Equity, Racial Equality, and Wealth Redistribution

 Ludwig von Mises highlighted that socialists continually alter their language to mask their strategies aimed at diminishing individual freedom and property rights. Their ultimate goal is to increase state control over property, primarily through wealth redistribution.

1. Socialist Terminology Change: Mises argued that socialists use different terms to disguise their motives, which seek to empower the state over individual rights.

2. Wealth Redistribution: A significant method for state control over private property is wealth redistribution. This idea aligns with Marxist concepts like the "permanent revolution," where changes in society are all interconnected and create a continuous cycle of transformation.

3. Substantive Equality: The term "equity," associated with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts, serves as a modern justification for wealth redistribution under the guise of ensuring true equality.

4. Historical Example - Confiscation Act of 1861: The initial justification for confiscating property during the Civil War was framed around military objectives rather than wealth redistribution. Over time, rhetoric shifted towards redistribution, particularly targeting property of Confederate supporters.

5. Radical Republican Goals: Eventually, the political rhetoric focused on seizing land from Confederate sympathizers to redistribute it among freed slaves, illustrating a shift towards explicit wealth redistribution framed as justice for formerly enslaved individuals.

6. Consequences of Redistribution: Disputes over property rights emerged following the confiscation and redistribution policies, leading to ongoing racial tensions and conflict over property ownership that have lasting effects today.

The discourse surrounding equity and wealth redistribution in contemporary society echoes historical patterns of property confiscation and redistribution, showcasing the ongoing struggle over property rights and social justice. Mises' insights serve as a cautionary tale against the implications of these ideologies.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
