Julian Assange’s Health Is So Bad He ‘Could Die in Prison’, According to Letter from 60 Doctors

More than 60 doctors have written an open letter warning that the health of WikiLeaks’ founder, Julian Assange, 48, is so bad that he could die inside a British jail. The doctors are calling to have him transferred from Belmarsh Prison to a hospital, and have based their opinion on eyewitness accounts of his court appearance in October and a report by Nils Melzer, the United Nations special rapporteur on torture.

Sweden dropped its 2010 rape investigation against Assange, removing an obstacle to extraditing him to the US. He faces 18 charges under the Espionage Act in the US for his publication of the Iraq and Afghan War Logs. If extradited and convicted, he could be face a maximum sentence of 175 years for the “crime” of publishing material that the US government did not want the population to know.

 

More than 60 doctors have written an open letter saying they fear Julian Assange’s health is so bad that the WikiLeaks founder could die inside a top-security British jail.

The 48-year-old Australian is still fighting a US bid to extradite him from Britain on charges filed under the Espionage Act that could see him given a sentence of up to 175 years in a US prison.

In the letter to the British home secretary, Priti Patel, the doctors called for Assange to be moved from Belmarsh prison in southeast London to a university teaching hospital.

They based their assessment on “harrowing eyewitness accounts” of his 21 October court appearance in London and a 1 November report by Nils Melzer, the United Nations special rapporteur on torture.

The independent UN rights expert said Assange’s “continued exposure to arbitrariness and abuse may soon end up costing his life”.

Assange used WikiLeaks to publish classified military and diplomatic files in 2010 about US bombing campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq that proved highly embarrassing to Washington.

“We write this open letter, as medical doctors, to express our serious concerns about the physical and mental health of Julian Assange,” the doctors said in their 16-page open letter.

They said they had “concerns about Mr Assange’s fitness” to go through the full extradition hearing, which is set for February.

“Mr Assange requires urgent expert medical assessment of both his physical and psychological state of health,” the wrote.

5-Year Old Boy Was Hurled from the Balcony at Mall of America, and Fell 40 Feet to the Floor. He Is Now Walking, and Credits Angels and Jesus

Minneapolis, Minnesota: Last April, Landen Hoffman, a 5-year old boy, suffered broken bones in his arms and legs after being thrown from the third floor of the Mall of America by Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda. Young Landen did not suffer head trauma, and he is now able to walk “perfectly,” and is attending school with his twin brother. His GoFundMe page has collected over $1 million to help with his medical bills.

Emmanuel Aranda, 24, pleaded guilty to attempted homicide and was sentenced to 19 years in prison. Aranda said that he sometimes has anger issues. He has a past record of harassing patrons and causing property damage at the mall. Aranda’s mother claims her son is mentally ill and does not belong in prison. Aranda is now planning to appeal his sentence.

 

 

The 5-year-old boy who was thrown from a third-floor balcony at the Mall of America in Minnesota is now walking “perfectly,” and is giving credit to angels who caught him and to the love of Jesus.

In an update on their GoFundMe page Friday, friends of the family of Landen Hoffman noted that the young boy’s condition continues to improve, that they are working toward getting him off of some medications, that he is “walking perfectly” and that the open wound on his belly was at last scabbing over and new skin was growing.

Young Landen Hoffman was thrown 40 feet off a railing by 24-year-old Emmanuel Aranda on April 12.

He was in critical condition following the incident, having suffered from broken arms and legs. Remarkably, however, an MRI showed that he had no damage to the brain despite doctors believing that he had endured head trauma.

Aranda, who told investigators he decided to harm the boy after he went to he mall searching for someone to kill, pleaded guilty to attempted murder in June and was subsequently sentenced to 19 years in prison.

In addition to recovering physically, the 5-year-old boy is also in good spirits.

Paris: Leftist Feminists Attack Other Women For Highlighting Study Showing 52% of Male Rapists Are Migrants

A group of young women who carried signs highlighting a government study which showed 52% of Parisian rape suspects are migrants were attacked by leftist feminists during a protest in Paris. The feminists screamed at them, calling them ‘fascists’ and ‘racists’, ripped up their signs, and assaulted them until they were forced to leave. One of the young women who was bullied by the feminists said that women cannot go out in the streets in France because they are harassed by migrant men and that the foreign men are often not prosecuted for rape.

