First, the so-called elites promoted Eugenics, which led to forced sterilization laws. Then it was abortion, first decriminalized in California and New York, and then decriminalized by the now overturned Roe v Wade decision.

Note how angry the elite, especially in the Democrat Party, got when the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs v Jackson decision was leaked back in May of 2022. The Left went ballistic, unleashing a barrage of violence against churches and Pro-Life Crisis Pregnancy Centers around the country. New Hampshire wasn’t spared. Pathways Pregnancy Care Center, a Christian ministry in Littleton, was vandalized.

No arrests were made for this vicious hate crime, and no public condemnation of this act was made by Governor Sununu or any of our Congressional delegation. A call to Pathways confirmed that Sununu and the Democrat Congressional delegation didn’t reach out to the center condemning the vandalism, bigotry, and hate. Indeed, they all poured gasoline on the fire by denouncing the Supreme Court decision, knowing full well that it had absolutely no impact on abortion in New Hampshire. The once “Live Free or Die State” has, over the years, become the “Come Here and Die State.”

The Death Cultists are also pushing so-called gender reassignment surgery via chemical and surgical castration of children. And woe to any who dare speak out against this. If you don’t wholeheartedly support this Death Cult madness, you may not be able to adopt children. Another item on their evil agenda is “assisted suicide” legislation, which was recently passed by the New Hampshire House.

Forced Sterilization and its Racist Roots

Forced sterilization was popular among our racist elite from the 1880s up to the early 1970s. It fell out of favor by the elites not because they thought it was wrong but because their Nazi colleagues in Germany efficiently adopted it from them. Thirty states passed laws that allowed it. New Hampshire was no exception. One of the leaders of the Eugenics movement was Harry Hamilton Laughlin, who would be a big hit at today’s anti-Israel protests because he believed most Jews were feeble-minded. One of our nation’s top Eugenics and forced sterilization advocates was Madison Grant.

Grant’s 1916 book The Passing of a Great Race was translated into German and read by Hitler in the early 1920s. Hitler made references to Grant’s book in Mein Kamph, quoted Grant in his speeches, and even sent Grant a fan letter praising his book. It comes as no surprise that Grant was an evolutionist. He was secretary of the New York Zoological Society and helped put a man from the Congo, Ota Benga, on display with monkeys in the Bronx Zoo.

I am sure very few readers know about this sordid history due to the fact that modern-day Death Cultists control our government schools and most of the media and publishing houses. Very few readers have heard of Planned Parenthood’s Negro Project and that Martin Luther King was in on the hustle promoting its racist agenda. He was one of the first recipients of its Margaret Sanger Award.

The New England states that had forced sterilization laws besides New Hampshire were Maine, Vermont, and Connecticut. California led the way with over 20,000 forced sterilizations, and New Hampshire had about 700-with 90% of them being women. Here is a portion of the 1929 New Hampshire law on forced sterilization: “Whenever the superintendent of any state or county institution shall be of the opinion that it is for the best interest of the inmate and society that any inmate of the institution under his care should be sexually sterilized, such superintendent is hereby authorized to cause to be performed by some capable surgeon the operation of sterilization…”

Most of these forced sterilizations took place at the State School for Feeble-Minded Children in Laconia. States slowly repealed these laws; some were still on the books until the early 1970s.

Laconia State School for feebleminded children “Assisted Suicide” Jack Kevorkian

Suicide is self-murder. If two or more people are involved, it can no longer be suicide. Jack Kevorkian, one of the Death Cult’s high demons, went to jail for 2nd-degree murder for participating in an “assisted suicide.” Currently, nine states- and Washington D.C, all of them are, with the exception of Montana, Democrat Party strongholds, have passed “Death With Dignity” laws.

These Death Cultists love to use euphemisms to mask their acts: “Reproductive Health Care and Gender Reassignment Surgery are two others employed by them. The Death Cultists are active in New Hampshire and are close to passing more Death Cult legislation. The New Hampshire House narrowly passed the bill HB1283, which should have been ceremoniously named HB1984.

Here are the members of the Death Cult who sponsored the bill:

•Representative Sherry Dutzy (D) from Hillsborough District 6.
•Representative David Paige (D) from Carroll District 1.
•Representative Linda Haskins (D) from Rockingham District 11.
•Representative Stephen Woodcock (D) from Carroll District 1.
•Representative Emily Phillips ® from Rockingham District 7.
•Representative Bob Lynn ® from Rockingham District 17.
•Representative Dan Wolf ® from Merrimack District 7.
•Representative Bill Bolton (D) from Grafton District 8

While members of this cult have a cozy home in the Democrat Party, the Republicans also have them in their ranks. The bill will be voted on in the Senate on May 16. If passed, it will go to the governor, who said that he is “open to considering the bill,” which means, in Orwellian Double Speak, that he will sign it. Readers are urged to call their senators as soon as possible and tell them to say no to the Death Cult agenda and its HB1283.

“Are we a culture of life, or are we a culture of death,” said Rep. Terry Roy (R-Deerfield). We will soon find out.

A long time ago, right here in New Hampshire, a gay marriage bill failed in a Democrat majority legislature. They strongarmed a reconsideration vote and passed it, despite a prevailing narrative that civil unions were enough. Gov John Lynch signed it, meddling in marriage.

I was often wrongly accused of being against gay marriage. As is their custom, they assumed without ever having read a word I’d written on the matter, and that made for excellent follow-up material, but they don’t read that either. The truth is that I was (and still am) against the state defining anything having to do with marriage. My position was (and still is) that if your congregation agrees to a same-sex union, the state’s only obligation was to protect the contract related to property rights and only if required (when brought before the courts) to settle disputes. Treat it like any other union for those purposes; otherwise, stay out of it.

Democrats don’t work that way, and now, apparently, neither do some Republicans.

New Hampshire’s GOP majority legislature has advanced a bill ending “child marriage.” I’m not saying I disagree with the idea that children should not marry. Modern culture is not arranged in a way that prepares enough of them for the responsibility. It would be unfair to expect them to get it, but until recently, with parental consent (also not something the left cares much about), New Hampshire residents as young as 13 or 14 could be married. None were recently, so I’m not clear what the problem was, but someone had a burr in their saddle. In 2018, NH raised the age to 16, and this year, the experts in Concord have decided to prohibit marriage until the age of 18 with or without mutilated genitals, as this is something Democrats (with a few rare exceptions) favor for children regardless of age.

