-Great Cultural Revolution
Beware The Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum
[Canada Free Press] Every emerging power has its little army, enforcers...Brown Shirts, Black Shirts, Stalin's Secret Police. For The World Economic Forum (WEF), it has its Young Global Leaders (YGL), attractive men and women, mostly in business attire, seemingly harmless. But these YGL members are near invisible, but dangerous.

The Young Global Leaders (YGL) was created by Klaus Schwab, founder of the WEF, architect of The Great Reset or The New World Order. The YGL, a non-profit organization managed from Geneva, Switzerland, is under the supervision of the Swiss government. The program was founded as part of the World Economic Forum in 1993 under the name "Global Leaders for Tomorrow" and was renamed Young Global Leaders in 2004.

SCHWAB WAS BORN A MEMBER OF THE NAZI CHILD ARISTOCRACY IN 1938
The YGL provides heavy indoctrination and training in socialist principles. Its aim is to provide 'suitable future leaders for the emerging global society, a one world global government. It includes politicians, business leaders, royalty, journalists, entertainers, and other cultural influencers.

Schwab was born a member of the Nazi child aristocracy in 1938, and was reared into Nazi eugenics...getting rid of undesirables. Schwab claims to be an economist, a champion of economic freedom. But, looking at him closely puts him far away. Schwab inherited Escher-Wyss from his Nazi father, a once high technology metals company entrusted by Hitler to develop nuclear weapons. The company was hailed by Hitler as a "Model National Socialist Company." After the war, the company moved to Switzerland, and with all the economic prowess he could muster, his company managed to go bankrupt.

Today there are over 1,400 graduates (some publications say 3,800) from more than 120 countries. Some well known graduates are Justin Trudeau (Canada), Emmanuel Macron (France), Gavin Newsom (Gov. Calif.), Bill Gates, Chelsea Clinton, Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Larry Fink (BlackRock), Peter Thiel (eBay), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Nikki Haley (US pres. candidate), Nathaniel Rothschild, Tony Blair (former PM UK), Angela Merkel (Germany), Jonathan Soros, (son of George), Huma Abedin (Hillary Clinton aide, Pete Buttigieg (former candidate for President), Sanna Marin (Finland PM), Alexander Stubb (former Finland PM), and Vlad Zelensky (President Ukraine).

As you can see, they are everywhere. These new, young leaders are to go back to their respective country and spread the gospel of a global socialist government. They are entrenched in places like Washington, Ottawa, London, and Paris. They don't care what their people want or need, their borders, their culture or tradition. They only answer to their bosses at the World Economic Forum, the likes of Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, or George Soros.

Tulsi Gabbard saw the light and is no longer cited on the shameful WEF YGL Website. We are all allowed to change our minds, right?

Media and networks miss an annual US Army event in Ga., but you know why
[American Thinker] Last week, I was in Fort Benning, Georgia, attending the Best Ranger Competition as a member of the media. The three days of events was something far more than I had anticipated. While I was there to learn more about Ranger training, tactics, and culture for my writing projects, what I found instead was a bastion of pure patriotism and Americana.

The Best Ranger Competition is a three-day test of mental and physical endurance undertaken by two-man Ranger teams from a number of divisions and commands of the U.S. Army. The participants push themselves for long hours both day and night, undertaking feats to test not just their stamina, but their ability to think and solve problems.

On day one, before the break of dawn, the teams go on a run for nine miles, carrying an 50 lb bag of sand on their shoulders. From there, in full uniform, they swim a pond, then undergo a grueling obstacle course, climbing tall obstacles, swimming in mud under barbed wire, etc. They run to another set of physical challenges, then board helicopters and are taken to an urban combat center, where they are dropped on the roof of a building they then clear. There's no break for the weary. They move out carrying 50 lb ammunition canisters, climbing several walls, then mount an urban assault on another structure. All of this before noon!

#1  The US Army needs more Ranger level trained 11b's.
The New multi-gender adjusted training qualifications are a joke.

