My sense is that we have drifted far from the true nature of life, and have grown dangerously out of balance, divided, and fragmented. Over time we have lost our ability to perceive life in its wholeness, and now, in the actual reality of living in a masked, socially distanced, self-isolating world of almost 8 billion people, this truth is unavoidably right in front of our faces.
Humans aren’t as mysterious as we’d like to believe. We’re creatures of habit, predictability and pattern, and we love to follow programs. By carefully observing the patterns in life, the sages and wisdom keepers of generations long gone were able to envision our current predicament.
I came across a passage from Lao Tzu’s the Hua Hu Ching, in which the venerable Lao Tzu seems to speak directly to us today in this time of great crisis. In an oration with a student, Lao Tzu explains how the human mind of the future will deteriorate into fragmentation, specifically noting that the intellectual element of the mind will take over.
“Kind prince, there is great power in an integrated and sincere mind. By keeping their minds whole and untouched, the ancient sages evolved profound mental and spiritual abilities. They understood that intellectual development by itself fragments the mind and can lead a person far from the true nature of life. In the future, humanity will overemphasize the intellectual element of the mind. Instead of recognizing the wholeness of life, people will perceive life as having a worldly aspect and a spiritual aspect that are separate and unrelated to each other. People will also lose themselves in isolated fragments of conceptual information and become the victims rather than the masters of their knowledge.” ~The Complete Works of Lao Tzu: Tao Teh Ching and Hua Hu Ching, translated by Master Hua-Ching Ni

Lao Tzu goes on to comment on how we, ‘the people of the future,’ can rectify this situation, noting that we will become dependent on modern ideas which don’t serve us well, while shunning holistic knowledge which may be of great benefit to the times. He offers the following insight.
“The remedy for people of the future age of great confusion lies in the ancient knowledge of the integral way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation.

They did not seek out special activities for recreation; their work and recreation were one and the same.
Their forms of exercise developed not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well, through the harmonization of internal energies. Their music functioned as a bridge between mind and spirit and was not just an emotional release.

One month ago in late September Biden was predicted to win the election big:
Joe Biden’s chances of winning the Electoral College rose to 76.7%, according to the latest run of poll aggregator FiveThirtyEight’s election forecasting model, from 76.6% on Sept. 24. He is predicted to win 352 of 538 electoral votes.
But the chances of winning the election for Biden without winning Florida become much more difficult. Florida has gone with the winner of the election since 1996. CNN said a month ago Biden has only a 40% chance of winning the election without winning Florida:
On the other hand, Biden has a number of ways to win without Florida. His easiest path (the states Hillary Clinton won in 2016 and Arizona, Michigan, Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district and Wisconsin) and his second easiest path (the Clinton states plus Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania) don’t rely on Florida. That’s why statistical modeling from FiveThirtyEight and Jack Kersting indicate that Biden has a better than a 95% chance of winning the entire election if he wins in Florida. And even if he loses Florida, Biden still has about a 40% chance of winning the entire election.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-11-03--New Fast Radio Bursts from Inside the Milky Way May Solve More than One Major Cosmic Mystery