During the marriage meddling bill debate, Rep. Jess Edwards made national news when speaking from the well of the NH House about the proposed change.

Aside from the choice of words to describe childbearing age (I’d have said “of childbearing age”), Rep. Edwards’ point is legit. The law was the way it was because young ladies could get pregnant. Both ripe and fertile. Ask any Democrat who has advocated for “sex education” for minors that involves handing out condoms and discussing abortion options with “children.” Why is that again?

Campaign donations from Planned Parenthood and Emily’s List. They are sacrificing the unborn babies of tweens to the goddess Ka-Ching! And this is the party working to normalize minor-attracted adults – who might, to paraphrase Lightbringer Barry Obama, punish someone’s daughter with a baby.

The Left has been profiting from this arrangement for years, going so far as claiming a right to privacy for the impregnated minor so their parent(s) didn’t need to find out. A practice that makes young girls of childbearing age ripe and fertile ground for pedophiles and sex offenders.

So, the Left has long insisted that we acknowledge the need for “women’s health care” (abortion) for girls as soon as they are fertile and ripe (or, if you prefer, ripe and fertile). That taxpayers subsidize it.

But let’s be offended by what Rep. Edwards said.

And while we’re in the neighborhood, early onset progressive sexualization has since produced mission creep down to grammar school grades where they no longer have time to teach grammar, reading, or math, it seems. Where children with no concept of sex or sexuality are sexualized by union dues-paying Democrat candidate-supporting (pro-abortion) adults long before these kids can understand arousal, sexual attraction, or an act that could result in … marriage as a deterrent. One that has, for longer than not, heralded the need for two parents (even at the ripe young age of thirteen) to be bonded together to ensure they take responsibility for what they’d created—a future taxpayer. Hey, someone will have to pay the interest on all that debt, but if the kid keeps the kid, there will be no marriage for you until you turn 18 ‘cuz a bunch of legislators in Concord know better.

Maybe we should rebrand it the mandatory single motherhood bill.

Or, more likely, the “It’s easier to get an abortion” bill, which was Rep. Edwards’ point.

The post NH Marriage Meddling and How Democrats Profit from Minors’ Who are Ripe and Fertile … appeared first on Granite Grok.

Let me first thank Spike for mentioning my recent article in his article, which he finishes with noting that it’s “planting a small seed.”  It inspired me to review one of my earliest articles, perhaps my 3rd, to also plant a small seed, and it received some comments that I either overlooked or were posted after I stopped looking.

One of those comments mentions Nebraska, whose state house Karen Thoman and her husband visited during a summer road trip last year.  When they returned to NH and she was telling me all about their vacation, it was then that I learned about their legislature being the first and only unicameral one since the 1930s.

I was unfamiliar with the Reynolds vs. Sims case at the time, but remember that Nebraska is a red state, and the change was made during the Great Depression, possibly as an act of thrift.  Also, keep in mind that they have a paid legislature, and it’s a big state, which can make us private citizens take for granted the ability to be in Concord, for whatever reason, in a matter of minutes up to a maximum of about 2 hours without bad weather.

Senatorial duties call for roughly three trips to Concord per week during peak season, and let’s pick on Carrie Gendreau for a moment as she votes first and lives the furthest from Concord. That’s 500 plus miles on the odometer for her, which has to be more hours at the wheel than in committee or in the senate chamber.  I won’t get into the weeds and split hairs, but you get the picture.

While I find a lot of procedural and structural things, for lack of better words, more pleasant in watching the live streams of the Senate than the House, I despise the “steamrolling” that occurs, which was noted in the comments. And then there’s the burying of bad bills in a bundle called “consent.”  I certainly do NOT “consent” to an RTK Tax!

And just to cite another example to keep my complaint from being exclusively HB 1002-related, the Brookline GOP secretary called attention to SB 538,
an unhinged pure Dem bill (relative to zoning procedures concerning residential housing) that he dubbed an “ill-advised HOMEnibus bill,” that died in the House last Thursday.  It should have never even made it out of Senator Gray’s committee.  What in the name of all that’s holy is wrong with them?  They’re as bad as Judiciary!

At least one chamber did something last Thursday that actually serves Granite Staters, even though I have no representation in that body. I would also add that the death of SB 538 should be as ceremonious as Gregory Peck stepping out of the courtroom to go shoot a neighborhood rabid dog rather than the unpleasant fallout from Kristi Noem having to shoot a dog in her new book.

One must ask, “How many other bad senate bills are UNANIMOUSLY passed in this subversive manner?”

And even if it wasn’t so subversive, what about the hive mind or Uniparty peer pressure?  Suppose for a moment that there’s a popular feel-good bill that you and/or your Senator do not support.  S/he gets “chilled” of free speech and has to suck it up in a roll call to avoid being labeled the cold-hearted snake.  It’s not a hill to commit political suicide on, but it’s not worth risking losing the next election by being the only one to vote NO on (insert bill here).  It can be anything from something that’s as non-lawmaking as accepting a picture or Rogers Johnson to Massing up NH, like enshrining MassHealth.  In the House, a dissenter is often not alone and can blend in like a Camry in heavy traffic, but NOT in a body of 24 whose names are individually roll called by the clerk.

In addition to all the benefits noted in my earlier case for not having a senate, we can delve deeper into reviewing additional benefits.  Mull it over yourself, but I’ll first direct you to the famous Henry Kissinger comment about whoever that controls(this commodity) controls(those people or populations, etc.).
https://www.azquotes.com/author/8103-Henry_A_Kissinger

If we abolish the Senate, we will solve the problem of the donors owning Sharon Carson controlling which bills make it to the Corner Office.

The post Hey NH, Let’s Go UNICAMERAL appeared first on Granite Grok.

American colleges, known for fostering social movements, have witnessed a curious alliance in recent decades—the Leftist-Islamist coalition, an uneasy and yet significant force. This essay delves into this collaboration, raising questions about its ideological compatibility and financial transparency.

 

The political leanings of American faculty have been a topic of discussion since the 1930s. Studies like those by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education and the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) consistently show a higher concentration of liberals, particularly in humanities and social sciences. The McCarthy era of the 1950s further intensified scrutiny of political views in academia, sparking debates about academic freedom and potential bias.

The 1990s saw the emergence of Islamist activism on U.S. campuses, with the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at the forefront. Founded in 1992 by Hatem Bazian, SJP actively advocates for Palestinian rights and criticizes Israeli policies. The group aligns itself with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and promotes an “anti-normalization” stance towards Zionist and most Jewish organizations. SJP’s activities and pronouncements have been met with controversy, including accusations of anti-Semitism and support for extremism.

