The Conclusion

By Rich Kozlovich 

To say I will be glad when this election is over is an understatement, as even a newsie like me can only stand so much.  And while I've said the story is coming to a conclusion, I don't really believe that.   What I believe is that if Trump is elected the left is going to unleash their BLM, Antifa, and other dogs of war, who they been funding for years now, with rioting in every major city in America.  All of which they've turned into crime ridden filthy sewers.  All predicated on "equity", a given formula for disaster at every level.  

American Thinker is my favorite go to news site, and here are some of the articles that support all I've said.  The picture is from Dan Mitchell's article, Politician Humor, which I'm not posting.  However, if you go to the site and scroll down you'll come to a piece about a politician given a choice between going to heaven or hell.  Click that and watch.  It's worth the time, and fits in with the picture well.  

Understand this.  The left has no boundaries, they will resort to anything that will get them the power they so cravenly desire, and nothing is too vile for them to embrace in that pursuit. 

Democrats are committing the final sin: weaponizing people - A major battle is brewing in a coming collision of two unstoppable forces. One side is Marxist leftist progressivism and our administrative deep state (both movements roughly 100 years old in America). The second side is Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. This battle will be triggered the day after the November 5th election and may happen no matter which candidate wins for reasons I’ll describe below.

Unfortunately, to the Democrat’s final and shameful adoption of evil, they have managed to weaponize their followers into human ammunition. While BLM and Antifa rioted during the George Floyd era, that was merely a practice run. This time is different. The leftists and administrative state understand that Trump is a true existential threat to their continued power and likely to their organizational existence, of which he plans to start a brick-by-brick dismantling. The distinction I’m making using the term “weaponize” is one of political violence versus regular political actions.................

An enduring echo of our moral compass: The Judeo-Christian legacy in modern American governance -  In the architecture of American public life, the pillars of Judeo-Christian values are not merely decorative; they are the very foundation that gives it strength, character, and resilience. These values, originating from ancient texts yet still resonant today, have sculpted our national character, our laws, and our aspirations. They are the silent architects of our societal norms, influencing our public policy with a subtlety and depth that continues to inspire, challenge, and sometimes provoke..............

The Real Purpose of Fake Liberals -The following is not intended to criticize anyone truly liberal or who keeps an open mind. It is aimed at those who pretend to be liberal but are in fact allies of the Left, which makes them Marxists. Quotation marks on the word “liberal” separate the meaning of the word from its contrary practice.  “Liberal” reporters used to be fond of pointing out that the death of John F. Kennedy marked the end of this nation’s “age of innocence.”  ..............In reality, fake liberals are stalwart illiberals who don’t actually care what democracy is, as long as it can be used to advance a Marxist agenda. If the process is in fact undemocratic, what of it? If the Constitution needs to be ignored or trashed, what’s the problem? “Progress” must not be restricted.  Progress toward what?.......I’ll be blunt: The woke among us have exposed themselves to a class of elites whose sense of justice is like that of wolves..........

 

It’s All About Control: The Elite Plan for the Great Food Reset-  Besides ‘degrowth’ and ‘net zero,’ one other dangerous buzz phrase being bandied about by proponents of the Great Reset is “nature-positive food systems.”  The stated goal of moving to new food systems is to reduce nitrogen emissions, livestock production, and meat consumption.  This is to be achieved by consuming plant-based products, lab-grown foods, and insects (as a source of protein).  The moot question, however, is whether such a change is at all necessary?

The U.N., the World Economic Forum (WEF), the Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and other NGOs would have us believe so.  These institutions are controlled by the global elite, who aim to create monopolistic markets for themselves and enslave people, turning them first into captive consumers without choice, and eventually, without free will.  So, the U.N. and its co-conspirators have manufactured a food crisis, and by linking it to their other fabrication — an exaggerated climate crisis — they are using it to reset the world’s food system................

 Is It Bad Enough Yet?-  Podcaster and radio host Dan Bongino frequently asks his listeners, “Is it bad enough yet?” In other words, has the level of socio-economic and political punishment being dished out to you reached a point where you’ve had enough? What else do Kamala Harris and her party have to do to convince you that they hold you in utter contempt? This question is especially pertinent when addressed to Christians and Jews. In her memoir, Harris wrote of praying before difficult decisions, “Before bed, I would say a small prayer: ‘God, please help me do the right thing.’” Given her actions on subsequent occasions one wonders if she was being truthful in her memoir or, if I may be so bold perhaps God has been ignoring her...........(Kamala was raised as a Marxist)_ ...........In 2016 California AG Harris prosecuted whistleblower David Daleiden, who exposed Planned Parenthood's (PP) role in selling organs and body tissues from aborted children. She ordered California DOJ agents to raid Daleiden’s home and seize files and equipment he used to make his undercover videos. Charges against Daleiden include recording the PP executives without their permission...................

