== Early life ==
Soros was born August 12, 1930, in Budapest, [[Hungary]]. His parents were Elizabeth and Tivadar Soros. Tivadar, who sometimes went by Teodoro Ŝvarc,<ref>[http://esperanto.net/literaturo/autor/svarc.html Teo Ŝvarc / Teodoro Schwartz / Tivadar Soros]</ref> was an active Esperantist. George Soros grew up learning Esperanto from his father.<ref>[https://m.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/hdinx/til_billionaire_george_soros_is_a_native_speaker/ Billionaire George Soros is a native speaker of the constructed language Esperanto]</ref><ref>[https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2007/10/the_religious_quest_of_george.html The Religious Quest of George Soros]</ref>

George Soros' birth name was György Schwartz, his family name was changed in 1936 from Schwartz to Soros to avoid [[antisemitism]]. The name "Soros" is itself derived from an esperanto word "''Sori''", which means "To Soar".<ref>[https://www.newsmax.com/FastFeatures/george-soros/2015/05/14/id/644564/ George Soros Facts: 7 Things You Might Not Know About Billionaire], [[NewsMax]]</ref> George Soros later said that he "grew up in a [[Jewish]], anti-semitic home," and that his parents were "uncomfortable with their religious roots."<ref>{{cite|author=Slater, R. |title="Soros: The Unauthorized Biography", page 30 |publisher=McGraw-Hill |date= 09-30-2007}}</ref> Soros is an [[Atheism|atheist]].<ref>[http://www.traditionalvalues.org/modules.php?sid=1852 Atheist George Soros Funds MoveOn.org Traditional Values Coalition, August 27, 2004]</ref>

In 1947, George Soros emigrated from Hungary to London, where an event occurred that greatly influenced the development of George's personality and worldview. After taking a temporary job as a railroad porter around Christmas time, he broke his leg and was cared for by the [[National Health Service]],<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=6W3_AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA4 The Philanthropy of George Soros: Building Open Societies]</ref> free of charge, while the Jewish relief agencies of that era did not offer him the help he believed they owed him. In that event was born Soros' favorable opinion of Democratic Socialism, and his negative view of many Jewish groups.

Soros' immediate family joined him in the West in the mid-Fifties.

In his autobiography, entitled ''Soros on Soros'', he described how as a teenager he helped to cart off the stolen possessions of Hungarian Jewish men, women and children after they were rounded up and transported to [[Concentration camp|death camps]]. He claims it never bothered him a bit, and still doesn't bother him today. He has no personal regrets about his actions. Soros, a reputed [[psychopath]],<ref>[https://www.americanthinker.com/2007/10/soros_the_guiltless.html Soros the Guiltless], [[American Thinker]]</ref><ref>http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/08042009/404/investment-greats-george-soros.html</ref><ref>[http://www.softcom.net/users/greebo/psychopath.htm Psychopathic Personalities]</ref> gave a self-serving interview to Steve Kroft of ''[[CBSNews]]'' ''60 Minutes'' in response to his version on events and actions,
<blockquote>

==Career==
During his years in London, Soros worked for his first job in finance at Singer & Friedlander, a merchant bank founded in 1907.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=v_-dfpjo3rcC&pg=PA17 Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World]</ref> In 1956 he moved to New York, working for the firm F. M. Mayer.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=tDpBFn5-AwwC&pg=PA288 Tea Party Factor]</ref> Soros became an American citizen on December 18, 1961.<ref name="movesmarkets">[https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/1993-08-22/the-man-who-moves-markets The Man Who Moves Markets]</ref>

[[File:Britishpound-crash-soros.jpg|right|400px|thumb| Chart showing the effects of Soros manipulating the British Pound in 1992.]]
In 1992, Soros earned the title, ''"the man who broke the Bank of England"'',<ref name="gurufocus.com"/> for shorting the [[British]] Pound. He made a $1 billion profit under the $10 billion deal.

===Personal Ambition===
George Soros said in a June 1993 interview with ''The Independent'' that he saw himself as “some kind of god, the creator of everything.”<ref>''The Billionaire Who Built on Chaos – George Soros'' (The Independent: June 3, 1993)</ref> Two years later, he portrayed himself as someone who shared numerous attributes with “God in the Old Testament” ― “[Y]ou know, like invisible. I was pretty invisible. Benevolent. I was pretty benevolent. All-seeing. I tried to be all-seeing.”<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,602163,00.html Glenn Beck: Making of the Puppet Master]</ref> Soros told his biographer Michael Kaufman that his “goal” was nothing less ambitious than “to become the conscience of the world” by using his charitable foundations.<ref>[https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4635465 George Soros Discusses Efforts to Spread Democracy], [[NPR]]</ref>

In his 1991 book ''Underwriting Democracy'', Soros said:
{{Cquote|If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood,” fantasies which “I wanted to indulge … to the extent that I could afford.”<ref>George Soros, ''Underwriting Democracy'', p. 3</ref>}}

Soros stated in his 1987 book ''The Alchemy of Finance'':
{{Cquote|I admit that I have always harbored an exaggerated view of self-importance―to put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes or, even better, a scientist like Einstein.<ref>George Soros, ''The Alchemy of Finance'' (1994 edition), p. 362</ref>}}

George Soros wrote in ''The Age of Fallibility: Consequences of the War on Terror'':
{{Cquote|The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.<ref name=sorosquotes>[https://www.theblaze.com/stories/in-his-own-words-an-examination-of-some-of-soros-socioeconomic-philosophies/ In His Own Words: An Examination of Some of Soros’ Socioeconomic Philosophies], [[The Blaze]]</ref>}}

Soros has been unapologetically critical of U.S. military interventions. In his book ''Open Society: Reforming Global Capitalism'', he spells out his criticism:
{{Cquote|It may be shocking to say, but I believe that the current unilateralist posture of the United States constitutes a serious threat to the peace and prosperity of the world.<ref name=sorosquotes/>}}

Soros believes that capitalism is the enemy of the open society and that the solution is to regulate markets that are not governed by capitalism. Referencing the state of the world following the collapse of the Soviet empire, Soros said:
{{Cquote|The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat.<ref name=sorosquotes/>}}

== Political Influence ==
Soros uses his billions of dollars to influence government politics. In 1989, Soros financed [[Vaclav Havel]]'s rise to power in the [[Czech Republic]]'s "Velvet Revolution". He has acknowledged having orchestrated coups in Croatia, Georgia, Slovakia, and Yugoslavia.<ref name="Discover" />

In late March 2002, Soros announced he was giving three million dollars to Budapest Open Access Initiative to set up open-archiving systems. Soros was accused of "foolishly spending millions <nowiki>[to]</nowiki> undermining libraries, librarians, authors and referees".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1885931.stm |title=Critics attack net journal initiative |accessdate=2007-10-04}}</ref>

Soros personally has made campaign contributions to [[Democrat]] political candidates; [[Barack Obama]], [[Hillary Clinton]], [[Charles Rangel]], [[Al Franken]], Tom Udall, Joe Sestak, [[Sherrod Brown]], [[Nancy Pelosi]], and [[Al Gore]].<ref name=aim>[http://www.aim.org/aim-column/soros-money-financed-communist-van-jones/ Soros Money Financed Communist Van Jones]</ref> Additionally, in 2007 and 2008 the groups ''Green For All'' and the ''Ella Baker Center'' were receiving money from Soros' main organization, the Open Society Institute. [[Van Jones]], a self-described Communist, was the leader of both these groups at the time.<ref name=aim />

=== 2004 U.S. presidential election ===
During the [[United States presidential election, 2004]], George Soros donated $23,581,000 to various [[liberal]] 527 Groups dedicated to defeating President [[George W. Bush]]. Soros contributed $3 million to the [[leftist]] [[propaganda|propagandist]] [[Center for American Progress]] and $5 million to [[radical leftist]] [[MoveOn.org]]. He was the founder of the [[Open Society Institute]].

George Soros has personally expressed a strong dislike of [[President Bush]].<ref name="soros2">{{cite web|url=https://www.nationalreview.com/comment/dsouza200410190831.asp |title=The World According to Soros |accessdate=2007-10-04}}</ref> In 2004 he stated defeating Bush was "the central focus of my life," and "a matter of life and death."<ref name="soros3">{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A24179-2003Nov10?language=printer|title=Soros's Deep Pockets vs. Bush |accessdate=2007-10-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A24179-2003Nov10?language=printer |title=Soros's Deep Pockets vs. Bush |accessdate=2007-09-30}}</ref> He also said "America, under Bush, is a danger to the world" and claimed "<nowiki>[Bush]</nowiki> is undermining American values". He says he "been demonized by the Bush campaign" and donated more than 15.5 million in a failed attempt to defeat Bush in 2004.<ref name="soros3"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0928-16.htm |title=Why We Must Not Re-elect President Bush |accessdate=2007-10-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5476317 |title=George Soros, Maintaining Political Interest |accessdate=2007-10-05}}</ref>

Soros likened Republicans generally, and the Bush administration, in particular, to "the Nazi and communist regimes" in the sense that they are "all engaged in the politics of fear." <ref name="Discover" />

=== 2008 U.S. presidential election ===
In the [[United States presidential election, 2008]], Soros' [[Shadow Party]] was again a major force in the movement that not only expanded the Democratic Party's congressional majorities but also delivered the presidency to Barack Obama.<ref>[http://canadafreepress.com/article/soros-its-not-easy-being-god Soros: It’s Not Easy Being God]</ref><ref>[http://humanevents.com/2010/09/09/the-obamasoros-connection/ The Obama-Soros Connection], [[Human Events]]</ref>

=== Obama and Soros Connection ===
In 2004, Soros held a [[Barack Obama]] fundraiser for his campaign in the U.S. Senate. Obama visited Soros office in New York, December 2006. January 2007, Obama started to campaign for the presidency. Within hours of announcing his candidacy, Soros had donated the maximum allowed by law to the Obama campaign.<ref name="Discover" /> Soros has visited the White House at least four times in 2009 and has influence with other frequent White House visitors. Soros and members of his family contributed a total of $60,000 directly to Obama.<ref>Christopher Drew and Mike McIntire, "[https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/03/us/politics/03obama.htm After 2000 Loss, Obama Built Donor Network From Roots Up]," ''[[The New York Times]]'', April 3, 2007</ref>

In August 2009, Obama announced he was giving $2 billion in U.S. tax dollars to state-owned oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA of [[Brazil]] for offshore oil drilling. At the same time, George Soros increased his stake $811 million in the same oil company. According to Bloomberg Press, 22% of the $3.68 billion of stocks and American depositary receipts of Petroleo Brasileiro are held by Soros Fund Management LLC.<ref>[http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/277955 Obama commits to off-shore drilling, Digital Journal, August 20, 2009]</ref>

In 2016, Soros and his organizations had very close access to the U.S. State Department and attempted to influence U.S. policy on migration and the situation in Ukraine.<ref>Solomon, John (August 7, 2019).

=== Socialist Agenda For America ===
Even though the free market has made Soros a multi-billionaire, he blames capitalism for the world's problems.

{{cquote| The entire edifice of global financial markets has been erected on the false premise that markets can be left to their own devices, we must find a new paradigm and rebuild from the ground up. I decided to sponsor INET to facilitate the process.}}

In a Der Spiegel interview in 2008, Soros advocates European-style socialism for America, "is exactly what we need now. I am against market fundamentalism. I think this propaganda that government involvement is always bad has been very successful -- but also very harmful to our society."

