President Trump Indicted: The Real Insurrection Is In Progress

Thursday, March 30th, 2023

This incredibly despicable act by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg(Sorosian – NY) is all the evidence you should need to know just a few things:

  1. If Donald Trump survives the impending arrest, booking, and arraignment, you must lend all your support to him.
  2. If he does not survive the process to which he will be subjected, you must be prepared for imminent war.
  3. An all-out attack on America is imminent.

I am prepared to lend all possible support to President Trump, the legitimate President of the United States of America.  What we are witnessing may well be the finalization of the coup d’etat that had begun on 3 November, 2020. Unfortunately, as I have explained at length elsewhere, I do not believe they intend to let him survive this process.  What is the only way to guarantee he will never hold office again?  This ridiculous indictment won’t do it.  Even a conviction would not necessarily stop him from being elected and serving from the jailhouse.  No, there is only one way to be sure he is not elected and does not serve another term as President.

If, as I have feared, they use this opportunity to assassinate him, you must be prepared for whatever comes next, and even should they fail, you must be prepared for what will likely follow.  Our enemies are gathered.  They surround us now.  They are rioting in the capitals of two states at this very moment, and my suspicion is that we will see more.  Just as Israel now faces destruction at the hands of its own traitors and malcontents, so too are we primed for such an operation.  It has always been the case since the Second World War that should the United States fall, all the world will plummet into darkness. Every demonic regime on the planet will now go full-tilt, and the puppet Biden will carry out their agenda here upon the American people.

I am not suggesting that you attack anyone, but I’m telling you to prepare for the war that is already waging against you because it may soon become open, hostile warfare.  Expect China to utilize this moment.  Expect anything, and prepare.  Expect our own “deep state” to use this moment to openly attack Russia directly.

This government is now in open insurrection against the American people, and truly, elements of our federal government have been in quiet infiltration and insurrection since Donald Trump’s election in 2016.  The media is the mouthpiece for the true insurrectionists who have been operating mostly in the open ever since.

Take a moment to gather your thoughts.  Our forbears were confronted with equally awful crises.  Flying-off the handle provided them no comfort or solution.  Yes, it is every bit the crisis you are perceiving this event to be.  Yes, our country now hangs by a fraying thread, the rule of law and any semblance of Justice having been disposed unceremoniously by the US DOJ and their cohorts in Manhattan, Atlanta, and countless other locales.

I suspect part of the timing was to permit Ron DeSantis to redeem himself on his earlier failures to address the weaponization of the Justice system last week. Now, having learned that lesson, he will certainly say something more useful.  Just as Bush hack Karl Rove, who is the ultimate devil in Republican clothing has openly admitted he’s part of the DeSantis operation, you can bet he will press this advantage.

The communists now run your country.  These people are every bit as vile and evil as their forerunners.  Make no mistake: The war has always been against you.  It may be about to go from cold to hot.

Pray, if you’re so-inclined.

Winning the Culture War

Thursday, March 23rd, 2023

End of the World, or End of Media Oligopoly?

Andrew Breitbart famously admonished conservatives that “politics is downstream of culture.” His observation was shrewdly accurate, inasmuch as the titans of media have been using popular culture on behalf of their invariably leftist talking points and agenda for decades.  People who don’t adhere to leftist politics are generally banished from popular culture, left to toil away on more obscure websites, or in AM talk radio.  As the geniuses who want to shove electric vehicles down our throats have made plain, there will be no AM talk radio because they’re unable to make AM radio work with their electric vehicles due to electromagnetic noise created by their vehicles.  They intend to limit your media sources, but AM radio has remained the one place they haven’t been able to conquer, despite numerous attempts.  They will therefore destroy it.  Now enter the segment of the media they may hate most of all, because at present, it remains out of their complete control: The Internet.  When non-leftist culture launches from the Internet to assault one of their pillars of media dominance, in this case, music, they’re none too happy about it.  Country performer John Rich and hip-hop independent performer Tom MacDonald have launched an all-out assault on the multi-billion dollar music media empire, and they’re succeeding, despite all the attempts to bury them. Why? How are they doing it?  They have a message that is permeating popular culture, and crossing boundaries between music genres.  If conservatives ever hope to vanquish the left politically, they need first to gain at least a foothold in popular culture beyond talk radio.  By assaulting the beaches of big music, the duo may be creating an opportunity to recapture some of that imprisoned cultural real estate we’ve long given up for lost.

Last week, they dropped a new video into the marketplace, and it’s raising eyebrows, but it’s also getting toes tapping and people singing and rapping along.  That’s right.  My wife said the song may be an actual “ear-worm.”  More than that, however, it offers to become a cultural ear-worm.  It’s speaking to many, and when combined with the captivating, entertaining video produced by MacDonald’s girlfriend, Nova Rockafeller, the overall effect is piercing.  It cuts directly through the mainstream pop-culture narratives, directly to the heart of our national, and more broadly, Western, cultural struggles.  Here’s the chorus:

“We stood on top of mountains, we’ve been to space before,

we had our dogs in houses, we dug up dinosaurs.

We built those bombs you’re dropping, we fought in all your wars.

Now that the sky is falling, what did we do it for?”

Here’s the entire video, from Rumble:


While the video is certainly compelling, and the music certainly works well, what I find interesting is that the two performers are very different people, who generally serve up completely different sorts of music.  That they blended hip-hop with country in a coherent, cohesive way, while pushing what one would have to consider a unifying message is certainly attention-getting.  On Wednesday evening, the two hosted a talk on YouTube that was equally interesting.  To listen to the two, you’d have a hard time discerning their underlying viewpoints, despite the wildly different look of the two.  The message:  Appearance is only skin-deep.

While a little lengthy, this livestream was recorded and is on MacDonald’s youtube channel:

I expect that a fair number of people in this audience are more familiar with Rich than with MacDonald.  That said, it’s worth noting that MacDonald is a social-commentator via rap, and he’s said plenty of very controversial things in the past.  The mainstream music media paints him as “offensive,” but given what I’ve seen out of modern popular music, it challenges credulity to argue anything he’s ever said could be more offensive than Cardi B’s “WAP,” which I will not further discuss here… or anywhere.

Here’s one of MacDonald’s previous videos, and I must admit, one that I have actually enjoyed:

Now, if you wonder how much affect all of this could have in popular culture, you need to examine a genre on Youtube with which you may not be familiar: The reaction video.

Surf over to YouTube and search for the following:  “End of the World Reaction.” Be prepared to have your eyes opened by the way in which music and music videos have an effect on people, and through them, the culture at large.

“End of the World” is available on Amazon and iTunes.

The Unraveling of America Is Imminent(With updates)

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023

Image as fake as the case in question… But the danger is real…

People ask me about the news sources to which I pay attention.  They ask me “how did you know this was going to happen?”  I confided in a co-worker in January of 2020 that the brewing pandemic was about taking Trump out of office, and as the news developed over the following weeks, my colleague remarked that it was all spookily as I’d predicted.  Let me state clearly that I am no Nostradamus.  I have no special gift of foresight. I am also far from infallible.  I’ve been wrong innumerable times.  I’ve also been right a number of times when it mattered.  I don’t here pretend that I know what’s next, but only some idea of that which could be next.  In January of 2020, watching and reading the reports come in, and the way the reports were being presented in media, I knew an operation of some sort was afoot.  At first, it was a sinking feeling in my gut, but by the time the “15 days to stop the spread” was announced, my mind was in four-alarm fire.  I’m at three-alarm now, edging toward the fourth, and other trusted voices are beginning to voice it too.  That could be confirmation bias, but it might also be that they’re independently seeing the same or similar things, and that their gut reactions to them are similar.  On Saturday, I warned of the real, undeniable threat posed to President Donald J. Trump by this “arrest” business.  For two days running, Bongino has echoed that concern.  Today, at the Conservative Treehouse, Sundance wrote of a similar concern, if not directly, then at least by implication.  We may see a hammer fall, or a series of them.  I do not believe this is coincidental.  I want you to pay clear attention to what I am saying: Do NOT be provoked into hasty acts of ill-considered reaction, but DO prepare to take such actions as may become necessary.  I pray that I am wrong, and that I’m misreading events, but I believe the unraveling of the republic has been engineered and may now be imminent. The pictures of Trump’s arrest are certainly fake, but the danger to him is still real.

The most important domestic news sources I follow are as follows:

Some of you are now asking: “What are you on about, Mark?” On Saturday, Sundance at CTH wrote the following near the conclusion of an inspiring post(to which I would refer you in full here):

“Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.”

Initially, this posting made me feel somewhat guilty for having posted as I had, only a few hours before. While I’m virtually certain it was not aimed at me, I nevertheless felt that I should perhaps revisit my words, to rethink whether I might be over-the-top in my worries. Was I seeing a bogeyman that was a mirage created by the heat waves of my own biases? To understand a little about my thinking, you should probably understand my general orientation with respect to such things.  The specifics of what I do are much less important than the methodology I use to do them.  I engineer and maintain systems that serve a particular type of organization.  The most important aspect is, to use the euphemism: Business continuity. In terms of methodology, it’s very similar to concepts of “continuity of government,” and this means optimizing systems to continue operations under any circumstance, perhaps diminished in capacity, but nevertheless to continue.  This means an extraordinary gaming-out of potential scenarios under which our systems and our organization might be forced to operate.  It means examining all of the parameters, and trying to game out all of the dynamic aspects of all of the moving pieces.  We don’t operate in a static world.  If one small thing changes within a system, or the environment within which that system operates, it can wildly affect the outcome of events.  Trying to plan for how to respond to the myriad possibilities is in large measure what my day-job is all about.

With that in mind, as I’ve continued to think about my posting on the Martyrdom of Donald Trump, gathering new information and adding it to the pile of considerations, sorting through it all, to separate wheat and chaff, I keep coming back to the base assumptions.  Bongino touched on this Wednesday in the second hour of his radio show, but I don’t think I can put enough emphasis on the point.  When considering a set of scenarios, you make some baseline assumptions.  Some of them are so basic that we don’t bother to repeat them.  Those things are like these: We’re on Earth, man is mortal, the sun will rise tomorrow morning whether clouds or smoke obscure it or not, and time continues to tick away.  That’s all obvious stuff, and pretty rock-solid.  The problem comes in when we begin to subsume things into this ubiquitous list of conditions that do not belong there.  An example:

“In the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.” – President John F. Kennedy in an address at American University, Washington, DC, 10 June 1963

Is this a set of assumptions that are equally true? Pick it apart, and you’ll realize it is not. Yes, we inhabit this small planet, and yes, we are all mortal, but if live in East Palestine, Ohio, versus Davos Switzerland, you most assuredly do not breathe the same air, and it should go without saying that there are innumerable people who do not cherish their children’s futures. Another example of this had been all the discussions about how the people of the Middle East want freedom and self-governance just as much as we do. Not only was that contention a bad set of assumptions about a region’s populace, but it had been also a lethally flawed and bankrupt argument about our own culture.  We are surrounded by people who want neither political freedom nor anything like self-governance.

You might suggest that this is obvious, and perhaps to you and I, it is, but there are plenty of less-engaged people who take such assertions at face value.  They’re always stunned when it turns out that their government had lied to them, or that their spouse had been shagging the pool-boy. I go to such pains to point this out because in so many contexts, we fail to examine our various assumptions before evaluating a circumstance or scenario.  It’s quite easy to do.  People do it all the time.  “But this is America!”  Or: “But this shouldn’t be possible in 2023!”  Or more simply: “But I’m an American!”

Now this is must all be applied to our current scenario.  People make foolish assumptions about the motives of others.  People make even more foolish assumptions about the willingness of others to attend to and adhere to their motives.  Let us think this through:  What is the motive of people who wish to indict President Trump?  On the surface, we are told it is simply “to enact justice.”  Nobody really believes this announced public motive, not even the most mind-numbed of the leftist sheep.  Dan Bongino likes to point out the “and then what?” question.  Think of it this way: “I’m going to run over there and grab that tiger by the tail.”  Bongino would ask: “And then what?”

“We’re going to indict and arrest President Trump[on a bunch of phony charges that have legally expired if they were ever valid.]”

