France Makes Major Shift Toward Fascism In Wake Of Paris Terror Attacks

Michael Lotfi (TRUTHINMEDIA): Ahead of planned United Nations climate talks, the French government is utilizing emergency laws put in place after November’s Paris terror attack to hold climate activists under house arrest.
Immediately after the November terror attacks, the French government declared a state of emergency based on a rarely used 1955 law that allows the state to conduct warrant-less searches of private property, impose curfews, restrict public gatherings and movements of people, confiscate weapons at will and take over the press.
Legal activist Joel Domenjoud said he had been served with a restraining order describing him as a “principal leader of the ultra-left movement,” a title he disputes, only a couple hours after a judge refused to hear an appeal against the ban on the climate demo Domenjoud had petitioned for. A neighbor informed Domenjoud that a swam of police were lined up the stairs waiting for him to arrive home.
“I feel angry about it because I think they made a big mistake,” Domenjoud said. “They weren’t looking for people like us activists– or if they were, it shows that they can target people for no reason at all and our civil liberties are in danger.”

I'm Raising My Son As An Egalitarian, You Sexist Feminist

"It's 2015 and feminists have finally figured out that men are half of the equation! ...Feminism has opposed shard parenting every time it comes up, feminism has opposed men having any type of autonomy in parenting every time it comes up, feminism does not lobby for things like women being forced to register for selective service, like men are, why? Because it's [Feminism] not for breaking down gender barriers in any manner except for one and that's what benefits women." Felfop Returns. Huffpost posted more insanity, as is usual. This one caught my eye. Teaching your boys alone to respect the girls will not end well, bigots.

Why Turkey Shot Down Russia's Plane

"Saying you're sorry is not what the Sultan is all about. ...It's those 'moderates' who celebrated their war crime when machine gunning the Russian pilot as he parachuted from the ambushed plane. How is it that these Turk man brigades, their leader a Turkish grey wolf terrorist knew the exact time of the shoot down, how is it that their cameras, video venues and script were ready to go? Looks like coordinated and premeditated revenge. ...When Putin called Turkey an accomplice of terrorists, he knew the place and the players
...Russia's in charge even if Jewish neo-con[-artist]s try to get their boots on the ground." Brother Nathanael

Censorship For Thee, But Not For Me: The Feminist Battle Cry

By : The recent shooting at the Colorado Springs abortion facility Planned Parenthood has left feminists wailing and stamping their feet with typical, toddler-esque demands that reflect their principle concept of reality: make the bad people go away, Daddy! My purpose today is not to discuss abortion or vigilante justice or what constitutes a person, but rather to examine the feminist reaction to the shooting, and consider that in lieu of their own behavior towards groups they don’t like. I think it’s worth noting that the mindset of people who pick up guns and shoot abortion providers is not hard to understand: they genuinely, truly believe that abortion is murder, and they are engaged in stopping mass murder.

Let’s take a moment here and examine the charge that anyone who opposes abortion is automatically a misogynist. I think this charge is garbage, for two reasons: first, half (perhaps even more than half) the babies being aborted are girls. Fighting to protect the lives of unborn girls who will become women is, by definition, not misogyny. You may not agree that unborn humans are, in fact, human, but that doesn’t matter: the people who think life begins at conception do, and that is the perspective we are considering. Second, if men were the ones who got pregnant, and the ones having abortions, I sincerely doubt the abortion opposition would care. They are opposing what they see as outright murder of the person in utero, not the gender of the person committing murder.

Life In The Electronic Concentration Camp: The US Surveillance State Is Alive And Well

Big Brother in the form of an increasingly powerful government and in an increasingly powerful private sector will pile the records high with reasons why privacy should give way to national security, to law and order [...] and the like.” - William O. Douglas, Supreme Court Justice
By John W. Whitehead: Bottle up the champagne, pack away the noisemakers, and toss out the party hats.
There is no cause for celebration.
We have secured no major victories against tyranny.
We have achieved no great feat in pushing back against government overreach.
For all intents and purposes, the National Security Agency has supposedly ceased its bulk collection of metadata from Americans’ phone calls, but read the fine print: nothing is going to change.
The USA Freedom Act, which claimed to put an end to the National Security Agency’s controversial collection of metadata from Americans’ phone calls, was just a placebo pill intended to make us feel better and let the politicians take credit for reforming mass surveillance.
In other words, it was a sham, a sleight-of-hand political gag pulled on a gullible public desperate to believe that we still live in a constitutional republic rather than a down-and-out, out-of-control, corporate-controlled, economically impoverished, corrupt, warring, militarized banana republic.

Angels Save Gawain From Marriage

By : Sometimes your friends really aren’t looking out for your best interests. Especially if they’re married, and they’re urging you to marry. De coniuge non ducenda, a Latin work of men’s sex protest written between 1225 and 1250, tells how three angels saved Gawain from marriage.
The married men who were Gawain’s friends didn’t act like angels. They instead sought company to the end of their miserable days. Gawain easily could have joined them:
"And all these made wild,
By women that they used.
Though I be now beguiled,
I think I might be excused.
[1]

Gawain explained:
I once had planned to take a wife
(To follow others’ wretched life),
A tender, juicy, winsome maid — By her alone my heart was swayed.

Some friends advised me on the spot
To run and tie the nuptial knot

(“The married life’s the way for you!”),
To join me in their woeful crew.

My hasty wedding they did press
To cheer their gloom by my distress,
But through three angels all was well:
God snatched me from the gates of hell.
