REPLY TO DAVID FUTRELLE

     David Futrelle, a Male Feminist and anti-Trump 'Resistance' writer published an interesting op-ed recently in The New York Times. In this article, Futrelle gives us his perspective on the saga of Juan Thompson, recently arrested for eight of the bomb threats against Jewish centers nationwide. Futrelle doesn't mention our site specifically, but he does decry pointing out the suspect's political leanings, which we in fact did. 

     The gist of Futrelle's argument seems to be that certain right-wing/conservative writers went to extremes covering Thompson's Leftist political connections; there is truth to that, with the usual suspects being guilty of it. He also argues that focusing on Thompson's politics detracts from the serious issue of cyberstalking; there is truth to that also. And many of the same writers who exploited Thompson's crimes are guilty of that too.

    Where is he wrong, however, is his implication that Thompson's politics are irrelevant to the story. There are two reasons why it is important.

     The first is that the Corporate Media has been trying to shovel all anti-Semitic crimes in the US onto the Trump Administration as part of their ongoing vendetta against him. Futrelle even states that "right-wing media outlets have seized upon Thompson's case to deflect attention from the very real---and thoroughly documented---resurgence of anti-Semitism that has accompanied President Trump's rise to power."

     But here is what the Anti-Defamation League says on its own webpage: "Our 2016 Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents reported an overall increase of anti-Semitic incidents for the second straight year. While the rate remains historically low, the current numbers reveals disturbing trends...among the 941 incidents reported are disturbing trends, assaults have more than tripled since 2012."

     What this indicates is that anti-Semitic incidents are still at 'historic lows' but have been increasing steadily since about mid-way through the Obama Administration. In fact, the Obama Administration saw general increases in so-called Hate Crimes---including many against Christians. These types of crimes, anti-Semitism included, are not exclusively committed by the Political Right. Thompson's case was politically charged mostly because the Corporate Media made it so.

     For his part, President has denounced anti-Semitism and disavowed neo-Nazis like Richard Spencer. In December, Trump's then-nominee for US Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, personally led an initiative in his native Montana to foil an attempted Nazi march against Jews in Whitefish. 

     The second problem with Futrelle's analysis is that it deflects attention itself from the very real problem of those on the PC Left fabricating hate crimes for political gain. Juan Thompson's politics are important for that very reason too.

     In a free society, there is no place for racial or religious discrimination, nor for cyberstalking of the type that Thompson engaged in. If the Corporate Media had been more responsible about its coverage of hate crimes, the problems that Futrelle raises wouldn't have existed. Maybe his focus should have been on The New York Times itself instead of Breitbart News.

ASSANGE EXPOSES THE REACH OF THE 'DEEP STATE'

    The heroic Julian Assange, still a political exile in the Ecuadoran Embassy released yesterday an initial series of internal documents pertaining to the CIA. The first group reveals how Obama's CIA chief and Moslem Brotherhood member John Brennan led a massive project to use computer hacking technologies for domestic espionage purposes. This was apparently done with the collusion of several tech companies.

     One document group revealed that in 2014 a joint meeting between CIA officials and British MI5 discussed hacking capabilities against so-called 'smart TVs', I-phones, and wifis; as well being able to override automotive smart technologies. The smart TV hacking system was employed on Samsung devices which could convert the television into a covert microphone even when the device is turned off.

      The CEO of Samsung, Jay Lee, incidentally, is currently on trial in South Korea on bribery and embezzlement charges along with the now-suspended Obama-supported South Korean President Park Guen-hye. Lee is accused of embezzling Samsung funds to pay off South Korean officials---including President Park---to approve a corporate merger in 2015.

       "By the end of 2016, the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence had over 5,000 people and produced more than hacking systems, Trojans, viruses, and other weaponized malware," Assange noted, "These hacking products can target a wide range of US and European company products such as Apple I-phones, Google Androids, and Microsoft Windows."

      The leaked documents reveal that a project to implement these plans was scheduled for 2015.

       One would think that allegations of this magnitude would shock even the somnambulant American public into some type of action, but among the top Corporate Media headlines this morning are:

       "Texas Bathroom Bill Sparks Emotional Testimony"

       "Report: Obama Furious after Trump Wiretap Allegation"

       "Pregnant ESPN Host Slams Sexist Twitter Trolls"

        "Ciara Slammed over Naked Photoshoot"

       While there's barely a peep about the Wiki Leaks revelations. Oh, and Ameroboob women are marching in pink hats again---for some reason or another.

