Greasy South Dakotan motorcycle enthusiasts don’t get to have fun, but “sophisticated, vaccinated” elites can party for days.
According to Anthony Fauci, if you attend the Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota you are complicit in spreading death. However, untested and unvaccinated migration en mass at the southern border, as well as elite gatherings of hundreds of people are apparently not a concern.
Appearing on Meet The Press, Fauci was asked of the Sturgis meet by Chuck Todd “What do you expect this rally to do to that part of the country?”
He responded “I’m very concerned we’re going to see another surge related to that rally.”
Fauci continued, “To me it’s understandable that people want to do the kind of things they want to do. They want their freedom to do that, but there comes a time when you’re dealing with the public health crisis that could involve you, your family and everyone else, that something supersedes that need to do what you need to do.”
“You’re going to be able to do that in the future, but let’s get this pandemic under control before we start acting like nothing is going on. Something bad is going on. We’ve got to realize that,” Fauci maintained.

Greasy South Dakotan motorcycle enthusiasts, on the other hand, don’t get to have fun.
Seems like the NYT's stamp of approval for Obama's opulent, massive, indoor maskless party for the "sophisticated people" is a bit at odds with Dr. Fauci's demand this morning that motorcyclists stop acting like spoiled children by gathering outside:https://t.co/Fd0IT7pYbl
Elsewhere during the interview, Fauci again claimed that the unvaccinated will be to blame for new deadly variants of coronavirus emerging, despite the CDC’s admission that vaccinated people are still getting and transmitting the Delta variant.
“There’s a tenet that everybody knows in virology: a virus will not mutate unless you allow it to replicate,” Fauci said, adding “Fortunately for us, the vaccines do quite well against Delta, particularly in protecting you from severe disease.”
He added, “But if you give the virus the chance to continue to change, you’re leading to a vulnerability that we might get a worse variant, and then that will impact not only the unvaccinated, that will impact the vaccinated because that variant could evade the protection of the vaccine.”
Fauci further commented “It is, as we’ve said, a pandemic and an outbreak of the unvaccinated.”
Fauci again touted vaccine mandates, declaring “The time has come and we’ve got to go the extra step to get people vaccinated. You want to persuade them, that’s good. And I believe that some people, on their own, once it gets approved as a full approval will go ahead and get vaccinated. But for those who do not want, I believe mandates at the local level need to be done.”
He also doubled down on masking for kids, proclaiming “we’re having a strong recommendation that in the schools everybody should wear a mask, whether or not you’re vaccinated,” and adding “We’ve got to protect the children.”
No mention from Fauci of the unmitigated crisis at the Southern border, however, where thousands of illegal immigrants are pouring into the country everyday, being held in packed-in squalor for days and then being released into the country without testing or treatment.
Apparently that also doesn’t spread COVID, despite the urgent pleas of doctors on the border, who have labeled it “grossly irresponsible”.
Thursday marked the 151st birthday of the most successful revolutionary of all time, Vladimir Lenin. With only a tiny cabal of diehard followers, Lenin seized control of the world’s largest country and inaugurated a reign of darkness and terror that lasted seventy years.
There are many lessons to draw from the blood-soaked life of Lenin. But one of the most important is this takeaway for the terrifying “woke” moment America is living through right now. Things are not going to naturally get better. Things will not organically “calm down.” Until there is a fundamental reset of America’s treasonous leadership class, today’s unthinkable witch hunt is merely a prelude of an even darker globalist terror to come.
The Bolsheviks were indisputably more murderous than today’s left (if only because they lived in a more violent age), but even they had to ramp up how much terror they engaged in.
At the beginning of their rule, in fact, the Bolsheviks were even willing to run a fair election. Just days after the October Revolution, they held the preplanned elections for Russia’s Constituent Assembly, anticipating an easy win. To their surprise, they were easily defeated by the Socialist Revolutionaries. And so, like any good leftists, they simply nullified the election and dissolved the Constituent Assembly. Since it was 100 years ago and the Bolsheviks were well-armed, it was enough to simply announce that the Constituent Assembly was closed. Today, they might concoct a more elaborate narrative, perhaps that the Socialist Revolutionaries engaged in “collusion” with a foreign power.
Once they had taken power, the Bolsheviks didn’t immediately launch Stalin-style mass purges. Instead, the Bolsheviks started off in a way modern Americans would find disturbingly familiar: By legitimizing criminal anarchy and co-opting the justice system.
In their earliest days, the Bolsheviks framed their political abuses as a “war on privilege.” In a tactic eerily reminiscent of 2020’s riots, the Bolsheviks of 1918 encouraged a decentralized campaign by the masses to plunder and crush class enemies.
In January 1918, at a meeting of party agitators on their way to the provinces, Lenin explained that the plunder of bourgeois property was to be encouraged as a form of social justice by revenge. It was a question of ‘looting the looters’. Under this slogan, which the Bolsheviks soon made their own, there was an orgy of robbery and violence in the next few months. Gorky described it as a mass pogrom. Armed gangs robbed the propertied — and then robbed each other. Swindlers, thieves and bandits grew rich, as law and order finally vanished. [Figes, A People’s Tragedy, p. 525-526]
This class-based economic warfare was coupled with a revolution in criminal justice. First, the mob replaced the old system of law and order, and then the Bolsheviks came in to lend it a gloss of structure. Crime became a class issue, where mundane criminals went free while class enemies were targeted for the most brutal repression on the flimsiest grounds:
Since the police and the old criminal courts had virtually disappeared, there was a common feeling that the only way to deal with the problem of crime was by mob trials in the street.
