plastic straws (or plastic bags) the United States and world would have to banish to equal that offshore wind trash – much less the entirety of Green New Deal trash?

VP candidate Tim Walz is equally radical on these and other issues. He opposes fracking, supports banning gasoline vehicles, and signed a law requiring that Minnesota generate only “carbon-free” electricity by 2040. Even without including the exorbitant price of grid-backup batteries for windless-sunless periods, that law will likely cost his state nearly $350 billion.”

The Harris-Walz “New Way Forward” on energy, climate and the economy has no connection to reality. It is devoid of any mathematical, engineering or even ecological analysis. It is a disaster waiting for ill-informed voters to inaugurate next January.

Joy and Freedom? Harris-Walz is a highway to Misery and Tyranny.

The Trump-Vance campaign team, candidates for other political offices and each of us individually must do all we can to ensure America’s voters learn the truth before they cast their ballots.

Tim Walz Hits Keep Right on Coming

By Rich Kozlovich

 

For a start we now absolutely know the  CNN "interview" with Dana Bash was nothing more than a farce, making it impossible for Bash to ever claim she's anything other than a Pravda propaganda hack.  It was a 41 minute interview, a "per-recorded interview",  that only showed 18 minutes, with CNN refusing to release the parts they cut out.  Which according to media professionals isn't the norm, "meaning, CNN was running cover for her in order to make her look better than she really was."

 Now it's being wondered, "if Kamala had to have editorial control of her interview with reporters serving as her handmaids, what does it say about her that she had to cut so much out? This is clearly amateur hour from her side."

As for Tim Walz, many are asking "who vetted this guy"?  His brother says he's  not the one you want making decisions.  They've not spoken for eight years and says there are stories he could tell.  Apparently meaning Walz conduct has been egregious for a long time, but wants to keep his family out of it. 

The problem is he's not any different than Kamala or any of the other "leading" Democrat liars, including MD Gov. Wes Moore who claimed he won the bronze star.  He says he was told he won it and just accepted that.  Well, I served, and when I was being separated I was required to review my awards, and I know what I was eligible for that wasn't listed, and if I'd been told I won a Bronze Star, I would have noticed it was missing.   But, we're expected to believe he didn't notice "his Bronze Star" wasn't listed?   

Now Walz relationship with China is being seriously questioned, wondering if he really is a Manchurian candidate, and it's being wondered if he's ever been on China's payroll.   If there 's smoke, there must be fire, but unless the Pentagon turns over the needed records, it will be difficult to understand what was really going on, and they're stonewalling Congress.  Why? If there's nothing there, then why?  That will be interesting to watch play out.

We also now know he's a persecutor of Christians, as the Governor of Minnesota forcing teachers to abandon their traditional faiths to teach in Minnesota.   As Andrea Widburg states:

Like all good communists, Walz believes the only faith allowed is the one that aligns with the state, and anything that deviates from that will be punished. 

People are what people do, not what they say, and not what the Pravda media says about them.  If their actions are blatantly unconstitutional, that's who they are, and when they're part of a culture of like minded people, it's then culture corruption, and no vile act could possibly offend them.   He's been vetted by those just like him.

And the hits just keep right on coming.  

 

"A Stranger in Town", 1943

By Rich Kozlovich 

Editor's Note:  Some articles are timeless.  This is one of them.  I linked this June, 8, 2021 article in my August 31st P&D and The Week That Was, and it's being hit.  Truth be told, given what's going on I decided to republished it.  And I think I will more often. As I said, it's timeless, the patterns of life repeat over and over again,  people will always be people, corruption is the offspring of power, and if that power goes unchecked, then the true child of power emerges, tyranny!   RK 

One of the nice things about all these internet movie channels is (in spite of the crap there) there are so many of the great movies of the past, and even "B", or "Second Tier" movies were often profound.  I find that's true of a 1943 film I just re-watched called "A stranger in Town", with Frank Morgan of "The Wizard of Oz" fame, who was a talented actor, with the ability to deliver great dialogue.  Such was the case in this movie.

America was in the throes of a two front war in 1943, and for a while America was on its back foot.  The turning point in the Pacific was in June of 1942 with the Battle of Midway, but what followed was an ugly slug fest none the less, and D-Day was yet to come in June of 1944.  This film appeared at the midway point to victory, and most weren't sure how it was going to end.  

