  • How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: Bill Gates, a Summay by Scott Campbell

    MARCH 28, 2021 Why Zero? · Greenhouse gases capture and hold onto heat which results in a warmer earth. The more gas, the more heat, the warmer we get. · Once atmospheric residents, greenhouse gases become long term tenants, staying as long as 10,000 years. · Underground carbon from compressed plants forms fossil fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas. · Burning fossil fuels spews out carbon, which traps heat. · “Zero” means “Near Net Zero.” Ideally we achieve Net Zero and then start to reduce what’s leftover—a “Net Negative” solution. A Little Is a Lot · Just a few degrees change in planetary temperature might produce catastrophic consequences. The last Ice Age reigned at just six degrees cooler than today,. · The dinosaurs had a planet just four degrees warmer. · Historic geographic locations which experienced more of a change, because of varying levels of soil moisture, hold up to forty percent of our population. · Methane and nitrous oxide join carbon dioxide as the most common greenhouse gases. · Greenhouse gases are measured and discussed as “Carbon Dioxide Equivalents.” · Greenhouse gases do not absorb sunlight, but they do absorb some of the energy re-radiated from the earth. What We Do and Don’t Know · Although we understand the physics and chemistry behind global warming, we don’t fully understand why and how it affects climates. · Computer models need to be improved. · We do know that the net effect of global warming in the long term will not be good. · Since pre-industrial times, say before 1850, we’ve already elevated the planet’s temperature by one degree Celsius. By 2050, it might be between 1.5 and 3 degrees, and by 3000, between 4 and 8 degrees. Ill-effects · Climate change appears to make more intense and wetter storms. It creates floods and hurricanes because of excess moisture entering the air from too much warmth. · Climate warming creates more devastating and more frequent wildfires because warm air soaks up moisture from the soil and plants. · Sea levels rise from melting polar caps and general expansion and hit the poor the hardest by crop and home destruction and drowning. · Climate change kills wildlife and plants and some crop production, and therefore is laced with loss of income. Heat makes cows and chickens less productive which drives up prices on dairy, meat, and eggs. Fish die or migrate. Coral reefs die. · Climate change may favor harmful insects like mosquitoes, and in new locations. · Heatstroke becomes more common. · Climate change drives mass migration away from poor countries into richer ones. · Climate change could be as deadly as COVID was by 2050, and by 2100, five times worse. Coping and Solutions · Adaptation: Minimizing the consequences of climate change. For example, anticipating that the world’s poorer farmers will suffer the most, take steps now to help them with flood and drought resistant crops. · Mitigation: the most rich and industrial countries must mitigate their production of greenhouse gases. Gates predicts that the best zero-carbon entrepreneurs and companies will eventually be the financial leaders. Ever wondered what Bill Gates prefers on his burgers? If he could still write the code that made him a billionaire? Or what he thinks about being targeted by weird COVID-19 conspiracy theories? Wonder no more. Mr Gates held his ninth Reddit AMA — Ask Me Anything, for the uninitiated — and covered a whole lot of "meaty" ground, as the Microsoft co-founder put it himself. Here's the best of what he had to say. Gates is super into synthetic meat right now While his focus is on fighting climate change (he's just published a book about it), Mr Gates spoke a lot about how important synthetic meat is key to solving the challenge in the years ahead. Asked what "niche technology do you believe could play a significant role in the future in the battle against climate change?" Mr Gates said: "We need a lot of technologies — synthetic meat, energy storage, new ways of making building materials… We want to be open to ideas that seem wild." Subscribe at www.summaries1000.com, first page, to get some freebies. $2.49-$2.99 Audiobook: $2.99- In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical--and accessible--plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions--suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach. “I wrote How to Avoid a Climate Disaster because I think we’re at a crucial moment. I’ve seen exciting progress in the more than 15 years that I’ve been learning about energy and climate change. The cost of renewable energy from the sun and wind has dropped dramatically. There’s more public support for taking big steps to avoid a climate disaster than ever before. And governments and companies around the world are setting ambitious goals for reducing emissions. What we need now is a plan that turns all this momentum into practical steps to achieve our big goals. That’s what How to Avoid a Climate Disaster is: a plan for eliminating greenhouse gas emissions. I hope you’ll check out the book, but much more important, I hope you’ll do what you can to help us keep the planet livable for generations to come.” - Bill Gates REVIEWS: “The most comprehensible explanation for what’s driving our warming planet; how to measure the impact of the myriad contributions to this staggering and seemingly incalculable problem; and ultimately how to go about finding more effective approaches to each of them. It’s the closest thing I’ve seen to a how-to guide for addressing the climate crisis.” —Clinton Leaf, Fortune “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster presents ideas with the methodical approach of a college textbook . . . Remarkably, given the state of the world, it is an optimistic, can-do sort of book, chock-full of solutions.” —Christina Binkley, The Wall Street Journal Magazine “The most refreshing aspect of this book is its bracing mix of cold-eyed realism and number-crunched optimism . . . Ultimately his book is a primer on how to reorganise the global economy so that innovation focuses on the world’s gravest problems. It is a powerful reminder that if mankind is to get serious about tackling them, it must do more to harness the one natural resource available in infinite quantity—human ingenuity.” —The Economist “The author’s enthusiasm and curiosity about the way things work is infectious. He walks us through not just the basic science of global warming, but all the ways that our modern lives contribute to it . . . Gates seems energized by the sheer size and complexity of the challenge. That’s one of the best things about the book—the can-do optimism and conviction that science in partnership with industry are up to the task.” —Richard Schiffman, The Christian Science Monitor “With the help of experts in fields such as physics, engineering, chemistry, finance and politics, the technologist and philanthropist offers a practical and accessible plan for getting the world to zero greenhouse gas emissions and averting climate catastrophe.” —Barbara VanDenburgh, USA Today “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster is clear, concise on a colossal subject, and intelligently holistic in its approach to the problem. Gates may not be the perfect messenger, but he has written a fine primer on how to get ourselves out of this mess.” —Adama Vaughan, New Scientist “Bill Gates has a plan to save the world . . . While acknowledging that the challenge is daunting, and how we make things, grow things, move around, keep cool and stay warm will all need to fundamentally change, Gates argues that wholesale transformation is possible while maintaining lifestyles in high income countries and continuing to lift billions out of poverty.” —Greg Williams, Wired “His expertise . . . is apparent in the book’s lucid explanations of the scientific aspects of climate change. The solutions he outlines are pragmatic and grounded in forward-thinking economic reasoning. Although he does not avoid the hard truths we must face as our climate changes, Gates remains optimistic and believes that we have the ability to avoid a total climate disaster.” —Miriam R. Aczel, Science “Concise, straightforward . . . Gates has crafted a calm, reasoned, well-sourced explanation of the greatest challenge of our time and what we must change to avoid cooking our planet.” —Jeff Rowe, Associated Press “A persuasive, optimistic strategy for reducing greenhouse emissions to zero by midcentury . . . Though Gates doesn’t shy away from acknowledging the daunting challenges ahead, his narrative contains enough confidence—and hard science and economics—to convince many readers that his blueprint is one of the most viable yet . . . supremely authoritative and accessible.” ––Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Those looking for an accessible review of how global warming can be countered will find this a handy—and maybe even hope-inspiring—guide.” ––Publishers Weekly “Gates has put his considerable wealth behind global health, educational, and economic initiatives and now turns his laser-like attention to this most existential of issues . . . He provides illuminating contexts for [his] perspectives and offers a treatise that is imperative, approachable, and useful.” ––Booklist --This text refers to the hardcover edition. Read more

INTRODUCTION: CLEAR'S TOUCHING STORY James Clear loved baseball and made the varsity team as a sophomore in high school. His dad played in the minor leagues and they enjoyed a great connection through baseball. Although Clear loved baseball, baseball didn’t always love him back. On the final day of his sophomore year, James Clear suffered an injury that would change his life forever. At baseball practice, a batter let his bat slip out of his hands, and it flew at high speed to hit Clear right between the eyes, fracturing and flattening his nose and damaging his brain, skull, and memory. The blow hit with such force that his eyeball came out of its socket. A series of predictable seizures would follow. Post-traumatic seizures loomed as a given. Clear found himself in a helicopter in a rush to the same large hospital where his sister had undergone successful chemo-therapy. They called in a priest. The doctors decided to place Clear in a coma and hooked up a ventilator to begin his treatment. His improvement in breathing patterns the next day permitted release from the coma. When he began to recover, he experienced double vision. His recovery took quite some time but had a steady pace to it. Re-positioning itself, his eye cooperated to resemble a state of normalcy after about a month. After eight months, Clear managed to drive. Refusing to quit baseball, he found himself cut from the team after a year of absence and medical recovery. He still could not give it up and joined the junior varsity. Baseball played a considerable role in his life, and he wanted to heal up and get back on the field. He dreamed of playing professionally. He rejoined the varsity team as a senior but only racked up eleven innings—enough to make a statement about his perseverance. Clear began to attend Denison University and joined its baseball team. HABITS, HABITS, AND MORE HABITS Clear directed some of his motivation to do well and make-up for his high school tragedy into forming good habits. He turned in early, resisting staying up late each night, like his peers seemed to do, to play video games. Many males, at the college age, live in unkempt, dirty, and chaotic rooms. Clear's room showed organization and cleanliness. A feeling of control over his life rewarded Clear, as did the results of his efforts. As his confidence returned, he polished up his study habits, and he racked up a 4.0-grade point average in his first year, destined to be honored as a scholar in several ways. Clear informs the reader that a habit is a behavior or routine that displays regular performance and often automatically. Small but consistent habits led to impressive and previously unimaginable results. Clear applied his habits theory to bodybuilding with success. He secured a starting role on the pitching staff, became team captain, made the all-conference team, earned the "top male athlete" title at Denison, and joined the ESPN Academic All-America Team of just 33 players. Denison's top academic honor, the President's Medal, became Clear's. Clear's baseball injury led to his realization that good habits and small changes can compound into remarkable success. The quality of life, says Clear, becomes dependent upon the quality of our habits. Better habits lead to a better life.

  • Keep Microsoft Word but Add OfficeSuite to Speed up Your Productivity

    At SUMMARIES1000.COM, I write for a living, so the proper word processor or processors become critical for my productivity. Zoho, Google Docs, OfficeSuite, and Microsoft Word comprise my experience. I like Google Docs for three reasons. It’s free, well-organized, and I can tab multiple documents on my browser for quick access. I take advantage of Google Docs for short documents such as copyright notices, about the author blurbs, and book descriptions. You can edit docs off-line, but being online generally suffers from a significant disadvantage--it’s slow for larger files, say over fifty pages. Zoho offers the same advantages and disadvantages as Docs but lacks some key features. OfficeSuite first popped into my arsenal when my laptop died, and I needed to work from tablets while I researched what new laptop I should purchase. When traveling without a laptop, OfficeSuite stepped up to do the job reliably and efficiently. I liked its simplicity so much decided to add the desktop version, which is very inexpensive, even though I already had Word. This article arose from the desktop OfficeSuite, and you may notice its affiliate promotion on some of my published pages. OfficeSuite currently offers a free 30-day trial. You will be missing out if you do not try it. It costs about $30 per year for one person. Like Google Docs, I don’t view OfficeSuite as a replacement for Microsoft Word but as a productivity-enhancing complement. Microsoft Word is the word-processing beast to beat but is so all-encompassing that it becomes too bulky and confusing at times. I find myself searching the web to implement what should be relatively easy tasks, like inserting a table of contents. I see “insert” for tables but don’t see “table of contents,” so I have to plug the term into their search function. OfficeSuite offers many advantages of Microsoft Word-like speed and the ability to crunch through large documents but in a more streamlined and often better-organized way. It has a few features that Word lacks. For example, OfficeSuite added the ability to crop images within documents. My strategy is to grab the best from three processors as a yoked team. Short documents live in my Google Docs tabs on Chrome. OfficeSuite serves as my streamlined, fast, easy-to-use workhorse for book-sized documents. Microsoft Word takes over for thorough and final spell-checking, grammar, and publishing since it can incorporate Grammarly as a plug-in. I cranked out over fifty short books in the past two years, from fifty to one-hundred pages each, as summaries, and a half-dozen full-length books. At $30 per year, or $2.50 per month, OfficeSuite is so inexpensive that it becomes a no-brainer for adding speed and enhancing productivity. If you are a professional, do not try to replace Word with it. Take advantage of its ease of use compared to Word for most of your processing, and then plug into Word for the final touches.