Soros's answer to America's problems involves more regulation and more government intervention in the marketplace. Soros pours billions of dollars into the following anti-USA causes;<ref>[http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=589 GUIDE TO THE GEORGE SOROS NETWORK, Discover The Networks]</ref>

*Promoting the view that America is institutionally an oppressive nation
*Promoting the election of leftist political candidates throughout the United States
*Opposing virtually all post-9/11 national security measures enacted by U.S. government, particularly the Patriot Act
*Depicting American military actions as unjust, unwarranted, and immoral
*Promoting open borders, mass immigration, and a watering down of current immigration laws
*Promoting a dramatic expansion of social welfare programs funded by ever-escalating taxes
*Promoting social welfare benefits and amnesty for illegal aliens
*Defending suspected anti-American terrorists and their abetters
*Financing the recruitment and training of future activist leaders of the political Left
*Advocating America's unilateral disarmament and/or a steep reduction in its military spending
*Opposing the death penalty in all circumstances
*Promoting socialized medicine in the United States
*Promoting the tenets of radical environmentalism, whose ultimate goal, as writer Michael Berliner has explained, is “not clean air and clean water, [but] rather ... the demolition of technological/industrial civilization”
*Bringing American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations
*Promoting racial and ethnic preferences in academia and the business world alike

Indirectly, Soros is one of the main funders of the socialist [[Green New Deal]].<ref>Klein, Aaron (February 19, 2019).

"For the seizure and administration of Jewish property, mainly, I think, of real estate, so-called Offices for Administration and Utilization were created." You created that, didn't you? A. This was created by an order of the Reich Commissioner for the Reunification of Austria and Germany, and not by me.

George Soros has donated millions of dollars towards organizations advocating the [[Illegal drug|legalization of drugs]] in the United States and has been called the "Daddy Warbucks of drug legalization" by Joseph Califano Jr. of Columbia University's National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.russbaker.com/The Nation - George Soro's Long Strange Trip.htm |title=George Soros's Long Strange Trip |accessdate=2007-10-04}}</ref> He calls the legalization a "harms reduction" and criminal activity associated with the use of drugs will supposedly be reduced if the US government takes over the trading of drugs and provides drugs and drug paraphernalia to addicts.<ref name="acc">{{cite web|url=http://www.aim.org/special_report/A2089_0_8_0_C/ |title=The Hidden Soros Agenda: Drugs, Money, the Media, and Political Power |accessdate=2007-10-04}}</ref> Soros has contributed to the passing of thirteen drug legalization laws in nine different states,<ref name="states">{{cite web|url=http://www.nationalfamilies.org/guide/gsoros.html |title=George Soros - Drug Legalization |accessdate=2007-10-04}}</ref> including the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes in California and Arizona.<ref>{{Cite news |first = Judith |last= Miller |title=With Big Money and Brash Ideas, A Billionaire Redefines Charity |url=http://www.druglibrary.org/olsen/dpf/soros.html |date=1996-12-17 |accessdate=2007-10-05}}</ref>

In 1998, Soros was a signatory of a letter addressed to the United Nations and Kofi Annan.

===Support for soft-on-crime candidates===
It was reported in 2018 that Soros donated millions of dollars into local district attorney campaigns across the U.S. in order to fund candidates opposed to the death penalty, favoring lenient punishment for crimes, and critical of law enforcement.<ref>Multiple references:

===Support for totalitarian governments===
In 2004, Soros stated that rather than countries such as China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran, "the main obstacle to a stable and just world is the United States."<ref name="DamningEnough"/> He also praised China's totalitarian government, claiming it is "better functioning...than the United States."<ref name="DamningEnough"/>

In 2018 Soros was named the ''Financial Times''' Person or Thing of the Year. He learned of the liberal "honor" while in Marakesh, attending the signing of the [[UN Migrant Treaty]] aimed at destroying all national borders and sovereignty. While celebrating his achievements, two female tourists, one from Denmark and one from Norway, were beheaded in Morocco by moderate rebels.<ref>https://gellerreport.com/2018/12/female-tourists-beheaded-2.html/</ref> Soros visited [[South Africa]] first, which had just implemented [[Nazi]]-style race-based seizure of property directed against its white minority.<ref>https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/africa/item/30878-your-time-is-up-white-people-south-africa-sets-date-for-white-farmers-land-grab-law </ref> Soros was in the forefront of the anti-[[Apartheid]] movement which brought the ruling [[Socialist]] regime to power.<ref>https://www.ft.com/soros</ref>

=== Support for the homosexual agenda ===
{{See also|Homosexual agenda}}
In the United States, Soros promoted the Gay Straight Alliance, which is responsible for the "toilet war" in [[North Carolina]]. In 2014, he donored about half-million dollars to ''Justice at Stake'', a homosexual organization that is committed to "the defence of [[diversity]]," a code word for [[Homo-fascism#LGBTI Bundling|LGBTI bundling]], in the courts.<ref>{{cite web |title=Einwanderung, Abtreibung, Homosex, Klimawandel – die ganze (linke) Agenda des George Soros |publisher=Katholisches, Magazin für Kirche und Kultur |url=http://www.katholisches.info/2016/08/einwanderung-abtreibung-homosex-klimawandel-die-ganze-linke-agenda-des-george-soros/ |quote=LGBT Ein nicht minder großes Betätigungsfeld von Open Society ist der Kampf gegen „Homophobie“, die als neue Form des „Rassismus“ bezeichnet wird. Auch in diesem Fall wurden im Vorfeld der Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament besonders intensiv Gelder an zahlreiche Homo-Organisationen ausgeschüttet. Die Aktion hieß LGBT Mob-Watch Europe 2014 mit dem Ziel, „die Stimme und die Forderungen der LGBT Community und ihrer Verbündeten für die Europawahlen zu mobilisieren und zu kanalisieren“. Dank der von DC Leaks enthüllten Dokumente wird es in Zukunft nicht mehr möglich sein, die Existenz einer Homo-Lobby zu leugnen. Zu den Nutznießern gehört selbstverständlich Ilga Europe, das Gelder für das Projekt European elections 2014 Cross-communities Mobilization Project for a Universal and Indivisible EU Equality Agenda erhielt. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf den USA, wo Soros die Gay Straight Alliance förderte, die für den „Toiletten-Krieg“ in Nord Carolina verantwortlich ist. Eine halbe Million Dollar flossen 2014 an Justice at Stake, eine Homo-Organisation, die sich für die „Verteidigung der Diversität“ bei Gerichten einsetzt. Denn, so heißt es in einem nun veröffentlichten Dokument, „eine größere Diversität in den Büros der Richter verbessert die Qualität der Justiz für alle Bürger“. Was damit gemeint sein dürfte, kann man anhand der homophilen Urteile verschiedener US-Gerichte erahnen. |language=German}}</ref> In [[Hungary]], Soros funds [[Central European University]] that teaches [[Gender ideology|Gender studies]] courses.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hungary to stop financing gender studies courses: PM aide |date=14 Aug 2018 |publisher=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hungary-government-education/hungary-to-stop-financing-gender-studies-courses-pm-aide-idUSKBN1KZ1M0 |accessdate=24 Oct 2018 |quote=Gender studies courses are taught at the state-run university ELTE and Central European University, which are among the top universities in Hungary. ...

=== Countries which have banned Soros ===
Because of his illegal insurrectionist activities, financial manipulations and funding and support of criminal activity in the numerous countries in which he has interests, Soros and his organizations have been officially banned from six of them under penalty of law. Those countries are the [[Philippines]], [[Russia]], [[Turkey]], [[Poland]], [[Pakistan]] and his native Hungary.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcDZqMgjYM0 George Soros Now BANNED From 6 Nations!!!] at Dr. Steve Turley YouTube channel</ref> Most recently, his organization has been cracked down on in [[Myanmar]].

Parler

2021-04-15T23:42:34Z

GeorgeIsBack: Wouldn't go as far as a "violation of human rights", but everything else is okay.

'''Parler''' is an [[American]] social networking service and alternative to [[Twitter]]. Its name is the [[French]] word for "to speak" (and is pronounced like "parlor"). It was founded in 2018 and based in Henderson, [[Nevada]] by John Matze and Jared Thomson.<ref>https://home.parler.com/about/</ref> The site is populated with a majority of right-leaning users, although all are welcome. Famous users include [[Candace Owens]], [[Laura Loomer]], [[Mike Lee]], [[Milo Yiannopoulos]], [[Paul Joseph Watson]] and [[Roger Stone]]. In June of 2020, Parler gained many users, and more celebrities including [[Ted Cruz]], [[Rand Paul]], [[Dan Bongino]], Eric Trump, and [[Donald Trump Jr.]] Parler currently has around 1,000,000 users.

Parler, like fellow social networking service [[Gab]], does not engage in censorship against other opinions. Because of this, Parler has been unfairly attacked by the anti-free speech [[Mainstream Media]] and [[Wikipedia]] as "far-right" and "anti-[[Islam]]", despite having over 200,000 [[Arabic]] users currently online.<ref>https://www.thedailybeast.com/about-200000-saudi-arabian-users-suddenly-flood-parler-a-pro-trump-twitter-alternative</ref> Unfortunately, to sign up for a Parler account, a mobile phone number is needed when registering, which effectively blocks those who do not have cell phones from obtaining an account.

[[Hate speech]] is not a bannable offense on Parler according to its company's CEO, John Matze.<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/5/parler-ceo-says-up-and-coming-social-media-service/</ref>

== Parler Ban From Amazon, Apple and Google ==
Recently in a [[leftwing]] [[fascist]] assault on [[free speech]] and the [[First Amendment]], Parler was banned by [[Apple, Inc.]], [[Google]] and [[Amazon.com]].<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2021/01/11/amazon-google-and-apple-are-enemies-of-the-first-amendment/</ref>

== Change of leadership ==
On 29 January 2021, John Matze, the first CEO of Parler, lost his position at the company. Allegations have surfaced that the organization of former [[President]] [[Donald J. Trump]] received an offer from Parler of a 40 percent stake in the company, in return for Trump opening a verified account with Parler. John Matze opposed this, fearing that Trump would take the company over by the force of his personality.<ref name=Buzzfeed>https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/trump-parler-ownership</ref>

Shortly after his leavetaking, Matze released a personal statement saying the company's Board did not agree with him on a vision for a platform dedicated to freedom of speech and "more product stability." Dan Bongino, who owns a twenty-percent stake, hotly disputed Matze's claims and version of events. Bongino has not, thus far, responded directly to the specific allegation that an attempt by the Trump organization to obtain a 40 percent stake occasioned the rupture between Matze and the board.

Rebekah Mercer, daughter of financier Robert Mercer, in fact holds the controlling vote. Dan Bongino holds twenty percent of the company. A third owner, to whom Dan Bongino refers without naming, holds the remaining stake, however large it might be.

== Parler returns ==
On 15 February 2021, on or about midnight EST, Parler returned to full functionality.<ref>https://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2021/02/15/news/parler-returns/</ref> The CEO of SkySilk, Parler's new cloud hosting provider, said "SkySilk does not advocate nor condone hate, rather, it advocates the right to private judgement and rejects the role of being the judge, jury and executioner."<ref>https://www.capacitymedia.com/articles/3827737/parler-spurns-aws-partnering-skysilk-for-cloud-comeback</ref>

Mark Meckler now holds the post of Interim CEO, while Parler searches for a permanent CEO.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9262721/Parler-announces-relaunch-Mark-Meckler-interim-CEO.html</ref>

DINO

2021-04-15T22:49:01Z

GeorgeIsBack:

A '''DINO''', or '''Democrat in Name Only''', refers to one of the more conservative members (fiscally and/or socially) of the [[Democratic Party]], including the [[Blue Dog Democrats]]. It is the analogous term to [[RINO]] (Republican in Name Only), referring to a more liberal member of the [[Republican Party]]. These people are rejected by both parties, even by liberal standards. Some commentators use the term "DINOSAUR" ("Democrat in Name Only, Sorry a** Undercover Republican").

==Former DINOs who have since left the Democratic Party==

* [[Condoleezza Rice]] ([[Alabama]]), 66th [[United States Secretary of State]] (2005-2009).
* [[Rudy Giuliani]] ([[New York]]), 107th [[Mayor of New York City]] (1994-2001).