…
As the socioeconomic crisis deepened, and the popular belief developed that the burzhoois were responsible for it, so these mob trials began to assume an overtly class nature. They became a weapon in the war against privilege, focusing less on petty thieves from the urban poor and much more on merchants and shopkeepers, factory owners and employers, army officers, former tsarist officials and other figures of superordinate authority.
The Bolsheviks gave institutional form to the mob trials through the new People’s Courts, where ‘revolutionary justice’ was summarily administered in all criminal cases. The old criminal justice system, with its formal rules of law, was abolished as a relic of the ‘bourgeois order’.
…
The sessions of the People’s Courts were little more than formalized mob trials.
…
[R]obbers — and sometimes even murderers — of the rich were often given only a very light sentence, or even acquitted altogether, if they pleaded poverty as the cause of their crime. The looting of the looters had been legalized and, in the process, law as such abolished: there was only lawlessness.
Lenin had always been insistent that the legal system should be used as a weapon of mass terror against the bourgeoisie. The system of mob law which evolved through the Peoples Courts gave him that weapon of terror. [Figes, A People’s Tragedy, p. 533-4]
Reading about the Bolshevik system, it becomes much easier to understand events in our own time. In South Carolina, Army sergeant Jonathan Pentland has been charged with assault for shoving a black man on the sidewalk. The facts of the case overwhelmingly favor Pentland. The man he shoved had a history of harassing the women of the neighborhood, and Pentland was stepping in to stop just such a case of harassment.
But the facts of the case are nothing compared to the facts of the participants. Pentland is white, and he therefore represents a figure of authority in the minds of the underclass. This makes him a second-class citizen in 2021. His every action is presumptively racist and to be punished with maximum viciousness. Not only is he facing criminal charges, but he’s under investigation by the Army and DoJ, he was condemned by his superiors, and police let a mob surround and vandalize his home. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, a far worse assault on an elderly Asian man ended in no charges at all, because the attacker was from one of the left’s more privileged races.
It’s a strategy Cheka officer Martin Latsis would understand well:
[Do not] look for evidence as proof that the accused has acted or spoken against the Soviets. First you must ask him to what class he belongs, what his social origin is, his education and profession. These are the questions that must determine the fate of the accused. That is the meaning of the Red Terror. [Alpha History]
Crucially, from their oppressive beginnings, the Bolsheviks only grew more fanatical and more violent over time. The decentralized wave of mob justice and plunder gave way to a more centralized and ruthless campaign to exterminate enemies of the regime.
“We must put an end once and for all to the papist-Quaker babble about the sanctity of human life,” said Trotsky, one of the chief apostles of the so-called “Red Terror.”
The chief catalyst of the Terror was Fanny Kaplan’s attempted assassination of Lenin in August 1918. The Bolsheviks, always prone to paranoia, reacted to that attack with the rage of a berserker. They immediately announced the revival of the death penalty, which had been abolished after the overthrow of the tsar. Hundreds of political opponents were shot immediately, and orders went out across the country for the Cheka to round up hostages and shoot them in response to the slightest opposition.
As the Terror spread, the torments grew more creative:
Each local Cheka had its own speciality. In Kharkov they went in for the ‘glove trick’ — burning the victim’s hands in boiling water until the blistered skin could be peeled off: this left the victims with raw and bleeding hands and their torturers with ‘human gloves’. The Tsaritsyn Cheka sawed its victims’ bones in half. In Voronezh they rolled their naked victims in nail-studded barrels. In Armavir they crushed their skulls by tightening a leather strap with an iron bolt around their head. In Kiev they affixed a cage with rats to the victim’s torso and heated it so that the enraged rats ate their way through the victim’s guts in an effort to escape. In Odessa they chained their victims to planks and pushed them slowly into a furnace or a tank of boiling water. A favourite winter torture was to pour water on the naked victims until they became living ice statues. Many Chekas preferred psychological forms of torture. One had the victims led off to what they thought was their execution, only to find that a blank was fired at them. Another had the victims buried alive, or kept in a coffin with a corpse. [Figes, A People’s Tragedy, p. 646]
The press played in integral role in radicalizing the masses and justifying the Terror. “Only rivers of blood can atone for the blood of Lenin,” cried one paper. Pravda announced that “the time has come for us to crush the bourgeoisie or be crushed by it.” It sounds ghoulish to us, but then again, our own papers run headlines like this:
The Reds were initially radicalized by the sense of being under threat. But once their full depravity was unleashed, it crucially did not start to moderate simply because they were winning. At the end of the Russian Civil War, thousands of soldiers and officers in the White Army surrendered after receiving a promise of amnesty. Once they were rounded up, all of them were shot. The next three decades of the Soviet regime brought one round after another of purges, famines, de-kulakization, and terror.
Lenin’s Red Terror carries important lessons for America in 2021.
Every time the terror in America seems to have peaked, it gets worse.