  • KNOWEDGE CAN COME CHEAP

    https://www.summaries1000.com/ WHY SMALL HABITS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE We tend to overestimate the significance of one defining moment just as we underestimate the worth of instigating minor improvements consistently. We mistakenly buy into the belief that big success requires big action. We seek unrealistic earth-shattering events or enhancements to improve our systems, habits, and performance incrementally. This applies to our families, writing a book, growing a business, winning a championship, or any other long-term goal. Moving forward by one percent, improvements will not break the sound barrier but an aggregate of them will be more consequential in the long run. Mathematically, a one percent daily improvement makes thirty-seven times better improvement after one year. A one percent daily worsening takes you down to zero at the same time. TIME Habits become the "compound interest" of self-improvement. Just as money will multiply through compound interest, the effects of your practices will increase as you reiterate them. The British cyclists showed us that habits, although they appear not to matter that much daily, can give us progress and improvement over months and years. The results can be tremendous. This can be a challenging concept to master in daily life. The measured and methodical velocity of transformation also makes it easy to let a lousy habit persist. If you succumb to that salty cheeseburger and fries, your weight or health does not change much in one day. If you work late tonight and ignore your loved ones, they are likely to forgive you. If you put your project off until the next day, you will probably have time to finish it later. A solitary decision becomes easy to dismiss. But the repetition of one percent errors each day replicates poor decisions, duplicates mistakes, and allows for rationalizing excuses. Our small choices compound into large and venomous results. The unyielding accumulation of numerous missteps undoubtedly leads to big problems. Rather than once-in-a-lifetime transformations, success arises slowly as the product of intelligent daily behavior. Your track record is not as crucial as your arsenal of habits and your trajectory. You become what you repeat. Your weight becomes a lagging measure of your eating and exercise habits. Your wealth reflects your financial habits. If you want to predict your future, just follow your current trajectory of habits.

  • Bill Gates, COVID19 VARIANT UPDATE and How to Avoid a Climate Disaster

    April 1, 2021 Bill Gates's new book is out, and so are several summaries. Do not forget to download the free introduction and first chapter for my summary book on Atomic Habits by James Clear. Sign in on the first page. Gates just publish a great article about what you need to know about COVID19 variants Read it here. "This month marks one year since the COVID-19 pandemic upended lives around the world. It’s been a long, difficult year, but now that more and more people are getting vaccinated against the virus, I’m starting to feel optimistic that the worst parts of the pandemic will soon be behind us.We still have a number of challenges to address before we get there. The virus that causes COVID-19 is mutating, and that’s complicating efforts to end the pandemic. I’ve been getting asked a lot of questions about variants lately, so I wrote a post about the subject. You can read it here.If there’s only one thing people learn about variants, it should be this: The best way to prevent new strains of the coronavirus from emerging is by stopping transmission of the virus altogether. We will bring an end to the pandemic much sooner if everyone remains vigilant about social distancing, wears a mask, and gets vaccinated when it’s their turn." Gates: "I hope that it gives everyone who reads it a better understanding of what we need to do to avoid a climate disaster. But if there is only one idea I want people to take away from the book, we need to lower the Green Premiums. The term refers to the difference in cost between a product that involves emitting carbon and an alternative that doesn't. For example, the current average price of jet fuel is $2.22 per gallon. If an airline wanted to swap that out for a zero-carbon advanced biofuel alternative, you'd have to pay $5.35 per gallon—a whopping 140 percent increase. That difference is the Green Premium for gasoline. Green Premiums let us see which zero-carbon solutions we should deploy now—like solar power, which has a low premium in some places—and where we should pursue breakthroughs because the clean alternatives aren't cheap enough. The bigger the Green Premium is for a particular product, the more expensive it will be to eliminate that product's emissions—and the harder it will be to accomplish. Lowering these premiums is the only way to zero out emissions without making things significantly more expensive. Ever wondered what Bill Gates prefers on his burgers? If he could still write the code that made him a billionaire? Or what he thinks about being targeted by weird COVID-19 conspiracy theories? Wonder no more. Mr Gates held his ninth Reddit AMA — Ask Me Anything, for the uninitiated — and covered a whole lot of "meaty" ground, as the Microsoft co-founder put it himself. Here's the best of what he had to say. Gates is super into synthetic meat right now While his focus is on fighting climate change (he's just published a book about it), Mr Gates spoke a lot about how important synthetic meat is key to solving the challenge in the years ahead. Asked what "niche technology do you believe could play a significant role in the future in the battle against climate change?" Mr Gates said: "We need a lot of technologies — synthetic meat, energy storage, new ways of making building materials… We want to be open to ideas that seem wild." Source: How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need (Feb. 16, 2021 by Alfred A. Knopf,) Copyright © 2021 by Bill Gates. "Not long ago, my friend Warren Buffett and I were talking about how the world might decarbonize airplanes. Warren asked, “Why can’t we run a jumbo jet on batteries?” He already knew that when a jet takes off, the fuel it’s carrying accounts for 20 to 40 percent of its weight. So when I told him this startling fact — that you’d need 35 times more batteries by weight to get the same energy as jet fuel — he understood immediately. The more power you need, the heavier your plane gets. At some point, it’s so heavy that it can’t get off the ground. Warren smiled, nodded, and just said, “Ah.” When you’re trying to power something as heavy as a container ship or jetliner, the rule of thumb I mentioned earlier — the bigger the vehicle you want to move, and the farther you want to drive it without recharging, the harder it’ll be to use electricity as your power source—becomes a law. Barring some unlikely breakthrough, batteries will never be light and powerful enough to move planes and ships anything more than short distances. Consider where the state of the art is today. The best all-electric plane on the market can carry two passengers, reach a top speed of 210 miles per hour, and fly for three hours before recharging.* Meanwhile, a mid-capacity Boeing 787 can carry 296 passengers, reach up to 650 miles an hour, and fly for nearly 20 hours before stopping for fuel. In other words, a fossil-fuel-powered jetliner can fly more than three times as fast, for six times as long, and carry nearly 150 times as many people as the best electric plane on the Market. Batteries are getting better, but it’s hard to see how they’ll ever close this gap. If we’re lucky, they may become up to three times as energy dense as they are now, in which case they would still be 12 times less energy dense than gas or jet fuel. Our best bet is to replace jet fuel with electrofuels and advanced biofuels, but there are hefty premiums that come with them. The same goes for cargo ships. The best conventional container ships can carry 200 times more cargo than either of the two electric ships now in operation, and they can run routes that are 400 times longer. Those are major advantages for ships that need to cross entire oceans. Given how important container ships have become in the global economy, I don’t think it will ever be financially viable to try to run them on anything other than liquid fuels. Making the switch to alternatives would do us a lot of good; because shipping alone accounts for 3 percent of all emissions, using clean fuels would give us a meaningful reduction. Unfortunately, the fuel that container ships run on — it’s called bunker fuel — is dirt cheap, because it’s made from the dregs of the oil refining process. Since their current fuel is so inexpensive, the Green Premium for ships is very high. Would most people be willing to accept these increases? It’s not clear. But consider that the last time the United States raised the federal gas tax — imposed any increase at all — was more than a quarter century ago, in 1993. I don’t think Americans are eager to pay more for gas. There are four ways to cut down on emissions from transportation. One is to do less of it — less driving, flying, and shipping. We should encourage more alternative modes, like walking, biking, and carpooling, and it’s great that some cities are using smart urban plans to do just that. Another way to cut down on emissions is to use fewer carbon-intensive materials in making cars to begin with —although that wouldn’t affect the fuel-based emissions we’ve covered in this chapter. Every car is made from materials like steel and plastics that can’t be manufactured without emitting greenhouse gases. The less of these materials we need in our cars, the lower their carbon footprint will be. The third way to cut down on emissions is to use fuels more efficiently. This subject gets a lot of attention from lawmakers and the press, at least as it pertains to passenger cars and trucks; most major economies have fuel efficiency standards for those vehicles, and they’ve made a big difference by forcing car companies to fund the advanced engineering of more efficient engines. But the standards don’t go far enough. For example, there are suggested emissions standards for international shipping and aviation, but they’re almost unenforceable. Which country’s jurisdiction would cover carbon emissions from a container ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Besides, although making and using more efficient vehicles are important steps in the right direction, they won’t get us to zero. Even if you’re burning less gasoline, you’re still burning gasoline. That brings me to the fourth — and most effective — way we can move toward zero emissions from transportation: switching to electric vehicles and alternative fuels. We can speed up the transition by adopting policies that encourage people to buy EVs and creating a network of charging stations so they’re more practical to own.

  • Summary: Bill Gates: How to Avoid a Climate Disaster by Scott Campbell

    MARCH 22, 2021 Subscribe to SUMMARIES1000.COM and get some freebies downloads. Bill Gates held an AMA on Reddit to speak about climate change and those COVID conspiracy theories. Ever wondered what Bill Gates prefers on his burgers? If he could still write the code that made him a billionaire? Or what he thinks about being targeted by weird COVID-19 conspiracy theories? Wonder no more. Mr Gates held his ninth Reddit AMA — Ask Me Anything, for the uninitiated — and covered a whole lot of "meaty" ground, as the Microsoft co-founder put it himself. Here's the best of what he had to say. Gates is super into synthetic meat right now While his focus is on fighting climate change (he's just published a book about it), Mr Gates spoke a lot about how important synthetic meat is key to solving the challenge in the years ahead. Asked what "niche technology do you believe could play a significant role in the future in the battle against climate change?" Mr Gates said: "We need a lot of technologies — synthetic meat, energy storage, new ways of making building materials… We want to be open to ideas that seem wild." Source: How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need (Feb. 16, 2021 by Alfred A. Knopf,) Copyright © 2021 by Bill Gates. "Not long ago, my friend Warren Buffett and I were talking about how the world might decarbonize airplanes. Warren asked, “Why can’t we run a jumbo jet on batteries?” He already knew that when a jet takes off, the fuel it’s carrying accounts for 20 to 40 percent of its weight. So when I told him this startling fact — that you’d need 35 times more batteries by weight to get the same energy as jet fuel — he understood immediately. The more power you need, the heavier your plane gets. At some point, it’s so heavy that it can’t get off the ground. Warren smiled, nodded, and just said, “Ah.” When you’re trying to power something as heavy as a container ship or jetliner, the rule of thumb I mentioned earlier — the bigger the vehicle you want to move, and the farther you want to drive it without recharging, the harder it’ll be to use electricity as your power source—becomes a law. Barring some unlikely breakthrough, batteries will never be light and powerful enough to move planes and ships anything more than short distances. Consider where the state of the art is today. The best all-electric plane on the market can carry two passengers, reach a top speed of 210 miles per hour, and fly for three hours before recharging.* Meanwhile, a mid-capacity Boeing 787 can carry 296 passengers, reach up to 650 miles an hour, and fly for nearly 20 hours before stopping for fuel. In other words, a fossil-fuel-powered jetliner can fly more than three times as fast, for six times as long, and carry nearly 150 times as many people as the best electric plane on the Market. Batteries are getting better, but it’s hard to see how they’ll ever close this gap. If we’re lucky, they may become up to three times as energy dense as they are now, in which case they would still be 12 times less energy dense than gas or jet fuel. Our best bet is to replace jet fuel with electrofuels and advanced biofuels, but there are hefty premiums that come with them. The same goes for cargo ships. The best conventional container ships can carry 200 times more cargo than either of the two electric ships now in operation, and they can run routes that are 400 times longer. Those are major advantages for ships that need to cross entire oceans. Given how important container ships have become in the global economy, I don’t think it will ever be financially viable to try to run them on anything other than liquid fuels. Making the switch to alternatives would do us a lot of good; because shipping alone accounts for 3 percent of all emissions, using clean fuels would give us a meaningful reduction. Unfortunately, the fuel that container ships run on — it’s called bunker fuel — is dirt cheap, because it’s made from the dregs of the oil refining process. Since their current fuel is so inexpensive, the Green Premium for ships is very high. Would most people be willing to accept these increases? It’s not clear. But consider that the last time the United States raised the federal gas tax — imposed any increase at all — was more than a quarter century ago, in 1993. I don’t think Americans are eager to pay more for gas. There are four ways to cut down on emissions from transportation. One is to do less of it — less driving, flying, and shipping. We should encourage more alternative modes, like walking, biking, and carpooling, and it’s great that some cities are using smart urban plans to do just that. Another way to cut down on emissions is to use fewer carbon-intensive materials in making cars to begin with —although that wouldn’t affect the fuel-based emissions we’ve covered in this chapter. Every car is made from materials like steel and plastics that can’t be manufactured without emitting greenhouse gases. The less of these materials we need in our cars, the lower their carbon footprint will be. The third way to cut down on emissions is to use fuels more efficiently. This subject gets a lot of attention from lawmakers and the press, at least as it pertains to passenger cars and trucks; most major economies have fuel efficiency standards for those vehicles, and they’ve made a big difference by forcing car companies to fund the advanced engineering of more efficient engines. But the standards don’t go far enough. For example, there are suggested emissions standards for international shipping and aviation, but they’re almost unenforceable. Which country’s jurisdiction would cover carbon emissions from a container ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Besides, although making and using more efficient vehicles are important steps in the right direction, they won’t get us to zero. Even if you’re burning less gasoline, you’re still burning gasoline. That brings me to the fourth — and most effective — way we can move toward zero emissions from transportation: switching to electric vehicles and alternative fuels. We can speed up the transition by adopting policies that encourage people to buy EVs and creating a network of charging stations so they’re more practical to own. Nationwide commitments can help drive up the supply of cars and drive down their cost; China, India, and several countries in Europe have all announced goals to phase out fossil-fueled vehicles — mostly passenger cars — over the coming decades. California has committed to buying only electric buses by 2029 and to banning the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035. Next, to run all these EVs we hope to have on the road, we’ll need a lot of clean electricity—one more reason why it’s so important to deploy renewable sources and pursue breakthroughs in generation and storage. Finally, we need a massive effort to explore all the ways we can make advanced biofuels and cheap electrofuels.

