There’s a lot to be said about the modern experiment of popular government, all that jazz about 'Government of the people, by the people, for the people.’ Obviously it doesn’t really work like that, and it doesn’t really work for the Common Good—but who has an alternative at this point, that we would risk adopting?
I think the criticism of Rogan illustrates the point I am trying to make about the conventional wisdom. People don't like it when you buck the conventional wisdom. "Russia bad. Ukraine good" or "Hamas bad. Israel good."
Therefore, Mike Benz doesn't have a differing opinion. He must be branded a liar, on the Russian payroll or a spreader of misinformation.
Yeah, kind of knew all that. But who do these people really work for? I will tell you--they work for the Money Power. They give the Deep State some slack to accomplish the institutional consensus but that's not really what it's about. The Money Power would just as soon kill you as look at you. That's what the scamdemic is for. I am tempted to call Benz a limited hangout.
There is nothing wrong with the agencies of our government working to enforce our own laws in service to our own citizens. Relationships with other governments should be of secondary consideration and should be utilized as best possible to accommodate our own needs. This is the same way they would operate to serve their own needs. Why should we bend to them? Especially when they have proven incapable of controlling criminality within or without their own borders?
The phrase "the conventional wisdom" comes to mind. Newcomers to bureaucracies either fall in line, leave or become known as gadflies, troublemakers or eccentrics.
Years ago, maybe in the mid-1960s, the conventional wisdom, at least among the media and intelligentsia, moved left. There's been a harder tack to the extremes that occurred under Clinton, snowballing under Obama and Biden.
As movements usually seem to go, they pushed too hard, especially with transing kids and DEI. The election was a repudiation, at least for domestic politics.
While I lean right politically, I am learning that so-called conservative media also needs to be approached with a trust but verify approach.
Specifically the court denied a motion to dismiss, meaning the case goes forward toward ultimate trial. Interesting theory--the idea is that Target violated securities law by failing to disclose to shareholders that it was engaging in queer activism that could harm share price:
BREAKING: Today, a federal court ruled that Target may have violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose the risks tied to its LGBTQ activism.
This one could be an interesting bellwether on ESG vs. actual corporate governance as we old-schoolers once knew it. I haven't represented public companies for the last 15-20 years, so it's long been perplexing to me as to how in the world shareholders were NOT suing the hell out of directors for going so off-mission on all these recent social-engineering crusades in clear violation of their fiduciary duties to drive shareholder value. Then I remembered that the BlackRocks, Vanguards and State Streets of the world were the 'whales' of any potential derivative suits, each of them ESG darlings. Will be interesting to see, with these whales now backing off ESG to some degree, whether corporate law makes a comeback.
Biden is considering pardoning Dr. Anthony Fauci, according to Politico.
Biden's White House is reportedly discussing preemptive pardons to protect certain people from being "targetted" by President-elect Donald Trump.
Names on the list may include Dr. Fauci, Adam Schiff, and Liz Cheney, according to the outlet.
"The West Wing deliberations have been organized by White House counsel Ed Siskel but include a range of other aides, including chief of staff Jeff Zients," Politico reported.
Yeah, no kidding. There needs to be an all out effort to paint the Biden presidency as illegitimate and any and all pardons by Zhou be reversed. Any further actions that appear to be boxing Trump in or allowing the criminals to escape accountability should awaken everyone. Stuff like this is how cities burn and countries implode.
Joe Rogan appears to be falling out of favor with some…. https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-joe-rogan-gets-ripped-apart-online-entertaining-pathological-liar-mike-benz-s-ukraine-comments-podcast-a-moron-kremlin-payroll
Every criticism should invite a certain amount of exploration and examination. That is a good thing in the marketplace of ideas, I think.

How many conflicts can we sustain?
We are depleting our supply rapidly as we provide munitions to Ukraine and Israel.
Does Congress have a say?

Wow!
"Elections are a threat to democracy". That's as Orwellian as it gets.
Fits right in:

The blowback on the Fauci one would be huge.
Ed Siskel another Zionist lawfare guy?