 

Despite their apparent ideological differences, Leftists (Marxists) and Islamists find common ground in shared perspectives that fuel collaboration on various issues, particularly those related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Student organizations like SJP often partner with leftist groups to organize protests, campaigns, and initiatives. Collaboration extends to academics from both backgrounds, too, who engage in joint research projects, conferences, and publications that critically examine power structures, global politics, and their impact on marginalized communities.

The main problem here is that the role of academia (particularly leftist professors) in promoting a benign image of Islam while downplaying or ignoring its political aspects is that it portrays Islam as compatible with democratic societies—this is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public about the nature of Islam.

 

The financial resources that sustain coalitions between the Left and Islamists on U.S. college campuses come from various sources with varying degrees of transparency. Understanding these funding streams is crucial for a comprehensive picture of this phenomenon. Islamists leverage democratic processes to gain influence and potentially undermine democratic institutions from within. There is a warning here of the potential for Islamists to establish shadow governments within democratic societies, using Sharia law as a tool for control and intimidation.

Overt funding sources are publicly known and disclosed. They include:

 

 

University Grants and Allocations: Universities often allocate funds to student organizations and initiatives aligned with diversity, inclusion, and social justice values. These allocations are typically made through student activity fees or departmental budgets.

Foundation Grants: Foundations supporting social justice, human rights, and academic research may provide grants to student organizations and initiatives. These grants are awarded based on the alignment of the organization’s mission with the foundation’s objectives.

 

Crowdfunding and Donations: Public fundraising campaigns are another source of overt funding. These campaigns are often initiated by the organizations themselves or their supporters.

Covert funding sources are less transparent and may not be publicly disclosed, and they include:

 

 

Foreign Government Funding: Reports suggest that foreign governments, particularly in the Middle East, provide funding to American organizations and initiatives aligned with the former’s political interests. This funding can be channeled through intermediaries or directly to the organizations.

Private Donations from Individuals and Entities: Private donations from individuals and entities with specific political or ideological interests can also serve as covert funding sources.

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs): NGOs operating internationally provide funding to U.S. organizations and initiatives, especially those that align with their mission of promoting human rights, social justice, or other causes. Think, George Soros.

The distinction between overt and covert funding sources is important for understanding the financial dynamics of coalitions between the Left and Islamists on U.S. college campuses. The lack of transparency in some funding sources raises concerns about accountability, the potential for misuse of funds, and the influence of external actors on domestic politics and campus life.

Universities, student organizations, and the public must maintain high standards of transparency and accountability in handling funds. This includes clear disclosure of funding sources, the purposes for which funds are used, and the outcomes achieved through these investments.

This perspective underscores a broader debate about Islam’s nature, the role of left-leaning academia and the media in shaping public perception, and the challenges it poses to democratic societies. There is an urgent need to reflect deeply on naive or misguided attempts to reconcile Islamism with democratic values and practices.

Finally, we need to understand that the current state of America is at a critical juncture, with various challenges facing the nation. The threat of advancing Islamist jihadists and retreating democracy is cause for alarm. Additionally, the Islamic Republic’s rapid progress towards acquiring nuclear weapons capability adds to the overall unease.

The future of America hangs in the balance, and the choices made in the upcoming elections will shape the nation’s trajectory. Citizens must be informed and engaged, working towards America’s prosperous and secure future.

Norah O’Donnell challenged Hakeem Jeffries, saying that 2/3 of America believed the economy was better under Donald Trump. “Well, that’s just not the case,” says Hakeem Jeffries. We (the Democrats) have to do a better job of educating the American people. They are wrong, and the economy is much more robust than four years ago.

Seriously, what planet do these Democrats live or how stupid do they think we are? There is not enough Blue Kool-aid to get us to defy the facts and toast marshmallows with the gaslights these political hacks are using on us. No single component of the Biden economy makes it more robust than it was under Donald Trump.

We know politicians lie or stretch the truth, but there is no way that Jeffries can back his statement. Let’s look at some of the facts:

1. Gas Prices: Trump: $2.19 Biden: $3.33
2. Inflation: Trump: 1.2% Biden: 19%
3. GDP: Trump: 5.2% ** Biden: 1.2%
4. Wages Trump: 7.2% Biden: 3.6%
5. Unemployment Trump: 3.5% Biden: 3.7%
6. House Prices Trump: $335K Biden: $435K
7. Mortgage Rate Trump: 2.5% Biden: 7%

** Pre-COVID

The number that Biden always goes to is Jobs. He claims that no other president has lost as many jobs as Trump. Trump had a higher job growth until 2019 when the Pandemic hit. Conversely, Biden wants to claim all of the COVID replacement jobs. You cannot have both sides.

Other elements to consider are credit card balances, which have exceeded $1 trillion, and the fact that the American family has to spend nearly $1,200 a month more to maintain their 2020 lifestyle. How can Jeffries argue any of those numbers?

This is why Bidenomics is no longer a term Biden used on the campaign trail.

The mainstream media is complicit with what Jeffries did. He made an obviously incorrect statement, yet the reporter did not challenge Jeffries. Yes, she said that 2/3 of Americans disagreed, but she let the claim stay without correction with facts. Norah O’Donnell is a veteran and should have been prepared with the same data I supplied here. Rachel Maddox of MSNBC will not air any live public statements by Donald Trump because she has determined he is not credible. This act of censorship is from a “journalist” who made her career on the Russian Dosier and disputing the existence of the Hunter Laptop.

Politics and government in America have drifted so far from the truth and reality that you need a 24/7 fact checker to ascertain the clarity within the smoke. This deviance from the truth fueled the civil unrest on our campuses. Because these students were deprived of the true history of World War II, Hitler, the Holocaust, or the creation of Israel, it is easy for them to be fed a narrative by political activists to destroy anyone or anything that stands in the way of their toppling of America. People like Jeffries are as guilty as these activists and must be stopped and called out. Giving them a microphone and allowing them to speak their version of reality is a disservice and an affront to the American people.

Denver, Colorado, is 1,782 miles from where I sit, so why would I care what they do? That’s a fair question, so here’s my answer. It is the same explanation for most of the out-of-state content. What Democrats are doing there is what Democrats here will do or want. There’s no diversity of thought or deed.

California is an example of the fresh hell we’ll be frog-marched into if we let down our guard for even a moment. Vermont is the nearest fresh hell (to me), having let its guard down.

