Aung San Suu Kyi Is An Authoritarian Leader

 (Charles Petrie’s article from The WASHINGTON POST on 11 January 2019.)

Charles Petrie is sick of ASSK & Burma.

The verdict is in: Aung San Suu Kyi is an authoritarian: A Myanmar court has rejected the appeal of two Reuters journalists jailed for exposing crimes committed by the country’s military against the Rohingya.

No better proof could be needed of the extent to which authoritarianism has once again returned to Myanmar. This anti-democratic resurgence has an unlikely source: the Nobel Peace Prize laureate once reflexively referred to as a democracy "icon.”

It is increasingly apparent that the Myanmar military and its leader share with the de facto President Aung San Suu Kyi a similar vision for the future of the country. It is an age-old vision of domination by a nationalist Buddhist elite, who have difficulty accommodating any form of dissent, and demonstrate very little regard for the aspirations of the other ethnic groups with whom they should be negotiating an end to decades of armed conflict.

As a result, the hopes for democracy and peace in Myanmar are steadily unraveling — and the conditions for any quick return of the Rohingya increasingly becoming elusive. The main differences between the commander in chief of the armed forces, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, and Aung San Suu Kyi, also known as “the Lady,” appear to have less to do with ideology than their desire for power.

New Green Deal: Water Melon Socialism

(Thomas Di Lorenzo’s article from The LEW ROCKWELL on 05 January 2019.)

“Green” Socialism is Still Socialism: Upon taking control of the U.S. House of Representatives the first thing America’s Marxist Party did was to propose a Soviet-style, communistic destruction of American capitalism labeled a “Green New Deal.” 

The Party chose as its spokesperson for this totalitarian venture a young woman named Sandy Ocasio who grew up in one of the wealthiest enclaves in America, Westchester County, New York, but who decided to lie about this to get into politics by calling herself “Alex from the Bronx.” 

Sandy sounds like a poorly-educated-but-well-indoctrinated young communist with a ninth-grade mentality.  She proudly labels herself a “democratic socialist” but as Ludwig von Mises explained, there really is no difference between communism and socialism: they are both attacks on private property and economic freedom.

Why Do Democrats Hate America So Much?

 (David Jolly’s article fromThe BARBWIRE on 07 January 2019.)

Why Do Democrats Hate America So Much? If you have paid any attention to politics over the past few decades, especially this last decade, it makes one wonder why do they hate America so much?

When Barack Obama was in the White House, more than one Democrat said that it’s time to re-write the Constitution to make America the way they think it should be. That automatically should reveal that they don’t like the Constitution or the America we have known and loved for so long. It should also raise some red flags as this kind of talk is tantamount to treason, especially for someone serving in Congress. 

After all, when they are sworn into office, they take the following oath: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

When Activists Become Power-Drunk Congresswomen

(Judi McLeod’s article from The CANADIAN FREE PRESS on 06 January 2019.)

Demo-Socialist Dancing Queen Cortez.

When Activists Become Power-Drunk Politicians: Expect no let up from the pain caused by the ‘We Didn’t Come To Play, We Came to Destroy the USA’,  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-led radicals trying to run Congress into the ditch.

Almost overnight government is no longer government only unadulterated activism, congress is no longer a place for legislation or debate but only activist-engendered catfights where scratching and hissy fits are the order of the day. That’s what you get when activists become power-drunk politicians.

You don’t have to be fact-filled or even right any more but only capable of being able to jump the shark called Twitter. Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has narrowly surpassed fellow Democrat and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in her Twitter following, with almost 1.9 million followers.

Wall Is Coming: President Donald J. Trump

 (Steve Byas’s article from The NEW AMERICAN on 05 January 2019.)

Does the Constitution Allow Trump to Build the Wall Without Congressional Approval? With President Donald Trump and the Democrats in Congress locked in a fight over whether to fund a wall on the southern border of the United States with Mexico, a dispute that has led to a partial shutdown of the federal government, Trump told reporters in the Rose Garden on Friday at the White House that he could build the wall even without congressional funding.

When he made his comments, Trump had just finished meeting with congressional leaders for more than two hours in a vain effort to make a deal to have his request for $5.2 billion funding for a border wall included in a continuing resolution to continue funding activities of the federal government.

