Last week, Americans learned that Twitter was censoring reports that BLM’s Patrisse “I’m a trained Marxist” Cullors, and her “black, queer, and gender-nonconforming” spouse (seeming a genetic female) had purchased a $1.4 million home in a chi-chi predominantly white section of Los Angeles. That story was a twofer, showing both how Twitter is using censorship for political ends and how corrupt the Black Lives Matter movement is. The story got even better when it emerged that Cullors bought four houses, not just one.

It’s very important as you contemplate what you’re about to read to remember that Cullors is a Marxist. Not just any Marxist, but a “trained Marxist”:

The essence of Marxism is hostility to capitalism – that is, to the acquisition of individual wealth. Marxism envisions a society in which all property and the means of production are publicly owned and in which all possessions flow from a constant and complete redistribution of goods. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” as Marx said.

This focus on wealth means that there are no people more obsessed with money than Marxists. Think about it: Capitalists are obsessed with creating goods and services and then hope that wealth will flow from that creation. Most have dreams that go beyond merely pouring dollars into bank accounts.

Marxists, however, aren’t interested in creating things of value. Instead, they’re completely obsessed with squirreling away and spending the big bucks. Invariably, the leaders and their inner circle in Marxist/socialist political systems achieve extraordinary wealth. And invariably, these people don’t attain their wealth by building something worthwhile. Instead, their money comes from skimming a substantial percentage of every penny that their men with guns forcibly seize from the people.

And that brings us to Patrisse Cullors. In 2020, Black Lives Matter raised $90 million. The claim was that the money would be used to help blacks struggling with the unending burden of systemic racism. (I tend to think that their unending burden is that they engage in self-destructive, learned behaviors because the Democrat party assures them that they’re perfect just the way they are). So far as I know, Black Lives Matter has done little to nothing to improve the condition of impoverished blacks.

Cullors, however, has apparently done something profitable to improve her condition. We know this because it turns out that she didn’t buy one house – she bought four! The New York Post explains:

As protests broke out across the country in the name of Black Lives Matter, the group’s co-founder went on a real estate-buying binge, snagging four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US alone, according to property records.

Patrisse Khan-Cullors, 37, also eyed property in the Bahamas at an ultra-exclusive resort where Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods both have homes, The Post has learned. Luxury apartments and townhouses at the beachfront Albany resort outside Nassau are priced between $5 million and $20 million, according to a local agent.

You must check out the Post article to get a sense of Cullors purely capitalist buying binge, which includes a custom ranch on 3.2 acres in Georgia complete with an airplane hangar.

As of now, I don’t believe anyone knows where Cullors got the money for her buying binge. It could be the rewards of fame (speaking gigs, mostly) or she might have gotten a very generous salary from her BLM work. (As a friend noted, you’ll never meet a Marxist who says, “Pay me only X and give the rest to the people.”)

Still, given Cullors’ proximity to that $90 million cash haul, some people find her sudden wealth is suspicious. No wonder, then, that at least one BLM chapter wants to find out what’s going on:

Hawk Newsome, the head of Black Lives Matter Greater New York City, called for “an independent investigation” to find out how the global network spends its money.

“If you go around calling yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of her own personal money is going to charitable causes,” he said. “It’s really sad because it makes people doubt the validity of the movement and overlook the fact that it’s the people that carry this movement.”

Donald Trump made his money by developing properties that people wanted to buy and made his fame by getting things done in good order and under budget. He willingly sacrificed 1/3 of his wealth to serve the people of the United States of America. Patrisse Cullors made her money by denouncing wealth and then spending vast sums on herself. Yet Trump is the one half of America reviles.

In autumn 2020, a Muslim mother claimed in a video in Arabic that her then four-year-old daughter had been raped at the St. Martin Catholic day-care centre in Koblenz (Rhineland-Palatinate).

After gynaecological examinations of the child, it was soon clear: the accusations were not tenable, the child had not been abused!

Too late: tens of thousands had already watched the video (with German subtitles) and expressed their hatred against the only male educator, the kindergarten itself and the investigators. After death threats, the kindergarten employee was given police protection. The kindergarten was closed for a fortnight.

According to Koblenz Attorney General Jürgen Brauer, the proceedings are about hostility, especially on the internet – they range from defamation to public incitement to murder: “In 30 proceedings, we have filed an application for the issuance of a penalty order, ten proceedings of which have been legally concluded. Fines of up to 100 penalty units were predominantly imposed/applied for.”

In another case, the public prosecutor’s office brought charges, seven cases were referred to other German public prosecutor’s offices and one to authorities in Austria.

