Massie Threatened With Fine for Exposing Betrayal

It was enraging enough to watch our supposed representatives waving the flag of a foreign nation (compliments of congresscommie Diana Degette [D-CO]) as they bestowed upon it another $60 billion of our money. Then they compounded the outrage with this:

Do Mike Johnson et al. think they can keep it secret that they do not represent the American people?

On the positive side, at least the drinks will keep flowing in Ukraine and there is a happy smile on Zelensky’s face:

Lincoln Center Cancels Mozart

Like Beethoven, Mozart is arguably one of the two greatest composers who ever lived. Like Beethoven, he faces cancelation as part of the campaign to eradicate Western Civilization:

In 2020, [New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts] began promoting a story that a vibrant black community known as San Juan Hill had been deliberately snuffed out in the 1950s to make way for its creation.

Self-hatred is a central pillar of modern liberalism, as is constructing pernicious narratives upon lies.

“The displacement of Indigenous, Black, and Latinx families that took place prior to the construction of our campus is abhorrent,” declares the center’s “Message on Our Commitment to Change.”

What is abhorrent is that those entrusted as the custodians of high culture are actively destroying it:

In consequence, last summer the center canceled its “Mostly Mozart” festival in favor of more “inclusive” fare — sponsoring rappers, pop groups and an LGBTQ mariachi band while hanging a 10-foot-wide disco ball above its fountain.

Pushing Mozart aside in favor of an LGBTQ mariachi band is the quintessence of social justice.

This summer’s programming, just announced, will lead off with “the debut duet of two superstar queens from the blockbuster reality competition ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’” followed by “Argentinian queercore,” comedians of “Indian heritage” and “silent disco.”

That’s the cultural heritage that will be left to future generations after Mozart, Beethoven, et al. have been erased.

That building the Lincoln Center somehow oppressed sacred BIPOCs isn’t even true. The neighborhood was overwhelmingly white at the time.

If everything is going to be based on lies, why not announce that Mozart was a transvestite illegal immigrant from Africa who indulged in disgusting sexual practices? That way he might escape getting vaporized.

Self-Immolator Maxwell Azzarello Was a Moonbat

No matter how far they take their depraved ideology, progressives manage to progress still further. Less than 2 months ago we were shocked when lefty Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire to demonstrate his support for Hamas following the terror atrocities of October 7. Before long, it will be a fad, before moonbats move on to something more horrifying still. Already we have a copycat in Maxwell Azzarello:

A man set himself on fire in front of the Manhattan courtroom on Friday as a CNN live broadcast reported on the jury being seating in former President Donald Trump’s trial.

Azzarello died of his self-inflicted injuries.

He left a manifesto, which reveals an unsurprising political orientation.

Azzarello had a paranoid interest in conservative tech billionaire Peter Thiel, believed that “capitalism is unsustainable,” and fretted about fascism and climate change. He had worked for Democrat congresscritters Tom Suozzi and Ami Bera, as well as for the self-described “social justice organization” Liberty Hill Foundation. His LinkedIn photo was a picture of him standing next to Bill Clinton. He described himself as “a huge proponent of left unity” and an “anarchocommunist” — i.e., a radical moonbat of the type you might expect to do something really crazy in a public park.

Nonetheless, the media will spin his viewpoint as nonpartisan even pro-Trump if they think they can get away with it.

VIEWER ADVISORY: Death by moonbattery can be disturbing:

Squatters Seize Gordon Ramsay’s Pub

The collapse of property rights in the face of moonbattery has allowed squatters to seize not only homes but also businesses. Even the rich and famous are effected — like Gordon Ramsay:

A swarm of squatters have shacked up inside the celebrity chef’s $16.1 million pub — using Ramsay’s own kitchen appliances to barricade themselves inside, according to a report.

Shocking photographs taken by The Sun show the “professional squatters” holed up inside York & Albany pub, which the “Hell’s Kitchen” host was about to sign over to new partners in a multi-million dollar deal.

One person was seen barefoot and sprawled across on a black leather sofa inside the restaurant, with their personal belongings and debris, including empty wine bottles, strewn across the floor.

