Globalism Seeks to Kill the Nation-State---- International government threatens the whole planet.
The United Nations is not neutral ground for national governments to discuss their differences; it is a governmental construct meant to replace national governments. The World Health Organization is not an international body meant to coordinate complex responses to global health emergencies; it is an institution vested with vast power and authority to track and regulate every human on the planet. The Bank for International Settlements, the World Bank Group, and the International Monetary Fund don’t exist to expand free trade, open markets, and assist developing nations; they exist to centralize control over all economic transactions in the world.
The onslaught of “green new deal” laws in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand have nothing to do with preserving the environment or “saving the planet”; they are part of a broader U.N. initiative to track every person’s so-called “carbon footprint” in order to monitor, tax, and regulate all human activity. The U.N.’s “climate reparations” policy has nothing to do with “justice” or “science”; it exists to justify the redistribution of wealth from Western nations to non-Western nations under the guise of “international law.”
The message we have heard all our lives is loud and clear: Nations do bad things. International organizations do good things.
The rhetorical war on “nationalism” didn’t begin because people who are proud of their nations magically became Nazis; people who are proud of their nations are called “Nazis” so that those who rule over us can demonize the nation-state. If you go back through newspapers and scholarly essays before WWII, “nationalism” and “patriotism” are used interchangeably. After WWII, there is an obvious linguistic break. “Patriotism,” for the most part, survives as an acceptable civic virtue (How else can governments send men into battle if there are no patriots?). “Nationalism,” however, becomes increasingly used through the decades as a derogatory term linked to fascism — as if the very organizing concept of a nation-state is inherently authoritarian and anti-democratic.
Thinking about this anti-nationalism campaign for more than a second reveals its silliness. Why would a constitutional republic with representative democracy be “fascist” at the national level but “democratic” when organized internationally? Why would the Executive leader of a nation such as Germany, France, or the United States be more “authoritarian” than the secretary-general of the U.N. or the president of the European Commission? Why would an international governing body be considered more “democratic” than a town, region, or nation of people governing themselves? Why should the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, be considered Europe’s “representative leader” when the European people never voted for her to “represent” them?
The U.N. has 193 member state ambassadors representing roughly 8.3 billion people. Why should such a minuscule parliamentary assembly be considered “democratic” or “representative” at all? At best, it uses the veneer of “democracy” to justify imposing its authoritarian will upon all of humanity. Whether one dictator or 193 dictators working in concert — when humanity is forced to obey the edicts of rulers, it doesn’t matter if those edicts come from a national or international body.
Natural rights and freedoms do not become more natural because 193 people in New York City say so. God-given liberties exist despite the existence of government, not because of government. The more people over whom a government claims jurisdiction, the less likely that any one person’s natural rights will be respected and protected. When a citizen cannot look his “representative” in the face, his “representative” is much less concerned about infringing that citizen’s natural liberties.
International governments are no less likely to become totalitarian than national governments. Just as Hitler’s national socialism and Mussolini’s fascism did last century, international tyranny prefers to disguise itself as something peaceful, benevolent, and for the common good. Had Hitler successfully conquered Europe, perhaps the German Empire would have been called the European Union. Had Hitler conquered the world, perhaps the U.N.’s headquarters would be in Berlin. National totalitarianism becomes international totalitarianism just as easily as national mask and vaccine mandates transform into “vaccine passports” and World Health Organization mandates.
The same people who hyperventilate about President Trump’s supposed “authoritarianism” roundly applaud the authoritarianism of global institutions such as the World Health Organization. In fact, when the president withdrew the United States from WHO on his first day back in office last year due to the international body’s mishandling of the COVID pandemic and efforts to cover up the pandemic’s origin in Wuhan, China, critics in the press accused Trump of being “scientifically reckless” and called “global cooperation” a “biological necessity.”
That’s another part of internationalism’s linguistic magic trick: The same global corporate news machine that has spent the last eighty-plus years conditioning people to understand the word “nationalism” as something evil, militant, and barbaric has simultaneously conditioned the world to see anything “international” as inherently good, peaceful, and progressive. The “national / international” dichotomy didn’t happen by accident; it’s been shoved down our throats all our lives. But once again, if a rational person takes a moment to consider the semantic manipulation, it is quite absurd.
