When ideas become too dangerous to platform
Posted By: Christopher L, 5/14/2025 7:10:46 PM
Economist Professor Gigi Foster delivered a TEDx talk titled THE MANIPULATORS’ PLAYBOOK at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in October 2024. It was a bold examination of how, in times of crisis, fear and conformity can be deliberately harnessed by those in power to manipulate public behaviour and silence dissent. Her message was a call to defend the freedom to question, to challenge authority, and to think independently. But when the video was submitted to TED’s US headquarters for publication on the organisation’s official YouTube channel, it was rejected.

By all accounts, even those of liberal media outlets, the Democratic National Committee is broke. Under the leadership of chairman Ken Martin, the DNC is facing a full-blown financial crisis. But how did it come to this? Well, donor flight is one part of the answer. Since President Trump and J.D. Vance took office in a historic victory, the DNC's once-reliable donor class has slammed the brakes on contributions. But the bigger story, and one the mainstream press won't touch, is that a critical pipeline of cash has been shut off: the massive taxpayer-funded slush fund known as USAID.
The “genocidal” Israelis seem determined to confuse us. They confuse us when they provide first-rate medical treatment to Mahmoud Abbas (for whom an Israeli cardiologist made hushed-up house calls to Ramallah) Every day, thousands of Israeli Arabs are treated in Israeli hospitals by Jewish medical personnel; none of them appear to worry about becoming the victims of “genocide.” Since October 7, 2023, dozens of Gazan Arabs have been treated in the Sheba Medical Complex, while thousands have been helped by Israel to travel to third countries for treatment. Does that sound like a policy of “genocide” to you?
The tyrannical Colorado Secretary of State (SOS) Jena Griswold never dreamed that justice would catch-up with her for the unspeakable wrongs she perpetuated against Tina Peters and the American people over the last few years.
Stolen elections are the most significant control point of stealing a country and imposing tyranny upon its citizens. Just ask citizens in Brazil, Venezuela, and even South Korea. The tables in America however have turned due to the methodical actions of the new DOJ and FBI leadership
In a jailhouse visit marked by resilience, revelation and restrained emotion, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters offered a window into the chapter of her life that has largely unfolded behind bars. “They didn’t think there was a chance in hell I’d have that evidence still,” Peters said. “But I had it.” She was referring to the Signal chat screenshots introduced during her trial – screenshots the prosecution reportedly didn’t expect her to possess. According to Peters, it was her two early attorneys who insisted on taking her phone and iPad. “Trust us,” “You’ll thank us later.” They were right.

INDIANAPOLIS - the Borg-Wiener Trophy at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to the Wienermobile affectionately known as Slaw Dog. In a down-to-the-wire race among the six iconic Wienermobiles that serve as goodwill ambassadors for Oscar Mayer, the hot dog-on-wheels representing the Southeast proved to be the big dog It made a dramatic pass of the Wienermobile repping Chicago at the finish line to win the inaugural Wienie 500 on Friday. The margin was about a half a bun.
Former Mesa County Clerk and Gold Star Mother, Tina Peters, is sitting in prison right now for preserving her own election records following the 2020 election before Dominion Voting Systems and Colorado Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, could come in and erase them. Peters was following state and federal law to preserve those records.
Trump’s DOJ has filed a statement of interest in Peter’s case, and President Trump himself has called attention to the fact that the persecution of Tina Peters is nothing more than Democrats covering up their own election crimes
The owner of a California dry cleaner is showing those down on their luck that the community wants them to succeed—so he’s ensuring they look their best as they get ready for their next big break.
After talking to fellow owners of dry cleaners about how they could give something back to their communities, he decided to offer speedy cleaning and pressing of clothes for free to any unemployed customer heading to a job interview.

When free speech and election transparency collide with political pressure, citizens are often caught in the middle. Mesa County residents and national election integrity advocates gathered virtually on April 24 to rally support for Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk and recorder now incarcerated at La Vista Correctional Facility in Pueblo, Colorado. Speakers emphasized concerns about free speech, election transparency and due process, urging a respectful call to action aimed at Colorado Governor Jared Polis.
Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., has discovered a never-before-seen algorithm in the Wisconsin Election Commission’s (WEC) voter registration database, leaving no doubt someone has penetrated the WEC’s computer system to impose a criminal reordering on the voter files. [T]he WEC voter role had an unusually high number of voter records that ended in zero. records ending in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 should appear with equal distribution. voter records ending in zero occurred in 30.6 percent of the voter records, numbers 1 through 9 ended with each number appearing equally at 7.7 percent of the time.
If you think the American Medical Association (AMA) is a credible group of doctors in white lab coats, think again. The AMA is a private trade association that wields vast influence over medical practices in this country, has found a government-mandated way to line its pockets, and promotes a radical trans agenda. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. needs to eliminate the AMA money grab to protect our families.