Keep Sharp is Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s comprehensive guide to cognitive dysfunction disease in its various forms, including dementia, and the prevention, treatment, and strategies to cope. Gupta bravely initiated a noble and global quest to gather up and analyze how doctors tackle brain function problems and cognitive challenges. He holds an impressive list of characters and anecdotes from his efforts.. Gupta dove into times past to look at dementia. He looked at ancient history, through the Enlightenment, and into the modern era. Keep Sharp appeals to a diversified bevy of readers as a double gem for popular science and medical advice. Although avoiding medical jargon is impossible for cognitive dysfunction, Gupta shows us a simplified, engaging, and compelling story built around one of the most complex objects we know of—the human brain. Defining his terms right out of the gate gives the reader what they need to understand and act upon. The reader begins to learn how our physical and mental activities effect our brains. Boosting one’s brain prowess with medically established methods to help prevent Alzheimer's’ arises as a dominant theme. Dr. Gupta sculpted his narrative's contents with plenty of advice for those who show symptoms of the first stages of dementia. He puts his arm around the reader, tells him or her how to get the help they need, secure a proper diagnosis, and how to come to grips with the most adverse effects. Gupta pieces together valuable resources in the final chapter to guide those who carry a diagnosis of dementia. Though his approach is predictably straightforward and practical, he infuses it with the empathy and understanding of a good doctor. His goal: bring the issue of Alzheimer’s, its significance, its challenges, and possible solutions to a broader audience. This book is not intended as medical advice. If you have health problems, consult with your physician. Rather than replace Dr. Gupta's book, it serves to complement it. BUILD A BETTER BRAIN AT ANY AGE ​ CNN chief medical correspondent Gupta counsels that in order to best take care of your body, you have to first take care of your mind. The author’s primary concern is to nurture a resilient brain that propagates new cells, makes the ones you have work more efficiently, and is continuously enriched throughout life. In particular, he wishes to stave off age-related brain illnesses classified under dementia, with Alzheimer’s at the fore. Unfortunately, writes Gupta, “we often don’t and can’t know what triggers cognitive decline in the first place or what propels it over time.” Regarding the brain as a whole, “we are still not exactly sure what makes it tick.” As such, the author suggests that we get out in front of it and act preventatively by engaging in behaviors that are widely considered brain-friendly. In a steady, measured voice, he presents a comprehensive view of the best that brain science has to offer to preserve and improve memory at the cognitive level. The villains are a rogue’s gallery of familiar faces: “physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, smoking, social isolation, poor sleep, lack of mentally stimulating activities, and misuse of alcohol.” Gupta explores the evidence, both scientifically documented and anecdotal (but common-sensical), behind the value of exercise; strategies to heighten attention, focus, and concentration; relaxation (including meditation and restorative sleep); diet’s microbial effect on the brain; and the value of a diverse social network. None of this is going to make your jaw drop, but they are all good reminders of their import and how we can let them slide by without much thought. Gupta is a shameless name-dropper—“my friend, actor and fitness buff Matthew McConaughey” gives him exercise advice; the Dalai Lama privately tutors him in meditation—but he is also a genuine source of practical knowledge and sympathy to those struggling with dementia and the family members who are primary caregivers—to whom he tenders a wealth of resources. Inclusive and recognizably sturdy advice on building a healthy brain.

  • THE DEMOCRAT EXPLOITATION OF LGBTQ

    Blacks have never had it so good in regards to the federal government, with the lowest level of unemployment in history, fair, even privileged, treatment by police, and plenty of opportunity for advancement. Their civil rights are respected under Trump as they are protected by law. They have been for 55 years. We are even seeing more black conservatives, like Candace Owens, step and lead. She tells the truth, that the Democrat's plantation politics has screwed the blacks for hundreds of years. Democrats don't care about black-on-black gun violence which devastates some communities. How often have you heard them even mention it? The Democrats promote LGBTQ rights over black Civil Rights. Gay marriage is more important than black jobs. American blacks are pushed aside by the Democrats as they welcome hordes of Hispanic and Islamic immigrants to displace them. The Islamics ran a slave trade, predominantly of blacks, for 1,400 years. For the Dems, immigrants are more important than black school districts filled with failing students and violence. Gay discrimination at a bakery is more important than reining in drug gangs with black teens shooting each other and innocent neighbors in the streets. ( Obama's anti-black legacy http://bit.ly/2KFD6wK) But the brainwashed young Dems are instructed to further the false narrative that everything is otherwise. Trump and Pence are putting on white sheets at night, mounting their white horses, and leading the KKK to lurk around every corner with nooses and Zippo lighters to burn crosses. So I guess it was time to stage for more hate-crime hoaxes and some of the more elaborate ones arise from those iconic hotbeds for liberal insanity and unfounded hate against white America and capitalism: the colleges. They think that they can hurt Trump by staging hate-crimes but they back-fire when the truth comes out. See links below for hoaxes. I covered this topic extensively because it was one of the main takeaways and themes of the LIES: Jussie Smollett and the Deep State Agenda Some of the recent hoaxes look like Jussie Smollett copies. Thanks Jussie-- still hurting people? "EPILOGUE" Jussie presented himself as just a psychologically compromised, self-centered, drugged-up, bungling, scamming, lying and greedy opportunist. He wanted national admiration, and money, as an LGBTQ and Democrat hero. He wanted to single-handedly defeat president Trump in 2020. He had dreams of being president one day and posted a photo of himself dressed almost exactly like a young Barack Obama. Jussie’s twisted plot has much to teach us about America’s internal race relations- that they are actually very, very good. America is so bent on eliminating any victimization regarding racial discrimination that it has encouraged racial hate crime hoaxes as an effective means of financial, political, and social plunder. The chances of Jussie of ever actually being assaulted by Trump supporters are near zero. Jussie had to invent attackers because there were none. Jussie was reasonably successful before his attack. He sang and acted and had gained access to the White House through Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama. He had money and some fame. If a political in-group can just show but one case of well-publicized racial discrimination then it can shake down the guilt-prone establishment for money and political clout to make further social and governmental changes in its favor. If Jussie’s attack had worked he would have been famous and presented a myriad of opportunities to exploit it for money and political clout. Our society would have rewarded him handsomely. Apparently, in Jussie’s mind, instead of advancement based on working harder as an actor and singer, he sought the more glamorous and much more bountiful route of a staged hate crime. The lesson for society is to take a step back and look at itself and be proud of where it stands today on protecting the civil rights of all individuals and to move forward based on creating equal opportunities, freeing itself from the victimization strangle-hold. Jussie’s hate crime hoax failed miserably. Instead of a gay Tupac, or the next Oprah, or historical recognition as a gay Rodney King, Jussie became a gay and spoiled Benedict Arnold. Jussie became guilty of betraying what most of us, white, black or whatever color, would like America to continue to be: without rampant racism and hate. Jussie insulted millions of white male Trump supporters and tried to frame them for a hate crime that none of them committed. He slapped millions of blacks working hard to protect their civil rights like any other in-group. Jussie also slapped millions of LGBTQ people fighting daily to be accepted without abuse. By trying to put white Trump supporters more at risk for physical, psychological, and economic harm, he instead put blacks and LGBTQ people at risk because now any stories of attacks may not be believed as much as before. Jussie Smollett exploited his racial and sexual identity and, despite his apparent connections to Democratic power elites, should pay a lot more for his dangerous crimes. People like Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters make a fortune from their positions from Deep State corporations, and are rewarded by their peers and the Deep State media for inciting hate and racism. She who hates the most and attacks the most, gets the most money and attention. These phony leaders continuously trick their constituents to think they are working for them. They protected and defended Jussie while at the same time act behind the scenes to keep minorities oppressed and “victimized” to earn their votes, classic plantation politics. During his interview Jussie said that he still wanted to believe in justice and if he could not actually believe in justice, then he asked “what’s it all for?” Dear Jussie: Many, including the police, the Mayor of Chicago, and an entire Illinois attorney association thought that justice was not served. You did not have to admit guilt to get your charges dropped. There was no due process for the dismissal of charges for sixteen felonies. Many might say they don’t believe in justice anymore after your case. So Jussie, since justice did not happen in your case, you have to stop believing in justice, right? Then “what’s it all for?” Well, after the charges were dismissed, you soon went to Hawaii to relax on the beach, eat Cheetos, and smoke something that looked like a big fat joint.Thank you for that. That was all to continue to be a good role model to help save the world? Then there is always music, Ecstasy, sex with men, alcohol, faking signatures, and getting DUIs and endangering others. How about making some more money from singing about the oppressed and abused, who you really don’t care about, and you actually put in more danger? Or how about tweeting and disrespecting the President of the United States and his white supporters to sell more songs? Life is about family and love. Life is about survival. Life should be about community and treating others equally without racism and bigotry but it is sometimes not because of people like you. If you actually look around the real world, Jussie, many people are not as privileged as you are and have to live without justice everyday. You made it worse for them, too. Jussie, unwittingly, you actually did some good for the nation and for Trump and the Republicans. Your court case not only revealed Democrat corruption it brought national attention to it based on well-documented evidence.The national focus on your court case also shed light on the fact that George Soros bought and owned Kim Foxx. She created an alternative justice program that Kamala Harris helped her instigate and that benefited the Democratic Deep State agenda of anarchy in the streets and let their felons get off easy. Now people who allegedly assault police and others like Jedidiah Brown will fear punishment. Your case, through books like this one, gathered more attention on the Deep States push to create alternative justice favorable to Democrats across the nation.