Pornography

2021-04-15T22:46:36Z

GeorgeIsBack:

{{etymology|[[Greek]] πορνή (''porné'') a prostitute and γράΦω (''grapho'') I write}}[[Image:Pornography.jpg|200px|right]]
'''Pornography''' is the explicit representation of the human body or sexual activity used for the intent of stimulation. As an [[addiction]] it depends on patterns, comparable to addictions to [[gambling]] and televised [[football]]. These [[addiction]]s can be overcome by taking an interest in healthy patterns: geometric games such as online [[chess]] (which millions play regularly), military history, visuals as found in [[architecture]] or the outdoors, and more challenging intellectual activity such as [[mathematical]] [[topology]].

Pornography usually consists of images depicting the satisfaction of the sort of "unnatural lust" which leads to damnation. ({{Bible ref|book=Jude|chap=1|verses=6-7}}) It destroys the mind as [[gambling]] does and, even worse, '''pornography''' leads to terrible crimes against women and children.<ref>https://www.un.org/rights/dpi1772e.htm</ref><ref>http://www.forerunner.com/forerunner/X0388_Effects_of_Pornograp.html</ref> Pornography has also been shown to cause erectile dysfunction, even in young men. <ref>https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/erectile-dysfunction-question</ref> The Greek word πορνεία (''porneía'') appears several times in the [[New Testament]] as a sin that, unless repented of, will prevent one from entering heaven; however, such a word in Ancient Greek mostly referred to [[sexual immorality|illicit sexual relationships]] (such as adultery and incest), prostitution, and also, in a broader sense, idolatry.

* When Christ said "any man who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart," He made it clear that chastity—and unchastity—does not begin with what we do, but rather in what we think. Therefore, deliberately seeking such stimulation outside a committed marriage, even via the imagination, constitutes a sin against [[chastity]].<ref>[http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/sexuality/se0051.html Banishing Unchaste Thoughts]</ref>

Christ makes clear in the above passage that there is no such thing as "safe, healthy use of pornography." Any viewing of pornography is neither safe nor healthy. There is no such thing as "manageable viewing of pornography" or viewing of pornography that is "normal development." Rather, the viewing of pornography is a sinful act that dishonors God and transgresses His Word.

Pornographic images have been proliferating at a remarkable rate. What was a $5 million-a-year enterprise merely 25 years ago has boomed to a $7 billion to $10 billion-a-year industry today... the fastest growing sectors of the industry are pornographic DVDs, cable television, and phone sex. Pornography is no longer confined to the seedier sections of town. With the advent of the Internet, it has become readily available to all, including children, and in the dark, sick seclusion of one's own home.<ref>[http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=759 Censorship or Education?]</ref>

==Human psychology==
Dr. [[Jerry Bergman (scientist)|Jerry Bergman]] (Ph.D.) wrote:

:Pornography distorts the natural development of personality. If the early stimulus is pornographic photographs, the [[adolescent]] can be [[conditioning|conditioned]] to become aroused through photographs. Once this pairing is rewarded a number of times, it is likely to become permanent. The result to the individual is that it becomes difficult for the person to seek out relations with appropriate persons. Furthermore, pornography teaches people to look upon others as nothing more than sex objects, therefore, possibly inducting thoughts of committing rape.<ref>Jerry Bergman, Ph.D., The Influence of Pornography on Sexual Development: Three Case Histories, IX ''Family Therapy'' 3, 1982, pg. 265.</ref>

Furthermore, research has revealed that married couples who watch pornography have a substantially higher divorce rate then married couples who do not indulge in pornography.<ref>[http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/08/divorce-rates-double-when-people-start-watching-porn Divorce rates double when people start watching porn]</ref>

==Illusion and addiction==

Pornography provides the illusion of intimacy,<ref>[http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-f016.html (Christian Answers)]</ref> but this is a [[satan]]ic trap (see [[sexual addiction]]).

*Pornography consumption is not something that can easily be stopped. Once the appetite for it has developed, it actually increases. In his 1988 study ''Pornography Effects: Empirical and Clinical Evidence'', [[Victor Cline]], then with the [[University of Utah]]'s Department of Psychology noted that studies show pornography is progressive and addictive for many. It often leads to the user acting out his fantasy.
*The Internet is the "crack cocaine" of sexual addiction.<ref>[http://www.soundvision.com/Info/life/porn/pornfacts.asp]</ref>

"People often act in accordance with the images and patterns they find around them,"<ref>At the crux of this issue is whether written pornography might have a causal effect in eroticizing criminal activities. One case that dealt with this issue indirectly is American Booksellers Association v. Hudnut, ... the court conceded that it saw some evidence of a causal relationship between pornography and anti-social behaviors.... People often act in accordance with the images and patterns they find around them. . . . Depictions of subordination tend to perpetuate subordination." 771 F.2d at 328-29.</ref> so looking at pornography is a dangerous practice; although being around a loving Christian family for most of the day, and instead acting in accordance with those images and patterns seems to negate this.

Pornography says that happiness is found by having the same experience over and over again with lots of different women; true ''eros'' says that happiness is found by having different experiences over and over again with the same person.<ref>[http://nopornnorthampton.org/2007/05/02/schwyzer-on-porn-pursuit-of-novelty-is-enemy-of-relationship.aspx]</ref>

==Departure from the norm==
Viewing or reading pornography day in and day out has a negative effect. It desensitizes a person, makes him more withdrawn, and makes him view others (of the opposite sex) like objects rather than the people they are.
Although some people have argued that "erotica" is okay, in the history of erotic literature it is rare to find any depiction of normal marital relations.

Cary Tennis wrote:
:And naturally whether you approve of porn in theory or not, its effect will be to displace you. Like crack, it tends to take over, to push out other hungers that tend to nurture the human community by making us dependent on one another. Since we are dependent on each other we must be civil and loving. If we are not dependent on each other then we needn't be civil and loving. We needn't have community and family.<ref>[https://www.salon.com/mwt/col/tenn/2007/04/11/porn/ (Salon magazine)]</ref>

There is debate whether it is truly moral to be 'civil and loving' purely because it is necessary, as Cary Tennis seems to say here. Other Christians argue that to be 'civil and loving' purely because we are dependent on others is actually immoral and manipulative. These Christians argue that to be self-contained, independent and yet still warm and loving is a greater virtue.

Debbie Nathan wrote:
:Porn is everywhere today, everyone is looking, and the media responds with little more than gloom-and-doom talk about evils like Internet sex addiction, or rah-rah promotion of Brazilian waxing and Jenna Jameson’s fame and fortune. Meanwhile, few know the real history of this explosive media, or the truth about its business practices, working conditions, politics and actual effects on people.

==Neuroplasticity and Pornography==
Neuroplasticity is an emerging field of neuroscience which explains how certain states of mind or thought routines can physically alter the structure of the brain, even after adulthood, when the brain is purportedly thought to be done with development. The negative effects of pornography in relation to the phenomenon of neuroplasticity is often brought up in anti-pornographic studies. However, various pseudoscientific theories have emerged, claiming that pornography can actually be used to help heal the brain and stabilize the body much in the same way as Tai Chi, Yoga, or Transcendent Meditation. Propaganda websites like Intimate Medicine have been at the forefront of perpetuating this deadly myth, as pronounced meditation on pornographic material enslaves the mind to lust and can affect work ethic. The effect of pornography on the reward centers of the brain is well documented and correlates with this evidence.

==Liberalism and pornography==
A study by Oxford found that 94% of [[Liberal|liberals]] distribute pornography regularly. Only 4% of conservatives distribute pornography regularly, although it can be assumed that most if not all were simply [[RINO]]'s.

==Legal aspects==
:''See also: [[Arguments Against Pornography]]''
Due to a series of [[liberal]] decisions beginning with the [[Warren Court]], pornography is aggressively sold and distributed in the United States without meaningful law enforcement. It is a $7–10 billion industry that affects and harms 40 million Americans. Pornography destroys relationships and exploits young people.<ref>''National Catholic Register'' p. 8 (Apr. 22, 2007).</ref><ref>http://internet-filter-review.toptenreviews.com/internet-pornography-statistics.html</ref> The [[ACLU]] has also opposed any limits on the availability of pornographic content, as well as the [[Child Online Protection Act]], which would have placed restrictions on how accessible pornography would be to minors on the internet.

== Deadly industry ==
Similar to [[Hollywood values]], the pornographic industry is rife with destructive [[liberal]] values that prove dangerous and even deadly. A great number of pornographic movie "stars" have died untimely deaths due to drug use, alcoholism and [[sexually transmitted disease]]. Below is a list of such cases. Note that most names below are stage names (with their real names included where available), that such public [[Prostitution|prostitutes]] adopt out of shame and acknowledgment of their depraved choices. In that same vein, suicide is very common among pornographic "actors."<ref>http://www.rame.net/faq/deadporn/</ref>

President of the United States of America

2021-04-15T22:38:16Z

GeorgeIsBack:

[[Image:Presidential seal 506x508.gif|thumbnail|right|The [[United States]] Presidential Seal]]
The '''President of the United States''' is the head of the [[United States of America|U.S.]] [[Executive Branch]]. As the [[head of state]] of the [[United States of America]], the president is one of the most powerful people in the [[world]]. The writers of the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]] recognized that they were writing a job description which, in [[England]], was and is filled by the office of the [[prime minister]] and position of the [[Monarchy|monarch]]. According to the [[Founding Fathers]] of the USA, at that time, the monarchy of England did not appear to serve the common man and the Founding Fathers wanted a [[government]] that did.

==Current president==
[[Joseph Biden]] was installed on January 20, 2021. His legitimate predecessor was [[Donald J. Trump]]. Biden's election is disputed due to credible evidence of [[Democrat election fraud|extensive voter fraud]].<ref>[https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/be36dc6d-0df4-4c20-addf-fca72be46150/The%20Navarro%20Report%20Volume%20III%20Final%201.13.21-0001.pdf Navarro Report, Volume 3]</ref>

==Election==
The president is elected every four years by the American people, although not through a popular vote but rather through the [[Electoral College]]. This process makes the presidency one of the few elected officials in the [[United States of America]] chosen indirectly. The Founding Fathers implemented this procedure to ensure the relevance of smaller states in the voting process.

==Term limits==
Prior to [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], presidents voluntarily limited themselves to two terms as an homage to [[George Washington]]. After Franklin D. Roosevelt served a little over twelve years in office, [[Congress]] passed the 22nd [[Constitutional Amendment]] restricting future presidents to two terms.

However, if the vice president succeeds to the presidency with no more than two years left in the prior president's term, he is allowed to run for two full terms, raising the potential time in office to ten years.

The first president to whom term limits applied was [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]].

1 There is doubt as to the legitimacy and legality of Obama's claim to the Presidency due to his refusal to disclose his legitimate birth records (the fraudulent "birth certificate" he released notwithstanding, later complicated by his own admission that he originally came from [[Kenya]]<ref>[https://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2018/08/03/constitution/barack-hussein-obama-foreign-born/ Barack Hussein Obama: Con Man & Criminal Admits He is Foreign-Born] at Conservative News and Views</ref><ref>[https://thewashingtonstandard.com/obama-rubs-americas-nose-in-it-from-kenya-im-the-first-american-president-from-kenya/ Obama Rubs America’s Nose In It From Kenya: “I’m The First Sitting American President To Come From Kenya”] at the Washington Standard (Contains minutes from the Kenyan Parliament recorded March 25, 2010 where Obama's true origins are revealed)</ref>) and his history prior to his announcing his plan to run for President as a Democrat candidate in 2007. He has determined to keep his records sealed because revelation of such would reveal that, under [[United States Constitution:Article II|Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution]] (which prohibits those who are not natural-born United States citizens from eligibility for the office of President), he was not only not eligible to hold the office but was ineligible to even run for the Presidency, thereby making both his Presidential run and his subsequent assumption of the office illegal under the Constitution. As such, Obama's ineligibility to run for or hold the office of President would mean that the United States of America did not have a legitimate executive from January 20, 2009 (the day that Obama assumed the office<ref>[https://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2016/05/01/accountability/executive/barack-obama-stole-america/ Barack Obama Stole America] at Conservative News and Views</ref>) until January 20, 2017 (the day President [[Donald Trump]] was sworn in to possibly become the first legitimate President since George W. Bush).
 
