The Bookworm Beat 6/27/16 — the “post-Brexit world” edition and open thread

These academics and professionals may style themselves as an intellectual elite, but the evidence on the ground shows that universities no longer teach, they propagandize. Students are no longer exposed to broad swathes of history, literature, and science. Instead, they drill down endlessly into victim studies, victim literature, and climate change “science.” They come out of college less educated than when they went in.

The symbiotic relationship between the Westboro Baptists and the Left

Here’s the reality: The Westboro Baptist Church is tiny, with only about 40 members. It is not recognized by any mainstream Christian church, including Baptist or other fundamental churches. So far as I know, the church members have never committed an act of violence: no shootings, bombings, stonings, stabbings, beheadings, or even punchings. They are disgusting and cruel, but otherwise completely harmless.

Watch as the world’s cities appear one-by-one over 6,000 years – Metrocosm

“Tactical Vehicles, with bullet proof glass? What ever could those be for, and why are UN vehicles here, in THIS country?!” Fernando Johnson questioned, while Vincent Sammons noted, “They are sealed against gas too.”

WTF?

George Will’s clarifying stance

Keep in mind that Hillary’s will not be a brand new presidency, one in which she starts from scratch, changing the previous administration’s status quo. Instead, she will be Obama’s third term (and that’s separate from worrying about whether, thanks to the blackmail potential from the dirt in her hacked emails, she’ll also be Russia’s and China’s first term in the White House). Think of what Obama has already done, all of which Hillary will continue to do:

Will, don’t let the door hit your sorry ass on the way out!

‘No Fly, No Buy’ Means No Freedom – The Unz Review

If a government bureaucrat can put your name on a secret list on the bureaucrat’s own whim or even using secret standards and, as a result, you have lost a fundamental liberty, then the feds have transformed a natural right into a governmental gift. If the feds can create a no-fly list in secret and “no fly” comes to mean “no buy,” then we have no rights but what the government will permit us to do.

There Are Now More Bureaucrats With Guns Than U.S. Marines

Other administration agencies that have purchased guns and ammo include the Small Business Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Education, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Why in the world does the SBA, NOAA, EPA, FDA, etc, need military-grade arms? Or ANY arms at all? Answer: They don’t. It’s part of the Obamarroid’s promised “civilian national security force.” And he wanted it wanted it as big as all of the nation’s military branches.

In other words, the Democrats want their own private army. To be used to trample you, me, the Constitution, etc.
