Bank Bail-Ins and Stealing Your Money! By James Reed

     Malcolm Roberts, One Nation Senator for Queensland, has warned us of the danger of bank bail-ins, where if the banks get in dire financial straits, they take your deposits. To counter this, he is championing the Banking Amendment (Deposits) Bill 2020. So far there have been over 200 submissions to the Economics Committee since June 2020, most positive, although APRA and the Treasury think that it is unnecessary. But, in his own submission, Senator Roberts argues that banks in a financial crisis can and will gobble up the savings of depositors. So, here is his submission, and you can help by passing the information on.

Will the US Invade Melbourne? By James Reed

     The idea of a US invasion of Melbourne is intriguing. Done under Trump, it would be interesting. Done under Biden, no, Kamala, whatever, it would be frightening. Anyway, it is shame that Americans are seeing us a cesspool, which is something considering what America today looks like. Things are sure descending to the bottom of the wheelie bin quickly. President Trump, please don’t bomb my house, as Vlad Putin promises to nuke my flat, and I don’t want to be the cause of you guys getting a divorce.

  https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/tyranny/should-the-us-invade-melbourne-australia-to-restore-human-rights-like-iraq/

“How will the markets handle what lies ahead is very interesting. Historically capital will always flee from tyranny. The markets may appear to be disconnected, but they are clearly beginning to weight the changing tide of freedom which is so essential to how and why we invest our capital. Governments have violated the very core authority they have been granted by the people. The treatment of choking this girl simply because she does not have a mask is by no means a free society that respects human rights. What is really interesting is the justification to invade Iraq or Syria was that their governments were abusing their own people and violating human rights. These are just the first six articles of the Declaration of Human Rights that countries now routinely violate claiming they are protecting them. What countries have restored to under the pretence of protecting the public is to strip everyone of all human rights. This has gone way too far and, in many cases, as seen here, the Police have crossed the line and become the tyrannical enemies of the people. This is the very essence of what sets in motion a revolution that is not bloodless. How will the markets respond and they will distinctly provide us clues as to their intended path of flight. Australia has clearly adopted a very aggressive authoritarian posture against its people. This is reflected in the currency for it has declined sharply for the past 9 years since the high of 2011. The A$ needs to close back above 7800 at year-end to raise hope of a bounce. A closing below 7000 at year-end will point to political unrest and a decline into 2021 at the least. The A$ should rise with commodities into 2024, but the failure to do so would warn of political unrest which will not end well for Australia.”

The Coming Killing Fields By Mrs Vera West

     A most alarming take on things by Mike Adams, but at this point I have read so much bad news that I am uncomfortably numb:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-08-14-next-chapter-plandemic-final-lockdown-extermination-humanity.html

“Every person who has signed up to be tested for covid-19 — or who runs a contact tracing app on their mobile device — is being funneled into a government database that will soon be used to hunt people down for forced vaccinations. What the Democrats want is armed vaccination teams going from private home to private home, forcing people to be vaccinated at gunpoint, or kidnapping them and taking them to FEMA-like “quarantine camps” for processing. (In reality, they are being taken to death camps for executions, see below…) There’s also credible evidence that some of the covid-19 test swabs have already been inoculated with the virus itself in order to spread the outbreak. They are spreading it on purpose, just like they did in Disneyland. Yes, the virus is real, and they have weaponized it against humanity. We know how to beat the virus now, using things like green tea and zinc, but the virus is very real and quite deadly to people who are nutritionally deficient and immune suppressed. Still, the masses of the world do not yet realize what’s coming. As usual, they awakened too late to the horrors that they ignored for too long. They let Big Tech, Big Media and Big (left-wing) Government gain too much power, to the point where the institutions are now the enemies of humanity. And so the ignorant, clueless masses will be systematically culled if the Democrats and globalists get their way. They will be lined up and forcibly injected with “vaccines” that are little more than kill shots, engineered with mRNA strands to turn your body into its own suicide bomb (autoimmune disorders). They will obediently line up at food banks where vaccinations are required to receive free food, and they will take the shot (mark of the beast) in exchange for a bag of toxic, processed food that’s laced with deadly pesticides and herbicides (because the food supply has long been a primary vector of killing humanity). And they will celebrate the LGBT genital mutilation of their own children, while murdering their babies in abortion centers and cheering Joe Biden’s mental incapacity as some sort of “progressive genius.” Yes, they are clinically insane. They want to rule the world, and they can’t wait to mass murder 90% of the human population to “save the planet” from humanity. These are not wild theories… these are their own public admissions. These are demons walking the Earth, and they seek to destroy as many human beings as possible as they destroy themselves in the process.”