       But recall that these are the same Corporate Media dunces who just a few years ago were laughing off conspiracy theories that things like smart TVs could be used for domestic espionage purposes.

         With the current controversy about Obama's alleged wiretapping of Trump, this would be a good opportunity for GOP activists to pressure Party leaders to open investigations into Obama's surveillance programs in general. And it wouldn't hurt to look into corporate collusion with these programs; especially considering how many tech CEOs seem to be quite cozy with the DNC.

WASHINGTON POST EXECUTIVE JAILED

     The fake news Corporate Media tabloid The Washington Post is in damage-control mode once again. It seems that one of the IT executives, Itai Ozderman was arrested after a SWAT team raid on his home in Maryland.

     Ozderman was charged with impersonating an ICE agent and passing himself off as such during a series of incidents in Falls Church, Virginia. Apparently, Ozderman visited the homes of several people who reported him to authorities. His motive in doing so is not clear; but police recovered at his home ICE uniforms and fake badges along with body armor, ammunition, ten weapons, tactical vests, and a police radio. They also found uniforms, badges, and equipment from the Baltimore Police Department.

    Maryland authorities are expected to turn Ozderman over to the FBI, who seem to be interested in some other unsolved federal felonies to which Ozderman may have had a connection.

    "All that we have to share is that we are aware of the situation and are looking into it," a shamefaced Washington Post spokeswoman told the local press. The Post itself was obliged by these circumstances to report the story, although they stressed that Ozderman was 'innocent until proven guilty'---a fact which their newspaper rarely accords to anyone else accused of anything.

     Ozderman was born in Israel and, as we've seen in many of these cases, was educated in American public schools. He graduated from Seneca Valley High School in Germantown, Maryland in 1999. Once again, it doesn't appear that foreign immigrants are necessarily being radicalized abroad.

     The Washington Post has been under considerable scrutiny lately. Wiki Leaks recently revealed that their owner Jeff Bezos had been given lucrative contracts by Hilary Clinton during her tenure as Secretary of State. Bezos was a huge donor to the Clinton Foundation and runs a large PAC, connected with Amazon. Bezos spent nearly $12 million on federal lobbying in 2016 alone.

    But once again, we see the character of the Cultural Elites who've controlled American political and social discourse for the last three decades. A society is always going to have its elites; but it's increasingly clear that we need a new set of them.

THE BLUE-STATE COCAINE EPIDEMIC

    Some troubling new figures from the US Department of Health and Human Services show that, after a brief downturn, Cocaine addiction and trafficking is again on the rise in the drug-addled United States. The number of cocaine-related overdoses in 2015 reached its highest level in a decade and second-highest level since the beginning of the 21st Century. The number of Cocaine users has spiked 61% to nearly 1 million. A survey of 19-28 year olds found that the number of users has gone up from 3.9% in 2013 to nearly 6% today.

   Cocaine is exclusively smuggled into the United States as the Coca plant is not cultivatable in northern climates. Much of it is processed here however; including derivatives like 'Crack'. The Coca leaf has some medicinal properties but can be highly addictive in concentrated forms. It has an amphetamine-like effect; but being a natural herb, its effects are often physical as well as psychological. Overdoses typically induce heart attacks or apoplexy and long-term use can result in damage to the central nervous system. Cocaine is especially dangerous when combined with other narcotics or alcohol and even, occasionally, with caffeine or tobacco.

    According to the survey, the addiction/usage rates are worst in (no surprise here) the Leftist-dominated Pacific Coast and the New England states; with Oregon leading the pack on one coast and New Hampshire on the other.  Also equally unsurprising, 9 of the 10 least-addicted are Red States. The New England area seems especially hard-hit, with every state in the region scoring in the top ten, with neighboring New York at #11.

     The Government speculates that the demand for Cocaine has risen because during the last three years, political actions in Colombia, Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia---the main sources of the drug have slowed production---which has increased again to earlier levels. It maybe so; but the drug problem in the US is not a supply-side issue. During the time when Cocaine imports were down, the demand for other narcotics increased. America's drug problem is, and always has been, from the demand-side.

      The United States has the highest per capita rate of drug addiction---including 'legal' dope pushed by Big Pharma in the world and no one else is even close. There has to be some intrinsic cultural problem that is causing this level of abuse. Things have reached a level where there are actually marijuana drive-thrus starting up. 

