INHUMAN: NYT Props Up Mass Elderly Suicide Idea to Solve Japan’s Aging Population

The New York Times showcased an apparent disregard for human life when it chose to legitimize the idea of mass suicide as one “drastic” method to deal with Japan’s aging population. The Times pushed the extremism of Yale University Assistant Professor of Economics Yusuke Narita, who apparently doesn’t mince words. “‘I feel like the only solution is pretty clear,’” Narita reportedly stated during a 2021 online news program. “‘In the end, isn’t it mass suicide and mass ‘seppuku’ of the elderly?’ Seppuku is an act of ritual disembowelment that was a code among dishonored samurai in the 19th century.’” The Times ...

The Committee for the Republic seeks to restore Congress as the exclusive custodian of the war power under the U.S. Constitution. Since the Korean War, American foreign policy has operated extra-constitutionally featuring presidential usurpation and congressional abdication. The price has been staggering—not only in the squandering of trillions of dollars and lives lost but in the annihilation of liberty and the rule law. Committee salons also explore the funding necessary to finance the wars that earmark an imperial presidency. The Federal Reserve is the rich uncle of war finance. Central banking is a cornerstone of government power under any monetary standard. But it is a lead actor ...

The city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine underwent heavy Russian artillery fire on February 13 in what seemed like a prologue to a key new offensive as the first anniversary of the conflict approaches. Ukrainian soldiers, who have been defending the city for months, are ready for new ground attacks, according to Ukrainian military officials. Click for Full Text!
Electric Truck Manufacturer Featured in Super Bowl Ad Got $186 Million in Taxpayer Subsidies

Over 100 million people watch the Super Bowl each year, more than any other single broadcast. Commercials that run during the game therefore command a high price: During this week's Super Bowl, a 30-second ad cost between $6 million and $7 million. One 60-second spot titled "Premature Electrification" humorously addressed concerns about how far electric vehicles (E.V.s) can go between charges. In a parody of a pharmaceutical ad, actor Jason Jones spoke to viewers worried about being "unsatisfied" by an E.V. if it was "unable to last as long as you'd like." The solution: a Ram 1500 REV pickup truck, manufactured by Big Three automaker Stellantis ...

There's only one way to add an Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution

IT WAS a running joke in the early days of NBC's "Saturday Night Live." Chevy Chase, the news anchor for "Weekend Update," would announce the night's top story: "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead." Like the late Spanish autocrat, the Equal Rights Amendment is also still dead. Approved by Congress in 1972, it was sent to the states with a seven-year ratification deadline, only to die when the clock ran out in 1979. Just 35 of the required 38 state legislatures had ratified the amendment, so it never became part of the Constitution. Yet some members of Congress now insist that the ERA didn't fail and actually was ratified. Or, to be ...

A Republican congressman last week highlighted an oft-overlooked threat to the privacy of all Americans: The federal government's practice of purchasing citizens' private market data (PMD) from data brokers without a warrant. Rep. Kelly Armstrong (R–N.D.) raised the issue at the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government's inaugural hearing. "The federal government has realized the value of the massive amounts of commercial consumer data that is freely available on the open market," Armstrong said. "Combine [the amount of data available] with the advance in technology like [artificial intelligence], facial recognition, and more, ...

Police Accountability is a “Non-Starter” Without Discarding the Qualified Immunity Doctrine
Post Date: 2023-02-14 19:26:44 by Charles_Byrd

Some reps in Congress assert that dismantling qualified immunity (“QI”)— a police officer’s so-called good faith defense to a civil rights lawsuit—is a “non-starter” in negotiations to pass the George Floyd Civil Rights Act. In reality, meaningful police accountability is a non- starter without discarding QI. QI is a regressive framework which has turned federal civil rights lawsuits into sheer games of chance with bad odds. Under QI, the Supreme Court instructs judges to apply a two-pronged analysis, in a specific order: first to examine whether the right sought to be vindicated was clearly-established at the time, and second to examine whether the ...

Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said over the weekend that NATO countries should hold an emergency summit over the sabotage of the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines after a report from journalist Seymour Hersh said US Navy divers planted explosives on the pipelines. “There have been plenty of facts: pipeline explosions, motives and indirect evidence obtained by journalists. So when will an emergency NATO summit gather to analyze the situation?” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, according to the Russian news agency TASS. Click for Full Text!

India is currently the seventh-largest country in the world with the largest youth population. There are many elements that make this country unique, the foremost being diversity—diversity of culture, race, ethnicity, and linguistics. India faced an era of colonialism under the British, who would take raw material from India at cheaper rates and import the finished products. India and Nigeria are both countries that gained independence from Britain in the same period, but India is now rising much more effectively than Nigeria. Indians saved their culture and their religion but adopted the technologies of the West, whereas Nigeria adopted Western culture and religion but failed to ...
Jefferson Was Right: The SOTU Address Should Be Written, Not Spoken

The absurdity of those State of the Union Speeches. Like many political traditions accepted as unchangeable or timeless by Americans, the State of the Union Speech is neither required nor wise. First of all, the constitution merely states that the president "give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient." It doesn't say anything about this information being conveyed in a speech. Naturally, Washington gave these addresses as speeches because he liked that sort of thing, and Adams used speeches because he was obsessed with the pomp of government power. Thomas Jefferson, on ...

The nightmarish Deep State vision for the future is more horrific than most can even imagine as technology advances, warns author and The New American publisher Dennis Behreandt in this episode of Behind The Deep State with host Alex Newman. Behreandt, who wrote the new book End Game: Covid and the Dark State Quest for Bio-digital Convergence in a Transhumanist World, starts off by sounding the alarm about the "elites" and their radical views on overpopulation. He proceeds to discuss the "singularity," where technology reaches unpredictable heights. And he details some of the terrifying technologies already in use or development that promise to bring about changes that ...

European countries’ bill to supposedly protect households and companies from rising energy costs has risen to nearly €800 billion, researchers said on Monday, asking countries to be more intentional in their spending to combat the energy crunch. European Union (EU) countries have presently allocated €681 billion in energy crisis spending, while Britain earmarked €103 billion and Norway €8.1 billion since September 2021, based on an analysis by think-tank Bruegel.

Why Is It So Hard for Congress To End a War?

March will mark 20 years since the United States launched its invasion of Iraq, and with it a wave of catastrophic choices that continue to plague American foreign policy. It took a little over a month for President George W. Bush to declare victory over Saddam Hussein's forces and announce the continuation of a reconstruction mission. But the end of the war wasn't really the end of the war. That's true in the context of Iraq, where the U.S. occupation helped exacerbate violence and instability for nearly nine years post-Saddam. It was true procedurally, too; to this day, Congress has not repealed the authorization it passed to allow the president to invade Iraq in 2003. Click ...

Lifeless bodies pulled from ruins, roads and bridges ripped apart, entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble — these are the classic earthquake images. The latest come from Turkey and Syria, which were devastated by a fierce quake on Monday. Turkey, with a thriving economy, a well-organized state, and rich Western friends, is well equipped to rush relief to victims. In Syria the situation is quite the opposite. Syria has been under crushing economic sanctions for more than a decade. War has destroyed its cities and forced millions from their homes. Foreign forces occupy its most productive land. The economy has collapsed. Cholera is spreading. Hunger looms. Yet any person or group that ...

Congress will block a major weapons deal and could levy new sanctions on Turkey if the country follows through on threats to block Sweden from joining NATO, according to Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.). “There’s no scenario where the F-16 sale goes through without ratification by Turkey [of Sweden and Finland’s NATO bids],” Van Hollen said at an Al- Monitor event in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.
