Here, Breitbart News details 15 famous serial killers, murderers, rapists, kidnappers, and child sex abusers who would be allowed to vote from their cells under Sanders’ plan:

An Open Letter to My Fellow Americans

By Rabbi Yehoshua S. Hecht

We are living in a new era, a time when added security is needed in places where it was previously not considered essential. We need to ask how society got to this point. I believe too many observers are addressing symptoms and not the root of the caustic violence occurring across this country.

On the one hand, we see violent and deadly acts from extremists on all sides of the political spectrum. However, from my perspective and experience, I have come to the conclusion that American society is on the wrong path.

While hate emerges from both sides of the aisle, a feeling of acute helplessness causes violence. The rancor of the left — pundits and politicians — the bullying and demonizing, the denunciations of alternate political views as immoral and untenable, has pushed many buttons on unstable haters all over country.

We should not point fingers. However, the identity politics being pushed constantly by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Forward newspaper and website, the ACLU, the NY Times, and similar organizations, create an environment in which hatred has become the dominant cultural theme of our day. By denouncing political opponents as haters, they isolate and demonize whole swaths of this country, whose fringes are driven

further into extremism and even violence.

Those trafficking in the narrative of identity politics are the fascists of the left, ironically and inadvertently partnering with the hateful alt-right nationalists leading our commonwealth to a roiling state of discomfiture and enmity.

Our country is in big trouble when irresponsible leaders, who refuse to take responsibility for their overheated rhetoric, lead national human rights organizations. They see hate everywhere and suspect every opinion that does not reflect their own. Their overactive defensiveness causes untold damage by vilifying those outside their political circles.

I do not mean to assign blame for shootings to leftist leaders. The blame lies only in those who undertake these heinous attacks. I refer to the climate that encourages hatred to blossom into full-fledged violence[…]

AOC Brazenly Lies Again After Being Challenged on Ignoring Sri Lanka Massacre

Blames Trump for the fact that she failed to tweet about Islamic terorr attacks for a week

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brazenly lied again after being challenged by Kellyanne Conway on why she ignored the Sri Lanka massacre.

After CNN journalist Julian Zelizer misquoted Conway by saying she said AOC had not commented on the San Diego synagogue shooting, Conway corrected him.

“I was referring to @AOC silence about the Sri Lanka massacre of Christians (not “Easter Worshippers” as Obama and Hillary oddly said),” Conway tweeted.

Apple is Punishing Apps That Try to Stop People Becoming Addicted to Their iPhones

Apple is removing or restricting apps that are designed to prevent people from becoming addicted to their iPhones.

“Over the past year, Apple has removed or restricted at least 11 of the 17 most downloaded screen-time and parental-control apps,” reports the New York Times.

“In some cases, Apple forced companies to remove features that allowed parents to control their children’s devices or that blocked children’s access to certain apps and adult content. In other cases, it simply pulled the apps from its App Store,” writes Jack Nicas.

Breaking News: FISA Court Says FBI Lied to Them, Illegally Spied

On Wednesday night’s Ingraham Angle, there was a magnificent discussion about the sham Trump investigation with Rudy Giuliani, Joe diGenova and former Whitewater independent counsel Robert Ray that absolutely must not be missed. And I say that not because I was subbing for Laura Ingraham at the time.

After being on defense — with his hands legally tied — for the first two years of his Presidency, President Trump is finally able to go on offense, as he can no longer be accused of “interfering with the Russia investigation.”

But something else is afoot as well. According to diGenova, and here is the tremendous breaking news: The FISA court has been looking into abuses of the FISA system and has communicated with the Justice Department about its findings. Their chief judge has already determined that for more than four years before the election of Donald Trump, there was an illegal spying operation (yes, spying — and, yes, illegal) going on by four FBI contractors to break the law to steal personal electronic information about American citizens and to use it against the Republican Party.

Feds Disrupt ‘Multiple Target’ Terror Plot by Man Who Converted to Islam

Federal and local law enforcement agencies have disrupted a “multiple target” domestic terror plot by a U.S. military veteran who converted to Islam.

