Ninety miles from the South Eastern tip of the United States, Liberty has no stead. In order for Liberty to exist and thrive, Tyranny must be identified, recognized, confronted and extinguished.
"Each girl had been nailed alive upon her cross, spikes through her feet and hands..." — Aurora Mardiganian, Ravished Armenia.
Often overlooked... is that this was less a genocide of Armenians and more a genocide of Christians. Thus the opening sentence of U.S. House Resolution 296, which passed on the hundredth anniversary of the genocide (2019), correctly mentions "the campaign of genocide against Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Syriacs, Arameans, Maronites, and other Christians."
Christianity is what all of those otherwise diverse peoples had in common, and therefore it — not nationality, ethnicity, territory, or grievances — was the ultimate determining factor concerning who the Turks would and would not "purge."
"Christians were considered infidels (kafir). The call to Jihad... was part of the plan." — Joseph Yacoub, author of Year of the Sword: The Assyrian Christian Genocide
An eyewitness recalled that... "outrages" [were] committed against "even children"....
"The opportunity [World War I] presented itself for clearing Turkish soil of a Christian race." — Winston Churchill.
"Turkey is taking advantage of the war in order to thoroughly liquidate its internal foes, i.e., the indigenous Christians, without being thereby disturbed by foreign intervention.... The question is settled. There are no more Armenians." — Talaat Pasha, the de facto leader of the Ottoman Empire during the genocide, June 1915.
Turkey, in 2020, sent sharia-enforcing "jihadist groups," from Syria and Libya.... These Muslim groups committed numerous atrocities. These included raping an Armenian female soldier and mother of three, before hacking off all four of her limbs, gouging her eyes, and sticking one of her severed fingers inside her private parts. — Greek City Times, September 25, 2020.
Not only has it gone unpunished; NATO ally Turkey has resumed the genocide against the very descendants of those whom the Turks nearly exterminated over a century ago — namely Armenians and Assyrians.
More recently, in late 2022, Turkey launched thousands of attacks — air, mortar, drone, artillery, etc.—several miles deep into Syria's northern border. This is, of course, where most of the religious minorities live — Christians, Yazidis, and Kurds, who a few years earlier experienced a genocide at the hands of the Islamic State ("ISIS").
"These military attacks by Recep Tayyip Erdogan's regime are part of a wider Turkish policy of annihilation of the Kurdish and Assyrian [Christian] people in northern Syria and Iraq. Turkey has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, including bombing, shelling, abduction, torture, and extrajudicial killings. The attacks are part of Turkey's genocidal policies towards Kurds, Christians, and Ezidis." — Genocide Watch, December 7, 2022.
"This genocide is a pattern we see, and it's certainly nothing new.... For those who say 'Not on our watch!' or 'Never again!'— here it is, happening again!" — Charmaine Hedding, president of the US-based Shai Fund, webinar on Turkey's genocidal assault on Christians in Syria, rumble.com, December 15, 2022.

Yesterday, April 24, was Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. The Genocide Education Project offers a summary of that tragic event which transpired during World War I (1914-1918):
Tucker Carlson told attendees at The Heritage Foundation’s 50th-anniversary gala that the biggest variable changing everyday Americans’ lives in recent years is the ruling class’ monopoly on information.
“What do you think over the last 10 or 20 years — whatever timeline you think is appropriate —has changed the most?” Roberts asked. “I mean that socially and culturally, I don’t mean that politically, although you can go there if you want, that has affected everyday Americans’ lives?”
“The lack of information,” Carlson quickly replied.
Despite living in a digital world where data and details are available to everyone with access to the internet, Carlson said normal Americans’ access to the information pipeline is significantly hampered.
“The core promise of the internet was as much information as we’ve ever had at your fingertips, and the result has been a centralization of information. This is deliberate, needless to say, but unnoticed by most people. That results in more controlled information than we could even have imagined more than 20 years ago,” he said. “A lot of information just is not available because it’s digital and it’s controlled by a small number of companies.”
Carlson said “hundreds of millions” of Americans “have no idea what’s going on” because the ruling class does not want them to know the facts.
“It’s not just because they’re dumb or they’re distracted on their iPhones. The whole point of the iPhone was to inform you, and the net effect has been to make people completely ignorant of the core, the actual facts, like the non-disputed facts about a lot of different things. And you saw this, certainly, during covid,” Carlson remarked.
Keeping Americans clueless, Carlson said, is advantageous to those who control information pipelines because it “challenges the idea of democracy, which rests on the notion of an informed voting public, of a citizenry.”
“We don’t have that, and that really, I never would have expected that at all,” Carlson said.
Next, Carlson warned listeners not to throw away hardcopy books and to consider buying “gold and ammo.”
“Definitely don’t throw away your books because they can’t be disappeared, because they exist physically,” Carlson repeated.
Similarly, Carlson said Americans should be keen not to throw away “relationships with other people because they can’t be...
Tucker Carlson enjoyed a slice of pizza during his final segment on Fox News with a heroic delivery man who helped subdue a car-jacking suspect in Pennsylvania last weekend.
On Monday, Fox News announced that Carlson and Fox had “agreed to part ways” after nearly seven years of Tucker Carlson Tonight dominating cable airwaves and the anchor’s previous roles as a contributor and Fox & Friends Saturday host.
With Carlson’s impressive run coming to an end, Friday marked his final show and segment on the network. Tyler Morrell, a pizza deliveryman who works at Cocco’s in Aston, Pennsylvania, joined him in the studio for his last segment.
On April 16, Morrell was making a delivery in the Brookhaven area in Aston when an alleged carjacker exited a vehicle during a police pursuit and began to flee on foot, Breitbart News reported. Video shows that as the suspect attempted to sprint past Morrell, he stuck his foot out with pizza boxes in hand, tripping the alleged carjacker, which enabled police to corral the man. Morrell, who joined Tucker Carlson Tonight remotely earlier in the week, arrived at the studio with boxes of Cocco’s pizza. One of the pies was a special order for Carlson: sausage and pineapple.
“This is sausage and pineapple, and really quick as a pizza professional, do you look down on this order?” Carlson asked Morrell.
“I do. I consider it criminal,” Morrell responded, drawing a boisterous laugh from Carlson, who noted he was a pizza delivery man himself years ago.
“How’s your leg, by the way?” Carlson asked, pointing out that Morrell’s “leg was injured by the fleeing car thief.”
Morrell, enjoying a slice of pepperoni pizza, showed off his bone bruise as the anchor remarked, “Oh damn, I can see it.”
Soon thereafter, Carlson wrapped up his show for the final time.
“What a great way to end the week. Truly that was a great segment, and I’m grateful you came on,” Carlson told Morrell. “I’m especially thankful for the pie. Employee of the week — we’ll just make it of the year — Tyler Morrell of Cocco’s Pizza.”
“We’ll be back on Monday,” Carlson said. “In the meantime, have the best...