If the International Monetary Fund, headquartered in Washington, D.C., were more accurately renamed the “American Monetary Fund,” would the financial institution become more suspect? If so, then how should we view the word “international” as anything other than a verbal ruse meant to project a false message that the IMF acts on behalf of all people on the planet? American taxpayers have principally funded the World Health Organization since its formation in 1948. If it had been called the American Health Organization, would the press have been as upset when “authoritarian” Trump decided to stop funding it? If not, does this not suggest that words such as “world” and “global” distort the identity and purpose of these intrusive organizations?
“Internationalism” is a Trojan Horse or at least the camel’s nose under the tent for Big Government authoritarians who wish to impose their will on the whole planet.
When “international” agents or soldiers come knocking, their mission sounds downright “humanitarian,” doesn’t it? The United Nations has a whole Department of Peace Operations. That department sends out military and law enforcement personnel known as “peacekeepers.” And for decades the “peacekeepers” from the Department of Peace Operations have raped women and girls all over the world. The “internationals” have been abusing the “nationals,” and the international United Nations and the multinational corporate news organizations have spent decades covering up all of the “internationals’” prolific raping. International organizations dedicated to “peace” can’t be seen doing things that only “fascist” nationals do.
Big lies expose internationalism’s true intent: Internationalists are building a global empire. This empire is authoritarian (because it demands global compliance at the expense of personal freedom) and totalitarian (because it requires complete subservience to a centralized and dictatorial global government). There is nothing “democratic” or “representative” about this international system of governance. It has no interest in protecting an individual’s rights and freedoms. It has no interest in respecting a nation’s sovereignty. It will permit both individuals and nations to be raped in the name of “global peace.”
Therefore, it makes perfect sense why the United Nations encourages mass illegal immigration into the United States and Europe. When you are in the business of destroying nations, you do not care if murderers and rapists destroy local families. You do not care if Islamic terrorists burn down Christian churches. You do not care if the “newcomers” to Europe and America have pledged to conquer the West.
For globalism to win, it must first kill the nation-state.

New Hampshire State Rep. Says Man Who Entered Women’s Locker Room is Reportedly a ‘Registered Sex Offender’

The Gateway Pundit reported that after Judy Walcott reported that someone she believed to be a man was inside the women’s locker room at a Planet Fitness in New Hampshire, her longtime membership was canceled.
Walcott told Fox News Digital, “I was shaking. Like I was actually trembling because it freaked me out that bad.”
After initially reporting the issue, she was told that the staff could not do anything about it due to company policy.
Walcott raised the issue again with another staff member a few days later and was called “transphobic.”
Ultimately, Walcott said, the gym’s manager called her to say her membership had been canceled for a “policy violation.”
Now, NH State Representative Lisa Mazur (Hillsborough District 44) has shared disturbing details about the man she says is at the center of the controversy, noting that, if this is indeed the man that Planet Fitness is protecting, he was previously convicted of felonious sexual assault and the victim was a minor.

“The main stream news is failing to do their job, so here is the bigger picture on this story out of NH,” Mazur wrote on X.
“The man pretending to be a woman hanging out in women and children’s private spaces is Christopher Beaulieu. He was previously convicted of felonious sexual assault (victim was a minor).”
“So the thing they say never happens is absolutely happening. He also hangs out at Chuck E Cheese in Manchester.”
“Judy Walcott was getting ready to use the bathroom in the women’s locker room at the Concord Planet Fitness when she saw Christopher hanging up belongings outside a shower.”
“Understandably she was very uncomfortable and scared (I know this feeling because men use our restrooms in the State House too), so she went to the front desk and reported it. The employees ignored it.”
“A few days later, she reported it to another employee who called her “transphobic” and told her to quit if she didn’t like it.”
“A few hours later, the assistant manager called her and canceled the membership. They forged her signature on the cancelation too. This smells like a lawsuit waiting to happen.”