     To combat the problem is not an easy one, because narcotic abuse on a wide scale is symptomatic of a society that has lost faith. We're not talking about religious faith exclusively, though that is often a part of it. It's symptomatic of culture that has lost faith in itself---of a people mired in hopelessness about the future. This is why we noted earlier that the problem tends to manifest itself in predominantly Liberal social milieus. Liberalism is a philosophy that breeds despair and robs of the individual of power. It also tends to be atheistic, and robs people of the hope in God that we see often holding together even very impoverished cultures.

      The problem has also been exacerbated by the fact that, until the Trump Administration, the authorities have tended to deny its seriousness. Yes, we've had 'drug wars' under Bushes and Clintons---but those focused on street drugs while turning Big Pharma into a drug cartel in its own right. Obama's policy was one more or less of complete denial. Trump has at least acknowledged the problem---how he will deal with it remains to be seen.

     What there really needs to be is more focus on intervention, treatment, and education. Most importantly, there needs to be a social atmosphere that brings hope and faith again to the future. Whether or not the American people have this kind of strength of character left or not, also remains to be seen.

JAPAN MOVES CLOSER TO DICTATORSHIP

   While the US Corporate Media Establishment was busy witch-hunting Trump's Cabinet and doing damage-control over (further) Obama spying allegations; the Japanese Empire's ruling party held its convention in Tokyo this weekend. A troubling development that came out of this meeting was that term-limit provisions were extended and de facto repealed. This means that current Prime Minister Shinzo Abe---whose power has been extended all through his tenure---will not have to step down in 2018.

     The Abe Administration has seen many such disturbing trends, highly reminiscent of pre-WW2 politics. There has been increasing press censorship since 2012, with corresponding militarism and nationalism promoted through the public school. Under Abe, the Empire has vastly expanded military spending including the development of a new Stealth-fighter. This aircraft was displayed last Autumn at an airshow ominously also displaying restored WW2-era Japanese Zeroes.

     The Party Congress also pledged constitutional reform including repealing Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution which renounces aggressive war. Indeed, Abe has deployed Japanese Naval Forces well beyond the country's territorial waters and pursued a highly interventionist foreign policy. The Japanese Empire has never apologized formally for WW2 atrocities, nor have they officially given up territorial claims of land ceded in 1945. They have cracked down further on Okinawa and pressed demands for the strategic Kuril and Daiyou Islands. They still consider Sakhalin as part of Japan; and most of their interventions have been in former Japanese-held territories especially Korea, Taiwan, and Indochina.

     There are many in the US who believe that a strong Japan is necessary to maintain a strong balance of power in the Pacific; but history proves otherwise. A militarized Japan is as great a threat to regional stability today as it was during the 1930s. Japan never underwent the type of post-war reforms that Europe did. They even retained their Emperor, who is worshipped as a god by the Japanese ruling elite. While the top political and military leaders were removed and tried for war crimes, they were replaced---not by opposition leaders as in Europe---but by their underlings. The large corporate monopolies were broken up, but quickly reorganized under new names. In other words, Japan never underwent a democratic reformation like Europe did.

    A resurgent Fascist Japanese Empire is not in the interest of American policy in the Pacific. While it is true that in the 1930s, Japan blocked Russian and Chinese hegemony in the region, they also fought American interests as well---as the events of December 1941 should make abundantly clear. Their goals in the region are not---and never have  been---those of a free country securing the rights of free global trade. Their goal has been to monopolize Asian trade under the aegis of their god-emperor.

    A better course of action for the US to pursue is abandon the Pax Americana notions of the last four Administrations and pursue a trilateral power-sharing course in the Pacific with the other two great powers: Russia and China. A NATO-type alliance between these three powers would ensure a degree of security and free trade for the entire region.

     But Japan is heavily financially invested in Wall Street, US political PACs and the Corporate Media; so opposition to such a policies would be strong. It will be an interesting foreign policy test for the Trump Administration to see where the US will go in the Pacific---as a partner or an aggressor.

IT'S TIME TO PUT A STOP TO THIS

   Thursday's riot at Middlebury College in Vermont should be the final straw here. For those who haven't heard, thanks to Corporate Media blackouts, a violent riot broke out during a speech by author Charles Murray who had to flee the auditorium when nearly 500 'students'---egged on by faculty and administration---stormed the stage.