“And then what?”

In a sane world, the answer would be that Trump would beat the charge and be vindicated, but all of this is based on some assumptions that don’t hold up to inspection:  They’re seeking justice.  They’ll play fairly and within the law.  If they lose under the law, they’ll follow the law and then leave him be.  Do you believe any of these assumptions?  If they were seeking justice, they wouldn’t even be considering charging him.  Even now, the story has broken that they’re concealing exculpatory evidence.  So much for playing fairly and within the law.  If they lose, you think they will simply give up and go away?

If you believe any of those assumptions, I’d urge you to be present during the pool-boy’s next visit, lest your naiveté continue to abuse you.

Let’s go back to the beginning.  If justice isn’t their motive, then what other motives might they have?  Money?  Power?  If it’s one of those, to what end?  One could argue that political means can deliver both, and I believe it’s fair to say that the objectives are political. They must know that by parading Trump in cuffs will serve his narrative about the state of our country, but not theirs. Bongino points out rightly that if Trump is right about the existence of a “deep state,” then no better evidence for it might be constructed than the concocted political prosecution and arrest of Donald Trump.  In short, arresting him and dragging him into an arraignment actually ends up serving his political aims, because it’s tantamount to a confession that they’re everything he has said they are.

These people are diabolical, but they are not stupid. They know how this will be seen by the public at large.  They know they have a weak case that will likely be overturned in the long run, and that any such thing again only serves President Trump’s political aims, but not theirs. Our assumption here is that this a nakedly political prosecution, and it certainly is, at the surface, but there’s much more to this.  You see, I’m not nearly the only person war-gaming all of this.  They’ve war-gamed it too.  This is meaningful, because it means that they’re willing to go forward with this indictment and arraignment irrespective of its political costs to them.  Since these are people who are willing to do most anything for the sake of politics, this should serve as an alarm that something is wrong with our assumptions about why they’re willing to go forward with this indictment and arraignment.

From here, I diverge into two possibilities. Let us deal with the first.  The first is that they are irrational actors, and are motivated by revenge of some sort toward Trump and his legion of supporters.  While I have no doubt but that there is an extensive rank-and-file element that fits this description, the people driving this train are not irrational actors. They may exploit irrationalism on their side, such as the BLM and Antifa rank-and-file, but they’re not irrational.  Bongino asked “Is Bragg stupid, or does he just not care?”  He forgets another alternative: Bragg is neither stupid, nor irrational, and he’s doing all of this as a planned operation.

If we consider this third alternative, it makes more sense.  All of this makes more sense if we understand that the object of this entire situation is not to arrest Trump to humiliate him politically, since it won’t, but will instead serve to increase his credibility: The so-called Deep State is definitely after him.  It isn’t to actually enact some form of justice, because it cannot, since this entire situation is the negation of justice but not service to it.  If, as I surmised on Saturday, this is intended to intentionally place Trump in a situation where he can be gotten-to, and Bragg is doing it for that purpose, then all of it makes sense.

Remember, the political actors involved have demonstrated repeatedly over the last two decades that obtaining and exercising political power is their primary object, and that they have no compunction whatever about wiping people out, even right in front of our eyes.  What makes you think they are any less willing to eliminate Trump? After all, if you assume that their objective with this prosecution is to embarrass him, you must ask: To what end?  Theoretically, it would be to cut into his support among the American people.  If you’ve already ascertained that this would not be the result, but that instead, you might well strengthen his political standing with the electorate, why would you proceed?  You would not.

If the aim of this is to serve the political power objectives of the left, the immediate objective being to prevent Trump from being re-elected to the presidency, but the indictment and arraignment will not, in and of themselves, serve that political end, why would you do it?  There it is.  It’s right there.  Your assumptions must include that these people are willing to play within the law, or that they have lawful means in mind, or that they will rely upon lawful actors and lawful processes.  As I said on Saturday, let me repeat now: It doesn’t matter how it comes to pass that Donald Trump does not run for the presidency in 2024, so much as it matters to them that he does not run.

The salve they will offer for that gaping wound consists of this: “Well, at least you still have Ron DeSantis.”

All of this plays out as DeSantis creeps closer to a campaign launch.

Naturally, this assumes a purely domestic political agenda, but what if this is larger than purely domestic motives?  After all, the United States has long served as the stumbling block to larger global agendas, from our first amendment to our second; from our due process to our standard of living.  Bongino touched on this Wednesday, and gave reference to another story brought to us by Sundance over at the Last Refuge.  It seems things are breaking-down severely in France.  While another round of protests in that country surprises no one, this may be different.  Macron’s raising of the retirement age from 62 to 64 effectively by fiat may have struck a larger nerve in France.  The situation there now seems to be escalating, and as the country begins to break down, the last norms of civil conduct being discharged in favor of civil disobedience and worse, one begins to wonder what would happen in the aftermath of a tragic event here in the United States.

Remember, Bragg works for Soros.  Soros has been working hard to undermine the US for a long time.  That’s the primary reason behind his funding of the various District Attorneys around the country. It’s why he funds Antifa and all of the NGOs, including the ones collaborating to create an invasion at our Southern border.  They have been busy seeding chaos in our country for many years, and his only interests in US domestic politics is how it serves his global agenda.  If his aim has been to destroy the dollar all these years, ever since he successfully broke the bank of England, he knew he would have to strike at our soft underbelly.  He knew he would need to convince some number of us to destroy ourselves.  Look around. How much of the chaos you see in media or witness with your own eyes daily was actually birthed by some Soros-funded operation?  There is a growing library of what I term “little dirtbag videos,” of some scumbag assaulting an old man, or attacking a child, or otherwise preying upon our civil society, almost all of which occur in some Soros-backed criminal sanctuary like New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, or other locale.

The whole of our society is fracturing, and coming apart at the seams.  Many people now long for some sort of vigilantism.  Others speak openly of civil war.  We are being pushed toward the brink.  What would it take to shove us over the edge?  A banking collapse?  The tragic in-custody assassination of a beloved and hated former president?

The warning signs are there.  When they start creating fake images of Trump’s arrest, they’re trying to engender more hatred and rage amongst the left, or maybe even more outrage among us. Either way, this isn’t a good thing, and it’s being carried out with careful planning.

On Wednesday morning, as I began to peruse all of my usual news sources, I naturally headed over to the Treehouse to see what Sundance had to say. There it was, and I was both relieved and dismayed, in the first instance because somebody else was seeing similar darkness, but in the second instance because it’s a terrifying sort of confirmation. Said Sundance:

“At a certain point you have to wonder if the scale of the “dual justice” visibility is not intended to provoke a political crisis. If this is the motive, we are heading to a very dark place.”(emphasis mine.)

It wasn’t too much later that I listened to Bongino’s radio show, during which he repeated certain aspects of his concern for President Trump’s safety that had featured prominently in his podcast earlier in the day.  Here’s Wednesday’s Bongino podcast from Rumble:


Bragg indicts and arrests Trump? And then what? He’s taken into custody to be fingerprinted, and be arraigned. Then what? Trump is assassinated going into, during or upon release from custody? And then what?  The whole of the MAGA following goes out on a mass general strike. Then what? The cities begin to fail for lack of… everything.  Then what?  We make France’s current troubles look like a picnic at the beach.  Then what?  George Soros and his cohorts finally win.  That’s one possible scenario.

Pay attention to Israel too. Things are starting to look pretty sporty over there at the moment.

In the last twenty minutes of Bongino’s radio show, he ran with a breaking story about the fact that the DA may have been hiding exculpatory evidence in the Trump case, perhaps as many as 600 pages of documents. I suspect this is the underlying cause for the delays now being reported widely, including here by Sundance.

In short, the wheels may be coming off already, but this could also be a delay for another unstated reason.  They may eventually still carry out all of this, and to the worst possible effect.  The problem is what I said nearer the top of this post:  Things are dynamic.  Monkey-wrenches get dropped(or thrown) into machinery.  Sometimes that results in a full stop, or sometimes just a delay.  Sometimes, there is another material change in the underlying environment, or the broader set of circumstances.  The point is that it’s always fluid, and you must be able to adapt your thinking and your assumptions to new information, new inputs, surprise events, and anything else that might crop-up.  The hardest thing for which you must account is all the things that you do not know, or worse, that you do not know that you do not know.

What I can say with certainty at this moment is that Trump is in extreme danger.  Whatever dark imaginings I might have, I’m not inclined to abandon them until their potential has expired. It’s how I’m built, for better or worse.  I must also stress that I am not in the predictions business, for a whole host of reasons. What I do is to prepare for changes to the circumstances in which I operate.  Let me stress this to you.  What I am telling you is that this is a time to have one’s head on a swivel and to be prepared for whatever happens. The point of this exercise is to be able to sort through what is to be done if a given event occurs.  Specifically, what will I do if/when [event] happens? If there are preferred outcomes, are there ways to influence events so that the outcomes are closer to my preferences?  What are those things? The entire purpose of war-gaming all of this out is to react with well-planned actions, rather than with ill-considered, ad hoc reactions, and to perhaps influence events before they happen, or while they occur. Why do you think President Trump posted about this on Saturday morning?  Yes, he was informing all of us, but it’s also true that he’s trying to influence events, as he should.

As this goes to press, Mark Levin is throwing gasoline on the bonfire that should become Alvin Bragg’s non-case case. He’s also warned that we should be wary of so-called legal analysts who will try to immediately shift to telling us the Georgia case or the DC Special Persecutor case is a “much better case.” For reasons he’s made abundantly clear on Wednesday’s show, we should lend no more credibility to these cases than the current spectacle in NYC. Even if the New York case implodes, and Trump avoids being persecuted in that venue, do not doubt that they will try again and again, because I don’t believe they’re after a simple political outcome.  On the other hand, in light of the new information of Wednesday afternoon and evening, if Bragg continues, you can be virtually assured that he’s after something more than President Trump’s legal scalp.

UPDATE: Sundance at CTH, ever on top of things, got the very letter Levin read on-air this evening.  See HERE.

The Unavoidable Reckoning in the GOP Over Trump

Thursday, February 23rd, 2023

It’s the truth. Say it like you mean it.

Exasperated.  Disgusted.  Flummoxed.  Enraged.  These are just a few of the words that describe my reaction to the surrender-class in the GOP.  Nothing sickens me more, frankly, because these people don’t want to win.  They’d prefer to keep on losing.  They’re fine with election theft, so long as the phrase never publicly crosses their lips.  It’s as though they believe, childlike in their naïveté, that by simply refusing to name the enemy, the enemy will magically disappear.  For a long while, I thought they were earnest, but as evidence is disclosed, and as more information becomes too obvious to ignore, they choose not to see it, know it, or at the very least, simply acknowledge it.  You see, it’s the political version of the silly attempt to ignore a bully.  In all my life, I’ve yet to meet a single bully you can ignore into reformation or surrender.  Instead, the bully simply sees your inaction and your feigned lack of attention as an invitation to attack you all the more viciously.  The only way to overcome a bully is to beat his or her ass into submission.  Only this offers any chance that they’ll self-reform.  Only this offers a long-term peace as a possible outcome.  Foolishly, as we reckon with the fact that the bullies we face at home are our most lethal enemy, it’s as though some among our number think that softly-worded, evasive tweets will get it done.  This is leading us to an unavoidable reckoning in the GOP, but we must be ready for this internecine conflict.  We cannot defeat our enemies abroad until we defeat our enemies at home, and we cannot defeat our enemies at home until we confront their collaborators in our own party.  We will not find victory over them until we can summon the courage to openly speak the truth.  It’s time to have this fight, if it’s not too late already.