( Strange Sounds ) Magnetar SGR 1935+2154 , which in April emitted the first known fast radio burst from inside the Milky Way , has flared up once more , giving astronomers yet another chance to solve more than one major cosmic mystery .
On 8 October 2020 , the CHIME/FRB collaboration detected SGR 1935+2154 emitting three millisecond radio bursts in three seconds .
Following up on the CHIME/FRB detection , the FAST radio telescope found something else – a pulsed radio emission consistent with the magnetar ’ s spin period .
“ It ’ s really exciting to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ m optimistic that as we study these bursts more carefully , it will help us better understand the potential relationship between magnetars and fast radio bursts , ” astronomer Deborah Good of the University of British Columbia in Canada , and member of the CHIME/FRB , told ScienceAlert .
The detections , reported in The Astronomer ’ s Telegram , are currently undergoing analysis .
Before April of this year , fast radio bursts ( FRBs ) had only ever been detected coming from outside the galaxy , usually from sources millions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was discovered in 2007 , and ever since , astronomers have been trying to figure out what causes them .
As the name implies , FRBs are bursts of extremely powerful radio waves detected in the sky , some discharging more energy than hundreds of millions of Suns .
They last mere milliseconds .
Because most fast radio burst sources seem to flare once and haven ’ t been detected repeating , they ’ re extremely unpredictable .
In addition , the ones we ’ ve detected usually come from so far away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out individual stars .
Both of these characteristics make FRBs challenging to track down either to an exact source galaxy , or a known cause .
But SGR 1935+2154 is only around 30,000 light-years away .
On 28 April 2020 , it spat out a powerful millisecond-duration burst , which has since been named FRB 200428 in keeping with fast radio burst naming conventions .
Once the power of the signal was corrected for distance , FRB 200428 was found to be not quite as powerful as extragalactic fast radio bursts – but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ If the same signal came from a nearby galaxy , like one of the nearby typical FRB galaxies , it would look like an FRB to us , ” astronomer Shrinivas Kulkarni of Caltech told ScienceAlert in May .
“ Something like this has never been seen before.
“ We don ’ t know much about the three new bursts yet .
Because scientists are still working on the data , it ’ s possible that some early conclusions are likely to change , Good told ScienceAlert .
But we can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and unlike FRB 200428 .
They are a little less powerful again , but they are all still incredibly strong , and all just milliseconds long .
“ Although less bright than the detection earlier this year , these are still very bright bursts which we ’ d see if they were extragalactic , ” Good said .
“ One of the most interesting aspects of this detection is that our three bursts seem to have occurred within one rotation period .
The magnetar is known to rotate once every ~3.24 seconds , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ separated by 0.954 seconds , and the second and third were separated by 1.949 seconds .
That ’ s a bit unusual , and I think it ’ s something that we ’ ll be looking into further going forward.
“ That could reveal something new and useful about magnetar behaviour , because – let ’ s face it – they are pretty weird .
Magnetars – of which we have only confirmed 24 to date – are a type of neutron star ; that ’ s the collapsed core of a dead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a black hole .
Neutron stars are small and dense , about 20 kilometres ( 12 miles ) in diameter , with a maximum mass of about two Suns .
But magnetars add something else to the mix : a shockingly powerful magnetic field .
These jaw-dropping fields are around a quadrillion times more powerful than Earth ’ s magnetic field , and a thousand times more powerful than that of a normal neutron star .
And we still don ’ t fully understand how they got that way .
But we do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As gravity tries to keep the star together – an inward force – the magnetic field , pulling outward , is so powerful , it distorts the star ’ s shape .
This leads to ongoing tension which occasionally produces gargantuan starquakes and giant magnetar flares .
SGR 1935+2154 has been undergoing such activity , suggesting a link between magnetar tantrums and at least some FRBs .
Obviously , astronomers have found the source of the first intra-galactic FRB to be of intense interest .
When CHIME/FRB reported their detection , other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the star , including a team led by Zhu Weiwei of the National Astronomical Observatories of China who had access to FAST , the largest single-aperture radio telescope in the world .
And they found something interesting , also reported in The Astronomer ’ s Telegram – pulsed radio emission .
These radio pulses were nowhere near as strong as the bursts , but they ’ re extremely rare : If validated , SGR 1935+2154 will only be the sixth magnetar with pulsed radio emission .
And the pulse period was found to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ star ’ s spin period .
This is curious , because so far , astronomers have struggled to find a link between magnetars and radio pulsars .
Pulsars are another type of neutron star ; they have a more normal magnetic field , but they pulse in radio waves as they spin , and astronomers have long tried to figure out how the two types of stars are related .
Earlier this year , Australian astronomers identified a magnetar that was behaving like a radio pulsar – a possible “ missing link ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least some magnetars could evolve into pulsars .
SGR 1935+2154 could be another piece of the puzzle .
“ Based on these results and the increasing bursting activities , we speculate that the magnetar may be in the process of turning into an active radio pulsar , ” Weiwei ’ s team wrote .
What an absolutely bloody fascinating little star this is turning out to be .
Recently the Breakthrough Listen project ( that seeks to find extra-terrestrial life ) released a group of 9 FRB ( Fast Radio Burst ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ light years away .
This video shows a couple of those recordings combined , and slowed down significantly to examine what might be in them .

The detections, reported in The Astronomer’s Telegram, are currently undergoing analysis.

Once the power of the signal was corrected for distance, FRB 200428 was found to be not quite as powerful as extragalactic fast radio bursts – but everything else about it fit the profile.
“If the same signal came from a nearby galaxy, like one of the nearby typical FRB galaxies, it would look like an FRB to us,” astronomer Shrinivas Kulkarni of Caltech told ScienceAlert in May. “Something like this has never been seen before.“
We don’t know much about the three new bursts yet. Because scientists are still working on the data, it’s possible that some early conclusions are likely to change, Good told ScienceAlert. But we can already tell that they are both like and unlike FRB 200428.

