Turning on Their Own By Bruce Bennett

     A professor says that the publishing industry is not racist, and now he faces sacking. And, he is a supporter of BLM. Well, the revolution is “eating its own,” now:
  https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-of-pennsylvania-professor-says-publishing-industry-isnt-racist-critics-are-trying-to-get-him-fired/

“‘I am pro-Black Lives Matter. I am not racist, not by a long shot’
A University of Pennsylvania professor may be kicked out of leadership in a prestigious literary group for privately disputing the wording of a proposed Black Lives Matter statement. The National Book Critics Circle said it’s “facilitating a special membership meeting” to vote on the removal of Carlin Romano from its board, citing a request from “more than 30 regular members.” Romano’s critics are trying to get him fired by Penn as well. More than 240 people have signed a petition demanding that Penn’s Annenberg School for Communication, where Romano (above) teaches media theory and philosophy, “prohibit Carlin Romano from teaching at Penn this fall or ever again.” The professor’s job at Penn does not appear to be in immediate danger. Neither Penn media relations nor Annenberg Director of Communications Julie Sloane responded to College Fix queries about Romano’s job. While NPR described Romano’s comments as “racist,” his primary objection to the proposed statement was that it ignored the American publishing industry’s efforts to promote black authors in the past few decades. Romano, a former NBCC president and its current vice president of grants, also said he bore no “culpability” for the supposed “erasure of BIPOC [black, indigenous and people of color] voices” in publishing, as the statement described the industry. “I myself have probably written more articles and reviews about Philadelphia’s black literature and traditions in my 25 years at the [Philadelphia] Inquirer than anyone living, black or white,” he wrote in the email to fellow board members that is now being used against him. He also objected to the media’s portrayal of his comments in the private email, telling The Daily Pennsylvanian: “I am pro-Black Lives Matter. I am in favor of greater diversity in the book publishing business. I am not racist, not by a long shot.”

On Banning all Non-Aboriginal Religions? By Ian Wilson LL.B

      Here is a petition before the Queensland parliament, which illustrates how mad things are getting:
  https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/work-of-assembly/petitions/petition-details?id=3380

“TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House certain religious organisations operating in Queensland have a prime belief that a supreme being created the Earth about 6000 years ago. This is an anathema to many sciences and in particular to Aboriginal culture which is 60,000 to 120,000 years old. The creationist religions effectively deny Aboriginal history and culture thereby breaching our racist vilification laws. Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to ensure that religious organisations preaching that a supreme being created the Earth about 6000 years ago not receive any State government assistance, exemptions, subsidies or funding.”

Coon Cheese gets Cancelled By James Reed

     I understand; someone found it offensive; but at least we still have the tastiest cheese on the planet, to eat at home under lock down and cancellation. Once cheese is banned itself, whatever shall I do for fibre?
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8555439/Coon-cheese-dead-Foreign-owners-kill-controversial-brand-Australia.html?ito=push-notification&ci=24543&si=12817605

“The Coon cheese brand name will be scrapped from Australian supermarkets after 78 years by its Canadian owners. Aboriginal activists have spent the past 20 years lobbying to have the brand name changed as the word 'coon' is demeaning to people of colour. On Friday, the company announced it had decided to retire the Coon brand name. The move comes after the Black Lives Matter movement gathered momentum in the wake of the death of George Floyd. The company confirmed it would look for a new name which 'aligned with current attitudes'. We performed a careful and diligent review of this sensitive situation,’ the CEO of Saputo, which makes the cheese, Lino Saputo Jr said. 'We wanted to ensure we listened to all the concerns surrounding the COON brand name, while also considering comments from consumers who cherish the brand and recognise the origin of its founder Edward William Coon, which they feel connected to. 'After thorough consideration, Saputo has decided to retire the COON brand name. 'As part of this process of transformation, we commit to keep our stakeholders informed as we move forward.”

