Facebook lets Antifa group encourage their followers to burn down housing developments

Facebook recently decided to ban Gavin McInnes and multiple accounts associated with the “Proud Boys” stating that those accounts were “hate groups” and violated their policies on “hate speech”. As we have previously documented, Facebook and the other large social media monopolies selectively enforce their Terms Of Service and in most cases they are only applied to right-of-center accounts.

After hearing about the latest purge from Facebook we checked on some of the more violent far-left accounts that we monitor and unsurprisingly, no action had been taken against multiple antifa accounts that openly advocate fro the murder of President Trump and who use Facebook to radicalize, recruit, and mobilize new members. One recent example that demonstrates this double standard is the failure of Facebook to take action against the violent far-left extremist group, Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement. Just last week, this antifa group shared an “anti-gentrification” poster that encouraged people to burn down luxury housing developments. They instructed their five thousand Facebook followers to print this poster and spread it around.

In a prior post, they celebrated the recent arson attacks that this downloadable poster was referencing:

This is the same extremist group that used their Facebook and Twitter account to coordinate a nationwide campaign to deface Christopher Columbus statues and then used those same accounts to share pictures and brag about their criminal activity once the campaign was executed. But like most violent far-left accounts, they are free to violate Facebook and Twitter Terms of Service without...

REAL VOTER SUPPRESSION: NORTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATS BUY ADS DISCOURAGING HUNTERS FROM VOTING

U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp

North Dakota political blogger Rob Port first noted the ads, and said he had never heard of hunters ever losing their licenses after voting in North Dakota. A spokesman for North Dakota Gaming and Fish told Port the same: “We’ve never heard of that.”

The ads come as North Dakota Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp trails Republican challenger Kevin Cramer, a North Dakota U.S. representative, in her bid for re-election

Heitkamp, whose campaign has made several gaffes in the final stretches of the race, transferred $2.7 million from her campaign to the state party last week.

North Dakota GOP communications director Jake Wilkins slammed Heitkamp for her party’s efforts to discourage hunters from voting.

“Heidi Heitkamp is using her anti-Kavanaugh campaign coffers to suppress voter turnout in North Dakota,” Wilkins told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an email. “On the day she’s starting her de-facto farewell tour, Heitkamp is making it clear to voters that she only cares about winning re-election, not helping her constituents.”

Neither the state party nor the Heitkamp campaign returned requests for...

The Deep State, led by its faithful hitman Robert Mueller — FBI director at the time — had illegally wiretapped GOP Congressman Curt Weldon and then launched FBI raids on Weldon, his daughter, and his lawyer — weeks before his re-election bid.

The GOP’s Weldon, a 20-year member of Congress, had been demanding answers from the FBI and CIA about why they were ignoring intelligence on Osama bin Laden living in Iran after 9/11 and safely running al-Qaeda from Iran, according to shocking details in the new Deep State book PAINE: How We Dismantled the FBI in Our Pajamas.

Weldon lost the election after Mueller made sure the FBI raids were covered by all major media outlets, who were invited to tag along on the pre-dawn and early morning raids.

Then things spun out of control in a tragic downward spiral sparked by the Deep State and Mueller, according to revelations in the new Deep State book PAINE: How We Dismantled the FBI in Our Pajamas:

The political arsonists had succeeded: the smear had worked, and Weldon’s public career was over.
Weldon’s son, Curt Jr., was triggered.

Weldon’s son was a strapping young man, a former ice hockey player, raised in one of the toughest neighborhoods in suburban Philadelphia. And a loyal son. Close friends of Weldon and former Congressional colleagues recount this saga. After Mueller and senior Justice Department prosecutors trashed his father’s career, Weldon’s son “went off the rails” and informed his father, the Congressman that he was heading down to Washington D.C. to personally take care of the lead prosecutor who had signed off on the bogus search warrants that targeted his sister and father.

“He said he was going to kill this prosecutor,” a family source said. “And he left the house in Pennsylvania in a rage and was headed to D.C. to thrash this guy in the Justice Department.”

Mueller’s illegal antics had triggered Weldon’s son. And Weldon could not stop his son from departing the house. In a panic, Weldon called the Pennsylvania State Police who intercepted his son en route to Washington, D.C. Congressman Weldon had stopped his son from assaulting – and likely much worse — Mueller’s counterpart in the Justice Department but at a steep price. He was arrested.

“Curt’s son never forgave the Congressman for what went down,” another family source confessed. “It was such a mess. Just a mess.”

Congressman Weldon’s son, Curt Jr., — a vibrant and robust athlete who dominated on the ice rink and baseball diamond — turned to opioids to help cope with the depression following the arrest and the aftermath of the televised bogus federal raids orchestrated by Mueller. He spiraled deep into an addiction to pain relievers, Oxycontin, and benzodiazepines, which was prescribed for his anxiety.

In 2016, Police found Curt Jr. on his couch in his apartment, dead from a drug overdose. He was 35.

Curt Jr. left behind a 7-year-old son.

I looked up Curt. Jr.’s obituary. In part, it reads:

The $80 Trillion World Economy In One Chart

The latest estimate from the World Bank puts global GDP at roughly $80 trillion in nominal terms for 2017.

As Visual Capitalist's Jeff Desjardins notes, today’s chart from HowMuch.net uses this data to show all major economies in a visualization called a Voronoi diagram – let’s dive into the stats to learn more.

THE WORLD’S TOP 10 ECONOMIES

Here are the world’s top 10 economies, which together combine for a whopping two-thirds of global GDP.

In nominal terms, the U.S. still has the largest GDP at $19.4 trillion, making up 24.4% of the world economy.

While China’s economy is far behind in nominal terms at $12.2 trillion, you may recall that the Chinese economy has been the world’s largest when adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) since 2016.

The next two largest economies are Japan ($4.9 trillion) and Germany ($4.6 trillion) – and when added to the U.S. and China, the top four economies combined account for over 50% of the world economy.
