Pentagon Tracking ‘Truth About BLM’ Web Searches—Labeled ‘White Supremacist’

U.S. Department of Defense now monitoring alleged “extremism” among Americans’ internet searches.

QUICK FACTS:
  • The Pentagon is working with a U.K.-based contractor called Moonshot CVE (Countering Violent Extremism) to track Americans’ web searches that it describes as indicators of interest in or engagement with White supremacism, according to Fox News and Defense One.
  • The project aims to uncover networks of domestic extremists within the military.
  • Moonshot says it has “monitored a list of almost 1,600 indicators of interest in or engagement with White supremacism.”
  • It is “unclear why the Pentagon chose a U.K.-based company for monitoring purported U.S. extremism,” according to Fox, neither Moonshot nor the Defense Department responding to a request for comment.
WHAT QUALIFIES AS ‘WHITE EXTREMISM’:
  • Searching the phrase “the truth about black lives matter” is cited as one example of extremism, indicating a belief “that the BLM movement has nefarious motives.” Moonshot says the idea that BLM might have nefarious motives “is a disinformation narrative perpetuated by White supremacist groups to weaponize anti-BLM sentiment.” Because it has been used to suggest the BLM movement “is in line with the burning and looting of Antifa,” the phrase is “[not] innocuous” but dangerous. “These sources echo White supremacist disinformation narratives alleging that BLM protesters are trying to ‘overthrow the republic’ and ‘harm American citizens in a Marxist coup,’ as a means of delegitimizing it,” says Moonshot.
  • The above search is considered as extreme as phrases such as “George Floyd deserved to die,” “Jews will not replace us” and “the truth about black lives matter.”
  • Labelling BLM as “Marxist” also indicates extremism, even though BLM co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors says she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists.”
ABOUT MOONSHOT:
  • Moonshot has ties to the Obama Foundation, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and George Soros’ Open Foundation.
  • The Center for Security Policy raised concerns about the company in an article last month in which it highlighted how Moonshot CEO Vidhya Ramalingam served as a leader in the Obama Foundation’s Europe program, according to Fox.
TUCKER CARLSON’S COVERAGE OF MOONSHOT:
  • Editorial director of The Daily Caller appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show discussing Moonshot’s contract with the Pentagon, noting that there is “a sustained move within the Biden government to label everything as domestic extremism.”
  • “It’s completely out of control,” said Coglianese, adding that “[a]sking questions, now extremism. Free inquiry, now extremism. It’s getting worse.”
  • Carlson said that Joe Biden has already “gone much farther than any other president, however, to politicize every federal agency. And that includes, terrifyingly, the military.” “Biden has directed the defense department, the department that is supposed to work on keeping us safe from foreign threats, to instead turns its attention on American citizens,” Carlson went on to say.
  • “Notice he never defined white supremacy,” Carlson said. “No one ever has. There is no actual definition for it. So it can apply to everyone who didn’t vote for Joe Biden. That’s why it is terrifying, that’s why you should resist it.”

Federal Judge Blocks Arkansas From Implementing Near Total Abortion Ban

An Obama-era federal judge blocked Arkansas on Tuesday from implementing strict legislation that would have greatly restricted abortion access in the state.

In her court order issuing a preliminary injunction against the law, U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker, appointed in 2012 by then-President Barack Obama, described the bill — set to take effect July 28 — as “categorically unconstitutional.”

If implemented, the legislation would have banned all abortions in Arkansas, including in cases of rape and incest. The only exception would have been for rare instances when the life of the mother was in danger.

Baker argued the plaintiffs — the left-leaning American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider — were “likely to succeed on the merits” of their claim that the Arkansas legislation blocks access to abortion before the age of viability outside the womb and, as such, is unconstitutional based upon precedent established by the Supreme Court.

“Defendants do not make any argument to the contrary and concede that plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits,” the judge explained. “Instead, defendants argue that [Roe v. Wade] and [Planned Parenthood v. Casey] were wrongly decided and that there is no constitutional right to abortion. As a federal district court, this Court ‘is bound by the Supreme Court’s decisions in Casey.’ Accordingly, the Act is categorically unconstitutional, and plaintiffs have demonstrated they are likely to succeed on the merits.”

“Defendants make no argument as to whether or not plaintiffs or plaintiffs’ patients will experience irreparable harm,” she continued. “Since the record at this stage of the proceedings indicates that women seeking abortions in Arkansas face an imminent threat to their constitutional rights, the court concludes that they will suffer irreparable harm without injunctive relief.”