Settling of the Americas Prehistory By Brian Simpson

     The idea that the ancestors of the American Indians, the Clovis people of around 11,00 years ago, were the only people to settle the Americas in prehistory has been facing challenge, even in our pc times. Of course, evidence of white settlement is always discounted.
  https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-53486868

“Humans settled in the Americas much earlier than previously thought, according to new finds from Mexico. They suggest people were living there 33,000 years ago, twice the widely accepted age for the earliest settlement of the Americas. The results are based on work at Chiquihuite Cave, a high-altitude rock shelter in central Mexico. Archaeologists found nearly 2,000 stone tools, suggesting the cave was used by people for at least 20,000 years.

Ok To be White? By James Reed

     The “ok to be white meme,” has produced the expected violent reactions. But, the question must now be asked, when a parliament votes against this, they are saying that it is not ok to be white. But, in multiculturalism, where all races and cultures are equal, how can that be? It cannot be, as argued in more detail in the posts below, so what this proves is that there is a conspiracy against whiteness.
  https://www.counter-currents.com/2020/07/its-okay-to-be-white-2/#more-120936
  https://www.counter-currents.com/2020/07/towards-a-right-wing-critical-theory/#more-120952
  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-22/australian-soldiers-signal-with-confederate-flag-in-afghanistan/12476530

“When the slogan “It’s okay to be white” first appeared on 4chan’s /pol/ in 2017, it was promoted as a diagnostic tool to help convince “normies” that we live under anti-white regimes. After all, how could anyone object to “It’s okay to be white”? The slogan does not claim that being white is great. It does not claim that being white is better. It merely says that being white is okay, which is the faintest possible praise. Furthermore, “It’s okay to be white” says nothing at all about other races. It certainly doesn’t denigrate them. So on what grounds could one object to saying “It’s okay to be white”? As Tucker Carlson put it, “What’s the correct position? That it’s not okay to be white?” If multiculturalism is truly an ideology of equality and inclusion, then multiculturalists should have no problem saying “It’s okay to be white.” They would grant it the same status as “Black is beautiful” and “It’s okay to be different.” Indeed, whiteness is one form of difference. Clearly, one could object to a statement as innocuous as “It’s okay to be white” only if one really has something against white people, specifically a deep hatred or prejudice. This is why it is such a useful diagnostic tool. “It’s okay to be white” flyers and stickers were posted widely in the United States and other white countries, primarily in the Anglosphere. As its creators predicted, the slogan provoked an immediate and intense backlash, far out of proportion to the inoffensive message. Upon seeing “It’s okay to be white” signs and stickers, the first reaction of hundreds of people was to call the police. This can be verified simply by entering the words “police” and “It’s okay to be white” in the search engine of your choice. (DuckDuckGo gives the best results.) This happened even in the United States, where the First Amendment to the US Constitution protects freedom of speech.”

Normal is Never By James Reed

     As it says in the good Book: “What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter. What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever. What sorrow for those who are heroes at drinking wine and boast about all the alcohol they can hold. They take bribes to let the wicked go free, and they punish the innocent. Therefore, just as fire licks up stubble and dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will rot and their flowers wither. For they have rejected the law of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.” Isaiah 5: 20-24. Those who have inflicted this inversion of reality upon us, have get to meet their just deserts, but I am sure that they have over-extended, and unleashed forces that will consume them, in the end.
  https://www.studyfinds.org/nostalgic-for-2019-americans-worry-life-will-never-go-back-to-normal/

