Fascist is as fascist does: The Left are today's real fascists

There is a disturbing trend in American politics that involves attributing the vilest political ideologies to conservatives (or anyone who is right of Marx) regardless of whether that label actually applies or not.

Since Trump's electoral win in 2016, the Left has rediscovered their love of screaming the word Fascist (and racist and sexist and Nazi) at pretty much anyone whom the label doesn't apply to. Accept the right to keep and bear arms? Fascist! Accept there are only two genders? Fascist! Accept that free markets are the best way to increase the quality of life of everyone, poor and rich, black and white, conservative and liberal? FASCIST!!

Before the word loses all meaning (George Orwell wrote in 1944 that "the word 'Fascism' is almost entirely meaningless ... almost any English person would accept 'bully' as a synonym for 'Fascist,'") let's discuss what "fascist" actually means, where it comes from, and who are the real fascists in America.

Facebook blocks prominent gun rights organization just as two anti-gun ballot initiatives are getting off the ground

facebook censorship, facebook bans gun rights organization

Our *good friends* at Facebook have apparently blocked Oregon Firearms Federation founder and director Kevin Starrett from being able to post a few days ago.

"I have no idea why I was blocked and FB does not respond to questions about it. Clearly we have always had strong views posted on FB with no problems. But if any random individual can complain and silence you, Facebook is a forum we will be moving away from" Starrett tells The Gateway Pundit.

Comment: The disingenuous hedging on the part of Zuckerberg who claimed Facebook considers itself to be a 'platform for all ideas' is absurd - outright censorship of any person or organization whose opinions run counter to the establishment is well documented:

Israel border guard gets 9 months in jail for shooting dead Palestinian teen protester

An Israeli border guard has been jailed for nine months after being found guilty of shooting dead a teenage Palestinian protester in the West Bank in 2014.

The prosecution reached a plea bargain with the accused, Ben Deri, after a Jerusalem court found the officer caused the death of 17-year-old Nadeem Siam Nawarah by using live ammunition instead of rubber bullets to disperse a crowd during demonstrations in the village of Beitunia, near Ramallah. Deri was found guilty of causing death by negligence.

In his judgement, Judge Daniel Teperberg said Deri committed severe harm to Israeli values of "sanctity of life and the human right to wellbeing." Deri was jailed for nine months and received an additional six-month suspended sentence. Prosecutors had accused Deri of deliberately switching his rubber bullets for live rounds but his indictment was amended as part of his plea deal.

Red Cross official: War-torn Yemen's infrastructure in full collapse, crisis is one of the worst

Yemen, where Saudi Arabia is waging a bombing campaign with thousands of civilian victims, is facing the collapse of its whole infrastructure and not enough aid is coming in, the former Red Cross head in Yemen told RT.

"It's wider than a famine," Alexandre Faite said of the situation in the country. "There's a problem with structural collapse of the system in Yemen. You have problems of water, you have problems of sanitation... There's also a crisis that has led to a million suspected cases of cholera last year."

With the country's infrastructure falling apart due to the ongoing fighting, "it's not only one of the most serious crises that I've seen, it's one of the most complicated," the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) official said.

Duma committee approves proposal for return of smoking areas in Russian airports

RT
Wed, 25 Apr 2018 14:52 UTC

Despite protests from the Health Ministry, the Lower House committee for transport has approved a bill that, if passed, would allow the return of smoking areas in airports.

The sponsor of the bill, MP Sergey Boyarsky (United Russia), explained the motion by the fact that the current blanket ban on smoking in airports only increases the number of civil offences, because some smokers simply cannot stand prolonged deprivation regardless of punishment.

In addition, such illegal smoking subjects other people to tobacco smoke, potentially damaging their health, which would not happen in dedicated smoking lounges. Finally, smoking outside special areas in airports is dangerous as these facilities hold both highly flammable substances and a lot of visitors.

Boyarsky also noted that the World Health Organization's framework convention on tobacco control, which Russia signed in 2008, contains no recommendations on banning smoking in or near airports.

Anti-Christian Democrats refuse to confirm government appointee her job in Iowa for single comment on conservative article

You don't have to be a Trump nominee to face the Christian inquisition. Just ask Iowa conservatives. The bad blood that's turned the hearings of Mike Pompeo, Russell Vought, and Amy Barrett into anti-faith slugfests seems to be spilling over into state politics, too. And at least one military wife is out of a job because of it.

