Video Still: Rioters break into the Capitol.

Column By Melissa Martin

The age-old dream of world domination is alive and well. Since the beginning of the beginning, man has battled for the top seat on the planet. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.Read your history books.

Free countries do not need a great reset or one world order domination. Citizens of freedom-loving democracies must oppose self-appointed tyrants (wolves in sheeps clothing) that seek to rule the world as kings of communism and saviors of humanity. Powerful people with pockets full of gold and silver did not create humankind and they cannot fix it or save it. But they can try to destroy it.

The World Government Summit was held recently and framed to suggest that a new global order is emerging and the world is not ready for it, according tocnbc.com.

Citizens will never be ready for a new global order that robs them of liberty, freedom, and dignity. Global utopia is puffed up propaganda by fear-mongers.

Citizens of sovereign nations do not need the dynamic leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, Ruler of Dubai and founder of The World Government Summit to shape (or reshape) our governments. Visitwww.worldgovernmentsummit.org.

Henry Kissinger, Alan Greenspan, Klaus Swab, George Soros, Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Mark Zuckerberg, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Prince Charles, the Rothchilds, theRockefellers, the Bush family, Morgans, Vanderbilts, du Ponts, the Clintons, Vanguard Group, Blackrock, the Big Pharma players, the banking monopolies, and the list of elitists go on are not the worlds saviors. Watch the video called Monopoly: An Overview of the Great Reset atbitchute.com.

COVID-19: The Great Reset is a 2020 book by Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum Founder. He wrote, A new world will emerge, the contours of which are for us to imagine and draw.

What the Fourth Industrial Revolution will lead to is a fusion of our physical, our digital, and our biological identities, wrote Klaus Schwab, 2019.

I dont know about you, but I dont want to be fused. Schwab and his misguided followers can fuse away, but leave the rest of us alone. Sovereign nation-states do not want to be replaced and suppressed under a globalist regime. Hands off our minds and our bodies.

What did Joe Biden recently say at a meeting of the Business Roundtable lobbying organization? Now is a time when things are shifting. Were going to theres going to be a new world order out there, and weve got to lead it. And weve got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it.

The spin machine rushed into action to explain Bidens misspeak (or fact-speak) via mainstream media. Methinks that dost protest too much.

The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism, a book by Glen Beck, reveals an international conspiracy among powerful bankers, business leaders, and government officials; closed-door meetings in the Swiss Alps; and calls for a radical transformation of every society on earth.

Former PresidentDonald Trump alluded to the deep state in one of his rants after the US House Impeachment debacle. Theyre not after me, they are after you.

Who is after us? The humans that meet in secret rooms. What hides in the shadows? Monsters, goblins, ogres or worse.

The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. Patrick Henry

Hmmm. For decades, the people in power have declared that a new world order, the Illuminati,and the Bilderberg Groupare nothing more than conspiracy theories spewed from the mouths of looney tunes.

A new book by Peter Goodman,Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the Worldreveals how the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, draws a curious blend of celebrities (Mick Jagger, Greta Thunberg, Matt Damon) as well as heads of state (Chinese President Xi Jinping, Bill Clinton, Prince Charles) and business titans (Bill Gates, Marc Benioff).

The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve is a book published in 2010 by G. Edward Griffin. He wrote about why the Federal Reserve needs to be abolished. This is the story of limitless money and hidden global power. Griffin denotes the Federal Reserve is not federal and has no reserves.

And why is mainstream media silent about the new world order?

We are grateful to theWashington Post,The New York Times,Time Magazine,and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries. Those are the words spoken by David Rockefeller at the Bilderberger Meeting, Baden Germany, in June 1991.

Have the globalists bought off or threatened mainstream media? Follow the monopoly trail. Follow the censorship trail. Follow the billionaire trail.

History shows us that socialism, communism, fascism, and Marxism have failed. Who wants the world divided into regions with self-appointed despots? A forced one world religion? A central banking system?

