Beyond Empowerment: Kamala Harris and the Limits of Feminism
Kamala Harris represents a militant, in-your-face feminism...
Cathy Smith
Kamala Harris is an intensely divisive figure in contemporary politics—an incandescent icon for some, an ongoing disappointment for many others. As the first-ever woman Vice President, she embodies a pivotal feminist moment. But this political achievement does raise some disturbing questions on what empowerment is and for whom.
Wrapped up in Harris's political persona is a profound commitment to security and law enforcement at the expense of those self-same communities that she is supposed to represent. This was taken to its logical conclusion in her tenure as Attorney General for California, where she tended towards tough-on-crime policies that evidently hit low-income and minority communities the hardest. Critics charge that her policies moved closer towards more punitive measures and away from justice itself but underline how feminist tropes of empowerment can be intertwined with state power and surveillance.
These intersections of feminism and state security raise profound ethical issues. A certain stream of feminist thought has allied itself with state interests, which often argue for policies of safety and security at the expense of individual freedoms. Such alliances more often than not further reinforce structures of domination. For example, in the context of the War on Drugs, some feminist leaders supported what was seen as "protectionist" policies that answered calls for increased surveillance and incarceration, which by and large disproportionately attacked already-marginalized communities (Crenshaw, 1991).
The Geopolitics of South-East Europe and the Importance of the Regional Geostrategic Position at the Turn of the 20th Century
South-East Europe culturally and historically is an integral part of the
European civilization, influenced throughout the centuries by East
Mediterranean, Central, West, and East European cultural features.
by Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirović
Preface
A geopolitical issue of South-East Europe became of very importance for scholars, policymakers, and researchers with the question of the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire as one of the most crucial features of the beginning of the 20th century in European history. A graduate collapse of the one-time great empire was accelerated and followed by competition and struggle by both, the European Great Powers and the Balkan national states, upon the territorial inheritance of it. While the European Great Powers had the aim to obtain new spheres of political-economic influence in South-East Europe, followed by the task to establish a new balance of power in the continent, a total collapse of the Ottoman state was seen by small Balkan nations as the unique historical opportunity to enlarge the territories of their national-states by the unification of all ethnolinguistic compatriots from the Ottoman Empire with the motherland. The creation of a single national state, composed of all ethnographic and historic “national” lands, was in the eyes of the leading Balkan politicians as a final stage of national awakening, revival, and liberation of their nations which started at the turn of the 19th century on the ideological basis of the German romanticist nationalism expressed in a formula: “One Language-One Nation-One State”.¹
Democrats Are the New Gestapo

Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Democrat Law School Deans Say Free Speech Threatens Their Agendas. Democrats are no longer the party of John F. Kennedy. They and their media whores are the party of Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Propaganda.
Fearful of the Public, Western Leaders Turn to Censorship
Ian DeMartinoOn Saturday, former US First Lady Hillary Clinton called for increased federal regulation of the internet and repealing Section 230. “If the platforms… don’t moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control,” she said, raising the question of who “we” represents in that statement.
The recent purge of YouTube accounts, including those from Mark Sleboda, Rachel Blevins, Glenn Diesen, DD Geopolitics, Fiorella Isabel, Larry Johnson, and Eva K. Bartlett, it is clear that the Western leaders are scared of their populations finding out the truth about their policies and actions.
“We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people,” Former US President John F. Kennedy.
“That’s what they’re afraid of,” Sleboda, an expert in geopolitical relations and a frequent guest on Sputnik Radio, told The Final Countdown. “They don’t trust you to hear an alternate view from the official US government narrative and come to what they consider the right political conclusions.”
Many Americans were taught that freedom was proof-positive that Western-style democracies were superior to other systems.
Societal Violence Against White Males in America: Anger, Identity, and Ideological Tussles
by Chris Spencer
"In a landscape where many are silenced, the growing discontent of white men reveals an urgent cultural injury—a plea for recognition that, if ignored, could set off a destructive wave of division."
The one thing that most white men in America have in common, despite their different ages and socio-economic backgrounds, is anger and frustration born from the non-existence of a strong men's rights movement. “White Nationalists” (this identity is stuffed down our throats by Leftist Theorists) have watched, often for years, as articulate or stunt-prone minorities take over politics and culture, and what little voices they have (30% of America's population are Caucasian Males) become demeaned and marginalized. Terms like "skinhead" or "bigot" not only derail their experiences but also contribute to growing resentment and feelings of disenfranchisement. 50-years of de-masculinizing America have turned her into a hollowed out shell of her former self; the last 30-years, the greatest technological achievements are digital facial recognition, license plate readers, cell phone surveillance and satellite tracking of everyone. Workplace promotions based on sexism and reverse skin-color racism rather than merit have turned America into an open sewer.
Many Caucasian males in America detest the 0.25-0.35 grabbing the media attention with flag-burning stunts – while the seething, hideous rage in 30% of America continues to be taunted with titles like "White Nationalists," aka Hebrew Media-speak for implying we are Hitler-Mussolini-fans. This media cheating and abuse is the new newspeak.
