Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

This is an X thread that I told Aubergine about a while back, which I thought would be of interest to her because it borders on her metaphysical beliefs about time, God, and the universe.
The thread concerns a cosmological hypothesis which demonstrates that not only is time not absolute in our universe – the relativistic nature of time has resulted in UNEVEN AGING within the universe, due to the uneven nature of matter. There appear to be differences of age of billions of years between different parts of the universe, just according to their own clocks.
To be clear, the ages are still billions of years everywhere, but they’re different billions. Time has run faster (more billions) in the voids, and slower (fewer billions) near concentrations of matter, like clusters of galaxies.
Not only does this finer-grained look at time offer more physical and cosmological certainty about the rate of expansion of the universe – it helps us think more precisely about time at a metaphysical level. When we realize that time isn’t even homogeneous within our universe, it helps us to break free from the assumption that any kind of time, corresponding to our own, much less an absolute time similar to our own natural reckoning, necessarily exists beyond or outside of our own universe. When we try to consider a God capable of existing “outside of time”, we should consider the possibility that “time” itself may not even apply.
Try to follow along with this fascinating thread, which has sat in a long-preserved tab which I can now close!

This could be an incredible revolution in Cosmology.
The Dark Energy model of the universe, which won a Nobel Prize in 2011, may be completely wrong.
The accelerating expansion instead is simply because time runs faster in the voids between galaxies.
The standard workhorse of cosmology for the last 25 years has been the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) which assumes the universe is roughly homogenous.

In 1929 Edwin Hubble made an incredible discovery: the further away a galaxy was, the faster it appeared to be moving away from this. He was able to determine this by measuring Cepheid variable stars, which have a consistent relationship between their brightness and pulsation period, and so they can act as excellent distance markers. Using these markers Hubble found that the more distant a galaxy was, the more red-shifted its spectrum of light became, meaning it was moving away from us at a higher velocity. The further the distance to a galaxy, the faster it was receding. Therefore, the universe was expanding.

The fact the universe was expanding meant Lambda was no longer necessary to balance out gravity, and Einstein called it his 'greatest blunder' pic.twitter.com/haDwARAwDk
If you run this expanding universe backwards in time, it seems like everything is expanding from a single origin point, and in the 1960s astronomers detected faint radio signals coming from all directions in space.
This model of the universe, where things started from a single origin and uniformly expanded outwards, dominated for decades until the 1990s. Astronomers were looking at Type Ia supernova at high redshift to see how the expansion of the universe was slowing down over time Type 1a supernova are useful as ‘standard candles’ because they have constant brightness, since they form by a star stripping mass from its neighboring binary partner until they reach the Chanradesekar limit from below, at which point they expldoe. So, they always explode with the same energy and brightness.

Instead, at high redshift they found that supernova were much dimmer than expected than if the expansion had been slowed down by gravity.
On the contrary, the rate of expansion appeared to be accelerated. Lambda, the cosmological constant, was so back. pic.twitter.com/X4wZI3iVmo
This is the current mainstream cosmological model. Dark Energy, a mysterious unknown entity that makes accounts for 69% of the total energy constant, drives a constant volumetric expansion of space. More space means more expansion, which is why the size is accelerating. pic.twitter.com/1sLWsMTmn0
Mass curves spacetime to produce gravity. But, there's no difference between being accelerated by gravity or accelerating from a rocket.
This is called Einsteins Equivalence principle, and applying it to inhomogenous cosmology may eliminate Dark Energy altogether pic.twitter.com/dfmnphnf7n
This is because the further down a gravitational well you are, the slower clocks run compared to clocks further up-well.
You can reason this yourself if you consider bouncing a photon between two mirrors at the top and bottom of an accelerating rocket. Exercise for the reader pic.twitter.com/eSry9h7vdu
The important thing is this: In the voids between large galaxies time runs much faster than inside galaxies, and these voids are inhomogenous.
