      "body": "Ian Bremmer, President and Founder of The Eurasia Group which is an international consulting firm, an editor for Time Magazine and a professor at New York University has created a thesis on why he believed globalization has failed and initiated the shift toward nationalism over the last 2 years.\n\nBremmer is a globalist. He believes that globalization is good for the world because its theoretical framework creates opportunities during periods of economic downturn. For Bremmer, globalization opens doors of prosperity for economically challenged countries.\n\nHowever, Bremmer in his thesis “Us vs. Them: The Failure of Globalism”, concedes that globalization has not benefited everyone because its success created economic inequalities. Not all countries could adjust to the changes brought forth by shifting international trade policies and innovations in technology:\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmU13U3gUoac7QcJdWPey2jkSnPQURkzpY6E5hLZAJ7R1X/image.png)\n\n“Even as it makes the world better, it breeds economic and cultural insecurity, and when people act out of fear, bad things happen.”\n\nEconomic inequality encouraged migration to regions which enjoyed comparative advantages. Increased immigration introduced distortions in the wage rate, increase competition in an already-scarce jobs market and fears on radical changes in social values.\n\nBremmer believes that inequality has empowered populist thought. Local citizens began to point fingers as to why their lot in life has not improved. Consequently, immigrants become the obvious target.\n\nWhy? Traditionally globalist countries such as Germany, France and Canada have strongly advocated pro-immigration policies by citing the need for more warm bodies to fill in gaps in much-needed skills. Bremmer argues that inequality has made competition ugly and has led to an “Us vs. Them” narrative which has played to the benefit of nationalists.\n\nIn terms of innovation, some countries did not have the money or resources to comply with the demands of change. Even if in theory, automated means of production could make processes more efficient, they could not assume the risk if revenue targets are not met.\n\nBremmer cites the example of Nigeria. It is a growing economy but its level of poverty has increased since the start of the 21st century. Despite rising poverty levels, the Nigerian government has hardly spent on public health or the creation of social programs. Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa but also experiences a high degree of economic and social inequality. It has not benefited from the globalization movement.\n\nHowever, Brenner thinks that globalization may still find its way back to relevance. The road just won’t be easy:\n\n“The best case scenario is that some of these more individualized attempts to address global problems start working, we get lucky with a scalable tech breakthrough or three, and we start to pull ourselves out of this tribalism sooner or later.”\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/globalist-explains-why-globalization-has-failed/",

      "body": "Scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) have discovered that microplastics have found their way into the ocean floor of the Great Australian Bight; one of Australia’s most precious and pristine marine environments.\n\nDr. Denise Hardesty, one of the principal research scientists at CSIRO, believes the discovery should act as a wakeup call for the Australian government to prioritize legislation that strongly incentivizes companies to address the growing problem of microplastics in deep ocean waters:\n\n“This points to just how ubiquitous plastics are in our environment. Even in deep sea sediments around Australia, that’s a developed country, we still find plastic, anthropogenic waste, from the bottom of the ocean to the surface.![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfS4P1fZrfmyouonkVw4xRGQL1Nfd66KTfqoxRPJiXcwD/image.png)\n\n“Wherever you are, the organisms passing through those areas will have come in contact with it. Whether it was a fishing line or a plastic bag that’s broken down into thousands of tiny pieces.”\n\nLast year, CSIRO scientists likewise found microplastics in samples taken from the Derwent river which is located in Tasmania. Mussels that were extracted from the river were also found to have consumed the microplastics.\n\nDr. Jennifer Lavers from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania shared her opinion that Australians should be concerned that microplastics have found their way to the Great Australian Bight:\n“Everything that is tiny at the base of the food web so it’s not an issue of just an albatross swallowing a cigarette lighter or a sperm whale swallowing big chunks of net. You now have literally microplastics being eaten by corals, sea cucumbers, clams and mussels, and zoo plankton at the very base of the food web. You have all levels of the food web infiltrated with this stuff. It’s everywhere and where the plastic goes, the chemicals follow.”\n\nJason Tanner, a marine biologist for the South Australia Research and Development Institute led the research on biodiversity in the Great Australian Bight:\n\n“There’s quite a diverse fauna down there; filter feeders, soft corrals, sponges and lots of more mobile organisms, starfish, sea cucumbers, urchins and of course, fish. We found almost 300 new species from our sampling.”\n\nSouth Australia introduced legislation in 1977 that would provide cash as incentives for returning recyclable plastics. The government also banned the use of plastic bags in 2009.\n\nHowever, Tanner said that they still brought up human garbage such as soft drink cans, pieces of clothing and plastics during the sampling.\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/great-australian-bight-contaminated-by-microplastics/",