The Democrats and Their Media Will Start a Civil War
They've been victimized by transgender delusion and pronoun
madness while the price of food doubled, and their families went hungry.
Editor thepeoplesvoice.org
In order to explain how this situation occurred in America I will talk a little about my interactions with my neighbor. I'm not worried that he will see this article because the internet isn't how he gets his news and forms his opinions. Everything he knows comes from the Democrat left-wing globalist media, CNN and MSNBC. In fact, the more biased and filled with "fake news" the more he believes it. He doesn't possess critical thinking skills. He believes all of the left-wing democrat propaganda no matter how many times he's lied to, he believes, believes, believes.
When the Russia, Russia, Russia, hoax was in the news day and night he believed it all. He believed that Russia interfered with the 2016 and 2020 elections. He believed that Donald Trump was working with the Russians. When it was all exposed as crap and the globalist media quietly got on with a new pack of lies, he simply forgot about being misled and lied to and accepted the next idiocy. He believes men can be women and give birth because the Democrats and their media told him so. He doesn't possess the mental faculties to question it.
Sometimes when we're both outside in our backyards, we have short, strained conversations. I have to walk on eggshells and be careful not to say anything about the cost of food, the economy, Trump, the war in Ukraine, or the coming election. He lives in a fictional democrat narrative where there is no inflation, the cost of gasoline was higher during Trump, and everything is better now under Biden. I don't want to get on the subject of news and world affairs with him because inevitably he will parrot the lies he hears on MSNBC or CNN, his two favorite sources of news. He doesn't realize it's propaganda, he doesn't question anything and believes everything they tell him.
At This Time in the World There Is Only One Important Decision Waiting to be Made
World War III is about to happen unless Putin stands down
Paul Craig Roberts
Except for the neoconservatives whose agenda it is, I sometimes wonder if I am the only other person who understands what the Ukraine conflict is about. While we await Washington’s decision about firing missiles into Russia, I will explain how we reached the current crisis.
In 2007 Washington declared war on Russia without announcing it. Putin provoked Washington’s secret declaration of war when he rejected Washington’s uni-polar hegemony at the Munich Security Conference.
Washington’s first attack was a year later when, while Putin was distracted at the Beijing Olympics, Washington sent a US trained and equipped Georgian army into South Ossetia. The purpose was not to defeat Russia militarily. Instead, it was a calculated risk that Putin might stand down and to avoid a military conflict that the West could misrepresent as restoring the Soviet Empire, and allow the Russian protectorate to be absorbed into Georgia. The American neoconservatives were gambling with lives not their own that Putin and thereby Russia would be weakened by giving in, thus opening more paths of aggression against Russia.
The neoconservatives’ plot against Putin might have worked except the Georgian invaders killed Russian peace-keepers. In 2008 Putin was trying to resurrect Russian pride, which was lost with the Soviet collapse 1991, and could not turn his back on dead Russian soldiers in South Ossetia. He returned from China, sent in an army, and smashed the US trained and equipped Georgian army in 5 days.
Corruption in the Judiciary: A Critical Look at Kamala Harris's Role in Femi-Justice
By Chris Spencer
Every Father in America Risks He and his Wealth Becoming Rabbit Food for Judges, Lawyers, Commissioners and Pscho-Babble Spokes "persons" all freeloading off of the work of others. The Family Parasite Court System, Now Overseen by Her Lordess, Kamala Harris...
In theory, integrity in the judiciary should be the bedrock of the rule of law and a fully functioning democracy. In practice, this noble ideal is far from the truth. Under leaders such as Kamala Harris—who tout their experience in the law while overseeing a judiciary thoroughly corrupted and riddled with ethical breaches—the foundation of our system of justice has been gravely and irreversibly undermined. Her tenure as Attorney General of California has been marred by a disturbing trend of failing to uphold standards of integrity, especially when it comes to the rights of men within the justice system. How does Harris tout a judicial system that has on her watch, ground innumerable men into grist?
High-Profile Cases of Judicial Corruption
One glaring case of judicial corruption was the impeachment of Judge Thomas Porteous in 2010 for bribery and perjury. He accepted money from lawyers and subsequently lied about it to federal investigators. This case illustrates that federal judges can indeed be corrupt, highlighting the larger problem: leadership, such as Harris, does nothing to stem the endemic corruption in the judiciary; corrupt activity continues with impunity.
Money Speaks: Justice for Sale
The alarming trend today is shaped by judicial campaign contributions, termed "justice for sale." For instance, former Pennsylvania Supreme Parasitic Court Justice Michael Eakin drew criticism for salacious emails he sent. His lack of impartiality when attorneys from his online network appeared in front of him raises red flags over the disproportionate impact financial interests have on judicial decisions. On Harris's watch, this system has degraded into an elitist playground wherein the ordinary citizen, particularly men seeking justice, has been left behind.