The man was caught in an online sting operation and arrested by the FBI before he had a chance to carry out the attack in Southern California.

“It’s unclear how far the plot got, but sources said the man had specific targets, including one in Long Beach,” reports the LA Times.

Former CIA Officer Warns Leftist Violence is Going to Get “Very Very Bad” Over the Next 2 Years

Giuliani: Mueller May Have Tried to ‘Frame’ President Trump

‘Some of the things haven’t even been revealed yet. [They] did some pretty outrageous things,’ he says

President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani accused special counsel Robert Mueller of doing “some pretty outrageous things” during his investigation into Russian collusion and President Donald Trump.

During an interview on “The Cats Roundtable” broadcast on AM 970 in New York, Giuliani told host John Catsimatidis that Mueller’s team of investigators might have even tried to “frame” Trump for working with the Russians during the 2016 campaign.

“In his overseeing of the investigation, [Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein] did act as somewhat of a conscience for an operation — Mueller’s operation — that had no conscience,” Giuliani said.

“Some of the things haven’t even been revealed yet. [They] did some pretty outrageous things. Because they thought they could do anything in order to either get President Trump or maybe even to frame him.”

Media Silent on Homegrown Leftist Terror

MSM only highlights stories that fit their anti-American narrative

19 year old San Diego, California Nursing student John T. Earnest, wearing a tactical vest shot up the Poway Synagogue near San Diego killing one and injuring multiple worshipers including the Rabbi and children. It was an off-duty Border Patrol agent, viewed by the left as nothing short of a Nazi that returned fire and stopped the carnage.

Immediately the left blamed Trump on Twitter. One tweet read “Another real donald trump supporter” and then wrote “Stand corrected. But trumps rhetoric makes more of these people to be allowed to do things like this….this country is rotting from the inside…and trump is the result of that!”

Mother Arrested for Letting Child Take Lyft to School

On Tuesday, the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office announced on Facebook that they’d arrested 27-year-old Reiona Oliver (stage name “GameOva Reedy”) after Oliver summoned a Lyft to her home to take her child to school eight miles away.

The Lyft driver, after realizing Oliver would not be accompanying her son, immediately drove him to a police station to report his mother. Oliver was arrested later that day.

Oliver, in a now deleted Instagram video, reportedly said that she sent her son to school by himself because she was not feeling well and that she didn’t see anything wrong with leaving him with a Lyft driver.

Lyft has a policy against drivers picking up unaccompanied minors, so it sounds like Oliver violated the company’s terms of service. But arresting her for this is ludicrous.

Firstly, if the driver was so opposed to taking Oliver’s son on an unaccompanied ride to school, it would have been far less of a hassle for everyone if he or she had just refused to take the child in the first place.

Obviously, the boy was not in danger from riding in a car with this particularly over-concerned driver. Taking him to a police station didn’t make the child safer; it only escalated what should have been a routine trip to school into a criminal matter.

‘Outrageous’ Bill May Release Murderers, Rapists Back on City Streets

A state bill that could unleash hundreds of locked-up murderers, rapists and other hardened felons is incensing New York City law enforcement officials who say it would undo years of crime-fighting.

The “elder parole” bill, which would grant parole eligibility to all inmates ages 55 and up who have been in prison at least 15 years, is “outrageous and idiotic,” said Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon.

The legislation would even extend to those serving life without parole, a group which includes famed criminals such as ‘90s serial killer Joel Rifkin, the Queens Wendy’s massacre mastermind John Taylor, and Bronx child rapist Clarence Moss.

Twitter Dumps Southern Poverty Law Center, Stops Making Hate Pay

Twitter has quietly dumped the Southern Poverty Law Center from its “Trust and Safety Council,” according to a recent report. After a March scandal exposed the Law Center’s leadership for apparently participating in the racist and sexist conduct it proclaims to be policing, it’s tempting to ask why Twitter didn’t loudly promote the separation. But a more pertinent question is: Why have media and corporate America ever relied upon the Law Center’s advice at all?