One new alt-media personality we came across is El Dia who is an Australian YouTuber based in Melbourne. She vlogs and hosts discussions about the culture wars, feminism, immigration and other hot topics. She’s interviewed many high profile people on her channel such as Imam Tawhidi and Joy Villa who wore the MAGA dress at the Grammys.\n\nWe learn about her journey to YouTube and how her views evolved growing up. We look at the state of freedom or lack of it in Australia with political correctness and social re-engineering reigning supreme. We reflect on the Trump phenomena and whether we are satisfied with his performance as President. We look at the destruction third wave feminism has brought to women’s rights and animosity it has created between the genders.\n\nWe look at the abortion struggle which as well as being up against laws which permit abortion until birth there are now laws against pro-life activism. We discuss what is the right immigration mix, how Islamic and African immigration is not suited to Australia but white South Africans are a different matter. We look at the post-Christian West and how lack of Christian values has led to declining morals and more degeneracy. I also ask Dia about her support for the state of Israel and debate with her if it is a battle we need to be involved in.\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/waves/146/",

      "body": "There is always outrage when a Christian baker, florist or photographer refuses to provide their services for a same-sex wedding. Various state anti-discrimination laws have ruined Christian wedding businesses with large fines and legal fees, and also led to many others receiving abuse from LGBT activists.\n\nThe issue is now before the US Supreme Court in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, a saga which began in 2012 when  Masterpiece Cakeshop refused to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding. They were then sued under Colorado state law which bars discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in public accommodations. The Court is considering if the law violates the free exercise of religion under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.\n\nBut businesses being forced to serve people whose beliefs/lifestyles they disagree with would appear to only go one way. Since the election of Trump, his supporters have found themselves the target of abuse and discrimination. Trump supporters are easily recognisable in public, proudly wearing the iconic Make America Great Again caps.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSTjSLh93WFTobpozpzDziEeHRsCp1Y8nxEv6xbsgfYeL/image.png)\n\nThe wearing of this cap got one Trump supporter Greg Piatek, 31 kicked out of New York City bar The Happiest Hour after Trump’s inauguration. After receiving rude service from a bartender they were formally asked to leave by a senior staff member who told them “Anyone who supports Trump — or believes in what you believe — is not welcome here! And you need to leave right now because we won’t serve you!”\n\nPiatek decided to sue the bar in the Manhattan Supreme Court claiming they “offended his sense of being American”. The lawyer for The Happiest Hour argued the eviction was lawful because state and city anti-discrimination laws only protect religion, not political belief. The judge hearing this case agreed and dismissed Piatek’s case proclaiming that “Here the claim that plaintiff was not served and eventually escorted out of the bar because of his perceived support for President Trump is not outrageous conduct”.\n\nThis ruling could have ramifications around the United States and could mean that Trump supporters may have to hide their political beliefs for fear of falling afoul of their employer or dealings with other businesses.\n\nA similar ruling was made in Australia in the past week, the Fair Work Ombudsman ruled that a Canberra party business did not break any workplace laws when it ended its relationship with contractor Madeline when she posted a Facebook frame on her profile picture of ‘It’s okay to vote no’ during the Marriage Law Postal Survey. The Ombudsman ruled that political opinion was not a protected attribute under Australian law.\n\nThis disparity between discrimination laws based on traditional left and right wing attributes does appear to be a double standard and an example of one rule for some and another for others. Surely our society has to decide if all workplace/business discrimination is wrong or the classical liberal principle of freedom of association should reign supreme.\n\n*Update: A representative for the bar “The Happiest Hour” sent the following statement to The Unshackaled:\n“At the Happiest Hour we firmly support womens’ rights, marriage equality, gun control, the environment, and regard for the truth- we don’t discriminate. What’s gotten lost in this story is that the guest wasn’t kicked out because he was wearing a Trump hat- he was asked to leave after being verbally abusive to our staff, which is something we don’t tolerate regardless of who you are. And this is after he spent almost $200- the 20% tip he left would seem to indicate he was satisfied with the service he received.”\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/new-york-judge-rules-it-is-legal-to-refuse-service-to-trump-supporters/",