I like Kurt Schlicter a good deal.  He writes some very intelligent things, and at times, I find myself very much in accord with his thinking, but on Wednesday, his Tweeting rubbed me raw, and I responded to him in what I’d ordinarily consider an unnecessarily profane way.  It was his assertion that Trump had lost in 2020, whether it was stolen or not, because Biden occupies the White House:

I hear and read people who speak of this as pragmatism.  It isn’t.  It’s surrender-justifying, conflict-avoidance twaddle.  When a car-jacker catches me off-guard and unprepared, relieving me of my vehicle, according to Schlicter’s logic, I no longer own a car, effectively.  The facts of the law don’t matter.  Justice doesn’t matter.  I am now car-less, and I should now accept this fate, particularly if the car-jacker can somehow manage to go down to the DMV and collaborate with workers there to re-register the car fraudulently in his name.  Perhaps he thinks I should continue to make the payments.  Perhaps he thinks I should just walk away.  I can’t understand this sort of thinking.  I can’t fathom how one advises the American people to simply accept the election theft of 2020, and 2022, and probably 2018 too.  Why?  On what basis does one believe that the election of 2024 won’t be stolen?  Because you hadn’t named it?  The words hadn’t crossed your lips?  This is absurd thinking, but as much as I like Schlicter, here he’s leapfrogged several bridges too far.  Even could I join him in his mindset, it would offer me only a short respite until the next inevitable set of election crimes are consummated in 2024.

I’m not suggesting Schlicter is a bad guy.  I don’t believe that at all.  He’s no RINO.  He’s no coward. I believe if it came down to it, he’d fight to the death for this country.  It’s just that in this false normalcy, we’re all a bit squishy.  As mentioned above, I tend to agree with him on a wide range of issues, but this is where I fall away.  You see, in my view, based on his own statements on Twitter and elsewhere(townhall.com,) Schlicter is clear that he thinks that there had been excessive shenanigans in 2020.  Translation: They stole it and he knows it.

The problem lies in the evasive weasel-wording used to convey this message.  Worse, in my view, is the fait accompli acceptance of the crime. It’s as though Kurt is telling us that we should simply accept that a wide-ranging conspiracy or coordinated conspiracies to commit treason against the United States must be accepted.  Even if the venues in which such crimes could be proven have been closed-off to us, because the legal gatekeepers and the media praetorian guards are part of the conspiracy, we must ultimately accept it, by his logic.  After all, Biden is in the White House, right?  This relates directly to what I posted on Wednesday: We’re already overrun.  The enemy is here, amongst us, and I’ll tell you why we’re intent upon all of this soft-selling:

We’re cowards.  All of us.  We deserve the catastrophe we’re now experiencing.  Not me, nor any of my readers, nor any I know are willing to step forward and put everything on the line.  The whole thing has been rigged, and we know that justice is being used against us just like it’s being used against the legitimate protestors of January 6th, or the parents who’ve spoken out at school board meetings.  We’ve seen it coming incrementally for three generations, and most of us remained silent, going on with our lives in a form of sleep-walking.  This is what a communist takeover looks like it, and the only thing to stop it now will be us, summoning our courage, starting with public statements of the unabashed truth:

We are being governed by treasonous criminals who disguised a coup d’etat as an election, or a series of them.  The people arrayed against us function precisely like a Mafia, and the bulk of the administrative state has been converted to equally corrupt adjuncts to that operation.  The media is part of it.  Hollywood is part of it.  Our entire education system has been co-opted and is now another appendage of this monster.  We are being governed by a foreign cabal, not all necessarily foreign by birth, but certainly in values and aculturation.  This is why the Bidens travel to Ukraine and to Africa as Americans live under a spreading fog of dangerous chemicals from Eastern Ohio to the Atlantic.  The people who govern us have more in common with the CEO of Norfolk Southern, and clearly, he’s not too worried about it.

I don’t blame Kurt Schlicter for saying things about Trump and the stolen election in the way that he has.  He’s taking the path least likely to get him cancelled, mocked, or ridiculed(or worse.) Hell, Dan Bongino isn’t willing to say too much more, despite being the most gutsy guy in media. I don’t blame those who think they can somehow win in 2024 with somebody other than Trump, but for the fatal flaw in their reasoning.  I’m going to say this now, and say it clearly, so that all of the nominally Republican and conservative folk, and all those inclined to poll with them can understand:

You must begin to call out the truth you know, but have been afraid to say, or you will never win the White House again in any of our lifetimes.  Donald Trump is the only Republican who can win in 2024.  Why?

In the end, he’s the only one willing to unashamedly declare that which should be painfully obvious to every sane and honest person who observed the elections of 2020.  If Trump can’t find a way to win, none of them will.  Donald Trump was the only candidate in 2016 willing to tell you all the painful truths you did not want to hear, not merely about the Democrats, but about your own party.  You won’t save the nation by lying, or by ducking the truth.  It’s no different than the fools who argue against communism by saying “well, a little socialism is okay.”  It’s like the Republicans who pretend we can out-Democrat the Democrats.

Be of good cheer, but tell the unvarnished truth.  All of it.

Let me start: Trump won! Biden is illegitimate. The enemy is here, more and more openly among us.

Say it! Mock people who will not admit it. Scorn people who deny it.

 

@RichardGrenell’s #FakeNews

Wednesday, May 11th, 2022

Grenell “Joins” #FakeNews

On Wednesday morning, I awoke to a burgeoning controversy on Twitter. While controversies on Twitter are roughly as common as Tweets on Twitter, this one was more troubling.  In this case, former Ambassador Richard “Ric” Grenell was electioneering on behalf of Dr. Mehmet Oz, a Trump-endorsed candidate for the US Senate seat in Pennsylvania.  Oz is known to be a RINO, let’s face it, and in the race, the two other serious candidates are Dave McCormick, another probable deep-state goon, and a genuine, hard-working, authentic woman named Kathy Barnette.  A recent poll in the state by the Trafalgar Group showed Barnette rapidly closing on Dr. Oz, who has the advantage of what I consider a sorely misguided Trump endorsement.  Oz has infamously advocated for gender transitioning of minors, and all sorts of leftist garbage.  It’s a complete mystery to me (and many Pennsylvanians) why Trump would endorse this dirtbag. Nevertheless, seeing that Kathy Barnette is fast-closing on Dr. Oz with the primary election only one week away, Grenell cherry-picked a tweet and tried to use it to defame Barnette. Here’s Grenell’s tweet(screen capture here in case deleted):

Obviously, either Grenell didn’t bother to look further, or he intended to mislead those reading his tweets. Grenell is a sophisticated man, and while there’s some slight possibility it was just laziness, I rather doubt it. With this tweet, Grenell has added himself to my list of snakes.

Here’s what you find when you bother to dig just a little more deeply. When you go to look at Barnette’s actual tweet, you see she’s using the hashtags to call attention to a video on her Facebook page, not to promote the hashtags:

When you go to that tweet, you find her actual Facebook video:

If you follow the link to the video, you quickly realize that Kathy was mournfully criticizing #BLM and #DefundThePolice.

Why did Ric Grenell decide to defame Kathy Barnette?  Is it because he supports Dr. Oz?  Apparently.  In this case, he was either too lazy to discover the truth, or too dishonest to show you the truth.  Either way, it speaks ill of him.  Kathy Barnette is a fantastic candidate for the US Senate, and President Trump should have endorsed her rather than Dr. Oz.  We’ll never know why, but if people as dishonest as Ric Grenell appears to have been in this case are bending President Trump’s ear on the matter, we can guess why he might think Oz the better candidate.

Pennsylvania, you have the first chance in a long time to put a real America-First candidate in the US Senate.  Kathy Barnette is that candidate.  Ric Grenell has rightly earned the scorn of many on Twitter for this lazy or dishonest tweet.  The disappointment is breath-taking.  Conservatives are furious.  He deserves it.  He should immediately correct the record, apologize to Kathy Barnette, and stop commenting further on this race.  It’s despicable, and many of us, myself included, had thought Grenell was better than this.

Yeah, not so much.

Editor’s Note: The reason the RINOs are getting nervous and resorting to these tactics is this poll from Trafalgar Group:

The Crisis of Truth in Ukraine

Thursday, March 10th, 2022

What don’t they want us to see?

One of the problems you face in trying to discern what’s going on in Ukraine is the almost complete black-out of facts on the ground.  We’re simply not getting much information, and while we get reports of things that happen, many times, too frequently in fact, these reports are later debunked or revised in such a way as to make what’s really going on very murky and unintelligible.  On Wednesday, there was a report of a maternity ward in a hospital being struck by the Russians.  I’ve heard no follow-up reports, but I don’t consider the story factual until I see some sort of confirmation that it’s real.  We’ve all been burned too many times already in this conflict, by ridiculous fake news, almost all of it either for the Ukrainians, or against the Russians.  “Snake Island,” “Ghost of Kiev,” “I don’t need a ride, I need ammo,” “radiation leaks,” and on and on.  The number of false stories coming out of this conflict, combined with the complete lack of solid information on casualty counts on either side suggests a number of things to me, and all of it is that the gas-lighting is on an epic scale.  There’s no truth in any of this. On Wednesday, Bongino referred to the problem as a “Crisis of Truth.” It’s worse than that. We have a crisis of facts, due to a stunning lack of them.  Do we know the truth?  No.  Can we know the truth?  I don’t know, and I don’t believe anybody else in the West can tell you otherwise.  I’m going to tell you what I think is happening, and what may happen. I’m also going to tell you why I think it’s happening.  These are not facts, but they are educated guesses based on the slim facts we have.

Russia is grinding it out.  Things are not going easily for Russia, but unless something else changes markedly, they’re going to defeat the Ukrainians.  The invaders have all the material, manpower, and technological advantages.  Even Ukraine’s planes are aging Russian models.  Russia largely controls the avenues of approach into Ukraine, except in the most extreme West of the country, but again, the ability to move any substantial amount of supplies or war materials into Ukraine from the West will be severely hampered.  Russia clearly controls the areas along the Black Sea coast, so there’s no material by ship that’s going to make it in.  Even now, it seems the latest disposition maps I’ve seen suggest that Russia is slowly encircling the major cities, and the area East of the Dnieper River seems to be almost entirely in Russian control. Since this region is a majority-Russian-speaking populace, it seems as though Putin may have an increasingly firmer grip. In the far North, we know Putin already shares control of the Chernobyl nuclear plant site with the Ukrainians, just as he does now at the large power plant in the center of the country, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, located on the Dnieper River.

From the Russian perspective, securing the nuclear sites makes a good deal of sense.  Preventing saboteurs from turning nuclear plants into gargantuan dirty bombs is an important task any invader would be likely to undertake.  One would also expect that if the invaders intended to restore normalcy to an area after pacifying an area, they wouldn’t want to wreck the entire electric infrastructure.  Reports from other areas in the country likewise suggest that the Russian forces may be avoiding unnecessary damage to infrastructure, again suggesting they intend to restore normalcy quickly rather than over decades. This very much flies in the face of the narrative that Putin is a mad-dog wild-man intent upon razing Ukraine utterly to the ground.

Reports now suggest that upwards of two million Ukrainians have fled the country, most for refuge in Poland.  Ukraine forces are under-equipped, and highly demoralized.  Worse, some portion of their forces may have been encircled or nearly encircled in the Eastern section of the country.  On the other hand, the Ukrainians are fighting a defensive war, which means they have the advantage on the turf they still hold.

The issue that came to a head on Wednesday is the matter of biolabs in Ukraine.  There had been a fair amount of rumor-mill level information circulating around the Internet that suggested there were bio-warfare labs in Ukraine, and that Putin was going after them.  Let me try to clear the air on this, since certain conservative hosts seem not to grasp any of this material, while others at least recognize the implications: If there are bio-labs in Ukraine that have been handling dangerous pathogens, then Putin will certainly be able to make the claim, a la “Weapons of Mass Destruction” that he had a right to pre-emptively attack Ukraine to reduce/eliminate the threat.  What could the United States possibly say in opposition? “But Bruh, we’re the good guys…

There are those who have claimed, on behalf of the US government, that these labs are of a defensive purpose only, but let me be more honest: If you have the sort of research labs that’s handling Anthrax, you can just as easily weaponize your research products as not.  More, there’s information that one of the labs was collecting genetic material in which they were seeking only white Russian RNA for experimentation.  Why would a lab in Ukraine do that? That doesn’t sound innocent at all, and once you realize that the US Department of Defense was involved, one can’t understate the potentially diabolical nature of such research.  The fact that Victoria Nuland claims they’re now concerned about the disposition of the labs, and imputing a Russian offensive intent to capturing the labs suggests to me there’s something nefarious that has been going on in Ukraine.  Fifteen of these labs throughout Ukraine were being funded by DoD to at least some degree.  If, and I stress the IF, this turns out to be a collection of real biolabs with weaponization capabilities, then Russia has a legitimate claim that the United States was funding bioweapons on their border, and this would make US the bad guys. I cannot tell you how thoroughly disgusted I am with all of this.  These people, who funded the labs with our tax dollars, all of them, each and every one, needs to go to jail if there is any evidence of weaponization and weapons research for several reasons. First, that would violate the 1972/75 Biological Weapons Conventions. Second, it would likely violate US law.  Third, it could be seen as an act of war or certainly provocation of one.

