Dear KAG: 20220823 Open Thread

This is definitely not my favorite time of the year, but at least the news is providing some wins.

Fauci Out

The modern Narcissus known as Anthony Fauci announces his departure:

STATEMENT – “I am announcing today that I will be stepping down from the positions of Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation, as well as the position of Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden. I will be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career.” (more)

I’d say, buh-bye, but it seems that he might not be out of our hair and ready for prosecution just yet:

Lockdown Architect Anthony Fauci Quits to Write a Book

Has Fauci’s presence become a liability to the Biden administration and the Democrats generally? Perhaps but there is also the issue of book royalties that await him once leaving his post with government. The New York Times explains: “While he has been working on a memoir, Dr. Fauci said he did not yet have a publisher. In an interview last year, he said he was precluded from contracting with a publisher while he was still employed by the government.”

Both factors could explain the decision. He will wait for his final departure until after the November election. 

More fire starters for the book publishers to launder cash.

There is, though, this:

Patri0tsareinContr0l ️️️

Dr. Fauci operated in the shadows for most of his 38 years as the Director of NIAID. But once COVID was released, President Trump put him front and center for the whole world to see just how corrupt he & our infectious disease institutions were.

We experienced firsthand that the taxpayer-funded institutions that were supposed to be protecting the public, are in fact actively working to harm us via bioweapons & dangerous vaccinations.

We have President Trump to thank for exposing all of this.

Enough of the attention whore. Let’s see what else I’ve got stashed.

Trump files motion asking for special master to go through documents seized from Mar-a-Lago

Former President Donald Trump filed a motion Monday demanding federal investigators stop going through material seized from his Mar-a-Lago mansion earlier this month until a neutralspecial master could be appointed to review the records.

The 27-page filing in Florida federal court also asked for the federal government to provide more detail about what was seized in the Aug. 8 raid on the 45th president’s Palm Beach estate and demanded the Justice Department return any item not covered by the search warrant.

“We are now demanding that the Department of ‘Justice’ be instructed to immediately STOP the review of documents illegally seized from my home. ALL documents have been previously declassified,” Trump said in a statement on his Truth Social platform soon after the motion was filed.

The former president went on to call the FBI’s raid an “unnecessary, unwarranted, and unAmerican break-in” that violated his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.

The filing, which is the first by Trump’s side since the raid, suggests the FBI search was politically motivated – calling it a “shockingly aggressive move” that was undertaken with “no understanding of the distress that it would cause most Americans.”

A Potential Republican Club Midterm Strategy – Nationalize the January 2021 Georgia Outcome

Acceptance is the first step.

  • If we accept or acknowledge the RNC and DNC are private corporations, existing like all other corporations to the fulfilment of their for-profit charter, to make money; and
  • If we accept or acknowledge their business model is structured around people and businesses giving them money; and
  • If we accept or acknowledge that in the process of raising money their interests may or may not align with the goal of those contributing to the business; and
  • If we accept the history that Mitch McConnell and the RNC worked purposefully to remove the influence of the Tea Party; then
  • This factually accurate statement from Steve Deace takes on a new meaning:

[…] “the GOP (club) would rather lose to Democrats than lose control of the [club] to it’s base.”  Electability boils down to the right kind of approved candidate.

That is an accurate context for this midterm election cycle. Factually, the income stream for the RNC improves if they have the ability to campaign against the opposition club.  The larger the outrage, the more substantial the fundraising.  The corporation makes more money in defeat, or in the minority, than it does when it wins or holds majorities.

The GOP Is Doing Its Best To Lose The November Election

Republicans don’t care. They’re complaining about Biden’s spending, bemoaning government overreach, and sanctioning Putin. Those issues aren’t going to return the GOP to power, but Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Ronna McDaniel seem sanguine. Their lives don’t change if the GOP doesn’t take back Congress. They’ll still rule their little fiefdoms, still be invited to Georgetown cocktail parties to be feted by lobbyists and, of course, they’ll still be on Sunday morning shows to feign outrage for the latest Democrat policy.

For these grifters, the only difference between winning and losing in November is having to work for the American people…something they’re loathe to do.

Liz Cheney Creates PAC for Sole Purpose of Removing Republicans from Office and Supporting Democrats

Ms. Cheney has transferred the remaining $7 million from her leadership PAC, mostly provided by democrat donor activists and Wall Street allies, into a new Political Action Committee created to attack undesirable republican politicians and benefit Democrats.

More on Liz in the Tweet section.

Donald the Dynasty Slayer

American dynasty names are familiar – Kennedy, Bush, Cheney, McCain, Clinton – just to name a few. These families believe they are entitled to power and wealth simply by virtue of their last names. Political office is their right, regardless of what they do with this power, and they band together in opposition to any challenge to this power.

Despite being of different political parties, they are actually far more similar than different. It is like a group of country club kids creating two baseball or basketball teams, one wearing red shirts, the other blue shirts, but at the end of the game, the shirts come off and the kids all have a fine dinner at the club, then return to their mansions along the golf course, often next door to each other.

This entitled class is known as the ruling class, the establishment, or the elites. It is like the country club where you can’t enjoy the perks of membership without an invitation from existing members….

But before he entered politics, Trump was most certainly in the club, a darling of American elites, posing for photographs with presidents, celebrities, and athletes. He hosted a wildly popular television reality show and was a frequent guest of Oprah and other liberal club members.

When he came down the escalator at Trump Tower in June 2015 announcing his improbable candidacy for the presidency, his club membership was put on probation. At first the elites thought his candidacy a novelty, a joke on America, a scheme to sell books or promote his celebrity and television endeavors.