The video would be inappropriate for most public places, and that goes double for a state-run school. Granted, anyone who chooses to watch this video in the privacy of their own home is well within their right, but parents are understandably upset. Watch the video below (if you dare):\nThe school teaches Sex-Ed with the help of an organization called SARA, who was asked to leave after multiple complaints from the parents. According to the school SARA had always selected their content carefully, and that this was not what they had come to expect from the program. They went on to apologize for showing the video and say they understand the parents’ objections.\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/ninth-grade-students-shown-sex-ed-video-about-penile-pleasure/![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmciG16fWrg4nx7ZhQ78peo58LVe2fhMwpudouwGBGP5A1/image.png)",

      "body": "![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPFoEDNzMFQLHbKWdRHtPPUZWu69MJfh2WLFgHoBi7KEa/image.png)\nThousands gathered around the country yesterday to commemorate the deaths of those brave souls that made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and to stop the militarisation of Europe. Hopes were high for this year’s event despite the left wing threatening their usual antics, this time they were hoping to rally their numbers to commemorate the deaths of the Frontier Wars to which I say,  each to his own, but you could pick a better day and refrain from the use of the words “lest we forget,” a phrase most commonly associated with ANZAC Day.\n\nSometime before the day itself (either late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning) this banner was put up in Carlton.\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSyFu7Vt1LWBfJGkLioe1mpadSKZtcUKXwPrF3TjpUnr6/image.png)\n\nSo far this is the only one that has been publicised but there is no reason why they could not have put up more.\n\nThe night before protesters were also spotted outside the Victoria State Library in a group no more than 15 holding up antiwar signs including the Syrian flag. At the front was a man with a megaphone announcing their plans to hold rallies for the Frontier Wars as well as many other wars that the left disagrees with.\n\nThe next day people looking out for Frontier Wars rallies in Melbourne were disappointed, as there have been no reports of anything. However, video footage has emerged showing a large group in Canberra approaching the soldiers in the ANZAC march calling white people bastards (even though their group was made up of whites predominantly) and playing music by blowing the great hollow stick of complexity and beating the wooden sticks of low energy. It was truly terrifying…\n\nAll leftist antics aside, the turnout at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne was truly impressive. Thousands were gathered in a crowd that covered almost the entire corner of the park. The morning started off with speeches from politicians and returned servicemen alike reflecting upon Australia’s long and eventful war history, as well as stories of bravery and savagery from the Great War.\n\nSecurity at the event was rather poor, as a cameraman, I patrolled the event throughout with a backpack that could have held anything in it but no one looked at me twice, despite the fact that I just look like a school shooter.\nThe March followed soon after at 9 a.m. We gathered at Flinders Street to see large groups of soldiers in formation as well as various marching bands. It was really quite impressive to watch. When the march began one could see much evidence of the diversification of the army. As they marched in groups of 10 to 50 I could not see any obvious transsexuals, however, a significant portion of some of those groups were made up of Asian looking cadets. This level of diversity would not have been seen or even dreamed about back in the 1910s during a high point of the “White Australia Policy.” Picture of the ANZACs reflect that entirely.\n\nI did not let that ruin my experience though and continued to film. Banners were carried naming each conflict Australia has ever been in, including the cold war proxies with Veterans from each war marching close behind.\n\nInterviewing bystanders was interesting. Everyone had a different story of a relative that served in the supposed War to End All Wars. One man stated that if it wasn’t for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 his grandfather would have probably not survived the Second World War, being in a Japanese POW camp for most of the conflict. This was indeed an interesting take on things that I had never thought about before.\n\nAll in all, Wednesday showed that Australians’ sense of national pride is still very much alive and well. Leftist agitators were either too scared or were just plain ignored as the day powered on and the crowds only grew bigger. The conversations with the people I spoke to showed just how much the general public connects with days like this. We all have a stake in this country, its past and future, and I believe that as the years go on despite the pushing of diversity and Marxist ideas this day and days like it will always be special to the real Australians.\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/anzac-day-reaffirms-australian-national-pride/",