37 preliminary proceedings were dropped, 15 are still pending. In 46 cases, no perpetrator could be identified.

According to Koblenz Attorney General Jürgen Brauer, no preliminary proceedings have been initiated against the girl’s parents for faking a crime: “At present, it must be assumed that the parents are convinced that abuse of their child has occurred. The parents have left Koblenz. Their whereabouts are unknown.”

In the clip, the mother had spoken of her daughter being raped by several men, videotaped group sex and beatings of children.

For the educator, the time was an absolute nightmare, parents bombarded him with three more criminal charges based on false accusations.

Among other things, the police advised him to change his name and move abroad. He became unable to work and ended up in a psychiatric day clinic suffering from depression. Later he suffered a heart attack.

The 44-year-old wants to remain anonymous, says about the other accusations: “For example, I am supposed to have collected children with a camper van and recorded porn with them.”

According to Katholischer KiTa gGmbH Koblenz, “a daily work routine is gradually developing in the facility that is comparable to the time before the stressful events”: “The staff have become more vigilant and sensitive due to the threats and the temporary closure of the day care centre.”Accordingly, they continue to be provided with professional support.

A member of the Austrian Parliament for the FPÖ [Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs], the Austrian Freedom Party has called out a woman named Emer Cooke, a former lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry who is now on the board of the EU agency that regulates medicines — including the notorious AstraZeneca “vaccine”, which is currently at the epicenter of a major controversy.

MP Gerald Hauser FPÖ noted that the European Medicines Agency is responsible for monitoring and evaluating medicines in the EU, and is also responsible for their approval.

Before there was even any discussion about vaccinations and the approval of vaccinations, a certain Dr. Emer Cooke was appointed on November 16 2020 as the chairwoman of the EMA, responsible for a budget in 2020 of approximately €306 million.

The review process of the European Medicines Agency regarding medical issues has been criticized for its lack of transparency and issues of conflict of interest. In a rebuttal of an EMS review that included her work, Louise Brinth, a Danish physician, noted that “experts” reviewing data remain unnamed and seem to be bound to secrecy. Minutes are not released and diverging opinions are not reported suggesting that all the “experts” are of the same opinion. In her view the process is unscientific and undemocratic.

The Agency decentralises its scientific assessment of medicines by working through a network of about 4500 “experts”. One these “experts” is Lynora Saxinger. According to her Twitter profile, she “offers informed Covid-19 opinions in media”.

“Any one who has a history of blood clots might have an increased risk of blood clots at any point anyway,” Saxinger, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, declared in a recent CBC News interview on the safety regarding the AstraZeneca vaccine.” But I don’t believe that there would be a rationale to make a recommendation against using [the vaccine],” she added.

This may present a huge conflict of interest because “91 percent of this [EMA] budget comes from fees paid by the pharmaceutical companies,” Hauser pointed out. “And if you now look at the CV of Dr. Emer Cooke, since 1985 she has been working in various positions in the pharmaceutical industry. It is interesting to note that from 1991 to 1998 she was a director of the FBA.”

The FBA happens to be the lobbying organisation for the largest European Pharmaceutical Conglomerates. Cooke lobbied for eight years for the Big 30 of the European Pharmaceutical Industry.

“Her clients were Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Novatis, Johnson and Johnson, and so on and so forth,” according to Hauser. “So, this Dr. Emer Cooke, who was appointed in mid-November of 2020 to the EMA board has, all her life, worked for the pharma industry. She has lobbied in an executive capacity for the pharma industry and is now responsible for the approval and for the control and the efficacy of vaccines like AstraZeneca“.

Hauser believes that this is a prime example of “outright insider deals, outright nepotism [and] bribery”. He added: “Please think about this when in future you use the EMA as proof of the correctness of the testing of medical drugs.”

His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, the able and admired consort of Queen Elizabeth II, has passed at the age of 99. Britain is honoring him with 41-gunsalutes, flotillas, special lighting, eight days of mourning, and tributes from all over. The New York Times has a great photo spread of his well-lived life. The Daily Mail came out with its fattest edition ever.

This Brazilian soccer player’s tribute is beautiful — there at the moment of his own soccer victory, he chose instead of honor Prince Philip. These non-British soccer players honored him, too. That’s so different from the disrespect for the U.S. coming out of the million-dollar ball players that’s going on over here.

President Trump, unlike the Brezhnevian-Chavista election thief who succeeded him and made one of the classiest tributes of all.

“The world mourns the passing of Prince Philip, a man who embodied the noble soul and proud spirit of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth,” Trump said in a statement.