“Absolutely, we can call a national emergency,” Trump said in response to a reporter’s question who floated the idea that Trump might declare the building of a wall a response to a national emergency, and then build the wall, anyway. “I haven’t done it. I may do it. I may do it.”

Impeach The Motherfucker & Tax The Rich 70%

 (Staff articles from The POLITICOon 04 January 2019.)

Demo-Socialist poster-girl Ocasio-Cortez floats 70 percent tax on the super wealthy to fund Green New Deal: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is floating an income tax rate as high as 60 to 70 percent on the highest-earning Americans to combat carbon emissions.

Speaking with Anderson Cooper in a “60 Minutes” interview scheduled to air Sunday, Ocasio-Cortez said a dramatic increase in taxes could support her “Green New Deal” goal of eliminating the use of fossil fuels within 12 years — a goal she acknowledges is ambitious.

“What is the problem with trying to push our technological capacities to the furthest extent possible?” Ocasio-Cortez asked. “There’s an element where yeah, people are going to have to start paying their fair share in taxes.”

Dirty Eleven: Newly-elected Anti-Trump Socialists

(Penny Starr’s article from The BREITBART NEWS on 01 January 2019.)

When the 116th Congress convenes on Thursday, many of the newly elected members are bringing an anti-Trump agenda and the goal of fundamentally transforming America even farther to the left than Barack Obama tried to accomplish in his eight years in office.

Here are 11 Democrats (including two clit-less Muslim women) who were elected in the 2018 midterm elections on promises to resist President Donald Trump’s efforts to keep his campaign promises, from replacing Obamacare to building a wall on the United States border with Mexico to extracting the country from harmful trade and climate change agreements.

1. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is one of two Muslim women who will be serving in the House for the next two years. “This is the time that we get to vote out hate, and the way we do it is by electing people like us into places where we make decisions right now, to push back,” then-candidate Rashida Tlaib, said in a Detroit News article published ahead of the midterms.

“I cannot wait to kick some Trump ass when I get to Congress,” said Tlaib, who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Foulmouthed CongressMuslim Rashida Tlaib once told a cheering Muslim crowd that Trump impeachment is coming, “We’re going to go in and impeach the motherfucker.”

Driven To Despair: The Return Of American Socialism

 (Daniel Mallock’s article from The NEW ENGLISH REVIEW in December 2018.)

American politics has rarely been more divisive and confrontational than it is today. Our political system is widely understood and characterized as a controlled, ongoing conflict, now quite heated and intense, between "Right" and "Left." These terms have come to characterize the American political landscape despite their being outmoded and vague.

These core terms "right" and "left" originated during the French Revolution—that unfortunate nightmare of upheaval that eventually swept across Europe in the late 18th century. At the National Convention in revolutionary France prior to the regicide of Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, the supporters of the king and of a more moderate constitutional monarchical republic sat on the right of the hall; the revolutionist Montagnards, later the Jacobins, sat on the left.

After the execution of the king (January, 1793), the revolutionists sitting on the left benches in the Convention called for, and implemented, an extraordinarily swift and radical fundamental overhaul of the existing political system; the ancient régime was wiped away and the liberté/égalité/ fraternité utopian fantasies of the Jacobins forcibly put in place with subsequent catastrophic results. The benches on the right sat empty.

Sharia Patrol In New York City: MCP

 (Staff article from The NEW YORK POST on 08 December 2018.)

New York Muslims have a new security patrol group “MCP”: A car from the new Muslim Community Patrol has been spotted around the city, joining the Jewish enclave’s Shomrim and the Brooklyn Asian Safety Patrol among New York’s culture-specific security groups.

The white Ford Taurus bears insignia nearly identical to those of an NYPD patrol car — with blue horizontal stripes down the sides, a shield on the front driver’s side door and the words “Muslim Community Patrol” descending on the rear door, where a department vehicle would say “Courtesy Professionalism Respect.”

The vehicle was recently spotted cruising along Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge, home to a burgeoning Muslim population. Calls to the Staten Island-based group — which, according to state records, was incorporated last month — went unanswered Sunday.