The judge hearing this case agreed and dismissed Piatek’s case proclaiming that “Here the claim that plaintiff was not served and eventually escorted out of the bar because of his perceived support for President Trump is not outrageous conduct”.\n\nThis ruling could have ramifications around the United States and could mean that Trump supporters may have to hide their political beliefs for fear of falling afoul of their employer or dealings with other businesses.\nA similar ruling was made in Australia in the past week, the Fair Work Ombudsman ruled that a Canberra party business did not break any workplace laws when it ended its relationship with contractor Madeline when she posted a Facebook frame on her profile picture of ‘It’s okay to vote no’ during the Marriage Law Postal Survey. The Ombudsman ruled that political opinion was not a protected attribute under Australian law.\n\nThis disparity between discrimination laws based on traditional left and right wing attributes does appear to be a double standard and an example of one rule for some and another for others. Surely our society has to decide if all workplace/business discrimination is wrong or the classical liberal principle of freedom of association should reign supreme.\n\n*Update: A representative for the bar “The Happiest Hour” sent the following statement to The Unshackaled:\n“At the Happiest Hour we firmly support womens’ rights, marriage equality, gun control, the environment, and regard for the truth- we don’t discriminate. What’s gotten lost in this story is that the guest wasn’t kicked out because he was wearing a Trump hat- he was asked to leave after being verbally abusive to our staff, which is something we don’t tolerate regardless of who you are. And this is after he spent almost $200- the 20% tip he left would seem to indicate he was satisfied with the service he received.”\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/new-york-judge-rules-it-is-legal-to-refuse-service-to-trump-supporters/",

A neurological condition has left the child in a “semi-vegetative” condition, such that a Liverpool hospital has said further treatment would be futile. Alfie’s parents did what every good parent would do and began to look into other options for his care, but the British government has hindered their efforts, saying he must die with dignity, effectively sentencing him to death.\n\nAlfie’s parents have expressed interest in taking the child to Italy for further treatment, and appealed to the UK’s court, but were unsuccessful. The UK has said that they, not the parents, know what is best for the infant and will not allow them to get him potentially-life-saving treatment. This fight will continue, and we must support this family’s efforts to do what is right.

      "body": "A new survey showed that Australians are increasingly becoming concerned about the rise in immigration rates and population growth.\n\nAmong 1,026 respondents, 64% believe Australia’s immigration rate over the past decade has been too high. Meanwhile, 54% of respondents share the opinion that Australia’s population has been growing too fast.\n\nComparing results from the same survey taken five years ago, 50% of Australians back then thought immigration rates were rapid while 45% were concerned about rising population growth.\nThe survey results also revealed that Australians over the age of 45 were more concerned about immigration.\n\nA sizeable majority of respondents, 63%, agreed with the belief of former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott who proposed that immigration levels should be pushed back because Australia’s big cities won’t be able to accommodate more jobs as the population rate continues to grow.\n\nAbbott had been fiercely campaigning the last few months for the government to slow down the rate of immigration:![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPv8xurtYRnrDth2a37Mky5AvseZiEoRkc244ajGs984C/image.png)\n“We’re adding a city the size of Adelaide to our population every five years, and I think that we should significantly scale it back at least until infrastructure, housing stocks and integration have caught up, because just at the moment, there is no doubt that high levels of immigration, record levels, are putting downward pressure on wages, upward pressure on housing prices, and they’re making our roads almost impassable.”\n55% of respondents stated while they believe immigration does have a positive impact on the economy, it should still be slowed down because it causes too much social change.\n\nThe survey also asked participating Australians to identify the top three problems facing the country’s major cities. The list reflected the main points of Abbott’s campaign: lack of affordable housing, lack of government spending on infrastructure and lack of employment opportunities which lead to inter-state migration.\nImmigration has been the centre-point of politics. Current Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has been waffling on immigration. He and his treasurer, Scott Morrison, have taken the position that immigration is necessary because Australia needs more skilled workers in order to boost economic growth.\n\nThe latest survey taken by Newspoll showed that PM Turnbull registered his 30th consecutive negative approval rating.\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/survey-more-australians-concerned-about-immigration-and-population-growth/",

