Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice.
Former Twitter CEO says capitalists will be the first to be shot in the revolution
The CEO of the digital currency exchange Coinbase recently banned politics at work, and he offered generous severance packages to anyone who didn’t like that decision.
But the former CEO of Twitter from 2010-2015, Dick Costelo, thinks staying out of politics deserves a death sentence.
Costelo, apparently a recovering capitalist, tweeted: “Me-first capitalists who think you can separate society from business are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the revolution. I’ll happily provide video commentary.”
This is what these woke Bolsheviks stand for– death to infidels, burn the witches, off with their bourgeois heads!

CBS news analyzes the fly’s opinion on politics
Today this is considered newsworthy: a fly landed on the Vice President’s head during the debate this week.
And according to at least one prominent CBS news reporter, this seems to be a sign from the heavens about who you should vote for.
In CBS’s post-debate commentary, anchor Gayle King stated: “I think it’s very interesting timing that a fly would land on Mike Pence’s head at that particular time, when he said that there really wasn’t systemic racism. I saw the fly basically going, say what?”
Are we living in the pre-biblical times when slaughtered doves and lamb’s blood were used to divine the future, and something as simple as a house fly was considered an omen from the gods?
It’s extraordinary that someone in the 21st century would even say something like this, let alone an individual who pretends to be a serious journalist. But that’s the media for you.

More fraudulent PPP loans discovered
Last week a defense contractor in Hawaii was charged with stealing over $12 million through the federal forgivable loan Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
Also last week, a man was charged after inventing fake businesses, in an attempt to steal over $6 million. He only got away with $1.7 million before he was caught, but not all of that money was recovered.
These are just the latest instances of fraud when it comes to the government’s massive bailout for businesses affected by the COVID lockdowns.
Right out of the gate, we saw some high profile cases of celebrities buying cars and clothes with PPP money.
Then the government sent at least $1 billion to dead people, money which they made no effort to recover.

Yelp places badge of dishonor on businesses accused of racism
The online review website Yelp is giving the woke mob a new tool to use.
When a business is accused of racism in a review, Yelp will place a large badge on the business page which says, “Business Accused of Racist Behavior.”
Yelp, of course, justifies the decision by proclaiming its own righteousness. They brag about all the support they’ve given to minority-owned businesses and all the donations and partnerships they’ve entered into with anti-racist organizations, and state they have zero tolerance for racism.
Sounds great. But they also seem to have zero tolerance for due process or the rights of the accused. This Jacobian policy makes it ridiculously easy for the mob to take down local businesses across the country, without any real process for adjudication.

We must accept the eternal double standard will always protect and defend the extreme leftist bags of shit in our society .
The “THEY” will always demand a standard of jurisprudence and a presumption of innocence for themselves and those of their ilk !
Not so for their political or social opponents !
As for the wealthy leftist proclaiming capitalist are to be shot , take note “THEY” are not divesting their wealth and taking up a vow of poverty . I am certain there are plenty of openings in the ranks for them to grab a wooden bowl shave their heads and begin begging for a meager existence and praying for the soul and state of mankind .
Put your money where your mouth is while we will use our earned gains as we see fit ! Usually more generous than the leftist ideology and people live longer too !
I think I’ll start patronizing racist establishments. I’m going to use this inversion to my advantage.
G-N-L,
Yelp just added a feature that should make that
strategy easier:

Hmmm. I wonder if he realizes that he will be one of the ones lined up and shot? /end sarcasm
Seriously? Rat shit on legs like him would be the first ones put into the new pogroms once a new power base is in control ala Stalin. The dictatorship does not like potential competition. Even if you helped light the revolutionary fire lol. Pick up a fucking book from a reputable source or find people that crossed 90 miles of ocean in a fucking tire tube or ran across the DMZ in Korea or made the climb over the Berlin Wall to see just how awesome communisn is.
Fucking shit brained proto-communist amoebas man. I don’t think those idiots realize that every example of dipshitism, aka communism, has utterly failed, is going to fail or will be quashed by people that finally get fed the fuck up with not being fed.
Complacency is what got this country into this fucking grease fire of a situation, but there are people finally waking up to the flames of idiocy and slowly shaking off the cob webs to see that a reckoning is upon us on whatever side we may be on. I just hope it is not already too late.
I will leave it (loosely) with what Mike Ritland said on the Mike Drop podcast with Kevin Owens as this is absolutely echoed by many of us veterans: you better hope they don’t defund or eliminate the police because they are the only thing protecting you (antifa/blm, etc.) from us: men that have made a living by doing acts of measured, extreme violence and we excel at it. Our thermometers are just about ready to explode, so you better hope that the fabric, what’s left of it at least, of civility stays intact. The varsity team is chomping at the bit.
I will continue to dry my foods, reload, do map recons of surrounding problem areas and major supply routes and the typical SUT I am accustomed to. EAD.
Sharing isn’t caring. It’s communism. You cannot legislate charity your fucking privileged imbeciles. How soon is now? Fuck it dude, I am going to do some pull-ups with my gear on.
Zero fucks given.
I would post tips and tricks of the old profession, but I am not into giving the enemy any opportunity to counter the inevitable future. If anyone is looking for some pointers offline then no problem. The one that I will say here: keep training mentally and physically because November 3rd 2020 is going to be the tell. This shit has become too polarized by idiocy now to be avoided.
Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.
Report all BLM supporting businesses to Yelp as racist. they obviously hate white people. Give preferential treatment to certain groups.
When EVERY business is claimed to be “racist,” the meaning will fall away quickly. Be sure to tag your local white-hating business as soon as possible.
Walmart is racist. They will not allow the locals to solve their problems on the property.

Funny that this multi-millionaire wants to shoot capitalists in his revolution; he should know there is another revolution brewing where “they” shoot all the communists and globalists.
Just sayin’
