I think it’s interesting that the Village Voice newspaper which touts itself as “New York News, Food, Culture and Events” really isn’t accommodating of vegan culture at all.  I’m sure that a lot of its readers are vegan or at least they like vegan (and raw vegan) food, so why isn’t there any mention of that anywhere?

For example, I saw the “Best New Restaurants of 2017” article that is featured, but all of the restaurants that it mentions are traditional and meat-serving.  In fact the first restaurant on the list serves “foie gras torchon, doled out in stout pucks the size of stereo receiver dials..,” ect.. Foie gras, really?  All of the the rest of the restaurants on the list are the meat serving type as well, with none of them being vegan or raw vegan restaurants!

Also, the homepage of the newspaper currently has all sorts of pictures of big piles of hot dogs and meat barbecues, and the “Ask New Yorkers: What’s on the Grill” article doesn’t even feature a single group of people having a vegan barbecue.  They couldn’t find anybody doing that?

In New York people have the option to go to vegan restaurants as easily as any other, so I wonder why the stories aren’t focusing on that at all.  The newspaper has potential to be influential, so why is it only following meat eating habits?

Europe has increasingly been becoming a repressive totalitarian state, with exactly the same political Establishment being responsible for its current problems as has been responsible for the World Wars that have ravaged it during the last century.

How could Europeans not have learned from what has happened to them?  The specific laws that outlaw free speech in Europe are a direct cause of the serious (and soon to be fatal) problems that Europeans are experiencing now.

I’m amazed by how so many Europeans have turned into uninformed politically correct zombies.  What most don’t realize is that the same people who are telling them what to think now have been telling them what to think during World Wars I and II, and for the same ultimate agendas!

What sort of a society thinks that it is acceptable to criminalize free speech?!  Europeans need to wake up about what is happening to them.

Tommy Robinson has been released from prison in the UK after being jailed for mentioning a Muslim grooming gang trial that was occurring.  In this broadcast he explains what happened to him while he was in prison.

This Breitbart article explains that some women in Saudi Arabia who are starting to learn how to drive are being harassed and threatened by groups of men in their neighborhoods, with some of the women even having their cars set on fire while they sleep.

What’s next?— Banning the word “peanut butter”?

The definition of “Milk” from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

“A fluid secreted by the mammary glands of females for the nourishment of their young.”
“Milk from an animal and especially a cow used as food by people.”
“A food product produced from seeds or fruit that resembles and is used similarly to cow’s milk — coconut milk — soy milk”

The head of the FDA Scott Gottlieb has announced that he intends to outlaw the use of the word “milk” for beverages that don’t originate from the mammary glands of lactating animals, despite the fact that the word “milk” has been used to describe non-diary beverages for centuries.

While dairy milk sales have dropped 11% over the past year, milk alternatives such as almond milk and soy milk are becoming much more popular, with hemp milk also potentially becoming much more popular due to it being more economical to produce than almond milk.

Gottlieb’s agenda stems from a failed legislative initiative called “Defending Against Imitations and Replacements of Yogurt, Milk, and Cheese To Promote Regular Intake of Dairy Everyday Act” (also called the Dairy Pride Act) that attempted to benefit the daily industry by imposing restrictions on non-dairy alternative products.

The Dairy Pride Act claims health benefits are associated with the consumption of dairy milk and it claims that consumers are being “misled” by plant based milks due to them potentially thinking that they are actually purchasing dairy milk, despite the fact that the packaging for non-dairy milks are clearly labeled as such.

Government and industry aligned nutritionists continue to tout health benefits of dairy, however many other nutritionists claim that plant-based diets are more beneficial.

A leftist mob threw a man into a shallow concrete fountain because he was  protesting Islam at the site of the recent gun massacre in Toronto, while the police only looked on and made no arrests.

Following is a summary of an article in The Australian: 

Traveling cyclists from the US and and Europe were killed and others were injured when they were attacked by ISIS militants in Tajikistan, where they were rammed by a car and then attacked by a gang armed with guns and knives.  Four people were killed and three others were injured.

Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, who were killed in the attack, were a couple from the US who were on a trek bicycling around the world that they were documenting on their blog SimplyCycling.org.  Jay Austin was a “tiny house” aficionado who was featured in a 2015 Washington Post article as well as being featured in an online documentary.

Rene Wokke, a psychologist from the Netherlands, was killed, and his partner Kim Postma, a hospital administrator, was also injured in the attack.  Wokke was maintaining a blog of their journey as well.

Also Swiss cyclist Markus Hummel, who was killed, kept a blog of his journey with another Swiss national, Marie-Claire Diemand, who was injured in the attack.

In this video, John McAfee explains how anyone with a device called a “Stingray” can listen to all cell phone calls that are made within a quarter of a mile of where the device is located.

I posted this video a few years ago, but YouTube took it down.  I’m very concerned about talking on cell phones, and it hated it when I had to enter information such as account numbers on the keypad.  Supposedly your conversations cannot be listened to using that device if you are using an encrypted VOIP app on your phone, however.  Such an app can also allow you to converse over your home internet connection rather than over the air as well.

(Note that John McAfee was recently killed in prison after he was arrested on tax evasion charges.)