  • Democrats show communist state intent: ban "father, mother, son, daughter" in House

    In Aldus Huxley's Brave New World, when a child on a field trip mentions the words "mother and father," the state "instructor" lambasts him for using "bad language." Babies comes from test tubes and birthing units, not parents, in this dystopian world where there is plenty of sex but no natural procreation. The family unit no longer exists. Children finds themselves raised by--and brainwashed by-- the state. For the Orwellian House Democrats in 2021, "mother and father" and "son and daughter" found themselves designated "bad words" as well. (George Orwell, pictured here, worked for the BBC but quit because he became disgusted by being forced to spew propaganda.) George Orwell (1903-1950) Nancy Pelosi and the American Democrats proposed a bill in early 2021 forbidding gender-specific words and family words like "father and mother" and "son and daughter" from House discussions and statements—a blatant attack on the family. People like Pelosi, AOC, Charles Schumer, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Michelle Obama, and Hillary Clinton should be in charge of raising your children, not you. Communism seeks to destroy not only nationalism and Christianity, but the family, and replace them with the state or Big Brother. Love is to be directed towards state, not for each other, and not for families which should be broken up in any way possible. In 1984, Big Brother seeks to erase Winston Smith's memories of his mother and sister. We could argue that the Democrat social programs arose to not only to make people dependent on Democrats in exchange for votes but to push fathers in low income neighborhoods out of the home. The classic state welfare mother emerged, financially compensated for having many kids with no father around. The schools would take over parenting, including meals, in addition to communist indoctrination. Read or listen to my summary books for Candace Owens for this tragic bit of history concerning the betrayal of low income communities by the Democrats. The Democrats, as communists, work to encourage crime and drug use, not curtail them, in all communities. Perhaps no other work of literature shows the power of words to shape a society more than George Orwell's classic: 1984. Big Brother invented a language, "Newspeak," to assist in eliminating speech deemed to be against the state. Unlike other languages, the Newspeak dictionary shrunk each year, to reflect the replacement of words with strictly pro-Big Brother terms. The following arises from the new Summary and Expansion book for George Orwell's timeless masterpiece,. Written in 1944, the novel entitled 1984 proved to be George Orwell’s most chilling prophecy. Timelier than ever, Orwell’s dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative forms the basis of one of the world’s greatest novels. Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the Ministry of Truth's demands—a job similar to the one Orwell held with the BBC. With each falsehood that he writes and each truth that he buries, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes against it. He starts to think for himself but can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching and listening. Even thinking of writing a personal journal, or falling in love, is punishable by death. Winston writes a journal and falls in love. Game on. Winston challenges Big Brother’s Doublethink, which became crafted to brainwash the populous into submission. WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH A stunning and haunting work that blessed us as a unique literary masterpiece, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is both convincing and unforgettable, from beginning to end. There is no denial of the novel’s hold on the imagination of entire generations or the influence of its warnings—a power that seems to gain strength, not lose it, with time. Orwell’s 1984 rose to the top of best seller lists in late 2020 and 2021 because the world continues to evolve from the one which gave him his experiences and motives during the war towards one which matches his gloomy predictions in a most uncanny fashion. After Orwell’s original text from the public domain, the second section infuses the reader with insight, encouraging the mastery of the lesson Orwell wanted us all to learn. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The atmosphere of 1984 reflects one of an unpleasant and oppressive dystopia. A world imagined in 1944 by journalist, author, broadcaster, and intellectual, George Orwell, proves to be too close for comfort to much of our world today. Orwell’s 1984 rose to the top of the best seller lists in the winter of 2021 after the Presidential election in the USA. One of the greatest novelists of all time, who preferred to call himself a journalist, informs the reader about one of the most important subjects of all time: the rise of Communism and Fascism to control individual lives. Orwell envisioned the telescreen, a television-like device that views people secretly as they watch it. Today we have Barack Obama's version of the ubiquitous NSA, which spies on the average Joe without his permission.[1] Orwell also foresaw just three megastates, with similar philosophies and strategies for oppression, and fostering constant war. East-Asia boasts China and its satellite states; the Soviet Union anchors Eurasia; and Oceania contains the United States of America, the UK, and their allies. Are not China, Russia, and the USA at constant war, in one form or another, today? Orwell's artistic creations for 1984 include "Newspeak," a dialectical and purposed English that the totalitarian government exploits to dissuade freedom of thought and debate. Newspeak seems to be the only language where the number of words decreases each year, reflecting reduced communication. Winston advises a colleague, the revolution will be complete when the language reaches perfection. We already stated that the Orwellian Nancy Pelosi and the American Democrats passed a bill in early 2021 eliminating gender-specific words and family words like "father and mother" and "son and daughter" from House discussions and statements—a blatant attack on the family under the guise of catering to LGBTQ issues.[2] Orwell believed that a complex idea proved to be impossible to muster and store without words. To make hell look a bit rosier, Newspeak eradicated the term "awful," substituting it with the less-harsh term, "ungood." The word, "awful," existed no longer. The government could constrain the populous through language as well as with torture, imprisonment, and "vaporization." Winston Smith represents the Outer Party. He works at the Records Department at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting and distorting history to suit Big Brother. Winston gains enough courage to start a journal for a psychological rebellion against Big Brother's tyranny -- an act punishable by death. Winston seeks to maintain his humanity in hopelessly inhumane conditions. Large telescreens affix themselves nearly everywhere to spy on him -- at his apartment, in his work cubicle, in the cafeteria, and even in the restroom stalls. His every movement earns scrutiny and recording. Only one spot in his room remains hidden—and that determined where he will write his journal. One evening, in the compulsory Two Minutes Hate, Winston locks gaze with an interior Party member, O'Brien, whom he believes may be part of the Resistance called the Brotherhood. He also grabs the dark-haired girl's attention from the Fiction Department in the Ministry of Truth, whom he thinks will be his enemy and wants him vaporized. Her name: "Julia." After a few days of eye contact, she palms a note to him that reads, 'I love you." Secretly and alone in the countryside, they make love and chat. They swear to fight the Party and Big Brother. Winston rents a room for future sex over the store where he bought his blank journal. Winston and Julia fall in love in a matter of months. While they understand their capture and punishment deems itself inevitable, they remain confident that the loyalty and love they feel for one another will neither end nor suffer destruction. Winston and Julia are hustled by O'Brien, whom they believe to be a member of the underground but will eventually reveal himself as a spy for Big Brother. O'Brien arranges for Winston a copy of "the publication," the guidebook and manifesto purportedly compiled by the underground leader, Emmanuel Goldstein. This previous Big Brother allegedly turned rogue, earning his demonization as the ultimate enemy. Winston reads the manifesto to Julia, but they hear a noise from behind a painting, where there lurks a telescreen. Thought Police storm their room and arrest them. Julia takes a punch in the solar plexus, the wind knocked out of her, and four men carry her off, upside down, each in charge of an appendage. It turns out that the shopkeeper who sold Winston his journal and rented out the room to him proves to serve also as a spy for Big Brother. Winston and Julia become separated. Winston finds himself alone, located deep within the Ministry of Love, a type of jail without windows. In solitary confinement, he awaits in preparation for torture. O'Brien monitored Winston for seven years and means to break him into total submission to Big Brother, forcing Winston into giving up his forbidden love for Julia, his journal, and his quest for truth in memory and history. In the next few months, O'Brien proceeds to torture Winston to modify his thoughts to include "Doublethink," the capacity to concurrently hold two different thoughts in the intellect and simultaneously consider them. Winston believes that your mind has to be free of charge, and also, to stay free of charge, you have to trust in a targeted fact, for example, 2 + 2 = 4. O’Brien desires Winston to insist 2 + 2 = 5. Winston remains stubborn, trying to hold onto to this most basic truth, which represents freedom. Ultimately, O'Brien condemns Winston to Room 101, the location where offenders meet their worst nightmares. Winston's most poignant fear concerns rats. O'Brien puts a mask built from wire mesh and filled with rats above Winston's head and threatens to drop it onto Winston so the rats can bite his face. Winston yells, "Do it to Julia! Not me!" --relinquishing his final vestige of Humanity to the Party. Months later, Winston sits permanently "modified" at the Chestnut Tree Café, observing the Telescreens filled with pain depicted on the front lines. Julia enters. She looks altered, appearing thicker, without make-up, of course, and not as attractive. She admits she betrayed him as he betrayed her. Any hint of love between them disappeared. Winston sits as a broken man in no uncertain terms, forever in love with only Big Brother. CONTROL OF THE MEDIA: HISTORY Orwell experienced Franco's Fascist military rebellion. Although initially delighted with the idea of bringing Socialism to Spain, he soon came to realize that the socialist dream of an ideal life had no chance to survive the current political climate. Suffering a shot in the neck by a sniper didn’t help. Franco's dictatorship would lead to concentration camps, forced labor, and brutal forms of capital punishment. Falsely accused of participating in a pro-Fascist organization, an accusation which liberal media outlets readily accepted in Spain and England, Orwell penned the guts of his traumatic experiences and realizations into his novel, 1984. He details a propaganda machine called the Ministry of Truth, which constantly rewrites history to suit its political needs--exactly what Orwell experienced firsthand in Barcelona during World War II. Orwell reported only under severe content restrictions, rendering his work pure fiction and propaganda to please the British government, which greatly upset him. Protagonist Winston Smith becomes Orwell's avatar in 1984, tagged with a job description that includes extracting the truth from history and replacing it with Big Brother's falsehoods. One of Orwell's central themes revolves around the astounding exploitation of the ultimate duplicity of real versus false: called "doublespeak." Orwell argues that words dictate potential thoughts and feelings, and to control the people, a new language invents itself, "Newspeak." Real history itself becomes lost, replaced by a shifting chaos of party propaganda to the point that "2+2=5" when mustached Big Brother, who resembles Stalin in looks and behavior, wants it to be. A historical Lenin serves as the model for Big Brother's fictional arch-enemy, Emmanuel Goldstein, complete with a goatee. SETTING The Atlantic Islands, North and South America; Australia, the British Isles; and South Africa make up the gigantic state of Oceania, which forms the setting for 1984. Former England bears the name "Air Strip One." Eurasia shows that it is dominated by China. The story plays out in London in 1984, a terrifying time and place where the human spirit and freedom have been squashed into near-oblivion. War, or the appearance of war, becomes inevitable, a daily given, forever—because it prevents advancement by the people. Protagonist Winston Smith entered the world before World War II and matured unloved and amidst constant political instability. Most frequently, his stomach gurgled on empty. His mother and sister went missing after he stole his sister's chocolate. The novel reflects Orwell's actual wartime experiences and knowledge regarding Spain, Germany, and the Soviet Union under Franco, Hitler, and Stalin as a most frustrated journalist. Orwell wanted to share the truth but found himself forced to share lies through the news media. Transnational and heartless government policies of Communist and Fascist regimes during the war bore responsibility for food shortages and repression of the human spirit and freedoms. Stalin sold food to buy arms, letting his people starve. For disobedience or wanton and subjective persecution, imprisonment, torture, and executions were not uncommon. The family unit built on love and devotion became the state's enemy, which sought to replace them with its plan to demand loyalty. "Different people," unaccepting people, and "free thinkers" lived as if a red target adorned their backs. A London setting invokes real memories of the war, connecting to millions of readers. People live like chickens in makeshift wooden shacks erected in clearings from bombings and struggle to find razor blades or a substantial meal. POLITICAL STRUCTURE Oceania's political infrastructure is one of three main divisions: the ruling class or Inner Party, which comprises only 2% of the population but holds nearly all of the wealth, the Outer Party, or trained or educated workers, up to 20% of the people, and the Proletariat or "Proles," the remainder which lives as an uneducated working class. Orwell felt obligated to emphasize class distinctions' alleged evils and the arising conflicts and struggles as a socialist. In Stalin's Soviet Union and Hitler's Germany, the ruling class enjoyed a much higher standard of living, but in 1984, revolt seems hopelessly impossible. The wealth of a ruling class for a Communist country that claims to promote wealth equality becomes blatantly and morally absurd. CHARACTERS WINSTON SMITH Winston, the novel's protagonist, doesn't care to be stripped of his freedoms. As a writer, he doesn't like history to undergo falsification and evolves into the Party's enemy. He wants to aid a rebellion and defeat the Party. He longs for good old-fashioned sex and love. JULIA The Fiction Department's dark-haired girl assumes the role of Winston's partner in crime and lover. Julia is against the Party's policies and laws, but just breaking a few rules satisfies her, like wearing make-up and making love for pleasure. She knows changing society is impossible. She is patterned after Orwell’s second wife. O'BRIEN A prominent but mysterious member of the Inner Party, really his enemy, O'Brien pretends to be Winston's ally. O'Brien transforms into the impetus for Winston's eventual indoctrination into the Party. A personification of the Party, O'Brien spouts Party philosophy like an expert. BIG BROTHER Big Brother leads the Party like a god. Patterned after Stalin, with the same "rugged handsomeness" and overbearing mustache, Big Brother proves to be everywhere, seems eternal, and wields all power but all in intangible ways. Winston doubts a "real" Big Brother exists, that he plays an iconic image conjured up to control the masses. EMMANUEL GOLDSTEIN The same type of origin and purpose could be said for Emmanuel Goldstein, the alleged leader of the Brotherhood. Orwell puts the reader in a state of perpetual ambiguity regarding the real existence of Goldstein. People hate more efficiently if they can associate it with a face with power. Goldstein's face is that face. MR. CHARRINGTON Mr. Charrington, the owner of the shop where Winston buys his diary and rents the room upstairs, exists not as a charismatic, older collector as he appears, but a younger and ruthless man in disguise who works for the Thought Police. TOM PARSONS Winston's neighbor, Tom Parsons, winds up in the Ministry of Love at the same time as Winston. Like some of the Hitler youth, Parson's children turned their father in for some infractions against the Party. Parson's fate: vaporization. AMPLEFORTH A poet-wannabe, Ampleforth works in the Ministry of Truth with Winston. His fate also lies in the dark bowels of the Ministry of Love.

