Our Lady of Fatima

2022-03-16T12:21:16Z

JoeJN:

'''Our Lady of Fatima''' is a Catholic [[Marian Apparition]] that occurred in [[Fatima]], [[Portugal]] from 1917 onward. The apparitions warned of the errors of Russia that were then spreading, a reference to Communism's growth around the world. They informed the Catholic Church's Anti-Communist stance.

"The story begins in the village of Fatima, Portugal, on May 13, 1917. On that fateful day near that tiny village, The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, appeared to three young peasant children: Francisco, Jacinta, and Lucia; ages 10, 9 and 7. As was the custom, these youngsters were tending their family’s sheep when “a Lady all in white, more brilliant than the sun… indescribably beautiful,” standing above a bush, appeared to the youngsters.

From May through October 1917, the Lady appeared and spoke to the children on the 13th day of each month." <ref>https://fatimachurchabq.org/our-lady-of-fatima-miracle</ref>

One of the Fatima prophesies was that Russia would spread error until it was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In 2022, Pope Francis announced he would do that, fulfilling the prophesy after over 100 years. The long-term effects of this have not yet been seen.

Baathism

JoeJN:

'''Baathism'''. [[Arab]] [[socialism]]. Ba'ath (from the Arabic for "revival")<ref>[http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Ba'athist Ba'athist - definition of Ba'athist by The Free Dictionary]</ref>, also locally called '''Assadism''' in Syria and '''Saddamism''' in Iraq- an Arabism ideology with admiration for Islam and admiration for as well as influenced by [[Nazism]], [[Hitler]]ism.

In 1947, the Ba'th party was founded by three French-educated [[Syria]]n intellectuals Michel 'Aflaq, raised as Greek Orthodox Christian but admiring Islam, together with Salah al-Din Bitar a Sunni Muslim, and Zaki al-Arsuzi, an Alawite Muslim.<ref>Adel Soheil (2018).

<blockquote>
Similar to al-Husri, ''''Aflaq was an ardent proponent of pan-Arab ideology celebrating the glorious Islamic past''' and advocating the unity of all Arab states. However, he deviated slightly from al-Husri's though in that he endeavoured to create a synthesis between nationalism and socialism applicable to all Arab states.

'''Apart from 'Aflaq's enthusiasm for Hitler, he also deemed his National-Socialist Germany as a model for the society he wanted to create. When the pro-German pan-Arab nationalists under al-Gilani took power with the support of the Third Reich in Iraq, 'Aflaq formed a committee to defend al-Gilani's regime. German nationalist ideology appealed strongly to 'Aflaq and his young generation'''.
As it is confirmed by one of the old Ba'thists, they were "influenced by Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Fichte's Fourteen Letters to the German Nation, and Hitler's Mein Kampf," ''''Aflaq's pro-Nazi inclination''', despite his studying in France and becoming acquainted with the constitutional basis of the French Revolution...

Essay:Greatest Conservative Video Games

2022-02-13T17:16:03Z

JoeJN:

Although the video game industry by and large is liberal, there have been instances of video games promoting conservative values.

==Artifex Mundi==
This small studio mostly works on mobile games, but their PC title ''Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka With Love'' is a very funny take on young and naïve people fiercely promoting socialism/communism.

The point-and-click game takes place in 1951 during the Cold War and portrays a young journalist, Evan, who defends Matryoshka's communist regime and its dictator, a clear parallel with the USSR, in any opportunity. He is then sent to Matryoshka and gets involved in a tale of espionage while experiencing the communist regime and slowly coming to terms with reality. As an example, when he sees a bread line in the beginning of his adventure, he somehow spins that as a positive thing, in the sense of "how the supreme leader is feeding all his people". A must-play for young teenagers who are flirting with leftist ideologies.

==Axis Entertainment==
This India-based gaming studio produces child-friendly, free games (sponsored by ads which are targeted toward their audience's parents).

Their main offering is the '''[[Baby Hazel]]''' game series. The title character is a two-year-old female toddler, featured doing positive activities (taking care of her newborn brother Matt, fixing food in the kitchen with her mother) and learning positive traits (manners, hygiene). The family is portrayed as a traditional nuclear family (father, mother, Hazel, and baby brother Matt) along with extended family, various friends and pets. One offering features Earth Day, but portrayed in a neutral manner to show care for the environment without getting into liberal traits. Many of the offerings feature Hazel saying prayers, not usually seen in secular video games.

However, the graphics are very simplistic and the games are known to have glitches in them; if a level is frozen the entire game must be restarted from the beginning (though there are only four levels in each game). Also being a foreign company the games do not feature proper English grammar (either American or British).

==Ubisoft==
*Watchdogs: Despite coming from the ultra-liberal video game company Ubisoft, the game Watch Dogs has several Conservative messages, namely those of pro-family, anti-crime, and anti-big government. However, its sequel qualified as liberal.
*Assassin's Creed Unity: Despite it coming from the ultra-liberal video game company Ubisoft as well as the liberal ''Assassin's Creed'' video game franchise, the game's plot specifically condemned the French Revolution and its adherents, with various notable figures of the French Revolution and Reign of Terror being targets for assassination.
*''Rainbow Six'' series: Based on the Tom Clancy novel of the same name, it deals with a special forces unit dealing with terrorists worldwide.
*''Ghost Recon'' series: Like with Rainbow Six, it deals with a special forces unit combating terrorists.

==Koei-Tecmo==
*''Dead or Alive'' series: The fighting game franchise had several conservative messages. One of which was pro-family, as the main character, Kasumi, joined the Dead or Alive tournament specifically to avenge her brother when he ended up critically injured by her uncle, and Kasumi, despite being on the run from her clan due to her technically violating their laws to do so, ultimately wants to return to her clan and family someday throughout the series, and in Dead or Alive 4, 5, and Dimensions, Ayane eventually managed to put aside her murderous jealousy against her half-sister and try to aid her. Similarly, Hayate, her brother, is also reluctant to kill his sister, despite the law mandating it, and their mother, Ayame, also stops Ayane (who was an illegitimate child due to Raidou, the uncle of Hayate and Kasumi who was responsible for the former's injury, having previously raped Ayame) from committing suicide and specifically stated not to kill Kasumi specifically because she was family, which was stronger than any Shinobi code. Similarly, in Dead or Alive 5, the character of Helena Douglas attempts to honor her deceased father's memory by restoring DOATEC to what her father Fame envisioned, and her overall character arc had her trying to avenge her deceased mother when she was murdered during a performance. In addition, the reason Helena's mother had died was because she took the bullet to save her daughter, due to said assassin, Christie, actually aiming for Helena herself during the performance. In addition, the character Hitomi in Dead or Alive 4 took control of the dojo specifically because her father had succumbed to an illness and needed money to help him and his dojo, with the character Gen-Fu having a similar motive regarding his granddaughter Mei Lin in Dead or Alive 1 and 2, entering to gain money for an operation to save her, and in Dead or Alive 3 to pay the medical bills, retiring only after she was fully cured and he fully paid off the debt and spending time with her afterward. Helena Douglas is also depicted as a Christian as well as depicted in a more positive light. In addition, even though it was a Japanese-created game series, it is also notable as featuring a surprisingly pro-American message in the form of the Armstrongs, as their patriotism was depicted in a positive light, and the character Tina was depicted as also trying to follow through with the American Dream. Also has an anti-cloning message, as the villainous DOATEC (and later, MIST) created various clones of Kasumi, with all of them being depicted as either villains (Alpha Kasumi, later known as Alpha-152) or victims (Phase 4). There is also a slight condemnation against feminism in Dead or Alive 5, as Tina tells Mila that "pretty girls shouldn't fight." On a related note, similar to Isabelle in ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'' below, one of the expansions for ''Dead or Alive 5'', ''Last Round'', featured the debut of the character Honoka, who is depicted as being very positive and eager, and is the antithesis of a modern feminist.

==Konami==
*Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: Although it was part of the liberal ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' series, and also gave some hints at promoting the concept of [[Globalism]] and also relativism (and to a lesser extent nihilism) via The Boss's philosophy, the game's overall message was surprisingly conservative, emphasizing a promotion of patriotism in a (in comparison to the rest of the series at least) positive light throughout most of the game, and also featuring the Soviet Union and Communism in general in a more negative light, including depicting the main villain, Colonel Volgin, in a truly villainous and horrific light, as well as referencing several real-life [[war crimes]] conducted by the USSR such as the [[Katyn Massacre|massacre at Katyn Forest]] during World War II (including making clear that the Soviets, in particular Volgin, was responsible for the event, not the Nazis which was even referenced in-game, as well as making explicitly clear that [[Joseph Stalin]] had ordered for the massacre by the NKVD in the first place, as well as similar massacres within the Ukraine and [[Kurapaty|Western Belarus]] as well as it resulting in at least 24,000 deaths including the mass grave discovered by the Wehrmacht near Gnezdovo village), the massacres during the [[Hungarian Revolution of 1956|Hungarian Revolution in 1956]] as well as the [[Uprising of East Germany in 1953|uprising in East Germany]] on June 17, 1953. It also to a certain extent attempts to promote American values (especially in comparison to most entries in the series prior to and after that game). In addition, the man trying to defect from the Soviet Union to America in the beginning of the game, Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolov, is shown in a sympathetic light and was also shown to be a family man, as when defecting to the United States and trying to cross the Iron Curtain, he made clear that he won't leave without his family, and late in the game, when acknowledging he probably won't be able to go to America, he has Naked Snake swear to take care of his family for him. In addition, it has a slight anti-homosexual agenda message due to the character Major Raikov alongside the main villain Volgin being strongly implied to be in a homosexual relationship, and neither character being depicted in a positive or sympathetic light. Also, contrary to most Cold War-related storylines which usually downplays Soviet involvement in various third-world conflicts such as Vietnam, it is made explicitly clear that the Soviets played a huge role in various uprisings within the third world, with radio conversations dealing with various weapons making very clear that the Soviets had involvement in South Vietnam, in the Malaysia Emergency, and that they even devised various traps specifically to be adopted by any communist allies in third world regions and were researching various traps within the Soviet Union via one of the key locations in the game. Volgin's main plan for the Shagohod also involved mass-producing it for the Eastern Bloc and then using it as bait to ferment uprisings against "dictators, ethnic insurgents, and revolutionary groups" throughout the third world, which not only acts as further confirmation of Soviet communism's involvement in the third world uprisings, but also hints at Volgin planning on engineering revolts against the USSR while he is in control of it, alluding to how various Communist ideologues often tried to instigate revolts even when firmly in power (owing to Karl Marx's advocating that the communists upon assuming power be obliged to reenact Robespierre's Reign of Terror).
**Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops: Like ''Snake Eater'' above, it also attempts to invoke patriotism in a more positive light, and the main villains are explicitly shown to try and invoke nihilism, anti-American commentary as well as promoting class warfare at one point (citing a growing gap between the rich and poor during a speech midway through the game). It also has a condemnation against Soviet policies, as a large part of the reason why the personnel of a missile base in Colombia (who were of Soviet origin) ended up turning to Gene's cause was out of revenge for essentially being cut off from the Soviet brass due to the events of Détente in order for the Soviets to place the blame on "out-of-control soldiers" in the event the base was discovered, and when the Soviet personnel ultimately did aid Snake in stopping the possible nuclear launch against the Soviet Union, it is solely due to the Soviet Union being their homeland and not out of any love for its policies. Similar to ''Metal Gear Solid 3'', it makes clear that the Soviets were also heavily involved in the actions of various liberation fronts in the third world, as the reason the Soviets had the missile base in Colombia in the first place was because the Soviets had been aiding the [[Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia|FARC]] communist rebel group in the backstory, and the character Frank Jaegar, aka, Null, had formerly been a member of the communist-backed FREMILO, with Big Boss being implied to have aided the Portuguese Soldiers during the Mozambician Civil War.
*Contra series: Pro-military and Pro-American. American heroes fight against villainous organizations and alien invaders.
*Castlevania series: Various members of the Belmont Clan, implied to be Christian (in Castlevania II, Simon Belmont restores his HP by visiting a church, in Castlevania III, Trevor Belmont kneels before a Cross in the intro, and in the Nintendo 64 version of the game, the character Reinhardt Schneider is seen making the trinity prayer gesture ["in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit"] in the beginning of his scenario, and when comforting Rosa, offers her last rites.) fight against the occult forces of Count Dracula.

==Play Mechanix Inc.==
*[[Big Buck Hunter]] series: Pro-hunting arcade game series.

==Electronic Arts==
*Battlefield series: Similarly to the Call of Duty series, it tends to promote American values as well as being pro-military. However its recent title Battlfield V betrays its fanbase for the sake of being woke. Allowing for female soldiers even though it historicaly inacurate for non russian female soldiers in WW2. The game has also made "white men" a swear word.
*Medal of Honor series: Like above, it tends to promote American values as well as being pro-military. Although the series mostly deals with the events of [[World War II]], two of the more recent games deal with the [[War in Afghanistan]].
*Command And Conquer series: A military real-time strategy series divided into three sub-series: ''Tiberium, Red Alert'' and ''Generals''. The ''Tiberium'' series, however, promotes globalism but at the same time, condemns religious extremism. The latter two are more conservative and pro-American, with ''Red Alert'' fighting against Soviet communism and ''Generals'' fighting against Islamic extremism.

==Nintendo==
*''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' series: Similar in vein to stories such as ''Lord of the Rings'', ''Beowulf'', and ''The Chronicles of Narnia'', the games detail a classic message of good fighting evil, and also featured implicit Christian themes in the series (in fact, until the third game, the religion of the people in the games was supposed to be Christianity, hence the cross on Link's Shield in the first game). The main villain, Ganon, is revealed to have originally belonged to a group known as the Gerudo, who are depicted as a nearly all-female race (Ganon, or more accurately his human form Ganondorf, being the only exception) and having traits resembling Muslims, hinting at an anti-feminist/anti-Islam message. There was also a pro-family message in at least one game in the series, as one of the entries, ''Wind Waker'', featured Link trying to save his sister after she was abducted early on in the game, as well as their getting along amicably throughout.
*Radar Mission: Pro-military game based on the board game battleship, it teaches the player the art of strategy, with the story involving the player fighting against an enemy fleet and, later, an enemy airfield that is implied to be the main headquarters of the enemy. Also has an alternate game mode that deals with Submarine warfare.
*''[[Metroid]]'' series: Although largely being based on the liberal movie franchise ''Alien'', the game franchise has several conservative elements. Namely, it depicts piracy and terrorism in a negative manner in the form of the murderous Space Pirates who frequently act as the main antagonists of the franchise. The game ''Super Metroid'' also promotes parenthood in a positive light, as the main plotline of the game involved Samus Aran trying to rescue her "child", a Metroid hatchling she adopted after wiping out its race in the previous game due to it imprinting on her, from the Space Pirate forces. The Prime series also depicts the military in a positive manner in the form of the Galactic Federation Marines, and some of the Chozo Logs as well as the Luminoth also have some similarities to biblical accounts (i.e., the Worm, alluding to the titular antagonist Metroid Prime, alluding to Wormwood in the book of revelations). In addition, although the main protagonist, Samus Aran, is female, it does not promote the concept of feminism. The game ''Metroid Fusion'' also showcases the warnings of playing god and government corruption.
*''[[Punch-Out!!]]'' series: Pro-American dream, as the player, as Little Mac, a rookie boxer from New York, has to fight to the championship to acquire the title of world champion of boxing.
* ''Cooking Mama'' series: A charming cooking series that utilizes the mechanics of the games system's mechanics to teach cooking. Does favor traditional gender roles with the title character, Mama, an enthusiastic chef/stay-at-home mother. This series was "parodied" by [[PETA]] (The parody game is subtitled ''Mama Kills Animals''!) due to the series including meat-based recipes, but the developers, Majesco, exploited the frenetic attention that PETA was gaining with such gore. The series started in 2006 and has been steady releasing games, the most recent being a mobile app game called ''Cooking Mama: Let's Cook!''

==''Paranoid Productions''==
*''The Church In The Darkness'': The game's premise deals with a preacher infiltrating a cult to save their nephew. The antagonistic cult is heavily implied to be based on the cult led by the infamous [[Jim Jones]]. Aside from it condemning the socialist elements as well as being pro-traditional christianity and pro-family, it also has a condemnation of [[social justice warrior]] elements, as the game repeatedly refers to the antagonistic cult as "collective justice warriors."<ref>https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2019/08/the-church-in-the-darkness-gameplay-walkthrough/90218/</ref>

==Sega==
*''Streets of Rage'' series: An anti-crime and anti-gang series in which former police officers fight against a crime syndicate run by a "Mr. X."

==SNK==
*''Metal Slug'' series: Pro-military and pro-American, deals with the main characters trying to fight terrorists of various stripes.
*''Iron Tank'': Unlike its predecessor ''Guerilla War'', this involved an American tank commando trying to take down the Nazis, and is blatantly pro-American.

==Synergestic Software==
*''Super Battleship'': Pro-military strategy game based on the board game Battleship. In addition to the standard game, there is also a story-based mode that has you dealing with several military operations and fighting against enemy fleets (implied by the eagle on the flag to be the Nazis). Teaches the player about the art of strategy.

==Pterodon/Illusion Software==
*''Vietcong'': Promotes American forces in a positive light, and, despite the title of the game, the Vietcong are depicted as villains in this. Overall promotes the [[Vietnam War]].

==Square-Enix==
*''Final Fantasy:'' The first game in the franchise has a simple tale of Good vs. Evil.
*''Final Fantasy IV:'' Promotes the concept of redemption, and showcases a clear message of good vs. evil.

==Capcom==
*''194X'' series: Despite being made by the Japanese developer Capcom, this series of scrolling shooters has the player playing as and American Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighting in the Pacific War.
*''Devil May Cry'' Series: Has messages about stopping demonic forces of hell and protecting humanity/having a heart with pro-family themes throughout the 5 games.
*''Mega Man ZX'' series: Has a significant condemnation of [[Social Darwinism]] in the form of Serpent and Master Albert, and also has a condemnation of homosexuality in the form of Rospark the Floroid. Also depicts terrorism in a very negative light.
*Final Fight: Pro-family and anti-crime. Metro City's new mayor, Mike Haggar, vows to get tough on crime. In response, the city's infamous "Mad Gear" gang kidnaps Haggar's daughter, Jessica and demands that he "just let us do what we want to like the old mayor did," implying that the old mayor was in collusion with the Mad Gears. Mike Haggar, Jessica's boyfriend Cody, and Cody's friend Guy take to the streets and fight through the Mad Gear gang to rescue Jessica. The ending shows Mike embracing his daughter, comforting her after her traumatic experience with him saying "I thought I'd lose you the way I lost your mother" and Jessica responding "I love you, Daddy."

==Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.==
*''Ace Combat 04:Shattered Skies'': Pro-military and has the player fighting against a fictional fascist regime. The last mission has heavy Christian symbolism. Megalith, a superweapon designed to alter the course of asteroids to any target on Earth, has been activated by rogue military officers, and has the weapon direct asteroids to the continent. The falling of the asteroids images one of the events in the Book of Revelations. The mission to destroy Megalith symbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus: the superweapon itself is shaped like a crucifix (a symbol of death), Megalith is a stone used to sacrifice animals and to create tombs. To destroy Megalith, the player has to fly inside the superweapon and destroy the generators and missiles inside. This symbolizes Jesus sacrificing his life as the Lamb of God to save mankind from their sins as the player is "sacrificing" his life to stop the asteroids killing civilians. Indeed, the background music is a repeated Latin chorus which is translated as:

''Lamb of God,
''who take away the sins of the world
''Grant them rest.

The destruction of the superweapon by the player symbolizes the defeat of death by Christ, with the AWACS officer remarking, "Heroes really do exist. We've just seen one, and now he's coming home." As he says this, sunlight breaks through the clouds, and the player flies towards them as he returns to base, symbolizing Christ's Ascension.

==Rockstar==
*''L.A. Noir'': Despite being made by Rockstar, L.A. Noir places the character in the role of a detective rather than a criminal. The player investigates murders and collects evidence, interrogates witnesses and suspects while chasing down criminals. The player also has the option of stopping street crime during the game at random intervals. L.A. Noir stresses using intelligence and insight to solve crimes rather than commit them as done in other games. This is the only Rockstar game which doesn't use violence except in the furtherance of stopping a crime against an innocent party. The player is rewarded for capturing a suspect rather than appealing to violence as a first consideration.

==Paradox Interactive==
* ''Crusader Kings III'': This is a Role-playing game that takes place during the [[Medieval Age]] in Europe, North [[Africa]], and the [[Middle East]]. This period is famous for its piousness and devotion to the principles of God, as in opposition to the values of sin. It also promotes true conservative values like fighting [[Islam]] and converting the religion of heathens.
* ''Hearts of Iron 4'': This is a World War Two era strategy game that features very complex gameplay. The game was attacked by the [[CCP]] for it's accurate depiction of [[Tibet]], [[Manchuria]], and [[East Turkestan]] as independent countries before the Chinese invasions of each. The game's ''Man the Guns'' expansion was also heavily criticized for its accurate depiction of [[Democratic Socialism]] as a buzzword for [[communism]]. ''Hearts of Iron 4'' also features a positive depiction of [[Catholics]] and a negative depiction of [[Atheists]]. The game also recognizes Communism and Fascism as having the same inherent government form, [[Totalitarianism]]. ''Hearts of Iron 4'' was attacked by the leftist site [[Kotuku]] for allowing a player made modification that featured a positive depiction of [[Christianity]] and a negative depiction of [[Islamic Terrorism]].

==Mojang==
*''Minecraft'': [[Minecraft]] was created by a lone computer programmer, outside of any major studio (a [[best of the public]] approach to game development), and later sold to Microsoft for $1 Billion. The game could probably be best described as an electronic form of Lego but vastly more complex. Game play is very simple, the player is dropped into a randomly generated world and must mine resources and craft tools and other items. Despite the simplicity of play the game can be used to create extremely complex circuitry and other types of constructions. The game contains no violence (outside of occasionally battling cartoonish enemies during the night hours), no swearing or sex. The game is hugely popular and has a dedicated following proving games do not have to be violent to be popular. Minecraft also has an education pack which is used to teach children about science, history, biology and other subjects<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/class-resources/lessons/</ref>

==Rocksteady Studios==
*''Batman: Arkham'' series: In these games the player plays as Batman to defeat enemies like The Joker, Poison Ivy, Bane and other villains from the the Batman universe. The game stresses no violence and preferring players to use their wits to hide and stalk enemies rather than engaging in immediate violence. While you do need to defeat enemies physically in many circumstances Batman never kills anyone - preferring to knock enemies out and leave them to be captured by police. Also portrays capitalism in a positive light, due to Lucius Fox being a frequent ally in ''Arkham Knight'' and to a lesser extent ''Arkham City''.

==Debatable whether Conservative==
===Indie/Small Developers===
• Undertale: On one hand, it teaches the importance of core Christian values such as mercy and compassion by discouraging killing characters, and instead solving conflicts non-violently. On the other hand, it involves homosexual and bisexual relationships, some of which may involve the player character (who is 12 years of age) depending on what dialogue choices the player makes.
===Capcom===
*Resident Evil series: The games generally have a subtle anti-capitalist and anti-American agenda (with one of the protagonists in ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'', Carlos, being a communist rebel according to the game's Japanese version, and some versions of ''Resident Evil 5'' have a secret conversation between the game's protagonists, Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar, where the former denounces America due to it being capitalist.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA-aH1K_zBU</ref>). However, it also has a condemnation against social Darwinism and eugenics, as most of the main villains in the franchise tended to promote some form of eugenics as well as social Darwinism as their motives. In addition, one of the protagonists, Barry Burton, was implied in the English localization to be a member of the [[National Rifle Association]], and the games also to some extent featured pro-family messaging, as Barry Burton was shown to be very loyal to his family, and the character Claire Redfield is depicted as being loyal to her brother Chris, spending Resident Evil 2 trying to find him and in Code Veronica refuses to allow Albert Wesker to harm him. The games also showcase government corruption in a scarily realistic and negative light in the form of Albert Wesker (who was a former police officer in the first ''Resident Evil'') and Brian Irons (the police chief for the Raccoon City Police Department in ''Resident Evil 2''). Resident Evil 4 also has a condemnation against pagan religions in the form of the Los Illuminados (which is Spanish for "The Enlightened Ones", and may subtly condemn the Illuminati), and the game ''Umbrella Chronicles'' has a possible negative depiction of Communism, or at the very least Soviet-style communism, as one of the main antagonists of that game, Sergei Vladimir, is depicted as an unrepentant former Soviet soldier who in one of the in-game files is strongly implied to have ultimately desired the restoration of the Soviet state.
*''Dead Rising 2'' and ''Dead Rising 2: Off the Record'': Although it has largely the same plotline as in the first ''Dead Rising'', it also to some extent is pro-family, due to the main character trying to save his daughter from infection. In addition, unlike the first or third main entries to the series, the hidden antagonist is not a military person, but instead a former rapper and TV executive who orchestrated the entire outbreak to boost ratings as well as steal wealth, acting as a subtle condemntation to [[Hollywood values]].

===Electronic Arts===
*The Sims (and sequels): Promotes conservative values such as marriage, hard work, the raising of children, law and order, [[capitalism]], and private property ownership<ref>In the SimCity spinoff, the player is expected to build a city, which requires such.</ref>, but it also promotes other things that are anti-conservative, such as homosexual relationships and extramarital sexual relationships, and also has an implicit anti-military message due to there being negative aspects included with building military bases.<ref>In the SimCity spinoff, one option is a military base, but doing so comes with "higher crime" requiring increased police presence.</ref>. An afterlife exists in the game, but not in a Christian sense. The game was created by an [[atheist]].

===Frontier Developments===
*''Jurassic World Evolution'': A spiritual sequel to ''Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis'' from 2001, this game takes the player across the Muerto Archipelago - a chain of tropical islands off the coast of Costa Rica - as they build dinosaur parks for the public. In a way, it promotes capitalism, showing that the park cannot operate without money, requiring the player to build shops, complete contracts to earn rewards, and create fully-cloned dinosaurs to bring in more money and build up the parks. On the other hand, it also promotes the pro-cloning message from the films ''The Lost World: Jurassic Park'' and ''Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom'', though Ian Malcolm from the movies does warn the player about the consequences of creating dinosaurs. Three DLCS include "The Secrets of Dr. Wu", "Claire's Sanctuary", and "Return to Jurassic Park", as well as having different upgrades and new dinosaurs added with them. A sequel called ''Jurassic World Evolution 2'' was released in November 2021, taking place after the events of ''Fallen Kingdom''.
*''Jurassic World Evolution 2'': The 2021 sequel to ''Jurassic World Evolution''- which itself is a spiritual sequel to 2001's ''Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis'' - takes the player to different biomes across the United States of America as they build dinosaur parks for the public. It takes place after the film ''Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom'', which starts the age of dinosaurs living alongside mankind. Like its predecessor, it promotes capitalism, showing that the park cannot operate without money, requiring the player to build shops, complete contracts to earn rewards, and create fully-cloned dinosaurs to bring in more money and build up the parks. On the other hand, it also promotes the pro-cloning message from the films ''The Lost World: Jurassic Park'' and ''Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom'', though Ian Malcolm from the movies does warn the player about the consequences of creating dinosaurs.

===Koei Tecmo===
*''Dead or Alive 6'': The game features some left wing elements (presumably due to some bullying by the higher-ups such as Tom Lee and Yohei Shimbori), including having Tina imply at one point that one of her goals as governor was to implement big government policies in a conversation with Zack, and the new character Diego is implied to be a socialist due to his bitterly inferring the tournament only exists to "entertain rich people". However, some of the more conservative elements from the games was still retained such as the pro-family messaging (Ryu Hayabusa while sparring with Hayate assures him that his sister Kasumi was safe, referring to an ambush by MIST on her life earlier that Hayabusa stopped, Helena making clear that Kokoro's the only family she has left when the latter was about to leave over the revelation that the two are half-sisters, and Diego's concern for his implied terminally ill mother. In addition, the final battle of the game has Kasumi, Ayane, and Hayate confronting their revived murderous uncle (and in Ayane's case, illegitimate father), Raidou, with Ayane's involvement being implied to be due to wanting to avenge her newly-discovered paternal half-sister, Honoka, who was left in critical condition due to her as well as Ayane being forcibly used by NiCO to revive him.). In addition, the game also has a condemnation of infidelity, as one of the lore bits implied that Helena's and Kokoro's father's womanizing habits is ultimately part of the reason he got killed. There's also a statement against the [[Idea of Progress]] philosophy, as the character NiCO embodies this philosophy regarding her use of unethical experiments, and Helena after NiCO was revealed to have attempted to revive her murdered mother Maria calls her out on it, even explicitly stating that even if science were to find a way to revive the dead, something like that should not ever be embraced.
*''Dead or Alive Xtreme'' series: A beach vacation spinoff for the ''Dead or Alive'' series. The ''Xtreme'' games include some softcore elements such as a pole dancing minigame as well as girls being implied to change in front of the player in ''Xtreme 3'', and it does feature some gambling. One of the characters, Kanna, also is a Japanese Oni and resembles a demon. However, series creator Tomonobu Itagaki indicated his primary intent for the game was merely to have the characters enjoying a vacation, not necessarily to promote softcore elements. In addition, regarding the game ''Xtreme Venus Vacation'', although the character Tamaki is heavily implied to be bisexual as well as an alcoholic, her more girl-obsessed and lewd elements were not treated in a particularly positive light based on the other girls being wary of her when interacting with her as well as Helena, her closest acquaintance, admitting that was a frequent problem of Tamaki's. The game also has a condemnation of feminism as well, as the character Nagisa was shown to initially have distaste for the Owner partly via feminist rhetoric, though she gradually changes her views on the Owner during her character arc. Three of the characters in that game, Fiona (who is heavily implied to be a Princess from Europe, presumably Great Britain due to comments made by her regarding schools having morning and noon tea times as well as modeling a swimsuit after the Christmas Tree Fairy.), Sayuri (a Japanese nurse), and Koharu (a Japanese girl who aspires to become an innkeeper due to her family background) are also depicted in a traditionally feminine manner. The games also retain the more pro-family elements from the original to a certain extent, as ''Xtreme 2'' had Ayane arriving at the island while going after Kasumi, with the implication being that she wished to patch things up with her half-sister, and both Kasumi and Ayane as well as Helena and Kokoro were shown to get along very well (with it also being heavily implied that Kokoro wished to have a long chat with Helena regarding their half-sibling status in one episode), and part of Nagisa's reasons for participating in the festival was in part to help her sister Misaki. In addition, the concept of chivalry is promoted, as you lose bonding points if you peek too soon during the aforementioned clothes changing element or gifting the girls any lewd outfits, and the owner of the island a few times refuses to take advantage of several girls even when he had the upper hand (for instance, not taking advantage of a drunken Tamaki in one episode, and forfeiting a poker game despite having the winning hand in order to avoid forcing Monica to strip per the pre-established rules of the game in another episode). The game ''Xtreme Venus Vacation'' also has an implicit promotion of capitalism, as Misaki when describing the objective of the owner of the island explicitly states that he needs to turn the island into the ultimate beach resort. The title of one of the Christmas events is also one of the few instances to explicitly reference the point of Christmas being to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ due to it being titled "Dreams of Holy Night."

===Konami===
*''Metal Gear Solid''/''Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes'': Although the first game does have condemnation towards Cloning and genetic engineering, and also has (albeit unintentionally) a pro-life/anti-abortion message due to Liquid Snake, when describing the process of the Les Enfants Terribles' creation, in particular its use of abortion to encourage fetal growth, explicitly labeling it as murder (although in that case, he attributed the act of murder more to himself and his brother Solid Snake, both byproducts of the project, than to the people actually responsible for the Super Baby Method), as well as promoting the concept of redemption to some extent, and also paints terrorism in an appropriately bad light, it at the same time is rife with anti-Americanism among both heroes and villains (although obviously not to the same extent as in later entries) as well as pushing an anti-nuclear and anti-war agenda, both of which seemed to focus more on America doing so than other countries, in particular Russia and China (specifically, the character Nastasha Romanenko, a member of NEST, spent most of her time condemning America for using nuclear weapons or even using nuclear power at all, and giving very little, if any criticism towards Russia and China for their having nukes, despite the fact that the event that caused her to hold a strong hatred for nukes, Chernobyl, having originated from within the Soviet bloc).
**''Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance'': The game does have anti-American elements per the standard of the ''Metal Gear'' franchise, with the main villain being an American politician who intended to jumpstart a war to restore America, and Raiden and Courtney also give slight references to Occupy Wall Street and their 1% rhetoric. On the other hand, it also condemns far-left ideologies such as Communism, in particular the Khmer Rouge, as one of the villains, Monsoon, was a survivor of the Khmer Rouge's genocidal actions in Cambodia, with his more villainous and amoral nature being directly derived from that event, and it also condemns nihilism via Monsoon as well. It also has a slight promotion of Capitalism, as one of Raiden's allies, a former East German scientist by the name of Wilhelm Voigt, and better known as Doktor, at one point says "Ich Liebus Capitalismus", which translated to "I Love Capitalism."

===Radical Games===
*''The Simpsons Hit and Run'': Although there are some liberal themes, such as Marge's crusade against Bonestorm-an implied violent video game-being depicted in a negative light, some characters engaging in lawlessness in a similar manner to ''Grand Theft Auto'', and one of the later chapters for the game having the main antagonists supply the townspeople with ray guns as well as tainted cola in a way that could be interpreted as supporting gun control, it also had several conservative messages, namely pro-family, as two of the chapters dealt with Lisa and Marge trying to find Bart after he went missing and trying to find out the cause behind his addled behavior, and later attempting to stop the production of Buzz Cola due to its effects on Bart, respectively, the first chapter and most of the game features a condemnation towards mass surveillance due to the presence of surveillance vans and wasp cameras and their being treated in a clear negative light, especially in a matter that isn't essential to stopping a threat, and is also anti-Hollywood values due to the main antagonists, aliens by the name of Kang and Kodos, deliberately trying to cause a ruckus in Springfield, including the aforementioned distribution of ray guns and tainted Buzz Cola to cause a shootout and later reanimating the dead via Buzz Cola, plus using the wasp cameras and surveillance vans all in an attempt to boost ratings of their reality show "Foolish Earthlings," which as the title implies deals with depicting various people of Earth, in particular Springfield, doing various stupid actions. Also has a rarity in the franchise where nuclear power is actually depicted in a positive light due to it ultimately being the only thing that stopped Kang and Kodos's alien invasion. There is also a humorous condemnation towards gun-free school zones, as during the same level that Bart has to stop the distribution of ray guns to the populace at Squidport, Principal Skinner explicitly references the no-gun policy among students at Springfield Elementary when confiscating Bart's ray gun, despite Bart making clear he only needed the gun to supply evidence towards an evil plot.

===Activision===
*Call of Duty 2: Like most entries in the franchise, it ultimately promotes American values and the military, as well as the British during World War II as well. However, at least one of the main campaigns depicts the Soviets in a positive manner due to it focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad.
*Call of Duty World at War: Like Call of Duty 2, it promotes the American military, but also has a Soviet campaign. Unlike COD 2, though, it portrays the Russians more realistically as cruel, brutal and merciless towards the Nazis. It also depicts a Russian Commissar encouraging this brutality. This game is one of the few World War II games to depict the Pacific War against Japan and the first mission accurately portrays the Japanese cruelty towards POWs. The events are also historically inaccurate as the Marines are depicted taking Shuri Castle, which was done by the Army, not the Marines.

===Bethesda Software===
*''The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim'': Inspired by conservative novels such as ''Lord of the Rings'', ''Beowulf'', and ''The Chronicles of Narnia'', this game in the ''Elder Scrolls'' series tells about the player being prophesized as a "Dragonborn" (a being with the body of a mortal and the soul of a dragon) to do battle with the dark dragon Alduin and delay the end of the world. In the midst of the crisis is an ongoing civil war between the rebel Stormcloaks led by Ulfric Stormcloak and the Imperial Legion. Like the other games in the series, this game has conservative messages just like them. Such messages include redemption and striving to do good when the great white dragon Paarthurnax is revealed to have once been Alduin's second-in-command but has since tamed his more savage nature to be at peace with the mysterious Greybeards and other humans, asking "What is better: to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" Both sides in the civil war have valid reasons for their actions: The Legion that is stationed in Skyrim wants a united empire to stand against the high elves, and the Stormcloaks want Skyrim to be more independent from the empire, similar to the colonists from the [[American Revolution]]. That said, however, it also engages in a few liberal themes, including an option for same-sex "marriages" and a promotion of feminism (including a high-ranking female "legates", the game's equivalent of a colonel, with the females being given a more masculine design).
*''Fallout 4'': Part of the apocalyptic ''Fallout'' series, the player (a soldier for a male character, a lawyer for a female character) is cryogenically frozen, witnessing his/her infant son being kidnapped. They awaken two hundred years later in post-apocalyptic Boston, Massachusetts (called the Commonwealth) and embark on a journey to find their son, joined by new friends and various factions. The game portrays friendship and other virtues like courage well, as shown with the well-meaning but harsh Brotherhood of Steel. The Minutemen - initially led by Preston Garvey - are shown to be altruistic patriots, ready to defend other people and preserve freedom for the Commonwealth; they even have a motto saying "Freedom at a minute's notice". Family is also promoted in several ways: The player is searching for their son who is kidnapped as a baby, reporter Piper Wright and her sister Nat work together as a team in journalism, and MacCready wanders the Commonwealth in search of a cure for his sick son. The player even has the choices of doing good, like defending settlements from attack or giving money or supplies to the needy, and several companions (including Piper and synth detective Nick Valentine) will praise the player for their good choices. However, the game does condemn nuclear weapons; even a companion named Deacon believes this about weapons of any kind: "Guns don't solve problems, they just create more". Players can even choose to be involved in a homosexual relationship with companions of the same sex, and a minor character and a Miss Nanny robot fall in love and marry. Like having the choice to do good, the player can also choose to do harmful things like murder or stealing, which other companions (like Courser X6-88 and super mutant Strong) will commend them for. The DLC called "Nuka World" (taking place in a soda-based amusement park) has the option of leading a violent band of raiders on a mission to subdue the Commonwealth; this, however, is also up to the player, who can wipe out the raiders instead.

===Nintendo===
*''Metroid: Other M:'' Although largely part of the Metroid series and retaining some of its more conservative elements (namely, the promotion of parenthood and condemning the concept of playing god), the game was rather infamous for several criticisms it experienced in the game, namely the characterization of Adam Malkovich and his relationship with Samus due to it coming across more as promoting an abusive relationship (such as Adam shooting Samus in the back before sacrificing himself). The game, unlike in the Prime series, also depicts the military in a more negative manner, as a flashback had Samus being restrained from turning her back on Adam despite her intention being to save Ian, his brother, from death, as well as one of the more controversial elements of the game being the authorization element which at one point has Adam failing to actually authorize the Varia Suit to allow Samus to traverse through a superheated area despite it nearly killing her until a long while afterward, and also had as its main plot a conspiracy to weaponized Metroids at the order of the Federation military (as well as having someone within Samus's group attempt to assassinate each of the members in order to silence them to any potential discoveries to the conspiracy in question via the character The Deleter).
*''Animal Crossing: New Leaf:'' Though it does replace holidays [[Christmas]] and [[Easter]] with the more politically correct "Toy Day" and "Bunny Day" respectfully (largely due to Nintendo of America's insistence on not listing Christmas and Easter by those names due to it having a ban on religious references), as well as some 'environmentally friendly' Public Works Projects (the latter of which are optional), the main ideals of ''Animal Crossing'' shine through, mainly the ideals of friendship, responsibility (since in this game, you become the mayor) and innocence are treated with respect. Shows [[capitalism]] in a positive light in Tom Nook, a kind-hearted (now-wealthy) raccoon (tanuki in original Japanese) who has opened Nook's Homes, leaving his store to his budding salesmen nephews, Timmy and Tommy (though some villagers theorise that they are not Tom Nook's nephews, instead believing them to be orphans that he adopted). Also shows [[marriage]] and family in a positive light, in characters Reese and Cyrus, a pair of married alpacas who run the Re-Tail recycling/refurbishing shop, and the Able Sisters clothing store, run by hedgehog sisters Mabel, Sable and Labelle, the latter of which has returned home after a bad fight with oldest sister Sable prior to the original game but has since come home, and the turtle (kappa in Japan) Kapp'n, a motorboat driver, who since the previous game married long-time sweetheart Leilani and they have a daughter named Leila. The mayor's secretary, Isabelle, an eager and positive shi-tsu, is also the antithesis to a modern [[feminist]], as well Lottie, a very feminine and sweet-natured otter employee of Nook's Homes (only shows up after the Welcome Amiibo update, however) That being said, however, in the Valentine's Day events, Isabelle can be depicted as having a crush on the player character regardless of gender (though said player is not allowed to pursue a relationship with her, or any other animal character for that matter), as well as the character of the fashionista giraffe Gracie, who while female in most translations of the game, is a effeminate male named Grace in the original Japanese. In addition, due to the options to create your own outfits and paintings, at least one person had created and showcased a T-shirt modeled after [[Che Guevara]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141009074917/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/51860/features/thank-kk-its-friday/?page=2</ref>

===Pterodon/Illusion Software===
*''Vietcong 2'': Although like its predecessor, it ultimately portrays American involvement in Vietnam as a positive, and depicts the Vietcong in the main story as the bad guys, there is an additional mode that features the player playing as the Vietcong and them being portrayed in a more positive manner.

===Ubisoft===
*Assassins Creed 3: The Assassins help the American Revolution by killing the Templar leaders of the British. However, a DLC came out for the game that has you kill all of the [[Founding Fathers]].
*''Far Cry 5'': Set in the Montana countryside, a deputy is tasked with bringing a violent cult to justice with help from the locals. One of the characters helping the player is a Christian pastor named Jerome Jeffries, who encourages his fellow churchgoers to have faith and not give in to the cult. Richard "Dutch" Roosevelt, another supporting character who tasks the player of uniting the citizens of Hope County against the cult, has a distrust for big government. The game also occasionally pokes fun at liberals and the left-wing agenda, as well as painting the [[Second Amendment]] in a positive light through the locals arming themselves to fight the cult. However, the villainous cult is Christian (though they could be considered not true Christians due to doing the opposite of what Jesus Christ had taught), while the previous game villains were more politically neutral: a psychotic pirate, an atheistic dictator, and a sun-worshiping chieftain.

===Square-Enix===
*''Final Fantasy II:'' In initial releases for the game, the game had an undeniably pro-Christian element to the games, and also condemned Satanic worshippers and totalitarianism in the form of the game's main villain Emperor Mateus Palamecia, who explicitly goes to Hell when he dies and tries to take over the world with the powers he gained from Hell. However, the remakes starting with the GBA version added in a new mode called "Dawn of Souls" which has the killed party members fighting against the Emperor's light half who took over Heaven, which could be interpreted as an anti-Christian message.
*''Final Fantasy VI:'' Promotes parenthood due to Terra Branford becoming a mother figure for the Mobliz orphans late into the game, which also had her learning the concept of love, and also showcases the horrors of totalitarian ideologies in the form of the Gestahlian Empire, and also offers a condemnation of [[nihilism]] in the form of the game's main antagonist Kefka Palazzo (who is depicted in a similar manner to [[Joker (comics)|the Joker]] from the Batman franchise). However, Terra also makes a more relativistic remark when trying to refute Kefka regarding finding meanings in things.
*''Final Fantasy VII:'' Promotes the concept of redemption and condemns unethical science in the form of Professor Hojo as well as his creation Sephiroth (who ironically is voiced in the English versions by George Newbern, who portrayed [[Superman]]), but on the other hand, it also has a more anti-Capitalist view on things with Shin-Ra, the main antagonists, being a corporation, and is hinted to promote environmentalism due to the main protagonists being eco-terrorists.

===Rockstar North===
*''Bully:'' Despite coming from the same developers ultra-liberal series ''Grand Theft Auto'' and ''Midnight Club'', this game can be seen to show the dangers of high school cliques as well as bullies. However, the game's main protagonist, Jimmy Hopkins, can be quite a jerk himself and still gets involved in fights with bullies and high school cliques. The game has also been criticized by conservatives because it is possible for the player to engage the protagonist in homosexual relationships.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.neoseeker.com/news/6237-bully-under-spotlight-for-homosexual-content/|title=Bully Under Spotlight For "Homosexual" Content|author=Leo Chan|date=2006-10-24|accessdate=2019-03-08|work=Neoseeker|publisher=Neo Era Media, Inc.}}</ref>
*''Red Dead Redemption'': In the last days of the Old West in 1911, former outlaw John Marston is tasked by a corrupt government official to hunt down his former gang members (Bill Williamson, Javier Esquella, and Dutch Van der Linde) in exchange for getting his wife and son back. The game promotes the importance of family in the form of John trying to work hard to be with his family again, even trying to spend time with his son Jack and saving him from a [[brown bear]]; there is also traditional marriage being upheld, for John will refuse to sleep with prostitutes and remains loyal to his wife Abigail. It condemns government corruption through main villain Edgar Ross, who wants all of John's former gang destroyed to get all the glory for it, to the point where he has his army kill John in spite of promising to leave the latter alone once his job is done and is even rewarded for it. It also promotes doing good like donating to a nunnery, helping people (ranging from rescuing people from gangs or wild animals to just fetching items for them), and doing jobs for them; heroism is even portrayed positively, as legendary gunslinger Landon Ricketts singlehandedly keeps peace in Chuparosa while repelling its enemies. However, the player also has the option of doing bad things like murder, theft, and robbery. There is even a hint of [[bestiality]] when a minor character marries his horse Lucy, though the main character is rightfully flabbergasted at the reveal that the man's lost love is a horse.
*''Red Dead Redemption 2'': Set 12 years before the events of ''Red Dead Redemption'', this prequel game explores how the Dutch Van Der Linde gang had fallen, in the point of view of Arthur Morgan, one of Dutch's righthand men. Over the course of the game, the gang changes in so many ways that makes Arthur think over his past and future choices as well as question Dutch's increasingly reckless decisions. As the title of the two games suggests, it promotes redemption in the form of Arthur helping John Marston and his family escape the collapsing gang at the cost of his own life (whether from succumbing to tuberculosis or being murdered by main villain Micah Bell, which depends on whether the player has high or low honor). [[Hunting]] is portrayed positively while [[poaching]] is negatively shown, the latter showing half black/half [[Native American]] Charles Smith being angered at the sight of two poachers leaving intact [[bison]] carcasses to rot and killing one of the poachers. Like the previous game, the game shows doing good deeds, heroism, and family (whether it be with the Marston family or most of the Dutch Van Der Linde gang) in a good light. However, also like the first game, the player have a choice of doing bad things like murder, theft, and robbery, as well as the protagonist being in a gang of infamous bandits even if the player gets high honor. Dutch himself is portrayed as an early communist, believing in redistributing wealth as they steal from the rich and give to the poor, based on the [[Jacobin]] version of [[Robin Hood]] as portrayed by [[Joseph Ritson]]. Feminism is also promoted in a way by the character of the widow Sadie Adler, who insists of doing more work than helping with cooking; it's further shown when she later fights off and kills three men at once on her own in spite of a physical disadvantage.

===id Software===
*''Doom:'' The game casts satanic demons and monsters as the villains (although like most media, it depicts demons inaccurately). However, the game is controversial for its extreme violence and satanic imagery.

==Debatable Whether Great==
===Multiple Parties===
*''Home Alone'': A video game adaptation of the greatest conservative film of the same name, retaining many of its themes. However, the NES game has poor graphics and shallow gameplay.
*''Home Alone 2: Lost in New York'': A video game adaptation of the greatest conservative film of the same name, and retains many of its themes. However, it takes many liberties with the source material and has very flawed game design.

JoeJN:

The page appears to have been created a few weeks ago to troll Conservapedia. [https://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Hearts_of_Iron_IV&oldid=1786279 Here's] what it previously said before RobSmith removed the subversive bad-faith additions:
{{quotebox|...well-devloped conservative paths around the globe, and heroic conservative characters like George Wallace, Strom Thurmond or Barry Goldwater...}}

Wallace and Thurmond are supposedly "heroic conservatives"? Only an idiot or blatant troll would insert such garbage. I suspect it could've been added by Ace McWicked from RationalWiki, as Bongolian/Spud/Flandres/Knight Commander/Plutocow/Twodots are more sophisticated in their subversion and are harder to detect. I'm certain that the latter has several active socks on CP currently, though that's for another discussion another day. —[[User:Liberaltears|<code>'''LT'''</code>]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!]]''''' Tuesday, 15:31, August 10, 2021 (EDT)
:That's the problem with all the trolls you mention - they lack imagination. They're too easy to identify. They're as regular as ''Ex-Lax''. Like all leftwing communists, they have no sense of humour so it isn't even funny anymore. Their best contribs sit there like rotting apples on a fruit stand. Their rigid conformity to their dear fascist principles has turned them into faceless bots. If it wasn't for fascist principles, they'd have no principles at all.

Legion of Christ

2022-02-13T16:25:20Z

JoeJN:

The Legion of Christ, officially Legionaries of Christ, abbreviated LC, is a [[Catholic]] Religious Order. It's goal is to engage laypeople and it is known as fiercely loyal to the [[Pope]].

The Legion of Christ was founded as the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart and Our Lady of Sorrows by Fr. Marcel in 1941. Marcel was later discovered to be a serial abuser and was sacked from his position in 2008. Following that, the Legion went through a series of reforms, laicizing dozens of Marcel loyalists. The reform process finished in 2019, and while some insist that the Legion is still corrupt, those people are now mostly regulated to fringe corners of the internet.

In 2018, Br. Anthony Freeman LC, a Legionary religious who was noted for his skill in spreading the [[Gospel]] to [[Millennials]], died at age 29. He was declared a Servant of God, making him the first Legion of Christ member on the path to [[Sainthood]].

In 2022, the Legionaries ordained 37 new priests. This was widely shared on Catholic [[Reddit|subreddits]], where people pointed out that the [[Jesuits]], traditionally a very strong order, had only ordained 25.

The reform process finished in 2019, and while some insist that the Legion is still corrupt, those people are now mostly regulated to fringe corners of the internet.

In 2018, Br. Anthony Freeman LC, a Legionary religious who was noted for his skill in spreading the [[Gospel]] to [[Millennials]], died at age 29. He was declared a Servant of God, making him the first Legion of Christ member on the path to [[Sainthood]].

In 2022, the Legionaries ordained 37 new priests. This was widely shared on Catholic [[subreddits]], where people pointed out that the [[Jesuits]], traditionally a very strong order, had only ordained 25.

{{Anchor|Freedom Convoy}}

===Freedom Convoy===
{{See also|CCP virus in Canada}}
Canadian truckers in January 2021 began protesting a leftwing fascist mandate that required the production of vaccine passports before crossing the U.S.-Canadian border. Canadian truckers were reportedly 90% vaccinated, above the country’s 78% total, a key detail that was brazenly ignored by the [[liberal media]] in both countries determined to depict the protests as "anti-science" and “anti-vax” rather than “anti-mandate” and "pro-freedom" protests. When the Freedom Convoy descended upon Ottawa, Trudeau dismissed them in a speech reminiscent of the final days socialist [[dictator]] Nicolae Ceausescu:
{{quotebox-float|"The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa, who are holding unacceptable views that they are expressing, do not represent the views of Canadians…who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to ensure our rights, our freedoms, our values as a country."}}
A near-exact repeat of [[Hillary Clinton]]'s “basket of deplorables” speech, Trudeau’s description of “unacceptable views" instantly became a rallying cry,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmDkSQO5zeo&t=380s</ref> with people across the country lining the streets to cheer truckers while self-identifying as the “small fringe minority.” Everyone from high school kids to farmers and teachers and random marchers joined in as Trudeau’s own words were used to massively accelerate his troubles. Members of his party in parliament began criticizing Trudeau.

The head of a Trudeau-funded hate group posted a picture of an [[antisemitic]] flier on [[social media]] claiming it to have originated with the Freedom Convoy. Bernie Farber, who is listed as the chair of CAHN on the group’s website, which has received hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars from the Trudeau regime, posted a tweet of an antisemitic flier stating, “Taken by a friend in Ottawa at the Occupation. Apparently in plain sight." Records show CAHN received $268,400 Canadian dollars (USD $211,526) in 2020. It was quickly established that the picture of the flier was not from the Ottawa trucker Freedom Convoy protests – the same photo was from an unrelated event in [[Miami, Florida]], and first posted on [[Twitter]] on January 23, 2022.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/02/10/anti-hate-group-head-used-miami-anti-semitic-flyer-to-smear-truckers/</ref>

===Support for Bashar al-Assad===

Trudeau is a supporter of the socialist dictator [[Bashar al-Assad]] and his Iranian [[Islamist]] allies. He appointed Assad's "Man in Montreal" to an important government position.<ref>https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/why-did-the-trudeau-government-approve-bashar-assads-man-in-montreal/</ref> Trudeau has refused to help Canadians who were imprisoned by a communist pro-Assad militia, the [[PKK|YPG]].

(Trudeau's mother was notoriously unfaithful in her marriage and was friends with Castro around the time Trudeau was born; thus it is a common joke that Castro is Trudeau's real biological father.)

===China===
In 2013, when asked about which country he admires besides Canada, Trudeau was criticized after stating that he admires of [[China]]'s "basic dictatorship."<ref>http://torontosun.com/2013/11/08/trudeau-admires-chinas-basic-dictatorship/wcm/72d62ec4-e0f4-4720-bb18-d998f445630c</ref>

An 11-year-old girl reported that a man twice tried to cut off her [[hijab]] with scissors as she walked to school with her younger brother. Her story captured international attention and public condemnation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Toronto Mayor John Tory.

==Opposition to free speech and religious liberty==

In January 2018, Trudeau claimed that [[pro-life]] speech is not protected speech under Canadian law. When asked on where the Canadian government limits free speech, Trudeau mentioned abortion, stating that "an organization that has the explicit purpose of restricting women’s rights by removing rights to abortion, the right for women to control their own bodies, is not in line with where we are as a government and quite frankly where we are as a society."<ref>Richardson, Bradford (January 13, 2018).

When Trudeau tried to block Rebel News and other conservative media outlets from covering a televised English-language federal leaders' debate (which was also the only English-language debate that Trudeau chose to take part in) during the 2019 Canadian federal election campaign, using the flimsy and hypocritical claim that Rebel News was "actively involved in advocacy" as the excuse to block its participation (while allowing in liberal journalists who themselves actively advocate for the Liberals and other left-leaning parties), Rebel News and conservative news website True North went to the Supreme Court of Canada<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dpfPTU_0H4 We're BANNED from the debate, so we're going to COURT] at Rebel News YouTube channel</ref> and successfully overturned Trudeau's ban on the conservative news outlets covering the debate,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gTOHRO4LSQ We won!

When CBC reporter Rosemary Barton, commenting on her Twitter account in response to the SCoC's overturn of Trudeau's ban on conservative journalists covering Liberal and government events, said that "...just because someone says they are a journalist doesn’t make them so", she drew heavy criticism for it in response, with some responders posting a photo of Barton taking a selfie of herself with Trudeau, while others took Barton's tweet and turned it around on her, pointing out with it and the selfie with Trudeau that, by her own standard, she herself is not a "journalist", only a partisan hack for Trudeau.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RosieBarton/status/1182483598508744704 Rosemary Barton: "Journalism is a critical part of democracy.