2 Due to massive amounts of voter fraud committed by the Democrats and their operatives in the [[United States Presidential Election, 2020|2020 election]], Biden is not considered by many as a legitimate "president".

Ocasio-Cortez had four ethics complaints filed against her in the first six weeks after taking office. The [[Gallup Poll]] gives her a net 10 point negative favorability rating which may be impossible to ever overcome. With the 2020 Census, New York is likely to lose one seat due to the outflow of population from an inhospitable tax environment; Ocasio-Cortez is on the chopping block of the Democratically controlled legislature.<ref>https://theintercept.com/2019/02/09/ocasio-cortez-district-redistricting-2020/</ref>

==Background==
Ocasio-Cortez is a [[cultural Marxist]] reared to believe the [[dialectical materialism|dialectical materialist]] view that [[capitalism]] is a transitory phase to socialism in which the planet will be ruled by an enlightened elite of [[anti-democratic]] [[technocrat]]s, should it survive a climate crisis. She believes the Marxist notion that capitalism is an [[ideology]], and not a simple paradigm of fundamental [[economic]] laws. A descendant of [[white]] [[Europe]]ans during the [[Conquistador|Spanish Conquest (''La Conquista'')]] of the [[Western Hemisphere]] who imposed [[colonialism|colonial]] rule and [[cultural hegemony]] over [[Native American]]s and trafficked in the [[Africa]]n slave trade, Ocasio-Cortez now thinks she is an oppressed woman of color.

===Education===
Ocasio-Cortez, who is said to hold degrees in economics and international relations ''cum laude'' from Boston University, is fond of quoting the "the famous economist, Milton Keynes."<ref>https://twitter.com/andurudottext/status/1226270913240256512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw</ref>

AOC found her first encounter with a garbage disposal baffling.<ref>https://www.tmz.com/2019/05/07/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-garbage-disposal-apartment-scared-blown-away-funny/</ref>

===Rich kid===
Although Ocasio-Cortez pretends to speak for and come from [[poverty]], she grew up in the [[white privilege]]d suburb of Westchester County with a median household income of $83,000 and net worth of $1.2 million – one of the highest in the country. Westchester County is the home of the [[Clinton]] and [[Rockefeller]] estates.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5905247/amp/Girl-Bronx-Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez-actually-grew-wealthy-Westchester-County.html</ref>

Ocasio-Cortez founded Brook Avenue Press in 2012 which never published any books.<ref>https://youtu.be/-pFAayEMqDM</ref> The state Taxation Department dissolved the company in 2016 and issued a warrant for thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes.<ref>https://nypost.com/2019/03/09/company-founded-by-ocasio-cortez-in-2012-still-owes-1870-in-taxes/</ref>

In 2018 Ocasio-Cortez's mother fled New York for [[Florida]] because of high [[tax]]es. She told reporters: {{quotebox|"I was paying $10,000 a year in real estate taxes up north.

After her election to Congress, Ocasio-Cortez moved into a luxury apartment that does not offer affordable housing – despite the fact that affordable housing was an important part of her campaign platform.<ref>Goodman, Alana (February 19, 2019).

====Why the worst get on top====
[[File:Instructions to japanese.png|right|200px|thumb|FDR interned American citizens in mass incarceration camps based on their racial origin.]]
Economist [[F.A. Hayek]] explained the rise of figures such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a chapter of the ''[[The Road to Serfdom]]'':
{{quotebox|If a numerous group is needed, strong enough to impose their views on the values of life on all the rest, it will never be those with highly differentiated and developed tastes it will be those who form the "mass" in the derogatory sense of the term, the least original and independent, who will be able to put the weight of their numbers behind their particular ideals. ... he[/she] will be able to obtain the support of all the docile and gullible, who have no strong convictions of their own but are prepared to accept a ready-made system of values if it is only drummed into their ears sufficiently loudly and frequently. It will be those whose vague and imperfectly formed ideas are easily swayed and whose passions and emotions are readily aroused who will thus swell the ranks of the [[single party control|totalitarian party]]. It is in connection with the deliberate effort of the skillful [[demagogue]] to weld together a closely coherent and homogeneous body of supporters that the third and perhaps most important negative element of selection enters. It seems to be almost a law of human nature that it is easier for people to agree on a negative programme, on the hatred of an enemy, on the [[envy]] of those better off, than on any positive task. The contrast between the "we" and the "they", the common fight against those outside the group, seems to be an essential ingredient in any creed which will solidly knit together a group for common action. It is consequently always employed by those who seek, not merely support of a policy, but the unreserved allegiance of huge masses. From their point of view it has the great advantage of leaving them greater freedom of action than almost any positive programme. The enemy, whether he be internal like the "[[Jew]]" or the "[[Kulak]]", or external, seems to be an indispensable requisite in the armoury of a totalitarian leader. That in Germany it was the Jew who became the enemy till his place was taken by the "[[Plutocracy|plutocracies]]" was no less a result of the anti-capitalist resentment on which the whole movement was based than the selection of the Kulak in [[Russia]]. In [[Germany]] and [[Austria]] the Jew had come to be regarded as the representative of [[capitalism]] because a traditional dislike of large classes of the population for commercial pursuits had left these more readily accessible to a group that was practically excluded from the more highly esteemed occupations.<ref>https://fee.org/resources/the-road-to-serfdom-chapter-10-why-the-worst-get-on-top/</ref>}}
AOC wants to turn the Democratic party into "the party of [[FDR]]," who threw [[Japan]]ese-American [[citizen]]s, born in America, guilty of nothing, into concentration camps and opposed the Republican Anti-[[lynching]] law.<ref>https://dcdirtylaundry.com/what-is-she-smokin-aoc-wants-to-bring-the-dems-back-to-fdr-days-complete-with-internment-camps/</ref> A ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' op-ed noted that Ocasio-Cortez
{{quotebox|leads a generation of young people to take pride in their ignorance—of the laws of nature, of history, of the Constitution, of the eternal battle for freedom—and still succeed.}}
Like many other leftwing cultists who glorify the accomplishments of New Dealers in the 1940s, few realize the boys who [[Normandy Invasion|stormed the beaches at Normandy]] to defend democracy and defeat fascism were virtually all [[heterosexual]] white men - whom liberals demonize today - as the U.S. Armed Services were segregated by race and blacks denied frontline combat roles until 1947, and [[homosexual]]s were banned until 1993.

During the communist induced [[coronavirus]] [[pandemic]] while America was on lockdown Ocasio-Cortez uploaded to [[Instagram]] a video demonstrating how to mix a Margarita alcoholic drink while lecturing her followers about how the federal government needs to do more. Video transcript:

===2018 election===
Ocasio-Cortez defeated [[incumbent]] Democrat Joe Crowley in the 2018 nominating [[primary]] for [[New York]]'s 14th congressional district carrying 56% of the vote with a 12% turnout. Primary victory is tantamount to general election victory in this district, meaning less than 17,000 people voted for her in district of over 700,000 inhabitants, yet the media proclaimed her as representative of a generation.<ref>https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/07/19/opinions/democrats-need-reform-new-york-primary-weaver/index.html</ref> Rep.

Crowley had been the leading contender to succeed [[Nancy Pelosi]] as Speaker.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2018/07/30/soros-uygur-ocasio-cortez/</ref> Having defeated Pelosi's successor, the Democrats had no one to succeed Pelosi and Pelosi stayed on for another term.

===Ethics violations and abuse of power===
Before taking office, Ocasio-Cortez was embroiled in allegations of violating House Ethics Rules and federal law. Ocasio-Cortez threatened a private citizen and political opponent with [[subpoena]]s and investigation. The House Rules Manual states, {{quotebox|“Members…are not to take or withhold any official action on the basis of the campaign contributions or support of the involved individuals, or their partisan affiliation. Members and staff are likewise prohibited from threatening punitive action on the basis of such considerations.”<ref>[https://ethics.house.gov/sites/ethics.house.gov/files/documents/2008_House_Ethics_Manual.pdf Page 150]</ref>}} What's more, Ocasio-Cortez may have violated 42 [[U.S. Code]] § 1983 – Civil action for deprivation of rights: {{quotebox|"Every person who, under color of any [[statute]], ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the [[District of Columbia]], subjects, or causes to be subjected, any [[citizen]] of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the [[Constitution]] and [[law]]s, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia." (R.S. § 1979; Pub.

Ocasio-Cortez made protecting the working class and the poor her top priority. A week after being sworn in ("inaugurated" in her words), it was reported that her campaign had been fined for failure to pay state-mandated workers compensation coverage for campaign workers. She paid a $1500 fine, which of course was less than the cost of complying with the law.<ref>https://www.syracuse.com/politics/2019/01/ny-fines-ocasio-cortezs-campaign-for-failing-to-carry-workers-comp-coverage.html Even though a fine can equal the cost of back payments, it does not include interest and penalties or the labor cost of accounting and legal fees to insure compliance.</ref>

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics over Ocasio-Cortez' use of taxpayer dollars to raise campaign funds.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/03/06/aoc-twitter-violations/</ref>

====Justice Democrats====
[[File:The face of socialism.jpg|right|300px|thumb|AOC: The Face of Socialism.<ref>https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/this-is-the-face-of-socialism-elizabeth-hengs-new-pac-ad-targets-ocasio-cortez/</ref>]]
Ocasio-Cortez and her [[chief of staff]] Saikat Chakrabarti obtained majority control of [[Justice Democrats|Justice Democrats PAC]] in December 2017. Justice Democrats PAC raised more than $1.8 million before her June 2018 primary. Ocasio-Cortez never reported to the [[Federal Election Commission]] that she and Chakrabarti, who served as her campaign chair, controlled the PAC while it paid money to her 2018 campaign committee.

Justice Democrats stated on its website from December 2017 until late February 2019 that Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti held “legal control” of Justice Democrats PAC,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20171225015602/https://www.justicedemocrats.com/about</ref> and the two still serve on the three-member board of Justice Democrats.

Ocasio-Cortez's campaign and Justice Democrats raised a combined $4.6 million during the [[2018 midterm election]] cycle,

[[Armenian genocide|Armenian holocaust]] denier [[Cenk Uygur]] was forced from the board of Justice Democrats for what Chakrabarti called “extremely disturbing [[sexist]] and [[racist]] statements" in December 2017,<ref>https://twitter.com/justicedems/status/944356205476106240/photo/1</ref><ref>https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/justice-democrats-ousts-cenk-uygur_us_5a3eb4d1e4b025f99e178181</ref> followed by Kyle Kulinski of the ''Young Turks'' who quit the same month. Justice Democrats then reported that Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti were “governors” of the organization in a document submitted to the Washington, D.C., Department of Consumer & Regulatory Affairs on March 28, 2018. A third listed governor was the PAC's treasurer, Nasim Thompson.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Justice-Democrats-two-year-report-March-28-2018.jpg</ref>

====Brand New Congress====
A [[Federal Election Commission]] complaint was filed alleging money laundering campaign donations to her boyfriend. Early on, her website was a redirect page for the group [[Brand New Congress]], archives in the [[Wayback Machine]] show.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170828110100/https://ocasio2018.com/ Brand New Congress home page via ocasio2018 .com]</ref>

Brand New Congress paid Ocasio-Cortez's live-in boyfriend money in excess of campaign contribution limits.<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/44095/ocasio-cortez-hit-fec-complaint-alleging-she-ryan-saavedra</ref> Ocasio-Cortez had her boyfriend on her Congressional payroll staff after she took office. She later denied he was staff, but nonetheless had granted unfettered access to her office IT system to unauthorized persons.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-faces-questions-after-her-boyfriend-gets-congressional-email-account</ref>

Ocasio-Cortez' boyfriend, Riley Roberts, worked in home improvements and has no record or knowledge of working on a campaign. As Ocasio-Cortez' live-in boyfriend, the circular flow of cash from donors to Brand New Congress PAC, to Brand New Congress LLC, to Riley Roberts - a cohabitator with Ocasio-Cortez - appears to be a conversion of campaign finances for personal use and gain.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/trending/ocasio-cortez-boyfriend-troubles-reveal-the-corruption-at-the-heart-of-her-campaign/</ref> She appears to have emolumated herself with progressive donor's cash.

