A Study in Projection: Cyber Bully Jeremy Lam’s Claims of Cultural Appropriation

First of all, Jeremy Lam is appropriating Chinese culture by implying all Chinese can be represented by one Chinese man and cyber bully, and that they are enamored of the victim-hood mentality to the ridiculous extent he is. This man actually feels victimized by a white girl honoring the Chinese culture by wearing a prom dress celebrating it! Second of all, you’re projecting your own appropriation of your culture on to an innocent party. Please stop, Jeremy. […]

Trump is Doing What Kennedy Tried To Do – Kevin Shipp

On Friday, Shipp and other retired top officials at the CIA, FBI, DOJ and NSA held a press conference and demanded Attorney General Jeff Sessions prosecute top Obama era officials for obvious crimes against the incoming Trump Administration.

The 2nd surest proof of brainwashing is believing you are smarter than President Trump just because the media flatters you into believing it. Consider the skill set we need to be anywhere near his intelligence (estimated 156 IQ, genius, believe it or not, with accomplishments and skill sets that actually support an applied, not passive, 156 IQ). How many of us can say that we have, without having held any public office or political experience, ran for and won the presidency of the United States on the first try? […]

Boycott These CNN Advertisers. With Extreme Prejudice.

The Children’s Crusade didn’t end well. And it won’t end well this time, either. The script is simple. The network is promulgating a demagogue and crisis actor as we can see in this video shot by a schoolmate regarding his 26 year-old debate partner from California who lied about being at the shooting.

FBI Files: George H. W. Bush’s Top Secret CIA Drug Running Empire

On the anniversary of Robert F. Kennedy’s death, on June 5, 1989; Sen. Edward Kennedy asked the FBI to secretly brief him on George H.W. Bush’s history with the drug trade and CIA. The top secret document revealed that the CIA to entered into the drug smuggling business, in a total and complete fashion. Each of the five planners had their own field to handle. Bush would be the secret head of ONA and handle all the shipping of the drugs under forged waybills. [Richard] Armitage would be the “gopher” for the group and the intermediary with any “undesirables”. General Landsdale would handle all the distribution network and collection services within the military in Vietnam. […]
