  • Fergie Chambers is heir to one of the biggest American family fortunes. 
  • He’s also a revolutionary with ‘actual bloodlust’ building a mysterious commune in Massachusetts. His neighbors are scared. 
"...Fergie’s slight, but buff... covered in tattoos, including a double portrait of Stalin and Mao inked onto his thigh. 
He looks as if the phrase “Fuck you, Mom and Dad” were a person...

How George Soros funds anti-Semitism | Blaze Media

How George Soros funds anti-Semitism | Blaze Media

In his 1995 book, “Soros on Soros,” the Hungarian-American financier declared that Zionism “doesn't appeal” to him because it is “the founding of a nation [Israel] where the Jews are in the majority.” For Soros, "being a Jew [is] being in a minority." He also asserted moral equivalence between the Jews’ response to attacks and that of their attackers, saying that sometimes Jews choose to "identify with their oppressors" and even "try to become like them."

In 2003, at a Yivo Institute for Jewish Research event, Soros blamed the rise of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred in Europe on the George W. Bush administration's war on Islamic terrorism and "likened the behavior of Israel [in defending itself against Arab terrorist attacks] to that of the Nazis, invoking some psychological jargon about victims becoming victimizers." He was booed, and many walked out of the event.


Why is the "west" allowing this? And, at the same time, supporting many of the same hell-hole country's leaders?!!

Gatestone Institute - UN and Hamas: Partners in Crime - by Robert Williams
"To understand how the UN effectively runs the Hamas propaganda war, it is important to know that the UN, through its agency for Palestinian refugees, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), is effectively embedded with Hamas in the Gaza Strip...
  • "The UN has 13,000 employees in tiny Gaza. They know exactly what's going on... They all knew Hamas' terror infrastructure was in the hospital compound, where Israel wouldn't attack. They lied to the world for 16 years. To paint Israel as evil." — Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, November 16, 2023.
  • [T]he UN has sustained an incessant campaign, especially on social media, that accuses Israel of deliberately targeting schools, children, civilians, hospitals and healthcare workers. While those are protected from attack during war by international law, that protection does not apply to schools, hospitals and other civilian sites that are used for military purposes...

When a rocket fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad exploded outside Gaza's Al-Ahli hospital, Hamas claimed within minutes that Israel had bombed the hospital and falsely asserted that hundreds of people had been killed there. 
The United Nations rushed to blame Israel, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres used his speech at the Belt and Road Summit in China to condemn Israel for the explosion...

Even if true, we don't believe you any more!-----Forget the ‘tripledemic.’ The U.S. is headed for a ‘syndemic’ this winter—and experts warn we’re not prepared Story by Erin Prater • 21h

Forget the ‘tripledemic.’ The U.S. is headed for a ‘syndemic’ this winter—and experts warn we’re not prepared 
"COVID will likely reach levels this winter not yet seen this year, combining with surges of
  • flu, 
  • RSV, and 
  • other pathogens 
for a “syndemic” winter not so different from last year’s “tripledemic,” experts say.
Raj Rajnarayanan, assistant dean of research and associate professor at the New York Institute of Technology campus in Jonesboro, Ark., told Fortune that the U.S. is a “sitting duck” in the face of a “syndemic” winter.
It’s a term he prefers to “tripledemic,” as it recognizes the impact of more than three pathogens on the healthcare system, and the need for policies to address the phenomenon, in addition to medical interventions... ("policies" means "more money". Unaccountable money!)

"...After a special session where Colorado lawmakers passed legislation aimed at blunting the rise in property taxes next year, Gov. Jared Polis is putting pressure on taxing entities across the state to help provide further relief for homeowners — though some say they’re not in a position to do so.
During an appearance at Colorado Mountain College in Breckenridge on Thursday, Nov. 30, Polis called on taxing entities across the state to lower their local tax rates amid what is certain to be a significant spike in property tax bills due in 2024...