President Trump is the G.O.A.T. - the greatest president of my lifetime, and by the end of his 2nd term, I’m betting he will be seen as the greatest president of all time. So far, what he has accomplished in only 2 1/2 months is amazing, unimaginable, and breathtaking. In 2 1/2 months, he has already achieved more great things than my hero Ronald Reagan did in eight years! But there is one thing Trump should be focused on above all else. President Trump must prove the 2020 election was stolen, bring the hard evidence to the American people, and charge the Democrat party with RICO.

Harvard University students can learn about the “political mastermind” of Stacey Abrams this semester in a class that explicitly says it is taught through a critical race theory lens. “From First Lady Michelle Obama to political mastermind Stacy Abrams to Vice President Kamala Harris, Black women have left their stamp on 21st-century politics and grassroots organizing,” the course description for “Race, Gender, and Law through the Archive” says.[snip] The course will also teach about the role of “non-binary” activists in the 20th-century.

Bryan Kohberger has been in Idaho’s maximum security prison for nearly two weeks, and one detective says he’s already losing it.
Placed in “J Block” for his own protection, “Banfield” has learned Kohberger’s fellow hardcore offenders are going out of their way, as far as they can, to make the notorious newcomer miserable.
His fellow inmates have been taking turns shouting through the air ducts, all day and all night, to keep Kohberger from sleeping at night or even hearing himself think during the day. “The good news is the inmates apparently were waiting for him,” said Chris McDonough, director of the “Cold Case Foundation” and a retired homicide detective.

Because, of course they do…

More Americans than ever are choosing not to drink alcohol, according to a new Gallup Poll.
Only 54% of respondents to Gallup’s annual Consumption Habits survey conducted last month say they consume alcohol, which is the lowest on record in nearly 90 years.
"This coincides with a growing belief among Americans that moderate alcohol consumption is bad for one’s health, now the majority view for the first time," Gallup said in a press release.
New figures out of Austria are positively horrifying.but it would be less of a problem if real Europeans were having babies at equal or greater rates than the third world welfare louses hunkered down in. Brooke writes that “the country’s demographic composition is changing rapidly,”
From a new report by Thomas Brooke at Remix News yesterday:
New figures show that women from Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq living in Austria have an average birth rate almost three times higher than that of Austrian-born women, according to data from the country’s Statistical Yearbook on Migration and Integration.

His career is toast.
A DC man who hurled a Subway sandwich at a federal agent on the streets of the capital earlier this week has been identified as a now-former Justice Department trial attorney.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday that Sean Charles Dunn, 37, who is facing a felony assault charge for the sandwich strike, has been fired from his DOJ role.
“If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you,” Bondi declared. “I just learned that this defendant worked at the Department of Justice — NO LONGER. Not only is he FIRED, he has been charged with a felony.”
Sometimes you can’t help but wonder: how do the progressive scolds who constantly shame everyone else for routine actions ever get out of bed in the morning with the burdens they carry? They worry they’re using too much water to brush their teeth, they can’t take a vacation because the emissions from the car or plane will cause the demise of us all, and the CO2 they emit with each breath spells disaster.
They constantly fret over the consumption of meat, the use of everyday household appliances that make our lives better, and any other progress that has brought our civilization into the 21st Century.
Another round of car break-ins happened overnight Wednesday in Minneapolis, bringing the total number of vehicles damaged in the city to roughly 475 since July 14. At least 125 vehicle owners are dealing with broken windows after this latest round that occurred in parts of northeast and south Minneapolis. Neighbors near Northeast Main Street and 11th Avenue Northeast say seemingly every window was smashed, with dozens of vehicles hit. They also say thieves targeted the same area just three weeks ago.

George Soros turns 95 today, and for his birthday present America brought him the annihilation of his legacy.
Soros has been known for two things: making money and spending it on political influence. Over the last few years, he has handed over control of his empire to his son, Alex, and Alex seems unable to do either of those things successfully. [Snip] The second election of Donald Trump—in a race where crime, immigration, and the IRA were three of the major issues—was America’s personal slap to George Soros’ face. Today, on his 95th birthday, his legacy is in shambles.
Happy Birthday, George!
A city-run grocery store in Kansas City that was propped up by more than $18 million taxpayer dollars has closed.
Sun Fresh Market opened in 2018 in the city-owned Linwood Shopping Center. Part of a Community Improvement District, the shopping center received a multi-million-dollar renovation budget about a decade ago as part of the city’s sprawling revitalization efforts on the east side.
But after months of bare shelves, severe crime problems that Kansas City has spent additional money to curb, and what one reporter described as a “rancid odor” connected to improper drain maintenance, Sun Fresh has shut its doors.