The recent scandal may have exposed the Law Center’s history of hypocrisy, but the rabid watchdog’s dishonest definition of “hate,” and arguably even more duplicitous fundraising from it, has been an obvious and ongoing scandal for years. It’s well past time for those who have relied upon this, sometimes dangerously, unscrupulous guidance to also dump the Law Center.

The Law Center’s reputation as the hate authority stems from supposedly well-researched lists of hateful extremist groups and individuals. And its so-called “Hate Map” does include some seemingly well-selected targets, such as 51 Ku Klux Klan affiliates.

But the Klan has absurd company. A 2016 Southern Poverty Law Center guide to supposedly anti-Muslim extremists warned journalists to steer clear of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a decorated human rights advocate who agitates against female gentile mutilation and other forms of Muslim extremism. Maajid Nawaz, mentioned on the same list, successfully sued the Law Center into a $3.4 million settlement and a public apology. Other Southern Poverty Law Center warning lists of alleged extremists have included Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, and Supreme Court litigators at the Alliance Defending Freedom.

The Family Research Council, a traditional conservative Christian group with a downtown D.C. headquarters, was deemed a hate group by the Law Center in 2010. Real hate arrived at the Family Research Council’s front door less than two years later when a domestic terrorist shot a security guard. Debriefed by the FBI, the gunman said he’d both picked his target and found its address by shopping the SPLC “hate” list.

[…]

Observers from within the civil rights community have known for years the Law Center and its founder, Morris Dees, were all about the money.

Yale law professor Stephen Bright, former director of the Southern Center for Human Rights, told the Los Angeles Times the Law Center’s fundraising was “fraudulent” and called Dees a “flimflam man” who “managed to flimflam his way along for many years.”

Former Law Center employee Bob Moser, writing in the New Yorker, noted the hate lists always seemed to grow suspiciously in concert with fundraising appeal hyperbole…

The corporate friends of the Law Center need to demonstrate Moser’s commendable self-awareness. Like Twitter, Amazon and other big companies have relied on the Law Center’s hate lists to make major business decisions. AmazonSmile, the retailer’s charity program, will not allow nonprofits listed on the Law Center’s “Hate Map” to participate. Visa and Mastercard flirted with refusing to process credit card donations made to groups listed on the map.

Prospects for internal reform at the Law Center are slim.[…]

Wealthy Elitists Freak Out as Hordes of Homeless People Take Over Their Neighborhoods All Over the West Coast

The elite are very “tolerant” of the homeless until they start showing up in their own neighborhoods.

Even though the mainstream media keeps telling us that the U.S. economy is “booming”, the number of Americans living on the streets continues to grow very rapidly, and this is particularly true in our major west coast cities. More than half a million Americans will sleep on the streets of our cities tonight, and they need help, care and shelter. Sadly, as economic conditions deteriorate that number is likely to double or even triple. Of course many among the elite are all in favor of doing something for the homeless, as long as they don’t have to be anywhere around them.

German Far-Right Training for Civil War & Collapse of State, Intel Warns

German ultra-nationalists believe a civil war and an eventual demise of the state will come about, and are preparing for it by training to use firearms and explosives, a local security service has warned.

An intelligence report seen by the paper calls for increased surveillance of so-called “preppers” — a loose network of ultra-nationalists who prepare for apocalyptic scenarios.

Pope Francis Urges Hairdressers to Use ‘Christian Style’

On feast day of patron

(ANSA) — Vatican City, April 29 — Pope Francis on Monday met representatives of the association of hairdressers, hairstylists and beauticians of Italy, on the feast day of their patron, St.

Martin de Porres, Vatican News said.

Francis urged the hairdressers to employ a “Christian style” and help contribute to the common good of society.

Some 230 members of Saint Martin de Porres Committee, that is present in many regions of Italy, met the Pope in the Vatican on their weekly day of rest on Monday, which this week coincided with the feast of their patron.