    Murray's car was surrounded as he tried to leave; with the thugs hitting it with clubs, blocking it; jumping on it---much like we've seen Chicago gangs do. Professor Alison Stanger, who escorted Murray was set upon by the mob and had her neck twisted---she is now wearing a neck brace.

     Middlebury College openly encouraged this outburst despite the usual de facto denials from the college administration to the contrary. A letter published in the student newspaper ---written and endorsed by Middlebury Alumni---encouraged students to "dissent, and make that dissent known however you see fit," and that "this is not an issue of freedom of speech."

      Yes it is a matter of free speech; and it's high that government at all levels started enforcing the 1st Amendment. Here are some concrete suggestions for Republican Party activists to consider proposing to our elected leaders:

      If in any case, school administrators, faculty, alumni, or student organizations are found contributing to or encouraging these kinds of criminal behaviors: all federal funding including student grants and loans will be immediately terminated. All federal contracts with these institutions will be terminated immediately. All such terminated schools will be prohibited from accepting foreign students or have any contractual dealings with foreign entities. The schools involved will also lose immediately any official accreditation. These recommendations will follow the conclusions of independent investigations.

     These proposals may sound harsh, but so is nearly breaking professors' necks, condoning arson, vandalism, and gang-style behavior. The Trump Administration is investigating UC -Berkeley over last month's riots. Apparently, the warnings haven't corrected the thuggish behavior of the Academic Mafia. Trump and DeVos should make an example out of Middlebury; and follow suit with any more of these parasitical 'academic' institutions that imagine themselves above the law.

      Although the US spends more money on education than any other country, we have the least to show for it. As spending as gone up, we've fallen further behind other countries. That's because American Academia is in the hands of bandits and fanatics who, like gangsters, are concerned only with protecting their 'turf' and their tenures. This has to change and change soon.



     

FOREIGN EXTREMISTS FUNDING RED PILL ACTIVISTS

     It's been an interesting source of speculation as to who funds Anti-Democracy movements on both the Far Left and Far Right. We know that the Left gets considerable cash from foreign interests like George Soros and the Saudi Wahhabis. But the Red Pill Cult also apparently gets support from foreign interests as well. The post-BREXIT British Media has been investigating some of these sources, while ours actively encourages these groups.

      The Daily Stormer, a Manosphere blog run by MGTOW Andrew Anglin, is receiving funds from an Australian electrician company run by one Simon Hickey. Hickey is also quite sympathetic to the Red Pill Philosophy. He once was censured for posting an employment advertisement which read in part:

     "You will be crawling on roofs, you will be getting dirty, you will be working during the hottest days of Summer while fat Australian chicks will sit inside in the air conditioning; not offering you a drink or lift a finger helping you clean up, while you get sunburnt, dehydrated, and disoriented outside installing air conditioning for her comfort. Then she will tell us that we are all equal. That's our life. We are men. We wouldn't trade places with her anyway."

     Hickey posted this on Facebook in November, 2016:

      "Today...Europa regains its spine and stops pandering to female voters. We either become men again or we die out. Forever. In 100 years we have gone from the undisputed masters of the earth to a ridiculed, shrinking, and dying minority of less than 1/1o of people on earth. Think about that. For 4000+ years we dominated. Right up until we decided it was a brilliant idea to let women and aliens vote. Our democracy...is being used to destroy us."

       Anglin threw a major tantrum at The Daily Stormer that the media would dare expose one of his sponsors. The same Anglin who boasts of sending his 'troll army' to dox and harass Jewish-owned businesses and female assault victims, complained about this. He refused to say, though, how much cash he gets from Hickey.

     A bigger question however is why are these foreign groups so interested in radicalizing American men? Well, the answer is quite simple: the same reason that George Soros radicalizes the American Left and the Wahhabi cults radicalize American Moslems. All these groups: neo-Marxists, Salafist Jihadis, and neo-Nazis can't achieve their various 'New World Order' schemes with traditionalist superpowers standing in their way. All three are working like termites to undermine Western powers like the US, UK, and France. The latter two are also active in Russia and the former two are active in China. No traditional culture is immune from the attacks of fanatics.

     As the Trump Administration has broken the power of the Neocons in the Republican Party, extremist groups like the Red Pills hope to fill the power vacuum. It's up to traditional Conservatives to keep these people and their foreign enablers away from the levers of power.