Build back better, is the slogan from the lips of the elitists. Youll own nothing and youll be happy, is on the World Economic Forum website.

If you think communism is worth trying again, youll literally believe anything. No matter where or when they have been tried, Marxist regimes have failed every time. Theres no difference between the aspirations of todays Communists and those who set up tyrannical regimes. Kristian Niemietz atcapx.co.

What is the solution? The Creator put the answers in a book called The Bible. In Gods army, the soldiers of the New Testament march on their knees and come and go in peace. Read the book of Revelation God wins.

Editorial: A new world order is not the solution - The Gila Herald

A foundation of the folklore of the American right is the story of how National Reviews William F. Buckley, in the early- to mid-1960s, cast the John Birch Societyand by extension the entire kooky, conspiracist wing of the rightout of the conservative movement.

This was part of a larger struggle for the soul of the right. Older conservative publications such as the American Mercury, which had once been the home of such luminaries as H.L. Mencken and Henry Hazlitt, had turned into a forum for antisemitic conspiracy theoriesbefore eventually being taken over outright by neo-Nazis. The response was an effort by Buckley and other conservative thinkers, with the help of political frontmen Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, to create a conservative movement with more ideological and philosophical substanceone based not on conspiracy theories or mere reactionary emotions but on ideas. (Too bad he also tried to get rid of Ayn Rand.)

Looking at American politics today, it sure looks like this seminal conservative achievement is unraveling. The Birchers are back. And theyre winning.

Like Hitler and Mussolini before him, Putins acting with hubris and arrogance because hes been

The John Birch Society, to refresh your memory, was started in 1958 by a conservative businessman who thought President Eisenhower was secretly a Soviet agent. It had a certain kind of cracked appeal as an easy explanation for various setbacks in the early years of the Cold War. The Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, the Communist takeover of China, the Soviet development of nuclear weaponsthese werent the results of Western mistakes, or large and difficult-to-control social forces, or just the fortunes of war. No, it was all a secret plot, and THEY were lying to you.

This worldview was tremendously popular, more popular than todays conservatives would probably like to admit. In 1962, Barry Goldwater complained, Every other person in Phoenix is a member of the John Birch Society. Im not talking about commie-haunted apple pickers or cactus drunks. Im talking about the highest cast of men of affairs.

The Birchers had such a big following on the right that Buckley, Goldwater, and Reagan hemmed and hawed for years before breaking with them. Even then, it took repeated denunciations, combined with the Birchers increasing notoriety as a national laughingstock, to eventually reduce their appeal and relegate them to the crazy fringes.

Consider the elements of this history:

We have a conspiracy theory that explains everything conservatives think has gone wrong in the world by positing the machinations of a secret cabal that controls everything from the intelligence agencies to the schools.

We have the rapid spread of these crackpot theories to otherwise normal and respectable people in the rank and file of the movement.

We have an attempt to make the conspiracists into the ultimate representatives of opposition to totalitarian communism, and a corresponding attempt to dismiss any conservative critics of the conspiracists as weak-kneed appeasers handing over the country to its enemies.

We have the uneasy balancing act of conservatives in the media and in politics who dont want to denounce the crackpots for fear of angering their partys base.

Isnt this also precisely the state of conservatism today?

We tend to think that our culture war is something new, rising out of the unique challenges of our own era. But youd be surprised how much of it is just the same old culture war being endlessly rehashed.

Todays equivalent of the John Birch Society is the QAnon conspiracy theory, an online grift that got out of hand and became a worldview. It posits its own spectacularly implausible conspiracy theory: That there is a global network of pedophiles who secretly run the world and control our politics so that they can abuse children. This conspiracy theory has in turn spawned other conspiracy theories which claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. It is currently being mainstreamed in attacks on Disney as a corporation bent on grooming children to prepare them for exploitation by pedophiles.