This film was considered a "second tier" film and was released to the theaters with  Power of the Press, as the second feature, both of which:

"emphasized patriotism and the commitment of the population to the war effort. These films present situations in which some individuals are acting contrary to the interests of the country and use these transgressions to preach to the audience about their responsibilities as citizens."  

Quite common at that time, and a far cry from what Hollywood produces now, and most assuredly a far cry from what we see coming out of the mouths of celebrities in entertainment, sports, academia, the media and the politicians. 

Morgan plays a Supreme Court Justice on vacation, and incognito, who gets involved in a small town's politics because of the corruption, hence the theme of this movie is the need to fight those in power who are "acting contrary to the interests of the country".  

At the end of the movie the corrupt mayor demands to know who this stranger is that comes to his town causing trouble.  After John Josephus Grant (Morgan), an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court identifies himself, to the chagrin of his detractors, he then answers:

It's only right that you should know why I, a stranger, have become involved in your affairs. Believe me, it's not because I am a Justice of the Supreme Court. It's because, like all of you here, I am a citizen of this country. That is no little honor. 

Men have fought revolutions, have died, to be called "citizen". And as citizens, we carry a burning responsibility. It means that when we elect men to public office, we, we cannot do it as lightly as we flip a coin. It means that after we've elected them we can't sit back and say: "Our job is done. What they do now doesn't concern us." That philosophy of indifference is what the enemies of decent government want. If we allow them to have their way to grow strong and vicious, then the heroic struggle which welded thousands of lovely towns like this into a great nation means nothing. Then we're not citizens, we're traitors. 

The great liberties by which we live have been bought with blood. The kind of government we get is the kind of government we want. Government of the people, by the people and for the people can mean any kind of government. It's our duty to make it mean only one kind - uncorrupted, free, united.

I believe Mayor Connison, that I’ve answered your question. 

What I believe is the America is in crisis.  We've allowed those who hate the American identity, the American culture, the American economic system, and the Constitution to assume power at all levels of government, education, the media, and a judiciary filled with political hacks such as Judge Austin Harkley in this movie.  A judiciary that's completely lost any sense of balance or understanding, and in so many cases is stunningly corrupt, and I include the Supreme Court of the United States.  

We have failed to call to task the elected officials who are clearly enemies of America, enemies who claim conservatives are destroying "our" democracy.   What democracy are they talking about?  The one like the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea?  Because that's "their" Democracy, but that isn't American Democracy, and it isn't "our" democracy, hence the line:

"Government of the people, by the people, and for the people can mean any kind of government." 
"It’s our duty to make it mean only one kind uncorrupted, free, united."

Let's try and get this right, at least once.  Their "Democracy" destroys our "Republic"!

We no longer know or understand history.  We substitute real history with leftist propaganda and call it history.  No one reads books any longer, especially history books.  We are an entire population that's been beguiled by the main stream media too lazy to find out the truth, yet because of the internet we have access to more information from more sources than any population in history.  Through a "philosophy of indifference" we've foolishly allowed these enemy citizens of America "to have their way [and] to grow strong and vicious"!  

And we wonder:  How did it all go wrong? 

Kamala The Borg Queen

If it walks like a communist, and if it talks like a communist, it's a communist.

The media is doing everything it can to transform Kamala from the twit they all knew her to be, into a miraculous Democrat messianic domestic and foreign relations genius, and the media has abandoned the stunningly small vestiges of integrity they had left.  And you thought with Biden, it just couldn't have gotten any worse.

1. Pro-Kamala Media Ridicule Her Economic Plans: ‘Gimmicks,’ ‘Not Sensible’
2. Exclusive — McCormick: Biggest Problem in PA is Big Government Embraced by Harris-Walz and Bob Casey
3. WaPo’s Rampell: Casey’s ‘Gouging’ Bill Is ‘Kind of Thing’ Venezuela, Soviets Tried

She's promising to give America away, but remember, she's giving nothing to anyone.  The public is being gouged in order for her to give our money away, massively, to those who are undeserving, lazy, corrupt, criminal, and incompetent.  All undeserving including, and especially illegal aliens.  I ask you this.  If given the choice, would you willingly give these leeches your money?  If the answer's no, then why would you allow her to steal it from you to give it to them?  Perhaps we should ask the New Yorkers who can't afford to flee to Florida or Texas if they like spending $5.5 Billion on New York City’s agencies and landlords to house illegal immigrants. 

