  1. Even if the WuFlu was a mistake and not malice by China, the amount of harm done by their sheer incompetence DEMANDS free nations de-couple, for their own self-preservation. Their contempt for people is impossible to hide, not that they hide it. They just shout down, bully or KILL anyone who speaks up.

  3. I always saw their buying-up our debt as a club to hold over us. My biggest fear was inflation, but if inflation hits, the Chinese lose most of what they invested in those bonds. Couple that with tit-for-tat tariffs and a tightening-up on intellectual property rights, and China goes into a tailspin. I don't think that matching their tariffs is a trade war, unless you admit China declared war against us years ago, and we're finally fighting back. The prices we pay for Chinese goods are artificially low. But so are the prices from SE Asia and other places. Manufacturing is ALREADY re-locating to SE-Asian countries like Vietnam. Who'd've thought Vietnam would be sticking it to China in the world marketplace when I was a boy?

  6. If he was any way involved in Wuhan lab, where they were not following protocol, he's in it up to his neck, as well. U.S. State Dept warned in 2018 that the place was an accident waiting to happen.

  7. Think about how WE affect politics South of the border. The War on Drugs has created a crime syndicate that's bigger than the Mexican government! We whine about how corrupt they are down there, but we bankroll the corruption with our policies. Anybody with principles down there is a prime target for destruction.

  8. Yes. Hitler just had a different version/brand of socialism than the Marxist-Leninists. Nazism was far left, not far right. Terrible myth.

  9. I usually think that "evil" is just something missing inside a person's heart/brain, like an illness. But I can't think of any other word for these sex traffickers. It's pure evil. I don't care if it's a mental defect or not. It simply can't be tolerated. Sentences for these crimes should be on par with 1st-degree murder.

  10. Doctors who developed highly successful treatment protocols were silenced by every means available. This goes beyond "honest mistakes." Yes, Jan. Finding authoritative sources for COVID treatment is problematic, inasmuch as "authorities" such as CDC, NIH/NIAID pumped out so much misinformation. Federal agencies did the OPPOSITE of what one would expect, if their purpose were to maximize the health of the public and the advancement of medical science. McCullough should've been one of the leaders in the effort - and he WAS - but you really had to dig to even HEAR of him, unless it was a breathless hit piece on MSM. If you were actively curious, though, it was fairly easy to slurp up the knowledge he shared before the BORG suppressed/deleted it.

  12. Depends on how far back you go - and you don't have to go very far! In years past, raiding villages for cattle, slaves and plunder was a pastime for half the world. Rape was part of the payoff for the men on the raids.

  13. It's also self-protection. A conservative isn't going to SUE you for some imagined slight, some "offense," that exists only in the mind of a lunatic leftist. And the Obama administration sent sinister, ambiguous warnings to business and education that they BETTER get woke, or the government and the courts would destroy them. It helps that a LOT of the higher-ups in industry and education WANT this woke bullshit, and eagerly embraced it, because they think it's RIGHT.

  14. Imagine if NO one was in charge, and all we did was share all data, openly and freely?

  15. People go from taking WISDOM from the Good Book to making claims based more in dogma than "We like these ideas." The Founding Fathers were mostly Christian, but I think Franklin and some others were more agnostic or Deist (There's a "God," but what form that takes is unclear.). I believe in God, and my God is pretty much modeled on Christ, but in a general way. Love and reason. And that reason has to stand up to reality or we dispense with it. In my case, it's because a "good God" wouldn't deny reality.

  16. "Look-say" sucks. My vocabulary exploded reading unabridged Edgar Rice-Burroughs. Some victorian nonsense about race in there, but great vocabulary for a grade-schooler.

  17. WuFlu might have had some impact, but I think the blatant hypocrisy of the woke crowd is finally catching up to them. Too many casualties from the circular firing squad, and too many blatant hypocrisies breaking through into even the legacy media.

  18. That's why it will NOT be heard. Too many people with too big a stake in perpetuating enticing fallacies.

  21.  @danielstapler4315  True. But he achieved the same tactical advantage at Waterloo, and he lost, anyway. Yes, this strategy is being employed against us as we speak. But I think they're in a losing game of wack-a-mole! Maybe We, the People, are Hydra! Each one who is singled out for censure, censoring and economically undermined, two more of us get pissed off about it. Ever tried to hold sand in your hand? The tighter you squeeze, the more it slips through your fingers. Maybe it's like antibiotics. The more they do this, the less effective it is. I think the population is building herd immunity against increasingly ridiculous lies and manipulations.