The other thing I’ve been hearing reports from Ukraine include the fact that the Ukrainian forces are making combat emplacements among civilian homes and facilities in order to stymie Russian advances, knowing Russia is attempting to avoid civilian casualties.  The Russians have been making announcements in some areas, warning civilians to stay out of certain areas in which they intend to attack.  If the story of Ukrainian forces sheltering among or placing weapons among civilians turns out to be true, they are guilty of war crimes by using civilians as shields.

As for the role of the United States in the overall crisis, the following has become undeniably clear:

  • They don’t want to stop Putin yet…They may be looking for an opportunity to set-up Putin with a nuclear, biological, or chemical false flag
  • They will not provide Ukraine any significant weapons of self-defense
  • They’re happy to try to goad other NATO members into stepping into provocative territory
  • They want Putin gone, but they still need his help with the Iran deal
  • If they can’t control Zelenskiy themselves, they’ll happily cut him loose to the fate Russians have in store, if they don’t whack him themselves

One of the other things that’s really beginning to cause my eyebrows to raise is the lack of statistical data on the dead and wounded.  We received reports of incidents here and there, but isn’t it odd that the same media that kept a ticker on dead Americans in Iraq, and deaths and infections from COVID (but only while Trump was in office,) are suddenly disinterested in the statistics? One would think that if it’s all as brutal as we’ve been told, there’d be some sort of, dare I say it, “body count” for either side.  Instead, there’s nothing of the sort.  Given all the coverage of wars I’ve witnessed going all the way back to Vietnam, blaring announcers in grave voices stating the hard and ugly results of war in numerical terms has been a feature for as long as I can remember, until now.  Why should today be different, suddenly?  They ordinarily use these statistics to horrify us and to turn us against whichever war is being prosecuted at the time.  Why are they treating Ukraine differently?  It’s not that I’m a ghoul, but one of the unmistakable evidences of war is the grim reality of the wounded and the dead, and media has been only too willing to show them to us in the past.  I find it highly suspicious that we’re not being shown any of that in the war today.

More and more, as I listen to the coverage, I’ve come to wonder if we’re even given enough information to discern the truth on our own.  Ordinarily, the media gives us just enough to be able to figure out what’s going on, even if they lie entirely about an event’s actual meaning, as is their custom. Now, we get none of this. We get grainy footage, blurred by motion, or static pictures in which nothing is going on, and at most, we’re looking at an aftermath of something, but what happened there and who did it is obscured by time.  What we don’t get is any live footage of ongoing combat. The closest we get is something like an artillery piece, or other long-range or indirect fire weapon firing, with no context about where it’s occurring or what the target of the artillery fire might be.  Where are the media embeds with their satellite up-links?  In the modern context, this “coverage” simply isn’t.  They’ve also cut off all Russian media, so there’s no counterpoint of any kind, and no real-time footage coming from them either. The lack of video of the fighting give me the same feeling I had in the wake of January 6th when the Capitol Police would release little camera footage from among the 14,000 hours they had captured.  Why would you conceal it?

On the Ukrainian side of things, we now have the spectacle of President Zelenskiy accusing the West of doing nothing, which in some ways is definitely true, but what is galling to me is his demands that the West come to his aid.  Here is the spectacle of a beggar waving his fist at those he would have provide him charity.   When asked about the danger of escalation, he remarks that any such dangers are unknown or unknowable, and with that, we should simply ignore the risk.  At least for me, there’s something offensive about a country’s leader telling Americans that they’re to blame, and that he’s not worried about the blowback from any escalation on our country.  It’s just a little bit galling.  We’ve already provided much more support over the years than I would have approved, had I been given a choice. (Of course, that sentiment applies to many more nations than Ukraine.)  Here’s video from an interview by Sky News:

The accusations flying back and forth over the biolabs situation has not abated, and Psaki issued a blanket denial of US involvement in bioweapons labs in Ukraine, and called Russian and Chinese accusations of this “conspiracy theories.’  When Jen Psaki says a narrative is a “conspiracy theory,” you can be virtually certain that the opposite is true:

I think this is made plain, at least in part, by Victoria Nuland’s own remarks to Senator Rubio on Tuesday.  I’ll re-post the video here:

Notice that Nuland says there are concerns that these biological materials could fall into Russian hands?  Why would there be concern if there’s nothing dangerous there, as Psaki later claimed?

The question for Americans is rightly: Who’s lying?  It’s not a question any longer of whether you’re being fed lies.  The question is: Among all the liars involved, which of them is currently lying to you?  Maybe all of them are liars to some degree.  We can’t know, but the very fact that we need to speculate underlines the problem.  I don’t trust any of these people.  As I covered earlier, people I’ve trusted for a long time are now unreliable.  From the point of view of somebody covering this story, it’s a catastrophe.  There’s no way to know anything with certainty, and at least for the moment, it’s being kept that way. This crisis of facts is the underpinning of Bongino’s “Crisis of Truth,” and I see no evidence of the crisis relenting.

 

 

 

 

Mark Levin and the Establishment

Thursday, March 10th, 2022

Why does Levin sound like the establishment on Ukraine?

I really didn’t see this coming. I was on my way home from another day of work on Wednesday as Levin’s show began.  As he began talking about the events in Ukraine, it came to that moment when he said that he’d be having Lindsey Graham on in his third hour to discuss the Senator’s notion that Putin needs to be taken out, an idea with which Levin heartily agrees.  As I listened to him go on about his disdain for “nationalist-populists” and so on, before too much time had passed, a thought formed in my mind that I simply couldn’t escape.  At first, I thought, and may even have said aloud in answer to the radio: “Mark, you sound just like the establishment against which you always rail.” A commercial came on as I pondered that thought a little longer, and then it struck me.  It’s not that Mark Levin merely sounds like the establishment.  He is the establishment, or at least its errand-boy, perhaps unwittingly.

Do I think Mark Levin is deep within the DC establishment?  No.  On the other hand, he’s in their circle, perhaps loosely, and he’s put himself in a position through which they will attempt to exploit him, and thereby, his audience.  When he speaks, millions listen attentively.  They listen because he offers a view from inside politics, as a former chief of staff to an Attorney General of the United States.  Though his connections into the mechanisms of state are dated and most will have long since retired, that doesn’t mean the existing establishment hasn’t cultivated a connection to him through which they hope to propagandized and manipulate his audience.

Do you need proof?  Every time the Republican establishment needs something from him, he gives it, with few exceptions.  They know there will be some times and some areas of policy on which he will be unapproachable, but they know when election time rolls around, for the most part, they can count on him to carry their water.  He helped give us a whole string of Senators under the vague umbrella of the Tea Party movement, but most of them went on to betray us in varying degrees.  In 2020, he brought his audience Lindsey freaking Graham.  He pushed Lindsey for re-election.  He should have given him a strong kick in the ass and run him off.  Instead, Levin played the good soldier and brought Graham on his show, and while you could almost hear part of Levin holding his nose, he did it nevertheless.  In 2016, when Ted Cruz needed a “constitutional expert” to vouch for his eligibility to run for President, he went immediately to Levin.  In what I regard to be the biggest single betrayal of his audience in the whole of his career on the radio, he cobbled together some nonsensical explanation that “Natural Born Citizen” was “just a citizen.”  It was embarrassingly infantile and nonsensical, and it took a long time for me to get over it.  I had been researching the issue(and continued to for some time before publishing my article) when Levin made this pronouncement, and knew him to be full of piss and wind on the issue that day.

I knew then that Levin would bend things to support his own agenda, and that while it wasn’t perfectly aligned with the establishment, it was nevertheless amenable to them in some instances.  What happens to Levin seems to be that he’s so invested in winning that he’ll make friends with alleged enemies if he thinks it will help him advance his cause, but the problem with this approach is that often, it’s self-defeating, not only to Levin, but also to his audience. As another example, he’s friends with Senator Mike Lee, (R-UT,) a guy who makes many good arguments, but unfortunately also is the Senator from Google.  He’s thoroughly compromised by the funds and lobbying that rolls in the door from that company.  Levin won’t tell you about that. He’s protective of Lee on that issue. It’s as though it doesn’t exist.

Another good example is House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, (R-CA,) another establishment stooge and first-rate swampster. Levin brought this stooge to you in 2020 also, just as he did Speaker Paul Ryan(R-WI) in previous election years. On Wednesday evening, Levin bashed McCarthy, after mentioning he was seemingly interested in coming on the show an longer.  Of course not, Mark, he got what he needed from you in 2020, pre-election. Check back in with him this coming Fall!  Ryan is the definition of a swampster, a Republican who’s married into a thoroughgoing Democrat family(and his sister-in-law is the Biden SCOTUS-pick, Ketanji Brown Jackson,) and who spent as little time in Wisconsin as was humanly possible.  In that respect, Ryan was a good deal like another swampster Levin brought you on his show when she was seeking election to the house: Elizabeth “Liz” Cheney(R-WY) spends even less time in Wyoming than Ryan spent in Wisconsin.  Do you see how the Republican establishment exploits him?  How is this possible for an alleged Tea Party guy, a constitutionalist?

I don’t believe Mark Levin is a part of the DC UniParty, but his orbit crosses theirs, whether he’ll admit it or not.  He makes mention from time to time on-air about how they reach out to him, and want to come on the show, but most of the time, if an election is tight, and he thinks he can help a little, he’ll bring them on.  It’s what it is.  Is he an evil guy?  No. Absolutely not.  The problem is that when you get into bed with these people, it’s hard to get away.  I also wouldn’t say he provides strictly establishmentarian propaganda.  He does provide much very good content, but I’m afraid that very often, too many of the wrong people have his ear.  He gets “insider” information from some people who are truly swampy.  How do I know?  I hear it on air.  I can tell what sorts of people within the bureaucracy or in the Congress have his ear. For Pete’s sake, he brought John Bolton(!) to Donald Trump.  He admitted on-air that Bolton had lobbied him strongly to get in on the NSA job with Trump.  Bolton was a catastrophe who spent his whole time in that job undermining Trump’s foreign policy agenda.  Levin admits it now, belatedly.  If I were Trump, I’d never listen seriously to another recommendation from Levin on personnel.  Ever.  Thinking about it, maybe neither should you.

Now Levin is taking information from the same crowd with respect to Ukraine.  He can see the Democrats are a catastrophe, but he can’t see that the information he’s being passed comes from the same sort of corrupt sources that brought Trump a recommendation of John Bolton via Mark Levin.  He remarked the other day that some fan had asked him in public whether he believed anything about it, because the media is so corrupt.  Levin explained to his audience that he’d told the man that the whole of the International Press isn’t corrupt too.  You see, he doesn’t see it.  The politicization of media hasn’t stopped at the water’s edge, any more than politics itself has stopped there.  Levin seems to be having a weird kind of “bromance” with Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, but the problem is that much of that upon which Levin bases his admiration for Zelenskiy has been debunked.  It turns out that Zelenskiy may be just as corrupt as his predecessor, if not quite as wealthy. He’s tied-in with Ihor Kolomoisky, another corrupt Ukrainian oligarch. Somehow, these facts escape Levin, or he’s not mentioning them because of his admiration for the Ukrainian president.  Either way, it’s a dangerous lack of perspective.