Once making Ranger grade, 1 in several 100 testing for SF status, will pass the Q-Course. Then about 1 in 50+/- of those can pass Phase II Physical and Psych test for SFOD-D.

#1  Yes, even "Not-The-Bee" and other satire sites see the tidal wave of moral commonsense building.

The LSD's, MSM and Social Media all worked overtime to mainstream Transgenderism by downplaying its serious Mental Illness, Perversion and Pedophilia issues.

They (the LSD's, MSM and Social Media ) tried to avoid 50+ years of published mental health research, court records and published crime fact. All showing a vast majority of transgenders are just plain mentally ill dangerous sexual deviants.

They each went as far as villainizing, shaming and ostracizing those that pointed out transgenderism for what it factually is, a Perversion and Mental Illness.

However, the lid is about to blow off the pressure cooker ,as a majority have not been swayed by their social media tactics and are seriously addressing it head on.

Illusions
[accordingtohoyt] The last century hasn’t actually brought about great "scientific" improvements in governance or the condition of man. It has brought about better production and better commerce, which was enough to stop the periodic famines which plagued our ancestors.

Famines and scarcity subsist only where pernicious central governments stomp on human liberty and individual freedom. And they need to stomp pretty hard. We haven’t managed it. But there are rumors out of China and Venezuela. And of course Russia managed it, just as they did the near-starvation of "never quite enough."

However, all those advances in material culture didn’t bring about similar advances in centralizing government and "sculpting" the new man.

Humans remain human. And the more centralized, over a larger area, that government is, the more inefficient it is. Even — fortunately — at creating misery. Government that requires certain results gets certain results reported. Even if they have nothing to do with reality.

Sure, the Soviets didn’t have nearly our nuclear arsenal. But the people at the top there MIGHT very well have thought they did, at least after a while. Because the underlings had to report it was done. or else.

All of you repeating the nonsense about boiled frogs, and how their sloooooowwww plan has worked perfectly are just buying into the same juvenile, retarded lie. NONE of their plans ever worked perfectly. Their history is littered with five year plans that worked only in someone’s imagination.

So why would their plans work better in a far away place they never fully understood? With a people who are notoriously averse to obeying?

Of course they didn’t. They don’t. You can convince yourself they have, particularly if you listen to the left and ignore all the times they got stomped on, got smacked, got their cookies taken away.

Something similar applies to the "expert" predictions of short and long term changes. Looking back over 70+ years of such predictions I can recall, virtually none came true.

Book Review: The Graves Are Walking
Taking a bit of a break from the Russian Ukraine War with this book.

This is one of the easiest to read texts I have ever read, finishing it in just a few days.

I was motivated to buy the book from the film, presented on Netflix, "Black '47." (It now is available on Tubi) As an interesting aside, one of the main characters was Hugo Weaving, the actor who payed the evil Agent Smith in the 1999 film "The Matrix."

The author does a masterful job of laying out the calamity, never quite blaming one segment of Irish and British society, and writing a sympathetic portrayal of nearly all the British and Irish officials involved, as well as the landowners. He writes of an obscure incident that occurred during the famine, tying it to the crisis at at hand, and then draws the reader along by placing it in context of the famine. This he does repeatedly and it makes for an informative and compelling read.

The cause of the famine, aside from the potato blight was structural. Irish society had an extensive tenant farmer system, a layered one if you will, in which landowners at the top allotted their lands to farmers, with those farmers in turn doing the same. At the very bottom and at the most wretched were the poorest farmers, whose very lives depended on the potato crop.

What struck me the most about the incident was just how fast the blight spread: less than five weeks in the first year and less than four in the second.

By the third year, many of those who farmed potatoes were either dead, left for America, or were too weak to plant a new crop.

You can't help but understand that at the tail end of the Age of Enlightenment, when regards for economic markets were Holy Writ in British society. How during the famine, food, plentiful in other crops, were exported, while the rest of Irish society was left to suffer. But it is hard to blame them. How are you going to get food into the country, if the exporters didn't help? Except that that is all they could do.

