Pentagon Can't Account for $220 Billion of Gear Given to Contractors
- The actual total is probably higher according to the Government Accountability Office's new report.
The GAO notes that auditors have asked for decades that the Pentagon develop a plan to account for that gear and equipment—which can include "ammunition, missiles, torpedoes," and component parts for those items—to little avail...
U.S. will criminalize hate speech 'soon', EU official predicts at WEF mtg.
U.S. will criminalize hate speech 'soon', EU official predicts at WEF mtg."At the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland this week, a European Union official predicted to a U.S. congressman that the U.S. would “soon” enact laws on “illegal hate speech” similar to those in the EU.
- ...It came as she discussed whether AI is capable of moderating online hate speech.
- “For hate speech, well, we need the people who understand the language and the case law in the country, because what qualifies as hate speech as illegal hate speech — which you will have soon also in the U.S.,” she said, looking to Moulton, who smiled back...
- ...EU countries are obligated to criminalize hate speech based around race, skin color, religion, descent, nationality or ethnicity, according to the European Commission...
Dem's 'flagrantly unconstitutional' anti-White supremacy bill would 'gut the First Amendment': Turley | Fox News
Dem's 'flagrantly unconstitutional' anti-White supremacy bill would 'gut the First Amendment': Turley | Fox News:
Much of the bill deals with making it a crime to commit "conspiracy to engage in white supremacy inspired hate crime," outlining the elements of such an offense. Normally, criminal conspiracy statutes require two or more people working together toward the commission of a crime, but this bill only requires one person to actually be involved in the crime, if another person "published material advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on "replacement theory", or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group[.]"

Ever wondered who was behind that greenie push to ban gas stoves? - American Thinker - By Monica Showalter
"The call to ban gas stoves in the U.S., based on environmental concerns, certainly drew backlash from an angry public tired of seeing their household appliances, critical possessions, and standard of living being targeted....
- Where did this lunacy come from?
About where you'd expect — from our enemies.
According to the Washington Free Beacon:
Colorado-based nonprofit Rocky Mountain Institute is demanding "systemic change and economy-wide transformation" to address a climate crisis it says we must go to great lengths to avoid. In 2013, for example, the Rocky Mountain Institute joined forces with China's National Development and Reform Commission...
So this green think-tank, which
- comprises non-scientists,
- takes money from China,
- has a Red Chinese oligarch as board member, and
- participates in ongoing projects with China's central planners, all under the rubric of "going green"...

Ex-intel official who signed Hunter Biden laptop letter admits significant portion of emails 'had to be real' | Fox News:
Douglas Wise, a former Defense Intelligence Agency deputy director and former senior CIA operations officer, was among the over 50 former intel officials who claimed that the content of the laptop first reported by the New York Post in October 2020 "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

How Stanford Failed the Academic Freedom Test - Tablet Magazine
How Stanford Failed the Academic Freedom Test - Tablet Magazine - BYJAY BHATTACHARYA 
- Stanford ‘created an environment in which slander, threats, and abuse aimed at lockdown critics could flourish’
"We live in an age when a high public health bureaucrat can, without irony, announce to the world that if you criticize him, you are not simply criticizing a man.
You are criticizing “the science” itself.
...The COVID-19 pandemic has apparently brought us full circle, with a public health clerisy having replaced the religious one as the singular source of unassailable truth.
...The analogy goes further, unfortunately.
The same priests of public health that have the authority to distinguish heresy from orthodoxy also cast out heretics, just like the medieval Catholic Church did...
Gotta read this!--The future?-----Get Sertified - by N.S. Lyons - The Upheaval
Get Sertified - by N.S. Lyons - The Upheaval"A few weeks ago, on a routine stroll around SoHo, I found New York’s most virtuous restaurant.
It’s called Urban Vegan Kitchen and it’s located at 41 Carmine Street.
...But the five separate stickers on the door, reading “Small Business,” “Woman owned,” “Hispanic owned,” “Black owned, and “Minority owned,” were more than enough to convince me that had I entered, I would have achieved woke nirvana.
...Businesses need only submit one proof of marginalized identity (along with $180) to receive their sticker.
... Maybe someday, as such sertifications become the norm, New York’s city government will simply replace Sertify with mandated de-sertifying stickers such as “Not black owned” or “Not woman owned,” to warn the public about businesses unlikely to provide them with sufficient moral nutrition...