“According to a new survey of 2,000 Americans, many among us are worried the world will never return to its simpler, pre-coronavirus state. All in all, 75% of surveyed Americans said they fear life will never return to what was once “normal.” The survey, commissioned by Torch, asks respondents how they envision the world will appear in the wake of COVID-19. One overarching theme that participants echo is just how different the workplace, and employment in general, will be. As of now, 59% of surveyed Americans admit they would be far too afraid to start reporting to a shared workplace once again. Meanwhile, 36% have concerns they’ll never be able to get back to the office without potentially putting themselves and their family in harm’s way. Interestingly, when asked about their manager or boss, 60% shares the belief that their supervisor didn’t handle the transition to remote work quite as well as he or she should have. Also, 67% think their employer doesn’t understand how hard it is to work from home, especially for parents. Of course, parent or not, it seems pretty much everyone is feeling more on edge these days. Most survey participants (64%) don’t feel as productive as they should be due to intrusive feelings of pandemic-related anxiety. Even when offices do eventually re-open, there’s still the major problem of commuting to consider; 70% of respondents say just the thought of using public transit stresses them out. Similarly, another 64% think their employer should be much more flexible regarding remote work, even when offices are fully reopened. Is there any way to improve productivity while working from home? Somewhat surprisingly, 70% of Americans wouldn’t mind talking to a work coach to help with efficiency. Close to 75% of survey participants believe handshakes are now a relic of the past. Another 45% think companies should start administering temperature checks before office entrance is permitted.”

Coming soon: 1,000, 000 G Tech to Cook the Planet, Maybe Solar System By Brian Simpson

     The technocrats would not stop at 5G technology, but immediately are going to 6G. Then it will be 7G, and finally infinity G, until the entire planet is cooked, everything melted down to the molten core of the Earth. Only when total universal destruction of the planet comes, can the elites stop, because they would have melted too:

“6G is coming! Well, not anytime soon but it is expected to be keep the world connected by the year 2028. Samsung has released its 6G white paper, providing details on what can be expected. We are still waiting for 5G that is expected in mid-2020, but "it’s not too early to start preparing for 6G.” “While 5G commercialization is still in its initial stage, it’s never too early to start preparing for 6G because it typically takes around 10 years from the start of research to commercialization of a new generation of communications technology,” said Sunghyun Choi, Head of the Advanced Communications Research Center. “We’ve already launched the research and development of 6G technologies by building upon the experience and ability we have accumulated from working on multiple generations of communications technology, including 5G. Going forward, we are committed to leading the standardization of 6G in collaboration with various stakeholders across industry, academia and government fields.” “Samsung defines three categories of requirements that have to be met to realize 6G services – performance, architectural and trustworthiness requirements.” Samsung is set to begin 6G research in "full-scale" this year, said Choi. It also aims to have started extensive work on defining and developing technical standards in 2021. In the white paper, Samsung expects that the completion of the 6G standard and its earliest commercialization date could be as early as 2028. Mass commercialisation may occur around 2030, with humans and machines (yes, machines) being the main users of 6G.

A Loss in the Federal Court By Ian Wilson LL. B

     Unfortunately, there has been a loss in the Peter Ridd Case in the Federal Court:
  https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/james-cook-university-wins-appeal-over-12m-peter-ridd-judgment/news-story/ff08fe521298a1f50c85acc264e4acba
  https://www.judgments.fedcourt.gov.au/judgments/Judgments/fca/full/2020/2020fcafc0123

“James Cook University has won a bid to overturn a court decision last year awarding $1.2m to outspoken professor Peter Ridd over his sacking for criticising climate science and fellow academics at the Townsville-based institution. The full bench of the Federal Circuit Court on Wednesday found JCU was within its rights to sack Professor Ridd for “serious misconduct” in 2018 after he publicly disparaged his colleagues and claimed the university’s Great Barrier Reef global warming science was misleading and sensationalist. Defending his actions, the marine physicist said it was within his right to intellectual freedom but the full court ruled that liberty was constrained by the behavioural standards of the university’s code of conduct. Professor Ridd confirmed to The Australian on Wednesday that he had sought legal advice about challenging the verdict in the High Court. The university stalwart was given an initial warning in April 2016 after he emailed a journalist and criticised his colleague Professor Terry Hughes, the head of JCU’s Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, for using “misleading” images portraying “broad scale decline” in the health of the Great Barrier Reef. The university found he had breached the code of conduct because he had not acted collegiately.”