“So a woman was punished for being frightened in her private space, and the man is still hanging out freely in there.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/05/new-hampshire-state-rep-says-man-who-entered/Turkish Police Storm Offices of Opposition CHP Party, Firing Tear Gas and Rubber Bullets

ANKARA (AP) – Police stormed the offices of Turkey’s main opposition CHP party on Sunday, firing tear gas and rubber bullets at party supporters and officials who had been holed up inside for three days.
It was a violent end to a standoff between members of the Republican Peoples’ Party, or CHP, and a leadership team appointed by an appeals court.
Footage taken by local media Sunday in the courtyard and inside the building showed clouds of tear gas as riot police stormed through the premises, before journalists were removed by the police. Supporters initially attempted to resist the police by spraying them with fire extinguishers, but were quickly stopped. Doors, furniture and the ground floor windows were destroyed.
Among those inside the building was Ozgur Ozel, elected as party chairperson in November 2023 but removed by the appeals court ruling.
Leaving the headquarters building to cheers and applause from supporters outside, Ozel told the journalists gathered at the entrance: “We are leaving (the building) now only to reclaim it in a way no one will be able to interfere again. When we return neither this administration nor the administration’s collaborators will dare do this again.”
Ozel and his supporters then began marching toward Parliament over 5 kilometers (3 miles) away from the CHP headquarters.
Tension had been rising since Thursday, when an appeals court nullified Ozel’s election as CHP chairperson, suspending him and members of the party’s executive board.
The court ruling said Ozel should be replaced by Kemal Kilicdaroglu, his predecessor, who led the party for 13 years but never won any national elections.
Meanwhile, Ozel, in his first and only election as party leader, delivered a decisive blow to Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party in the 2024 municipal polls.

Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Ozgur Ozel (C) addresses a statement after a police raid on the party headquarters in Ankara, on May 24, 2026.
The opposition says the decision was politically motivated to weaken the party as it struggles under waves of legal cases targeting its members and elected officials.
Immediately after the raid began, Ozel posted a 3-minute video on social media in which he said, “We are under attack. Our crime? To make our party Turkey’s number one party after 47 years. Our crime? Defeating the Justice and Development Party.”
“We will resist here till the end. And if they forcibly remove us, we´ll resume our march towards (becoming) the administration in the public square,” he said.
The next presidential election isn’t due until 2028, but Erdogan can call for an early vote. His main challenger, Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a CHP member, has been imprisoned since March last year and is on trial on corruption charges.
Many observers have said the legal cases against the CHP – mostly centered on corruption allegations – are aimed at neutralizing the party ahead of the next election. The government insists that Turkey’s courts are impartial and act independently of political pressure.
The vast majority of the party has rallied behind Ozel. He and most of the party had been inside the CHP headquarters in the capital Ankara since Thursday’s ruling, with the new administration unable to enter. The rival teams were supposed to meet Sunday afternoon to figure a way out of the impasse.
Early on Sunday, a crowd gathered outside the office, watched by a growing police presence. In his social media video, Ozel said those outside had been sent to intimidate CHP members.
Kilicdaroglu’s lawyer, Celal Celik, sent a request to Ankara police to assist in vacating the building. The Ankara Governor’s office released a statement approving the request.
The police raid comes at the start of a nine-day holiday for the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha, when many people are on vacation and out of the big cities.
Erdogan has ruled Turkey, first as prime minister and then as president, since 2003. His electoral record suffered a setback in 2019, when the CHP seized control of several major cities in local elections. In Istanbul, Imamoglu emerged as a popular and charismatic figure who many felt could successfully topple Erdogan.

Michael Crichton warned about ideological contagions long before Hollywood succumbed to one of its own.
The late great author Michael Crichton gave Hollywood one of its biggest franchises, Jurassic Park — still going strong — and the television monster hit ER. Most of his novels became major films, including The Terminal Man, The Great Train Robbery, Rising Sun, and Timeline. Yet today, were Crichton a live white male instead of a dead one (he died in 2008), producers would ban him for having opposed their woke mind virus before it metastasized.