 

A group of young women highlighting a government study which showed 52 per cent of Parisian rape suspects were foreign nationals were attacked and labeled “fascists” by feminists during a protest in Paris.

Two of the young women’s signs read, “52% of the rapists are foreigners” and “Cologne, Rotherham soon Panam (French slang for Paris).”

The feminists assaulted the women, stole their signs, ripped them up and then chanted, “Feminists, not fascists” and “fascists out,” as the young women were physically intimidated and forced to leave.

“Reminder: we came to this demonstration to denounce the violence against women, and to say aloud what everyone thinks on the profile of the usual attackers … but #NousToutes do not accept all women,” declared Nemesis Nemesis, the group behind the protest.

The signs were in reference to a 2016 study conducted by France’s National Observatory on Crime and Criminal Justice Responses (ONDRP) that found 52 per cent of rape suspects in Paris were “foreign nationals,” a fact acknowledged by left-wing VICE.

The incident served as a reminder of what happened in Cologne after the mass molestation and rape of around 1200 women on New Year’s Eve 2015, predominantly by men of “Arab or North African appearance,” which feminists responded to by subsequently visiting the local migrant center and handing out flowers to migrants while apologizing for “xenophobia.”

Report: Chick-Fil-A Funded Anti-Christian SPLC, and Other Leftist Groups


Tax records show that in 2017, Chick-Fil-A , a Christian company that took a public stand against gay marriage several years ago, donated $2,500 to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a  group that has targeted Christian organizations in the past by categorizing groups that disapprove of same-sex marriage as  “hate-groups.” In 2012, shooter Floyd Corkins,  who was motivated by the SPLC, came after the Family Research Council with a semi-automatic pistol and 15 Chick-Fil-A sandwiches, planning to “kill as many as possible and smear the Chick-fil-A sandwiches in victims’ faces, and kill the guard.” He wounded the security guard who was able to disarm him. Chick-Fil-A is also funding other left-leaning organizations, that have support Planned Parenthood, abortion and LGBTQ.

In 2017, according to tax records, Chick-Fil-A donated $2,500 to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a  group that has targeted Christian organizations in the past by categorizing groups that disapprove of same-sex marriage as  “hate-groups.”

The Federalist notes:

It was the SPLC that motivated a terrorist shooter in 2012 to launch an assault on the Family Research Council with a semi-automatic pistol, 100 rounds of ammo, and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches. “Southern Poverty Law [Center] lists anti-gay groups. I found them online,” said the shooter in an interrogation video made public by the FBI, adding that his plan was to “kill as many as possible and smear the Chick-fil-A sandwiches in victims’ faces, and kill the guard.”

Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, reacted to the report from Townhall that Chick-fil-A had donated to the SPLC: “Not only has Chick-fil-A abandoned donations to Christian groups including the Salvation Army, it has donated to one of the most extreme anti-Christian groups in America. Anyone who opposes the SPLC…is slandered and slapped with the ‘extremist’ label or even worse, their ‘hate group’ designation. It’s time for Christians to find a fast food alternative to Chick-fil-A.”

Campo, California: Brazen Smugglers Cut ‘Truck-Sized’ Hole in Border Fence and Drove a Truck through It

A group of illegal immigrants breached a pre-Trump version of the border wall in California and drove a stolen truck through the hole, trying to make a ‘brazen’ break for it into the US. US border agents arrested the the driver and 15 passengers, all of whom were from Mexico, except for a man and woman from Guatemala. The border wall in Campo consists of landing mat fencing erected years ago, however, even Trump’s new fencing is not impregnable.

 

 

A group of illegal immigrants breached a pre-Trump version of the border wall in California and drove a truck through the hole, trying to make a “brazen” break for it into the U.S., agents reported Thursday.

The breach happened Wednesday afternoon when a stolen Dodge 4500 utility truck busted through the hole near Campo, California, where the border wall consists of landing mat fencing erected years ago. That’s the type of fencing the Border Patrol is trying to replace with President Trump’s more modern version.

Agents caught up to the migrants after one of them was spotted with bolt cutters trying to cut a lock on a private residence gate, and then spotted the truck that had broken through the wall. They tried to stop the truck but the driver fled.

 

A short pursuit ended with the migrants bailing out of the truck.

Agents managed to round up the driver and 15 passengers: nine Mexican males ranging in age from 15 to 53, five Mexican women from 18 to 40, and two Guatemalans, a 28-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman.