Neutron stars are small and dense, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) in diameter, with a maximum mass of about two Suns.

These jaw-dropping fields are around a quadrillion times more powerful than Earth’s magnetic field, and a thousand times more powerful than that of a normal neutron star. And we still don’t fully understand how they got that way.

When CHIME/FRB reported their detection, other astronomers went to have a look at the star, including a team led by Zhu Weiwei of the National Astronomical Observatories of China who had access to FAST, the largest single-aperture radio telescope in the world.
And they found something interesting, also reported in The Astronomer’s Telegram – pulsed radio emission. These radio pulses were nowhere near as strong as the bursts, but they’re extremely rare: If validated, SGR 1935+2154 will only be the sixth magnetar with pulsed radio emission. And the pulse period was found to be 3.24781 seconds – almost exactly the star’s spin period.
This is curious, because so far, astronomers have struggled to find a link between magnetars and radio pulsars. Pulsars are another type of neutron star; they have a more normal magnetic field, but they pulse in radio waves as they spin, and astronomers have long tried to figure out how the two types of stars are related.
Earlier this year, Australian astronomers identified a magnetar that was behaving like a radio pulsar – a possible “missing link” between the two, and evidence that at least some magnetars could evolve into pulsars. SGR 1935+2154 could be another piece of the puzzle.
“Based on these results and the increasing bursting activities, we speculate that the magnetar may be in the process of turning into an active radio pulsar,” Weiwei’s team wrote.
What an absolutely bloody fascinating little star this is turning out to be.
Recently the Breakthrough Listen project (that seeks to find extra-terrestrial life) released a group of 9 FRB (Fast Radio Burst) recordings from a dwarf galaxy 3 billion light years away. This video shows a couple of those recordings combined, and slowed down significantly to examine what might be in them.

Theogonis of Megara divided mankind into two classes of people, the base and the noble. As he said, living through a revolutionary period in ancient Greek society during the rise of democracy, “The deckhands are in control, and the base have the upper hand over the noble.” The outlook of Theogonis is inherently conflictual and violent, not to mention truly classist.
While it is true that much of Theogonis’ poetry reflects his own concerns about Greek societal transformation, his general attitude is often attacked by critics of high culture for its supposed “whiteness,” inegalitarianism, and gendered supremacism.