 The Case of the Disappearing Ballots - Mail-in ballots are on the docket in several ongoing election fraud cases in Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. The lawsuits ask for transparency with regard to contracts with the United States Postal Service (USPS) to transport alleged completed mail-in ballots. The lawsuits hope to get to the bottom of questions about the legitimacy of the ballots, where the ballots are going, and what is being done with them. These cases may settle questions around whether fraudulent ballots are being used in our elections to stuff the ballot box, among other things.

In October 2020, thousands of mail-in ballots were allegedly transported across state lines from Bethpage N.Y. to PA. Evidence shows that ballots were loaded on to a truck driven by USPS subcontractor Jesse Morgan. Morgan delivered them to Lancaster, PA and the ballots allegedly disappeared. Morgan has publicly spoken about what he witnessed and has also provided a signed affidavit about the incident............

My conclusion?  Many years ago my mother who was an ardent FDR Democrat once said how upset she was over those who thought Nixon would have been a great President after he was defeated via voter fraud by Kennedy, and said she wished he was elected so they could see how rotten he is, but the rest of us would also have to suffer.  Well, my mom was right, Nixon was a disaster, but this is far worse.  

 

We're in for a difficult time if Trump is elected, but that will be fixed.  As for Harris being elected, I've often channeled my mom's thoughts regarding Nixon when I read the idiotic these nitwit RINO's, media dunderheads, and stupid celebrities say promoting Kamala Harris. 

"America is at a crossroads, that much is clear.  One path wants this nation to be great again.  The other has a globalist vision in which individuals are insignificant beyond their membership in a minority group.  That Kamala Harris has any supporters is a sad commentary on the current state of our citizenry’s moral authority. Hers reeks of the communist ideology she has long embraced."  

If Harris is elected it will be far worse then anything Nixon did, as it will be the end of America as we know it.

We are headed for a dark age in science

December 6, 2022 By Robert Arvay

Science has had a long and difficult path to its success, and to its well deserved respect over its main competitors: superstition and falsehood.  Arguably, in 1945, that respect reached its zenith, with the detonation of the nuclear weapons that are credited with ending World War 2.  Science-based technology literally exploded onto the public consciousness.  No one could argue with its awesome demonstration of power.  Nor could anyone doubt that the predictions of scientists, no matter how fantastic, must eventually come true.  Why, by 1966, we will all have flying cars!

Of course, we did not.  That is certainly forgivable, but scientific technology has fallen short of public expectations in more ways than just that.  Some years ago, an eminent physicist published a commentary lamenting the transformation of science from an evidence-based endeavor into a proposal-based activity — a guessing game.  Instead of observation, hypothesis, and experiment, physics seemed to have moved its laboratories to the blackboard.  We are all familiar with the confusing maze of cryptic, Greco-Arabic symbols that describe for us such unproved pronouncements as the existence of multiple universes, subatomic strings, and "dark" physics, for none of which there is direct physical evidence.  Yet these educated guesses enjoy a degree of acceptance rivaling that of confirmed experimental results, blurring the line between scientific fact and speculative conjecture.........To Read More....

The Improvidence of Providence, Rhode Island

Daniel Greenfield December 16, 2022 @ Sultan Knish Blog 

During the long hot summer of Black Lives Matter race riots, Providence’s Mayor Jorge Elorza announced a truth and reparations commission, accusing the city and all of Rhode Island of perpetrating “generations of pain and violence and systemic oppression”.

The leftist racist, who has been steadily sending the city down the drain, urged the 33% of white people still left in Providence to “heal by discussing and accepting these uncomfortable truths”.

The commission would not be looking into Elorza’s alleged systemic racism which resulted in a lawsuit by the city’s former Department of Public Works director claiming that he was fired over a principled refusal to hire unqualified people “because of their ethnic backgrounds” while being banned from hiring “qualified applicants of a different ethnic background”.

These “uncomfortable truths” were not on the truth and reconciliation menu.

Instead, Elorza pushed forward with a plan to offer $10 million in reparations even though Rhode Island had actually been the first state to ban slavery and was founded by Roger Williams: an opponent of slavery. The tiny state had mobilized 25,236 soldiers in the Civil War including the 11th United States Colored Heavy Artillery Regiment. 1,771 Rhode Islanders paid the ultimate price and twenty were awarded the Medal of Honor.

That, not Eloriza’s $10 million grift, is what actually fighting racism looks like.

“These funds move us one step further towards closing the present-day racial wealth and equity gap,” Mayor Elorza falsely claimed.

With 28,834 black people living in Providence, that $10 million amounts to a $346 check for every black person. That’s enough to cover a week of groceries for a family of four.