Reason and Faith: The Sacred Unity By James Reed

     This is another great Christian philosophy book which we should read, based upon this book review from the conservative organisation IPA.org, who also love Western civilisation and want to resist its deconstruction by the forces of the Left. The book is Samuel Gregg, Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization (2019), reviewed by Zachery Gorman:
  https://ipa.org.au/ipa-review-articles/beyond-reason

“Gregg’s thesis is that the great genius of the West has been the way it has balanced reason and faith, which he writes “correct each other’s successes” and “enhance each other’s comprehension of truth”. Great enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke and Isaac Newton used rational inquiry to extend our knowledge and improve our world, but their quest was anchored in some fundamental Christian truths about the value of the individual and humanity’s capacity to exercise free will. This same moral anchor proved the difference between the positive change of the American Revolution and the unhinged despotism of the French Revolution.
Gregg argues the real problem facing the West is not predicated on our free institutions or an excess of progress, but the fact that faith has been decoupled from reason to the point where many believe faith is the antithesis of reason. This is largely a product of the 19th century. Nietzsche is obviously singled out for condemnation, though he is not the only culprit identified. Gregg is keen to point out the German philosopher did not end with his famous dismissal of God, but went on to dismiss rational inquiry as a whole. He ended up at a theory of power now seen as a precursor to fascism. The book’s message is clear: the path from dismissing long-held moral truths to despotism is less of a slippery slope than it is a sheer cliff.

The Guts of the Gut By Mrs Vera West

     It seems that both depression and high blood pressure may have a gut link. It is seeming that the gut is as important as the brain, and is probably a second brain, almost as important, linked to the central nervous system in a holistic way:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-08-15-high-blood-pressure-and-depression-tied-to-gut-health.html

“A recent study found that gut health is linked to high blood pressure and depression after identifying key differences in gut bacterial patterns among individuals with the conditions and healthy individuals. The preliminary study presented at the American Heart Association‘s Hypertension Scientific Sessions also found that high blood pressure might take different forms – one that is accompanied by depression and one that is not. Given the findings, the researchers said that targeting gut bacteria may prevent and selectively treat hypertension with or without depression. “In the future, health professionals may target your gut in order to prevent, diagnose and selectively treat different forms of high blood pressure,” said Bruce R. Stevens, lead author of the study and professor of physiology & functional genomics, medicine and psychiatry at the University of Florida College of Medicine.

Kamala’s Big Black Race Problems By Chris Knight

     Boy, queen Kamala sure has a race problem. You see this is not Jamaica here, but America, where the main blacks are African Americans, and that she is not. She can’t do the woke politically correct thing and say that her ancestors were slaves, because they were slave owners. That looks bad, so bad that one third of black voters are now less likely to vote for the Democrats at all! Good one senile Joe. For goodness sakes man get on your medication, you could be a much more efficient New World Order puppet!
  https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/huge-one-third-black-voters-say-bidens-vp-announcement-makes-less-likely-vote-democrat/