The Pope noted that their pilgrimage to the tombs of the Apostles in Rome and their meeting with the Successor of Peter are a sign of the importance they attach to the Christian faith, as well to the religious dimension that characterizes their association. This, he said, is because of St. Martin, their patron. The Peruvian saint of mixed race, the Pope explained, was accepted into the Order of the Dominican Fathers only as a tertiary and then as a brother and co-worker. He accepted this condition, living a life of utmost humility, radiated by love. With self-sacrifice, he devoted himself to the poor and the sick, providing them with health care, thanks to the concepts he learned first in a pharmacy and then as a pupil of a barber-surgeon, according to the custom of the time.

Born in Lima, on December 9, 1579, St. Martin died there on November 3, 1639. He was declared a saint by St. Pope John XXIII in 1962. Pope Francis said that the “humble and great figure of Saint Martin de Porres”, whom Pope Paul VI proclaimed patron of their category in 1966, helps them to “bear constant witness to Christian values.” “He encourages you, above all,” he said, “to practice your profession in a Christian style, treating customers with kindness and courtesy, and always offering them a good word and encouragement, avoiding giving in to the temptation of gossip that easily creeps into your work environment, that we all know about.” In conclusion, the Holy Father pointed out that each one of them, in their “typical professional work, can always act with righteousness, thus making a positive contribution to the common good of society.”

Stockholm Anti-Extremism Tsar: ISIS Returnees Now ‘Caring Citizens’

Stockholm residents have nothing to fear from Islamic State fighters, as they have returned from the Middle East to live peaceful, crime-free lives in Sweden — according to officials in the nation’s capital.

The capital’s anti-violent extremism co-ordinator, Christina Kiernan, made the claim that jihadists who had come back from Syria and Iraq were now living “orderly lives” following public anger over the government’s decision not to strip people who fought for radical Islamic terror groups of their Swedish passports.

“The IS returnees we have talked to so far have no known current crime, they have a job and an orderly life to the extent that we do not have knowledge of activities that can in any way scare anyone,” she insisted during an appearance on TV4 this week.

“So they are returning from this type of business and becoming caring, well-behaved citizens?” After Five presenter Tilde de Paula asked the Stockholm official to confirm.

“That is the experience of the people we have talked to,” Kiernan said, before admitting that “so far [this number] is only a few”.

Around half of the 300 militants the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) estimates left the Scandinavian country to fight in the Middle East are believed to have travelled back to Sweden, however a survey conducted in December revealed that local authorities had lost track of most of the returnees.

A look at the cryptic symbolism found on the cover of the Economist’s “The World in 2019” which includes the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. What are they trying to tell us?

Every December, the reputed magazine The Economist publishes a special edition that predicts the trends and the events of the year to come. And every time, the cover of these editions is an elaborate collection of images referring to various people and concepts. While the meaning of some of these images is obvious, others appear to be coded for “those in the know”. This year’s edition is no exception. In fact, it is more cryptic than ever.

Why would anybody spend time deciphering these covers? Because The Economist isn’t just any publication — it is directly connected with the world’s elite. It is partly owned by the Rothschild banking family of England and its editor-in-chief, John Micklethwait, has attended the Bilderberg Conference several times. In short, the leadership at The Economist has inside knowledge of the elite’s agenda, and they do their best to promote it.

UK: Subway Removes Ham and Bacon From Nearly 200 Stores and Offers Halal Meat Only After ‘Strong Demand’ From Muslims

Fast food giant Subway has removed ham and bacon from almost 200 outlets, and switched to halal meat alternatives in an attempt to please its Muslim customers.

It has confirmed turkey ham and turkey rashers will be used instead in 185 of its stores, where all the meat will now be prepared according to halal rules.

The chain, which has around 1,500 outlets across the UK, explained its decision by saying it had to balance animal welfare concerns with ‘the views of religious communities’.

Egypt Tries to Fix Its Railways, But Challenges Lie Ahead

(Cairo) Egypt’s new transport minister is focusing national attention on the railways in a positive manner for the first time in more than two decades. Kamel al-Wazir, an army general who headed the Engineering Section of the Egyptian army before taking over the transport portfolio on March 11, has turned the Railways Authority, the state-run operator of the nation’s trains, into a beehive of activity.