The grants program was introduced in 2016-17 and was allocated $4 million over four years. The stated aims of the program are to improve the organisational development of LGBT groups to Victoria and to foster the development of the next generation of LGBT community leaders.\n\nGroups that have benefited from these grants include the Human Rights Law Centre which received $40,000 in 2017-18, this is an organisation which spends a lot of its time demonizing the federal government’s policy of offshore processing of asylum seekers and complaining to the United Nations about our alleged human rights abuses.\n\nTransgender groups have also had a windfall from these programs with Transgender Victoria receiving $35,956 in 2017-18 and another transgender group Alphabet Soup received $60,201 in 2017-18. LGBT Sporting Organisations have also received special attention with the Pride Cup receiving $31,900 and Proud 2 Play receiving $19,949. There is also a whole suite of regional and ethnic LGBT groups which have received grants.\nEven LGBT lobby groups in the past have received government funds (which in turn lobby government for more laws/funds) including the Victorian Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby, Minus18 which helped develop the Safe Schools program and Living Positive Victoria which is described as an HIV organisation but whose main focus is on LGBT people. Gay pride festivals Midsumma and ChillOut which encompass sexualised content have also received grants.\n\nMost would not consider the existence of this grants program to be an essential function of government, in fact, many Victorians would not believe these are appropriate groups to fund at all. The Andrews’ Government over its time in government has also spent $15 million on an LGBT Pride Centre and $300,000 on a gay gaming app to fight homophobia.\nCertainly, if state governments cut funding to grants programs such as these, along with those of the arts and multicultural organisations, they might have a bit more money to build some desperately needed infrastructure. Grants programs such as these certainly deserve more scrutiny from the media and public.\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/andrews-governments-grants-to-lgbt-groups/",

The State of Emergency started in July 2016 when a failed coup attempt led to the deaths of 300 people.\n\nWith his emergency powers, Erdogan and his government can enact new laws without the need to pass these through parliamentary approval. The emergency powers will also allow Erdogan to suspend civil rights and freedoms.\n\nThe business sector of Turkey has criticized the decision of Parliament to extend Erdogan’s emergency powers. Erdogan responded by saying that instead of criticizing him and the government, the business sector should thank them for keeping the economy afloat and the country safe:\n\n“The State of Emergency only affects terrorists. Now it’s preventing labour strikes such as the Bursa strike which we stopped right away. It’s a struggle against terrorism.\n\n“When our business people say the State of Emergency should be lifted, it upsets us. We will continue to extend it for the peace of our country, yes we will, for the tenth time if necessary.”\nOne of the stern provisions of Erdogan’s emergency powers is that he could authorize the government to shut down strikes, protests and other methods of civil disobedience.\n\nThe United Nations has strongly criticized the extension of Erdogan’s emergency powers. According to the UN, there have been reports of “massive and serious” human rights violations in South Eastern Turkey which is predominantly a Kurdish community. Some of the reports indicate acts of torture and killings.\nTurkey has denied the reports and said the emergency powers are a necessary to maintain peace and order in the country.\n\nErdogan likewise declared snap elections for the presidency and the Parliament this June. Opposition parties did not like the decision as moving it one year earlier will not give them enough time to prepare.\n\nThe United States has also raised concerns over Turkey’s capability to hold honest and fair elections at a time of the emergency rule.\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/government/turkish-government-extends-emergency-rule-for-the-seventh-time/",

