Early Warning 1981 Film: It Predicted Davos Gang
The 1981 "end of days" film Early Warning now seems oddly prescient in some ways. As you can see in this clip, it predicted a future in which leaders from around the world would gather to strategize coordinated management of the world's population, taking advantage of crises ("never waste a crisis") to implement tracking numbers, measures to control public opinion, digital … [Read more...]
Libertarian Party Under New Management

Justice Clarence Thomas: Happy Birthday!
US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was born on June 23rd, 1948. He is a fan of Ayn Rand and has decided libertarian leanings. No wonder the left did everything it could to try to keep him off the Supreme Court. As he himself put it: “‘I felt as though in my life I had been looking at the wrong people as the people who would be problematic toward me. We were told that, … [Read more...]
UK Police Prioritize Censorship Over Burglaries
Per the Daily Mail, UK police failed to solve *any* burglaries in over half of UK neighborhoods in the past three years. It's no accident.

Harvey Weinstein: Hollywood Has Best Moral Compass

Tank is a chase film about an Army sergeant who uses his own Sherman tank to rescue his son from a corrupt local sheriff and make a run for the state border. This film has heart and … [Read more...]