“This won’t make any headlines. A new Rasmussen poll finds that a third of black voters say Biden’s announcement of Kamala Harris as his running mate makes them less likely to vote the Democrat ticket this year. Biden announced Kamala as his running mate on Tuesday. Tulsi Gabbard destroyed Kamala Harris’s record as a prosecutor who put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. According to Democrat Tulsi Gabbard, “She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California. And she fought to keep cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.” Earlier this week, Joe Biden named Kamala Harris as his running mate. Democrats overwhelmingly like the California senator and have their eye on her to hold the top spot in 2024 if the Democratic ticket loses this time around. Seventy-six percent (76%) of likely Democratic Voters have a favorable impression of Harris, including 48% who have a Very Favorable impression. Just 18% of Democrats have an unfavorable view of California’s former attorney general, with 11% who say Very Unfavorable. Twenty-four percent (24%) of all voters say Biden’s VP choice will make them more likely to vote for the Democratic ticket in November. Just as many (24%) say it will make them less likely to vote for Biden now that Harris is by his side. Half (50%) say this week’s announcement will have no impact when it comes to their vote. But while black voters (37%) are more likely than white voters (28%) and voters not affiliated with either major party (25%) to hold a Very Favorable opinion of Harris, who would be the first woman of color to hold the office of vice president if elected, a third of black voters say Biden’s VP announcement makes them less likely to vote for Democratic ticket in November.”

White Genocide in South Africa By Michael Ferguson

     White genocide in South Africa continues, and is a telling case study of the future of diverse societies when they break down:
  https://www.amren.com/news/2020/08/south-africa-farm-attacks-and-murders-are-undeniably-spiking-saps-data/

“There has been a spike in farm attacks, according to the South African Police Service (Saps). Saps statistics indicate that there were 80 attacks between January and March 2020 with 48 attacks reported between April and June this year. There were six farm attacks during January and March 2019 and seven between April and June 2019. In response to the rise in farm attacks, Saps and Agri SA have agreed to collaborate with regards to rural safety. Lester Kiewit interviewed Dr Ivan Meyer, MEC for Agriculture at the Western Cape Government. Many people are suffering in rural communities, irrespective of race. Recently in KZN, 30 black farmers were killed. Nobody in the media captured this… People are being murdered [on farms] whether they are black, white, coloured or Indian…

The Case for Trump By James Reed

     Australians who are even mildly interested in survival, of themselves and what remains of the nation, should be vitally concerned about the US election. Trump has been a disappointment but, in his favour, he has faced overwhelming opposition from his own party and the Deep State.
  https://claremontreviewofbooks.com/the-case-for-trump/
  https://www.counter-currents.com/2020/08/wargaming-secession-2/#more-121482

“Americans who want to remain citizens of a united country that at least makes some desultory attempt to protect them and further their interests have no choice but to stay the course. As the saying goes, the only way out is through. I know that some readers will lament that the Trump Administration has been a disappointment. “Where’s our wall?” I’d like to have seen more progress by now, too. “Why wasn’t he tougher during the riots and their aftermath?” I don’t know. But it does seem clear that a few of the things we thought all along are actually true. The presidency is hard enough to manage with decades of experience in politics and a series of elective offices under your belt. It’s that much harder when a president assumes the office not merely from the outside, but politically speaking, from out of nowhere. It’s harder still without a party. Yes, President Trump enjoys the overwhelming loyalty of Republican voters—but his hold on Republican donors, and especially officials, is much more tenuous. He ran against them and won—and most of them will never forgive him. They play nice to his face and undermine him behind his back. That’s before we even get to the ones in open rebellion. No president—Democrat or Republican—has ever come to power facing organized efforts by his own party’s middle management to tally lists of people declaring on the record that under no circumstances will they work for the incoming administration. It’s been hard, to say the least, to staff up when a good chunk of the party is dead-set against their leader, and nearly all the rest spent their careers furthering policies diametrically opposed to those he ran—and won—on. And that’s just President Trump’s ostensible own side. Then factor in all his open enemies from the other party, and virtually every other power center in our society, plus the steadfast opposition of the so-called “deep state”—i.e., the very federal bureaucrats whom he was elected to oversee and direct. Viewed from this angle, one may fairly wonder how it’s been possible for him to accomplish anything at all. More fundamentally: where do you think the country would be without him? Even if you’re disappointed with less than 200 miles of wall, remember that leading Democrats not only insist that every single new inch is a moral atrocity, they want to tear down sections that already exist.