For many in the end, even leaving for America and Canada didn't help. Many emigrants were so destitute, they didn't have enough money for food and water for their five month voyage. They were packed together in makeshift facilities aboard ship, which caused the other factor in the famine, pestilence.

Things were so bad that in Canada, government authorities tried to quarantine passengers. This caused a backlog of ships entering the St Lawrence River. Many died waiting to be quarantined. One ship had a 75 percent mortality of passengers.

This book is a fine historical narrative of a calamity written in a most readable format. The book turned out to be a welcome break from the military history I normally read.

-Land of the Free
Scientific consensus has become a manufactured construct, dictated by politics and power.
BLUF:
[ZERO] The recent release of the ’Twitter Files’ reveals how government agencies, Big Tech, media, and academia colluded in an effort to police online content, and censor dissenting voices to create a false perception of consensus.
/\ In reference to COVID
One egregious example was Stanford University’s Virality Project that brought together elite academia, experts in artificial intelligence, and social media companies to censor "true" stories of vaccine injuries under the guise of fighting disinformation.

Robert Malone, physician and pioneer of mRNA technology summed up the situation accurately when he said;

"The real problem here is the damn press and the internet giants. The press and these tech players act to manufacture and reinforce "consensus" around selected and approved narratives. And then this is being weaponized to attack dissenters including highly qualified physicians."

The pandemic has made this insidious behaviour more visible, but the reality is, it has been happening for a long time — I would know — I was caught up in it.

Dems' police-state tactics won't stop reporters like Matt Taibbi
[NYP] As every elementary student is told, a single letter can change an entire thought.

Leave off an "S" and your dessert turns into a desert.

A missing "R" turns a friend into a fiend.

For journalist Matt Taibbi, the brief accidental addition of an "A" may not only have changed the identity of a group, but, according to a ranking Democrat, put the convict into the meaning of conviction.

Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-VI), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, issued a letter that accused Taibbi of possible perjury because of an error that he made, not in testimony but in a tweet he later corrected.

At issue is Taibbi referring to CISA, the government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, when he meant to refer to CIS, the Center for Internet Security.

Plaskett’s threatening letter to Taibbi was immediately pushed on MSNBC by host Mehdi Hasan, who was shocked by the added "A" and called for the journalist to be criminally investigated for having "deliberately & under oath misrepresented" the facts.

(It was an ironic moment, as writer Lee Fang noted, given past allegations made against Hasan over false statements.)

For Taibbi, this is only the latest such unnerving moment.

When he was testifying before Congress on government censorship efforts, the IRS sent an agent to his home to look into irregularities on his taxes from years earlier.

Africa North
Rumors of a coup in Chad
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.Most of the text was posted from Wagner V Kontakte page.

[ColonelCassad] Please excuse me for disturbing you. Request for comment from The Washington Post.

My name is Rachel Chaison and I'm the West Africa Bureau Chief of the Washington Post. Thanks for answering our questions! I am working on an article that contains information about Wagner's alleged plans to destabilize the Chadian government, including allegations that you were personally involved in discussions about training a rebel group near the border with Chad. I would like to ask if you have any comments on this? All the best! (c) Rachel Chaison

“Rachel, as far as I remember, we did not have sexual contacts. And even in the bath with you did not wash together. And you are talking about how I discussed the issue of a coup in Chad. How can you even know the smells of some of my conversations? What you are asking is complete nonsense. But the question is this: You didn't fuck with me, but you discuss in detail the structure of my penis, which is very bad. Look at him first, and then ask.” (c) Yevgeny Prigozhin

In general, the interview about the coup in Chad did not work out.
Yesterday they were accused of taking part in the war in Sudan, today in a coup in Chad. And when Prigogine manages to do everything...

#3  In Chad you have the Arab Center-east and the Zaghawa; you have the North, the Borkou-Ennedi-Tibesti of the Toubou, and then there is the complacent south of African ethnicities. For over sixty years Chad has been an ungovernable-governed state. It was a playground for Qadafi; it has been threatened by the Sudan. Now it has the Boko Haram presence around Lake Chad. The French are constantly dipping their beak in the place. That the Wagner might be there? Welcome to the club.