Kamala is the the Borg Queen from Star Trek, and if she's elected, she will do all she can to turn America into a tyrannous Marxist state.  

Resistance is futile, you will obey, and you will serve. 

Are you willing for that to be your life?  Are you ready for that to be your life?  Her promises are not only empty, but stupid, and disastrous, and it's clear she's a economic ignoramus surrounded by those who are even less competent. 

She rails against price gouging, but let's take a look at the alleged gouging profit margins of one prominent grocery chain.  That's not gouging.  If Kamala starts setting economic boundaries, on food, you had better get ready for food lines and shortages, right along with shortages on drugs, and housing.  Just like it was in the USSR, and it will destroy the force of nature America capitalism is when allowed to innovate and create wealth.   Where in the Constitution does it give Kamala the legal authority to confiscate drug patents in order to control pricing?  End result, no new drugs.  

I was an exterminator for forty years, owning my own company for thirty, and over thirty years ago it cost 300 million dollars to bring a pesticide to market.  One year Bayer tested 25 compounds, and none of them made it to market, that costs....big time.   It costs billions to bring a drug to market!   That money has to be recovered, along with the equivalent amount, and far more for future research for the development of new drugs, and the manufacturers want to make a lot of money.   If there is no money, there is no product!

If you're a moral person that should bother you, since many will not be able to afford these life saving drugs. While we all want perfection, perfection isn't possible, it's never been possible.   So, if you're a rational person you MUST recognize the best we can hope for is the most acceptable imperfection, and that's capitalism.  So, again, if there's no money, there's no product.  It really is that simple.  

We need to take the long view of all this understanding when these products go out of patent the costs will drop dramatically and untold millions of lives will be saved that wouldn't have been saved if these products were never developed.  But those compounds had to be paid for first. 

Ignore the hype and rigged polls, Kamala isn't resonating with America, and without rock stars at her rally, she can barely fill a room.  Catholics are finally getting the message the Democrats hate them, and now we find Congress is investigating Walz for his Chinese communist ties. 

And the hits just keep right on coming.  

Truth is Always an Absolute Defense, Unless You Live in the UK

By Rich Kozlovich

Europe recently had their 2024 elections, and Herodotus was right.  Culture is king.  Britain has always had a socialist foundation, and since the Tories failed to Bring Britain Back Better, the Brits turned to Labour, and I've no doubt they're already regretting it.

If there ever was an argument for eliminating the British monarchy, the King’s Speech is it.  He doesn't write it, he has no say about what goes in it, as the government sets policy, not the King, so, the presiding government writes it and allows him to read it, but the truth of the matter is, Charlie is a nitwit and is probably in total harmony with it. 

I don't think so much as the wanted to reward Labour as they really.... I mean really...  wanted to punish the Tories, who seriously deserved it.  That nitwit former Torrie Prime Minister Sunak even broke his promised to "ban the Communist Chinese satellite propaganda Confucius Institutes in the latest brazen attempt to curry favour with Beijing. Despite promising during the Tory leadership contest last year to ban Confucius Institutes, which are directly funded by the CCP’s propaganda department, from operating in Britain".  He couldn't even bring himself to eliminate spies and cultural saboteurs from the nation. 

The UK Tories are the equivalent of American RINO's, constantly talking the talk and failing to walk the talk, and it's deliberate.  Lie to the base, promise them what they want to hear, and then sell them down the river. So, why didn't they turn to Farage's Reform party? 

The question to better ask is why did Farage wait so long to throw his hat in the ring?  At this point the Reform party is like a third party in the US, and Brit society is unsure of them.  As it turns out the polls predicting a big Reform party win were wrong.  But perhaps only in their conclusions.  

 

The Brits may like them but are still not sure of them, and didn't embrace them nearly as much as they could have, but that may change very quickly, and the Reform Party outright rejected the Tories offer to form a coalition.  They believe they're the future, and the Tories are heading to the ash heap of history. 

Farage now has a seat in Parliament and he's going to drive the all other parties crazy as he thrives on confrontation, and is a master of brilliant spontaneous dialogue and logic. The Brits love that!  They don't like to see or hear speeches in Parliament with speakers with notes.

 

As I've said, Farage thrives on confrontation, is a deft speaker, and will drive the opposing party's crazy with his logic.  If you have any doubt, here's a speech he gave when he was in a member of the EU Parliament, and Farage didn't enter the Parliament to be a peace maker with his adversaries.  He came to defeat them.  Resoundingly, because he understands, this is a war.