In 2017, people lost their jobs for attending the Charlottesville march. It didn’t matter if they engaged in any violence or broke any laws. Merely being there was enough.
Many normal Americans shrugged.
“It was some racist march anyway,” thought most conservatives. “They should have known better than to go.”
But of course, it didn’t stop there. Throughout the Trump administration, it became acceptable to target people for pettier and pettier offenses: Anonymous posts online, leaked emails, decade-old articles (or decade-old tweets), attending conferences with the wrong people.
April 2021 has brought us to a new low. In Minnesota, Derek Chauvin is going to prison, likely for decades, for using a routine policing method to subdue a man twice his size who was resisting arrest. In Virginia, a police officer’s twenty-year career has ended in termination after he sent a $25 anonymous donation to the defense fund of Kyle Rittenhouse.
Lt. William Kelly was placed on administrative duty Friday, April 16, after reports were made that he donated and expressed support for the actions of Rittenhouse, who is accused of killing two people and injuring another during a Wisconsin protest in August 2020.
Norfolk Police Chief Larry Boone said Lt. Kelly violated city and department policies by donating money to Rittenhouse’s defense fund.
“I have reviewed the results of the internal investigation involving Lt. William Kelly. Chief Larry Boone and I have concluded Lt. Kelly’s actions are in violation of city and departmental policies. His egregious comments erode the trust between the Norfolk Police Department and those they are sworn to serve. The City of Norfolk has a standard of behavior for all employees, and we will hold staff accountable,” City Manager Chip Filer said. [NBC12]
Before Joe Biden took office, one of the lies told to get Middle America to accept him was that Biden would allow America to “calm down.” One piece in Slate was typical:
Joe Biden will make a difference. Things will be better. And sooner than you may think.
I am sure of this. I am sure of this the way that I am sure that kindness matters, that violence causes pain, that American democracy will prevail, regardless of the hurdles that it must repeatedly surmount. I am sure of this the way that I am sure an object in motion remains in motion, until something interferes to still it. Biden will be that stilling force. … The violence and unrest, the hatred and division that have bloodied this country since Donald Trump took office in January 2017, are an inevitable consequence of this man and the infectiousness of his beliefs, which he spread in roars across stadiums and in capital letters on social media. It spread person to person, mouth to mouth, hovering in the air, invisible and deadly. [Slate]
After Derek Chauvin conviction, Fox’s Greg Gutfeld sarcastically invoked the cowardly stance of many who welcomed Chauvin going to prison even if he was innocent because this would magically calm down the left and spare the country further riots.
Greg Gutfeld: “I’m glad [Chauvin] was found guilty on all charges, even if he might not be guilty of all charges. I am glad that he is guilty of all charges because I want a verdict that keeps this country from going up in flames.” (Note the groans from his Fox News colleagues.) pic.twitter.com/DulsFEMwcO
Such thinking is not just morally repugnant, it is stupid. Mere hours after the Derek Chauvin verdict came down, the left began fomenting a new outrage. This time, the target was the Columbus police officer who shot and killed Ma’Khia Bryant to stop her from stabbing another girl.
The Biden Administration eagerly racialized the matter, with press secretary Jen Psaki suggesting the officer, motivated by racism, had executed a “child.”
Basketball star Lebron James ogreishly tweeted “YOU’RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY” with a photo of the hero cop.
The left will not be placated by handing it victories. They are on a crusade, and as long as they are not stopped they will only become more extreme, more vengeful, and more dangerous.
Cancel culture is only the prelude to the rape, torture, and murder of the American people by a resentful underclass goaded on by a parasitic globalist ruling class.
Why are there so many similarities between the Bolsheviks of old and the radical left of today? If there’s one constant in the 230 years since the French Revolution, it’s that extreme left-wing movements can’t deliver on their promises. There’s a reason online leftists have to retreat to the embarrassing anthem that “real Communism has never been tried.”
When left-wing movements start to fail, they become paranoid. Unable to accept the shortcomings of their ideology, they hunt for wreckers, saboteurs, spies, and traitors, any scapegoat that can be used to avoid admitting that their policies are the root of failure.
That’s just as true of today’s left as it is of their intellectual forebears. Despite uprooting every part of American life and spending trillions of dollars, liberalism has totally failed to abolish inequality in America. Instead of bringing universal prosperity, liberalism has produced homeless hellscapes, catastrophic public schools, gutted neighborhoods, and fragmented families. Finding the causes within liberalism is unthinkable. Again and again, big-city governments, private colleges, elite newspapers, and left-wing non-profits have been convulsed by witch hunts to root out “sexism” and “systemic racism.” Decades-old statements and stray words are sufficient proof to end a career, and sometimes not even that is needed. Rather than accept the reality that black Americans are more likely to commit crimes than other groups, liberals have declared war on the police. They would rather send good police to prison and subject millions of Americans to criminal terror than admit to a truth that is right in front of them.
But the second reason why the left constantly escalates its terrorism is more basic: Keeping power. Marx’s colleague Friedrich Engels wrote that “Terror is the needless cruelties perpetrated by terrified men.” The left is already inclined toward cruelty by disposition, but once frightened at the prospect of actual defeat, they go into a frenzy. For the Bolsheviks, it was the attempted murder of Lenin and the Russian Civil War. For the Globalist American Empire, it was the election of Donald Trump. Rather than accept an outcome that might bring about their demise, the empire struck back.