The constant attack on high culture, however, is part of the broader rejection of tradition, hierarchy, and heritage that necessarily accompanies high culture. High culture is the product of tradition as much as it is individual genius, one cannot marvel at Michelangelo’s “David” and be so blind to its blending of classical humanist and biblical traditions some two millennia after the fact. The genius of Michelangelo, likewise, would be impossible if not for the Catholic and Platonic traditions which informed his spirit. But one need not be Catholic or Platonic to look in awe and wonder at Michelangelo’s handiwork.
Likewise, high culture necessarily entails a hierarchy over and against low culture—the “base” and vulgar reality which Theogonis does speak of. Heritage, too, plays a part in high culture. High culture does not spring into existence ex nihilo; it is something rooted, grown over time, and blossoms to greater and greater perfection as time goes on. One can see the progression of artistic creativity over the eras. High culture unites past, present, and future together in a seamless waltz of true, genuine, progression.
But the left-wing criticism of high culture on hierarchal grounds also misses the point. We all intuitively know, as Plato knew, that some things are less beautiful, less good, and less noble than others; a blossoming tree in a river valley is undeniably more beautiful, good, and noble than a dying and shriveled tree alone in an empty and barren plain. One gives us an ideal of perfection, harmony, and the good life. The other is instructive in avoidance, the base, and the bad. So, too, do most people intuitively know this until they are instructed and brainwashed to think otherwise.
The attack on high culture is the result of the avant-garde’s nihilistic rejection of the pillars from which high culture rests: tradition, hierarchy, and heritage. But it also stems from a deep-seated totalitarianism of command and control, cultural Bolshevism and revolutionary vanguardism. They serve as its guiding spirit.
The enemies of high culture believe the masses to be lumpenproletariat, incapable of seeing the good or acting in accord with their own interests. Thus, as was the case with Walter Benjamin, the task of the avant-garde revolutionary is to bring art and culture down to the masses, politicize it to the point of denying transcendence, then subsequently weaponize art for mere political ends. The avant-garde revolutionary fancies himself the noble and good soul who rules over the base and deckhand but does so, of course, with supposed good intentions.
By contrast, the defender of high culture believes that once people are exposed to beauty, goodness, and nobility, they will naturally gravitate to the higher and finer things in life. The high culturalist gives the masses a foretaste of heaven and joins them in the pilgrimage upward to the stars, side by side and hand-in-hand. Lest we forget the high culturalist is just as much participating in the same journey as everyone else even if he guides from the front.
Thus it is perhaps inappropriate to view the defense of high culture as a defense. For defense implies something that is threatened. Defense is something static rather than energetic and moving.
Yet this is the predicament we find ourselves. The high culturalist is like St. John of Damascus, peering over the horizon to see the iconoclasts storming the monasteries and redoubts of kalon, noble goodness and beauty, and needing to defend that from destruction before beginning once more the journey to heavenly things which the noble and good products of art, architecture, literature, and music direct us to.
This returns us to Arnold’s definition of high culture as wanting “all men live in an atmosphere of sweetness and light.” Arnold’s very language is simultaneously Platonic and culturally Christian. The pilgrimage to high culture seeks to bring beatitude and felicity to the world. But if this is what high culture seeks, then what does its dialectical antithesis entail?
High culture is apolitical. It is, at its heart, transcendent in aim and scope. True, one cannot overlook the political realities and impacts of high culture onto the political—for some of the greatest works of art had political intention, but high culture is not anti-political or pro-political. Whatever political impact it may have is secondary to the more interior and transcendental heart to it—the communicative power of the good, true, and beautiful.
Listening to Mozart, Beethoven, or Wagner, gazing upward at the ceiling of the Sistine chapel or being directed upward by church spires and cathedral towers, even hanging a small picture frame with a painting of birds in a bush, liberates one from the constricting chains of the political and brings atonement to the individual—atonement meaning, as it does in English, to be at peace and harmony with oneself and the world in one moment: the moment of the present.
To be lost in the splendor of the present is the closest reality to eternal bliss in this world; it is a prefiguration of the beauty and goodness of the world to come. For these reasons when we gaze upon a magnificent work of art—of high art and culture—we experience something akin to a spiritual and transcendent rapture. That belongs to all people and not to a just privileged few. Conservatives, most especially, should be engaged in the defense of all things good, true, and beautiful—especially in the high arts.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-11-02--Marxism: A Breeding Ground for Useful Idiots