Arizona: Former Staffer for Radical Democrat Congressman Gets Just 12 Days in Jail for Attacking a Trump Supporter, Resulting in Permanent Injury

Arizona: Last year, Daniel Zaroes Brito, formerly a legislative assistant to US Representative Raul Grijalva, a Democrat, attacked Jonathan Sparks from behind, trying to grab his ‘Make America Great Again’ hat. The unprovoked attack caused Sparks to fall and break his ankle in four places, resulting in permanent damage. Brito continued the attack, punching Sparks while he was lying on the ground, calling him “Hitler” and “Nazi” until bystanders pulled Brito off of the injured Trump fan.

Last year, Daniel Zaroes Brito, former Legislative Assistant to U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), attacked a man who was wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat and waving a sign that read, “Vote Jobs, Not Mobs–Vote Republican.” The victim, Tucson resident Jonathan Sparks, suffered serious injuries in the assault.

 

Brito has now been sentenced to 12 days in the Pima County jail and three years probation.

“The assailant had jumped on to my ankle from behind,” Sparks explained last November. “So I, knowing my ankle was broken into four pieces, turned around to grab and take the hat back and my hands latched on to the hat.”

They both fell to the ground in the altercation. Through it all, Sparks recalled hearing the words, “Hitler” and “Nazi” and “Trump.” Brito then came over on top of him and “over and over again” he hit him.

Sparks spent 20 hours in the hospital and had to undergo surgery.

He mused that if the situation had been different – for instance, if he had been a black man or if he had been waving “a rainbow flag,” there would be “a sea of reporters” on the scene.

“The attack on Jonathan Sparks, a Tucson resident who was exercising his free speech rights, is part of a pattern developing on the Left where people are carrying out random acts of violence against innocent individuals simply because of their political beliefs,” said Republican Party of Arizona Chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward in a statement on Tuesday. “I fear that unless he tones down his divisive rhetoric, Rep. Grijalva’s unhinged hatred for President Trump could embolden similar future acts of violence against some of his constituents who support the president.”

Former Grijalva staffer misses court hearing, launched unprovoked attack on Trump supporter




Bombshell: Chemical Weapons Watchdog Accused of Evidence-Tampering by Its Own Inspectors in Chlorine Gas Attack Used to Justify Regime Change War in Syria

A whistleblower from the OPCW, a chemical weapons watchdog, investigated the alleged chlorine gas attack in Syria in 2018, and revealed evidence that the OPCW doctored its reports. The OPCW was under pressure from US intelligence officials to blame Syrian President Assad in order to boot him from office. The lack of nerve agents and low levels of chlorine indicate that there was no gas attack. The media is ignoring this important story while the head of the OPCW is standing by its false conclusions.

Summary by JW Williams:

Mainstream media blamed a chlorine gas attack in Douma, Syria on April 7, 2018 on Syrian President Assad, and claimed that he was responsible for killing 43 of his own citizens in the attack. Assad was victorious in Douma, and had zero motive to bomb his own people, yet both Democrats and Republicans called for his overthrow. Trump responded with limited strikes on Syria. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the international, and supposedly independent, chemical warfare watchdog, was called to investigate after the strikes.

In May, a whistleblower leaked an OPCW Engineering Assessment that contradicted its official report, which doubted that the chlorine cylinders found at the crime scene were dropped from the air, but were more likely manually placed there, signaling that it was a staged false flag event. In addition, there was no sign of nerve agents used in the alleged attack. A new whistleblower, Alex, has recently disclosed that the levels of chlorine were so low that a gas attack was improbable! He provided evidence that this information was repeatedly omitted from reports. He also said that US officials pressured the OPCW to report that Assad was responsible. But the lack of an attack removes the excuse for war.

Fernando Arias, the head of the OPCW has responded by defending its conclusion that chlorine was used in an attack in Douma. The mainstream media is ignoring and trying to cover up the whistleblower’s revelations. Tucker Carlson broke ranks with corporate media and reported the whistleblower’s findings that this attack appears to be staged for the purpose of provoking war.

From CounterPunch:

The OPCW and Douma: Chemical Weapons Watchdog Accused of Evidence-Tampering by Its Own Inspectors

Claims that President Bashar al-Assad’s forces have used chemical weapons are almost as old as the Syrian civil war itself. They have produced strong reactions, and none more so than in the case of the alleged attack in April last year on the opposition-controlled area of Douma near Damascus in which 43 people are said to have been killed by chlorine gas. The United States, Britain and France responded by launching airstrikes on targets in the Syrian capital.