Unlike Libertarians and most Republicans (many of whom are more inclined to leave you alone), Democrats have a template. You fit in it, or you don’t, and there are consequences for the latter. If Colorado Democrats are onto something, it is here already or near to “here,” percolating in what passes for their narrow little minds of far-left zombies in elected office.

Massachusetts, for example, across my State’s southern border, has already sent a shot across its residents’ bow by asking citizens if they have room to take in some border-jumping illegal non-citizen entrants.

[Gov. Healey]  says Massachusetts has been spending around $45 million a month to help assist these families. The situation is so bad, the Healey administration is now asking people to open their homes and businesses to help people in need.

“Most importantly, if you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family. Housing and shelter is our most pressing need and become a sponsor family,” said Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll.

The problem is a declared state of emergency, which hints at the likelihood of COVID-esque demands, and now Denver is asking its citizens to open their doors (the way Dems opened our borders).

We’re now at the stage where people with extra room are being asked to host illegal migrants in their homes.

How long until this becomes mandatory? pic.twitter.com/6hmOXcwCEY

— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) May 6, 2024

A new push is encouraging people with “extra room” to host illegals in their homes.  They even set up a helpful hotline to expedite the process.

‘Hope Has No Borders’ is working to pair illegals with host families across Colorado, and this can now be expedited via a new hotline.

I found a Facebook Page and Website for Hope Has No Borders, but there is no record of any 990s yet—they may be too new for that. In other words, I could not trace their funding. This group is allegedly providing money for food and basics to Denver families who dial 211 and adopt illegal aliens.

I doubt they’ve raised a sum from donors to address any increased need, so who is paying for it?

Denver recently cut 8 million from their police and fire department budgets to address ‘migrant’ issues. Someone should take a look at where that went.

And while we wait, here is some additional advice that makes too much sense to be taken seriously: Stop bringing them in and start flying them out. Problem solved.

Or we keep doing this until the “government” tries to force us to take them in. They are

t technically soldiers, so the Bill of Rights prohibition won’t apply.

Any such demand will be contentious and likely result in ‘mostly peaceful protests’ that, combined with the self-imposed attrition among the FD and PD (at least in Denver), could produce some exciting results.

I wonder if Antifa – none of whom will voluntarily take in illegals, they are mostly 20 and thirtysomething taking up the extra space in their parent’s basement – will engage in violence against people who don’t step up? They, along with BLM, are the Left’s modern red shirts—Maoist Red Guard in black. And that’s the point. They don’t care about you or the illegals. The goal is civil unrest, even if they have to start it (again and again) themselves.

So volunteer … to drive them to the airport.

Just imagine where we’d be if Superintendents in New Hampshire were this focused on academic excellence in their public schools!!

Dear Superintendent Costa,

I was made aware of an incident that took place recently in the school district where one of the teachers sent a letter home to parents apologizing for what is now being described as a mistake. This mistake involved a spring concert where someone approved the theme “From the River to the Sea.” You were quoted in the Seacoast Online article saying it “was mistakenly chosen as the theme for Hampton Academy’s upcoming spring concert.”

Related: School District Has to ‘Retire’ Their DEIJ Director

Given the current events happening in the U.S. on college campuses, it’s shocking that the staff was not aware of this phrase, and no one else in the school caught it. You also mentioned that you took responsibility.

Maybe this was a mistake, but it does remind me of the time when you facilitated Hampton students meeting with BLM. You were gleeful on that first Zoom call when you helped BLM access Hampton students.

BLM has not hidden their vile statements, which also include the statement “From the River to the Sea.”

Screenshot

According to the American Jewish Committee:
This is a rallying cry for terrorist groups and their sympathizers, from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) to Hamas, which called for Israel’s destruction in its original governing charter in 1988 and was responsible for the October 7, 2023 terror attack on Israeli civilians, murdering over 1,200 people in the single deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. It is also a common call-to-arms for pro-Palestinian activists, especially student activists on college campuses. It calls for the establishment of a State of Palestine from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, erasing the State of Israel and its people. Another phrase “Globalize the Intifada,” which uses the Arabic word for “uprising” or “shaking off,” also calls for widespread violence against both Israelis and Jews across the globe (see “Globalize the Intifada”).

The position from BLM is very clear and is not one of neutrality where lives on both sides of this conflict are valued.

At Brooklyn pro-Palestine rally, calls to eliminate both Israel and US
At a pro-Palestinian, pro-Black Lives Matters demonstration in Brooklyn this week, participants called to eliminate the Jewish state as well as the United States, amid chants of “Death to Israel,” “Death to America” and “From Gaza to Minnesota, globalize the Intifada!”

Given your role in helping BLM access students in the Hampton district, I have to question what is going on under your leadership.

I have not seen any condemnation of this kind of hatred by anyone representing BLM. Why haven’t you addressed any of this with the community? By connecting students with BLM, you appear to be helping Hampton students learn this message of hate directed at Jews. I think it’s time to address what you have also done in this district.

Pursuant to the Right to Know Law (RSA, 91-1), I am requesting public access, within five business days, to the governmental records:

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has stealthily insinuated itself into ever-more influential positions at the United Nations, three experienced attorneys testified at a recent congressional hearing. furthering Chinese economic hegemony while chiseling away at Western human rights protections. Titled “The Chinese Communist Party’s Malign Influence at the United Nations – It’s Getting Worse,” the hearing before the House Subcommittee on Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations featured bipartisan whistle-blowing against one-party China.

Bringing differing perspectives to the hearing, the witnesses shared common insights to demonstrate that China has shrewdly employed financial diplomacy to secure key UN leadership positions to further its national economic interests under its “Belt and Road” initiative while reshaping international human rights toward more autocratic principles. The unflattering portrait of steadily growing Chinese influence over UN policy was less subtle than President Xi Jinping’s artful CCP policies.

“Xiplomacy”

The crafty term “Xiplomacy” was coined in China as shorthand for the wily CCP shift to “Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy.” The rise of Jinping to party leadership brought a change from China’s erstwhile “snapping turtle” defensive diplomacy to “wolf warrior” foreign policy. Neither the wolf nor turtle is featured in the Sheng Xiao (Chinese zodiac), but the clear imagery well reflects the current strategy of the nation often called the Red Dragon, the Middle Kingdom, or (as coined by Napoleon) the “Sleeping Giant.”

