RUSSIA TODAY — After scholars decried English as ‘anti-black linguistic racism’, the nation’s leading academic language association acceded to the demand that black students no longer have to think about proper English, let alone use it.
The Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) has released an official statement demanding that “teachers stop using academic language and standard English” and teach the “Black language” in college classrooms.
In the statement, titled, “This Ain’t Another Statement! This is a DEMAND for Black Linguistic Justice!,” a group of US English professors issued a long series of overlapping and somewhat redundant demands regarding language use and teaching in higher education, including the rejection of “standard English,” and that “teachers, researchers, and scholars put some respeck on Black Language.”
The announcement, the drafters note, comes on the heels of the Black Lives Matter protests and riots, as well as the Covid-19 pandemic, which they say disproportionately afflicts black people. Listing over 25 previous statements and resolutions already issued by the CCCC on diverse language practices, the writers claim that these do not go far enough in promoting “Black linguistic Consciousness to decolonize the mind (and/or) language, unlearn white supremacy, and unravel anti-Black linguistic racism!” […]

RENSE NEWS — Let us start by dismissing the prosecution’s ludicrous charge that any programmer as talented as Aaron Swartz would dedicate his life to stealing an archive that dispenses its academic papers for a few dollars apiece to the public or for free to students under department accounts. MIT professors, who are so full of themselves, are the only ones who might take seriously such a fool’s errand as a worthy objective for the brilliant and rebellious Swartz or the law suit as the cause of his so-called “suicidal depression.”
The mass media have been fed, and eagerly swallowed, the unpalatable lies hurled against a courageous young man whose guilt lies solely in his disgust at the online filth from “respectable” Internet paragons who have deviously corrupted the morals of his generation. America’s leading center for computer science has unleashed a campaign of slander against Swartz, who cannot defend himself through the media or in the docket now that he is dead.
My personal regret is that he had to act alone without the guidance and support of those faraway people including myself who have been fighting against the same vile pedophile elite. In American society where tens of thousands of children disappear every year without any serious investigation or public concern, the young man assumed the burden of justice on his own and paid the ultimate price for it. Using the JSTOR issue as a mere cover for his covert investigation into MIT wrongdoing was an immature tactic, which now undercuts his reputation postmortem.
As a traditional journalist and editor, I have never before supported Anonymous and their hacking activity, but the untimely death of Swartz changes the rules of engagement. Striking at the nerve center of the military-corporate-pharmaco-porno complex is an ethical duty not a crime, one of few available means to defend constitutional law. To the morally reprobate professors and administrators at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I say unequivocally: You have started a war that will end when you fall on your swords. […]
(Natural News) The Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic lockdowns were just the beginning, and the globalists will try to control the population once again with climate lockdowns.
In an interview with LifeSiteNews co-founder and editor-in-chief John-Henry Westen, author Marc Morano warned that the COVID-19 lockdowns proved that forcing people to remain in their homes and restricting their economic activity could protect the environment by reducing carbon emissions.
“The COVID lockdowns were literally a version of what they’ve called for decades in the climate movement,” said Morano. “I attend every United Nations climate summit and I’m going to the one in Egypt this year … and what these summits call for is the ‘degrowth movement,’ or ‘planned recessions,’ to fight global warming. And what that means is the government imposes slower economic growth or forces a recession to lower emissions.”
Morano pointed out that the globalists are claiming that the lockdowns and the reduction of so-called emissions are just tools for their ultimate goal, which is total control.
“If you live under authoritarianism, if you live under government control of every aspect of your life, you’re solving viruses, you’re solving climate,” said Morano. “The point is, they want control and they’ll do whatever they have to, whether it’s a virus, whether it’s climate, you name it – they want to invoke emergency powers. That’s really what this is about: emergency powers to bypass democracy.”
Organizations like the United Nations (UN) and the World Economic Forum have praised the COVID-19 lockdowns and compliance with them for their ability to reduce global emissions.
Morano noted that in 2019, the UN said the world needed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around seven percent every year to meet the goals stated in the Paris Climate Agreement.
“One year later, because of the lockdowns, we had a seven percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions,” said Morano. “It was almost like the UN called it.”
Morano also pointed out how leading members of the UN have praised the lockdowns for how great they supposedly were for the environment, even quoting one climate chief who called lockdowns and the “global shutdown of the economy” the only way to meet the UN’s climate targets.
This comes from a recent report released by the WEF suggesting that policies to track and restrict personal carbon usage could be implemented with widespread compliance almost overnight, thanks to the example of the COVID-19 lockdowns.
“A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world,” the report stated. “There were numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations and acceptance of contact-tracing applications for public health.”
