Vivek Ramaswamy: ‘Wokeness' Creates ‘Existential Crisis of Identity in America'
[Breitbart] America is facing an "existential crisis of identity" from "woke" ideology, Vivek Ramaswamy, author of Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam, told Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow.

Ramaswamy identified the left’s political paradigm of framing people’s primary identities based on race, sex, and sexual preference.

"This is what the heart of the book is about," Ramaswamy stated, "the existential crisis of identity in America, right now. America is going through an identity crisis, and I don’t think we have a good answer to the question of what it means to be American in 2021."

Ramaswamy alluded to civic nationalism as a means to unify Americans across varying demographic strata.

He continued, "The America that I came to know as a child who was born here ... is that America wasn’t even a place. It is a vision of what a place can be. It is an idea that, 250 years ago, brought together a divided polyglot group of people, and we have forgotten what those common ideas were."

He described "wokeness" as a "new group identity-based fixation on race, gender, and sexual orientation."

Twitter Slaps 'Unsafe' Label On American Heart Association mRNA Vaccine Warning
[ZeroHedge] Twitter has slapped an "unsafe link" warning on a study from the American Heart Association which found that mRNA vaccines dramatically increase risk of developing heart diseases from 11% to 25%.

As of this writing, when one clicks on the link in the below tweet...

#4  The AHA was front and center pushing the "food pyramid" that has made so many people fat and susceptible to heart disease.

They are still probably a better source of heart health information than sh*tter.

Bill Gates warns of smallpox terror attacks and urges leaders to use ‘germ games' to prepare
[Evening Standard] Bill Gates has warned that governments must prepare for future pandemics and smallpox terror attacks by investing billions in research and development.
“Gimme lotsa money.”
Mr Gates made the warning during a Policy Exchange interview with the chair of the Health Select Committee Jeremy Hunt.

The Microsoft founder also called for the formation of a new billion-dollar World Health Organisation Pandemic Task Force.

While the research may be expensive, he said that it could also lead to other innovations, such as eradicating flu and the common cold.
Aren’t they working on that right now, with Covid research?

#1  Because the World Health Organization has done such a splendid job of monitoring and predictive analysis in the recent past.

Notice the lack of discussion regarding actual (state funded) 'origins' and foking prevention. Total Wuhan denial.

But how can global treatments, global solutions and control be leveraged if the threat is eliminated ?

Obviously more money, BIO Warfare (duck and cover) Exercises, and international monitoring police are the answer.

#2  No need for billions of dollars for Gates and Fauxi to divvy between themselves. Just ban travel from certain countries and I think we all know which countries.

Plan GJ-11: Unmanned combat over the sea
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] An interesting slide illustrating the clash of the American and Chinese AUG, where the emphasis is on a massive attack by GJ-11 UAVs launched from Type-075 helicopter carriers. UAVs guided by satellite and with the help of AWACS planes attack the aircraft carrier and escort ships. 5th generation carrier-based fighters cover their own order.

Video discussion of China's naval equipment.

VDH - Third Worldizing America
[Townhall] In a recent online exchange, YouTuber Casey Neistat posted his fury after his car was broken into and the contents stolen. Los Angeles, he railed, was turning into a "3rd-world s-hole of a city."

The multimillionaire actor Seth Rogen chastised Neistat for his anger.

Rogen claimed that a car's contents were minor things to lose. He added that while living in West Hollywood he had his own car broken into 15 times, but thought little of it.

Online bloggers ridiculed Rogen. No wonder - the actor lives in multimillion-dollar homes in the Los Angeles area, guarded by sophisticated security systems and fencing.

Yet both Neistat and Rogen accurately defined Third Worldization: the utter breakdown of the law and the ability of the rich within such a feudal society to find ways to avoid the violent chaos.

After traveling the last 45 years in the Middle East, southern Europe, Mexico, and Asia Minor, I observed some common characteristics of a so-called Third-World society. And all of them might feel increasingly familiar to contemporary Americans.

Whether in Cairo or Naples, theft was commonplace. Yet property crimes were almost never seriously prosecuted.

In a medieval-type society of two rather than three classes, the rich in walled estates rarely worry that much about thievery. Crime is written off as an intramural problem of the poor, especially when the middle class is in decline or nonexistent.

Violent crime is now soaring in America. But two things are different about America's new criminality.

One is the virtual impunity of it. Thieves now brazenly swarm a store, ransack, steal, and flee with the merchandise without worry of arrest.

Second, the Left often justifies crime as a sort of righteous payback against a supposedly exploitative system. So, the architect of the so-called 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, preened of the riotous destruction of property during the summer of 2020: "Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence."

Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not.

There were 120 days of continuous looting, arson, and lethal violence during the summer of 2020. Rioters burned courthouses, police precincts, and an iconic church.