Influenced by a card-carrying communist in Hawaii starting about age 10, Frank Marshall Davis, Obama mostly likely thought like a revolutionary Marxist much sooner. Obama worked hard to continue the implementation of an Orwellian state. After promises by Obama to reduce surveillance, Big Brother mastered using the NSA to spy on all citizens at will to raise government surveillance to an all-time high. https://www.whitehatrevolution.com/ Scott Campbell

CHARACTERS WINSTON SMITH Winston, the novel's protagonist, doesn't care to be stripped of his freedoms. As a writer, he doesn't like history to undergo falsification and evolves into the Party's enemy. He wants to aid a rebellion and defeat the Party. He longs for good old-fashioned sex and love. JULIA The Fiction Department's dark-haired girl assumes the role of Winston's partner in crime and lover. Julia is against the Party's policies and laws, but just breaking a few rules satisfies her, like wearing make-up and making love for pleasure. She knows changing society is impossible. She is patterned after Orwell’s second wife. O'BRIEN A prominent but mysterious member of the Inner Party, really his enemy, O'Brien pretends to be Winston's ally. O'Brien transforms into the impetus for Winston's eventual indoctrination into the Party. A personification of the Party, O'Brien spouts Party philosophy like an expert. BIG BROTHER Big Brother leads the Party like a god. Patterned after Stalin, with the same "rugged handsomeness" and overbearing mustache, Big Brother proves to be everywhere, seems eternal, and wields all power but all in intangible ways. Winston doubts a "real" Big Brother exists, that he plays an iconic image conjured up to control the masses. EMMANUEL GOLDSTEIN The same type of origin and purpose could be said for Emmanuel Goldstein, the alleged leader of the Brotherhood. Orwell puts the reader in a state of perpetual ambiguity regarding the real existence of Goldstein. People hate more efficiently if they can associate it with a face with power. Goldstein's face is that face. MR. CHARRINGTON Mr. Charrington, the owner of the shop where Winston buys his diary and rents the room upstairs, exists not as a charismatic, older collector as he appears, but a younger and ruthless man in disguise who works for the Thought Police. TOM PARSONS Winston's neighbor, Tom Parsons, winds up in the Ministry of Love at the same time as Winston. Like some of the Hitler youth, Parson's children turned their father in for some infractions against the Party. Parson's fate: vaporization. AMPLEFORTH A poet-wannabe, Ampleforth works in the Ministry of Truth with Winston. His fate also lies in the dark bowels of the Ministry of Love.

  • WHY OBAMA SHOULD BE IMPEACHED

    OVERVIEW OF SOME OF OBAMA’S IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES In late 2020 and early 2021, the American Democrats attempted to impeach ex-President Donald Trump--again, even after Joe Biden's inauguration. The first partisan impeachment arose from Trump's phone call with the President of Ukraine, whom he asked to investigate corruption charges on Joe Biden. The second partisan impeachment alleges he incited the shocking riot on Capitol Hill. The impeachment proceeds as a means of tarnishing his reputation for the history books, stripping him of his pension, and preventing a run for the Presidency in 2024. Democrats screamed that no Presidential Library should honor him--like the expensive one under construction with the University of Chicago for Barack Obama.[1] Obama's former 2008 campaign manager, David Plouffe, and his half-sister, Maya Kasandra Soetoro, and other partners in crime sit on the board of directors. Attempting to impeach an ex-President became a disturbing precedent, leaving other past Presidents at risk for impeachment. If we think about any other past President deserving of impeachment, Barack Obama immediately comes to mind at the top of the list. Lindsey Graham, showing his distaste for a second impeachment attempt on Trump, brought up the possibility of impeaching ex-President Barack Obama for his blatant and cruel inaction during an organized 2012 terrorist assault on our embassy in Benghazi which left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Stevens. [1] The first and second attempts to impeach Trump in the Senate failed, but maybe such an attempt would not fail with Obama, especially when then Republicans have a term where they control both the House and Senate and presidency. [1] https://meaww.com/lindsey-graham-barack-obama-impeached-lifted-finger-help-siege-benghazi Here's a review of Obama's most impeachable crimes or suggested articles for impeachment. [2] 001: Obama Gate: based on falsified disinformation for FISA warrants from the Christopher Steele dossier. Hillary dipped into her campaign purse to pay for part of it. President Obama essentially arranged for the FBI to spy on the Trump campaign in 2016-- despite the lack of any hard evidence of Trump colluding with Russia. Numerous laws found themselves broken in the case, all pointing to gross abuse of power by President Obama, which is an impeachable offense. Meanwhile the Obama Gang swept its own collusion with Ukraine and China under the Oval Office rug. 002: Spying on Michael Flynn. Obama sat in the Oval Office, fully aware that Michael Flynn, the National Security Adviser coming into the administration, lived under government surveillance. Flynn’s private conversations with the Russian ambassador would walk themselves into media offices, like The New York Times, to fan the flames of alleged Russian collusion. Michael Flynn knew too much about Obama's responsibility for the rise of ISIS and showed a willingness to come forward publicly. 003: Benghazi embassy attack in Libya: Islamic terrorists, destined to join ISIS, murdered Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans in a well-planned attack on the US Embassy, complete with the use of mortars. Obama agreed with dismissing the attack as arising from a spontaneous demonstration laced with discontent over an anti-Islamic video shown in the United States, a flat-out lie. The Obama administration ordered the US military, prepared to rush in to defend the embassy, to stand down, permitting the destruction of the embassy and murders. The Obama administration then "obstructed" an investigation. As we noted earlier, the embassy's fall proved to be critical to allow the US and its allies to gain control of Libyan oil and trafficking routes into the EU. The Obama administration not only allowed the embassy to burn and Americans to die, but they also likely planned the entire event. The "investigation" instead focused on Hillary Clinton, years later, and said she did nothing wrong as she "played dumb" and did an excellent job at it. 004: Illegal firing: a significant donor for Barack Obama and a friend, former NBA player Kevin Johnson and Mayor of Sacramento, used federal grant money earmarked for AmeriCorps and put it into his private nonprofit allegedly to pay off, with hush money, young girls who proved to be his victims for sexual abuse. He paid one girl, who had been just 16 when the alleged molesting took place, over $230,000 of government money. The police refused to press charges. Obama fired, illegally, Gerald Walpin, who served as the inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service, when he investigated Johnson. Walpin sued, saying Obama violated the 2008 Inspector General Act.[3] [4] 005: Obama incited war on police, and especially White police: The Obama administration fully supported and likely created the Black Lives Matter movement to further racial divides, gain Black votes, destroy the economy, and foster anarchy. Obama made speech after speech about racism in the police departments regarding shootings against Blacks when studies would prove him patently wrong. The tragic shootings of Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, and Michael Brown became the subjects of speeches spreading racism against White police, when, in fact, juries would find no wrongdoing by the law. Read my book on Black Lives Matter to see who formed the movement. (Hint: a friend of Bill Ayers and Islamists.) The cold murder of five police officers in 2016 in Dallas spurred a lawsuit that including Barack Obama as a defendant. 006: Obama entered international treaties illegally: Obama bypassed approval of the Senate to sign onto the Paris Climate Accords and the Iran Nuclear Deal, both of which cost the American taxpayers billions of dollars. These acts became undeniable breaches of our constitution. Giving large sums of money, including suitcases full of cash, to the world's largest sponsor of terrorism doesn't make America safer or any of the world. 007: Bribery. We learned that Obama won a Senate seat and the White House from cooperation by opponents both within his party and by "Republicans." Incumbents stepped down or took other steps to either get out of his way or lose—what Michelle Obama called "a lucky series of events." Obama got caught in 2010. He held out an offer to Joe Sestak, D-Pa, for a job in the Obama administration if he would not challenge candidate Arlen Specter for Senate, breaching at least four federal laws. 008: Big Brother: Like communist Big Brother, a symbol for Stalin, spied on everyone in the novel 1984[5] (See my Summary and Expansion[6]) Big Brother Obama spied on everyone with the NSA and especially the media. When the Associated Press began to print the truth about the intent and corruption in the Obama Administration, they secured months of phone records, illegally, from some reporters and editors. Some sources clammed up—exactly what Big Brother wanted. One reporter with Fox News, James Rosen, found himself intimidated with imprisonment and a red target on his back that read "co-conspirator." 009: Obstruction of investigations: In 2014, letters signed by forty-seven inspector generals across the nation accused the Obama Gang of denying full access to documents, thereby obstructing justice—a form of systemic corruption at the federal level. 010: Obama conquered Libya and permitted the murder of Qaddafi illegally. Obama put the UN above the USA and used them for the "authority" to invade Libya to remove Gadhafi for abusing his people—when he already abused them for four decades. The Senate would disapprove of military intervention, so Obama bypassed them—an illegal maneuver to begin a war. Libya had not attacked the United States. Libya and Gaddafi stood in the way of the Obama administration and its communist allies, such as France and the UK, from controlling the Middle East's heart, much of its oil and gold, and ushering into the EU hordes of militant Islamics. 011: IRS scandals: Director of the Exempt Organizations Unit of the IRS, Lois Gail Lerner, spilled Big Brother Obama's IRS beans. Under Obama's directions, the IRS targeted, unfavorably, Tea Party groups seeking tax exemption after Obama became President. Big Brother wanted to silence all opposition, and the Tea Party proved itself a potent thorn in his side.[7] Douglas Shulman, IRS Commissioner, strolled into the White House nearly 160 times while the Tea Party got hit. Hundreds of Tea Party organizations would sue—and win, costing the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in pay-offs. The Obama Gang worked to muzzle conservatives; it also ran up a substantial bill for the taxpayers to pay for their crimes. 012: Trump plot: The Obama team showed Michael Flynn the door for knowing too much about ISIS and the shady deals and ramifications of the Iran Nuclear Dealt. Big Brother left a trail of evidence showing that it aimed to snare Flynn in a perjury trap. Evidence showed that the Obama administration intended to catch Flynn in a perjury trap to undermine Trump, an illegal act reflecting more weaponization of government agencies against conservative groups or individuals of any persuasion. The second Civil War in the United States officially started in November of 2008 when Barack Obama, as representative of an anti-American Deep State, won the presidential election. In the United States, justice for treason may invoke the death penalty. There will be no peace until the Communists are purged of the planet, even if it requires Civil War II and World War III. The smiling actor and fraud, who duped a planet, and who stabbed America in the back a hundred times, and the major players who put him into office, should be the first to go. If nothing is done to punish Obama and his administration and allies, we can assume that all Presidencies hereafter will take advantage of the same abusive power, no matter the political party. It is human nature, and the most effective way to govern for those in power to extact wealth—and more power.

