“We’re on the cusp of a civil war. No matter which side wins”

From the Doug Casey’s interview

We’re on the cusp of a civil war. No matter which side wins, the other side will be bitterly and perhaps violently unhappy. The election will be contested by the loser in any number of ways. It’s likely to be a chaotic and ugly situation

But the Blues and the Reds really despise each other and seem incapable of polite discourse. It’s completely unique in living memory. And the mutual antagonism is getting worse, not better

The best analogy for the United States today might be China in the late 1960s

The US is experiencing a cultural revolution to eliminate anything that’s traditional. The Chinese Cultural Revolution was about getting rid of the Four Olds—old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas

The Woke Revolution going on today is similar in lots of aspects to the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Not least is the intense radicalism in the universities, and its promotion by the government and the media

What’s going on is a psychological war, and the lack of a well-defined philosophy and moral tenets is exactly how you lose a psy-op war. Reacting against the Woke cultural revolution may be too little and too late

Is the era of taxpayer dollars for sports arenas over?

More cities stop subsidizing billion-dollar arenas

Should cash-strapped states and cities, facing billions in unfunded obligations and deteriorating government services, fund lavish sports arenas?

Advocates – mostly billionaires who want taxpayers to pay for these stadiums – have long touted the economic benefits of having city hall or state legislatures fund all or most of these buildings housing baseball, basketball, football, or hockey events

Critics have repeatedly rejected these pleas from affluent owners, arguing that politicians should fund essential services instead, not sports. Who’s right? It appears that the public is siding with the naysayers – and with just cause

Will the Kansas City Royals and the Kansas City Chiefs skip town? After more than half (58%) of voters rejected a sales tax measure this past spring that would have supported funding a new downtown ballpark and substantial renovations for the football stadium, their future is ostensibly in doubt

The Royals, which just lost its National League Division Series to the New York Yankees, want to use a portion of the tax revenue to construct a $2 billion ballpark. In comparison, the Chiefs sought a share of the receipts to pay for an $800 million overhaul of Arrowhead Stadium

US drinking rates hit highest level since 1970s. Spirits demand soars

A broad overview of America's beer, spirits, and wine consumption reveals a steady increase since the Dot Com bust, with per capita levels approaching the highs last seen during the inflation-driven misery storm of the 1970s. Economic misery and rising alcohol consumption often go hand in hand

Six decades of US per capita alcohol consumption data shows how war and economic misery can impact drinking rates among consumers. From the 1960s to the 1970s, the rate of alcohol consumption soared on a per capita basis, likely due to foreign wars and high inflation

Drinking rates bottomed at the end of the 90s, rising just after the Dot Com bust, rising higher with endless Middle East wars, dipped slightly but jumped following the 2008 GFC, and surged in recent years after government-enforced lockdowns during the pandemic, Ukraine War, and ongoing inflation storm

According to Goldman's Olivier Nicolaï, one noticeable trend in the latest surge in drinking trends is that spirits have become increasingly popular in the US market as beer demand slides
 
Tequila has become the top spirit of choice among US drinkers, a trend that became apparent in 2016

Anti-vax professor: new pandemic planned

Dr. Peter McCullough is a renowned cardiologist who has been fighting the Covid-19 vax propaganda from the beginning, stating that CV19 vaccines did not help a single person

Now, Dr. McCullough is fighting a new narrative on the Bird Flu. “They just held the “International Bird Flu Summit” near Washington D.C in early October. At the same time, they were holding a Bird Flu summit in Arkansas for veterinarians. So, the evidence says, they are planning on a new pandemic,” McCullough warns

“This is what we learned. Bird Flu is spreading around because it actually came out of a lab. It came out of the USAD research lab in Athens Georgia. . . . Bird Flu has been around for a hundred years, and the current version is very mild. There have been just over 10,000 animal deaths, yet, they have intentionally culled or killed tens of millions of healthy chickens”

Dr. McCullough goes on to say, “We have never had a human Bird Flu death in the United States..."

