AMAZON has removed it and the website Infowars has mysteriously deleted an article about the ban. Nobody Died at Sandy Hook is a new book that appears to hit too close to home. It is now available free in pdf format. Skip the introduction, and go right to some of the articles in this compilation edited by Mike Palecek and Jm Fetzer. I recommend "Top Ten Reasons: Sandy Hook Was an Elaborate Hoax," by Dr. Vivien Leigh, starting on page 57. “It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” –Sherlock Holmes (“The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet”)

On Wednesday, I will, once again, travel to the Supreme Court building to hear Round II of (Abigail) Fisher v. the U. Texas. Fisher, who is white, sued the U. Texas in 2008 over a university policy that denied her admission, but granted black and Hispanic students with lower Grade Point Averages and tests scores access to the university. Fisher claimed that she was denied admission because race was not “a,” but “the,” standard used in in selecting students who are not in the top 10% of their class. (more…)

IN this entry about the Pentagon’s decision to admit women to all combat roles — a decision which was clearly foreordained before the bureaucratic charade of testing women to see if they could do it  — a reader explains why women do not belong in combat even if a minority of brave and strong Amazons can actually do it. His comments are in response to another reader who maintains that women can perform well in certain military roles.

Pete writes:

[T]he argument that a “few females could do it all” is wholly insufficient to justify inclusion of women in the combat arms, and even in many combat support/service billets. Here’s why: Men act – and perhaps more-importantly, bond — differently in a co-ed environment than they do in the presence of other males.

Elite all-male military formations are characterized by brotherly love, i.e., the willingness of individual soldiers (Marines, airmen, sailors, etc.) to “take a bullet” for one another. The espirit d’corps of traditional (male only) units depends wholly upon trust, shared sacrifice and the notion that each man is shouldering his share of the danger, risk and hardship associated with military service – up to and including combat.

Moreover, enlisted men trust their officer leaders only when they fulfill a very specific set of criteria – namely, leaders (whether NCOs or officers) must be seen as being the best at everything they do. Bluntly, the men must see their leaders as alpha and not beta males. Second, leaders must be seen to share the same hardships and dangers as the men they would lead. Third, the true leader never asks his men to do something he himself is incapable of doing or unwilling to do. At the very least, he may no longer do those things, but he once did. Finally, the true leader puts the needs and welfare of his men before his own. He doesn’t eat, he doesn’t sleep – until the needs of his men have been addressed. He is the first on the field of battle and the last off of it. Although rank hath its privileges, he cannot be seen to enjoy too many comforts his men do without – or he risks losing respect of his men.

The introduction of women into heretofore all-male formations is enormously destructive to the unit cohesion, espirit d’corps and morale of those units – and this outcome is independent of the capabilities, talents and skills of the females themselves. The very presence of women profoundly alters the willingness of men to trust one another, sacrifice for one another and ultimately, risk harm and/or death for another.

The strength of the wolf really is the pack – and that pack is male. (more…)

HAS there been a major glitch in the staging of a massacre (in which real people may have been killed) in San Bernardino, California? The family of the Muslim man accused of being the terrorist responsible for the attack says none of it adds up. Could it be that this family’s possible failure to cooperate was not considered in advance? Did the inconceivably evil practitioners of political theater who are engaging in criminal acts of treason and psychological manipulation by staging mass shootings mess up?

William N. Grigg writes at Activist Post:

The question of how Sayed Farook could have mutated into a human monster capable of mass murder is just one of many questions plaguing the family of the man accused of carrying out Tuesday’s terrorist attack in San Bernardino. In an interview with CNN, the family’s attorney describes numerous ways that the official story of that horrible crime “doesn’t add up.”

“There’s a lot of disconnects, and there’s a lot of unknowns, and a lot of things that quite frankly don’t add up,” insisted attorney David S. Chelsey, who represents Farooq’s family when asked by CNN correspondent Chris Cuomo how the family “could explain how he went from someone they knew and loved to someone who could do something so monstrous.”

Witnesses and investigators have both described a terrorist onslaught carried out with military precision by suspects who were trained and capable. Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, didn’t appear to have the necessary background and skillset, according to Chelsey.

He expressed particular skepticism that Malik, who was nursing a newborn child, was suitable to carry out a depraved mission of that kind: “She was only about ninety pounds, so it’s unlikely she could even carry a weapon, or wear some type of a vest, or do any of this.”

The most provocative claim made by Chelsey dealt with the condition of the alleged terrorists when their bodies were found:

Where the couple was found, from what I understand, is that they were handcuffed, lying face-down in this truck, shot up.