====Fundraising====
Ocasio-Cortez is a case study in what is wrong with campaign finance laws. Cortez sits in a safe district, meaning she was virtually elected in the primary. The [[liberal media]] turned her into a fundraising magnet - for money she didn't need in a district she ran in virtually unopposed.

Campaign "war chests," as they are called, are not to be used for the candidate's personal enrichment. Some candidates raise more money than they need, others have difficulty attracting donations even in their own districts, let alone from outside [[lobbyist]]s in [[Washington]]. Under existing regulations, candidates and members are free to donate to each other. Congresspeople become laundry machines for disguised donors. Instead of a member taking bribes from outside interests, they are "owned" by a fellow member, where any pretense of equality between the people's elected representatives is a charade. At 29 years old, Ocasio-Cortez was already barnstorming across the country raising nearly $900,000 and helping other Democrats get elected,<ref>https://m.newstimes.com/news/article/Democratic-socialists-are-conquering-the-left-13146775.php</ref> for which they are indebted to her, before she was even elected.<ref>https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/16/justice-democrats-primary-challenges-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-1106911</ref>

A Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of FEC records found only 10 people who live in her district were recorded making donations to her reelection campaign in 2019.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/13/ocasio-cortez-district-fec/</ref>

====Saikat Chakrabarti====
[[Saikat Chakrabarti]] is Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff and managed her 2018 campaign. Chakrabarti regularly can be seen posing in a T-shirt emblazoned with the image of a [[Nazi]] collaborator from [[India]] who fought with the Germans against [[colonialism]] in the [[British Empire]].

Chakrabarti and Ocasio-Cortez held majority control of Justice Democrats up to February 2019. Justice Democrats appears to be a [[money-laundering]] operation for illegal campaign donations.

Additionally, Chakrabarti has been accused of funneling $1 million to two companies he controlled in a complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center with the FEC. According to the Brand New Congress website, the PAC would build a "unified campaign" infrastructure including fundraising, organizing, rallies, and advertising progressive congressional candidates across the country could "plug into," saving the individual campaigns time and money.

In 2016 and 2017, Chakrabarti's PACs raised about $3.3 million for the project, primarily from small donors. During this time, the committees transferred over $1 million to two shell companies controlled by Chakrabarti with names similar to one of the PACs, Brand New Campaign LLC and Brand New Congress LLC, according to federal election filings.

A few weeks after starting the Brand New Congress PAC, Chakrabarti formed one of the companies, Brand New Campaign LLC, in Delaware, using a registered agent service and mailbox-only address.

Over the next seven months, as small-dollar political donations poured into the PAC from progressives across the country, the committee transferred over $200,000, 82 percent of the contributions, to the company Brand New Campaign LLC. The payments were for "strategic consulting," according to federal election filings. They were sent to an apartment address listed for Chakrabarti in the Greenwich Village area of Manhattan.

In 2017, Brand New Congress PAC transferred another $240,000 to Brand New Congress LLC, also for "strategic consulting." Another PAC co-founded by Chakrabarti that year, Justice Democrats, transferred an additional $605,000 to Brand New Congress LLC in 2017.

Brand New Congress LLC does not appear to be registered in any state, according to state government records available online.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/ocasio-cortezs-chief-of-staff-ran-1m-slush-fund-by-diverting-campaign-cash-to-his-own-companies</ref>

Chakrabarti's ideas are basically to replicate a European-style party system in America, eliminate [[grassroots]] politics, and dole out cash from a central authority to candidates who meet an ideological litmus test - pro-[[infanticide]], [[2nd Amendment]] repeal, a communist single-payer healthcare system, [[transgenderism]], print money for a guaranteed income, [[inflation]], eliminate factory farming and promote [[veganism]], etc.

Chakrabarti accused fellow Democrats and moderates of being racists, tweeting "They certainly seem hell-bent to do to black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did in the 40s.”<ref>https://twitter.com/mattdizwhitlock/status/1144387728831909889</ref>

Two weeks after former Obama Chief of Staff and Chicago Mayor [[Rahm Emanuel]] referred to Chakrabarti as "a snot nosed punk" for posting on Twitter racist comments about Rep.[[Sharice Davids]], the first [[Native American]] woman elected to Congress, Chakrabarti resigned under a cloud of federal investigations.<ref>https://lauraloomer.us/2019/08/04/ocasio-cortezs-chief-of-staff-faces-federal-investigation-amid-sudden-resignation/</ref> AOC's press staff announced he resigned to work with the [[fascist]] organization [[New Consensus]].<ref>https://theintercept.com/2019/08/02/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-saikat-chakrabarti-corbin-trent/</ref>

====Living wage rule====
Ocasio-Cortez capped her office salaries at $80,000 which disguises her chief of staff and senior employees outside income and protects them from complying public transparency laws that require disclosure of all sources of income, gifts, and stock trading activity. Called a “living wage” rule, she pays staff members a minimum of $52,000 a year ($1000 per week) and a maximum of $80,000 a year ($1500 per week).

Under federal law, congressional employees who earn more than $126,000 a year — which includes most chiefs of staff — must submit public financial disclosure forms that detail outside income they earn, stock investments, debt, and gifts or paid trips that they are given by outside sources.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/aoc-living-wage-rules-allow-her-staff-to-dodge-financial-disclosure-laws</ref>

====[[Dark money]] scam====
While [[Bernie Sanders]] was still competing in the Democratic primaries during the Spring of 2016, Brand New Congress was set up to continue the nationwide fundraising effort from small donors beyond the 2016 election. The stated goal was to collect money at a central collection point, recruit candidates nationwide who adhere to a socialist/communist litmus test and provide the resources necessary to conduct congressional campaigns. The recruits would concentrate on miming Marxist talking points and be relieved of the all legal, financial, promotional, and public relations details that grassroots candidates traditionally had to master.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvGtVu8gmtg</ref>

These small money donations collected by the non-profit Brand New Congress organization, and later Justice Democrats, were then paid to private for-profit Limited Liability Companies owned by Saikat Chakrabarti as "strategic consulting fees." Being private entities, Chakrabarti's private companies are not subject to reporting requirements to the FEC on how the money is spent. In one such incident, Ocasio-Cortez's live-in boyfriend was paid and later given a staff position in her Congressional office.

The districts targeted were held by incumbent Democrats who lacked the [[cultural Marxist]] ideological purity Democratic Socialists demand. The main goal of Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress is an extremist and [[far left]] take over of the Democratic party.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h5iv6sECGU</ref>

Upon election, Ocasio-Cortez began [[panhandling]] the public claiming that she did not have enough cash to meet personal living expenses.<ref>https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/1940870002</ref> Two months later, the Democrat leadership assigned her to the Financial Services Committee.

Before being "inaugurated" (her words) Ocasio-Cortez tweeted "Next time we have a gov shutdown, Congressional salaries should be furloughed as well. It’s completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown on [[partisan]] lines & then have Congressional salaries exempt from that decision." After being sworn in during a shutdown, Ocasio-Cortez gleefully collected her paycheck.

Ocasio-Cortez raised $1.8 million in a district where she received 78% of the vote, meaning she has plenty of cash to dole out to other Democrat House members to buy their support, loyalty, and favors.<ref>https://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary?cycle=2018&id=NY14</ref> Her Republican opponent spent $1935 on the election.

After her outrageous demagoguery over [[concentration camp]]s and support for antisemitism, Ocasio-Cortez then claimed illegal migrants were forced to drink toilet water to drum up more personal attention. Ironically, Ocasio-Cortez voted against a Democrat-sponsored bill that would have provided humanitarian relief for the border crisis which Democrats claimed was manufactured, then threw a fit when the Senate rejected the bill she herself voted against.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/06/28/ocasio-cortez-senate-mcconnell-house-border-bill-tapper/</ref>

Ocasio-Cortez took part in the Dump Pelosi Movement and led protests into Pelosi's Capitol Hill office where 150 people were arrested. In exchange for her vote for Pelosi as Speaker, Pelosi threw the progressives a bone by promising the establishment of a new select committee on a [[Green New Deal]], a plan to radically transform the economy.

At the very moment [[California]] was consumed by the worst wildfires in history, Ocasio-Cortez led a mob of [[tree hugger]]s in a takeover of Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Capitol Hill office.

The wildfires killed scores of people and left tens of thousands homeless. The fires were fueled by bad forestry management and a failure to remove dead trees.

Given all existing facts and circumstances, that is the only way the "richest country in the world" could afford to provide free healthcare, tuition, and housing for all Americans.

====On the issues====
:{{See also|Race baiting}}
Ocasio-Cortez is a staunch proponent of unlimited [[public debt]] and [[bankrupt]]ing the public treasury. Her advocacy of [[Medicare for All]], free college tuition and housing would cost $42 Trillion, more than two times America's total output by labor, or [[GDP]], experts say.<ref>https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/the-big-idea/2018/8/7/17658574/democratic-socialism-cost-medicare-college-sanders-deficits-taxes</ref> Her solution to cover the lack of resources to fulfill her program is for the Federal Reserve Board to print more currency. She has proposed a universal [[basic income]] (UBI) for those, in her words, "unwilling to work."

The [[United States]] has the world's largest economic output at $19 Trillion with 6% of the [[planet]]'s population producing 25% of the planet's total economic output by labor. In an interview with Chris Cuomo of [[CNN]], Ocasio-Cortez gave no indication of understanding or proposals on how to increase total U.S. GDP by over 200%. Neither did she address the doubling rate of increased [[Greenhouse gas|carbon emission]]s necessary to produce the $42 Trillion to fulfill any of her proposals. She has proposed increasing the tax rate for high-earning Americans to 70%, a rate that is even higher than in modern socialist countries.<ref>Morabito, Angela (January 9, 2019).

Ocasio-Cortez, who hails from a state with 8th highest ''per capita'' income in the United States, wants to disenfranchise voters of the other 42 states with less income by abolishing the [[electoral college]].

====Apocalyptic premonitions====

<center><big>{{days until|2029|12|31}} Days Until Final Destruction of the Planet'''</big></center>
Ocasio-Cortez is an Apostle of cataclysmic destruction of the [[planet]] in the year 2030. The impending doom is necessitated, she claims, by [[climate change]]. To fight climate change, Ocasio-Cortez has proposed [[illegal immigration]] and [[Medicare for All]], which would necessitate a doubling of [[greenhouse gases|carbon emission]]s to produce the economic output to meet the price tag. Ocasio-Cortez has yet to reconcile why Medicare for All would be necessary for a planet with only twelve years left to live, or that a near doubling of GDP output and carbon emissions to pay for Medicare for All would likely shorten the time remaining for the survival of planet [[Earth]].
[[File:AOC-Dunleavy.PNG|right|300px|thumb|AOC says the purpose of the Green New Deal is to end civilization as we know it.]]
Another conundrum facing Ocasio-Cortez was surviving on a waitress's salary until her $174,000 a year Congressional salary kicked in. The situation was compounded by a government shutdown when no government workers were paid. Ocasio-Cortez told an interviewer during the shutdown, "[[Millennial]]s and [[Gen Z]] and all these folks that come after us are looking up, and we're like, 'The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change, and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?' This is our [[World War II]]."<ref>https://nypost.com/2019/01/27/what-science-could-teach-ocastio-cortez-about-climate-change/</ref>

Ocasio-Cortez prophesied the imminent destruction of the city of [[Miami]], [[Florida]], saying “When it comes to climate change, what is not realistic is not responding … with a solution on the scale of the crisis—because what’s not realistic is Miami not existing in a few years. That’s not realistic. So we need to be realistic about the problem.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/09/13/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-miami-wont-exist/</ref>

In July 2019 the [[BBC]] reduced the time left to save the planet to 18 months,<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-48964736</ref> or roughly Inauguration Day 2021.