==SNC–Lavalin scandal==
The SNC–Lavalin scandal, which was revealed in 2019, badly shook Trudeau's government and led to the resignation of several cabinet ministers. On August 14, 2019, the Canadian Ethics Commission found Trudeau had misused his position of authority. An [[extreme leftist]], Trudeau sent $1 million Canadian dollars to the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] after the release of the [[Chinese Communist global pandemic]]. The contribution was totally unnecessary given Canada's already existing [[trade deficit]] with the [[totalitarian]] regime.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulxCHfH7Jaw</ref>

==Promises==
Prior to being shut down, a non-partisan website called [https://www.trudeaumetre.ca/ ''TrudeauMetre''] tracked Trudeau's campaign promises, and their fulfillment or lack thereof. It recorded, as of October 2019, 129 achieved promises, 59 broken, 27 in progress, and 15 not yet begun. On February 11, 2017, there were numerous protests against Trudeau for a broken promise he made on electoral reform.<ref>https://globalnews.ca/news/3243620/protests-held-across-canada-over-justin-trudeaus-broken-electoral-reform-promise/</ref>

===Freedom Convoy===
{{See also|CCP virus in Canada}}
Canadian truckers in January 2021 began protesting a leftwing fascist mandate that required the production of vaccine passports before crossing the U.S.-Canadian border. Canadian truckers were reportedly 90% vaccinated, above the country’s 78% total, a key detail that was brazenly ignored by the [[liberal media]] in both countries determined to depict the protests as "anti-science" and “anti-vax” rather than “anti-mandate” and "pro-freedom" protests. When the Freedom Convoy descended upon Ottawa, Trudeau dismissed them in a speech reminiscent of the final days socialist [[dictator]] Nicolae Ceausescu:
{{quotebox-float|"The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa, who are holding unacceptable views that they are expressing, do not represent the views of Canadians…who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to ensure our rights, our freedoms, our values as a country."}}
A near-exact repeat of [[Hillary Clinton]]'s “basket of deplorables” speech, Trudeau’s description of “unacceptable views" instantly became a rallying cry,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmDkSQO5zeo&t=380s</ref> with people across the country lining the streets to cheer truckers while self-identifying as the “small fringe minority.” Everyone from high school kids to farmers and teachers and random marchers joined in as Trudeau’s own words were used to massively accelerate his troubles. Members of his party in parliament began criticizing Trudeau.

The head of a Trudeau-funded hate group posted a picture of an [[antisemitic]] flier on [[social media]] claiming it to have originated with the Freedom Convoy. Bernie Farber, who is listed as the chair of CAHN on the group’s website, which has received hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars from the Trudeau regime, posted a tweet of an antisemitic flier stating, “Taken by a friend in Ottawa at the Occupation. Apparently in plain sight." Records show CAHN received $268,400 Canadian dollars (USD $211,526) in 2020. It was quickly established that the picture of the flier was not from the Ottawa trucker Freedom Convoy protests – the same photo was from an unrelated event in [[Miami, Florida]], and first posted on [[Twitter]] on January 23, 2022.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/02/10/anti-hate-group-head-used-miami-anti-semitic-flyer-to-smear-truckers/</ref>

===Support for Bashar al-Assad===

Trudeau is a supporter of the socialist dictator [[Bashar al-Assad]] and his Iranian [[Islamist]] allies. He appointed Assad's "Man in Montreal" to an important government position.<ref>https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/why-did-the-trudeau-government-approve-bashar-assads-man-in-montreal/</ref> Trudeau has refused to help Canadians who were imprisoned by a communist pro-Assad militia, the [[YPG|PKK]].

===China===
In 2013, when asked about which country he admires besides Canada, Trudeau was criticized after stating that he admires of [[China]]'s "basic dictatorship."<ref>http://torontosun.com/2013/11/08/trudeau-admires-chinas-basic-dictatorship/wcm/72d62ec4-e0f4-4720-bb18-d998f445630c</ref>

===Immigration and hate crime hoaxes===
An 11-year-old girl reported that a man twice tried to cut off her [[hijab]] with scissors as she walked to school with her younger brother. Her story captured international attention and public condemnation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Toronto Mayor John Tory. Trudeau said, {{quotebox|"My heart goes out to the young girl who was attacked, seemingly for her [[religion]].

Prior to being shut down, a non-partisan website called [https://www.trudeaumetre.ca/ ''TrudeauMetre''] tracked Trudeau's campaign promises, and their fulfillment or lack thereof. It recorded, as of October 2019, 129 achieved promises, 59 broken, 27 in progress, and 15 not yet begun.

{{Anchor|Freedom Convoy}}

===Freedom Convoy===
{{See also|CCP virus in Canada}}
Canadian truckers in January 2021 began protesting a leftwing fascist mandate that required the production of vaccine passports before crossing the U.S.-Canadian border. Canadian truckers were reportedly 90% vaccinated, above the country’s 78% total, a key detail that was brazenly ignored by the [[liberal media]] in both countries determined to depict the protests as "anti-science" and “anti-vax” rather than “anti-mandate” and "pro-freedom" protests. When the Freedom Convoy descended upon Ottawa, Trudeau dismissed them in a speech reminiscent of the final days socialist [[dictator]] Nicolae Ceausescu:
{{quotebox-float|"The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa, who are holding unacceptable views that they are expressing, do not represent the views of Canadians…who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to ensure our rights, our freedoms, our values as a country."}}
A near-exact repeat of [[Hillary Clinton]]'s “basket of deplorables” speech, Trudeau’s description of “unacceptable views" instantly became a rallying cry,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmDkSQO5zeo&t=380s</ref> with people across the country lining the streets to cheer truckers while self-identifying as the “small fringe minority.” Everyone from high school kids to farmers and teachers and random marchers joined in as Trudeau’s own words were used to massively accelerate his troubles. Members of his party in parliament began criticizing Trudeau.

The head of a Trudeau-funded hate group posted a picture of an [[antisemitic]] flier on [[social media]] claiming it to have originated with the Freedom Convoy. Bernie Farber, who is listed as the chair of CAHN on the group’s website, which has received hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars from the Trudeau regime, posted a tweet of an antisemitic flier stating, “Taken by a friend in Ottawa at the Occupation. Apparently in plain sight." Records show CAHN received $268,400 Canadian dollars (USD $211,526) in 2020. It was quickly established that the picture of the flier was not from the Ottawa trucker Freedom Convoy protests – the same photo was from an unrelated event in [[Miami, Florida]], and first posted on [[Twitter]] on January 23, 2022.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/02/10/anti-hate-group-head-used-miami-anti-semitic-flyer-to-smear-truckers/</ref>

When CBC reporter Rosemary Barton, commenting on her Twitter account in response to the SCoC's overturn of Trudeau's ban on conservative journalists covering Liberal and government events, said that "...just because someone says they are a journalist doesn’t make them so", she drew heavy criticism for it in response, with some responders posting a photo of Barton taking a selfie of herself with Trudeau, while others took Barton's tweet and turned it around on her, pointing out with it and the selfie with Trudeau that, by her own standard, she herself is not a "journalist", only a partisan hack for Trudeau.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RosieBarton/status/1182483598508744704 Rosemary Barton: "Journalism is a critical part of democracy.

==SNC–Lavalin scandal==
The SNC–Lavalin scandal, which was revealed in 2019, badly shook Trudeau's government and led to the resignation of several cabinet ministers. On August 14, 2019, the Canadian Ethics Commission found Trudeau had misused his position of authority. An [[extreme leftist]], Trudeau sent $1 million Canadian dollars to the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] after the release of the [[Chinese Communist global pandemic]]. The contribution was totally unnecessary given Canada's already existing [[trade deficit]] with the [[totalitarian]] regime.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulxCHfH7Jaw</ref>

==Promises==
Prior to being shut down, a non-partisan website called [https://www.trudeaumetre.ca/ ''TrudeauMetre''] tracked Trudeau's campaign promises, and their fulfillment or lack thereof. It recorded, as of October 2019, 129 achieved promises, 59 broken, 27 in progress, and 15 not yet begun. On February 11, 2017, there were numerous protests against Trudeau for a broken promise he made on electoral reform.<ref>https://globalnews.ca/news/3243620/protests-held-across-canada-over-justin-trudeaus-broken-electoral-reform-promise/</ref>

Syrian democratic forces

2021-10-19T19:11:03Z

JoeJN:

The Syrian Democratic Forces are one of the main rebel coalitions in the [[Syrian Civil War]]. The SDF formed in 2015 to drive Islamists out of Syria. They are Anti-ISIS, but not necessarily Anti-Assad. They are the second most powerful army in Syria, after the Government. The SDF led the fight against [[ISIS]] and captured many of the Caliphate's major cities, including Raqqa. They are considered by many to be the most powerful force in the war. They run their territory under a civilian government, including a parliament and two elected co-presidents. The [[Free Syrian Army]] also approved many of it's units to fight under the command of the SDF to better combat the Islamic State. In 2021, it occupied a quarry and the 2KM area around said quarry previously controlled by Assad, signaling a more active policy in fighting him, or at least entering territory where his line collapses. The Syrian branch of the [[PKK]] was originally expected to be a powerbroker within the Democratic Forces, but they failed completely in the parliamentary elections. [[Antifa]], a terrorist group that operates primarily in North America and Western Europe considers the SDF to be on the frontlines of the global war on fascism, and sent a brigade to help them.

--HISTORY--

The Syrian Democratic Forces originated in the much smaller Euphrates Shield Operations Room, which was made up of several Free Syrian Army groups. The goal of the Euphrates Shield Operations Room was to secure Kobani and the surrounding areas from ISIS . The Operations Room was successful, and commanders realized that it could be expanded to secure all of Syria. Several Kurdish separatist groups were invited into the newly renamed "Syrian Democratic Forces", with the promise that an independent (or at least autonomous) Kurdish state would be formed should the SDF liberate all of Syria. The Syrian Democratic Forces, now greatly bolstered by reinforcements from both Syrian rebels and Kurdish separatists, began to liberate large swaths of Syrian territory from ISIS, including it's capitol, Raqqa. Following the defeat of ISIS, tensions were inflamed with Turkey and the FSA as Turkey deployed large amounts of troops into FSA territory, which SDF commanders viewed as an occupation. This began a series of military campaigns by Turkey against the SDF, and the lose of much SDF land.

== Want to upload a picture of the person for a new article I created ==

I would like to upload the picture at https://www.canadianatheists.ca/profile/randolf-richardson.png to the new article I created at https://www.conservapedia.com/Randolf_Richardson so that I can make it match the format of the article about David Silverman at https://www.conservapedia.com/David_Silverman (I want to add more to this article as I dig up more dirt about him because he was very rude about Jesus to one of my friends who was in tears, so his bad deeds needs to be exposed once I have evidence that can be checked and verified).

Amen. {{unsigned|Macy Rhume}}

:::Thank you DavidB4! Just curious though, how come there is extraneous space in the picture?

::::That's a good question. It sounds like a problem we would need to troubleshoot in the template code. You could try inserting other images just to test, and see if they have the same issue.

:::::I don't think it's the template code that's the problem. Because the image you uploaded had empty space on both the left and the right and there was more space on the left, it appears (on the [[Jenean Hampton|content page]] in the template) to be small and right of center. Do you suppose you can re-upload the image without the extraneous space? I was not initially aware that there was the empty space in the original file in the source linked.
:::::Also, out of topic, but is the image in public domain? It wasn't specified in the website, and it says "Official Portrait" and looks like it's most likely a government picture. In addition, the image was apparently used [https://www.wdrb.com/bevin-and-hampton---official-portraits-ky-gov-jpg/image_1e9418a4-8642-11e9-946a-0fca1d07d828.html here] and the file was attributed to ky.gov, which would be a government website.

::::::Oh wow. I should have noticed that blank space--thanks for pointing it out! I think I've fixed it. In regard to licensing, images made by the U.S. federal government are in the public domain. However, individual states and towns sometimes make copyright claims on their materials. Whether Kentucky does that I do not know, but without researching KY law, I didn't dare list it as PD. If you find out that they do release to the PD, feel free to update it.

:[[Beetroot]] is a near duplicate of [[Beet]], which already has an image. I don't know if we should merge these pages, or not. I know your page is speaking specifically about the root, rather than the plant overall. Additionally, beet greens are another form of food.

==Article: Patrick Connick==
The article won't come up; its says "Create the page "Patrick Connick" on this wiki!", but the page has already been created. Please check on this. [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] ([[User talk:BHathorn|talk]]) 15:42, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

:I'm not exactly sure what the issue is, but here's a speculation. Most of the time, when a CP page is created, the URL for it is just conservapedia.com/(article_title), with the spaces in the title replaced with underscores, non-alphanumerical symbols replaced with etc. etc. For instance, the URL for the CP page [[Democrat Party]] is conservapedia.com/Democrat_Party, the URL for the CP page [[Vladimir Putin]] is conservapedia.com/Vladimir_Putin, etc. However, for the Patrick Connick content page, the URL is conservapedia.com/Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B, not conservapedia.com/Patrick_Connick. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 15:58, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::Something else interesting: I entered "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" into the search, but the article did not pop up, and no results popped up either. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 16:02, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

Correct, the article name was literally: "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B". This can happen when you copy-and-paste text. There are special, invisible characters on some pages which will be unintentionally copied along with the text you are trying to get (in this case, the name "Patrick Connick"). They cannot show as invisible in a URL though, so they are encoded with "%" and the two-digit character ID. In this case, there were 6 special characters. I have removed these special characters from the page name, so it should work correctly now. For best results in the future, try to type in the text manually, rather than copying it. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 16:47, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

:If the article name was "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B", then how come no results show up when I enter it into the search bar? --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 17:02, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::Technically, the article name contains the special characters themselves, not the encoded version of them. These are not [https://perishablepress.com/url-character-codes/ common special characters] I can look up easily, but I assume they are blank characters. So if you use a [https://www.url-encode-decode.com/ URI decoder], the decoded output of "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" will appear to be simply "Patrick_Connick". However, if you copy the output from that decoding into the CP search box, it will take you to the bad article name (which is now a redirect to the correct one). These characters are invisible, and the only way we can see them in this case is when they are encoded into the URL. If you want to find the page with this bad name, you need to search for the article name with those actual special characters after it, since the wiki software does not do URI encoding. I was trying to keep it simple, though, which is why I generalized by saying that the page name is "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 18:18, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

:::Okay, thank you DavidB4! Unfortunately, I'm not an expert on the topic and the way such works, but your explanation does kind of help explain it. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 18:25, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::::You're welcome...I probably didn't do a great job explaining it, but web browsers use what is called "URI encoding," sometimes called "percent encoding".

Alawite

2021-09-26T20:47:09Z

JoeJN:

'''Alawites''' are a [[Islam]]ic religious group in the Middle East. The movement was founded in [[Iraq]] and belongs to the [[Shiite]] spectrum. Alawites were often confused with the [[Alevi]]s.

The [[Syrian]] elite is made up of Alawites. When the [[Syrian War]] broke out, most Alawites sided with the dictatorship against the [[populist]], mostly Arab rebels. The Free Alawite Brigade of the [[Free Syrian Army]] was a notable exception.

Around 2020, many Alawites began to reconsider their stance to the regime, as they were displaced in their status as National elite by Russian and Persian military advisors.

Free Syrian Army

2021-09-25T10:35:50Z

JoeJN:

[[File:Flag of Syria 2011, observed.svg.png|thumb|Flag used by the Free Syrian Army]]
The '''Free Syrian Army''' (FSA) is the armed part of Syrian opposition that fights in the [[Syrian Civil War]]. It fights the Syrian Army, the Kurds and the Islamic State. Its colonel was Riad al-Asaad before he defected to the Syrian Salvation Government in 2017. The current commander in chief is Salim Idris. The FSA was founded on July 29, 2011 by seven officers.<ref>http://www.joshualandis.com/blog/free-syrian-army-established-to-fight-the-syrian-army/</ref>
The bulk of the FSA is made up of Sunnis, including Islamists, but the official government body is at least nominally pro-religious freedom. Many Islamists even left the FSA and joined Al-Qaeda affiliate Jahbat al-Nusra, and the Islamic State, when the groups came into open conflict..<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/may/08/free-syrian-army-rebels-defect-islamist-group</ref>

==Foreign Involvement==
Despite the name, many fighters in the FSA are not Syrian. An American convert to Islam and former U.S. armed forces member Eric Harroun fought with the FSA.He started appearing in YouTube videos in late 2012 with other fighters.He came back to the U.S. in 2013 and later died of a drug overdose in 2014.<ref>https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/eric-harroun-us-army-vet-fought-syria-died/story?id=23273218</ref>

==Controversy==
It was often criticized for its Islamist fighters, who persecute [[Christians in Syria]]. But it attacked also the [[Shia|Shiite]] village Hatla and killed 60 fighters and civilians.<ref>http://cnsnews.com/news/article/syrian-extremist-rebels-raid-shiite-village</ref> The [[United Nations]] reported that child soldiers are fighting with the Free Syrian Army, though not as many as were fighting in the Psudo-Communist YPG, an enemy of the FSA.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/26/us-syria-un-idUSBRE82P0W220120326</ref> The Free Syrian Army was dominated by the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], worked with [[Al-Qaeda]] and was trained by [[Hamas]].<ref>http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/hamas-terrorists-now-training-free-syrian-army-terrorists/</ref>. After the ISIS invasion of Syria, the FSA split into multiple factions. AN Islamism faction, which would eventually break away to form the Syrian Salvation Government, (SAA) and a moderate, Pro-USA, Pro-democracy faction, which was funded by the United States Government and NATO. When [[Donald Trump]] made the decision to cease an [[Obama Era]] program to fund Islamists and Kurdish Communists, he continued to aid the FSA, recognizing the change in the movement that had occurred since the split with the Islamists. Since most of the front line against Assad is dominated by Kurds and Islamists, the Free Army mainly aids NATO in combating the communist YPG and Islamist HTS on the Turkish border, as well as aiding the US coalition pacify ISIS at Al Tanf, where a Rebel base helps US troops enter from Jorden to fight ISIS. The FSA units stationed at al-tanf also engage in semi regular fighting with Hezbollah and the Baathists

== Order of Battle==

The following is the basic structure of the Free Syrian Army. Note that other groups may call themselves FSA, but if they don’t have ties to the National Opposition Coalition, they are not here.

Distributism

2021-08-30T00:18:32Z

JoeJN:

'''Distributism''' is an [[economic]] [[philosophy]], developed especially by two English [[Catholic]] writers, [[G.K. Chesterton]] and [[Hilaire Belloc]]. It advocates a society of widely distributed [[private property]]. It opposes both of the major streams modern economic thought, [[collectivist]] ([[communism]], [[socialism]]) and individualist (lassiez-faire capitalism). It advocates that property, in particular productive property, be neither held solely by the state, nor concentrated in the hands a few wealthy [[capitalist]]s and [[corporation]]s, but be rather in the hands of individual men and women, and families.

One holding such position does not necessarily advocate a policy of [[confiscation]] to attain such a society. Part of achieving it may well be simply taking away the perks the government gives to big business.

To a [[capitalist]] objection that such an ideal is contrary to free competition a Distributist might reply that competition within a well regulated framework is a good thing. But if competition is left completely unregulated a few individuals may gain the upper hand, and gain such economic power as to keep other players off the field, and so, in the end, competition must not be allowed completely free reign if only in order that healthy competition may be maintained.

Notable distributists include Dorothy Day, Pope Leo XIII, G. K. Chesterton, and Heuy Long.

Subsidiarity

2021-08-30T00:15:40Z

JoeJN:

The moral principle of '''subsidiarity''' requires decentralizing [[authority]] to the most local level.

This principle "implies decreasing the role of government and employers in health care when lower order groups can better serve individuals and families," which [[ObamaCare]] fails to do.<ref>[http://observer.rockforddiocese.org/Columnists/BishopThomasGDoran/BishopDoran2009columns/August72009/tabid/2259/Default.aspx Bishop Thomas G. Doran - Observer column, August 7, 2009 (observer.rockforddiocese.org)]</ref>

Subsidiarity is often supported by proponents of [[limited government]] and [[self-governance]], as well as many [[nationalist]]s.

Subsidiarity is one of the 12 points of Social Doctrine in [[Catholicism]], and the Catholic Worker Movement is an example of successful, voluntary subsidiarity which lifted many out of poverty without expanding the role of [[Big Government]].

JoeJN: created page

Abu TOW is a [[Free Syrian Army]] member widely considered a war hero for his skill and precision in operating TOW missiles. He has over 140 confirmed kills. Besides his skill on the battlefield, he is also known for his hatred of [[Al-Qaeda]] and other [[Jihadist]] factions, regularly criticizing their implementation of [[Sharia]] in northern Syria. He was eventually arrested by warlord [[Abu Muhammad al-Golani]] (widely believed to have links to al-Qaedia) for being an [[apostate]]. He was later released following negotiations with the FSA. He is currently stationed in [[Aleppo]] where he is fighting against the [[Obama war crimes|YPG]], an [[Obama]] funded stalinist group with ties to terrorist organizations such as [[Antifa]] and the [[PKK]]. Due to his skill in battle, regime troops often flee when it is rumored he will be participating. Al-Qaeda has attempted to kill him many times. He is stationed with the Sham Legion.

Not to be confused with [[Integralism]].

An '''integral''' is a mathematical construction used in [[calculus]] to represent the area of a region in a plane bounded by the graph of a [[function]] in one [[real]] variable. [[Definite integral]]s use the following notation:

:<math>\int_a^b f(x)dx</math>

where ''a'' and ''b'' represent the lower and upper bounds of the [[interval]] being integrated over, ''f(x)'' represents the function being integrated (the '''integrand'''), and ''dx'' represents a dummy variable given various definitions, depending on the context of the integral.

[[Image:Definiteintegralnv7.gif|thumb|A definite integral.]]

[[Indefinite integral]]s use the notation
:<math>\int f(x) dx </math>

==Integration==
===Definition===
If <math> f</math> is a function of bounded variation, then the [[Riemann integral]] of <math> f</math> is defined as the limit of a [[Riemann sum]]:
:<math>\int\limits_{x_1}^{x_N} f(x) dx = \lim_{dx\to 0} \sum_{i=1}^N f(x_i)*dx</math>.

The fact that <math> f </math> is of bounded variation implies that the Riemann sum above converges and is independent of the choices of <math>x_1,\dots,x_N</math>. For integration of measurable functions which may not have bounded variation, the [[Lebesgue integral]] must be used. It is easy to see that <math>\int\limits_a^b f(x) dx</math> is the area under the curve f(x) between the vertical line x=a and the vertical line x=b. <tt>a</tt> and <tt>b</tt> are called the ''limits'' of the integral, and <tt>f(x)</tt> is called the ''integrand''. This type of integral is referred to as a ''definite integral'', or an integral between definite limits.

Indefinite integrals are related to definite integrals by the second part of the [[Fundamental Theorem of Calculus]].

===Applications===
The first part of the [[Fundamental Theorem of Calculus]] states that integration is the reverse function of [[Derivative (calculus)|differentiation]]. Thus, if <math>\int f(x) dx = g(x)</math>, then <math>\frac{d}{dx}g(x) = f(x)</math>.

Note that, because the derivative of any constant function is 0, <math>\frac{d}{dx}x^2+2 = \frac{d}{dx}x^2+3 = \frac{d}{dx}x^2 = 2x</math>. Therefore, <math>\int 2x dx</math> does not simply equal x2, but rather x2 + C for any constant real number C. The above-mentioned functions are the ''family of antiderivatives'' for 2x.

The concept of integration can be extended to functions in more than one real variable, as well as functions defined over the [[complex numbers]].

Integration has many physical applications. The indefinite integral of an [[acceleration]] function with respect to time gives the [[velocity]] function defined to within a constant, while the definite integral of an acceleration function with respect to time gives the change in velocity between the upper and lower limits of integration. Likewise, the indefinite integral of a time function of velocity with respect to time gives the position function defined to within a constant, and the definite integral of this velocity function will give the change in position between the two limits of integration.

=== Methods of Integration ===
{{main|Methods of integration}}
There are many different ways to integrate functions. Sometimes, when it is impossible to directly integrate a function, an approximation is used, such as the Riemann integral. Or, there may be a process to integrate the function using a rule, such as with [[Integration by parts]].

==Types of Integrals==

There are several types of integrals. [[Definite integral]]s are integrals that are evaluated over limits of integration. [[Indefinite integral]]s are not evaluated over limits of integration. Evaluating an indefinite integral yields the antiderivative of the integrand plus a constant of integration.

A third type - an improper integral - is an integral in which one of the limits of integration is infinity. Evaluating an improper integral requires taking the limit of the definite integral as the appropriate limit of integration approaches infinity.

A fourth type of integral is known as the Lebesgue integral. The Lebesgue integral is a generalization of the Riemann integral that allows traditionally and non-integrable functions such as the indicator function on the rational numbers to be integrated.
==Properties of integrals==

Integration has the following properties<ref>[http://www.sosmath.com/calculus/integ/integ02/integ02.html Properties of Integrals]</ref>

<h3>Additive Distribution</h3>
If an integral contains two functions added together, it may be rewritten as two separate integrals, each containing one function.
:<math>\int_{a}^{b}(f(x)+g(x))dx=\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx+\int_{a}^{b}g(x)dx</math>

<h3>Constant Multiplicative Distribution</h3>
If an integral contains a function multiplied by a constant, it may be rewritten as the constant times the integral of the function.
:<math>\int_{a}^{b}cf(x)dx=c\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx</math>

<h3>Area</h3>
Any integral that contains the same upper and lower bounds is equal to zero.
:<math>\int_{a}^{a}f(x)dx=0</math>

<h3>Separation</h3>
An integral may be rewritten as the sum of two integrals with adjacent bounds.
:<math>\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx=\int_{a}^{c}f(x)dx+\int_{c}^{b}f(x)dx</math>, <math>c\in(a,b)</math>

<h3>Additive Inversion</h3>
Any integral is equal to the additive inverse of the same integral with reversed upper and lower bounds.
:<math>\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx=-\int_{b}^{a}f(x)dx</math>

==Antiderivative vs Integration==
There are important differences between the anti-derivative and integration. An anti-derivative of a function <math>f(x)</math> is a function <math>F(x)</math> such that,

:<math>\frac{d}{dx}F(x)=f(x)</math>

The integral of a function can be evaluated using its antiderivative,

:<math>\int_a^b f(x)dx=F(b)-F(a)</math>

This works for the kind of functions encountered in late high school and early university mathematics. It is, however, an incomplete method. For example, one cannot write the anti-derivative of <math>e^{x^{2}}</math> in terms of familiar functions (such as [[trigonometric function]]s, [[exponential]]s, and [[logarithm]]s) and function operations.

==Riemann integral==
{{main|Riemann Integral}}
As a geometric interpretation of the integral of the [[area]] under a curve, the Riemann integral consists of dividing the area under the curve of the function into slices. The [[domain]] of the function is partioned into N segments of width <math>\frac{b-a}{N}</math> The height of the segment is dependent on which side of the rectangle is taken. The lower sum takes the lower side of the rectangle, the upper sum the higher side of the rectangle. In the [[limit]] of <math>N\rightarrow\infty</math> these two [[series (mathematics)|series]] become the integral. If they approach the same value then the integral exists, otherwise it is undefined.

===Simpson's Rule===
{{Main|Simpson's rule}}
'''Simpson's Rule''' is an extension of the Riemann integral. Instead of using shapes such as rectangles or trapezoids, Simpson's Rule allows for the use of parabolas or other higher order polynomials to approximate integrals.

==Multiple integrals==
[[Image:DoubleIntegral.png|right|thumb|200px|A double integral gives the volume under a function over a given area - here, the area under the function (at top) within a square.]]

Multiple integrals are integrals extended to higher dimensions. Just like a definite integral gives the area under a 2-dimensional function, a double integral gives the volume under a three-dimensional function, and a triple integral gives the four-dimensional volume under a four-dimensional function. An ordinary integral is integrated over a single variable, such as x; similarly, a double integral is integrated over a two-dimensional area, usually written A; and a triple integral is integrated over a three-dimensional volume, usually written V.
:A double integral: <math>\iint\limits_D f(x,y) dA</math>
:A triple integral: <math>\iiint\limits_V f(x,y,z) dV</math>

[[Fubini's Theorem]] states that, for double integrals,
:<math>\iint\limits_D f(x,y) dA = \int\limits_{y_0}^{y_N} \int\limits_{x_0}^{x_N} f(x,y) dx dy</math>
and for triple integrals,
:<math>\iiint\limits_V f(x,y,z) dV = \int\limits_{z_0}^{z_N} \int\limits_{y_0}^{y_N} \int\limits_{x_0}^{x_N} f(x,y) dx dy dz</math>

These functions can be integrated with respect to the variables x, y, and z in any order. For example, the double integral above is also equivalent to <math>\int\limits_{x_0}^{x_N} \int\limits_{y_0}^{y_N} f(x,y) dy dx</math>.

==Lebesgue Integral==
The Lebesgue integral is usually introduced in late university or early postgraduate mathematics. It is naively described as rotating the Reimann integral, in that it is the range instead of the domain that is partitioned. An understanding of [[measure theory]] is required to understand this technique.

The Lebesgue integral is defined for every function for which the Riemann integral is defined, as well as for an even larger class of functions: this possibility of integrating functions which are not Riemann integrable is a large part of the motivation for the Lebesgue theory. A typical example of a function which is Lebesgue integrable but not Riemann integrable is the [[characteristic function]] of the [[rational number|rationals]], <math>\chi_{\mathbb Q}</math>, defined by
::<math>\chi_{\mathbb Q}(x) =
\begin{cases}
1 & \mbox{if } x \in \mathbb{Q}, \\
0 & \mbox{if } x \notin \mathbb{Q}
\end{cases}</math>.
Because the rationals are only countable, this function is zero "almost everywhere": there are far more irrationals than rationals, and the function is <math>0</math> at all of these. Thus we would expect that
::<math>\int_0^1 \chi_{\mathbb Q}(x) \, dx = 0</math>
Unfortunately, this function has so many discontinuities that its Riemann integral is not defined. However, if we use the Lebesgue integral instead, the function is integrable as hoped, and has the expected value <math>0</math>.

Integralism

2021-07-05T22:50:14Z

JoeJN:

Integralism is an ideology which professes that nation-states have a duty to recognize the [[Catholic Church]] as sovereign and to promote policies in line with Church teachings. Integralists view [[Liberalism]] and [[Capitalism]] as working together to destroy western civilization by promoting the [[homosexual agenda]] and eroding support for the Church, and make a theological argument that Liberalism is in fact sinful. It is often associated with [[Distributism]]. Famous integralists include [[Jose Antonio Primo de Revere]], [[Pope Pius X]], and [[Paul Salgado]]. Criticism of Integralism generally involves allegations of [[Fascism]] and Catholic [[Sharia]], something which most integralists deny. Falangism and National Syndicalism are subsets of integralism that place importance on the organization of trade unions.

Notable integralist groups include the French Action Françoise, the Polish National Radical Camp, the Lebanese Phalanges, the Bolivian Socialist Falange, the Brazilian Integralist Action the Spanish Falangists, the Spanish Movimiento Falangista de España, and the Spanish Falange Authentica.

The Empire of Vietnam was the name of the fascist government which controlled Vietnam in 1945, after a Japanese backed Coup de etat against the rump government of [[Vichy France]] which still controlled the region. It is notable for having unified the traditionally divided [[North Vietnam]] and [[South Vietnam]], though this would not last, as following the Empire's surrender, it would be split between an insurgent controlled North and a French controlled South. Much of the Vietnamese Imperial Army would be integrated into the Viet Mien to continue the battle for independence, however, the Emperor, Bao Dai, would go on to act as a colonial governor who was in league with the French

[[File:Reddit logo and wordmark.svg.png|thumbnail|Reddit's trademark]]
'''Reddit''' is a [[social media]] website. Their users submit content and vote submissions "up" or "down" to determine their position on the pages of the site. These votes give a user 'Karma', one for links and one for comments. The best content would reach the front page, hence the slogan "the front page of the internet." Reddit was a defining representation of democratization of culture and promoting the free flow of knowledge across the net. As the site grew and new CEOs took over, free speech became a casualty. Content and groups have been deleted by corporate management, this has generated a loud backlash. The [[Chinese]] company Tencent has a 10% stake in the company, and this results in anything mentioning the [[Tiananmen Square massacre]] or rightfully blaming China for [[COVID-19]] being banned, and allows racist subreddits such as r/Sino to thrive.

Unlike other social media sites, the user page consists largely of previous posts and comments, no detailed user information, no avatar, no real names requirement, no friends list, no bio.

Nearly all social media sites are created/owned by [[liberal]]s and Reddit is no different. Unlike [[Twitter]] where there is a large [[conservative]] user population, the exact opposite can be said of Reddit. While there is a small conservative following, their posts are downvoted by liberals.

In an interview with the New Yorker, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman admitted their ability to manipulate public opinion: “I’m confident that Reddit could sway elections,” Huffman told reporter Andrew Marantz, lamenting the 2016 election of Donald Trump. “We wouldn’t do it, of course. And I don’t know how many times we could get away with it. But, if we really wanted to, I’m sure Reddit could have swayed at least this election, this once.”<ref>https://bgr.com/2018/03/12/reddit-election-interference-steve-huffman-interview/</ref>

==Subreddits==
Reddit is organized into "subreddits", each for a subject or area of interest, where users submit their content. There are currently 50 default subreddits which automatically appear on the front page, but registered users can customize which subreddits they subscribe to and therefore which appear on their personal front page.

[[Reddit atheism]] subreddit is one of the largest, most active communities of [[atheist]]s on the internet. In 2013, it was removed from the default subreddit list for not being up to standards of the site.<ref>http://www.redditblog.com/2013/07/new-default-subreddits-omgomgomg.html</ref>

The website is awash in NSFW "Not safe for work" content. A quick search for subreddits of 'Pics' turns up group after group of porn, deviant fetishes, and nudity. So much so, younger people should not become a registered user.

==Gaming the system==
Reddit is hopelessly gamed. Rules are in place to prevent overzealous moderators and vote fixing but liberals easily circumvent this. Conservatives are subject to 'Downvote brigades'. This team effort leads to content not appearing popular. r/Politics subreddit is an example faking non-bias. Only liberal news content is allowed and removal of conservative content is the standard operating procedure.

During 2009, it was believed that the infamous [[Digg Patriots]] were actively engaging in censorship on the website by collectively banning liberal users and hiding liberal posts while promoting conservative posters. These actions were revealed in 2010, after a year long investigation leading to most of these users being banned from the service.

In August 2020 Reddit shut down in mid-livestream a broadcast by [[Bill Binney]]<ref>https://twitter.com/Burke4Senate/status/1298318463610560512</ref> related to the [[fake news]] allegation of Russian hacking of the [[DNC]] during the [[2016 presidential election]].<ref>https://twitter.com/StatusCoup/status/1135541638711906304</ref><ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/reddit-shuts-bill-binney-provides-evidence-refuting-russia-collusion-sham/</ref>

==Conservative subreddits==
Despite the overwhelming liberal bias on Reddit, there are a small number of subreddits a with conservative populations; such as r/Conservative and r/NoNewNormal.

However, many conservative subreddits have been censored by Reddit. r/pizzagate, was banned<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-23/reddit-bans-pizzagate-we-dont-want-witchhunts-our-site</ref> as well as r/The_Donald being unfairly banned for being "anti-police" after a [[Media_Matters_for_America|Media Matters]] hit piece was released. Recently, in 2020, r/Wuhan_Flu was quarantined, within 3 days of its creation. <ref>https://www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump/pro-trump-subreddit-full-calls-violence-support-oregon-republicans</ref><ref>https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/06/26/reddit-censors-the_donald-community-of-750000-trump-supporters/</ref><ref>https://reclaimthenet.org/the-donald-subreddit-quarantined/</ref><ref>http://archive.is/u61WC</ref>

==Capitalist subreddits==
Reddit is unique among social media conglomerates for the active community of pro-capitalist users who populate many subreddits such as r/anticomaction, r/anarcho_capitalism, r/greatmanchuria, and r/volunteerist_memes.

:He inveighed against the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, the home of Islam’s holiest sites. He spoke of the suffering of the Iraqi people as a result of sanctions imposed after the Gulf War, and he protested U.S. support of Israel.<ref>9/11 Commission Report [http://www.gpoaccess.gov/911/pdf/sec2.pdf ''The Foundation of the New Terrorism'']</ref>

Saddam had taken advantage of corruption in both the [[United Nations]] Secretariat and [[Security Council]] to revive the Iraqi economy after the 1991 [[Gulf War]] through the [[Oil for Food]] program, nevertheless few of the intended beneficiaries of these alleged UN humanitarian efforts saw the intended relief. Meanwhile, Saddam kept intact the "intellectual capital" or "know-how" to revive [[weapons of mass destruction]] (WMD) programs which were credited with ensuring the survival of the Ba'athist regime in both the 1980-1988 War with Iran, and preventing a US overthrow of the regime in 1991. As the 90s progressed and the millennium changed, Saddam's top priority was ending the sanctions, and then a full resumption of operational WMD programs.<ref>[https://www.cia.gov/cia/reports/iraq_wmd_2004/Comp_Report_Key_Findings.pdf Regime Strategic Intent], Duelfer Report, 2004.</ref>

(In Spanish).</ref> For 12 years, the international community gave Saddam chance after chance, Saddam defied it all including WMD declarations. Dozens of [[UN]] resolutions and mandated sanctions failed to persuade Saddam's grip on power. In 1998, the course for present day Iraq began in earnest. President Clinton signed into law H.R. 4655, the Iraq Liberation Act. This act declares that it should be the policy of the [[United States]] to seek to remove the Saddam Hussein regime from power in Iraq and to replace it with a democratic government.

==Arguments For Regime Change==

The concern which has led to this front on the War on Terror was summarized both by Andrew Roberts of Prager University in this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2tbpUqNwRU and by Raymond S. Kraft in his "Historical Review of the Iraq Situation" <ref>http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2006/03/historical_revi.html</ref> Mr. Kraft states, quote: "'''there is a very dangerous minority in Islam that either has, or wants and may soon have, the ability to deliver small nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons almost anywhere in the world, unless they are prevented from doing so'''. France, Germany, and Russia, have been selling them weapons technology as recently as 2002, as have North Korea, Syria, and Pakistan. These weapons were paid for with billions of dollars that Saddam Hussein skimmed from the "Oil For Food" program administered by the UN with the complicity of Kofi Annan and his son.

The militant Muslim Jihadists believe that a radically conservative form of Wahhabi Islam, should own and control the Middle East first, then Europe, then the world; and that all who do not bow to Allah should be killed, enslaved, or subjugated. They want to finish the Holocaust, destroy Israel and purge the world of Jews. This is what they say.

There is also '''a civil war raging in the Middle East''' - for the most part not a hot war, but a war of ideas. Islam is having its Inquisition and its Reformation today, but it is not yet known which will win - the Inquisition, or the Reformation. If the Inquisition wins, then the Wahhabis, the Jihadis, will control the Middle East and the OPEC oil. The US, European, and Asian economies, the techno-industrial economies, will be at the mercy of OPEC - not an OPEC dominated by the well-educated and rational Saudis of today, but an OPEC dominated by the Jihadis.

If the Reformation movement wins, that is, the moderate Muslims who believe that Islam can respect and tolerate other religions and live in peace with the rest of the world, and move out of the 10th century into the 21st, then the troubles in the Middle East will eventually fade away. A moderate and prosperous Middle East will emerge." (end of quote)

What the West decided to do was help the Reformation side win. To do that the West had to fight the Inquisition, i.e., the Wahhabi movement, Al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorist movements. The battle had to happen somewhere, and since the West could not fight everywhere at once, '''the West chose to create a focal point for the battle, in Iraq'''. Mr Kraft went on to summarize what the West did and is doing which is important in Iraq, quote:

(1)'''We deposed Saddam Hussein'''. Although Saddam Hussein was not directly involved in 9/11, it is not disputed that Saddam had been actively supporting certain terrorist groups for decades. Saddam was a mass-murdering totalitarian dictator responsible for the deaths more than one million Iraqis and arguably for the as many as 400,000 Iraqis and Iranians who died in the [[Iran-Iraq War]].

(2) '''We created a battle, a confrontation, a flash point, with Islamic terrorism in Iraq'''. This has focused the battle. The ones killed there won't have to be killed here, or somewhere else. We have a good shot at creating a democratic, peaceful Iraq, which will be a catalyst for democratic change in the rest of the Middle East, and an outpost for a stabilizing American military presence in the Middle East for as long as it is needed.

The Europeans could have done this, but they didn't, and they won't. We now know that rather than opposing the rise of the Jihadist, the French, Germans, and Russians were selling them arms - ''we have found more than a million tons of weapons and munitions in Iraq. If Iraq was not a threat to anyone, why did Saddam have a million tons of weapons?''

The bottom line here is that we will have to deal with Islamic terrorism until we defeat it (or are defeated by it), whenever that is. It will not go away on its own. The history of the world is the clash between the forces of relative civility and civilization, and the barbarians clamoring at the gates. The Iraq war is merely another battle in this ancient and never-ending war. Now, for the first time ever, the barbarians are about to get nuclear weapons unless WE prevent them.

The Iraq war is expensive, and uncertain, yes. But the consequences of not fighting and winning it will be horrifically greater. The history of the world is the history of civilization clashes - cultural clashes. All wars are about ideas. Ideas about what society and civilization should be like. The most determined always win. Those who are willing to be the most ruthless win. The pacifists always lose, because the anti-pacifists kill them.

'''Today, in Iraq, the stakes are high . . . a world dominated by representative governments with civil rights, human rights, and personal freedoms . . . or a world dominated by the radical Islamic Wahhabi movement, by the Jihadist under the Mullahs and the Sharia'''. The Liberal mentality is supposed to favor human rights, civil rights, democracy, multiculturalism, diversity, etc. But if the Jihad wins, wherever the Jihad wins, it is the end of civil rights, human rights, democracy, multiculturalism, diversity, etc. Americans who oppose the liberation of Iraq are coming down on the side of their own worst enemy. If the Jihad wins, it will be the death of Liberalism. (end of quote)

Former U.S. Attorney General in the [[Johnson Administration]], [[Ramsey Clark]], wrote the UN Security Council on July 29, 2002 claiming UN sanctions, "are the direct cause of the very cruel deaths of more than a million people" <ref>[http://www.radioislam.org/bush/act.htm Letter from Ramsey Clark to the U.N.

*[http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/4329469?uid=3739656&uid=2&uid=4&uid=3739256&sid=21101871211641 Amatzia Baram], Director of the Center for Iraq Studies at the University of Haifa, reported almost no difference in the rate of Iraq's population growth between 1977 and 1987 (35.8%) and between 1987 and 1997 (35.1%). The latter period also corresponds with the escalation of the war with Iran, genocide of the Kurds, invasion of Kuwait, Gulf War, and 1991 massacres.
*[http://www.democracynow.org/2004/6/22/bill_clinton_loses_his_cool_in Bill Clinton] noted: "Before the sanctions, the year before the Gulf War—how much money did Iraq earn from oil? Answer: $16 billion. How much money did Iraq earn last year from oil? How much money did they get, cash on the barrel head, to Saddam Hussein? Answer: $19 billion, that he can use exclusively for food, for medicine, to develop his country. He’s got more money now, $3 billion a year more, than he had nine years ago. If any child is without food or medicine or a roof over his or her head in Iraq, it’s because he is claiming the sanctions are doing it and sticking it to his own children. We have worked like crazy to make sure that the embargo only applies to his ability to reconstitute his weapons system and his military state."
*The [http://www.fas.org/news/iraq/1999/09/iraq99.htm US State Department] has stated that Iraq was offered the Oil-for-Food Program in 1991 but that Iraq refused to accept it for years. In addition: "In Northern Iraq, where the UN administers humanitarian assistance, child mortality rates have fallen below pre-Gulf War levels. Now those Iraqi children are better off than before the war. Child mortality figures have more than doubled in the south and center of the country, where the Iraqi government—rather than the UN—controls the program. If a turn-around on child mortality can be made in the north, which is under the same sanctions as the rest of the country, there is no reason it cannot be done in the south and center. The fact of the matter is, however, that the government of Iraq does not share the international community's concern about the welfare of its people. Baghdad's refusal to cooperate with the oil-for-food program and its deliberate misuse of resources are cynical efforts to sacrifice the Iraqi people's welfare in order to bring an end to UN sanctions without complying with its obligations."
*[http://www.iraqwatch.org/perspectives/meria-rubin-sanctions-1201.htm Michael Rubin], adjunct fellow of The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, wrote: "While claiming to face dire food shortages, Iraq actually exported food to other countries....Less than six months after the end of hostilities, the Security Council adopted resolutions to allow Iraq to sell its oil in order to provide revenue for the purchase of essential humanitarian supplies. The Iraqi government refused....Before the imposition of sanctions, the Iraqi government spent less than 25% of its income on humanitarian programs. Under the sanctions regime, Iraq was ordered to allocate 72% of its oil income for humanitarian projects. While there is plenty of money for meeting the needs of the Iraqi people, there is supposed to be none left over for obtaining weapons....While trying to pressure the Iraqi government to dispense with its WMD programs, the sanctions regime has also tried to force that same government to pay more attention to the needs of its own people. The health and welfare of those in Iraq has increased tremendously, at least when the Iraqi government does not interfere with the implementation of the oil-for-food program. It is difficult to be hungry when receiving oil-for-food rations....Barham Salih recently called the sanctions regime "truly revolutionary" in that "never before in our history have we had a government obliged by international law to devote Iraq's oil revenues to the well being of the Iraqi people."....The per capita income available in Saddam's Iraq is now far higher than it was in Iraqi Kurdistan, and yet the Iraqi government continues to either not spend the revenue available, or not spend it wisely. Most damning to arguments about disproportionate funding in the north is that, according to Oil-for-food coordinators in Irbil, northern Iraq has so far only spent half the money actually allocated to it....The oil-for-food program has already spent more than $1 billion in water and sanitation projects in Iraq. There is no reason to blame sanctions for any degradation in water and sanitation systems."
*The UNICEF report on infant mortality was co-authored by the Iraqi government, and claimed that Kuwait was part of Iraq. Iraq [https://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/12/world/iraq-won-t-let-outside-experts-assess-sanctions-impact-on-lives.html denied] UN requests to admit independent experts to assess living conditions. [http://www.instituteforthestudyofgenocide.org/oldsite/newsletters/28/Saddam.html Milton Leitenberg], from the Center for International and Security Studies, pointed out: "All alleged post-1990 figures on infant and child mortality in Iraq are supplied by the Iraqi government agencies." (Independent observers were allowed in the north, where conditions improved as a result of the sanctions regime.)
*According to economist [http://personal.rhul.ac.uk/uhte/014/Truth%20and%20Death.pdf Michael Spagat], "one potential explanation" for the statistics showing an increase in child mortality is that "they were not real, but rather results of manipulations by the Iraqi government."

These claims, despite their falsity, became an extremely effective recruiting tool for suicide terrorists. In the aftermath of the [[9/11 terror attacks]] policymakers and legislators, such a [[John Kerry]], [[John Edwards]] and Richard Gephardt became convinced of the necessity of removing Saddam and ending sanctions. Senator [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] said in a floor speech on October 10, 2002,
{{Cquote|In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program.

==Ron Paul's Responses to all Arguments in favor of the War==
On October 8, 2002, Representative [[Ron Paul]] of [[Texas]] responded all arguments in favor of the Iraq War.<ref>[http://www.culturaldiplomacy.org/academy/pdf/research/books/cultural_diplomacy/A_Foreign_Policy_of_Freedom.pdf " ''A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship'' by Ron Paul PDF format], Pages 238-242</ref>

Claim: Iraq has consistently demonstrated its willingness to use force against the U.S. through its firing on our planes patrolling the UN-established "no-fly zones."

Reality: The "no-fly zones" were never authorized by the United Nations, nor was their 12-year patrol by American and British fighter planes sanctioned by the United Nations. Under UN Security Council Resolution 688 (April, 1991), Iraq's repression of the Kurds and Shiites was condemned, but there was no authorization for "no-fly zones," much less airstrikes. There solution only calls for member states to "contribute to humanitarian relief' in the Kurd and Shiite areas. Yet the British and the U.S. have been bombing Iraq in the "no-fly zones" for 12 years. While one can only condemn any country firing on our pilots, isn't the real argument whether we should continue to bomb Iraq relentlessly? Just since 1998, some 40,000 sorties have been flown over Iraq.

Claim: Iraqis an international sponsor of terrorism.

Reality: According to the latest edition of the State Department's "Patterns of Global Terrorism," Iraq sponsors several minor Palestinian groups, the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). None of these carries out attacks against the United States. As a matter of fact, the MEK (an Iranian organization located in Iraq) has enjoyed broad congressional support over the years. According to last year's "Patterns of Global Terrorism," Iraq has not been involved in terrorist activity against the West since 1993-·the alleged attempt against former President Bush.

Claim: Iraq tried to assassinate President Bush in 1993.

Reality: It is far from certain that Iraq was behind the attack. News reports at the time were skeptical about Kuwaiti assertions that the attack was planned by Iraq against former President Bush. Following is an interesting quote from Seymour Hersh's article from November 1993: Three years ago, during Iraq's six-month occupation of Kuwait, there had been an outcry when a teen-age Kuwaiti girl testified eloquently and effectively before Congress about Iraqi atrocities involving newborn infants. The girl turned out to be the '''daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to Washington, Sheikh Saud''' Nasir al-Sabah, and her account of Iraqi soldiers flinging babies out of incubators was challenged as exaggerated both by journalists and by human rights groups. ('''Sheikh Saud was subsequently named Minister of Information in Kuwait, and he was the government official in charge of briefing the international press on the alleged assassination attempt against George Bush.''') In a second incident, in August 1991, Kuwait provoked a special session of the United Nations Security Council by claiming that twelve Iraqi vessels, including a speedboat, had been involved in an attempt to assault Bubiyan Island, long-disputed territory that was then under Kuwaiti control. The Security Council eventually concluded that, while the Iraqis had been provocative, there had been no Iraqi military raid, and that the Kuwaiti government knew there hadn't. What did take place was nothing more than a smuggler-versus-smuggler dispute over war booty in a nearby demilitarized zone that had emerged, after the Gulf War, as an illegal marketplace for alcohol, ammunition, and livestock. This establishes that, on several occasions, Kuwait has lied about the threat from Iraq. Hersh goes on to point out in the article numerous other times the Kuwaitis lied to the U.S. and the UN about Iraq. Here is another good quote from Hersh: The president was not alone in his caution. Janet Reno, the Attorney General, also had her doubts. "The A.G remains skeptical of certain aspects of the case," a senior Justice Department official told me in late July, a month after the bombs were dropped on Baghdad...Two weeks later, what amounted to open warfare broke out among various factions in the government on the issue of who had done what in Kuwait. Someone gave a Boston Globe reporter access to a classified C.I.A. study that was highly skeptical of the Kuwaiti claims of an Iraqi assassination attempt. '''The study, prepared by the C.I.A.'s Counter Terrorism Center, suggested that Kuwait might have "cooked the books "on the alleged plot in an effort to play up the "continuing Iraqi threat" to Western interests in the Persian Gulf.''' Neither the Times nor the Post made any significant mention of the Globe Dispatch, which had been written by a Washington correspondent named Paul Quinn-Judge, although the story cited specific paragraphs from the C.I.A. assessment. The two major American newspapers had been driven by their sources to the other side of the debate. At the very least, the case against Iraq for the alleged bomb threat is not conclusive.

Claim: Saddam Hussein will use weapons of mass destruction against us-he has already used them against his own people (the Kurds in 1988 in the village of Halabja).

Reality: Itis far from certain that Iraq used chemical weapons against the Kurds. It may be accepted as conventional wisdom in these times, but back when it was first claimed, there was great skepticism. The evidence is far from conclusive. A 1990 study by the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College cast great doubts on the claim that Iraq used chemical weapons on the Kurds. Following are the two gassing incidents as described in the report: In September 1988, however-a month after the war (between Iran and Iraq) had ended-the State Department abruptly, and in what many viewed as a sensational manner, condemned Iraq for allegedly using chemicals against its Kurdish population. The incident cannot be understood without some background of Iraq's relations with the Kurds...throughout the war Iraq effectively faced two enemies –Iran and elements of its own Kurdish minority. Significant numbers of the Kurds had launched a revolt against Baghdad and in the process teamed up with Tehran. As soon as the war with Iran ended, Iraq announced its determination to crush the Kurdish insurrection. It sent Republican Guards to the Kurdish area, and in the course of the operation-according to the U.S. State Department-gas was used, with the result that numerous Kurdish civilians were killed. The Iraqi government denied that any such gassing had occurred. Nonetheless, Secretary of State Schultz stood by U.S. accusations, and the U.S. Congress, acting on its own, sought to impose economic sanctions on Baghdad as a violator of the Kurds 'human rights...'''.Having looked at all the evidence that was available to us, we find it impossible to confirm the State Department's claim that gas was used in this instance. To begin with, there were never any victims produced.''' International relief organizations who examined the Kurds-in Turkey where they had gone for asylum-failed to discover any. Nor were there ever any found inside Iraq. '''The claim rests solely on testimony of the Kurds who had crossed the border into Turkey, where they were interviewed by staffers of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee...''' It appears that in seeking to punish Iraq, the Congress was influenced by another incident that occurred five months earlier in another Iraqi-Kurdish city, Halabjah. In March 1988, the Kurds at Halabjah were bombarded with chemical weapons, producing many deaths. Photographs of the Kurdish victims were widely disseminated in the international media. Iraq was blamed for the Halabjah attack, even though it was subsequently brought out that Iran too had used chemicals in this operation and '''it seemed likely that it was the Iranian bombardment that had actually killed the Kurds...'''. Thus, in our view, the '''Congress acted more on the basis of emotionalism than factual information''', and without sufficient thought for the adverse which had been written by a Washington correspondent named Paul Quinn-Judge, although the story cited specific paragraphs from the C.I.A. assessment. The two major American newspapers had been driven by their sources to the other side of the debate. At the very least, the case against Iraq for the alleged bomb threat is not conclusive.

Thus, in our view, the Congress acted more on the basis of emotionalism than factual information, and without sufficient thought for the adverse diplomatic effects of its action.

Claim: Iraq must be attacked because it has ignored UN Security Council resolutions-these resolutions must be backed up by the use of force.

Reality: Iraqis but one of the many countries that have not complied with UN Security Council resolutions. In addition to the dozen or so resolutions currently being violated by Iraq, a conservative estimate reveals that there are an additional 91 Security Council resolutions by countries other than Iraq that are also currently being violated. Adding in older resolutions that were violated would mean easily more than 200 UN Security Council resolutions have been violated with total impunity. Countries currently in violation include: Israel, Turkey, Morocco, Croatia, Armenia, Russia, Sudan, Turkey-controlled Cyprus, India, Pakistan, Indonesia. None of these countries have been threatened with force over their violations.

Claim: Iraq has anthrax and other chemical and biological agents.

