John Stossel – Economic Freedom and Prosperity
January 10, 2014 — xanthippaThis video is loosely related to that famous speech by Margaret Thatcher where she unmasked the leftists hypocrisy on wealth: that caring about wealth distribution, the size of the difference between the very rich and the poor in any given country is politics of envy and hate of wealth, because it says nothing about the state of the poor themselves. After all, if the poorest people in a society are not hungry, cold or unhealthy, what does it matter how rich the rich are?
PJTV – Bill Whittle – The Narrative – Political Correctness
January 1, 2014 — xanthippaWhat exactly is Political Correctness?
What is Critical Theory?
Why do feminists attack European/Christian/Jewish misogyny, but no other form?
Why is the American brief history of Slavery the only form condemned by modern inteligentsia?
I have written a little about this, and the one and Only CodeSlinger has not only widely commented on the topic, but also guest-posted ‘What is Cultural Marxism’.
If you prefer the answers in a video format, here is a very accessible summary (saying much of what CodeSlinger’s post several years ago explained) by PJ Media’s Bill Whittle:
Reference: Serenity (a most excellent movie from the Firefly universe – I’ve seen it many times and highly recommend everything Firefly related!!!)
American Academy of Pediatrics attacks raw milk
December 30, 2013 — xanthippaSurprise, surprise: yet another enemy of real food attacks the traditional diet…
What is interesting in this article (and makes it worth reading) is this bit:
In 2009, former editor–in–chief of the New England Journal of Medicine Marcia Angell admitted that the “evidence-based” studies published in her former publication and most other “scientific” journals are totally unreliable:
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.”
In her bombshell article, Drug Companies and Doctors: A Story of Corruption, she documents how doctors and scientists are bought and paid for by Big Pharma.
“Clinical trials are also biased through designs for research that are chosen to yield favorable results for sponsors,” she writes.
Yet more evidence pouring in that ‘peer-review’ is more of a ‘pal-review’…

The Freedom Party of Ontario
December 3, 2013 — xanthippaOntario is a bit of a disaster now. Through years of Liberal mismanagement, we are heading the way of Detroit: not only are businesses being driven away in record numbers, but some of our seniors and poor are sinking into energy poverty so deep that they are having to choose between food and electricity.
It is precisely because the situation is so bad that we need to educate ourselves about political options ‘out there’. In this spirit, I’d like to share with you an email I received from the Freedom Party of Ontario:
Dear Friends and Supporters,
It is with great pride and pleasure that I present you with your own first-hand opportunity to witness the birth and evolution of Ontario’s most needed and best political option to ever emerge in Ontario: Freedom Party.
Here it is: your thirty-seven minute rapid-fire video primer of everything you ever wanted to know about Freedom Party but were simply too polite to ask:
THROUGH THE MEDIA’S LENS: A Brief History of the Freedom Party of Ontario, 1984-2013
Just released after its November 23 preview showing at FP’s ‘Price of Power’ dinner event held in London, this video deals with some of the toughest questions and issues about supporting a new political party, including the big one in the back of everyone’s mind: the question of electability itself.
Expect no narration in this media compilation. There isn’t any. And yet it tells the Freedom Party story in a way that no single narrative possibly could.
THROUGH THE MEDIA’S LENS is a compressed thirty-year broadcast media account of some of the key principles, campaigns, and election strategies that have come to define Freedom Party over the years, from its founding on January 1, 1984 to the present day.
Because the video ‘speaks for itself’ as they say, for the time being I shall say no more other than to invite your comments and input on what you see. We’re already received a lot of feedback from our past few e-mailers, and we plan to share many of them with you as well. (See ‘announcements & notices’ below.)
Beyond the video’s content and substance, I ask that you also consider this: all of FP’s amazing progress and growth was made possible thanks to the past freedom pioneers who so generously financially contributed to Freedom Party. That’s why every Freedom Party contribution is indeed an investment.
If you like what you see in “Through The Media’s Lens” and think it’s worth supporting, make this your opportunity to financially support the party that makes it all possible: Freedom Party. Everything you need is right at your fingertips via the links provided below. Large contributions or small, every dollar counts, and helps pave the way for yet greater accomplishments ahead.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