What will the future of America look like? Hopefully, it will never get as horrific as it did under past failing liberal states. But this regime is already one that will denounce a police officer for saving someone’s life. This is a regime that tries to imprison a teenager for life for defending himself while trying to protect his community from a rioting mob. This is a regime that foments war in Ukraine to avoid admitting it lost an election. This is a regime that takes children from their parents so they can be put on hormone pills and have their genitals mutilated.
This regime will never show mercy of its own free will. It will grow more and more tyrannical, and more and more extreme, until it stops or until it collapses. The worst of the terror is yet to come.
U.S. employers posted a record number of available jobs in June, data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed Monday.
There were 10.1 million job openings on the last business day of June, according to the BLS. As well, the government revised up the previous month’s figure from 9.2 million to 9,483,0000.
Economists had forecast around 9.3 million openings.
Hires rose to 6.7 million. The quits rate rose to 2.7 percent. A rising quits rate is typically interpreted as a sign of strength for the labor market, demonstrating that workers believe they can find better jobs.
Professional and business services posted 227,000 openings. Retail trade posted 133,0000. Accommodations and food services had 121,000 openings.
Repeated attempts to obtain public 911 records related to medical emergencies at the Manhattan Planned Parenthood have been ignored or declined by city officials.
As pro-life supporters looked on, a woman suffered a serious medical emergency on July 30, 2021, at the Manhattan Planned Parenthood, located at 26 Bleecker Street in New York City.
This is the 32nd known abortion-related emergency documented at this Planned Parenthood facility in just the past five years.
Photographs of a black woman as she was brought out of the Planned Parenthood facility on a gurney and loaded into a Mount Sinai Hospital ambulance were provided to Operation Rescue by Kathryn Jean Lopez, editor-at-large of National Review. Lopez has been joining the pro-life presence at the Manhattan Planned Parenthood and has referenced her often-heartbreaking experiences there in numerous columns.
“Even though ambulance visits to the Manhattan Planned Parenthood have become all too common, we cannot afford to become desensitized to the human tragedy each one of these abortion emergencies represent,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “Each time an ambulance arrives at an abortion facility, it represents a dead child and a wounded, traumatized mother. The effects of these tragedies reverberate through families and eventually throughout all of society. These are avoidable tragedies that are essentially sanctioned by the City and State of New York.”
According to Lopez, the ambulance arrived at the Manhattan Planned Parenthood shortly before 3:00 p.m. Her photos show the ambulance at the main entrance of the facility where EMTs emerged pushing a gurney carrying a woman appearing to be in pain, who was soon loaded into the ambulance for transport, presumably to the Mount Sinai Hospital emergency room.
Repeated attempts to obtain public 911 records related to medical emergencies at the Manhattan Planned Parenthood have been ignored or declined by city officials.
Until earlier this year, the Manhattan Planned Parenthood was known as the Margaret Sanger Center Planned Parenthood after the organization’s founder, who famously embraced a racist eugenics ideology.
Planned Parenthood dropped Sanger’s name from their flagship abortion center after over 300 employees signed and publicized a letter accusing New York Planned Parenthood CEO Laura McQuade of “systemic racism, pay inequity, and lack of upward mobility for Black staff,” abusive behavior, and financial malfeasance. That scandal forced McQuade’s resignation.
The Manhattan Planned Parenthood is a high-volume abortion facility that — despite the McQuade scandal — targets poor urban women of color. It is a well-known abortion training site for the Kenneth J. Ryan Residency Training Program in Abortion and Family Planning run by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York.
The Ryan abortion training program is an affiliate of the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health based at the University of California San Francisco and is housed at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. The Bixby Center, which promotes abortion internationally, is heavily funded by known globalists who embrace a worldwide depopulation agenda such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation among many others. It is also funded by several U.S. governmental organizations, including the National Institutes of Health, which uses federal tax money to advance abortion in the U.S. and abroad.
An Arizona Senator is pushing to have the 2020 Presidential election results decertified following the results of the audit.
WND said Senator Wendy Rogers launched a website for the decertification of the election results following the “display of evidence” from the recently concluded audit, which is still pending the release of its official report.
The senator’s website contains a photo of former President Donald Trump and a petition “to decertify the election.” The website disclosed that it was created through the funding of the senator, and also highlighted statements made by Trump that reinforces Roger’s agenda of decertification. Rogers announced the petition in her Twitter account last August 5.
“President Trump knows I am fighting hard for election integrity, which is why he quoted me twice in the same week. If you agree with me and President Trump that we must recall our electors and decertify the 2020 election, add your name and let’s get this done!” Rogers stressed in the website.
Last month, Rogers revealed intentions that she “will be fighting, fighting, fighting” for the decertification of President Joe Biden’s votes based on the results of the Arizona forensic audit that warrants it “is absolutely imperative.”
“We have to finish the audit, we have to hold the Maricopa County supervisors accountable to include possibly sending them to jail. There is already enough information to justify this,” Rogers announced.