Were the strikes justified? An inspector from the eight-member team sent to Douma has just come forward with disturbing allegations about the international watchdog, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which was tasked with obtaining and examining evidence.

Involved in collecting samples as well as drafting the OPCW’s interim report, he claims his evidence was suppressed and a new report was written by senior managers with assertions that contradicted his findings.

The inspector went public with his allegations at a recent all-day briefing in Brussels for people from several countries working in disarmament, international law, military operations, medicine and intelligence. They included Richard Falk, former UN special rapporteur on Palestine and Major-General John Holmes, a distinguished former commander of Britain’s special forces. The session was organised by the Courage Foundation, a New York-based fund which supports whistle-blowers. I attended as an independent reporter.

The whistle-blower gave us his name but prefers to go under the pseudonym Alex out of concern, he says, for his safety.

He is the second member of the Douma Fact-Finding Mission to have alleged that scientific evidence was suppressed. In May this year an unpublished report by Ian Henderson, a South African ballistics expert who was in charge of the mission’s engineering sub-team was leaked. The team examined two suspicious cylinders which rebels said were filled with chlorine gas. One cylinder was found on the roof of a damaged building where over two dozen bodies were photographed. The other lay on a bed on the upper floor of a nearby house below a hole in the roof. The inspectors were able to check the scene because Syrian troops drove rebel fighters out of the area a few days after the alleged gas attack.

Assessing the damage to the cylinder casings and to the roofs, the inspectors considered the hypothesis that the cylinders had been dropped from Syrian government helicopters, as the rebels claimed. All but one member of the team concurred with Henderson in concluding that there was a higher probability that the cylinders had been placed manually. Henderson did not go so far as to suggest that opposition activists on the ground had staged the incident, but this inference could be drawn. Nevertheless Henderson’s findings were not mentioned in the published OPCW report.

The staging scenario has long been promoted by the Syrian government and its Russian protectors, though without producing evidence. By contrast Henderson and the new whistleblower appear to be completely non-political scientists who worked for the OPCW for many years and would not have been sent to Douma if they had strong political views. They feel dismayed that professional conclusions have been set aside so as to favour the agenda of certain states.

Alex, the new whistleblower, said his aim in going public was not to undermine the OPCW, most of whose investigators are objective scientists, but to persuade the organisation’s leadership to allow the Douma team to put forward their findings and answer questions at the week-long annual conference of member states which starts on November 25. “Most of the Douma team felt the two reports on the incident, the Interim Report and the Final Report, were scientifically impoverished, procedurally irregular and possibly fraudulent”, he said. Behind his call for the Douma inspectors to address the next OPCW conference was the hope that thereby the watchdog would “demonstrate transparency, impartiality and independence”.

He told me “Ian and I wanted to have this issue investigated and hopefully resolved internally, rather than exposing the failings of the Organisation in public, so we exhausted every internal avenue possible including submission of all the evidence of irregular behaviour to the Office of Internal Oversight. The request for an internal investigation was refused and every other attempt to raise our concerns was stone walled. Our failed efforts to get management to listen went on over a period of nearly nine months. It was only after we realised the internal route was impossible that we decided to go public”.

Within days of rebel-supplied videos of dead children and adults in the aftermath of the alleged attack in Douma Francois DeLattre, France’s representative at the UN Security Council, said the videos and photos showed victims with “symptoms of a potent nerve agent combined with chlorine gas”.

The Douma fact-finding team quickly discovered this was wrong. Blood and other biological samples taken from alleged victims examined in Turkey (where some had fled after government forces regained control of Douma in mid-April) showed no evidence of nerve agents. Nor was there any in the surrounding buildings or vegetation in Douma. As the Interim Report, published on July 6 2018, put it: “No organophosphorus nerve agents or their degradation products were detected, either in the environmental samples or in plasma samples from the alleged casualties”.

The next sentence said “Various chlorinated organic chemicals were found”. The indirect reference to chlorine was reported in many media as proof of the use of lethal gas. According to Alex there were huge internal arguments at the OPCW before the Interim report was released. Chlorinated organic chemicals (COCs) are present in the natural environment so one crucial point in discovering what actually happened at Douma was to measure the amount in the locations where the two cylinders were found and in the other parts of the two buildings and the street outside.

