Karl Marx devoted “his life to proving that this mysteriously un-analyzable object, social life, or society, is destined by the inner law of its being to contradict itself (the class struggle) and resolve the contradiction in a higher unity (the co-operative commonwealth). He thinks that by committing himself to this one mystical belief, and joining in the struggle of this supernaturally practical entity toward its dialectically determined goal, he can avoid all mysteries and be a purely rational matter-of-fact mind. In Das Kapital, as in The Holy Family, the force which guarantees the evolution of capitalism to the point of rupture, and the creation of a communist state, is that same logical necessity of ascending from the lower to the higher which Hegel laid on the whole Universe in the name of God.” READ MORE

Communist China Is Preparing To Eat Joe Biden’s (Free?) Lunch
China’s cataclysmic cyberattacks against American institutions; rampant intellectual property theft from U.S. enterprises; rapacious trade practices and exploitation of U.S. capital markets in violation of relevant rules and regulations; pervasive influence and espionage efforts across every strategically significant sector of American society, from Congress to corporate boardrooms; corruption of international organizations chiefly subsidized by America; and myriad additional bellicose words and deeds like, “build a socialism that is superior [to] capitalism and lay the foundation for a future where we will win the initiative and have the dominant position“—a future in which Xi argues that “capitalism is bound to die out and socialism is bound to win.” READ MORE

Hong Kong Police Arrest 53 Free Lunch Deniers
Hong Kong police arrested 53 former lawmakers and democracy proponents Wednesday for allegedly violating the new national security law by participating in unofficial election primaries for the territory’s legislature last year. The arrests send the “signal that political pluralism is no longer tolerated in Hong Kong,” EU spokesman Peter Stano told a press conference. The security law is being used “to crush dissent and stifle the exercise of human rights and political freedoms.” Human Rights Watch senior China researcher Maya Wang said the national security law is a blanket law that allows the government to arrest people for exercising their rights. “Hong Kong is looking more like mainland China but where one ends and the other begins is hard to discern,” she said. I say China is trying very hard to ensure Hong Kong gets a fair share of free lunches. READ MORE

The Great (Free Lunch) Reset
Proponents of “The Great Reset” argue that the pandemic proves our former society “doesn’t work,” so we need a tech-focused, “sustainable” future to reduce emissions and thereby “save the planet.” They seem to be telling themselves — and may even truly believe — that they are “saving the planet,” so the ends justify the means. In his book,” The Great Reset” Schwab poses the rhetorical question, “Is it okay to lie to the public for some greater good?” I suppose it’s okay if it means a free lunch! READ MORE

Google has made a U-turn and reinstated TalkRadio’s YouTube channel
In what appeared to be an extraordinary clampdown, Google terminated the station’s YouTube channel at around 1 am, reportedly for violating its ‘community guidelines’. ‘This chilling attack on a broadcaster is the type of thing you see in China. It is no coincidence that TalkRadio is one of the loudest critics of the Government’s mismanagement of the pandemic, nor that the Government is pressuring Big Tech companies to increase censorship under ‘online harms’ policies.

Asymptomatic Spread Revisited
Facebook is offering to throttle people who share data about Asymptomatic Spread of Covid. One of the fact-checkers, William Hanage, is obviously an impartial party and probably loves a free lunch! He has essentially, along with others, called lockdowns a “strawman” (i.e. not real or happening…obvi). He has been a major detractor of the GBD, and is a signer of the John Snow Memo. So yeah, he has a bone to pick in his free lunch bag. Balanced AND impartial. The “fact-checkers” refute something that wasn’t even said in the article and struggle to discredit the problematic study! Win-win. READ MORE