And where are todays conservative leaders, the intellectuals and politicians, the Buckleys and Reagans, who have the authority to shut this down?

Well, Ben Sasse wrote a piece once. But most of todays conservative and Republican leaders are actually trying to hitch themselves to the new John Birchers.

Donald Trump famously refused to denounce the QAnon crazies, describing them only as people who are against pedophiliathe most flattering possible description of the group. Its like saying that the John Birchers were against communism. In both cases, the actual salient characteristic of these groups is their wild, paranoid, evidence-free conspiracy theories.

Trumps sympathy for QAnon helped ease it into the conservative mainstream, and we can see the results in two recent incidents.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is the leading candidate to become the sane Trumpa Republican who can harness Trumps populist appeal, but in a disciplined and calculating way. But after DeSantiss defenders rushed out to assure everyone that his bill targeting teachers was not a Dont Say Gay Law and was not animated by anti-homosexual bias, his press secretary Christina Pushaw declared that the bill would be more accurately described as an Anti-Grooming Bill, adding, If youre against the Anti-Grooming Bill, you are probably a groomer. A groomer, for those who are fortunate enough not to know, is a child predator who manipulates his victims to prepare them to accept abuse.

So much for being the sane Trump.

The idea that gay teachers are predators preparing to groom children is an old trope with a history in Florida. You may recall that previous iterations of the culture war attempted to ban homosexuals from teaching jobs. But more significant is the way this claim taps into the QAnon conspiracy theory. The whole base of QAnon is the dangerous delusion that their enemies are all secret pedophiles. This is the line that has been taken up by conservatives and endlessly repeated, including in a conservative campaign to boycott the Walt Disney Company (and also to subject it to land-use and antitrust regulations) as a political reprisal for opposing the Florida law. And why not if, as authoritarian conservative Rod Dreher puts it, Disney has gone groomer?

Taking a bill with many serious problemsa vaguely worded restriction and an enforcement mechanism designed to facilitate legal harassmentand characterizing any criticism of it as grooming and as support for pedophiles and predators has created an atmosphere of constant, vicious defamation aimed at any and all opponents. This is being egged on, of course, by the usual unscrupulous carnival barkers.

This mode of conspiracy thinking was also reflected in the scurrilous conduct of the Senate hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson, when Senator Josh Hawley pandered to the QAnon vote by trying to portray the judges past sentencing work as soft on pedophiles. Many people, including conservative authors such as National Reviews Andrew McCarthy, have debunked the smear, showing that Judge Jacksons sentences were in line with the consensus view of other judges.

But once given this talking point, the crazies will chant it forever as if it is the gospel truth. Except that practically everyone is one of the crazies now. Hence the spectacle of Mollie Hemingway, of the Federalist and Fox News, trying her hardest to imply that Mitt Romney is a secret pedophile.

Which makes as much sense as Eisenhower being a secret communist.

From the top down, the Birchers have won. They now own the conservative movement and the Republican party.

Conspiracy theories have consequences. If you have been arguing these issues on social media, you will find that in among the groomer smears lobbed around carelessly there is an undertone of menace, with reminders that we know what to do with pedophiles. Before this is all over, someone is going to take this groomer and pedo talk literally. There will be blood.

We should also remember what conservatives accomplished by purging their crazies the last time around: By basing the movement on substantive ideas and having the courage and self-discipline to purge the kooks who claimed to be on our side, we achieved a few little things like pulling the U.S. out of the national malaise of the 1970s and winning the Cold War, followed by a period of peace, prosperity, and the spread of free societies across the globe. It wasnt just good for the movement, it was good for the country and the world.

If we want to experience anything like those triumphs again, we need build new institutions defined by pro-liberty ideasand we need to push the conspiracy theorists back to the fringes.

Did the John Birch Society Win in the End? - The Bulwark

It was first mentioned in 1111.

This article was prepared for an edition of the Spectacular Slovakia travel guide and was published in the travel guide Slovakia.