He tours the train stations, calls on administrative offices, and visits train maintenance workshops without giving prior notice.

Nevertheless, the new minister has a lot on his plate, even more than he can handle, transport experts have said…

Iran Appeals Directly to Trump: Your Advisers Dragging You Into War

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday that he believes President Trump’s own advisers, as well as Middle East allies like Saudi Arabia and Israel, are “dragging the United States into a conflict” with Iran.

It comes just days after Zarif made similar statements about the possibility of US and Iranian ships clashing in the Persian Gulf, warning that a false flag “accident” scenario could “lure” Trump into war — something which he thinks Trump himself doesn’t want to see happen. It appears Tehran’s new strategy as it reels from the sanctions squeeze on oil and Trump ending the crude export waiver program is to try and delicately peel Trump away from the American ‘deep state’.

Turkish ‘Justice’: Life in Prison for Journalists; Leniency for ISIS Terrorist

Two recent criminal cases in Turkey underscore Ankara’s disturbing double standard when it comes to the concept of justice.

In February, three dissident Turkish journalists accused of “attempting to overthrow the constitutional order” — for their alleged “involvement in the 2016 coup attempt” against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan — were sentenced to life in prison.

In March, Neil Christopher Prakash, an Australian ISIS terrorist caught in 2016 crossing the border into Turkey from Syria, was given a light sentence by the Kilis High Criminal Court.

Border Patrol: ‘Kids Are Being Rented’

DEL RIO, Texas—A 1-year-old baby that a Honduran man tried to pass off as his child—to gain a quick release from Border Patrol after illegally crossing the border—was not his.

The man was caught only through the vigilance of Border Patrol agents. By regulation, biographical information on children under 14 isn’t taken.

“You can walk through any of our processing centers and you can see that there are potentially parents, or adults with children, that there may not be a familial relationship,” said Raul Ortiz, Border Patrol chief for Del Rio, Texas. “There’s probably many more cases like that happening across all nine southwest border sectors on any given day. Really, if you think about it, it’s human trafficking.”

Rollins and Ryan said they worked with public defenders, prosecutors, and various community groups over the past year to file the suit, which alleges that the increased ICE enforcement is scaring away immigrants and therefore making it harder to bring cases.

Hungary: The EU Has Provided 2 Million Migrants With Unlawful Cash Cards Worth 1.55 Billion Euros in an Effort to Legalise Illegal Migration

Over two million migrants have received anonymous debit cards at a cost of €1.55 billion, according to the Hungarian government.

“Over two million migrants have received anonymous debit cards. The equivalent of 500 billion forints (1.55 bn euros) has been spent in this manner”, Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister György Bakondi said on Hungarian M1 television.

Mr. Bakondi said that the cards are unlawful, because European citizens cannot own anonymous banking cards, they cannot be monitored, and no public procurement procedure was launched for their issuing.

“Rosemary’s Baby”, Roman Polanski’s Ode to the Anti-Christ

An in-depth analysis of Roman Polanski’s “Rosemary’s Baby”, a disturbing movie that was released at a pivotal moment in American history.

The 1968 movie “Rosemary’s Baby” is one of Roman Polanski’s most chilling and acclaimed productions. The film describes the manipulation of a young woman by a high-society occult coven for ritualistic purposes. The movie’s unsettling quality does not rely on blood and gore but on its realistic premise, which forces the viewers to ponder on the likelihood of the existence of elite secret societies. Even more unsettling are the eerie real-life events that surrounded the movie involving ritualistic killings and MK Ultra. We will look at the symbolic meaning of “Rosemary’s Baby” and the stranger-than-fiction events that followed its release.