Meanwhile, only “14 percent of Providence students are proficient in English and 6.8 percent are proficient in math.” The good news is that Providence students are so illiterate that they don’t even realize that Rhode Island wasn’t a member of the Confederacy.

And they know so little of basic mathematics that they have no idea how much $346 is.

Elorza’s racist virtue signaling doesn’t close any gaps. And it’s now under fire because it’s insufficiently racist since poor white people can also apply. That’s because the racist mayor chose to use cash from Biden’s inflationary $1.9 trillion stimulus plan which can’t exclude non-black applicants. Like the mayor himself, his reparations have failed in every possible way.

“You can’t just throw around $10 million for this-and-that program and call it reparations, because then it will be done without ever really having a conversation about what repairing the harm would look like,” a member of Elorza’s African American Ambassador Group complained.

Elorza’s racist crusade has thus far toppled a Columbus statue, and eliminated “plantations” from the city’s historic name in time for Juneteenth: even though the name had nothing to do with slavery. But expecting a city of illiterates to know that may be asking too much.

Meanwhile, Providence still has a 23% poverty rate: more than double than the state average.

The 92% of minority students in the Providence School District, most of them Hispanic, have reading proficiency scores that are half that of the state average and math scores that are almost a third that of the state average.

Homicides rose for three straight years: hitting a high that hadn’t been seen in a decade.

In 2021, 75 people were shot and 23 were killed in Providence. More than half of the entire state’s murders in 2020 took place in Providence even though the city holds only a fifth of Rhode Island’s population.

Asked to explain this phenomenon, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha pointed out that, “If you shoot 22 rounds into the air, the odds of hitting someone go dramatically up, which in part leads to more outcomes resulting in death.” This is as undeniably true as it is irrelevant.

More relevantly, pro-crime policies, like those championed by Mayor Jorge Elorza, such as the Providence Community-Police Relations Act, have worsened crime in the area. To paraphrase the attorney general fired by the Trump administration, If you keep pandering to criminals, the odds of them committing crimes go up which leads to more outcomes resulting in death.

Mayor Jorge Elorza and his allies keep blaming racism for Providence’s miserable state, but Democrats have run Providence for 86 of the last 100 years.

If there’s any systemic racism, it was their system. And it’s so now more than ever.

Elorza has been running Providence into the ground for the last 7 years. Whose fault is all the misery? Taking down a Columbus statue or requesting a report about events 400 years in the past is a convenient cover-up for who’s actually in office now. And it ain’t Christopher Columbus.

Providence has a Democrat mayor and an all-Democrat council.

In 2019, former Providence City Council President Lou Aponte, one of the most enduring politicians on that body, pleaded guilty to felony embezzlement. In 2018, Majority Leader Kevin Jackson was sentenced to a year in prison for stealing over $100,000 from a youth charity.

What Providence really needs isn’t a truth and reconciliation commission, but a commission to stamp out the corruption and organized crime that the state and city have become infamous for.

Behind all the racist virtue signaling are uncomfortable truths about crime and demographics.

A Matter of Truth, the truth and reconciliation report commissioned by the mayor, blames racism for black people getting COVID and quotes BLM co-founder Alicia Garza boasting that “black communities have the power not just to save the country, but to lead the country.”

Not so much in Providence, Rhode Island, where Latinos have long since become the dominant minority group. Mayor Jorge Elorza is the son of Guatemalan immigrants. Of the 15 city council members, all Democrats, 6 are Latino, some of African heritage, but only one is black American.

And behind the virtue signaling and wokeness are some ugly realities, Councilwoman Carmen Castillo, the Dominican immigrant who became the subject of a documentary for going from hotel cleaning lady to the city council, was charged in a hit and run crash. While Castillo might have faced a 6-month prison sentence and a ban on running for public office, instead she got a slap on the wrist with no prison time and a $3,500 payout to the victim.

Asking about that would be racist. Obviously.

Castillo defeated NAACP president Gerard Catala who faces an investigation over campaign finance violations including depositing a political contribution to his personal bank account.

But that’s just Providence politics which brings together corrupt Democrats of all races and creeds to screw over the illiterates who can’t read or add, but keep voting for them.

Even after they’re dead.

Providence’s Latino political elites keep pushing the ‘white guilt’ button while using black people as human shields. Most of the city’s minority population isn’t black and sleazy racists like Elorza are using false accusations of racism to seize power and distract attention from their abuses.

America isn’t racist, but Providence’s political elites are as corrupt as they are racist. 

IARC Retraction Watch Begins: They Faked Images In Controversial Claims

By Hank Campbell — October 25, 2018 @ American Council on Science and Health

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has a new leader, an Old Guard insider named Dr. Elisabete Weiderpass, who promised not to change the status quo, which means they remain stuck with an old problem; credibility.

