Power Over Principles
Despite what most Republican and Democratic politicians say publicly on immigration policies, both are mainly concerned only with whether or not it will affect their political power. The perception has been that more Hispanics means more future Democratic voters, which is of course why Dems couldn’t care less about securing the border or enforcing immigration laws, and why Republicans throw the word ‘amnesty’ around to destroy any potential compromise on reform. But immigrants are no different than U.S. natives in that how you govern will determine if they support your political party or not. We’re seeing this firsthand demonstrated by President Select Biden, whose incompetence has managed to flip the traditional support:
Maybe politicians should concentrate on principles when setting their policies? 🤔 The vast majority of Americans agree on how immigration should be handled. That is, secure the border, crack down on illegal immigration, and streamline/increase legal immigration to help American businesses (who desperately need the workers) as well as unfortunate foreigners looking for a better life (and who are willing to work for it).
The Chinese government is truly the center of evil in the world, and the fact that no one on the Left will speak a single ill word about them tells you everything you need to know. Make no mistake, the Chinese people didn’t choose this oppressive government. Control of the population has been maintained by constant surveillance, censorship, social credit systems, and ruthless punishment of dissenters, as you’re currently seeing in Shanghai. Still, this wouldn’t control a population of 1.4 billion without a culture of obedience bred into the education system over the past 60 years, including the #2 selling book of all time (after the Bible), Quotations from Chairman Mao.
No worries though, people in Western democracies would never make the same mistakes. 👌

Cancel Culture in Science
We’ll all seen the cancel culture formula in action. The Ruling Class establishes politically correct thoughts and actions (which change on a regular basis). Then, if any celebrity, professional athlete, or politician goes outside this control box, the cancel culture army is mobilized–mainstream media attacks & humiliates, social media sites are bombarded with attacking posts, Big Tech censors posts & suspends accounts, and very often the guilty party loses endorsements & jobs. Result: you not only get rid of the common sense free thinkers, you keep the rest of the population in line since they themselves don’t want to be cancelled.
People don’t realize the same type of cancel culture is firmly entrenched in the science/medical community. Think about why people go into any science field. It’s usually one of two reasons: 1) Do research to find or enhance scientific solutions, or 2) Enter some kind of helping profession like medicine. In both cases, reputation is critical. Who is going to go to a doctor with a reputation as an anti-science quack? And what good is scientific research if no one will listen to your solutions? In other words, it doesn’t matter if you find a cure for cancer if you can’t get the funding to support distribution and can’t get published in prominent journals to spread the word. On top of that, every helping profession requires some kind of state and/or federal license to keep working.
With all that in mind, think about how easy it is to “cancel” a scientist or health professional. Who controls professional licenses? The government. Who controls research funding? Almost entirely–the government, big pharmaceutical companies, and rich leftist donors like Bill Gates. Consequently, if you don’t go along with the narrative, you’re research funding, your reputation, and your ability to continue working are all in peril. Of course, it’s even worse nowadays with Big Tech’s ability to remove your posts, suspend your accounts, bury your research websites, or label everything you do as “misinformation.” We’ve seen this throughout the Covid era. Monoclonal antibodies, Hyrdroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, and a long list of other possible solutions to Covid have been cancelled by Fauci, the CDC, the WHO, and the FDA. Talking about natural immunity earns you smears such as anti-vaxxer. Government & Big Pharma Covid narratives change on a weekly basis, but if you don’t go along 100 percent with the current recommendations, the scientific cancel culture mobilizes to destroy you.
There is no one in the world better at scientific cancel culture than Dr. “I AM SCIENCE” himself, Anthony Fauci, as well as his Legion of Doom partner, Bill Gates. The two of them together have directly or indirectly had control of 90+ percent of medical & scientific research funding the past few decades. Now the two of them, through their Big Tech partners and media enablers, also have overwhelming control over Covid messaging. Fauci has been using scientific cancel culture going all the way back to the AIDS epidemic. Treatments and alternative theories were suppressed. Reputations were destroyed. Research dollars were cut off. Anti-narrative free thinkers were blacklisted by science & medical journals. Fauci has so refined his cancel culture power that he is now feared like a Mafia Don.
I will again recommend the book, The Real Anthony Fauci, if you want to learn more. You might want to grab it before it’s scrubbed from the Internet like every other anti-Covid narrative discussion.
