    Ye and the End of Cancel Culture

    Here’s how this society is going to function. If it is unfair for Ye, aka Kanye West, to blame Jewish people collectively for the way he has been treated by individual Jews, it is unfair for people to blame Caucasians for the way individual white people have treated them. We are not going to survive as a peaceful society if we abandon the Biblical influence of respecting individuals as persons not tribal units of external identity markers.

    These clips are enough to do a Geologist head in. As suggested at the start, go back and watch previous clips on the channel before making your mind up. Take your time, no rush.

    For myself, the evidence is clear and overwhelming, and the history of the Earth as we know it is total bullsh*t.

    Geology that is being taught in Universities…well, it’s just all wrong, much like those 3 standing around the table pointing out folds in the rock, which once upon a time, was wood grain.

    Even when you factor in weathering and erosion, the evidence all looks the same around the world.

    Geologist: “This rock here is over a billion years old.”
    Me: No it’s not. 😉

    Mt Everest is one of those trees. There will be many who will refuse to believe it and will cling to the belief that it was the result of uplift from colliding tectonic plates.

    Once you see the trees, they can not be unseen.

    Decide for yourself.

    I have to admit I find Musk’ finances very odd. Unlike contenders Gates and Bezos who have cash cows to justify their wealth, what is Musk’? Tesla lost money forever, $5bill from taxpayers. Seems to be mostly crypto where a coin value can change value massively in no time at all. For a site where people can argue? Can’t see how it’s worth so much.
    I view it in the same category as the Disneys and Victorias Secret. Offend your base, lose value, repeat. Let’s see what happens with Ye’ sponsors. Behind the scenes someone is forcing these mega businesses to make terrible commercial decisions for left wing SJW causes. Doesn’t make sense.

    Brendan O’Neill’s take on the Twitter takeover.

    So he’s done it. The richest man in the world and self-styled ‘free-speech absolutist’ has taken over Twitter. The bête noire of illiberal liberals has got his hands on social media. Cue meltdown. Listening to the woke set you’d be forgiven for thinking that the gates of hell had been flung open and every manner of evil and blasphemy will now pour forth. Twitter could become a ‘soap box for hate speech’, fretted one media outlet yesterday. It really is extraordinary how much some people fear freedom.

    Just another Malmö gang rape

    Police in Sweden arrested five foreign males who were allegedly engaged in a gang rape at a playground last weekend, according to reports.

    The horrifying attacked unfolded at around 11 p.m. on Saturday night in the culturally-enriched city of Malmö.

    Officers interrupted a sexual assault in progress at Kungsparken in central Malmö, Expressen reports.

    “The police were there on routine patrol and then found these people behaving in a deviant manner and stopped this crime,” said police spokeswoman Sara Andersson.

    Five suspects, described as ‘Arab’ by Swedish media, were later taken into custody under suspicion of gang rape.

    “Five young men between the ages of 15 and 18 have now been arrested for the crime,” Fria Tider reports.

    “Four of them have citizenship in Syria and one is registered as stateless.”

    The victim was identified as an adult female.

    All of the suspects reportedly deny any wrongdoing.

    “We will hear from the people concerned and are now carrying out a series of technical analyzes to review the sequence of events,” District Attorney Kristina Amilon said in a press release.

    An investigation is ongoing.

    Stew Peters Network:

    On today’s Dr. Jane Ruby Show, Dr. Bryan Ardis says he was WRONG in his original report about the King Cobra and Krait snake venom that produces the C19 illnesses. He brings the Italian study from last year identifying that the bioweapon is designed to get people to make a synthetic form of snake venom toxins to poison the self, and that 3 societal groups were successfully targeted after the elderly were culled. This is the Dr Jane Ruby Show and you’re about to enter truth in medicine.