UMass Memorial Health Center refuses kidney transplant for unvaccinated patient

A 37-year-old father of three is being denied a life-saving medical treatment by UMass Memorial Health Center(UMHC) in Worcester because he refuses to get “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).

Bernard LaPierre, a Type 1 diabetic, was told back in 2019 that his kidneys are failing and that he needs a transplant in order to live. He was put on a waiting list at the time after suffering a major reaction from a pharmaceutical drug he was prescribed that inflicted even worse damage to his kidneys.

This all occurred before the Chinese Virus was unveiled, of course, which meant that the only stipulation for Bernard to get his needed transplant was to show up on the day of the surgery. Now that Tony Fauci, Bill Gates and the other medical terrorists have destroyed the world with Fauci Flu fear, however, Bernard is now being told that he must permanently alter his DNA with a Wuhan Flu shot or else be left to die.

Bernard’s wife Meagan has already completed all of the needed tests for donating one of her own kidneys to her husband, reporting that “so far, everything looks good.” She had also confirmed with UMHC on three separate occasions that a Fauci Flu shot would not be required because all patients have the legal right to make their own medical choices concerning injection.

The story suddenly changed, however, when the administration at UMHC decided on a whim to mandate Chinese Disease injections for all patients. A nurse identified as “Linda S.” reportedly told Bernard on June 25 that he would need to get the Big Pharma shot in order to receive the transplant, which left him “understandably … upset.”

“While we believe he is a good candidate for transplant, we want him to have the vaccinations recommended (Hep A, Hep B, Prevnar, pneumovax),” she wrote.

One July 9, an infectious disease specialist named “Mary Dawn T. Co” added that injections for the Chinese Virus would also be required in order for Bernard’s life to be saved.

Test vote on Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure bill fails Senate amid GOP objections

Legislation needed 60 votes to break a filibuster and proceed to the roughly $1 trillion bill.

Senate Republicans on Wednesday mounted a filibuster against a motion to debate a more than  $1 trillion infrastructure bill that President Biden brokered with a bipartisan group of senators, dealing a setback for efforts to fund new roads, bridges and broadband improvements. 

The procedural vote in the Senate needed 60 votes to succeed but fell short at 49, with Republicans complaining Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., rushed to a vote on a bill that wasn’t quite ready. 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called the test vote a “stunt” earlier Wednesday and correctly predicted it would “fail.”

“Around here, we typically write the bills before we vote on them,” McConnell, R-Ky., said. “That’s the custom.”

But McConnell left the door open for another vote once the bill text is ready. “A failed cloture vote does not mean no forever,” he said.

All 50 Republicans voted to block debate on the bipartisan bill, and the full 50-member Democratic caucus voted in favor of proceeding. But Schumer changed his vote at the last minute to side with the GOP giving him the option to bring the measure up for another vote at a later date. 

Schumer had rejected pleas from Republicans such as Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine., to postpone the vote until next week to give bipartisan negotiators more time to shore up the final details of the package. 

He insisted on moving forward with the vote, explaining it was merely a way to get the legislative process started and senators would still have more time to work out the final language afterward.

The Fallacy Of Climate Financial Risk

The idea that climate change poses a threat to the financial system is absurd, not least because everyone already knows that global warming is happening and that fossil fuels are being phased out. The new push for climate-related financial regulation is not really about risk; it is about a political agenda.

In the United States, the Federal Reserve, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Department of the Treasury are gearing up to incorporate climate policy into US financial regulation, following even more audacious steps in Europe. The justification is that “climate risk” poses a danger to the financial system. But that statement is absurd. Financial regulation is being used to smuggle in climate policies that otherwise would be rejected as unpopular or ineffective.

“Climate” means the probability distribution of the weather – the range of potential weather conditions and events, together with their associated probabilities. “Risk” means the unexpected, not changes that everyone knows are underway. And “systemic financial risk” means the possibility that the entire financial system will melt down, as nearly happened in 2008. It does not mean that someone somewhere might lose money because some asset price falls, though central bankers are swiftly enlarging their purview in that direction.

In plain language, then, a “climate risk to the financial system” means a sudden, unexpected, large, and widespread change in the probability distribution of the weather, sufficient to cause losses that blow through equity and long-term debt cushions, provoking a system-wide run on short-term debt. This means the five- or at most ten-year horizon over which regulators can begin to assess the risks on financial institutions’ balance sheets. Loans for 2100 have not been made yet.