The government of Orban is working on legislation designed to restrict movement of Soros’ network in Hungary.\n\nHungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto issued a statement on behalf of the Orban government that read like a warning addressed to Soros, the Open Society Foundations and to the billionaire’s minions in Hungary:\n\n“No matter how many times George Soros goes to Brussels, no matter how many times the issue of illegal immigration is placed on the agenda, and no matter how many allies George Soros has in Brussels, we will not back down. Illegal immigrants will continue to not be allowed entry into Hungary in the future.”\nFor its part, the Open Society Foundation has raised concern on laws and regulations that may compromise the safety of its staff and their work in Budapest:\n\n“We are considering various options, as the security of our staff in Budapest and the integrity of our work is of paramount importance. The Open Society Foundations are closely watching developments around the draft legislation that would dramatically restrict the activities of civil society in Hungary.”\n\nOrban handily won the election largely on his anti-immigration stance and combative position versus globalist stalwarts such as Soros. Orban’s victory was proof of the rising wave of nationalism that has become prevalent in Hungary. Janos Halasz, spokesman for Orban, said the threat of Soros and his network must be prioritized and eliminated from the country:\nWorld leaders grappling with the western influence or the stranglehold of the globalist agenda should look up to Viktor Orban as the standard-bearer for the nationalist movement.\n\nSoros had pledged to transfer more money to the Open Society Foundations to fund the organization’s globalist agenda the world over.",

They included removing sexual orientation and gender identity from the Sex Discrimination Act, banning all Safe Schools resources and also allowing parents and others to use conversion therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction and gender dysphoria. The motions were quashed by State President Michael Kroger and Opposition Leader Matthew Guy which was a clear slap in the face to the conservative recruits in the party.\nThe Greens announced a new policy of legalizing recreation marijuana. It was resoundingly rejected by the major political parties and the mainstream media apart from the ABC. The fact that this policy proposal was so quickly shot down demonstrates there is not much public support for drug law reform in Australia, this is due to the fact Australian police take a measured approach to users as opposed to in the United States. There is also a controversy in Victoria over the Andrews’ Government’s proposed drug injected room, the Liberal Opposition has vowed to shut it down with Liberal MLC Bernie Finn even advocating for the death penalty for drug dealers.\nActing Prime Minister and new Nationals Leader Michael McCormack blabbed to the Daily Telegraph there would be lots of goodies and giveaways in the budget. This led to Treasurer Scott Morrison being dressed up as Santa Claus on their front page. Morrison then gave McCormack a blast over the phone and told the media he wasn’t Santa Claus. This led to the Telegraph the next day dressing Morrison up as Bad Santa. McCormack has clearly demonstrated he is out of his depth. Morrison is left with his budget strategy in ruins as he carefully tries to deliver what will be an election budget.\n\nThe Banking Royal Commission has uncovered grave levels of bank misconduct which include them giving clients the wrong advice, charging fees for advice not given and even charging the dead for advice. The corporate regulator ASIC was gamed as banks were able to easily mislead them and dodge investigations. Rogue Nationals MPs and Labor appear vindicated by their lobbying for a royal commission, Scott Morrison and the Government by trying to avoid calling one for so long now appear to have made a political misjudgment and are now talking tough on the banks.\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/waves/145/",

