Exposé on Woke Capital Lands on Wall Street Journal’s Best Books of 2021 List
The Dictatorship of Woke Capital, a book that exposes the woke efforts of the nation’s top corporations, was listed as one of the Wall Street Journal’s books of the year. The book, which was written by Stephen Soukup, exposes corporations like Blackrock for pushing woke policies in the United States while doing business with China – a country that commits genocides and censors dissidents. The Journal praised Soukup for providing an “exceptionally useful presentation of the intellectual origins and present-day lunacies of woke capitalism.”

Facebook May Be Doomed
Facebook is in a world of hurt. It may not survive. (Fingers crossed!) Last week I pointed out that the Wall Street Journal’s revelation of a secret whitelist of favored Facebook users underscored the pressing need for Facebook to hire a raft of center/right employees, not just as a matter of fairness or even of sensible treatment of customers, but for its own survival. If its management, along with befuddled censorship steward Nick Clegg, really believed that objectively fair censorship had been achieved because conservatives were demanding less of it and liberals more, then Facebook bid fair to make everyone its enemy.

European Energy Prices Set Records
Prices in the U.K have jumped... Gas and coal-fired electricity plants were called in to make up the shortfall from wind. Natural-gas prices, already boosted by the pandemic recovery and a lack of fuel in storage caverns and tanks, hit all-time highs.
