How Dare You Fight Back Against Communists! Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us When we examine the historic nature of communist revolution, we have to look beyond our disgust for their motives and consider their strategies and the reasons why they tend to succeed. Because it is simply a fact that the western experiment of individual liberty and self determination is being systematically eroded by a storm of socialist movements that will inevitably lead to a global communist regime if we do not take drastic actions in the near future. The goals of communism and socialism are essentially the same; the core difference is that socialism seeks collectivist control of populations and resources through an incremental and “peaceful” (subversive) takeover of governments. Communism seeks collectivist control over populations and resources through direct and violent overthrow. Either strategy can bleed into the other and there is no rule that says communists can’t exploit various shades of violence and sabotage while hiding behind a facade of peace and democracy. At bottom, leftists operate like guerrillas when they are not in government power, and they operate like dictators when they are in government power. We have seen this dynamic on display when it comes to the highly organized activist sabotage networks that stalk and impede lawful deportations of illegal aliens. This week, one female activist was shot and killed while allegedly trying to block ICE agents with her vehicle, and then trying to run one of them over when they approached her. I’ve looked at all the available video evidence from multiple angles and in my opinion she did in fact try to hit the officer with her car. Frankly, she got exactly what she deserved and I would argue that more of these NGO paid activists need to face similar consequences if we are ever going to stop the engineered communist monkey wrenching in our midst. If we can’t shut the NGOs down, then the people they pay and train need t...
美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周四表示,如果美国最高法院裁定反对总统特朗普依据紧急权力征收关税的做法,他有信心通过其他法律授权征收关税,从而弥补任何可能损失的关税收入。但他同时承认,这样的结果将削弱特朗普在关税问题上的灵活性和谈判杠杆。 贝森特是在明尼苏达经济俱乐部(Economic Club of Minnesota)的一场活动上发表上述言论的。贝森特为依据《国际紧急经济权力法案》(Internat...
美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周四表示,如果美国最高法院裁定反对总统特朗普依据紧急权力征收关税的做法,他有信心通过其他法律授权征收关税,从而弥补任何可能损失的关税收入。但他同时承认,这样的结果将削弱特朗普在关税问题上的灵活性和谈判杠杆。 贝森特是在明尼苏达经济俱乐部(Economic Club of Minnesota)的一场活动上发表上述言论的。贝森特为依据《国际紧急经济权力法案》(International Emergency Economic Powers Act,IEEPA)征收关税的做法辩护,称这些关税已促使墨西哥和加拿大坐到谈判桌前,就遏制芬太尼走私展开磋商。 “毫无疑问的是,我们仍然有能力在总体关税收入水平大致相当的情况下继续征收关税,”贝森特说。“真正存在疑问、而且对美国人民来说是一个重大变化的是,总统将失去使用关税的灵活性——无论是在国家安全层面,还是作为谈判筹码。” 贝森特表示,IEEPA关税为特朗普提供了相当大的施压能力。 “当他说‘我们要征收100%关税’时,我的电话立刻响个不停,”贝森特说,“这就把他们拉到了谈判桌前。归根结底,我想说的是,我们将失去国家安全层面的能力和灵活性。” IEEPA关税已为目前每月约300亿美元的关税收入作出重要贡献,这一规模较特朗普一年前重返白宫前增加了四倍。贝森特表示,即便最高法院否定IEEPA关税,政府仍可依据其他授权——包括出于国家安全考虑或针对不公平贸易行为实施报复性关税的法律工具——在很大程度上维持这一收入来源。 “因此,我并不认为关税收入会出现明显下降,甚至几乎不会减少,”贝森特说。真正会被削弱的,“只是实施和谈判的能力。” 贝森特的这番言论发表在美国最高法院预计公布2026年首批裁决的前一天。相关裁决可能包括一项备受关注的案件,即特朗普是否可以援引IEEPA,为其大规模征收进口关税提供法律依据。相关措施已将美国进口商品的平均关税税率从2025年初的不足3%推高至接近17%。 责任编辑:陈钰嘉

In a photo illustration, prescription drugs are seen next to a pill bottle on July 23, 2024 in New York City. Spencer Platt | Getty Images News | Getty Images A coalition of patient advocacy groups is urging a federal court to halt the practices of third-party companies that buy drugs from countries outside the FDA-regulated U.S. supply chain, which the groups argue put U.S. patients' health at risk. The court filing comes in the wake of a CNBC investigation that documented how these third-parties – commonly referred to as alternative funding programs, or AFPs – have spread across employer-sponsored health plans nationwide. Under the growing business model, AFPs source high-cost specialty drugs from abroad at lower prices and charge employers a fee or a percentage of the savings. The AFPs then provide the medication to patients at little or no cost. AFPs are especially appealing to small employers like local school districts, county governments and others who pay their staff's healthcare costs out of pocket. But there's a tradeoff: Federal officials at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Food and Drug Administration told CNBC that these medications are illegally imported and put patients' lives at risk. A Homeland Security Investigations official last year told CNBC that criminal investigations into AFPs were ongoing. The filing in a U.S. Court of Appeals in Maryland, dated Dec. 26, was led by the HIV+Hepatitis Policy Institute, a nonprofit that advocates for safe and affordable treatment for people living with HIV and viral hepatitis. "Forcing a person who has employer-sponsored health insurance to sign up with an unknown third-party vendor to receive their life-saving drug supplied by a foreign country not only is illegal but jeopardizes the health and safety of patients," wrote Carl Schmid, executive director of the HIV+Hepatitis Policy Institute, in a press release . "While federal regulators should be shutting them down, in the meantime, the courts...