The macabre photos provided by the police do indeed show Tashfeen Malik lying face down with her hands cuffed. Since when do police shoot people in handcuffs? Since the American police state was fully installed. (more…)

I don’t understand how this federal money creation scheme works. I thought that the banks created credit (money) based on the federal government’s promises to repay via tax collections. That wouldn’t be “money from thin air,” so there must be some other razzmatazz going on that that phrase refers to.

NOW that the Pentagon has approved women in all combat roles, it is only fair that women be required to register with the Selective Service and and be drafted in the event of war. Army Secretary John McHugh acknowledged as much this fall. According to the New York Post, on Oct. 24th:

McHugh, speaking at an Army conference this week in Washington, DC, said draft registration — while just one element of US military operations — “will be one of those things that will have to be considered.”

“If we find ourselves as a military at large where men and women have equal opportunity, as I happen to believe they should, serving in combat positions at least on a formal basis … then ultimately the question of extending the selective service requirements to women as well will have to at least be discussed,” McHugh said.

There is no reasonable argument for excluding women. The privileges of military service should come with the duties. Extension of the draft must be approved by Congress. Start preparing your daughters for military service. Let them play with plastic soldiers instead of dolls. (more…)

This is the logical conclusion of the drive already well under way when Ford (which means Nixon, really) forcibly coeducated the service academies in 1976, lying already about maintaining standards as Carter does today, but it’s none the less insane for that.

If I were a Russian or Chicom Marshal – or a bloody-minded jihadi – I should be having a hearty belly-laugh at this Yankee folly… But I’m an American vet, so I remember better days and tell myself that what can’t last, won’t.

From The New York Times:

In a historic transformation of the American military, Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter said on Thursday that the Pentagon will open all combat jobs to women.

THERE were 11 mass shootings under Ronald Reagan, 12 under George H.W. Bush, 23 under Bill Clinton, 20 under George W. Bush and --- whoaa! --- 162 (so far!) under Mr. Obama. As Redsilverj puts it, "That's bullcrap!"  You're being hosed, folks. Oh, and by the way, where is that oh-so-gutsy and independent Mr. Trump on these transparent frauds? Huh? Hear a word from him about these acts of criminal treason? Silence speaks volumes. You're being hosed, folks, regardless of whether the latest shooting in San Bernardino is real or not. You're being taken to the cleaners left and right. And they're laughing at you. When liars get away with lies, they lie more and more.

BECOME a resister. Reject the false and meretricious in these weeks before Christmas. Observe Advent, placing limits on the exhausting, soulless, secular shopping fest. Recollect yourself every day and walk through that sublime, evergreen forest of expectation in your mind. Recall your sins with sorrow and ask God to illuminate your heart and mind with hope and true love for the divine Infant Child.

Do you ever wonder why Christmas decorations look so tawdry after Christmas? It’s perhaps because they remind us of missed opportunities. If you don’t have the spirit of Christmas within, what difference does it make how many sprigs of fake holly you own or how enchanted your children are on Christmas morning? We’re all dummies when it comes to Advent, having lived in a culture that marginalizes this phase of the year.

It’s true, there are moments of euphoria in the hectic “holiday season.” But there are moments of euphoria in a dose of heroin too. That euphoria has a price: anxiety, stress, financial insolvency and distraction from the essence of Christmas.

Thomas Droleskey explains the true meaning of Advent, and how to observe the season, at Christ or Chaos:

The principal of a fully traditional Catholic school some years ago now explained some basic Catholic teachings about Advent in a letter sent home parents to explain why the school would not be participating in a tree lighting ceremony in a nearby park:

This letter is to inform you that the students will not be participating in the annual tree-lighting ceremony.

The ceremony, scheduled for December 1st, is to be secular in tone, featuring such songs as “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and “Frosty the Snowman,” so as to be politically correct by modern standards. We, as faithful Catholics, do not condone the premature celebration of the feast of Christmas itself, nor do we approve of the purely secular “holiday” celebrations which the world in general promotes as a “Christ-less” alternative to Christmas. Therefore, we cannot participate in the planned festivities on Stepney Green. (more…)

FROM The Free Thought Project: What makes this noteworthy is that this is not the first time that emergency drills for the exact scenario unfolding were taking place at virtually the same moment the actual terrorist attacks began. Paris-area emergency personnel and ambulance crews were taking part in a simulated emergency exercise on the very same day the Paris terrorist attacks took place. During the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., North American Aerospace Defense Command’s (NORAD) was in the midst of a training exercise called Vigilant Guardian, which “coincidentally” simulated planes being hijacked by terrorists. The Free Thought Project has heard from a source on the ground, that the target inside the Inland Regional Center [in San Bernardino, California] was a gathering of government officials. This was confirmed by KTLA and Marybeth Feild, president and CEO of the Inland Regional Center, told the Associated Press that “the incident is in the conference area” at the center rented by an outside group, which she couldn’t identify.