Following the CCP’s disastrous Tiananmen Square incident in 1989, the Western world cringed. Then-CCP-leader Deng Xiaoping advised his party leadership to “hide your strength and bide your time.” In recent years, Jinping has departed from this stealthy path to an increasingly aggressive foreign posture. China has steadily secured economic and raw materials footholds around the globe in its nationalist “Belt and Road” initiatives while an overconfident and self-focused America has gradually become the giant that fell asleep and lost its strength. The UN has served as an important fulcrum to advance China’s ambitious hegemony at the expense of Western economic, political, and humanitarian preeminence.

The Wolf Warrior in Sheep’s Clothing

The wolf warrior mantra resembles a “Make China Great Again” kind of nationalism. Former US Ambassador to the UN in Geneva Andrew Bremberg testified that he witnessed this foreign policy transition firsthand, asserting that it “… actively bends international norms to fit Beijing’s malign interest, at times specifically challenging the Western international order established by the U.S. and our allies following World War II.” Bremberg highlighted China’s use of financial contributions to the UN to “place Chinese nationals in key positions within the UN system, including specialized agencies, to quietly change the status quo.” The conclusion was that China has employed its Machiavellian UN infiltration to shape discourse and international norms to shield its own human rights abuses from scrutiny, fortify its economic ambitions and power, continue its theft of intellectual property and forced technology transfers, and counter transparency.

Ambassador Bremberg further emphasized that “the COVID-19 pandemic showed the world firsthand the consequences of China’s influence at the UN. China clearly failed to live up to its obligations under the International Health Regulations (IHRs).” Bremberg has previously criticized the proposed Pandemic Treaty, alleging that the WHO bent to political pressure from China during the COVID-19 outbreak:

“Former Ambassador Andrew Bremberg, the U.S. representative to the WHO during the pandemic, said at the Feb. 5 event that not one of the proposed agreement’s provisions under consideration would deal with the No. 1 issue: China’s lack of transparency and accountability. In 2020, earlier epidemiological data could have helped the U.S. and other countries understand the nature and scope of the outbreak sooner – and thereby respond more effectively.

“Another key concern is Article 18, which calls for combating misinformation through international collaboration. Critics say that could exacerbate the suppression of dissenting viewpoints, which conservatives see as systematized censorship.”

The International Political Battlespace

Former Ambassador to the United Nations Economic and Social Council Kelley E. Currie questioned “to what degree is [the CCP] using these institutions to expand their power and influence at our expense,” and concluded that “the more influence China has at the UN, the less likely the UN system’s activities will redound to the benefit of our or the world’s security, freedom, and prosperity.” Attorney Currie warned the Subcommittee sharply:

“….Xi Jinping’s approach to foreign policy is rooted in his conviction that ensuring regime security at home requires a proactive strategy abroad. As a result, China’s efforts to reshape the international political battlespace have grown exponentially in scope, scale, and sophistication over the past ten years.

“His comprehensive national security concept (总体国家安全观 zongti guojia anquan guan) does not 2 functionally distinguish between internal and external security. Rather, according to CCP sources, it encompasses “political, military, homeland security, economic, cultural, social, technological, cyberspace, ecological, resource, nuclear, overseas interests, outer space, deep sea, polar, and biological security issues, among others.” This everything, everywhere, all at once approach is deemed necessary because Xi and his colleagues believe the CCP party-state is under perpetual threat from hostile foreign forces whose true aim is to weaken China and derail the “Chinese Dream” (中国梦 Zhōngguó Mèng) of the “great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.”

“As CCP head, Xi Jinping has reinvigorated the Chinese Communist Party’s state security architecture and consolidated personal control over it to a degree unprecedented since Mao,” Currie alleged. She charged that Xi’s various global initiatives “represent an ambitious effort to reshape the normative and ideological underpinnings of the post-World War II global architecture to make the world more accommodating of CCP authoritarianism” wrapped up in an ideological bow as “China’s ‘gift to the world’ of novel solutions to the global challenges of economic development and international peace and security.”

Currie averred that the shift from turtle to wolf is an alarming threat to the world order, that leading members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have partnered with China in this effort, and that Chinese diplomats have sought to insert “community of shared future” globalist propaganda language into UN resolutions. She boldly charged that “Today, the party-state is aggressively promoting its funhouse mirror vision of human rights as superior to the ‘Western’ model.”

China Battling for the UN’s Soul

Equally strident warnings came from Suzanne Nossel, a magna cum laude graduate of both Harvard College and Harvard Law School who worked in the Obama and Clinton administrations and served as Chief Operating Officer of Human Rights Watch and Executive Director of Amnesty International USA. If Currie was cautionary, Nossel was a modern-day UN Jeremiah:

“….Beijing is using its sway within the world body to blunt criticism, shut out and stigmatize Taiwan, plug its Belt and Road Initiative, and dilute norms that might be used to hold it accountable.

“The UN has become an arena for contestation between democracy and autocracy. It is a realm that Beijing is taking seriously in its quest for mounting global dominion. …China is determined to reshape the UN in its image––one that downplays individual rights and emphasizes national sovereignty and noninterference in internal affairs.

“The UN has become a key testing ground for Beijing’s global leadership ambitions—and is not a stage China will surrender lightly. Rather than ceding ground as a consequence of ambivalence or political divisions at home over the role and credibility of the UN, the US should meet China at full strength on this global proving ground….”

Under the heading “Battling for the UN’s Soul,” Nossel concluded her powerful presentation with a list of proposed tactics the US must employ to counter the emerging Chinese wolf warrior. She counseled keeping current on UN dues, recommitting to the alliance, supporting US staff in advancement within UN ranks, and taking advantage of America’s position as host country, largest contributor, and “the driving force behind many of its most important initiatives and resolutions.” Her counsel to America was not stealthy, but straightforward: “China recognizes the latent power of the UN as a force multiplier for its interests across the world; we must do so as well…. The US should seize the initiative in shaping the UN for the future.

The post Night Cap: China Quietly Infiltrates the United Nations appeared first on Granite Grok.

Last night, I had dinner with an old friend, Nurse Michele, who had the same employer as Nurse Terese at the time she was launched into fame.  Because yesterday was May 6, I wished her a happy Nurses DAY and she corrected me that it’s Nurses WEEK.

I think somewhere along the timeline in history, the same thing happened with motorcycles in Laconia on a Father’s Day weekend.