  22. They closed down the schools because the teachers were afraid of catching cooties from the children they obviously despised in their heart of hearts.

  23. If affirmative action worked, we wouldn't still need it. It was passed, originally, with the idea that it would be temporary. But like with all liberal "temporary measures," it gets etched in stone and made permanent.

  25. Colleges are doing everything they can to pass students who come to them unprepared. Nobody's talking about attacking the lack of preparation at the source. Instead, they try to make it up in college, and lots of kids end up getting "taught" the same stuff in high school and later, in college. And more are faking their way through college. All it takes are weak teachers. Upholding standards in college, nowadays, is like swimming against the tide.

  26. I find it ironic that the "glory days" of the FBI and Elliott Ness revolved around the rackets arising from enforcing laws that were later overturned? (Prohibition). What powered those racketeers? Endless demand for contraband alcohol.

  28.  Jerry Sherman  : I'm reserving judgement. But I agree that working for George HW Bush doesn't recommend him in my book, either. He SEEMS better, but he hasn't really changed much that I can see. DOJ and FBI still obstructing needed investigations. Will wait to see what Durham does. But my gut's telling me it'll be just another whitewash, with maybe a few underlings falling on their swords. But the people at the top? Still appear to be untouchable...

  29.  @arturiuspendragon6849  : We may come to find out that Sessions was part of a rope-a-dope strategy, leaving bad guys in place to run counter-intel on them, which they couldn't do if they fired everybody, like I wanted them to do.

  30. If you watch any of Trump's on-his-way-to-the-chopper interactions with the media can see that he's on top of his game, and wittier in the moment than uh, uh, uh, uh Obama was, whenever he got caught without his teleprompter.

  31. I think government power is already too pervasive. The censorship we see, NOW, is mostly college administrations zealously responding to signals sent down the pipe from the Dept. of Education (i.e., Obama's desk). What they need to go after are the leftists who threaten speakers they don't like, by whatever means. A mob that harasses and even assaults attendees to conservative speakers, etc. We don't need any new law or any new interventions. What we NEED are for college administrators to work with police to IMMEDIATELY arrest and prosecute and SENTENCE disorderly behavior that they've been giving a nod and a wink for so long. I don't want the feds using financial aid and grants as a club to hold over college's heads. 'Cutting them off' for not respecting the 1st Amendment begs the question "Why is government meddling in the affairs of these colleges?" It also is very short-sighted, because if those interventions are OK in YOUR cause, then next year, it'll be the excuse your opponents use when THEY are in power and they'll use it against YOU. Just a matter of abusing the language to get what you don't like to be defined as "bad" in some way, and use the precedent you set, when using power was OK because the OTHER guys are so bad.

  32. Regardless of how it got out, everything the Chinese did to save face, help themselves, and hurt the rest of the world shows a perverse disregard for human life that would be classified as 2nd-degree murder if it were tried in a U.S. court. 1st degree murder if you can prove intent with regard to NOT shutting down travel, abroad. The fact that they shut down travel within their own country at the same time is prima facie evidence of premeditation. They KNEW it was bad and they did everything they could to spread it to the rest of the world. Then they did everything they could to withhold vital information, only publishing the genome AFTER it was already being published by others, in spite of all their efforts to prevent that very thing from occurring. CCP just adds to its list of crimes against humanity and continues merrily on its way. I think the miscalculation made by the CCP as well as a lot of people in high places in our own country, is that they think that just because they live in a sanitized bubble that the rest of the world does, also. They can deny Tiananmen Square ever happened and make it stick in THEIR bubble, but the rest of the world's not in their bubble. Same with the DC fat cats living in their bubble. They think as long as the legacy media are spittin' out the narratives they live by, that the rest of the country feels the same way.

