That may be so. Certain Nazi sterilization programs required a court order. The most horrific acts can be cloaked with a clever argument. I make no such clever argument, but democracies are founded on persuasion, hence the ballot box and the jury box. Society must function in spite of errors, perfection is the enemy of good, etc. As long as policies fulfill a commonly agreed upon objective, is this not democracy in action?

Johnstone: A Society Is Only As Free As Its Most Troublesome Political Dissident - [FREEDOM]
by Zenaan Harkness 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Johnstone has a real flair for apropos! "One of the greatest British rock musicians of all time" or rather one of the greatest rock musicians of all time. Doing a concert for Assange. For us all. For our rights and freedoms. And Johnstone nails it with, in hindsight, the obvious: "A society is only as free as its most troublesome dissident". And Julian Assange is surely that - the modern empire's most troublesome dissident, exposing many secrets that pain the empire to be reminded of, and … [View More]

“High School Course Beijing Accuses of Radicalizing Hong Kong”
by Ryan Carboni 01 Sep '19

This NY Times article focuses entirely on local opinions about Liberal Studies. It makes no comparative analysis, or even examination of what Liberal Studies is. Presumably it is similar to civics classes in the west. Critical thinking is encouraged in class. I have no idea why critical thinking would be valuable in society. Sent from ProtonMail Mobile

Trump's communism
by Punk 01 Sep '19

01 Sep '19

One of the means that murderous jew marx wanted to use in order to gain absolute power for him and his accomplcies was "Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly." Such banks do exist today of course, and are known as 'central banks'. It easily follows that supporters of central banking are supporters of 'national' communism. Now, what does the orange monkey aka trump cunt say about central banking? "… [View More]

Dystopian future arrives - QE∞ - Denmark offers home mortgages at negative interest rates - [MONEY]
by Zenaan Harkness 01 Sep '19