Although articles on the Vigilant Citizen usually pertain to new releases, a look at the past is often necessary to better understand the present. The state of today’s Illuminati pop culture is not a spontaneous trend that sprung out of nowhere. Rather, it is the result of years of occult influence on the entertainment industry and the gradual conditioning of the masses to certain messages and symbols. Although pop culture has always been tainted by the elite’s agenda to shape and mold young minds, it is during the 60s and the 70s that MK-Ultra stooges and dark secret societies became visible parts of the mix. The need to quell the anti-war and anti-establishment movements of the 60’s forced the elite to infiltrate and disrupt the culture. A series of destabilizing events occurred to shock idealistic minds and heroes became enemies. The “Peace and Love” of the 60s became Charles Manson and LSD in the 70s.

Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby and its story about the manipulation of a young woman by an elite witch coven to carry and give birth to the Anti-Christ captured the mindset of this era and became symbolic of the irreversible shift that happened in the late 60s. However, it is the real-life events surrounding the movie that truly defined this era: Less than a year after the release of Rosemary’s Baby, Roman Polanski’s pregnant wife was ritualistically murdered by members of the Charles Manson family. This horrific event brought a brutal end to the “good vibrations” of the 60s and is viewed by many historians as a pivotal moment in American history. We will look at the symbolic meaning of Rosemary’s Baby and analyze the strange events surrounding it, which involve occult secret societies, mind control, and ritualistic murders.

Adoption Agencies Can’t be Christian Anymore in Michigan

One of Michigan’s major Christian adoption agencies is reversing its policy against placing children with same-sex couples, thanks to a legal settlement drafted by the ACLU and Michigan’s radical attorney general, Dana Nessel. Bethany Christian Services, the Grand Rapids—based global nonprofit adoption agency, has announced that it will begin placing children in LGBT homes in Michigan, “in compliance with our legal contract requirements.” Bethany’s course reversal came after last month’s settlement agreement between the ACLU and the State of Michigan. Michigan was the defendant in the ACLU’s federal lawsuit demanding that Michigan terminate contracts with faith-based adoption agencies that follow their religious convictions regarding marriage. In a reported statement, Bethany expressed disappointment “with how this settlement agreement has been implemented by the state government.”

The people running Bethany might well be disappointed. Michigan’s previous attorney general defended the 2015 law protecting faith-based agencies like Bethany from being compelled to act in ways that violate their “sincerely held religious beliefs.” Nessel, who made her name fighting for LGBT causes, campaigned for A.G. promising she wouldn’t defend the law and would tell those in the Legislature they’d have to defend the law themselves “with private counsel.” But there was never a chance for that to happen, because within three weeks of her inauguration, she was announcing her intention to settle with the ACLU.

Back in 2012, the ACLU had joined up on Nessel’s side in her previous successful, pre-Obergefell same-sex “equality” case, DeBoer v. Snyder. It’s fair to say that on LGBT and religious freedom issues, Nessel and the ACLU are of one mind: all in for the former, staunchly opposed to the latter. This is as close as it gets to a lawyer negotiating with himself.

Sweet Jesus: The Disturbing Marketing of a Trendy ICE Cream Franchise

The marketing surrounding Sweet Jesus is based on satanic symbolism combined with children in creepy and questionable situations.

Sweet Jesus is an absurdly popular ice cream chain that’s been around for a few years and is quickly expanding in Canada and the United States. Deemed “Toronto’s Most Overrated Ice Cream” by the Globe and Mail, Sweet Jesus nevertheless attracts huge crowds on a daily basis. The chain has been enjoying lots of media coverage and because its stores are custom-made to be “Instagrammable”, Sweet Jesus is all over social media.

The chain does not only serve ice cream to its customers: The “experience” also involves intense imagery and Biblical references. This peculiarity even prompted a lengthy article on Medium that analyzes the “Christian symbolism” of the shop. While the article is very in-depth and used all kinds of references, it completely missed one point: The symbolism is not Christian, it is satanic. Because satanic symbolism is based on the inversion and the corruption of Christian symbols and Biblical references.

The marketing of the brand is all about ridiculing Jesus combined with satanic symbolism.

Although none of this would EVER exist if it ridiculed any other religion, one can still dismiss the above as an attempt at being “edgy and clever”. However, there’s more.