Feminism makes everyone transgender

Contrary to propaganda messaging, our society is neither ‘overfeminized’ nor ‘pro-woman.’ It is deeply anti-woman

Since the 1960s, cultural leaders in media, Hollywood, academia, and politics have fiercely criticized men for expressing male characteristics, and have fiercely criticized women for expressing female characteristics. This has led some commentators on the right more recently to lambast what they call the “overfeminization” of society

But are we really experiencing a cultural “overfeminization?” It looks like, instead, we have a swap. We have feminization where there should be masculinity, and masculinization where there should be femininity. Our women are pushed to act like men, and our men to act like women, and the resulting social transgenderism makes everyone extremely unhappy, not to mention dysfunctional

Both sexes are out of whack. We are all transgender now

China forces Uyghurs into slavery, finally a blunt resolution from European Parliament

Due to its sheer size, the displacement of its economy and its military might, China is accustomed to breaking rules and getting away with it. Be it unfair competition, pollution, violation of international law or breaches of human rights, Beijing goes largely unchecked

The European Union, probably the world’s most active champion of rules and rights, often appears reluctant to confront China. It was therefore good to see the European Parliament pass a resolution on October 10 which holds Beijing accountable for the way it treats its own citizens

What is more, the resolution, which was adopted by a vote of 540 in favour, 23 against and 47 abstentions, is worded in an unusually blunt manner

European lawmakers condemn the Chinese government’s persecution of Uyghurs and urge China to immediately and unconditionally release detainees, including Ilham Tohti and Gulshan Abbas

Rushan Abbas, an Uyghur human rights activist in the United States, told the Voice of America: “It is imperative that EU member states not only recognize their moral duty but also seize this political moment to implement sanctions that reinforce this resolution. Our collective demand for justice and the protection of human rights must manifest in substantive measures.”

US politicians are pressuring Ukraine to lower draft age to 18

A Ukrainian official claimed that American politicians are pressuring Ukraine to lower the minimum age of conscription from 25 to 18 to make more young men available for combat

“If this information has surfaced, I can confirm it: American politicians from both parties are putting pressure on President Zelensky to explain why there is no mobilization of those aged 18 to 25 in Ukraine. The argument of our partners is that when the US fought in Vietnam, people were drafted from the age of 19,” Serhiy Leshchenko, an advisor to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, wrote on Telegram

Back in April, Zelensky signed a bill that lowered the minimum conscription age in Ukraine from 27 to 25. Leshchenko said that Zelensky is resisting the pressure to start conscripting 18-year-olds

“That’s why the Americans are hinting that Western weapons alone are not enough and that mobilization from the age of 18 is necessary. President Zelensky did not give in and continues to persuade politicians from both parties to provide weapons without changing the draft age,” Leshchenko added

Govt official placed on leave after trying to hire on merit over identity

An Oregon state official is being placed on administrative leave following a complaint filed by a former DEI training staffer, who alleges the suspended official prioritized hiring based on qualifications over considerations of race and gender

Mike Shaw, the state’s deputy forester, is accused of ignoring DEI chief Megan Donecker’s demand that the hiring process incorporate an intersectional approach, which she claims would consider the historical oppression of candidates’ ancestors

Donecker, a white woman who has since resigned from her DEI role in the forestry department, cited an environment where six “queer” employees reportedly felt unsafe due to a lack of discussion around personal pronouns. The DEI chief, who describes herself as an “accomplice to marginalized communities,” claims Shaw left her off of important meeting notices in an attempt to circumvent her attempts to change hiring practices

She described Shaw’s stance on identity-based hiring as dismissive, likening his approach to “a speeding car on an icy road”—a metaphor suggesting potential recklessness in ignoring DEI principles. According to Donecker, Shaw replied to her icy road metaphor stating: “We don’t go 60 mph out of the gate, or we’re gonna crash the car.”

Now on state level! Nevada governor backs anti-trans volleyball boycott

Nevada’s governor on Oct. 15 said he supports female volleyball players refusing to participate in a game because their opponent has a male who identifies as a female on their team

Female players from the University of Nevada, Reno said earlier this month that they would only play against San Jose State University if the game was restricted to women

“The student athletes at the University of Nevada, Reno have determined that they do not want to play against San Jose State, and I wholeheartedly respect the decision of the players,” Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo said in a statement posted on social media. “No student athlete should ever be pressured to play a game where they don’t feel safe—period.”

Nevada Lt. Gov. Stavros Anthony previously expressed support for the team. Officials also said no players will be disciplined if they do not participate in the match, which is slated to take place on Oct. 26

The female volleyball teams at Boise State, Southern Utah, Utah State, and Wyoming previously chose not to play against San Jose State

After Zelensky presented his “victory plan”, Ukraine's public approval rating in Western countries dropped sharply

In the USA and Canada, this indicator was lower by 19% and 13%, respectively

Residents of Kyiv's main European allies were even more dissatisfied.

