Attack of the Transphobic Putin-Nazi Truckers! CJ Hopkins They rolled up on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill like one of the plagues in the Book of Revelations, honking their infernal air horns, the grills of their tractors grinning demonically, the sides of their dry vans painted with blasphemies like “FREEDOM TO CHOOSE,” “MANDATE FREEDOM,” “NO VACCINE MANDATES,” and “UNITED AGAINST TYRANNY.” Yes, that’s right, New Normal Canada has been invaded and now is under siege by hordes of transphobic Putin-Nazi truckers, racist homophobes, anti-Semitic Islamaphobes, and other members of the working classes! According to the corporate media, these racist, Russia-backed, working-class berserkers are running amok through the streets of Ottawa,  waving giant “swastika flags,”   defecating on war memorials ,  sacking multi-million-dollar “soup kitchens,”   and eating the food right out of homeless people’s mouths . Rumor has it, a kill-squad of truckers has been prowling the postnatal w...

As Workers Resist, the Left Recoils That recent working class anti-vaccine mandate protests have been met with either silence or derision from the Left speaks volumes about their allegiances. by Edwin Aponte Photo by Leila Mechoui If you consider yourself on the political Left, you might be forgiven for not knowing very much about the many acts of worker resistance against the COVID-19 vaccination mandates that have taken place all around the world over the last year. This is because the professional Left media and activist class—while happy to cover traditional strike action over union contract disputes, such as with last year’s  John Deere  Company and the more recent  Kroger strike  in the United States—have completely ignored comparable labor struggles undertaken by working people over an issue which defies contemporary cultural associations; leaping over most racial, gender, and social divisions. By making social and economic participation contingent upon the ta...

For the record, I don't consider the 'Build Back Better' crowd to be leftist, at least not according to the classical definition of the word.  I also know people who consider themselves to be socialists, who oppose the 'Build Back Better' crowd and support the Freedom Convoy.  Unfortunately, they seem to be the exception to the rule.   seizing the memes of production el gato malo if you want to see the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of an entire ideology on vivid technicolor display, it’s hard to beat what’s going on right now in canada. the totalitarian “build back better” structures endlessly justified with rhetoric as relentless as it was dishonest are being demolished and supplanted by precisely that thing they claimed to champion: the just power of the people to seek equity and agency. this is literally the alleged intellectual class of the socialist salon getting exactly what it is they have always advocated for and then freaking out about it. and it’s perf...

TK Mashup: The Lab Leak "Conspiracy Theory" "NOT MAN MADE OR GENETICALLY MODIFIED," they cried in unison, until they didn't, as Matt Orfalea's latest trip back in time shows Matt Taibbi  and  Matt Orfalea After Covid-19 hit America’s shores, a question naturally arose: how did this happen? Most of us assumed the mystery would soon be unraveled, that the society of epidemiological detectives who found everything from the rat that transmitted Lassa Fever to the leak that caused viral outbreaks in Marburg and Frankfurt would nail down the origin of the pandemic. It didn’t happen. We were initially told something about bats, a weird animal called a pangolin, and a Chinese “wet market,” but never heard the full story. A combination of the virus originating in an authoritarian state and a sudden seizure of incuriosity among the international press corps led to a strange coverage  détente , in which we weren’t told exactly what happened, but we were told all sensib...

Thanks to CoCoLuv9491 for recommending this video... The Media Outlets Demanding Joe Rogan's Removal from Spotify Spread Far More Disinformation Watch this video on Rumble: https://rumble.com/vtunof-the-media-o... To justify their efforts to pressure Spotify to remove Joe Rogan, employees of media corporations claim to be deeply concerned by the "disinformation" he is spreading. Yet nobody spreads disinformation more aggressively, destructively or recklessly than these media corporations, strongly suggesting some different motive in wanting Rogan silenced.
