FRANCE: Notre-Dame interior faces woke ‘Disney’ revamp: Critics aghast at plans for ‘Christianity for dummies’ trail inside the cathedral
Paris’s fire-ravaged Notre-Dame cathedral risks resembling a “politically correct Disneyland” under controversial plans for its renovation seen by The Telegraph.Critics have warned that the world-famous cathedral will be turned into an “experimental showroom” under plans to dramatically change the inside of the medieval building.Under the proposed changes, confessional boxes, altars and classical sculptures will be replaced with modern art murals, and new sound and light effects to create “emotional spaces”.

New Hampshire establishes system to report anti-white discrimination from teachers: The system was created following a nationwide backlash to Critical Race Theory
The New Hampshire Department of Education has launched a system for parents to report cases of racist anti-white discrimination against their children from teachers and schools.

Earlier this year, New Hampshire, along with a number of other states, effectively banned the teaching of anti-white Critical Race Theory in public schools, as well as banning teaching materials that could be considered racist by any definition.
Police launch criminal investigation into Arizona school board president’s secret dossier on parents who opposed CRT and mask mandates
Police in Scottsdale have launched a probe into school board president
Moms were targeted in a secret dossier of parents who opposed district policy
School Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg had access to the dossier
District blames his father for compiling the sprawling file on parents
Contents included Social Security numbers, financial info and divorce records
District has also opened its own investigation into the scandal
link
Good people of Scottsdale, these investigations are almost certainly going to be fake, compromised, subverted, or so weak and naive nothing will be found and everything will be covered up. I strongly doubt that Police Chief Walther will understand the seriousness, breadth, or national importance of the local cell that has been exposed. He will fall under great pressure to not see evidence that should be pursued, evidence that will lead beyond Scottsdale. He may already be compromised. The promise of the school district to hire “an independent investigator” similarly will almost certainly yield nothing of importance. Both “investigations” will serve to waste time, allowing most people to forget. You will be thrown a few bones and it might feel OK, but the infiltration and subversion of your school system will continue. I hope one of the mom’s copied the drive in question and has either secured that copy and/or distributed it to others. Your best course of action would be to hire your own independent investigator, one thoroughly vetted to have no possible ties to the people involved and knowledgeable about the much larger network to which this incident surely belongs. The video in the parking lot is very telling. Notice how casual and familiar they are with the machinations of Greenburg’s father, who owns the drive. With a little research and brainpower, it should not be too hard to figure out how the people involved are related to each other and to other groups in Scottsdale and beyond. What you have discovered is a particular instance of a widespread network that has worked its way into almost every American institution there is. Incidentally, this is not about CRT. It’s about controlling your children and through them America. ABN
“Lying flat” in China
Putin warns the West is destroying itself: “It happened in our country before and after the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of Marx and Engels. And they also declared that they would change the traditional lifestyle, the political, the economic lifestyle, as well as the very notion of morality, the basic principles for a healthy society”
“The preparedness of so-called social progress believes in bringing a new conscience, a new consciousness to humanity, something that is more correct,” Putin said. “But there is one thing I would like to say: The recipes they come up with are nothing new. Paradoxical as it may seem, this is something we saw in Russia. It happened in our country before and after the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of Marx and Engels. And they also declared that they would change the traditional lifestyle, the political, the economic lifestyle, as well as the very notion of morality, the basic principles for a healthy society. They were trying to destroy age-old and century-long values, revisiting the relationship between the people, they were encouraging informing on one’s own beloved, and families. It was hailed as the march of progress. And it was very popular across the world and it was supported by many, as we see, and it is happening right now.”