Thus, in Germany the drop amounted to 31%, in France - 23%, and in Poland the rating plummeted by 37%

Human-trafficking tops America’s list of ‘fast-growing enterprises’

According to boots-on-the-ground rescuers, human-trafficking is one of America’s “fastest-growing enterprises” in the U.S., and the last four years the industry hit a fever pitch

Madeleine Rowley’s new report at The Free Press offers a devastating look into what life looks like for countless individuals, mostly illegal migrant females, as they’re sold into the sex trade, run largely by foreign criminal cartels

The criminal gangs trading women in the sex slave, also deal in children (both boys and girls), and even men

Election 2024: Those who lecture versus those tired of being lectured

The election is finally shaping up to be not only liberal Democrat Harris versus conservative Republican Trump

Instead, it has become a larger contest between those who talk down to their fellow Americans and those who are increasingly sick and tired of being lectured. How smart is it, for example, for Harris supporters to claim nonstop that ex-president Trump is a fascist dictator—and thus, by extension, those also who vote for him?

Women voters poll about 53-5% for Kamala Harris. Trump enjoys a similar, although likely somewhat smaller, majority margin of male voters

Harris has been lecturing both black and white male voters nonstop that they are misled. Or they supposedly suffer from false consciousness — as if they have no clue that Harris and her progressive agenda are really in their own self-interest

But Trump campaign avoids claiming women are ignorant of their real self-interest and deluded by Harris — accurately assuming that a candidate does not win voters by belittling their intelligence

The previous underdog Reagan won in a landslide for a variety of reasons. But certainly, one explanation was that the electorate had finally collectively shrugged their weariness. They were sick and tired of Carter’s downer lectures about how they were wrong and culpable

Will the same contrast determine the election of 2024?

Springfield, Ohio. A local resident talks about the environment at a high school where illegals from Haiti have been identified to attend

Thesis:
- there is video evidence of illegals from Haiti having sex on the school stairs.
- classrooms are packed with Haitians.
- by law, students can't be over 21. but the freshman class is 21+ Haitians.
- over 50% of the school's students are illegal Haitians.
- they have no interpreters to help the teachers. Haitians don't know English.
- The illegals “behave in a boorish, extremely disrespectful manner.”

NB: This is the same town where Haitians kill and eat locals' pets. When apprehended, the illegals demand respect for their folk tradition of eating cats and dogs

Israel-Gaza war: IDF's 401st Armored Brigade commander killed in battle

Colonel Ehsan Daqsa, Commander of the IDF's 401st Armored Brigade, was killed, and three officers sustained serious injuries during a battle in Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip

Col. Daqsa, 41, had only been promoted to his position three months ago, according to military announcements. He was the fourth colonel to have been killed since the start of the war in Gaza

Preliminary investigations into the death of Colonel Daqsa indicate that Col. Daqsa’s tank, along with another tank, was hit by explosive devices while conducting operations in Jabaliya. He was the fourth colonel to have been killed in the ongoing conflict since the start of the war in Gaza

Who leaked US classified docs on potential Israeli attack plans?

U.S. officials are scrambling to determine how two leaked, highly U.S. classified documents conveying potential Israeli plans to attack Iran got on the Telegram app. According to the New York Times, the documents were prepared in recent days by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which analyzes information and images collected by U.S. spy satellites

There are several theories regarding these leaked reports

The first theory reads that the Iranians hacked the U.S. intelligence services and leaked the document as part of their psy-ops against Israel

Two, an actor within the U.S. government may have leaked it, but the investigation of the U.S. government itself appears to have concluded otherwise

Three, the Biden administration may have orchestrated the leak itself in order to delay the Israeli attack

Four, the Israelis may have leaked this themselves with the aim of diverting Iran’s attention by getting them to look for an attack in all the wrong places

Five, finally, the question is if a close American ally — a Five Eyes state or a NATO ally with access to FVEY intelligence — leaked it. If so, it would suggest that close U.S. allies are so frustrated with Biden’s refusal to stop the war in the Middle East since World War II that they are taking matters into their own hands to sabotage Netanyahu’s escalation plan

CNN panelist says white people should be “held accountable” if they don’t vote for Kamala

A CNN commentator declared that white people who don’t vote to “save democracy” won’t be able to “escape the accountability that they must face”

The remarks were made by Angela Rye during a discussion on the network in which she attempted to move blame for Harris’ dismal polling numbers away from black men

Rye stated

“The responsibility of saving democracy should be on the largest demographic in this country that is white men and white women”

Harris’s ‘helpers’ are more of a hindrance than a help. Rye stands in the same row with Lizzo, who came to Detroit by a private jet to rally for Kamala, a passionate global warming fighter. Lizzo also said that “if Kamala wins, the whole country will be like Detroit”

God bless America…