  33. He articulates this pretty well. Too many people equate "progress" with government power to MAKE things right. We have the French Revolution as a cautionary tale for what happens when equality is your 1st goal and individual rights are distant 2nd. The French should've known better, from history BEFORE them, but certainly AFTER them, we see how wrong things can go. For its more virulent forms, just look at Soviet Russia or Communist China (Vietnam, North Korea, Cambodia, Venezuela, ... ) . It all sounds really good, but it always leads to despotism. Sad thing is how many people have made it to adulthood without understanding these ideas. The trouble with technology is it's a 2-edged sword. The state can certainly single anyone out they please, but they can't single everyone out, and the tools they use against the people can also be used against THEM. The carelessness of people like Strzok and Page with their text messages illustrates this. People who abuse the tech think they're immune to the tech.

  34. The thing that makes history so difficult to un-pack is the fact that the skyrocketing prosperity due to FREEDOM correlates with the growth of government. So people say that big government means prosperity. But big government just grew like a parasite as soon as the prosperity that freedom brings made its growth POSSIBLE.

  35. Until they fix it, they need to shut it down. And I'm not sure it's fixable.

  36. Education has never been less expensive, in spite of the spiraling price. Education institutions are a big scam, nowadays.

  37. I disagree on one point. I think the feds have had the networks and big print media on a leash since the '40s and '50s. First, WW II gave them the excuse. Then the Cold War gave them an excuse. On issue after issue, I think it was the custom to make a few phone calls and get stories promoted or demoted. It wasn't draconian. The editors were generally on-board. After 4 or 5 FDR presidential terms, it was deeply ingrained in the national-news culture. It was the patriotic thing to do, in their minds. Do you think anybody who noticed FDR was stepping out on battleship Eleanor ever got to run his story? Of course not. The close "working with" social media by government agencies was something government officials just kind of took for granted would work as it did in legacy media. The Big 3 Big Tech platforms were supposed to be just as obedient as the legacy networks, but it was brand new territory and they thought they could continue censoring the same way they always had. They were mostly oblivious to the fact that such meddling was unconstitutional, although you see a number of comments where it's clear they didn't want the public to know what they were doing. They just couldn't help themselves. And they left an e-trail a mile long and a mile wide. I think we need statutory definitions and PENALTIES for this behavior - more than just a "Don't do that" or "Stop doing that." Real penalties. Not a one of those Constitution-vandalizing officials will face any criminal charges or sanctions. We need to be specific. Put real teeth into the law. These people can violate the U.S. Constitution and they don't even have to apologize when they're caught doing it. Just a court decision that says "You better stop or we'll shake a finger at you!"

  39. Yes. Blacks who transcend their outward physical characteristics and think differently than the authoritarians are DESPISED by the authoritarians. All of a sudden they can't just put anybody with a good tan into one bucket and then hand that bucket to their pals.

  40. Yup. The Ivy-League professors getting busted left and right are in the pockets of the Chinese. Makes you wonder about postmodernism in the humanities, as well. Almost like a Maoist take-over of history.

  41. Smart woman, but I disagree with her on the "one standard" for news. No. We need different eyes watching and different mouths speaking. The media's been subtly slanted for decades. Something happened in the early 20th Century, where we forgot that the press EXISTS to grind an axe. We pretended the media was objective truth, when the Founders made it clear that it was precisely for the purpose of dissenting voices (and axe-grinding) that the press must not be interfered with by the government. They EXPECTED there would be competing ideas doing battle in the public square non-stop. In a way, what's happened the last 3 years has been good for us. The rise of independent content creators has been good for us. People that are still in lock-step with the establishment hate it, because it forces them out of their comfortable rut. But people who think for themselves are having a lot more fun. Another CNN take-down. Another ABC take-down. These are music to my ears. I haven't bought what they've been selling for a long, long time. Thoughtful libertarians as well as thoughtful progressives (a bit of an oxymoron, there, I know) never got to see our side of the story. I wonder how much longer YouTube will be a semi-sanctuary for dissenting opinions. Not much longer. The legacy media, using corporate ad revenues as the lure and the wedge, are trying to sanitize YouTube.

  49. We don't need government to step in. We just need to sit back and let Big Tech's regressive suppression of free speech on their "platforms" do its work. Bit-Chute choked on all the new users, yesterday, after YT deleted Black Pigeon Speaks.
