Freedom Of Movement | Global Liberty Media - The Counter Narrative link

"...If you have gas money, plane or train fare, or the time to walk, you can go wherever you want.

But this freedom is under a bit of an attack.

Let me explain.

Big government planners, those that want to run most of your lives, envision a US where the majority of the population lives within its large cities, or suburbs of them.
Where personal transportation isn’t needed or desirable. Movement is limited to public transportation methods: bus, commuter train, trolley, subway, etc.

Under the guise of ‘lowering carbon emissions’, these folks would love to limit autos (and maybe even plane travel) to the very important and very wealthy (them)...Read all.

What if...-----'Red Dawn': A Movie for Our Time - Intellectual Takeout

'Red Dawn': A Movie for Our Time - Intellectual Takeout link

"The other day I was revisiting the 1984 flick Red Dawn when I had one of those revelations that leave me feeling a bit stupid and more than a bit stunned.

The film’s storyline is pretty simple: It’s the Cold War, and Russia, Cuba, and Nicaragua launch an attack on the United States....

As I rewatched Red Dawn, so many scenes matched the circumstances of the last few years that the movie seemed almost prophetic in its message.

What if we are now undergoing our own “Red Dawn,” except this is an invasion without machine guns and war planes, but with the same ideas of destruction and conquest of the American Republic in mind?..."

Dallas Airport Deploys Giant Robots to Catch Unmasked Travelers

Dallas Airport Deploys Giant Robots to Catch Unmasked Travelers:

As air travel is getting back to pre-pandemic levels and airports are getting busy, travelers are still having to mask.

While many public areas are getting more lax about masks, the Dallas Love Field airport now has robots watching travelers.

“Yes, those 7-foot-tall machines at Dallas Love Field are watching you. They want to make sure you’re wearing a mask if you’re boarding a flight or not parking too long at the curb if you’re picking up a returning traveler,” The Dallas Morning News reported Friday.

Memphis Airport Reinstalls Photo of Asian Elvis Tribute Artist After Outcry | PetaPixel:

"These artists represent an ever-evolving arts community that meaningfully contributes to the rich cultural fabric of this city. Whether viewers are enjoying the details of a photograph or taking in an expansive mural, the collection offers an introduction to the many sides of Memphis; for those who call the city home… Inherent in the selected works is a sense of Memphis’s rich history as a place rooted in activism and civil rights, art, and music, and the continuation of that sacred legacy today. – UrbanArt Commission"

THIS is child abuse!

Since J. Edgar Hoover founded it, the FBI has never really been a law enforcement agency. It’s a clearing house for kompromot and intimidation.

"Following the death of Stalin, the Soviet secret police pivoted from heavy-handed mass arrests to a subtler, but still sinister, system of mass spying and accumulation of “kompromot,” or compromising material, on its citizens.

The Soviets maintained control by prioritizing spying on religious figures, political activists, journalists, and public officials.

We’re now finding out that the FBI in America has a similar program of mass surveillance of similar targets.

And, as with the Soviets, much of the spying has nothing to do with investigating crime.

According to a Justice Department internal audit report, the FBI maintained an active caseload of 24,584 cases during the 18 months between January 2018 and June of 2019. A grossly disproportionate share of those cases involved surveillance of influential Americans such as candidates for office, public officials, journalists, religious leaders, and political activists. When the FBI targets an individual wielding high social influence, it categorizes the case as “sensitive.”

Bonhoeffer on the ‘Stupidity’ That Led to Hitler’s Rise
Americans today might do well to heed Bonhoeffer’s warning.

"Although he was in power for only a handful of years, Hitler and his Nazi government slaughtered millions.

One of the more well-known victims of that slaughter was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed on April 8th, 1945, a few short weeks before Hitler’s own death.
Unlike many of Hitler’s victims, Bonhoeffer was not a Jew, but a Lutheran minister, scholar, and theologian who boldly spoke against Hitler’s policies.

Bonhoeffer landed a position in the German government during WWII and subsequently used that position as cover for assassination attempts against Hitler.
While awaiting execution, Bonhoeffer recorded a number of his thoughts in a work we now know as Letters and Papers from Prison.

One of these essays, entitled On Stupidity, records some of the problems which Bonhoeffer likely saw at work in Hitler’s rise to power...Read all!!

"I just heard Richard Fowler on FOX make the case that Ketanji Brown Jackson would bring her "lived experiences" to bear in her approach to Supreme Court decisions.

...They can't understand the "black experience" in America.

So let's review a few things:

KBJ's parents were both professionals, her father was a lawyer and ultimately became the chief attorney for the Miami-Dade County School Board.
Her mom served as the principal of the New World School of the Arts in Miami...
She is also a graduate of Harvard and Harvard Law.
According to Wikipedia, "In 1996, Brown married surgeon Patrick Graves Jackson, a Boston Brahmin who is a descendant of Continental Congress delegate Jonathan Jackson, and is related to U.S. Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Through her marriage, Jackson is related to former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan."

No Jail for NYC Prankster Who Told Diners He Had a Bomb and Would Kill Them for Allah

"When Malik Sanchez was sentenced on Wednesday for claiming he had a bomb and telling two women outside a New York City restaurant that he was going to kill them, he apologized to the women and said that his actions were those of an “immature and reckless child.”

Manhattan federal court Judge Colleen McMahon stopped him right there and corrected him, saying his action was “that of a sicko.”

Nevertheless, she gave him no jail time at all while praising his post-arrest behavior and calling him a “pretrial success story.”

Scaring people half to death is no big deal in New York City; in the decaying Leftist paradise of Bill de Blasio and Eric Adams, it takes a great deal to be sent to prison...link.

Are Law Schools Now Woke Factories?

Are Law Schools Now Woke Factories?:

Students at three recent college events threatened violence against conservative speakers, along with the student groups that invited them to speak on campus. This may be commonplace today, but what makes this hostility so much more shocking is that it occurred at colleges once considered eminent law schools: Georgetown University Law Center, Hastings College of Law at the University of California, and Yale Law School. These future lawyers and their professors have shown us precisely what they think of free speech and open inquiry when the wrong people with the wrong views come to campus.

NPR reporter goes against own newsroom to call Hunter Biden laptop a legitimate story - TheBlaze

NPR reporter goes against own newsroom to call Hunter Biden laptop a legitimate story - TheBlaze:

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald called out legacy media for intentionally ignoring the Hunter Biden email story. "Most of the national corporate media lied in unison to the country for weeks right before the 2020 election by telling them that completely authentic emails about Joe Biden's dealings in Ukraine and China were 'Russian disinformation,' a lie they got from the CIA," Greenwald tweeted out on Wednesday. "Twitter founder Jack Dorsey apologized and admitted it was wrong for Twitter to have censored any mention of the story. The WPost this week called for a media 'reckoning' over what they did. Beyond those 2, they all let their lie stand to this day."
