This paper dovetails with the premise of a post I wrote in the Forum awhile back about Göbekli Tepe. The archaeological site appears to confound the standard theory that cities (civilization) emerged from agricultural communities. Göbekli Tepe was an advanced city 10,000 years ago, but there is no evidence of prior or contemporary agriculture in the area.

Here’s the paper’s abstract:

Biden Admin flagging posts for “fact checkers”

So, if you had any doubts the the Democratic Party is engaging in censorship by proxy, you have no excuse now.

Even the Kremlin has leaks. This very reputable source is putting the flesh on the bones of what we already knew – Putin chose Trump to be his candidate of choice in 2016 and ordered his government to help him.

According to The Guardian . . . “There is a brief psychological assessment of Trump, who is described as an “impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex”.

Also according to The Guardian, the Kremlin paper asserts that they have compromising materials gathered during earlier Trump visits.

Slowly, but surely, ALL the truth is going to come out.

We have already had tragedies of too realistic toy guns. We also have needless deaths from children playing with real guns.

So now we had the manufacturing of a real gun make to look like a Lego toy. I understand we are a bit gun crazy but I now think we might just be crazy.

I think many people don’t appreciate the level of historical cooperation between government in Washington D.C. and the entertainment industry in Hollywood. This story documents one example in which Congress passed a law that enabled the FBI to have full creative control over a popular TV show from 1965 to 1974.

How cute and innocent, one might say, given the context of the times. I would suggest, however, that similar arrangements still exist and are more sophisticated than ever.

Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) stands up against the insanity gripping the GOP – this time its leaders killing people with their outrage politics rhetoric about fighting the pandemic. He knows this insanity is self-destructive and that “garbage politicians” like Ted Cruz are going to crash the GOP plane into the ground if Republican voters listen to them.

Laura Field, Senior Fellow @ the Niskanen Center and Scholar-in-Residence @ American University, takes today’s version of the Claremont Institute, a former think tank in the Conservative vein, and shows how it is become bastion of T****ism and racism. It’s a long read (27 pages in .pdf format), but worth the time to see what today’s “conservatism” has come to.

I believe America is dead. The constitutional experiment of our nation’s founding has failed.

All of us who live within the legal boundaries of the Union are therefore at great risk. Civil war and external aggression against us are all but certain.

The puzzle to be solved is this: How can the hypothesis of America’s death be proved or disproved?
