In 1946, President Truman’s administration explored purchasing Greenland because of its importance to American defense.
Eighty years later, President Trump has announced a new Arctic security agreement. The geography hasn’t changed. The strategic competition has. https://t.co/prF6VGn2Bi
Corruption killed the censor. Freedom walked in through the door he left open. 🇬🇧
For most of history nothing was printed in England without permission. Every book, every pamphlet, every page, read first by a man with a stamp. If he didn't like it, it didn't exist.
Then in 1695 the law came up for renewal and the Commons looked at it. Not because they believed in freedom. Because the censor was taking bribes, 1 company had the monopoly, the printing was rubbish and the books cost a fortune. So they killed the law. Then they went home.
And censorship in England simply stopped. Within 7 years London had its first daily newspaper. Then coffee houses full of people arguing about it. Then the rest of the world copying it. France took another 100 years.
Whatever you're reading this on, you're reading it because of that vote.
They teach you Magna Carta. Not why your morning paper never needed permission. A crooked censor did more for your freedom than a hundred speeches. Imagine what honest people could do on purpose.
That's what Proud Of Us is for. Nobody asked permission to print the truth. We don't ask permission to tell it. No sponsors. No ads. No agenda. No censor either. Just people like you, paying for the research, the films and the free lessons for schools. That vote is the reason a channel like this can exist at all. Nobody had to let us.
They freed the press by accident. We use it to tell Britain its own story. Nobody had to let us. No sponsor, no state, no ads. It runs on people like you. Every film comes with a free lesson for any school that wants one.
If you can, stand with us: https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf
If you can't, send this to someone who's never read a newspaper.
Teach yourself and your kids our glorious history: https://t.co/kfMKMUQrmn
Be Part Of Us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧
@FreddyLA7 You would love it, if you went to a game at Alabama. If you can go to a night game and get there early enough so you can go to what is called the quad where everyone is tailgating.
@data_republican Many are not there for our interest but the interest of the money that put them there or the party leaders. The problem is partially ours because we keep putting the same people in power because we have been told they are the only ones who can fix the problem. Then they get rich
Never forget that the Biden White House KICKED OUT African Journalist Simon Ateba for Asking Questions..
Not one member of the corporate press called it out as an "attack on free speech".
They stayed silent.
Where was CNN?
Where was MSNBC?
Where was Politico?
Ateba sued and was allowed back into the briefing room. Where Karine Jean Pierre stuck him in the back and never called on him.
Legacy media doesn’t care about free speech or journalism they only care about their power to lie, smear and manipulate.
THE LIE ABOUT PALESTINE (CONTINUED)
As discussed in the previous piece, 1979 was a year that forever changed the Middle East and our world.
In fact, 1979 was the seminal touchstone that accelerated the growth of corrupt governments in the region and the terror organizations they created and continue to arm and fund.
The ultimate shot in the modern Arab war against Israel and the West began when Iran expelled the Western-friendly Shah of Iran and ascended Ayatollah Khomeini into power.
Within days, Iranian forces (under the guise of being “college students”) stormed the US Embassy in Tehran, seizing the property and kidnapping 66 American diplomats hostage for 444 days. Sound familiar? Islamofascists use innocent humans as shields in their ungodly schemes.
Jimmy Carter was the president at the time and launched a failed attempt at a hostage rescue that resulted in the deaths of eight American servicemen and the destruction of U.S. military aircraft and helicopters. It’s referred to as “Desert One” and forever changed the way our military looks at special operations. It's still being studied today. Ultimately, it would usher Carter out the door as a one-term president.
Enter President Ronald Reagan.
Iran’s terror arm is deep, with many tentacles.
Just days later after the American Embassy seizure in Tehran, Islamic fundamentalists seized the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the holiest site in Islam. The leader of the insurgency called for the return of pure Islamic law to the Middle East and the denouncing of modernization.
Saudi Arabia’s rulers quickly acquiesced to the Wahhabist demands and instituted archaic societal changes. Iran’s Khomeini simultaneously blamed the U.S. for the mosque takeover, further inflaming the Muslim world.
Finally, that year Iraq’s Saddam Hussein rose to power and began his murderous regime that ultimately led to the wars Desert Storm One and Two, and his eventual death.
1979, in a nutshell, introduced unparalleled state-sponsored terror to the Arab world and beyond and is the root of the death and inhumanity we see unfolding in Israel, Gaza, and elsewhere.
Motivated by Ayatollah Khomeini’s rule, and with the help of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, the brutal terror organization Hezbollah (the Party of God) was born in 1982.
Their charter was and is the ultimate destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews. America’s presence in the region and support for Israel was also a target, and they got right to work.
In 1983, the newly-created Hezbollah drove trucks loaded with explosives up to the U.S. Marine Barracks gate in Beirut, Lebanon killing 241 Marines. That same year, Hezbollah bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, killing 63 people, including 17 Americans.
On the evening of the Marine Barracks bombing, the Air Force put me on alert to fly to Lebanon and bring home the bodies of our Marines. I was fully expecting that mission only to be alerted shortly thereafter to fly to Grenada on the first day of the invasion ordered by Reagan to prevent Soviet expansion in the Caribbean.
Since 2003 Hezbollah has aligned itself with Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and Hamas. Hezbollah perhaps is the greatest military presence in Israel’s neighborhood, due almost solely to the funding and support of Iran.
Its sister terror organization, Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement), was created in 1987 by the Muslim Brotherhood with significant funding and support from Iraq’s Saddam Hussein. Hamas’s avowed mission is to liberate “Palestine” from its Israeli “oppressors.”
Hamas has a resume of extreme violence, suicide bombings of Israeli citizens, and whatever terror is required to achieve its long-term goals of exterminating Jews and destroying the state of Israel. The attacks of October 7, 2023, were exactly that: Israel’s 9/11.
The epicenter? Iran and the American left.
@RapidResponse47 My question is why did they go to Bernie Sanders for help? Of all the people in Washington he is the one person I would NOT go to for help with a potential problem such as AI. He’s not smart enough to understand a possible problem or have a solution! WHY??
@LLBiggers Excellent post! I have often wondered why we never hear a climate activist or scientist talking about the amount of carbon that was put into the atmosphere during WWI and WWII. Very little controls on emissions on manufacturing and the fire bombing in Germany and Japan? Nuclear?
Progressives' new “degrowth” goal requires “changes … similar to those that came with the … pandemic.”
Really.
What they want would RUIN lives.
“60 million people were thrown into extreme poverty in that one year alone,” explains @johanknorberg.