• Mr. ‘Steele Dossier’ is Back! Now Slinging Mud at Farage
• Christopher Steele peddles another ‘Russia collusion’ hoax, points the finger at English protesters, Nigel Farage, and Tommy Robinson
  

So, as Labour pushes all the usual leftist ideology of taxing the wealthy, globalism, global warming, transgenderism, zero tolerance for "Islamophobia", and I think more Muslim immigration since they catered to their Muslim population for votes, in a short time I think Forage's party party will surge in the polls.  He understands this is the first step in becoming PM. And given that Britain’s New Labour Party Prime Minister Does Not Know if a Woman Can Have a Penis, ya just gotta think he's not facing vertebrates who are the brightest pebbles in the brook.

 

In this 1984 article about KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov's predictions, the author notes: predicted the events I will be outlining in this article.    The selective enforcement of the nation's laws, to move the nation to communist rule.  Bringing Muslims who are expected to act just as they do in the Middle East, violently in support of Islam, murdering, raping, brutalizing innocent people.  

 

The state then would exact "hate speech" laws, impose censorship, blame those who state the truth about all this violence and crime by Muslims.  Claiming they're the ones promoting the violence.  In effect saying they're forcing Muslims to be violent and thus, they're blameless.  It's the ethnic Brits who are at fault because they're vile criminal racists.  Anyone who says anything that offends a Muslim is guilty, and needs to be punished.  In effect overturning the entire foundations of western culture.

 

The author notes their real motivation behind all this saying:

 

This pattern of subversion is evident in many Western countries, where governments have simultaneously adopted similar restrictions on liberties to address problems they themselves have created. In other words, they create the problem fully aware of its consequences, then use those consequences to justify enacting policies that consolidate power away from the individual and toward the state.

 

America has poured out untold gallons of America blood, and billions of dollars to keep Europe alive since WWI, and it was wasted.   Kurt Schlichter posted this article, Europe Can Buzz Right Off, on Aug 15th saying:

 

You’ve got British toadies threatening to extradite American citizens for speaking freely and some dork at the European Union threatening an American citizen for daring to have an online interview with one of America’s two major party presidential candidates. That’s going to go over well....The United States and its alleged European allies used to have something in common......  

 

Americans are proud and free citizens who refuse to kneel with the guns to make sure we never have to.....  Europeans can submit like sniveling, craven serfs. Not us – and don’t call us to bail you out again either........it’s pretty obvious that Europe is no longer part of the Free World and that it doesn’t want to be........

Rotherham, also a Labour stronghold, is best known internationally for the infamous grooming gang scandal, in which at least 1,400 girls — some as young as nine — were groomed by Pakistani child rape gangs for years as the local Labour council and other officials turned a blind eye to the abuse over fears of being seen as racist......(Which I cover more later on. RK)

View on TwitteOn Sunday, former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf suggested that the government deploy the army to put down the anti-immigration protesters. “This pogrom against Muslims and People of Colour is going to cost lives unless these far-right thugs are stopped,” he said in response to the riot at the Rotherham migrant hotel.
Keir Starmer and his team of Trump-Hating, Anti-Brexit cabinet members "has claimed to have moderated the Labour Party from the far-left extremes under his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn, however, others warn that the former socialist activist turned PM has merely been obscuring his true revolutionary intentions."  What I will be presenting will show just how true that is.  Let's start with economics, as that's always an Achilles heel for the left, since they're unendingly clueless about good economics, and foundationally greedy to steal what others have earned, starting with this commentary, U.K. Labour’s Campaign Promises Against Tax Hikes Evaporate, saying:

The UK economy grew fractionally in the first half of 2024, in line with the expectations of economists. Nevertheless, the Chancellor of the Exchequer — in office for little over a month since July’s General Election — continues the doom-and-gloom rhetoric, leading to accusations she is trying to soften up the country for an ideologically inspired tax grab despite repeated promises at election-time not to.

With leftists there's never enough taxes, never enough spending, never enough control, never enough power, because they're voracious, and voraciousness can never be satisfied, it's a hunger that cannot be quenched.   They will steal all they can steal, and borrow all they can borrow, and now they're wanting to take private property without paying market price, in order to buy public support by stealing the wealth families accumulate and redistributing it according to their likes via another inheritance tax.  After all, they're really communists at heart and communists all know the government owns everything.  