Whatever Perversion of Life They Desire
When people are convinced of the normalcy of abominations, they will
submit to any cruelty desired by the State.
Editor thepeoplesvoice.org
The Biden-Harris administration's 'America Last' policies have intentionally left the country vulnerable. Biden and Harris drained the strategic petroleum reserve and sent hundreds of billions in cash and weapons to Ukraine. The regime sent vital electrical transformers to Ukraine that had been stored away for exactly such disasters as Hurricane Helene.
Biden and Harris spent $640 million dollars, nearly all the FEMA funds intended for emergency preparedness on their precious illegal immigrant voters. Now when the American people desperately need assistance with Hurricane Helene, FEMA is 'broke.' FEMA doesn't have any money left for hurricane season, which typically lasts through November.
In a shocking firsthand account, a SpaceX engineer in storm-battered North Carolina reveals that Biden and Harris blocked shipments by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), of critical goods for relief efforts into the storm-battered region. It appears to be the intention of Biden and Harris to destroy American communities, infrastructure, and the American people.
"We can see what can be, unburdened by what has been." The Marxist phrase often quoted by Harris, highlights a common theme in revolutionary thought: The necessity of destroying the existing socio-economic infrastructure in order to build a new communist Marxist state. They intend total physical, economic, psychological and ideological change.
The little democrat communist crony capitalist hypocrite AOC was a poor bartender in a New York dive before being selected to office. Now suddenly worth thirty million dollars, she frequently uses the Carl Marx quote: "We have a world to win", meaning, 'a world to subvert'. Their corrupt vision won't be constrained by historical, traditional, or moral American values.
The democrats and their Marxist school teachers are removing all reference to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Pledge of Allegiance from the American education curriculum. Constitutional laws and rights are an anathema to Communism. The minds of American youths must be unburdened and cleansed of these traditional concepts.
Chain of Fools: A World on the Brink via Bush, Obama, Trump, Harris, and Netanyahu
By Tracy Turner
U.S. administrations, Israel, global conflict, misinformation, free speech, AIPAC, ADL, public opinion, Middle East, Iran, oil revenue, civil liberties, censorship, political erosion, economic decline, cultural fragmentation, corporate interests, propaganda, war likelihood, geopolitical tensions, democracy, authoritarianism.
The policy decisions of former and active U.S. administrations, in concert with those taken by Israel, have significantly destabilized world politics and weakened America against foreign threats as it turns its guns on misinformation and battles to suppress freedom of speech.
AIPAC, the ADL, and their tightly-knit mafia of media outlets have worked increasingly to shape global narratives in ways that may get us closer to global conflict. This 'coalition' comes with a story that frequently browbeats debate and feeds an acid-division environment ripe for escalation. As geopolitical flashpoints around the world heat up, their impact on public opinion and policy is all but more pronounced.
The Danger Dance of Global Politics
Living in the shadow of influential leaders like George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and Benjamin Netanyahu, the world is condemned to a tragic opera of folly. Each has contributed to a narrative of distrust and aggression, binding nations in a noose of hate. The U.S. and Israel, as two of the most influential players, maintain contentious policies that draw the world nearer to conflict and prolong tensions in the Middle East.
Kievan Russia (882−1242): The Original National State of Russians
In fact, the first national state of Russians – Kievan Russia, originated in
the Viking’s attempt to impose trade control over the territories around
the main watersheds from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
by Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirović
In the years from 882 to 1242 the first and original national state organization of the Russians– the Kievan Russia (not Kyivan Rusia or Kyiv Rus’!) became directly and indirectly subject to external political influences by several external political units of the time. According to the official historiographical traditions (mainly of Western origin), Kievan Russia was established and governed by the Nordic Vikings (“Varyagi/Varangians/Rus’”) with the Dnieper as its axis with Kiev as capital and later received Christianity of the Eastern (Greek)type from the Byzantium in the south and was finally conquered by the barbaric Mongol Tartars from the east.
The origin of the term “rus’” is, actually, still not scientifically investigated and, therefore, clear (due to the lack of proper historical sources). However, in the early period of the state’s emergence, the Eastern Slavs did not use the term “rus’” to refer to themselves. The term is, in fact, related to the Old Norse word “rōþr”, which means a rower or a campaign by boatspropelled by oars. In the 9th and 10th centuries, “rus’” referred to the ducal inner circle and his confidants, the army – an elite social group. In Byzantine written historical sources circulating until the 11th century, “rus’” (“Rhōs”) referred to the Scandinavians or the NordiVikings. Around that time another name, “Varangians” (“Varangoi”), also appeared. Varangians were primarily Nordic-Scandinavian mercenaries in the Byzantine Imperial army. They were elite warriors valued for their valor and loyalty and even formed the Emperor’s personal bodyguard. The terms “rus’” and “Varangians” have been used synonymously since the 11th century.