Levin has always had his strawmen and his foils.  Lately, he’s been concentrating on the “nationalist-populists,” decrying them as Putinophiles, or something in that vein.  I actually hate when he does this.  Name names, for Heaven’s sake!  In the case of “nationalist-populist,” I’m pretty certain he means Steve Bannon of WarRoom fame.  There seems to be real heartburn there, and Bannon, for his part, doesn’t help when he tosses out phrases like “Neocon” because it seems to trigger Levin’s antisemitism alarms.  Levin needs to get a grip.  Virtually nobody who uses the term “Neocon” means anything to do with Jews, and most of them won’t even know the relationship between “Neocons” and Jews in the purely historical sense.  It’s much like “establishment” in the sense that you might not be able to name an actual “neocon,” but you can identify their policies in action and advocacy when you see them, and while the original description “neocon” may have applied specifically to a particular group of Jews, it’s been clear for some time that their basic set of military and foreign policy issues have been adopted by a wider group of interventionist Republicans, many of whom are clearly not Jews.

It’s maddening. Levin is so close to the truth about Ukraine, but he’s being strung-along by his emotions, his admiration for Zelenskiy, and his cold-war-hardened hatred for all things Russia, particularly Putin. When you add to it what’s being pumped-out in the mainstream narratives, even by Republicans, especially swampsters, he just can’t shake it loose.  I’m afraid that until Levin overcomes these demons, he’s simply incapable of bringing you full and sensible information on Ukraine, and that’s simply the most disappointing development in media in a long, long while.

At the end of his show, in the last hour, Levin had Graham on his show to talk about taking out Putin.  If you listen, you can hear Lindsey Graham ingratiate himself to Levin with the slobbering remarks near the end of his appearance.  One could almost hear Levin’s heart melt.  I could vomit.

Here’s the full podcast(The Graham interview begins at the 1:28:55 mark):


Oh, and Mark? Ronald Reagan never once called for taking-out Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko or Gorbachev. He knew that the last thing a nuclear-armed country run by a totalitarian government needs is any sort of instability of that sort.  Do you think the people who would take out Putin would be any more stable or less dangerous to the United States?  No.  Reagan knew better than nonsensical ideas like that. You should be ashamed of yourself for associating such a foolish idea with the temperament and wisdom of Ronald Reagan.

 

Russia Shockingly Accuses US DoD of Operating BioWeapons Labs on its Doorstep in Ukraine

Tuesday, March 8th, 2022

Map of alleged Bio-Labs in Ukraine

Rumors have been circulated widely around the Internet since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine that one of Vladimir Putin’s purposes wat the destruction and removal of alleged bioweapons laboratories across Ukraine. I had initially dismissed this as part of a Russian disinformation campaign being carried out and employed against those predisposed to distrust Washington DC’s motives.  Kyle Becker of beckernews.com ran a story on Monday highlighting what are now claims made by the Russian government that they are uncovering precisely such facilities.  As Becker’s article points out, the Department of Defense admits being engaged with laboratories in Ukraine that handle some very dangerous infectious diseases, including Anthrax, to name one most people will recognize. Some of these sites are published on a map on the US Embassy’s website in Ukraine, seeming to confirm US knowledge of the existence of BioLabs. The Defense Department says its engagement there is part of their Bioweapons Threat Reduction Program, and under that program, they’ve provided assistance in upgrading the labs, allegedly for safety reasons.  Becker notes that Foreign Minister Lavrov’s accusations may indeed be part of a propaganda campaign, but the question remains as to the degree of US involvement and the nature of the ongoing research in these facilities.  It’s clear that Russia intends to play the “WMD” card, but what remains in question is whether these labs actually serve a demilitarized, peaceful purpose, and if Russia is simply seizing upon these labs as justification for their actions in Ukraine.

As Becker observes somewhat wryly, however, “Bioweapons threat reduction” was the same excuse at the heart of our involvement in the Chinese Wuhan Institute of Virology, and we all have some idea of how that turned out. Whether there is any actual fire in this case remains unclear, but there certainly is at least some smoke.  I understand the concept of threat reduction, but I also know the DoD has been known to employ some smokescreens in such matters.  It would be truly ironic and damaging if it turned out that these labs had handled materials and conducted research that could be fit within the general sphere of bioweapons research.  It’s at this point that I would remind readers about the interactions between Rosemont Seneca and EcoHealth Alliance. Could the US be involved in something unseemly in this field in Ukraine?  At this point, I don’t believe we have enough evidence to say with certainty, but as a friend is often heard to remind me about such things, “if there is any doubt, there is no doubt.” It’s a sentiment born more of a general experience with government and politics that takes a pessimistic view of those endeavors and the people engaged in them, but it’s often not far off the mark. In any event, this is an example of why the American people are right to doubt everything they’re being told, whether parties to the war in Ukraine, or by their own government and media.

 

More Lies: Zelenskiy “Fight is Here” Was Never Said

Monday, March 7th, 2022

Zelenskiy visits rebellion’s front lines in 2019…(AFP)

The propaganda coming from our mainstream media is worse than one might ordinarily imagine.  Yes, we should expect propaganda to come out of both Russia and Ukraine in the middle of war, but we’re smart to give it time to soak before we accept it at face value.  Now it’s been revealed that Volodymyr Zelenskiy never actually said that quote that has been widely attributed to him.  The original source for the quote “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,” turns out to have been an anonymous “senior American intelligence officer.”  The Washington Post noticed this very thin sourcing, but Summit News did a little more digging. This is what they found.

We’re surrounded by media liars, and people feeding the liars in media. They all have an agenda that isn’t the truth, or your best interests.  We need to be very discerning, and our default setting must be one of intense skepticism.  As I reported earlier, allegedly conservative FoxNews and Newsmax have been caught carrying the DC Mafia’s water, so the number of “trusted” sources of information has rapidly dwindled.  Folks, we need to become the news.  Our own discernment is all that remains to protect us from disinformation, misinformation, fake news, and flat-out lies. As I explained last week, just as politics no longer ends at the water’s edge, neither do the lies.

Revealed: So-Called Conservative Networks FoxNews and NewsMax Carried Water for DC Mafia

Monday, March 7th, 2022

They’re part of “Mainstream Media” now…

If you’re unfamiliar with the work of Emerald Robinson, I’d commend it to you. I try to check in at her site frequently, because she does a fantastic job of digging-up the truth.  In this case, she’s managed to uncover a story of corruption in media.  As it turns out, FoxNews and Newsmax along with many other channels were actively suppressing employees from expressing or reporting any stories questioning the efficacy or safety of vaccines?  Why?  It’s always the same reason: Money.  In this case, the government was paying millions to so-called news outlets to propagandize you with your own tax dollars.  It’s scandalous, and you should know all about it. It’s clear that Fox News and Newsmax are part of “mainstream media” now.

Swamp Gas: Ukraine Narrative Dividing Conservatives and America

Friday, March 4th, 2022

UniParty Media Goes Global

We’ve been watching this war in Ukraine for more than one week, and one of the things that’s become apparent is that there’s a clear divide among conservatives about the war.  The divide is more thorough in the media sphere, but it’s real, and neither side should discount it. On the one hand, you have the segment that I’ll call the pro-interventionists, and even there, it’s not a uniform body of opinion.  On the other hand, you have the anti-interventionists, and again, they’re not perfectly uniform in their view.  The primary cause of all of this division and confused positions arises out of one specific, underlying cause.  The first group is generally prone to accept the media reports at face value, while the second group is not.  This is the result of years of unreliable, unverified, unproven and false reports in the mainstream media, that has shown itself to be perfectly incapable of reporting straight news in the domestic arena.  This is dangerous to our movement, but more importantly to our republic.  As we’ve seen quite clearly in the last six years, the shaping of the media narrative in the media is designed to exact a specific outcome that favors the DC UniParty.  It’s that simple.  The establishment in Washington DC directs the narrative, and the media shamelessly follows along, in order to further their shared interests.  Conservatives must learn, for once and for all, that the DC establishment’s narrative and media domination does not end at the water’s edge. Swamp gas has gone global.

When you consider the media conglomerates that dominate media, what you find is that most are associated quite closely in one way or another.  This set of relationships extends far beyond American shores, as outfits like Paramount Global(Parent of CBS News, Viacom, and others) and NewsCorp(sister company of Fox Corporation and parent of Sky News and others) will quite nicely demonstrate.  NBCUniversal is a similar conglomerate, ultimately the parent of NBCNews, MSNBC, CNBC, and Telemundo among many others.  ABC News is part of another conglomerate owned by Disney, and naturally, CNN is owned by ATT.  The number of print and and broadcast assets under the umbrellas of the media empires constitutes much of the media you consume.  Spend five minutes chasing links from one to another on even and admittedly left-wing reference like Wikipedia, and you will quickly see the ties from one outlet to another.  Add to this the endless cross-pollination as so-called ‘journalists’ move back and forth within the span of the larger umbrella, and you begin to see the trouble.  Then consider how frequently members come from or move to politics and familial relations to politicians, and you see how corrupt this has all become.  By design, they’re all tied-in to the DC UniParty, that spreads it tentacles around the Western world.  Europe, the Americas, and Australia are all places in which these conglomerates compete and largely dominate for the news space.  This is what the media branch of our ruling mafia looks like.

What this means is that in many ways, if you’re searching for news and information, you’re unlikely to avoid the narratives being propagated throughout the DC UniParty’s sphere and reach. In fact, if you search on any of the search engines on any big story, you’re unlikely to get results in the first three or four pages of results that aren’t shaped by or directly disseminated from beneath this umbrella.  You really must go a long way outside of these to find sites and sources that do not rely entirely or almost entirely on the information, misinformation, and disinformation being spewed by these conglomerates.  It’s difficult for non-connected outlets to get noticed, particularly with outfits like Google and Bing acting as gatekeepers that will steer you back beneath the safe confines of the umbrella.

No narrative demonstrates this more thoroughly than the current DC UniParty’s narrative on Ukraine.  This narrative is almost impossible to escape, and as we’ve seen recently, even conservatives easily become ensnared by the tentacles reaching ever outward from the simmering pit of their swamp.  It’s not that they shape the news, so much as that in many cases, they’re fabricating it from whole cloth.  On Thursday night, they rushed to the news-desks and printing presses and websites with the narrative that the Ukrainian nuclear power plant at Zaporizhzhia, which caught on fire early Friday morning, had rising radiation levels. Within hours, this was all shown to be false, inasmuch as the actual fire was in an administrative building, and radiation levels from the plant were never affected.  This is the second time during the course of this war that this narrative has been spread, last week seeing a similar story focused on the plant at Chernobyl.

As I’ve been covering during the last several days, the reporting we’re seeing is almost entirely propaganda, but not from the Russians or Ukrainians as would be expected.  Instead, most all the propaganda we’re now seeing is emanating from Western media, including particularly the swamp-gassers in DC and New York.  The problem for conservatives rests with the segment of conservatives who still trust anything in media at this point.  The same media that provided all of the false narratives over the last seven years with respect to Trump, Russia, impeachments, Jan 6th, COVID, and all the other nonsense we’ve been force-fed all emanates from the same fetid, stinking, stagnant pool.

I wish there were a way to show conservatives who are still being misled that the false narratives don’t stop at the water’s edge.  There is no clean and pure media anywhere in the West, if it’s tied to this same crowd of spinmeisters.  Conservatives who understand this are refusing to go along, as they should.  Stories have now come out that Zelenskiy may in fact be as corrupt as the guy he replaced, and he’s got offshore accounts and interests as far away as Belize.  This is a fact the swamp-gassers will never tell you, because it doesn’t fit with their narrative.  The larger problem, however, is getting these conservatives still slurping-up the media narrative to understand they’re being fooled again, and by the same crowd.  Once you see it, there’s no going back, and it’s important for Americans to see it.  What I’ve heard so far of Bongino’s radio show on Friday suggests that he’s begun to see it more clearly.  Having investigated the SpyGate scandal, and indeed having written books about it, Bongino has caught scent of the swamp in all of this, and it’s important that others do too.

 

Questions We Must Begin to Ask

Monday, February 28th, 2022

How many outlets use the same story and imagery? How is this possible?