This compliance could help realize the WEF’s goal of making people live without emitting too much carbon in their daily lives.

(Natural News) The co-founder of the stablecoin TerraUSD, Do Kwon, is officially a wanted man in his native South Korea. Last week, a court there issued an arrest warrant for him, and prosecutors say he’s wanted for violations of capital markets law.
Kwon’s company, Terraform Labs, is behind the algorithmic stablecoin as well as its sister cryptocurrency, Luna. TerraUSD’s failure set a chain of events into motion that spurred the big crypto crash this summer.
Kwon is reportedly nowhere to be found. The 31-year-old flew to Singapore, which does not have an extradition treaty with South Korea, around the same time that he dissolved Terraform Labs’ offices in Korea in late April, with his family and other personnel following him there in May, but police in Singapore recently told Reuters he was no longer there. He did recently tweet, however, that he was not trying to evade arrest – although he failed to disclose his location.
He tweeted: “I am not “on the run” or anything similar – for any government agency that has shown interest to communicate, we are in full cooperation and we don’t have anything to hide.”
“We are in the process of defending ourselves in multiple jurisdictions – we have held ourselves to an extremely high bar of integrity, and look forward to clarifying the truth over the next few months,” he added.
However, prosecutors dispute these claims and insist he is “obviously on the run.” Prosecutors say he closed down his company’s South Korean branch in order to “evade investigation.”
A spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office in Seoul said they are trying to locate him so he can be arrested, adding: “He is clearly on the run as his company’s key finance people also left for the same country during that time.”
South Korea has also asked Interpol to issue a “red notice” alerting law enforcement agencies around the world to the warrant for Do Kwon. The notice is used to ask authorities to locate and arrest someone who is the subject of legal action and is typically issued for fugitives who are wanted for prosecution or serving a sentence.
The “hacktivist” group Anonymous is also looking for Kwon, pledging in a video that they will ensure he is “brought to justice as soon as possible.”
Binance users warned about Terra 2.0
Do Kwon is also the subject of a warning the world’s biggest crypto exchange, Binance, is showing users. When Do Kwon’s first stablecoin collapsed, he tried to save face by relaunching it under a new token called Terra 2.0, which is still listed on the major crypto exchanges.
Although Binance has stopped short of delisting it, they are prompting users who attempt to buy it with a warning stating: “Please Note: A South Korean court has issued an arrest warrant against the cofounder of Terra 2.0 (LUNA). Please understand the risks involved and trade with caution. Binance will not be held responsible for any trading losses.” Users must then click on a button that says “I understand” before proceeding.
Kwon and other personnel from Terraform Labs are being investigated for tax evasion and financial fraud that saw $40 billion worth of investors’ funds wiped out. Some investors who saw their life savings go up in smoke have filed complaints accusing Kwon of operating a Ponzi scheme.
Hundreds of thousands of people lost money investing in TerraUSD and Luna, and some say Kwon’s online personality played a big role in building up hype for his failed cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency expert Brad Nickel noted: “It’s a cult mentality with a leader who has a larger-than-life personality and at the same time he has a confidence that is very seductive.” Some of his more ardent admirers referred to themselves as the “lunatics.”
The effects of Luna’s collapse were so far-reaching that online searches for the Mapo Bridge, a popular place in Seoul for committing suicide, skyrocketed in its aftermath, prompting police to increase patrols in the area.
(Natural News) President Joe Biden seemed out of touch with reality when he told “60 Minutes” host Scott Pelley that the month-to-month inflation rate has “hardly risen” in an attempt to downplay the crisis.
Conservative host Glenn Beck talked about the President’s “unique” perspective about inflation and the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), two issues Americans face nowadays. He played clips of Biden’s interview with Pelley on “The Glenn Beck Program.”
“Mr. President, as you know, the annual inflation rate came in at 8.3 percent. The stock market nosedived. People are shocked by their grocery bills. What can you do better and faster?” Pelley started off his interview with Biden.
The president said that Pelley, as does the rest of the U.S., needed to put his views in perspective because the inflation rate month-to-month was “up just an inch, hardly at all.”
“No, I’m not saying it is good news, but it was 8.2 or 8.2 [percent] before. I mean… you’re making, make it sound like, all of a sudden, my God, it went to 8.2 percent.”
Shocked, Pelley interjected: “You’re not arguing that 8.3 [percent] is good news? It’s the highest inflation rate, Mr. President, in 40 years.”
“But guess what we are? We’re in a position where for the last several months, it hasn’t spiked, it is just barely, it’s been basically even. And in the meantime, we created all these jobs,” Biden argued.
This interview is only the latest of Biden’s attempts to defend his economic policies. The White House also recently celebrated the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, despite the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbling over 1,200 points on the same day.