Draovce, a village at the foothill of Zobor Hill, has been part of Nitra since 1975.

Its first mention comes from the Zobor Charter of 1111. The village represents an important archaeological site where the Great Moravian fortification and graves from the 11th century were revealed.

It became popular for the romanesque Church of St Michael the Archangel from the 11th century. The church stands on a hill overlooking Draovce, offering beautiful views of the surrounding area. Experts have identified 10 building phases, six of which were done in the romanesque period. Legend has it that the Virgin Mary once appeared before a shepherd and pointed to the decaying church.

Residents suddenly realised the church was in poor condition and began to reconstruct it. Thanks to their huge efforts, it has survived to date.

In 1803, when a new church was built up in the village, the church on the hill stopped serving religious purposes. Under communism, its existence was in jeopardy as the nearby rocky terrain had been turned into a quarry. That is why the church now stands on the edge of a steep cliff.

The church opens on the Day of St Michael, but masses and weddings sometimes take place there. A visit to the church is possible on other days but visitors must talk to the local superintendent first.

The church has a rectangular ground plan with a semi-circular apse in the east and a brick pyramid tower in the west. Its invaluable architectural details include the remains of a former romanesque portal and two copies of stone tablets, which are linked to the overhauls of 1780-1829. Inside are restored remnants of romanesque plasters and the late gothic template painting in gray-black and red colours with a rhombus motif.

Draovce: Terrain near the romanesque church turned into a quarry - The Slovak Spectator

By James J.Y. Hsu

Capitalism had a great war with communism in the 20th century. It was a cold war with hot battles, and capitalism took more than half a century and two generations to defeat communism.

Since the idealism of The Communist Manifesto can no longer be an inspiration or aspiration to govern, authoritarian regimes put up a new face of greatness in the name of nationalism. Wars between democracy and autocracy are inevitable, as they have opposing goals: individual freedom and happiness versus police-state security; rule of law and social harmony versus absolute authority; personal creativity and accomplishment versus national superiority.

While authoritarian regimes fought each other throughout history with senseless sacrifices of numerous lives, the West also experienced large-scale religious conflicts from the French wars of religion in the 16th century to the Thirty Years War of central Europe in the 17th century. Freedom of religion did not prevail until the 18th century, notably the American Revolution that opened up a free new world.

Notwithstanding religion and autocracy battles in some corners of the world, freedom and democracy have become the universal values of civil societies, and the desire of common men and women. It is just a matter of time for democracy to confront autocracy in their final battle.

At the start of the 21st century, the world witnessed the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There is every sense that this is a war between democracy and autocracy, as US President Joe Biden provided a clear vision and an unapologetic conviction by declaring last year that saving the world from autocracy is the challenge of our time. It mobilizes the democratic camp to act quickly, globally and completely to deliver weaponry supplies, financial sanctions, humanitarian aid and more to Ukraine.

The democratic camp appears to be strongly bounded in the spirit of NATOs Article 5, which states a that an armed attack against one or more signatory shall be considered an attack against them all, declaring that each will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary.

The worlds alliance of democratic and free countries clearly would want Russian President Vladimir Putin to be pushed out of office if he unleashed chemical, biological or nuclear weapons on Ukraine. Bidens public statement in Poland: For Gods sake, this man cannot remain in power, reflected then-US president Ronald Reagans 1987 remark in West Berlin: Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall, referring to the Berlin Wall.

The comments were meant to place historical milestones; for Reagan, to eliminate communism, and for Biden, autocracy.

The two largest autocratic countries today are China and Russia, and Russia is the lesser of the problem. Former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping () said in 1978 that it does not matter if a cat is black or white; so long as it captures mice, it is a good cat. With that comment, he unleashed the individual creativity and entrepreneurship of the Chinese, which not only changed the course of China, but also human history by pulling the greatest number of people out of poverty in the historically shortest time.