 All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state. Benito Mussolini

They may have won the election,  but they're going to destroy the economy, as the Labour party will continue to promote all the far left secular religious tenets, all of which will cost billions, and will deliver zilch.  

The UK Slide into Tyranny 

Riots have broken out in Britain over the criminal behavior of immigrant Muslims, and it's going to get much worse. We'll come back to that, but in the meantime remember the prediction by Yuri Bezmenov where governments will be enacting policies that consolidate power away from the individual and toward the state to fix problems they created fully aware of its consequences, then use those consequences to justify tyranny. 

The British government is eyeing a crackdown social media, "while a member of the public has been arrested for “inaccurate social media” post, and a Covid-era government spy team monitoring the public for “disinformation” has been brought back."

• UK's Slide into Totalitarianism: A Grim Echo of Communist Regimes -  Billy Thompson, a father of young children, has been unjustly imprisoned for 12 weeks simply for expressing his opinion during a Facebook conversation with a family member, a shocking example of the UK’s descent into totalitarianism where free speech is criminalized and dissent is brutally punished. In a chilling display of the UK’s increasing descent into totalitarianism, a 31-year-old father, Billy Thompson from Maryport, was arrested and sentenced to 12 weeks in prison for merely expressing an opinion on Facebook to a family member. This draconian action is an unsettling reminder of the practices common in communist regimes, where dissent is swiftly and harshly punished.
• A Chilling of Speech in the U.K. That Would Make Stalin Proud August 11, 2024 - In case you haven’t heard, the Mother Country is finished. Under their new Communist prime minister, COVID-era censorship of social media has been resurrected. It’s not just censorship; it’s imprisonment for writing anything online that the government dislikes. Do you think the British can vote this tyranny down next time? There is no next time. .......  Our soon-to-be elected or selected Vice Puppet has already made it clear that censorship will be the policy of the United States, very soon...... Tim Walz openly calls for censorship. He has said that the government must “push back” against “hate speech,” and he made it clear that the words of Trump supporters, whom he has called fascists, certainly do constitute hate speech (meaning: disagreement). What will “pushing back” mean in practice, after next January 20 — or even sooner, if they push Biden out of the White House?......

• UK Establishment Media Clamour for Censorship over Anti-Migration Riots - Establishment media in Britain, in an apparent attempt to deflect from the underlying issues facing the UK, have sought to blame social media for the anti-mass migration riots while urging the government to enact more stringent censorship measures.

Included in the law was a right to “academic freedom” including the guaranteed ability to “question and test received wisdom, and to put forward new ideas and controversial or unpopular opinions”.................

Anti-Immigration Riots 

These riot were triggered by the stabbing death of three girls, and the critical wounding of five others by a 17 year old Muslim born in the UK, and the government is outraged so many are rioting over this.  But the fact is, what they should be amazed at is the amazing multi-year tolerance of the British people.  

