Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.
Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.
Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”
The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.
He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.
RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.
The 'neurodiversity' ideological movement in psychiatry is nothing more than gender ideology writ large across all of mental illness. 'Neurodiversity' at its core is about liberating one from being considered in a 'pathological' state. Its origins are queer theory (of course).
Having been called a liar by Anthony Fauci for saying that "not one of the 72 vaccines mandated for children has ever been safety tested", RFK Jr. sued Fauci.
After a year of stonewalling, Fauci's lawyers admitted that RFK Jr. had been right all along.
"There's no downstream liability, there's no front-end safety testing... and there's no marketing and advertising costs, because the federal government is ordering 78 million school kids to take that vaccine every year."
"What better product could you have? And so there was a gold rush to add all these new vaccines to the schedule... because if you get onto that schedule, it's a billion dollars a year for your company."
"So we got all of these new vaccines, 72 shots, 16 vaccines... And that year, 1989, we saw an explosion in chronic disease in American children... ADHD, sleep disorders, language delays, ASD, autism, Tourette's syndrome, ticks, narcolepsy."
"Autism went from one in 10,000 in my generation... to one in every 34 kids today."
The Japanese railway privatization of 1987 stands as one of the most devastating defeats ever dealt to statist transportation mythology. The government split the bloated Japan National Railways into seven regional companies, sold them off, and watched private ownership transform a bankruptcy-bound disaster into the world's most efficient rail system.
JNR hemorrhaged money for decades before privatization. By 1987, the state railway carried debt equivalent to $200 billion in today's money while delivering mediocre service plagued by strikes and inefficiency. Politicians treated it as a jobs program rather than a transportation service. The predictable result: chronic losses, deteriorating infrastructure, and customer service that reflected government monopoly arrogance.
Private ownership changed everything overnight. The new JR companies slashed operating costs by 40% within five years while dramatically improving service quality. JR East alone now generates annual profits exceeding $3 billion. These companies invest billions in cutting-edge technology, maintain punctuality rates above 99%, and operate the world's most advanced high-speed rail networks. They achieved this without a single yen of operational subsidies.
The transformation reveals a core dynamic of transportation infrastructure: private companies must satisfy customers to survive, while government monopolies need only satisfy politicians. JR companies diversified into real estate, retail, and hospitality around their stations, creating integrated profit centers that cross-subsidize rail operations. Government railways never innovate this way because bureaucrats face no market pressure to generate returns.
Meanwhile, Amtrak burns through $2 billion in annual subsidies while delivering third-world service across most routes, and European state railways require massive taxpayer bailouts every few years to stay solvent.

Student: “Central Bankers. Pedos. The Military Industrial Complex.”

Student: “I know. We really should abolish the entire thing and start over.”
@TheFP The leftist narratives were never about economics: they don’t understand economics.
What it was always about is vice: envy, jealousy, covetousness. These are the moral pillars of leftism.
Men who support women's right to things that also benefit men (abortion, contraception, sex work) but dismiss as trivial nonsense issues that benefit only women (women-only spaces, lesbian dating sites, maternal health, women's sport) are telling you clearly who they are.
Saruman: “We must join with him, Gandalf. We must join with Sauron. It would be wise, my friend.”
Gandalf: “Tell me, friend…when did Saruman the Wise abandon reason for madness?”
Never forget: "If you are the unvaccinated, you are the problem, you are the threat. It is the unvaccinated who are the problem. Period. End of story.”
The West must very soon recognize that:
1) All immigrants are not equally likely to assimilate;
2) All immigrants are not equally likely to be a net benefit to the host society;
3) All immigrants are not equally likely to be a net existential danger to the host society;
4) All cultures are not equal;
5) All religions are not equal;
6) A religion that seeks to destroy your society, civilization, religious heritage, and freedoms should not receive protection under the First Amendment;
7) You don't owe it to said religion to capitulate in the name of tolerance, compassion, and suicidal empathy;
8) Our freedoms and liberties are being used to erase our existence.
It is time to wake up. Every day that passes without the necessary auto-corrections is ensuring that our children and their children will live in a world that is astoundingly darker than anything that the West has ever known.
Have a great week.
Iranian here!
I want to thank American leftists for educating me these past few days & correcting my understanding of Iran & radical Islam
I almost trusted my own experience, my parents’ trauma, and what my family in Iran endures daily instead of your wisdom. What would I have done without your tweets & tiktoks ❤️
@LaulPatricia@sapinker ….that seems like BS. If thats the case, then why hasn’t every single person who propagated gender ideology been fully canceled, if in fact it is “common knowledge” that we’re trying to protect…?🤔?
It’s not a primal human instinct. 🙄
It’s a political tool.