As Alex put it, “if the finding of these chemicals at the alleged site is to be used as an indicator that chlorine gas was present in the atmosphere, they should at least be shown to be present at levels significantly higher than what is present in the environment already”.

But when the analysis of these key levels came back from the laboratories the results were kept with Sami Barrek, a Tunisian who was the Duma fact-finding mission’s leader. Against normal expectations they were not passed on to the inspector who was drafting the OPCW’s interim report on Douma.

The inspector did, however, have the analysis from the samples of blood, hair, and other biological data from eleven alleged victims who had gone from Douma to Turkey. In no case did the samples reveal any relevant chemicals. On this basis he wrote in his report that the signs and symptoms of victims were not consistent with poisoning from chlorine. Instead of an attack producing multiple fatalities there had been “a non chemical-related event”, it said.

The language was low-key, in part, as Alex put it, because of the tension and anxiety involved when evidence doesn’t match what it is thought that management wants to hear. But the implications of implying a non-chemical event were dramatic. Like the engineering report, it hinted that the Douma incident may have been staged by opposition activists. Alex described it as “the elephant in the room which no-one dared mention explicitly”.

Judge Rules In Favor Of Washington Man Who Had Guns Seized Over Satirical ‘Joker’ Meme

A King County judge ruled in favor of 23-year-old Charles Donnelly and ordered the state to return his legally-owned firearms to him after they were seized under red-flag laws in early October because he made jokes about violence against women on the Internet. Charles Donnelly, 23, also posted a photo of himself holding two AK-47-style rifles. Authorities in his home city of Seattle were alarmed by the posts, which included fantasies of hurting women. Donnelly claimed the posts were jokes meant for his friends. He has no criminal record, and his lawyer described the weapons seizure as an intrusion on both his First Amendment and Second Amendment rights. -GEG

A King County judge ruled in favor of 23-year-old Charles Donnelly and ordered the state to give him his firearms back after they were seized under red flag laws in early October because he made edgy jokes on the internet.

As it to be expected, the media is now furious that this memester’s out of context jokes were not enough to have him disarmed for life.

From The Independent, “Man who said ‘I will shoot any woman any time for any reason’ has confiscated guns returned by judge”:

A man who had his guns confiscated after writing on social media that he would “shoot any woman any time for any reason” has had the weapons returned to him by a judge.

Charles Donnelly, 23, also posted a photo of himself holding two AK-47-style rifles with the caption, “One ticket for Joker please”, a reference to the movie, online.

Authorities in his home city of Seattle, in the US, were so alarmed by the posts – which also included fantasies of hurting women – that they used new red flag laws to seize the 23-year-old’s weapons.

The haul included three handguns and three rifles, including an AK-47-style rifle and magazines.

But the whole arsenal – all legally owned – was returned to him after he appealed the action in court, claiming the posts were jokes meant only for his friends.

A judge accepted his arguments and handed them back, The New York Times reports.

They were obvious jokes.

Kim Wyatt, the prosecutor who lead the action against Mr Donnelly, told the October hearing that his posts “implied [a] threat of a mass shooting”.

She had him read some of his other online messages back to the court. “Kill all woman,” said one. “Prowling the Seattle streets for women to assault,” came another.

“We would ask the court to balance the community safety needs versus the temporary deprivation of Mr Donnelly’s rights to possess firearms,” Ms Wyatt said.

New Amazon Show Features People Wearing Red MAGA-Style Hats Being Hunted as ‘Nazis’

The trailer for Amazon Prime’s “Hunters” shows what appear to be middle-class Americans, several of whom are donning red baseball hats reminiscent of Trump MAGA hats. According to the plot, these people are real Nazis, and they are being hunted and killed by “a diverse band of Nazi Hunters” in a bloody quest for revenge and justice for the killing of Jews in World War II concentration camps. Al Pacino, who plays their Nazi-hunting Jewish ringleader named Meyer Offerman, justifies the killings by saying: “This is not murder, This is mitzvah.”

The plot of the show appears to bear obvious similarities to Jason Blum’s The Hunt, a horror movie that centered around a group of liberals who hunt down red-state conservatives. The release of The Hunt was postponed following criticism from President Trump and the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton. Trump criticized Hollywood for creating violence and then blaming others. He says the Hollywood elite are the real racists in America. -GEG

A new Amazon Prime show starring Al Pacino features a group of “diverse” vigilantes who hunt down and kill “Nazis,” some of whom are depicted wearing red MAGA-style hats.