Much can be said about the institution of nursing and appreciation for nurses, but that’s left to a nurse to take charge of.  I am NOT a nurse, and neither is Mrs Howard Pearl, an LNA formerly known as Heather Birch.  Did you know that the Damn Emperor nominated her to the Board of Nursing, and she was rubber-stamped in by the executive council?

Political favor?  You tell me.

It wasn’t the first time I consulted Meagan, the amazing EC secretary, to get some intel, and she delivered. I was told that the Board has a seat for LNAs. Fair enough, at least as it stands now in its current framework.  I knew she was a massage therapist and a good one, but I didn’t know she was a LNA.

I also learned (from someone other than Meagan) that she wants to go to nursing school. I wish her all the best, but I want to recognize some current nurses.  Please let it be known that the list is certainly not exhaustive, so hopefully no nurse’s feelings are hurt by not being mentioned.  It’s not a list based on professional excellence because I am not qualified to evaluate such things.  This is my own personal “naughty and nice” list of nurses that have a minimum level of name recognition in NH.  What makes them naughty or nice doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with their job performance AS A NURSE but their good or bad activism, dereliction of duty as a legislator, evil decisions as a bureaucrat, or other qualifying behavior.  Let’s wait no further and recognize them.

NICE:
Terese Bastarache, RN, nurse, arrested for saying “amen”
Rep Leah Cushman RN, removed by the Speaker for administering oaths.
Rep Katy Peternel RN, House Education committee member who flushed out RINO Brodie Deshaies in a Wolfeboro primary
Lynn L’Heureux RN, former school candidate and fighter against Mask Madness
Larisa Trexler RN, founder of Health Freedom NH
Candidate Hollie Noveletsky (nurse practitioner hoping to unseat the PappASS)
Hon Linda Camarota RN, nursing teacher and stolen 9/7/21 Bedford special election victim and future constituent of “Councilor Bastarache.”

NAUGHTY:
Lori Shibinette
Peggy Gilmour
Paige Beauchemin
Bobbie Bagley
Rep Sofikitis
Ruth Ward (nurse practitioner and senate sheeple)

And many lobbyists and bureaucrats that I asked Terese to name, but I’m not waiting for her response.

The post It’s Nurses WEEK appeared first on Granite Grok.

As the world looks on, the 2024 Presidential Race will not be the pinnacle of democracy. Americans want to believe we are still a superpower, not just militarily, but as an example of what a great country can be.

Many of us want America to be that beacon on the hill, while others want us to be a magnet for every illegal migrant who can find their way to our wide open borders. Instead of two quality individuals capable of being the leader of the free world, we have a current President who cannot remember when he was a Senator or how he became President and a former President who the current President is using his Justice Department to put behind bars. We have one candidate spending nearly every day in a courtroom and another trying to buy every vote he can. The Right and Left are locked in and immovable in their commitment to their candidate. And we have the middle of America, either ignorant of the issues or incapable of caring about them. In this upside-down world, this middle America will decide the 2024 election.

Unlike Presidential elections over the last seven decades, we have two men who have been President, and have records to compare and nobody can debate they are very different records and visions of America. Trump was bringing America back from the malaise of the Obama/Biden Presidency when the Pandemic hit. The economy was racing, IRAs were growing, inflation was low, jobs were plenty, we were energy independent, and the border was secure. He was able to put the Supreme Court in a position to overturn Roe v. Wade and put abortion back in the states. We were in a good place until COVID.

Biden used the COVID situation, and convinced the country that Trump was chaotic. The Democrats used Impeachment to perfection and with Biden secure in his Delaware basement, he managed a record 81 million votes to win the White House. Common sense will tell you that the vote total is bogus, but saying so will get you canceled quicker than a bad sitcom.

MAGA Republicans want Trump back to finish the job he started. Democrats do not want Biden, but they have no other choice. With these two camps secure, the battle is for everyone between these two groups. Trump’s numbers are increasing every week, and the court cases against him are backfiring. Biden and Harris are experiencing the worst approval numbers in history. Worse for Biden is the support he is hemorrhaging in usual Democrat strongholds. Blacks, Browns, Millennials, Gen-Z, and even women are losing faith in the aging lifetime politician. People are hurting in many areas, and you will have to search hard for anyone who claims they are in a better place under Biden than Trump.

States like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Virginia are showing signs of flipping Red. If true, this could be a Reaganessque-type election. There is still the possibility of Biden being replaced at the convention in Chicago. With the campus unrest still simmering, abortion and immigration pushed as Democrat strong points, and anti-semitism on the rise, Chicago may be a mess for Biden and the Left. The msm is being forced to cover events they have shied away from for three years, which will impact Independents. If the numbers can be trusted, Biden/Harris will not finish the destruction of America. Please God, let the numbers be true.

The post A Battle For Middle America appeared first on Granite Grok.

In keeping with my taxing things theme, this might be a good time to remind everyone, especially Republicans in the NH Legislature, that those among them who supported HB1002 (The public documents tax) can no longer argue for government transparency or accountability. They voted that right away.

And should it become law, you can no longer say, “When you tax something, you get less of it,” because that is true.

When the government attaches burdens in the form of fines, fees, or costs (a tax), you will get less of it. HB1002 allows municipalities to charge citizens for access to public documents. Citizen access to public documents is a legislative check on local executive power. The people are the legislature, and the select board, council, town manager, or mayor are the executive.

Given the power, The Executive will charge for access. In some cases, they will make sure there is a charge. In many cases, it will be prohibitive. In all cases, you will get less transparency and accountability.

You taxed it and will get less of it. If this were physics, it would be an immutable law, like how people most inclined to abuse power are drawn to it – the way pedophiles look for ways to be near children.

You can hide behind the notion that this was a necessary change to address the costs of complying with the right-to-know law, but what it does is make the entire process more complicated and labor intensive, and in the end, citizens looking to hold the government accountable will pay, either through their wallets or the decreases in accountability.

 

 

 

 

 

The post HB1002 and Transparency: If You Want Less of Something, Tax It! appeared first on Granite Grok.

The most important takeaway from the “campus protests”? That colleges are radicalizing, versus educating, young adults? NO, NO, NO. Anybody paying the slightest bit of attention already knew that colleges have been indoctrinating Woke-Communism for, not years, but decades. That’s yesterday’s news as in last century’s news.

No, the most important takeaway is how organized the Left is and how fractured and disorganized the supposed “Right” is in America versus the Left. The “Right’s” idea of “organizing” is setting up a Facebook page that consists mostly of complaining and “woe is us.” The Left, in contrast, in the blink of an eye can manifest “protests” throughout America.

