The Masking of the Servant Class: Ugly COVID Images From the Met Gala Are Now Commonplace While AOC's revolutionary and subversive socialist gown generated buzz, the normalization of maskless elites attended to by faceless servants is grotesque. Glenn Greenwald Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), appears at the 2021 Met Gala maskless in her highly fashionable and subversive gown, as masked workers and servants surround her, ensuring her safety and a smoothly running party, on September 13, 2021 in New York City. (Photo by Noam Galai/GC Images) From the start of the pandemic,  political elites have been repeatedly caught exempting themselves from the restrictive rules they impose on the lives of those over whom they rule.  Governors ,  mayors ,  ministers  and  Speakers of the House  have been filmed violating their own COVID protocols in order to dine with their closest lobbyist-friends, enjoy a coddled hair styling in chic salons, or unwind after si...

To keep troops in Syria, US leaders are lying like in Afghanistan While claiming to oppose "endless military deployments" abroad, the Biden administration is keeping hundreds of US troops in Syria and deceiving the public like its predecessors in Afghanistan. One day after the last US forces left the Kabul airport, President Joe Biden declared that he is "ending an era of major military operations to remake other countries." But while bucking the Pentagon and DC foreign policy establishment in withdrawing from Afghanistan, the Biden administration has confirmed that it’s keeping hundreds of troops in Syria to occupy the oil-rich northeast – about one-third of the country. And just like predecessors who misled the public about US progress in Afghanistan, Biden is overseeing a similar deception that hides both the reality of US operations on Syrian territory and the actual motives for keeping troops there indefinitely. The administration's formal pledge to co...

CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN, MASK AND VACCINE FAILURES REVEAL THE ARROGANCE OF HUMANISM Mark Oshinskie When I worked in a law office, a co-worker named Brian often dropped in, uninvited, to chat. Brian was a tiresomely liberal Democrat, an office gossip and a pedantic busybody. One day, Brian unilaterally decided that a picture on my wall was slightly askew. Without asking, Brian walked up to the framed farmscape, turned it and stepped away. As he did, the print fell to the floor, breaking the glass and leaving a lasting, six inch vertical scratch on the wall. Brian was later named a Superior Court Judge. Why not? He obviously had such good judgment. Or at least political connections. Humans have often worsened the world with their ham-handed interventions. Via technology and ever-growing central governments, opportunities to intervene in a top-down manner have inexorably broadened and deepened. The magnitude of damage caused by mass-scale efforts to control human affairs has grown commensura...

Our attitude to death determines how we live By Frank Palmer - September 12, 2021 Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Email IT SEEMED an ordinary Sunday morning in November 2017. My last words to her were mundane. ‘Could you pick up a newspaper after you have dropped us off?’ My daughter and I were getting ready to be given a lift to the park to walk the dog while my wife went outside to get the car ready. Five minutes later ...

Scotland’s push to make sexism a crime is being steered by a group of biased feminists who want to re-socialise us 12 Sep, 2021 08:04 Get short URL © Getty Images / LordHenriVoton Follow RT on Dr Stuart Waiton is a senior lecturer in sociology and criminology at Abertay University.

But a working group in Scotland investigating criminalising misogyny is typical of a change in approach, where the elite try to impose their ideology on the public. Scotland is developing some of the most authoritarian laws in the Western world. Having already made saying offensive things in the comfort of your own home a potential hate crime, the Scottis...