FROM CNN:

President Barack Obama reiterated his call for more gun control reforms to make mass shootings in the U.S. “rare as opposed to normal” in the wake of a mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.

Speaking to CBS News moments after news broke of the shooting, Obama called for “common sense gun safety laws” and urged lawmakers to pass a law to prevent individuals on the “No Fly List” who are barred from boarding commercial flights from legally purchasing firearms.

“We don’t yet know what the motives of the shooters are but what we do know is that there are steps we can take to make Americans safer,” Obama said in the interview. “We should never think that this is just something that just happens in the ordinary course of events because it doesn’t happen with the same frequency in other countries.”

Obama said the pattern of U.S. mass shootings “has no parallel anywhere else in the world.”

Emergency personnel responded late Wednesday morning to reports of a shooting that killed or injured as more than 20 people, according to law enforcement. (more…)

THE HAPPY SURVIVOR is a standard fixture of the shooting psy-ops which are now coming so fast and furious it's hard to keep up. The Happy Survivor is the tear-less, dry-eyed, smiling relative or friend who has totally assimilated a violent death of a loved one within days or even hours and talks about immediate forgiveness, raves about the dead person's fantastic love of life, and stresses the importance of moving on. He may even, as in the case of one Sandy Hook mother, load up on some Sharpie pens and scribble happy messages on a coffin. Ah, the joy of the life cut down! In short, the Happy Survivor is not to be believed. Whoever the producer is, he is repeating himself. Two recent examples of the Happy Survivor are Zoe Alexander, the sister of Nick Alexander, who allegedly died at the Bataclan Theater in Paris (hilarious interview footage with mildly profane analysis by RedSilverj above) and Davey Blackburn, the photogenic Indiana "Christian pastor" whose wife, Amanda, was allegedly gunned down by two black assailants on Nov. 10 in Indianapolis. A few words about the Blackburn case: The coroner became involved before Mrs. Blackburn was dead. Coroners are never called until there is a dead body. Sorry, but that's just standard protocol. It's downright rude when a coroner gets involved too soon. That is just one tip off in this case. Here's another: Davey Blackburn, who exudes intense self-love in all of…

“POPE” FRANCIS’S latest interview, given on the plane home from Africa, where he wound up his junket by praying at a mosque, is so incoherent and offensive it suggests brain damage or the effects of hallucinogenic substances. (Highlights of interview with commentary here; full text here.) But this isn’t dementia. It’s Jorge, and the inevitable incoherence of a man who takes his New World Order religion seriously.

This is like having serial nightmares. It’s not only the underhanded insults this blasphemous clown constantly throws at Catholics, or his heresies and leftist jargon, but the fact that so many Catholics masochistically consider this impostor to be a true pope. The alternative is the recognition that we have a vacancy in the papacy. So what? The papacy itself remains untouched. It will live on and on as long as this world survives. When God gave us the papacy he gave us a rock, for heaven’s sake, not a sledgehammer. (more…)

IT'S ONE thing to realize in the abstract that the Vatican II Church, found at your local parish, is not the Catholic Church. It's another thing to put that realization into practice. In this episode from the Restoration Radio network brought to you by Novus Ordo Watch, Father Michael Oswalt discusses making the leap out of the "Novus Ordo Church." "Realizing the Novus Ordo sect is not the Catholic Church requires an end to attending the Novus Ordo. There will be many obstacles, including human respect and love of comfort but continue to make acts of faith, acts of love toward God. God will help you with His grace to continue to build virtue and strength to carry the cross and follow His will as a Catholic. Father also discusses how leaving affects the duties of those who are married or single and how to seek the true Sacraments." Almost everyone who makes this leap does so from the Novus Ordo Church. Therefore the change is no more an attack on the people who remain behind than it is an act of self-criticism. At first, "it seems as though you're trying to step across the Grand Canyon," Father Oswalt says, but unexpected graces flow from the change.  It's a difficult transition but "we're not meant to be comfortable." On the bright side, Father Oswalt says in a previous episode, never before have traditional Catholic materials been so available to those who do not…