Reality: That may be true. However, according to UNSCOM's chief weapons inspector, 90-95 percent of Iraq's chemical and biological weapons and capabilities were destroyed by 1998; those that remained have likely degraded in the intervening four years and are likely useless. A 1994 Senate Banking Committee hearing revealed some 74 shipments of deadly chemical and biological agents from the U.S. to Iraq in the 1980s. As one recent press report stated: One 1986 shipment from the Virginia-based American Type Culture Collection included three strains of anthrax, six strains of the bacteria that make botulinum toxin and three strains of the bacteria that cause gas gangrene. '''Iraq later admitted to the United Nations that it had made weapons out of all three... The CDC, meanwhile, sent shipments of germs''' to the Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission and other agencies involved in Iraqs weapons of mass destruction programs. It sent samples in 1986 of botulinum toxin and botulinum toxoid-used to make vaccines against botulinum toxin-'''directly to the Iraqi chemical and biological weapons complex''' at al-Muthanna, the records show. These were sent while the United States was supporting Iraq covertly in its war against Iran. U.S. assistance to Iraq in that war also included covertly delivered intelligence on Iranian troop movements and other assistance. This is just another example of our policy of interventionism in affairs that do not concern us-and how this interventionism nearly always ends up causing harm to the United States.

Claim: The president claimed last night: "Iraq possesses ballistic missiles with a likely range of hundreds of miles, far enough to strike Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey and other nations in a region where more than 135,000 American civilians and service members live and work."

Reality: Then why is only Israel talking about the need for the U.S. to attack Iraq? None of the other countries seem concerned at all. Also, the fact that some 135,000 Americans in the area are under threat from these alleged missiles just makes the point that it is time to bring our troops home to defend our own country. Claim: Iraq harbors al-Qaeda and other terrorists. Reality: The administration has claimed that some al-Qaeda elements have been present in Northern Iraq. This is territory controlled by the Kurds-who are our allies-and is patrolled by U.S. and British fighter aircraft. Moreover, dozens of countries-including Iran and the United States-are said to have al-Qaeda members in their territory. Other terrorists allegedly harbored by Iraq, all are affiliated with Palestinian causes and do not attack the United States.

Claim: President Bush said in his speech on October 7, 2002: "Many people have asked how close Saddam Hussein is to developing a nuclear weapon. '''Well, we don't know exactly, and that's the problem..."'''

Reality: Admission of a lack of information is justification for an attack?

After the [[Battle of Baghdad (Operation Iraqi Freedom, 2003)]], President Bush said:
*Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. (Applause.) And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country. [https://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/05/20030501-15.html]

Other comments from President Bush's May 1, 2003 speech <ref>https://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/05/20030501-15.html</ref> show that the context of these victory comments include warnings to Americans of an ongoing struggle to establish Iraqi democracy and counter the threat of terrorism. Quotes, "'''We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We're bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous.''' We're pursuing and finding leaders of the old regime, who will be held to account for their crimes. '''We're helping to rebuild Iraq''', where the dictator built palaces for himself, instead of hospitals and schools. '''And we will stand with the new leaders of Iraq as they establish a government of, by, and for the Iraqi people. The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time, but it is worth every effort. Our coalition will stay until our work is done.''' Then we will leave, and we will leave behind a free Iraq. '''Our mission continues'''. Al Qaeda is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The [[proliferation]] of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. '''The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we.''' Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland. And we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike. '''The war on terror is not over; yet it is not endless.''' We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory." <ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/12386</ref>

Many Iraqis welcomed the American invasion and overthrow of Saddam Hussein, and in the preceding months, showed optimism about their country's future. An '''American Enterprise'-'Wall Street Journal'-'Zogby''' poll in September 2003 found that "Seven out of 10 say they expect their country and their personal lives will be better five years from now. On both fronts, 32% say things will become much better."<ref>[http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110003991 What Iraqis Really Think], retrieved March 21, 2007</ref> Furthermore, in a March 2004 poll of Iraqis, the BBC found that Iraqis have great hope in a stable, unified government for their country, with 80% of respondents favoring a centralized state ruled from Baghdad.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3514504.stm Survey finds hope in occupied Iraq]</ref> From 2004 to before the surge, the unceasing violence by the insurgents had caused some people (mainly in the West) to refer to the ongoing strife as a 'civil war'.<ref>[http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20070301faessay86201/james-d-fearon/iraq-s-civil-war.html Iraq's Civil War], retrieved March 21, 2007</ref>
Since the surge, this has ceased as '''60-80% of the violence has been stopped'''. On Sat Feb 16, 2008 Reuters reported, "Attacks by insurgents and rival sectarian militias have fallen up to 80 percent in Baghdad. The U.S. military says attacks have fallen across Iraq by 60 percent since June on the back of security clampdowns and the deployment of 30,000 extra American troops." <ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080216/ts_nm/iraq_dc</ref>

2007 - Four years into the war, the biggest poll since coalition troops entered Iraq on March 20, 2003 showed that '''by a majority of two to one, Iraqis preferred the current leadership to Saddam Hussein's regime, regardless of the security situation and a lack of public services.''' It also revealed that contrary to the views of many western analysts, most Iraqis did not believe they were embroiled in a civil war; indeed, only 27% believed they were caught up in a civil war and 64% of the '''Iraqis still wanted to see a united Iraq under a central national government'''.<ref>[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article1530526.ece Resilient Iraqis ask what civil war?], retrieved March 21, 2007</ref>

ABC News (and USA Today) conducted a poll <ref>[https://abcnews.go.com/images/US/1033aIraqpoll.pdf PDF Iraq Poll], retrieved March 21, 2007</ref> and found that 56 percent of Iraqis did not believe there was a “civil war,” and a British poll determined 61 percent did not believe they were in a civil war. The ''Times of London'''s summary of the poll: “Iraqis: life is getting better." <ref>[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article1530762.ece Iraqis: life is getting better], retrieved March 21, 2007</ref> A version of the combined articles as posted by ''The Australian'': “It's better than Saddam, say hopeful Iraqis.” <ref>[http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21404747-2703,00.html It's better than Saddam, say hopeful Iraqis], retrieved March 21, 2007</ref>

On January 21, 2008 there was a report about a cache of documents discovered in the fall of 2007 by U.S. forces in the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar. It gave the individual records of 606 foreign fighters who entered Iraq between August 2006 and August 2007 saying, "Based on the Sinjar records, '''U.S. military officials in Iraq said they now think that nine out of 10 suicide bombers have been foreigners, compared with earlier estimates of 75 percent.''' Similarly, they assess that 90 percent of foreign fighters entering Iraq during the one-year period ending in August came via Syria, a greater proportion than previously believed. '''Although Saudi Arabia was by far the most common country of origin of foreign fighters, with about 40 percent of the total, a surprising share -- 19 percent -- came from Libya. Overall, about 40 percent were North African.'''" <ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/20/AR2008012002609.html</ref> This certainly justifies these poll results where Iraqis stated that many of the attacks against the Iraqi populace are the work of foreign forces rather than out of the Iraqi population (civil war).

==Insurgency==
After the removal of Saddam, Iraq saw the rise of sectarian violence initiated by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's [[Sunni]] dominated al-Qaeda in Iraq faction and the majority [[Shia]] population. The strategy was to disrupt Iraq's economy and make the new democratic state ungovernable as long as the U.S. presence continued. The de-Ba'athification process excluded many Sunnis from leadership in the new Iraq. Some Sunnis viewed the U.S. suspiciously for supporting the Shia majority. Though a minority, the Sunni have traditionally ruled Iraq since 1922 and view themselves entitled to continue the privilege of doing so. There are also some intractable Sunni whose interpretation of Muslim law says that the Shia are considered heretics, and thus not fit to lead the nation.

Among the Shia majority, notably the [[Jaysh Al-Madhi]], is a militant faction who not only attacked Sunni Muslims but also American and other coalition troops even while the coalition was protecting the democratically elected Shia. Other Shia groups that have not attacked coalition forces have pursued their own factional aims while relying on the US to ensure Shia majority rule, instead of seeking unity and a cohesive representatively fair national political structure, which hampered progress and reconciliation efforts.<ref>Testimony of Edward N. Luttwak, Committee on Foreign Relations, U.S. Senate , Hearings on [http://www.csis.org/media/csis/congress/ts070123luttwak.pdf Securing America's Interest in Iraq], retrieved March 21, 2007</ref>

However, as reported on May 31, 2007, in the article "US Eyes Cease-Fires End Violence in Iraq" the No. 2 American commander, Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno, said he thought 80 percent of Iraqis — including Sunni insurgents and Shia militants — can reach reconciliation. "We are talking about cease-fires, and maybe signing some things that say they won't conduct operations against the government of Iraq or against coalition forces. I believe there are elements that are irreconcilable, but I believe the large majority are. I believe about 80 percent are reconcilable, both [[Jaysh Al-Madhi]] as well as Sunni insurgents." <ref>http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/05/31/national/w114445D86.DTL</ref>

===Propaganda===
Since the invasion in 2003, both Shiite and Sunni clerics have been repeating over and over again that the Americans and their mostly "[[Christian]]" allies are in Iraq to destroy [[Islam]] in its cultural heartland as well as to steal the country's oil. The clerics dismiss all talk of [[democracy]] and [[human rights]] by the invaders as mere hypocrisy—except for [[women's rights]], which are promoted in earnest, the clerics say, to induce Iraqi daughters and wives to dishonor their families by aping the shameless disobedience of Western women.

At first, a majority of Iraqis believed these religious leaders. The alternative was difficult for them to believe—that foreigners have been unselfishly expending their own blood and treasure to help them. Some polls and incidents demonstrate to insurgents that Americans are out to rob Muslim Iraqis not only of their territory and oil, but also of their religion and even their family honor. The most visible effects of these sentiments were the deadly attacks, the aiding and abetting of such attacks, and celebration by impromptu crowds of spectators.

Zarqawi and his successor, [[Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi]], now known as Caliph Ibrahim deliberately targeted innocent civilians,<ref>http://www.globaljihad.net/view_page.asp?id=140</ref> Iraqi police or the new National Army.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20111211065625/http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page=dua</ref> Local clerics and others routinely accused the Americans of being the attackers—usually by missile strikes that cleverly simulate car-bombs. As to why the Americans would want to kill Iraqis they are themselves recruiting, training, and paying, no explanation was offered, because no obligation was felt to unravel each and every sub-plot of the dark "Christian conspiracy" against Iraq, the Arab world, and Islam.<ref>Luttwak Testimony, [http://www.csis.org/media/csis/congress/ts070123luttwak.pdf Committee on Foreign Relations,] U.S. Senate, pgs. 6-7.</ref>

One key to the success which caused a drop in violence by 2008 <ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080216/ts_nm/iraq_dc</ref> was the willingness of the Sunnis to take back their country from ISIL led violence. In an article February 10, 2008 called, "U.S. Military Says Seized Docs Show Al Qaeda in Iraq Is Weakened" it states, "'''A diary and another document seized during U.S. raids show some Al Qaeda in Iraq leaders fear the terror group is crumbling, with many fighters defecting to American-backed neighborhood groups'''."

The reason for this shift, "the author describes an Al Qaeda in crisis, with citizens growing weary of militants' presence and foreign fighters too eager to participate in suicide missions rather than continuing to fight, "We lost cities and afterward, villages... We find ourselves in a wasteland desert," Smith quoted the document as saying. The memo — believed to have been written in summer 2007 — cites militants' increasing difficulty in moving around and transporting weapons and suicide belts ''because of better equipped Iraqi police and more watchful citizens'', Smith said."

The populace of Iraq, with American support, rejected the extremist viewpoint and were willing to stand up and do what it takes to get peace in the country for themselves and their future. The article further states, "The diary, seized by U.S. troops south of Balad, was written in autumn 2007 by Abu Tariq, who refers to himself as sector leader for al-Qaida in Iraq, Smith said. '''Tariq wrote that he was once in charge of 600 fighters, but only 20 were left "after the tribes changed course" — a reference to how many Sunni tribesmen have switched sides to fight alongside the Americans''', Smith said. The new organizations, called awakening councils or neighborhood watch groups, were key to helping push Al Qaeda in Iraq out of Anbar province, once one of the country's most violent. The terror network's top leaders are now based somewhere in northern Iraq, Smith said, having moved out of Anbar and into Diyala province last year.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,330235,00.html</ref>

The indomitable spirit of the Iraqis has been put to the test and is prevailing against ISIS as they stand up for their country and reject the extremist view and their brutal ways (including torture) which are documented in the next section.

Most U.S. media companies have a significant stake in shaping the view of this conflict with the American public. Anti-Bush pro-DNC propaganda by U.S. media companies reported a common theme: American failure and defeat in Iraq. As the conflict continued the American public was given large doses of negative reporting for four years. During 2007, General Petraeus got approval and implemented the 'Surge' strategy for securing Baghdad from ISIS. Result, deaths and bombings by militias, rogue bandits and terror cells significantly decreased. Success was rarely reported.

===US troop surge and progress in Iraq===
:''See the article:'' [[Troop surge]]


Since the new US-Iraqi offensive was launched in February 2007, ISIL forces were put on the defensive in their former insurgent stronghold of Anbar, Britain's top general in Iraq said (March 2007).<ref>[http://www.ft.com/cms/s/b3fd545e-d70f-11db-b9d7-000b5df10621.html Iraq insurgents ‘on the defensive’], retrieved March 21, 2007</ref> The insurgency “didn’t do too well in Anbar . . . Their claims have failed to come to fruition,” he said, referring to the declaration by Islamic radicals that they had established a “[[caliphate]]”, or successorship, encompassing much of western Iraq. Lt Gen Lamb said that US and Iraqi forces were recruiting hundreds of police for the first time in towns in the Anbar region and that the forces were working together in shared combat outposts. While conceding that car bomb attacks In Baghdad and a surge of violence in neighboring Diyala (Caliph Ibrahim's hometown) had to be addressed, he said that US and Iraqi planners were learning to reduce the threat, establishing an outer cordon around the city as well as barriers, or “point defense” protection around key targets inside. The US military has reported cases in which car bombs have been stopped at checkpoints. In some cases the bombs detonated killing Iraqi security forces, but the casualties would arguably have been much greater had the blasts hit crowded commercial districts. General Lamb, who commanded British ground forces in Iraq in 2003 and 2004 said that multinational forces now had the benefit of four years of experience in fighting the insurgents.

'''The increasing pressure from US forces with this Surge strategy has caused Sadr and his commanders flee to Iran''' as ''The Guardian'' reported Feb 15, 07, "Senior commanders of the Mehdi army, the militia loyal to the radical Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, have been spirited away to Iran to avoid being targeted in the new security push in Baghdad, a high-level Iraqi official told the ''Guardian''. "Over the last three weeks, they [Iran] have taken away from Baghdad the first and second-tier military leaders of the Mehdi army," he said. The aim of the Iranians was to "prevent the dismantling of the infrastructure of the Shia militias" in the Iraqi capital—one of the chief aims of the United States-backed security drive. The chief US military spokesperson in Baghdad said the anti-Western cleric had fled to Iran. US forces were tracking him "very closely", he said.

The Surge is showing signs as a solid strategy which is being used to good effect as Al Jazeera reports that the Baathist terrorists have begun to criticize Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda in their article '''''Sunni group condemns Iraq al-Qaeda''''' <ref>http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/A6EC4EAB-854C-4D2F-A922-754648CDED8D.htm</ref> where it states: "An influential Iraqi Sunni armed group has called on al-Qaeda in Iraq to “review” its behavior in the country. '''The Islamic Army in Iraq, believed to be the largest group of former Baathists and army officers fighting Iraqi and US forces''', called on Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader, to take more responsibility for al-Qaeda in Iraq. “Killing Sunnis has become a legitimate target for them, especially rich ones. Either they pay them what they want or they kill them,” a statement from the group said. “They would kill any critic or whoever tries to show them their mistakes.” Sunni Arab officials have also urged what they call “the real resistance” to disown al-Qaeda and engage in talks with the government to end violence which has driven the country closer to an all-out civil war."

Now, the increasing pressure appears to have caused an actual break in relations between terrorist groups as this April 12, 07 article states, quote, "One of Iraq's main armed groups has confirmed a split with al-Qaeda, according to a spokesman for the dissenting organization. '''Ibrahim al-Shammari told Al Jazeera on Thursday that the Islamic Army in Iraq had decided to disunite from al-Qaeda in Iraq''' after its members were threatened. ".. after Abu Musab al-Zarqawi died, the gap between us [and al-Qaeda] widened, because [they] started to target our members. They killed about 30 of our people, and we definitely don't recognize their establishment of an Islamic state - we consider it invalid." The Islamic Army in Iraq is one of several nationalist groups which opposes hitting Iraqi civilians, but it has carried out high-profile attacks against multinational forces. '''Al-Shammari said they would be willing to deal with the Americans if certain conditions are met.''' Al-Shammari said that his group didn't consider US forces to be the main danger in Iraq. "There are two occupations: Iranian and American, and the Iranian one is more dangerous than American because Iran considers Iraq as a part of their country." The Islamic Army in Iraq's statement comes after Iraq's president said the presidential office was in contact with five insurgent groups. Jalal Talabani said on Wednesday that the contacts mark an attempt to bring the groups into the mainstream political process.<ref>http://www.iraqupdates.com/p_articles.php/article/16414</ref>

Additional progress was detailed in "'''Corps Commander Highlights Progress in Iraq'''", Apr 13, 2007, where Army Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the commander of Multinational Corps in Iraq said there has been '''progress in the security situation in Baghdad'''. Three of the five promised U.S. brigades are in place in the city, an additional three Iraqi brigade headquarters and 11 additional battalions have moved into Baghdad in support of the operation. Twenty-six joint security stations in Baghdad are manned by Iraqi army, Iraqi police and coalition forces, as are more than 21 combat outposts. "This continuous presence is making the Iraqi people feel safer and has greatly increased the amount of information provided to the Iraqi army, police and coalition forces by the public," Odierno said. Sectarian murders have dropped in Baghdad, and some displaced families are returning to the city. In addition, coalition and Iraqi forces have doubled the number of arms caches found since the beginning of the operation two months ago. Security forces allow citizens to return to a more normal existence. "Across Baghdad, markets are being hardened with checkpoints and barriers, and merchants have returned to sell their produce," he said. "And Iraqis are busy shopping in the markets of Rusafa and Dura, and there are more projects such as these ... that will occur in the near future."

Positive changes are not limited to Baghdad, he said, they are also happening in Anbar province, where coalition and Iraqi security forces are working with local tribal leaders. "The people of al Anbar are fighting back and winning," Odierno said. "They've effectively turned back the tide of al Qaeda, but there will be counterattacks by al Qaeda." '''The general said there were nine attacks last week in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province. "During the same week a year ago, there were over 84 attacks," he said.''' Odierno said he also sees promise in the northern part of Iraq. Coalition forces there have set up 33 U.S. police transition teams to build law enforcement capability in that region. Oil is flowing out of the Bayji refinery thanks to Iraqi security force efforts to protect distribution tankers. Progress continues in the country's south, as well. "In the south, Operation Black Eagle in Diwaniyah, conducted by joint Iraqi and coalition forces, uncovered a headquarters of a rogue element of Jaysh al-Mahdi, with a major weapons cache including materials for IED-making," he said. Even the demonstrations called by radical cleric Muqtada al Sadr on April 9 to protest the U.S. presence in Iraq are a good sign, Odierno said. "This demonstration took place without incident," he said. "It is worth mentioning three points related to this demonstration. First, the government of Iraq allowed the demonstration to take place, unthinkable under the former regime. Second, the demonstrators waved Iraqi flags rather than black flags or pictures of ayatollahs. And third, the demonstrators numbered no more than 15,000, rather than the one million its organizers called for." <ref>http://www.blackanthem.com/News/International_21/Corps_Commander_Highlights_Progress_in_Iraq5809.shtml</ref>

That being said, anti-democratic and sectarian violence in the war, as expected and predicted by the Bush Administration, is continuing: a recent Al-Qaida attack at the Parliamentary cafeteria killed one, and on April 18, 2007, a series of car bombs killed 131 Baghdad residents.<ref>US CENTCOM Press Release, [http://www.centcom.mil/sites/uscentcom2/Lists/Current%20Press%20Releases/DispForm.aspx?ID=4767 131 Dead, More Than 160 Wounded by Multiple Car Bomb Attacks in Baghdad Multi-National Division], Release Number: 07-01-03P, 4/18/2007.</ref>

In the ABC article, ''"Al-Qaida claims Iraq parliament attack"'', the U.S. military ''revised the death toll sharply downward to one dead in the the parliament suicide bombing''. Iraqi officials said the bomber was believed to have been a bodyguard for a Sunni lawmaker who was not among the casualties. Parliament officials said the victim was Mohammed Awad, a moderate Sunni lawmaker. Iraqi lawmakers gathered Friday in a rare - and defiant - session of parliament on the Muslim day of prayer. A red and white bouquet sat in Awad's place in the parliament chamber. Lawmakers took the podium one after another to denounce the bombing. One MP had his arm in sling and a woman lawmaker wore a neck brace. "The more they (terrorists) act, the more solid we become. When they take from us one martyr, we will offer more martyrs," Vice President Adil Abdul-Mahdi said. "The more they target our unity, the stronger our unity becomes." Iraqi parliament speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani said Friday's session was "a clear message to all the terrorists and all those who dare try to stop this (political) process, that we will sacrifice in order for it to continue." <ref>http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=nation_world&id=5205895</ref>

At a news conference with Defense Secretary Robert Gates (reported Fri Apr 20, 2007), Iraqi Defense Minister Abdul-Qader al-Obaidi said the Iraqis are making progress in countering the insurgency. '''"Our need for support is getting less and less each day,"''' al-Obaidi said. Gates said the U.S. troop buildup will continue at least until late summer. '''"We need some time for things to work,"''' he said. '''Three of the five extra brigades Bush ordered into Iraq to stem violence have arrived. Officials want the rest in place by June, for a total of 160,000.''' Soon after that, they will assess how much longer the higher troop level — about 30,000 more than before the buildup — will be needed. Since the troop buildup or "Surge" has not even been completed, it is not surprising that the premature and rash comments by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid saying the war was already lost and the troop buildup was not stemming violence in Iraq were rejected by Gates. "I respectfully disagree," Gates said when asked by a reporter about Reid's Thursday remarks. He assured [[Nouri al-Maliki|al-Maliki]] that the U.S. continues to be committed to the Iraqi government and the Baghdad security plan, Gates said.<ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070420/ap_on_re_mi_ea/gates_iraq</ref>

April 20, 2007 - Iraqi President Nouri al Malaki affirmed the indigenous Iraqi Assyrian Christians' right to have a Province of their own, which could be provided for under the Iraqi Constitution. Malaki was addressing questions concerning the minorities, many of whom are in neighboring countries, including an estimated nearly 500,000 Assyrian Christians. Additionally, Malaki said, "I think it is important to let the world know that things in our country are improving dramatically. '''Our unemployment rate has gone from nearly 70 percent to now under 30 percent. Our most recent growth rate was 3 percent and we have seen, in particular as a result of the recent Baghdad program, a dramatic drop in so-called sectarian violence.''' What is particularly encouraging to me is the changes we have seen in our security forces and the trust from our people once again. We are finally seeing individual citizens provide information to our forces, which has changed the situation dramatically in rooting out those who are determined to ruin our country."

Malaki stressed three key goals. National Reconciliation, Economic Development and Expanded Security as the way forward. "In spite of much information to the contrary, we are seeing a return to the Iraq we all once knew when we considered ourselves all Iraqis and not belonging to a particular sect or group," he said. "Recently we have brought back large numbers of former members of the Ba'ath Party who were not involved in any problems in the past and this has significantly helped to bring our people together. Economic development is taking place at a good rate. Part of the reason we are here is to encourage even more investment into our country. The monthly income of our people has gone from about $20 a month to now over $200. The dramatic rise in electrical use is one good sign that the economy is taking off. The stores are full." Describing the current military situation as "moving from sectarian to outside interference," Malaki stressed that the so-called Baghdad Plan was working. "We are seeing a dramatic drop in the sectarian conflicts and see our major challenge as that from the outside including Al Quaida and remainders of the Ba'athist groups," he said. "In the end we will be able to take care of ourselves. Meanwhile, we need the help of our friends to stand against those who want to harm us."

Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, said in a recent interview, that the increase of nearly 30,000 U.S. troops in the country had achieved "modest progress" but had also had setbacks such as a rise in suicide bombings and other problems. Petraeus also stated that he was uncertain whether his counterinsurgency strategy would be ultimately succeed, but he stated "'''We have certainly pulled [Baghdad] neighborhoods back from the brink.'''" Assessing the first two months of the U.S. and Iraqi plan to pacify the capital, senior American commanders—including Petraeus; Adm. William Fallon, head of U.S. forces in the Middle East; Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno, commander of military operations in Iraq; and top regional commanders—see mixed results. Critical now, they said in interviews last week, is for Iraqi leaders to forge the political compromises needed for long-term stability. The deployment of additional troops in Baghdad is only 60 percent complete, and a major concern shared by U.S. military leaders is whether al-Maliki's government is capable of solidifying gains in security as well as making the crucial political compromises needed to achieve peace.

In an interview of '''Iraq's national security adviser, Mowaffak Al-Rubaie''' aired May 10, 2007, Mr. Rubaie stated, "'''This is an ideological war. This is a -- a long-term war. This is a war on a global scale. This is a war, if it gets out of control, it will spill over to Europe and America in no time. And it will disturb the oil flow in the Gulf.''' What happened in Iraq is not something minor and simple, like a coup d'état or a revolution. What happened is a hurricane. What happened is a huge, major shift, from the old order of 1,000 years of persecution, of dictatorship, of religious supremacy, of prosecuting minorities, to a completely new order, which is called democracy, human rights, accountability, and transparency, and all this. '''This paradigm shift needs some time. You cannot -- it needs strategic patience.''' And it needs time. You cannot fit this major shift and the strategic objectives in the election cycle of Washington. You cannot do that."

'''He went on to note progress and plead for patience, "I think we made a remarkable progress over the last three years'''. In June 2004, we had only one battalion in the Iraqi army. Now we have 11 divisions. And, in June 2004, we did not have policemen. We did not have national police, local police, an intelligence service. We didn't have anything. Now we have Iraqi security forces, several hundreds of thousands of them. And what we need, we need some refinements, some tuning. We need some training. And we need some equipment and logistical support. We need to build the system within the Iraqi security forces. '''In a very short period of time, we're going to be self-reliant'''."

"Take, for example, in Baghdad. Last year, Baghdad was under the command of an American general called General Thurman. And now Baghdad is under the command-and- control of general -- an Iraqi general called General Abboud. And he is commanding and leading and controlling 2.5 Iraqi army division and 11 or 13 Iraqi police, national police, brigades. -- we needed the upsurge, and we need the upsurge to clear some areas of these neighborhoods and to hold them and to build them. When we have this upsurge, let's the best use of it. And let's clear these areas and hold it and build it." <ref>http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0705/10/acd.01.html</ref>

May 12, 2007, '''"Iraq's top Shi'ite party changes platform"''' gave the stunning news that "Iraq's biggest Shi'ite party, The Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), pledged its allegiance to the country's top Shi'ite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, in a move that would distance it from Shi'ite Iran where it was formed. They said the party had been close to Sistani for some time, but a two-day conference formalized relations with the influential cleric. Officials said the party, which was formed in Iran in the 1980s to oppose Saddam, had previously taken its guidance from the religious establishment of Welayat al Faqih, led by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran. The party then pledged to follow the guidance of the Shi'ite establishment and also said it had introduced significant policy changes and changed its name to the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC) -- dropping the word "Revolution".<ref>https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/latest/tm_headline=iraq-s-top-shi-ite-party-changes-platform&method=full&objectid=19092898&siteid=89520-name_page.html</ref>

This was hailed in the Middle East as a very significant development, stating "The real change of direction and leadership of Iraqi Shiites to Sistani is the greatest victory of the new era of constitutionalism and civility in Iraq. The shifting of Shiite Islam to Najaf, instead of Qum, is a huge change and a direct result of Iraq's freedom that '''has changed the balance of power in Iraq and Iran'''. The New York Times-owned Boston Globe reports from Tehran that the influence of Iraqi Shiites is growing even there: "Some Iranians are intrigued by the more freewheeling experiment in Shi'ite empowerment taking place across the border in Iraq, where--Iraq's myriad problems aside--imams can say whatever they want in political Friday sermons, newspapers and satellite channels regularly slam the government, and religious observance is respected and encouraged but not required." <ref>http://www.globalpolitician.com/articledes.asp?ID=2815&cid=2&sid=38</ref>

CBS Evening News May 29, 2007 presented, "an exclusive interview, Iraq's Prime Minister tells CBS News '''the security crackdown is working'''." The network relayed how, “in his first American television interview since the U.S. troop surge began in February, Iraq's Prime Minister told CBS News today '''the additional forces here have prevented an even greater catastrophe.'''” Maliki also disclosed that there have been many victories in breaking up al Qaeda and other militant cells.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/13073</ref>

Then on May 31, 07, the article '''"US Eyes Cease-Fires End Violence in Iraq'''" added, quote: U.S. military commanders are talking with Iraqi militants about cease-fires and other arrangements to try to stop the violence, '''the No. 2 American commander Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno said. He thinks 80 percent of Iraqis — including Sunni insurgents and Shia militants — can reach reconciliation with each other'''. "We are talking about cease-fires, and maybe signing some things that say they won't conduct operations against the government of Iraq or against coalition forces. I believe there are elements that are irreconcilable, but I believe the large majority are. I believe about 80 percent are reconcilable, both Jaish al-Mahdi as well as Sunni insurgents." He said the increased effort by commanders to reach out to militants goes hand in hand with reconciliation efforts by the Iraqi government. Odierno noted that efforts to engage tribal leaders in Anbar province — who have been turning against al-Qaida there — has helped draw people to serve in the Iraqi security forces in record numbers and has helped reduce attacks there. For example, the attacks in Anbar in May 2006 totaled 811, while this May they were just barely over 400. Since the beginning of 2007, over 12,000 Iraqi citizens have volunteered for Iraqi security forces in Anbar. In all of 2006, only 1,000 had volunteered.<ref>http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/05/31/national/w114445D86.DTL</ref>

Even Newsweek's June 4 edition on page 33, has a story by Melinda Liu on actual progress in Iraq, headlined: "Gathering the Tribes: U.S. field commanders are finally beginning to tap the traditional networks that helped Saddam stay in power." Liu reported from Ramadi that '''"Marines and Iraqi tribesmen and police are sitting together, swapping jokes and stories. Some of these Iraqis were probably shooting at Americans less than a year ago. Now they and the Marines are fighting side by side against Al Qaeda."''' The story also carried a large, bolded quote: ''''Last year the Americans were our biggest enemies,' says one cop. 'Now they're how we get what we need.'''' The captions on the pictures read: '''PEACE SIGNS:''' Tribal recruits man a check-point in Ramadi (above); children and others now freely interact with Americans (right).<ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/13080</ref>

And on May 31 a report '''"Sunnis Revolt Against al-Qaida in Iraq"''' confirmed the trend stating, "U.S. troops battled al-Qaida in west Baghdad on Thursday after '''Sunni Arab residents challenged the militants and called for American help to end furious gunfire''' that kept students from final exams and forced people in the neighborhood to huddle indoors. Backed by helicopter gunships, U.S. troops joined the two-day battle in the Amariyah district, according to residents of the Sunni district. Lt. Col. Dale C. Kuehl, commander of 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, who is responsible for the Amariyah area of the capital, confirmed the U.S. military's role in the fighting in the Sunni district. "The events of the past two days are promising developments. Sunni citizens of Amariyah that have been previously terrorized by al-Qaida are now resisting and want them gone. They're tired of the intimidation that included the murder of women," Kuehl said. Casualty figures were not immediately available. But the district councilman said Haji Hameed, '''the al-Qaida leader in Amariyah, was killed and 45 other fighters were detained'''.<ref>http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/05/31/international/i154309D51.DTL</ref>

Meanwhile, '''U.S. forces handed over responsibility for security in Iraq's three northern provinces to the Kurdish regional government. Seven Iraqi provinces, including Najaf, Muthanna, Dhi Qar and Maysan, now have responsibility for their own security – a third of the total. The United States hopes to add more as Iraqi forces grow in capability.''' <ref>http://www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid=74626</ref>

March 2008 - '''''62% of Iraqis now say they want the US troops to stay in their country.. and a full 55% say their lives are going well. '''''

Marking the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq, ABC's anchor Charles Gibson on World News Monday March 18, 2008 explained '''“we have polled inside Iraq and there is some good news.” Specifically, “today, 55 percent of Iraqi say their lives are going well. Last summer that number was 39 percent.” ''' From Iraq, Terry McCarthy reported, "As our poll takers spread across the country they found that '''for the first time in three years, people were more worried about economic and social problems than violence. And almost half think their country will be better off in a year -- double the number six months ago. In Dora, in southern Baghdad, we found these kids playing on the street. A year ago, they would haven't dared to come outside....''' McCarthy also noted in a telling reality check, '''only 38 percent want U.S. troops to leave now, afraid that the gains in security might be reversed.”''' This obviously means that 62 percent of the Iraqis polled want US troops to stay in their country until they are certain the gains in security and stability will not be reversed. “Even Fallujah has turned around,” McCarthy learned, “as '''the local population has largely abandoned the insurgency''' and now they're focusing on rebuilding the city from the ruins of war,” though tough tasks remain with most complaining about electrical shortages and poor health care services.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-baker/2008/03/18/abc-finds-optimistic-iraqis-kids-playing-safely-street</ref>

CNN Headline News anchor '''Glenn Beck stated "[If the United States were to withdraw, it] would be America’s most shameful act of immorality since slavery".''' He added that Democrat Congressional war opponents are "just plain stupid" and "can't see the future." '''Beck stated that if U.S. forces pull out, a "genocide" will take place that will make Darfur "look like a picnic."''' For support he turned to '''Van Hipp, Chairman and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army who said, "Unfortunately, Glenn, I believe you`re right. And I tell you, if we surrender now, I believe you will see a humanitarian catastrophe much like or even worse than the situation in Darfur right now, the death count -- and the estimate right now beginning in a few months, they could be looking at 100,000 deaths a month'''." <ref>http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0704/24/gb.01.html</ref>

John McCain, on Feb 15, 2008 delineated his position for the continuance of the war effort stated in this article, "Republican frontrunner John McCain drew sharp distinctions with his Democratic White House rivals over Iraq, saying an untimely US withdrawal would bring about "genocide." '''"Both Senator Obama and Clinton want to set a date for withdrawal. That means chaos. That means genocide,"''' the Arizona senator told CNN's Larry King late Thursday.

===Al-Qaeda's Use Of Torture===
Key to any insurgency is its ability to have the support of the people, or at least their assent. If the people turn against the insurgency as they now have in Iraq, the insurgents have no basis of operations to hide in and the insurgency crumbles. This is why the insurgents have fled to northern Iraq, as stated above. However, working toward forcing cooperation by the populace, the terrorists in Iraq have used incredible amounts of intimidation - kidnap, torture, threats and murder - to prevent the local Iraqi populace from cooperating with those who will bring them a free and democratic Iraq (the US/Coalition forces and the Democratically aligned Iraqi government forces). From the ordinary Iraqi's point of view, cooperating with those who will bring them freedom can have a high cost. If found out, the media will splash their name all over the papers, making it easy for the terrorists to target them for reprisals. Family members can go missing or they can. They could be tortured or killed.

The great tragedy in the Mainstream Media ([[MSM]]) covering up the inhumane torture methods of the terrorists while trumpeting outrage at the far milder US intimidation techniques (Abu Gharib, etc.), is that it hides from public view what risks the Iraqi population must take to cooperate with those who would bring them their freedom. In the article, "Media Totally Ignore Al Qaeda Torture Manual" it says, "Glenn Reynolds this morning pointed out that “Silence is complicity,” while leading the reader to Don Surber's piece on the subject which went much further in condemning the media boycott (emphasis added): And yet such false stories as the “flushed Koran” got widespread play in the newspapers and on television. We are hearing those awful “Sounds of Silence” that Simon and Garfunkel warned us about. Whether intentional or not, the message is clear: The United States must be above even false reports of torture, while the enemy is allowed to promote eye removal, blowtorching skin and horrors I won't go into. The handbook shows that the enemy really is perverted; they are sickos who like to torture people. As much as I admire and respect John McCain's war service, he is wrong when he says our interrogation methods encourage the enemy to torture our people. The enemy was torturing and beheading people well before 9/11."<ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/13002</ref>

Apart from brief mentions on Fox News and CNN, reports on this issue in the days prior or subsequent have been few. As a result, the populace of the US sees daily news coverage of just how ruthless the insurgents are in their attacks upon the populace in the way of guns and bombs, but are not given substantive evidence of the intimidation (torture) which the Iraqi people face. And it is this torture and intimidation which was the direct cause of slowing US progress, hampering the swift end of the insurgency in Iraq. Thinking that the people of Iraq support the insurgency and are not merely being intimidated by them, the US populace has been impatient for instant progress and their support for the Iraqi people obtaining their freedom from such a ruthless enemy waned. As a result—before the success of the surge, the drop in violence and the standing up of the Iraqis against this intimidation - US support for the war dropped significantly and many discouraged American people turned to supporting the anti-American sentiments of the [[far left]] saying America should pull the troops from Iraq.

===Results of the Surge on casualties and terrorist attacks===
The surge has resulted in a 60% reduction in terrorist attacks and causalities since June 2007 to the present.<ref>http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=48515</ref> Indeed, the year 2008 saw a decline in soldier deaths to 309 from 906 the year before.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/12/30/iraq.main/index.html</ref>

Many insurgents returned to [[Libya]], [[Syria]], and other places of origin to continue jihad against [[Muammar Gaddafi]], [[Bashar al Assad]] and other [[secular]] rulers.

==Iraq Strategy in Relation to the Global War on Terrorism==

As reported in the State Department's annual Country Reports on Terrorism <ref>http://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/crt/2006/</ref> released April 30, 2007, there are '''steep declines in terrorist attacks and murders in many regions of the globe'''. Though terrorism has increased markedly in Iraq, aside from the Middle East (which does not include Afghanistan according to State), the number of terrorist attacks worldwide is down from a year ago by over 300 incidents. In other words, the Bush administration's idea that making Iraq the "central front in the war on terror" seems to be working. According to the State report, '''terrorism in South Asia is down by 10 percent from a year ago. In Europe, it's down 18 percent. In Central and South America, terrorism-related deaths are down 54 percent.''' <ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/12431</ref>

==Weapons of Mass Destruction==

Weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, just not the amount considered enough used to justify -one- of the reasons for removing Saddam.<ref>[https://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/10/wikileaks-show-wmd-hunt-continued-in-iraq-with-surprising-results/ WikiLeaks Show WMD Hunt Continued in Iraq – With Surprising Results, Wired, October 23, 2010]</ref> Over one-third of 36 million captured Ba'ath party records have been examined by a linguist and a summary gist of the document prepared.<ref>[http://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/duelfer.html Comprehensive Report of the Special Adviser to the DCI on Iraq’s WMD], retrieved March 21, 2007</ref> Many believe the physical WMDs that had been produced prior to the invasion were smuggled out of the country, possibly to [[Syria]], before the onset of the war. But recently in July 2008,<ref>[http://www.abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=5314609 The USA Military found 550 metric tons of yellow cake uranium in Iraq]</ref> The USA Military found 550 metric tons of yellow cake uranium and parts to make nuclear weapons in Tuwaitha 12 miles south of Baghdad, as proof that George W. Bush, Tony Blair, and the CIA were right about Saddam owning yellow cake uranium. An article 07/08/2008 states, "In recent weeks, the U.S. secretly has helped the Iraqi government ship it all to Canada, where it was bought by a Canadian company for further processing into nuclear fuel — thus keeping it from potential use by terrorists or unsavory regimes in the region. '''The scary math behind Saddam's uranium hoard: 500 tons of yellowcake, once refined, could make 142 nuclear weapons.''' This would seem to vindicate Bush's decision to invade. According to the AP, the military also discovered 'four devices for controlled radiation exposure ... that could potentially be used in a weapon.'"<ref>http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=462856&Ntt=yellowcake+found+in+iraq</ref>

Saddam's General says they had WMD - As FrontPageMagazine.com reported in its article "Symposium: Iraq, WMDs and Troubling Revelations" on May 29, 2006 - "Just recently, Saddam Hussein's former southern regional commander, Gen. Al-Tikriti, gave the first videotaped testimony '''confirming that Iraq had WMDs up to the American invasion in 2003 and that Russia helped remove them prior to the war.''' His testimony ''confirms numerous other sources'' that have pointed to Russia's secret alliance with Iraq and the coordinated moving of WMDs before the American liberation." <ref>http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=4255</ref> However, there is no way to obtain hard physical evidence to back up their assertions due to the fact that Syria will not allow such intrusive inspection and searching in their country. Intelligence sources do, however, say that General Al-Tikriti is a credible witness as is the pilot who also testified that he flew such missions.

According to the Duelfer Report, Saddam used the Iraq Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MHESR) through its universities and research programs to maintain, develop, and acquire expertise, to advance or preserve existent research projects and developments, and to procure goods prohibited by United Nations Security Council sanctions.<ref>Duelfer Report, Vol. 1, Regime Finance and Procurement, p. 10 (pdf)</ref>

In keeping with that finding, on March 10, 2010 the Washington Post revealed the existence of documents showing that Saddam had been approached with the offer of a $150 million nuclear "package" deal that included not only weapons designs but also production plants and foreign experts to supervise the building of a nuclear bomb, according to documents uncovered by a former U.N. weapons inspector. The offer, '''"guaranteed Iraq a weapons-assembly line capable of producing nuclear warheads in as little as three years."''' At the time of the 1990 offer, '''Iraq was embarked in a crash program to develop nuclear weapons''' and "Iraqi officials at the time appear to have taken the offer seriously and asked the Pakistanis for sample drawings as proof of their ability to deliver." The article goes on to state that '''"Aid from the Pakistani scientist could have accelerated Iraq's quest for a weapon if the Iraqi leader had not run out of time''', writes Albright, a former U.N. inspector who now heads the nonprofit Institute for Science and International Security."
<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/09/AR2010030903775.html?wprss=rss_world&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wp-dyn%2Frss%2Fworld%2Findex_xml+%28washingtonpost.com+-+World%29</ref>

Additionally, concerning the 36 million captured pages of documentation, when it was put on the net for public translation, it was removed after they found quote, "detailed accounts of Iraq’s secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb." As '''''The New York Times''''' confirmed in their issue November 3, 2006, Saddam had complete plans for a nuclear weapon and was in the process of procuring parts when the US removed him. Quote: "nuclear experts who have viewed them say go beyond what is available elsewhere on the Internet and in other public forums. For instance, the papers give detailed information on how to build nuclear firing circuits and triggering explosives, as well as the radioactive cores of atom bombs. '''Experts say that at the time, Mr. Hussein’s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away."''' <ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/03/world/middleeast/03documents.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1&ei=5094&en=1511d6b3da302d4f&hp&ex=1162530000&partner=homepage</ref>

Additionally, tapes with Saddam speaking on them also surfaced and certain sinister remarks Saddam made on the tapes were translated which showed that he threatened to use WMD on Washington, DC. In the article, "'''Saddam Translator: ABC Reinterpreted Tapes'''" dated Feb. 17th 2006, the FBI translator who supplied the 12 hours of Saddam Hussein audiotapes excerpted by ABC's "Nightline" says the network discarded his translations and went with a less threatening version of the Iraqi dictator's comments. In the "Nightline" version of the 1996 recording, Saddam predicts that Washington, D.C., would be hit by terrorists. But he adds that Iraq would have nothing to do with the attack. Tierney says, however, that what Saddam actually said was much more sinister. '''"He was discussing his intent to use chemical weapons against the United States and use proxies so it could not be traced back to Iraq,'''" he told Hannity. In a passage not used by "Nightline," Tierney says Saddam declares: "Terrorism is coming. ... In the future there will be terrorism with weapons of mass destruction. What if we consider this technique, with smuggling?" <ref>https://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/2/17/125334.shtml</ref>

Concerning additional tapes uncovered where Saddam is being briefed by his Son-in-law, Lieutenant General Hussein, ABC News reports his words to Saddam Hussein: "Sir, I would not be speaking so openly if it were not for your excellency's and Mr. Tariq's clarification and statement that we produced biological weapons. '''We did not reveal all that we have. Secondly, they don't know about our work in the domain of missiles.''' With regard to the issue of the chemical, sir, ... '''In the chemical, sir, they have a problem far bigger than the biological''', bigger than the biological. Not the type of the weapons, not the volume of the materials we imported, not the volume of the production we told them about, not the volume of use. None of this was correct. '''They don't know any of this'''. We did not reveal the volume of the chemical weapons that we had produced. We did not reveal the type of the chemical weapons. We did not reveal the truth about the volume of the imported materials. In the nuclear, sir, in the biological, we also disagree with them. '''As for the nuclear, we say we have disclosed everything but no.''' We have undeclared problems in nuclear as well, and I believe that they know. '''There are teams working with no one knowing about some of them.''' I go back to the question of whether we should reveal everything or continue to be silent... I would say it is in our interest not to reveal. Not just out of fear of disclosing the technology we achieved, or ''to hide it for future work''...<ref>https://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/Investigation/story?id=1623307&page=1</ref>

Another of the documents show that Saddam ordered suicide attacks on the US, which then, within a year, could have become nuclear. In the article "'''Saddam Ordered Suicide Attacks on U.S. Targets'''" dated April 6th 2006, it states, "A newly translated document from Saddam Hussein's intelligence files indicates that '''the Iraqi dictator ordered suicide attacks against U.S. targets six months before the 9/11 attacks.'''" <ref>https://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/4/6/230437.shtml?s=lh</ref>

Also, there was another document discovered proving that Saddam was intending to attack London in this article "'''Saddam was training terrorists for attacks in London'''" dated March 27, 2006 - "Among the documents released last week was a translation of a three-page Iraqi Intelligence memo regarding a wave of attacks to be conducted by the Saddam Fedayeen.According to those orders, the Fedayeen Saddam was "to start planning from now on to perform special operations ('''assassinations/bombings) for''' the centers and the traitor symbols in the fields of ('''London'''/Iran/self-ruled areas) and for coordination with the Intelligence service to secure deliveries, accommodations, and target guidance."" <ref>https://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/012/024eyieu.asp</ref>

The UK government Feb 18, 2008 released an early draft of its controversial dossier on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction, after losing a bid to keep it secret. The government has always maintained Williams' paper was not relevant as the final dossier was the work of its intelligence agencies. The dossier, quote: "concentrates on allegations that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's regime '''''had acquired uranium'', retained the ability to manufacture chemical and biological weapons and was developing long-range missiles.'''" Even the UK's opposition Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman Edward Davey conceded that, "The core analysis of the threat allegedly posed by Iraq is the same in both documents." <ref>http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/080218/world/britain_iraq_war_dossier_politics_intelligence_1</ref>

These allegations are not in dispute, as the quoted detractors in the article make clear when it says of them, "Campaigners have been pushing for it to be made public, claiming it could show that the final dossier -- in which it was claimed Iraq could launch WMD within 45 minutes -- was the work of government "spin doctors"."

Apart from whether Iraq could have launched WMD in that time frame, the core analysis shows ample reason and justification for beginning Operation Iraqi Freedom - including weapons grade uranium, the ability to launch long-range missiles at Western allies and the ability to manufacture at will chemical and biological weapons. Saddam was a WMD threat with malicious intent and although how close to launching such attacks he was remains in question, the fact he was one year from acquiring the bomb and was calling for attacks and agents to be in place (in the West) while developing missiles to deliver these weapons against allied Western targets, figured strongly in the case for war.

CNSNews.com reported that an Oct. 4, 2004, report by Cybercast News Service included 42 pages of Iraqi Intelligence Service memos that revealed '''Saddam's purchase of mustard gas and anthrax as recently as the summer of 2000 and his extensive ties to al Qaeda.''' Then in June, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) and U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) released declassified portions of an intelligence report that they said '''confirmed Saddam's possession of weapons of mass destruction''', including mustard gas. The report indicated that '''500 such weapons had been destroyed by the U.S.-led coalition since 2003''' and that the U.S. and its allies were racing against terrorist groups in trying to control the remaining weapons in Iraq. "It is essential for the American people to understand that these weapons are in Iraq," Santorum said during the news conference.<ref>https://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200607/NAT20060725a.html</ref>

'''How many WMD means Saddam had some?''' - Fox News reported on May 17, 2004 that a roadside bomb containing '''sarin nerve agent''' was confirmed to have exploded near a U.S. military convoy, but the incident was downplayed along with the note that mustard gas had also been found. Quote, '''"The Iraqi Survey Group confirmed today that a 155-millimeter artillery round containing sarin nerve agent had been found'''," Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, the chief military spokesman in Iraq, told reporters in Baghdad. "The round had been rigged as an IED (improvised explosive device) which was discovered by a U.S. force convoy." Bush administration officials told Fox News that '''mustard gas was also recently discovered'''.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,120137,00.html</ref>

Concluding that "the mustard gas was "stored improperly," which made the gas "ineffective,"" these deadly agents were ignored and the view that WMD do not exist remains remains perpetuated. The same Fox News article notes, "They believe the mustard gas shell may have been one of 550 projectiles for which former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein failed to account when he made his weapons declaration shortly before Operation Iraqi Freedom began last year. Iraq also failed to then account for 450 aerial bombs with mustard gas. That, combined with the shells, totaled about 80 tons of unaccounted for mustard gas. It also appears some top Pentagon officials were surprised by the sarin news; they thought the matter was classified, administration officials told Fox News."

ABC News reported on 7/1/2004 this article, "'''Polish troops find sarin warheads in Iraq'''" which stated, "Polish troops have found two warheads in Iraq believed to contain a deadly nerve agent. The two warheads were found in early June in a bunker in the area controlled by Polish forces, and they '''tested positive for cyclosarin''', a substance many times stronger than sarin, the ministry said in a statement. Another dozen were found later in June.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2004-07-01-poland-iraq-sarin_x.htm</ref> This finding was updated 2 days later as testing found that '''all sixteen rockets had initially showed traces of sarin''', but were now "all empty and tested negative for any type of chemicals." <ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A24403-2004Jul2.html</ref> The article went on to state, "In January 2003, U.N. inspectors discovered a dozen old 122-millimeter '''rockets that chief inspector Hans Blix described at the time as "designed to carry chemical weapons."''' Iraq later turned up several more, and all were destroyed. Blix later said he was not sure whether Iraq mentioned them in the 12,000-page weapons declaration it submitted in December 2002.

As for anthrax, on Jan 1st 2004, aim.org covered an article saying of Saddam's anthrax production capability, quote, "Investigative journalist Richard Miniter says there is evidence to indicate Saddam’s anthrax program was capable of producing the kind of anthrax that hit America shortly after 9/11. Miniter (said) that during November he interviewed '''U.S. weapons inspector Dr. David Kay''' in Baghdad and that he was "absolutely shocked and astonished" at the sophistication of the Iraqi program. Miniter said that Kay '''told him that, "the Iraqis had developed new techniques for drying and milling anthrax—techniques that were superior to anything the United States or the old Soviet Union had.''' That would make the former regime of Saddam Hussein the most sophisticated manufacturer of anthrax in the world."" <ref>http://www.aim.org/publications/media_monitor/2004/01/01.html</ref>

Democrats say Bush lied about the weapons of mass destruction. However, the Butler report and a British Intelligence Agency back up the claim that Saddam was trying to get uranium from Niger as early as 2002. To some criticism, there were some forged documents but these weren't the ones Bush was referring to.<ref>https://www.factcheck.org/article222.html</ref>

Saddam has used chemical weapons before so why would he change it now? <ref>http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB80/</ref>

===Saddam's Links to Al Qaeda===

BEFORE the United States went to war to depose the threat of Saddam to its Homeland, in March 2002 and February 2003, CIA Director George Tenet Testified that Iraq had clear ties to Al Qaeda. Coupled with the above statement by the NY Times article that they were only one year from a nuclear bomb and the sinister statements by the translator Tierney, along with the article about Saddam ordering preparation for suicide attacks on US targets before 911, the case for invading Iraq to secure the US from further destruction was both logical and justified.

'''In February 2003''', CIA Director George Tenet Testified That Iraq Had Links To Al Qaeda. TENET: "Iraq is harboring senior members of a terrorist network led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a close associate of al Qaeda. ... Iraq has in the past provided training in document forgery and bomb-making to al Qaeda. It has also provided training in poisons and gases to two al Qaeda associates. One of these associates characterized the relationship he forged with Iraqi officials as successful. ... I know that part of this - and part of this Zarqawi network in Baghdad are two dozen [[Egyptian Islamic Jihad|Egyptian Islamic jihad]] which is indistinguishable from al Qaeda - operatives who are aiding the Zarqawi network, and two senior planners who have been in Baghdad since last May.

Now, whether there is a base or whether there is not a base, they are operating freely, supporting the Zarqawi network that is supporting the poisons network in Europe and around the world. So these people have been operating there. And, as you know - I don't want to recount everything that Secretary Powell said, but as you know a foreign service went to the Iraqis twice to talk to them about Zarqawi and were rebuffed. So '''there is a presence in Baghdad that is beyond Zarqawi.'''" (George Tenet, Select Committee On Intelligence, U.S. Senate, Hearing, 2/11/03)

Tenet Testified That Iraq Was Providing Safe Haven To Al Qaeda. SEN. CARL LEVIN (D-MI): "Would you say, Mr. Tenet, that the Zarqawi terrorist network is under the control or sponsorship of the Iraqi government?" TENET: "I don't know that, sir, but '''I know that there's a safe haven that's been provided to this network in Baghdad'''." LEVIN: "So you're not - well, you're saying that you don't know if they're under the support - that they are under the control or direction?" TENET: "Yes, sir. We have said - '''what we've said is Zarqawi and this large number of operatives are in Baghdad'''. They say the environment is good. '''And it is inconceivable to us that the Iraqi intelligence service doesn't know that they live there or what they're doing.'''" (George Tenet, Select Committee On Intelligence, U.S. Senate, Hearing, 2/11/03)

'''In March 2002''', Tenet Testified On Iraq's Links To Al Qaeda. TENET: "We continue to watch Iraq's involvement in terrorists' activities. '''Baghdad has a long history of supporting terrorism, altering its targets to reflect changing priorities and goals. It is also had contacts with Al Qaeda'''." (George Tenet, Committee On Armed Services, U.S. Senate, Hearing, 3/19/02)<ref>https://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/09/20060915-4.html</ref>

As mentioned above, CNSNews.com reported that an Oct. 4, 2004, report by Cybercast News Service included 42 pages of Iraqi Intelligence Service memos that revealed '''Saddam's purchase of mustard gas and anthrax as recently as the summer of 2000 and his extensive ties to al Qaeda.''' <ref>https://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200607/NAT20060725a.html</ref>

In the article '''The proof that Saddam worked with bin Laden''' dated 27/04/2003 The Telegraph claimed to have found Iraqi intelligence documents in Baghdad which "provided evidence of a direct link between Osama bin Laden's al-Qa'eda terrorist network and Saddam Hussein's regime." It went on to state, "Papers found yesterday in the bombed headquarters of the Mukhabarat, Iraq's intelligence service, reveal that '''an al-Qa'eda envoy was invited clandestinely to Baghdad in March 1998. The documents show that the purpose of the meeting was to establish a relationship between Baghdad and al-Qa'eda based on their mutual hatred of America and Saudi Arabia'''. The meeting apparently went so well that it was extended by a week and ended with arrangements being discussed for bin Laden to visit Baghdad. Intriguingly, the Iraqis talk about sending back an oral message to bin Laden, perhaps aware of the risk of a written message being intercepted."