And this lack of organization on the “Right” has devastating consequences. It is unarguable that the 2020 election was stolen … and stolen as in not just from Trump, but more importantly from the voters who voted for Trump. The steal succeeded because the “Right” was caught completely flatfooted whereas the Left was not.

The “Left”, with the unwitting or perhaps witting help of UniParty-GOP-quislings, had a plan to normalize the rigging of the 2020 election and carried it out flawlessly. Pointing out obvious problems with the way the 2020 election was conducted (as but one example, the many last-minute unlawful changes to voting practices in swing-States) made you an “election denier”; any protesting made you an “insurrectionist,”  etc., etc., etc..

The “campus protests” are just a small taste of what is in store not if, but when, the 2024 election is also stolen. The Left will burn America to the ground to keep power … in the blink-of-an-eye BLM, Antifa, the “college protesters,” etc., etc., etc. will be unleashed on any legitimate organic protests of the sham election. And the resulting mayhem and chaos and destruction will, of course, be blamed by the Regime-media on Trump and his supporters, on the rationale that they caused it by refusing to accept that Biden won the election, justifying intervention by the FBI and other “law enforcement” against any legitimate organic protests of the sham election.

That, my dear bitter-clingers, is the most important takeaway from the campus protests. So while you may not like … indeed may despise … the message/goals of the “campus protests,” you need to admire and respect the Left’s ability to manifest them.

What Happened to their Babies? – by Karen Kingston (substack.com)

Pfizer’s FDA submitted data documented that the some of the babies and toddlers experienced fevers of greater than 104 degrees Fahrenheit, seizures (with eye rolling), convulsions, and seizures lasting more than 5 minutes and multiple seizures a day -sometimes a dozen or more, brain damage confirmed by an EEG, hypotonia (limp ‘lifeless-like’ baby), and lissencephaly (“genetically-induced” brain malformation characterized by the absence of convolutions/folds) in babies and toddlers injected with mRNA nanoparticles.

There are no words in any human language sufficient to capture how much I hate pharma for this.  And their pets in government.  But even more so for the people – nurses, doctors, and even parents – who saw this happening and stayed silent.  From here:

Israel is preparing to take their battle to obliterate Hamas to Rafa, and this does not sit well with Joe Biden. Even though an aid package for Israel has been approved by Congress and signed by Biden, the President is withholding military equipment from our number one ally in the Middle East.

Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the campaign into Raffa today and sent a subliminal message to Joe Biden. Without mentioning the decision by Biden, Netanyahu told the world that they will continue their mission even if they have to do it alone. Joe Biden is destroying our relationship with Israel, and it is inexcusable but explainable. Joe Biden is more concerned with votes in Michigan than the safety and sovereignty of Israel. Joe Biden should be impeached for abandoning Israel, and where is Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish member of Congress, with a condemnation of Biden’s actions?

Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have been trying to micromanage Israel’s retaliation against Hamas. As I have written previously, neither of these men is in any position to tell any country how they should handle their military strategy. Biden has political pressure to get Israel to cease this conflict as soon as possible. That is not what Israel needs or wants. They want Hamas gone, just like we wished to have Al-Qaeda gone after 9-11. If any country had attempted to restrict our efforts, we would have told them precisely what Israel is telling us. Thanks, but we have this. Now, get out of our way.

Joe Biden has Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) looking over his shoulder, and he is petrified of her power base in Michigan. Biden already experienced Tlaib’s influence with the Michigan Primary. Tlaib got over 100,000 Democrats to vote for “Anyone except Biden.” If Biden does not appease Tlaib and she pulls the same trick out of her bag for the Presidential election, Biden could very well lose Michigan to Trump.

Tlaib and her followers support Palestinians and want an end to this conflict. They are not concerned with the Hamas invasion of October 7 or the attacks of Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel. Monday was Holocaust Remembrance Day, which recognizes the end of the genocide of Jews by Hitler. At that time, the world pledged, “Never again.” According to Benjamin Netanyahu, “Never again is now.” With this declaration, Netanyahu is committing to all Israelis that Israel is intent on destroying any future threat from Hamas.

Some of Biden’s most lucrative sponsors also fund these illegal encampments and college protests nationwide. Biden is between a rock and a hard place, or to be more specific, he is between votes/money and the best interests of Israel and America. Biden has no spine and concentrates on retaining power and office. He has to get these situations under control before the DNC Convention in Chicago this summer. If not, the optics will harm him badly. When he finally spoke out on the campus unrest last week, he condemned antisemitism but also anti-Islamic words or actions. There has been no anti-Islamic activity in these campus actions, and he was covering all bases. What it showed was weakness.

Biden has to make a decision. He is either going to shut down these college actions and support Israel or satisfy his critics. Even considering a choice is not presidential, and that is why he should not be given a second term.

Comment: Three and a half years later and the “truth” that most on the right already knew is being told. What are we to do when Washington is so corrupted that this type of activity is actually orchestrated from the White House and the ABC agencies? The bigger question is will there even be an election this November? What do the powers that be have in store for us this go-round? Will it be another plandemic? Will it be martial law declared to cancel the elections? Or will the puppets find a way to lock up or otherwise eliminate Trump? This is going to be the year that determines the fate of our entire existence as a sovereign nation.

This might be a great Town Hall forum question for Democratic candidates. “Is there any problem you can’t fix with a new or higher tax?” I want a list, please, but I sense it would look like that redacted FDA document—a bunch of blank pages. While true, Dems do believe this; they don’t want to admit it publicly.

The government spent a lot of taxdollars to ‘cure’ COVID, and that cure was worse than doing nothing. There ought to be a lesson in that, but no one seems to have learned it, at least not in Massachusetts (Taxachusetts, Massghanistan). They keep electing candidates who think every problem can be solved with another tax.

Governor Maura Healey’s $4 billion housing bond bill, the state’s biggest-ever investment in its residential stock, includes a provision allowing cities to impose a transfer fee of 0.5% to 2% on property sales exceeding $1 million. The revenue generated would go toward affordable housing projects.

Bloomberg’s headline uses the term Mansion Tax. Have they been to Massachusetts? Peabody, MA, has an excellent multifamily rental for sale for $1.25 mil. A four-bedroom, three-bath, 2300-square-foot home can cost more than a million.

In some towns, you can’t get a three-bedroom two, two-bath ranch for less. Mansions? Seriously?