Why Do I No Longer Find This Shocking? By Chris Knight

     I can’t work out where this Ted Rall guy is coming from, but the line of thought is interesting. Trump faces prison if he loses, so with the Covid-19 freak out, and racy race riots, maybe Trump will postpone the election. What then?
  https://www.unz.com/trall/it-could-easily-happen-here-and-soon/

“Trump has set the stage for a too-dangerous-to-vote argument. Black Lives Matters protests were winding down before he sent FPS to Portland and Seattle. Thanks to these violent agent provocateurs, the crowds of angry protesters are growing; buildings are burning; and people are getting killed. He wants to send thugs to Chicago and other cities. By October, they could be all over the country, spreading chaos. After downplaying the threat of COVID-19 for months, the president has radically reversed course. He is wearing a mask in public, urging others to do so and resuming coronavirus-themed press briefings, replacing public health officials as the face of the crisis response. The new messaging: COVID is deadly. Mail-in ballots, the social distancing alternative to IRL voting, have been discredited by the GOP; anyway, it’s too late to implement it now. Just watch: He may call for schools to remain closed, another switch. There is no legal mechanism for canceling a federal election. The Supreme Court can’t do it. There are no exceptions, not even for nuclear war. The U.S. system will have broken down. What will happen next? We have seen it many times in many other countries. Trump and his associates will not be able to allow the media to talk, the courts to rule or the politicians to criticize his coup. Trump, former president and now dictator, will censor and suppress dissent to protect his regime. Martial law will be declared. Media outlets, including social media online, will be seized and censored. Lists of potential critics and opponents — leading Democrats, academics, intellectuals, pundits, even political cartoonists — will be drawn up. Those on the list will be arrested, or worse. They say it: Fascism, authoritarianism, can’t happen here. But if you’re Donald Trump and you think you’re about to lose and go to prison, what other option do you have?”

Taylor Not so Swift By Charles Tailor

     Song bird Taylor Swift while, to her credit, not going down the nudie degenerate road as most white Nordic women are forced in the entertainment industry to go, still should keep out of politics, because she says silly things, that makes her look more like a goose. Like this:
  https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2020/08/15/taylor-swift-attacks-trump-over-usps-he-is-well-aware-that-we-do-not-want-him-as-our-president/

“Mega pop star and Democratic Party activist Taylor Swift is attacking President Donald Trump over the U.S. Postal Service, claiming that the president is trying to cheat his way to victory in November by “dismantling” the beleaguered federal agency. “Trump’s calculated dismantling of USPS proves one thing clearly,” Swift tweeted Saturday. “He is WELL AWARE that we do not want him as our president. He’s chosen to blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans’ lives at risk in an effort to hold on to power.” The U.S. Postal Service warned 46 states last week that it could not guarantee that all mail-in ballots cast for the presidential election would arrive on time. The agency continues to lose billions of dollars annually, recently saying that it lost $2.2 billion in the three months ending in June. On Saturday, President Trump defended Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, despite protests and criticism from left-wingers about the changes he is making to fix the broken agency.  The president has repeatedly criticized the Democrats’ push for vote-by-mail as a scam to hurt Republicans, saying that it will lead to a “catastrophic situation” in November.”

Chicago Anarcho-Tyranny By Charles Taylor

     Chicago is a taste of the world that is rapidly approaching us.
  https://www.foxnews.com/us/widespread-looting-reported-in-chicago-after-police-involved-shooting

“Videos circulating online show widespread looting and clashes with police across Chicago’s Magnificent Mile shopping district early Monday, sparked by an officer-involved shooting hours earlier that left a 20-year-old man wounded. Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said as of Monday morning, responding units have arrested more than 100 people so far on charges ranging from disorderly conduct to battery against police. He added that 13 officers were hurt in the unrest, including a sergeant struck in the face with a bottle and an officer who had his nose broken while scuffling with a group of looters. “This was not an organized protest. Rather, this was an incident of pure criminality," Brown told reporters. "This was an act of violence against our police officers and against our city.” Brown also said a security guard and a civilian are now in critical condition at a local hospital after being hit with gunfire during the looting overnight, and he said that five guns in total have been recovered. “I, for one, refuse to allow these cowardly acts to hold our city hostage," Brown said. "CPD will not stand by as our beautiful downtown becomes some place that people fear.” Brown says he has now ordered detectives to comb over high-definition footage of suspects and vehicles from the looting scenes, suggesting that more arrests are coming.”