It is noteworthy that under '''President Clinton''', reported in February 1999, the article (still available to view on the net) titled, '''"Saddam link to Bin Laden" - Terror chief 'offered asylum' in Iraq?''' The article states, "Saddam Hussein's regime has opened talks with Osama bin Laden, bringing closer the threat of a terrorist attack using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, according to US intelligence sources and Iraqi opposition officials. The key meeting took place in the Afghan mountains near Kandahar in late December. News of the negotiations emerged in a week when the US attorney general, '''Janet Reno, warned the Senate that a terrorist attack involving weapons of mass destruction was a growing concern. "There's a threat, and it's real," Ms Reno said, adding that such weapons "are being considered for use."''' US embassies around the world are on heightened alert as a result of threats believed to emanate from followers of Bin Laden, who has been indicted by a US court for orchestrating the bombing last August of embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, in which 259 people died. US delegations in Africa and the Gulf have been shut down in recent weeks after credible threats were received. In this year's budget, '''President Clinton called for an additional $2 billion to spend on counter-terrorist measures...''' Ahmed Allawi, a senior member of the opposition Iraqi National Congress (INC), based in London, said he had heard reports of the December meeting which he believed to be accurate. '''"There is a long history of contacts between Mukhabarat [Iraqi secret service] and Osama bin Laden," he said. Mr Hijazi, formerly director of external operations for Iraqi intelligence offered Mr bin Laden asylum in Iraq, most likely in return for co-operation in launching attacks on US and Saudi targets.'''" <ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,314700,00.html</ref>

Bin Laden was a threat to the United States at the time Saddam was in power and his efforts have been ongoing in terrorism since Saddam's regime was toppled. His plots have included targeting the United States as disclosed May 22, 2007 in the article "'''White House says bin Laden ordered Iraq plots'''" where it cites newly declassified intelligence which states, "Osama bin Laden ordered al Qaeda's leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, to form a cell in 2005 to plot attacks outside of Iraq and '''make the United States his main target'''. Townsend said that in the spring of 2005 bin Laden also told Hamza Rabia, then al Qaeda's top operations man, to brief Zarqawi on the group's '''"external operations planning, including homeland plots (targeting the United States)'''." <ref>http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2007/05/23/white_house_says_bin_laden_ordered_iraq_plots/</ref>

Fox News reported March 23, 2008 that "Saddam Hussein’s Son Plotted London Assassination Attack", stating that "'''Saddam Hussein's son Uday planned to carry out an attack in London, England to assassinate''' the leader of an Iraqi opposition group in April 2000." Based on seized documents, Uday Hussein's elite paramilitary group — the Fedayeen — were given orders "'''to carry out ''assassinations and bombings'' in London''', the Times reported."

Further, "While the study showed no link between Saddam Hussein's regime and Al Qaeda, '''it does detail the former Iraq dictator's support for Middle Eastern terror groups, including those linked to Al Qaeda.''' Also in the report are memos showing Uday ordered officials to “'''start planning special ''operations''''' in the centres of the traitors’ symbols in the fields of '''London''' / Iran / self-ruled areas [Kurdish northern Iraq]”, it was reported." <ref>https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,340745,00.html</ref>
The Ba'athist party was a terror organization. Seeking additional support for terror in the region, Saddam was paying Palestine families $25,000 in U.S. dollars, if their sons blew themselves up in Israel<ref>http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/03/25/1017004766310.html , Sydney Morning Herald Saddam stokes war with suicide bomber cash, March 26, 2002</ref>

This June 29, 2010 article shows proof that '''"both Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda supported Ansar al Islam, a Jihadist Kurdish outfit that has tried to kill the current Kurdish prime minister, Barham Salih. In 2008, the Institute for Defense Analyses released a more thorough report on Iraq's involvement in terrorism between the two gulf wars that was based on more than 600,000 captured Iraqi documents."'''

The report uncovers many different '''points of connection between Saddam and al Qaeda''', including evidence that the IIS funded Ayman Zawahiri in the early 1990s when he was the head of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. The IIS also sought out suicide bombers to attack the Saudi royal family, and Iraq also sought to send assistance to jihadists fighting U.S. peacekeepers in Somalia in the early 1990s as well. This says nothing of Saddam's support for Hamas and other Palestinians suicide bombers in the second intifada.

'''The report also undercuts the claim that Saddam Hussein, being a secular Ba'athist, was incapable of cooperating with radical Islamists who viewed the Iraqi dictator as an apostate ruler. Instead, the report said that Iraq's relationship to radical Islamic terrorist groups was more like the relationship between rival Colombian cocaine cartels, in that it was possible for wary cooperation on mutual short-term goals, and then violent competition later.'''

In addition to the IDA report, which I think is more definitive because it is an analysis of documents captured during the war and not simply derived from interviews with captured senior leaders, there are other good reasons to think''' Iraq and al Qaeda had more of a relationship than widely believed by the net left'''. Carl Ford, the head of the State Department's Intelligence and Research bureau before the war wrote in a memo in 2003, "We have some evidence that Iraqi Intelligence has been in contact with elements in the northeastern area. And '''the al-Qaeda operatives there are in regular contact with other operatives located in Baghdad. The Iraqi government has also received information from other sources alerting it to the presence of al-Qaeda operatives in Baghdad.'''" Carl Ford in an interview with PBS Frontline has stood by his contention that '''''al Qaeda operatives were flooding into Iraq before the war.'''''

===Summary update on WMD and Iraq/terrorist/Al Qaeda connections NOT being falsified===

The Los Angeles Times article, '''"Bush never lied to us about Iraq - ''The administration simply got bad intelligence. Critics are wrong to assert deception.''"''' By [[James Kirchick]], June 16, 2008, a great deal of summary about these two previous sections on WMD and links to the Al Qaeda are given. The article states that, "Nearly every prominent Democrat in the country has repeated some version of the charge.. that the Bush administration deceived the American people. Yet in spite of all the accusations of White House "manipulation"—that it pressured intelligence analysts into connecting Hussein and Al Qaeda and concocted evidence about weapons of mass destruction—administration critics continually demonstrate an inability to distinguish making claims based on flawed intelligence from knowingly propagating falsehoods." <ref>https://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-kirchick16-2008jun16,0,4808346.story</ref>

In 2004, '''the Senate Intelligence Committee''' unanimously approved a report acknowledging that it '''''"did not find any evidence that administration officials attempted to coerce, influence or pressure analysts to change their judgments."''''' The following year, the bipartisan Robb-Silberman report similarly found '''''"no indication that the intelligence community distorted the evidence regarding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction."'' '''

Even concerning '''the Senate Intelligence Committee report issued June 5, 2008''', quote, "what did this report actually find? That '''Iraq-Al Qaeda links were ''"substantiated by intelligence information."'' The same goes for claims about Hussein's possession of biological and chemical weapons, as well as his alleged operation of a nuclear weapons program'''."

The article contends that if Democrats wish to contend they were "misled" into war, they should vent their spleen at the CIA. It then asserts, "'''This may sound like ancient history, but it matters.''' After Sept. 11, President Bush did not want to risk allowing Hussein, who had twice invaded neighboring nations, murdered more than 1 million Iraqis and stood in violation of 16 U.N. Security Council resolutions, to remain in possession of what he believed were stocks of chemical and biological warheads and a nuclear weapons program. By glossing over this history, the Democrats' lies-led-to-war narrative provides false comfort in a world of significant dangers." <ref>https://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-kirchick16-2008jun16,0,4808346.story</ref>

'''Washington Post Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt''' also brought out what Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee found in their June 5, 2008 report, saying, quote:
<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/08/AR2008060801687.html</ref>

There's no question that the administration, and particularly Vice President Cheney, spoke with too much certainty at times and failed to anticipate or prepare the American people for the enormous undertaking in Iraq.

But dive into [Sen. Jay] Rockefeller's report, in search of where exactly President Bush lied about what his intelligence agencies were telling him about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, and you may be surprised by what you find.

'''On Iraq's nuclear weapons program?''' ''The president's statements "were generally substantiated by intelligence community estimates." ''

'''On biological weapons, production capability and those infamous mobile laboratories?''' ''The president's statements "were substantiated by intelligence information."''

'''On chemical weapons, then?''' ''"Substantiated by intelligence information."''

'''On weapons of mass destruction overall (a separate section of the intelligence committee report)?''' ''"Generally substantiated by intelligence information."''

'''Delivery vehicles such as ballistic missiles?''' ''"Generally substantiated by available intelligence."''

'''Unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to deliver WMDs?''' ''"Generally substantiated by intelligence information." ''

As you read through the report, you begin to think maybe you've mistakenly picked up the minority dissent. But, no, this is the Rockefeller indictment. So, you think, the smoking gun must appear in the section on Bush's claims about Saddam Hussein's alleged ties to terrorism.

But statements regarding '''Iraq's support for terrorist groups other than al-Qaeda''' ''"were substantiated by intelligence information."''

'''Statements that Iraq provided safe haven for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and other terrorists with ties to al-Qaeda''' ''"were substantiated by the intelligence assessments,"'' '''and statements regarding Iraq's contacts with al-Qaeda''' ''"were substantiated by intelligence information."''

The report is left to complain about "implications" and statements that "left the impression" that those contacts led to substantive Iraqi cooperation.

Hiatt then noted what the Republican part of the report said, '''''"the reports essentially validate what we have been saying all along: that policymakers' statements were substantiated by the intelligence." '''''

==The Duelfer Report==

In 2004, the [[Iraq Survey Group]], ISG, whose intelligence analysts are managed by Charles Duelfer, a former State Department official and deputy chief of the U.N.-led arms-inspection teams, released what has been called the [[Duelfer Report]].<ref>https://www.cia.gov/cia/reports/iraq_wmd_2004/index.html</ref> The ISG found "hundreds of cases of activities that were prohibited" under U.N. Security Council resolutions, a senior administration official was quoted as saying.<ref>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38213</ref> '''Both Duelfer and his predecessor, David Kay, reported to Congress that the evidence they had found on the ground in Iraq showed Saddam's regime was in "material violation" of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441,''' the last of 17 resolutions that promised "serious consequences" if Iraq did not make a complete disclosure of its weapons programs and dismantle them in a verifiable manner. The United States cited Iraq's refusal to comply with these demands as one justification for going to war.

When former weapons inspector Kay reported to Congress in January that the United States had found "no stockpiles" of forbidden weapons in Iraq, his conclusions made front-page news, as did Duelfer's similarly worded conclusion in his report. But when Kay detailed what the ISG had found in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, few took notice.

Both Duelfer and Kay found Iraq had "a clandestine network of laboratories and safe houses with equipment that was suitable to continuing its prohibited chemical- and biological-weapons [BW] programs," the official said. "They found a prison laboratory where we suspect they tested biological weapons on human subjects." '''"Reference strains" of a wide variety of biological-weapons agents were found beneath the sink in the home of a prominent Iraqi BW scientist'''. "We thought it was a big deal," a senior administration official said. "But it has been written off [by the press] as a sort of 'starter set.'" They found equipment for "uranium-enrichment centrifuges" whose only plausible use was as part of a clandestine nuclear-weapons program. In all these cases, "Iraqi scientists had been told before the war not to declare their activities to the U.N. inspectors," the official said.

In testimony before Congress on March 30, '''Duelfer revealed the ISG had found evidence of a "crash program" to construct new plants capable of making chemical- and biological-warfare agents'''. The ISG also found a previously undeclared program to build a "high-speed rail gun," a device apparently designed for testing nuclear-weapons materials. That came in addition to 500 tons of natural uranium stockpiled at Iraq's main declared nuclear site south of Baghdad.

How did this happen? According to the Duelfer Report, half of the picture rests with entities outside Iraq. Saddam was trying to end the UN sanctions to pursue his conventional, dual-use, and WMD-related programs. In Saddam's efforts to influence United Nations Security Council members - namely Russia, France, and China - to end sanctions, Saddam's ordered the Iraq Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) to formulate and implement a strategy aimed at these Security Council members and international public opinion with the purpose of ending UN sanctions by diplomatic and economic means. Saddam also made use of “Protocols” or government-to-government economic trade agreements to generate a large amount of revenue outside the purview of the UN. His success emboldened Saddam to pursue his reconstitution efforts of conventional, dual-use, and WMD-related programs starting in 1997.<ref>Duelfer Report, Vol. 1, Regime Finance and Procurement, p. 9 (pdf)</ref> Quote: "'''By 2000-2001, Saddam had managed to mitigate many of the effects of sanctions and undermine their international support," the (Duelfer) report said.''' <ref>http://washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20041007-092535-2936r.htm</ref>

The Regime's authorities devised front companies that had close relationships with foreign government officials who worked to procure illicit goods, services, and technologies for Iraq's WMD-related, conventional arms, and/or dual-use goods programs. Saddam used the ''Mukhabarat'', or Iraqi Intelligence Servise (IIS) to facilitate importation of UN sanctioned and dual-use goods through Syria, Jordan, Belarus, Turkey and others. Numerous foreign trade intermediaries disguised illicit items, hid the identity of the end user, and/or changed the final destination of the item to move it to the region. For a cut of the profits they smuggled prohibited items to entry points along the Iraqi border. Companies in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, UAE, and Yemen assisted Saddam with the acquisition of prohibited items through deceptive trade practices. In the case of Syria and Yemen, this included support from agencies or personnel within the government itself.

===Regime Intent===

The Iraqi Survey Group in interrogations of Ba'athist officials from the leadership of the intelligence and security services, and Qusay's inner circle, undertook interviews of Ba'athists in custody. Some detainees’ statements were made to minimize their culpability leading to potential prosecution. Detainees were very concerned about their fate and were not willing to implicate themselves in sensitive matters of interest such as WMD, in light of looming prosecutions. Debriefers noted the tendency to place blame or knowledge with individuals who were not in a position to contradict the detainee's statements, such as deceased individuals or individuals who were not in custody or who had fled the country, or providing debriefers with previously known information. Some former high-ranking officials, such as ‘Ali Hasan Al Majid Al Tikriti (Chemical ‘Ali), never gave substantial information, despite speaking colorfully and at length. Some obstructed all attempts to elicit information on WMD and illicit activities of the former Regime. Others, however, were keen to help clarify every issue, sometimes to the point of self-incrimination.

'''The ISG's key findings stated that Saddam never abandoned his intentions to resume a chemical weapons effort when sanctions were lifted'''. Saddam and many Iraqis regarded chemical weapons as a proven weapon against an enemy's superior numerical strength, a weapon that had saved the nation at least once already—during the [[Iran-Iraq war]]— and contributed to deterring the Coalition in 1991 from advancing to Baghdad. After 1991, Saddam did express his intent to retain the intellectual capital, or the know-how that was developed during the Iraqi Nuclear Program. Saddam indicated that he would develop the weapons necessary to counter any Iranian threat. Starting around 1992, in a bid to retain the intellectual core of the former weapons program workers with know-how, Baghdad transferred many nuclear scientists to related jobs in the Military Industrial Commission (MIC). The work undertaken by these scientists at the MIC helped them maintain their weapons knowledge base. '''The Regime prevented scientists from the former nuclear weapons program from leaving either their jobs or Iraq'''. Moreover, in the late 1990s, personnel from both MIC and the IAEC received significant pay raises in a bid to retain them, and the Regime undertook new investments in university research in a bid to ensure that Iraq retained technical knowledge.

The way Iraq organized its chemical industry after the mid-1990s allowed it to conserve the knowledge-base needed to restart a CW program, conduct a modest amount of dual-use research, and partially recover from the decline of its production capability caused by the effects of the Gulf war and UN-sponsored destruction and sanctions. Iraq implemented a rigorous and formalized system of nationwide research and production of chemicals. The Regime employed a cadre of trained and experienced researchers, production managers, and weaponization experts from the former CW program. Iraq constructed a number of new plants starting in the mid-1990s that enhanced its chemical infrastructure.

'''ISG judged, based on available chemicals, infrastructure, and scientist debriefings, that Iraq at OIF probably had a capability to produce large quantities of sulfur mustard within three to six months'''. A former nerve agent expert indicated that Iraq retained the capability to produce nerve agent in significant quantities within two years, given the import of required phosphorus precursors. However, we have no credible indications that Iraq acquired or attempted to acquire large quantities of these chemicals through its existing procurement networks for sanctioned items. In addition to new investment in its industry, Iraq was able to monitor the location and use of all existing dualuse process equipment. This provided Iraq the ability to rapidly reallocate key equipment for proscribed activities, if required by the Regime.

Iraq's historical ability to implement simple solutions to weaponization challenges allowed Iraq to retain the capability to weaponize CW agent when the need arose. Iraq could indigenously produce a range of conventional munitions, throughout the 1990s, many of which had previously been adapted for filling with CW agent.

Saddam's Leadership Defense Plan consisted of a tactical doctrine taught to all Iraqi officers and included the concept of a “red-line” or last line of defense. Uday — head of the Fedayeen Saddam — attempted to obtain chemical weapons for use during OIF. '''ISG uncovered information that the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) maintained throughout 1991 to 2003 a set of undeclared covert laboratories to research and test various chemicals and poisons''', primarily for intelligence operations. The existence, function, and purpose of the laboratories of which were never declared to the UN. The IIS program included the use of human subjects for testing purposes.

The IIS provided the BW program with security and participated in biological research, probably for its own purposes, from the beginning of Iraq's BW effort in the early 1970s until the final days of Saddam Husayn's Regime. In 1991, Saddam Husayn regarded BW as an integral element of his arsenal of WMD weapons, and would have used it if the need arose. At a meeting of the Iraqi leadership immediately prior to the Gulf war in 1991, Saddam Husayn personally authorized the use of BW weapons against Israel, Saudi Arabia and US forces. Saddam envisaged all-out use. For example, all Israeli cities were to be struck and all the BW weapons at his disposal were to be used. Saddam specified that the “many years” agents, presumably anthrax spores, were to be employed against his foes. '''ISG judged that Iraq's actions between 1991 and 1996 demonstrate that the state intended to preserve its BW capability and return to a steady, methodical progress toward a mature BW program when and if the opportunity arose'''.

===Misreporting the Duelfer Report===

As ''The Washington Times'' reported in their editorial titled "'''Misreporting the Duelfer Report"''' <ref>http://washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20041007-092535-2936r.htm</ref> the day following its release, October 8, 2004, quote: ""Gotcha, Mr. President." This was the consensus of the headlines from nearly every daily newspaper yesterday responding to the CIA's Iraq Survey Group report on Iraq's prewar weapons programs. Yes, the report found no ''stockpiles'' of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq since the war began in March 2003. But '''were these the findings that the report highlighted in the first line of its Key Findings summary? No.''' "Saddam [Hussein] so dominated the Iraqi Regime that its strategic intent was his alone," the summary begins. "He wanted to end sanctions while preserving the capability to reconstitute his weapons of mass destruction (WMD) when sanctions were lifted." This hardly sounds as if the Iraq Survey Group, headed by Charles A. Duelfer, thought Saddam was cooperating with the international community.

The article goes on to explain that Saddam was attempting to get the sanctions lifted, targeting the three members of the Security Council - France, China and Russia - and then he intended to use the Oil for Food program "to acquire foreign exchange both to further undermine sanctions and to provide the means to enhance dual-use infrastructure and potential WMD-related development." Then notes, '''"While the United Nations turned a blind eye, Saddam cheated and committed mass murder in an effort to achieve his goals. To suggest that "containment" could have been sustained without dire results verges on the delusional.''' There is a very pertinent lesson in the Duelfer report; too bad no one told the headline writers."

===Threat Level Concern===

It is worth noting the following concerning a current controversy about the level of threat Saddam posed. If you consider the terrorists as various minority factions all working toward the same goal, as stated by Mr. Kraft on this page when he says, '''"there is ''a very dangerous minority in Islam'' that either has, or wants and may soon have, the ability to deliver small nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons almost anywhere in the world, unless ''they'' are prevented from doing so.'''" It doesn't matter which of these factions would have been used to specifically target the civilized world in a nuclear or biological/chemical attack. Although recently the extent of Saddam's ties to one specific group (the Al-Qaeda terrorists) has been questioned and a recent article stated that ''the Iraqi government and al-Qaeda figures had only limited contacts,'' the same article goes on to say concerning Al-Qaeda that '''"it lacked evidence of a long-term relationship ''like the ones Iraq had forged with other terrorist groups."''''' <ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/05/AR2007040502263.html</ref> Therefore, it is known that Saddam had forged long-term relationships with known terrorist GROUPS (plural) and so it was not that there was no threat from any terrorists groups, just that the threat would have come from those OTHER terrorists as the threat to the collective security of the civilized world if the US hadn't taken out Saddam.

It also remains to be seen if the ties with Al-Qaeda would have remained "limited" if that group had stepped up and volunteered to take the completed nuclear weapons from Saddam (which he would have had within a year according to ''The New York Times'' - see the WMD section, this page) into Washington and detonate them using sophisticated and existing sleeper cell suicide bombers as Saddam was contemplating. It appears likely that Saddam would have listened and handed them his stocks of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons by his statements (see Mr. Tierney's translation on this page). From his past actions, Saddam was an equal opportunity employer for all the terrorist groups.. including those they admit in this report with whom he had ''"long-term relationships."'' As Mr. Kraft observes, it is many ''"barbarian'''s'''''" at our gates with sophisticated weapons of mass destruction for the first time, not only one group (Al-Qaeda.) It is global in scope, hence the reason for calling this a '''"Global War on Terror"''' not a "War on Terror in Iraq." As such, it is a fight for world supremacy, and the civilized world would do well not to ignore or minimize what the civilized world is fighting over.

===Accusations of Cover-Ups===

While both parties continue to squabble over the above documents and claims, quote, "Both Republicans and Democrats charged the other side was trying using the release of more information for its political purposes," <ref>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51952</ref> there were others who claimed there were cover-ups happening to stop further evidence becoming public. A NYsun article states, "'''A former special investigator for the Pentagon during the Iraq war said he found four sealed underground bunkers in southern Iraq that he is sure contain stocks of chemical and biological weapons.''' But when he asked American weapons inspectors to check out the sites, he was rebuffed. Between March and July 2003, Mr. Gaubatz was taken by (his) sources to four locations - three in and around Nasiriyah and one near the port of Umm Qasr, where he was shown underground concrete bunkers with the tunnels leading to them deliberately flooded. In each case, he was told the facilities contained stocks of biological and chemical weapons, along with missiles whose range exceeded that mandated under U.N. sanctions. But because the facilities were sealed off with concrete walls, in some cases up to 5 feet thick, he did not get inside. He filed reports with photographs, exact grid coordinates, and testimony from multiple sources. And then he waited for the Iraq Survey Group to come to the sites. "I have no doubts the sites were never exploited by ISG. We agents begged and begged for weeks and months to get ISG to respond to the sites with the proper equipment," Mr. Gaubatz said in a telephone interview. "An adequate search would have required heavy equipment to uncover the concrete, and additional equipment to drain the water." Mr. Gaubatz would not disclose the names of his Iraqi sources, but he said they were "highly credible" by his supervisors.<ref>https://www.nysun.com/article/27183?access=890075</ref>

In the exhaustive search for WMDs in Iraq, CNN has left all stones unturned - or have they? These are the words right out of the mouth of CNN reporter Jane Arraf,<ref>http://www.cjr.org/iraq/chapt1.html</ref> quote: "And if you had a bureau there, like we did, and it was a known bureau and a known company like CNN was, it was a beacon for everybody. It was a beacon for Iraqis who believed they had stories. Iraqis would show up, there would be Iraqis lined up outside the door. '''There... would be the Iraqis who told you they had nuclear documents in their basement and would you like to come and look [laughter]. You know, there was almost that pang when you turned somebody away, [you were] thinking, “Damn, maybe this guy really does have nuclear weapons in his basement, but I don’t have time.” So you never really knew."'''

==Costs==

''(Needs more statistics)''
Since the war is not yet over, the total cost has yet to be tallied. However, the [[Congressional Budget Office]] estimates that the war has, as of 3/12/2007, cost less than $400 Billion.<ref>[http://www.newstatesman.com/200703120024 Iraq: the hidden cost of the war]</ref> The National Priorities Project, though, indicates that the war costs some $195,000 '''per minute''', according to numbers based on Congressional appropriations, and the tally had reached $412.8 billion as of 3/30/2007.<ref>http://nationalpriorities.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=182</ref> A 2008 study estimated that the Iraq War cost the United States $12 billion a month.<ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080310/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_war_costs;_ylt=ApGg20eC4zcjyEaIxwc8CC6s0NUE Studies: Iraq costs US $12 billion per month]</ref> This makes the Iraq war the most expensive endeavor in U.S. history.

==Death Toll Under Saddam Versus War==

According to the current government of Iraq, it is estimated that well over one million Iraqis were murdered by or "disappeared" under the rule of Saddam's regime.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/09/23/allawi.transcript/</ref> By the time of the invasion, Saddam's regime was killing people at a rate of 15 to 20 thousand per year.<ref>https://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/003/889tngrz.asp?page=3&pg=2</ref> According to the US Army War College, the 1988 gassing of the Kurds was greatly exaggerated.<ref>http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/helms.html</ref><ref>https://www.jstor.org/stable/40276361?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents</ref>

Methods of torture employed by Saddam's regime included: amputation of tongues, crucifixion, eye-gouging, genital electric shock, gang rape, mutilation with electric drills and vats of acid, imprisonment in confined spaces in darkness for years at a time, and the amputation of limbs. However, the shredder turned out to be false.<ref>https://www.spectator.co.uk/2004/02/not-a-shred-of-evidence/</ref>

Veteran BBC correspondent John Sweeney said during Saddam's rule: "I have been to Baghdad a number of times. Being in Iraq is like creeping around inside someone else’s migraine. The fear is so omnipresent you could almost eat it. No one talks."

Saddam's deliberate manipulation of the sanctions regime cost the lives of tens if not hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, most of whom were women and children.<ref>http://www.fas.org/news/iraq/1999/09/iraq99.htm</ref> Researcher Richard Garfield estimated "a minimum of 100,000 and a more likely estimate of 227,000 excess deaths among young children from August 1991 through March 1998" from all causes including sanctions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.casi.org.uk/info/garfield/dr-garfield.html |title=Morbidity and Mortality Among Iraqi Children |publisher=Casi.org.uk |date= |accessdate=2009-06-15}}</ref> It is a matter of public record that the sanctions specifically exempted food and medicine; that they applied only to weaponry; that Iraq had far more humanitarian supplies available to it under the Oil For Food program (first offered to Iraq in 1992) than it would have had over the same period based on the trends that existed ''before'' the Gulf War; and that excess deaths did not occur in the North of Iraq, where the US and UN administered the same program under the same sanctions regime, but only in those parts of Iraq were Saddam was charged with rationing the humanitarian supplies.<ref>http://www.fas.org/news/iraq/1999/09/iraq99.htm</ref> The number of deaths Saddam caused by refusing to allow aid to reach his people for propaganda purposes is disputed, but his cynical nature can be observed by the fact that he wildly exaggerated the number of people he was killing in order to blame them all on the UN and US. Since the fall of Saddam, independent research from the CIA has found that roughly 5,000 children were dying every year from Saddam's manipulation of the sanctions, in addition to the 3 or 4 times that number he was killing annually by other means.<ref>http://confederateyankee.mu.nu/archives/224705.php</ref> Therefore, by 2013, Saddam would have killed (roughly) between 200,000 and 250,000 Iraqis had he remained in power.

It has long been suspected that Saddam, based on his annual rate of killing, must have killed (conservatively) at least half a million people in executions.<ref>https://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/003/889tngrz.asp?page=3&pg=2</ref> Since his fall, the Documental Center For Human Rights in Iraq and other human rights organizations have been able to document more than 600,000 political murders perpetrated by the former regime based on its own records.<ref>http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/03/17/1047749719178.html</ref> The real toll may be higher. In addition, Saddam's bloody purges and pogroms against the Kurds (including the Anfal campaign, in which as many as 182,000 were killed) throughout the eighties and early nineties, left as many as 300,000 dead.<ref>http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat3.htm#Kurdistan2</ref> Saddam's 1991 crackdown killed 90,000 or more individuals, while the Gulf War killed roughly 10,000<ref>http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat6.htm</ref> including 2,000 Kuwaiti and 1,000 Iraqi civilians. If one assumes that Saddam's manipulation of the sanctions regime resulted in the deaths of about 200,000 Iraqis, in total Saddam was probably responsible for the deaths of over 1,200,000 Iraqis, or 5% of the population.

===Coalition Troop Casualties===
[[Image:Iraq War Memorial Lafayette CA.JPEG|thumb|Iraq War Memorial Lafayette CA.]]
According to the US Department of Defense, over 4,200 U.S. and 300 troops from coalition countries have died in the war. Over 30,000 U.S. troops have been wounded in combat.<ref>[http://www.defenselink.mil Department of Defense]</ref> Despite a dramatic decrease in violence in the latter half of the year, 2007 was the worst year in Iraq in terms of U.S. casualties. Over 900 American troops died or went [[missing in action]] during the year.<ref>[http://www.icasualties.org Iraq War casualties]</ref>

===Enemy Casualties===
In March, 2007, Larry Schweikart, Professor of History at the University of Dayton and a military historian, calculated that, "a low estimate of 30,000 terrorists have been killed since 9/11, and an upperbound number of 60,000. On top of that, between 120 and 240,000 terrorists have been wounded. This is where it gets tricky. Likely because their medicine isn’t as good as ours, they have a higher death rate among wounded, which probably means that instead of 1 out of 8 dying of wounds, it’s more like 3 out of 8, and that number is in my first set of stats. In addition, we have captured close to 50,000 terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq since 9/11, and since the beginning of hostilities in Iraq, using traditional desertion rates, I figure at least another 10,000 jihadists have put away the old IED and gone home. So, a low estimate is that we have removed from the order of battle about 210,000 on the low end to 360,000 on the high end. This is an entire generation of jihadists, and will, if nothing else, significantly feminize Muslim society."<ref>http://newsbyus.com/more.php?id=7673_0_1_0_M</ref>

===Civilian Casualties===
The anti-war Iraq Body Count website has chronicled and tallied virtually all reported Iraqi civilian deaths from the war that have multiple sources in print, coming to a present total of 98-107,000 deaths.<ref>http://www.iraqbodycount.org/</ref> However, this sum certainly understates the case to a considerable extent, given that the total number of deaths could not all have been reported and tallied. On November 11, 2006, Iraqi Health Minister Ali al-Shamari estimated that between 100,000 and 150,000 civilians had been killed during the war.<ref>[http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2006/11/11/2003335773 Iraq death toll may go as high as 150,000]</ref> A 2008 estimate by the [[World Health Organization]] placed the civilian death toll at 151,000.<ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080110/wl_nm/iraq_deaths_survey_dc 151,000 Iraqis killed since U.S.-led invasion: WHO]</ref>
Based on a careful analysis of IBC's figures, only 1-2% of Iraqi civilian deaths during the occupation were caused by US troops, and the rest by the insurgency they were combating.<ref>http://www.aina.org/news/2007110894701.jsp</ref> The American army in Iraq has taken ''three times'' as many casualties as it has inflicted on Iraqi civilians in collateral damage, which must be a first in the history of military occupation.<ref>http://www.aina.org/news/2007110894701.jsp</ref> The US invasion killed an additional 3,000<ref>http://www.comw.org/pda/0310rm8.html</ref> to 7,000<ref>http://www.iraqbodycount.org/analysis/numbers/year-four/</ref> Iraqi civilians, and at least 7,600–10,800 Iraqi combatants.<ref>http://www.comw.org/pda/0310rm8.html</ref>

In 2006, the Lancet medical journal published an extremely high estimate of 655,000 civilian deaths caused by the war. These figures have been extensively discredited, with the following summary from the IBC being the most succicent explanation:
<blockquote>
The Iraqi mortality estimates published in the Lancet in October 2006 imply, among other things, that:

On average, a thousand Iraqis have been violently killed every single day in the first half of 2006, with less than a tenth of them being noticed by any public surveillance mechanisms; some 800,000 or more Iraqis suffered blast wounds and other serious conflict-related injuries in the past two years, but less than a tenth of them received any kind of hospital treatment; over 7% of the entire adult male population of Iraq has already been killed in violence, with no less than 10% in the worst affected areas covering most of central Iraq; half a million death certificates were received by families which were never officially recorded as having been issued; the Coalition has killed far more Iraqis in the last year than in earlier years containing the initial massive "Shock and Awe" invasion and the major assaults on Falluja. If these assertions are true, they further imply: Incompetence and/or fraud on a truly massive scale by Iraqi officials in hospitals and ministries, on a local, regional and national level, perfectly coordinated from the moment the occupation began; bizarre and self-destructive behaviour on the part of all but a small minority of 800,000 injured, mostly non-combatant, Iraqis; the utter failure of local or external agencies to notice and respond to a decimation of the adult male population in key urban areas; and an abject failure of the media, Iraqi as well as international, to observe that Coalition-caused events of the scale they reported during the three-week invasion in 2003 have been occurring every month for over a year. In the light of such extreme and improbable implications, a rational alternative conclusion to be considered is that the authors have drawn conclusions from unrepresentative data. In addition, totals of the magnitude generated by this study are unnecessary to brand the invasion and occupation of Iraq a human and strategic tragedy.<ref>http://www.iraqbodycount.org/analysis/beyond/reality-checks/</ref>
</blockquote>

'''In September 2011, the Lancet themselves retracted this overinflated casualty figure, revising it down from 655,000 to 108,624''', quote, "The corrupt Lancet journal this week announced that 108,624 Iraqis were killed during the Iraq War not 655,000 as they previously reported. CNN reported:

Suicide bombers are responsible for killing more than 12,000 Iraqi civilians and wounding more than 30,000 since the war began, according to study released by the British medical journal Lancet.

'''The study found''' that 1,003 documented suicide bombings accounted for 12,284 of '''108,624 Iraqi civilian deaths''', 11% of those killed between March 20, 2003, and December 31, 2010.

<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/meast/09/04/iraq.suicide.bomb.casualties/index.html?hpt=hp_t2</ref><ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/09/corrupt-leftists-at-lancet-now-say-108000-iraqis-were-killed-in-war-not-655000</ref>

A far more comprehensive and exact survey, using the same exact methods as the Lancet but with a massively larger number of interviews spread out further across the country, found 151,000 civilians had died in the conflict.<ref>http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2008/pr02/en/index.html</ref> Because this was three times higher than the IBC estimate at the time,<ref>http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2008/pr02/en/index.html</ref> it would indicate a total sum of approximately 300,000 Iraqis as of today. This is probably an absolute ''maximum'' estimate because the ratio of 1 out of every 3 deaths being recorded by the IBC has been altered considerably by the great decline in violence following the surge, so that the IBC's recent figures are much more inclusive of the total sum than its earlier findings.

Columnist [[Christopher Hitchens]], who supports the war, has boldly argued that the estimates of the death toll are irrelevant:

<blockquote>
Here is the clinching and obvious point: Saddam Hussein is not going to survive. His regime is on the verge of implosion. It has long passed the point of diminishing returns. Like the Ceausescu edifice in Romania, it is a pyramid balanced on its apex (its powerbase a minority of the Sunni minority), and when it falls, all the consequences of a post-Saddam Iraq will be with us anyway. To suggest that these consequences—-Sunni-Shi'a rivalry, conflict over the boundaries of Kurdistan, possible meddling from Turkey or Iran, vertiginous fluctuations in oil prices and production, social chaos—-are attributable only to intervention is to be completely blind to the impending reality. The choices are two and only two: to experience these consequences with an American or international presence or to watch them unfold as if they were none of our business.<ref>http://www.slate.com/?id=2073634</ref>
</blockquote>

==Summary of Justifications for the Iraq War Taken From This Entry==

If President Bush had not removed Saddam Hussein we now know that, QUOTE: ''The New York Times'' confirmed in their issue November 3, 2006, Saddam had complete plans for a nuclear weapon and was in the process of procuring parts when the US removed him. Quote: "nuclear experts who have viewed them say go beyond what is available elsewhere on the Internet and in other public forums. For instance, the papers give detailed information on how to build nuclear firing circuits and triggering explosives, as well as the radioactive cores of atom bombs. Experts say that at the time, Mr. Hussein’s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away." <ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/03/world/middleeast/03documents.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1&ei=5094&en=1511d6b3da302d4f&hp&ex=1162530000&partner=homepage</ref> (end quote)

And we know that Saddam was discussing using WMD on Washington, DC (remember/keep-in-mind his soon nuclear capability from the last paragraph), QUOTE: In the article, "Saddam Translator: ABC Reinterpreted Tapes" dated Feb. 17th 2006, the FBI translator who supplied the 12 hours of Saddam Hussein audiotapes excerpted by ABC's "Nightline" says the network discarded his translations and went with a less threatening version of the Iraqi dictator's comments. In the "Nightline" version of the 1996 recording, Saddam predicts that Washington, D.C., would be hit by terrorists. But he adds that Iraq would have nothing to do with the attack. Tierney says, however, that what Saddam actually said was much more sinister. "He was discussing his intent to use chemical weapons against the United States and use proxies so it could not be traced back to Iraq," he told Hannity. In a passage not used by "Nightline," Tierney says Saddam declares: "Terrorism is coming. ... In the future there will be terrorism with weapons of mass destruction. What if we consider this technique, with smuggling?" <ref>https://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/2/17/125334.shtml</ref> (end quote)

President Bush's decision to depose Saddam Hussein meant that this plan Saddam was discussing in these tapes here - or with the atomic nuclear capacity he was to possess within a year - never came into execution. It is credible that literally MILLIONS of Americans are alive today because Saddam was stopped before he had the ability to put his plans into action. We know he had ties to terrorists, including, QUOTE:

In the article "The proof that Saddam worked with bin Laden" dated 27/04/2003 The Telegraph claimed to have found Iraqi intelligence documents in Baghdad which "provided evidence of a direct link between Osama bin Laden's al-Qa'eda terrorist network and Saddam Hussein's regime." It went on to state, "Papers found yesterday in the bombed headquarters of the Mukhabarat, Iraq's intelligence service, reveal that an al-Qa'eda envoy was invited clandestinely to Baghdad in March 1998. The documents show that the purpose of the meeting was to establish a relationship between Baghdad and al-Qa'eda based on their mutual hatred of America and Saudi Arabia. The meeting apparently went so well that it was extended by a week and ended with arrangements being discussed for bin Laden to visit Baghdad. Intriguingly, the Iraqis talk about sending back an oral message to bin Laden, perhaps aware of the risk of a written message being intercepted." The article ends, "The file contradicts the that there was no link between the Iraqi regime and al-Qa'eda." <ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/04/27/walq27.xml</ref> Additional citations of the documentation are given by The Telegraph in their article titled, "'We'll pay all expenses to gain the knowledge from bin Laden and convey a message back" which is a quote from the documentation itself.<ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=3NQI3V5KB2T53QFIQMFCFGGAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2003/04/27/walq127.xml</ref> The intelligence documents are again cited by a Canadian eyewitness source in "Saddam, bin Laden link found: Canadian reporter" <ref>
http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/2003/04/26/saddam_osama030426.html</ref>

It is noteworthy that under President Clinton, reported in February 1999, the article (still available to view on the net) titled, "Saddam link to Bin Laden" - Terror chief 'offered asylum' in Iraq?" The article states, "Saddam Hussein's regime has opened talks with Osama bin Laden, bringing closer the threat of a terrorist attack using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, according to US intelligence sources and Iraqi opposition officials. The key meeting took place in the Afghan mountains near Kandahar in late December. News of the negotiations emerged in a week when the US attorney general, Janet Reno, warned the Senate that a terrorist attack involving weapons of mass destruction was a growing concern. "There's a threat, and it's real," Ms Reno said, adding that such weapons "are being considered for use." US embassies around the world are on heightened alert as a result of threats believed to emanate from followers of Bin Laden, who has been indicted by a US court for orchestrating the bombing last August of embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, in which 259 people died. US delegations in Africa and the Gulf have been shut down in recent weeks after credible threats were received. In this year's budget, President Clinton called for an additional $2 billion to spend on counter-terrorist measures... Ahmed Allawi, a senior member of the opposition Iraqi National Congress (INC), based in London, said he had heard reports of the December meeting which he believed to be accurate. "There is a long history of contacts between Mukhabarat [Iraqi secret service] and Osama bin Laden," he said. Mr Hijazi, formerly director of external operations for Iraqi intelligence offered Mr Bin Laden asylum in Iraq, most likely in return for co-operation in launching attacks on US and Saudi targets." <ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,314700,00.html</ref> (end quote)

To say that the US should never have deposed Saddam when he posed such a threat is irresponsible. The detractors from the Iraq War today would presently be decrying the dead and dying in America and saying President Bush should have gone to war to prevent such devastating losses, had he refrained from engaging in the Iraq War. We know that since then Bin Laden has worked toward attacking the US on his own, without the assistance of Saddam. QUOTE:

Bin Laden was a threat to the United States at the time Saddam was in power and his efforts have been ongoing in terrorism since Saddam's regime was toppled. His plots have included targeting the United States as disclosed May 22, 2007 in the article "White House says bin Laden ordered Iraq plots" where it cites newly declassified intelligence which states, "Osama bin Laden ordered al Qaeda's leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, to form a cell in 2005 to plot attacks outside of Iraq and make the United States his main target. Townsend said that in the spring of 2005 bin Laden also told Hamza Rabia, then al Qaeda's top operations man, to brief Zarqawi on the group's "external operations planning, including homeland plots (targeting the United States)." <ref>http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2007/05/23/white_house_says_bin_laden_ordered_iraq_plots/</ref> (end quote)

The act of war on Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein was justified to protect the Homeland of America from Saddam's planned and certain future catastrophic attack. The [[red herring]] <ref>http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/red-herring.html</ref> of not finding the WMD in Saddam's backyard does not diminish the threat to the Homeland of America because Saddam had proven his willingness to use such WMD on the Kurdish people in Iraq <ref>http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article351987.ece
</ref> and he would have had the atom bomb within a year by expert opinion. To expect that he would not have put into execution his stated aims against America is to act like an ostrich and put one's head in the sand.

If the atomic threat is not sufficient, under "regime intent", above, the Iraqi Survey Group's key findings stated that Saddam never abandoned his intentions to resume a chemical weapons effort when sanctions were lifted. The section on The Duelfer Report points out that there were reference strains of biological agents which were found and evidence of the ability to quickly start chemical and biological warfare production, QUOTE: Both Duelfer and Kay found Iraq had "a clandestine network of laboratories and safe houses with equipment that was suitable to continuing its prohibited chemical- and biological-weapons [BW] programs," the official said. "They found a prison laboratory where we suspect they tested biological weapons on human subjects." "Reference strains" of a wide variety of biological-weapons agents were found beneath the sink in the home of a prominent Iraqi BW scientist. In testimony before Congress on March 30, Duelfer revealed the ISG had found evidence of a "crash program" to construct new plants capable of making chemical- and biological-warfare agents (end quote)

Saddam's son in law tells Saddam, quote: In the chemical, sir, they have a problem far bigger than the biological, bigger than the biological. Not the type of the weapons, not the volume of the materials we imported, not the volume of the production we told them about, not the volume of use. None of this was correct. They don't know any of this. We did not reveal the volume of the chemical weapons that we had produced. We did not reveal the type of the chemical weapons. We did not reveal the truth about the volume of the imported materials. In the nuclear, sir, in the biological, we also disagree with them. As for the nuclear, we say we have disclosed everything but no. There are teams working with no one knowing about some of them. I go back to the question of whether we should reveal everything or continue to be silent... I would say it is in our interest not to reveal. Not just out of fear of disclosing the technology we achieved, or to hide it for future work...<ref>https://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/Investigation/story?id=1623307&page=1</ref> (end quote)
Also, there is credible testimony that Saddam had the weapons and moved them, quote: Saddam Hussein's former southern regional commander, Gen. Al-Tikriti, gave the first videotaped testimony confirming that Iraq had WMDs up to the American invasion in 2003 and that Russia helped remove them prior to the war. His testimony confirms numerous other sources that have pointed to Russia's secret alliance with Iraq and the co-ordinated moving of WMDs before the American liberation." <ref>http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=22645</ref> (end quote)

There are those who think that attacks upon America must actually happen in order to prove that these things exist or pose an imminent threat. The Iraq War was a preventative war and as such its merit relies on the mental ability of the public to perceive future threats and act in keeping with that threat and not ignore it - just as a person must swerve their car in the face of oncoming traffic in order to avoid an accident. As with this example, it does little good to discuss the merits of whether there would have been a crash or not after the fact since the evidence of past destruction which was avoided will never be obtainable.
The threats could be real or invented; Destroying an Arab country is the safest way to avoid any future damage.

== New Middle East Project ==

Three years after the start of the war, Secretary of State [[Condoleezza Rice]] announced Colonel Ralph Peters New Middle East Project, a continuation of the [[World War I]] Sykes-Picot Agreement, in which he admits to the title "Blood Borders".<ref>http://armedforcesjournal.com/blood-borders/</ref><ref>http://www.defenddemocracy.press/plans-for-redrawing-the-middle-east-the-project-for-a-new-middle-east/</ref><ref>https://brilliantmaps.com/new-middle-east/</ref><ref>http://www.behindthenews.co.za/2018/04/11/the-greater-middle-east-project/</ref>

== After the Invasion ==

Some time after the invasion, Iraq became a battleground for American backed [[Pershegma]] militas and Iranian backed [[Hezbollah]] militas. The [[Syrian War]] spilled over into Iraq as well, with the [[PKK]], [[Free Syrian Army]], [[ISIS]] and the [[Baath Party]] all establishing Iraqi wings.

'''Taiwan''', also '''Formosa''', is an island state and a democracy in East Asia. The population was 23.57 million in 2017 and the dominant language is Chinese.<ref name=MOFA2 /> In 2012, it had the 20th largest economy in the world, according to the [[International Monetary Fund]].<ref>Taiwan's GDP for 2012 was $902 billion (PPP).</ref> Neighboring states include the [[People's Republic of China]] (PRC) to the west, Japan to the east and northeast, and the Philippines to the south. The capital is [[Taipei]] in the north of the island. Known for its natural beauty, the country is 245 miles long and 89 miles wide, with a steep central mountain range and plains on the west coast.

The Dutch East India Company had a trading post on Taiwan in the seventeenth century. The island was acquired by Japan in 1895 as a result of the First Sino-Japanese War. It was returned to the Republic of China in 1945 at the end of World War II. The current division between Taiwan and the mainland originated in 1949, when the [[Chinese Nationalist Party]], or KMT, was defeated by the communists in the Chinese Civil War, fled the mainland, and relocated to Taiwan.

The [[United Nations]] and most non-communist states continued to recognize "Nationalist China" in Taiwan as the legitimate government of China until 1971. At this time, the Nationalists were expelled from the U.N. and the China seat was reassigned to Beijing. The communist government in Beijing claims Taiwan as a renegade province. President Jimmy Carter withdrew U.S. recognition of Taiwan in 1979, and Congress passed the Taiwan Relations Act to regulate relations between the two countries.

Taiwan was under marital law from 1948 until 1987. During this period, Taiwan was a one-party state and opposition political activity was not permitted. The country held its first democratic presidential election in 1996. A presidential election in January 2016 was won by Tsai Ing-wen of the [[Democratic Progressive Party]]. Her party, strongly opposed by China, stresses "Taiwanization" as opposed to Chinese identity. The Western media often accuses Beijing of treating Taiwan as a "renegade province," although the Chinese media denies this.<ref>"The mainland has never called Taiwan a "renegade province" and has repeatedly stressed that the cross-straits negotiation will not be one between the central government and a local government, it will be an equal negotiation under the One-China principle." ("[http://en.people.cn/english/200005/16/eng20000516_40946.html Taiwan's New Leader Urged to Recognize One-China Principle]", ''People's Daily'', May 17, 2000.)</ref>

==People==
Taiwan has a population of 23 million. Numbering more than 18 million, the "native" Taiwanese, are descendants of migrants from Fujian and Guangdong provinces on the mainland, primarily in the 18th and 19th centuries. The "mainlanders," who arrived in Taiwan after 1945, came from all parts of China. About 485,000 "aborigines" (indigenous peoples of Taiwan who have not mixed with other peoples in recent times) inhabit the mountainous central and eastern parts of the island and are believed to be of Malayo-Polynesian origin. Of Taiwan's total population, approximately one million, or 4.4 percent, currently reside in mainland China.
*Population (2007): 23.0 million.
*Annual growth rate (2007): 0.36 percent.

}}Taiwan's official language and medium of instruction is Chinese. The Taiwanese form of the spoken language, known as ''Guóyǔ'' (national language), does not differ significantly from the ''Pǔtōnghuà'' (common speech) spoken on the mainland. Taiwan uses the "unsimplified" characters of pre-communist China, so its writing system is distinct. Most Taiwanese speak Minnan, or Taiwanese, as their first language. Minnan is also spoken in southern Fujian. Recently there has been a growing use of Taiwanese in the broadcast media. The Hakka, who are concentrated in several counties throughout Taiwan, have their own distinct language. Minnan, Hakka, and Mandarin are members of the Chinese language family. As a result of more than half a century of Japanese rule, many older people can also speak Japanese.

From 2002 to 2008, Tongyu Pinyin ("general-use spelling of sounds") was Taiwan's official Romanization system. This system is a variant of the Hanyu Pinyin system used on the mainland. Taiwan adopted Hanyu Pinyin officially in 2008. In practice, Taiwanese use of the Latin alphabet remains chaotic.

====Religion====
According to the Interior Ministry, there are about 11.2 million religious believers in Taiwan, with more than 75 percent identifying themselves as [[Buddhist]]s or [[Taoist]]s. At the same time, there is a strong belief in traditional folk religion throughout the island. These are not mutually exclusive, and many people practice a combination of the three. [[Confucian]]ism also is an honored school of thought and ethical code. Christian churches have been active on Taiwan for many years, and today, the island has more than 600,000 Christians, a majority of whom are Protestant.

====Culture====
Taiwan's culture is a blend of Chinese, Japanese, local Taiwanese and Western influences. Fine arts, folk traditions, and popular culture embody traditional and modern, Asian, and Western motifs. One of Taiwan's greatest attractions is the Palace Museum, which houses over 650,000 pieces of Chinese bronze, jade, calligraphy, painting, and porcelain. This collection was moved from the mainland in 1949 when Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Party (KMT) fled to Taiwan. The collection is so extensive that only 1 percent is on display at any one time.

====Education====
A nine-year public educational system has been in effect since 1979. Six years of elementary school and 3 years of junior high are compulsory for all children. About 96.2 percent of junior high graduates continue their studies in either a senior high or vocational school. Taiwan has an extensive higher education system with 163 institutions of higher learning. Each year, about 170,000 students attempt to enter higher education institutes; about 69 percent of the candidates are admitted to a college or university. Opportunities for graduate education are expanding in Taiwan, but many students travel abroad for advanced education. In 2006, over 16,000 U.S. student visas were issued to Taiwan passport holders.

==Government==
The authorities in Taipei exercise control over Taiwan, Quemoy, Matsu, the Penghus (Pescadores) and several other smaller islands. Taiwan is divided into counties, provincial municipalities, and two special municipalities, Taipei and Kaohsiung. At the end of 1998, the Constitution was amended to make all counties and cities directly administered by the Executive Yuan. From 1949 until 1991, the authorities on Taiwan claimed to be the sole legitimate government of all of China, including the mainland. In keeping with that claim, when the Nationalists retreated to Taiwan in 1949, they re-established the full array of central political bodies, which had existed on the mainland. While much of this structure remains in place, the authorities on Taiwan in 1991 abandoned their claim of governing mainland China, stating that they do not "dispute the fact that the PRC controls mainland China."

The first National Assembly, elected on the mainland in 1947 to carry out the duties of choosing the president and amending the constitution, was re-established on Taiwan when the KMT moved. Because it was impossible to hold subsequent elections to represent constituencies on the mainland, representatives elected in 1947-1948 held these seats "indefinitely." In June 1990, however, the Council of Grand Justices mandated the retirement, effective December 1991, of all remaining "indefinitely" elected members of the National Assembly and other bodies.

The second National Assembly, elected in 1991, was composed of 325 members. The majority were elected directly, while 100 were chosen from party slates in proportion to the popular vote. This National Assembly amended the Constitution in 1994, paving the way for the direct election of the president and vice president the first of which was held in March 1996. In April 2000, the members of the National Assembly voted to permit their terms of office to expire without holding new elections. The National Assembly elected in 2005 voted to abolish itself the following month, leaving Taiwan with a unicameral legislature. The president is both leader of Taiwan and Commander-in-Chief of its armed forces. The president has authority over four of the five administrative branches (Yuan): Executive, Control, Judicial, and Examination. The president appoints the president of the Executive Yuan, who also serves as the premier. The premier and the cabinet members are responsible for government policy and administration.

The main lawmaking body, the Legislative Yuan, was originally elected in the late 1940s in parallel with the National Assembly. The first LY had 773 seats and was viewed as a "rubber stamp" institution. The second LY was not elected until 1992. The third LY, elected in 1995, had 157 members serving 3-year terms, while the fourth LY, elected in 1998, was enlarged to 225 members. The LY has greatly enhanced its standing in relation to the Executive Yuan and has established itself as a major player on the central level. With increasing strength, size, and complexity, the LY now mirrors Taiwan's recently liberalized political system. In the 1992 and 1995 elections, the main opposition party—the Democratic Progressive Party—challenged the half-century of KMT dominance of the Legislature. In both elections, the DPP won a significant share of the LY seats, leaving only half of the LY seats in the hands of the KMT. In 2001, the DPP won a plurality of LY seats—88 to KMT's 66, PFP's 45, TSU's 13, and other parties' 13. In the December 2004 LY election, the Pan-Blue coalition won a slender majority of 114 of the 225 seats compared to the Pan-Green coalition's 101. The LY was halved in size from 225 to 113 seats by constitutional amendments in 2005. In the January 2008 LY election, the first to be held under this new structure, the KMT won an absolute majority of 81 seats to the DPP's 27 seats, with the remaining five seats going to independent and small party candidates.

In 1994, when the National Assembly voted to allow direct popular election of the president, the LY passed legislation allowing for the direct election of the governor of Taiwan Province and the mayors of Taipei and Kaohsiung special municipalities. These elections were first held in 1994. In a move to streamline administration, the position of elected governor was abolished at the end of 1998, and most other elements of the Taiwan provincial government have been eliminated.

The Control Yuan monitors the efficiency of public service and investigates instances of corruption. The 29 Control Yuan members are appointed by the president and approved by the National Assembly; they serve six-year terms. In recent years, the Control Yuan has become more activist, and it has conducted several major investigations and impeachments. Since 2004, however, the pan-Blue dominated LY has refused to approve the new slate of CY members proposed by President Chen, leaving the CY inactive.

The Judicial Yuan administers Taiwan's court system. It includes a 16-member Council of Grand Justices that interprets the constitution. Grand Justices are appointed by the president, with the consent of the National Assembly, to nine-year terms.