• For this is a tale of two Englands.  A 13 year old girl was being raped by a Muslim sex grooming gang, and by 15, Victoria Agoglia was already dead of a heroin overdose injected by the 50-year-old Muslim pedophile who had been abusing her. Today, she would have been a woman. Unlike Meghan Markle, Victoria never got the opportunity to marry a prince or even grow up. And while the media weeps for Markle, who is departing for Canada because of some tabloid tales, the story of Victoria, once again in the news because of the release of an independent report on the sex grooming gangs of Manchester, shows what true social injustice looks like. It’s not bad publicity for a celebrity.   It’s a girl who was abandoned to the worst imaginable abuses because intervening would have been politically incorrect.  
• Telford Girl Abused by up to 70 Paedophiles Speaks Out After Fresh Hope of Justice for Town’s Sex Victims - A girl abused by up to 70 paedophiles has been given fresh hope of justice thanks to the Sunday Mirror’s Telford child sex exposé.  The victim, who we are calling Amy, today speaks out for the first time about how she was raped at 12 and made pregnant when she was just 13. She suffered four years of abuse and faced death threats but just one man was convicted.  Now, thanks to our probe, the teenager has been told she has grounds to take others to court.  Amy – whose ordeal only ended when she fled Telford aged 16 – said: “All I want is justice, because the men who raped me are walking around scot free. “They stole my childhood. I am terrified they’re doing what they did to me to other innocent young girls in Telford.  “Every time I’m home, I bump into someone who has abused me and it makes me feel sick to my stomach..............
• Leftists Own the UK's Grooming Gang Crisis and Tommy Robinson's Prison - It takes a village to destroy a child. The Left built that village.  Her broad, sunny smile fairly bursts through the photograph. Her joy is so bright you almost squint.  She is a child, innocent of life. Charlene Downes was 14 in 2003. She's been missing ever since. During a trial, jurors heard a tape in which a suspect stated that he chopped up her body and cooked it into kebabs. The case was tossed out because of problems with the gathering of evidence. Charlene's sister, Emma, was later tried for "racially aggravated assault." Emma slapped the face of the murder suspect's brother. Emma was convicted for her crime. ......
• Rape Gangs Whistleblower: Police and Council Leaders Must Be Prosecuted for ‘Gross Neglect of Duty’ - Maggie Oliver, a former detective who blew the whistle on the authorities’ refusal to tackle mostly-Muslim rapist “grooming gangs” in Manchester, England, has called for senior police officers and social workers to be prosecuted amid further abuse revelations. Oliver, who now leads the Maggie Oliver Foundation supporting abuse survivors, spoke out in an article for The Telegraph following an independent review into child sexual exploitations (CSE) in multicultural Bradford which found, yet again, that police, social workers, and local government had failed victims — and that, more worryingly, some children “remain unprotected”.............
• In Rotherham child sex abuse files go missing from council archive, it's noted: It’s an all-out attack on the West, and those whom we have entrusted with our safety, our lives, our way of life have all but surrendered. How are these Muslim sex gangs in the UK any different from the raping and trafficking of non-Muslim girls in Iraq and Syria by the Islamic State? The only difference is geography….a desire to keep “good relations” with the local Pakistani community and a worry about “reputational risk” for the council also caused officers to turn a blind eye.  And now the files have “disappeared.” ........  .
• UK: Muslim rape gang leader strolls around near the scene of his crimes after serving half of his sentence

And that's just a small list.  The list of these vile acts by these abuser is large, and with the abuses these poor young girls are suffering, and will continue to suffer for all of the rest of their lives, it's sickening.   These men are vile ravenous beasts with no mercy or sense of decency.   They're wolves turned loose on the flock by the shepherds who are sworn to protect them, and they need to be called to account.

• London: Massive Crowds Gather to Hear Geert Wilders Demand Tommy Robinson’s Release - “It’s so good to see so many of you here today, you are all heroes for being here today,” said the Freedom Party leader, an outspoken critic of radical Islam who rose to second place in the Dutch national elections last year.  Wilders told the crowd he had come to Britain to tell Robinson’s supporters they “will never walk alone” and to “tell the world, and the UK government in particular: Free Tommy Robinson!”  “At this very moment, thousands of people all over the world are demonstrating in front of British embassies, from LA to Sydney, and over half a million people have already signed the petition for Tommy,” he told the crowd.............. 

Tommy Robinson has had to flee Britain.  Is it any wonder the British public views immigration as their top top political concern?  The killing of these young girls may have been the trigger but that gun was loaded a long time ago.  This vile behavior by Muslim immigrants is all over Europe.  The question is when will riots start to break out in the rest of Europe, and it's coming?

And just like Tommy Robinson, you'd better keep your mouth shut or else, because telling the truth is misinformation and the promotion of violence.  

• UK’s Socialist Leader Announces He Will Target and Arrest British Citizens for Promoting “Violence” Online - The same nation that gave the world the Magna Carta and individual rights is now arresting its citizens for retweets. The Magna Carta that was signed by King John of England in 1215 provided the foundation for individual rights in Anglo-American Christian jurisprudence. It is widely known that several provisions in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, such as freedom from unlawful searches and seizures, the right to a speedy trial, the right to a jury trial, the writ of habeas corpus, and protection against loss of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, were inspired by concepts born in the Magna Carta in 1215.  This worked out pretty well for the past 800 years..............

It's bad enough to think England could sink so low, but their arrogance knows no bounds.    They're even threatening to arrest Americans if they dare say anything they don't like, and the Harris/Walz cabal is on board with that.

Islamic UK

 

I wonder when these officials meet to grovel before these Islamists if they ask them what they're going to do to stop all the murders, rapes, and violence Muslims are committing in the UK?   Nah, what could I be thinking, that's racist, Islamophobic, xenophobic, and simply unacceptably unwoke. 

