The socialist government of South Africa has sanctioned killings of hundreds of property owners in recent years.
Now, once again, the government is making clear its intention to remove white farmers from the land and take the land without compensation. See here.

China’s censorship regime once again kicked into full swing to conceal information that a major Chinese vaccine producer has produced and sold many hundreds of thousands of doses of vaccines which were either “substandard,” contained little or no vaccine, or contaminated.
The Chinese internet has scrubbed all information about the coverrup. Online searches for content with words such as ‘vaccine’ yield no information about the scandal.
Chinese government censors previously scrubbed the country’s internet of all info about deaths from contaminated infant formula in 2008. See here.

The GDP of the U.S.–the total economic output of the country annually–is about $16 trillion annually. (And this is deceptively large because it includes government spending in addition to private spending–and government funds are actually taken (and therefore reduced) from the private sector).
A new study predicts that Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” plan would cost some $32.6 trillion over ten years. That’s roughly $2.5 to $3 trillion annually.
The findings are similar to several independent studies of the proposal.
Doubling all federal and corporate taxes would not bring in enough money to pay for the proposal.

Anyone who thinks that people in the west are free because they can vote should be watching the ‘Brexit’ events in England.
Two years ago, Brits defied their own government and EVERY MAJOR NEWS OUTLET AND MAJOR SOCIAL INSTITUTION (many of which–like those in the U.S.–are secretly government funded and controlled) and voted to leave the European Union.
First the world’s governments and ‘mainstream’ (meaning government-supporting) media predicted financial collapse for England. That didn’t happen (and in fact, England is thriving financially and outperforming other European economies).
Now the government of Britain is dragging its feet–openly refusing to exit the E.U. Some government official say the people will need to vote A SECOND TIME to assure the government that they really want freedom.
And now the government has summoned the military to be at the ready when deadlines approach and government fails to deliver on independence. See here.

Many thousands of U.S. military veterans have died waiting for government slave plantation health care at the Veterans Administration. The VA inspector general recently reported that it is possible that over 300,000 veterans have died while waiting for their appointments.
Last June, it was reported that nearly 100 veterans died while waiting for health care at the Los Angeles VA hospital.
Now, in Denver, Colorado, multiple whistleblowers in a VA facility have come forward to say that they spent as much as an entire year being paid to do nothing.
Some VA employees were paid close to $100,000 a year and had no assigned duties at the office.
Government “workers” at the Denver facility “pretty much star[e] at the wall all day kind of just hanging out every day pretty much with nothing to do.” The entire office of 11 employees basically did no work from April 2017 to April 2018.
“I`m not going to lie I did not have any work assigned” said one whistleblower.

New research demonstrates what most people already know:
Government social spending has grown substantially over the past 50 years, even as wages have stagnated.
The new book by Cornell political scientist Suzanne Mettler, “The Government-Citizen Disconnect” examines 21 federal programs including Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP, and the home mortgage interest deduction. Mettler finds that 96 percent of adults have received benefits from at least one of these policies, and that the average person has utilized five government programs. What’s more, those who get the most tend to have the most negative anti-government attitudes.
Mettler is supportive of expansive government programs and expresses astonishment. But the explanation is a simple one: government is a horrible guest, neighbor, provider, and confidant. Those who know government best are most likely to regard it as an enemy. Those who adore and trust intrusive government have had the least firsthand knowledge of it.

Recently, during July 2018, Gallup conducted a telephone survey of a random sample of 1,033—adults, ages 18+, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
Each respondent was asked “What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?”
The thousand-plus Americans gave some 47 different answers.
Not one gave climate change or manmade global warming as the most important problem facing the country.
As documented many times, catastrophic-manmade-climate-change-by-CO2 is a political issue only for wealthy government (and government-trusting) elites. It is not an issue of interest for the vast majority of Americans.

Music legend Dolly Parton was one of 12 kids who grew up in rural Tennessee in a one-room shack. As a child she slept with 3 or 4 sisters in the same bed.
Her own father was illiterate.
Today Dolly is the wealthiest resident of her county, and the largest employer in the county.
She spends millions annually to promote government-free education and literacy.
Each month, Dolly’s program mails a free, high quality, age appropriate book directly to the homes of children regardless of income.

It is well documented that most “mainstream” news is under the pay and support of the government.
Now intrepid journalist Glenn Greenwald documents that MSNBC and NBC are knowingly and unapologetically publishing fake news supported by the CIA.
Even when the public loudly alerts NBC and MSNBC executives about their false reporting, the networks refuse to correct the fake news.
“That’s because NBC News and MSNBC have essentially merged with the CIA and intelligence community and thus, use their tactics,” according to Greenwald.
“The network is filled with former generals and CIA officials who are part of the community that pioneered these smear tactics of accusing journalists and critics they dislike of being traitors, spies, and Kremlin loyalists.” See here.

The people of Turkey may get a brief period of relief from government workers.
Turkish president Erdogan has purged some 130,000 government workers over the past several years, claiming they were associated with ‘terrorist’ movements. Thousands more have been arrested and imprisoned.
In almost every instance, Erdogan security forces claim the employees are associated with exiled cleric Fetullah Gulen. Gulen now lives in the U.S. and has invested heavily in American private charter schools.
This past week, after Erdogan claims to have been reelected to another 5-year term, Turkish authorities dismissed more than 18,000 state employees for alleged ties to ‘terror.’
An emergency decree published in Turkey’s Official Gazette listed the names, saying they had been “removed from public duty” over their alleged links to organizations that “act against national security.”