How is this for Bare-Faced Absurdity: The Fall of the Rule of Law By Charles Taylor (Florida)

     First the story, which is utterly incredible, even in this age of the absurd, then my exasperated comments:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/political/patricia-mccloskey-pistol-was-non-operable-prop-so-prosecutors-office-ordered-it

“The pistol Patricia McCloskey waved at protesters who broke down a gate to trespass on their private street was a non-operable 'prop' used during a lawsuit they were involved in, so a member of Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner's staff ordered the crime lab to disassemble and reassemble the gun - allowing them to classify it as "capable of lethal use" in charging documents filed Monday, according to KSDK5. In Missouri, police and prosecutors must prove that a weapon is “readily” capable of lethal use when it is used in the type of crime with which the McCloskeys have been charged. Assistant Circuit Attorney Chris Hinckley ordered crime lab staff members to field strip the handgun and found it had been assembled incorrectly. Specifically, the firing pin spring was put in front of the firing pin, which was backward, and made the gun incapable of firing, according to documents obtained by 5 On Your Side. Firearms experts then put the gun back together in the correct order and test-fired it, finding that it worked, according to the documents.”

Get Rid of Whitey! By Richard Miller

     For BLM activists, there is only one enemy, and that is white men; maybe White women can be racially recycled, you know, as booty, or to make sandwiches/burgers and fries.
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/07/21/watch-blm-activist-says-white-men-are-common-enemy/

“At a Black Lives Matter demonstration in London, a self-described mixed-race member of the LGBT community said that the concept of intersectionality means that there is “one common enemy: the white man” and therefore “we need to get rid of them”. On Sunday, Black Lives Matter protesters marched from Marble Arch in Hyde Park to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, where speakers spoke out against systemic racism and capitalism. One of the speakers said that to understand the movement, it is important to understand the tenants of the left-wing sociological concept of “intersectionality”. “You can’t talk about education, and you can’t talk about black issues, and LGBT issues, and exclude them as if they’re some individual issue; you need to be looking at this using intersectionality,” he said in a Breitbart London exclusive video. The speaker said that intersectionality “means recognising that there is one common enemy: the white man. The systems that they use are capitalism, patriarchy, and fascism. They were created and perpetuated by white men, for white men, in the interests of white men.” He added that “once we realise that we are all fighting the same fight, it just strengthens the army. A problem shared is a problem halved. Imagine if we all realised and came together and grouped together?” “All of these groups of people, the issues they face, it all comes from the same people: white men. So we need to get rid of them,” he said, going on to suggest that — sotto voce — people should “kill the rich”.

New York Times: Anarcho-Tyranny By Charles Taylor (Florida)

     How low can they go? The New York Times is apparently, according to  TV host Tucker Carlson, who is leading the charge against the present madness in the US, and who has some impact upon Trump. So, naturally the new class would want to silence him.
  https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/21/tucker-carlson-slams-new-york-times-planning-write-about-him/

“On his Monday night program, Carlson scolded: “Last week, the New York Times began working on a story about where my family and I live,” said the host. “As a matter of journalism, there is no conceivable justification for a story like that. The paper is not alleging we’ve done anything wrong, and we haven’t. We pay our taxes. We like our neighbors. We’ve never had a dispute with anyone.” As he continued, Carlson cranked up the conspiracy-speak: “So why is the New York Times doing a story on the location of my family’s house? Well, you know why. To hurt us. To injure my wife and kids so that I will shut up and stop disagreeing with them. They believe in force. We’ve learned that.” With that, Carlson told the story of how protesters show up at his home in 2018. “A group of screaming antifa lunatics showed up while I was at work. They vandalized our home. They threatened my wife. She called 911 while hiding in a closet.”