• UK First Minister Tells Muslims the Government ‘Is On Their Side’ During Mosque Visit  - A national leader in the UK, in a visit to a mosque in Edinburgh on Monday, told Muslims in the country that the government is “on their side” as civil strife in response to mass migration broke out in England and Northern Ireland over the past week. First Minister John Swinney, the head of the locally-devolved leftist government in the nation of Scotland — one of four nations in the United Kingdom — met with Muslim community leaders at the Edinburgh Central Mosque to express the state’s solidarity with the Islamic community..........

As it turns out all this catering to Muslims and justifying their behavior isn't playing well with the public.  Some of the unwoke Brits are calling for Labour’s Jess Phillips  to resign for rationalizing Muslim violence, but never fear, there's no bottom to the left's invertebrate capitulation and debasement:

• The Leftist UK Government Announces Mosque ‘Emergency Security’ Measures Amid Anti-Mass Migration Unrest - However, the month-old government has already faced accusations of disparities in the handling of riots in minority communities, as was seen last month in Leeds, and those over the past week against mass migration. There have also been accusations that police have taken a softer approach towards apparent roaming groups of Islamic vigilantes colloquially referred to on social media as the “Muslim Defence League.” Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe said Sunday that police need to treat “everybody fairly and equally” and that they must “apply the same rules to EVERY part of society.” Lowe also argued that Starmer needs to address the underlying cause of the anger and unrest—the elite project of importing millions of foreigners into the country against the wishes of the public—or the prime minister risks fanning the flames further.
• Woke, Islam-Loving UK Govt Mandates Booze-Free Socials for Govt Workers. Really. Staff at Britain's Home Office, roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, have been instructed to make every other social event alcohol-free amid concerns over inclusivity. Sources say senior bureaucrats want to make sure “every other social isn’t the pub” at a time when Muslims—who are forbidden to drink alcohol—are becoming an increasingly large share of the population, particularly in London and other urban centers......
• To keep Muslims happy, the UK’s Labour Party wants to destroy pub culture By Andrea Widburg - One of the things most associated with Great Britain is the pub culture. Seemingly, every novel has a scene in a pub or tavern where the locals gather, not to carouse or drink themselves into a silent, depressed stupor, but, instead, to come together as a community. It is a watering hole offering beer and whiskey—or, as some might say, the very water of life itself. But the UK’s new Labour government is not on board with this ancient culture. And importantly, it’s not waging a war to fight alcohol abuse; rather, it wants to keep Muslims happy.

When the Muslim population reaches a certain level they stop asking for understanding, and start demanding compliance with Sharia.  That was Islam yesterday, it's Islam today, and it will be Islam tomorrow, and we have 1500 years of history to substantiate that, and that history is incontestable.  As Andrea states, and I think correctly, the UK is a dead country walking. 

Then there's Ex-Scottish Leader Humza Yousaf  who has "threatened" to leave the UK over these immigration protests, and claims Elon Musk is wicked and evil, and Musk claims he's a ‘super racist’ against whites.    So, what did he do to address all this Muslim violence?  Nothing as far as I can tell, and claims he "may leave" because he fears for his family, so he's gonna leave.....maybe.   Well, who knows, maybe he can move to where all the Hollywood nitwits moved to when they threatened to leave America if Americans have the audacity to elect Donald Trump.   A threat that never seems to materialize since they do it ever four years.  So, go, please....go already. 

One Labour Party politician has claimed they're gutlessly ignoring the problem all this Muslim immigration has brought to England, and there will be an accounting for that at some point, and they be reaching it now.  And or course, there's Israel.  Can't properly appease those Muslims without finding some way to attack Israel, so, Britain’s Labour Govt Ends Opposition to Netanyahu ICC Arrest Warrant.  

Here are three commentaries of my own discussing the continued existence of the England that defeated Adolf Hitler. In today's England Winston Churchill would be arrested for hate speech.

There Will Always Be An England! Maybe Not! 

There Will Always Be an England! Don't Bet On It! Part II 

There Will Always Be an England! Don't Bet On It! Part III

Gutless, invertebrate, cowardly, treasonous, and stupid, and you can't fix stupid.  I will admit I find parliamentarian government thoroughly confusing, but, they seem to have shifts in government a lot, and I'm wondering if there will be an emergency election in the UK soon, but does it really matter?  Europe is doomed, let's take our marbles and go home and leave them to their well earned destruction.