If you had an initial expansion of the universe from the Big Bang, more time has elapsed in the voids – possibly billions of years more pic.twitter.com/WqzWAccwtu
The researchers behind the Timescape model, as its known, used the familiar Type 1a supernova as standard candles and compared a goodness-of-fit Bayesian statistics to assess how timescape versus LCDM model can explain the observed redshift pic.twitter.com/WHoqjkz4x9

Now, you can do a lot of statistical trickery to get a favored result to your own pet theory. Why should Timescape model be taken seriously? Two big reasons: – The universe is emphatically not homogenous, and so void regions DO have a faster clock-rate than galactic superclusters and filaments and this should be accounted for in any model of expansion. – Dark Energy is supposed to make up ~2/3rds of the universe’s energy content yet doesn’t correspond to anything we’ve ever observed experimentally. It solely exists to explain this anomaly of distant supernova redshift. In the timescape model, the universe very well may be slowing down in expansion after some initial Big Bang event – its yet to be determined. The future fate of the cosmos seems still to be determined as advances in cosmology regularly demand we revisit our models.
So there you have it. Does it make sense?

Having been made too dubious by so many liars, I tracked that down to a source, which includes even more interesting material.
Yup, I said we would start back on Declaration signers today. Going to need to postpone that to next Tuesday’s opener. If I do not discuss the following I will probably forget and it is sneakily more important to the big picture of what our VSGPOTUS is doing than many realize. It is the industry in which I made my living as readers of BIMD will remember.
Small Business Acts of Importance
These links are short summaries – will not take long to read.
Let’s answer that question with a simple statement that has been true for many, many years. Approximately half of the employed people in America work for who the federal government classifies as small businesses.
Must be kind of a big deal, right?
I am focusing on CEASE because of industry knowledge and experience. However, all seven Acts are very important and part of the much larger puzzle of what PDT is piecing together. Notice that all seven passed out of Committee along party lines at 15-11.
America should really stop pretending that bipartisanship can exist consistently. That idea is trash. It was promoted by the Uniparty for decades as a means for selling their dedication to American citizens, which we now know was hogwash. If you hear the word being sold by a politician or media propagandist you know what side they are on. Full stop.
Concerning all of the Acts passed in the committee, please notice that they are not all about small business necessarily. The SBA as an agency is a means to an end with some of the acts. It is also about using the agency as a weapon against illegal voter registration, against sanctuary cities, to cut regulatory burdens, and against climate change related scams.
Some on here will remember my recent posts about a fellow co-worker from my tree that took over a small business lending department for a bank in our area after I retired. He recently called and was distraught; considering early retirement over what Brandon and cronies did to the industry. They had opened the floodgates for borrower loan requests over $1 million and did not care if they were citizens or not or even if they were creditworthy. As a result fraud was rampant, delinquencies and defaults were soaring, and the agency was not honoring their guaranties on defaulted loans of even the honest lenders on a timely basis. In fact, they were trying to renege as often as they could. It had all turned into one giant clusterf–k.
i told him to be patient as I felt it would be addressed soon by the Trump admin and MAGA elected officials. Many of them experienced great heartburn over PPP program fraud that was administered by SBA during COVID. We see the results of their and the banking industry’s concerns in the bills linked above. We also see greatly improved internal policy decisions that reflect the changes below. Effective June 1, that hammer fell. All SBA lenders and small business borrowers must comply with the following revised, common sense, sound credit parameters and requirements to obtain SBA guaranteed loans.
Most were parameters that were already required in some format and/or amount during my career that effectively ended on a full time basis 17 years ago. That they were not followed in the years since simply points to the systematic destruction of critically important financing options for small business owners who do not ordinarily qualify for conventional financing options at banks and other lenders. Brandon’s bunch desired the opposite to increase funds for the woke and money launderers.
The primary purpose of this private/public partnership between banks and the federal government is to provide capital to small businesses that need and deserve support. In turn they grow, provide products and services to the public, pay taxes, provide incomes and benefits to owners and employees, play important parts in communities and so on. In summary, they participate in the American Way. Many successfully become larger businesses and iconic brands that employ even larger numbers of people. However, it is true that many big businesses do not want increased competition. As a result they play politics with their smaller competitors to retain market share.
Which leads to the Main Street versus Wall Street tension that SD at TCTH discusses as well as in discussion within our federal government today. The former party of big business only is now the party of Main Street as well with the America First policies of the MAGA movement, thanks to the efforts of the patriots in league with PDT. The internal tension within the GOP will be to keep the playing field level for both big and small business. Which makes the next topics encouraging for us Main Street types.
