US 'Agents Of Satan': The Case of Dred Scott

'The worst decision in the entire history of the Supreme Court.'
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Never before have I seen the case of Dred Scott as completely and accurately presented as John Remington Graham presents it in his monograph, Blood Money: The Civil War and the Federal Reserve.
Dred Scott was a slave who belonged to a United States Army officer, an army surgeon, John Emerson.  In 1834 Emerson took Scott with him when assigned duty at Fort Snelling, which was located in Wisconsin Territory, a part of the Louisiana Purchase where slavery had been prohibited by the Missouri Compromise of 1820.
Under established law and precedent at the time, law and precedent acknowledged and upheld by southern courts, an owner who took his slave into a non-slave area was regarded as having freed the slave.  Dred Scott loved Dr. Emerson and did not press his case until years after Dr. Emerson’s death.

It’s Time To Uncancel Palestinian Gentiles

By Michael F. Brown: Gentile survivors of occupied Palestine got canceled last week on a New York Times podcast.
Perhaps canceled is an overstatement.
So far as is known, a Palestinian speaker hadn’t actually been invited to discuss a one-state solution with Peter Beinart on the podcast hosted by Times writers Ross Douthat and Michelle Goldberg.
This is not a new phenomenon: Palestinians have been largely absent from US media for years, including CNN, MSNBC and other major networks, particularly at the beginning of Israeli assaults on Gaza when the issue is being framed and culpability attributed to Palestinians.
The same goes in print and online. Newsweek’s editor Josh Hammer decries “cancel culture,” but he’s excluded Palestinians from his op-ed page while repeatedly publishing anti-Palestinian bigots.
Hammer can be expected to sideline Palestinians for as long as he can.
In some ways, it’s more painful when Beinart gets to go to the front of the line to discuss one state, while Palestinians who have advocated such a state with equal rights for much longer don’t get their views on the subject lifted up.

This Nigerian doctor says that "There is a cure for COVID!"  She also says that we don't need masks and that kids should be going to school.
Update: ...YouTube just banned the video, because the owners want to control your thoughts. Apparently they want you to be afraid.