Mask Mania By Brian Simpson

     Senile Joe Biden wants to make it a law that people wear masks, all the time, everywhere, every night and every day, maybe even in the shower, perhaps shaving. That is crazy, even coming from crazy Joe, but others are pushing the agenda further, as incredible as that is:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-08-16-nashville-councilwoman-charge-murder-refuse-mask.html

“A member of the Metropolitan Council of Nashville and Davidson County has suggested that residents who refuse to wear a mask should be charged with murder or attempted murder if they transmit the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) to other people. Councilwoman Sharon Hurt, an at-large member of the council, made the suggestion on August 5 during a meeting with the committees for Public Safety, Beer and Regulated Beverages and Health, Hospital and Social Services, the latter of which she is also the chairman. During this meeting, Hurt said: “My question goes back to legislation. I don’t know if Mike Jameson could be the one to answer the question, but my concern is – you know I work for an organization, that if they [transmit HIV to another person], they are tried for murder or attempted murder, if they [did not tell the person about their condition] … and this person who may very well pass this virus that’s out in the air because they’re not wearing a mask is basically doing the same thing to someone who contracts it and dies from it.” “It seems to me that we have been more reactive, as opposed to proactive, and a little too late, too little. So, my thing is, maybe there should be legislation, stronger legislation … to say that if you do not wear a mask and you subject exposure of this virus to someone else then there will be some stronger penalty as it is in other viruses that are exposed.” The person she is referring to during her statement, Mike Jameson, is a former councilman, the current director of legislative affairs for the mayor’s office and a special adviser to the mayor. Jameson responded by telling Hurt that the city council does not have the authority to do what she is proposing.”

Do Blue-Eyed Humans Have a Single Common Ancestor? No! By Brian Simpson

     I will be devoting attention to material that is contrary or supportive of Nordic racial ethnic interests, because multiculturalism says I can!

Election Fraud By Chris Knight

     The communists of the Democrats are getting ready to use election fraud to steal the election. They tried this before in 2016, and Trump should have done something about it. It seems that even pets are getting voting cards, so it shows what corruption is going on. Probably at least one in five votes will be fraudulent.
https://gellerreport.com/2020/06/1-in-5-mail-in-ballots-rejected-as-fraudulent-in-new-jersey-election.html/
  https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/06/26/1_in_5_ballots_rejected_as_fraud_is_charged_in_nj_mail-in_election_143551.html

“Following accusations of widespread fraud, voter intimidation, and ballot theft in the May 12 municipal elections in Paterson, N.J., state Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal (pictured) announced Thursday he is charging four men with voter fraud – including the vice president of the City Council and a candidate for that body. With races still undecided, control of the council hangs in the balance. Paterson is New Jersey’s third largest city and the election will decide the fate of a municipal budget in excess of $300 million, in addition to hundreds of millions more in education spending and state aid. In the City Council election, 16,747 vote-by-mail ballots were received, but only 13,557 votes were counted. More than 3,190 votes, 19% of the total ballots cast, were disqualified by the board of elections. Due to the pandemic, Paterson’s election was done through vote-by-mail. Community organizations, such as the city’s NAACP chapter, are calling for the entire election to be invalidated. Mail-in ballots have long been acknowledged by voting experts to be more susceptible to fraud and irregularities than in-person voting. This has raised concerns from President Trump and other Republicans about the integrity of national elections in November, which are expected to include a dramatic increase in mail-in ballots. If Paterson is any guide, it ought to concern Democrats as well. Over 800 ballots in Paterson were invalidated for appearing in mailboxes improperly bundled together – including a one mailbox where hundreds of ballots were in a single packet. The bundles were turned over to law enforcement to investigate potential criminal activity related to the collection of the ballots.”

