The Wisconsin Assembly Campaign and Elections Committees voted to launch an investigation into what is being called a universal mail-in ballot scheme. One America’s Jack Posobiec has this report.
Huxley Still Has It Right
The dystopian novel “Brave New World” was written in 1931 by visionary Aldous Huxley.
In his book, the author describes what life is like in a society that is under complete domination of a group of hardened autocrats.
It’s a tyrannical tale with a twist, however.
Members of this society are kept in a state of perpetual bliss, despite having every aspect of their lives from birth to death controlled by a power-drunk ruling class.
It’s a society in which power is concentrated in the hands of a few, communication of information is meticulously managed, and endless distractions prevent people from thinking, reasoning, or imagining.
A drug is routinely dispensed to the masses (soma), so as to facilitate the exile of perceptible sensations of pain, stress, or anxiety.
Unhappiness is avoided through excessive indulgences in materialism, sexual promiscuity, and altered states of mind.
A synthetic religion substitutes for authentic faith.
Technology is God, and as such is worshiped and adored (“Ford’s in his flivver”). Pre-conditioned slaves delight in their own enslavement.
Enduring human connections are reflexively thought of as repulsive.
The optimum relationship status is summed up in seven short words of the state maxim: “Every one belongs to every one else.”
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, recently appeared on Prager U’s “The Book Club” to discuss Huxley’s “Brave New World.”
In an engaging discussion with host Michael Knowles, the senator pointed out that slogans of the government “sound wonderful but they’re all about destroying self, destroying who you are.”
Suez Canal Crisis Sends Shipping Lines Scrambling for Alternatives
Shipping companies rerouted vessels, refused to take on new customers and forecast long delays—and longer-term port congestion around the world—raising the global trade and economic stakes of the grounding of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal.
Shipping executives said even if the vessel is removed imminently, a backlog of ships waiting to pass through the canal would linger for days, and diversions of cargo could wreak havoc on port traffic around the world for weeks, upsetting the usually carefully orchestrated management of the world’s containers. The canal connects the Mediterranean and Red Seas and accounts for as much as 13% of seaborne trade and about 10% of maritime shipments of oil.
Allianz, the German insurance giant, estimated the blockage could reduce global trade by as much as $10 billion a week. It figured for every week the canal was immobilized, it could shave 0.2 to 0.4 percentage points off annual trade growth.
Caroline Becquart, senior vice president at Mediterranean Shipping Co., one of the world’s largest container lines, said the blockage “is going to result in one of the biggest disruptions to global trade in recent years.” Amid super-tight capacity that started building late last year and has lingered through this year, the accident means that companies should expect “a constriction in shipping capacity and equipment.”
‘They are devouring our sons’: Moms of gender-confused boys unite, detail their anguish
Shattered mothers are raising the alarm about how transgender ideology is ravaging their troubled teenage and young adult sons who are caught in the jaws of a gender identity crisis.
Some of their boys are now taking cross-sex hormones, like estrogen and spironolactone, and are on the path to losing their fertility as they put themselves at significant risk of a variety of diseases and medical complications.
Nine mothers whom The Christian Post interviewed in February spoke on condition of anonymity, many out of fear that if their identities are revealed state social services agencies might remove their children from their custody.
Names, locations and identifying details in this report have been changed to ensure their anonymity. Many of their sons are highly intelligent and academically gifted, while others are on the autism spectrum or have mental health challenges like ADHD.
The politically and religiously diverse group of mothers, who hail from everywhere in between the deep-blue San Francisco Bay area to the ruby-red deep South, stress that all they’re trying to do is help their sons overcome their distress. But they have few places to turn.