Crichton’s 1994 bestseller Disclosure depicted the dark side of the now Hollywood sacred cow, the Girlboss, at the time rising on both sides of the screen. In the book, the happily married protagonist’s hot ex-girlfriend — the Male Gaze not yet having been ideologically censored — and now boss, tries to seduce him. When he rebuffs her, she charges him with sexual harassment.
“Please understand that communists do this on purpose … They live for destroying beautiful things. Especially the ones most important to you.”
Already back then, Hollywood didn’t appreciate the theme of a straight white family man being destroyed by a professional woman. But it did appreciate the book’s commercial success (19 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, five at number one). So, Warner Bros bought and made Disclosure with two big stars. Unfortunately, one of them was the non-hot Demi Moore, who was getting every prominent female role in the Nineties, until Striptease — based on another huge bestseller by Carl Hiaasen — got her stripper act laughed off the screen. But Disclosure was a hit.
In 2004, the woke mind virus was starting to metastasize when Crichton published State of Fear, a novel blasting global warming — er, climate change — alarmism. Although another New York Times bestseller, Hollywood wouldn’t touch the book. By then, the Message began overruling the money.
Michael Crichton’s breakout bestseller, The Andromeda Strain (1969), the prototype for the scientific-medical thriller, could be a metaphor for current Hollywood. The novel starts with the entire population of a southwestern town wiped out by a mysterious space virus. An insulated team of scientists race against time to discover the nature of the germ and stop it from spreading. Yes, the mass public once read and popularized a technically complex book. It became a fine hit in 1971, with the movie directed by the masterful Robert Wise.
A similar team of experts may be needed to determine what killed Hollywood, where film and television critics once sufficed. The few people still working there may technically be alive, but the industry itself is crumbling to dust — like the bloodless corpses in The Andromeda Strain. I call the contagion the “Hollywoke Strain.” It may not consume the body, but most certainly the mind. Its latest victim is highly respected yet, in my view, very overrated director, Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight trilogy, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Oppenheimer).
There is endless proof that wokeness has devastated the screen trade. Mega-bomb exhibits A to Z: brown Snow White, Latino heavy West Side Story, girl power The Marvels, all-female Ghostbusters, gay Eternals, feminist Charlie’s Angels, gay-environmentalist Strange World, black The Little Mermaid, etcetera. Clearly, audiences have had enough of their traditional values and admirable characters getting displaced by delusion and degeneracy.
This month, entertainment insider website That Park Place reported that Disney executives are considering removing the last Star Wars trilogy — featuring a girl Jedi and humiliating deaths for the original heroes — from Star Wars canon. In much the same way, they removed Kathleen (“The Force is female”) Kennedy from the presidency of Lucasfilm. Her and her sisters’ galaxy has gotten far, farther away.
One of my favorite new follows on X is @SirBylHolt. William Holte is a gay black conservative who checklists the woke elements in films and series, so the rest of us don’t have to suffer through them. A recent target of his is the race-swapped remake of the 1986 Rob Lowe hockey picture Youngblood.
“While the original focused on hockey, fights, and romance, the new version heavily emphasizes RACISM,” posted Holte. “Opponents repeatedly call Dean ‘boy’ during games … Dean’s father tells him ‘They suspended you because you’re Black’ … And there’s even a locker room scene where Dean is told to ‘tone down’ his anger because it makes the white players ‘uncomfortable’ … Reviews describe it as an ‘anti-racist screed.’”
So, white and black audiences that enjoyed a movie about hockey in the 80s would now have to endure a remake about racism. Thanks to Holte, they won’t. Anyone who attends this nightmare will have their head pounded by something worse than a hockey stick — the Message.
Which brings us to Christopher Nolan. He may be an overrated director in my view, but he’s smart enough to know about the film-killing potency of the Hollywoke Strain. Yet instead of avoiding it, he appears to be injecting it, into his adaptation of one of the greatest and oldest classics of literature, The Odyssey.