Sweet Jesus also created ads involving children. And they’re evil creepy. Not fun creepy. They confirm that this is not simply about being “edgy” … there’s a connection with the darker, more sinister side of the occult elite: Preying on children.

The Exploitation of “Drag Kid” Desmond is Amazing

According to his official website, Desmond is a “performer, drag kid, awarded LGBTQ advocate, outspoken gay youth, editorial model, public speaker, founder of his own drag house, fashion designer, muse, and icon”.

However, despite these lofty titles, many consider Desmond’s entire act to be little more than child abuse and exploitation by unscrupulous adult handlers. The controversy surrounding Desmond reached another level when a video of him dancing at a gay bar for tips surfaced online, sparking a bitter debate online and in the media.

At the center of it all is an 11-year-old child who has been exposed to the world of drag since he was a toddler…

Queen Lactatia, a 10-year-old Canadian boy named Nemis Quinn Mélançon-Golden, is also being heavily promoted in mainstream media. I won’t describe his entire life. You only need to see a few social media posts to understand that there’s something terribly wrong going on here…

Despite everything mentioned above, the mainstream media coverage of Desmond Is Amazing is overwhelmingly glowing. I did not find one mass media source that even mentioned some of the questionable-for-his-age things associated with his act. Quite to the contrary, all the reports and articles I found celebrate Desmond’s “fierceness” and paint his parents as saints. Why is the coverage surrounding him so Orwellian-ly one-sided?

Desmond is not simply a “boy who likes to dress in drag”. He is being used to push several agendas, including the sexualization of children and the normalization of pedophilia. To do so, he is being pushed into a world that is should be reserved exclusively for consenting adults. Anything else is child abuse.

Twitter User Blasted for Saying Miss Scotland Beauty Contest Not “Diverse” Enough

Neither is Miss Ghana

A Twitter user was blasted with thousands of responses after complaining that the Miss Scotland beauty contest was not “diverse” enough.

“Delighted to see such a diverse lineup for miss scotland this year,” Iain Robertson sarcastically joked, apparently triggered by the whiteness of the contestants.

However, the racial make-up of the roster is completely in line with Scotland’s demographics. The country is 96% white.

Robertson’s tweet prompted other users to jokingly complain that other country’s beauty pageants are not very “diverse” either.

In all, Robertson (who includes his ‘preferred pronouns’ in his bio) received nearly 5,000 responses to his original tweet.

Milton Friedman on the Perennial Mystery of Socialism’s Appeal Despite Its Demonstrated Record of Failure

From Milton Friedman’s introduction in 1994 to the 50th-anniversary edition of Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom:

To understand why it is that ‘good’ men in positions of power will produce evil, while the ordinary man without power but able to engage in voluntary cooperation with his neighbors will produce good, requires analysis and thought, subordinating the emotions to the rational faculty.

Surely that is one answer to the perennial mystery of why collectivism [and socialism], with its demonstrated record of producing tyranny and misery, is so widely regarded as superior to individualism, with its demonstrated record of producing freedom and plenty. The argument for collectivism is simple if false; it is an immediate emotional argument. The argument for individualism is subtle and sophisticated; it is an indirect rational argument. And the emotional facilities are more highly developed in most men than the rational, paradoxically or especially even in those who regard themselves as intellectuals.

Experience has strongly confirmed Hayek’s central insight—that coordination of men’s activities through central direction and through voluntary cooperation are roads going in very different directions: the first to serfdom, the second to freedom. That experience has also strongly reinforced a secondary theme—central direction is also a road to poverty for the ordinary man; voluntary cooperation, a road to plenty. The battle for freedom must be won over and over again. The socialists in all parties to whom Hayek dedicated his book must once again be persuaded or defeated if they and we are to remain free men.

NWO: Globalists Want to Annihilate 90% of the Human Race

New World Order globalists are seeking to eliminate 90% of the human race, in a bid to protect the environment. Those for mass death have convinced themselves that the only way to save the planet is to eliminate “useless eaters.”

