The Occupation Of Washington Is Pure Panic Porn — And You Are The Target

AOC and Conservatives Agree…Which Means Robinhood and Others Could Be In Trouble

“Some Form of Gestapo” in America: Churchill’s Prescient Prediction Comes to Life
“No Socialist Government conducting entirely the life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently worded public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanely directed in the first instance. And this would nip opinion in the bud; it would stop criticism as it reared its head, and it would gather all power to the supreme party and the party leaders, rising like stately pinnacles above their vast bureaucracies of civil servants, no longer servants and no longer civil.” -Winston Churchill’s “Some Form of Gestapo” Quote.

Cruz sent a tweet to Ocasio-Cortez, saying he agrees with her that the popular investing app Robinhood needs to explain its decision to block retail investors from purchasing certain stock.

FERNANDO: A ‘Debunked Conspiracy’ & A Conference Happening Now
What is true arrogance?
What is true power?
The ability to lie to someone’s face, know that you are lying, know that they know you are lying, and get away with it anyway.
Thus, after months of denouncing critics of The Great Reset as ‘conspiracy theorists,’ much of the media and political establishment expects people to simply ignore that an entire conference on The Great Reset is taking place as you read these words (and yes, the Trudeau Liberals are in attendance).
In fact, the World Economic Forum even has a full page dedicated to ‘The Great Reset Initiative.’
Yet, we are still told that this is all a conspiracy.
Canadian vaccine maker says it would be closer to rollout if it had more help from Ottawa
The federal government has provided funding to the Canadian companies working on vaccines, but struck procurement deals with Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, both of which are manufactured abroad. The government has said Canada lacks the capacity to manufacture the millions of doses needed to immunize the population.
As It Happens has reached out to Procurement Minister Anita Anand for an interview.
Providence Therapeutics CEO Brad Sorenson says his company hopes to have a vaccine ready for rollout by early next year. But he says it could have happened a lot sooner had the federal government gotten on board early.
Chris Selley: Quebec judge strikes a blow for Canadians’ most basic freedom — leaving the house
Politicians around the world have mounted many terrible arguments for and against various pandemic-related countermeasures over the past 10 months. But Quebec Premier François Legault’s justification for having police round people up for the crime of sleeping rough after the province’s 8 p.m. curfew still manages to stand out.
Biden and Kerry gaslight about green jobs
The Biden administration seems to recognize it’s got a problem with its green energy schemes, as it takes a wrecking ball to the nation’s economic edifice in the name of green and strikes at it with all the people still in it.
Exhibit A: Biden’s day-one cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline, at an immediate cost of 1,200 jobs, a projected loss of 2021’s 11,000 jobs, an additional loss of 42,000 knock-on jobs, and one angry Canada.
When (if ever) will wind turbines become carbon-neutral?
THE public were told that wind turbines would ‘save the planet’, or at least the UK’s minuscule 1.13 per cent proportion of it. What they were not told was that huge emissions would be created by the manufacture, shipping, haulage, site preparation and erection of wind turbines.
Does Lockdown work, or not?
This blog was published on RT-com, after much discussion and a few changes. It can be seen here It took a few days. The editors were concerned about the fact-checkers having a go at it and demanding retraction.
We went back and forward. I assured them that all my quoted facts were correct, so the fact-checkers could only attack the ‘opinion’ stated. Which they may well do. If so, fact checkers are no longer checking facts, they are decreeing which scientific opinions are correct, and which are wrong.

Top Iranian Politician Claims Sorcerers, Genies Influence Some State Decisions
Genies, sorcerers, and exorcists are back in the Iranian political debate a decade after then-President Mahmud Ahmadinejad’s associates were accused of practicing witchcraft and summoning supernatural creatures, claims that he denied.
The debate about the alleged influence of sorcerers and clairvoyants on state officials was renewed this week when a member of the powerful Expediency Council — a body that advises Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — said some Iranian politicians have consulted with people who claim to be able to summon genies.
Does calling a man a pig perpetuate human supremacy?
Have you micro-aggressed a sloth lately? Or a snake, or a rat, or a chicken? If so, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) would like to have a word with you.
According to their new campaign, “using animals as insults perpetuates speciesism”. No, I’m not making this up — this is what they’re actually tweeting out…
Lockdown has ravaged the working class
In both lives and livelihoods, the poorest have borne the brunt of our disastrous response to the pandemic.
Coronavirus might discriminate by age but lockdown discriminates by class. From the moment this disastrous policy was instigated, it became immediately apparent that we were not all in it together. In every single aspect of life, the working class has suffered most during lockdown. Worse still, over the course of the past year, class inequalities have grown wider and have become more entrenched. And yet, at each turn, left-wing lockdown lovers have demanded ever-more severe restrictions on people’s lives.
Sarah Silverman, Dozy Bint
The dreamy, mixed up, unfunny comedian who rambles about Israel and BDS.
Sarah Silverman is a stand-up comic who makes much, in her routines, of being Jewish. It’s part of, it’s a major part of, it’s far too much a part of, her shtick; what isn’t about being Jewish is about sex. I find her treatment of both topics distinctly unfunny. She is critical of Israel in an offhand, careless sort of way; she repeats what she’s heard elsewhere, without looking into the matter herself. Lots of people she knows “support BDS” (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) so, in her ditzy way, she does, too. She does not understand the real intent of that sinister movement.
Spoiled Rotten: Students at the United Nations International School denounce their teachers as “racists” and “oppressors.”
Last year, students at New York’s elite United Nations International School launched an anonymous social media campaign denouncing the school’s teachers and administrators for their “vast history of systemic racism,” “white liberal racist thinking,” and “direct, intentional, repeated racial trauma.” The students threatened to “cancel” their “oppressors” through social media shaming. Administrators immediately caved to their demands.
CSIS warns Canadian universities about Alibaba’s online platform
Canada’s spy agency warned Canadian universities in August to be wary of using Chinese technology, including a service offered by e-commerce company Alibaba to help students based in China take online Zoom classes in this country.
Alibaba, which has come under close scrutiny from China’s ruling Communist Party after its billionaire founder, Jack Ma, ran afoul of President Xi Jinping, provides an accelerated virtual private network server so students in China can attend Zoom classes without lag. Alibaba’s “Alibaba Global Accelerator” service is marketed as a solution to avoid network congestion and reduce delays in communication.