CEASE Act
Some may ask why would an act be necessary to limit the number of non-bank lenders who could be active in SBA lending programs? Here is what led to it,
The truth is some of the non-bank small business lenders with licenses, SBLC’s, typically are bottom feeders. Some only meet minimum capitalization requirements and receive funding from other wholesale lenders at a higher cost of funds than banks typically realize. They also are not subject to regulatory scrutiny of the banking industry. That can lead to some shady dealings at times.
As a result some SBLC’s typically take more risk and charge borrowers higher interest rates to counter. As a natural consequence they experience higher delinquency rates and loan defaults. Like many other bank lenders in the program, they sell participations in the SBA guaranteed portions of loans to investors such as hedge funds, pension funds, insurance companies, credit unions, etc, that are usually represented by investment brokerage houses. The lack of credit worthiness of some of their customers impacts the overall performance of the pools of loans that go into securitizations that are sold to the end investors. This reduces their value over time, which reduces the premium offered to all lenders in the programs. It is not fair to thousands of banks that a handful of SBLC’s acting in bad faith are allowed to spoil the debt market barrel for the product. Not to mention the extra work created for SBA’s liquidation area on defaulted loans.
This is a weakness for all types of debt markets on Wall Street. it was the underlying cause of the debt market collapse of 2008 leading into The Great Recession. So what is the primary that weakness that can cause a nation’s economy to crumble? The Wall Street buyers of all types of loans are not “credit” people as bankers view credit. For example, bankers view credit from the perspective of the 5 C’s of credit, which bank regulators like from the FDIC understand and consider in their reviews. Those categories are character, capacity, capital, collateral and conditions. Commercial bankers are trained in the long established methodology of making loans to borrowers who are most likely to repay the bank back on time. This is the Main Street view – know your borrower and how they handle their business.
Wall Street sees credit differently. They do not drill down into individual loans to determine viability. They view historical performance of industries (SIC codes) and locational aspects along with loan pool average interest rates, terms, collateral, industry concentrations, etc. as the credit of the overall deal. They rely on rating agencies – S&P, Moody’s and Fitch to ascertain their overall rating of each pool of loans. The ratings agencies typically only review a small sampling of loans and are more interested in the documentation being correctly executed. To Wall Street, those are the factors that provide the credit worthiness of the macro pool of loans, not the micro individual loans themselves.
In my opinion this void in understanding credit was a major cause of the Great Recession because it happened in every type of debt instrument – residential mortgages, car loans, credit cards, commercial real estate, etc. This led to the banker version of credit being undercut by the crappy underwriting of non-bank lenders in all of those business segments, industries, and locations. Wall Street purchased huge volumes of loans from those sources in many overheated markets. When the borrowers began tanking on their loans in large numbers as the economy and job markets cooled, caused by politicians primarily, the funding for new loans in even stable industries also dried up. The institutional buyers were deservedly spooked and sought safe harbor in treasuries and other more stable investments. All of the insurance coverage with hedges, swaps and such went down with it. The Great Recession kicked in.
As it applies to SBA lending, when lesser performing SBLC’s provide lower quality loans to a mixed pool involving other lenders, they can taint the whole pool and hide crap loans. SBLC loans are mixed into pools with those of banks. Everybody is affected. As you will see below, they rack up some profits short term and once the crap begins to hit the fan – poof – they are gone.
Current Status
Below is the list of active SBLC’s as of 1/29/25 with authorization to make loans up to $5 million.
Alaska Growth Capital BIDCO, Inc. Nationwide Arkansas Capital Corp. Nationwide Centerstone SBA Lending, Inc. Nationwide CRF Small Business Loan Company, LLC Nationwide First Western SBLC, Inc Nationwide Grow America Fund, Inc. Nationwide Harvest Small Business Finance, LLC Nationwide Lendistry SBLC, LLC Nationwide Lendstream Small Business Finance, LLC Nationwide Port 51 Lending, LLC Nationwide Readycap Lending, LLC Nationwide VelocitySBA, LLC Nationwide
Notice anything about the current list? There are 16 licenses authorized by the past act before Brandon and gang removed that restriction, at which time it went up to 19 approved lenders when they approved three new lender licenses. I will address an even worse atrocity associated with the 2023 changes involving the creation of special purpose lending companies later in this text below.