Lying about Georg Floyd By Chris Knight

     It is taking some time, but I guess the system is keeping a lid on things as best they can, given how useful the Floyd thing has been to deconstructing the West. That and the Wuhan flu freak-out, as we are calling it here, have delivered to the globalists, benefits they perhaps only dreamt of last year.  But back to George:
  https://www.amren.com/news/2020/07/the-lies-behind-the-george-floyd-case/
  http://www.usasurvival.org/blog/the-lies-behind-the-george-floyd-case

“The George Floyd riots that resulted in $500 million worth of damage to Minneapolis were based on a lie. With more evidence now available, one possible verdict is that the drugs in his system contributed to his death, as he was out of control and resisted arrest. Transcripts of police body camera recordings of the confrontation demonstrate that George Floyd, the so-called “gentle giant,” was foaming at the mouth and so out of control that the police had no alternative but to pin him down with a knee to the neck, an acceptable police procedure when a suspect goes berserk.  A legal memorandum in the case, seeking dismissal of the charges, was filed by an attorney for one of the officers and incorporates the facts from the body cameras:  “Floyd had just committed a felony, he was not being cooperative, and appeared to be under the influence of drugs. There was a lengthy struggle to get 6 foot four, 223 pound Floyd into the car.” (Other reports put Floyd’s height at 6 foot six or seven). He was 46 years old. With new evidence showing the police acted properly, the charges could be dismissed. If they are not, we can anticipate not-guilty verdicts in a fair trial that will be exploited to further feed the fires of racial animosity in the hands of the Black Lives Matter agitators. Or else the trial will be rigged and police will be framed for crimes they didn’t commit, in order to tamp down the potential for more riots. These are the stakes as the new evidence has emerged, throwing into doubt the charges of murder and aiding murder filed against the four police officers.

The BBC and the Great Replacement By Richard Miller

     There, there, trust the good old leftoid BBC to led the black cat out of the bag. Or is that the migrant cat, who has been a big quiet during these Wuhan flu freak-out times, but is coming back fast to make up for lost time, for nothing, no man-made event, or disease of nature shall halt White genocide and the Great Replacement.
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/07/16/bbc-fertility-crash-mass-migration/

“First world countries must respond to a “jaw-dropping” crash in fertility by totally opening their borders to unlimited mass migration, according to “experts” interviewed by the BBC. Falling fertility rates are “a success story” because they mean more women are in work and are not having children, according to a report by the BBC published on Wednesday. It is shocking, however, that lower fertility rates will result in 23 countries, including Spain and Japan, seeing their populations drop by more than half by 2100, Professor Christopher Murray told the state media organ. “That’s a pretty big thing; most of the world is transitioning into natural population decline,” the researcher said, adding: “I think it’s incredibly hard to think this through and recognise how big a thing this is; it’s extraordinary, we’ll have to reorganise societies.” “You might think this is great for the environment. A smaller population would reduce carbon emissions as well as deforestation for farmland,” says the BBC, which has been promoting a “child-free” life to British women for decades as “liberation” and as a means to “save the planet”. But “who pays tax in a massively aged world?” the state broadcaster asks, going on to tell readers that there must be a massive population transfer from Africa to the first world to make up for a deficit of babies. “Countries, including the UK, have used migration to boost their population and compensate for falling fertility rates,” asserts the BBC, neglecting to mention that third world migration has been a huge net drain on the British treasury. To support this argument, the broadcaster speaks to mass migration enthusiast, Professor Ibrahim Abubakar from University College London (UCL), who said: “If these predictions are even half accurate, migration will become a necessity for all nations and not an option. “To be successful, we need a fundamental rethink of global politics. The distribution of working-age populations will be crucial to whether humanity prospers or withers.”

Breaking Down the Social Bonds By James Reed

     Here is an article that is saying some of the dreaded apocalyptic things that characters at this most loved site regularly say, usually with a half empty glass of some alcoholic beverage close by to dull the pain. The boundaries that once held society together, says Professor Frank Furedi, are breaking down (or being broken) and disaster awaits:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-8537643/Boundaries-separating-adults-children-men-women-humans-animals-eroded.html