  • Summary Book for Live Free or Die by Sean Hannity (#1 Best Seller: Kindle Books)

    WARNING!: If you are a Democrat don't read this book. The facts about your party, now led by radical socialists, are embarrassingly despicable. If you are a Conservative or Independent and want to survive, then this book and Sean Hannity’s are must-reads. Be aware that your family will always live under constant attack by socialists. Know why. This is a Best Seller Summary and Analysis of LIve Free or Die by Sean Hannity. It is not the original book. Important books demand widespread readership and understanding. Live Free or Die is one of them. Use this Best Selling Summary and Analysis book to: #1 Decide if the original book is for you. Hint: it is! #2 Get chapter-by-chapter main points and takeaways. #3 Gain a better understanding, #4 Learn what you must know in 15-60 minutes. #5 Refresh your memory of the parent book. By publishing his first book in a decade which is guaranteed to be a top bestseller--it already appeared as #1 or #2 in Amazon rankings--Sean Hannity continues to battle the radical socialists and the Left who would just love to eliminate our long tradition of freedom framed by the Founding Fathers. In Live Free or Die: America (and the World) on the Brink, Hannity explores the rugged individualism, self-sufficiency, and the tenets of freedom that propelled America to greatness in a short time. No other nation ever amassed more wealth and power and created more means to advance the human condition. Like an infectious and festering boil, Leftwing resentment, radicalism, and elaborate plans for theft and graft grew in the shadows to undermine democracy beginning in the turbulent 1960s. After 60+ years of sustained effort, they comprise a formidable army of social justice warriors aided and abetted by such institutions as academia, the mainstream media, and the diabolical Deep State which Hannity calls the Leftist Juggernaut. Hannity warns us of a victory in November of 2020 for the Democrats. We can count on even more socialism and its accompanying plans for economic dysfunction and alienation of our populations. The result? A nation nearly unrecognizable from the great America most of us grew up in, appreciated, and loved, the freest and most successful country in the world. Hannity’s book explores the Russian collusion hoax in detail as well as the fake Whistleblower hoax about Trump’s telephone call to the President of Ukraine. He leaves no stone unturned in revealing the impeachment hoax. He covers just about everything important about Trump’s time in office so far. There could not be a more timely and important book. Hannity makes his argument for a viable solution. First: Vote! Second: Inform others of the truth. Third: Support Trump in all ways possible to be re-elected. Hannity is not afraid to be an alarmist about repelling the specter of what he calls the “Leftist Juggernaut.” Lurking in the shadows of a sinister and diabolical Deep State, this Juggernaut is not only out to stomp into oblivion President Trump, but also all Conservatives and the freedom they love. The beast is socialism. The same Conservatives elected Trump to fight this Juggernaut and drain the swamp after eight years of a corrupt and damaging anti-American Obama administration. Under attack from day one of his campaign, Trump--the social media warrior with a personal touch for all of his base--has fought back and wounded the beast to make it more angry than ever. Hannity says he needs our help to finish it off. Hannity chastises Barack Obama and his administration and blames their progressive agenda for “change” as laying the foundation for people like Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and AOC to pop-up as grumpy and bitchy socialist groundhogs. No Obama, no Bernie, no Ilhan Omar, no AOC, and no more big success for the socialist wave of wanton corruption and destruction of all things American. Hannity explains how legislative compromises made by the Republicans helped propel our nation towards being a socialist one as the government continued to expand. Conservatism is marked by less invasive, more decentralized, and overall smaller government and spending. Conservatives believe in following the Constitution to the letter, wielding power only for what was voted on by our Founding Fathers. Leftists believe in tearing it up. Conservatives believe that Americans deserve protection from domestic and foreign threats with a federal government that respects our Bill of Rights and balance of power. Liberals seek to assist others in attacking Americans through domestic and foreign threats with no respect for our Bill of Rights or the balance of power. Liberals want power more than anything else to shape society in their image and favor. Hannity argues that it is liberty that makes America unique and the creativity that blossoms with liberty lead to our economic strength. Freedom is what constrains socialism and authoritarianism that the Left pushes at us continuously. Rather than help most Americans, the Left’s wacky proposals are meant to bankrupt and replace us with un-Americans, both foreign and domestic, whom the Left can control completely. The Left and its progressive socialism are not to be taken lightly, nearly 140 million died and many more suffered, were imprisoned, or were exiled from amoral Leftist regimes. Hannity cautions us that the future of our children and grandchildren depends on what we do now. ABOUT THE BEST SELLER SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS SERIES Important books demand widespread readership and understanding. Live Free or Die by Sean Hannity is one such book. United States of Socialism by Dinesh D’Sousa is another. Scott Campbell’s Best Seller Summary and Analysis series provides a complementary summary of main points that will help the reader to fully understand the longer book from which it was based. A Best Seller Summary and Analysis is not meant to be a substitute for its parent book. As the author, I generally choose Best Sellers which have congruent material to my books. Many of my books have communism, socialism, American Conservatism, and the Deep State as main themes. I believe that most socialists are communists, and socialism is but a more palatable step towards complete communism with a totalitarian rule. Option #1: Read a chapter or section from the parent book, and then the summary and analysis for that part. Option #2: Buy the summary and analysis book first. Make sure the parent book is for you. If it is, then dive into the parent book with a built-in framework. These techniques will help you fully understand and master the concepts and ideas and why they are important. Scott Campbell

  • TED CRUZE AND ANDY NGO TAKE ON ANTIFA ON THE HILL

    The following is an exclusive excerpt from the book titled Antifa: Satan's Communists and Anarchists. ENTER THE GOONS “Black bloc” is the name given to the fashion statement made by Antifa that first arose with increased riots in the 1980s. They wear mostly black masks and/or scarves, almost everything else is black, too, and are so covered up it is difficult to ID them at all. They travel in attack packs, and surround those packs with support Antifa to shield them, so it is even more difficult to prosecute any one of them. Such a group apparently had planned an attack against conservative journalist and Twitter warrior Andy Ngo who filmed Antifa in action and tweeted about them. At a “protest,” he found himself under assault by no less than 12 Antifa in Portland in June of 2019. After punches to the head with assault gloves, quick-drying cement milkshakes were thrown with impunity, and multiple kicks, and he was taken to the hospital and found to have a brain bleed. Andy not only continued his investigative journalism and videotaping Antifa, he escalated it. The intelligent and articulate young man soon appeared on major news networks for interviews and published more articles, then a book suggesting Antifa had plans for a revolution. SENATOR TED CRUZ HEARING Senator Ted Cruz from Texas headed-up a Judiciary Committee hearing on the hill regarding the right of the people to peacefully assemble and speak freely. Cruz emphasized that the violent and looting riots which exploited George Floyd’s death were anything but spontaneous and chance events. They were carefully planned and organized on a large scale. Andy Ngo, now a nationally recognized anti-Antifa spokesperson, a form of near-martyr, found himself invited to speak at the hearing after experiencing the wrath of crowd violence first hand. Cruz shared that the core purpose of the hearing was to further investigate groups like Antifa’s purpose and determine who is behind the violence, murders, and countless assaults. He wanted to also ascertain why some big city mayors had told police to stand down and let Antifa and Black Lives establish mayhem in the streets and destroy billions of dollars worth of businesses and private and public property.

  • WHAT DOES BLACK LIVES MATTER HAVE TO DO WITH MAO ZEDONG?

    The following is from the communist primer found in each of the Legacy of Karl Marx series of books. Don't be fooled! Black Lives Matter is a communist organization, though and through. *MAO ZEDONG Mao came from a successful farming family from the Shaoshan valley in Hunan Province. His birthday was on December 26, 1893. Mao grew up as a brat spoiled by his mother. Peasant farm work was just not for Mao, putting up a wall between him and his dedicated and toiling father. His father had worked his way up from just farming to also dealing in grain. Mao threatened suicide if he would be forced to work in the fields like everyone else in the area. Mao pleaded for going away to school. His father likely was glad to see him go. Mao first moved to a higher primary school close to home, and then, In 1911, the man who would become the world’s biggest mass murderer, the man who would become a sociopath who wanted to rule the world, left his father’s farm and stumbled into Changsha, Hunan’s provincial capital. A few weeks later, Mao found himself surrounded by revolution. The Qing dynasty became embroiled in a spat with revolutionaries just as Mao had begun studying dissidents like Sun Yat-Sen. The fighting had already reached Changsha. Military leaders and wars fascinated the young Mao. Mao enlisted on the side of the revolutionaries, and later he said he learned that political power came from the barrel of a gun. The end of the revolution less than a year later sent Mao searching around for something else to do. He studied history, and he especially had an affinity for classic Western liberalism. Mao jumped into political organizing, helping to form several student associations, one of which, the New People’s Study Society, would have its members join the Communist Party. Mao went off to Beijing to attend Peking University and worked in a library and studied Chen Duxiur and Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiur who were destined to be the CCP’s leading figures. Western liberalism was thrown out the window for Marxism-Leninism and the CCP was officially formed in 1921. Mao found himself a wife and joined the Nationalist Party in 1923. In the summer of 1925, several dozen dissident peasants were shot by foreign police in Shanghai. Mao witnessed the ensuing demonstrations by peasants and that made him realize that the peasants, whom he thought dirty and ignorant, nevertheless had great potential as revolutionaries. Mao joined his Nationalist Party colleagues in the effort to form peasant-based associations and networks bent on revolution-- classic Marxist community organizing. Mao became the head of the propaganda department for the Nationalist Party and editor of its main periodical. RUSSIAN INFLUENCE ON MAO Stalin had worked with the Nationalist Party but initially failed to achieve significant results. Perhaps he even founded the Nationalist Party, because, before, Chiang Kai-shek took over, many of the leaders had been communists. Chiang Kai-Shek wanted independence from Stalin and booted out many communists from positions of authority. The communists had lost and Mao headed up a band of a few hundred peasants, disobeyed attack orders, and ran off into the mountains to fight guerilla-style. Just as the Nationalist Party had miraculously embraced German and Russian communism and forgot about ancient Chinese autocracy, somehow Mao’s army grew miraculously to be big enough and organized enough to defeat Chiang Kai-shek's army. He simply had to have Stalin’s backing to achieve this. Mao was a renegade but a cunning and successful communist renegade, and that caught Stalin’s eye. Mao was Stalin’s weapon to defeat anti-Communist Chiang Kai-shek. Puppeteer Stalin also had some strings attached to Chiang Kai-shek. Stalin held Chiang Kai-shek’s only son, Chiang Ching-kuo, in Russia, apparently as a hostage. Chiang Kai-shek’s army, 500,000 strong, once had Mao surrounded, but let him do his “long march” right through the ranks like the parting of the Red Sea. Stalin nabbed Chiang Ching-kuo as a political hostage after Chiang Kai-shek tried to expel all Soviet advisors from China. Mao Zedong might have just as well had “Made in Russia” stamped in red on his forehead. Not only did the world’s biggest mass-murderer take logistics support and money from Russia, but he also latched onto Marxism. Mao sought to quash democracy and religion at the same time he sought to unite the peasants of some ethnic identities and exterminate others to establish a totalitarian state. Let the workers unite to kill their bosses and take their land for Mao was the idea. Marxism offered the engine behind Mao’s violent revolution and it was backed by rich and powerful communist Russia who had just completed their Bolshevik takeover, Then they eyed on Germany and China. The Bolshevik Revolution had been empowered by the trillionaire Rothschild family, partly to get Standard Oil into Russia, and partly because they had refused them a Federal Reserve. Russia had money and showed itself willing to back, including with weapons, a sadistic sociopathic murderer in exchange for geopolitical gain in China. Soviet archives revealed regular disbursements to the CCP from Russia. According to Chang and Halliday, in Mao: The Unknown Story, receipts were dated from the 1930s on for a total of US$300,000, which is worth about $4 million in today’s currency. The receipts were signed and sealed by one “Mao Zedong.” Without this overwhelmingly generous and regular support from his Soviet comrades, Mao would have peaked in his career as a minor bandit in charge of peasants terrorizing landowners on the outskirts of China. Soon after the end of World War II, Mao was given the entire arsenal of the defeated Japanese Army that had been in Manchuria. With the continuous infusion of Soviet aid, weapons, and logistic support for nearly 20 years, Mao extended his totalitarian terrorist rule to all of China by 1949. Mao had two main enemies, religion and democracy. Both had to be eradicated for Mao to fulfill his plans to conquer the world for himself. Because border regions like Xinjiang and Tibet had minority populations that were majority populations in their homeland, Mao had to deny them the right to vote and then the right to worship, and then the right, sadly, for many to live at all. Democracy spread and adapted to the times' power with representatives chosen by the people. Mao wanted power in his hands and his hands only. Democracy weakened a totalitarian ruler, as it strengthened rule by the people. Mao wanted subjugated masses, not ruling masses. Mao wanted to rule by Mao’s morality, Mao’s whims, and Mao’s agenda. As with any sociopath, he cared not about other people. Some historians claim Mao was a sadist, others say he promoted torture solely because of a lust for power. In either case, Mao seemed to enjoy having many tortured and killed, but didn’t like to get his hands dirty from it. He enjoyed just watching. He was once bragged of burying 460,000 Confucians alive whereas his predecessor had only buried 460 alive. Most agree Mao was a serial sexual predator and had his subordinates supply him with continuous young concubines. Marxist-Leninism handed Mao a license to protect his power that was a monopoly headed up by an elite who were ensconced in an impressive bed made of education and aristocracy. China’s history of autocracy meshed well with the Marxist-Leninist view of society and its relation to state--one of subjugation. Overshadowing the whimsical musings of Confucianism, callous indoctrination became much more straightforward with the systems of the German and Russian communists. It was regimented brainwashing to control all aspects of society and lives. Hegemony arose naturally from Marxism-Leninism and demanded a march for China to conquer its neighbor’s territories. China had too many ethnic minorities to count, and communism was a way to trick their peasants into a broad unification, revolution, and then a surprise crescendo of cries of pain in their demise. Mao’s Marxist-Leninism policies and decisions brought about the death of over 70 million, including the largest man-made famine in world history. Peasant farmers were stripped of all property rights, were forced to work longer and harder in the fields, and they were not allowed to eat the food they had produced. The state needed the food for soldiers and to sell to Russia for arms. Mao had no remorse, it was a good lesson for the people to learn sacrifice for the state. As Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party for 41 years, starting in 1935 and ending with his death in 1976, Mao became history's greatest mass murderer, Mao often focused on ethnic groups and their countries or territories, killing off Mongolians, Manchus, Koreans, Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Hmong. NEW COMMUNIST MOVEMENT In the later part of the 1960s and early part of the 1970s, Mao’s China built upon Marxism-Leninism served to financially back or inspire the New Communist movement. This movement entailed hundreds of worldwide organizations. Some of the larger organizations in the United States included the Communist Labor Party, the League of Revolutionary Struggle, the Puerto Rican Revolutionary Worker Organization, the October League, the Revolutionary Union, and the Black Workers Congress. The Black power and supremacist movement absorbed new processes of radicalization adapted from China. Recall that it was during this period that Black Panthers Eldridge Cleaver and Huey Newton traveled to North Korea and China, respectively. They took on Chinese advisors and tactics. Two of the organizations from the New Communist Movement, the Revolutionary Workers Headquarters and the Proletarian Unity League, merged in 1985 to form the Marxist-Leninist Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) which focused on Black supremacy and activism, the labor movement, LGBTQ movements, student movements, and anti-intervention movements. Black Lives Matter has its roots in FRSO, George Soros and the Democrat Alliance, and the Weather Underground. The three co-founders on paper, Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi, each belong to, sit on the board of directors, or even chair or direct, one or more FRSO organizations.