( Warren Beatty ) “ Useful idiot ” is a pejorative term for a person who propagandizes for a cause without fully understanding ( due to naïveté , stupidity , or on purpose ) the cause ’ s goals , who is cynically used by the cause ’ s founders .
It is used to describe otherwise sensible people who become , due to misrepresentations or outright lies , susceptible to Marxist/communist/socialist propaganda and manipulation .
Related How Cultural Marxism Is Grinding Christianity Down Why is this important ?
Because this is what Black Lives Matter is doing : using @ @ @ @ @ @ @ One of BLM ’ s founders is Alicia Garza , a trained Marxist .
Why is that significant ?
Because it explains BLM ’ s agenda .
Marxism ’ s ( and BLM ’ s ) ultimate goal is to ignite class warfare to provide an opportunity for the seizure of political power .
But the U.S. was created as a classless society with no royalty , no nobility , no caste system .
Everyone is equal under the law .
How , then , do Marxists ignite class warfare ?
By creating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ existence .
This is where useful idiots come into play .
Once people believe that these false classes exist , class warfare can begin .
The actions of three useful idiots illustrate how they foster class warfare .
They use what Teddy Roosevelt called the “ bully pulpit ” to propagandize .
There ’ s the Democrat party .
Then there are two useful idiots of note , one whose name AT readers will recognize and a name most AT readers will not recognize : Barack Obama and Lewis Hamilton .
The plans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come down to three big lies .
First , they have the lie of authority in which they turn people against the leaders .
They say all police and the justice system in general is corrupt .
They say President Trump and the GOP are the problem despite unprecedented prosperity across the board in America .
They need to lie to get their foot soldiers fired up .
The second lie is the lie of action .
They tell their group that to achieve their goals , they need to riot , loot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ zones , and act out in ways that lead towards governments at every level promoting further authoritarianism .
They don ’ t tell their foot soldiers that they ’ re supposed to be quashed [ . ]
… The last lie is the lie of results .
The people in their movement are told this is all going to lead to revolution .
They ’ re not told that they ’ re going to get put down by authoritarian measures , and that these measures are the true goal of the Cultural Marxists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allow for the real end goal of authoritarian communism , which is very different from the anarcho-communism the foot soldiers believe they ’ re producing .
Obama , an idiot before he became useful , said of Trayvon Martin , the BLM poster child : “ If I had a son , he ’ d look like Trayvon.
” “ Defending the Black Lives Matter movement , President Barack Obama said Thursday [ October 23 , 2015 ] the protests are giving voice to a problem happening only in African-American communities , adding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , particularly given our history , have to take this seriously . '
” Obama provided usefulness by giving a Marxist organization credibility and support .
Now to Lewis Hamilton , Formula One racecar driver .
Why ?
He is one of the most visible black athletes today .
He began his “ useful idiot ” tour at a BLM rally in London in June .
Ben Morse of CNN wrote : “ Since George Floyd ’ s death last month , Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has been one of sport @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
” Morse quoted Hamilton : “ I was proud to be out there acknowledging and supporting the Black Lives Matter movement , and my Black heritage.
” He then doubled down by bringing Breonna Taylor into his idiocy , obviously without doing any research .
On September 13 , at the Tuscan Grand Prix , he wore a tee-shirt with the message “ Arrest the cops that killed Breonna Taylor.
” He wrote before the race : “ It ’ s been 6 months since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in her own home .
Still no justice has been served .
We won ’ t stay silent .
# JusticeForBreonnaTaylor.
” Following the race , Hamilton said , “ I ’ ve been wanting to bring awareness to the fact there are people being killed on the street .
And someone was killed in her own house and they were in the wrong house and those guys are still walking free.
” That ’ s non-factual propaganda .
Then , after the Russian Grand Prix on September 24 , he said : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a place for politics but ultimately it is a human rights issue and that is something we should be pushing towards .
We have a huge , amazing group of people that watch our sport from different backgrounds and cultures and we should be pushing positive messages towards them , especially for equality ” ( emphasis mine ) .
Again , non-factual propaganda .
Hamilton is , without a doubt , a useful idiot .
This occurred in an ironic atmosphere .
Speaking of Hamilton on July 12 , motorsport legend Mario Andretti @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I think the whole point of this is pretentious .
And it ’ s creating a problem that doesn ’ t exist.
” Hamilton ’ s response : “ Andretti should educate himself.
” Hamilton didn ’ t bother to look up facts , just spewed propaganda .
Here is another example of an international useful idiot : Mercedes-Benz .
Until this year , its F1 racecars were known as Silver Arrows .
But no longer — they caved to their useful idiot and painted their cars black .
What now ?
First @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The vast majority of the MSM are useful idiots as well .
They refuse to be educated .
So , second , educate yourself .
Larry Elder at Epoch Times , Dennis Prager at Prager University , and Thomas Lifson at AT are but three of hundreds of internet sources providing the complete truth .
Third , reach out to those who can be educated .
Fourth , patronize sponsors of conservative websites .

(Warren Beatty) “Useful idiot” is a pejorative term for a person who propagandizes for a cause without fully understanding (due to naïveté, stupidity, or on purpose) the cause’s goals, who is cynically used by the cause’s founders. It is used to describe otherwise sensible people who become, due to misrepresentations or outright lies, susceptible to Marxist/communist/socialist propaganda and manipulation.