      "body": "![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRyna6iz3npMJ6gKCYao1KWCuSyLmqKcKdv5rugUpy2rP/image.png)\nA common talking point among leftist politicians and commentators is that harsh criminal penalties for controlled substances were crafted to incarcerate large numbers of racial minorities, thus separating them from the mainstream society. Former Socialist US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders parroted the view that strong drug policy was racially motivated during debates, and he was by no means the only one saying this.\n\n“Fusion,” a far-left outlet that releases easy-to-digest videos of the horrible atrocities of US culture and government, released a video saying that drug-free school zones were racist. For context, these drug-free school zones make it illegal for the consumption of any controlled substance, even decriminalized ones, to be consumed within a certain radius of a school on public or private property. Watch the video below:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/attn/videos/1636294026406050/?t=0\nThe issue here is that, wherever you stand on the effectiveness or necessity for stringent drug policy, to say that they are racist laws assumes an inherent predisposition on behalf of black and brown people to consume drugs, and that a crackdown on the consumption of rugs is a crackdown on minority communities at large. This, I believe, is the definition of a racist assertion.\n\nWe know by most statistics that, at least when it comes to soft drugs like marijuana, black, Latino, and white people seem to consume it in similar amounts, though arrests due to drug-related offenses are far higher among minorities. This is a nuanced issue with a lot of moving pieces, but essentially have more to do with policing, poverty, and crime than racial animus. However, in the eyes of leftists, the laws themselves are inherently racist.\n\nThis means leftists believe that people of colour are not capable of the intellectual or moral integrity to stay away from controlled substances, making them a vulnerable, incapable, drug-addicted group that can be put in jail cells by criminalizing an activity inherent to their nature. This is a despicable assertion to make, especially by a group who calls racism for even the most pedestrian incidents, and there should be no place for it in the political arena.\n\nEmilio Garcia\nDeputy Editor, The Unshackled\nHost of the Front and Center Podcast\nwww.frontandcenter.net.au\n@FrntAndCenter\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/leftists-say-drug-policy-is-racist-heres-why-that-assertion-is-racist/",

This is very good news for South Korea and the world – big progress! Look forward to our summit.”\n\n\n \nSouth Korea issued a statement applauding Kim’s decision:\n\n“It will create a very positive environment for the success of the upcoming inter-Korean and North-US summits.”\n\nKCNA reported that the decision was influenced by Kim’s belief that North Korea had reached its goal and that it was time for a change in direction:\n\n“The whole party and the whole party should now focus on the development of the socialist economy. This is the party’s new strategic policy line. A fresh climate of détente and peace is being created on the Korean peninsula and the region, and dramatic changes are being made in the international political landscape.”\n\nKim added that the people of North Korea should see the decision as a celebration of a “great victory”:\n\n“As the weaponization of nuclear weapons has been verified, it is not necessary for us to conduct any more nuclear tests or test launches of mid- and long- range missiles or ICBMs. The nuclear test site has completed its mission.”\n\n\n \nDespite the positive development regarding the possibility of North Korea’s denuclearization, Japan believes the news should be viewed with caution.\n\nItsunori Onodera, Defence Minister of Japan, noted that discussions of denuclearization must involve all types of weapons North Korea could still use to threaten its neighbors:\n\n“This is not the time for Japan, the United States, and the international community to ease pressure on North Korea.”\n\n\n \nKim’s announcement came one day after a live phone call between him and President Moon.\n\nIf the summit between the two Koreas is successful, it will pave the way for a historic meeting between Kim and President Trump sometime in May or June.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/north-korea-decides-to-stop-missile-tests-and-close-down-nuclear-test-site/",

The war hero — who has asked not to be identified, recently underwent a gruelling 14 hour operation at Johns Hopkins University in the American city of Baltimore. Having completed a successful recovery from the procedure, the man is now scheduled to be released from hospital later this week.\n\nSimilar procedures have also previously been successfully carried out in both America and also South Africa, however, these procedures involved only the transplantation of a new penis for the patient. Johns Hopkins University has now achieved a world first — successfully transplanting both a penis and also a scrotum in the one operation. Chairman of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine — Doctor Wei-Ping Andrew Lee, has told reporters that such transplants “can help those warriors with missing genitalia just as hand and arm transplants (have) transformed the lives of amputees”. The complex world first operation marks not just a massive achievement within the medical community, but also offers a renewed sense of hope to other victims who have suffered similar injuries to their genitalia.\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/us-war-veteran-receives-worlds-first-penis-and-scrotum-transplant/",

It was recorded live at St Mary’s Cathedral Sydney, Australia (3/3/18). The event aims to protect the Cathedral from any vandalism, and also makes a stand against the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras. Samraat is a devout Christian that holds strong conservative values. He is also a leading youthful voice of the CDP. This interview covered a whole range of issues: from the Stalwart Bastion event itself, to the indoctrination programs in our schools, the downfall of society in the last 50 years, and politics on a national and global scale.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/hXzlILkHdOQ\n\nhttp://www.theunshackled.net/fasts/pre-stalwart-bastion-2018-interview-with-samraat-grewal/",