The pub was temporarily closed while a new lease was being finalized, providing the scumbags with a window of opportunity. Now that they are ensconced, it won’t be easy to get them out again in a city run by leftists. The “professional squatters” have put glue in the locks and have threatened legal action against anyone attempting to dislodge them.

Turgenev saw human beings as individuals always endowed with consciousness, character, feelings, and moral strengths and weaknesses; Marx saw them always as snowflakes in an avalanche, as instances of general forces, as not yet fully human because utterly conditioned by their circumstances. Where Turgenev saw men, Marx saw classes of men; where Turgenev saw people, Marx saw the People. These two ways of looking at the world persist into our own time and profoundly affect, for better or for worse, the solutions we propose to our social problems. - Theodore Dalrymple

UCLA School of Medicine Glorifies Revolutionary Suicide

Let’s hope the young doctors coming out of UCLA’s medical school never encounter patients as sick as the moonbats in charge of their instruction. Earlier we learned they were subjected to a mandatory 2-hour lecture by the keffiyeh-covered Lisa Gray-Garcia, who denounced modern medicine as “white science,” proclaimed the October 7 terror atrocities to be justified, and demanded students kneel in obeisance to “Mama Earth.” Now we learn of a talk hosted by the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences that promoted self-immolation as a form of “revolutionary suicide”:

The talk, “Depathologizing Resistance,” was delivered on April 2 by two psychiatry residents at UCLA, Drs. Ragda Izar and Afaf Moustafa, under the auspices of the department’s diversity office and UCLA’s Health Ethics Center, according to slides and emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

No diversity office serves a constructive purpose. Neither does an “ethics center” run by fiends who encourage suicide for political purposes.

The remarks centered on the suicide of Aaron Bushnell, the U.S. serviceman who set himself on fire in February to protest U.S. support for Israel—or, as Izar put it, “indigenous Palestine.”

Regarding the moonbat Bushnell’s conspicuous mental illness,

“Yes, he carried a lot of distress,” Izar said, according to audio of the talk reviewed by the Free Beacon. “But does that mean the actions he engaged in are any less valid?”

With leftists in charge, a psychiatrist’s job isn’t to make you less crazy. It is to affirm you in your craziness.

The talk reflects the erosion of what was until recently a bedrock medical norm: From the American Psychiatric Association to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, all professional mental health bodies warn against glorifying self-harm, lest it inspire others to harm themselves.

The “first do no harm” principle went out the window in favor of “gender-affirming care.” Now doctors are cutting healthy fingers off to pander to the psychotic delusions of their patients. The notoriously kooky psychiatry field wasn’t about to be left behind in this march of progress.

The Experts have praised the kids they help mess up for committing suicide:

Pediatricians got a vivid taste of the brave new world in 2022 when Morissa Ladinsky, in an address at the American Academy of Pediatrics’s annual conference, praised a transgender teenager, Leelah Alcorn, for “boldly … ending her life” and leaving a suicide note that “went viral, literally around the world.”

Ladinsky, a pediatrician at the University of Alabama Children’s Hospital, leads the clinic’s “Gender Health Team.”

Back to UCLA:

Izar and Moustafa, who are practicing psychiatrists, argued that self-immolation is a reasonable response to geopolitical events and that the taboo against it serves “the interests of power.” By “perpetuating the stigma of self-immolation,” they said, psychiatrists “discredit” resistance to “power structures” like “colonization,” “homophobia,” and “white supremacy,” framing legitimate acts of protest as signs of psychiatric dysfunction.

In short, they are as nutty as their patients, but with the difference that their nuttiness is more dangerous because it centers on an evil ideology.

Their contentions undercut official guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which warns that “bestowing honor and admiration” on suicide victims can inspire others to take their own lives.

No doubt the CDC will get on board once it realizes that encouraging mentally ill people to commit suicide helps combat colonialization, homophobia, and white supremacy, et cetera, ad nauseam.

[Liberal] jargon was peppered throughout Izar and Moustafa’s talk. One slide asserted that psychiatry has “weaponized tools of colonization, racism, anti-blackness, homophobia, and various tools of oppressions.” Another told psychiatrists to “embed your practice with an anti-colonial lens” and “recognize that mental health is intimately tied to liberation.”

Every institution subverted by leftists is reduced to a dysfunctional, demented, malevolent farce. The medical profession will be no exception.