However, during the civil war between the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the renowned academic and May Fourth Movement leader Hu Shi () famously said: The US has bread and freedom. The Soviet Union has bread, but no freedom. Communist China would have no bread and no freedom.

It is a blessing that the Chinese now have more than bread, but do they have freedom, let alone happiness? The lack of rule of law creates difficulty for China in maintaining a harmonious society. Just look at its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Hong Kong democratic movement. The sad truth is that absolute authority of a police state has more often than not created chaos beyond imagination.

The problem is not limited to individual freedom being unreasonably compromised, or human rights being severely violated. Entrepreneurs are forced to give up their creativity, abandon their talents and jeopardize their businesses to remain loyal to the party. As a result, free-market forces no longer work properly, outflows of capital and foreign investment threaten the economy, and entrepreneurship dims the light, ready to forfeit its promise of prosperity.

Power corrupts and absolute authority corrupts absolutely. Justice comes too late for those who die in a collapsing tofu apartment, shaky school building, poorly drained highway tunnel or outside the hospital without urgent care for lack of a negative COVID-19 test.

That some Russian troops became sitting ducks in Ukraine reveals how corruption in the military easily sends their young soldiers to graves. Harsh government is fiercer than tigers, as the Chinese proverb says.

Moreover, seeking national superiority stirs up hostility in neighboring countries and beyond. Rumors were rife that China would invade Taiwan in the fall if Putin had his way in Ukraine. More global tragedies are undoubtedly waiting to occur if the trend continues. The worst is yet to come if Chinese President Xi Jinping () is allowed to remain in power for another term or more.

Some democratic force within China appears to be hard at work. Former Chinese premier Zhu Rongji (), who negotiated Chinas 2001 accession to the WTO, privately questioned Xis state-centered policy, the Wall Street Journal reported, adding that many elders in the CCP, including Zhu, quietly oppose Xi remaining in power.

Nobody knows how autocracy in China or Russia might evolve. As Sun Tzu () wrote in The Art of War: Do not count on their inaction; count on our being prepared. Do not count on their failure to attack; count on our being unattackable.

If any lesson is to be learned from the Ukraine war, it must be the refugee crisis. This war should have been fought on Russian territory, or at the least at the Ukraine border, to minimize the refugee outpouring, consistent with the strategy the best defense is a good offense.

The war between democracy and autocracy is descending upon us as the greatest challenge of our time. Beyond Ukraine, the Taiwan Strait could be the place for the next major war between democracy and autocracy.

The worlds democratic bloc is under great leadership, and Taiwan is an integral part of global humanity. A concerted effort by all concerned parties could alleviate the bloodshed and crises involving refugees and supply chains. It is never too late to try to help democratize China and Russia as a good offense for the worlds sake, before the worst scenario runs its course.

Freedom must prevail over threats -

On March 31, 1991, the military alliance between the Soviet Union and seven of its satellite states came to an end.

The Warsaw Pact, formally known as the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance, was formed in 1955 when NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, invited a rearmed West Germany into its numbers.

The pact served to supplement existing agreements following World War II and to serve as a response to NATO.

The Warsaw Pact included the Soviet Union, East Germany, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, and Albania, and existed throughout the Cold War with the purpose of strengthening military control over Central and Eastern Europe and reinforcing Communism.

The Warsaw Pact embodied what was referred to as the Eastern bloc, while NATO and its member countries represented the Western bloc. NATO and the Warsaw Pact were ideologically opposed and, over time, built up their own defences starting an arms race that lasted throughout the Cold War. NATO

IN the 1980s, the Warsaw Treaty Organization was beset by problems, including the economic slowdown in all Eastern bloc countries and political changes in most of its member states that made the pact virtually ineffectual according to The Office of the Historian.

By 1991, however, anti-communist sentiment grew, and in March the pact was dissolved, nearly nine months before the fall of the Soviet Union.
