Joe Rogan: "I am a conspiracy theorist, yes. Most conspiracy theories turn out to be true... They’ve done a really good job of making it seem like you’re a fool if you believe in conspiracy theories."

Elon Musk: "They changed the definition of asylum to be an economic asylum. Asylum is supposed to mean that if you go back to your country, you'll get killed. They changed the definition of asylum to be you will have a decreased standard of living..."

How to ban communism, globalism and all their derivatives.

Simple.

Treat them the same way we treat every ideology that turned mass murder into a political program.

Communism is not an “opinion.”
It is not a cute student aesthetic.
It is not compassion.
It is not justice.

It is the deadliest political experiment in modern history.

USSR.
China.
Cambodia.
North Korea.
Ethiopia.
Eastern Europe.
Vietnam.
Cuba.
Afghanistan.
Everywhere the same pattern:
Promise equality.

Destroy property.
Destroy religion.
Destroy the family.
Destroy free speech.
Create a party-state.
Create secret police.
Create camps.
Create famine.
Kill millions.

The Black Book of Communism estimated more than 94 million deaths under communist regimes, including roughly 65 million in China, 20 million in the Soviet Union, 2 million in Cambodia, 2 million in North Korea, 1.7 million in Ethiopia, and more across Vietnam, Eastern Europe, Afghanistan and Latin America. Other institutions, including the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, use the figure of 100+ million victims. Estimates vary by methodology, but the moral conclusion does not. (Wikipedia)

The Great Leap Forward alone is commonly estimated in the tens of millions of deaths, with scholarly ranges often around 15 to 55 million depending on methodology. (Wikipedia)

The Holodomor killed millions of Ukrainians; one demographic study cited by the University of Minnesota puts the figure around 3.9 million for 1932–33. (College of Liberal Arts)

Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge killed around a quarter of its population.

This is not an accident.
This is the product.

So here is the rule:

If your party openly defends communism, Marxist revolution, violent class war, dictatorship of the proletariat, abolition of private property, or one-party rule, it should not be treated as a normal democratic party.

It should be treated as a political organization promoting a totalitarian ideology.

Same standard as fascism.
Same standard as Nazism.
Same standard as every movement that turns human beings into material for an ideological machine.

You can debate taxes.
You can debate welfare.
You can debate regulation.

But you should not be allowed to build a party around an ideology that has already produced gulags, famines, purges, mass surveillance, slave labor camps and 100 million corpses.

Communism should be displayed in schools, museums and public memory for what it was:

A totalitarian death cult.

Not “idealism.”
Not “social justice.”
Not “theory.”

A crime scene.

Ban communist parties.
Ban revolutionary Marxist organizations.
Ban political movements that call for the destruction of constitutional liberty.

And teach every child the names of the victims.

Because a civilization that forgets the bodies buried under utopia will eventually build the same prison again.

黃智賢當年對哥哥說，你要從政，我們要有三個約定：
一. 不要貪污
二. 不要說仇恨的話
三. 不要讓祖先蒙羞

黃偉哲被賣台賊藍白陣營抹黑到，連綠營支持者都覺得他沒做什麼事。
一直到現在，大家才知道，黃偉哲默默在做大家最有感但卻看不見的事。

所以說認知作戰有多可怕？昭然若揭！

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

I'm coming from France, from Europe — and for god's sake, don't do that.

I've already watched this movie. I know exactly how it ends. Let me run the tape for you.

We started at the same line. In 2008 the EU economy was actually bigger than the US — about 110% of American GDP. By 2023 it was down to 67%. Over that window the US grew 87%. Europe grew 13.5%.

Per capita it's uglier. European income was ~76% of American income in 2008. Today it's 50%. France — Descartes, the Concorde, the nuclear program — now has a GDP per capita below Arkansas, the 48th poorest US state. Germany sits around Oklahoma. Of the 50 largest tech companies on Earth, four are European. Four. No Nvidia, no Google, no SpaceX, no OpenAI. What we built instead is a regulator that writes a 383-page report explaining why we have no champions — and then implements 10% of its own recommendations.

This isn't bad luck. It's a system working exactly as designed.

Hayek explained the mechanism in 1944 and Europe didn't listen. The Road to Serfdom isn't a slogan, it's a machine. You start with the nicest intentions — fairness, equality, security. To deliver them the state has to plan. To plan, it has to override prices, contracts, individual choice. And when the plan fails — it always fails, because no central planner holds the knowledge that millions of free actors hold — the lesson is never "planning was the error." The lesson is "we didn't plan hard enough." So it takes more power. Then more. Every failure becomes the alibi for the next seizure. Socialism never arrives at its destination. It just never stops paving the road — and the road only goes one place.

Europe didn't go full Soviet. It went soft. It chose comfort over greatness, redistribution over creation, safety over risk — and the result is a continent that is rich, gorgeous, and quietly dying. Managed decline with excellent cheese. The wealthiest museum on Earth.

Now the part Americans need to hear, because you think you're immune. You're not.

Peter Thiel keeps warning about the Antichrist, and people imagine a movie villain. Wrong. The Antichrist never arrives promising war and tyranny. He arrives promising peace and safety. He's the universal manager who will protect you from every risk — climate, inequality, AI, each other — in exchange for one small thing: that nobody is ever again permitted to do anything new, anything dangerous, anything great. He's one-world stagnation enforced by fear. The final committee.

