A Biologist Discusses the Ignobility of the COVID Cartel’s “Noble Lies”

By Selwyn Duke

Biologist and ex-professor Bret Weinstein was first targeted when, in 2017, he refused to comply with a request that he and other whites should leave his college’s campus for a day. More recently, YouTube demonetized him for being skeptical of COVID genetic-therapy agents (GTAs, a.k.a. “vaccines”) and advocating ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for preventing and treating the disease. Despite this, Weinstein apparently subscribes to the maxim “Never attribute to malice what is better explained by stupidity,” as he interprets the obsession with pushing the GTAs as part of a “noble lie” gone wrong.

On 9/11, Two Decades Hence, Are Things 20 Years Better?

By Selwyn Duke

It’s sadly ironic that on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, which the Biden administration presumably hoped would mark a triumphant withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban can instead celebrate a triumphant return to power.

In America, however, today isn’t a time to tout victories but commemorate the losses of parents and siblings and children and heroes, and official ceremonies are underway across the country. Rocker Bruce Springstein moved viewers to tears with what’s described as a “haunting” performance at the World Trade Center memorial plaza; President Trump visited with Big Apple police officers and released a video message; and Joe Biden is going to appear at all three sites attacked 20 years ago, in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

Then there’s former president G.W. Bush. He was less than a year into his first term when 19 Muslim jihadists hijacked four airplanes on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, crashing two into the World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon; the fourth, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, when passengers and crew bravely took physical action to thwart the terrorists. Bush gave a speech at a Shanksville service Saturday, honoring those fallen heroes. “Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow, and we honor the men and women you have loved so long and so well,” he stated.

The ex-president also had a warning and a lament, however.

Larry Elder Assaulted by “Racist” Leftist in Ape Mask; Media Says “Ho-hum”

By Selwyn Duke

According to some left-wing pseudo-elites, math is racist. Enforcing grammar rules is racist. Offering a foreigner a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is racist. But donning an ape mask and attacking the man trying to become California’s first black governor?

That’s just a “hostile confrontation” — according to the Los Angeles Times, anyway.

DNC Pushes “Whites are Paid More” Propaganda Even Though Whites Make Less Than Asians

By Selwyn Duke

“Today marks another day that Native American women are paid just $0.60 for every dollar earned by a White, non-Hispanic man,” writes the Democratic National Committee in a statement today. Interestingly, the DNC could have made the disparity even more striking by comparing American Indian women to what actually is the highest-earning race/sex-defined group: Asian men. They make 117 percent as much as white men. Any thoughts as to why they didn’t do this?

The DNC issued its statement because Sept. 8 is “Native American Women’s Equal Pay Day,” which is probably about as well known as National Mother Goose Day (May 1).

But the DNC was sure to remember (it might have created it, in fact, circuitously) and expressed in its statement that today “marks another day that Native American women are paid just $0.60 for every dollar earned by a White, non-Hispanic man. While $0.40 today doesn’t buy a bus ticket, over a 40-year career it amounts to nearly $1 million in lost wages — but it also amounts to the devaluation of Native American women’s contributions to our country that no American should find acceptable.”

Media Angry That Many “Conservatives” Are No Longer Conservative

By Selwyn Duke

When will the left-wing media be angry that conservatives are abandoning being conservative?

When that means ceasing to be defensive and no longer conserving our liberalism-born status quo.

This is precisely the case with an article by ProPublica (PP) — an outfit partially funded by George Soros’s Open Society Foundations — which writes that the “stolen election myth inspired thousands of Trump supporters to take over the Republican Party at the local level, exerting more partisan influence on how elections are run.”

(How PP defines “myth” was not explained.)

As the West Confuses Boys With Girls, China is Banning “Sissy Men” from TV

By Selwyn Duke

While Hillary Clinton and her supporters would insist that “the future is female,” this apparently isn’t going to be the case in China (or in Afghanistan). In fact, after unveiling a program earlier this year designed to enhance teen boys’ masculinity, Beijing has announced that broadcasters must “resolutely put an end to [showcasing] sissy men and other abnormal esthetics” on television.

Canadian Professor Makes War on Capital Letters; Calls Them “Symbols of Hierarchy”

By Selwyn Duke

She doesn’t have a good case. But she does have a problem with an upper one — upper-case letters, to be precise. In fact, professor Linda ManyGuns, a “Indigenous” Canadian activist, is leading a literary jihad to eliminate the taller form of the alphabet.

Except, that is, when writing “Indigenous.”

It’s just the latest in the war against Western civilization and traditional curricula. This effort has included innovations such as “inventive spelling” and the notion that math and enforcing grammar standards are “racist.”

ManyGuns, the associate vice-president of indigenization and decolonization at Mount Royal University (MRU) in Calgary, Canada, made her anti-capitalization announcement on the university’s website, writing....

COVID Tyranny: Australia Adopts Facial-recognition Tracking as it Slouches Toward Beijing

By Selwyn Duke

One of the ironies of the China virus response is that it’s making Western nations far more like their main geopolitical rival, China. A case in point is that a system designed to track quarantined Australians — and requiring them to send the government a picture of their face and verify their location within 15 minutes of being randomly contacted — may be used nationally.

What’s more, one Australian politician proclaimed that his constituents should be “proud” that their region is the app’s testing ground. All this over a disease with an infection fatality rate not much different from the flu’s.

On Free Speech, Elites May be “Looking to Move in for the Kill,” Writer Warns

By Selwyn Duke

Among a multitude of evils, here’s something else your tax money is helping fund: an effort to squelch your free-speech rights.

At issue is a National Public Radio On the Media episode about the “dangers” of free speech. The program’s guests included, writes liberal commentator Matt Taibbi at Substack, “Andrew Marantz, author of an article called, ‘Free Speech is Killing Us’; P.E. Moskowitz, author of ‘The Case Against Free Speech’; Susan Benesch, director of the ‘Dangerous Speech Project’; and Berkeley professor John Powell, whose contribution was to rip John Stuart Mill’s defense of free speech in On Liberty as ‘wrong.’”

Stanford Epidemiologist Studies COVID, Finds It’s Highly Treatable and RARELY a Deadly Disease

By Selwyn Duke

Early last year, Stanford professor John Ioannidis stated that if we didn’t know a new virus called COVID existed, we might just “have casually noted that flu this season seems to be a bit worse than average.” Now Ioannidis has done research that perhaps vindicates that statement, finding that the coronavirus’ infection fatality rate (IFR) in most of the world is less than 0.20 percent — much like that of the flu.

What’s more, the professor concludes that protecting the vulnerable and early treatment could likely reduce that IFR further.