“Teaching children to ‘know their boundaries’ is a vital part of their education. This is because throughout the history of mankind, boundaries have played a key role in communities making moral distinctions between right and wrong. But increasingly today, those distinctions have become blurred. It is not merely the boundaries that divide nations that are under attack, with borders being weakened as politicians try to create super-states. The boundaries that separate adults from children, men from women, humans from animals and private from public lives are also being eroded. As a result, I fear that the bonds that hold society together are breaking. This, in turn, leads to another destructive influence – the fact that we are living in an age of non-judgmentalism. Indeed, there is a reason why we use the phrase ‘crossing the line’ – it signals that someone has violated society’s accepted moral code. It’s no wonder some politicians hate boundaries. Jean-Claude Juncker, former President of the European Commission – that behemoth which brought about the abolition of many of the EU’s internal frontiers through the Schengen Agreement – has described borders as ‘the worst invention ever made by politicians’. The effect of such a mindset that considers national borders as artificial, exclusionary, unjust or anti-human has been a disaster. By not drawing lines between nation states, how can we make important distinctions between different people? For borders are not just physical boundaries. Removing them leads to a state of mind that ignores the history of human development during which walls and borders were constructed to create security and peace. Now, however, national sovereignty is often belittled as an irrelevance in a globalised world. But without symbolic borders, people lose a large part of their national identity. The result? A cultural crisis.”

When Will They Murder Ghislaine Maxwell? Now? How about Now? By Peter West

     Not doing too much writing these days due to illness, took a long time to recover from a mild stroke, but doing fine otherwise, thanks for all the cards and letters, a real help. Anyway, talking about summary executions, I really don’t like the name “Ghislaine,” because I always spell it wrong, missing out the letter “i,” and am only saved by the New World Order spell check, but I would not kill anybody for having such a name.  But Ghislaine Maxwell, who helped run Epstein’s paedo ring, is worried that she might get knocked off by the same band of evil globalist Satanic elites who killed her master. No, why worry, it will all be ok, so long as you commit suicide first!
  https://www.the-sun.com/news/1161694/ghislaine-maxwell-jeffrey-epstein-murdered-same-fate/

“GHISLAINE Maxwell believes her former lover Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in his prison cell — and fears she will meet the same grisly fate behind bars. Friends said she hired bodyguards before being arrested after receiving death threats. Ghislain Maxwell believes her former lover Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in his prison cell — and fears she will meet the same fate while being held. The socialite was denied bail on sex trafficking charges and faces a year-long wait inside Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre before trial. A family friend told The Sun on Sunday Maxwell, 58, fears she will be bumped off inside the brutal New York jail which warders describe as a “hellhole”. Another source said: “It’s the same as Guantanamo Bay — lights on, noise and constant interruption of sleep”. An inquest ruled that Epstein's death last August at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Detention Centre was suicide. But the 66-year-old was taken off suicide watch before he died despite being injured from either a suicide bid or an attack weeks earlier. Cameras covering Epstein's cell were faulty. His death by hanging sparked theories he was silenced to stop him selling out paedo friends. Cameras covering his cell were faulty and guards falsified checks. Maxwell’s friend said: “Everyone’s view including Ghislaine’s is Epstein was murdered. She received death threats before she was arrested.” The pal was in regular contact with Maxwell at her secret New Hampshire hideaway.”

What if Your Black Ancestor Sold Slaves? By Richard Miller (London)

     What about Black slave owners, and worse, those blacks that sold the slaves to the slave traders in the first place? Here is one response to what looks like becoming a real moral dilemma … no, not really, since the entire narrative is controlled and no recalcitrant evidence will ever enter the major debate, or be seriously addressed. Whitey is eternally guilty, for everything.
  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-53444752