  • ELLIJAH CUMMINGS: COMMUNIST THROUGH AND THROUGH WORKED TO DESTROY TRADITIONAL AMERICA

    *CUMMINGS, ELIJAH (Deceased) Communist Cummings is deceased but seemed to be signing documents for the Democrats after and he is included in this book because of his influence on contemporary politics. President Trump tweeted criticisms of Cummins and his total failure in Baltimore to provide for a safe, clean city. Cummings played the proverbial and now tiresome race card. The message likely came from the top in the DSA and or the CPC for all Democrat leaders to call Trump a racist for his tweets, even though there was not one racist word in Trump’s tweets at all. Trump did not mention that Elijah Cummings was Black or had African heritage. President Trump said Baltimore is dangerous, poorly managed by Cummings, and had an infestation of rats. Immediately Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Maxine Waters and a small army of other Democrats jumped on the bandwagon to falsely attack Trump as a racist. We saw the same kind of pattern with the defense of Jussie Smollett that included the Democrats and the Hollywood elites. Maybe the top dogs in the DSA or CPC just have an email list and send it out with instructions on what to say to fellow party members. This would be a representation of a classic Deep State organization, the order comes from the top down, and the minions carry it out without question, in unison. Scott Campbell

  • JOHN LEWIS: JUST ANOTHER COMMUNIST PROGRAMMED TO WORK AGAINST AMERICA

    The Civil Rights movement was as much a movement to promote a communist agenda against the American, mostly White, establishment as it was a movement to seek remedies for historic injustice to Blacks. Communists are known for pushing leaders who the people will accept, so they choose people like John Lewis and MLK to back. The following is an exclusive excerpt from: SATAN'S COMMUNISTS, SOCIALISTS, AND BLACKLIST: THE LEGACY OF KARL MARX Lewis, honored as a special guest at the Democratic Socialists of America’s national conference in Atlanta in November of 2007, introduced long-time communist and pro-Soviet Bernie Sanders. Massachusetts CPUSA leader Gary Dotterman, in March 2015, referred to John Lewis as his comrade, hero, and friend. Lewis supported the Marxist Sandinistas In Nicaragua. He supported communist and corrupt ACORN and voted against defunding it. Lewis endorsed Keith Ellison for DNC Chair. Ellison is deeply tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Democratic Socialists of America Political Action Committee endorsed John Lewis’s campaign for Congress in 1996. Lewis wrote an article for the CPUSA newspaper People’s Weekly World, in August 2003, about remembering MLK. Communist periodicals seldom publish articles that are not about communism, communist organizations, or communists. This is more circumstantial evidence that MLK was a communist or at least a communist sympathizer. Lewis marched with MLK, sometimes in the front line, and took a beating from police at Selma like so many others. Lewis’s close association with MLK points to MLK’s communist affinities. After the Civil Rights Act passed, Lewis helped register some 4 million Black voters. Since the Scottsboro boys in the 1930s, the communist party led by the Soviets had used injustice against Blacks to foster a rebellion and to seek the right to vote. John Lewis served as a vice-chairman of the National Committee to Abolish the House Un-American Activities Committee (NCAHUAC) from 1962-64. The committee disguised itself but it was an obvious communist front. The House Un-American Committee, spawned in 1938, sought to investigate potential rebellious activities and disloyalty concerning communist organizations. Soviet dissidents were often in their crosshairs. As vice-chairman, Lewis wanted to defund and scrap the House Un-American Committee. This is evidence that Lewis was himself a communist. The National Committee Against Repressive Legislation replaced the NCAHUAC and Lewis served as a vice-chairman as well for the Southern Region. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), with Stokely Carmichael as its leader, morphed into a black supremacist, separatist, and militant student group. Michelle Obama quoted the writings of Stokely Carmichael for her thesis about Black power while she attended Princeton. Marxist revolutionary John Lewis had been its chairman of the SNCC in 1963 and helped formulate its draft evasion policy for Blacks. Lewis paid tribute, in 1964, to Norman Thomas who had run for President six times under the Socialist Party of America ticket. Lewis said he represented freedom, peace, and equality, when, in reality, he symbolized the communist goals of constant revolution, systemic genocide and enslavement, and permanent membership in the peasant class for the vast majority of people. Communist leaders like Lewis would be in the “elite” class. Lewis became the first to be bestowed with the Eugene Debs Award. Debs served as the founder of the Socialist Party of America. An awards banquet for Lewis took place in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1965. Also in 1965, John Lewis penned an article of praise in Freedom Ways for Paul Robeson, a CPUSA member, and a public admirer of Joseph Stalin. Robeson had called the Soviet dictator, responsible for tens of millions of deaths, and the torture and/or exile of thousands, an inspiration for youth. In April of 1965, at an event celebrating Robeson’s 67th birthday in John Lewis said that the members of SNCC were Robeson’s spiritual children. SNCC chairman Lewis stepped aside for militant and supremacist Stokely Carmichael to take over in 1966. In 1966, the U.S. Attorney General wanted the W.E.B. Du Bois Clubs of America to make records of itself as a Communist-front organization. This registration was to be accomplished according to the Internal Security Act of 1950. Lewis was forcefully and raucously against it. A military organization bent on destroying the USA and dominated by the Socialist Workers Party, the GI Civil Liberties Defense Committee, had John Lewis as a sponsor. Lewis also served as a sponsor of a CPUSA front group that grew out of an organization that worked to free Angela Davis from prison. Lewis acted for a founding conference of the front grouped called the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression. Lewis was a founder, like communists Marcus Raskin and Julian Bond, of the Institute for Southern Studies, a North Carolina-based derivative of the communist Institute for Policy Studies.

  • Valerie Jarret: Communist and Traitor

    *VALERIE JARRET The following is based upon Summary and Rebuttal: Becoming: Michelle Obama. The Chicago Cabal's chosen one had connections to Rabbi Wolf’s synagogue and hundreds of other Rabbis, BettyLu Saltzman, David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel, Lester Crown, and Newton Minow and the Chicago Councill on Global Affairs and Sidley and Austin, and the Jewish Zionist network at the University of Chicago. He just needed one more key group in Chicago to make a successful bid for the White House and that was the mayor's office of Richard M. Daily, Jr. Jarrett’s father-in-law, “a key influence in Harold Washington’s decision to run for the Chicago mayoralty,” according to the Washington Post, facilitated Valerie’s rise through Chicago’s political ranks to Deputy Corporation Counsel for Finance and Development for Washington, the city’s first African-American mayor. After Mayor Washington’s death in 1987, Valerie Jarrett worked as deputy chief of staff for the next in line, Mayor Richard M. Daley. Her colleague Susan Sher helped Jarrett recruit Michelle to Chicago’s City Hall. Jarrett was set up by the Deep State to quickly become a trusted confidante of both the Obamas. That would provide the connection Obama needed to the powerful city headquarters. Don't be fooled by the mainstream media narrative, these connections were not by chance or destiny or fate. They were carefully crafted and plan planned and executed to form a formidable Socialist, Communist and Zionist network to control America and the Middle East, if not elsewhere in the world. Valerie Jarrett was not your average red diaper baby, her senior family members and in-laws were prominent Communists going a long way back, even connecting too young Obama's mentor in Hawaii, Frank Marshall Davis. A geneticist and pathologist, Comrade James Bowman, Valerie Jarrett’s father, had worked in Shiraz (Communist Iran), where Valerie was born, as part of a United States Aid Program. From 1947 to 1953 in Chicago which was when the gifted and prolific, but lying, Communist Marxist journalist who would later serve as a mentor to a young Barack Obama, Frank Marshall Davis, launched his Chicago Star Communist newspaper. According to Communist expert and author Paul Kengor, Bowman and Davis undoubtedly knew one another during these years. Bowman was a Communist who often collaborated with other Chicago-based members of the Party. He had a lengthy FBI file. Bowman fell under special surveillance by the Federal Government because of his involvement with the European Recovery Program (ERP), AKA the Marshall Plan. Judicial Watch concluded that Valerie Jarrett’s father, maternal grandfather, and father-in-law all lived as hardcore Communists who were under investigation by the United States government. Frank Marshall Davis worked with Valerie Jarrett’s grandfather and future father-in-law in Communist Party enclaves in Chicago in the 1940s. Barack Obama, who was Frank Marshall Davis’s personal student and godson, and Valerie Jarrett, who was the daughter-in-law to Vernon Jarrett and granddaughter of Robert Taylor were men with links to pro-Stalinism. They were all linked to the two people in control of the White House, Barack Obama and advisor Valerie Jarrett. This was no coincidence. It would be naive to think that this entire historic group was not working together all along for Communist power. The Islamic Society of North America, “ISNA,” is the biggest and most authoritative Muslim support cluster within the United States. Its annual conference attracts tens of thousands of individuals and, in 2009, featured a speech by Chicago Communist Valerie Jarrett. Some Middle East countries like Iran employ Communism directly. Judicial Watch linked Valerie Jarrett to Chicago scandals having to do with slum building scandals. Some of the buildings were owned and operated by Antoin "Tony" Rezko and Obama's former boss, Allison Davis, at a civil rights firm. Tony Rezko is a convicted felon and was a key fundraiser for Barack Obama for his Senate campaign. The firm that provided legal representation for Rezko over the years was the same firm that employed Barack Obama. A board member for more than one organization that gave support and funding for low-income housing projects in Chicago, Valerie Jarrett was linked in business relations with Rezko and Davis whose counsel was Obama. Rezko slums had a reputation for code violations, rats, drugs, faulty heating, and squatters. Obama would use his influence to secure government funding for Rezko and then watch as Rezko built a shoddy building for profiting. Jarret had managed a similar building, Grove Parc Plaza.