  • The climate lobby is now aiming to use taxes and regulation to restrict your meat consumption. - By Allysia Finley
"Climate has become religion for the global left. 
Yet unlike most organized religions that are genuinely committed to helping our fellow man, today’s climate movement figuratively burns heretics at the stake and demands communal sacrifices that serve no purpose but to immiserate humanity.
Consider the calls at the United Nations’s COP28 climate confab this month in Dubai to reduce meat consumption. 
  • Banishing fossil fuels and gasoline-powered cars isn’t enough to achieve the climate lobby’s net-zero promised land.

Night of the Living Ed: Zombie Public Schools, Drained of Pandemic Lifeblood, Haunt the Land | RealClearInvestigations - By Vince Bielski
"Call them “zombie” schools.
A significant but unknown number of public schools across the U.S., particularly in big cities, have lost so many students in the last half-decade that many of their classrooms sit empty
Gone is the loud clatter of students bursting through crowded hallways and slamming lockers.
  • The harm from these half-empty schools is inflicted directly on all students in a district...
But nothing in public education is more controversial and difficult than closing a neighborhood school...which also tend to be the worst academic performers in districts, are just a prelude of the reckoning to come, according to interviews with school leaders, researchers, educators, and charter officials.
  • ...But the $190 billion lifeline – called the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund – ends next September...

Bank Executive Destroys New York's Case Against Trump in Loan Case: 'Not Unusual'

Bank Executive Destroys New York's Case Against Trump in Loan Case: 'Not Unusual'

The evidence shows that banks made money on these loans, which were paid off either early or on time. In fact, none of the banks complained about the Trump organization’s estimations, which were accompanied by a warning that the banks should not rely on those estimates.

Moreover, James is seeking to kill a corporation once viewed as iconic in New York, not just by denying the certificates for the Trumps to do business in the city but by imposing $250 million in penalties for money that no one actually lost.

Ummm, EVERY democrat controlled city in the USA!-----NY Times: Don’t Worry About the $112.1B in Shoplifting, It’s a Right-Wing Narrative

NY Times: Don’t Worry About the $112.1B in Shoplifting, It’s a Right-Wing Narrative - By Bob Hoge
"The New York Times has developed a well-deserved reputation for gaslighting its readers by scorning narratives that don’t fit its increasingly left bent. 
Once considered the foremost news organization in the country and possibly the world, it has descended into a woke blog whose stories more often seem to emanate from a fledgling college student rather than from actual expert reporters.
  • To wit, I received the following newsletter in my email recently: “We’re covering claims of a shoplifting boom… Viral exaggerations.”
Really, NY Slimes? 
  • It’s the right-wing media who are concocting this crisis out of thin air, we’ve “pounced on it," as they love to say—it’s not actually a serious consideration?
Don’t worry about it, they report:
Target and other retail chains have warned of widespread theft. News outlets have amplified the story. On social media, people have posted videos of thieves looting stores.

But the increase in shoplifting appears to be limited to a few cities, rather than being truly national...

"Science"?!!-----The Hallett Inquiry - Now we have the mask double flip flop

The Hallett Inquiry - Now we have the mask double flip flop
"...We follow the trajectory of the statements on the use of masks made by Dame Jenny Harries, England’s deputy chief medical officer at the height of the pandemic and now chief executive of the United Kingdom Health Security Authority (UKHSA)...
At the pandemic's beginning, Dame Jenny had a cosy fireside chat with Mr Boris Johnson, the then Prime Minister (PM). 
  • Dame Jenny reassured the PM that mass gatherings were not a danger to the spread of the virus.
  • Dame Jenny added that “it’s usually quite a bad idea to wear a mask” if a healthcare professional hasn’t asked you to wear one.” The message was repeated on the BBC as mask usage could “trap the virus.” According to the Independent, Harries stated that mask usage could increase the risk of infection.
Here is an excellent video summary of Harries’ early 2020 mask statements.
  • Along the way, she dismissed the idea of closing schools, which were duly shut a few days later.
But then, mask-wise, everything changed, as we have documented in our partial timeline.