Mar-a-Lago and the Abyss

The Evil of the Anti-Liberty Left

However, for some reason, some always work to mystify and muck up the political spectrum issue.  They constantly exploit language to hide factual reality.  Why would they do this?  Do they gain some advantage over society by muddying the waters?

Are You on Team Liberty or Team Tyranny?

Militias composed of volunteers, represent and make effective the spontaneous order arising from free citizens. Standing armies directed by monarchs or other powerful executives, by contrast, make real and all too imposing the kind of top-down, coercive order imposed by oligarchies and tyrants.

It’s for this reason that so many of our Founding fathers were suspicious of standing armies, and initially reluctant to found one. They had seen that state militias played a crucial role in the French and Indian War. George Washington himself had led Virginia militiamen who held together and saved the British retreat after the catastrophic defeat of army regulars at the Battle of the Monongahela in 1755. His heroic actions that day helped make him famous, and launch him in politics.

The new epidemic of self-silencing plagues America

A new study by the Populace organization revealed the obvious: that Americans are “self-silencing” — people saying what they think others want to hear rather than what they truly feel.

People often reshape their privately held views to conform to what they think their group believes, despite that assessment frequently being inaccurate. This causes the illusion of consensus.

The following are two of the most significant revelations from the study:

  • Four times as many Democrats say Corporate CEOs should take a public stand on social issues (44%) than actually care (11%).
  • On Education, one in three Democrats think parents should have more influence over public school curriculum, however, only one in four dares to say it publicly.

Biden Admin Running ‘World’s Epicenter’ of Child Trafficking: Former White House Adviser

A former White House adviser, Stephen Miller, accused the Biden administration of turning the United States into the “world’s epicenter” of child trafficking due to the administration’s border policies.

“These astronomical numbers defy any historical comparison. So overwhelmingly are the prior records exceeded that there is no reference point. Biden, with the unflinching aid of 50 Senate Democrats, is running the largest child smuggling operation our world has ever seen,” Miller wrote on Twitter over the weekend in response to a report finding that some 250,000 children crossed the border and were sent to “sponsors” since President Joe Biden entered office last year.

Miller, who was one of the Trump administration’s architects and currently heads the America First Legal group, added in a separate interview that the policy is creating “the largest child smuggling epidemic in human history.”

“It has enriched virtually every major child smuggler in the hemisphere and far beyond. It has filled the ranks of MS-13. It has created a monstrous industry of vast global reach,” he told the Washington Examiner on Monday. “And it has made America’s border into the world’s epicenter of labor trafficking, sex trafficking, and modern-day slavery.”

New CNN CEO Tells Employees, ‘You Might Not Like or Understand’ What’s Coming

Licht discovered, to his horror, that the network was massively dependent on Donald Trump for ratings. Without Trump to headline CNN’s news coverage, no one was very much interested in the biased commentary and left-wing slant to the news that became CNN’s hallmark.

CNN’s profits are expected to fall below $1 billion for the first time in many years. And its prime-time coverage is drawing less than 700,000 viewers a night. Clearly, Licht had to do something.

Friday morning, Licht convened a virtual editorial meeting to discuss some of the changes he wants to make at the network.

“I want to acknowledge that this is a time of significant change, and I know that many of you are unsettled,” Licht said, according to the Hollywood Reporter, who quoted multiple people on the call. “There will be more changes, and you might not understand it or like it.”

The new owner seems to be cleaning house.

Lighthizer Wins the Long Game

Since leaving office, the former ambassador has refused paid board positions because of his expectation that they would “limit [his] ability to speak on the issues,” but has accepted positions at a number of advocacy groups; he is the chair of the Center for American Trade at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), board member at Oren Cass’s American Compass, and advisor at Mike Pence’s Advancing American Freedom. On the week of our interview, he sat for a panel at AFPI’s summit and offered a keynote at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s American Economic Forum. He continues to write editorials for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and is working on a book that will combine elements of policy prescription and memoir.

Simply put, Lighthizer is using his time in relative retirement “building up that consensus, lobbying through these institutions, [and] meeting with people.” His record proves that he’s good at building consensus, lobbying, and meeting.

J.R.R. is ‘Right Out’, Rings of Power is Perfect For Those Who Always Felt There Was Too Much Tolkien in Lord of the Rings

People with ZERO talent long had no options for expressing themselves, and since most of them were democRATs they finally used their Borg hive mind to come up with a scheme to steal the work of others (usually a book) and after changing it to suit their world view (communism) pass it off as the original work in a movie or on TV then gaslight so few people notice. This has nothing to do with black vs white, and everything to do with leftists intentionally ruining things they did not create AND also it only ever going in one direction on the race swapping. Black people are just (usually) their weapon of choice and one has to wonder why they insult non-whites with personalized knockoffs of white culture anyway and why that is readily accepted.

Which brings us to the upcoming Amazon streaming series ‘The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power’[SIC] a prequel which has little to do with LotR and they know it. “It felt only natural to us that an adaptation of Tolkien’s work would reflect what the world actually looks like” said one asshat (Lindsey Weber) involved in this crapfest. The only problem is Tolkien (a white British male philologist; expert on and inventor of languages) described HIS world, and you want to set the story in YOUR world.

Messing with the classics is a big no-no.

Something to remember, always.

Per the boss’s instruction:

I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.

Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

PSALMS 96:10-13

10Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.” 11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; 12let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy 13before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.

MATTHEW 23:23-26

23“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 24You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel! 25“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of extortion and rapacity. 26You blind Pharisee! first cleanse the inside of the cup and of the plate, that the outside also may be clean.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
