They say even a broken clock is right twice a day. Communists, on the other hand, are almost never right and Cornel West is up there as one of the most often to be wrong. He embraces BLM, Critical Race Theory, and everything that falls under the Social Justice umbrella.
That’s why it’s so surprising that he really did get one right.
In a Tweet, West laid out the perspectives that are shared by those who oppose the UniParty Swamp from both the left and the right. The NeoCon inspired and Obama-Biden manufactured war in Ukraine needs to end and West pointed out who’s really at fault [emphasis added]:
Let us not be deceived: NATO is an expanding instrument of U.S. global power that provoked Russia into a criminal invasion and occupation of Ukraine. This proxy war between the American Empire and the Russian Federation could lead to World War III. We must stop the war and war crimes (including cluster bombs used by all parties) and embark on diplomatic talks that should lead to a just peace. As the great W. E. B. Du Bois wrote in 1945 “I seem to see outlined a third World War based on the suppression of Asia and the strangling of Russia.” The Democratic Party is a party of war and Wall Street targeting Russia and China. Let us save our democracy and world by dismantling U.S. militarism at home (as in Cop Cities) and abroad – as Martin Luther King Jr. painfully reminded us!

Patriot Patrick Byrne noted the Tweet and told a story of his encounter with West:
Good for Brother Cornel.
A year ago, speaking in Rochester, New York, I ran into Brother Cornel at the airport, both of us rushing for different flights. I saw him and said, “Brother Cornell, I respect your work. I enjoyed ‘Race Matters.’” he looked at me and evidently… https://t.co/5wBEnQlTL5

10 minutes later, I was boarding in my gate, Dr. West at his, and they were across from each other. We caught each other both turning and staring at the other. I deeply regret I did not get out of line and see if we could not sit for 10 minutes.

This may be the only time Cornel West says something that makes sense. Remember this day fondly.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