“Nigerian journalist and novelist Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani writes that one of her ancestors sold slaves, but argues that he should not be judged by today's standards or values. My great-grandfather, Nwaubani Ogogo Oriaku, was what I prefer to call a businessman, from the Igbo ethnic group of south-eastern Nigeria. He dealt in a number of goods, including tobacco and palm produce. He also sold human beings. "He had agents who captured slaves from different places and brought them to him," my father told me. Nwaubani Ogogo's slaves were sold through the ports of Calabar and Bonny in the south of what is today known as Nigeria. People from ethnic groups along the coast, such as the Efik and Ijaw, usually acted as stevedores for the white merchants and as middlemen for Igbo traders like my great-grandfather. They loaded and offloaded ships and supplied the foreigners with food and other provisions. They negotiated prices for slaves from the hinterlands, then collected royalties from both the sellers and buyers. About 1.5 million Igbo slaves were shipped across the Atlantic Ocean between the 15th and 19th Centuries. More than 1.5 million Africans were shipped to what was then called the New World - the Americas - through the Calabar port, in the Bight of Bonny, making it one of the largest points of exit during the transatlantic trade. It would be unfair to judge a 19th Century man by 21st Century principles. Assessing the people of Africa's past by today's standards would compel us to cast the majority of our heroes as villains, denying us the right to fully celebrate anyone who was not influenced by Western ideology. Igbo slave traders like my great-grandfather did not suffer any crisis of social acceptance or legality. They did not need any religious or scientific justifications for their actions. They were simply living the life into which they were raised. That was all they knew.”

Banning Self-Defence … For Whites Only By Charles Taylor

     That now famous image from June 2020, of the White couple defending their home from raging urban terrorists is now about to be surpassed by a new level of madness and as we   enter previously unheard-of levels of anarcho-tyranny. Not only has the hubby’s beautiful AR 15 home defence gun been taken, but the couple has been charged with a felony weapons violation, but no antifa home invaders have been charged, surprise, surprise.

  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/07/20/missouri-couple-facing-felony-charges-after-holding-guns-to-protect-home/

“The St. Louis, Missouri, couple who held guns in their hands in hopes of preventing protesters from damaging their property are now facing felony charges. Fox News reported that Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner told the Associated Press that Mark and Patricia McCloskey will face felony charge for “unlawful use of a weapon” and also a misdemeanor charge for fourth degree assault. On June 28, a video was posted to Twitter showing the McCloskeys holding firearms to protect their home: On June 30, Breitbart News reported an investigation had been opened against the couple. The New York Post quoted Gardner saying, “I am alarmed at the events that occurred over the weekend, where peaceful protestors were met by guns.” Gardner added, “We must protect the right to peacefully protest, and any attempt to chill it through intimidation or threat of deadly force will not be tolerated.” On July 11, Breitbart News reported that the rifle in the June 28 video was seized from the McCloskey’s home as police executed a search warrant. More recently, the Hill reported that Missouri Gov. Mike Parson believed the McCloskeys simply “did what they legally should do.” He added, “A mob does not have the right to charge your property. They had every right to protect themselves.” Parson used a July 18 tweet to say, “We will not allow law-abiding citizens to be targeted for exercising their constitutional rights.”

Fighting Mandatory Vaccination By Mrs Vera West

     At long last, a possible legal challenge to the mandatory child vax laws. And don’t expect George Soros or Bill Gates to be sending a truck load of cash to fund it. It, as always, is back to the people to fight for their freedom:

“A NSW law firm that last month congratulated Victorians for not taking COVID-19 tests is behind a push to get No Jab No Play rules in SA scrapped. G & B Lawyers - with offices in Sydney and Wollongong - has told supporters it is confident an injunction to freeze the commencement date of No Jab No Play laws for child care centres in SA will be successful. The laws will take effect on August 7. But Health Minister Stephen Wade said any reduction to vaccines, especially during the COVID-19 era, was reckless. G & B Lawyers partner Nathan Buckley has set up a GoFundMe page aimed at raising money to take the State Government to court arguing the new laws are in breach of the Constitution. Last month a post on the G & B Lawyers Facebook page congratulated Victorians for “exercising their right not to have medical interventions forced upon them by refusing to be tested for COVID-19.” “Well done to you Victorians. Keep exercising your rights,” the post said. Another post attributed to Mr Buckley raised concerns about aged care workers having to have a flu vaccination. “Through the so-called public health laws, the Australian Government are trying to control every aspect of our lives,” the post said. Mr Wade said the government is firm in its resolve to protect children from vaccine-preventable diseases through its No Jab, No Play legislation. “The legislation will exclude unvaccinated children from early childhood services,” Mr Wade said. “Unfortunately, the access of children to services will be disrupted unless their parents arrange for them to be vaccinated but as we struggle to find a vaccine for COVID-19, it would be reckless not to protect children, their services and the wider community from the diseases for which we have vaccines.” Mr Buckley, who did not respond to The Advertiser on Tuesday, is asking for $33,000 to help fight the case. On Monday a new post on the legal firm’s Facebook page said “Barrister’s advice that we have reasonable prospects of success to overthrow the SA no jab no play laws”. The advice suggested the new SA laws are inconsistent with Commonwealth disability discrimination, but did not explain how.”

