Turkey takes it past the brink, racism is not about race, and the Covid regs are not about disease: Links 1 for July 11, 2020

1. First Islamic call to prayer from the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople since 1934

2. I don’t think this clip is that recent but the issue is 100% contemporary.

What is critical to understand is that certain terms, “racist”, “Nazi”, “Fascist” and so on only mean one thing. ‘Not with or seen to be with the communist revolution underway’. That is all it means or has meant for a while. It explains what seems to be hypocricy. Why black people who are extremely reasonable and have achieved a great deal are called racists and fascists by the left. In fact they are hated more than white males, because one Clarence Thomas or Candice Owens is a much bigger threat to the communist revolution than is a few white males unaware of what is actually going on.

Seeing things at face value means being controlled opposition. If something doesn’t make sense, look for a higher level and simpler metric till it does. This is one example. That these terms listed are merely rhetorical weapons to eliminate anyone who is an obstacle to the complete and total totalitarian Leninst-Maoist state they seek to establish.

Definitely iconic. Not only a limited vocabulary but limited intelligence. Antifa and BLM terrorists need to be jailed. https://t.co/6SgTr2sPqD

Another example of a higher dimensional simpler metric for leftist actions:

There is only one rule. All revolutionary actions and speech is protected. Any counter-revolutionary actions or speech is to be criminalized as hate or off-book punished by thuggery and intimidation.

3. More than 150 academics and journalists denounce JK Rowling and Noam Chomsky’s letter pleading for free speech because they are ‘white, wealthy and endowed with massive platforms’

A group of academics and professionals from the world of journalism are speaking out to denounce a letter that was published earlier this week in Harper’s Magazine in which its signatories spoke out to decry as they saw as a slow stifling of free speech.

Dozens of artists, writers and academics signed the open letter decrying the weakening of public debate and warning that the free exchange of information and ideas was in jeopardy amid a rise in what they call ‘illiberalism.’

J.K. Rowling, Salman Rushdie and Margaret Atwood were among dozens of writers, artists and academics to argue against ideological conformity.

(This is not contradictory either. Please see text above and below item 2. You could use reason to easily show why the response is illogical to this letter, and Chomsky has a long history of sort of defending freedom of speech but never mentioning speech codes or other leftist limits on Conservative speech at campus with which he had to be familiar. So on the surface, this looks like the left eating the left. But it is more likely the dialectic engine clicking ever farther to the left to achieve the goal of a Leninist-Maoist state and anyone who is any kind of obstacle will be moved out of the way. Icons who pushed for the left like Chomsky or Rowling are major threats to the left.)

4. Turkey: Muslim breaks into venerable Armenian Orthodox cathedral, recites Islamic call to prayer

Legend has it that when the Muslims conquered Jerusalem in the year 637, Sophronius, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, invited the caliph Umar to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Umar declined, explaining that if he did, the Muslims would convert the church into a mosque, as Muslim prayers had been uttered there. It is likely that this man now considers the Armenian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Cross to be a mosque, since he uttered the Adhan within it.

6. Climate Larpers in London try and do a wave with their coats. Kinda funny.

7. On Stephen Pinker, Noam Chomsky and the state of the dialectic push leftwards against any obstacle to the revolution. (Not how it is framed in the video. Its controlled opposition in the video)

8. What’s with Fauci?

Dr. Fauci told the Financial Times that he hasn’t briefed President Trump on COVID-19 in about two months.

Perhaps it has something to do with the constant contradictions between the two men.

Here is a very interesting video showing the many disagreements they’ve had. pic.twitter.com/ytYu5zBlOW