====Racism====
Ocasio-Cortez, who is of European [[Spanish]] descent, thinks the Spanish descendants of [[Christopher Columbus]] (the ''[[Conquistadors]]''), are "colonized people". Ocasio-Cortez really believes, what in Spanish is known are ''La Conquista'', or ''The Conquest of North and South America'', that she and her ancestral European "conquerors" are "victims of colonization" and that European Spanish descendants, such as herself, are "indigenous peoples".<ref>https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1182692870010093569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw</ref>

Actually, Ocasio-Cortez is a Spanish racist who abhors "Angelos". In Spanish, the term "Angelo", which means "English", is a label given to [[German]]s, [[Slav]]s, and all other Nordic and Slavic European groups. The term ''Angelo'' applies racial animosity and collective guilt on all Northern Europeans for the loss of the glory days of the Spanish Empire by the British Navy.<ref>See: [[Spanish Armada]] and [[Elizabethan Age]].</ref>

In truth of fact, Ocasio-Cortez's European ancestors were [[slave]] traders of Africans who conquered and colonized indigenous peoples of the Americas; [[Puerto Rico]] is a Spanish European colony, and its inhabitants, black or white, are not "indigenous peoples". The implication that Puerto Rico has been "colonized" by Angelo-speaking citizens of the United States is not only false, it is a an unmitigated racist sentiment and statement.

====Authoritarianism====
Ocasio-Cortez responded to critics of her totalitarian Green New Deal agenda: {{Quotebox|"So people are like, 'Oh it's unrealistic. Oh it's vague. Oh it doesn't address this little minute thing.' And I'm like, 'You try. You do it. Cuz you're not. Cuz you're not. So, until you do it, I'm the boss.' How about that?' If you don’t like the #GreenNewDeal, then come up with your own ambitious, on-scale proposal to address the global climate crisis. Until then, we’re in charge - and you’re just shouting from the cheap seats."<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/aoc-to-critics-of-green-new-deal-im-the-boss-until-you-try</ref><ref>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2019/02/24/ocasio-cortez-tried-to-hit-back-at-her-critics-with-this-i-am-the-boss-moment-n2542116</ref>}}

====WikiLeaks====
Ocasio-Cortez has come to the defense of gender-confused former Army soldier [[Chelsea Manning]]. Manning had been sentenced to 35 years in prison for disclosures to [[WikiLeaks]]. WikiLeaks, according to [[Robert Mueller]], [[James Comey]] and [[John Brennan]], is a "front for [[Russia]]n intelligence" which seeks to destroy American democracy. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted {{Quotebox| "Chelsea Manning has been trapped in solitary confinement for refusing to answer questions before a grand jury. Solitary confinement is torture. Chelsea is being tortured for whistleblowing, she should be released on bail, and we should ban extended solitary in the U.S.”}} Manning had spent a few weeks in solitary confinement. Ocasio-Cortez called for ending the barbarous treatment of [[Paul Manafort]], a 68-year-old man who was never accused of colluding with Wikileaks by the [[Mueller Team]] and saw his health deteriorate under the inhumane conditions.<ref>https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/05/ocasio-cortez-solitary-confinement-paul-manafort-1353641</ref>

====2020 primary election====
The [[Communist]] mainstream media, which claims a person's private life is nobody's business in the cases of [[Bill Clinton]] and Democrat donor [[Jeffrey Epstein]], published this garbage about her Democrat primary challenger:
{{quotebox|Michelle Caruso-Cabrera holds the title of Chief International Correspondent at [[CNBC]] television. She started appearing regularly on Power Lunch in 2009 in an analyst capacity, as a part of CNBC's extensive market coverage. Before that, she co-hosted the World Exchange program alongside Christine Tan in Asia and Ross Westgate in Europe. She also worked as a reporter for WTSP-TV in St. Petersburg, Florida.
She won an [[Emmy Award]] for a five-part series on children with [[AIDS]]. She also received a Broadcaster of the Year (2004) award from the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. She was married in 1999 and later divorced. She again became engaged in 2015....

Michelle personal life and her career are totally opposite looking towards her bio. There is not any stability of her relationship and married life looking towards her bio and she has not been found successful in her married life. In the college days as well her affair and boyfriends did not have any healthy relationship with her.

This also made her sad and heartbroken. Similarly, after divorce from her husband Paulo Lima she was some sadder and irritated with the issues regarding the matter of relationship. They were married after having a long-term of affair this spouse right after their marriage with regular fights and disputes led them to get a divorce.

Currently, she is living a single life and the rumor about her present boyfriend and their lists and always denied by herself. She mentioned that she is no more interested in the relationship and makes her feel sad all the time.<ref>[https://articlebio.com/michelle-caruso-cabrera Google translation from Spanish]</ref>}}
This personal attack on a well qualified Democratic opponent and graduate of Wellesley College by [[mainstream media]] allies of Ocasio-Cortez must be considered underhanded and [[sexist]], at a minimum.

====Refusal to compromise====
When Republican Senator [[Ted Cruz]] attempted to compromise with the Democrats by agreeing with Ocasio-Cortez on a recent populist uprising by small business investors, Ocasio-Cortez reacted badly to Cruz, falsely accusing him of "attempted murder" because of his challenge of [[Democrat election fraud]] and demanding that he resign his Senate seat, then following that with falsely accusing him of being responsible for the recent suicide of a [[Capitol Police]] officer in the wake of the [[2021 Capitol riot]].<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/wow-ted-cruz-reaches-hand-across-aisle-agree-ocasio-cortez-populist-investor-uprising-aoc-bites-off-head-accuses-attempted-murder-tells-resign/ WOW!

====Congressional failure====
Ocasio-Cortez was recently ranked as one of the least effective Democrat lawmakers in Congress in a report by the Center for Effective Lawmaking, which rated her 230th out of 240 House Democrats as well as last among the 19 Democrat lawmakers from New York.<ref>[https://www.oann.com/rep-ocasio-cortez-ranked-one-of-the-least-effective-dem-lawmakers/ Rep.

The folks on the ground attached a list and included medical supplies, plywood for shields, anything else useful for shielding from the cops. Private cars were later requested. The tweet read,
{{quotebox|"Another big need: if you have a car, some folks may need a quick ride out of the area."}}
The Minneapolis Police 3rd precinct building was evacuated and burnt down that evening. The Twin Cities DSA Ecosocialists Working Group tweeted to comrades,
{{quotebox|"Support the ongoing mass [[working-class]] uprising!"}}
On May 28, 2020 the DSA National Political Committee issued a statement in support of the rioters:
{{quotebox|"We the National Political Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America condemn the public execution of [[George Floyd]] at the hands of the Minneapolis Police. His murder falls into the deeply entrenched pattern of violence, anti-Blackness, and oppression upheld by policing in this country.... This is [[white supremacy]]...

In the [[116th Congress]], the [[Committees of Correspondence for Democratic Socialism]], Democratic Socialists of America, [[Liberation Road]] (formerly Freedom Road Socialist Organization), and Communist Party of the United States formally created a united front of the nation's four largest Communist organizations to take over the [[Democratic Party]].<ref>https://m.theepochtimes.com/how-57000-socialists-and-communists-plan-to-take-over-the-democratic-party_2654589.html</ref> As of 2018 the umbrella group is known as the [[Left Inside/Outside Project]] (“One foot in the institutions, one foot in the streets.”<ref>https://dsabuild.org/r9-establishing-a-national-antifascist-and-direct-action-working-group</ref>) consisted of 57,000 [[community organizer]]s.<ref>https://organizingupgrade.com/the-left-we-want/</ref> At its August 2019 convention the DSA passed a resolution to form a

Law enforcement authorities found evidence of pre-planning. The ''Minneapolis Star/Tribune'' reported:
{{quotebox|state officials said several caches of flammable materials were found both in neighborhoods where there have already been fires and “in cars we’ve stopped as recently as this morning,” said John Harrington, state public safety commissioner. Some of the caches look like they may have been planted days ago and some only in the last 24 hours or so, he said.

Police are also finding stolen vehicles with plates removed that are being used to transport the flammable materials. Looted goods and weapons also have been found in the stolen cars, he said.<ref>https://www.startribune.com/police-arrest-150-driver-who-barreled-into-crowd-held/570908442/?refresh=true</ref>}}
The [[Sunrise Movement]], with established groups in several major cities, has heavily recruited activists from the DSA and Liberation Road affiliated groups, such as the Pennsylvania Student Power Network. Sunrise founding activists are all current trainers with Momentum Community, which is a training workshop funded by millionaires and billionaires to “incubate” supposed "[[grassroots]]" organizations such as Sunrise and the Movimiento Cosecha (Harvest Movement). Democrat millionaire donor and former [[2020 presidential election]] candidate [[Tom Steyer]]'s [[NextGen America]] is also tied to the Sunrise Movement, and according to the ''New York Times'', the two groups “strategize” together.<ref>https://archive.fo/ytfYT</ref>

The DSA itself as of 2020 has 66,000 members nationwide and locals in almost every state. Other communist groups such as Communist Party USA, Liberation Road, [[Socialist Alternative]], Workers World Party, Party for Socialism and Liberation, [[Socialist Unity Party]], and Revolutionary Communist Party and their allies in Black Lives Matter and [[Antifa]] can mobilize tens of thousands of militants and organizing cadre at short notice.

:{{See also|Marxism|Global warming}}
The [[junk science]] behind the [[Green New Deal]] was embraced by virtually all [[2020 presidential election|2020 Democratic presidential candidates]]. For example, that Medicare for All, a guaranteed income and minimum wage increase, unionization, killing all cows and destroying the airline and automotive industries would save the planet from final destruction before the year 2030.

Ocasio-Cortez was not named by Speaker Pelosi to her brainchild, the [[House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis]], which was negotiated in exchange for Ocasio-Cortez not voting against Pelosi for Speaker. The new committee is responsible for creating a plan with draft legislation by January 1, 2020. Its scope and mandate makes clear its vision: {{quotebox|"The select committee shall have authority to develop a detailed national, industrial, economic mobilization plan for the transition of the United States economy to become greenhouse gas emissions neutral and to significantly draw down greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and oceans and to promote economic and [[environmental justice]] and equality."}} The Green New Deal advances non-environmental projects, such as, {{quotebox|"social, economic, [[racial]], regional and gender-based justice."<ref>https://news.grabien.com/story-ocasio-cortezs-green-new-deal-radical-mandate-government-con</ref>}}

Ocasio-Cortez's claims it will eliminate [[poverty]]: {{quotebox|"The Plan for a Green New Deal (and the draft legislation) shall recognize that a national, industrial, economic mobilization of this scope and scale is a historic opportunity to virtually eliminate poverty in the [[United States]] and to make prosperity, wealth and economic security available to everyone participating in the transformation."}}

The Green New Deal was introduced as H.Res.109 on February 7, 2019, by Ocasio-Cortez,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190208215631/https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5729035/Green-New-Deal-FAQ.pdf</ref> leading many to believe she is really a Republican plant seeking to discredit the [[progressive movement]]. The bill says nothing about wildfire management and National Parks maintenance.

Separately, Ocasio-Cortez has claimed that an effective climate plan would have to cost at least $10 trillion.<ref>Elis, Niv (June 5, 2019).

====If you like lockdown, you'll love the Green New Deal====
:{{See also|CCP global pandemic}}
In an editorial published by the ''Washington Examiner'' entitled "If you like the pandemic lockdown, you're going to love the 'Green New Deal'", the editors wrote:
{{quotebox|When socialist darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez first floated her “Green New Deal,” it was an intangible vision for [[society]] rather than a concrete policy proposal. Even after the New York Democrat and her acolytes added details (including a ban on airplanes and flatulent cows) in a voluminous range of policies costing an astounding $93 trillion, the idea of running the economy without fossil fuels seemed unthinkable.

