SHEFALI writes from India:

Growing up as a convent-educated woman, I wistfully dreamt of the old country. Lace tablecloths, cups of the finest Darjeeling over a Charles Dickens. I know now the West I once lionized with the civility and beauty lacking in my own surroundings is an illusion that exists in the minds of us bigots. It’s exactly like you said, first same-sex marriage, then siblings, then a menage-de-trois, then maybe one with your own pet. In times like these, you know that either you are insane or the whole world is.

THIS 2012 video presents seven facts that challenge the official story of 9/11. One of those “facts” is that the remains of the 19 hijackers were never found. The FBI, however, claims that the remains of some of the hijackers have indeed been found and are stored in an undisclosed location. Given that this DNA evidence has never been independently verified, I consider the video’s point on this subject valid.

The fake shooting of Alison Parker

MAKIA FREEMAN writes at a New Age-y site with a healthy skepticism about major news events:

The recent spate of amateurish false flag shootings, which are now being rolled out at an increasingly rapid pace, give one cause to wonder: why? Why are the elite orchestrating such feeble and poorly executed false flag shootings? With all their money, power, control of the media, control of law enforcement and control of politicians, why can’t they make these false flag shootings look more real? Aren’t they worried that with such amateurish false flag shootings they are running the risk of being caught? Of being exposed? Of doing such an atrocious job that it defies common belief, and thus acts as a catalyst to wake people up?

[….]

Since the elite own the MSM and Hollywood, they could pull off a false flag shooting that looked way more believable than what we have been seeing. Is it possible these amateurish false flag shootings are calculatedly fake? In other words, are they a kind of test to see who’s paying attention? Is one of the main points (alongside gun control, promotion of fear, promulgation of terror, police state mental conditioning and distraction) to collect data on post-crisis reaction? Read More »

#PopeFrancis: “I like to laugh–a lot. It helps me feel closer to God & closer to others.” 

Jokes can change the world. (So can papal impostors.)

“When we laugh with each other — and not at each other — God’s love is present in a special way,” Francis says.

Forget the ancient pursuit of holiness. Let’s laugh! God isn’t dead. He’s a Clown.

THESE interesting and charming photos taken by the social reformer Lewis Wickes Hines show mostly mothers and children doing paid labor at home in the early 1900s. The photos were used to campaign against home labor, writes Barbara Wells Sarudy.

The captions published with the original photos are not flattering. The text for a photo of what appears to be a contented family picking nuts reads:

“Picking nuts in dirty basement. The dirtiest imaginable children were pawing over the nuts eating lunch on the table, etc. Mother had a cold and blew her nose frequently (without washing her hands) and the dirty handkerchiefs reposed comfortably on table close to the nuts and nut meats. The father picks now. New York City, December 1911”

A PITTSBURGH area barber, who turned away one potential female customer, has been fined $750 by the state for “gender discrimination.” He says he had no idea he was required to serve women.

“I didn’t really consider it so much a discrimination thing as – it’s a barbershop… for guys,” he said.

Silly man. He didn’t know the sexes have been outlawed. Read More »

THE blogger Weapons Man analyzes the recent graduation of two women from the grueling Army Ranger School:

The two women who were nurtured through Ranger School recently (and who, we must say, showed incredible grit and determination to hang in there through multiple recycles) were so much more impressive than the 136 who fell by the wayside that the Army has decided, after long deliberation a pause to provide a Decent Interval® and look like long deliberation of orders that came from Ash Carter and John McHugh, to open all future Ranger classes to women. Who will graduate. Remember, we called it back in November 2014, as the first 31 women for the Corps of Commissars were selected (out of 36 volunteers… now that’s real selectivity): Lower Standards, Commissars, to Guarantee Graduation. The distaff Ranger graduation is also being used as a wedge to crack open the rest of combat arms, because the Maslovian self-actualization of a couple of career women who want to play Army, and a victory for the lesbo-wiccan coven that is DACOWITS, are more important than whether units can fight and actually beat anybody. “Since they’re only ever going to play Little League, we might as well get ’em used to participation trophies.” [cont.]