Over the last few days, I’ve begun to see a trend in Social Media.  Apparently, we’re to be prohibited from, or at least certainly discouraged from asking a number of important questions.  My list is not nearly complete.  I could ask many more, and hopefully, so could you.  The notion here isn’t to focus on the particular question, but to provide you the kinds of questions we must begin to ask.  We’re in the midst of a propaganda war, perhaps even more than watching an actual war in Ukraine.  We’re part of the battle-space in that information war, but we’re reliant on the information cartel that is made up of governments and media.  How much and how thoroughly have they been lying to us, not merely about Ukraine, or COVID, but virtually every story they bother to present to us?  The purpose of this post isn’t to really answer any of the questions, but to give you a sense of the sorts of questions we must ask. We fail to ask them at our own peril.  More, we must begin to ask what are the motives behind the suppression of questions. It’s time to be sheep no longer.

  • In the 1990s, under the flag of NATO, we effectively invaded a sovereign nation, Yugoslavia, partitioning it into what we declared to be sovereign, independent states to prevent ethnic cleansing. How does this differ from Putin invading Ukraine, partitioning it, and declaring some of the partitions as independent sovereign states, an action he claims will prevent a genocide?
  • If Putin is a “kleptocrat” because he used politics and the power of his office to personally enrich himself and his family and friends, is Joe Biden also a “kleptocrat?” Nancy Pelosi? Barack Obama? Mitt Romney? Adam Kinzinger? Mitch McConnell?
  • If warning potential adversaries that interference/intervention/attack against you/your forces/interests will be met with “Fire and Fury the likes of which [they’ve] never seen,” is Putin a bad guy for issuing a similar warning?
  • In 2014, did the United States help fund, arm and equip those who carried out a violent coup against the then sitting government of Ukraine?
  • Why does the media continuously recycle images and videos from past wars, conflicts, and even photo ops in the furtherance of their narrative?
  • Are “we” the good guys? Who’s “we?” “We” the United States? “We” NATO? “We” the Party of Davos? “We” the DC UniParty?
  • If we know the media has lied to us consistently over the last five or more years, what makes you think the lies stop at the water’s edge? Do you think other media outlets around the world are any less dishonest, controlled, or part of the information cartel? Why do you believe that?
  • Do you understand that media companies are now global? As just one example, do you know all the assets of News Corp?
  • Sometimes, events are used to cover-up or hide other events. Can you name a single thing that was obscurred or hidden by the constant Ukraine war coverage this past weekend?
  • You may trust, as one example, a particular radio talk host. Have you asked where your radio hosts get their news and information about ongoing events? Have you asked them how they’ve derived their opinions? This goes for bloggers, including me. Where do the people who tell you their opinions derive the information from which they’ve developed these opinions?
  • Media are very good at concealing full information about a given story. How many examples can you name in which blaring headlines and chyrons present a less-than-full accounting of the real facts in the story? I point to the issue with SWIFT ban headlines mentioned in a post Monday morning, as one example. Have you seen more of the same?
  • Why are all the people involved in the current official US Ukraine narrative the same people involved in the first Trump Impeachment Hoax and the 2016 Russia Hoax?

We all need to ask more questions. Many more questions. We need to dig deeper for the answers. We need to doubt most everything. The media and government bear witness to events and situations all over the globe, and we watch and listen because we can’t possibly be everywhere at once. How easy is our actual remoteness from events and stories used as the avenue by which we can be misled or flatly lied-to?

Start asking questions, everywhere.  We’re in a global quagmire created by the information cartel.  It’s time we begin to reach outside it, or decipher it, or break down its walls.

Caught in the Crossfire Between Empires of Lies

Monday, February 28th, 2022

Ukraine: Caught in the crossfire between empires of lies

I grew up in a large family.  All but one of us children were boys.  Like boys often do, brotherly taunts and squabbles could at time give way to furious fights.  While not unusual, the odd thing about families is that there’s a kind of cohesiveness that generally holds them together when the threats come from outside.  Though at “war” with one another as we at times seemed to be, it was nevertheless true that against outsiders, we quickly rejoined ranks to thwart the interlopers.  Right or wrong, after all, these were my brothers, and our fraternal bonds were far stronger.  Ever did we automatically take one another’s side over outsiders, often without thought and consideration, but by mere reflex of habitual fraternal loyalty. This was our brotherly version of “politics end at the water’s edge.” The problem with this, occasionally, is that at times, it led us to support brothers who may have acted badly outside our borders.  The baseline assumption was ever that our brothers were right, and this was sometimes a mistaken conclusion.  When these things happen on the scale of a family, they can be forgiven as acts of fraternal loyalty.  When they happen on the scale of nations and continents, and indeed the globe, we have a deeper responsibility to examine the actions and intentions of our own brethren.  The folly in failing to do so could be catastrophic. We Americans have been coming to grasp that our government is thoroughly corrupted, and that it bears no resemblance to the ideals it renders as a mask.  “Truth, Justice and the American way” have been replaced with “Justice and Truth are what we tell you, and that is the American way.” Is Putin’s allegation true in any measure?  He says the West, starting with the United States, has become an “Empire of Lies.”

Self-appointed President-for-Life Vladimir Putin is a professional liar.  To be in the intelligence operation of the former Soviet KGB is to act as the bodyguard of a colossal set of lies.  Make no mistake about it:  Putin is not a trustworthy man, and all of his words are laced with falsehoods, half-truths and distortions, all aimed at disarming his audience to make them easier to overwhelm.  His work truly is the province of pure information warfare, but like all such warfare, it relies on kernels and nuggets of truth.  If he were to suggest that Zelenskiy is the agent of aliens, or that Joe Biden is a failed alien-human hybrid, we’d be right to discount everything he says.  What makes some of his propaganda somewhat successful, I’m afraid, is that he attacks at our points of true weakness:  He attacks our Western governments’ most fundamental lies.  This does not mean that we should take anything he says at face value, but in examining his words, we should be careful to heed the dangerous truths he’ll happily employ to sow chaos and dissention among us.  It is those small but glaringly significant truths we must hasten to address, not in answer to the Russian dictator, but in honest and truthful appraisal of our own condition and situation.

Where the Western foreign policy and intelligence establishment is concerned, we have been an “Empire of Lies” for many years. One can go back much further in our history than the post-World War II environment to find lies, but they became systematized and ingrained beginning roughly during the Second World War.  This is when the first widespread programs of war propaganda were employed by the United States, not merely against its enemies, but particularly against its own citizens.  Remember “Rosie the Riveter?” She was a fictional character used to implore more women to join the war’s industrial workforce.  Whether it was good or bad; right or wrong, it was war propaganda deployed against the American people.  Many countries produced this sort of propaganda.  In some instances, such propaganda was disguised as “news.”  Soviet Russia was a gargantuan producer of war propaganda.  At some points in the war, propaganda and the ferocity of the fighting it inspired was their most important weapon.

Nowadays, propaganda is generally more nuanced, though outlets like PBS and NPR do their best to engage in full-time propagandization.  One way or another, it’s in everything you will see or hear from those outlets.  It’s in their news, but also in their programming for children.  It’s in everything.  Of course, the private-sector media is little different.  They tend to be somewhat less obvious, most of the time, but their messaging is polluted with propaganda of some sort virtually every minute of every day, in this case on behalf of paying customers, some governmental, but also some in the private sector.  This is how you get to the spectacle of CNN, with a huge proportion of its current sponsorship being the large pharmaceutical companies, like Pfizer.

Over the last several years, any person who pays even passing attention to the so-called “news” cannot help but notice the frequency with which stories are later shown to have been mistaken, wrong, or entirely fabricated.  Lately, it seems everything we hear in so-called mainstream media is a lie.  It’s gotten so bad that many people now assume that to get to the truth of a story, all they need do is simply turn on MSNBC and believe the exact opposite of whatever its anchors spew, and they’re not far off.  “Reverse-viewing” our mainstream media is not a bad tactic, and more people are now employing it.

What astonishes me most, however, is how many of my fellow Americans simply forget from time-to-time what it is that they’re listening to, or who actually crafted the messages they’re hearing.  A good example at this moment in history is the War in Ukraine.  How much of the “news” we’re receiving is real?  How much of it is fabrication?  Somehow, some people who are ordinarily, rightfully skeptical of our media seem to adopt the notion of fraternal suspension of doubt when we get to the water’s edge.

I will not here allege that Vladimir Putin is a “good guy.” I don’t believe that for a moment, but my own biases about the dictator aside, I must ask, if I’m to be honest:  How do I know anything at all about Putin?  How have my impressions about him been formed, and is it unusual that they’re almost uniformly bad?  Remember in 2016 when Trump made mention that Putin was a  strong leader for his country?  What Trump was stating quite factually, in the way he does, is that Putin, whatever else you might say about him, is a strong leader for his country.  Whatever else I might say of Putin, this seems to be true.  Do you remember what happened next, after Trump had made this pronouncement?  Yes, the whole world of American politicians, Republican and Democrat alike, shouted him down with a cacophonous, screeching rebuke.  The media mocked him, the late-night “comics” lambasted him, and he was roundly presented either as a rube or as a stooge.  Why?  Even if he had been wrong, surely potential voters would recognize this and turn away.  You see, the problem was that he challenged a long-nurtured, well-constructed, widely-disseminated narrative about Vladimir Putin.  That was Trump’s central offense at that moment.

It’s not that I think Putin’s right to invade Ukraine — quite the contrary — but there are some truths we must examine in our own back yard even as we confront him.  The so-called DeepState, spread across countries and continents, really is that Empire of Lies about which Putin speaks.  They lie to us systematically, and they defraud us consistently.  They use the intelligence assets for which we pay against us, and even against our President.  To call the DeepState a “cabal” is to understate its reach and influence by many orders of magnitude.  Pointing out this particular Empire of Lies does not, however, make Putin our friend.  What it should cause instead is that we seek to remove and demolish the DeepState before it can cause us a catastrophe.  It won’t make the problem with Putin disappear, but it might prevent the next one.

After all, as I covered on Sunday morning, the Biden administration, through its agents, officers and operatives, made certain that the most threatening view of Ukraine be presented to Putin.  Would Putin have invaded Ukraine had he not been led to believe its membership in NATO was imminent?  It was this same “Empire of Lies” which left him with that unambiguous perception.  We may never know how much this particular manipulation played into Putin’s actions against Ukraine, but it almost certainly didn’t help matters.

Put it another way: How many of the people now sternly denouncing Putin either have some interests of their own in Ukraine, or have clear associations with this “Empire of Lies?” Notice that even now, as the West announces more sanctions against Russia, including banning Russian banks from the SWIFT payments system, what they struggle to de-emphasize is the single word: “some.” One must read beyond the headlines in this era of entirely propagandized media narratives.  The headline blares:

US and EU ban Russian Banks from Swift system in latest sanction

What they omit from the headline is a single, but important word: “Some.” This is done to conceal from you the whole truth, by telling you a lie by omission. Many people read only headlines. Often, truths like this will be buried deep in a story, or even in a linked sub-stories.  This way, they can later have claimed to tell you the truth while trying to engineer some cheap mis/disinformation.  Clearly, Western “mainstream media” is a fully functional organ of the “Empire of Lies.” When you dig around in this story, and chase the story across many platforms, “some” gives way to “select.”  Then “select” gives way to “key.” In the end, you realize that this is a mostly symbolic ban to the degree it’s a ban at all.

This is a story of intense importance, not because Putin’s a trustworthy source, but because we already know that our own “mainstream” sources are completely unreliable. I’m not making a case on Putin’s behalf.  That’s in no way related to my point.  Putin is merely picking at a scab barely covering a deep wound of which we are already domestically aware.  That he opportunistically pecks at our wounds does not mean we should ignore them.  What I intend to provoke here is the idea that Americans should begin to doubt everything, to avoid making the error of alleged fraternal trust in our media and governments, not because we should trust Putin, but because we too easily trust our own government and media, often at our own peril.  Look how frequently and easily they’ve blatantly lied to us in recent years.  Why would this story be any different?  I’ve been scanning a variety of foreign news outlets, particularly European, and they seem, as ever, to be singing from the same basic hymnal as our own.  Take away the foreign accents and cultural differences, and the stories could have been produced just as easily by CNN or MSNBC.  Sky News, Deutsche Welle, Al Jazeera, and many others are examples.  Sometimes, your own “brother” is lying to you, and you’d do well to see it.  At this scale, the stakes are simply too great, and we cannot permit alleged familial bonds to blind us to the monsters operating happily within our own Western and American families.  While we’re quite right to doubt most anything that issues forth from Putin’s lips, we should exercise no less caution in evaluating the pronouncements of our own government and media.  They lie to us daily.  For the average citizen, this begins to take on all the appearances of a war among rival gangs of villains, with ordinary people, as ever, caught squarely in the middle.