Currently, it is back to 16 authorized SBLC licenses again, yet, there are only 12 licensed lenders as of the beginning of PDT’s term of office. What happened to the four that were approved in the second half of 2024 – Cooperative Business Services (CBS), A10 Capital, Lafayette Square and Stonehenge Capital as replacements for four others who dropped out previously? They are not on the current list.
This is because their applications did not get activated with required Congressional approvals in time before PDT assumed office, so they lost out with PDT coming in. We also know one of the current licensees, Lendstream, has not made any SBA loans since 2022. They should not even have the license if they are going to be inactive, so something is “off” there. We also know that one of Brandon’s newbie three, Funding Circle, closed its operations soon after it started. Two were added that are still on the list, Alaska and Arkansas. So, sometime in 2024 they also replaced two that dropped off the list. That means a total of 6 lenders were approved to replace 6 on the list in 2024 and three were added above the former 16 limit, one of which failed. That is a movement of 9 non-bank licensed lenders in a year. That leaves 11 that are actually making SBA loans out of 16 authorized slots in 2025.
Needless to say making fraudulent loans to formerly ineligible customers (i. e. illegals) by criminal enterprises using federal guaranties on the majority of the loans that create extra profits for the subject non-bank lenders is a recipe for disaster for the programs, SBA and Americans. The current admin is taking the approach of eliminating that possibility in opposition to Brandon and the Uniparty who had that as their MO for SBLC’s since banks are more controlled by Congressional acts as well as regulatory authorities.
Hypothetically, let’s say you are a higher up in a cartel and you have established some seemingly legit businesses to launder cash through. In the past you could invest into an SBLC with the Brandon regime’s approval through a shell company or other legit business. You would then have the ability to influence or otherwise approve loans to other connected businesses to pull cash and/or launder money. In those businesses there would probably be hordes of illegals as employees who were given some form of legal resident status by Brandon’s crims, which undoubtedly also led to some being illegally registered as voters, Medicaid recipients, Social Security recipients and so on. All of the above would support Dem politicians and designees.
Is some of this making sense now? SBA is just one agency of the federal government that was used for these type purposes, there were many more.
In my personal opinion, that cartel/crim scenario probably applied to more than one of the exited licensed lenders including the ones discussed in the link below. The legit SBLC’s generally make enough good loans to help cover for the excessive bad loans of the crims, who have lower loan volumes as they attempt to stay under the radar. The loan volume of the better lenders is higher and they have received SBA’s highly desired Preferred Lender status rating, which means they do things right. I know several of the leaders of these quality lenders; did business with one CEO when he was employed at a well known SBLC from BIMD.
The following SBA press release from a month ago gives clarity and examples of an explosion of the new special purpose SBLC’s that Brandon’s crims put in place.
From the link; “However, in 2023, the Biden Administration revived Community Advantage and approved more than 140 new, unregulated lenders for the program, selectively certifying groups including “The Progress Fund,” “PeopleFund,” and “Black Business Investment Fund.” It then attempted to increase the loan limit for the program from $250,000 to $500,000 – or up to $2 million to fund climate-related projects in support of the Green New Scam.”
SBA as an agency and the industry was a goner if PDT had not won. Obviously the agency was a major source of fraud and money laundering using leftist scams and illegals.
Conclusion
All of these current congressional activities tell me the Trump admin is all over it and knows the game the crims have been playing. The plug is being pulled and it is a GREAT thing for America in many areas of concern.
Please remember Wolf’s rules for our community. In general that means to be respectful to each other and to pull no shenanigans that your mom might find offensive or otherwise cause jail time. That said, free speech is honored here.

I am going to toss up some of my old notes plus stuff I have just gleaned from the Qtree and from commenters on X. I am not always going to include names, so Hat tips to everyone, especially the Meme Makers and other researchers on X.
OLD NOTES
I want to include this information as background. Some of the links may be dead.
Given recent happenings this should be of interest.
“FBI Uncovers Secret Gangs of Tattooed Los Angeles Deputies
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has launched a probe into multiple gangs hidden within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The Banditos, Spartans, Regulators, and Reapers are literal gangs that exist within the roughly 10,000 members of the Los Angeles law enforcement agency. The investigation was triggered by allegations of abuse by the Banditos in March.