We are up to 50k signatures. We need 1 million minimum. Help me get there. We must show that we have support for decertification. Sign: https://t.co/VgClJjWTwn
Rogers has been announcing the number of petitions her website have garnered through her Twitter account. She said on August 7 that she already has 50,000 signatures and would need a million. Three days after launching the petition, Rogers then said that the website has already collected 87,000 signature and, sadly, the “high demand” has led the website to crash.
“We are up to 50k signatures. We need 1 million minimum. Help me get there. We must show that we have support for decertification,” Rogers revealed.
“87k signatures now. Marching to 1 million. Sign,” she added afterwards.

The auditors who conducted the audit in Maricopa County announced through Arizona Senate President Karen Fann on July 28 that they have already finished counting the ballots and will be releasing a report after analyzing the data they have collected from it.
“The physical tabulation of the ballots are complete and are being returned to Maricopa County tomorrow,” Fann announced.
The audit was accomplished through three series of recounts. The first was by the Cyber Ninja auditing team who completed 2.1 million ballots last June. The second was conducted by the Maricopa County officials that resulted to a mismatch. Then finally by a team supervised by Randy Pullen, the former Arizona Republican Party Chair.
The auditing experienced several “blocks” before it finally was completed. In the months during the audit, several discrepancies were reported such as the voting machines’ entire database being deleted by county officials and access to the router used during the elections not being provided to the auditors, among others.
WND pointed out in its report that it wasn’t made clear if there would be a possibility of overturning election results once the audit has revealed that fraud actually took place or that the results themselves are “found to be fraudulent.” The media outlet stressed that is an “entirely new territory” that remains to be answered.
Rogers revealed in her campaign website that although “there won’t likely be a national call for this,” the petition intends “to send a clear message” that they are “not confident with election results.”
“Although there won’t likely be a national call for this, Rogers and other Arizona Republicans in Arizona as well as her supporters want to send a clear message. They are not confident in the election process and want things to be better and to be assured there is not fraud ever again. Just a couple of days ago, there was so much demand for Rogers’ website they had to upgrade the servers to keep traffic flowing,” the website statement read.
National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins said the United States should adopt more COVID-19 vaccine mandates and said he supports private entities requiring the shots.
Collins, when asked about mandates during a Sunday interview, said that “I think we ought to use every public health tool we can when people are dying.”
“Well, that’s [an] obviously hot topic for me as a nonpolitical person, as a physician, as a scientist,” Collins told ABC News’ “This Week.” “The compelling case for vaccines for everybody is right there in front of you. Just look at the data. Certainly, I celebrate when I see businesses decide that they’re going to mandate that for their employees.”
His remarks come in the backdrop of large corporations and New York City imposing more stringent vaccine requirements in recent days. President Joe Biden, too, last month said that employees who are not vaccinated either must do so or face routine COVID-19 testing.
Collins praised Biden’s announcement on federal government workers needing to get vaccinated, claiming that getting routine testing would possibly push some of the employees into getting the shots.
“I am glad to see the president insisting that we go forward requiring vaccinations or, if people are unwilling to do that, then regular testing at least once or twice a week, which will be very inconvenient,” he said on Sunday.
Last week, meanwhile, Collins drew criticism after he suggested in another interview that fully vaccinated parents should wear masks in their own homes if unvaccinated children are present. Later on Twitter, he walked back his comments and said his message was incorrect.
“Let me clarify the masking message that I garbled on this morning [on CNN],” he wrote in a tweet on Aug. 3. “Vaccinated parents who live in communities with high COVID transmission rates should mask when out in public indoor settings to minimize risks to their unvaccinated kids. No need to mask at home.”
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced around the same time that restaurants, theaters, and gyms will require inoculation documentation as part of the city’s “Key to NYC Pass,” which launches Aug. 16. A spokesperson for the city’s Department of Health told The Epoch Times that after an evaluation period, other businesses may be targeted by the mandate as well.
Vaccine passports, in recent days, have been praised by top federal officials, including Biden, as a way to get people vaccinated. However, critics including the American Civil Liberties Union have said such systems would imperil individual liberty and the right to privacy.
(Baptist Press) According to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, at least $2.7 million from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has gone to support a project at the University of Pittsburgh that includes the possible removal of organs and tissue from pre-born babies who are still alive.
An Aug. 3 press release from Judicial Watch and The Center for Medical Progress uncovered public records from the National Institutes of Health (a part of HHS) related to “government-sponsored fetal experimentation” that focused on minimizing the amount of time aborted fetal organs go without blood flow.
The goal of the project, according to the document, is “to generate an inventory of genitourinary tissue throughout normal human development” that will “develop a pipeline for the acquisition, quality control and distribution of human genitourinary samples.”
The samples to be collected, the university said, would be gathered “throughout development (6-42 weeks gestation).”
In its application for the grant, the university set quotas of 50 percent for white patients and 50 percent for minorities, 25 percent of which would come from Black women. CMP noted that Allegheny County, the major metropolitan area around Pittsburgh, is 80 percent white and only 13 percent black.
A representative for the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission called the findings “disturbing” and “horrific.”
