When Tolerance Is EVIL

By Selwyn Duke

“Must We All Be Always Tolerant?” asks commentator Hugh Fitzgerald. Writing at Jihad Watch, what inspired his question was the reaction of British lawmaker David Amess’s family to his October 15 murder.

Amess, 69, was stabbed 17 times by a Somali Muslim while meeting with constituents in a Methodist church in Leigh-on-Sea in southern England, in what authorities consider a terrorist incident. In response to this, Amess’s family said in a statement released via London police, “Whatever one’s race, religious or political beliefs, be tolerant and try to understand,” reports Reuters.

Report: UFOs Have at Times Made Our Nuclear Weapons “Inoperable”

By Selwyn Duke

It’s not exactly The Day the Earth Stood Still, but the idea is similar: Humans are so irredeemably warlike that extraterrestrials, or some superior force, has taken measures to forestall our destructiveness. In fact, stated a U.S. Air Force captain who was once in charge of 10 nuclear missiles that he says were rendered inoperable by UFOs, “he believes they were delivering a message to humanity.”

This isn’t a story everyone is comfortable talking about. But such reports and UFO phenomena in general have gotten increasing press as of late.

Crushing Dissent: Government Gets VDARE Event Canceled by Withdrawing Police Protection

By Selwyn Duke

“It is one thing to refuse to provide police protection. It is quite another to announce far in advance that police protection will not be provided.” So wrote dissenting 10th Circuit judge Harris L. Hartz in the case of VDARE Found. v. City of Colorado Springs, addressing how in 2017 a resort canceled a VDARE event it had booked — after its city, loosely speaking and in the mafia sense, made it an offer it couldn’t refuse.

The “Equality” Blues: Feminists Cry Foul When Boys’ Netball Team Wins Girls’ Tournament

By Selwyn Duke

Gosh, has anyone ever really believed in Equality™?

The Queensland Suns won the Nissan State under-18 netball tournament last month, and the wrath of many, by easily defeating seven other teams. The issue? The Suns are sons — not daughters like the rest of their competitors.

DOJ, School Boards Using “Communist Tactics,” Says Mom Who Survived Maoist China

By Selwyn Duke

We’ve heard the warning from a Venezuelan actress. We’ve heard it from Cuban émigrés. And now we’re hearing it from a Virginia mother who lived under mass-murderer Mao Tse-tung’s Marxist despotism:

The United States is following a well-worn path to tyranny.

“When I was in China, I spent my entire school years in the Chinese Cultural Revolution, so I’m very, very familiar with the communist tactics of how to divide people, how they canceled the Chinese traditional culture and destroyed our heritage,” Xi Van Fleet told Fox News.

“All this is happening here in America,” she then stated.

Did a Scary New Nuclear-capable Chinese Hypersonic Weapon Take U.S. Intel by Surprise?

By Selwyn Duke

“We have no idea how they did this.” It’s not comforting that the preceding was uttered by a United States source in reference to an alleged new Chinese weapon: a hypersonic missile. But Beijing now claims it didn’t develop anything unusual, stating that what we detected circling the Earth this summer was a spacecraft.

In other words, our powers-that-be were caught flat-footed, mistook a spacecraft for a missile, or were for some reason lying.

The Fed’s Legalized Counterfeiting Is Spiking Prices, Impoverishing You, and Enriching a Few

By Selwyn Duke

If “a person is ever charged with counterfeiting, he should tell the judge he was engaging in monetary policy,” quipped the late economist Walter E. Williams. This comes to mind when pondering the 21st-century government habit called “quantitative easing.” Most Americans have probably heard this term, but may not know that it amounts to weasel words. It’s a euphemism — something you say when you don’t want to say what you really mean — sort of like using “pleasingly plump” instead of “fat.”

As for quantitative easing (QE), it actually means creating money backed by nothing; it’s legalized counterfeiting.

If you want to know why consumer prices rose at their fastest rate since 2008, 5.4 percent year over year in September, realize it’s no mystery. Some will blame greater demand due to Americans returning to “post-pandemic life” and labor shortages, and these may be immediate factors. But the big picture — and it is the big picture because it has become status quo — is that our government can create dollars at will.

Ex-Google Exec: By 2049, Artificial Intelligence Will Become “God” — and Master of Man?

By Selwyn Duke

More than a century ago, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote about the coming Übermensch, or superior man, and the “death” of God. Now Silicon Valley a-theologians predict the Singularity, the point at which artificial intelligence (AI) surpasses human intellect. Not only is this development less than a decade away, they say, but what they outline sounds like a science-fiction movie plot:

By 2029, artificial intelligence (AI) surpasses human intellect. Twenty years later, ultra-intelligent machines become a billion-fold smarter than even the cleverest among us, making the man-AI intellectual chasm like that between a fly and Einstein. That this will happen there is no doubt (barring the end of the world or the onset of some profoundly dark age), but, well, this is where it gets sticky. Does AI become an almost omnipotent, practically omniscient servant in the hands of oh-so flawed man?

Or does it somehow achieve self-awareness and, perhaps, become master?

In point of fact, one ex-Google executive “likens this digital creature to an ‘alien being, endowed with superpowers,’ which has already arrived on Earth in larval form"....

2030 Doom? With Beijing Dominating AI, Our Sleeping “Woke” Generals Invite Chinese Conquest

By Selwyn Duke

“Whoever leads in artificial intelligence in 2030 will rule the world until 2100.” So wrote the Brookings Institute in January 2020, echoing the warnings of so many. Thus should we be more than alarmed that the Pentagon's former software chief — who just resigned in protest over our military’s stunted technological development — has said that cyber defenses in parts of our government are at “kindergarten level.”

Nicolas Chaillan, who left the Department of Defense earlier this month, said he departed “because he could not stand to watch China overtake America,” writes the Financial Times (FT).

“In his first interview since leaving…Chaillan told the Financial Times that the failure of the US to respond to Chinese cyber and other threats was putting his children’s future at risk,” the paper continues.

 “‘We have no competing fighting chance against China in 15 to 20 years. Right now, it’s already a done deal; it is already over in my opinion,’ he said, adding there was ‘good reason to be angry,’” the FT also related.
