- A new generation of media crusaders clamors for government control over what you see, hear, and read—and for banning their competition
"American journalism once thought of itself as being inherently and institutionally pro free speech.
...These days, the American public distrusts the media more than it ever has.
Confronted with this crisis of legitimacy, today’s corporate media increasingly advances ideas that would delight would-be power trippers of any party—like establishing novel forms of government control over what you can see, read, and hear and identifying people with a broad range of unpopular or unapproved views as domestic terrorists.
...The notion that free expression is sedition’s handmaiden or that the prevention of treason should be a higher goal than the open exchange or exposure of allegedly dangerous arguments are not controversial views anymore; they pop up frequently, among putatively liberal-minded commentators in The Washington Post and The New York Times...Read all.

China's Xi warns Davos World Economic Forum against 'new Cold War' - France 24
..."To build small cliques or start a new Cold War, to reject, threaten or intimidate others... will only push the world into division," said Xi in a likely veiled attack on US President Joe Biden's plans to revitalise global alliances to counter China's growing influence.
"Beijing (AFP)--Chinese President Xi Jinping warned global leaders at an all-virtual Davos forum Monday against starting a "new Cold War", and urged global unity in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
...The Chinese leader also reaffirmed Beijing's ambitious climate pledges to slash carbon emissions by 65 per cent by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 -- both significant commitments as China emits a quarter of the world's greenhouse gases.
...Xi also called for stronger global governance via multilateral organisations, the removal of barriers to international trade, investment and tech exchanges, as well as stronger representation on the world stage for developing countries...Read all.

- Let the “healing” begin.
"Perhaps channeling the spirit of the Soviet NKVD, leftists are now literally calling for a new “secret police” unit to be created at the federal level to spy on Trump supporters.
In an article published by the Daily Beast, Jeff Stein argues that existing federal agencies like the FBI are ill-equipped to stop “white terror” because they missed signs of the the pre-planning of the Capitol building siege.
The solution is to create a new “secret police” (yes, he literally uses those words) in order to “infiltrate and neutralize armed domestic extremists,” which according to the media’s latest narrative potentially includes 70 million Trump voters...Read all.

Can Trump's Followers Be Called a "Cult"? | Psychology Today
- The case for cult status of Mr. Trump and his followers.
"...Would it be fair to label Trump's followers a "cult"?
...While some don't believe that Mr. Trump and his followers comprise a cult, in my view, the group fulfills the criteria typically used in sociological, religious, and psychological circles to identify a cult.
...To further understand how Mr. Trump and his followers may match the definition of a cult, it is helpful to look at how their behaviors compare to the most common behaviors of cults.
Cults are typically characterized by:
- One charismatic leader is the group's sole authority on truth; only this leader decides, or has the right to approve, all policies and practices. Ex: Many of Trump’s supporters reportedly believe that the Presidential election was fraudulent, based on Mr. Trump's claims that it was.
- Members are zealous, protective, and unquestioningly committed to the leader. Ex: A group of militant fans of Mr. Trump tried to run a Biden/Harris campaign bus off the road in Texas, endangering multiple drivers on the highway.
- Members regard the leader's beliefs and practices as truth and law; the leader affirms and enforces this idea. Ex: Many of Trump's supporters reportedly believed his false claims about immigrants being more likely to commit serious crimes.
- The group uses public humiliation or punishment to suppress individualism and doubt. Ex: During the Impeachment trial of Mr. Trump, his supporters in the general public and Congress relied on insulting the Democrats presenting the case and their witnesses, instead of arguing facts...Read all.

Biden’s Climate Team: Climate Change Is Happening Because of ‘Systemic Racism ’
From Free Beacon:
A pair of top incoming White House environmental aides has blamed “systemic racism” as a driver of climate change in an attempt to justify a government-led economic overhaul.
President-elect Joe Biden named progressive policy adviser Maggie Thomas as Office of Domestic Climate Policy chief of staff and climate advocate Cecilia Martinez as “senior director for environmental justice” on Thursday. Both Thomas and Martinez have cited racial inequality as perpetuating climate change, arguing that the Biden administration’s environmental policy must be centered on “racial and economic justice.”...Read all.

Opinion | America Has a GPS Problem - The New York Times
"...Owned and operated by the U.S. government, GPS is likely the least recognized, and least appreciated, part of our critical infrastructure.
Indeed, most of our critical infrastructure would cease to function without it.
The problem is that GPS signals are incredibly weak, due to the distance they have to travel from space, making them subject to interference and vulnerable to jamming and what is known as spoofing, in which another signal is passed off as the original.
And the satellites themselves could easily be taken out by hurtling space junk or the sun coughing up a fireball.
As intentional and unintentional GPS disruptions are on the rise, experts warn that our overreliance on the technology is courting disaster...
...If GPS was knocked out, he said, you’d notice.

- Grocers would be unable to stock their shelves, and

Thousands of Indian farmers have been demanding the government repeal the laws for more than two months.
"The Indian government is stubborn," said caravan organizer, Amandeep Jhajj, of Canton.
"With this we want to tell the Indian government, the power is the democracy and in the people so they have to listen to the Indian people and the Indian farmers."

Very timely video and read!------Is Harrisburg's Nightmare America's Future?
The city of Harrisburg is Ground Zero for America's municipal debt crisis.
Pennsylvania's capital city has liabilities estimated at $610 million, which is nearly ten times its annual budget.
The city is so deep in the red that last year it attempted to file for bankruptcy.
Reckless spending did more than ruin Harrisburg's balance sheet; it crowded out private industry and distracted from the city's core functions.
Today, Harrisburg is a dangerous, poverty-stricken city, with failing schools and a shrinking population.
Harrisburg's fiscal nightmare may be a harbinger of things to come for American cities.
In the mid-90s, local governments embarked on a spending binge, bringing total municipal debt in the United States to more than $2.8 trillion.
Along with Harrisburg, Jefferson County, Alabama, Vallejo, California, and Central Falls, Rhode Island have filed for bankruptcy in the past few years.
Several more cities are on the brink of default, largely thanks to taxpayer-financed stadiums, museums, housing, commercial complexes, other misconceived economic development projects, and runaway public sector salaries, pensions, and benefit packages.
Is your hometown the next Harrisburg?