“Once again, the conscience of our nation should be pierced,” said Elizabeth Graham, ERLC vice president of operations and life initiatives. “For years, Christians and other pro-life voices have pleaded with policy makers to protect the lives of the most vulnerable. We should not be a society that tolerates the harvesting of organs from born-alive infants of any race, for any reason or under any circumstance.
“Every aspect of this investigation should be reviewed by lawmakers who must not waste a single moment in ensuring taxpayer resources aren’t used for these heinous acts and outlaw them from ever occurring again.”
CMP submitted a FOIA request a little over a year ago, and said it only received the documents after enlisting attorneys from Judicial Watch. The grant itself was awarded to the university in June 2019.
In its application, Pitt cites more than 18 years of experience in collecting body parts from aborted babies as well as minimizing ischemia time.
The National Institutes for Health classifies warm ischemia time as “the time a tissue, organ or body part remains at body temperature after its blood supply has been reduced or cut off but before it is cooled or reconnected to a blood supply.”
According to the document shared by Judicial Watch, the application stated, “We record the warm ischemic time on our samples and take steps to keep it at a minimum to ensure the highest quality biological specimens. We get feedback from our users and utilize this feedback to tailor our collection processes on a case-by-case basis to maximize the needs of investigators.”
The Center for Medical Progress called this an admission of taking organs from babies as they still lived and breathed.
“If the fetus’ heartbeat and blood circulation continue in a labor induced abortion for harvesting organs, it means the fetus is being delivered while still alive and the cause of death is the removal of the organs,” it asserted in a statement.
On Tuesday (Aug. 3), CMP founder David Daleiden described the findings as “like an episode of American Horror Story. … People are outraged by such disregard for the lives of the vulnerable. Law enforcement and public officials should act immediately to bring the next Kermit Gosnell to justice under the law.”
David Seldin, assistant vice chancellor for news at the University of Pittsburg, told Fox News that researchers had “no part in any decisions as to timing, method or procedures used to terminate the pregnancy.”
The Center for Medical Progress gained notoriety in 2015 when a series of undercover videos claimed to show Planned Parenthood representatives in discussions over trading body parts from aborted babies. Daleiden and his associate, Sandra Merritt, were subsequently charged with recording the meetings illegally and under false pretenses.
When Daleiden’s videos were seized during a raid in April 2016, he claimed it was due to the close relationship between Planned Parenthood and then-California Attorney General (now U.S. Vice President) Kamala Harris. A few months later federal charges filed by Planned Parenthood were dropped against Daleiden and Merritt, but in March 2017 then-California AG Xavier Becerra (now secretary of Health and Human Services in the Biden administration) charged them with 15 felony counts each. In June of that year, a court dismissed all but two of the charges.
Planned Parenthood would file another suit against CMP and in November 2019 was awarded $2.2 million by a federal jury in San Francisco on grounds related to the recording acts, but not to defamation. In December 2020, another judgement ordered Daleiden and associates to pay Planned Parenthood $13.6 million in legal fees. Both cases are under appeal.
“Regardless of what any court decides, the videos of Planned Parenthood speak for themselves,” said then-ERLC President Russell Moore after the November 2019 ruling. “They reveal an organization whose profit structure is built on violence against women and their unborn children.”
The byline argues “that Gen Z has experienced the worst of late-stage American capitalism and needs to embrace an alternative.”
Generation Z, or “Gen Z,” is the generation born after 1996.
The author, Calla Walsh, says “I’m a 17-year-old socialist.”
“As the youngest delegate at this week’s Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) National Convention,” Walsh goes on to say, “I urge members of my generation to mobilize toward building a socialist future.”
The author wants her generation to “shift the tide in favor of socialism.”
“We need to be activated in a socialist way,” says Walsh.
“We are counting on millennials, Gen Z, even Boomers to guide us into the socialist movement so we can work together to empower the working class.”
NetWorthSpot says Teen Vogue could be worth more than $54 million under capitalism.
The future belongs to young people, but there is no future for us under capitalism.
NetWorthSpot approximates that Teen Vogue has a net worth of $13.71 million. “However, some folks have approximated that Teen Vogue is in fact worth a lot more than that. It’s likely Teen Vogue is worth more than $54.85 million when our experts think of earnings sources beyond Instagram.”
Teen Vogue is owned by Advance Publications, an American media company owned by the descendants of S.I. Newhouse Sr., Donald Newhouse and S.I. Newhouse Jr., headquartered in Staten Island, New York.
Forbes ranked Advance Publications as the 221st largest privately held company in the U.S. as of November 2019.
Crain’sranked Advance Publications the 4th largest private company in the New York area in 2012.
CONSERVATIVE PUSHBACK:
The Media Research Center (MRC)—an American content analysis group—characterizes the Teen Vogue op-ed as “indoctrination of our youth.”
This indoctrination “begins with media sites like Teen Vogue that are now publishing articles with the purpose of encouraging young adults to become part of Democratic Socialists of America,” comments MRC.
“It sounds absolutely ridiculous to those who have studied the history of socialism and how it quickly morphs into communist dictatorship and fascism.”
MRC points out the irony of the fact that Gen Z has “grown up in a time of peace for the United States” and are “the most prosperous and privileged people in the world” precisely “because of capitalism.”
“The GDP per capita for the largest economies in the world quickly reveals the superiority of capitalism in promoting wealth for all citizens,” MRC adds.