What Putin is talking about is an insidious, almost hidden form of KOBK. These KOBK forces have already conquered virtually all of American cultural high-ground. They are actively trying to destroy our society and falsely claiming to be able to “replace” it with impossible-to-realize dreams. You must understand that when your opponent is playing by KOBK rules, you have no choice but to fight back with full knowledge of what they are doing, fully recognizing how successful they have already been. USA and Western democracies are weak in strategic thinking due to many easy decades and the influence of a bad side of Christianity that promotes a mushy love and tolerance over realistic wisdom and action. Properly understood, Buddhism does not have this problem because wisdom is always the paramount virtue; without wisdom all other virtues are prone to error. ABN
Russia’s Nationalist Turn: How Putin Created the Russian National State
For the first time in more than a century, the Russians have a state that they can call their own, a state run by and for the Russian people – the hallowed “Russian National State” (RNS) that has been the holy grail of Russian nationalism in the post-Soviet era. At first glance, this seems like a questionable, if not extraordinary, assertion. As I have myself pointed out in the past, Hillary Clinton’s claim in 2016 that Putin is the “godfather of extreme nationalism” is something that is only taken seriously by the political horseshoe that is neoliberalism.txt and the American Alt Right, the sole difference between them being that the former think it bad and the latter think it good, whereas in reality both of them are merely projecting their own parochial fears and fantasies onto Russia. More importantly, this would also seem strange to significant numbers of Russian nationalists, who would immediately bring up Putin’s claim that the slogan “Russia for Russians” – a sentiment that is consistently supported by half of Russians in opinion polls – is the preserve of “fools and provocateurs.”

Antony Blinken Tied To Jeffrey Epstein: Went To School Where He Taught, Family Connected To Epstein’s Mistress
Most Americans may know Secretary of State Antony Blinken for his major role in the devastating Biden administration Afghanistan Disaster, or perhaps for his warmongering while working for the Bush and Obama administrations. However, many may not know that he has connections to the convicted pedophile, ritualistic sex predator, and international elite human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who was identified as a Mossad agent who blackmailed world leaders with underage sex traps by former high-ranking Israeli intelligence officials.

Even Bill Barr figures in this mess. His pop was headmaster at the Dalton School who hired Jeffery Epstein to teach math, despite his having no credentials for the job. ABN
Believe It: A Top Old School Journalist Stands Up for Ivermectin and Free Speech
“Demand Surges for Deworming Drug for Covid,” The New York Times August 30 headline began with a deception before the graceful, barely discernible leap to a falsehood, “Despite Scant Evidence it Works.”
It was just another day in the most misleading, murderous coverage of a global issue in modern times, the attempted assassination of poor little ivermectin. Little Ivy, smaller and safer than aspirin and sometimes portrayed as a lovable little blue bird by its worldwide supporters, is the remarkably safe, affordable, FDA-approved, generic, Nobel-Prize winning drug known to doctors as one of the great “wonder drugs” in human history, rivaling penicillin, until it made the mistake of killing both COVID and big pharma profits like nothing known to science . Ivermectin made the critical mistake of saving hundreds of thousands of lives from COVID globally, documented by data scientists, health ministries, and ICU physicians around the world, with doses as common and cheap as the antibiotic that heals the kids’ knee scrapes: 10 cents a dose in India and a buck or two in upstate New York.

Decent piece but also a little cheap. Praise for a journalist who did basic research and told the truth, his job. Just what readers of this site have been doing for a year and a half. And thousands of others have been deplatformed, fired, and ridiculed for doing. That said, Walsh and Capuzzo will communicate with more of lazy USA than most of us will. And every bit helps. Consider that several hundred thousand Americans have died unnecessarily due to official suppression of known-to-be-effective treatments for covid, which are still being suppressed today, even banned.

Covid mandates don’t work
“Experience has shown that communities faced with epidemics or other adverse events respond best and with the least anxiety when the normal social functioning of the community is least disrupted. Strong political and public health leadership to provide reassurance and to ensure that needed medical care services are provided are critical elements. If either is seen to be less than optimal, a manageable epidemic could move toward catastrophe.”
COVID-19 Mandates Will Not Work for the Delta Variant
This is a long piece that can be summed up by the above quote. It’s worth looking at, and reading carefully if you are not familiar with the details of why lockdowns, etc. always fail and impose enormous other costs on societies. The author has a very strong case stated weakly. For example, he poses the limited question: “This is ‘panic porn’ driven by a craven inept media, and the corrupt public health officials who are using the Delta variant to drive further fear. We wonder if it is pure incompetence or unabashed unbridled bias and corruption?” It’s probably a lot worse than either of those options. Why pretend? ABN
