Report for European Parliament challenges OPCW’s Syria cover-up

A new report offers the most thorough exposé to date of the OPCW’s Syria cover-up scandal, in which the world’s top chemical watchdog manipulated an investigation to baselessly accuse Syria of a chemical weapons attack in the town of Douma. In April 2018, after dozens of dead victims were filmed at the scene, the US, UK, and France alleged that the Syrian government had dropped gas cylinders on Douma and launched airstrikes in purported retaliation. But leaks from inside the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons show that international inspectors found no evidence of a chemical attack, raising the possibility that the incident was staged by the insurgents ...

Local police have discontinued their investigation of a U.K. woman who was arrested in March for the alleged crime of silently praying outside an abortion clinic — a “crime” for which she had just been acquitted. Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, director of March for Life UK, was confronted by police while silently praying outside a Birmingham abortion clinic on March 6. Video of the incident, posted online by ADF UK, which supported her legal defense, showed a policeman telling her to “step outside the exclusion zone” around the clinic — an area the Birmingham City Council designated to be free of all impediments to the so-called right to kill one’s unborn ...
‘Republicans for Ukraine’ Ad Says Ukraine War Is Good Because It ‘Weakens Russia’

A new group formed to rally GOP support for Ukraine released an ad this weekend that said US spending on the war in Ukraine is good for the US because it “weakens” Russia. The ad was made by Republicans for Ukraine, a campaign launched by Defending Democracy Together, an organization led by neoconservative Bill Kristol. The effort comes as support for arming Ukraine is waning among GOP voters, with a recent CNN poll finding 71% of Republicans were against Congress authorizing more Ukraine aid. Click for Full Text!
Economics is really hard

Science writers like to suggest that anyone can understand the intuition behind theories such as special relativity and quantum mechanics, if only they will read this book, or that essay. Don’t believe them—I’ve tried. At best I get a bit of the intuition behind relativity, and none at all behind QM. Yes, I hear the words, but I don’t understand enough of the underlying physics and mathematics for the words to form a coherent picture in my mind. I’m too dumb. Some economists believe that the public can understand why protectionism is bad, or why price controls hurt consumers, if only the ideas are explained to them in clear language. I doubt it.

House Speaker Reverses Course, Will Add Ukraine Funding to Defense Bill

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced on Saturday that the House would vote on a Pentagon funding bill that includes aid for Ukraine. Initially, the Congressman said the $300 million in aid for Kyiv would be voted on separately from the annual Department of Defense spending bill. Congress is seeking to pass spending bills before funding for the government runs out at the end of the month. Politicians are warning that if legislation is not passed by then Washington will enter a “government shutdown.” Despite the connotation, most of the American government will continue to function even if Congress does not provide funding. Last week, the White House announced that ...

Anne Frank snared in graphic K-12 books controversy

In an interview on Fox Business’s Varney & Co., Campus Reform Higher Education Fellow Nicholas Giordano weighed in on the controversy surrounding a teacher’s firing for reading a graphic adaptation of Anne Frank’s diary to eighth-grade students. Giordano criticized American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten for distorting the story and making it appear as if book bans were taking place in schools. He argued that the graphic adaptation “weakens and cheapens” the story of Anne Frank, and that eighth graders should be reading the original text to engage in critical thinking. Giordano emphasized that the issue could have been easily resolved by ...

Two weeks ago, the California Legislature passed a new excise tax on the sales price of all firearms, firearm precursor parts, and ammunition.

The bill was introduced by anti-gunner and Everytown and Giffords supporter, Democrat Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel of District 46, who has mentioned on his website, "We must ban the sale of assault weapons and stand up to the NRA. In the State Assembly, he'll fight for tough gun control laws to help prevent mass shootings and keep our kids safe." ...

Longtime migrant workers are disgruntled with new waves of arrivals to New York City who they say are undercutting them — claiming anyone hiring them should “get the f—k out of here”. City data shows over 116,000 migrants have flocked to the Big Apple since last spring and most are making ends meet working in the illegal underground economy — many while still living rent-free at taxpayer-funded hotels and shelters, as the New York Post exclusively revealed.

FDR’S CENSORSHIP REGIME

Considerable attention has been paid to the 1950s Red Scare, McCarthy, and the notorious Hollywood Blacklist. But almost nobody is aware of a liberal censorship regime that was in place just a few years earlier. In 1942, President Roosevelt consolidated several government propaganda agencies into a single hub, the Office of War Information (OWI). OWI enjoyed huge power over what Americans saw in movie theaters. OWI head Elmer Davis said: “The easiest way to inject a propaganda idea into most people’s minds is to let it go through the medium of an entertainment picture when they do not realize they’re being propagandized.” Staffed almost exclusively by progressive New ...

At a recent press conference, Senate Minority Leader and sometime living statue Mitch McConnell insisted that all the U.S. funds spent on the Ukraine War are worth it because they help boost the U.S. economy. McConnell was, perhaps unwittingly, admitting is that the Ukraine War is a means by which lawmakers can funnel taxpayer dollars into the pockets of weapons manufacturers. Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger speak with former Marine intelligence officer Scott Ritter about how the Ukraine War has put back into production all types of weaponry that defense contractors hadn’t manufactured for many years.
