On this day in 1944, the Normandy Invasion, also called Operation Overlord or D-Day, was launched. D-Day marked the beginning of the Allied invasion of western Europe during World War II. Below is a Navy team in training:

Daniel Greenfield explains in detail why our downward spiral
is the result of deliberate destruction:
Our Economic Misery Isn’t An Accident, It’s
The Plan
Americans can’t afford to buy a
used car or even gas because the Left doesn’t want them to drive. They can’t
buy homes because the Left wants to destroy the suburbs and force everyone to
live in megacities. They have trouble buying meat because the Left wants them
to eat soy.
The same is true for the whole
exercise in planned economic misery that we’re experiencing.
. . .
There are predictions that gas will
hit $6 a gallon nationwide by the summer because the Biden administration has
worked hard to raise energy prices and create artificial shortages. Biden’s
people just got through once again sabotaging oil and gas leases because they
want higher energy prices. $6 a gallon is not the result of political inattentiveness,
that is the plan.
Inflation isn’t an unintentional
accident either. . . .[I]nflation is doing what it’s meant to do, wiping out
savings, and triggering retaliatory interest rate hikes to “cool down” the
economy. The middle class ends up poorer and more vulnerable, government
dependency rises and social mobility falls. Socialism starts looking better
every day. That’s how it worked in the twentieth century and still works today.
. . .
If Americans don’t understand that
our misery isn’t an accident or incompetence, but part of a plan then the
downward cycle will continue to play out with increasingly worse outcomes.
Until the Left finally gets what it
wants. And then the rest of us won’t have anything left.

Dr Joseph Mercola doesn’t think much of bazillionaire Bill Gates and his elitist de-populationist fake food agenda. Dr Mercola is posting, as usual, at NOQ, and here’s the bullet point summary:
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Click here for the full article. My caveat:
In the article, one of the sections is headed “Abbott [Nutrition’s
Sturgis, Michigan facility] Enriched Shareholders While Formula Sickened Babies.”
Maybe, but maybe not. From a reader
comment posted by lakerman1 at Lucianne.com:
These are the facts as I understand
them. Two babies became ill and died, and two more became ill but survived. A
particular bacterium existed in all four babies, and all four babies were on
Abbott formula. The federal inspectors went to Abbott, but did not find the bacterium
in secure processing areas, but found it in external, non-secure areas of the
plant. So the FDA shut down the entire plant. It is much more likely that the
four babies’ formula bottles were contaminated by their caregivers in preparing
the bottles.
For one thing, I wouldn’t trust the FDA any more than I
trust the CDC, NIH, FBI, or DOJ.

Dr Fauci just confirmed once and for all that mask mandates have nothing to do with health ~ and everything to do with control. Summit News reports:
. . . Fauci said at the time that more
time was needed and that mask mandates should be kept in place. Now he admits
it’s not about health concerns, but purely about maintaining power.
Speaking with Fox host Neil Cavuto,
Fauci said “One of the issues, Neil, that I have articulated in the past and I
will in the future – it’s less about mandates on the plane than it is about who
has the right and the authority and the capability of making public health
decisions.”
He continued, “I believe that the
Department of Justice is operating on the principle that decisions that are
public health decisions belong with the public health agency, in this case, the
CDC.”
“So it’s more of a matter of principle
of where the authority lies than it is about whether or not there’s gonna be a
mandate on a plane or not,” Fauci declared. . . .

The Editorial Board at Issues & Insights weighed in on the recently concluded World Economic Forum in Davos. The title of the editorial, “The Devils of Davos,” is not hyperbole. Here’s Klaus Schwab’s shameless statement and a blogger response:
- “When it comes to business and economic activities, Davos is not a place for narrow self-interest,” WEF chairman and founder Klaus Schwab said. “It is instead a place for the implementation of the notion of stakeholder capitalism, a concept I’m fighting for since 50 years.”
“‘Stakeholder capitalism’ is an
oxymoron, and it is a synonym for
fascism,” writes ‘Streetwise Professor’.
“‘Stakeholder capitalism’ has no
limiting principle. It can be used to claim control over anything anywhere
anytime … It is a synonym for fascism because it is a variant on corporatism,
which is the essence of the fascist economic model.”
More interesting quotes and comments at Issues & Insights are here. And “Streetwise Professor” further elaborates:
'Stakeholder capitalism’ is an oxymoron, because capitalism means that the owners of capital make the decisions on how it is used. Marxists have never liked the way that capitalists used it, which is why they wanted to expropriate it. At least they were honest, and didn’t say they were advocating “socialized capitalism.” “Stakeholder capitalism” means that those who don’t own something can nonetheless dictate how to use it, because they have some self-asserted “stake” in it. Using the word “capitalism” is a clever trick to seduce non-Marxists into believing that what Schwab et al are advocating is just a kinder, gentler version of a free market economy, when in fact their agenda is profoundly anti-capitalism and anti-freedom.

There’s an interview at The Daily Signal with the two
producers of Capitol Punishment. You’ll
remember Nick Searcy from the film Gosnell,
or in Cast Away as Tom Hanks’s
buddy. I was not familiar with Chris
Burgard’s work. Robert Bluey, executive editor of The
Daily Signal, is the interviewer.
The full transcript is disturbing and devastating. Our household plans to watch the film online over
the weekend. For now, here’s the
conclusion of the interview with links to the film itself (online @ $9.99):
Movie ‘Capitol Punishment’ Tells Stories
You Won’t Hear From Jan. 6 Committee
Searcy: Well, to be
honest, I must say, at the beginning I was reluctant because I was scared. And
so many of the people that we talk to, we interview a number of people in the
movie, but there’s an equal number, if not more, that were afraid to speak to
us.
Because when you see the way the government is treating these
people, it makes you wonder, “Is it worth it?” But as we kind of got going, and
Chris and I, “OK, we’re going to make this movie,” and we started talking to
people as it went on, it became something that I knew I had to do. We had to
finish this. We had to see it through. …