Cities Reaching the Use-By Date By Charles Taylor

     Here is a new concept in collapseology: cites reaching an expiration date, going rotten like dairy products that have to be chucked out of the fridge.
  https://www.zerohedge.com/political/49-people-shot-last-72-hours-new-york-city-hits-its-expiration-date

“The gentrified New York City that made the Big Apple the envy of billionaires, oligarchs, child molesters and money laundering criminals from around the world is no more, and in its place is the hellish New York from the 1970s. According to Gothamist, between Thursday and Saturday, 49 people were shot in the largest city in the United States, as the uptick in gun violence continues this summer and is rushing to catch up with that other progressive paradise, Chicago. Putting the surge in context, the number of people shot over the three days is five times more than the eight who were shot during the same days last year according to the Washington Examiner. While most of the shooting victims were merely wounded, at least six people were killed by gunshot wounds over the 3-day interval, compared to three homicides that took place during the same time last year. Year to date, there have been 1,087 shooting victims so far in 888 different incidents throughout the city, roughly double the crime observed in 2019. Last year at this time, there had been 577 shooting victims in 488 incidents in New York City. Among those murdered was an off-duty corrections officer who worked at Rikers Island. John Jeff, 28, had just left a party in Queens at 3 a.m. on Saturday morning when he was shot in the head and chest. "Early this morning, the Correction Officers' Benevolent Association was notified that New York City Correction Officer John Jeff, assigned to the Anna M. Kross Center on Rikers Island, was found dead in South Jamaica Queens. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds. He was 28 years old and was on the job for just over two years with his whole life and career ahead of him. He was well-liked and highly regarded by his fellow officers,” Correction Officers Benevolent Association President Benny Boscio Jr. said in a statement. Neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots outside their homes, and sources told ABC 7 the killing appeared to be planned.

London Says it All By Richard Miller

     What is non-white majority London up to while America is burned, or is it now burnt down? Well, London mayor, Sadiq Khan, is establishing the new diversity regime with statues to migration, the new god.

  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/06/22/london-erect-statues-mass-migration/

“Two large sculptures celebrating mass migration will be unveiled in London next year, the Guardian has revealed. It was announced Monday, on the UK’s second ever ‘Windrush Day’, that works by artists Thomas J Price and Veronica Ryan will be erected in London’s Hackney borough in 2021. Windrush Day commemorates the beginning of the modern mass migration era in Britain in 1948, and was instituted in 2018 after some members of that original generation of post-war migrant arrivals were detained and deported because of government error, causing a significant scandal. The pieces, which include a sculpture of fruit and a nine-foot statue of a Hackney local are “a statement of pride” for members of the so-called Windrush generation and their descendants, according to the Mayor of Hackney, Philip Glanville. The Labour politician said the new works would not be “an answer to the statue conversation” that has emerged with the Black Lives Matter protests, which have seen demonstrators vandalise and tear down sculptures of white figures across the UK. “But I think it’s an early down payment on righting some of that wrong, and a chance to see more diverse people represented in a public realm,” he said in remarks reported by the Guardian.

Blacklisting Black listings By Mrs Vera West

     I like this one from Texas, which is an amusing case of wokeism and political correctness, where master bedrooms come under attack.
  https://www.zerohedge.com/political/texas-realtors-stop-using-master-bedroom-over-slavery-connotations

“White Americans trying to outcompete each other in the wokelympics have found a new word to blacklist eliminate from the public lexicon over its ties to slavery. According to TMZ, the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) - which has one black guy in a leadership position - "is no longer using the word "master" to hype bedrooms and bathrooms on its Multiple Listing Service." Going forward, they will be referred to as "primary" bedrooms and bathrooms, avoiding insensitive and awkward encounters which HAR claims has been "raised and considered for several years," according to the report. Houston area realtors are still free to use the 'offending' term, however, as HAR's newfound wokeness is just a suggestion. Given the woke mob's ability to cancel 'offensive' content, concepts and now words, we have a few questions for clarification:

The Coming Zombie Apocalypse University! By James Reed

     This is an article which uses metaphors for the modern university that I have used in the past, that of the zombie, the walking dead, so my heart rejoices:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/nyu-prof-hundreds-if-not-thousands-universities-will-soon-be-walking-dead
  https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15129

“As colleges attempt to recover from the pandemic and prepare for future semesters, a New York University professor estimates that the next 5-10 years will see one to two thousand schools going out of business. Scott Galloway, professor of marketing at the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business told Hari Sreenivasan on PBS’ “Amanpour and Co.” that many colleges are likely to suffer to the point of eventual extinction as a result of the coronavirus. He sets up a selection of tier-two universities as those most likely not to walk away from the shutdown unscathed. During the pandemic, wealthy companies have not struggled to survive. Similarly, he says, “there is no luxury brand like higher education,” and the top names will emerge from coronavirus without difficulty. “Regardless of enrollments in the fall, with endowments of $4 billion or more, Brown and NYU will be fine,” Galloway wrote in a blog post. “However, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of universities with a sodium pentathol cocktail of big tuition and small endowments that will begin their death march this fall.” “You’re gonna see an incredible destruction among companies that have the following factors: a tier-two brand; expensive tuition, and low endowments,” he said on “Amanpour and Co.,” because “there’s going to be demand destruction because more people are gonna take gap years, and you’re going to see increased pressure to lower costs.” Approximating that a thousand to two thousand of the country's 4,500 universities could go out of business in the next 5-10 years, Galloway concludes, “what department stores were to retail, tier-two higher tuition universities are about to become to education and that is they are soon going to become the walking dead.” Another critical issue underlying the financial difficulties families and universities both face is the possibility that the quality of higher education has decreased. Galloway argues that an education in the U.S. is observably unsatisfactory for the amount that it costs, given that if you “walk into a class, it doesn’t look, smell or feel much different than it did 40 years ago, except tuition’s up 1,400 percent,” he said during an interview with Dr. Sanjay Gupta. And the pandemic, according to Galloway, has served to expose the quality of higher education. “Students I think across America along with their families listening in on these Zoom classes are all beginning to wonder what kind of value, or lack thereof, they’re getting for their tuition dollars,” he said.”

Oh, the System Will Not Allow the Rich to be Eaten! By Chris Knight

     Given the antifa home invasions, it is interesting to observe that the system is not going to let the socialists, at least at first, eat the rich. Maybe after a regime change there will be the conventional slaughter.

“Law enforcement officials had to respond to a large group of Black Lives Matters activists late on Friday night that stormed a Beverly Hills residential neighborhood chanting “Eat the rich!” and “Abolish capitalism now!”
The Beverly Hills Police Department tweeted: “The unlawful assembly in the area of Rexford Dr & Carmelita Ave has ended with arrests being made. Protesters have now left the City.” Videos and photographs of the mob flooded social media as they shouted various messages throughout the residential neighborhood and tore down American flags. Human Events Managing Editor Ian Miles Cheong compiled video highlights from the demonstrators on his Twitter account, noting that the group marched through residential neighborhoods in Beverly Hills shouting “Eat the rich1” and “Abolish capitalism now!” (posts below). “The Black Lives Matter mob shut down Santa Monica Boulevard, Rodeo Drive, and intersections around the city center,” wrote Cheong. At one point the group “seized a privately owned American flag in a residential suburb, shredding it and pulling it down.” In the residential areas, video shows, the group played “loud music and blocked the streets.” “The police showed up in full force to arrest members of the Black Lives Matter mob making a nuisance of themselves across residential Los Angeles streets,” Cheong captions one post with video of police arresting members of the group. “One pretended to be injured by the police and forced them to drag him.”