Socialism is his vehicle. It's the ideology that says risk is theft, that excellence is unfair, that the cure for every problem is more central control. It's the perfect on-ramp to a planet-wide regime of safety and stasis.

And here are the stakes nobody says out loud: America is the last engine. The frontier of compute, the people still trying to make us multi-planetary, the builders who'd rather escape the trap than manage it — almost all American. The product of the one place left on Earth that still rewards builders over bureaucrats. If America picks the European path, there is no second America to bail the species out. No frontier left. The engine of human progress switches off — not in a century, in a few years.

Why am I this certain? Because socialism doesn't merely slow you down. It rots everything it touches. It rots the economy — see the numbers. It rots incentives: punish building and reward grievance, and your best people stop building. It rots the culture: a society that resents winners eventually produces none. It rots the spirit: you trade the dignity of agency for the comfort of dependence and you call it progress.

I'm not throwing rocks from the outside. I'm writing from inside the wreckage, watching the most talented continent in human history vote, year after year, for its own anesthesia.

America — you are the control group. You're the thing the rest of us point to when we need to remember what's still possible. Do not become us.

For god's sake. Don't do that.

做爛英國還敢哭？施凱爾狼狽下台！工黨壓倒性勝選為何崩盤？

[🇺🇸RealRobert🇺🇸 @Real_RobN]

Here it is:

Joe Rogan goes into a state of shock:

“The Social Security number in the United States is used as a de facto national ID number—to get paid and to vote.”

Elon Musk exposes the real reason Democrats never removed the dead from the Social Security rolls: those identities were being used to send fraudulent payments to illegal aliens.

Eliminating those names would cut off payments across every other benefit program they’re funneling to illegal aliens.

@elonmusk: “What they forgot to mention is they’re getting fraudulent payments from every other government program. And that’s why the Dems were so opposed to turning off, to declaring someone dead who was dead, because it would stop all the other fraud from happening.”

“Widespread fraud—hundreds of billions of dollars—it’s mind-blowing.”

——————

Illegal aliens were issued Social Security numbers by the Biden–Harris terrorist administration:

• 270,425 in 2021
• 590,193 in 2022
• 964,163 in 2023
• 2,095,247 in 2024—on their way out the door. Yet they oppose national voter ID.

📝 By the way—they’re also linking ballots to the dead within their corrupt, filthy voter rolls. If you were around in 2020, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

El método del Islam siempre es el mismo.

-Construcción de mezquitas.
-Creación de sociedades paralelas.
-Multiplicación rápida.
-Papel de víctima (minoría perseguida).
-Resistencia al Estado de derecho en el país de acogida.
-Explotación de lagunas legales.
-Introducción de la Sharia.
-Toma del poder.

Afganistán solía ser budista, Pakistán hindú y Líbano cristiano. Hoy todos son musulmanes.

Si continuamos por este camino, Europa caerá.

🚨 California Passed "The Stop Nick Shirley Act":
This week the California Assembly passed AB 2624. This bill will criminalize investigative journalism involving the immigrant population. It would have made it illegal to expose the Somali "Learing" center if it were in California or the Armenian hospice fraud in LA if they claimed "reasonable fear."

The bill protects "immigration support services providers," which means services provided to immigrants, including health care. It has been proven that millions, potentially billions, of dollars in fraud has taken place in "immigrant support services” which includes nonprofits and NGOs the state funds.

California is trying to make it harder to expose fraud and scare individuals from investigating it as they could be forced and sued to remove the video, forced to pay attorney fees, and ordered to pay a minimum of $4,000 in damages.

This bill was created by Mia Bonta (the attorney general's wife). She has made 4 separate versions of this bill because each version violates the 1st Amendment and is extremely unconstitutional.

Plain and simple, California politicians need the fraud to continue because they depend on the fraud to push their agendas. END ALL THE FRAUD.

『今天早上發生了一件讓我非常不安的事情。

我收到通知，有人修改了我的維基百科頁面。

他改了什麼？

他把描述那個在我哥哥替家人購物時，刺穿他脖子並將他殺害的人的「恐怖分子（Terrorist）」一詞，改成了「巴勒斯坦人（Palestinian）」。

他還做了其他修改，但這是最令人作嘔的一項。

一個毫無理由殺害四個孩子父親的恐怖分子，而這名「編輯者」竟然把「恐怖分子」這個詞刪掉？

太瘋狂了。

更可怕的是，我的維基百科頁面因為太常遭到惡意修改，維基百科創辦人後來不得不把頁面鎖定，只允許非常資深的編輯者進行修改。

也就是說，這個人不是普通網友，而是一名資深維基編輯。這反而更令人擔憂。

那他還改了哪些東西？

事實上，只要你搜尋任何以色列城鎮或城市的維基百科頁面，你都會看到那些地方被描述成「巴勒斯坦土地」。

我是認真的——幾乎整個以色列都是如此。

舉個例子，如果你打開特拉維夫（Tel Aviv）的維基百科頁面，你猜「Palestinian（巴勒斯坦）」這個詞出現了幾次？

31 次！

我知道很多人都在談維基百科如何變得反以色列，但我不確定大家是否真正了解情況有多嚴重。

但今天早上這次修改——把殺害我哥哥的人的「恐怖分子」稱呼刪掉——已經惡劣到另一個層次。

如果你有興趣，這是我的頁面：

https://t.co/sHvhou2EcX…

這件事真的沒有人能處理嗎？

維基百科如今已經變成反以色列宣傳的平台。』