 

Biden Take-Down: The #CackleQueen Cometh

Friday, August 27th, 2021

Joe was always just the Opening Act

I’ve made no bones about the fact that I believe the Afghanistan debacle was part of a plan. As the days of this crisis go by, it’s also clear that it’s been done as part of the cabal’s strategy for Joe’s exit.  Think about it.  They moved the CackleQueen, Kamala Harris, to the other side of the planet on a trip to Southeast Asia.  In geographic terms, it actually places her closer to Afghanistan, but from a public-visibility point of view, she’s basically in a media black hole, and even any media traveling with her has kept her in the background.  It’s all about giving her plausible deniability so her handlers can push Biden out the door, ushering-in the first woman president.  There are a couple problems, however, including her ineligibility for the office.  She’s yet another foreigner being smuggled-in to the White House, and she serves the last foreigner to serve in that office.  Certainly, I’ll be called a birther, or whatever label they now attach to people like me who know what “natural born citizen” means and why it’s in the Constitution.  Ignore all of that for the moment, because it isn’t the point just now.  What is the point is that the hapless, useless, corrupt Joe Biden has been maneuvered into a position from which he will not politically recover, and this is why marines had to die in Kabul.  It’s why Americans had to be abandoned in Afghanistan.  It’s why this whole thing had to be the worst mess possible.  In fact, the whole mess Biden(and his handlers) has intentionally created over the last seven months was done so as to give Harris some room to “rescue” the situation.   Make it as bad as you can manage, and then offer the savior. Get ready, the CackleQueen is on-deck.

Kamala was always Obama’s favorite candidate, because she has just enough contempt for the American people to make her a useful tool, and she’s just compromised enough to be able to control, while being ambitious enough to believe she can be President.  Kamala Harris has even less business being in the Oval Office, because while she’s a more ruthless political climber than Joe Biden, she’s actually a dumber human being than Joe Biden, and that’s quite troubling, because he’s one of the biggest fools ever to step on to the national political stage.  All of this is being carried-out for the sake of removing Joe Biden. One of the following scenarios will very likely play out soon, all with the same result:

  • Joe Biden will be impeached and removed, or resign in the face of probable removal
  • Joe Biden will be removed via the 25th Amendment, as Speaker Pelosi foretold last year, or resign in the face of removal
  • Joe Biden will claim a newly discovered medical condition, dictating that he resign

They’re going to get rid of him now.  This is why they set him up.  Much like Cuomo was set up to be removed for more serious cause if he refused to go otherwise – the killing of thousands of seniors in nursing facilities – Biden will be threatened with the set-up over providing the list of American citizens and “American collaborators” among the Afghani populace.  If you’re unfamiliar with this, please examine the following:

 

This is referencing the fact that Joe Biden’s administration provided actual lists to the Taliban. Politico published this article on Thursday, and it indicates the idiocy of the Biden Administration in providing information about the identities and whereabouts of Americans, and Afghanis who worked with our forces.  This is criminal, and it’s likely going to be the lever used to push Biden to resign, although just like Cuomo in New York, it will never be prosecuted.

Sundance, over at The Conservative Treehouse, provided the following remarks via Twitter:

 

Sundance has it right. The DoD is being thrown under the bus alongside Biden.  The State Department and the Intelligence Community, a.k.a. the “Deep State,” has decided Joe Biden’s usefulness is over.  This is a plan.  It’s not simply and administration adjusting to a circumstance.  They’ve positioned Joe Biden for the takedown, and with him, they’re taking down the DoD.  They have to do this.  There are still too many loyal Americans in the Armed Forces.  Despite the top ranks being corrupt, they have to take down the credibility of our Armed Services.

The CackleQueen was always their ultimate goal. Joe Biden was always the Trojan horse by which they intended to smuggle her in.  They needed to leave her room to make things a little better after she takes over.  Thus, Biden’s program of demolishing America had as its purpose the laying of the groundwork for an alleged Kamala-comeback.  She’s so much more amenable to the Great Reset.  She’s so much more willing to be brutal in her war on America.  She will happily take your guns.  She will happily bring martial law to your doorstep.  Get ready.  This is just a continuation of the coup they’re still hardening against counter-revolutionary forces.  The CackleQueen cometh.

The 25th Amendment approach is already being pushed:

 

 

For those who’ve forgotten this jewel, you should remind yourselves. Nancy Pelosi on why Congress was working on issues relating to the 25th Amendment last year:

President Trump Addresses the Nation

Friday, August 27th, 2021

President Trump speaks to America

In a prepared video that was provided to Sean Hannity for airing on his FoxNews show Thursday evening, President Trump provided a brief statement to the nation about the events in Afghanistan today, particularly, and on the sorry conduct of Joe Biden and his entire feckless administration. The Afghanistan debacle is sickening.  Here is President Trump’s statement:

Killing Your Children

Sunday, August 15th, 2021

The Heart of the Matter

Yesterday, I brought to you the story about the damage being done to the IQs of babies. Now, I bring you information you must have about the cardiac health of your children and young adults due to the spike proteins. Watch the video below. It’s shocking, and we must stop the vaxxing of anybody under thirty now, most especially children. The fact that your children’s hearts are under attack must get your attention now.  There’s no excuse for more pissing around with this. Again, watch this video from Stew Peters via Rumble and draw your conclusions, but in my mind, this is #FullStop

I’m convinced that it’s time for Tribunals for Crimes Against Humanity.

 

Dumbing Down a Generation: Shock Study Finds Babies Living In Lockdowns Have 20 Percent Lower IQs

Saturday, August 14th, 2021

Wrecking a Generation

Every parent needs to see this. They need to know, right now: Masking and locking down harms your baby. Babies learn and develop intellectually by seeing and interacting with the faces of the adults and others around them. The Brown University study cited in the New York Post finds that the mean IQ dropped by 21 points. Folks, in the old standards, in older psychology text books going back a few decades before political correctness overran everything, and before the term “mental retardation” was considered a slur, an IQ lower than 80 was frequently classed as being “mildly retarded.” What’s worse is that the problem is permanent, and that the deficit in learning capacity is difficult to overcome the longer the isolation, masking and all the rest of the lockdown measures go on.  Worse, it’s not easily recoverable, if at all.  For eighteen months, Democrats and education officials have been pushing this lockdown/masking agenda. They’re literally dumbing-down your babies with your compliance. I’ve told you that I have believed we are under a widespread attack. Now we know your babies are also targets, and that by masking them, isolating them, and otherwise depriving them of natural early intellectual development, these babies are being stunted to a level that is more than harmful: This is catastrophic.

Imagine 20 years hence when you have a whole generation of barely functional adults whose mean IQ is twenty percent lower. In addition to the damage done to them personally, consider the damage that will be done to our entire society. This is abominable. These lockdown are and have always been abusive. Now we know they damage children for all their lives.

This MUST STOP NOW. Your babies must not be subjected to masked faces. Subjecting your children to this, particularly your infants and toddlers, is doing permanent harm to them.

Some health professionals and many activists have warned of this consequence for young children and babies since the beginning of the masking. Now, there’s no longer any doubt.

 

 

Vietnam 2.0: The Afghanistan Catastrophe The Left Wanted

Saturday, August 14th, 2021

They Love When America Loses

It should be obvious to all readers who have managed to find this site that the United States is under a concerted attack. This attack has many facets, some of them more obvious, and some more difficult to discern.  There is a reason the media is recalling the abandonment of Saigon, helicopters lifting off from the embassy there, as the image they paint, because in factual terms, it is rapidly becoming the situation on the ground in Kabul, Afghanistan.  Donald Trump had a plan to withdraw from Afghanistan in an orderly, peaceable fashion, and while there were some bumps along the road, it had been headed in the right direction.  Then, the left stole the election.  I’m not mincing words about this, and I don’t give a damn who doesn’t like it.  It’s plain as the nose on your face if only you care to see it.  Since the inauguration, the Biden Administration, a.k.a., Barack Obama’s shadow government behind the puppet, has been working around the clock to undo every good thing Trump had done for America, while wrecking anything and diminishing everything left. Biden is a puppet. He’s a Fake President. He’s the patsy for Obama’s revenge. Make no mistake. This is all about revenge against America and Americans. In virtually every decision and action of the Biden administration, it would be nearly impossible to choose a worse course of action than those now being undertaken. Short of launching a nuclear attack on its own people, the US federal government is doing everything within its means and power(and a good deal many outside its limited authority) to wreck the United States. What was the biggest national shame of the last 100 years? The sight of helicopters, desperate people begging to be brought aboard, as the US evacuated from Vietnam.  They want this again.  They love it when America loses. It’s about diminishing America, for the sake of its enemies, and it’s being carried out with an almost gleeful malice aforethought.

There are few things more vile in all of human experience than a government attacking its own citizens. When that attack is directed, engaged, and facilitated by a radical minority that has already succeeded in stealing the legitimate government, whether by force or fraud, what you have is a coup d’etat. Too many foolish people, however, are suckered into the belief that what we’re witnessing is merely a matter of incompetence.  There can scarcely be so much incompetence on Earth as would be required to do by accident all the things the Biden administration has already done by careful design and implementation.

Think of it. Think of all the ways in which the media has shielded Biden over the last year and ask yourself: Why would they now permit you to see in Afghanistan the full scale of the consequence of Biden’s “leadership?” Why now?  It’s simple: This is what they wanted. They don’t care if you see it, and they don’t much care if you know it. They want America diminished as you have known it.  They liked when America was shamed in its retreat from Saigon, just as they gleefully rush to report the withdrawal from Afghanistan’s similarity to the end of American engagement in Vietnam. For Obama and his henchmen, they get to celebrate American defeat in the shadows while their puppet suffers what little heat their lapdog media might unintentionally throw Biden’s way. For them, it’s a win-win.

Just as they celebrate every penny’s increase in the cost of fuel, they are only too happy to see America left destitute by inflating its currency. In just the same way that they are thrilled to wreck American education with Critical Race Theory and as bolstered as they are by coercing service-members to take experimental drugs posing as vaccines, they are ecstatic that America will now take a huge, public black eye on the world stage.  The enemies in China and elsewhere, with whom they conspire, now see their moment of opportunity nearly in reach. China looks at Taiwan now with ever more hungry eyes, and the wreckage their takeover in that nation will have upon America and Americans will make our situation still more desperate.

These people thrive on the diminution of America. Joe Biden is headed for a two week vacation, but it scarcely matters because the Obama crew is still running the show. Biden could be wheeled into cold storage, and the folks in the White House would scarcely notice, but for Kamala, who is Obama’s Biden-minder when she’s not avoiding the press. These people are our enemies. Don’t kid yourself with notions of incompetence, and don’t pretend it will all be fine in the end.  It won’t.  These people are deconstructing America at a frightening pace, and they’re doing it because they hate America and Americans. Their flock of useful idiots are brain-dead drones who will do anything for their masters. Eventually, they’ll discover the truth of the matter, but only long after it becomes too late. There’s no chance we can rely on people associated with or even vaguely supportive of these monsters with righting the ship of state. We’re in real trouble. They love it when America loses. When they reduce America to a slavepit no better than Venezuala or North Korea, they’ll have succeeded, but not a moment sooner. Waiting for Republicans to come to the rescue won’t work. Waiting for Trump to save you isn’t going to help you now. You have to take back control of your country, one county and one precinct at a time, and you need to get in the faces of Republicans who are too weak to act on their own, like Senate President Jake Corman in the Pennsylvania Senate. He’s still sitting on the subpoenas Senator Mastriano asked for two weeks ago.  It’s the people like Corman you must pry from their perches. You must make so much noise that you’re driving them before you. They’ll pretend to be leading a parade, but you’ll be driving them. It’s our only hope. America will not survive four years of this, and if left in power, we’ll never be rid of them again. It’s their Vietnam 2.0, and they like it. The difference is, while Americans might make it out of Kabul with their skins, the left is building the horrors of post-evacuation Vietnam right here, in America.  They love it.