It seems that the “cost” of “women” in combat is a loss of womanhood and thus a self-revocating appropriation of the title “woman” for each and all female so inclined to make it all the way to the war zone AS combat soldiers. Furthermore, you, with all due respect, are invoking what I call “cultural correctness.” Similar to political correctness, it is the traditionalist’s “liberalism.” By using the phrase “women in combat,” you are unwittingly helping to manufacture a false liberal reality. It seems that a female who volunteers to war void a motivating existential crisis is VOLUNTARILY QUITTING any viable path to womanhood. Ergo, there is no such thing as a “woman” soldier in the U.S. military. To be a soldier is to be a paid and trained killer and women cannot be paid and trained killers AND STILL BE women any more than a woman can be sexually averse to man and be known as a lesbian “woman.” In this subtle imposition of cultural correctness, you are, in fact, exalting the liberationist, ie., the female/dyke/de facto dyke at the expense of the essence of woman. In the inverted realm of radical liberation, it is in the “dyke” “soldier” where one finds something “more” than just “woman.” In the perverted realm of radical autonomy, “we” are to believe the “dyke” “soldier” is MORE THAN just a woman. Of course, “ours” is the absolute opposite reality. Woman CANNOT be a soldier and woman CANNOT be a dyke UNLESS there is simply no womanly essence to speak of. To be these things… Soldiers and dykes and female autonomists… Is to not be women, period.

We will have to agree to disagree on this.

FROM John Gray’s False Dawn: The Delusions of Global Capitalism*:

The free market is a construction of state power. The idea that free markets and minimum government go together, which was part of the stock in trade of the New Right, is an inversion of truth. Since the natural tendency of society is to curb markets, free markets can only be created by the power of a centralized state. Free markets are creatures of strong government and cannot exist without them … It is well illustrated by the short history of 19th century laissez-faire. The free market was engineered in mid-Victorian England in exceptionally propitious circumstances. Unlike other European countries, England has long traditions of individualism. For centuries yeoman farmers were the basis of its economy. But only Parliament [in which most English people were unrepresented] using its power to amend or destroy property rights and create new ones — through Enclosure Acts in which much of the country’s common land was privatized — did an agrarian capitalism of large landed estates come into being … By the middle of the 19th century, through the enclosures, the Poor Laws and the repeal of the Corn Law, land, labour and bread were commodities like any other: the free market had become the central institution in the economy … By the First World War, markets had been largely re-regulated in the interests of public health and economic efficiency.

My analysis of new IRS data shows that, adjusted for inflation, the bottom half of Americans reported average total incomes (excluding welfare benefits like food stamps) of just $14,775 in 2012, down 18 percent from 2003. [emphasis added]

IN this 2014 Infowars interview, Rudy Dent, who had recently retired in 2001 after 32 years with the New York Fire Department, describes what he saw on 9/11.

A reference is made to Larry Silverstein, owner of the World Trade Center complex who made a comment on 9/11 that the Fire Department was going to “pull” World Trade Center 7, the 47-story building which was not hit by a plane and strangely collapsed in six seconds later that day. Dent explains why Silverstein’s comment was patently false. He said many firefighters cannot speak out for fear of their pensions and jobs.

Of course, many brainwashed Americans would automatically dismiss Dent. Despite his decades of firefighting experience and the lack of any motive for him to lie at the risk of his own reputation, he is just a “truther,” as if pursuing truth is lunatic. Read More »

THIS POST is for parents of children in the ten- to 12-year-old age range. Mothers and fathers, please pass on this important knowledge to these children, an audience which is dramatically under-served by this website.

Many of these children are resuming schoolwork this week, and my heart goes out to them. I would like to give them this vitally essential knowledge to distract them from their disgusting and exploitative drudgery and show them that there are some things which are never, ever found in school books. In the first two and half minutes of this video, they can learn how to pull out a loose tooth. It’s common sense, and it works!!

MR. JORGE BERGOGLIO, leader of the One World Church, not the still-existent Catholic Church, streamlines the process for Catholic “divorce.”

See the report at Novus Ordo Watch. 

CHERYL Chumley at World Net Daily reports on a Fox News show in which two attorneys and host Gregg Jarrett come to the unified conclusion that Kim Davis’s legal defense is “stunningly obtuse.”

The attorneys reject both the argument that the Supreme Court does not make state laws, and thus cannot command Davis to issue same-sex “marriage” licenses, and the argument that Davis has a constitutionally-protected right to act upon her religious beliefs. Read More »
