Respectfully, I would say that this is incorrect generally, though may have some truth partially

on the whole, this is essentially NATO trying to summon a Marshall Plan for Africa, South America and Eurasia (and to some extent ASEAN)
Italy (G7 country) signed up for Belt and Road in 2019 then got bullied by NATO to back out because of NATO fear of massive Chinese footprint in 3rd largest economy in europe
NATO has been looking for a massive response to BRI for a long, long time, and it wasn't possible under Trump administration because the only commonality economically to make this happen is the electric energy transition
None of this is necessarily wrong in principle (it's geopolitics and some would say about time)

But the above I think is the most accurate general sense of what's going on.
Clarifying Addendum:

NATO is basically using climate change / green energy revolution as pretext to seize control of third world by owning its energy infrastructure.
and they will use project finance through World Bank-style "investment" on steroids to make sure every aspect of third world economies are dependent on NATO NGOs and NATO country financial lifelines.

We've seen this playbook
Via this mechanism, every President in the third world will have to filter through this NATO-co-opted civil society element in each country in order to rise to power, and so NATO will be able to basically pick each third world country's president, write its laws, etc.

I have a question for @TheJusticeDept and @FBI

The FBI released several 30-second video clips of the suspected pipe bomber, seeking publics help to identify him

revolver.news/2021/06/federa…
Two of the video clips are from stationary cameras where released clips begin and end with the suspect already in the middle of the frame.
One tape you released is of a stationary camera outside DNC Headquarters, which has the suspect directly in frame sitting on the park bench near where the pipe bomb was allegedly planted.

Huge piece dropping later this evening on Revolver.news

Praying it will change the national conversation on 1/6
As we add the finishing touches to the new piece, here's a comprehensive list of all of Revolver News' investigative reporting on 1/6.

Starting with the piece that launched it all:

Not really true but it would take too long to explain all the ways in which this is misguided

1 st point--- it begs the question as to what is ontologically prior, the "moral" or a full acount of Being
Secondly, Damon smuggles in a version of Strauss that Velkley explicitly and implicitly critiques in his work

Velkley is not defending Strauss the moralist at all.
According to the aporetic interpretation of Strauss rather than the more childish "moralist" account...
it is just as problematic to defend any one moral position over the other. Or, at least, the aporetic Strauss is not primarily concerned with morals in a sense that would give Damon's critique here real bite

The thread that follows represents a short "book review" of sorts of Richard Velkley's book on Heidegger and Strauss

amazon.com/Heidegger-Stra…
2/x

It's an OK book by academic standards. Anyone interested in Strauss and Heidegger should probably read it (though my dissertation is much better)
3/x

It's got some interesting twists and turns, some great quotations regarding Strauss' admiration for Heidegger

Strauss was first rate enough to admit that Heidegger was simply in a different category of Being (no pun intended)

Edge to Nick, but I think he left a lot on the table and would have been more effective spending more time contextualizing "islamofascism"

What Barnes calls Islamofascists are in large part instruments of US government, and Israel has been a part of this -- specifically ISIS
Both the US and Israel have at the very least used "Islamofascism" (particularly Sunni variety) to advance geopolitical aims

-Imo Nick was a little bit too stuck in emphasizing differences between US policy and Israel when to critique latter
I am pro-Israel generally and specifically with respect to the Israel Palestine question (though American politics is disproportionately obsessed with this dispute)

Have to comment on this.

But want to preface the following by saying that I admire @realchrisrufo tremendously as someone who is smart, a fighter, and in the arena doing a very important job with encouraging success so far
2/x

Also, I understand the pressures of live TV.

There's a lot of downside to slipping up on this question.
So I Monday morning quarterback with full awareness of the proper qualifications and complete respect for Rufo and his project.
3/x

With that being said, it is very sad that a foremost champion critic of critical race theory, which is in truth anti-white racial theory, doesn't feel comfortable saying ANYTHING positive about being white

That's the state of affairs we're in and it's not good