MRC argues that Walsh’s claim that the “climate crisis” is a threat to humanity is absurd because “[i]n truth, the deaths due to natural disasters has not only decreased in the US over the past 100 years, it has also decreased around the world. In 1900, there were around 1.2 millions deaths caused by all natural disasters, in 2019 that number was 11,719.”
Pushing back against Walsh’s claim that socialism creates a more “livable” world. MRC notes that non-capitalist nations such as “Pakistan, North Korea, Russia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and China all still have slavery.”
“Capitalism is and has always been the most fair economic system to exist. If Gen Z is really to be the ‘saviors’ of this country then we must educate ourselves on history and stop falling for the socialist lies.”

These Key Similarities Between Lenin’s Red Terror and America’s Woke Culture Reveal Left’s Blueprint For Complete Takeover
Thursday marked the 151st birthday of the most successful revolutionary of all time, Vladimir Lenin. With only a tiny cabal of diehard followers, Lenin seized control of the world’s largest country and inaugurated a reign of darkness and terror that lasted seventy years.
There are many lessons to draw from the blood-soaked life of Lenin. But one of the most important is this takeaway for the terrifying “woke” moment America is living through right now. Things are not going to naturally get better. Things will not organically “calm down.” Until there is a fundamental reset of America’s treasonous leadership class, today’s unthinkable witch hunt is merely a prelude of an even darker globalist terror to come.
The Bolsheviks were indisputably more murderous than today’s left (if only because they lived in a more violent age), but even they had to ramp up how much terror they engaged in.
At the beginning of their rule, in fact, the Bolsheviks were even willing to run a fair election. Just days after the October Revolution, they held the preplanned elections for Russia’s Constituent Assembly, anticipating an easy win. To their surprise, they were easily defeated by the Socialist Revolutionaries. And so, like any good leftists, they simply nullified the election and dissolved the Constituent Assembly. Since it was 100 years ago and the Bolsheviks were well-armed, it was enough to simply announce that the Constituent Assembly was closed. Today, they might concoct a more elaborate narrative, perhaps that the Socialist Revolutionaries engaged in “collusion” with a foreign power.
Once they had taken power, the Bolsheviks didn’t immediately launch Stalin-style mass purges. Instead, the Bolsheviks started off in a way modern Americans would find disturbingly familiar: By legitimizing criminal anarchy and co-opting the justice system.
In their earliest days, the Bolsheviks framed their political abuses as a “war on privilege.” In a tactic eerily reminiscent of 2020’s riots, the Bolsheviks of 1918 encouraged a decentralized campaign by the masses to plunder and crush class enemies.
This class-based economic warfare was coupled with a revolution in criminal justice. First, the mob replaced the old system of law and order, and then the Bolsheviks came in to lend it a gloss of structure. Crime became a class issue, where mundane criminals went free while class enemies were targeted for the most brutal repression on the flimsiest grounds:
Reading about the Bolshevik system, it becomes much easier to understand events in our own time. In South Carolina, Army sergeant Jonathan Pentland has been charged with assault for shoving a black man on the sidewalk. The facts of the case overwhelmingly favor Pentland. The man he shoved had a history of harassing the women of the neighborhood, and Pentland was stepping in to stop just such a case of harassment.
But the facts of the case are nothing compared to the facts of the participants. Pentland is white, and he therefore represents a figure of authority in the minds of the underclass. This makes him a second-class citizen in 2021. His every action is presumptively racist and to be punished with maximum viciousness. Not only is he facing criminal charges, but he’s under investigation by the Army and DoJ, he was condemned by his superiors, and police let a mob surround and vandalize his home. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, a far worse assault on an elderly Asian man ended in no charges at all, because the attacker was from one of the left’s more privileged races.
It’s a strategy Cheka officer Martin Latsis would understand well:
Crucially, from their oppressive beginnings, the Bolsheviks only grew more fanatical and more violent over time. The decentralized wave of mob justice and plunder gave way to a more centralized and ruthless campaign to exterminate enemies of the regime.
“We must put an end once and for all to the papist-Quaker babble about the sanctity of human life,” said Trotsky, one of the chief apostles of the so-called “Red Terror.”
The chief catalyst of the Terror was Fanny Kaplan’s attempted assassination of Lenin in August 1918. The Bolsheviks, always prone to paranoia, reacted to that attack with the rage of a berserker. They immediately announced the revival of the death penalty, which had been abolished after the overthrow of the tsar. Hundreds of political opponents were shot immediately, and orders went out across the country for the Cheka to round up hostages and shoot them in response to the slightest opposition.
As the Terror spread, the torments grew more creative:
The press played in integral role in radicalizing the masses and justifying the Terror. “Only rivers of blood can atone for the blood of Lenin,” cried one paper. Pravda announced that “the time has come for us to crush the bourgeoisie or be crushed by it.” It sounds ghoulish to us, but then again, our own papers run headlines like this:
The Reds were initially radicalized by the sense of being under threat. But once their full depravity was unleashed, it crucially did not start to moderate simply because they were winning. At the end of the Russian Civil War, thousands of soldiers and officers in the White Army surrendered after receiving a promise of amnesty. Once they were rounded up, all of them were shot. The next three decades of the Soviet regime brought one round after another of purges, famines, de-kulakization, and terror.