“This is an irreplaceable loss for Great Britain, and for all who hold dear our civilization,” he said.

“Prince Philip defined British dignity and grace. He personified the quiet reserve, stern fortitude, and unbending integrity of the United Kingdom,” he said.

Biden in contrast offered only banalities, and in the Obama tradition made some of his so-called tribute all about himself, effectively saying he admired the prince because the latter’s age made him look less old by comparison. Ugh.

The estimable Nile Gardiner, a former aide to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, wrote this flawless summary of the duke’s admirable life for Fox News, which included fighting actual Nazis with distinction and bravery. His love and devotion to his wife was legendary — at 73 years of a happy marriage, he died a model for all men. He also was loved for his bluntness and political incorrectness — the Daily Mail has curated a striking sample here. There was no malice, though, Gardiner noted in his piece that he had a “jovial” manner. All the so-called politically incorrect gaffes seemed perfectly intentional yet he also knew how to make fun of himself.

But a racist, as Meghan Markle claimed someone in the royal family was? Plenty of eyes went to him, but knowing he was dying and had the public’s sympathy, the Markle team later denied that the alleged family racist was the prince or the queen, putting the onus on the rest of the family, which few, in Britain at least, believed, according to Gardiner.

Recalling the prince’s life was like a breath of fresh air. Did anyone know about his difficult family background, with an adulterous father and a saintly but mentally unstable mother, in what he called a ‘nomadic’ early life, and how he overcame it? Did anyone know about his distinguished war record fighting actual Nazis as well as the imperial Japanese? Did anyone know about his charity work and his ineffable devotion to duty? Did anyone recall his stalwart devotion to his wife, his very British stiff upper lip, his seriousness about duty to country, and his stately, classy, gentlemanly demeanor? He was always sort of in the background, based on media coverage. But he was always there and always representing with honor his country.

Who’s been the face of the British royal family lately? Why, none other than Meghan Markle and her adjunct, the wretched Prince Harry, who follows her around and goes along with her whims like a beagle. Unlike Prince Philip, Prince Harry abandoned his duty, arguably abandoned his country, ignored his family’s wishes to strike out on his own, (except with his daddy’s money) and generally went with selfishness. He now pursues the celebrity lifestyle in Los Angeles, complete with Oprah interviews and Netflix deals, all in the end not to advance the cause of Britain, but to advance the increasingly politicized agenda of Meghan. Blech.

Prince Philip was said to be the most upset with Prince Harry for walking out on his royal duty and with Meghan for leading him. Prince Philip, after all, had given up his promising career as a military man to be the queen’s consort, and embraced that role like the giant he was. He was asking of Harry and Meghan only what he had asked of himself, and consistently lived by example. Meghan, though, wasn’t about to give up her actress career for a mere life as a duchess and its “boring” royal-family duties. She reported said it “wasn’t working for me” and dragged Harry off to the celebrity lifestyle and red carpets back in Los Angeles.

Behind this kultursmog from the press which obscured the reality of the hard-working and dutiful, patriotic royal family, there still stood people like Prince Philip. It seems it now took death for people to take stock in who he was and what he did in a well-lived life that spanned nearly a century. In contrast, Meghan with all her press lackeys, looks kind of small, kind of icky, and distinctly unfit.

Azad M. has been imprisoned in the cantonal prison in Frauenfeld since March 2021. The Federal Criminal Court had sentenced him to 70 months in prison, they considered him guilty of involvement in a criminal organisation.

But even in prison, the former prayer leader of the Winterthur An’Nur mosque seems to remain committed to his beliefs. Because he used the telephone calls authorised to him to call for murder, among other things, as the newspaper “Tages-Anzeiger” reported.

In February, for example, he allegedly instructed his brother in Germany “not to let a person get away”. Because the conversations were monitored by an interpreter, he was then warned off. Things got serious during a phone call this March, when he tried to give instructions to his mother in Iraq on how to deal with the death of his nephew: After beginning his sentence: “Mum, tell them to let him…”, the phone was snatched out of his hands, but he still managed to call out that someone should “go to this man and let him perish”, reports the “Tages-Anzeiger”.

The 53-year-old Iraqi has been living in Switzerland since 1998. From here, he is said to have provided logistical and financial support to the IS terrorist militia. After serving his sentence, he is to be expelled from the country for 15 years. In addition, according to various media reports, he has threatened to have his wife killed if she divorces him. The marriage has since been divorced.

Both Azad and the prosecution disagree with the sentence of 70 months imprisonment, and both plan to appeal the verdict to the next instance.