Each member of the Banditos is tattooed with a skeleton wearing a sombrero, bandolier, and pistol. Allegations against them include using gang tactics to recruit young Latino deputies, and punishing those who reject their advances.”
As a 30+ year resident of this town, I know first hand the ineptitude of these “officers.” Disrespectful to peaceful people, thuggish attitude and general incompetence are their trademarks. The liberal courts have neutered the force into poverty managers, with racial and sexual setasides for the otherwise incapable applicants. Meanwhile enormous homade tents are erected on every public sidewalk while these “officers” ride on by, doing their community policing (ie fistbumping gangbangers).
Then we go to one of the Operation Gladio videos I wrote about recently. OPERATION GLADIO – CHAPTER 47 – “USAID-Office of Public Safety” PART 5 – EP.394
24:45 Colonel: A little bit about that international police academy you just read about. This is the one set-up in DC.
The OPS-operated International Police Academy (IPA) was instituted in 1963, and provided training to 7500 senior officers from seventy-seven countries in total.[1][15] Its first class included sixty-eight police officers from seventeen different nations.[16] The officers were trained at the Georgetown Car Barn in Washington, D.C.[17] Until the early 1970s, selected candidates could also receive training from CIA officers at the U.S. Border Patrol academy in Los Fresnos, Texas, including the making of bombs and incendiary devices.
Role of the LAPD
The OPS conducted a form of international knowledge exchange by recruiting ordinary US police officers for ‘short-term tours of duty’ on overseas police assistance projects. The LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) was a major source of such officers, partly because a significant proportion of them spoke Spanish.[21]
LAPD officers were sent to Venezuela in 1962 to train local police officers and assist them in repression against the Armed Forces of National Liberation (AFNL).[10] Officers were also sent to the Dominican Republic in the same year; there was significant popular unrest following the CIA-backed assassination of dictator Rafael Trujillo, and Dominican police were struggling to keep order and train officers.[22]
27:15 Colonel: LAPD was not the only one, but it was one that was used. So basically they are sending US police officers TDY, to this locations. Wait until you hear what they do. So our police officers were being exposed to the CIA and probably often times recruited into being informants for the CIA while still being police officers. Because we know that is to hide the drug trafficking and stuff like that and if they catch one of the CIA guys in the drug network, it is just a matter of calling up one of your buddies that went on a deployment with you from the LAPD and saying Dude, he is one of ours leave him a lone. That is why they never get prosecuted.
28:05 Alpha: And just so everybody knows, that this really happens, I have been on the receiving end of those phone calls before. Where I was told Hey, and this is from some of the people you have worked with in the federal task force. And they say Hey, you have got one of ours, he is on our paperwork man. So do not hit him with new charges. Do what you are doing but don’t do this. And you are taking it like this. I have know this guy for years, we have been on teams together, I have got one of their informants. I do not want to compromise their informant. I do not want to compromise their investigation, so of course you go along with it.
And then you have to look back and wonder, did I stop one of their Gladio assets. And more scary than that Colonel, LAPD is one of the police department here in California that is giving badges to people who are NOT US CITIZENS.
29:05 – 29:30Colonel: After they train people in foreign countries to do all kinds of horrendous things…

Back to my older notes:
The Illegals goal is ANNEXING USA TERRITORY as shown above. It is no secret.
Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) called for mass immigration to the United States during a speech Tuesday declaring it a “human right” for all North Americans....
La Raza’s goals are to bring California, Texas and other southwestern states into Mexico. ‘re-conquista of land’ BOUGHT from Mexico after the war. They have explicitly said they intend to remove or kill all people not of “The Race” in this area. Here is the extent to which they have achieved infiltration of these areas.
Note the fact that the La Raza Lawyers Association links to the National Council of La Raza on their websites “community” section and it has very few such links. These are the lawyers down in Mexico helping the invaders.
Reconquesta
Check out the schools and read about what they’re taught in their “chicano studies” — to invade and weaken US to “take back their Mexico” La Raza/MEChA receives federal funding including 30 million in CA alone to TEACH this crap to Hispanics.
…Conference on March 15 – 18, 2001, the official “MEChA Philosophy” was ratified. An excerpt from the document states: “as Mechistas, we vow to work for the liberation of Aztlan.”