Dr. Robert Malone Unmasks the Vaccine(Updated)

Saturday, July 31st, 2021

Sometimes, the truth hurts.

The one place in media giving one-hundred percent unvarnished coverage of issues with the vaccines is Stephen K Bannon’s Warroom. They’re not “anti-vax,” but they pull no punches, and they don’t cover up the problems.  They seem to believe in informed consent, a notion foreign to big media, big tech, and big government. The inventor of mRNA vaccine technology is a man named Dr. Robert Malone, MD.  He’s examining the actual evidence of the performance of the vaccines so far, and he’s seeing some very troubling problems.  These problems are being brushed-aside by mass media, and it’s astonishing that they continue with the “conspiracy theory” attack, despite so-called “conspiracy theories” now proving out in case after case in the last year.  First, we were told that the idea that vaccinated people could spread COVID is a “conspiracy theory.” Then we were told that the idea that there were injuries or death associated with the vaccines were a “conspiracy theory.” What we’re learning at this late date is that people who label everything “conspiracy theory” are the singularly demonstrable, undeniable conspiracy theorists.  We’re being told lies.  Thankfully, Dr. Robert Malone is having none of it. Here we have another physician who is bravely standing up against the tide of liars and cowards.  You must listen to what he has to say.  Whether you’ve been vaccinated or not, you have a right to the truth about all of this. You have a right to know if you’ve been dosed with something potentially dangerous.  You have a right to know what they’re demanding you have injected into your body. You retain a right to refuse, in all cases, and you have a right to continue your life without coercion or compulsion.  Most of all, you need the information.  You may be afraid of the information, either because you’ve had the vaccine and fear what it could mean for you, or because you haven’t, and you’re frightened that you’ll need to defend your life against the mandaters. Either way, you need information.  You’re not getting honest information from the media or government. Big tech is hiding it from you. If you have children, or others for whom you make the custodial decisions about vaccines, you need the information more than anybody.  Sometimes, the truth hurts.  Often, a lack of truth can kill.  Please view these clips from the War Room:

Bannon Wrecks Feckless Mitt Romney

Tuesday, June 29th, 2021

Stephen K. Bannon on War Room

If you’re not watching Stephen K. Bannon’s WarRoom on America’s Voice, you’re missing a critical daily update on important information for American patriots. On Monday, as is the habit on the show, they began with a “cold open” showing Al Gore and Mitt Romney, each deriding the efforts to get to the bottom of the 2020 elections, with Mitt Romney going on to criticize the “Big Lie” which is really the big truth: The Democrats, in collusion with dirtbag RINOs like Mitt Romney, conspired to steal the 2020 election in order to get rid of Trump.  Bannon’s crew played the clip of Romney, and then Bannon unloaded on “Mittens.” Indeed, he went after the whole rotten Romney clan.  If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth the watch, as Bannon goes into the sort of clean-up needed in the feckless Republican Party. Here’s the video, courtesy of Bannon’s Rumble channel:


(You can also catch the show on WarRoom.org, and what’s unique about the show is that it’s on from 10-Noon Eastern, and again from 5-6 Eastern, providing three hours of news, interviews, and information each weekday, and usually on Saturday also.)

Everything Bannon says in this video about Mitt Romney is correct.  He’s also correct about the fact that we, who actually tried in earnest to get Romney across the finish line in 2012, ought to remember how this guy is now sticking the shiv in our backs.

 

The State Funeral Rush Limbaugh Deserves

Thursday, February 18th, 2021

A Man, a Legend, a Way of Life

I was a young veteran with a family. Times were tough in the economy, and troops were deployed and deploying to the vast desert of the Arabian peninsula. I was working a temporary contract job on Fort Hood, Texas, in support of the troops training to augment that deployment. Saddam Hussein had been delivered an ultimatum: Withdraw from Kuwait or be expelled forcibly. Everybody was monitoring the news, and in the field supporting the troops with spare gear and equipment in a rented truck, I tuned that truck’s radio(that had only the AM band) to find the latest information. There was this guy on the radio playing parody songs and talking politics, and one of those songs was a take on “Barbara Ann” the lyrics having been re-written into Bomb Iraq. It was entertaining and informative, and I’d never heard anything like it. Rush Limbaugh was leading the nation to support our troops, to buoy morale of the American people, and Democrats were busy telling America that the war, if it came, would result in the slaughter of tens or hundreds of thousands of American soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines.

The Democrats saw this as a revival of the discord of Vietnam. Rush Limbaugh saw it differently: He believed American might would steamroll Hussein and his forces. The media was, as ever, taking(or advancing) the Democrats’ narrative. The war began, and for a month, the reports of airstrikes rolled on, the reports of Iraqi fighter jets fleeing to Iran mounted, and when the ground war commenced, it was over almost before one could catch up with the news. It was a stunning victory, and in those days I learned something that was contrary to what the media propaganda had told me: America was great, and this guy on the radio, Rush Limbaugh, had been exactly right. For this alone, for his boundless confidence in the American servicemembers, Rush Limbaugh deserved a great honor. In all the years since, in his tireless support of America, he not only earned our respect, but has earned an honor the official government will never bestow. Rush Limbaugh deserves a state funeral on par with an American President, because in so many ways, and for so many people, in all the days spanning the period from the end of the Reagan Presidency to the inauguration of Donald Trump, Limbaugh had been conservative America’s presidency-in-exile, giving voice to a vast swath of America that was in a constant state of siege and disparagement by the Washington DC elite.

I had been raised in a union Democrat home, but through my years in the Army, I had begun to question the orthodoxy. Rush used humor as a means to entertain the audience while delivering serious information. As Rush would say in various forms over the years, the critical heart of humor is truth: There must be universal truth in a thing for it to be funny to the audience, or they won’t “get it.” In those days, Rush had various impromptu “updates” of various sorts and topics, with various songs and parodies as the introductory themes. This was delicious humor, and to listen to somebody on the radio skewering the sacred cows of the leftist mob was particularly entertaining. As a young guy at the time, it was all quite appealing to me. Rush was ever the defender of America, and when Japanese Parliament Speaker Yoshio Sakurauchi in January 1992 called America’s workers “lazy,” Rush had a single-sentence answer, posed as a question:

“We build a damn fine bomb, don’t we?”

The left shrieked. The political class in Washington DC gnashed its collective teeth. How dare Limbaugh say such a thing? Rush had intimated that the atomic bombs dropped on Japan were the hallmark of American creativity and productiveness, but more broadly, that the “lazy” American worker Yoshio Sakurauchi had criticized had kicked Japan’s Imperial ass all over the Pacific after the cowardly sneak attack at Pearl Harbor. Rush was right again, and he defended America’s history and unique culture as the greatest in human history. Rush believed in American exceptionalism, and he was its unabashed advocate for all the years he was on the radio. This should have earned Rush a state funeral, because more than any other American, he believed in America and sung her praises, recognizing her warts, but knowing that America is great because at its heart, “the people who make the country work” are the salt of the Earth, and the people who go about making it great by the aggregation of their tens of millions of individual efforts.

In truth, we could go through most of the events of the last thirty years and show how Rush Limbaugh had been the voice of a nation, who offered a counter-argument to the mainstream media, and had served as a proxy for the President we would have elected had we been a more sane, rational country. The problem has always been the advancing elements of the hard left, and Rush was ever there to warn us about their latest tricks, traps, and subterfuges. He really was on the cutting edge of societal evolution, and he held up the nation when we needed a voice of calm and sanity.

He single-handedly saved the AM band on radio, He created the genre that is talk radio. Certainly, there had been talkshows on the radio before, but it was mostly a bunch of drivel or interview-based shows. Rush built it. Now we enjoy hundreds of talk-shows, the AM band is far bigger in terms of daily listenership, and the statistics are quite clear: Rush made our modern world, and before these combined-platform news and information shows began to proliferate, there was Rush 24/7. He set so many trends, and showed the way forward in an industry that had been dying.

Steve Bannon said that Rush had been a bridge from Reagan to Trump. This is self-evident, but there’s more to it than this. He understood something I had missed. I think many of us missed it on the conservative side. In 2016, many conservatives gravitated to the candidacy of Ted Cruz. I had become a bit annoyed by Rush, because it was clear to me that he favored Trump. Like many conservatives, I didn’t understand why. Cruz seemed to be a genuine conservative, and while Rush didn’t demean Cruz, Rush went as far as to say that he(Rush himself) had never really been a “movement conservative.” That seemed to fly in the face of what Rush had been telling us for the decades we’d been listening. To a degree, I felt a little betrayed.

In the end, I grudgingly voted for Trump like so many conservatives who might have preferred a more doctrinaire conservative candidate. It wasn’t until some time after Trump’s inauguration that I finally realized what Rush had meant, and what he’d been telling us. Ted Cruz, for all his conservative positions, is just another politician, just one more creature of Washington DC. Yes, he’s better than most, but in the main, he’s revolved around DC and the DC set for much of his career. He certainly has better instincts for the grass roots of the conservatives, but I think that owes to the fact that Cruz is amazingly smart. What Ted Cruz isn’t is what America needed more desperately: Somebody who could win.

What Rush saw in Trump now, belatedly, makes perfect sense once you recognize the real, central issue, which I’d missed at the time: There’s no point having a putatively conservative candidate who is part of the UniParty oligopoly that has failed us repeatedly since 1988. In Trump, Rush saw an outsider who loves his country, warts and all, and who may not be a doctrinaire conservative, but because he comes from a place of common sense, would govern functionally as a conservative. More importantly, Trump had nothing personal to gain from the Presidency, except perhaps satisfaction in saving and restoring America. For the entirety of his presidency, Donald Trump donated his entire presidential salary. All of it. His presidency should rightly be viewed as a colossal gift to the American people. If not for the media, we’d have known this.

Rush was right. Always two steps ahead of the media and the political intelligentsia, Rush intuitively understood his role in American politics and culture. Every day, millions hung on his words. Every day, millions tuned into his show, and he formed an anchor for most talk stations’ lineups, but also for America. Rush loved life. Rush brought a whole back-bench of under-studies to America. He elevated them. He elevated us all. When I look back over the thirty years since I first heard his voice, I realize just how much Rush gave to us all. Every day, year after year, he kept me abreast of most of the things that mattered. He told conservative America how to fight. He offered entertainment and wisdom. He gave valuable insights from a value base so fundamental to what America is, and has been. Whether I live another week or decade, I will miss Rush for all days of my life, like a friend or an older brother. “What would Rush say?” He made us all smarter, and he made America immeasurably greater. Of all the politicians who’ve enjoyed the honors of official Washington DC in passing, none of them, save perhaps Ronald Reagan, had meant as much to our country as Rush Limbaugh. If there were true justice, all flags across this nation would for a week be at half-mast, and the parades in honor of Rush would speak to the triumph of a great life and great man who lived and fought with all his love for a nation that had scarcely deserved him.

 

 

Stunning Navarro Report in Three Parts

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2021

Full Report by Peter Navarro

If you haven’t followed this closely, you’re missing some excellent analysis. Peter Navarro, formerly a Trump Administration economic/trade advisor, assembled a stunning set of reports comprising the total report on the election theft that occurred in 2020. If you read this, you’ll know how the election was stolen, and why so many of us regard the Biden Presidency as a completely illegitimate fraud. Here are the three parts:

Newsmax Joins the Suppression Crew

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2021

People need to see this stunning video of Newsmax treating Mike Lindell like garbage. I ditched FoxNews for this sort of thing. What makes Newsmax think they’re immune? I’m very glad I’ve been sticking to One America News. I always worried Newsmax was part of the “professional conservativing” establishment in DC. (Q: “What do you do for a living?”  A: “I conservative.”)

I’m adding this from Rumble, because I’ve had reports that the Youtube version of the video has been unavailable:

If this is how they treat Lindell, then you can imagine what they think of the rest of us. Newsmax just lost me. I don’t need cowardly news.