How many people, myself included, would flock to a screen retelling of the Homeric epic, full of gods and monsters, heroes and battles, sirens and villains, and a man’s long voyage home to his wife and son. What we won’t accept is a feminist interpretation of one of the manliest tales of all time. And that’s precisely Nolan’s source for the material — Emily Wilson’s gender heavy, morally ambiguous, unromantic translation of the story.
We’re not thrilled by Matt Damon as Odysseus. We’re fine with Ann Hathaway as Penelope. We dislike Zendaya as Athena, goddess of wisdom. We welcome the beautiful Charlize Theron as the seductive demigoddess Calypso. But we’ll avoid like the plague a small deluded girl, Elliot Page, as the fearsome warrior Achilles, and a plain black woman, Lupita Nyong’o, as Helen of Troy, “the face that launched a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Illium.” (Christopher Marlowe, The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus)
What could possess Nolan to sabotage his and Homer’s work? Yes, the Hollywoke Strain, but something else, perfectly described by Jesse Kelly on X. “Please understand that communists do this on purpose … They live for destroying beautiful things. Especially the ones most important to you.”
https://spectator.org/the-hollywoke-strain/James Woods Shares DAMNING Laundry List of Just How Unhinged, Destructive, and VIOLENT Dems Are and WOW

James Woods should really learn how to express himself; he's so shy.
Heh.
Actually, Woods lit up X Sunday morning with a no-holds-barred graphic laying out a damning pattern the mainstream media, Hollywood, and Leftists in general refuse to acknowledge.
The post connects the dots on a long string of high-profile assassinations, assassination attempts, and acts of domestic mayhem — all tied directly to Democrat politics or leftist ideology.
Take a look at this:
When you look at Democrats that way ... yup.
Woods’ point is crystal clear: these aren't random crimes. It’s a consistent track record of targeting conservatives, Republicans, and anyone who stands in the way of radical progressive goals.
*cough cough*
This.
In an age when the left loves to scream about ‘threats to democracy’ while ignoring actual bullets fired at Republican presidents and lawmakers, Woods’ post cuts through the gaslighting. It forces readers to confront an uncomfortable truth: the same political movement that claims the moral high ground has produced a body count that spans more than a century. If Democrats want to lecture the country about ‘violence,’ maybe they should start by looking in the mirror.
https://twitchy.com/samj/2026/05/24/james-woods-shares-damning-laundry-list-of-just-how-unhinged-destructive-and-violent-dems-are-and-wow-n2428526Wait, This Democrat Candidate Refuses To Say the Pledge?

Unearthed social media posts from California congressional candidate Mai Vang show that she has refused to recite the Pledge of Allegiance according to a new report from the New York Post.
Vang, who is running in California’s Seventh District and currently resides on the Sacramento City Council, has been seen refusing to place her hand over her heart during the pledge and has turned her back to the American flag on numerous occasions while attending council meetings.
Vang first took to Facebook to publicly express the reason for her unpatriotic decision in February of last year, just days after President Donald Trump took office for the second time.
“And this is exactly why I choose not to recite the Pledge of Allegiance during every council meeting,” Vang said on social media. “As much as I love this country, I use that moment to ground myself - to center our communities and remind myself of the injustices and harm that continue to affect so many, both locally and across the globe, under this nation’s influence.”
“We must not tune out - they want us to become numb to the realities we see in the news - it’s part of the plan to keep us complacent,” Vang continued. “But instead, we resist. We surround ourselves with loved ones, take time to rest, remain vigilant, and stay steadfast in the fight for equity, justice & humanity.”
Despite adopting the performative tactics of poorly-polling candidates seeking attention, Vang is a serious contender in her race. Vang boasted of a poll that showed her just two points behind Democrat incumbent Rep. Doris Matsui. The “informed ballot” produced by the Vang campaign shows that she jumps to a 5 point lead over Matsui in the race.
The lack of respect for the flag isn’t the only slight Vang has shown against those she is seeking to represent. Vang faced significant backlash for posting a video to TikTok where she mocked Americans and American culture.
Vang will face off in a jungle primary on June 2.