Why is this important? Because this is what Black Lives Matter is doing: using useful idiots to advance its cause. One of BLM’s founders is Alicia Garza, a trained Marxist. Why is that significant? Because it explains BLM’s agenda. Marxism’s (and BLM’s) ultimate goal is to ignite class warfare to provide an opportunity for the seizure of political power. But the U.S. was created as a classless society with no royalty, no nobility, no caste system. Everyone is equal under the law. How, then, do Marxists ignite class warfare? By creating false classes, then propagandizing them into existence. This is where useful idiots come into play. Once people believe that these false classes exist, class warfare can begin.
The actions of three useful idiots illustrate how they foster class warfare. They use what Teddy Roosevelt called the “bully pulpit” to propagandize. There’s the Democrat party. Then there are two useful idiots of note, one whose name AT readers will recognize and a name most AT readers will not recognize: Barack Obama and Lewis Hamilton.
About Democrats, J.D. Rucker wrote:
The party that once focused on workers and Big Labor detached their wagons from those horses around the time Barack Obama became president, opting instead to latch onto identity politics[.] … This served them well for years, but now that identity politics has been taken over by Black Lives Matter and Antifa, among others, Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are no longer in control. It’s the radicals like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar who are the party’s new ideological leaders, but even they are simply higher-ranking pawns [of Marxists].
Rucker continued:
The plans of the Cultural Marxists at the top come down to three big lies. First, they have the lie of authority in which they turn people against the leaders. They say all police and the justice system in general is corrupt. They say President Trump and the GOP are the problem despite unprecedented prosperity across the board in America. They need to lie to get their foot soldiers fired up. The second lie is the lie of action. They tell their group that to achieve their goals, they need to riot, loot, tear down monuments, form autonomous zones, and act out in ways that lead towards governments at every level promoting further authoritarianism. They don’t tell their foot soldiers that they’re supposed to be quashed[.] … The last lie is the lie of results. The people in their movement are told this is all going to lead to revolution. They’re not told that they’re going to get put down by authoritarian measures, and that these measures are the true goal of the Cultural Marxists who need that precedent in order to allow for the real end goal of authoritarian communism, which is very different from the anarcho-communism the foot soldiers believe they’re producing.
Marxists create useful idiots.
Obama, an idiot before he became useful, said of Trayvon Martin, the BLM poster child: “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” “Defending the Black Lives Matter movement, President Barack Obama said Thursday [October 23, 2015] the protests are giving voice to a problem happening only in African-American communities, adding, ‘We, as a society, particularly given our history, have to take this seriously.'” Obama provided usefulness by giving a Marxist organization credibility and support.
Now to Lewis Hamilton, Formula One racecar driver. Why? He is one of the most visible black athletes today. He began his “useful idiot” tour at a BLM rally in London in June. Ben Morse of CNN wrote: “Since George Floyd’s death last month, Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has been one of sport’s most outspoken athletes in showing his support for the Black Lives Matter movement.” Morse quoted Hamilton: “I was proud to be out there acknowledging and supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, and my Black heritage.”
He then doubled down by bringing Breonna Taylor into his idiocy, obviously without doing any research. On September 13, at the Tuscan Grand Prix, he wore a tee-shirt with the message “Arrest the cops that killed Breonna Taylor.” He wrote before the race: “It’s been 6 months since Breonna Taylor was murdered by policemen, in her own home. Still no justice has been served. We won’t stay silent. #JusticeForBreonnaTaylor.” Following the race, Hamilton said, “I’ve been wanting to bring awareness to the fact there are people being killed on the street. And someone was killed in her own house and they were in the wrong house and those guys are still walking free.” That’s non-factual propaganda.
Then, after the Russian Grand Prix on September 24, he said: “People talk about sport not being a place for politics but ultimately it is a human rights issue and that is something we should be pushing towards. We have a huge, amazing group of people that watch our sport from different backgrounds and cultures and we should be pushing positive messages towards them, especially for equality” (emphasis mine). Again, non-factual propaganda. Hamilton is, without a doubt, a useful idiot.
This occurred in an ironic atmosphere. Speaking of Hamilton on July 12, motorsport legend Mario Andretti told Chilean newspaper El Mercurio: “I think the whole point of this is pretentious. And it’s creating a problem that doesn’t exist.” Hamilton’s response: “Andretti should educate himself.” Hamilton didn’t bother to look up facts, just spewed propaganda.
Here is another example of an international useful idiot: Mercedes-Benz. Until this year, its F1 racecars were known as Silver Arrows. But no longer — they caved to their useful idiot and painted their cars black.
What now? First, know that useful idiots are everywhere. The vast majority of the MSM are useful idiots as well. They refuse to be educated. So, second, educate yourself. Larry Elder at Epoch Times, Dennis Prager at Prager University, and Thomas Lifson at AT are but three of hundreds of internet sources providing the complete truth. Third, reach out to those who can be educated. Fourth, patronize sponsors of conservative websites.

The George Washington University, just blocks from the White House, is warning students about potential unrest starting election night that could require a week’s worth of groceries and medicine.
“Before Election Day, we recommend that you have at least one week of food, supplies and medicine in your room,” the school said in a letter to students. “We suggest preparing for the Election Day period as you would a hurricane or a snowstorm that would prevent you from going outside for several days to grab food or order take.”
A university spokeswoman told The Washington Times, “Our goal is to help our campus community plan ahead for any potential disruption that may happen during the election period.”
The riots associated with this summer’s social justice demonstrations across the country resulted in substantial damage to businesses and government buildings in the nation’s capital. Many of the buildings have remained boarded, while others have either been boarded up for unrest this week or have had plywood reapplied to their glass doors and windows.