  • Obama Commuted Sentences,or Pardoned nearly 2,000. Most of Them Related to Drug Dealing

    OBAMA PARDONS AND COMMUTES SENTENCES FOR DRUG DEALERS The following arises from: Often law enforcement agencies spend years building cases against major drug dealers and assume the risks of going undercover. If your identity is discovered you're likely dead. At the end of his second term, Obama made it obvious that he was on the side of the drug dealers rather than law enforcement. The Obama Gang set records for commuting sentences and pardons which involved some of the most significant drug dealers including cocaine and meth dealers. Meth addicts turn into zombies and then die. For some of the criminals that Obama pardoned or commuted sentences, their request for reduced sentences had been rejected by judges. In other words, they were hardened or “career” criminals. Obama granted executive clemency to nearly 2,000 federal- level criminals. The vast majority of the criminals granted executive clemency by Obama had been convicted on drug charges. Many had received mandatory and very long sentences. He commuted over 500 life sentences--these had to be some pretty nasty characters. In total, Obama commuted a number of sentences that was more than all 13 of the last presidents--combined. During his last full day in office, on January 19, 2017, Obama set the record for the largest single-day use of clemency power with 330 commutations. Opinion: These horrendous acts were slaps in the face for law enforcement personnel who had not only worked hard to put serious criminals behind bars who were a detriment to society but had risked their lives to do so. These despicable acts of executive clemency are more circumstantial evidence that the Obama Gang was linked to global drug trafficking. Another possible reason for the commutations would be that the Obama Gang wanted our streets flooded with illicit drugs to help distract our youth from traditional academics and advancement. In this way, they could be more easily manipulated by the Deep State to protest, loot, or riot. An estimated 80% of Antifa members are heavy drug users. Opinion: there is an abundance of evidence, including court testimony by government agents, showing that the transnational Deep State Obama Gang had teamed up with both the Sinaloa Cartel and Hezbollah for drug trafficking. One of their territories was the United States Mexican border. The Sinaloa Cartel immigration plaza bosses, with the logistics support of the Obama Gang, could conceivably communicate with government informants to gather intelligence on where and when to cross the border. Opinion: The Obama Gang and the Sinaloa Cartel were business partners and profited together from illegal immigration. The massive illegal immigration of children in 2014 and after, many of which were destined to be sex and/or labor slaves, was condoned and encouraged by the Obama Gang through government policy and selective enforcement of immigration laws. Even though the Sinaloa Cartel may not have been in the final leg for placing sex and labor slaves, they profited from taxes and fees for them to cross the border and were better able to control the border against rival gangs smuggling drugs into the United States. The Democratic party leadership through its unwavering support for the Obama Gang’s policies, knowing their true intent, stand accused as well. Opinion: this helps to explain the caravan strategy to overwhelm a particular entry zone, or “plaza.” Opinion: we can imagine the recruits, with backpacks full of drugs, included among the illegal immigrants--and they will have a good chance of becoming permanent drug-dealing residents of the United States. They will send money back to their country of origin to bring in relatives, some of them also destined to be traffickers. SCOTT CAMPBELL

  • Why Removing Police from Schools will Hurt Students.

    The following is based upon the book: WHEN PROTESTORS BECOME TERRORISTS combines the books on Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Under the Obama Administration, racial quotas for disciplinary actions in high schools across the nation were imposed by the Federal Government. The predictable result was that black high school students would not be disciplined based on their behavior but racial quotas equivalent to other races. This racist “solution,” fully intended by the Obama Administration, reduced school performance by blacks because they had much less fear of discipline. If they broke a rule, and there was an attempt at punishment, community Leftists would complain and call the school personnel “racists" and threaten lawsuits. The schools had their hands tied as far as disciplining blacks. Blacks could commit assault, deal drugs, be tardy, or not show up to school at all without fear of discipline. The root of black poor performance in high school was not racism from the schools but from their home life, their peers' attitude towards "white" education, and the lack of fathers in the household. Not only did black student performance plunge, but their new freedom also disrupted other students, sometimes to the point where other races feared coming to school at all. In this way, the Leftists made sure that all students had less of a chance to advance, and would forever be beholding to the Leftists as perfect recruits for their communist agenda like Black Lives Matter riots. A smart black student who wanted to work hard and go to a good college to advance now faced even more of an uphill battle because of disruptions and harassment at school. Removing police presence from high schools will have the same effect, encouraging crimes such as drug dealing and becoming gang members, and taking away from academics. Just like the Obama Gang used “Racial Quotas for School Discipline” to intentionally create social discord, violence, and anarchy at the high school level, the Obama Deep State instigated a different type of program at the adult level with the same results for Society. So black "community leaders" like those from Black Lives Matter have sold out their race and other minorities to the communists. They want students to not do well and not have majors that lead to jobs. Thus social justice and race-emphasis majors are much preferred to, say, business administration, or engineering, or IT. The Deep State, through groups like Blacks Lives Matters and Antifa, wants students to be uneducated and angry as "victims of racism and capitalism" so they can control and use them as foot soldiers. Soros has been accused of hijacking Black Lives Matter and funding activist groups Media Matters for America, MoveOn.org, and the Tides Foundation to promote a socialist, collectivist and anti-White capitalism agenda. One of his goals is to widen racial divides and to create social anarchy through buying and exploiting district attorneys and their alternative justice programs. Soros pays protesters and some commit assault but are not charged or their charges were dropped through alternative justice through district attorneys he funded for their campaigns. Criminals in big, Democrat controlled cities, especially underage ones, have little fear of being prosecuted. Scott Campbell

  • WHAT DO BLACK LIVES MATTER, THE BLACK PANTHERS, AND MICHELLE OBAMA ALL HAVE IN COMMON?

    The Black Panthers ran drugs, prostitution, embezzlement schemes, the murder of police, and extortion. No wonder they didn't like the police. Black Lives Matter is patterned after the Black Panthers, originally formed in Oakland, CA by Huey Newton and a few other drug gang members. VIDEO #134 Based on the book: BLACK LIVES MATTER: THE SHOCKING AND DARK TRUTH Weather Underground's Eric Mann, a convicted domestic terrorist, worked with the Black Panthers and coached Patrisse Cullors of BLM for ten years before choosing her to co-found. Both BLM and the Black Panthers have slogans for killing police. "Off the pigs!", "Pigs in a blanket (body bag), fry them!", "What do we want? Dead cops!" Police officer John Frey was murdered by Huey Newton Huey Newton was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in 1968 for Frey's murder. Michelle Obama (Michael Robinson) quoted Carmichael in her thesis about black power and pro-segregation positions at Princeton. Black Lives Matter's exaggeration of blacks getting killed by white police and their promotion of hatred of police led to the murder of 5 police by sniper Micah Johnson in Dallas. The Dallas police filed a class-action lawsuit against BLM and the leaders of the Obama administration. Read about Huey Newton and his transformative trip to Communist China, after which he completely changed his strategy and started a kid's school to embezzle part of $7 million in donations. The accountant who figured out the scheme was raped, murdered, and thrown into SF Bay. BLM has Chinese Communist roots through an organization called FRSO. Read about other Black Panthers that BLM idolizes, like convicted murderer Assata Shakur who put two bullets into a policeman's head. Hoax Higher reveals a similar embezzlement scheme involving "Let Girls Learn." Michelle was involved in $70 million going to the daughter of a Pakistan king which never was used for education. Instead of "Let Girls Learn", it was more like "Let's steal some more money!" A similar scheme diverted "Let's Move" money to jihadists. So what do Black Lives Matter, the Black Panthers, and Michelle Obama all have in common? Responsible for dead cops Racism against whites Fraud Marxism Influence from China Ripping off the public for $ Ties to the Deep State Scott Campbell

  • ANTIFA MASS RECRUITING AT UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE CAMPUSES

    *ANTIFA U: CAMPUS RECRUITMENT Based on the books/audiobooks shown below. According to the Open Syllabus Project by Marketwatch,, as of 2020, Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto is the most assigned textbook in all US colleges and universities appearing in over 3,100 syllabi. This is a hint of how far Communism has penetrated the colleges and universities. The Gramscian march of communism into the educational system, discussed in detail in later sections,and has been traditionally sanctioned by liberal governments and funded by taxpayers. Young people tend to be more impressionable and gullible and looking for leaders and some kind of movement to join that is trendy and rebellious. Marxism, when combined with courses and recruiters, fulfills that role. The Muslim Student Assoication is one of the most powerful and, in fact, gave rise to many other Muslim groups in the United States, many of them radical that support terrorism and civilization jihad. Rather than provide a practical education that will lead to success, including landing a job, the educational system in the Humanities seems to be designed to recruit Liberal Democrats as serfs for the Deep State agenda. The Deep State does not want students to succeed by traditional measures, it wants them to do what the Deep State wants and be dependent upon it. Thus today’s social studies intentionally emphasize ethinic and sexual identity and anti-white revolution to create animosity, frustration, vengeance, and divides. Such an environment is perfect for recruiting members for Antifa, and especially from those who cannot make it as millennial successes like programmers or IT specialists, and who bear the marks of frustration or economic impotence. Social Justice and Gender Identity majors will have trouble finding a job, which is exactly what the Deep State wants as it loans money at high interest rates for guaranteed student loans. If there is a default they will be paid off early with the bonus of late fees and penalties. According to a major news network on June 12, 2020, United States universities serve as Antifa recruitment centers and a place to spread their ideology and propaganda. Although they don't dare publish policies that are supportive of Antifa directly, many Universities support Antifa by employing teachers who are sympathetic two or are actual members of Antifa. Although most Antifa groups tend to avoid mass organization to remain cloaked, The Campus Antifascist Network (CAN) is different. CAN infected campuses across the United States and with Trump’s election has metastasized into over 400 chapters that include the University of Illinois, a classic communist, and anti-American hotbed, the University of Michigan, one of the same, the University of Connecticut, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Pittsburgh, and Swarthmore College. CAN stuffs Antifa-promoting propaganda and “black bloc” dress techniques into the ears of disgruntled and gullible young students. The “Antifa” moniker reproduced itself more frequently, and more ubiquitously, paralleling the impressive overall organization despite the lack of headquarters or anointed leaders. This all happened once Trump was elected, suggesting that someone with organizational skills had put the Antifa movement together to help defeat Trump in 2020--someone like a shocked Deep State that crooked Hillary lost. Some professors have participated in Antifa-like violence since Trump was elected. A community college professor and Antifa activist, Eric Clanton, entered a no contest plea to “misdemeanor” assault for allegedly striking President Trump supporters with a bike lock at a Berkeley rally in 2017--and some over the head. This should have been a felony assault-- but Alameda county is one county that receives lots of money from people like George Soros to go easy on Leftist criminals. He donates to the campaign funds for the State District Attorneys and they take care of the rest. A University of Alabama professor who is an Egyptologist by the name of Sarah Parcak advised protesters on social media on how to bring down Confederate monuments, including step-by-step diagrams. High-level academics even justify the violence associated with Antifa by blaming the police as the true source of the problem. Police are trying to stop a riot and the destruction of property by people armed with guns, knives, chemical sprays, cement milkshakes, Molotov cocktails, and clubs--but the violence is their fault? Violent incidents have been routine on college campuses starting about six months after Trump was elected. Many of these were staged, in a fascist way, to prevent conservatives or other speakers who were not aligned with the Democrat Left. Universities don’t do anything at all about Antifa on campus or nearby recruiting students. They are complicit. Many administrators support the communist and anarchist platform and then there’s always worry about speaking out against a group that calls themselves “anti-fascist”-- even though it would be hard to find a group that is more fascist than Antifa itself. Professors post upcoming vents on the campuses and also provide an abundance of courses in the social sciences that are centered on revolutionary Marxism and that intentionally restrict critical thinking. Antifa is smart in that they don’t show a source of formal leadership or have an official headquarters. They exist in relatively autonomous cells but share a remarkably common message, much like ISIS. They do have local "organizers" and those who step up and take control when necessary to be an efficient terrorist machine. On or near campuses, Antifa rarely displays their beloved red and black flag, but they do congregate with their “black bloc” attire at rallies and events to establish their group identity and maintain a disguise en-masse. In September of 2019, Antifa was caught openly recruiting on the University of Florida campus after disseminating flyers to recruit new arrivals with a tempting invitation to attend a "Radical Rush" event held by the "Gainesville Antifascists." After repetitive exposure in class to radical ideology including anti-cop, anti-capitalist, and anti-American rhetoric, college students have been programmed to be receptive to groups like Antifa trying to recruit them. Being “woke” about “social justice” is trendy and pushes people up to higher on social ladders, like Pavlov’s dogs. The bottom line is that the taxpayers are footing the bill for violent organizations that want to destroy the US government and capitalism and defund police departments. Antifa has found a way to benefit by organizing while remaining relatively anonymous because of a lack of traditional headquarters or leaders. They congregate for a riot and then disperse into the night into their splinter groups. Communist and fascist professors at the university level glorify Antifa as freedom fighters who are noble when in reality they are a bunch of frustrated fascist hypocritical druggies who get paid for committing acts of violence and destroying property, and who take advantage of looting opportunities, in alliance with the DSA and the Deep State. Professors openly declare their allegiance and promote Antifa events, requesting that students donate to bail funds. The link between Antifa predators and their chosen campuses is a direct result of university hiring practices, and in my opinion, controlled by the Deep State through funding. Always follow the money sources. The nearly complete scarcity of conservative, and even moderate professors, confirms that many universities have become efficient and prolific propaganda machines for anti-American communists and fascists working with the Deep State.