Inflation is not the only topic Biden seems to be out of touch with. In the same interview, he also claimed the pandemic is “over” in the United States. “We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lotta work on it. But the pandemic is over,” he said.
“If you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape,” Biden pointed out, gesturing to the audience. “So I think it’s changing. And I think this is a perfect example of it.”
However, his remarks contradicted the statements that his own administration made just earlier this month as they urged Americans to seek out booster shots ahead of predicted fall and winter waves.
Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House’s top COVID-19 official, told reporters on Sept. 6 that the pandemic isn’t over and that people need to remain vigilant. “Of course, we continue to look for and prepare for unforeseen twists and turns,” Jha said.
Moreover, federal health officials noted that the average COVID-19 deaths of around 400 per day nationwide remains too high. They also warned that a public health emergency declaration is expected to be renewed at least once more this year.
What Biden did correctly indicate is that COVID restrictions had been largely eliminated in the U.S. by local health departments and travel is back at pre-pandemic levels. The pace of new hospitalizations from the virus has also slowed dramatically following the summer wave driven by omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5.

(Natural News) It would be wonderful if Big Pharma actually produced effective medications and vaccinations that did not bring with them a laundry list of horrific side effects and long term health detriment, but that never seems to be the case. It would also be absolutely amazing if the medical industrial complex, including companies, doctors and laboratory technicians, could function without getting busted right and left for health care fraud, embezzling and kickback schemes.
That’s why it’s always wise to be skeptical of any vaccines, medicines or lab results that the medical industry offers the populace, because there are a bunch of criminals running rackets all across the country. Besides the following cases that are quite bad, imagine how many out there get away with ‘murder’ and never get busted at all. The following health care fraud busts are from 2022. Take heed.
Three dozen telemedicine company executives busted for total of $1.2 billion in health care fraud schemes
A nationwide sting operation by the Justice Department just took down 36 executives for fraudulent testing and medical equipment schemes, seizing over $8 million in cash, plus real estate, yachts and luxury vehicles. Most of the schemes involved illegal kickbacks and bribes by lab owners for patient referrals coming from medical professionals for cardiovascular testing. Note that the COVID-19 vaccines (a.k.a. “clot shots”) just so happen to frequently cause myocarditis and pericarditis, not to mention blood clots and irregular heartbeats, so go figure. Coincidence?
One person charged actually ran several clinical labs and allegedly paid $16 million in kickbacks to marketers at telemedicine companies and call centers that send patients (mostly elderly and disabled) in for cardiovascular and cancer diagnostic testing. This involved hundreds of millions of dollars in false and fraudulent Medicare claims, and the results of the testing were never even used in the treatment of those patients.
Silicon Valley medical tech company president busted in $77 million COVID-19 and “allergy testing” scheme that misled investors
The president of Arrayit Corporation was convicted of health care fraud and an illegal kickback scheme to the tune of $77 million, where he pretended to invent “revolutionary technology” to test for virtually any disease using just a couple droplets of blood. Termed “micro-array technology, Mr. Schena and his publicist name him the “father of micro-array technology” and claimed he was on a shortlist to win the Nobel Prize with his invention that was supposedly worth billions.
Schena lured investors to private meetings to win their confidence while publishing false press releases and tweets about his partnerships with big companies, government agencies, children’s hospitals and public institutions, saying they all already agreed to use his technology. It was all lies.
Two men in Miami convicted in $14 billion health care fraud scheme that preyed on vulnerable addiction treatment hospitals
In a sophisticated “pass-through billing scheme” involving rural hospitals that care for the substance-addicted folks in rural areas, including in Florida, Georgia and Missouri, two men in Miami, Florida got busted laundering proceeds to the tune of $1.4 billion. They defrauded distressed medical facilities across several states for several years, and defrauded private insurers with an elaborate billing scheme that had to do with laboratory testing. Both fellows were convicted of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud, and face up to 20 years for each offense.
Two people from Houston busted for nearly $7 million in Medicaid fraud and kickback scheme
For three years, 2019 through 2021, a manager and operator of a family dental care clinic in Houston illegally billed Medicaid for children’s dental services that were never even provided. One of the accused was practicing pediatric dentistry without a license. They both face years in prison and massive fines for conspiracy to pay and receive kickbacks.
There seems to be a bottomless pit for robbing the medical system, and surely there are thousands of others who already got away with similar crimes, maybe on a bit smaller scale. That’s why it’s becoming increasingly difficult to believe anything these doctors and hospitals tell patients about their medical conditions, including everything having to do with COVID-19 and cancer. Beware of fraud and fake doctors.