The Examination Yuan functions as a civil service commission and includes two ministries: the Ministry of Examination, which recruits officials through competitive examination, and the Ministry of Personnel, which manages the civil service. The president appoints the president of the Examination Yuan.

===Political conditions===
Until 1986, Taiwan's political system was effectively controlled by one party, the Kuomintang (KMT), the chairman of which was also Taiwan's President. As the ruling party, the KMT was able to fill appointed positions with its members and maintain political control of the island. President Chiang Kai-shek ruled by military dictatorship, declared martial law, and also had a secret police, to silence operation, quite like what his counterpart Mao Zedong was doing. The Taiwanese military was complete with political commissars copied directly from the soviet union, his secret police quick to silence opposition.

After 1986, the KMT's hold on power was challenged by the emergence of competing political parties. Before 1986, candidates opposing the KMT ran in elections as independents or "nonpartisans." Before the 1986 island-wide elections, many "nonpartisans" grouped together to create Taiwan's first new political party, the Democratic Progressive Party. Despite the official ban on forming new political parties, Taiwan authorities did not prohibit the DPP from operating, and in the 1986 island-wide elections, DPP and independent candidates captured more than 20 percent of the vote. In 1987, President Chiang Ching-kuo lifted the emergency decree, which had been in place since 1948 and which had granted virtually unlimited powers to the president for use in the anti-communist campaign. This decree provided the basis for nearly four decades of martial law under which individuals and groups expressing dissenting views were dealt with harshly. Expressing views contrary to the authorities' claim to represent all of China or supporting independent legal status for Taiwan was treated as sedition. Since ending martial law, Taiwan has taken dramatic steps to improve respect for human rights and create a democratic political system. Almost all restrictions on the press have ended, restrictions on personal freedoms have been relaxed, and the prohibition against organizing new political parties has been lifted. Lee Teng-hui succeeded Chiang Ching-kuo as president when Chiang died in 1988.

====Political parties====
In addition to the KMT (described above in 'History' and 'Political Conditions'), there is one other major political party, the DPP, whose membership is made up largely of native Taiwanese, and whose platform includes outspoken positions on some of the most sensitive issues in Taiwan politics. For example, the DPP maintains that Taiwan is an entity separate from mainland China, in contrast to the KMT position that Taiwan and the mainland, though currently divided, are both part of "one China." In sharp contrast to the tenets of both KMT and Communist policy, a number of ranking DPP officials openly advocate independence for Taiwan.

There are a number of small political parties, most notably the Taiwan Solidarity Union. Former KMT President Lee Teng-hui broke with the KMT after the 2000 presidential election and formed the pro-independence Taiwan Solidarity Union in 2001. The TSU, which advocates changing Taiwan's official name and completely replacing the 1947 constitution, allied itself with the DPP as part of the ruling "Pan-Green" alliance. The TSU, however, failed to elect any members to the LY in January 2008. The other significant small party, People First Party, was formed in the wake of the 2000 presidential election, composed of former KMT members who supported former KMT Taiwan Provincial Governor James Soong's presidential bid. PFP and KMT subsequently formed the "Pan-Blue" Alliance to oppose the DPP government. The PFP, however, largely merged with the KMT in the run up to the January 2008 LY election, although one PFP candidate did win election to the LY under the name PFP. In addition, there are more than 10 other small political parties, such as the Hakka Party, the Green Party, and the Constitution Party, none of which received more than 1 percent or 2 percent of votes in the 2008 LY election.

===Foreign relations===
The People's Republic replaced Taiwan at the United Nations in 1971, and Taiwan's diplomatic position has continued to erode, as many countries changed their official recognition from Taipei to Beijing. As of 2008, Taiwan had formal diplomatic ties with 23 countries. At the same time, Taiwan has cultivated informal ties with most countries to offset its diplomatic isolation and to expand its economic relations. A number of nations have set up unofficial organizations to carry out commercial and other relations with Taiwan. Including its official overseas missions and its unofficial representative and/or trade offices, Taiwan is represented in 122 countries. Recently, Taiwan has lobbied strongly for admission into the United Nations and other international organizations, such as the World Health Organization. China opposes Taiwan's membership in such organizations, most of which require statehood for membership, because Beijing considers Taiwan to be a province of China, not a separate sovereign state. The Taiwanese government itself considers Taiwan a province of China, but not of the People's Republic of China, rather of the Republic of China.

===Relations with China===
Despite differences between Taiwan and China, contact between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has grown significantly over the past decade. Taiwan has continued to relax restrictions on unofficial contacts with China, and cross-strait interaction has mushroomed. In 2001, Taiwan formally allowed the "three mini-links" (direct trade, travel, and postal links) from Quemoy and Matsu Islands to Fujian Province and permitted direct cross-strait trade in February 2002. Taiwan authorities permitted residents of Penghu Islands starting in 2007, to begin visiting mainland China via Quemoy and Matsu. Cross-strait trade has grown rapidly over the past 10 years. China is Taiwan's largest trading partner, and Taiwan is China's fifth largest.

In December 2019, Taiwan passed a law to counter Chinese interference in the country's internal politics.<ref>Lee, Yimou; Hamacher, Fabian (December 31, 2019). [https://www.reuters.com/article/us-taiwan-lawmaking/taiwan-passes-law-to-combat-chinese-influence-on-politics-idUSKBN1YZ0F6 Taiwan passes law to combat Chinese influence on politics]. ''Reuters''. Retrieved December 31, 2019.</ref>

===Relations with the United States===
In 1979, the United States changed its diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing. In the U.S.-China Joint Communiqué that announced the change, the United States recognized the government of the People's Republic as the sole legal government of China and acknowledged the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China. The Joint Communiqué also stated that within this context the people of the United States will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people on Taiwan.

In 1979, President Carter signed into law the Taiwan Relations Act, which created domestic legal authority for the conduct of unofficial relations with Taiwan. U.S. commercial, cultural, and other interaction with the people on Taiwan is facilitated through the American Institute in Taiwan, a private nonprofit corporation. The Institute has its headquarters in the Washington, DC area and has offices in Taipei and Kaohsiung. It is authorized to issue visas, accept passport applications, and provide assistance to U.S. citizens in Taiwan. A counterpart organization, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States, has been established by the Taiwan authorities. It has its headquarters in Taipei, the representative branch office in Washington, DC, and 11 other Taipei Economic and Cultural Offices in the continental U.S. and Guam. The Taiwan Relations Act continues to provide the legal basis for relations between the U.S. and Taiwan, and enshrines the U.S. commitment to assisting Taiwan maintain its defensive capability.

Following de-recognition, the United States terminated its Mutual Defense Treaty with Taiwan. However, the United States has continued the sale of appropriate defensive military equipment to Taiwan in accordance with the Taiwan Relations Act, which provides for such sales and which declares that peace and stability in the area are in U.S. interests. Sales of defensive military equipment are also consistent with the 1982 U.S.-China Joint Communiqué.

The United States position on Taiwan is reflected in the Three Communiqués and the Taiwan Relations Act. The U.S. insists on the peaceful resolution of cross-Strait differences and encourages dialogue to help advance such an outcome. The U.S. does not support Taiwan independence. President Bush stated on December 9, 2003 that the United States is opposed to any attempt by either side to unilaterally alter the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. While the United States welcomes recent exchanges that enhance channels of communication between leaders in Beijing and Taipei, the United States urges Beijing and Taipei to further advance cross-Strait cooperation and dialogue, including direct discussions between the authorities in Beijing and elected leaders in Taipei.

==Defense==
In proportion to its population, Taiwan still maintains a large military establishment. Defense expenditures accounted for 2.69 percent of GDP in 2007, and the 2008 central budget proposal increased defense expenditures to 3 percent of GDP. The military's primary mission is the defense of Taiwan against China, which is seen as the predominant threat and which has not renounced the use of force against Taiwan. Taiwan's armed forces were reduced as part of a reform initiative from 1997 to 2001, going from about 450,000 to 385,000, with further reductions since then bringing the total force level down to just under 300,000. Registered reservists reportedly totaled 3,870,000 in 1997. Conscription remains universal for qualified males between the ages of 18 and 30. In 2007 the length of conscription service was dropped from 16 to 14 months, with a view toward eventually creating an all-volunteer force. For qualified applicants, alternative service is available in police and fire departments and public clinics, as well as through teaching in some rural schools. Applicants with advanced degrees may qualify for National Defense Service, consisting of reserve officer training followed by four years of work in a government or academic research institution.

Taiwan's armed forces are equipped with weapons obtained primarily from the United States. In recent years, however, Taiwan also has procured some weapons from other Western nations and has stressed military "self-reliance," which has resulted in the growth of indigenous military production in certain fields. In 2007 Taiwan's legislature approved funding for certain defensive weapons systems the U.S. agreed to sell Taiwan in 2001 and earlier. These included the Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-2 upgrade) missile defense system, P-3C maritime patrol aircraft, and a preliminary study of diesel-electric submarines. These systems would give Taiwan key capabilities in missile defense and anti-submarine warfare to remedy vulnerabilities in countering the China's accelerated military modernization. Taiwan adheres to the principles of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and has stated that it does not intend to produce nuclear weapons.

==Economy==
Through over five decades of hard work and sound economic management, Taiwan has transformed itself from an underdeveloped, agricultural island to an economic power that is a leading producer of high-technology goods. In the 1960s, foreign investment in Taiwan helped introduce modern, labor-intensive technology to the island, and Taiwan became a major exporter of labor-intensive products. In the 1980s, focus shifted toward increasingly sophisticated, capital-intensive and technology-intensive products for export and toward developing the service sector. At the same time, the appreciation of the New Taiwan dollar, rising labor costs, and increasing environmental consciousness in Taiwan caused many labor-intensive industries, such as shoe manufacturing, to move to China and Southeast Asia. Taiwan has transformed itself from a recipient of U.S. aid in the 1950s and early 1960s to an aid donor and major foreign investor, especially in Asia. Taiwan is now a creditor economy, holding the world's fourth-largest stock of foreign exchange reserves ($273 billion as of 2007). Although Taiwan enjoyed sustained economic growth, full employment, and low inflation for many years, in 2001, Taiwan joined other regional economies in its first recession since 1949. The economy began to recover in 2002, but the outbreak of [[SARS-CoV-1]] slowed growth to 3.5 percent in 2003. The world economic upturn drove growth in 2004 to 6.2 percent. However, slower world growth in 2005, higher energy prices and interest rates, and excess inventory dragged 2005 growth to 4.2 percent. Continued expansion of exports pushed up Taiwan's economic growth to 5.7 percent in 2007.

Major suppliers—Japan $46 billion, China $30 billion, U.S. $27 billion.

====Foreign trade====
Foreign trade has been the engine of Taiwan's rapid growth during the past 50 years. Taiwan's economy remains export-oriented, so it depends on an open world trade regime and remains vulnerable to fluctuations in the world economy. The total value of trade increased more than five-fold in the 1960s, nearly ten-fold in the 1970s, doubled in the 1980s, and nearly doubled again in the 1990s. In the first half of this decade, exports grew 60 percent. Export composition changed from predominantly agricultural commodities to industrial goods (now 98 percent). The electronics sector is Taiwan's most important industrial export sector and is the largest recipient of U.S. investment. Taiwan became a member of the World Trade Organization as a special customs territory in January 2002.

Taiwan firms are the world's largest suppliers of computer monitors and leaders in PC manufacturing, although now much of the final assembly of these products occurs overseas, typically in China. Textile production continues to move to lower-cost locations overseas, but is still a major industrial export sector and employs nearly 190,000 people. Imports are dominated by raw materials and capital goods, which account for more than 90 percent of the total. Taiwan imports coal, oil and gas to meet most of its energy needs. Reflecting the large Taiwan investment in China, it supplanted the United States as Taiwan's largest trade partner in 2003. In 2007, China (including Hong Kong) accounted for over 28 percent of Taiwan's total trade and almost 41 percent of Taiwan's exports. Japan was Taiwan's second-largest trading partner with 13 percent of total trade, including 21 percent of Taiwan's imports. The U.S. is now Taiwan's third-largest trade partner, taking 12.6 percent of Taiwan's exports and supplying 12 percent of its imports. Taiwan is the United States' ninth-largest trading partner; Taiwan's two-way trade with the United States amounted to $61 billion in 2006 and rose 5.6 percent to $65 billion in 2007. Imports from the United States consist mostly of agricultural and industrial raw materials as well as machinery and equipment. Exports to the United States are mainly electronics and consumer goods. The United States, Hong Kong, China, and Japan account for 60.2 percent of Taiwan's exports, and the United States, Japan, and China provide almost 46.6 percent of Taiwan's imports. As Taiwan's per capita income level has risen, demand for imported, high-quality consumer goods has increased. The U.S. trade deficit with Taiwan in 2007 was $11.9 billion, down 21 percent from $15.2 billion in 2006. Even though Taiwan maintains formal diplomatic relations with about a score of its trading partners, Taiwan maintains trade offices in nearly 100 countries. Taiwan is a member of the Asian Development Bank, the WTO, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. Taiwan is also an observer at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. These developments reflect Taiwan's economic importance and its desire to become further integrated into the global economy.

====Agriculture====
Although only about one-quarter of Taiwan's land area is arable, virtually all farmland is intensely cultivated, with some areas suitable for two and even three crops a year. However, increases in agricultural production have been much slower than industrial growth. Agriculture only comprises about 1.4 percent of Taiwan's GDP. Taiwan's main crops are rice, sugarcane, fruit, and vegetables. While largely self-sufficient in rice production, Taiwan imports large amounts of wheat, corn, and soybeans, mostly from the United States. Poultry and pork production are mainstays of the livestock sector and the major demand drivers for imported corn and soybeans. Rising standards of living have led to increased demand for a wide variety of high-quality food products, much of it imported. Overall, U.S. agricultural and food products account for more than 30 percent of Taiwan's agricultural import demand. U.S. food and agricultural exports total about $2.5 billion annually, making Taiwan the United States' sixth-largest agricultural export destination. Taiwan's agricultural exports include frozen fish, aquaculture and sea products, canned and frozen vegetables, and grain products. Taiwan's imports of agricultural products have increased since its WTO accession in 2002, and it is slowly liberalizing previously protected agricultural markets.

==History==
Pre-historically, Taiwan's inhabitants consisted of various tribes believed to be of Malayo-Polonesian origin, who today only make up over 2 percent of the Taiwanese population (though most have mixed with other ethnic groups in recent times); this changed with the arrival of invaders from the Ming dynasty, who swiftly lost control of the island to Dutch explorers when they colonized the island in 1624. Two years later, the Spanish established a settlement on the northwest coast of Taiwan, which they occupied until 1642 when they were driven out by the Dutch. Dutch colonists administered the island and its predominantly Aboriginal population until 1661. The first major influx of migrants from mainland China came during the Dutch period, sparked by the political and economic chaos on the China coast during the Manchu invasion and the end of the Ming dynasty.

In 1664, a fleet led by the Ming loyalist Cheng Ch'eng-kung (Zheng Chenggong, known in the West as Koxinga) retreated from the mainland and occupied Taiwan. Cheng expelled the Dutch and established Taiwan as a base in his attempt to restore the Ming Dynasty. He died shortly thereafter, and in 1683, his successors submitted to Manchu (Qing dynasty) control. From 1680, the Qing Dynasty ruled Taiwan as a prefecture and, in 1875, divided the island into two prefectures, north and south. In 1887 the island was declared a Chinese province.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, migration from Fujian and Guangdong provinces steadily increased, and migrants from these two provinces supplanted aborigines as the dominant population group. In 1895, a weakened Imperial China ceded Taiwan to Japan in the Treaty of Shimonoseki following the first Sino-Japanese war.

During its 50 years (1895-1945) of rule, Japan expended considerable effort in developing Taiwan's economy. At the same time, Japanese rule led to the "Japanization" of the island, including compulsory Japanese education and requiring residents of Taiwan to adopt Japanese names.

At the end of World War II in 1945, Taiwan reverted to Chinese rule. During the immediate postwar period, the Nationalist Chinese (KMT) administration on Taiwan was repressive and corrupt, leading to local discontent. Anti-mainlander violence flared on February 28, 1947, prompted by an incident in which a cigarette seller was injured and a passerby was shot to death by Nationalist authorities. The island-wide rioting was brutally put down by Nationalist Chinese troops, who killed thousands of people. As a result of the February 28 Incident, the native Taiwanese felt a deep-seated bitterness toward the mainlanders. For 50 years the KMT authorities suppressed accounts of this episode in Taiwan history. In 1995 a monument was dedicated to the victims of the "2-28 Incident," and for the first time, Taiwan's leader, President Lee Teng-hui, publicly apologized for the Nationalists' brutality.

Starting before World War II and continuing afterwards, a civil war was fought in mainland China between Chiang Kai-shek's KMT government and the Chinese Communist Party led by Mao Zedong. When the civil war ended in 1949, 2 million refugees, predominately from the Nationalist government, military, and business community, fled to Taiwan. In October 1949 the People's Republic of China was founded in mainland China by the victorious communists. Chiang Kai-shek established a "provisional" KMT capital in Taipei in December 1949. During the 1950s, the KMT authorities implemented a far-reaching and highly successful land reform program on Taiwan. They redistributed land among small farmers and compensated large landowners with commodities certificates and stock in state-owned industries. Although this left some large landowners impoverished, others turned their compensation into capital and started commercial and industrial enterprises. These entrepreneurs were to become Taiwan's first industrial capitalists. Together with refugee businessmen from the mainland, they managed Taiwan's transition from an agricultural to a commercial, industrial economy.

Taiwan has developed steadily into a major international trading power with $466 billion in two-way trade (2007). Taiwan's accession to the World Trade Organization in 2002 has expanded its trade opportunities and further strengthened its standing in the global economy. Tremendous prosperity on the island has been accompanied by economic and social stability. Chiang Kai-shek's successor, his son Chiang Ching-kuo, began to liberalize Taiwan's political system, a process that continued when President Lee Teng-hui took office in 1988. The direct election of Lee Teng-hui as president in 1996 was followed by opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate Chen Shui-bian's election victory in 2000. Chen was re-elected in 2004 in a tightly contested election. KMT's Ma Ying-jeou won the 2008 presidential election by a substantial majority and was inaugurated in 2008.

The Democratic Progressive Party is a political party on [[Taiwan]]. It's primary issues are that of opposing Chinese expansionism and promoting Taiwanese [[nationalism]].

JoeJN: Added link

''' Tsai Ing-wen''' is the two-time democratically elected president of [[Free China]]. She is a member of the [[Taiwan]] anti-communist [[Democratic Progressive Party]].

==Dispute with Mainland China==
As of 2020, [[Mainland China]] does not have democratic elections or a democratically elected leadership. The government of Mainland China is openly hostile toward [[democracy]] and has threatened to invade Taiwan numerous times. The ruling [[Chinese Communist Party]] of the Mainland, which has been accused of gross [[human rights]] violations and illegal [[bioweapon]]s research over many decades, claims [[sovereignty]] over Taiwan becuse of geographic proximity. The communist [[People's Republic of China]] has no valid historical claim over Free China. The Chinese Communist Party, its leadership, successors, and members, have never been held to account by the international community for [[mass murder]] and [[genocide]] under the precedent set at the [[Nuremberg Warcrimes Tribunal]] of [[Nazi]] war criminals.

JoeJN: Major Powers

'''East Asia''' is a term used to describe the countries [[China]] (the [[People's Republic of China]] and the [[Republic of China]] ([[Taiwan]])), [[Korea]] ([[North Korea|North]] and [[South Korea|South]]) and [[Japan]]. Eastern [[Siberia]] and [[Mongolia]] are sometimes also considered to be part of East Asia. Major powers in East Asia include [[China]], [[Japan]], and by proxy of [[Taiwan]], the [[United States]].
[[Image:16th century East Asia.png|thumb|310px]]

The old-fashioned terms 'Far East' and 'The Orient' are sometimes also used to describe this region, though disapproved of by some because it takes a European standpoint.

Left-wing violence under the Biden junta (2021-23)

2021-04-07T00:14:16Z

JoeJN: >Addressed article and title discrepancy

The following is a list of [[left-wing violence in the Trump era]] and subsequently under the [[Biden Junta]] during 2021, this being a subpage whose information was moved here from the main content page.

==January 2021==
*Violent [[Antifa]] punks swarmed and attacked the home of [[Republican]] Senator [[Josh Hawley]] in [[Washington, D.C.]] while Hawley was in [[Missouri]] and terrorized and threatened Hawley's wife and newborn daughter, who were home at the time.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/violent-leftist-mob-swarms-attacks-senator-hawleys-dc-home-pounding-door-screaming-threats-terrorizing-wife-newborn-baby/ VIOLENT LEFTIST MOB Swarms and Attacks Senator Hawley’s DC Home — Pounding on Door, Screaming Threats — Terrorizing His Wife and Newborn Baby] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> Hawley subsequently ripped into the cowardly punks on Twitter when he found out what they did, which was in response to Hawley's plans to challenge the [[Democrat election fraud|illegal vote fraud]] committed by the [[Democrat]]s in the [[2020 presidential election]] on behalf of their candidate [[Joe Biden]].
*Groups of violent Antifa punks and [[BLM]] thugs viciously attacked pro-Trump protesters the night before a [[Stop the Steal]] rally against Democrat vote fraud in Washington, D.C., injuring an elderly female Trump supporter.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/pro-trump-marine-goes-off-dc-police-mace-stop-steal-protesters-fing-back-aint-got-back-no/ Pro-Trump Marine Goes Off on DC Police After They Mace Stop the Steal Protesters, ‘We Had Your F***ing Back, But We Ain’t Got Your Back No More!’] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> Not only did the DC police, under orders from corrupt DC Democrat mayor [[Muriel Bowser]], act in dereliction of their duty by refusing to stop the rioting punks, but several corrupt officers stood up for the punks by illegally attacking and macing the Trump supporters when they tried to protect the elderly attack victim, prompting one of the pro-Trump protesters, a Marine, to angrily denounce the DC police while other Trump supporters in the crowd called the corrupt cops traitors.
[[File:Electoral College certification of Joe Biden.png|right|350px|thumb|Anifa/BLM terrorists filmed the murder of [[Ashli Babbitt]] by Capitol Police.]]

*A reporter for the now-liberal leaning [[Fox News]] shoved a Trump supporter during a gathering of pro-Trump protesters outside the governor's mansion in Olympia, [[Washington]].<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/watch-fox-news-anchor-shoves-trump-supporter-outside-washington-governors-mansion/ WATCH: Fox News Anchor Shoves Trump Supporter Outside Washington Governor’s Mansion] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> The other Trump supporters retaliated against the reporter by shoving him several times before local police intervened and forced the reporter to leave; the Trump supporter who was assaulted plans to file charges against the reporter.
*[[ABC]] News political director Rick Klein let out his inner Nazi on Twitter when he spoke about how the Democrats should "cleanse" America of Trump supporters, akin to the [[Holocaust]] perpetrated by the Nazis during WWII, in the wake of the Antifa-staged riots inside the US Capitol which were falsely attributed by the liberal media to pro-Trump supporters.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/political-director-abc-news-talks-cleansing-america-trump-supporters/ Political Director Of ABC News Talks About ‘Cleansing’ America Of Trump Supporters] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> True to form for a cowardly leftist lacking the courage of his convictions, Klein later deleted his post following heavy criticism, but not before it was screencapped by critics of the comment, including conservative commentator Sebastian Gorka.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SebGorka/status/1347270807123341313 Sebastian Gorka: "Didn’t fascists “cleanse” their enemies? That’s what @rickklein is calling for. Guess that makes him a fascist too. Why is @ABC good with that?"] at Twitter</ref>
*Corrupt [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]] Democrat mayor [[Ted Wheeler]], long a supporter of Antifa and enabler of the hate group's violent attacks and rioting in that city, found himself victimized by the very group he had supported when Antifa punks invaded a restaurant Wheeler was dining at, harassed him and punched him in the face.<ref>[https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1347240792168005635 Andy Ngo: "BLM-antifa extremists confronted Portland mayor Ted Wheeler while he was dining out last night. Serial-riot arrestee Tracy Molina was part of the mob. Shortly after this video, he was punched"] at Twitter</ref> Among the punks who invaded the restaurant was Antifa member Tracy Molina, a frequent arrestee for taking part in past Antifa riots and who was the culprit who punched the mayor; Wheeler stood up to the hoodlums and told them to grow up before restaurant employees evicted the punks.<ref>[https://nypost.com/2021/01/08/portland-mayor-reportedly-punched-by-social-justice-activist/ Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler reportedly punched by social justice activist] at the New York Post</ref> No arrests were made in the incident and Wheeler did not plan to file charges against Molina for the assault.
*Trump supporters were attacked and assaulted with pepper spray by Antifa black bloc punks in San Diego.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/black-bloc-mob-antifa-terrorists-assault-group-trump-supporters-san-diego-video/ Black Bloc Mob of Antifa Terrorists Assault Group of Trump Supporters in San Diego] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> San Diego police officers, who were also assaulted when the punks threw rocks and bottles at them, quickly declared the Antifa riot an unlawful gathering and arrested three of the punks and took them into custody.
*Masked Antifa punks in riot gear who marched through [[New York City]] claiming to "own" its streets and public space<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/motherfckin-streets-antifa-terrorists-march-nyc-riot-gear-media-silent-video/ “Our Motherf*ckin Streets!” Antifa Terrorists March Through NYC in Riot Gear – Media Silent] at the Gateway Pundit ('''Warning:''' Contains videos with foul language)</ref> viciously assaulted a female journalist and hypocritically called her a "Nazi" (ignoring that they were behaving exactly like Nazis themselves) while corrupt NYPD officers, acting in dereliction of their duty, did nothing to stop the assault.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/blm-antifa-thugs-violently-attack-female-journalist-nyc-police-stand-nothing-video/ BLM-Antifa Thugs Violently Attack Female Journalist in NYC – Police Stand by and Do Nothing] at the Gateway Pundit ('''Warning:''' Contains video with violence and foul language)</ref> Not surprisingly, the [[liberal media]] ignored the incident and had nothing to say about it.
*Michael Beller, the chief legal counsel for liberal "educational" TV network [[PBS]], was fired from his position after it became publicly known via [[Project Veritas]] that he advocated the kidnapping of [[MAGA]] supporters' children to be incarcerated in [[gulag]]s and attacking the [[Trump]] [[White House]] with [[Molotov cocktail]]s, as well as celebrating the deaths of voters in [[Republican]]-run states which he claimed were due to the [[CCP flu]] "pandemic", all as part of a profane anti-conservative and anti-American rant to an undercover reporter.<ref>Multiple references:

''Gateway Pundit''. Retrieved January 15, 2021.</ref> The gash on her knee caused by a previous dog bite re-opened, requiring the need for treatment at the emergency room as well as surgery. Not surprisingly, because the attack involved someone tied to one of the Left's most hated political enemies, the liberal media ignored the story.
*[[Parler]] CEO John Matze was forced to go into hiding with his family after he received death threats from anonymous leftist cowards, shortly after the conservative alternative to Twitter was illegally forced offline in a co-ordinated anti-competitive attack on the site by leftist [[Big Tech]] companies [[Google]], [[Amazon.com]] and [[Apple Inc.]].<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/parler-ceo-flees-home-goes-hiding-receiving-death-threats/ Parler CEO Flees Home with His Family, Goes Into Hiding After Receiving Death Threats] at the Gateway Pundit</ref>
*Despite the illegal installation of Joe Biden as "president", Antifa punks still showed their "gratitude" by vandalizing the headquarters of the Oregon Democrat Party in Portland.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/portland-antifa-smashes-windows-headquarters-democrat-party-oregon-video/ Portland Antifa Smashes Out Windows of the Headquarters of the Democrat Party of Oregon] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> Some of the punks reportedly had a hard time breaking windows at the office as part of their vandalism spree, illustrating the image of Antifa being made up primarily of physically weak [[beta male]]s. The punks cowardly fled the scene when the Portland police arrived. Soon after the incident, the Oregon Democrats issued an official statement on their Facebook page which not only refused to place the blame for the Antifa vandalism of their office squarely where it belongs, they falsely blamed the Republicans for the violence and the vandalism,<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/democratic-party-oregon-refuses-condemn-antifa-terrorists-destroy-party-hq-tries-blame-republicans-instead/ Democratic Party Of Oregon Refuses To Condemn Antifa Terrorists After They Destroy Party HQ, Tries To Blame Republicans Instead]at the Gateway Pundit</ref> which only earned the Oregon Democrats criticism from a majority of responders.
*Antifa punks in Seattle also "celebrated" the Biden installation by vandalizing an [[Amazon.com]] store (even though Amazon has been known to support leftist causes) and a courthouse and burning an American flag during a riot in that city.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/seattle-antifa-terrorists-riot-target-amazon-store-video/ Seattle: Antifa Terrorists Riot, Target Amazon Store] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> During their temper tantrum, the hoodlums also showed their support for de facto "legalization" of their criminal behavior by demanding complete abolition of the police and the prison system. So far, only one of the punks has been arrested by Seattle police for their vandalism spree.
*Antifa punk Daniel Alan Baker was arrested by the FBI on federal charges for making online threats to kill Trump supporters and police officers and encouraging violence against same on the day of the Biden installation.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/update-antifa-activist-daniel-alan-baker-arrested-plotting-murder-trump-supporters-says-received-soros-money/ UPDATE: Antifa Activist Daniel Alan Baker Arrested for Plotting to Murder Trump Supporters — Tells Supporters on YouTube He Received Soros Money]</ref> Baker also boasted on YouTube about receiving money from [[George Soros]] to fund his part in the far-Left insurrection against America, and he also offered cash rewards to those willing to engage in illegal [[doxing]] of Trump supporters.

*Far-Left pro-abortionists, emboldened by Joe Biden's recent announcement to codify [[Roe v. Wade]], stormed St. Joseph's Catholic Cathedral in Columbus, Ohio and disrupted a worship service, knocking over a table, chanting mindless pro-abortion slogans and screaming profanities inside the church before the punks were thrown out by church security guards.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/pro-abortion-group-storms-catholic-church-knocks-table-shouts-profanities-video/ Pro-Abortion Group Storms Catholic Church in Ohio, Knocks Over Table, Shouts Profanities] at the Gateway Pundit ('''Warning:''' Contains video with foul language)</ref>

*Former Democrat-turned-Trump supporter Danielle McCarty began being besieged with hundreds of hateful and threatening messages from unhinged leftists on Twitter and other social media accounts after unemployed has-been "comedienne" [[Kathy Griffin]] illegally doxed McCarty when she came unglued over a tweet by McCarty criticizing Griffin's gloating over the [[Democrat election fraud|stolen]] [[2020 presidential election]] while she again posted the photo of herself holding up the fake severed head of Trump that led to her entertainment career being ended.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/trump-supporter-mother-two-fears-life-childrens-safety-kathy-griffin-doxxes-family/ Trump Supporter and Mother of Two Fears for Her Life and Her Children’s Safety After Kathy Griffin Doxxes Her Family]</ref> The leftist cranks let out their inner 13-year-olds online as they threatened the livelihood of McCarty and her family, made false accusations against her and made immature rape and death threats against her and death threats against her children after Griffin libeled McCarty by falsely accusing her of being a "domestic terrorist", sicced her followers on McCarty, claimed to have "reported" her to the [[FBI]] and went even further by posting personal photos of McCarty and her family, while several online leftist sites openly praised Griffin for her criminal actions against McCarty and also made false claims about McCarty. While the usual Twitter suspects rooted Griffin on, a number of later posters gave her well-deserved criticism for her illegal actions. Due to the excessive harassment from the leftist cowards spurred on by Griffin, McCarty was forced to delete her Twitter account.
*Another night, another left-wing riot as Antifa and BLM wreaked havoc in Washington, D.C., assaulted police officers and harassed outdoor diners in the city.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/burn-blm-antifa-terrorists-march-dc-assault-police-officers-harass-outdoor-diners-video/ “Burn it Down!” – BLM-Antifa Terrorists March Through DC, Assault Police Officers, Harass Outdoor Diners] at the Gateway Pundit ('''Warning:''' Contains video with foul language)</ref>

A liberal judge subsequently released both assailants, Jackson under supervision and Benn on his own recognizance.
*Democrat supporters, angry over the passing of a law by the [[GOP]]-majority Georgia state legislature making voter ID for absentee voters mandatory (as it cuts the Democrats' ability to [[Democrat election fraud|illegally cheat in elections]] drastically), stormed the state capitol in [[Atlanta]].<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/insurrection-angry-democrats-confront-police-georgia-state-capitol-lawmakers-pass-bill-requiring-voter-absentee-voters-video/ INSURRECTION! – Angry Democrats Confront Police at Georgia State Capitol After Lawmakers Pass Bill Requiring Voter ID for Absentee Voters] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> Unsurprisingly, the liberal media sided with the leftist rabblerousers and put their racism on display by joining the Democrats in making the issue about race<ref>[https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/georgia-house-passes-gop-bill-rolling-back-voting-access/2917714/ Georgia House Passes GOP Bill Rolling Back Voting Access] ('''Warning:''' Contains the usual liberal media claptrap, lies and narrative-twisting)</ref> and making false claims about the new Georgia voter ID law, even though the new law is about preventing vote fraud and has nothing to do with race.

*Numerous arrests were made by Portland police against Antifa hoodlums (one of which, a rioter claiming to be a "journalist", acted surprised over being retaliated against for their criminal activity) following another round of rioting, vandalism and mayhem in the city by the hate group.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/portland-police-kettle-large-crowd-antifa-terrorists-another-night-rioting-antifa-goons-stunned-boxed-video/ Portland Police Kettle Large Crowd of Antifa Terrorists After Another Night of Rioting – Antifa Goons Stunned, “We Are Boxed In”] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> Racist left-wing opinionist and former ''New York Times'' editor Sarah Jeong [[crybully|whined in a Twitter post]] about the Portland police's successful use of "[[Kettle#Alternative uses of the word|kettling]]" to corral and detain the rioters for arrest, which led to her getting roasted by Twitter responders who criticized her for her support of Antifa and its members' lawless and childish behavior.

*Two BLM rioters stupidly attempted to climb onto the hood of an LAPD car during a riot in Hollywood held on the first anniversary of the death of drug-dealing hoodlum [[Breonna Taylor]] before the officer, acting for his safety due to some of the rioters attempting to block police vehicles from getting through, drove off, with one of the rioters jumping off while the other held onto the hood as several of his manaically-screaming comrades chased after the car on foot for some distance.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/wow-stupid-protester-climbs-hood-lapd-vehicle-breonna-taylor-protest-cop-drives-off-anyway-video/ WOW: Stupid Protester Climbs on Hood of LAPD Vehicle During Breonna Taylor Protest — Cop Drives Off Anyway] at the Gateway Pundit</ref>

Cominform

2021-04-06T19:09:14Z

JoeJN: Source

The '''Cominform''' was a [[Leftist]] [[Marxist]] institution made up of political parties to organize the post war activities of the radical left in 1947. While the Cominform made plans for an "American Attack", no American political parties ever joined the group. Its activities mostly consisted of solving problems that arose following [[World War II]], such as the fate of [[Yugoslavia]] and the dividing of eastern [[Europe]] between the victorious [[Soviet]] countries.

A stated goal of the Cominform was the destruction of [[Catholicism]], as the Cominform saw the Catholic Church as standing in the way of the plans for the world domination of [[Communism]].[[Morris, B. (1953). The Cominform: A Five-Year Perspective. World Politics, 5(3), 368-376. doi:10.2307/2009138|[1]]]

The Cominform was dissolved in 1956.

Member parties included:

*Bulgarian Communist Party
*Communist Party of Czechoslovakia
*French Communist Party
*[[Socialist Unity Party of Germany]]
*Hungarian Communist Party
*Hungarian Working People's Party
*Italian Communist Party
*Communist Party of the Netherlands
*Polish Worker's Party
*Polish United Worker's Party
*Romanian Worker's Party
*[[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]]
*Communist Party of Yugoslavia (until expulsion in 1948)
*Communist Party of the Free Territory of Trieste (until Yugoslavia's expulsion in 1948)

Essay:Greatest Conservative Video Games

2021-04-06T19:05:44Z

JoeJN: ->Paradox Interactive

Although the video game industry by and large is liberal, there have been instances of video games promoting conservative values.

==Axis Entertainment==
This India-based gaming studio produces child-friendly, free games (sponsored by ads which are targeted toward their audience's parents).

Their main offering is the '''[[Baby Hazel]]''' game series. The title character is a two-year-old female toddler, featured doing positive activities (taking care of her newborn brother Matt, fixing food in the kitchen with her mother) and learning positive traits (manners, hygiene). The family is portrayed as a traditional nuclear family (father, mother, Hazel, and baby brother Matt) along with extended family, various friends and pets. One offering features Earth Day, but portrayed in a neutral manner to show care for the environment without getting into liberal traits. Many of the offerings feature Hazel saying prayers, not usually seen in secular video games.

However, the graphics are very simplistic and the games are known to have glitches in them; if a level is frozen the entire game must be restarted from the beginning (though there are only four levels in each game). Also being a foreign company the games do not feature proper English grammar (either American or British).

==Ubisoft==
*Watchdogs: Despite coming from the ultra-liberal video game company Ubisoft, the game Watch Dogs has several Conservative messages, namely those of pro-family, anti-crime, and anti-big government. However, its sequel qualified as liberal.
*Assassin's Creed Unity: Despite it coming from the ultra-liberal video game company Ubisoft as well as the liberal ''Assassin's Creed'' video game franchise, the game's plot specifically condemned the French Revolution and its adherents, with various notable figures of the French Revolution and Reign of Terror being targets for assassination.
*''Rainbow Six'' series: Based on the Tom Clancy novel of the same name, it deals with a special forces unit dealing with terrorists worldwide.
*''Ghost Recon'' series: Like with Rainbow Six, it deals with a special forces unit combating terrorists.

==Koei-Tecmo==
*''Dead or Alive'' series: The fighting game franchise had several conservative messages. One of which was pro-family, as the main character, Kasumi, joined the Dead or Alive tournament specifically to avenge her brother when he ended up critically injured by her uncle, and Kasumi, despite being on the run from her clan due to her technically violating their laws to do so, ultimately wants to return to her clan and family someday throughout the series, and in Dead or Alive 4, 5, and Dimensions, Ayane eventually managed to put aside her murderous jealousy against her half-sister and try to aid her. Similarly, Hayate, her brother, is also reluctant to kill his sister, despite the law mandating it, and their mother, Ayame, also stops Ayane (who was an illegitimate child due to Raidou, the uncle of Hayate and Kasumi who was responsible for the former's injury, having previously raped Ayame) from committing suicide and specifically stated not to kill Kasumi specifically because she was family, which was stronger than any Shinobi code. Similarly, in Dead or Alive 5, the character of Helena Douglas attempts to honor her deceased father's memory by restoring DOATEC to what her father Fame envisioned, and her overall character arc had her trying to avenge her deceased mother when she was murdered during a performance. In addition, the reason Helena's mother had died was because she took the bullet to save her daughter, due to said assassin, Christie, actually aiming for Helena herself during the performance. In addition, the character Hitomi in Dead or Alive 4 took control of the dojo specifically because her father had succumbed to an illness and needed money to help him and his dojo, with the character Gen-Fu having a similar motive regarding his granddaughter Mei Lin in Dead or Alive 1 and 2, entering to gain money for an operation to save her, and in Dead or Alive 3 to pay the medical bills, retiring only after she was fully cured and he fully paid off the debt and spending time with her afterward. Helena Douglas is also depicted as a Christian as well as depicted in a more positive light. In addition, even though it was a Japanese-created game series, it is also notable as featuring a surprisingly pro-American message in the form of the Armstrongs, as their patriotism was depicted in a positive light, and the character Tina was depicted as also trying to follow through with the American Dream. Also has an anti-cloning message, as the villainous DOATEC (and later, MIST) created various clones of Kasumi, with all of them being depicted as either villains (Alpha Kasumi, later known as Alpha-152) or victims (Phase 4). There is also a slight condemnation against feminism in Dead or Alive 5, as Tina tells Mila that "pretty girls shouldn't fight." On a related note, similar to Isabelle in ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'' below, one of the expansions for ''Dead or Alive 5'', ''Last Round'', featured the debut of the character Honoka, who is depicted as being very positive and eager, and is the antithesis of a modern feminist.

*Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: Although it was part of the liberal ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' series, and also gave some hints at promoting the concept of [[Globalism]] and also relativism (and to a lesser extent nihilism) via The Boss's philosophy, the game's overall message was surprisingly conservative, emphasizing a promotion of patriotism in a (in comparison to the rest of the series at least) positive light throughout most of the game, and also featuring the Soviet Union and Communism in general in a more negative light, including depicting the main villain, Colonel Volgin, in a truly villainous and horrific light, as well as referencing several real-life [[war crimes]] conducted by the USSR such as the [[Katyn Massacre|massacre at Katyn Forest]] during World War II (including making clear that the Soviets, in particular Volgin, was responsible for the event, not the Nazis which was even referenced in-game, as well as making explicitly clear that [[Joseph Stalin]] had ordered for the massacre by the NKVD in the first place, as well as similar massacres within the Ukraine and [[Kurapaty|Western Belarus]] as well as it resulting in at least 24,000 deaths including the mass grave discovered by the Wehrmacht near Gnezdovo village), the massacres during the [[Hungarian Revolution of 1956|Hungarian Revolution in 1956]] as well as the [[Uprising of East Germany in 1953|uprising in East Germany]] on June 17, 1953. It also to a certain extent attempts to promote American values (especially in comparison to most entries in the series prior to and after that game). In addition, the man trying to defect from the Soviet Union to America in the beginning of the game, Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolov, is shown in a sympathetic light and was also shown to be a family man, as when defecting to the United States and trying to cross the Iron Curtain, he made clear that he won't leave without his family, and late in the game, when acknowledging he probably won't be able to go to America, he has Naked Snake swear to take care of his family for him. In addition, it has a slight anti-homosexual agenda message due to the character Major Raikov alongside the main villain Volgin being strongly implied to be in a homosexual relationship, and neither character being depicted in a positive or sympathetic light. Also, contrary to most Cold War-related storylines which usually downplays Soviet involvement in various third-world conflicts such as Vietnam, it is made explicitly clear that the Soviets played a huge role in various uprisings within the third world, with radio conversations dealing with various weapons making very clear that the Soviets had involvement in South Vietnam, in the Malaysia Emergency, and that they even devised various traps specifically to be adopted by any communist allies in third world regions and were researching various traps within the Soviet Union via one of the key locations in the game. Volgin's main plan for the Shagohod also involved mass-producing it for the Eastern Bloc and then using it as bait to ferment uprisings against "dictators, ethnic insurgents, and revolutionary groups" throughout the third world, which not only acts as further confirmation of Soviet communism's involvement in the third world uprisings, but also hints at Volgin planning on engineering revolts against the USSR while he is in control of it, alluding to how various Communist ideologues often tried to instigate revolts even when firmly in power (owing to Karl Marx's advocating that the communists upon assuming power be obliged to reenact Robespierre's Reign of Terror).
**Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops: Like ''Snake Eater'' above, it also attempts to invoke patriotism in a more positive light, and the main villains are explicitly shown to try and invoke nihilism, anti-American commentary as well as promoting class warfare at one point (citing a growing gap between the rich and poor during a speech midway through the game). It also has a condemnation against Soviet policies, as a large part of the reason why the personnel of a missile base in Colombia (who were of Soviet origin) ended up turning to Gene's cause was out of revenge for essentially being cut off from the Soviet brass due to the events of Détente in order for the Soviets to place the blame on "out-of-control soldiers" in the event the base was discovered, and when the Soviet personnel ultimately did aid Snake in stopping the possible nuclear launch against the Soviet Union, it is solely due to the Soviet Union being their homeland and not out of any love for its policies. Similar to ''Metal Gear Solid 3'', it makes clear that the Soviets were also heavily involved in the actions of various liberation fronts in the third world, as the reason the Soviets had the missile base in Colombia in the first place was because the Soviets had been aiding the [[Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia|FARC]] communist rebel group in the backstory, and the character Frank Jaegar, aka, Null, had formerly been a member of the communist-backed FREMILO, with Big Boss being implied to have aided the Portuguese Soldiers during the Mozambician Civil War.
*Contra series: Pro-military and Pro-American. American heroes fight against villainous organizations and alien invaders.
*Castlevania series: Various members of the Belmont Clan, implied to be Christian (in Castlevania II, Simon Belmont restores his HP by visiting a church, in Castlevania III, Trevor Belmont kneels before a Cross in the intro, and in the Nintendo 64 version of the game, the character Reinhardt Schneider is seen making the trinity prayer gesture ["in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit"] in the beginning of his scenario, and when comforting Rosa, offers her last rites.) fight against the occult forces of Count Dracula.

==Play Mechanix Inc.==
*[[Big Buck Hunter]] series: Pro-hunting arcade game series.

==Electronic Arts==
*Battlefield series: Similarly to the Call of Duty series, it tends to promote American values as well as being pro-military. However its recent title Battlfield V betrays its fanbase for the sake of being woke. Allowing for female soldiers even though it historicaly inacurate for non russian female soldiers in WW2. The game has also made "white men" a swear word.
*Medal of Honor series: Like above, it tends to promote American values as well as being pro-military. Although the series mostly deals with the events of [[World War II]], two of the more recent games deal with the [[War in Afghanistan]].
*Command And Conquer series: A military real-time strategy series divided into three sub-series: ''Tiberium, Red Alert'' and ''Generals''. The ''Tiberium'' series, however, promotes globalism but at the same time, condemns religious extremism. The latter two are more conservative and pro-American, with ''Red Alert'' fighting against Soviet communism and ''Generals'' fighting against Islamic extremism.

==Nintendo==
*''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' series: Similar in vein to stories such as ''Lord of the Rings'', ''Beowulf'', and ''The Chronicles of Narnia'', the games detail a classic message of good fighting evil, and also featured implicit Christian themes in the series (in fact, until the third game, the religion of the people in the games was supposed to be Christianity, hence the cross on Link's Shield in the first game). The main villain, Ganon, is revealed to have originally belonged to a group known as the Gerudo, who are depicted as a nearly all-female race (Ganon, or more accurately his human form Ganondorf, being the only exception) and having traits resembling Muslims, hinting at an anti-feminist/anti-Islam message. There was also a pro-family message in at least one game in the series, as one of the entries, ''Wind Waker'', featured Link trying to save his sister after she was abducted early on in the game, as well as their getting along amicably throughout.
*Radar Mission: Pro-military game based on the board game battleship, it teaches the player the art of strategy, with the story involving the player fighting against an enemy fleet and, later, an enemy airfield that is implied to be the main headquarters of the enemy. Also has an alternate game mode that deals with Submarine warfare.
*''[[Metroid]]'' series: Although largely being based on the liberal movie franchise ''Alien'', the game franchise has several conservative elements. Namely, it depicts piracy and terrorism in a negative manner in the form of the murderous Space Pirates who frequently act as the main antagonists of the franchise. The game ''Super Metroid'' also promotes parenthood in a positive light, as the main plotline of the game involved Samus Aran trying to rescue her "child", a Metroid hatchling she adopted after wiping out its race in the previous game due to it imprinting on her, from the Space Pirate forces. The Prime series also depicts the military in a positive manner in the form of the Galactic Federation Marines, and some of the Chozo Logs as well as the Luminoth also have some similarities to biblical accounts (i.e., the Worm, alluding to the titular antagonist Metroid Prime, alluding to Wormwood in the book of revelations). In addition, although the main protagonist, Samus Aran, is female, it does not promote the concept of feminism. The game ''Metroid Fusion'' also showcases the warnings of playing god and government corruption.
*''[[Punch-Out!!]]'' series: Pro-American dream, as the player, as Little Mac, a rookie boxer from New York, has to fight to the championship to acquire the title of world champion of boxing.
* ''Cooking Mama'' series: A charming cooking series that utilizes the mechanics of the games system's mechanics to teach cooking. Does favor traditional gender roles with the title character, Mama, an enthusiastic chef/stay-at-home mother. This series was "parodied" by [[PETA]] (The parody game is subtitled ''Mama Kills Animals''!) due to the series including meat-based recipes, but the developers, Majesco, exploited the frenetic attention that PETA was gaining with such gore. The series started in 2006 and has been steady releasing games, the most recent being a mobile app game called ''Cooking Mama: Let's Cook!''

==''Paranoid Productions''==
*''The Church In The Darkness'': The game's premise deals with a preacher infiltrating a cult to save their nephew. The antagonistic cult is heavily implied to be based on the cult led by the infamous [[Jim Jones]]. Aside from it condemning the socialist elements as well as being pro-traditional christianity and pro-family, it also has a condemnation of [[social justice warrior]] elements, as the game repeatedly refers to the antagonistic cult as "collective justice warriors."<ref>https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2019/08/the-church-in-the-darkness-gameplay-walkthrough/90218/</ref>

==Sega==
*''Streets of Rage'' series: An anti-crime and anti-gang series in which former police officers fight against a crime syndicate run by a "Mr. X."

==SNK==
*''Metal Slug'' series: Pro-military and pro-American, deals with the main characters trying to fight terrorists of various stripes.
*''Iron Tank'': Unlike its predecessor ''Guerilla War'', this involved an American tank commando trying to take down the Nazis, and is blatantly pro-American.

==Synergestic Software==
*''Super Battleship'': Pro-military strategy game based on the board game Battleship. In addition to the standard game, there is also a story-based mode that has you dealing with several military operations and fighting against enemy fleets (implied by the eagle on the flag to be the Nazis). Teaches the player about the art of strategy.

==Pterodon/Illusion Software==
*''Vietcong'': Promotes American forces in a positive light, and, despite the title of the game, the Vietcong are depicted as villains in this. Overall promotes the [[Vietnam War]].

==Square-Enix==
*''Final Fantasy:'' The first game in the franchise has a simple tale of Good vs. Evil.
*''Final Fantasy IV:'' Promotes the concept of redemption, and showcases a clear message of good vs. evil.

==Capcom==
*''194X'' series: Despite being made by the Japanese developer Capcom, this series of scrolling shooters has the player playing as and American Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighting in the Pacific War.
*''Mega Man ZX'' series: Has a significant condemnation of [[Social Darwinism]] in the form of Serpent and Master Albert, and also has a condemnation of homosexuality in the form of Rospark the Floroid. Also depicts terrorism in a very negative light.
*Final Fight: Pro-family and anti-crime. Metro City's new mayor, Mike Haggar, vows to get tough on crime. In response, the city's infamous "Mad Gear" gang kidnaps Haggar's daughter, Jessica and demands that he "just let us do what we want to like the old mayor did," implying that the old mayor was in collusion with the Mad Gears. Mike Haggar, Jessica's boyfriend Cody, and Cody's friend Guy take to the streets and fight through the Mad Gear gang to rescue Jessica. The ending shows Mike embracing his daughter, comforting her after her traumatic experience with him saying "I thought I'd lose you the way I lost your mother" and Jessica responding "I love you, Daddy."

==Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.==
*''Ace Combat 04:Shattered Skies'': Pro-military and has the player fighting against a fictional fascist regime. The last mission has heavy Christian symbolism. Megalith, a superweapon designed to alter the course of asteroids to any target on Earth, has been activated by rogue military officers, and has the weapon direct asteroids to the continent. The falling of the asteroids images one of the events in the Book of Revelations. The mission to destroy Megalith symbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus: the superweapon itself is shaped like a crucifix (a symbol of death), Megalith is a stone used to sacrifice animals and to create tombs. To destroy Megalith, the player has to fly inside the superweapon and destroy the generators and missiles inside. This symbolizes Jesus sacrificing his life as the Lamb of God to save mankind from their sins as the player is "sacrificing" his life to stop the asteroids killing civilians. Indeed, the background music is a repeated Latin chorus which is translated as:

''Lamb of God,
''who take away the sins of the world
''Grant them rest.

The destruction of the superweapon by the player symbolizes the defeat of death by Christ, with the AWACS officer remarking, "Heroes really do exist. We've just seen one, and now he's coming home." As he says this, sunlight breaks through the clouds, and the player flies towards them as he returns to base, symbolizing Christ's Ascension.

==Rockstar==
*''L.A. Noir'': Despite being made by Rockstar, L.A. Noir places the character in the role of a detective rather than a criminal. The player investigates murders and collects evidence, interrogates witnesses and suspects while chasing down criminals. The player also has the option of stopping street crime during the game at random intervals. L.A. Noir stresses using intelligence and insight to solve crimes rather than commit them as done in other games. This is the only Rockstar game which doesn't use violence except in the furtherance of stopping a crime against an innocent party. The player is rewarded for capturing a suspect rather than appealing to violence as a first consideration.

==Paradox Interactive==
* ''Hearts of Iron 4'': This is a World War Two era strategy game that features very complex gameplay. The game was attacked by the [[CCP]] for it's accurate depiction of [[Tibet]], [[Manchuria]], and [[East Turkestan]] as independent countries before the Chinese invasions of each. The game's ''Man the Guns'' expansion was also heavily criticized for its accurate depiction of [[Democratic Socialism]] as a buzzword for [[communism]]. ''Hearts of Iron 4'' also features a positive depiction of [[Catholics]] and a negative depiction of [[Atheists]]. The game also recognizes Communism and Fascism as having the same inherent government form, [[Totalitarianism]]. ''Hearts of Iron 4'' was attacked by the leftist site [[Kotuku]] for allowing a player made modification that featured a positive depiction of [[Christianity]] and a negative depiction of [[Islamic Terrorism]].

==Mojang==
*''Minecraft'': [[Minecraft]] was created by a lone computer programmer, outside of any major studio (a [[best of the public]] approach to game development), and later sold to Microsoft for $1 Billion. The game could probably be best described as an electronic form of Lego but vastly more complex. Game play is very simple, the player is dropped into a randomly generated world and must mine resources and craft tools and other items. Despite the simplicity of play the game can be used to create extremely complex circuitry and other types of constructions. The game contains no violence (outside of occasionally battling cartoonish enemies during the night hours), no swearing or sex. The game is hugely popular and has a dedicated following proving games do not have to be violent to be popular. Minecraft also has an education pack which is used to teach children about science, history, biology and other subjects<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/class-resources/lessons/</ref>

==Rocksteady Studios==
*''Batman: Arkham'' series: In these games the player plays as Batman to defeat enemies like The Joker, Poison Ivy, Bane and other villains from the the Batman universe. The game stresses no violence and preferring players to use their wits to hide and stalk enemies rather than engaging in immediate violence. While you do need to defeat enemies physically in many circumstances Batman never kills anyone - preferring to knock enemies out and leave them to be captured by police. Also portrays capitalism in a positive light, due to Lucius Fox being a frequent ally in ''Arkham Knight'' and to a lesser extent ''Arkham City''.