Supporters, including Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and leaders of more than 15 other municipalities, see the transfer fee as a critical tool to address a growing shortage of affordable housing. State Housing Secretary Edward Augustus says Massachusetts needs 200,000 more homes to keep pace with population growth.

“This policy is a win for local governments, but most importantly it is a win for renters and homeowners who have otherwise been priced out,” Augustus said in an e-mailed statement.

Democrats are also convinced that the tax will produce something other than well-fed camp followers once collected. It also makes Mass less desirable, a place to live and invest for people who can barely afford that 2300 square foot home.

Critics argue that the additional tax would burden commercial property developers already facing high vacancy rates, particularly in office buildings, and could lead to a decrease in overall real-estate tax revenue. Vacancy rates for office space are on the rise in Boston, Cambridge and surrounding suburbs as remote work trends persist. According to Colliers’ first-quarter market analysis, occupancy in Boston’s office market has hit its lowest point since 2010.

Oh, look – a solution!

COVID killed office space leasing, which Bidenomics made worse. Massachusetts’s State-of-emergency Alien Invasion problem is at the heart of the affordable housing rants (or is it the million-dollar 2300 sqft housing problem)? Taxpayers are already paying to put the invaders up in whatever space the state can find (it has even asked residents to house Biden’s invading army in their own homes.

If Developers are unhappy, they should convince the state to use the Mansion tax to rent out the empty office space or, here’s an idea: put them on planes and send them to a country that speaks their language and honors their customs. That would cost a lot less, reduce chaos, and you wouldn’t need a new tax.

But we wouldn’t want any of that, would we?

A non-wordy, non-meme post.  Somewhat linky.  This is a one-hour, 44 minute video by Bill Whittle; wide ranging.  Essential.  Each time I watch it I have a deeper understanding of what he’s saying and the grave danger we’re in as a country and civilization.  But before you watch it, consider this:

Biden plans to import the Death to America voting block – Flopping Aces

Biden’s Hope to Bring Gazans to the USA | Frontpage Mag

And Barackus’ open border policy in general.  (OOPSIE, did I say that out loud?)

What is Biden’s endgame in bringing in terrorists? – American Thinker

And then pay attention to Bill’s comment about “Silk Robed Sons-of-Bitches”…

And one other thing to pay attention to – our youth being under the asymptote.  Wanting a little suicide for excitement.  You need to re-ponder the “Death to America” chants on many campuses.

And cue up my three-part series on what I see as the biological roots of civilizational collapse as a weighty conclusion:

Many people don’t understand what mining is and what the principle of mining is, especially now that most people no longer use traditional mining (using mining machines), but enter cloud computing mining. Especially newcomers who have just started know little about mining.

Are there still opportunities for blockchain cloud mining?

The main form of obtaining digital currency on the blockchain is through mining nodes, which continuously consume their own computing power, which means continuous mining, in exchange for Bitcoins, which is what we usually hear through hash operation collisions. Obtain accounting rights and rewards; because the Bitcoin system is completely open source, in the Bitcoin system, the mining difficulty of the entire network node can be dynamically adjusted through its own algorithm, ensuring that every 10 minutes or so, in the Bitcoin network, There will be a node that successfully mines; once someone mines successfully, the Bitcoin system will reward that person with a certain number of Bitcoins. This amount is also controlled by the algorithm. From the beginning, each person who successfully mines will get 25 Bitcoins. The reward will be reduced by half every four years; that is, the reward for successful mining in the next four years will be 12.5, the reward for the next four years will be 6.25, and so on.

The best choice for newbies who believe in the charm of cloud mining

For investment novices who want to get involved in cryptocurrency assets, it is recommended to carefully study the basic knowledge of blockchain and crypto assets before officially starting. You are not required to understand all concepts, but at least establish a superficial knowledge of this industry. After all, investment must first be based on a correct understanding of the investment target.

If you are an investor who believes in the concept of value investing, investing in Bitcoin is still a good thing from a dynamic perspective.

For newcomers to Bitcoin investment, perhaps new energy cloud computing power mining is also a good choice! The easiest way to do this is to get the cleanest Bitcoin. As an investor for more than ten years, I recommend choosing a large platform with strength and credibility. For example: A large platform like BluestoneMining has 6.5 million users, more than 75 mining farms, and 100,000 mining equipment. Use new energy to generate electricity. Through wind energy, solar energy and other green recyclable electricity, there is no energy consumption, and excess electricity can be sold to the grid, thus generating ultra-high profits.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s famous words, “The line between good and evil runs through the human heart,” should haunt the minds of leftwing American voters; citizens proud of their hatred for our Second Amendment.

Their disdain for our right to bear arms is exactly the same as the United Nations and all other communist blood brothers throughout history. As history once again repeats itself, they demonstrate the same evil strategy that flows through the veins of all dictators. Mao Tse-tung voiced it with utmost clarity: “All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns; that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.” Inverting reality, evil in man’s heart pulls the trigger. Gun control is people control.

Ever since America has been a member of the UN, this inversion of reality has been the determined policy of the United States government. Gun owners, especially, should take note of this root cause behind controlling all firearms. Consider President John F. Kennedy’s speech before the UN General Assembly, surrendering the command of guns to the UN, called: “Freedom From War: The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World.” Passionate gun owners should know its content: “I … propose on the basis of this Plan, that disarmament negotiations resume promptly, and continue without interruptions until an entire program for general and complete disarmament has not only been agreed upon but has actually been achieved.” Included were disbanding all armed forces except for internal order, the UN peace force, and elimination of national arsenals – weapons of mass destruction and means of delivery.

The John Birch Society was wise to State Department Document 7277- Disarmament in A Peaceful World. Birchers fervently questioned Washington congressional delegations. Asking, why an American president would promote submission to the UN Charter above the Constitution with which he had sworn an oath? Why would he participate in implementing a global program to surrender all firearm ownership of the individual and completely disarm our military power? Shortly thereafter, their requests for Document 7277 was answered: “out of print.” The JBS responded by publishing 7277 themselves. Copies are available at ShopJBSj.org.

We cannot ignore the UN’s historical prejudice against firearms that is portrayed in a sculpture of a pistol with a knotted gun barrel in front of UN headquarters. Guns insure liberty. Senator Mike Lee and Rep. Chip Roy have introduced S. 3428 and H.R 6645, The Defund Act to withdraw U.S. from United Nations and all its agencies. Don’t let The UN trojan horse keep their gun in the back of American liberty. Check out this four minute video on UN absolute power that can only happen when they have all weapons!