The NWO and globalization has been happening for some time now, but there always appears to be a moment when the agenda’s rhetoric is ramped up to disturbing levels, complete with apocalyptic death. Even leftist totalitarian comedians like Bill Maher have joined in the horrific agenda pushing by saying he just wants people to, “Not have kids, DIE, and stay dead.” Maher said humans hurt the environment, so the solution is for them to die. (Did Maher forget he’s a human?) “As he argued that humans hurt the environment, he concluded that it would be better for Earth for more people to ‘not have kids, die and stay dead,’“ reports NewsBusters.org.

Leftists truly believe the planet will be destroyed if humans are allowed to survive much longer. Left-wing nut case Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns that planet Earth only has 12 more years before it will be destroyed by “climate change” — a completely fabricated junk science narrative invented by power-hungry Leftists who are almost universally illiterate in the realm of real science, reported Natural News.

There are far too many humans who believe that the slaughtering and killing off of billions of other humans is the answer to “climate change.” Because globalists truly believe humans are a threat to the planet, they have no qualms whatsoever about calling for the mass genocide of human beings around the world. After all, they are trying to “save the planet,” they tell themselves, which translates in their twisted and sociopathic minds, that the ends justify the means. (Did anyone just picture Adolf Hitler?)

Natural News further wrote that the global annihilation agenda is ramping up, and with it comes increased rhetoric. In fact, laws are now being pushed that will allow governments to efficiently dispose of billions of bodies by “recycling” them back into the food supply. (Soylent Green, anyone?)

    “The Exploitation of “Drag Kid” Desmond is Amazing” it’s amazing how sjws whine about children aparently being sexualized in advertising and then support this…

  2. If you’re considered a traitor to the EU then you’re doing something right.

  3. Why is it that these advocates of reducing the human population never start with themselves? I mean, lead the way by all means Bill Maher and take the overdose.

    • They’re too important: we need them to guide the rest of us into collective suicide!

      I did come across one dude who told me that his concerns about the planet led to him not wanting to have kids. I answered: “The earth will be populated by the descendants of people who don’t agree with you.” LOL… Another funny answer would be “Too bad your parents didn’t feel the same way!” – but that would be a lot nastier.

    Alabai (Central Asian Shepherd Dogs) saved their mistress from a maniac in Moscow

    A woman was walking her dogs – two alabayevs – at night in Pokrovsky Park and in the dark she did not see that a stranger had sneaked up to her unnoticed.

    The man grabbed a Muscovite, began to choke and drag in the direction of the pond. However, she managed to call for help, and the dogs came running to her cry, as they have professional training for such cases.

    Alabai drove the attacker to a tree, where he remained until the arrival of law enforcement officers.
    ============
    This news took place in several media outlets, but nowhere was the Muslim name of the maniac “Karim Salomanov” mentioned. Only on the Mash-channel on the link above.

  5. Re: “Rosemary’s Baby”. Polanski may not be the nicest guy on the planet, but he directed at least one masterpiece, “Chinatown”. There, as in “Rosemary’s Baby”, I see no evidence that he endorses the evil portrayed. His later film, “The Pianist”, about a musician stranded in the Warsaw Ghetto, could certainly not be interpreted as an endorsement of Nazism.

    • He obviously endorsed the normalising of satanic evil as a form of entertainment.

        • Putin, Hillary, Merkel etc.

          It appears Rosemary had more than one child.

      • I think it’s more complicated than that. There’s a good case to be made that in a secular age, people find such films reassuring: if spiritual evil exists, then so must its opposite. And many of us just like having the excrement scared out of us!

        • Unfrotunately, as a society we seem to have the lost the ability to discern where entertainment ends and de-sensitisation begins.

          Those of us who have had to see the blood spattered walls of a murder scene or the suicide scene of a person tormented by inner demons: we do not understand why people need to spend money at a theatre or sit with their kids on the couch and watch gratuitous violence and evil personified.

          Watching the daily news, everyday life and relationships teach us that evil is real.