Such an event lies outside any climate science. Hurricanes, heat waves, droughts, and fires have never come close to causing systemic financial crises, and there is no scientifically validated possibility that their frequency and severity will change so drastically to alter this fact in the next ten years. Our modern, diversified, industrialized, service-oriented economy is not that affected by weather – even by headline-making events. Businesses and people are still moving from the cold Rust Belt to hot and hurricane-prone Texas and Florida.

If regulators are worried even-handedly about out-of-the-box risks that endanger the financial system, the list should include wars, pandemics, cyberattacks, sovereign-debt crises, political meltdowns, and even asteroid strikes. All but the latter are more likely than climate risk. And if we are worried about flood and fire costs, perhaps we should stop subsidizing building and rebuilding in flood and fire-prone areas.

Climate regulatory risk is slightly more plausible. Environmental regulators could turn out to be so incompetent that they damage the economy to the point of creating a systemic run. But that scenario seems far-fetched even to me. Again though, if the question is regulatory risk, then even-handed regulators should demand a wider recognition of all political and regulatory risks. Between the Biden administration’s novel interpretations of antitrust law, the previous administration’s trade policies, and the pervasive political desire to “break up big tech,” there is no shortage of regulatory danger.

To be sure, it is not impossible that some terrible climate-related event in the next ten years can provoke a systemic run, though nothing in current science or economics describes such an event. But if that is the fear, the only logical way to protect the financial system is by dramatically raising the amount of equity capital, which protects the financial system against any kind of risk. Risk measurement and technocratic regulation of climate investments, by definition, cannot protect against unknown unknowns or un-modeled “tipping points.”

Hasbro mandating “critical race theory” for all employees, claims white kids are privileged and inherently racist

Hasbro, a popular toy manufacturer, is mandating all its employees to accept “critical race theory” and apply it throughout the company. The company’s new training manual suggests that white kids are privileged, biased and inherently racist. The material demeans “white kids” and judges them on the color of their skin, imparting racist guilt on children as young as three and four years old.

A Hasbro whistleblower named David Johnson sat down with James O’Keefe of Project Veritas to speak about the company’s racist training propaganda. He said the training is intended to influence employee behavior, to promote “racial equity” in marketing messages, packaging and toy manufacturing.

Hasbro whistleblower unveils critical race theory indoctrination of all employees

The whistleblower reveals that Hasbro is using a critical race theory curriculum developed by “Conscious Kids.” This Marxist organization claims to be an “education, research, and policy organization dedicated to equity and promoting healthy racial identity development in youth.” A closer inspection of the material shows that “Conscious Kids” is stereotyping children with white skin, forcing them to feel shame for their heritage. The material profiles children based on the color of their skin and accuses white children of inherent racism. The material is blatantly racist itself and psychologically abusive toward children. “Conscious Kids” says their mission is to “support organizations, families and educators in taking action to disrupt racism in kids.” Hasbro turns out to be one of the organizations promoting this Marxist, race-baiting propaganda.

Johnson said he was forced to take part in the new training exercise, where the “Conscious Kids” co-founders, Katie Ishizuka and Ramón Stephens, lectured Hasbro employees about infants’ inherent racism and how white privilege is pervasive in toddlers.

“I decided to come to Project Veritas because I oppose the indoctrination of children that they wanted to push, and I felt that more people needed to know about it,” Johnson said. “They want to introduce children into racial bias at an early age before they’re really able to understand what race and racism is.”

Johnson got some of the training on film. In one clip, a Conscious Kid co-founder, Katie Ishizuka, explained that children under five are prone to racist behavior and must be re-educated. “By three to six months, babies are beginning to notice and already express preference by race,” Ishizuka said. She instructed Hasbro employees to pay attention to “babies as young as two” who are “already using race to reason about people’s behaviors.” She said kids start to racially exclude playmates at daycare and on the playground, selecting friends based on race. Ishizuka warned that three-year-olds are inherently using stereotypes and often use “racist language intentionally at this age.”

She was especially concerned with “white children at this age” who “report explicit or overt negative attitudes towards people of color.” She concludes that white kids show a strong and consistent “pro-white, anti-black bias” by the age of four.

Johnson commented on the recording: “It’s absurd to just state as fact that at two years old, children are going to be racist and using race to reason about who they’re going to play with.”

