China In The Gold Buying Spree + The Door To Censorship

Max and Stacy discuss the significance of the Chinese central bank openly reporting that they are buying gold. They also discuss bitcoin prices reacting immediately to the release of Fed minutes indicating concern for ‘financial instability.’ In the second half, Max interviews author, financial commentator, and comedian Dominic Frisby of DominicFrisby.com about the latest on bitcoin and gold markets. Regarding gold, they ask whether or not the record gold buying from central banks will ever impact prices.

Woman Takes First Picture Of A Black Hole ...Apparently

By MRA-UK: If you are not actually living in a black hole yourself, and hence out of contact with the rest of the universe, you will know by now that astronomers have just reported the first picture of a black hole, specifically the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy Messier 87. (To be pedantic, it’s the first picture of stuff falling into a black hole, the black hole itself being, well, black. Actually, it isn’t, quite, but never mind).
One is used to experts interviewed on the BBC about anything scientific (well, anything at all really) being women on every occasion it proves possible. This was no exception, local women astronomers being pressed into service yesterday to comment on the achievement. Annoyingly obvious propaganda. One groans and moves on. But press articles have appeared such as the BBC’s “Katie Bouman: The woman behind the first black hole image” and the Mail’s ‘An amazing accomplishment… take your seat in history’: Ivanka Trump and AOC lead the plaudits for humble MIT graduate, 29, who created the algorithm that captured the first EVER direct image of a black hole’.
A whole bunch a female celebs (not noted for knowing anything about science, and caring less) flooded social media to “claim the black hole for woman-kind”.

The Fraud Of Feminism

By Mark Dent: There is a quote from one of the characters in the play/film, The History Boys, which touched me deeply:

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – that you’d thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you’ve never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it’s as if a hand has come out and taken yours.”

I had the pleasure of rediscovering that special feeling so beautifully expressed in the quote above when I began reading The Fraud of Feminism by E. Belfort Bax. The book was written in 1913.
His commentary and insights into feminism are astonishingly fresh and as relevant and applicable today as they were more than one hundred years ago.
It was a remarkable experience to read a passage relating to what today would be labelled “virtue signaling” and to see that the very same behavior was occurring in 1913 (and long before) for the very same reasons as it exists today.

1937 Mural Of White Children Playing Deemed Offensive And Removed

A little more of American history

is destroyed each day by Identity Politics

Historic WPA mural featuring only white children removed from Oak Park school "Child and Sports–Winter," a WPA mural removed from a cafeteria at Percy Julian Middle School. Barbara Bernstein/New Deal Art Registry

By Manny Ramos: A Depression-era mural depicting white children playing outside in the winter was removed from Percy Julian Middle School in Oak Park because school officials said it failed to represent the school’s diversity.

While some said the mural was upsetting to students of color who felt it excluded them from the school, a local historian likened the removal to a “modern-day book burning.”

Julian Principal Todd Fitzgerald announced the weekend removal in an email sent to school staff Monday.

Honest 'United Bitches Of America' Govt Ad - Julian Assange

thejuicemedia: The British, Australian, Ecuadorian and US Governments have made an ad about Julian Assange’s arrest and it’s surprisingly honest and informative!

Baseline Of A Desecrated Land XII: Cautionary Tale

Part 12 of a 12 part series examining the ecological impacts

of Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

By Dick Callahan:

Recognition 12: Israel is a cautionary tale

“There are no unsacred places;

There are only sacred places

and desecrated places .”

Wendell Berry, from his poem, ‘How to be a poet (to remind myself).’

Israel is a fine example of what trouble humans can get themselves into given enough technology and denial. Mother Earth is marshaling her historical response to over-reaching desert civilizations. She’s never personal but she’s harsh.
Many, if not most, Jews in the Diaspora support Israel reasoning, “If things go badly wrong in my country, I know Israel will take me and my family in.” It’s fair to ask them, “How? With what?

'Assange' ...Discuss

We discuss one and one issue only: the fate of Julian Assange and the fate of journalism itself. CrossTalking with Xavier Moreau, John Laughland, and Alexander Mercouris.

The Fake Charge Against Julian Assange Proves That the US Government Has No Integrity

'It is the product of evil, and the evil indictment is a direct assault on the First Amendment to the US Constitution. ...In other words thought crimes already exist.'

"If Julian Assange is criminalized and incarcerated for revealing the truth about what our rulers are doing, have done, then you might as well deliver yourself behind those walls, you might as well volunteer for a prison cell yourself, because you’ll no longer be free, and you’ll never be free again.” George Galloway.
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Let’s be sure that we understand that Assange is not charged with anything related to Russia or Russiagate or even with breaking a law. Assange is charged with being in a conspiracy with Manning “to commit computer intrusion.” The charge is not that Assange succeeded in hacking a government computer and obtaining classified information. It merely says that Assange discussed the possibility with Manning and had an intention to hack a computer. Most likely, even this noncrime is an invention of prosecutors instructed to indict Assange in the absence of any evidence. It is all that they could come up with.

"As Long As Assange Is In Prison, We Are All In Prison"

By Dr. Ron Paul: Last week’s arrest of Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange by the British government on a US extradition order is an attack on all of us. It is an attack on the US Constitution. It is an attack on the free press. It is an attack on free speech. It is an attack on our right to know what our government is doing with our money in our name. Julian Assange is every bit as much a political prisoner as was Cardinal Mindszenty in Hungary or Nelson Mandela in South Africa.
They, and so many more, were imprisoned because they told the truth about their governments.
Repressive governments do not want their citizens to know that they are up to so they insist on controlling the media. We are taught, at the same time, that we have a free press whose job it is to uncover the corruption in our system so that we can demand our political leaders make some changes or face unemployment. That, we are told, is what makes us different from the totalitarian.
The arrest of Assange is a canary in a coal mine to warn us that something is very wrong with our system.

10 Reasons Julian Assange Should Walk Free - The Beginning Of The End For Press Freedom

By dandelionsalad: And an interview with Daniel Ellsberg, who calls Assange's arrest a 'serious assault on the First Amendment.'

1. Governments’ (monstrous and criminal) behavior should not be secret. People should know what their government is doing, and what a powerful foreign government is doing to their own countries. The actual results of the work of WikiLeaks have been hugely beneficial.
2. If U.S. courts were to get busy prosecuting the crimes exposed by WikiLeaks, rather than trying to turn the act of revealing them into some sort of crime, they would simply not have time for the latter.

Frankenstein Designer Kids: What You Don't Know About Gender-Transitioning Will Blow Your Mind

Authored by Robert Bridge: Puberty-blocking drugs, mastectomies, vaginal surgery and fake penises – all with zero chance of reversal – these are just some of the radical experimental methods being used on children. The madness must stop.
Imagine that you are the parent of a five-year-old boy who innocently informs you one day that he is a girl. Of course, the natural reaction would be to laugh, not phone up the nearest gender transitioning clinic. You have no idea how your little boy came to believe such a thing; possibly it was through something he heard at the daycare center, or maybe a program he saw on television. In any case, he insists that he ‘identifies’ as a female.
Eventually, possibly at the encouragement of your local school, you pay a visit to a physician. You hope this medical professional will be able to provide you and your child with some sound counseling to clear up his confusion. Prepare yourself to be disappointed. Your doctor will be forced, according to state and medical dictate, to follow the professional guidelines known as ‘affirmative care.’ It sounds nice and harmless, doesn’t it? In fact, the program could be best described as nothing short of diabolical.