Anatomy and Political Correctness By Mrs Vera West

     It had to happen: now there is a move to remove the names of body parts, even diseases, named after males, because, males are bad, bad, bad …  well, at least white males. But it is problem:  if anything was named after Black males, since then we have the race pc ideology going up against the feminist one, and it seems that race trumps sex, it all falls in a heap. So, feminists, beware! Carefully choose your targets!

“Human body parts named after “men, kings and gods” have been deemed irrelevant and misogynistic by some Australian doctors who no longer seek to salute the ideas of dead, male anatomists. A specialist obstetrician in the state of Queensland, gynaecologist and anatomy lecturer, Dr Kristin Small, is urging her students to drop gender bias and what she calls irrelevant and misogynistic medical language. She believes the terms invoke the jaded beliefs of older generations and wants more practical and descriptive terms for body parts. “I think we have a personal choice to decolonise our language and these historical terms will fade out,” Dr Small told the Brisbane Courier Mail. Dr Small makes sure her students still know the accepted, older terms for exam purposes but maintains there are always alternatives for the “dead man’s name.” Council member for the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Dr Nisha Khot, is another teaching trainee doctors to look at alternative terminology. The newspaper reports she also wants to defeat a patriarchal history of medical definition which reinforces the fact women are not represented in most of the 700 parts of the body named after people. “The young trainee doctors are mostly keen to learn the more relevant language and are often shocked when they hear the origins of some medical terms,” she said. The word “hysterectomy” originated from a time when women were treated for female hysteria by removing the uterus. Surgical instruments and tactics are also named after men, such as the Pfannensteil incision, which was named after a man who published a paper on incisions in 1900. The Achilles tendon, the tough band of fibrous tissue that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone, is named after the mythological Greek warrior, Achilles. Dr Small lamented much of the female reproductive system is named “after dead dudes” and inhibits her desire to subvert the patriarchy in a modern, practical way.”

Chinese-Funded Civil War Update By Charles Taylor (Florida)

     It seems Leftists are arming up, thanks to their commo mates in China, who are supposedly supplying money and guns.
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-07-19-black-lives-matter-terror-cells-will-carry-out-flash-mob-killing-sprees-civil-war.html

“Civil war is now inevitable in America as left-wing terrorism groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter grow ever more confident thanks to 269 corporations funnelling hundreds of millions of dollars into their hands, some of which is being used to purchase automatic weapons parts smuggled into the United States by China. Update: The China weapons smuggling ring has now expanded into Louisville, Kentucky as well as Detroit, both hubs of Black Lives Matter terrorist recruitment, as well as the NFAC black militant groups who are already marching in formation, wielding weapons and threatening White occupants of vehicles. It’s no exaggeration to state that [list of corporates] well-known brands are now openly supporting left-wing terrorist operations in America. And they offer no apologies for doing so. This is the new America, where the tech giants, the media and the corporations are all-in with left-wing terrorists who openly call for killing police, executing Whites and overthrowing the government. Fact check: Black Lives Matter is run by trained Marxist anarchists like Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi. Via Law Enforcement Today: According to Patrisse Cullors in a 2015 interview: “Myself and Alicia, in particular, are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists.”