Called Hunters, the trailer for the show, which is set in New York in 1977, is dominated by Pacino’s character, a Nazi-hunting Jewish ringleader named Meyer Offerman who justifies the killings by asserting, “This is not murder, This is mitzvah.”

“For eons, people like us have been degraded and exterminated. But no more,” says Pacino as images of Jews and black people are shown.

The clips featured in the trailer portray numerous acts of violence against the “Nazis,” including stabbings, a woman being punched in the face and a car containing the victims being blown up.

According to People, the vigilante group, described as “diverse,” discovers that “hundreds of escaped Nazis are living in America” and then “set out on a bloody quest for revenge and justice.”

The plot of the show appears to bear numerous similarities to Jason Blum’s The Hunt, a horror movie that centered around a group of liberals who hunt down red state conservatives.

Illegal Alien Allegedly Kills 19-Year-Old Girlfriend After Being Released From Jail in Durham County, a Sanctuary County


Jose Bryan Guzman, an 18-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador who was living in North Carolina, has been accused of murdering a 19-year-old woman just six months after being released from jail in Durham County, which is a sanctuary county. Guzman was arrested in December 2018 for committing armed robbery on two separate occasions, but was released when Durham County announced it would no longer cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. Guzman is in the country illegally and arrived around September 2015 as an unaccompanied minor, and was released into the interior of the country, popping up on the radar only after his 2018 arrests.

An illegal alien living in North Carolina has been accused of murdering a 19-year-old woman just six months after being released from jail in a sanctuary county.

Jose Bryan Guzman, an El Salvador national, allegedly strangled his girlfriend to death in August after he was released from a Durham County jail. Guzman, 18, and Marlene Yamileth Portillo-Posada were reportedly dating at the time of her death, reported Breitbart. Guzman told an associate he killed his victim because he thought she was cheating on him, reported News Observer, citing a warrant.

Guzman was arrested in December 2018 for committing armed robbery on two separate occasions, Breitbart reported. Less than a month later, the county announced it would no longer cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. ICE officials placed a detainer on Guzman but in March, Durham County officials released him into the community.

Breitbart reported, citing a law enforcement source, that Guzman is in the country illegally and arrived around September 2015 as an unaccompanied minor. U.S. authorities then gave him a notice to appear in court for immigration proceedings and he was released into the interior of the country, popping up on the radar only after his 2018 arrests.

Portillo-Posada’s body was found near Jordan Lake in the woods on the 6400 block of North California, reported News Observer.

SPLC Labels Latin-Rite Catholics the “Largest Anti-Semitic Hate Group in America”


The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has a history of listing Christian churches as “hate groups” and repeatedly has placed the “Singing Nuns” on its hate-group map. The Singing Nuns are traditional Catholic Sisters, members of the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen, located near Spokane, Washington. The SPLC says “Radical traditionalist” Catholics, may be the largest single group of serious antisemites in America. -GEG

The Southern Poverty Law Center has a history of listing Christian groups and Catholics as “hate groups.”

 

The SPLC has repeatedly placed the “Singing Nuns” on its hate group map.

A typical hate group, huh?

The Singing Nuns are traditional Catholic Sisters, members of the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen. In other words, they wear their full-length blue habits all the time — not just on special occasions or when they are singing. Their motherhouse, St. Michael’s Convent, is located at Mount St. Michael, just north of Spokane, Washington.

The far left SPLC says these traditional Catholic nuns are a hate group.

Via the SPLC and Jack Posobiec:

“Radical traditionalist” Catholics, who may make up the largest single group of serious antisemites in America, subscribe to an ideology that is rejected by the Vatican and some 70 million mainstream American Catholics.

This is just more Christian bashing by the SPLC.
It’s what they do.

YouTube is using the Southern Poverty Law Center to decide which content is “extremist.”