The MEChA Clubs on each of the Santa Barbara high school campuses are not the only ones. MEChA groups exist on 90 percent of the public high school, college and university campuses in the Southwestern United States...
MEChA has three guiding documents: El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan, El Plan de Santa Barbara, and the Philosophy of MEChA. These documents outline our principles and ideology, and help all MEChistAs work toward the common goal of uniting all Raza.
El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan
In 1969, the National Chicano Youth Conference’s agenda was to begin the formation of an identity and an ideology for the Chicano Movement, the result of which was El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan. The plan concluded that what would truly solidify the Movement was the ideology of Chicano Nationalism. El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan states: “Nationalism, as the key to organization, transcends all religious, political, class, and economic faction boundaries. Nationalism is the common denominator that all members of La Raza can agree upon.” In a word El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan, created and gave direction to the Chicano Movement. It is this document that we as MEChistAs look back upon as a reminder of why we continue to fight for social justice….
El Plan de Santa Barbara
As a result of the Chicano Coordinating Council on Higher Education held at UC, Santa Barbara, the goal of El Plan de Santa Barbara was to develop a master plan for the creation of a curriculum and the related structures and services that would facilitate Chicano/a access to institutions of higher learning. This was significant, because it was the first opportunity for Chicano/as to implement the ideas of El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan. El Plan de Santa Barbara set the framework for the establishment of Chicano Studies programs and the creation of MEChA, the student arm of el Movimiento Chicano/a that would keep la causa moving forward on school campuses….
“…Chicano is our identity; it defines who we are as people. It rejects the notion that we…should assimilate into the Anglo-American melting pot…Aztlan was the legendary homeland of the Aztecas … It became synonymous with the vast territories of the Southwest, brutally stolen from a Mexican people marginalized and betrayed by the hostile custodians of the Manifest Destiny.”
(Statement on University of Oregon MEChA Website, Jan. 3, 2006)
We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan. For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.”
“That closing two-sentence motto is chilling to everyone who values equal rights for all. It says: “For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing.”
I have 21 pages of old notes, but I think that sampling gets the point across. Now on to the present day and the various X accounts brought to the Q Tree.
Taxpayer-Funded Nonprofit Behind the Anti-ICE Riots in Los Angeles. Over the past two days, ICE agents have conducted targeted operations across the Los Angeles region, detaining more than 40 suspected illegal aliens.
These enforcement actions triggered large-scale demonstrations, some of which turned confrontational, with reports of vandalism, blocked traffic, and physical clashes with federal agents.
The unrest has prompted questions about who is organizing and funding these protests.
One of the organizations at the center of the resistance to ICE is the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a Los Angeles nonprofit that has long provided legal and advocacy services to illegal aliens.
CHIRLA is known for radical positions on immigration—for example, it led a campaign to abolish ICE in 2018. Yesterday afternoon, as clashes with federal law enforcement were heating up, CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas held a press conference during which she announced that the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network’s hotline had received more than 50 calls reporting ICE activity and sightings of “men in military garb.”
LARRN is organized by a coalition of nonprofits, and CHIRLA plays a central role, using its main phone line as the hotline number. LARRN’s hotline is one of the communication systems that allows legal observers, volunteers, and other activists to be quickly dispatched to the scene of immigration enforcement actions.
During her remarks, Salas referred to SEIU California President David Huerta as her “brother,” highlighting CHIRLA’s close ties to organized labor in California.
Huerta had been arrested during one of the protests for blocking the path of an ICE vehicle, as shown by video footage released by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.
Governor Gavin Newsom expressed his unequivocal support for Huerta, claiming he was only “witnessing” the action, while Essayli announced his intention to file criminal charges.
For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has defiantly opposed federal immigration enforcement in the city, stating on social media Friday, “We will not stand for this” and “No vamos a permitir estas acciones,” (“We are not going to permit these actions”).
She added that her office would collaborate with community-based organizations that serve immigrants. She has a long relationship with CHIRLA and bragged last year about obtaining federal funding for CHIRLA’s programs.
That grant is part of a broader stream of public dollars that the organization receives from government sources. In fact, according to a financial audit submitted to the state, the CHIRLA organization received nearly $34 million in revenue from government contracts during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with 96% of that funding from the State of California.
That figure marks a sharp increase from the prior year, when it received around $12 million in government contract revenue. Agencies contributing to CHIRLA’s funding during this period included the California Department of Social Services, the California Arts Council, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, and the Department of Homeland Security.