==Debatable whether Conservative==
===Indie/Small Developers===
• Undertale: On one hand, it teaches the importance of core Christian values such as mercy and compassion by discouraging killing characters, and instead solving conflicts non-violently. On the other hand, it involves homosexual and bisexual relationships, some of which may involve the player character (who is 12 years of age) depending on what dialogue choices the player makes.
===Capcom===
*Resident Evil series: The games generally have a subtle anti-capitalist and anti-American agenda (with one of the protagonists in ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'', Carlos, being a communist rebel according to the game's Japanese version, and some versions of ''Resident Evil 5'' have a secret conversation between the game's protagonists, Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar, where the former denounces America due to it being capitalist.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA-aH1K_zBU</ref>). However, it also has a condemnation against social Darwinism and eugenics, as most of the main villains in the franchise tended to promote some form of eugenics as well as social Darwinism as their motives. In addition, one of the protagonists, Barry Burton, was implied in the English localization to be a member of the [[National Rifle Association]], and the games also to some extent featured pro-family messaging, as Barry Burton was shown to be very loyal to his family, and the character Claire Redfield is depicted as being loyal to her brother Chris, spending Resident Evil 2 trying to find him and in Code Veronica refuses to allow Albert Wesker to harm him. The games also showcase government corruption in a scarily realistic and negative light in the form of Albert Wesker (who was a former police officer in the first ''Resident Evil'') and Brian Irons (the police chief for the Raccoon City Police Department in ''Resident Evil 2''). Resident Evil 4 also has a condemnation against pagan religions in the form of the Los Illuminados (which is Spanish for "The Enlightened Ones", and may subtly condemn the Illuminati), and the game ''Umbrella Chronicles'' has a possible negative depiction of Communism, or at the very least Soviet-style communism, as one of the main antagonists of that game, Sergei Vladimir, is depicted as an unrepentant former Soviet soldier who in one of the in-game files is strongly implied to have ultimately desired the restoration of the Soviet state.
*''Dead Rising 2'' and ''Dead Rising 2: Off the Record'': Although it has largely the same plotline as in the first ''Dead Rising'', it also to some extent is pro-family, due to the main character trying to save his daughter from infection. In addition, unlike the first or third main entries to the series, the hidden antagonist is not a military person, but instead a former rapper and TV executive who orchestrated the entire outbreak to boost ratings as well as steal wealth, acting as a subtle condemntation to [[Hollywood values]].

===Electronic Arts===
*The Sims (and sequels): Promotes conservative values such as marriage, hard work, the raising of children, law and order, [[capitalism]], and private property ownership<ref>In the SimCity spinoff, the player is expected to build a city, which requires such.</ref>, but it also promotes other things that are anti-conservative, such as homosexual relationships and extramarital sexual relationships, and also has an implicit anti-military message due to there being negative aspects included with building military bases.<ref>In the SimCity spinoff, one option is a military base, but doing so comes with "higher crime" requiring increased police presence.</ref>. An afterlife exists in the game, but not in a Christian sense. The game was created by an [[atheist]].

===Frontier Developments===
*''Jurassic World Evolution'': A spiritual sequel to ''Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis'' from 2001, this game takes the player across the Muerto Archipelago - a chain of tropical islands off the coast of Costa Rica - as they build dinosaur parks for the public. In a way, it promotes capitalism, showing that the park cannot operate without money, requiring the player to build shops, complete contracts to earn rewards, and create fully-cloned dinosaurs. On the other hand, it also promotes the pro-cloning message from the films ''The Lost World: Jurassic Park'' and ''Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom''.

===Koei Tecmo===
*''Dead or Alive 6'': The game features some left wing elements (presumably due to some bullying by the higher-ups such as Tom Lee and Yohei Shimbori), including having Tina imply at one point that one of her goals as governor was to implement big government policies in a conversation with Zack, and the new character Diego is implied to be a socialist due to his bitterly inferring the tournament only exists to "entertain rich people". However, some of the more conservative elements from the games was still retained such as the pro-family messaging (Ryu Hayabusa while sparring with Hayate assures him that his sister Kasumi was safe, referring to an ambush by MIST on her life earlier that Hayabusa stopped, Helena making clear that Kokoro's the only family she has left when the latter was about to leave over the revelation that the two are half-sisters, and Diego's concern for his implied terminally ill mother. In addition, the final battle of the game has Kasumi, Ayane, and Hayate confronting their revived murderous uncle (and in Ayane's case, illegitimate father), Raidou, with Ayane's involvement being implied to be due to wanting to avenge her newly-discovered paternal half-sister, Honoka, who was left in critical condition due to her as well as Ayane being forcibly used by NiCO to revive him.). In addition, the game also has a condemnation of infidelity, as one of the lore bits implied that Helena's and Kokoro's father's womanizing habits is ultimately part of the reason he got killed. There's also a statement against the [[Idea of Progress]] philosophy, as the character NiCO embodies this philosophy regarding her use of unethical experiments, and Helena after NiCO was revealed to have attempted to revive her murdered mother Maria calls her out on it, even explicitly stating that even if science were to find a way to revive the dead, something like that should not ever be embraced.
*''Dead or Alive Xtreme'' series: A beach vacation spinoff for the ''Dead or Alive'' series. The ''Xtreme'' games include some softcore elements such as a pole dancing minigame as well as girls being implied to change in front of the player in ''Xtreme 3'', and it does feature some gambling. However, series creator Tomonobu Itagaki indicated his primary intent for the game was merely to have the characters enjoying a vacation, not necessarily to promote softcore elements. In addition, regarding the game ''Xtreme Venus Vacation'', although the character Tamaki is heavily implied to be bisexual as well as an alcoholic, her more girl-obsessed and lewd elements were not treated in a particularly positive light based on the other girls being wary of her when interacting with her as well as Helena, her closest acquaintance, admitting that was a frequent problem of Tamaki's. The game also has a condemnation of feminism as well, as the character Nagisa was shown to initially have distaste for the Owner partly via feminist rhetoric, though she gradually changes her views on the Owner during her character arc. Two of the characters in that game, Fiona (who is heavily implied to be a Princess from Europe) and Sayuri (a Japanese nurse), are also depicted in a traditionally feminine manner. The games also retain the more pro-family elements from the original to a certain extent, as ''Xtreme 2'' had Ayane arriving at the island while going after Kasumi, with the implication being that she wished to patch things up with her half-sister, and both Kasumi and Ayane as well as Helena and Kokoro were shown to get along very well (with it also being heavily implied that Kokoro wished to have a long chat with Helena regarding their half-sibling status in one episode), and part of Nagisa's reasons for participating in the festival was in part to help her sister Misaki. In addition, the concept of chivalry is promoted, as you lose bonding points if you peek too soon during the aforementioned clothes changing element or gifting the girls any lewd outfits, and the owner of the island a few times refuses to take advantage of several girls even when he had the upper hand (for instance, not taking advantage of a drunken Tamaki in one episode, and forfeiting a poker game despite having the winning hand in order to avoid forcing Monica to strip per the pre-established rules of the game in another episode). The game ''Xtreme Venus Vacation'' also has an implicit promotion of capitalism, as Misaki when describing the objective of the owner of the island explicitly states that he needs to turn the island into the ultimate beach resort.

===Konami===
*''Metal Gear Solid''/''Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes'': Although the first game does have condemnation towards Cloning and genetic engineering, and also has (albeit unintentionally) a pro-life/anti-abortion message due to Liquid Snake, when describing the process of the Les Enfants Terribles' creation, in particular its use of abortion to encourage fetal growth, explicitly labeling it as murder (although in that case, he attributed the act of murder more to himself and his brother Solid Snake, both byproducts of the project, than to the people actually responsible for the Super Baby Method), as well as promoting the concept of redemption to some extent, and also paints terrorism in an appropriately bad light, it at the same time is rife with anti-Americanism among both heroes and villains (although obviously not to the same extent as in later entries) as well as pushing an anti-nuclear and anti-war agenda, both of which seemed to focus more on America doing so than other countries, in particular Russia and China (specifically, the character Nastasha Romanenko, a member of NEST, spent most of her time condemning America for using nuclear weapons or even using nuclear power at all, and giving very little, if any criticism towards Russia and China for their having nukes, despite the fact that the event that caused her to hold a strong hatred for nukes, Chernobyl, having originated from within the Soviet bloc).
**''Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance'': The game does have anti-American elements per the standard of the ''Metal Gear'' franchise, with the main villain being an American politician who intended to jumpstart a war to restore America, and Raiden and Courtney also give slight references to Occupy Wall Street and their 1% rhetoric. On the other hand, it also condemns far-left ideologies such as Communism, in particular the Khmer Rouge, as one of the villains, Monsoon, was a survivor of the Khmer Rouge's genocidal actions in Cambodia, with his more villainous and amoral nature being directly derived from that event, and it also condemns nihilism via Monsoon as well. It also has a slight promotion of Capitalism, as one of Raiden's allies, a former East German scientist by the name of Wilhelm Voigt, and better known as Doktor, at one point says "Ich Liebus Capitalismus", which translated to "I Love Capitalism."

===Radical Games===
*''The Simpsons Hit and Run'': Although there are some liberal themes, such as Marge's crusade against Bonestorm-an implied violent video game-being depicted in a negative light, some characters engaging in lawlessness in a similar manner to ''Grand Theft Auto'', and one of the later chapters for the game having the main antagonists supply the townspeople with ray guns as well as tainted cola in a way that could be interpreted as supporting gun control, it also had several conservative messages, namely pro-family, as two of the chapters dealt with Lisa and Marge trying to find Bart after he went missing and trying to find out the cause behind his addled behavior, and later attempting to stop the production of Buzz Cola due to its effects on Bart, respectively, the first chapter and most of the game features a condemnation towards mass surveillance due to the presence of surveillance vans and wasp cameras and their being treated in a clear negative light, especially in a matter that isn't essential to stopping a threat, and is also anti-Hollywood values due to the main antagonists, aliens by the name of Kang and Kodos, deliberately trying to cause a ruckus in Springfield, including the aforementioned distribution of ray guns and tainted Buzz Cola to cause a shootout and later reanimating the dead via Buzz Cola, plus using the wasp cameras and surveillance vans all in an attempt to boost ratings of their reality show "Foolish Earthlings," which as the title implies deals with depicting various people of Earth, in particular Springfield, doing various stupid actions. Also has a rarity in the franchise where nuclear power is actually depicted in a positive light due to it ultimately being the only thing that stopped Kang and Kodos's alien invasion. There is also a humorous condemnation towards gun-free school zones, as during the same level that Bart has to stop the distribution of ray guns to the populace at Squidport, Principal Skinner explicitly references the no-gun policy among students at Springfield Elementary when confiscating Bart's ray gun, despite Bart making clear he only needed the gun to supply evidence towards an evil plot.

===Activision===
*Call of Duty 2: Like most entries in the franchise, it ultimately promotes American values and the military, as well as the British during World War II as well. However, at least one of the main campaigns depicts the Soviets in a positive manner due to it focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad.
*Call of Duty World at War: Like Call of Duty 2, it promotes the American military, but also has a Soviet campaign. Unlike COD 2, though, it portrays the Russians more realistically as cruel, brutal and merciless towards the Nazis. It also depicts a Russian Commissar encouraging this brutality. This game is one of the few World War II games to depict the Pacific War against Japan and the first mission accurately portrays the Japanese cruelty towards POWs. The events are also historically inaccurate as the Marines are depicted taking Shuri Castle, which was done by the Army, not the Marines.

===Bethesda Software===
*''The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim'': Inspired by conservative novels such as ''Lord of the Rings'', ''Beowulf'', and ''The Chronicles of Narnia'', this game in the ''Elder Scrolls'' series tells about the player being prophesized as a "Dragonborn" (a being with the body of a mortal and the soul of a dragon) to do battle with the dark dragon Alduin and delay the end of the world. Like the other games in the series, this game has conservative messages just like them. Such messages include redemption and striving to do good when the great white dragon Paarthurnax is revealed to have once been Alduin's second-in-command but has since tamed his more savage nature to be at peace with the mysterious Greybeards and other humans, asking "What is better: to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" Both sides in the civil war between the Empire and the Stormcloaks have valid reasons for their actions: The Legion that is stationed in Skyrim wants a united empire to stand against the high elves, and the Stormcloaks want Skyrim to be more independent from the empire, similar to the colonists from the [[American Revolution]]. That said, however, it also engages in a few liberal themes, including an option for same-sex "marriages" and a promotion of feminism (including a high-ranking female "legates", the game's equivalent of a colonel, with the females being given a more masculine design).
*''Fallout 4'': Part of the apocalyptic ''Fallout'' series, the player (a soldier for a male character, a lawyer for a female character) being cryogenically frozen, witnessing his/her infant son being kidnapped. They awaken two hundred years later in post-apocalyptic Boston, Massachusetts (called the Commonwealth) and embark on a journey to find their son, joined by new friends and various factions. The game portrays friendship and other virtues like courage well, as shown with the well-meaning but harsh Brotherhood of Steel. The Minutemen - initially led by Preston Garvey - are shown to be altruistic patriots, ready to defend other people and preserve freedom for the Commonwealth; they even have a motto saying "Freedom at a minute's notice". Family is also promoted in several ways: The player is searching for their son who is kidnapped as a baby, reporter Piper Wright and her sister Nat work together as a team in journalism, and MacCready wanders the Commonwealth in search of a cure for his sick son. The player even has the choices of doing good, like defending settlements from attack or giving money or supplies to the needy, and several companions (including Piper and synth detective Nick Valentine) will praise the player for their good choices. However, the game does condemn nuclear weapons; even a companion named Deacon believes this about weapons of any kind: "Guns don't solve problems, they just create more". Players can even choose to be involved in a homosexual relationship with companions of the same sex, and a minor character and a Miss Nanny robot fall in love and marry. Like having the choice to do good, the player can also choose to do harmful things like murder or stealing, which other companions (like Courser X6-88 and super mutant Strong) will commend them for.

===Nintendo===
*''Metroid: Other M:'' Although largely part of the Metroid series and retaining some of its more conservative elements (namely, the promotion of parenthood and condemning the concept of playing god), the game was rather infamous for several criticisms it experienced in the game, namely the characterization of Adam Malkovich and his relationship with Samus due to it coming across more as promoting an abusive relationship (such as Adam shooting Samus in the back before sacrificing himself). The game, unlike in the Prime series, also depicts the military in a more negative manner, as a flashback had Samus being restrained from turning her back on Adam despite her intention being to save Ian, his brother, from death, as well as one of the more controversial elements of the game being the authorization element which at one point has Adam failing to actually authorize the Varia Suit to allow Samus to traverse through a superheated area despite it nearly killing her until a long while afterward, and also had as its main plot a conspiracy to weaponized Metroids at the order of the Federation military (as well as having someone within Samus's group attempt to assassinate each of the members in order to silence them to any potential discoveries to the conspiracy in question via the character The Deleter).
*''Animal Crossing: New Leaf:'' Though it does replace holidays [[Christmas]] and [[Easter]] with the more politically correct "Toy Day" and "Bunny Day" respectfully, as well as some 'environmentally friendly' Public Works Projects (the latter of which are optional), the main ideals of ''Animal Crossing'' shine through, mainly the ideals of friendship, responsibility (since in this game, you become the mayor) and innocence are treated with respect. Shows [[capitalism]] in a positive light in Tom Nook, a kind-hearted (now-wealthy) raccoon (tanuki in original Japanese) who has opened Nook's Homes, leaving his store to his budding salesmen nephews, Timmy and Tommy (though some villagers theorise that they are not Tom Nook's nephews, instead believing them to be orphans that he adopted). Also shows [[marriage]] and family in a positive light, in characters Reese and Cyrus, a pair of married alpacas who run the Re-Tail recycling/refurbishing shop, and the Able Sisters clothing store, run by hedgehog sisters Mabel, Sable and Labelle, the latter of which has returned home after a bad fight with oldest sister Sable prior to the original game but has since come home, and the turtle (kappa in Japan) Kapp'n, a motorboat driver, who since the previous game married long-time sweetheart Leilani and they have a daughter named Leila. The mayor's secretary, Isabelle, an eager and positive shi-tsu, is also the antithesis to a modern [[feminist]], as well Lottie, a very feminine and sweet-natured otter employee of Nook's Homes (only shows up after the Welcome Amiibo update, however) That being said, however, in the Valentine's Day events, Isabelle can be depicted as having a crush on the player character regardless of gender (though said player is not allowed to pursue a relationship with her, or any other animal character for that matter), as well as the character of the fashionista giraffe Gracie, who while female in most translations of the game, is a effeminate male named Grace in the original Japanese. In addition, due to the options to create your own outfits and paintings, at least one person had created and showcased a T-shirt modeled after [[Che Guevara]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141009074917/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/51860/features/thank-kk-its-friday/?page=2</ref>

===Pterodon/Illusion Software===
*''Vietcong 2'': Although like its predecessor, it ultimately portrays American involvement in Vietnam as a positive, and depicts the Vietcong in the main story as the bad guys, there is an additional mode that features the player playing as the Vietcong and them being portrayed in a more positive manner.

===Ubisoft===
*Assassins Creed 3: The Assassins help the American Revolution by killing the Templar leaders of the British. However, a DLC came out for the game that has you kill all of the [[Founding Fathers]].
*''Far Cry 5'': Set in the Montana countryside, a deputy is tasked with bringing a violent cult to justice with help from the locals. One of the characters helping the player is a Christian pastor named Jerome Jeffries, who encourages his fellow churchgoers to have faith and not give in to the cult. Richard "Dutch" Roosevelt, another supporting character who tasks the player of uniting the citizens of Hope County against the cult, has a distrust for big government. The game also occasionally pokes fun at liberals and the left-wing agenda, as well as painting the [[Second Amendment]] in a positive light through the locals arming themselves to fight the cult. However, the villainous cult is Christian (though they could be considered not true Christians due to doing the opposite of what Jesus Christ had taught), while the previous game villains were more politically neutral: a psychotic pirate, an atheistic dictator, and a sun-worshiping chieftain.

===Square-Enix===
*''Final Fantasy II:'' In initial releases for the game, the game had an undeniably pro-Christian element to the games, and also condemned Satanic worshippers and totalitarianism in the form of the game's main villain Emperor Mateus Palamecia, who explicitly goes to Hell when he dies and tries to take over the world with the powers he gained from Hell. However, the remakes starting with the GBA version added in a new mode called "Dawn of Souls" which has the killed party members fighting against the Emperor's light half who took over Heaven, which could be interpreted as an anti-Christian message.
*''Final Fantasy VI:'' Promotes parenthood due to Terra Branford becoming a mother figure for the Mobliz orphans late into the game, which also had her learning the concept of love, and also showcases the horrors of totalitarian ideologies in the form of the Gestahlian Empire, and also offers a condemnation of [[nihilism]] in the form of the game's main antagonist Kefka Palazzo (who is depicted in a similar manner to [[Joker (comics)|the Joker]] from the Batman franchise). However, Terra also makes a more relativistic remark when trying to refute Kefka regarding finding meanings in things.
*''Final Fantasy VII:'' Promotes the concept of redemption and condemns unethical science in the form of Professor Hojo, but on the other hand, it also has a more anti-Capitalist view on things with Shin-Ra, the main antagonists, being a corporation, and is hinted to promote environmentalism due to the main protagonists being eco-terrorists.

===Rockstar North===
*''Bully:'' Despite coming from the same developers ultra-liberal series ''Grand Theft Auto'' and ''Midnight Club'', this game can be seen to show the dangers of high school cliques as well as bullies. However, the game's main protagonist, Jimmy Hopkins, can be quite a jerk himself and still gets involved in fights with bullies and high school cliques. The game has also been criticized by conservatives because it is possible for the player to engage the protagonist in homosexual relationships.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.neoseeker.com/news/6237-bully-under-spotlight-for-homosexual-content/|title=Bully Under Spotlight For "Homosexual" Content|author=Leo Chan|date=2006-10-24|accessdate=2019-03-08|work=Neoseeker|publisher=Neo Era Media, Inc.}}</ref>
*''Red Dead Redemption'': In the last days of the Old West in 1911, former outlaw John Marston is tasked by a corrupt government official to hunt down his former gang members (Bill Williamson, Javier Esquella, and Dutch Van der Linde) in exchange for getting his wife and son back. The game promotes the importance of family in the form of John trying to work hard to be with his family again, even trying to spend time with his son Jack and saving him from a [[brown bear]]; there is also traditional marriage being upheld, for John will refuse to sleep with prostitutes and remains loyal to his wife Abigail. It condemns government corruption through main villain Edgar Ross, who wants all of John's former gang destroyed to get all the glory for it, to the point where he has his army kill John in spite of promising to leave the latter alone once his job is done and is even rewarded for it. It also promotes doing good like donating to a nunnery, helping people (ranging from rescuing people from gangs or wild animals to just fetching items for them), and doing jobs for them; heroism is even portrayed positively, as legendary gunslinger Landon Ricketts singlehandedly keeps peace in Chuparosa while repelling its enemies. However, the player also has the option of doing bad things like murder, theft, and robbery. There is even a hint of [[bestiality]] when a minor character marries his horse Lucy, though the main character is rightfully flabbergasted at the reveal that the man's lost love is a horse.
*''Red Dead Redemption 2'': Set 12 years before the events of ''Red Dead Redemption'', this prequel game explores how the Dutch Van Der Linde gang had fallen, in the point of view of Arthur Morgan, one of Dutch's righthand men. Over the course of the game, the gang changes in so many ways that makes Arthur think over his past and future choices as well as question Dutch's increasingly reckless decisions. As the title of the two games suggests, it promotes redemption in the form of Arthur helping John Marston and his family escape the collapsing gang at the cost of his own life (whether from succumbing to tuberculosis or being murdered by main villain Micah Bell, which depends on whether the player has high or low honor). [[Hunting]] is portrayed positively while [[poaching]] is negatively shown, the latter showing half black/half [[Native American]] Charles Smith being angered at the sight of two poachers leaving intact [[bison]] carcasses to rot and killing one of the poachers. Like the previous game, the game shows doing good deeds, heroism, and family (whether it be with the Marston family or most of the Dutch Van Der Linde gang) in a good light. However, also like the first game, the player have a choice of doing bad things like murder, theft, and robbery, as well as the protagonist being in a gang of infamous bandits even if the player gets high honor. Dutch himself is portrayed as an early communist, believing in redistributing wealth as they steal from the rich and give to the poor, based on the [[Jacobin]] version of [[Robin Hood]] as portrayed by [[Joseph Ritson]]. Feminism is also promoted in a way by the character of the widow Sadie Adler, who insists of doing more work than helping with cooking; it's further shown when she later fights off and kills three men at once on her own in spite of a physical disadvantage.

===id Software===
*''Doom:'' The game casts satanic demons and monsters as the villains (although like most media, it depicts demons inaccurately). However, the game is controversial for its extreme violence and satanic imagery.

==Debatable Whether Great==
===Multiple Parties===
*''Home Alone'': A video game adaptation of the greatest conservative film of the same name, retaining many of its themes. However, the NES game has poor graphics and shallow gameplay.
*''Home Alone 2: Lost in New York'': A video game adaptation of the greatest conservative film of the same name, and retains many of its themes. However, it takes many liberties with the source material and has very flawed game design.

Milo Yiannopoulos

2021-04-05T23:20:28Z

JoeJN: /* Religious Views */

'''Milo Yiannopoulos''' (born Milo Hanrahan on 18 October 1984) is a [[British]] [[journalist]], entrepreneur, public speaker, and former editor for [[Breitbart.com|Breitbart News]]. Yiannopoulos is a [[ex-homosexuals|ex-homosexual]].<ref>[https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/activist-milo-yiannopoulos-is-now-ex-gay-consecrating-his-life-to-st-joseph Activist Milo Yiannopoulos is now ‘Ex-Gay,’ consecrating his life to St. Joseph]</ref> Despite formerly being openly [[homosexual]], he holds many conservative views, challenging egalitarian arguments and describing himself as a [[cultural libertarian]] though not a 100% economic libertarian.
He has said the Western governments have "thrown women and gays under the bus" by encouraging mass Muslim immigration. He says Muslims "do not integrate", provoking outraged leftwingers to call him "racist". He announced that he was [[ex-homosexual]] in March 2021.<ref>https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/activist-milo-yiannopoulos-is-now-ex-gay-consecrating-his-life-to-st-joseph</ref>

==Early life==
Yiannopoulos was brought up a Roman Catholic. He went to Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys in Canterbury, Kent, UK, but was expelled. He later studied at Manchester University and Wolfson College [[Cambridge University]] but left without getting a degree from either.
Yiannopoulos founded ''The Kernel'', an online tabloid magazine about technology, which he sold to Daily Dot Media in 2014. He rose to notability that year when he began to provide media coverage and commentary surrounding the [[GamerGate]] controversy. As a cultural libertarian and [[free speech]] fundamentalist, he is a vocal critic of fourth-wave [[feminism]], [[Islam]], political correctness, and other authoritarian movements and ideologies. He was permanently banned from [[Twitter]] in July 2016 for what the company cited as "inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others". In reality, he harshly criticized the movie Ghostbusters (2016), particularly criticizing lead actress Leslie Jones, an [[African-American]] woman. This prompted some of Yiannopulous' followers to verbally attack Jones, and Twitter and the [[mainstream media]] blamed him for such harsh attacks. Yiannopoulos gained huge public notoriety after he was scheduled to speak at the [[University of California]]-Berkeley in January 2017 about the myth of cultural appropriation, but had the event shut down by violent rioters who claimed to be fighting Yiannopoulos' allegedly [[racist]]" views.

==Resigns from Breitbart News==

In a January 2016 interview on a "Drunken Peasants" podcast, Milo said there are “certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age” and claimed that there are many “perfectly consensual” sexual relationships between 13-year-olds and 25- or 28-year-olds. (This is of course standard LGBT doctrine maintained by virtually all LGBT activists.) He admitted that he had been sexually abused by an older man, a RC priest, when he was aged 13–15. He admitted that such relationships were extremely common in the "gay community" and asserted that they were a source of love, support and sympathy for the young boys.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azC1nm85btY</ref>

A year later during the US Presidential election, in which he was supporting Trump, the media tracked down this interview and used it in a manipulative and wholly hypocritical way as a weapon against [[Breitbart News]], accusing them of employing someone who had defended child sex abuse (CSA) On February 21, 2017 he was forced to resign from Breitbart.
<ref>http://barbwire.com/2017/02/26/prominent-homosexuals-yes-i-am-gay-because-of-child-abuse/</ref>
Yiannopoulos then lost a publishing deal but succeeded in publishing his book ''Dangerous'' elsewhere.
In 2016 he was banned by the UK's Counter-Extremism Unit from returning to his old school and giving a talk there.<ref>https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-38051488</ref>

[[Mike Cernovich]], documentary filmmaker and author of [[Gorilla Mindset]], in defence of Yiannopoulos said that malevolent actors of the [[Deep State]] were responsible for the claim that Yiannopoulos promoted child abuse as a means of cementing the loyalty of [[Generation Z]]. Yiannopoulos, he said, had become too much of a threat to these forces.

That night, [[Alex Jones]] on [[Infowars]] posted a video called, ''"Milo Is A Victim Of Sexual Abuse, Does Not Promote Pedophilia."'' Jones went on at length detailing that Yiannopoulos’ thinking was taken out of context meaning explaining his molestation as a young teen and that [[Stockholm Syndrome]] might have turned him gay and made him sympathetic to sex between consenting adults in the form of mature men and teenagers, despite the age difference.<ref>[https://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/milo-yiannopoulos-far-right-fans-think-spy-agencies-took-him-out-because-he-was-too-powerful/ Milo Yiannopoulos’ far-right fans think spy agencies took him out because he was too powerful]</ref>

Jones went on to say that Yiannopoulos is the victim of a "witch hunt" by the [[mainstream media]] and Hollywood pedophiles as well as the "Republican party", which is "trying to roll up the grassroots support of the nationalist and populist movement that is taken place."

==Links with Pedophilia==
Yiannopoulos's admission that he was molested as a boy provides another example of the classic pattern of CSA > homosexuality. The prevalence of this pattern proves that [[homosexuality]] is not innate, but caused by early experience, and also that it is inextricable from [[pedophilia]]. Yiannopoulos also said it is a "lie" that people are "born gay" and the "gay lobby has invented the gay gene". He suggested orientation is a "mixture of nature and nurture" but nobody is born exclusively homosexual. He ended by offering a theory about homosexuality being nature's experimental zone, an absurd theory since it fails to breed.<ref>https://voice1nthecrowd.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/t-z-homosexuality-and-paedophilia-part.html</ref>
In November 2017, Yiannopoulos sided with the religious Right by condemning the extreme permissive and pro-homosexual sex-education material being taught to young school children.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5056525/Milo-Yiannopoulos-slams-school-programme-gay-sex.html</ref>

==Religious Views==
In the same interview Yiannopoulos hinted that he believed in God. He said he had tried to change his sexuality and believed that the majority of homosexuals would secretly like to be "cured". He said had tried to "pray the gay away" but it had not worked. The offence this gave to the LGBT militants probably explains a lot about why he has been pilloried. Later, in 2021, he announced he was [[ex-gay]], much to the dismay of liberals and atheists. It is unknown if this development relates to his religious views.

JoeJN: Added item to list

[[File:Godsbook.jpg|right|200px]]
'''Social media''' -- a euphemism for [[gossip]] sites—is a term for websites and applications that allow users to share information and communicate with other users in a "social" setting. [[Liberal censorship]] became rampant on [[Facebook]], [[Twitter]], and [[YouTube]], causing many to look for alternatives. Some school districts—most notably [[New York City]]'s -- have limited contact by [[public school]] teachers with students on [[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]], except on pages set up for classroom use.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/02/nyregion/social-media-rules-for-nyc-school-staff-limits-contact-with-students.html?_r=1&hp</ref>

==Characteristics of Users==
Unfortunately, many users become addicted to such sites. 2010 statistics for [[Facebook]] show users spend more than 928 million hours per month playing online games.<ref>[http://socialtimes.com/facebook-gamers-hours-per-month_b24156 Facebook Gamers Play 927 Million Hours of Games Per Month [Infographic], Social Times, October 18, 2010]</ref> This addictive behavior results in:

*depression<ref>http://www.mobiledia.com/news/85472.html</ref>
*lower academic and job-related achievement by those who spend time there{{fact}}
*interference with the development of good, lasting relationships

Social media experts and psychologists have noted that many users find the need to constantly update their status, check on the status of others or play games suffer from what is known as "Facebook Addiction Disorder." The "disorder" was shown to be prevalent in young people, as a study showed that college students who were asked to abstain from using Facebook for 24 hours experienced helplessness, loneliness, and anxiety.<ref>[http://www.dailystar.com.lb/Culture/Lifestyle/2011/Jul-09/Spending-hours-updating-your-status-You-may-be-a-Facebook-addict.ashx#axzz1RvVMJJOr Spending hours updating your status?

==Criticism of Social Media==

{{see also|Social media censorship}}

Despite several social media websites boasting large numbers of users, active user percentages have slowed or declined in recent times. For example, Facebook reported only a 1.7% month to month increase in active users.<ref>[http://www.buzzom.com/2011/06/facebooks-growth-rate-is-dropping-says-report/ Facebook’s Growth Rate is Dropping, says Report] Buzzom.com, June 13, 2011</ref> Social media critics have noted that these sites often promote "hive-mind" behavior, where many users band together behind one ideology, usually liberalism. In June 2011, users of the website [[Reddit]] crashed White House phone lines during a campaign calling for the legalisation of drugs.<ref>[http://caivn.org/article/2011/06/18/internet-activists-crash-white-house-phone-lines-calling-end-war-drugs INTERNET ACTIVISTS CRASH WHITE HOUSE PHONE LINES CALLING FOR AN END TO THE WAR ON DRUGS] CA Independent Voter Network, June 18, 2011</ref>

==Benefits of Social Media==

Republicans and conservatives [[Twitter#Prominence|have been able to utilize the social media site Twitter more than their Democratic counterparts]]. Success of [[Tea Party]] rallies are a result of organizers utilizing social media, such as Facebook and [[Twitter]], to engage volunteers and spread the word.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/11/organizers-recipes-effective-tea-parties/ Organizers Give Recipes for Effective Tea Parties] Fox News, April 11, 2009</ref>

Employers have also used social media sites to vet potential employees, particularly to see if potential hires have engaged in sexist or racist commentary or displayed photos of illegal activities.<ref>[http://www.itworld.com/it-managementstrategy/176227/have-you-cleaned-your-facebook-profile-your-next-job-may-depend-it Cleaned up your Facebook profile yet? Your next job may depend on it.] IT World, June 21, 2011</ref>

Politicians who embrace [[Facebook]] seem to enjoy a short-term boost in popularity followed by a long-term decline in credibility.<ref>[[Barack Obama]] and [[Sarah Palin]] are two examples of this.</ref>

Cominform

2021-04-05T17:16:04Z

JoeJN: Created Page for Cominform

See also: Cominterm

The Cominform was a [[Lefitist]] [[Marxist]] institution made up of political parties to organize the post war activities of the radical left in 1947. While the cominform made plans for an "American Attack", no American political parties ever joined the group. It's activities mostly consisted of solving problems that arose following the [[Second World War]], such as the fate of Yugoslavia and the dividing of eastern [[Europe]] between the victorious [[Soviet]] countries.

A stated goal of the Cominform was the destruction of [[Catholicism]].

The Cominform was dissolved in 1956.

Member parties included:

Bulgarian Communist Party
Communist Party of Czechoslovakia
French Communist Party
Socialist Unity Party of Germany
Hungarian Communist Party
Hungarian Working People's Party
Italian Communist Party
Communist Party of the Netherlands
Polish Worker's Party
Polish United Worker's Party
Romanian Worker's Party
Communist Party of the Soviet Union

Comintern

2021-04-05T17:06:38Z

JoeJN: Added information about dissolution

The '''Comintern''', or '''Communist International''', was an international [[Communist]] organization founded by and controlled by the [[Soviet Union]]. It was first established in 1919, as a way for the Soviet Union to "export revolution abroad" in its policy of overthrow legitimate regimes; to aid revolutionary Communist parties in other countries and to use foreign Communist parties for [[espionage]] and [[subversion]] to further Communist goals.

With his seizure of power in Russia, Soviet General Secretary [[V.I. Lenin]] turned immediately to his real goal, world revolution. He invited members of all the old socialist parties to join the Comintern. Many did, and new parties were formed—the Communist Party of France (CPF), the [[Communist Party of China]] (CCP), the [[Communist Party of the United States]] (CPUSA), the Communist Party of Canada (CPC) and so on, all under the control of the mother party in Moscow ([[CPSU]]).

[[Joseph Stalin]] dissolved the Cominterm in 1943, as the program was designed to infiltrate western democracies, which had wound up to be is allies in the [[Second World War]]. He formed the [[Cominform]] in 1947 as a succesor, but the Cominform was mainly made up of parties from inside the [[Soviet Bloc]].

==Goals==
The openly proclaimed aim of the Comintern was the overthrow of all "[[capitalist]]" governments and the establishment of a universal state under Communist domination. The founding documents of the Comintern explicitly declared that the member parties and movements were to use whatever means, legal or illegal,<ref>[http://ciml.250x.com/archive/comintern/termsadm.html V.I. Lenin, ''Terms of Admission into Communist International'', (July 1920)] First published 1921, The Second Congress of the Communist International, Verbatum Report, Communist International, Petrograd.</ref> peaceful or violent, might be appropriate to their situations at any given time.

This was the stark specter facing the non-Communist nations in the decades before World War II: a power covering one-sixth of the earth's surface had at its command a global movement that was fighting to wrest control of organized labor everywhere, fomenting revolutions in the colonial regions, vying for the allegiance of the western intelligentsia, and planting spies wherever it could—all with the goal of bringing about [[Bolshevism]] to the all of the world's peoples.<ref>Ralph Raico, [http://www.independent.org/publications/article.asp?id=1468 ''FDR: The Man, the Leader, the Legacy''], Future of Freedom Foundation, April 1, 2001. Retrieved from The Independent Institute.org 06/17/07.</ref>

The Comintern Electronic Archives cites the organization as "The General staff of the [[world revolution]]".<ref>[http://www.comintern-online.com/Files%20of%20the%20Communist%20Party%20of%20the%20USA.html COMINTERN Electronic Archives]. Retrieved 15 July 2007.</ref>

When the Soviet Union itself was invaded on June 22, 1941, the Comintern switched its position to one of active support for the [[Allies]]. A document dated July 11, 1941 making a strategic assessment for the United States [[War Department]] entitled ''Military Intelligence Estimates Prepared by G-2'' states “The Comintern through the Soviet Regime is striving for a [[world revolution]] in the interests of Communism.<ref>[http://www.ibiblio.org/pha/pha/pt_14/x14-033.html#2 Military Intelligence Estimates Prepared by G-2], p. 1341, July 11, 1941.</ref>

The Comintern was publicly disbanded in 1943, however its underground apparatus remained active throughout [[World War II]] and into the [[Cold War]] era.

==Chinese Communist party==
:''Main article [[Chinese Communist Party]]''
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was founded as an eastern branch of Soviet Communism, carrying out the imperialism of the [[Russian Red Army]]. The CCP constitution passed by the First Congress of the CCP was formulated by the Comintern. The CCP copied the secret and underground means from the Soviet model by which an external illegal organization survived, adopting extreme surveillance and control measures.

[[Mao Zedong]] and [[Chu The]], and later [[Zhou Enlai]], set up a Soviet government in two central provinces of China. In 1931 the Executive Committee of the Comintern in Moscow directed Mao Zedong to organize a Soviet on the Russian model.<ref>''Soviet Russia and the Far East'' by David J. Dallin (New Haven, 1948); ''Inside Red China'' by Nym Wales (New York, 1939).</ref> In 1933, the CCP sent a message to [[Josef Stalin]] which read, "Lead us on, O our pilot, from victory to victory!"<ref>''Soviet Russia and the Far East'', David J. Dallin, New Haven, 1948; 17th Congress of Communist Party of Soviet Union, Stenog. Report, p. 1323, quoted in ''While You Slept : Our Tragedy in Asia and Who Made It'', John T. Flynn, New York : The Devin - Adair Company, 1951, [http://www.mises.org/books/whileyouslept.pdf pg. 21] pdf.</ref>

In 1935, [[Georgi Dimitrov]] was General Secretary of the Comintern. At the 15th Anniversary of the Communist Party of China he laid down the Communist line to the followers:

:"...as a real Bolshevik Party, the Communist Party of China realizes that however great the successes it has achieved, they are only the first serious steps on the road to the liberation of the Chinese people...The Party... is faced with the task of carrying on a systematic struggle to establish a [[United Front|united national front]] with the [[Kuomintang]]...It is necessary that energetic measures be taken to exert pressure on public opinion and the governments, first and foremost in England, France, and the U.S.A." <ref>''China: The March toward Unity'', Address "The 15th Anniversary of the Communist Party of China" by Georgi Dimitov, pp. 83-87.</ref>

In 1935, Mao and Zhou Enlai were elected to the Executive Committee of the Comintern in Moscow.

[[Edgar Snow]] introduced Mao and [[Zhou Enlai]] to American readers in 1937 in his book, ''Red Star Over China'', shortly after the [[Chinese Red Army]]’s route by [[Chiang Kai-shek]] in 1934 and their year long retreat to [[Yenan]] known as the [[Long March]]. Snow wrote, "The political ideology, tactical line and theoretical leadership of the Chinese Communists have been under the close guidance, if not positive direction, of the Communist International, which during the last decade has become virtually a bureau of the Russian Communist Party. In the final analysis this means that for better or worse, the policies of the Chinese Communists, like the Communists in every other country, have had to fall in line with, and usually subordinate themselves to, the broad strategic requirements of [[Soviet Russia]], under the dictatorship of [[Stalin]]."<ref>''Red Star Over China'' by Edgar Snow, New York, 1937, pg. 374.</ref>

JoeJN: Added history

'''Aleppo''' is a city in [[Syria]], the next largest after the capital [[Damascus]].

It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, having been occupied since around 5000 BC.

It is famous for its citadel, built by the son of [[Saladin]], [[Ghazni]].

During the [[Syrian War]], Allepo was the site of a bloody battle that saw most of the city destroyed. It's remnants are split between [[Bashar Al-Assad]], and the [[Syrian democratic forces]], with some suburbs under [[Free Syrian Army]] control.

[[Image:Fin de la guerra.jpg|right|thumb|April 1, 1939, General Franco officially ended the war]]
The '''Spanish Civil War''' was a conflict within [[Spain]], from 1936 to 1939, between the Republican forces of the democratically elected Popular Front, a [[left-wing]] coalition including [[Communists]], [[Socialists]] and [[Anarchists]], and the rebel Nationalist forces under [[Francisco Franco|General Francisco Franco]] comprising Monarchists, traditionalists, [[fascism|Fascists]] and Catholics who opposed the Republicans.

The Nationalists were eventually victorious after a number of bloody battles and executed over a hundred thousand of their opponents shortly afterward.

The Leftist Republican forces murdered thousands of [[Catholicism|Catholics]].<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/13/vatican-beatifies-martyrs-killed-spanish-civil-war-pope</ref>

==International participation==
At the time, the [[League of Nations]] barred international participation in the war and set up a Non-Intervention council. Britain and France were among the leading nations proposing non-intervention as a strategy to prevent the ideological conflict in Spain from engulfing all of Europe.

France, however, had sent some material to the Spanish Republicans during the early weeks of the war due to their sympathetic government. This discovery had led Franco to pursue contacts with fascist [[Italy]] and Nazi [[Germany]]. Both of these countries provided massive amounts of aid in weapons and soldiers, most of which was free or provided on credit. Highly notable was Germany's Condor Legion, made up of [[Luftwaffe]] units who played an important role in the war and participated in the famous bombing of Guernica. For the Axis Spain served as a testing ground for the weapons and strategies which they would use during [[World War II]].

The Republicans, no longer able to seek help from France or Britain, went to the [[Soviet Union]] for assistance. The Soviet Union was wary of entering the war outright as it did not wish to come into conflict with the Axis powers. The Soviet Union did sell weapons and foodstuff to the Republican government, but did so at the cost of most of Spain's gold reserves. In addition, instead of providing troops from the Red Army (as Germany and Italy had done from their armies), the USSR sent orders to local Communist parties to organize groups of volunteers to go to fight with the Republicans in Spain, the [[International Brigades]]. Individuals from across Europe (including exiles from Germany and Italy), as well as North America, joined, primarily due to an ideological opposition to fascism. Many famous figures fought in the Brigades, including [[George Orwell]], and [[Laurie Lee]]. In addition to the Brigades, some Soviet military men did go to Spain. These were, however, mostly pilots and tank drivers who accompanied these vehicles as the Republican army did not have men who were experienced with Soviet equipment.
Non-state "volunteers" from many nations, including North American (the so-called [[International Brigades]]), joined the fighting on both sides, including Orwell and [[Laurie Lee]] and military contingents sent by the Soviet Union fought with the Republicans, while Germany and Italy provided forces on the Nationalist side.

== Franco's dictatorship ==
''General Franco's victory marked the beginning of a forty-year dictatorship in Spain (1939-1975). In the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, Hitler sought Franco's support for his own military campaign, but Spain was in no position to provide either financial or human aid. Although the Spanish Civil War had been a training field for the
battles to be waged in the Second World War.''<ref>[http://www.donquijote.org/culture/spain/history/civilwar.asp Spanish Civil War]</ref>

As the war progressed, and an English blockade of Spanish ports brought Spain close to famine, Franco distanced himself from Hitler and started making overtures to the USA. After the war, Spain could not match pre-war industrial and agricultural production. Inflation was rampant and hunger forced many people out of the country and into cities. The rest of Europe was receiving help from the Marshall Plan so Franco continued to woo the US, moving away from the overtly fascist Falangist party and closer to the Catholic church.

The first US aid package was granted in 1953 and Franco replaced all the ideologues in his government with technocrats. As more US aid paid for roads and hydroelectric projects in the 6Os, Franco became slightly more liberal. However, he still did not allow elections and his attitude to communists and regional separatists remained hard. Membership of the Communist Party or one of the regional parties carried the death sentence.

[[Image:German plane.jpg|thumb|right|German plane]]

== Atrocities ==
Atrocities were committed on both sides during the war. At the beginning, over 50,000 people who were caught on the "wrong" side of the lines were assassinated or summarily executed. The whole town of [[Guernica]] was bombed by German and Italian planes on April 26, 1937, resulted in widespread destruction and civilian death; the attacks destroyed the majority of Guernica. It also led to the creation of the phrase, "[[weapons of mass destruction]]". The Battle of the Ebro (1938) ended with a Republican defeat and 70,000 casualties.

On the Republican side, radical factions were responsible for many attacks on Churches, clergy, and members of religious orders. In the book, ''70 Years of the Communist Revolution'', Dr. Warren H. Carroll wrote that the number of priests executed by the Communists were 6,549 and nuns 283.<ref>St. Laurence and The Holy Grail, Janice Bennett, page 197.</ref>

== Spanish War children ==

Spanish War children were evacuated to Britain, Belgium, the Soviet Union, Portugal, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and other European countries. Many of them never came back.

'''World War II''' was a global set of conflicts beginning in 1931 in Asia, 1935 in Africa, and 1939 in Europe, all lasting until 1945, in which the [[Allies|Allied powers]], led after the Fall of France by the [[British Commonwealth]], and including the [[United States]], the [[Soviet Union]], the [[Republic of China]], among many other nations, completely defeated the [[Axis Powers]], led by [[Third Reich|Nazi Germany]], and including [[Italy]], [[Japan]], [[Hungary]], [[Romania]] and [[Bulgaria]]. Although Japan's war against China began in 1937, the main conflict started in September 1939 when Germany and the Soviet Union divided [[Poland]]; [[Britain]] and [[French Third Republic|France]] then declared war on Germany.

The conflict was the deadliest in human history with estimated deaths ranging from 50 million to over 70 million soldiers and civilians.<ref>http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat1.htm#Second</ref> It ended with the Soviet Union dominant in a part of Central Europe and all of Eastern Europe, and the U.S. and its allies dominant in Western Europe, a part of Central Europe and Scandinavia, setting the stage for the [[Cold War]].

==War Begins in Europe==
[[File:58692.gif|thumb|300px|right|By terms of a secret protocol to the [[Nazi-Soviet pact]], [[Poland]] was partitioned with Germany and the USSR each occupying 200,000 square kilometers.]]
{{See also|Molotov-Ribbentrop pact|World War II: 1939}}

In the immediate run up to WWII, there were frequent reports of trespassing Polish troops. On August 31, 1939 German covert operatives staged a fake attack by Polish troops on a German radio station. WWII started on September 1, 1939, when German troops invaded Poland. Hitler justified this as a defensive act, pointing to the frequent border incidents, and said famously that from this moment on Germany would strike back.

The major tactical innovation of the war was the use of combined arms warfare, typified by the German doctrine of [[blitzkrieg]]. In this style of warfare armor, infantry, artillery and air power (see [[Luftwaffe]]) all coordinate to achieve overwhelming superiority at a point on the enemy lines. Armor and fast-moving infantry units then exploit the gap and penetrate deep behind enemy lines. The objective is to cause a widespread collapse of the enemy's ability to fight. It was particularly effective during the early stages of the war, before the Allies developed effective countermeasures.
On September 17, 1939, Poland was invaded from the east by Hitler's ally, [[Josef Stalin|Stalin]].

In 1939-1940, eastern Poland, [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]], [[Lithuania]] and [[Bessarabia]] were invaded and annexed by the Soviet Union.

==War in the West==
[[Image:Caen_sniper.jpg|left|thumb|200px|A Canadian soldier in the ruins of Caen, 9 July 1944]]
Once the invasion of Poland was complete, German forces regrouped while French and British forces remained on the defensive, leading US commentators to dub it the [[Sitzkrieg|Phoney War]]. May 10, 1940 made clear that the war was real, as Germany invaded France, occupying neutral countries such as the [[Netherlands]], [[Luxembourg]] and [[Belgium]] in the process. Resistance by the British and French armies proved ineffective, and France was soon surrendered. British and French troops were routed and evacuated mainland Europe at [[Dunkirk]]. France was divided into the northern [[Occupied France]] and the collaborationist [[Vichy regime]] in the south of France, including [[Corsica]].

The collapse and occupation of France, together with Germany's non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union,<ref>[http://nobsopus.blogspot.com/2007/01/celebrations-marking-60-years-since-end.html Celebrations Marking 60 Years Since the End of World War II], Pavel Vitek, ''Russkii vopros - Studies'', No. 1 2005. Translation from Russian.</ref> Germany's alliance with fascist Italy and an expansionist Japan, the benevolent neutrality of fascist Spain, and the fact that little of Europe was outside Axis control, led many to assume that Britain had been defeated. Indeed, it would appear that the seemingly foolish decision of the relatively weak Britain to continue the war took the Axis powers off guard. This decision ensured the remaining British Empire was still involved in the war, with Japan threatening many British possessions in Asia.

In 1940 [[Denmark]] and [[Norway]] were invaded by German forces, to preempt a British occupation of Norway and occupy its coastline and ports to be used by the [[Kriegsmarine]]. Norway also contained a source of [[Heavy water]], potentially crucial in the construction of an atomic weapon. The operation was successful, but losses were heavy, especially to the Kriegsmarine. This was soon followed by the British troops invited by [[Iceland]] and American occupation of [[Greenland]]. (The goal was to prevent any increase in the range of German air and submarine activity, brought about the occupation of these lands - and of the Azores at the request of the Portuguese Government.)

With Britain the sole opposing European nation, the [[Battle of Britain]] commenced. The [[Luftwaffe]] attempted to achieve aerial dominance over the south of Britain, in order to allow a sea based invasion of the British Isles to proceed. From 10 July to the end of October the [[Royal Air Force]] and the Luftwaffe fought for dominance; the resilience of the RAF, which counted in its ranks also Commonwealth personnel, US volunteers and Polish and Czech exiles, and the use of [[radar]] and its associated early warning systems, had forced a rethink of German tactics. It was the first significant setback for the Germans in the War. They now concentrated on the great population centers, especially London, hoping that huge civilian casualties would weaken morale and lead to a lessening of the war effort by the populace. The period that followed, popularly known as [[the Blitz]], lasted into May 1941. Around 40,000 civilians and civil defense workers died; but the Germans failed to reach their objectives and their resources were soon diverted to the Eastern front as Hitler began concentrating on the impending invasion of the Soviet Union.

With the pressure off their air bases the RAF was now able to increase its nightly raids on industrial sites in Germany and occupied lands. Because of the inability to correctly target these sites, the raids soon turned into “area bombing”, and German civilian casualties rose. These raids were to reach further into Germany as the war progressed and were greatly increased when American bombers began their sorties.

==Winter War & Continuation War==

The Soviet Union invaded [[Finland]], a neutral, on November 30, 1939. This conflict came to be known as the "Winter War". Despite the overwhelming numbers of the Red Army, the Finnish resistance was strong and the battle was hard-fought before the Soviet army took control. Outside powers (including the U.S.) considered intervention to help Finland; only a little aid trickled in and Finland was forced to sue for peace. The peace treaty signed in March 1940 favored the Soviets, but they paid heavily for their victory with 200,000 dead. Finland lost 25,000 dead, and had to absorb 400,000 refugees from areas turned over to the Soviets. In 1941 Finland joined Germany in attacking the Soviets, in the "Continuation War" (1941–44), but lost again. An armistice in Sept. 1944 stabilized the border, using March 1940 lines; in addition Finland had to pay heavy reparations and had to remain neutral in the [[Cold War]].<ref>Roger R. Reese, "Lessons of the Winter War: a Study in the Military Effectiveness of the Red Army, 1939-1940," ''Journal of Military History'' 2008 72(3): 825-852</ref>

==War in the East==
1941 marked the major turning point in the war in Europe, when the Germans undertook [[Operation Barbarossa]] - the invasion of the Soviet Union. Stalin was repeatedly informed by his own spies and anti-German countries that Germany was about to attack; he rejected the accurate reports and paid dearly for the blunder.

[[File:Roosevelt Stalin Churchill on portico of Russian Embassy in Teheran.jpg|thumb|280px|[[Roosevelt]], [[Stalin]], and [[Churchill]] on portico of Russian Embassy in Teheran, during conference — Nov. 28 - Dec. 1, 1943.]]
In June—behind schedule because of diversions in the Balkans—the Germans launched their massive war against the Soviet Union (known as the "Great Patriotic War" in Russia). It was by far the largest, bloodiest, and most decisive phase of World War II. Outside observers in the first few months figured that Germany would win easily. But the Nazi armies were split three ways, logistics became worse and worse as distances grew, and none met their objective by the time the extreme Russian winter of 1941-42 set in. Blitzkrieg had failed against the Soviets, and the Germans lacked the resources to fight a long war against a country with such vast areas and so many more people. The Luftwaffe, which promised to overcome the slowness of ground travel, failed to provide adequate support and was soon matched and outnumbered by the Soviet air force.<ref>The best studies of this theater are by [https://books.google.com/books?as_q=&num=30&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_brr=0&as_pt=ALLTYPES&lr=&as_vt=&as_auth=glantz+david&as_pub=&as_sub=&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_isbn=&as_issn= David Glantz]</ref>

In the third year of war Germany began to suffer from a lack of important resources such as oil. Hitler therefore ordered the German army to take the city of Stalingrad and the oil fields of Baku in South Russia. The operation failed after the 6th German army and parts of the 4th Panzer army were encircled in Stalingrad and completely annihilated. The [[Battle of Stalingrad]] marked a turning point in the war and the Soviet Union started launching their own offensives. After a time of comparatively slow progress, the brilliant Soviet officer, Konstantin Rokossovsky, engineered "Operation Bagration", named-so after the Napoleonic Russian hero. The operation was extremely successful for the Soviets, leading to around 600,000 Soviet casualties and over 500,000 German casualties, including over 60,000 German vehicles and tanks. Furthermore, the German Army Group Center (Heeresgruppe Mitte) ceased to exist as an effective fighting force, due to its massive losses in men and material. Even the Germans' best officer, Erich von Manstein, couldn't turn the situation around. [[V-E Day|Finally, in 1945, Soviet troops stormed Berlin, and forced Nazi Germany into capitulation]].

== Far East and Pacific ==

After Pearl Harbor, the Japanese juggernaut seemed unstoppable. In the south, they conquered the [[Philippines]], the oil-rich Dutch East Indies, Malaysia, and extended their reach as far as the Solomon Islands. In the west, they seized [[Burma]] and the vital port at [[Rangoon]], and even attacked British forces at [[Ceylon]]. The Japanese empire now reached as far as [[Wake Island]] in the east and the Aleutian Islands to the north. Attacks on Japanese targets, including the Doolittle raid, boasted American morale, but did little material damage. In May 1942, Japanese forces were finally halted at the [[Battle of the Coral Sea]], which cost the Americans a precious [[aircraft carrier]], but saved southern [[New Guinea]]. At the [[Battle of Midway]] a month later, the Japanese lost four of their best carriers, suffering a blow to their sea power from which they never recovered.

The Americans took the offensive in August with a landing on the island of [[Guadalcanal]]. The overall American offensive strategy was two-pronged. Forces in the south advanced up the Solomon island chain and New Guinea, while in the central Pacific, Marines took island after island, including [[Battle of Tarawa|Tarawa]], Eniwetok, [[Saipan]], and [[Guam]]. The two lines of attack came together at the Philippines.

Integral to the strategy was the policy of island hopping. Many Japanese strongholds were bypassed, allowing the American forces to concentrate on more strategically significant islands. For example, [[Truk]] and Rabaul were home to major Japanese air and naval bases, but once the bases were neutralized, there was no reason to take on the troops there. This policy not only saved thousands of American (and Japanese) lives, it shortened the war by at least several months.