Reporter Tries to Smear Speaker at Red Pill Expo Who Urged Liberty-Minded Citizens to Run for Office

I have been asked to respond to “Presenting at Red Pill Expo, Montana utility commissioner urges attendees to take their ideas mainstream“, a news article by Eric Dietrich, published in the Montana Free Press on November 22, 2019. I agreed to prepare this response, because the event in question was produced by me, and my name is intrinsically tied to it. Therefore, the description of that event is a reflection on me, personally. [More]

The focus of the article is an attempt to place Montana Utility Commissioner Randy Pinocci in a negative light allegedly for using state funds to promote our event – The Red Pill Expo. When it was learned that no state funds were used for his travel or attendance or any other expense, the fallback “complaint” was that he recorded a short promotional video for us in his facilities. Although there was no additional cost to the state for this two-minute recording session, the reporter treated it as an outrageous misuse of tax dollars.

This, of course, is a bad joke when one considers the very real and very expensive use of government resources for personal projects and political causes that goes on at almost all levels of government today. If this had been a promotion for a global-warming conference organized by Al Gore, we can be sure there would have been no complaint from the Montana Free Press.

The irony is that Pinocci is an exception to the current trend. His actions are based, not only on high principles, but also on knowing that his political opponents are scouring his every activity looking for the smallest infraction to be used against him. He obtained official permission from the administrators of the Commission to use his office for this non-official purpose. Nevertheless, the newspaper tried to use this recording as proof of malfeasance.

Clearly, the purpose of the article was, not to inform the public about what this Commissioner had on his mind about threats to the wellbeing of Montanans, but to do a hit piece on him for no apparent reason other than to damage his chance for re-election. Ironically, this small example of a political hit piece masquerading as news reporting is exactly the kind of thing we discuss at our Red Pill Expos – which is why masqueraders do everything possible to discourage the public from coming to our events or reading our materials.

Randy Pinocci is quite able to deal with such slanders against him without our help, for that has been his reality ever since he decided to run for public office. My primary interest in responding to the “Get Pinocci” article is how it described the Red Pill Expo which, indirectly, is a description of me.

Early in the article, our event was described as “a right-wing conference”. After explaining the origin of the red-pill metaphor, it says: “The metaphor has been adopted in recent years by far-right activists.” Next to that is a link to an article that has nothing to do with our Red Pill Expo or any of its participants but, instead, is a discussion of how the red pill metaphor also has been used by rapper Kanye West and several Internet misogynists and white supremacists.

Think about that for a moment. Red Pill Expo has no connection with any of these and, in fact, the principles and rules of conduct that are strictly enforced at the Expo would disqualify misogynists or race supremacists (white or any other color) from participating. So, why did the reporter insert references to female haters and white supremacists in the middle of an article about us, and why did he use such phrases as “right-wing conference” and “far-right activists”?

Anyone who has read my works knows that I have spent at least that last 40 years expounding the idea that there is no significant difference between Left and Right in terms of a political construct. I have written extensively to provide logical and historical support for the conclusion that both are merely variants of collectivism. I have popularized the phrase: “The Left and the Right are merely two wings of the same ugly bird called Collectivism.” My essay, The Chasm, advances this perspective in detail. When reporters describe me or my projects as right-wing or extreme right-wing, I know they either have not done their research homework or they are character assassins who know that what they are writing is false.

The news article describes some of topics at the Expo but does so in such a way as to prejudice the reader into thinking they are without merit. The newspaper has assumed the role of teacher – to instruct readers what attitude to have toward these topics, just in case they might otherwise be interested. Here is another red pill of our times. Almost all elements of the ‘mainstream’ now play this role, making it increasingly difficult for readers to discover viewpoints that are different from what the gatekeepers want them to consider.

The technique is easy to recognize once it is identified. A red-pill theme is presented, such as “Vaccine safety is NOT settled”, and then it is scoffed as being contrary to the findings of qualified mainstream authorities, who are widely quoted. Evidence offered by red-pill presenters is never mentioned, leaving the false impression that they ae merely conspiracy theories.

When I spoke on the phone with Eric (the reporter on this news story), he said: “With complex issues like these, how can individuals really know? Don’t you think we should trust mainstream experts to tell us the truth?”

My answer was: “When there is a huge amount of money at stake and the opportunity to gain power over others in the process, the answer is a resounding no.”

It appears that this difference of world view is the underlying problem with this article. Eric believes that his mainstream sources are wise, honorable, and objective. We who have lived long enough to see how things really work in government and commerce know better. We have learned from experience that the first rule of analysis is to question authority. This is unthinkable for those who are programmed to believe and obey. To help those poor souls escape the Matrix and discover reality is the mission of Red Pill Expo. -GEG