By every other measure, Katherine Asjes was "more than qualified" to join the Iowa Board of Medicine. With a strong background in hospital PR and the support of Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds, most people thought Asjes was a shoo-in. So, when her nomination failed to get the 33 votes she needed for confirmation, the one question most people had was: Why?

According to the liberals who opposed her, it was simple. She was too religious for the job. Critics, including liberal ringleader state Sen. Tony Bisignano, a Democrat, urged his party to reject Asjes because of a single comment she made on a Catholic World Report post. The article, "Re-Rebuilding a Bridge: The Connection between Contraception and the LGBT Community," raised "red flags," Democrats said.

Barnard College alumni opposes Israeli divestment backed by large majority of students

Students Barnard College divest from Israel

Students at New York's prestigious Barnard College vote to divest from Israel

Barnard is to Columbia University as Radcliffe was to Harvard - both Cambridge, MA schools fully integrated in 1999.

Barnard and Radcliffe are two so-called Seven Sisters northeastern US liberal arts colleges - Vassar and Radcliffe now co-educational, Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, and Wellesley remaining all-female.

Around one-third of Barnard students are Jewish. Last week, the student body voted nearly two -to-one to divest from companies complicit with Israeli human rights violations.

According to the school's Student Government Association, 59% of students cast ballots, the largest referendum turnout in school history.

In April 2016, an initiative called Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) was launched by Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine, along with Barnard/Columbia Jewish Voice for Peace.

It called on Barnard and Columbia to divest from stocks, funds, and other investments in companies profiting from Israeli violations of international law and Palestinian human rights through colonization, militarized occupation, and apartheid.

Comment: Israel's horrific killings of unarmed Palestinians in Gaza have so outraged the public that a new wave of support has been garnered for the BDS movement despite ongoing resistance from the usual apologists:

Self-described Earth Day founder Ira Einhorn murdered his girlfriend, stuffed her body in a trunk and left it in his closet

Convicted murderer Ira Einhorn

Here's an inconvenient truth about a self-described co-founder of Earth Day: he murdered and composted his girlfriend. Environmental activist and self-proclaimed Earth Day co-founder Ira Einhorn had a dark side.

Einhorn was found guilty of murdering his ex-girlfriend and stuffing her "composted" body inside a trunk, NBC News reported in 2011.

After five years of being together, Helen Maddux broke up with Einhorn. Enraged, he threatened to throw Maddux's belongings onto the street if she didn't come by to get them. She went to Einhorn's apartment to retrieve them on Sept. 9, 1977, but was never seen again.

Maddux went missing after going out to the neighborhood co-op to buy tofu and sprouts, Einhorn told police several weeks later.

Syracuse U suspends frat for "offensive" skit roasting new conservative brother

Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud announced the fraternity was suspended over videos with racist, sexist content. Syverud described the video, as racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, sexist and hostile to people with disabilities.

Comment: Wow. That's pretty much all of 'em. Guess it's "to the gulag" for the hate offenders...

More than a dozen Theta Tau fraternity members were "removed from academic participation" after a video emerged showing members participating in racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic skits, according to school officials.

The Daily Orange published a video that shows people in Theta Tau's house miming the sexual assault of a person with disabilities. The recording shows a person sitting in a rolling chair while three people block him from view and appear to mimic forcing him to perform oral sex.

"He's drooling out of his mouth because he's retarded in a wheelchair," one person says. "So the hole is already very lubricated."

During a separate recording of one of the videos an individual forces a person to his knees having him repeat an "oath," that includes racial slurs.

"I solemnly swear to always have hatred in my heart for n*ggers, sp*cs and most importantly the f*ckin' k*kes," the person on his knees repeats.

Comment: So in fact, the frat brothers were targeting a conservative member with stereotypical insults, but it ended up backfiring on them. Looks like liberals just can't win...

The Justice Department has awarded a $1 million grant to Florida state and local law enforcement to cover expenses related to the Parkland high school shooting earlier this year.

The grant is intended to pay salary and overtime expenses for the first responders who arrived at the scene, according to a Justice Department release shared by ABC News.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement that the department "stands ready to help them in any way we can."

"The school shooting in Parkland shocked and horrified the nation, but the community and law enforcement at all levels have shown resilience and determination," Sessions said. "Today we offer $1 million to support the police who have been working overtime in the aftermath of this tragedy."

"They can be sure about this: we have their backs," he added.

Comment: One might argue that the DOJ is rewarding gross incompetence considering the many failures of local law enforcement to prevent the shooting or respond appropriately to the crisis.