U.S. Women’s Soccer Team Takes Stunning Loss After Kneeling For BLM At Olympic Opener

The U.S. women’s soccer team took a devastating 3-0 loss to Sweden early Wednesday morning in their Tokyo Olympic opener, breaking their 44-game winning streak.

All 22 players on Team USA took a knee in solidarity with the radical leftist group Black Lives Matter before the game, a major point of contention with U.S. fans.

U.S. came into the Tokyo Games with the number one ranking in the world. Sweden is ranked fifth in the world and notably knocked out Team USA on penalty kicks in the 2016 Olympics in the quarterfinals.

The two teams last paired off in April, which resulted in a 1-1 draw, the only game the U.S. women had not won since January 2019.

The Associated Press broke down the women’s Wednesday loss:

Blackstenius’ header into the far corner off a cross from Sofia Jakobsson in the 26th minute gave Sweden the first-half lead.

The United States came out stale, with its best chance of the opening half coming in the final moments when Rose Lavelle’s shot hit the post. Coach Vlatko Andonovski made changes for the second half, subbing in Carli Lloyd for Alex Morgan and Julie Ertz for Sam Mewis.

But Blackstenius scored again in the 54th minute, beating goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, as the Americans continued to struggle. Lina Hurtig then scored in the 72nd.

As noted by Yahoo!Sports, athletes at the Tokyo Olympics were given space to protest before games and events. Team USA knelt before their kickoff, just as players on Sweden’s women’s team did:

The U.S. women’s national team and other soccer teams knelt before kickoff of their Olympic openers on Wednesday, the first demonstrations under slightly relaxed restrictions on protest at the Games. 

The demonstrations were pre-planned, as they have been before various international soccer matches for over a year now as collective statements against racism and other forms of discrimination. 

“For us it really feels right to stand up for human rights,” said Swedish defender Amanda Ilestedt. “It was a communication with the U.S. team before, so for us it feels good to do that and it is something we stand for as a team.”

Women’s soccers players from Great Britain and New Zealand kneeled, too, just as Team USA and the Swedish, according to Reuters.

White House Is ‘Refusing to Acknowledge’ the ‘Medical Reality’ That Democrats Created a ‘Super-Spreader Event’ in DC

When Texas Democrats fled their home state for Washington, D.C., they framed themselves as earning a page in the history books for their defense of voting rights.

Instead, they might be remembered as the individuals responsible for one of America’s highest-profile super spreader events, according to one doctor.

Last week, Texas Democrats were faced with a special legislative session, during which they were supposed to consider an election integrity bill drafted by Republicans that liberals decided was unfair. A group of Texas Democratic lawmakers concluded that rather than stay in Texas to debate the bill, they would leave the state.

The tactic ensured that no quorum exists in the Texas state House, meaning the bill is sidelined for as long as the Democrats bop around Capitol Hill and their hotel.

But the gimmick came with an unexpected fellow traveler — the coronavirus.

To date, the virus has infected at least six Democrats whose giddy, maskless flight aboard a crowded jet was well chronicled, coming as it did at a time when other air travelers were required to wear masks, according to Fox News.

The Texans may have also spread the virus to a White House aide and a staffer of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

For this feat, Dr. Marc Siegel used the term “super-spreader” to describe the Democrats’ star-crossed attempt to foil Republicans.

“A lot of people didn’t get sick because they were vaccinated,” he told Fox.

“This is a super-spreader event with less spread because of the vaccine — that’s the glass half full,” Siegel said.

Without the vaccine, all of the D.C. Democrats who met the runaway Texans at a reception last week would have been at risk of infection, he added.

But Siegel stressed that despite what he called “word games” Democrats are using to downplay the consequences of their actions, they still in fact spread the virus.

“They’re creating divisiveness by refusing to acknowledge a medical reality,” he said concerning the White House’s reluctance to use the term “super-spreader.”

That hesitancy was not shared by others.

Elder Sues Calif. Secy. Of State After He Was Excluded From Recall Ballot Against Gov. Newsom

Radio host Larry Elder is striking back at California’s secretary of state for neglecting to include him on the list of gubernatorial candidates for the special election ballot to recall Democrat Gavin Newsom.

On Tuesday, the prominent conservative talk radio host announced the suit against Shirley Weber. The complaint asserted that Weber “neglected her duty” when releasing a list of 41 candidates in the race and not including Elder over supposed missing paperwork. In a video released on Twitter, Elder stated he’s the target of “dangerous and unconstitutional” political games as he has complied with all requirements for candidacy.