Now, however, thanks to the [[pandemic]] lockdown of society, the public is in a position to judge what the “Green New Deal” revolution would look like. It's like redoing this global pandemic and economic slump every year.

Environmental activists say the silver lining of the lockdown is that carbon emissions will drop by nearly 6% globally this year because of reduced travel and industrial emissions. Climate hawks such as Ocasio-Cortez call for this level of reduction every year. The United Nations Environment Programme goes even further, demanding 7.6% each year to stave off climate change.

“This is what ‘rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society’ looks like,” prominent climate activist Eric Holthaus wrote on Twitter. “We're doing it. It's possible!”

“That's the whole point of a Green New Deal,” he continued. “We can build a better world for everyone out of the ashes of the old one.”

Ocasio-Cortez, incorrectly pointing to falling oil prices as a boon to green energy, agrees that the coronavirus shutdown reflects her vision of a climate change solution.

This is intellectually unimpressive, but at least it's honest. The socialist greens acknowledge that the meltdown and shutdown we're enduring (with gritted teeth) is what their climate agenda entails. They're right.

A whopping 26 million people have filed for unemployment benefits in the past five weeks. The economy is in free fall. People are miserable. Domestic abuse and [[mental health]] indicators are getting worse. But hey, at least we're almost getting the carbon reductions the green extremists say we need.

Obviously, Ocasio-Cortez and other green dreamers don't want people dead or depressed, but these are the implications of their carbon-free agenda. It entails suffering that gets worse as time goes by. Voters who weren't instantly repelled by the plan's fiscal obscenity and rejection of [[freedom]] are now getting a taste of what the militant socialist agenda would actually mean.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/if-you-like-the-pandemic-lockdown-youre-going-to-love-the-green-new-deal</ref>}}

====De-industrialization====

Ocasio-Cortez's plan calls for, within 10 years a
{{Quotebox|
*national, energy-efficient, smart grid;
*Upgrading every residential and industrial building for state-of-the-art energy efficiency, comfort and safety;
*Eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing, agricultural and other industries as well as from America’s transportation and infrastructure network, the sort of legislation that provoked the [[Yellow Vest movement]];
*Funding "massive investment" in reducing existing greenhouse gasses.}}

The new committee will have total oversight of American industry, with a mandate for pushing union membership. Under “Scope of the Plan,” a section on labor states the committee's final plan shall: {{quotebox|"Require strong enforcement of labor, workplace safety, and wage standards that recognize the rights of workers to organize and unionize free of coercion, intimidation, and harassment, and creation of meaningful, quality, career employment."}}

====Free money====
:{{See also|Nanny state|Welfare state}}
The plan calls for "economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work." [[Abraham Lincoln]] defined [[slavery]] in this way: “You work; I’ll eat.” In his Chicago speech of July 10, 1858, Lincoln put it slightly differently, “You toil and I will enjoy the fruits of it.”

The plan calls for creating a national jobs force to help people participate in this "transition." The Green New Deal shall {{quotebox|"provide all members of our society, across all regions and all communities, the opportunity, training and education to be a full and equal participant in the transition, including through a job guarantee program to assure a living wage job to every person who wants one."}}

====War on Cow Flatulence====
:{{Main article|Peoples Temple Agricultural Project}}
The Green New Deal seeks to turn all Americans in [[vegan]]s.<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/should-plant-based-meat-replace-beef-completely Should plant-based meat replace beef completely?], Paul Solman, [[PBS]] News Hour, Dec 21, 2017.</ref> {{quotebox|"We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of f*rting cows and airplanes that fast,<ref>[http://jonathanturley.org/2008/05/14/epa-issues-fart-chart-bovine-flatulence-measured-state-by-state/ EPA Issues “Fart Chart”: Bovine Flatulence Measured State-by-State], 1 May 2014, by jonathanturley</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpa8Oz9DRbY Cow farts blow up barn].</ref> but we think we can ramp up renewable manufacturing and power production, retrofit every building in America, build the smart grid, overhaul transportation and agriculture, plant lots of trees and restore our ecosystem to get to net-zero.}}
The dirty little secret about the [[global warming hoax]] is that it's not [[Dick Cheney]], [[Halliburton]] and [[capitalism]] destroying the planet with carbon emissions, but rather American's beef-eating habits and reliance on dairy products. As population grows, dairy cow and slaughter beef herds get bigger. One cow gives off more methane gas daily than an automobile at a [[McDonald's]] drive thru.<ref>https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/should-plant-based-meat-replace-beef-completely</ref> Ocasio-Cortez wants to do away with factory farms in favor of a [[collective]].

A [[vegan]] couple from [[Florida]] who were weaning their four young children off of [[beef]] on a strict diet of raw [[vegetable]]s and [[fruit]] were charged with [[manslaughter]] and child neglect charges for allegedly starving their 18-month-old son to death. At 18-months-old their son was the weight of an average 7-month-old.<ref>https://www.news-press.com/story/news/crime/2019/11/12/malnourished-toddler-weighed-17-lbs-time-death-family-vegan-sheila-oleary-ryan-oleary-cape-coral/2577087001/</ref>

====Reparations====
[[File:Medicare for All.png|right|250px|thumb|The chart brings into perspective the comparative cost of Medicare for All.]]
:{{See also|Nanny state|Welfare state}}
Ocasio-Cortez sees this plan as being a vehicle through which social equality might finally be realized through the use of [[reparations]] to right historical injustices. The final Green New Deal will {{quotebox|"mitigate deeply entrenched racial, regional and gender-based inequalities in income and wealth (including, without limitation, ensuring that federal and other investment will be equitably distributed to historically impoverished, low income, deindustrialized or other marginalized communities in such a way that builds wealth and ownership at the community level)."}}

The plan includes universal income and Medicare for All: The plan, it says, shall {{quotebox|"include additional measures such as [[basic income]] programs, universal health care programs and any others as the select committee may deem appropriate to promote economic security, labor market flexibility and entrepreneurism."}}

The plan also imagines creating governmental support for "transitioning" minority communities. The deal shall: {{quotebox|"ensure a 'just transition' for all workers, low-income communities, communities of color, indigenous communities, rural and urban communities and the front-line communities most affected by climate change, pollution and other environmental harm including by ensuring that local implementation of the transition is led from the community level."}}

====Eliminate cars====
The plan calls for :
{{quotebox|"Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high-speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle}} while at the same time : {{quotebox|"A Green New Deal ... would not include creating new nuclear plants. It’s unclear if we will be able to decommission every nuclear plant within 10 years, but the plan is to transition off of nuclear and all fossil fuels as soon as possible,"}} essentially "build charging stations everywhere" without a power source while looking to decommission existing power sources.
The Congressional Research Service says automobile electrification will disrupt the automotive parts supply chain,.<ref>https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/IF11101.pdf</ref>
The proposal doesn't spell out if "massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing" supports President Trump's trade war with oversees automobile manufacturers, or if the jobs will go to [[China]] to achieve the Democrats' plan to create "a job for anyone who wants one."

====Corporate greed====
Green New Deal advocates claimed their first victory by killing [[Amazon.com|Amazon]]'s plan to bring its main headquarters to New York and create 25,000 jobs with wages averaging $150,000. Elizabeth Warren and Ocasio-Cortez took credit for killing the deal. Rep. [[Carolyn Maloney]] of New York, who supports the Green New Deal, was livid with her fellow [[communist]]s.<ref>https://youtu.be/nnVS-Zah54k</ref>

[[CNN]] reported the fight over Amazon is the fight for the future of the [[Democratic Party]].<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/14/politics/amazon-aoc-democrats-future/index.html</ref> Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: {{quotebox|"Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon's corporate [[greed]], its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world."}}
Amazon was promised up to $1.5 billion in tax abatements in exchange for the promise of creating 25,000 jobs averaging $150,000 per year. Ocasio-Cortez believes a tax abatement is a bucket of cash the government can spend on subways or teachers.

====Ignores Paygo provision====
[[File:010318venezuela.jpg|right|300px|thumb|'''Venezualans eating garbage.''' Venezuela, a once prosperous country with oil surpluses, adopted free healthcare as a "right" in 1999.]]
The Green New Deal would be paid for by the [[Federal Reserve]] printing more money which Ocasio-Cortez claims is "[[morality|morally right]]". {{Quotebox|"The Federal Reserve can extend credit to power these projects and investments, new public banks can be created (as in [[WWII]]) to extend credit and a combination of various taxation tools (including taxes on carbon and other emissions and progressive wealth taxes) can be employed."}}
This proposal violates the House [[Paygo]] provision, which mandates all new spending proposals must carry with them cuts in programs for existing constituencies, or proposals for tax increases to offset added spending. Ocasio-Cortez's Medicare for All proposal, which Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi both claim to support, adds spending more than two times America's Gross Domestic Product,<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-30/study-medicare-for-all-bill-estimated-at-32-6-trillion</ref> making the Medicare for All provision a fantasy, Ocasio-Cortez a simpleton, and Pelosi and Sanders bald face liars to stupid people. Paygo is Pelosi's own rule that she herself formulated as [[Speaker of the House]]. Pelosi later tried to back away from the lip service she paid to portions of the Green New Deal to get elected Speaker, "The green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it, right?’"

Former Federal Reserve chairman [[Alan Greenspan]], who nurtured two of the longest economic recoveries in American history, thinks Ocasio-Cortez's plan for a 70% tax rate is a "terrible idea."<ref>https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/07/alan-greenspan-thinks-the-ocasio-cortez-70percent-tax-plan-is-a-terrible-idea.html</ref>

====Committee subpoena power====
Select committees typically have [[subpoena]] power. Members could presumably wield subpoenas to investigate oil and gas companies. No sooner than the vote for Speaker was taken, Pelosi's flunky [[Steny Hoyer]] moved to strip the new select committee's subpoena power. Hoyer has accepted more than a quarter of a million dollars from the fossil fuel industry.

====Environmentalist reaction====

[[Patrick Moore]], co-founder of [[Greenpeace]], said of Ocasio-Cortez and the plan: {{Quotebox|Pompous little twit. You don’t have a plan to grow food for 8 billion people without fossil fuels, or get the [[food]] into the cities. Horses?

As we speak, large, organized caravans are on the march to the United States. We have just heard that Mexican cities, in order to remove the illegal immigrants from their communities, are getting trucks and buses to bring them up to our country in areas where there is little border protection. I have ordered another 3,750 troops to our southern border to prepare for this tremendous onslaught. This is a [[moral]] issue.

*AOC's habit of failing to engage her brain prior to opening her mouth extends to a difficultly with English language [[idiom]]s. Ocasio-Cortez sarcastically attacked Republicans when she said, "it is impossible to pull oneself up by their bootstraps." A "bootstrap" refers to mounting a horse without assistance. Prior to the invention of metal stirrups, "bootstraps" were made of leather, hence the name "bootstrap". Mounting a horse unassisted is problematic, requiring both shoulder and leg strength, which is how the phrase, "pull yourself up by the bootsraps" came into usage centuries ago. There is an added risk of the horse moving or running away while the rider is in mid-air attempting to mount. Receiving assistance to mount a horse is referred to as "a leg up". The assistant can "extend a hand" while holding the horse's bridle with the other hand to prevent the horse from moving. In the late 20th century the "bootstrap" idiom was shortened to "boot" and borrowed by computer engineers to describe the process of a computer operating system starting on its own after a manual input command, without a "jump start" from another computer, which is now commonly known as "booting" or "boot up."