The American invasion of the Philippines took place in late October 1944 when Marines landed on Leyte Island. A few days later, the US Navy shattered what was left of Japanese naval power in the [[Battle of Leyte Gulf]]. The Japanese fought hard, however, and Leyte took two months to secure. When the Americans landed on the other islands, they found the troops there equally unwilling to retreat, but with American superiority in almost every area, the outcome was never really in doubt. [[Manila]] was captured by March, and the American position had become solid enough that leaders could start preparing for the final stage: [[Operation Downfall|the invasion of Japan]]. The first step was taken when the island of [[Okinawa]] was captured in June after two months of heavy fighting. Operation Olympic, the invasion of [[Kyushu]], was scheduled for November 1945, followed by Operation Coronet, the invasion of [[Honshu]], in March 1946.

The Japanese, soldiers and civilians alike, were expected to put up a fierce defense. Army Chief of Staff [[George C. Marshall]] believed that Japan would fight to the last man, and insisted on preparing for a land invasion of Japan with an army of 2,000,000 men anticipating a tremendous number of casualties. Some analysts estimated the number of projected casualties from Operation Olympic alone at 250,000 dead and wounded.<ref>Historical Atlas of the U.S. Navy, by Craig L. Symonds, the Naval Institute, 1995</ref> For this reason, Washington strongly requested the Soviets declare war on Japan. At the Potsdam conference in mid-July 1945, Stalin told President Truman the Soviets would declare war on Japan but would not give a firm timetable.<ref>Wheeler (1983) p. 58</ref> (This was the last of the four "Allied" conferences, taking place in mid-July 1945; the other three were: the Tehran Conference from November 28 to December 1, 1943; the Cairo Conference from November 22 to November 26, 1943; the Yalta Conference from February 4 to February 11, 1945.)
[[Image:Ww2-asia usma.edu pic.gif|thumb|300px|left|Time Line of Pacific War]]

==Japanese capitulation==
After the successful atom bomb test in the U.S., President Truman was left with the immense task of deciding what to do with the power of the atomic bomb. Truman assembled a committee to advise him. The committee recommended the bomb should be used on the Japanese Empire mainland to save American lives and produce maximum shock to try to convince the Japanese to surrender.<ref>Wheeler (1983) pp. 58-60</ref> Therefore, on August 6, 1945, a B-29 Superfortress, the "Enola Gay" piloted by Paul Tibbet, dropped an atomic bomb (now called a nuclear weapon) on [[Hiroshima]]. Japan's war council still insisted on its four conditions for surrender, refusing unconditional surrender. So on August 9, "Bockscar", a B-29 piloted by Frederick C. Bock dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki.<ref>Wheeler (1983) pp. 94-101</ref> The necessity of the second bombing at Nagasaki has been debated, as the Soviet Union had declared war upon Japan, and Japan was blockaded; however, the Japanese war council still refused unconditional surrender before the second bomb was dropped.

The Soviet Union declared war on Japan at midnight August 8, 1945, in response to the American requests and in a last-minute grab for the spoils of war. It invaded Manchuria and Korea with 1.6 million troops; the Japanese army disintegrated. The Soviets captured 600,000 military and civilian prisoners of war; most of whom never returned home again.<ref>Wheeler (1983) p. 156</ref> It was no longer possible for the Imperial Army to defend the emperor. On August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito by radio broadcast announced Japan would accept the terms of the Allies, unconditional surrender.<ref>Wheeler (1983) pp. 165-167</ref> By follow up message, the Japanese government stated they were surrendering with the understanding the Emperor would remain on the throne and would not be hung as a war criminal. Washington agreed, saying the authority of the emperor would be "subject to the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers." On September 2, 1945, the Japanese Emperor formally surrendered all Japanese forces to the Allies in a famous ceremony aboard the battleship ''USS Missouri'' in Tokyo Bay. This was the ending of World War II, after six years almost to the day.

==Effects of war on empires==

*[[Iron Curtain]]
:The Red army conquered much of eastern Europe and created an "Iron Curtain," destroying independent national governments and making them all subservient to Moscow. The US grudgingly tolerated this imperialism until 1947, when it was Greece's turn. Then the US drew the line and adopted a policy of [[containment]]. Because of the geography of war, [[Yugoslavia]] and [[Albania]] escaped the Red Army. They fell under the control of independent Communists--Yugoslavia received American support, and Albania turned to Red China for help against the Soviets.

*[[British Empire]]
:The war effectively bankrupted Britain, which soon gave up India (which then included Pakistan and Ceylon) and many of its other colonies.

* French Empire
:France saluted its overseas Empire as the savior of France, and wanted control back. That led to nasty large scale wars in Algeria and Vietnam, which France lost.

*the Netherlands and Indonesia
:The Dutch returned to the [[Dutch East Indies]] to face an insurrection they could not handle. Dutch acknowledged in 1949 the sovereignty of [[Indonesia]], a non-Communist state.

*Supremacy of the USA in the Western World
:The war left the U.S. with a vastly stronger economy than anyone else. To save on budget deficits the military was demobilized, but the long-term strategy was in confusion after Roosevelt's death.

H. R. 1

2021-03-04T22:57:27Z

JoeJN: Update

H. R. 1, also known as the For The People Act is a bill in [[the United States]] which would create a dominant party system where it is very difficult for opposition parties to take power. It would declare election day to be a federal holiday, which would tell people to celebrate instead of going to the polls. As this discourages voting, in favor of other activities, it could be viewed as [[voter suppression]]. It would also place the assignment of House districts to a federal commission. This would allow [[gerrymandering]] on a scale never seen before in favor of the party in the government, currently the [[Democratic Party]], and essentially guaranty that the [[legislative branch]] of the US government would remain under [[Democrat]] rule independently. Constitutional Scholars consider this bill to be the greatest threat to American democracy the country has seen in years.<ref>https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/1 - text of H.R. 1</ref>

On the 4th of March in 2021, the bill passed through the house.

==Wikipedia's Slogan==
Far off in the year 2031, Wikipedia has been around for two decades, and is constantly begging for money. They consider the options of shutting down or switching to a paid system, and decide to switch to a membership system where active editors can browse, and anyone else must pay to be an active editor, make a certain quantity of helpful edits, and then browse. They realize, at this point, that they need a new slogan, as they are no longer Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Having very little in their creative minds, the Wikipedia owners crowdsource the new slogan and hold a slogan challenge. Here are some of the winning ideas:

*Wikipedia: If there's a number in blue, then it's gotta be true
*Wikipedia, free the encyclopedia
*Wikipedia: I know you think too, but we think better than you

==Where Laboratory Funding Comes From==
A congressman wondered if a genetics testing laboratory was worth funding, so he went to the lab, where they recognized him immediately as a leading Democrat with influence over several votes in the House. They greeted him, and he asked them, in words he imagined to be deceiving and sagacious, "If I gave you a sample of my DNA, what could you do with it?"

"We could insert other genes into it," suggested a scientist.

"So you could give me dinosaur traits, like in ''Jurassic Park''?"

"No, only if you were still made of stem cells. But we could glean all of your traits from the information," he diverted.

"Except gender; that's indeterminate," a PR scientist added hastily.

"Very well," he smiled, prepared to prove them lying, "Here's a hair sample. Prove it."

They took the hair sample and told him they needed to use the PCR machine and run some tests, but they'd be back in a few months.

"Oh, no - don't try that. What can you tell me ''now''?"

The scientist shrewdly placed the hair in the PCR machine.

"Hmmm...our machines tell us that you are about 5'11", 44 years old, brown hair, brown eyes, 78% Caucasian, not that it matters, in good health, heartbeat 120 beats per minute, blood pressure 100/70, adroit in political matters, a keen athlete, good reaction time, with an aptitude for science ... is that true?"

"It ''is''," replied the Congressman, amazed. "You may not know it - but I am quite ad-what, or whatever you said, in political matters. I'm a Congressman, and this work you do is so amazing, I'll have to vote in favor of funding this lab."

==Conservative Riddles and Puzzles==
What liquid is worth 0.4 cents a gallon to a conservative, but $1.22 per gallon to a liberal?

:Water, whether tap or bottled

==The [[NEA]]==
In a conference room, one teacher is spreading flour and sugar on the chairs, along with some water, beaten eggs, and a hint of vanilla extract. Alarmed, the custodian asks, "What are you doing?" 
"Simple," she replied, "You know how the NEA is going to be using this room later? That's when I'm going to turn up the thermostat." 
"What? Why?" he demands. 
"I'm trying a new recipe for academia nut cookies."

==Election fraud==

:{{See also|Democrat election fraud}}
Ten days before the election Biden openly boasted of having "the most extensive and inclusive [[voter fraud]] organization in history.”<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/10/24/joe-biden-brags-about-having-most-extensive-voter-fraud-organization-in-history/</ref> On a conference call over the Summer, a [[Dominion Voting Systems]] executive in charge of Strategy and Security is reported to have said, "Don’t worry Trump won’t win the election, we fixed that."<ref>https://youtu.be/dh1X4s9HuLo</ref>
[[File:Electoral Map 11-10-20.png|right|200px|thumb|Electoral Map as of November 10, 2020. Biden 227, Trump 231, 80 uncounted.<ref>https://www.forexlive.com/news/!/decision-desk-trump-won-the-state-of-north-carolina-20201110</ref>]]
At 2:30 AM EDT of the 4th of November 2020, TV broadcasts reported that Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada and Georgia decided to cease vote counting operations and would continue the following day. This unanimous decision to initially and intentionally stop counting by all five battleground states was unprecedented, and it demonstrates prior coordination by election officials in battleground states. This allowed for more time to manufacture fraudulent ballots.

An independent forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems machines used in [[Michigan]] concluded:
{{quotebox-float|“The Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. ...The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study we conclude that the Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan....The allowable election error rate established by the [[Federal Election Commission]] guidelines is of 1 in 250,000 ballots (.0008%). We observed an error rate of 68.05%. This demonstrated a significant and fatal error in security and election integrity."<ref>https://www.depernolaw.com/uploads/2/7/0/2/27029178/antrim_michigan_forensics_report_[121320]_v2_[redacted].pdf</ref>}}
The chairman of the [[Federal Election Commission]], Trey Trainor, said there was voter fraud in key states. “The massive amounts of affidavits that we see in these cases show that there was in fact [[fraud]] that took place.”<ref>https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/federal-election-commission-chairman-trump-campaign-bringing-legitimate</ref>

[[NBC News]] reported in December 2019,
{{quotebox|"Chinese manufacturers can be forced to cooperate with requests from Chinese intelligence officials to share any information about the technology and therefore pose a risk for U.S. companies, NBC News analyst Frank Figliuzzi, a former assistant director of the FBI for counterintelligence, said.

In January 2020 [[Dominion Election Systems]] [[CEO]] John Poulos testified before Congress that Dominion machines are composed of parts manufactured in China from "screen on the interface down to the chip component level." Under questioning from Democrat Congresswoman [[Zoe Lofgren]], Poulos claimed, "there’s no option for manufacturing of those in the United States."<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/news/dominion-uses-chinese-parts/</ref> The Chinese Communist Party endorsed Biden for president in the 2020 presidential election.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/us-intelligence-china-biden-russia-trump-election-2020-8</ref>

In 2016 Dominion Voting Systems Vice President of Engineering [[Eric Coomer]] was asked if it was possible to bypass election systems software and go directly to the data tables that manage systems running elections in [[Illinois]]. His response was, “Yes, if they have access.”<ref>https://www.thepostemail.com/2016/09/01/critical-flaws-in-election-security-confirmed-by-dominion-voting-executive/</ref> Bypassing the election systems software means whoever has access can potentially manipulate the vote without many risks of detection.

===Ignoring mail-in ballot safeguards===

[[File:PA mail-in fraud.jpeg|right|350px|thumb|Pennsylvania mailed out 1.8 Million mail-in ballots, buy got back 2.5 million.<ref>https://youtu.be/2AYSs77k2tY</ref>]]
[[Pennsylvania]] Secretary of Commonwealth [[Kathy Boockvar]] and the county officials repeatedly ignored essential safeguards for absentee and mail-in voting which require “procedural safeguards to deter fraud and ensure transparency” due to “inherent risk.” In December 2019, Pennsylvania’s auditor general, Eugene DePasquale, determined that there are more than 50,000 cases of potentially inaccurate voter records in the state’s system.

On October 31, 2019, Pennsylvania’s legislature passed Act 77, which allowed all Pennsylvania voters the option of voting by mail without providing a reason or excuse. Yet mail-in voting still requires a ballot application and the election code still bars ballot harvesting except in the case of disabled voters. Pennsylvania law still requires ballots that have been filled out incompletely or incorrectly to be declared void and it does not permit election boards to give voters who cast improper ballots a “notice and opportunity to cure” those ballots.

Importantly, Act 77 prohibits a voter from casting both a mail-in ballot and an in-person ballot, unless the voter returns an unvoted mail-in ballot and declares that he or she has not voted by mail. The lawsuit alleged,
{{quotebox-float|“Defendants failed to take adequate measures to ensure that the provisions of the Election Code enacted to protect the validity of absentee or mail-in ballots, including without limitation Act 77, were followed.”}}
115% of Pennsylvania registered Democrats voted for Biden. Biden supposedly received 1.24 to 1.43 times greater than either [[Hillary Clinton]] or [[Barack Obama]] in predominant Republican counties.<ref>https://twitter.com/RaheemKassam/status/1325193658170134531</ref>

On an evening just prior to the Electoral College certification of the 2020 stolen presidential election, [[Antifa]] thugs terrorized the home of [[Sen. Josh Hawley]], where Sen.

==Compromised by the CCP==
[[File:Biden-Xi toast.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Biden toasts CCP boss [[Xi Jinping]]. According to the ''Black Book of Communism'', the leftist regime of Beijing has murdered more than 60 million of its own people over its 70 years of existence.]]
The Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement at the University of Pennsylvania received $70 million form the [[Communist Chinese]] government. The Biden Center did not disclose the money came from China, as required by law.<ref>https://nlpc.org/2020/05/21/complaint-filed-against-university-of-pennsylvania-and-biden-center-for-undisclosed-china-mega-donations/</ref> Biden personally received $900,000 from the Biden Center, money which may have originated with Chinese communists.<ref>https://www.dickmorris.com/penn-univ-paid-biden-900000-wont-say-how-much-was-from-china-lunch-alert/#commentblock</ref>
Biden's son [[Hunter Biden]] is partnered with the [[People's Republic of China|Chinese state]]. Joe Biden holds a 10% interest. Hunter's entire investment partnership uses Chinese state money from its social security fund to the China Development Bank. The partnership, [[Bohai Harvest|Bohai Harvest RST]], is actually a subsidiary of the Bank of China.

Though the entire size of the fund cannot be reconstructed, a co-founder who is now detained in China, reports that Bohai Harvest RST is not the $1-1.5 billion reported, but rather $6.5 billion. Hunter's stake, as of 2020, is worth at least $50 million if he were to sell it.

All players on the Chinese side of the partnership are linked with influence and intelligence organizations. China uses very innocuous sounding organization names to mask [[PLA]], United Front, or the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs influence/intelligence operations. Hunter was the target of an operation to compromise him and his father.

The operational mastermind behind the efforts to compromise the Biden family is a man named [[Yang Jiechi]]. He is currently the CCP Director of Foreign Affairs leading strategist on [[America]], a [[Politburo]] member, one of the most powerful men in China, and [[Xi Jinping]] confidant. As Chinese ambassador to the United States when Biden chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he met regularly with Senator Biden. Later he was Minister of Foreign Affairs when the Bohai Harvest RST investment partnership was made official in 2013.

Yang Jiechi is the point person in China for dealing with the United States. This raises major [[national Security]] concerns about a [[Biden administration]] dealing impartially with an individual in this capacity. These are documented facts from Chinese corporate records such as IPO prospectuses and media, and raise very valid concerns about Biden linkages to China.<ref>https://www.baldingsworld.com/2020/10/22/report-on-biden-activities-with-china/</ref>

In a recorded call made sometime after [[Ye Jianming]], Hunter's business partner, went missing in February 2018, Hunter is heard speaking in an agitated tone,
{{quotebox-float|"I get calls from my father to tell me that ''[[The New York Times]]'' is calling, but my old partner, Eric, who literally has done me harm for I don’t know how long, is the one taking the calls because my father will not stop sending the calls to Eric.

====CCP collusion====
On November 28, 2020 a top Chinese economics professor told students in Beijing how the [[People's Republic of China]] was able to easily settle disputes with prior American administrations because they have people at the top of America, specifically on [[Wall Street]]. But when President Trump was elected, all that Chinese influence went away. "Wall Street can't fix Trump," the professor said.<ref>https://youtu.be/yB07iLF2ZWw</ref> Di Dongsheng, a vice-dean at the School of International Relations at Renmin University, made public statements before a large audience:
{{Quotebox-float|"We know that the [[Trump administration]] is in a trade war with us, so why can’t we fix the Trump administration? Why did China and the US used to be able to settle all kinds of issues between 1992 and 2016?" he asked. "I’m going to throw out something maybe a little bit explosive here. It’s just because we have people at the top. We have our old friends who are at the top of America’s core inner circle of power and influence."

"During the US-China trade war, [[Wall Street]] tried to help, and I know that my friends on the US side told me that they tried to help, but they couldn’t do much. But now we’re seeing Biden was elected, the traditional elite, the political elite, the establishment, they’re very close to Wall Street, so you see that, right?"

In addition to Biden's longstanding alliance with fellow Democrat segregationists in the U.S. Senate, Biden is known for a history of making racially insensitive remarks. Reportedly, Biden’s political approach to race has long been geared toward assuaging the racial anxieties of white voters. Biden exposed his racial insensitivity towards the 2008 Democratic Presidential candidate and running mate, Barack Obama, when he declared, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." He later claimed, "Barack Hussein Obama is change enough for most people."<ref>Ryan Grim | ''The Intercept_'', Joe Biden’s Stunningly Racist Answer on the Legacy of Slavery Has Been Overlooked, https://theintercept.com/2019/09/13/joe-biden-democratic-debate-slavery/, September 13, 2019</ref> Biden called [[Confederacy|Confederate flag]] advocates "very fine people"<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-biden-praises-group-who-display-the-confederate-flag-as-fine-people-in-resurfaced-video</ref> and a disproportionate share of the U.S. military which are minorities as "stupid bastards"<ref>https://youtu.be/lfmy0FQRoNc</ref>

Democrat presidential nominee former [[Vice President]] [[Joe Biden]] made a particularly offensive and egregious [[racist]] comment toward [[African American]]'s during a radio interview.<ref>https://youtu.be/GaTv5FQHqVw</ref> Biden's comments were an effort at [[voter intimidation]].

Biden won the Democrat presidential nomination when South Carolina Rep. [[James Clyburn]] endorsed him, and the dominos of the Democrat machine fell into place. In short choreographed order, the remaining white candidates, Amy Klobuchar, [[Pete Buttigieg]], Tom Steyer, [[Michael Bloomberg]] and a host of local officials began goosestepping in lockstep. Kamala Harris,<ref>https://archive.vn/2Smfh</ref> [[Cory Booker]], [[Julian Castro]], and [[Tulsi Gabbard]] had been driven out earlier in a rigged process that allowed rich white billionaires - Steyer and Bloomberg - to buy their way in once all the minority candidates were forced out.<ref>https://legalinsurrection.com/2020/02/michael-moore-goes-ballistic-on-dnc-for-changing-debate-rules-for-bloomberg/</ref> Clyborn admitted he cringed when he heard Biden's racist attack on Black people.<ref>https://youtu.be/HNgrTu1YhuU</ref>

Biden cynically tried to take advantage of George Floyd's killing, which occurred only days later, to repair his relations with Blacks by attacking the police and accusing them of [[systemic racism]]. Police groups and unions which Biden courted since the 1990s on behalf of the [[Clinton administration]] with the [[Biden Crime Bill]], mass incarceration, and effort to put 100,000 new cops on the street to deal with "Superpredators", responded by withdrawing their support.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/04/police-groups-joe-biden-300222</ref>

When Biden supporters tore down statues of [[George Washington]] and [[Thomas Jefferson]] because they were slave owners, Biden never condemned the violence and vandalism and accused President Trump of being America's first racist president. Biden conveniently overlooked the racism of President's [[Woodrow Wilson]] and [[Lyndon Johnson]], and a dozen other Democrat presidents who were slave owners.

Biden's decades long collaboration with segregationist Senators, there is no record of Biden ever calling them "clown's, "racists", or telling them to "shut up". Contrarily, Biden had nothing but kind and loving words of praise at their retirements and funerals.

In 1972 Biden re-cycled the [[John_C._Calhoun#positive good|racist rhetoric of John C. Calhoun]], arguing that school segregation was a "positive good" for Blacks. Calhoun famously laid out his doctrine of separation of the races as a civilizing force among Blacks which became Democrat talking points before the [[Dred Scott]] decision, throughout the [[Civil War]], [[Reconstruction]], the [[Jim Crow]] era, and the [[New Deal]]. In a Democrat [[filibuster]] on the floor of the [[Senate]], Calhoun famously said:
{{quotebox-float|"I hold that in the present state of civilization, where two races of different origin, and distinguished by color, and other physical differences, as well as intellectual, are brought together, the relation now existing in the slaveholding States between the two, is, instead of an evil, a good—a positive good."}}
Biden resurrected the idea that segregation was "for their own good" and that Blacks were grateful for it.
{{Quotebox-float|“I think the concept of busing … that we are going to [[integrate]] people so that they all have the same access and they learn to grow up with one another and all the rest, is a rejection of the whole movement of black pride, a rejection of the entire black awareness concept, where black is beautiful, black culture should be studied; and the cultural awareness of the importance of their own identity, their own individuality.”<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/read-the-transcript-of-the-october-1975-npr-interview-with-sens-joe-biden-and-edward-brooke</ref>}}
[[File:Biden racial jungle.jpeg|right|300px|thumb|Biden: "My children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle."<ref>https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-racial-jungle-quote/</ref>]]
In the 21st century Biden tried to separate himself from his previous racist statements on school integration:
{{quotebox-float|"Poor kids are just as smart as white kids."}}
Biden led a coalition of segregationists that was opposed by Republican Sen. [[Edward Brooke]], the first [[African American]] senator elected since Democrats forced the end of [[Reconstruction]] after the [[American Civil War|Civil War]]. National Public Radio's David Ensor asked Biden, "What about a constitutional amendment? Isn’t that what you’re gonna have to end up supporting if you want to stop court ordered busing, too?" Biden responded,
{{Quotebox-float|"That would clearly do it. I’m hopeful, and I have — now that I have some sort of new allies in this area, it’s become respectable now for [[liberal]]s to at least say publicly what they’ve been saying in private, that busing doesn’t work. We are trying to figure out whether or not we can come up with an innovative piece of legislation which would limit the remedy, and I don’t — honestly don’t know whether we can come up with something constitutional. And if we can’t, I will not in an attempt to eliminate busing violate the Constitution. I won’t do that. The only way, if I’m gonna go at it, I’m gonna go at it through a Constitutional Amendment if it can’t be done through a piece of legislation."}}
Ensor reported that Biden proposed renewing segregation because busing "wasn't working" ("wasn't working" to the electoral advantage of Democrats and not necessarily to the cause of equal rights for Blacks), and Biden was afraid that older liberal colleagues were blind to how Black separatists felt about their children being bused to [[white]] schools.
{{Quotebox-float|"There are those of we [[social experiment|social planner]]s who think somehow that if we just [[subrogate]] man’s individual characteristics and traits by making sure that a presently heterogeneous society becomes a totally homogeneous society, that somehow we’re going to solve our social ills. Quite to the contrary."}}
Title VI of the [[1964 Civil Rights Act]] prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance.<ref>https://quizlet.com/45411923/ethical-and-legal-issues-2-flash-cards/</ref> Biden told the ''Philadelphia Enquirer'' on October 12, 1975:
{{quotebox-float|“Liberals have rejected common sense. Anybody who has studied the area knows that we don't have a workable rehabilitation program. Yet we continue to insist that the function of prison is to rehabilitate, not punish. I think the Democratic Party could stand a liberal [[George Wallace]] — someone who’s not afraid to stand up and offend people, someone who wouldn’t pander but would say what the American people know in their gut is right”<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/deep-personal-relationships-joe-bidens-six-segregationist-friends</ref>}}
George Wallace praised Biden as "one of the outstanding young politicians of America."<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/joe-biden-once-said-democrats-needed-a-liberal-george-wallace</ref> Wallace is famous for coining the slogan in a gubernatorial inaugural address,

The same year Biden authored an amendment to gut Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. ''[[Politico]]'' writes of the whole sordid affair, {{quotebox-float|Biden morphed into a leading anti-busing crusader—all the while continuing to insist that he supported the goal of school desegregation, he only opposed busing as the means to achieve that end. This stance, which many of Biden’s liberal and moderate colleagues also held, was clever but disingenuous. It enabled Biden to choose votes over principles, while acting as if he was not doing so....In a seminal moment, the Senate thus turned against desegregation.

Sen. James Abourezk of [[South Dakota]] related how Biden reacted when Abrourezek tried to block the amendment:
{{quotebox-float|‘Abourezk, you **********, if I ever vote for another one of your bills, it'll be a cold day in hell.'

‘Calm down, Joe,' I told him, ‘You're eventually gonna thank me for doing this.'

‘Like hell I will you dirty *******.'

A few days later, Biden came into the scheduled committee meeting, this time with a broad, friendly grin aimed directly at me.

‘Jesus, Abourezk, you were right,' he said. ‘I am gonna thank you. You should see the Delaware newspapers—big front-page headlines saying, ‘Biden Battles Liberals in Washington.' He was unabashedly elated. ‘They love me back home, how did you know this would happen?'<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/biden-exploded-at-dem-colleague-over-busing-called-him-dirty-bastard/</ref>}}
''The New York Times'' published a lengthy story on Biden's advocacy of segregation. In a 1977 congressional hearing related to anti-desegregation orders, Biden emphasized,
{{quotebox-float|"Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle."<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/15/us/politics/biden-busing.html</ref>}}
Republican Sen. [[Edward Brooke]], the first black senator ever to be popularly elected, called Biden's amendment “the greatest symbolic defeat for [[civil rights]] since 1964.” Brooke accused Biden of leading an assault on integration.

Prof. Ronnie Dunn said opposition to busing was motivated by [[racism]] and that without the court-ordered policy Biden probably would not have become vice president in 2009. “What I find ironic is that [Biden] was the vice president under a president who, if it hadn’t been for the social interaction that occurred during the era of busing, I argue we likely would not have seen the election of Barack Obama." Dunn, an Urban Studies professor at Cleveland State University and author of the book ''Boycotts, Busing, & Beyond'', said Biden made the case in favor of maintaining segregation. "That was an argument against desegregation.” Dunn said Biden must address the issue if he runs for president. “People have to be held accountable."<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/joe-biden-embraced-segregation-in-1975-claiming-it-was-a-matter-of-black-pride</ref>

===Superpredators===
[[File:Joe Biden.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Biden [[collude]]d with segregationists to undermine the Supreme Court decision of ''Brown vs. Board''.]]
In a 1993 Senate floor speech, Biden warned of "predators on our streets" who were "beyond the pale" and said they must be cordoned off from the rest of society because the justice system did not know how to rehabilitate them. Biden described a {{quotebox-float|"cadre of young people, tens of thousands of them, born out of wedlock, without parents, without supervision, without any structure, without any conscience developing because they literally ... because they literally have not been socialized, they literally have not had an opportunity."}}
Biden went on in the same breath, {{quotebox-float|"It doesn't matter whether or not the person that is accosting your son or daughter or my son or daughter, my wife, your husband, my mother, your parents, it doesn't matter whether or not they were deprived as a youth. It doesn't matter whether or not they had no background that enabled them to become socialized into the fabric of society. It doesn't matter whether or not they're the victims of society. The end result is they're about to knock my mother on the head with a lead pipe, shoot my sister, beat up my wife, take on my sons."}}
Biden said, that he didn't care "why someone is a malefactor in society" and that criminals needed to be "away from my mother, your husband, our families." Biden added "we should focus on them now" because "if we don't, they will, or a portion of them, will become the predators 15 years from now."

Biden's comments echoed first lady [[Hillary Clinton]]'s inflammatory statement about "Superpredators" with "no conscience, no empathy" and "we need to bring them to heel."

===Biden Crime Bill===
:{{Main article|The New Jim Crow}}
Biden was a staunch opponent of school desegregation in the 1970s and leading crusader for mass incarceration in the 1980s and 1990s. Biden described [[African American]] felons in the aftermath of the Central Park Five jogger case as 'predators' too [[sociopath]]ic to rehabilitate,<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/07/politics/biden-1993-speech-predators/index.html</ref> and [[white supremacist]] senators as his friends.

Biden boasts as one of his greatest legislative achievements passage of the 1994 Crime bill which locked up 10% of the Black adult male population of the United States.<ref>http://www.prisonpolicy.org/research/incarceration_rates_growth_causes/</ref>

When [[President George H.W. Bush]] asked for a record increase in funding to fight the [[War on Drugs]], Biden told a TV interviewer {{Quotebox|"In a nutshell, the President's plan does not include enough police officers to catch the violent thugs, enough prosecutors to convict them, enough judges to sentence them or enough prison cells to put them away for a long time."<ref>http://articles.latimes.com/1989-09-06/news/mn-1646_1_drug-war</ref><ref>http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/12/first-step-act-skepticism.html</ref>}} [[File:1994 Superpredator Act.jpg|left|350px|thumb|The Superpredator Act of 1994. Feinstein, Kerry and Biden are clearly visible with President Clinton. The bill is known for its sentencing disparities which led to mass incarceration of Blacks.<ref>https://fair.org/home/senate-crime-bill-unscrutinized-by-the-press/</ref>]] Biden, [[Ted Kennedy]], and [[Strom Thurmond]] worked on proposals that raised maximum penalties, removed a directive requiring the US Sentencing Commission to take into account prison capacity, and created the cabinet-level “drug czar” position. In 1984, they passed the Comprehensive Crime Control Act, which, among other things, abolished [[parole]], imposed a less generous cap on “good time” sentence reductions, and allowed the Sentencing Commission to issue more punitive guidelines.

Biden bragged on the Senate floor that it was under his and Thurmond's leadership that Congress passed a law sending anyone caught with a rock of cocaine the size of a quarter to jail for a minimum of five years - the notoriously racist hundred-to-one sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. In the same speech Biden took credit for [[civil asset forfeiture]] and seizure laws, and demanded to know why [[Papa Bush]] hadn't sentenced more drug dealers to life in prison or exercise the [[death penalty]] once Congress had given him that power.<ref name="c-span.org"/>

Biden's version of a new crime bill added more than forty crimes that would be eligible for the [[death penalty]]. Biden boasted “we do everything but hang people for jaywalking.”<ref name="books.google.com"/> The [[NAACP]] and other groups lobbied against the bill.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/1991/10/27/us/civil-libertarians-go-after-crime-bills.html</ref> Although the 1991 crime bill was defeated by Republicans, the 1994 Biden/Clinton crime bill was passed.<ref>''[https://books.google.com/books?id=SGUJBAAAQBAJ&lpg=PT142&dq=biden%20strongly%20believes%20the%20administration%20needs%20to%20seize%20control%20of%20the%20issue%20by%20upping%20the%20ante&pg=PT142#v=onepage&q=biden%20strongly%20believes%20the%20administration%20needs%20to%20seize%20control%20of%20the%20issue%20by%20upping%20the%20ante&f=false The First Civil Right: How Liberals Built Prison America]'', Naomi Murakawa.</ref>

By 2001, the United States had the highest rate of incarceration in the world. [[Human Rights Watch]] reported that in seven states, African Americans constituted 80 to 90 percent of all drug offenders even though they were no more likely than whites to use or sell illegal drugs. Prison admissions for drug offenses reached a level in 2000 for African Americans more than 26 times the level they had been under [[Ronald Reagan]].<ref>[https://www.thenation.com/article/hillary-clinton-does-not-deserve-black-peoples-votes/ Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote], Michelle Alexander, ''The Nation'', February 10, 2016</ref> Biden's "social planning" had proven effective.

In May 2019 journalist and historian Shaun King observed, {{Quotebox|I’ve heard a very dangerous lie being told about how the systems of mass incarceration were built in this nation. I didn’t expect to have to respond this way because I didn’t expect Joe Biden to lie about the 1994 Crime Bill. He wrote it. He fought for it. And the results were devastating. Every single expert on this topic agrees. This week Joe Biden took the stance that not only is he not sorry for the Crime Bill, but that it didn’t even increase mass incarceration. And it’s shameful because either he’s willfully lying, which is horrible, or he’s just plain ignorant about the true impact of the bill, which is also horrible. Either way, I have a major problem with it because these laws are still in effect and they are doing damage in our communities every single day, 24 hours a day.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/shaunking/videos/688203931610804/</ref>}}
The Leftist ''Jacobin'' magazine summed up Biden's record:
{{Quotebox-float|"It’s not as if Biden didn’t know what he was doing.... He just didn’t care. Biden had made a calculated decision that the elections he would win were worth the damage he inflicted.... But even if Biden has subsequently learned the error of his ways, the rank cynicism and callousness involved in his two-decade-long championing of carceral policies should be more than enough to give anyone pause about his qualities as a leader, let alone a [[progressive]] one."<ref>https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/08/biden-crime-mass-incarceration-police-prisons</ref>}}

===Mass incarceration===

===Anita Hill hearings===
Biden as chair of the Judiciary Committee, called for extended hearings to delay a vote on Thomas and accommodate her last-minute allegations with televised hearings that traumatized the country. Biden told Sen. [[Arlen Specter]] that “It was clear to me from the way she was answering the questions, [Hill] was lying” about the central theme of her testimony. Biden used [[homophobia]], allegations by a Republican Senator that Anita Hill had "certain proclivities" to discredit her testimony, to attack Hill's critics while at the same time fight the nomination of an [[uppity]] Black. Biden has been widely criticized for his [[racist]], [[sexist]], and [[bigot]]ted handling of the hearings.<ref>https://www.essence.com/news/politics/joe-biden-anita-hill-comment-2020-presidential-run/</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/sM19YOqs7hU</ref>

Thomas said he would rather have been the victim of an assassin's bullet than suffer what the hearings did to him.<ref>http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,974074,00.html</ref> [[Democrat]]s were outraged that a [[Republican]] president would nominate a [[conservative]] [[African-American]] role model for Black youths to the Supreme Court.

Hill described her private conversation with Joe Biden shortly before he entered the [[2020 presidential election]] as "deeply unsatisfying."<ref>https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/anita-hill-says-recent-conversation-with-joe-biden-was-deeply-unsatisfying</ref>

===Flagship of the Confederacy===
:{{See also|Southern Manifesto}}
The Southern Manifesto was a document written after the landmark Supreme Court 1954 ruling [[Brown v. Board of Education]], which integrated public schools. It was drawn up by legislators in the [[United States Congress]] opposed to racial integration in public places. It was signed by politicians from the former [[Confederate States of America|Confederate States]]. All but twenty-eight of the 138 southern Democrat members of Congress signed the Manifesto, including 19 of the Majority Democrat Senators.<ref>https://d1lexza0zk46za.cloudfront.net/history/am-docs/southern-manifesto.pdf</ref>

The Southern Manifesto was signed on a large mahogany conference table in Sen. [[John Stennis]]' office which Stennis used as his desk and referred to as "the flagship of the [[Confederacy]]."<ref>[https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CDOC-111sdoc23/pdf/CDOC-111sdoc23.pdf p. x]</ref> The table was used by segregationist and co-signer of the Southern Manifesto, Sen. [[Richard Russell]], before his retirement. When Stennis retired in 1988, Biden took over Stennis' office, including the conference table. When Biden was elected vice-president in 2008, Biden had the conference table moved into the vice-president's office.<ref>[https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/resources/pdf/Kaufman_Oral_History.pdf pg. 51]</ref>

===Xenophobia===
Biden told an audience in 2006,

Folks, I voted for a fence. I voted and, unlike most Democrats - some of you won't like it - I voted for 700 miles of fence. Let me tell you, we can build a fence 40 stories high - unless we change the dynamic in Mexico, and you will you like this - and punish American employers who knowingly violate the law when in fact they hire illegals. Unless you do those two things, all the rest is window dressing. Now I know I'm not supposed to say it that bluntly. But they are facts. They are the facts.

And so, everything else we do is in between here, everything else we do is at the margin. The reason why I thought, parenthetically, why I believe the fence is needed is not really related to immigration as much as drugs. I'm the guy who wrote the national crime bill.

==Biden junta==
:{{See also|Biden Junta}}
The Biden junta seized power through a coup via [[Democrat election fraud|extensive voter fraud]] on November 4, 2020 and formally installed itself on January 20, 2021. Biden's installation as "president" turned out to be a complete sham compared with the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, 2017, as a photo comparison of the two inaugurations showed that compared to the hundreds of thousands who attended the Trump inauguration (with the crowd stretching from the Capitol all the way to the Washington Monument), Biden's installation was very sparsely attended, with what appeared to be no more than a few dozen members of the public present at most;<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/clear-based-comparison-president-trumps-2017-inauguration-bidens-inauguration-biden-no-support-election-suspect/ It’s Clear Based on a Comparison Between President Trump’s 2017 Inauguration and Biden’s Inauguration that Biden Has No Support and Election Is Suspect

To cover for this, Biden's handlers also claimed that the complete lack of a crowd presence was due to "tight security" (i.e. the presence of 25,000 military troops and wartime-level security measures) being needed due to what they claimed was the "threat of violence"; conversely, the return of President Trump and his family to their home at Mar-a-Lago in Florida was far better attended, with tens of thousands lining the route between the Palm Beach International Airport and Mar-a-Lago to greet the Trump family.

===Mental capacity===
Four weeks into the junta, ''[[Politico]]'' reported that nearly three dozen House Democrats called on Biden to relinquish his sole authority to launch [[nuclear weapon]]. “...Vesting one person with this authority entails real risks...Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that caused other officials to express concern about the president’s judgment...While any president would presumably consult with advisors before ordering a nuclear attack, there is no requirement to do so...The military is obligated to carry out the order if they assess it is legal under the laws of war. Under the current posture of U.S. nuclear forces, that attack would happen in minutes.”<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-defense/2021/02/23/tester-outlines-defense-budget-strategy-793538?cid=su_tw_md</ref> The effort was spearheaded by Democrat Reps. [[Jimmy Panetta]] and [[Ted Lieu]] after both international and national media questioned Biden's mental capacity and the threat it posed to national security.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/believe-joe-bidens-mental-state-clear-national-security-threat-newsmax-host-grant-stinchfield-joe-bidens-dementia-video/</ref><ref>https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6233603126001</ref>

===Attack on civil liberties===
CNET reported the following back in 2008:
{{Quotebox-float|“Months before the [[Oklahoma City bombing]] took place, Biden introduced another bill called the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995. It previewed the 2001 Patriot Act by allowing secret evidence to be used in prosecutions, expanding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and wiretap laws, creating a new federal crime of ‘terrorism’ that could be invoked based on political beliefs, permitting the U.S. military to be used in civilian law enforcement, and allowing permanent detention of non-U.S. citizens without judicial review. The Center for National Security Studies said the bill would erode ‘constitutional and statutory due process protections’ and would ‘authorize the Justice Department to pick and choose crimes to investigate and prosecute based on political beliefs and associations.’<ref>https://www.thebigsmoke.com.au/2021/01/10/joe-biden-authored-the-patriot-act-now-hes-promised-new-domestic-terror-laws/</ref>}}
Even ''Jacobin'' magazine noted, "The danger is real that the [[Capitol riot|January 6 Capitol attack]] will be used as an excuse to severely curtail our civil liberties."<ref>https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/01/joe-biden-domestic-terrorism-bill-capitol-building</ref>

===Antifa===
Biden refused to denounce terrorist Anarcho-coummunist group of [[Antifa]] during the first debate with president Donald Trump. He claimed they are "just an idea", not an organization. He pretends that [[FBI]] Bureau’s director Chris Wray told lawmakers that Antifa is an ideology not a terrorist group, but the fact this is not what Wray said, Wray said: “any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchist extremists,” which included individuals who identity with Antifa.<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/news/biden-says-antifa-is-an-idea-not-an-organization-during-presidential-debate/ Biden Says Antifa Is ‘An Idea, Not An Organization’ during Presidential Debate]</ref> It appears that Biden and Antifa have some relations, as when someone looks up the website Antifa.com, Biden's election campaign page will appear.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHDVYKgLODY</ref>

===Fracking===
During the Democrat primary elections Biden stated several times that he will end [[Fracking|fracking]].<ref>[https://www.atr.org/biden-yes-we-should-end-fracking?amp Biden: "Yes" We Should End Fracking]</ref><ref>[https://www.newsweek.com/biden-claimed-he-never-wanted-ban-fracking-he-did-1541552 Biden Claimed He Never Wanted to Ban Fracking. He Did]</ref> After winning the primary elections he pretended that he had never said that he will end fracking to his supporters in [[Pennsylvania]], and he declined to comment further on ending fracking. The [[Washington Post]] admitted that Biden will lose his popularity in Pennsylvania because of his comments on fracking.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-fracking-unions-pennsylvania/2020/10/22/447d31de-12cf-11eb-ad6f-36c93e6e94fb_story.html Biden's fracking comments could cost him Pennsylvania ...]</ref>

===Police===
Biden flip-flops on defunding police. He changed his positions three times on defunding police.<ref>https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/2020/08/26/joe-biden-flips-defund-police-how-can-we-trust-him/3424969001/</ref> On July 8, 2020 he agreed on defunding some levels of police.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppoUCQLSXFE</ref> In the first presidential debate, Biden accused police and falsely called them ‘systemic racists’. <ref>https://www.teletrader.com/biden-systemic-racism-in-us-present-beyond-police/news/details/52383496?internal=1&ts=1604959273788&culture=de-CH</ref>

===Supreme court===
Biden wants to violate the Constitution by expanding Supreme court members.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/22/us/politics/biden-supreme-court-packing.html</ref> At the presidential debate, Biden refused to confirm that.<ref> https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/22/joe-biden-court-packing-judicial-reforms-commission-431157</ref>

===Illegal Immigration===
Biden didn’t consider Illegal immigrants as illegals, he calls them instead "undocumented immigrants". <ref> https://joebiden.com/immigration/</ref> In a presidential debate he admitted that he will give citizenship to 11 million illegal immigrants. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbzEuEr7Fio</ref> Biden stated that he wants to reform ICE policies, without saying which of these policies he wants to reform. <ref> https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/biden-knocks-left-wing-of-democratic-party-we-shouldnt-abolish-ice</ref>

The junta stepped up the "Babies in Cages" program initially begun under the Obama administration.<ref>https://thepoliticalinsider.com/wh-press-secretary-jen-psaki-defends-biden-reopening-babies-in-cages-migrant-program/</ref>

===Gun rights===
Biden plans to control people's right to own guns, for example, banning semi-automatic firearms.<ref>https://joebiden.com/gunsafety/#</ref> He pretends that his plan does not violate the [[Second Amendment]].<ref>[https://www.nraila.org/articles/20200921/joe-biden-told-voters-the-second-amendment-does-not-protect-an-individual-right Joe Biden Told Voters the Second Amendment DOES NOT Protect an Individual Right]</ref> Biden has no tolerance for anyone who opposes his anti-gun campaign, on 10 March 2020 he threatened to fight a civilian worker in Detroit, and disrespected him by calling him 'Full of Sh*t' because he mentioned Joe's past statements.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k2UeoY4uyU</ref>

===Islam===
Biden plans to bring hundreds of thousands of Muslims from radical countries.<ref>[https://www.newsweek.com/dncs-deepening-embrace-radical-islamists-opinion-1527239 The DNC's Deepening Embrace of Radical Islamists | Opinion]</ref> Biden was criticized when he promised to let kids learn Sharia law in public schools.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCkqSZp6nkc Why Joe Biden Wants to Teach Your Kids Islam]</ref> To convince Muslims to vote for him he used one of the most radical hadiths: whoever sees evil let him change by his hand, if he cannot then with his tongue, if he cannot then with his heart (by hating), and that's the weakest faith. This is same hadith which was used by the [[September 11, 2001 attack]] perpetrators.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOhjQ9qoVJw Joe Biden Accidentally Calls for Jihad against America]</ref>

===Abortion===
Biden has a far-Left position on [[abortion]], he said that he will support abortion in all circumstances including [[Late-term abortion|late term abortion]].<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/supporting-roe-means-supporting-abortion-until-birth/ Supporting Roe Means Supporting Abortion until Birth]</ref> He also said that he will stop any state from preventing abortion.<ref>[https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/joe-biden-i-support-abortion-under-any-circumstance Joe Biden: I support abortion ‘under any circumstance’]</ref>

===Gender confusion===
Biden will allow children in schools to "change" their gender without their parents' permission. He will also allow [[gender confusion|gender-confused]] boys to play sport with girls, and use their bathrooms and their locker rooms. This was a listed priority on the Biden-Harris campaign website. He will reinstate the Obama-Biden guidance revoked by the Trump-Pence Administration, which will restore gender-confused students’ access to sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms in accordance with their claimed gender identity. The Biden LGBTQ+ policy would allow also biological males who identify as "females" to be granted access to female locker rooms, bathrooms and sports teams without even undergoing confirmation surgery or using hormone replacements.<ref>[https://www.cnsnews.com/article/washington/lucy-collins/hawley-biden-plan-force-schools-let-transgenders-play-girls-sports Hawley: Biden Plan to Force Schools to Let Transgenders Play Girls' Sports, Use Their Locker Rooms, 'Startling Revelation of Where His Mind is At']</ref>

A Harris Poll commissioned by [[GLAAD]] prior to the 2020 election showed that U.S. adults are increasingly uncomfortable with [[LGBT]] issues — with Millennials ages 18 – 34 leading this shift. The number of non-LGBT adults ages 18 – 34 who are uncomfortable with learning a family member is LGBT rose from 24% at the end of the Obama era in 2016 to 36% in 2018. The number of Millennials uncomfortable with the idea of their children having a lesson on LGBT history at school rose from 27% to 39% during that same time. The number of Millennials that GLAAD counts as “allies” — people who are comfortable with the [[homosexual agenda]] and [[progressivism]] — dropped from 62% in 2016 to 45% in 2018.<ref>https://www.christianpost.com/news/millennials-gen-z-growing-uncomfortable-lgbt-movement-survey.html</ref> A fake news poll conducted by the [[Soros]]-funded, [[homosexual]]-centered "[[Human Rights Campaign]]" claims that 98% of [[heterosexual|straight]] [[male]]s refuse to date a gender-confused person allegedly because of "[[hate]]."<ref>https://ucf.forums.rivals.com/threads/are-you-in-the-98-of-hate.76324/</ref>

In January 2021, Biden nominated [[Richard Levine]]—a gender-confused male who claims to be a "female" named "Rachel"—as his Assistant Health Secretary.<ref>https://therightscoop.com/biden-taps-transgender-to-be-assistant-health-secretary-and-hes-very-controversial/</ref> Levine served under the administration of totalitarian governor [[Tom Wolf]] during the [[CCP pandemic]] and is directly responsible for thousands of deaths in nursing homes.<ref>Scolforo, Mark (June 26, 2020).

===Foreign policy===

====TPP====
Biden plans for return to [[Trans-Pacific Partnership]], despite it damages to the US economy.<ref>[https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/11/09/business/us-return-tpp-joe-biden/ Prospects dim for early U.S. return to TPP despite Biden win]</ref> He seeks to abolish most, if not all [[tariffs]] which were enacted by President Trump.<ref>[https://www.geopoliticalmonitor.com/prospects-for-trans-pacific-partnership-tpp-trade-deal-under-a-biden-presidency/ Prospects for the Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Deal under a Biden Presidency]</ref>

====China====
Biden has friendly relations with the Communist government of China.

Vice foreign minister He Yafei said: despite differences in political ideology, there could still be opportunities for long-term cooperation. “Multilateralism, I will say, is very much needed at this critical moment,” he said. “For China, the US and the EU, all of us should rethink who we are and what roles we can play in the future.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3109496/us-china-relations-trump-divisions-could-haunt-biden US-China relations: Trump divisions could haunt Biden presidency]</ref>

====North Korea====
Biden criticized President Trump for his meeting with North Korea president [[Kim Jong-un]], despite this meeting avoiding a massive and destructive nuclear war. Biden and Obama failed to shutdown the nuclear program of North Korea and let North Korea get Nuclear power. Now Biden pretends that his policy will force North Korea to shut down nuclear power, without clarifying what this policy.<ref>[https://www.pri.org/stories/2020-09-17/how-would-team-biden-handle-showdown-north-korea How would Team Biden handle a showdown with North Korea?]</ref> With the rise of the Biden junta and ousting of President Trump, North Korea announced its intention to build more nuclear weapons.<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/north-korea-s-kim-threatens-build-more-nukes-bring-u-n1253625</ref>

====Iran====
In contradiction to his policy with North Korea, Biden will allow Iran, one of the world's main state sponsors of [[Islamic terrorism]], to get nuclear power. Biden also criticized President Trump for a quick act to assassinate terrorist and war criminal [[Qasem Soleimani]].<ref>[https://www.usnews.com/news/elections/articles/2020-01-14/biden-trump-flat-out-lied-about-soleimani-dangers Biden: Trump 'Flat-Out Lied' About Soleimani Dangers ..]</ref> Biden plans to rejoin to [[Iranian nuclear deal]], canceled all sanctions on the Iranian regime and let them get money to support their terrorist militias.<ref>[https://www.timesofisrael.com/biden-will-seek-to-reenter-iran-nuclear-deal-within-months-aide-says/ Biden will seek to reenter Iran nuclear deal within months, former aide says]</ref> The Mullahs' regime in Iran, like China, was one of first countries which welcomed the media declaration of the Biden junta.<ref>[https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/america-votes/iran-s-president-calls-on-biden-to-return-to-nuclear-deal-1.5179848 Iran's president calls on Biden to return to nuclear deal]</ref>

====Syria====
On the day of its seizure of power, the junta ordered the invasion of [[Syria]].<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/large-us-convoy-rolled-syria-1st-day-biden-presidency</ref> On Day 36 the junta conducted unauthorized airstrikes killing 22 people.<ref>https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Releases/Release/Article/2516518/us-conducts-defensive-precision-strike/</ref> A [[Bernie Sanders|Sanders]] aide, Matt Duss who reportedly was in line to for a senior State Department tweeted, "Congress has not authorized war in Syria".<ref>https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/in-line-for-senior-job-at-state-sanders-aide-accuses-biden-of-illegal-military-action/</ref>

====Russia====
Biden portrays his policy as being more tough against Russia than [[President Trump]]'s has been,<ref>[https://thehill.com/policy/international/russia/522773-kremlin-biden-encouraging-hatred-of-russia Kremlin: Biden encouraging hatred of Russia]</ref> although this policy under the [[Obama regime]] was to let Russia expand into the Crimea and the [[Middle East]]. Under an [[Obama]] era policy, islamist groups like the [[Islamic State]] were allowed to expand in Syria but US ally [[Free Syrian Army]] was ordered not to engage Syrian or Russian troops. This allowed Russia to greatly expand influence in the region. It is likely that the [[Biden Junta]] will restore this policy.

====Cuba====
Biden planning to reestablish relations with Communist [[Cuba]]. He will also turn a blind eye on their human rights violations.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/u-s-cuba-relations-under-a-biden-administration U.S.-Cuba relations and a Biden administration]</ref>

==Controversy==
===Unity===
Biden portrays himself after the 2020 election theft as a "president" who will unite Republicans and Democrats. In contradiction to what he says, Biden has very little [[tolerance]] for people who oppose him. He called Trump supporters "Chumps",<ref>[https://nypost.com/2020/10/24/biden-rips-trump-supporters-as-chumps-at-pa-drive-in-rally/ Biden calls Trump supporters ‘chumps’ at Pennsylvania drive-in rally]</ref> "ugly folks",<ref>[https://www.westernjournal.com/biden-snaps-calls-minnesota-trump-supporters-ugly-folks/ Biden Snaps, Calls Minnesota Trump Supporters 'Ugly Folks'</ref> "racists",<ref>[https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/nov/17/biden-wants-end-to-demonization-but-wheres-his-apo/ Biden wants end to 'demonization,' but where's his apology for calling Trump and supporters racists?]</ref> "virulent people" and "dregs of society".<ref>[https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-calls-trump-supporters-dregs-society-joseph-curl Joe Biden Calls Trump Supporters ‘Virulent People,’ The ‘Dregs Of Society’]</ref> He also called a pro-Second Amendment and civilian worker in Detroit "full of sh*t" and threatened to fight him as a thug,<ref>[https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/elections-2020/biden-tells-detroit-auto-plant-worker-hes-full-of-sht-on-gun-control/ar-BB10ZJcS Biden Tells Detroit Auto Plant Worker He's 'Full of Sh*t' on Gun Control]</ref> and fat shamed a civilian voter when the voter pressed on Hunter Biden's business deals.<ref>[https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/15/flashback-joe-biden-fat-shamed-iowa-voter-when-pressed-on-hunters-business-deals/ FLASHBACK: Joe Biden Fat-Shamed Iowa Voter When Pressed On Hunter’s Business Deals]</ref> He also falsely called Republicans senators [[Ted Cruz]] and [[Josh Hawley]] "Nazis".<ref>[https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2021/01/08/biden-likens-ted-cruz-to-nazi-propagandist-goebbels-for-helping-trump-spread-big-lie-about-election-fraud/ Joe Biden likens Ted Cruz to Nazi propagandist Goebbels for helping Trump spread ‘big lie’ about election fraud]</ref> Biden also embraces many far-Left thoughts like the abortion issue, immigration policies and his refusal to denounce terrorist [[Antifa]] and [[Black Lives Matter]] acts, which makes it impossible for him to unite the division.

===Sexual misconduct against women===
:{{See also|Tara Reade}}
[[File:Tarareade2.png|right|300px|thumb|Biden and Tara Reade. Beginning in 1993 Reade made credible allegations about being assaulted and penetrated by Joe Biden and was hounded out of her job in his Senate office in retaliation for doing so.<ref>https://www.lifenews.com/2020/05/12/poll-bidens-support-among-women-drops-after-tara-reades-sexual-assault-allegations/</ref>]]
<center>{{cquote|I'm a tactile politician.|||Joe Biden, March 2019<ref>https://www.c-span.org/video/?458705-1/joe-biden-i-progressive-record-run</ref>}}</center>
Tara Reade is a former aide to Senator Joseph R. Biden.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmVUQ7ii3_4</ref> Reade filed sexual penetration and assault charges against Biden.<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-woman-who-accused-biden-of-sexual-assault-files-criminal-complaint-with-police/</ref> Biden, a supposed [[women's rights]] advocate and author of the [[Violence Against Women Act]] which the [[Supreme Court]] found unconstitutional, is the original founder of the 'Believe All Women' movement when in 1991 he hastily arranged the [[racial]]ly-motivated [[Anita Hill]] hearings to against [[Justice Clarence Thomas]]. [[Washington, D.C.]] [[police]] are actively investigating the allegations of [[rape]].<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/reade-sexual-assault-allegation-against-biden-remains-open-investigation-says-d-c-police</ref>

Reade has been trying to tell her story since it happened in 1993. It's a story about sexual assault, digital penetration which is [[rape]], retaliation, and silencing.