Lenin’s Red Terror carries important lessons for America in 2021.
Every time the terror in America seems to have peaked, it gets worse.
In 2017, people lost their jobs for attending the Charlottesville march. It didn’t matter if they engaged in any violence or broke any laws. Merely being there was enough.
Many normal Americans shrugged.
“It was some racist march anyway,” thought most conservatives. “They should have known better than to go.”
But of course, it didn’t stop there. Throughout the Trump administration, it became acceptable to target people for pettier and pettier offenses: Anonymous posts online, leaked emails, decade-old articles (or decade-old tweets), attending conferences with the wrong people.
April 2021 has brought us to a new low. In Minnesota, Derek Chauvin is going to prison, likely for decades, for using a routine policing method to subdue a man twice his size who was resisting arrest. In Virginia, a police officer’s twenty-year career has ended in termination after he sent a $25 anonymous donation to the defense fund of Kyle Rittenhouse.
Lt. William Kelly was placed on administrative duty Friday, April 16, after reports were made that he donated and expressed support for the actions of Rittenhouse, who is accused of killing two people and injuring another during a Wisconsin protest in August 2020.
Norfolk Police Chief Larry Boone said Lt. Kelly violated city and department policies by donating money to Rittenhouse’s defense fund.
“I have reviewed the results of the internal investigation involving Lt. William Kelly. Chief Larry Boone and I have concluded Lt. Kelly’s actions are in violation of city and departmental policies. His egregious comments erode the trust between the Norfolk Police Department and those they are sworn to serve. The City of Norfolk has a standard of behavior for all employees, and we will hold staff accountable,” City Manager Chip Filer said. [NBC12]
Before Joe Biden took office, one of the lies told to get Middle America to accept him was that Biden would allow America to “calm down.” One piece in Slate was typical:
After Derek Chauvin conviction, Fox’s Greg Gutfeld sarcastically invoked the cowardly stance of many who welcomed Chauvin going to prison even if he was innocent because this would magically calm down the left and spare the country further riots.
Such thinking is not just morally repugnant, it is stupid. Mere hours after the Derek Chauvin verdict came down, the left began fomenting a new outrage. This time, the target was the Columbus police officer who shot and killed Ma’Khia Bryant to stop her from stabbing another girl.
The Biden Administration eagerly racialized the matter, with press secretary Jen Psaki suggesting the officer, motivated by racism, had executed a “child.”
Basketball star Lebron James ogreishly tweeted “YOU’RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY” with a photo of the hero cop.
The left will not be placated by handing it victories. They are on a crusade, and as long as they are not stopped they will only become more extreme, more vengeful, and more dangerous.
Cancel culture is only the prelude to the rape, torture, and murder of the American people by a resentful underclass goaded on by a parasitic globalist ruling class.
Why are there so many similarities between the Bolsheviks of old and the radical left of today? If there’s one constant in the 230 years since the French Revolution, it’s that extreme left-wing movements can’t deliver on their promises. There’s a reason online leftists have to retreat to the embarrassing anthem that “real Communism has never been tried.”
When left-wing movements start to fail, they become paranoid. Unable to accept the shortcomings of their ideology, they hunt for wreckers, saboteurs, spies, and traitors, any scapegoat that can be used to avoid admitting that their policies are the root of failure.
That’s just as true of today’s left as it is of their intellectual forebears. Despite uprooting every part of American life and spending trillions of dollars, liberalism has totally failed to abolish inequality in America. Instead of bringing universal prosperity, liberalism has produced homeless hellscapes, catastrophic public schools, gutted neighborhoods, and fragmented families. Finding the causes within liberalism is unthinkable. Again and again, big-city governments, private colleges, elite newspapers, and left-wing non-profits have been convulsed by witch hunts to root out “sexism” and “systemic racism.” Decades-old statements and stray words are sufficient proof to end a career, and sometimes not even that is needed. Rather than accept the reality that black Americans are more likely to commit crimes than other groups, liberals have declared war on the police. They would rather send good police to prison and subject millions of Americans to criminal terror than admit to a truth that is right in front of them.
But the second reason why the left constantly escalates its terrorism is more basic: Keeping power. Marx’s colleague Friedrich Engels wrote that “Terror is the needless cruelties perpetrated by terrified men.” The left is already inclined toward cruelty by disposition, but once frightened at the prospect of actual defeat, they go into a frenzy. For the Bolsheviks, it was the attempted murder of Lenin and the Russian Civil War. For the Globalist American Empire, it was the election of Donald Trump. Rather than accept an outcome that might bring about their demise, the empire struck back.
What will the future of America look like? Hopefully, it will never get as horrific as it did under past failing liberal states. But this regime is already one that will denounce a police officer for saving someone’s life. This is a regime that tries to imprison a teenager for life for defending himself while trying to protect his community from a rioting mob. This is a regime that foments war in Ukraine to avoid admitting it lost an election. This is a regime that takes children from their parents so they can be put on hormone pills and have their genitals mutilated.
This regime will never show mercy of its own free will. It will grow more and more tyrannical, and more and more extreme, until it stops or until it collapses. The worst of the terror is yet to come.