'''Ruth Bader Ginsburg''' (March 15, 1933 – September 18, 2020)<ref name="Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at 87">[https://www.foxnews.com/us/ruth-bader-ginsburg-dies-at-87 Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at 87]</ref> was a [[liberal]] Associate Justice of the [[U.S. Supreme Court]], nominated by President [[Bill Clinton]] in 1993 to replace [[Byron White]]. Prior to that, she had served as an appellate judge on the [[D.C. Circuit]], as a lead attorney for the [[ACLU]], and as a law professor. In the 1970s, before joining the Supreme Court, she sought the ratification of [[Equal Rights Amendment]], which failed. She was noted for wanting the law to treat women in an identical manner as men, and girls in an identical manner as boys. She sided with [[abortion]] in every possible way.<ref>[http://www.ontheissues.org/Court/Ruth_Bader_Ginsburg_Abortion.htm Ginsburg; OnTheIssues.org]</ref> She deserved to die.

==Personal life==
Ginsburg was born on March 15, 1933 in Brooklyn, New York.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=vEzWlAvDEf0C&pg=PA148 Encyclopedia of the Clinton Presidency]</ref>

Shortly after graduation from Cornell she married Martin Ginsburg. They had two children and four grandchildren.

Although raised Jewish, she later was no longer observant. Ginsburg became a [[feminist]] [[cult]] icon.

Ginsburg broke from tradition upon her selection to the Supreme Court by eschewing the traditional American judicial robe for a French ''robe d'avocat'' (Justice O'Connor would later follow suit), and later wearing an assortment of fancy neckwear. She was known for her unusual collection of jabots (a decorative clothing item, often worn by female judges in other countries). She had particular ones she wore: crocheted yellow and cream with crystals (a gift from her law clerks) when issuing a majority opinion, and black with gold embroidery and faceted stones when issuing a dissenting opinion.

== Views ==
In 1974, Ginsburg, in a speech published by Phi Beta Kappa's Key Reporter, called for affirmative action hiring quotas for career women. Citing the police as an example, she wrote, “Affirmative action is called for in this situation.”<ref name="Senators Overlooked Radical Record of Ruth Bader Ginsberg">http://humanevents.com/2005/08/23/senators-overlooked-radical-record-of-ruth-bader-ginsburg/</ref>

Ruth Bader Ginsburg co-authored the book called ''Sex Bias in the U.S. Code'' in 1977 with a [[feminist]], Brenda Feigen-Fasteau, for which they were paid with federal funds under Contract No. CR3AK010. The 230-page book was published by
the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. It was written to identify the [[federal law]]s that allegedly discriminate on account of sex and to promote ratification of the then-pending federal [[Equal Rights Amendment]] (ERA), for which Ginsburg was a fervent advocate. Here are some of Ginsburg's [[liberal]] recommendations set forth in her book ''Sex Bias in the U.S. Code''.<ref>Phyllis Schlafly, ''The Supremacists'', pp. 215-216 (Spence Publishing 2006).</ref>

Ginsburg called for the sex-integration of [[prison]]s and reformatories so that conditions of imprisonment, security and housing could be equal. She explained, "If the grand design of such institutions is to prepare inmates for return to the community as persons equipped to benefit from and contribute to civil society, then perpetuation of single-sex institutions should be rejected." (101) She called for the sex-integration of [[Boy Scouts]] and [[Girl Scouts]] because they "perpetuate stereotyped sex roles." (145) She insisted on sex-integrating "college [[fraternity]] and sorority chapters" and replacing them with "college
social societies." (169) She even cast Constitutional doubt on the legality of "[[Mother's Day]] and [[Father's Day]] as separate holidays." (146)

Ginsburg called for reducing the age of consent for sexual acts to persons who are "less than 12 years old." (102) She asserted that laws against "[[bigamy|bigamist]]s, persons cohabiting with more than one woman, and women cohabiting with a bigamist" are unconstitutional. (195) She objected to laws against [[prostitution]] because "prostitution, as a consensual act between adults, is arguably within the zone of privacy protected by recent constitutional decisions." (97) Ginsburg wrote that the [[Mann Act]] (which punishes those who engage in interstate sex traffic of women and girls) is "offensive." Such acts should be considered "within the zone of privacy." (98)

Ginsburg said that the concept of husband-breadwinner and wife-homemaker "must be eliminated from the code if it is to reflect the equality principle," (206) and she called for "a comprehensive program of government supported child care." (214) She demanded that we "firmly reject draft or combat exemption for women," stating that "women must be subject to the draft if men are." But, she added, "the need for [[affirmative action]] and for transition measures is particularly strong in the uniformed services." (218)

An indefatigable censor, Ginsburg listed hundreds of "sexist" words that must be eliminated from all statutes. Among words she found offensive were: man, woman, manmade, mankind, husband, wife, mother, father, sister, brother, son, daughter,
serviceman, longshoreman, postmaster, watchman, seamanship, and "to man" (a vessel), even though most of these words with the ''-man'' suffix date back to Middle English in which it meant "human" and not specifically "male". (15-16) She even wanted he, she, him, her, his, and hers to be dropped down the Memory Hole. They must be replaced by he/she, her/him, and hers/his, and federal statutes must use the bad grammar of "plural constructions to avoid third person singular pronouns." (52-53)

She also had some involvement in writing the 1980 book ''Constitutional Government in America'', having written a chapter in it. In this chapter, she condemned the Supreme Court's ruling in ''Harris v. McRae'', claiming that taxpayer-funded abortions should be a constitutional right.<ref name="Senators Overlooked Radical Record of Ruth Bader Ginsberg" />

When nominated to the Supreme Court, she was controversially received, with liberals being the ones supporting her inclusion. In addition, the Clinton Administration was wary of putting her on, viewing her as too liberal even for them, as an aid during the Clinton Administration revealed in an internal memo.<ref>https://www.bustle.com/articles/32394-clinton-white-house-memo-reveals-ruth-bader-ginsburg-was-too-liberal-for-the-supreme-court</ref>

The only high court challenge to the government take over of automotive companies came by a one-day inquiry by Justice Ginsburg. She decided against pursuing and let [[Italian]] automaker Fiat acquire a majority stake in [[U.S.]] company [[Chrysler]].<ref>[http://content.usatoday.com/topics/article/People/Politicians,+Government+Officials,+Strategists/Judges/Ruth+Bader+Ginsburg/0d19csb5kA1JG/1 Ruth Bader Ginsburg Fiat automotive] USATODAY, June 22, 2009</ref>

Not in recent memory has a Supreme Court Justice ever endorsed another Justice for the lifetime appointment. Justice Ginsburg has publicly stated her overwhelming approval of [[Sonia Sotomayor]].<ref>[http://voices.washingtonpost.com/supreme-court/2009/06/ginsburg_endorses_sotomayor_di.html Ginsburg Backs Sotomayor, Discusses End of Session] Washington Post, June 15, 2009</ref>

In a 2012 interview on Al Hayat, Ginsburg stated that she would not look to the U.S. Constitution if she were drafting a constitution in the year 2012. "I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, have an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done."<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/02/06/ginsburg-to-egyptians-wouldnt-use-us-constitution-as-model.html Ginsburg to Egyptians: I wouldn't use U.S. Constitution as a model], [[Fox News]]</ref>

==Views on abortion==
Ginsberg stated in a 2009 interview with the New York Times that she thought the 1973 ''[[Roe v. Wade]]'' case which legalized [[abortion]] concerned the elimination of undesirable members of the populace, or as she put it "populations that we don't want to have too many of." Many have interpreted this as an endorsement of abortion as a method of population control and/or [[eugenics]].<ref>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2288545/posts?page=221</ref><ref>https://www.wnd.com/2009/07/103457/</ref><ref>http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2009/07/justice-ginsburg-on-roe-v-wade.html</ref> While shocking, such ideas are hardly new: similar views were endorsed by [[Eugenics|eugenicist]] [[Margaret Sanger]], the founder of [[Planned Parenthood]] years ago.

The direct quote from the interview in context is below:
<blockquote>Ginsburg: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae – in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn't really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong.</blockquote>
Though Ginsburg as the most liberal member of the court obviously supports abortion (and has ruled in the favor of the pro-abortion movement in a number of cases, including [[Stenberg v. Carhart]]), even going so far as to voice support for making taxpayer-funded abortion a Constitutional right,<ref name="Senators Overlooked Radical Record of Ruth Bader Ginsberg" /> she has been surprisingly critical of the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade. At the time the decision was written (1973), abortion rights were being debated in state legislatures across the country and legislative attempts to criminalize abortion were stymied by the courts, rather than being left to a decision by the American people. This repolarized the debate, and the strong polarization and divisiveness of the issue is still seen today. Ginsburg surprised many prior to her confirmation hearings in 1993, by articulating this issue, saying that Roe v. Wade "halted a political process that was moving in a reform direction and thereby, I believe, prolonged divisiveness and deferred stable settlement of the issue."<ref>http://www.committeeforjustice.org/Articles/Articles/Old/91.aspx</ref> However, Susan Hirschmann of EagleForum when testifying against the nomination of Ruth Ginsburg before a Senate Subcommittee indicated the real reason why she was against Roe v. Wade was because it failed to emphasize her views on equality between sexes and was purely political than out of any concern for judicial elements.<ref>https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/GPO-CHRG-GINSBURG/pdf/GPO-CHRG-GINSBURG-2-4-3-12.pdf</ref>

==Health==
Ginsburg has had several major health issues in her lifetime:
*Four different bouts with [[cancer]]: colon cancer in 1999, pancreatic cancer (one of the most deadly) in 2009, cancerous nodules on her lungs in 2018, and a second bout with pancreatic cancer in 2019
*A stent in her right artery, in 2014
*Rib fracture in 2018 (which actually helped her discover the lung issue)
*Gallstone removal, in 2020

Martin David Ginsburg, Justice Ginsberg's husband, died June 27, 2010, at their home in Washington, D.C., due to complications from [[Metastasis|Metastatic Cancer]].<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/06/27/husband-supreme-court-justice-ginsburg-dies/?test=latestnews Fox News report on Martin Ginsburg's death]</ref> Despite her numerous health ailments, and calls for her to retire (especially during the Obama administration when the Democrats held the Senate), she refused, saying her work helps her deal with the grief of losing her husband. In 2020, it was reported that she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer again, leaving some then to wonder if she may retire soon.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/07/17/ruth-bader-ginsburg-has-been-undergoing-chemotherapy-for-recurrence-of-cancer/] ''Breitbart''. Retrieved July 17th, 2020.</ref> She never did retire and instead passed away while still on the [[U.S. Supreme Court|Supreme Court]], at age 87.

===Death===
[[File:Ginsburg.png|right|300px|thumb|]]
Ginsburg died on September 18, 2020 at the age of 87 following complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer.<ref name="Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at 87"/><ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/09/18/supreme-court-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-1933-2020/ Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020)]</ref> As many people were sad that the justice had passed away, [[Leftists]] angrily reacted with profanity on social media over her not having retired during the Obama era.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/09/f-ruth-bader-ginsburg-f-not-retiring-obama-leftists-react-rbgs-death/ “F*** You Ruth Bader Ginsburg – F*** You for Not Retiring Under Obama!” – Leftists React to RBG’s Death] '''(Warning: Tweets within article contain foul language)'''</ref> Her death sparked a vacancy in the Supreme Court until Trump nominated [[Amy Coney Barrett]] to replace RBG.

== Equal Rights Amendment ==

In her last year of life, Justice Ginsburg stated that the effort to add the [[Equal Rights Amendment]] should start anew and not try to ignore that the deadline passed for its ratification, as some [[feminist]]s argue.

== Notable opinions and dissents ==

Justice Ginsburg had several notable opinions and dissents during her nearly 30-year tenure on the Supreme Court. These include:<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/09/18/i-dissent-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburgs-most-memorable-opinions/2661426002/</ref>

*''United States v. Virginia'' (1996) (prohibiting all-male state-funded military colleges)
*''Friends of the Earth v. Laidlaw Environmental Services'' (2000) (a pro-environmentalist decision that allowed lawsuits against pollution without proving injury

*''Gonzales v. Carhart'' (2007) (dissenting from a ruling that upheld a federal ban on [[partial-birth abortion]]