Government Corruption
Don Surber: True to Their Roots
[via Insty] The FBI created a sting on a politician and held off prosecution for 7 years. Not only that but the FBI lied to him and then charged him with lying to the FBI. What a piece of blackmail the FBI would have held over a governor — if Gillum
...that’s Andrew Gillum, former Tallahassee mayor and the 2018 Democratic nominee for Florida governor. He is currently standing trial alongside Sharon Lettman-Hicks, his long-time mentor...
had been elected.

In this case, the FBI had evidence of what it now calls a crime in 2018 when Gillum almost became governor. No bust was made. The FBI — which has the ability to leak like a colander — said nothing to the press.

Imagine what power the bureau would have had in Florida if it could hold this over the head of a governor. Maybe it does. Who knows what dirt the FBI has in its files? The FBI tried to get Martin Luther King to kill himself once the bureau learned of his illicit affairs.
Hoover wipes a tear and says "That's my boys"

What he’s going on about, according to the Miami Herald:
Prosecutors allege Andrew Gillum broke the law but didn’t take bribes

[MSN] The opening statements in Andrew Gillum’s federal corruption trial on Tuesday were stark contrasts in viewpoints.

Either the former Tallahassee mayor who narrowly lost the 2018 governor’s race to Ron DeSantis was pretending not to take bribes from undercover FBI agents, as prosecutors allege, or he was really refusing to take bribes.

Either Gillum’s brother knew everything that Gillum was doing, as prosecutors allege, or his brother was just a troubled blowhard pretending to know.

How jurors view the situations over the next three weeks could decide the fate of the one-time rising star in the Florida Democratic Party, who is facing single counts of lying to FBI agents and conspiracy and 17 counts of wire fraud.

In a standing-room-only courtroom on Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Gary Milligan described a complicated web of contributions, bank transactions and text messages that he said showed Gillum scheming with his mentor and co-defendant, Sharon Lettman-Hicks, to illegally steer campaign money into his own pockets.

Milligan told jurors that Gillum was desperate for money after leaving a $120,000-per-year job with the progressive organization People for the American Way in 2016 to run for Florida governor.

With only his $70,000-per-year mayor’s salary, Gillum’s financial situation was “not ideal,” Milligan said. He had debts, including two expensive cars, house cleaners and private school payments for his kids.

To make up for it, Lettman-Hicks put him on the payroll at her company, P&P Communications, but the company wasn’t making any money from communications, Milligan said. Instead, the company was being paid in campaign contributions to do get-out-the-vote efforts and other work that never happened, he said.

UNDERCOVER FBI AGENTS
At the same time, undercover FBI agents posing as developers were delving into Tallahassee corruption. Milligan said their initial target was local developer J.T. Burnette, who is now serving a federal prison sentence on corruption charges.

At the time, Gillum was not on the FBI’s “radar screen,” Milligan said, but the undercover agents hired Gillum’s friend, Adam Corey.

The agents befriended Corey and Gillum’s brother, Marcus. The agents pretended they were interested in building projects in Tallahassee, and they proposed campaign contributions in exchange for Andrew Gillum’s support for the projects.

Andrew Gillum repeatedly told the undercover agents that they should “separate in their mind’s eye” the idea of tying campaign contributions to the projects. Milligan told jurors that Gillum was trying to have it both ways: taking bribes without acknowledging he was taking bribes.

“He wants something to happen, but he doesn’t want to take responsibility for it,” Milligan said.

Ultimately, Gillum “didn’t take a bribe,” Milligan told jurors.

The government accuses Gillum of soliciting political contributions under false pretenses, routing the money through Lettman-Hicks’ communications company, and then distributing the money to Gillum.

#1  But it is setting crimes up — entrapment — that threatens our republic most. The FBI apparently decides who is a criminal, sets them up and then busts them.

Consider the Whitmer Kidnapping Plot.