01 Sep '19

Some might wonder why literal negative interest rates where your home loan reduces at the end of each year, even if you pay nothing all year, is dystopian. This email, and the below linked Zerowedgie article, will not answer that riddle for you, although perhaps it has something to do with debasement of the value of governmnet monopoly (((fiat fake money)))? Who knows ... In the meantime, if you're a Denmark citizen, jump in on a 10 year fixed rate morgage with an interest rate of negative 0.… [View More]5% - literally! Also, as there is no risk of default, there is no mortgage insurance required, so any amount you would previously have paid on mortgage insurance, can now be paid on the loan capital, along with any other payments you might be inclined to pay, and of course no deposit is required - this is literally 100% financing. But when there's no need to pay, why pay? And as a bonus, all the immigrants (((the elites))) have flooded your nation with, can now afford to buy a home :D Soap, very interdasting... how best to game this new, degenerate (((Federal Reserve banking))) game? Buy every house for sale? Of course, in very short order one can imagine that every sane Dane will refinance and not sell, so real estate should dry up almost overnight. It's also an end game of sorts since everyone who at least holds title to one or more properties, can now pay off all those titles just by taking out new mortgages ... although interest rates may well rise again at the end of that 10 year -0.5% rate mortgage, after which you shall owe almost exactly half your initial amount. So that's effectively an automatic capital depreciation rate of 50% every 10 years. The next trick the bankers can pull is to lower rates even further in a year, after all the sheeple have refinanced at -0.5%, to say -2%, and owe much less than 50% of the capital amount at the end of 10 years. It's all rather wierd. Smells of a (((banking system))) effectively in collapse. Perhaps this is one way to unwind the almost unfathomable debt to equity ratios which require a systemic collapse, in the face of a populace who will literally just roll out thousands of local mini digital currencies if we DO see a 1929-style collapse, and so the incumbent - remember the Fed :) - wishes (naturally enough) to maintain their incumbency status. But if collapse is your only option given that the masses are not really falling into civil war due to infinigger immigration and a now weekly stream of WHITE NATIONALIST TERRORISM SHOOTUPS (oh, wait, it's mostly extreme leftist Antifa crazies and the occasional copycats), but anyway, here's the bum out list for the Fed's "reset in the face of Chaos by pretending to be the nights in white shining armour when the chaos really hits the fan and the multitudes are screaming for stability: - China did not bite into a hissy fit of US Gov debt note selling, so China cannot be blames for the reset - Russia stabilised Syria, Iran and Turkey, and to some extent Egypt, and failed to smash the CIA's "most public coup in history" in the Ukraine, and so World War 3 is close to no longer on the table and therefore "nations fighting to hell" cannot be blamed for the reset - the Huwaite Nazi Supremacist Terrorists in the USA have so far demonstrated an utter inability to effectively unite and stand for or even trigger a civil war in North America, so THEY can't be blamed for the coming reset - Trump is too boldly all but (well, actually doing so), blaming the Fed outright for every step the fed takes ("too little", "not enough", "the Fed is crippling our economy", "Obama had much looser policy, I should get that too" etc etc), and despite a few timid shots in response, the Fed is bound to demonstrate a conservativeness unable to decend to the depths of "popular discourse" Trump, and so Trump cannot effectively be blamed for the looming USD financial reset So what other tricks have they got to deflect blame from (((the Fed)))'s predatory usury upon most of the world for the most recent century gone? They could let Wall Street/ Main Street crash as happened in 1929, but this time we're onto the game, and so are the traders and business operators - everyone knows to blame the Fed for "artificially tight monetary policy", "insufficient $ stimulus" etc - so the Fed is going to get blamed this time, and they know it :D Shit! The Fed is pretty close to all outta options. What now? The banks don't want to collectively fall over, so what do they do? When the world is held to crippling financial "debt" of $150,000 per man, woman and child on this planet, it's farcical - bring on the reset, no one gives a shit any more :) But the banks don't want to collapse - there's every bloody chance they will lose their (illegal, unconstitutional) incumbency of the right to print cash. So you start giving the money away. They have no other option. Why no other option? There are some systemic reasons (phenomenally inter-leveraged banks and nations), but also the simplest of reasons: - If I don't personally have an economic stake in the economic system, I have no interest support, or even to use, that system. Multiply this for every man, woman and child on the planet. The point is, there's a very real issue of shared common delusions and tacit consent - if we stop using a system, that system dies. A mental structure (shared common delusion) of money controlled by a very few, only lives to the extent that we all partake of/in, that system! And now that we can roll out digital currencies for every pub, possibly for every family even (although that might not be so useful, whereas a local public bar has enough of a community/ group effect to actually be useful to that local community), we literally do not care about any coming/ looming/ threatening financial terrorism brought about by the Federal Reserve banks - in fact, the sooner this reset comes, the better, since when the money collapses, we have IMMEDIATE SANCTION to roll out our own local currencies, EXACTLY as happened towards the end of the great depression - usually centered around/ run by, the local pubs across North America. So hey, how awesome could this reset be? Danged, bloody awesome mate! Absolute ripper! And so now we see negative mortgage rates, actually being rolled out. Well firetruck me sideways till Sunday! Did NOT see that one coming. Suddenly there's a real possibility that 10s of thousands of Denmark (and soon other country's) sheeple, may well just go and lock themselves with a stake, into the incumbent Federal Reserve banking system, thereby providing somewhat of a breather to said (((Federal Reserve de Rothschild))) banking system. Interesting times, that's for bloody sure :) Denmark's 3rd Largest Bank Is Now Paying People To Take Out A Mortgage https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-10/denmarks-3rd-largest-bank-now-pay… [View Less]

Congress Members To Wear Barcodes So Lobbyists Can Scan Prices
by Razer 01 Sep '19

01 Sep '19

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a move to make purchasing congresspeople easier and faster for lobbyists, Congress voted to approve a new measure that calls for congresspeople to wear barcodes on their foreheads so lobbyists, activists, and corporations can simply scan them and self-checkout. Self-checkout machines will be installed at all exits of the Capitol Building, so once they've added congresspeople to their cart, lobbyists can pay right on the way out.