While for its first 20 years they were a much-needed voice of reason that stood up to activists claiming that some new chemical of the month was a carcinogen because it could kill rats, for the last 10 IARC have been the source of ridicule among the science community. And that is because the environmentalists whose hype they once exposed played the long game and wormed their way inside.(1) Today, thanks to letting them hijack that science body, we are told to believe that a weedkiller can cause cancer and deli meat is as bad for you as plutonium or mustard gas. Such claims are literally baloney.

But media who love centralized authoritarian bodies and veils of anti-corporate credibility have gleefully reported each more cosmic claim from the French organization during that time. They have even touted media press releases distributed prior to actual reports as fact. Though IARC decisions do not consider risk (to determine a hazard they allow papers that show 5 orders of magnitude, so one dose of a compound is the same as 10,000 to them) the WHO group will mention risk dozens of times in media claims in their press releases.

There is just one problem they face: Every few years, a new crop of journalists enters the field, and not only might they not be in the bag for your brand of activism, they might be neutral and wonder why no one turns their gaze on the manipulations of supplement hucksters, alternative to medicine purveyors, and environmental lawyers. And some scientists who engage in public outreach are critical thinkers about studies everywhere, like molecular biologist Leonid Schneider and microbiologist Dr. Elisabeth Bik, who have called out groups who do this and also journal editors who enable them with a desire to publish provocative claims that will bring international media links.

A recent analysis of both journals and IARC involvement, titled WHO Cures Cancer In Photoshop, went into detail about the cultural flaws that allowed IARC to lose its way but more broadly about how easy it is to duplicate or reuse or slightly change graphics to look original in a science study. Some of the inferences I don't agree with - the involvement of a private sector scientist does not sway results by default, that is Cui bono? conspiracy signaling - but the overall examination is sound. (2)

Schneider is not alone in being concerned that IARC is trapped in the past using a methodology that is easily exploited by activists with nefarious agendas and patience, like Professor Martyn Smyth of Council for Education and Research on Toxics (CERT) (3) or Dr. Chris Portier of Environmental Defense Fund. They used 21st century strategy to infect a stodgy 20th century institution, which creates ad hoc working groups based on having friends inside, refuses to be transparent, and has no rules for the study of each compound. It has become just statisticians finding things to correlate to cancer. As Dr. Angela Logomasini of Competitive Enterprise Institute notes in the Washington Times, "The working groups are free to focus on myriad small-scale studies with implausible results. That can lead to cherry-picking that serves the biases of working group members."

It certainly has. Look at two California court cases, on coffee and on weedkiller, and the first thing you will find are two IARC participants mentioned above, Chris Portier and Martyn Smith, who have been paid by attorneys to help them sue companies.

Is there hope? There certainly is. The American Council on Science and Health Board of Scientific Advisors was part of a group of four people called on to testify before the U.S. House Science, Space, and Technology Committee about IARC and we recommended Congress use its financial leverage, and the credibility U.S. backing grants, to rein the rogue statistical body in.

The only opposition we faced on that panel was Natural Resources Defense Council's Dr. Jennifer Sass, who argued IARC's closed door mentality and lack of transparency about its working groups should remain untouched. That was the opposite of what she claimed in 2002 and when that was noted she could only reply, "2002 was a long time ago."

In many ways, this is true, and IARC should consider shucking off the parts of our past that no longer have validity in 2018.

NOTE:

(1) If your career goal is to get a fat paycheck as an expert witness or as a consultant at an environmental NGO, today there is a clear roadmap. First, write provocative epidemiology papers linking harmless things to health effects - it can be miracle vegetables creating eternal life or scary chemicals taking years away. Second, become a Washington insider and get a title, any title, from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). If you are good with media and share the correct political proclivities, use that title to get quoted frequently in the New York Times. Soon enough, a litigation group like Earthjustice or Environmental Defense Fund or Center for Biological Diversity will start offering you money. And if you are really good at political maneuvering, you will get a slot on an IARC Working Group, where you can get the chemical you wanted banned all along subjected to a review. Once that is complete, you can claim to be a U.N. expert on the chemical you want banned while signaling to trial lawyers you are ready to "play ball", and then the expert witness checks will start coming in.
(2) "Apparently, by re-using certain western blot bands, a potential prevention therapy for cervical cancer can be established. Amazing research, done by WHO scientists at IARC, with public support."
He pulls no punches. You should read it.

Attention @PNASNews @jbiolchem @J_Immunol @ASMicrobiology @PLOSPathogens @JExpMed @ACasadevall1 Look what @IARCWHO published in your journals. https://t.co/PhM33CET8l

(3) Despite its lofty name, CERT is not a council at all, there is no 300-person Board of Scientific Advisors like we have, it was instead created by Metzger Law group to have a non-profit to act as a front for lawsuits against companies - if it exists outside paper at all it now it seems to be "run" by a politically
