RUTHFULLY YOURS

Candidate Joe Biden emphatically denied that he supported the Green New Deal. As with so much else, President Biden is now a convert. His $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan contains enough spending and industrial planning that it amounts to the Green New Deal in disguise.

Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who two weeks ago claimed maternity for the President’s plan. “As much as I think some parts of the party try to avoid saying ‘Green New Deal’ and really dance around and try to not use that term, ultimately, the framework I think has been adopted,” the progressive heroine from Queens boasted. The details prove her point.

Mr. Biden is pitching his plan as having a big economic return on federal investment—and better roads, bridges and ports could increase productivity. But more than half of his plan is dedicated to reducing CO2, with a goal of eliminating fossil fuels with a mix of federal spending, subsidies and regulation. This is a political project with suspect returns.

• Start with $213 billion to build and retrofit two million energy-efficient homes and buildings. These putative “upgrades” would be financed by federal grants, tax credits and the economically inefficient Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP).

After the Me Too movement, the jail sentences for men as old as Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, the firing of too many men who were heads of successful studios and businesses,  the groundswell to impeach Governor Cuomo, we get the full page and ¾  article in the Sunday Times titled “You Will Pay to Be Humiliated” by Alexander Weiss (April 11).   It concerns a “professional Black dominatrix “who extorts money from her willing slaves simply by appearing on Twitter and a short video online and commanding them to shell out until she’s satisfied with the amount. There’s no explaining the myriad ways in which people get their kicks from degradation, but presumably, there are subjects that the Times wouldn’t stoop to indulge in and after all the knocks to Trump for his dalliance with a porn star, we are entitled to be bewildered by the paper’s celebration of this woman and her vocation.

Mistress Marley claims to be a college graduate who puts her life-work in an exalted historical context : “…as a Black woman, I see my financial gains as reparations, because the majority, if not all my clients, are white men.”  So the photos of Marley tightly bound in a corset and holding a white man on a leash are really just an attempt at retributive justice – not an attempt to titillate readers with some hard core bondage.   There is further validation from a psychology professor who explains how “liberating” it is for men to give their money away:  “I believe that findom (financial domination) can actually be a really healthy way to manifest the part of human nature that is about power asymmetry and hierarchy.”     A doctor is on hand as well to offer this enlightening parallel behavior:  “If I’m into golf and golfing is important to me, I will wait to spend money on other things, but I’m not going to go broke buying golf clubs.”

By now everyone must know that the most financially successful product on the internet is porn – specifically child porn.  People have been corrupted into dallying into this most heinous of activities by the ease of its availability  – safe in one’s own home.  Perhaps this has given the Times the freedom to now offer almost two pages of illustrated  salacious behavior, justified by “professionals” who consider  bondage and extortion therapeutic . 

We don’t need to wonder how the Times would feel about Privileged White dommes , as they are known, humiliating and fleecing Black “slaves” –   they don’t have the grit to show that.

As the bloviating disciples of Biden’s administration prattle on about the dignity of law-breaking illegals who cross into this country, it behooves every American to take note of the abiding trespass of Communism to destroy America.  When geographical boundaries of a nation are ignored, it is a military invasion even when no bullets are shot.  Change the demographics and communists win a major victory. 

In the blurb to Ralph de Toledano’s The Greatest Plot in  History, (1963) one learns that “fiction yields no stranger plot — treason rewarded, traitors left free, patriots hounded and duped.  Liberals still in the seats of the mighty. Above all, it is the story of how superbly trained communist agents were infiltrated into key positions; how vital materials and knowledge of secrets processes were transferred to Russia — with the eager cooperation of highly place Liberals and why Liberal naiveté was and remains America’s greatest handicap in dealing with Communists.”

Toledano writes about Arthur Alexandrovitch Adams who in May of 1938 crossed the Canadian border into the United States.  Immigration officials paid casual attention to the fraudulent Canadian birth certificate he carried with him. Customs officials at the time had no idea that Moscow had prepared Adams safe cover for  the theft of America’s most closely guarded nuclear secrets.

In fact, “Communists had given [diplomatic espionage] a new dimension by including . . . industrial, technological and scientific espionage — preying on the private sector by stealing patented processes [.]” Moreover, “nationals of Western countries whose loyalties were subverted and whose idealism was corrupted” were enlisted.

According to Trevor Loudon, this is communism’s big secret.  In essence, how could a relatively tiny communist party influence public policy?  When European revolutions failed in the 1920s, “the communist movement began a long-term plan to move individual countries to socialism by force where possible, by infiltration and manipulation when not.”  Consequently, “education, the churches and the media were all targeted.”  Equally alarming, is the systematic infiltration and manipulation of the legislative bodies of major Western nations.  Currently, most major Western  communist parties, including the Communist Party, USA tend to look to China for leadership.

She grew up in Hungary, daughter of a butcher. She decided she wanted to be a scientist, although she had never met one. She moved to the United States in her 20s, but for decades never found a permanent position, instead clinging to the fringes of academia.

Now Katalin Kariko, 66, known to colleagues as Kati, has emerged as one of the heroes of Covid-19 vaccine development. Her work, with her close collaborator, Dr. Drew Weissman of the University of Pennsylvania, laid the foundation for the stunningly successful vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

For her entire career, Dr. Kariko has focused on messenger RNA, or mRNA — the genetic script that carries DNA instructions to each cell’s protein-making machinery. She was convinced mRNA could be used to instruct cells to make their own medicines, including vaccines.

But for many years her career at the University of Pennsylvania was fragile. She migrated from lab to lab, relying on one senior scientist after another to take her in. She never made more than $60,000 a year.

By all accounts intense and single-minded, Dr. Kariko lives for “the bench” — the spot in the lab where she works. She cares little for fame. “The bench is there, the science is good,” she shrugged in a recent interview. “Who cares?”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and infectious Diseases, knows Dr. Kariko’s work. “She was, in a positive sense, kind of obsessed with the concept of messenger RNA,” he said.