Then in January 2020 Reade tried to come forward again. This time she contacted Times Up Now, the sexual harassment organization. Ryan Grim at ''The Intercept'' reported the organization claimed they could not help her because Joe Biden was a candidate for federal office and supporting a case against him could jeopardize their nonprofit status.<ref>https://theintercept.com/2020/03/24/joe-biden-metoo-times-up/</ref> They also pointed out that the public relations firm that works on behalf of the Times Up Now Legal Defense Fund is SKD Knickerbocker, and SKDKnickerbocker managing director is former [[Obama]] [[White House]] Communication's director, the notorious [[Maoist]] and [[liberal]] apologist for [[mass murder]], [[Anita Dunn]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14tfnIkQ-qU</ref> Dunn is the top adviser to Joe Biden.<ref>https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/04/back-to-the-future-biden-hires-anita-dunn-former-obama-adviser-who-praised-mao/</ref>

In other words, Times Up Now, an alleged women's support group, and Anita Dunn will take political dirt on their enemies, and give a heads up to their allies. In the case of Tara Reade, Dunn used Reade to vault herself into Biden's inner orbit and a cushy job in the future Biden administration. It was no surprise when Biden appointed Dunn his chief advisor in January 2020 before the [[2020 New Hampshire Democratic primary]], since Dunn now had the goods on Biden. Given Biden's mental incapacity questions have surged as to who really is in charge. Anita Dunn, the woman who considers the greatest mass murderer the planet has ever known as her "favorite philosopher', appears to hold that trusted position.

Reade's allegations against Biden have been publicly corroborated by multiple people with whom she discussed the incident in the mid-1990s.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/former-neighbor-corroborates-joe-bidens-accuser-2020-4</ref> When Reade first came forward in April 2019 along with 7 other accusers, Sen.

Biden is known for [[Left-wing war on women|his sexual misconduct and bad behavior with multiple women and little girls]], like touching, kissing and hair smelling without their consent.<ref>[https://www.businessinsider.com/joe-biden-allegations-women-2020-campaign-2019-6?op=1 Here are all the times Joe Biden has been accused of acting inappropriately toward women and girls]</ref> Several videos show Biden's inappropriate behavior with women and especially little girls.

===The largest voter fraud organization ever===
[[File:2020 Turnout.jpeg|left|350px|thumb|Dozens of documented examples of election shenanigans.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/dozens-of-documented-examples-of-election-shenanigans/</ref>]]
:{{See also|Cloward-Piven strategy|Voter fraud|Ballot harvesting|2020 Voter fraud timeline}}
The probability of mail-in voter fraud creating chaos after Election Day, November 3, 2020, is very real. Some states may force residents to use mail-in ballots during the current health emergency. Voting by mail makes it easier to commit [[fraud]], intimidate voters, and destroy the protections of the secret ballot. Without the oversight of election and polling officials, mail-in ballots are the ballots most vulnerable to being altered, stolen, or forged. Fraud by duplicate voting can occur, once by absentee or mail-in ballot, and then again in person. Employees of private companies hired to contact and register voters have been known to change party affiliations of voters and forge signatures on voter registration forms, among other things.

When Democrats want to tilt elections in their favor outside the ballot box, [[Marc Elias]] of [[Perkins Coie]] is the go-to guy. Perkins Coie is the Democratic law firm, paid by [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign|the Hillary Clinton campaign]], that hired [[Fusion GPS]] to dig up dirt on Donald Trump in 2016. They failed, but still compiled the ''[[Steele dossier]]'' full of foreign-solicited lies about Trump and Russia, which was leaked by Obama intelligence officials to try to sabotage the new president’s administration, sow doubt in his election victory, and invalidate the votes of 63 million Americans. From [[Wisconsin]] to [[Nevada]], to [[California]], Marc Elias and the Democrats pushed lawsuits disguised as “election reform” to water down important election safeguards and increase the opportunity for fraud, abuse, and corruption. In August 2020 ''[[Politico]]'' reported,
{{quotebox|[[File:Early morning ballot dumps Nov. 4, 2020.png|right|350px|thumb|Four highly anomalous ballot dumps highlighted in yellow account for the "win" in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia and represent forty-two electoral votes.<ref>https://votepatternanalysis.substack.com/p/voting-anomalies-2020</ref>]][[Coronavirus]] has turned the Democratic Party’s voter contact program, one operative said, into something more like a tech support operation than a traditional door-knocking effort.....[[Priorities USA]], the Democratic super PAC, is spending $24 million on voter mobilization, which includes vote-by-mail education. Fair Fight, a group founded by [[Stacey Abrams]], has rolled out voter protection programs in 17 states....

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s recent attacks on the USPS and on mail-voting is raising concern among voters, operatives say.

“We've seen such an increase from young people in terms of concern about their ballot casting,” said Jared DeLoof, the states director of [[NextGen America]], which targets younger voters. “They want to vote, they want to make sure that that vote is going to count.” [...]

Democrats believe they will also have to follow up with some voters after their ballot has been cast, in an effort to help them fix ballots that have been rejected for technical reasons. State rules vary widely on if or how voters can correct their ballots, and the time windows to do so can be short.

While Democrat campaigns and groups navigate the patchwork of state rules governing mail ballots to encourage turnout, Democrat election attorney Marc Elias is trying to change many of those rules.

This is the other half of the party’s vote-by-mail efforts: a sprawling legal effort that spans every battleground state and is costing tens of millions of dollars. Priorities USA, just one of Elias’ clients, has expanded its voting litigation budget to $32 million.
[[File:2020-11-04.jpg|left|300px|thumb|]]
“One of the features of vote by mail is that between the point that the voter cast the ballot and the point that the ballot is counted, several things have to go right,” Elias said in an interview. “One is that the ballot has to be received by the election officials in time. ... And the second is that the ballot needs to be verified and accepted.”

Elias, who was the lead attorney in former Sen. [[Al Franken]]’s (D-Minn.) 2008 recount victory and the general counsel for [[Hillary Clinton]] and [[John Kerry]]’s presidential campaigns, is pursuing what he calls “four pillars” of legal changes to election laws during coronavirus. The first, that mail ballots should include paid postage with them, has some cross-partisan support.

The other three do not, locking Elias in a wide-range legal fight with Republicans all over the country, including the Republican National Committee and its legal budget of at least $20 million. Those fights are over Elias’ push to mandate that states count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after the fact; overhauling signature matching laws, which Elias derides as based on pseudoscience; and allowing for third parties to collect and turn in voters’ sealed absentee ballots, which Democrats call “community collection” and Republicans largely deride as “[[ballot harvesting]].”

“One thing you do is you make sure that people whose ballot is being challenged based on signature matching, that the people that are doing that have been trained, are applying uniform non-discriminatory standards. And most importantly, the voter is notified and has an opportunity to cure,” Elias said of his legal strategy. (A cure process mandates that a state contacts voters whose ballots have been rejected to give them the ability to fix — or cure — their ballot.)

Several Democrat-backed lawsuits have also pushed to expand who can cast absentee ballots. In 44 states, any voter can, at a minimum, request an absentee ballot if they choose to do so, and some states have changed that requirement as a response to the pandemic. [...]

Republicans argue that allowing for outside parties to collect and deliver ballots could lead to coercion or fraud. [...]

Depending on how close the races for the White House and battleground Senate seats are, "we could be headed for a ''[[Bush v. Gore]]'' situation in every battleground state, depending how close the results are."<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/21/democrats-vote-by-mail-plan-399671</ref>}}
The RNC and the Trump campaign pushed back against the Democrats’ assault on the integrity of elections. All across the country, Democrats tried to use coronavirus and the courts to legalize ballot harvesting, implement a nationwide mail-in ballot system, and eliminate nearly every safeguard in our elections.

One in five mail in ballots have been rejected in several 2020 elections. Nearly two-thirds (62%) say there is fraud in U.S. elections, and that fraud would concern them under Democrats’ nationwide mail-in ballot system. Americans overwhelmingly approve of the safeguards Democrats are suing to eliminate like signature matching (84%), voter identification (80%), and a ballot receipt deadline of election day (83%). Voters also oppose (67%) allowing campaign workers to collect mail-in ballots, also known as ballot harvesting.<ref>https://www.protectthevote.com/</ref>

{{quotebox-float|“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.”}}
Former Vice President Biden has repeatedly [[lied]] about having any knowledge of his son Hunter's dealings with Burisma. Hunter Biden earned in excess of $3 million while serving on Burisma's board of directors during the [[Obama administration]]. The former vice president bragged to the [[Council on Foreign Relations]] that he threatened the President of Ukraine with withholding $1.8 Billion in foreign aid and loan guarantees, which the former vice president was in charge of, unless a [[prosecutor]] investigating Burisma [[kickback]]s to the Biden family was fired.

Facebook and Twitter are no longer service carriers of electronic information, but rather now acting as publishers and broadcasters of news. Hence, their immunity from broadcasting [[libel]]ous information on their platforms - such as accusations of President Trump being a "Russian spy" for example - should be revoked. ''Yahoo News!'' reported:
{{quotebox|Instead of simply asking pertinent questions, or debunking the [New York] Post’s reporting, a media blackout was initiated. A number of well-known journalists warned colleagues and their sizable social-media audiences not to share the story. By the afternoon, Twitter had joined Facebook in suppressing the article, not only barring its users from sharing it with followers, but barring them sharing it through direct messages as well. It locked the accounts of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, the Post, and many others for retweeting the story.

Twitter initially cited its “Hacked Materials Policy” and a “lack of authoritative reporting” as justification for censoring the Post, one of the most widely read papers in the nation. Though the reliability of the story is yet to be determined, Twitter has offered no evidence that any of the information was illegally obtained. No similar standard was applied when the New York Times published Trump’s tax returns, even though anyone who had legal access to them is likely to have broken the law in sharing them with the Times. Whatever the case, it’s all in the public record now.

A healthy democracy with a properly functioning and independent press would debate, investigate, and rigorously fact check new information. They wouldn’t work to squelch a story. It’s certainly not the job of giant tech companies who claim to function as neutral platforms to decide what news consumers can or can’t handle.

The most generous reading of Twitter and Facebook’s actions is that the rules are evolving, messy, and inadvertently unfair. A less generous — but more plausible — reading is that the tech giants single out specific stories damaging to progressives’ preferred presidential candidate.
It will backfire.

For one thing, it further damages the reputation of Big Tech. For another, it renders the industry more susceptible to a new regulatory regime already being championed by some in Congress. Mostly, however, it just makes the story they’re trying to suppress a far bigger deal.<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/twitter-facebook-shameful-repression-york-010644456.html</ref>}}
[[Glenn Greenwald]] writing in ''The Intercept'' remarked,
{{quotebox-float|"It has been astonishing to watch Democrats over the last twenty-four hours justify this censorship on the grounds that private [[corporation]]s are entitled to do whatever they want."}}

===Recovery Summer===

Biden was placed in charge of promoting the [[Obama regime]]'s alleged [[Recovery Summer]] which never materialized.<ref>[https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/administration-kicks-recovery-summer-with-groundbreakings-and-events-across-country Administration Kicks Off "Recovery Summer" with Groundbreakings and Events Across the Country], The [[White House]], Office of the Press Secretary, Press Release, June 17, 2010. Retrieved from www.whitehouse.gov October 9, 2010.</ref> It was a failed attempt to highlight the Democrat Congress's [[American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009]], or "[[economic stimulus]] program. During the so-called 'Recovery Summer', the workforce shrank, [[unemployment]] swelled, and [[economic growth]] slowed to less than 2%. More Americans fell victim to Democrat economic policy and by the [[2010 Midterm election]] sweep no less than 27,000,000 people were unemployed or underemployed.

During 'Recovery Summer' 393,000 jobs were destroyed according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,<ref>https://data.bls.gov/PDQ/servlet/SurveyOutputServlet?request_action=wh&graph_name=CE_cesbref1</ref> unemployment rose,<ref>http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?chart_type=bar&s[1][id]=UNRATE</ref> and [[economic growth]] slowed from 5.7% to 1.6%.<ref>http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?chart_type=bar&s[1][id]=GDPC1</ref> The number counted by the [[Department of Labor]] as unemployed at the start of Recovery Summer was 14,599,000 Americans in July 2010; by September there were 14,767,000 Americans looking for work. 168,000 more unemployed than before President Obama and Vice President Biden announced Recovery Summer had begun.<ref>https://townhall.com/columnists/RichGalen/2010/10/29/relapse_summer</ref>

Five months into the Obama regime in June 2009 [[Hunter Biden]] and Chris Heinz, son of Joe Biden and stepson of Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair [[John Kerry]] formed Rosemount Seneca. The firm partnered with the Thornton Group run by James Bulger, and the Bank of China, to form [[Bohai Harvest RST]] (BHR) in China. [[Devon Archer]] is a longtime friend of former Secretary of State [[John Kerry]] and of stepson Chris Heinz and James Bulger, the nephew of notorious Boston gangster [[Whitey Bulger]].<ref>Whitey Bulger was the head of the [[Boston]] Irish [[mafia]] who enjoyed federal protection under FBI director [[Robert Mueller]] as an informant. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2335614/Trial-Boston-mob-boss-James-Whitey-Bulger-gets-underway-family-victims-say-look-eye.html Bulger was convicted of 19 murders that occurred while under Mueller's protection; some have linked the Bulger clan to as many as 52 murders while Mueller was U.S. Attorney in Boston. https://www3.bostonglobe.com/metro/1970/01/19/one-lingering-question-for-fbi-director-robert-mueller/613uW0MR7czurRn7M4BG2J/story.html?arc404=true Whitey Bulger was murdered in prison at the age of 89 a few months before the Mueller Report was released.</ref>

The Bank of China is owned by the Chinese government and closely connected with the Chinese military and intelligence services. Biden, Heinz, and Archer transferred and sold "duel use" technology to the Chinese military which was used to create the Chinese [[drone]] program and replicate the Chinese version of the [[F-15]] fighter.<ref>https://nypost.com/2018/03/15/inside-the-shady-private-equity-firm-run-by-kerry-and-bidens-kids/</ref>

Bohai Harvest RST (BHR) invested in an app the Chinese leftwing Communist regime is using to surveil ethnic minority [[Muslim]]s in western China. Over one million Muslims living in the region are now incarcerated in Chinese [[gulag]]s.

====Biden-Ukraine scandal====

:{{See also|Biden-Ukraine scandal}}
Vice President [[Joe Biden]] oversaw the disbursement of $1 billion allocated by the U.S. to the new government of Ukraine. In 2014, Biden's son [[Hunter Biden]], was appointed to the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, the largest oil and gas company in Ukraine. Hunter Biden was hired by [[Mykola Zlochevsky]], who served as Ukraine's ecology minister in the previous administration. Hunter Biden was paid $166,000 per month. The money was split with the nephew of [[Whitey Bulger]].

Zlochevsky came under investigation by the new administration for alleged embezzlement of $5 billion while ecology minister. The prosecutor traced payments made to Hunter Biden. Vice President Biden threatened the new Ukrainian administration to withhold $1 billion in U.S. allocated funds unless the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden was fired.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/09/world/europe/corruption-ukraine-joe-biden-son-hunter-biden-ties.html</ref>

Biden bragged about having caused the firing of the [[Ukraine]] prosecutor to a [[CFR]] conference.
[[File:Joe Biden at CFR meeting 2018 2.jpeg|left|300px|thumb|Biden at the [[Council on Foreign Relations]]: "‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money'...Well, [SOB], he got fired."<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20210218183940/https://haciendapublishing.com/articles/deep-dark-secrets-rich-famous-and-powerful-cliff-kincaid</ref>]]
U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Joe Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine. Biden threatened Ukrainian President [[Petro Poroshenko]] that the [[Obama administration]] would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending Ukraine toward insolvency, if it didn't immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin who was investigating his son, Hunter. Biden recounted,
{{quotebox-float|"'You’re not getting the billion'. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money'...Well, [SOB], he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."<ref name="thehill.com">https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/436816-joe-bidens-2020-ukrainian-nightmare-a-closed-probe-is-revived</ref><ref>https://www.cfr.org/event/foreign-affairs-issue-launch-former-vice-president-joe-biden</ref>}}
Yuriy Lutsenko, who replaced Shokin as the prosecutor looking into Burisma, said the evidence in the Burisma case he'd like to present to [[William Barr]], particularly the vice president's intervention.

Between April 2014 and October 2015, more than $3 million was paid out by Burisma to an account linked to Biden's and [[Devon Archer]]'s Rosemont Seneca firm, according to the financial records placed in a federal court file in Manhattan in another case against Archer. The bank records show that, on most months when Burisma money flowed, two wire transfers of $83,333.33 each were sent to the Rosemont Seneca–connected account on the same day. The same Rosemont Seneca–linked account typically then paid Hunter Biden one or more payments ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each. Ukrainian prosecutors reviewed internal company documents and wanted to interview Hunter Biden and Archer about why they had received such payments, but couldn't because of Joe Biden's intervention.

In a text message from Hunter Biden to his sister Naomi, Hunter said their father, "Pop", takes 50% of his salary.<ref>https://www.redstate.com/scotthounsell/2020/10/15/october-surprise-giuliani-reveals-texts-from-hunter-saying-biden-got-half-of-his-contracts/</ref><ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/rudy-giuliani-releases-text-message-hunter-biden-daughter-naomi-unlike-pop-joe-biden-wont-make-give-half-salary-video/</ref>

On September 4, 2019, former Prosecutor General [[Victor Shokin]] made a sworn affidavit outlining Joe Biden's shakedown.<ref>https://www.scribd.com/document/427618359/Shokin-Statement</ref>

====Eric Ciaramella====
[[File:Ciaramella.png|left|150px|thumb|Deep State informant Eric Ciaramella, an alleged second-hand hearsay "whistleblower."]]
[[Deep State]] informant [[Eric Ciaramella]] was assigned to the Obama [[White House]] by [[Russia collusion hoax]] mastermind [[John Brennan]]..He was detailed to the staff of [[National Security Council]] [[Susan Rice]] and Vice President [[Joe Biden]].<ref>http://www.ukrweekly.com/uwwp/wp-content/uploads/current-pdf/The_Ukrainian_Weekly_2015-47.pdf</ref> Ciaramella worked on Ukrainian issues for Biden in 2015 and 2016 during the time Biden was the "point man" handing out U.S. taxpayer cash to Ukraine.

Ciaramella worked with [[Democratic National Committee]] operative [[Alexandra Chalupa]] to dig up dirt on the [[2016 Trump campaign|Trump campaign]] during the [[2016 presidential election]]. Ciarmella invited Chalupa into the [[Obama]] White House for meetings.<ref>https://archive.usukraine.org/coalition/report-wh-press-conf-events.shtml</ref> Chalupa a key figure behind manufacturing the [[Russia collusion hoax]] and in the [[Ukrainian collusion scandal]] with the [[Atlantic Council]] and [[Crowdstrike]]. Ciaramella set the Trump [[impeachment inquiry]] in motion.

In May 2017, Ciaramella was instrumental in helping generate the “Putin fired Comey” narrative. A Ciaramella email the day after Comey's firing ended up in the media, which is reported to have allegedly called Comey “crazy, a real nut job.” Ciaramella is said to have argued that “[[President Putin]] suggested that President Trump fire Comey.” In the days after Comey's firing, this presidential action was used to further political and media calls for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate supposed ‘Russia collusion.’ Ciaramella was dismissed from the Trump White House in June 2917 and accused of illegal [[leak]]s and working against the interests of the [[United States]] government. Ciaramella returned to the CIA.

In August 2019 The Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), [[Michael Atkinson]], referred to Ciaramella as one who has
:“some indicia of an arguable political bias … in favor of a rival political candidate"
The ICIG was severely criticized for changing the rules at the last minute and allowing a third-party "[[whistleblower]]" [[hearsay]] complaint.

====Senate investigation====
[[File:Devon Archer (far left) is pictured with Joe and Hunter Biden. (Screenshot from Twitter).jpeg|right|300px|thumb|Devon Archer (far left) is pictured with Joe and Hunter Biden. (Screenshot from Twitter)<ref>https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/oct/03/who-devon-archer-ukrainian-gas-executive-playing-g/</ref>]]
Senate investigators concluded,
{{quotebox|The records acquired by the Committees show that Hunter Biden and his family were involved in a vast financial network that connected them to foreign nationals and foreign governments across the globe. Hunter Biden and Archer, in particular, formed significant and consistent financial relationships with the corrupt oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky during their time working for Burisma and their firms made millions of dollars from that association while Joe Biden was vice president and the public face of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy. Rosemont Seneca Thornton, an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, received $3.5 million in a wire transfer from Elena Baturina, who allegedly received illegal construction contracts from her husband, the former mayor of Moscow. Moreover, Archer’s apparent receipt of money for a car from Kenges Rakishev of [[Kazakhstan]] while Vice President Biden was in Kyiv is especially concerning in light of the timing. And finally, Biden and Archer’s work with Chinese nationals connected to the Communist regime illustrate the deep financial connections that accelerated while his father was vice president and continued after he left office.

Biden and Archer found willing partners in Chinese nationals connected to the Communist regime. Their work in China began at least in 2009, with the creation of Rosemont Seneca Partners with Heinz, Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson. Then, several years later, Biden and Archer formed [[BHR]] with Bohai Capital and received their business license approval in China shortly after Biden visited China with his father, Vice President Biden.

Hunter Biden’s connections and financial associations appear to have accelerated significantly after he associated himself with Ye Jianming, who had deep connections with the Communist regime and [[PLA]]. However, that didn’t seem to have any impact on Hunter Biden, who made millions from the relationship. Indeed, Hunter Biden and his family, to include James and Sara Biden, associated with other Chinese nationals such as Gongwen Dong. In one case, the three of them went on a $100,000 global spending spree after Gongwen Dong and Hunter Biden opened a joint account. In addition, Hunter Biden received millions of dollars over a period of years from Gongwen Dong’s companies. According to records acquired by the Committees, many of these transactions involved potential criminal financial activity.<ref>[https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/HSGAC_Finance_Report_FINAL.pdf Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact on U.S.Government Policy and Related Concerns], U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, September 23, 2020, p. 84.</ref>}}
The $3.5 million from the wife of the [[Moscow]] mayor was payment for $200 million [[money laundering]] scheme to circumvent the [[Magnitsky Act]].<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/maybe-just-like-gettin-ass-whooped-black-trump-supporter-posts-epic-takedown-black-biden-supporters/</ref> No record of Hunter Biden filing as a lobbyist or agent of a foreign power under the [[FARA]] Act exists.<ref>https://uncoverdc.com/2020/09/26/when-did-hunter-biden-and-associates-file-as-foreign-agents-under-the-fara-act/</ref>

:{{See also|Hillary Clinton email scandal|Trump-Russia collusion hoax}}
On June 15, 2016 the first Guccifer 2.0 document was created by [[Warren Flood]] at 13:38 EDT, modified by [[Феликс Эдмундович]] (Felix Edmunovich, the Russian patronymic of Felix Edmunovich Dzerzhinsky, founder of the [[KGB]] - a blatantly amateurish attempt to create Russian fingerprints) thirty minutes later at 14:08 EDT. Warren Flood was Joe Biden's former IT director at the White House. A document that Flood authored in 2008, and that was attached to one of [[John Podesta]]'s emails, was used by Guccifer 2.0 as a template into which he then copied the contents of the Trump Opposition Research, copied from this file: https://www.wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/fileid/26562/7365 (which is also attached to [https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/26562 this leaked email]). It is Flood's document that the "CONFIDENTIAL" text in the background derives from.

A document that Warren Flood authored in 2008, and was attached to one of [[John Podesta]]'s leaked emails, was used by Guccifer 2.0 as a template into which he then copied the contents of the DNC's ''Trump Opposition Research'' document. It was copied from this file: https://www.wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/fileid/26562/7365 which is also attached to [https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/26562 this leaked email]. It is Flood's document that the "CONFIDENTIAL" text in the background derives from.

Guccifer 2.0 was a [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign]] [[false flag]] operation set up to discredit the [[DNC]] revelations at [[Wikileaks]]. Adam Carter writes, {{quotebox|"one particular group would have been particularly desperate precisely at that time, for the emergence of a narrative about Russian hackers to discredit proper leaks / justify claims that all leaks are 'probably doctored' and they will have very likely known [Warren] Flood too. That group is the Clinton Campaign. As of June 12th, [2016] they were in a position where [[Julian Assange]] had just announced WikiLeaks' upcoming release of [[Hillary Clinton email scandal|Hillary's emails]], she was still under [[FBI]] investigation, and [[Trump]] was attacking Hillary for her use of a private server with his supporters frequently chanting "lock her up!" at rallies. The campaign was in a desperate position and really needed something similar to a Russian hacker narrative and one where they would be fortunate to have a seemingly clumsy hacker that leaves lots of 'fingerprints' tainting files and bringing the reputation of leaks into question... Sure enough, 2-3 days later, Guccifer2.0 - the world's weirdest hacker - was spawned and started telling lies in an effort to attribute himself to the malware discoveries, etc."<ref>http://g-2.spac/#7</ref>}}

'''Melania Trump''' (née '''Melanija Knavs'''; b. April 26, 1970) is [[First Lady]] of the [[United States]] as the wife of [[Donald Trump]]. Unlike prior First Ladies who have moved to [[D.C.]], Mrs. Trump puts raising her child first and has remained at her residence in [[New York City]] so that her son Barron Trump can finish his school year without changing schools midyear to one in Washington, D.C.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/20/melania-barron-trump-to-remain-in-nyc-until-end-school-year.html|title=Melania, Barron Trump to remain in NYC until end of school year|date=November 20, 2016|work=Fox News|accessdate=February 15, 2017}}</ref> On International Women's Day in March 2017, Melania Trump rejected [[feminist]] ideology by wearing black rather than the solidarity red, and by giving a speech that criticized the mindless equality of [[communism]] and instead emphasizing equal ''opportunity''.

First Lady Melania Trump made history by reciting [[The Lord's Prayer]] in front of a massive rally for her and President Trump in Melbourne, Florida, on February 18, 2017.

Born in Slovenia, then part of Yugoslavia, Trump became a permanent resident of the United States in 2001 and a citizen in 2006. She is the second foreign-born First Lady of the United States, following [[Louisa Adams]] in 1825. Trump attended college for one year in Slovenia and has worked as a fashion model.

Melania Trump met her future husband, Donald Trump at a Fashion Week party in New York City in September 1998. After becoming engaged in 2004, Donald and Melania were married in an Anglican service on January 22, 2005, at The Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida.

Melania Trump is a practicing Roman Catholic and is the first Roman Catholic to live in the White House since [[John F. Kennedy]].<ref>Williams, Thomas D. (May 25, 2017).

The junta began receiving [[federal]] [[taxpayer]] money on November 24 after the head of the [[General Services Administration]] received death threats against her, her family, staff, and pets.<ref>https://100percentfedup.com/dems-threaten-gov-official-her-family-and-her-pets-over-refusal-to-release-transition-funds-prematurelytrump-responds/</ref><ref>https://theblacksphere.net/2020/11/transition-funds-trap-biden/</ref>

The [[junta]]'s first actions were borrowed right out of the [[Nazi]] playbook;<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/01/nonvoters-registered-democrats-among-those-arrested-at-capitol-protest/</ref> like the [[Reichstag fire]], a [[false flag]] attack on the [[2021 Capitol riot|U.S. Capitol building was staged]]<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/political/rush-judgment-trump-multiple-leftists-arrested-capitol-riot</ref> as a pretext to curb [[human rights]] and [[free speech]].<ref>https://www.thebigsmoke.com.au/2021/01/10/joe-biden-authored-the-patriot-act-now-hes-promised-new-domestic-terror-laws/</ref>

[[Junta leader]] [[Joseph R. Biden]] appointed [[Maoist]] [[Anita Dunn]] as [[Senior Presidential Advisor|Presidential Advisor]].<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/forced-from-obama-admin-for-praising-mao-anita-dunn-to-return-to-white-house/</ref> Dunn had been fired by the [[Obama]] [[White House]] in June 2009 after publicly expressing admiration for Maoist [[genocide]].<ref>https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/04/back-to-the-future-biden-hires-anita-dunn-former-obama-adviser-who-praised-mao/</ref><ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/re-anita-dunn-and-mao-zedong-andrew-c-mccarthy/</ref> Dunn was behind the cover-up of former Biden aide [[Tara Reade]]'s [[rape]] and [[sexual assault]] allegations.<ref>https://theintercept.com/2020/03/24/joe-biden-metoo-times-up/</ref> The appointment appeared to be a payoff.

Due to the junta leader's debilitated mental state,<ref>https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6233603126001</ref> four weeks into the junta members sought to relieve the junta leader of sole responsibility to launch a nuclear strike.<ref>https://thepoliticalinsider.com/house-democrats-want-biden-to-relinquish-sole-authority-to-launch-nuclear-weapons/</ref>

[[Pulitzer Prize]] winning reporter Glenn Greewald foretold the agenda of the Biden junta:{{clear}}
{{quotebox|"Democrats are very good at creating a brand that is radically different than the reality, but essentially the [[Democratic party]] serves [[militarism]], [[imperialism]], and [[corporatism]]…That’s who funds them, that’s what they believe in…It’s why you see [[neocon]]s migrating so comfortably back to the Democratic Party, why you see [[George W. Bush|Bush]] and [[Cheney]] operatives cheering for Joe Biden, why [[Wall Street]] celebrated when he picked [[Kamala Harris]]....the American [[middle class]] will continue to be destroyed while companies that have no allegiance to the US will continue to outsource jobs....Communities will continue to be ravaged with [[unemployment]] crises, [[drug addiction]], [[suicide]], [[depression]], all the things that are dominating small American towns”.<ref>https://www.rt.com/usa/512749-greenwald-biden-elections-prediction/</ref>}}

After ascending power on 1/20/2021, the Junta De Facto began rule by ''[[diktat]]'', issuing executive orders that unconstitutionally enter the United States into international agreements without congressional approval and overturning travel bans in a pandemic for the sake of a swift political victory. The Junta plans on issuing 50 decrees in the first 10 days in power.

==Chinese collusion==
:{{See also|Biden-China collusion}}
On November 28, 2020 Prof. Di Dongsheng, vice dean of the School of International Relations at Renmin University, told students in [[Beijing]] how the [[People's Republic of China]] was able to settle disputes with prior American administrations because they have people at the top of America, specifically on [[Wall Street]].<ref>https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/stacey-lennox/2020/12/08/tucker-carlsons-monologue-on-a-chinese-professors-recent-speech-should-terrify-you-n1197202</ref> But when [[President Trump]] was elected, all that Chinese influence went away. "Wall Street can't fix Trump," the professor told the students.<ref>https://youtu.be/yB07iLF2ZWw</ref>

The professor noted that President Trump complained about [[Hunter Biden]] having a ‘global foundation’ and confirmed once again that the [[Biden family]] was in bed with [[Chinese Communist]]s.<ref>https://therightscoop.com/watch-tucker-exposes-scrubbed-video-of-chinese-professor-saying-they-have-people-at-top-of-america/</ref> Hunter Biden in fact holds a 10% equity stake in the Chinese private equity firm [[Bohai Harvest RST]] (BHR) in partnership with the Bank of China through his company, Skaneateles LLC, according to business records from China’s National Credit Information Publicity System.<ref>https://freedomjournalist.com/hunter-biden-still-owns-part-of-chinese-business-operation/</ref> BHR was set up as a tool for the CCPs global ambitions, using the Biden name to market Chinese [[imperialism]].<ref>https://creativedestructionmedia.com/investigations/2020/10/31/joe-co-didnt-just-sell-out-america-they-sold-out-the-whole-free-world/</ref>
The Bank of China is owned by the Chinese government and closely connected with the Chinese military and intelligence services. Biden, former Secretary of State [[John Kerry]]'s stepson Christopher Heinz, and convicted [[felon]] [[Devon Archer]] through BHR transferred and sold duel use technology to the Chinese military which was used to create the Chinese [[drone]] program and replicate the Chinese version of the [[F-15]] fighter.<ref>https://nypost.com/2018/03/15/inside-the-shady-private-equity-firm-run-by-kerry-and-bidens-kids/</ref>

But because of the lack of influence the Chinese Communists had over the [[Trump administration]], the professor stated that they have people at the “top of America’s core inner circle of power and influence” who went to work to get Biden "elected".<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/12/08/professor-claims-china-has-people-in-americas-core-inner-circle/</ref>

The [[American Center for Law and Justice]] (ACLJ) sued the Biden junta to obtain information about House Democrat Intelligence Committee member [[Eric Swalwell]]'s relationship with a Chinese spy. Lawsuits were filed against the [[National Security Agency]], the office of the director of national intelligence ([[DNI|ODNI]]), the [[State Department]] and the [[FBI]].<ref>https://www.wnd.com/2021/02/biden-admin-gets-sued-details-swalwells-china-connection/</ref>

==Electoral certification==

:{{See also|2020 Presidential election|Biden Putsch}}
On an evening just prior to the Electoral College certification of the 2020 stolen presidential election, [[Antifa]] thugs terrorized the home of [[Sen. Josh Hawley]], where Sen. Hawley's wife and newborn infant daughter were home alone.<ref>https://thepoliticalinsider.com/josh-hawley-slams-antifa-scumbags-who-attacked-his-home-with-wife-and-newborn-inside/</ref> Sen. Hawley had pledged to contest the results of the stolen election.

During the January 6, 2021 Joint Session of Congress to certify the Electoral College ballots, while tens of thousands of peaceful protesters rallied in support of President Trump outside the capitol, chartered vans of the terrorist/hate group Antifa were escorted by state police in black, unmarked SUVs into the midst of the crowd.<ref>https://twitter.com/RockNPolitics/status/1346897013607174148</ref><ref>https://archive.is/IiHln</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/L0xyqVMUh_E</ref> [[Capitol Police]] then removed barriers and waved the crowd in to the Capitol steps.<ref>https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2021-01-07/capitol-police-chief-to-resign-next-week-reports</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/cevansavenger/status/1346920924310867968</ref> Antifa rioters proceeded to break windows on the [[U.S. Capitol]] building and storm the premises.<ref>https://twitter.com/emmbeliever/status/1347032914182217728</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/TheRightMelissa/status/1347040212602466304</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1346908554804953088</ref> Facial recognition [[technology]] identified Antifa members,<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jan/6/xrvision-firm-claims-antifa-infiltrated-protesters/</ref> who had used disguises to infiltrate a pro-Trump protest group, as storming the building.<ref>https://gellerreport.com/2021/01/photos-reports-show-antifa-infiltrators-stormed-the-capitol-building.html/</ref> Twitter, in a flimsy attempt to cover for the Antifa punks, falsely claimed that a side-by-side photo comparison of one of the infiltrators (showing him at the Capitol in one photo, and at a BLM rally in June 2019 in the other photo, both of which show him with the same visually distinct tattoos) was "manipulated media" but gave no reason for their false claim.<ref>[https://twitter.com/KelemenCari/status/1346929418455842816 Cari Kelemen: "AZ BLM rally in June, DC Capital in January] at Twitter</ref>

The proceedings inside the House and Senate chambers were halted, and [[Ashli Babbitt]], a Trump supporter who followed the crowd into the Capitol building without realizing who they really were, was summarily executed by Capitol Police.<ref>https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1347076676342185984</ref>

Following the violence, several Senators withdrew their support of objections to fraudulent electors. One protester posted in [[social media]] a statement that he had been paid to disrupt the Trump rally and Congressional proceedings.<ref>https://twitter.com/ariellanewland/status/1347133853169803265</ref>

At the close of the day's events and Joint Session, the House Chaplain offered a prayer to "bless Antifa".<ref>https://youtu.be/wYfizn8T9Qk?t=23031</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/Yg_wtp6XhPA</ref>

==Organization==
As of Novemeber 2020 [[Peter Neffenger]] was chairman of the [[corrupt]] [[voter fraud|ballot-stuffing]] and [[election fraud|election-rigging]] [[SmartMatic]] corporation.<ref>https://www.smartmatic.com/us/about/board-of-directors/detail/peter-neffenger/</ref> Neffenger was appointed to Biden's [[junta]] organizational team.<ref>https://www.air.tv/watch?v=ir00pXx9QsKbvSdjsCy3nQ</ref>

Dr. Navid Keshavarz-Nia, with 35 years experience performing technical assessment, mathematical modeling, cyber-attack pattern analysis, and
security [[counterintelligence]] linked to foreign intelligence service operators, including [[China]], [[Iran]], [[North Korea]], and [[Russia]] and who has worked as a consultant and subject-matter expert supporting the [[Department of Defense]], [[FBI]] and US [[Intelligence Community]] (USIC) agencies such as the [[DIA]], [[CIA]], [[NSA]], NGA [National Geospatial Agency], and the [[DHS]] I&A [Office of Intelligence and Analysis] supporting counterintelligence, and [[law enforcement]] investigations and whom the ''[[New York Times]]'' describes as the "always the smartest person in the room,<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/09/opinion/sunday/garrison-courtney-spies-contracts.html</ref> testified under oath Smartmatic and its role in the [[2020 Presidential election]] thusly:
{{quotebox-float|"In my expert opinion, the DVS [ [[Dominion Voting Systems]] ] Democracy Suite, [[Scytl]]/SOE Software/eClarity and Smartmatic have not produced auditable results in the 2020 election. It is evident that ballots were not properly validated, system records were not kept, and the system experience considerable instability even several days prior to November 4, 2020 that require DVS to implement software changes at the last minute. In addition, the disparity in data distribution after 4:30 AM on November 4, 2020 indicates significant systemic anomalies that were widespread among all battleground states. The evidence is both extensive and persuasive and indicates large-scale [[fraud]] by remote operators.

"I conclude that a combination of lost cryptographic key contained on stolen USB memory cards, serious exploitable system and [[software]] vulnerabilities and operating system backdoor in DVS, Scytl, SOE Software/eClarity and Smartmatic created the perfect environment to commit widespread fraud in all states where these systems are installed. My analysis of the 2020 Election from ''NY Times'' data shows statistical anomalies across the battleground state votes. These failures are widespread and systemic - and sufficient to invalidate the [[vote]] counts.

"I conclude with high confidence that the election 2020 data were altered in all [[swing states|battleground states]] resulting in a hundreds of thousands of votes that were cast for [[President Trump]] to be transferred to [[Vice President Biden]]. These alterations were the result of systemic and widespread exploitable vulnerabilities in DVS, Scytl/SOE Software and Smartmatic systems that enabled operators to achieve
the desired results. In my view, the evidence is overwhelming and incontrovertible."<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mied.350905/gov.uscourts.mied.350905.1.19.pdf</ref>}}

The junta took power under the watchful eye of [[National Guard]]smen while the American people were excluded. The next day in the dead of winter, Democrats kicked the Guardsmen out of the [[U.S. Capitol]] building and the soldiers were ordered to sleep in an unheated parking garage,<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/01/21/national-guard-forced-to-evacuate-capitol-grounds-after-alleged-mask-complaint-by-democrat-congressman/</ref> without [[internet]] reception, with just one electrical outlet, and one bathroom having only two stalls for 5,000 troops.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/21/national-guard-troops-vacate-capitol-461220</ref> Under the [[Geneva Convention]], prisoners-of-war are mandated to be taken care of better than how the Biden regime treated U.S. military units as they assumed power their first night.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/01/22/nolte-geneva-conventions-forbid-forcing-soldiers-to-sleep-in-parking-garage/</ref>

On its first day, the Biden junta killed 70,000 high-wage [[middle class]] and union jobs by canceling the [[Keystone Pipeline]],<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2021/01/22/pollak-biden-kills-up-to-70000-jobs-on-first-day-in-office-job/</ref> making America energy dependent on [[Vladimir Putin]], [[Saudi Arabia]], and the [[Venezuela]]n Marxist regime while making America's enemies richer.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/putins-puppet-joe-bidens-eo-blocking-keystone-pipeline-forces-us-imports-russia-venezuelan-marxist-regime-video/</ref>

Among its other first acts was the weaponization of the nation's military<ref>https://www.revolver.news/2020/10/biden-loving-general-is-deploying-military-grade-information-warfare-against-trump-supporters/</ref> and intelligence apparatus against American citizens.

Likewise, the day after the seizure of power, ''[[The Washington Post]]'' shut down its alleged "fact checking" operation.<ref>https://conservapedia.com/Fake_news#cite_note-2</ref>

===Attack on civil liberties===
CNET reported the following back in 2008:
{{Quotebox-float|“Months before the [[Oklahoma City bombing]] took place, Biden introduced another bill called the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995. It previewed the 2001 Patriot Act by allowing secret evidence to be used in prosecutions, expanding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and wiretap laws, creating a new federal crime of ‘terrorism’ that could be invoked based on political beliefs, permitting the U.S. military to be used in civilian law enforcement, and allowing permanent detention of non-U.S. citizens without judicial review. The Center for National Security Studies said the bill would erode ‘constitutional and statutory due process protections’ and would ‘authorize the Justice Department to pick and choose crimes to investigate and prosecute based on political beliefs and associations.’<ref>https://www.thebigsmoke.com.au/2021/01/10/joe-biden-authored-the-patriot-act-now-hes-promised-new-domestic-terror-laws/</ref>}}
Even ''Jacobin'' magazine noted, "The danger is real that the [[Capitol riot|January 6 Capitol attack]] will be used as an excuse to severely curtail our civil liberties."<ref>https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/01/joe-biden-domestic-terrorism-bill-capitol-building</ref> The [[ACLU]] argued that the Democrats' new Domestic Terrorism bill to target their political enemies would harm minority communities.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/02/24/new-domestic-terror-laws-will-harm-minority-communities-aclu-says-1034122/</ref>

====Free speech====
Biden did not condemn Big Tech interference by censoring President Trump's social media accounts or conservatives' pages. He also actively took part in this censorship by banning comments on the White House YouTube channel after receiving an overwhelming backlash of dislikes.<ref>[https://www.herald.ng/biden-white-house-disables-youtube-comments-after-thousands-dislike-inauguration-video/ Biden White House Disables YouTube Comments After Thousands Dislike Inauguration Video]</ref>

Among the Biden junta's first official racist acts was the firing of the nation's African American [[Surgeon General]]<ref>Multiple references:

===Oil dependency===

===Illegal Immigration===
[[File:Obama detention.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The Biden junta re-activated the Obama era practice of locking children in cages.<ref>https://qz.com/1291470/photos-immigrant-children-detained-at-the-placement-center-in-2014/</ref>]]
Biden didn’t consider illegal immigrants as illegals, he calls them instead "undocumented immigrants". <ref> https://joebiden.com/immigration/</ref> In a presidential debate he admitted that he will give citizenship to 11 million illegal immigrants.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbzEuEr7Fio</ref> Biden stated that he wants to reform [[ICE]] policies, without saying which of these policies he wants to reform.<ref> https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/biden-knocks-left-wing-of-democratic-party-we-shouldnt-abolish-ice</ref>

On Biden's second day occupying the White House he issued a ''diktat'' which has been described as the most extreme directive in the history of modern [[law enforcement]]. Acting Secretary David Pekoske issued a memorandum on the evening of January 20, 2021 putting into place a 100-day [[deportation]] moratorium. There were narrow exceptions for terrorists and spies and none for [[criminal]]s and criminal suspects. The order essentially shut down [[ICE]] operations. The junta's executive order raised the refugee ceiling by 730% in the midst of the COVID pandemic.<ref>https://www.immigrationreform.com/2021/02/10/biden-intends-to-increase-refugee-numbers-by-more-than-730-percent/</ref><ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/10/poll-raising-refugee-admissions-is-bidens-most-unpopular-executive-order-so-far/</ref>

It is estimated that about 12,000 criminal illegal aliens per month will not be deported from the United States throughout the existence of the Biden/Harris regime.<ref>https://www.newswars.com/over-12000-criminal-illegals-will-be-freed-monthly-former-trump-official-warns/</ref> These illegals can vote unchallenged under the Democrats "[[For the People Act]]". Biden also canceled the Trump era Operation Talon which focused on deporting illegal child sec traffickers and sexual predators.<ref>https://newspunch.com/biden-cancels-trump-program-that-targeted-child-sex-traffickers-in-the-us-illegally/</ref>

The junta renewed the Obama era program of locking migrant children in cages.<ref>https://hotair.com/archives/karen-townsend/2021/02/23/bidens-kids-cages-moment-carrizo-springs-facility-re-opens/</ref>

===Election integrity===
:{{See also|Election integrity}}
H.R. 1 and S. 1, the so-called "[[For the People Act]]", effectively ended voter registration.<ref>https://www.dickmorris.com/hr1-effectively-ends-voter-registration-lunch-alert/</ref> That, coupled with the executive order raising the migrant refugee ceiling by 730% in the midst of the [[CCP pandemic]] effectively put an end to free and fair elections and the [[republic]].<ref>https://twitter.com/FAIRImmigration/status/1363126347573379073</ref>

===National defense===
Under the junta, the most important national security issue is the protection of transgenderism in the [[military]]. This was affirmed in presidential Executive Order No.14004 signed five days after the seizure of power.

On January 29, 2021, four days after Biden’s transgender executive order, defense minister Lloyd Austin followed with a military-wide order that all restrictions on transgenderism would be lifted pending a review of the issue which radical leftists consider crucial to America’s national security.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/02/15/barr-the-strange-priorities-of-bidens-department-of-defense/</ref>

Another of Austin's first actions was to order a 60 day nationwide stand down across all service branches to root out Trump voters, euphemistically referred to as "extremists".<ref>https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-new-domestic-war-on-terror-is</ref> The junta attempted to identify military personnel who exercised their [[First Amendment]] right to peacefully assemble on January 6, 2020.

===Healthcare===
:{{See also|Death panels}}
Junta leader Biden signed an executive order to stop President Trump's executive order keeping medicines affordable. One mother took to the internet to describe how her son's [[insulin]] medicine went from $60 a month to $320 (with a coupon, $500 without) in the first month of the regime.<ref>https://rumble.com/vdr6oz-this-is-what-biden-did-to-our-family-in-less-than-one-month.....html</ref>

As soon as the junta took power, some proponents of draconian lockdowns switched to a less hysterical position immediately. Among the most extreme lockdown proponents in the U.S. were Chicago Mayor [[Lori Lightfoot]] and New York City Mayor [[Bill De Blasio]]. In Chicago, Mayor Lightfoot decided that a much less stringent approach would be best.<ref>[https://patch.com/illinois/chicago/lightfoot-says-restaurants-should-reopen-quickly-possible “Lightfoot Says Restaurants Should Reopen As Quickly As Possible “], (Patch, January 14, 2021)</ref> A similar pattern unfolded in New York City.

===Big Tech collusion===

===Transgender priorities===

Biden will allow children in schools to "change" their gender without their parents' permission. He will also allow [[gender confusion|gender-confused]] boys to play sport with girls, and use their bathrooms and their locker rooms. This was a listed priority on the Biden-Harris campaign website. He will reinstate the Obama-Biden guidance revoked by the Trump-Pence Administration, which will restore gender-confused students’ access to sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms in accordance with their claimed gender identity. The Biden LGBTQ+ policy would allow also biological males who identify as "females" to be granted access to female locker rooms, bathrooms and sports teams without even undergoing confirmation surgery or using hormone replacements.<ref>[https://www.cnsnews.com/article/washington/lucy-collins/hawley-biden-plan-force-schools-let-transgenders-play-girls-sports Hawley: Biden Plan to Force Schools to Let Transgenders Play Girls' Sports, Use Their Locker Rooms, 'Startling Revelation of Where His Mind is At']</ref>

A Harris Poll commissioned by [[GLAAD]] prior to the 2020 election showed that U.S. adults are increasingly uncomfortable with [[LGBT]] issues — with Millennials ages 18 – 34 leading this shift. The number of non-LGBT adults ages 18 – 34 who are uncomfortable with learning a family member is LGBT rose from 24% at the end of the Obama era in 2016 to 36% in 2018. The number of Millennials uncomfortable with the idea of their children having a lesson on LGBT history at school rose from 27% to 39% during that same time. The number of Millennials that GLAAD counts as “allies” — people who are comfortable with the [[homosexual agenda]] and [[progressivism]] — dropped from 62% in 2016 to 45% in 2018.<ref>https://www.christianpost.com/news/millennials-gen-z-growing-uncomfortable-lgbt-movement-survey.html</ref> A fake news poll conducted by the [[Soros]]-funded, [[homosexual]]-centered "[[Human Rights Campaign]]" claims that 98% of [[heterosexual|straight]] [[male]]s refuse to date a [[gender confusion|gender-confused]] person allegedly because of "[[hate]]."<ref>https://ucf.forums.rivals.com/threads/are-you-in-the-98-of-hate.76324/</ref>

The Democrat junta supported passage of the alleged [[Equality Act]], a bill that would eliminate the legal recognition of male and female sex, cater to gender ideology, and designate protection for the unborn as “pregnancy” discrimination. The legislation, which would rewrite civil rights law to include “sexual orientation and [[gender identity]]” as protected classes, would likely upend the national culture as Americans have known it. Ryan Anderson, president of Ethics & Public Policy Center (EPPC) said, “The so-called Equality Act isn’t drafted as a shield to protect vulnerable minorities from unjust discrimination, but as a sword to persecute those who do not embrace new sexual and gender ideologies.”<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/19/jjoe-bidens-war-on-women-equality-act-to-end-legal-recognition-of-biological-sex/</ref>

In January 2021 Biden nominated [[Richard Levine]] - a gender-confused male who claims to be a "female" named "Rachel" - as his Assistant Health Secretary.<ref>https://therightscoop.com/biden-taps-transgender-to-be-assistant-health-secretary-and-hes-very-controversial/</ref> Levine defended the [[genocidal]] "boomer remover" policy of Gov.

====War on girl's sports====

An early Biden junta executive order destroyed girl's athletics and the hope of many young girls to win scholarships and competitions.<ref>https://www.moonofalabama.org/2021/01/on-day-1-president-joe-biden-destroyed-womens-sports.html?cid=6a00d8341c640e53ef0263e98aa8a5200b</ref>

===Gun rights===
Biden plans to control people's right to own guns, for example, banning semi-automatic firearms.<ref>https://joebiden.com/gunsafety/#</ref> He claims that his plan does not violate the [[Second Amendment]].<ref>[https://www.nraila.org/articles/20200921/joe-biden-told-voters-the-second-amendment-does-not-protect-an-individual-right Joe Biden Told Voters the Second Amendment DOES NOT Protect an Individual Right]</ref> Biden has no tolerance for anyone who opposes his anti-gun campaign; on March 10, 2020 he threatened to fight a civilian worker in Detroit, and disrespected him by calling him "Full of Sh*t" because he mentioned Joe's past statements.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k2UeoY4uyU</ref>

===Leftist insurgency===

Biden refused to denounce the terrorist Anarcho-Coummunist hate group [[Antifa]] during the first debate with President Donald Trump. He claimed they are "just an idea", not an organization. He pretends that [[FBI]] Bureau’s director [[Chris Wray]] told lawmakers that Antifa is an "ideology", not a terrorist group, but the fact this is not what Wray said, Wray said: “any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchist extremists,” which included individuals who identity with Antifa.<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/news/biden-says-antifa-is-an-idea-not-an-organization-during-presidential-debate/ Biden Says Antifa Is ‘An Idea, Not An Organization’ during Presidential Debate]</ref> It appears that Biden and Antifa have some relations, as when someone looks up the website Antifa.com, Biden's election campaign page will appear.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHDVYKgLODY</ref>

====China First policy====
According to the assessment by the 17 member U.S. [[Intelligence Community]], the [[People's Republic of China]] interfered in the 2020 presidential election on behalf of their officially favored candidate and family business partner, Joe Biden.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2021/01/07/transparent-timing-intelligence-community-assessment-on-foreign-interference-in-2020-election-submitted-to-congress-hours-after-electoral-certification/</ref>

China is the world’s largest source of Marine debris, the largest consumer of trafficked wildlife and timber products, the greatest emitter of mercury, and the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, producing nearly one third of all global emissions.

Biden has friendly relations with the Communist regime of China. Biden refuses to see Communist China as a threat to the United States and condemned the notion by calling it "bizarre".<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2020/02/28/joe-biden-bizarre-to-say-china-is-americas-competition/ Joe Biden: ‘Bizarre’ to Say China is America’s Competition]</ref> China was one of first countries which welcomed the media declaration of the Biden junta. Vice foreign minister He Yafei said: despite differences in political ideology, there could still be opportunities for long-term cooperation. “Multilateralism, I will say, is very much needed at this critical moment,” he said. “For China, the US and the EU, all of us should rethink who we are and what roles we can play in the future.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3109496/us-china-relations-trump-divisions-could-haunt-biden US-China relations: Trump divisions could haunt Biden presidency]</ref> Biden has tried making excuses for China on Uyghuri genocide and the Communist regime's attempts to annex Taiwan by claiming that country as a "renegade province" of China.<ref>[https://thetaiwantimes.com/president-biden-calls-uyghur-genocide-in-xinjiang-different-norm/ President Biden Calls Uyghur Genocide In Xinjiang “Different Norm”]</ref>

=====U.S. power grid=====
One of the junta's first acts was to expose the U.S. electrical power grid to Communist Chinese subversion. Biden has issued an executive diktat suspending President Trump's Executive Order 13920. The original Trump order stated that any use of bulk-power system equipment “designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied, by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a foreign adversary” is prohibited. The [[U.S. Department of Energy]] lists China, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea as foreign adversaries to the United States under this order. China is the only nation on the list currently engaging in mass production of electronics, manufacturing equipment, and other forms of technology like software, circuits, and instrumentation.

By suspending this rule, the government is free to procure power equipment from China, or U.S. companies operating manufacturing facilities in China. The Biden regime suspended this protection at the same time that U.S. reliance on foreign oil increased due to bans on new domestic energy production.<ref>https://uncoverdc.com/2021/01/26/president-biden-creates-vulnerabilities-in-americas-power-grid/</ref>

Biden criticized President Trump for his meeting with North Korea president [[Kim Jong-un]], despite this meeting avoiding a massive and destructive nuclear war.

Junta officials, including John Kerry and Robert Malley, had meetings with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif during the [[Trump administration]] that were orchestrated to undermine President Trump/ Zarif held face-to-face meetings with [[Obama administration]] veterans who could return to power "to devise a political strategy to undermine the Trump administration" and usher in softer diplomacy between the U.S. and Iran.<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/feb/21/john-kerry-held-backchannel-talks-iran-javad-zarif/</ref>

Manchu people

JoeJN: Added summery of regions with significant population

The '''Manchu people''' ([[Simplified Chinese|Simplified]]: 满族; [[Traditional Chinese|Traditional]]: 滿族; [[Hanyu pinyin]]: Mǎnzú) are an ethnic group of Altaic origin. Most of them live in [[Manchuria]], which has been under [[CCP]] occupation since 1945. A significant minority also live in [[Hebei]] provence of [[China]]. This is because both [[Manchuria]] and [[Japan]], who controled Hebei at the time, were in the [[Axis Powers]], and many Manchus moved to build a railroad across "Greater East Asia", which was financed by Japan. Historically, they were notorious for their barbarianism. The Manchus were also the last ruling dynasty of imperial China, as the [[Qing Dynasty]].

The Manchus also have their own language, a member of the [[Tungusic languages|Tungusic]] subfamily of the [[Altaic languages]]. The language is nearly extinct, with only around 80 speakers, mostly elderly, of the language. It is written in a script very similar to the classical Mongolian script, written vertically from left to right.
