“We do not reject Yeshua [Jesus] the Jewish Messiah.”

Yeah, that’s not how that works, my dudes.

The defendants include Rhode Island’s governor, education commissioner and other education authorities. Their lawyer, Anthony Cottone, told the appellate court in a brief that binding legal precedent has established there’s no fundamental right to education under the U.S. Constitution.

I am gobsmacked. The state is actually arguing that if it chooses to keep its population ignorant, that no one can say different. WTF, RI?

Ripping off rich people can get you in trouble, just ask Bernie Maddoff. Ripping off poor people is allowed, just ask Trumpy.

That also raises the question again of where all that money and more went. How could Lizzie Theranos spend it all?

I tag and bag a lot of articles, then later index them (my in-queue is stuffed) and push them out to my wiki and then to the Darklantern Tiddlywiki build.

I was thinking of dong a build, and I wanted make sure that I had done all the articles for Jeffrey Tucker, director of the American Institute for Economic Research, the hand-up-the-butt of the Great Barrington Declaration.

Check, check, check, check, WHAM!

Okay, I guess I should have seen this coming, but unexpected!

eta: Confirmed that it’s the same Jeffrey A. Tucker, but I haven’t turned over the League of the South’s site with a dung-fork yet.

Repentant retailer

Tabloid Iltalehti reports that controversial retail boss Juha Kärkkäinen has promised to give up writing Facebook posts that, for example, deny the Holocaust or link President Sauli Niinistö to conspiracy theories and instead put more time and energy into his day job, running his bargain basement chain of department stores.

“Out of respect for the company’s employees and suppliers, I have decided to stop publishing statements about political matters or other issues that concern other people,” IL quotes Kärkkäinen as writing.

The retailer caused quite a stir over the weekend when, as IL also reported, he called Finland’s President an “Nwo henchman”, a reference to the New World Order (NWO) conspiracy theory — popular among far-right warriors of the keyboard — which claims a secretive power elite is intent on global domination.

Kärkkäinen has now asked for forgiveness from the president, IL writes, and anyone else who “may have been offended” by his posts or statements on social media.

The retail magnate has plenty of previous experience when it comes to self-inflicted damage to his company’s brand. In 2015, a number of big Finnish companies — including Finlayson and Fiskars — cut all ties with the department store chain following Kärkkäinen’s publication of “repulsive propaganda” in a freesheet newspaper.

These companies remain unmoved by Kärkkäinen’s latest apology however and told IL they intend to keep their products out of his stores, with Oulu-based Kaleva also reporting that local ice-hockey side Kärpät are now reconsidering their sponsorship arrangement with the chain.

Kärkkäinen has also previously made headlines because of his strong links to far-right groups and a conviction for agitation against an ethnic group.

And that’s not all. During the summer he urged his employees not to take the coronavirus vaccine, inviting them to ‘do their own research’ by sending around anti-vaxx videos and links though the company’s internal communications channel.

Funny how many of those schools have Christian or some denomination in their title.

There’s a reason I call them ‘anti-Christ Christians’.