Notably, as mentioned above, a DHS contract funded CHIRLA to provide citizenship instruction and naturalization services.
With $100,000 remaining on CHIRLA’s contract, DHS froze the remaining funds in February.
CHIRLA responded by suing. The court denied their motion for a preliminary injunction on May 29.
This is one of two lawsuits CHIRLA filed against DHS this year. The other was dismissed for lack of standing and is on appeal. To sum up how this works:
Your tax dollars fund an organization that organizes efforts to directly interfere with the federal government’s lawful exercise of authority. Then, through its lobbying arm, that organization helps get Democrats elected to office, who then repay the favor by ensuring increased funding. This is the nonprofit industrial complex at work.
kalbokalbs brought this. And this is where things get interesting. Remember from my above notes, the previous Mexican President was encouraging Mexicans to invade the USA.
Mexico’s president-elect just said: “If necessary, we’ll mobilize. We don’t want taxes on remittances from our fellow countrymen. From the U.S. to Mexico.”
A head of state openly calling for protests in the U.S. This is unprecedented. pic.twitter.com/JqFETt5NKr
For decades, Mexico’s foreign policy has been guided by the principle of non-intervention — respect for other nations’ internal affairs. Now, Sheinbaum threatens to organize mobilizations inside the U.S. She’s breaking one of Mexico’s most fundamental diplomatic doctrines
Arne, I’m not defending or in agreement with @Claudiashein , but the mobilization and protest are due and against “immigration raids within USofA” and not a mobilization against US tariffs. Claudia is not calling or instigating Mexicans in United States to a riot against tariffs. Do not distort the news. MENTIROSO !
All that really matters is she is directing HER CITIZENS in the USA to defy OUR PRESIDENT on top of the previous president instructing Mexicans to invade our country. Stealth invasion with the goal of taking US territory anyone?
MAGADAD SAYS THE IMPORTANT PART OUT LOUD. It was fairly far down in the replies.
MAGA_DAD @Das_rooster Replying to @arnemx
That should fulfill the part of the Alien Enemies Act that requires a foreign government’s direction.
Mexico’s deliberate facilitation of illegal mass migration into the United States, if proven to be state-sponsored with intent to erode U.S. sovereignty, blatantly violates the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848), particularly Article XI’s implied commitment to mutual border integrity. By enabling unauthorized crossings, Mexico undermines the hard-won territorial settlement that saw the U.S. secure approximately 950,000 square miles—nearly half of Mexico’s pre-war territory—while returning 250,000–300,000 square miles of occupied land. This provocative act disrespects the treaty’s border delineation, threatening the sovereignty of the U.S., which expanded to 3.2 million square miles after the war, and mocks the sacrifices made to establish clear boundaries.
In Mexico, many already call her the “vice president” — not because the role exists, but because she takes orders from her predecessor. And let’s not forget: that predecessor is widely seen as a servant of the cartels, not the people.
Here is the heart of it. Trump must put a 100% tax on all remittances leave the US for Central America. This will cut-off the reason most illegal aliens are here and they will go back.
Exactly — this is the core issue. A remittance tax isn’t just revenue. It’s transparency. The @IRSenEspanol could finally see who’s sending money, and why — legal, illegal, or criminal.
The Local Multiplier Effect (LME) is a very valuable, hidden feature of our economies. The term refers to how many times dollars are recirculated within a local economy before leaving through the purchase of an import. Famed economist John Maynard Keynes first coined the term “Local Multiplier Effect” in his 1936 book The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.
A Hypothetical Example
Imagine a hypothetical influx of money, say one million dollars, entering a local economy. Now imagine these dollars are spent on local goods and services. Imagine that each of the local vendors who earned those dollars then re-spends that money on more local goods and services. Envision this cycle happening several times before this money is finally spent on imports – goods or services from outside the region.
In this case, those one million dollars recirculating eight times would act much like eight million dollars by increasing revenue and income opportunities for local producers.
Now another scenario: picture that same amount of money being spent immediately at stores (or online) with businesses headquartered in other regions on imported goods. These transactions would add very little or no value to the local economy; one million dollars would act just like one million dollars instead of several million dollars.
History and Impact
Over the past 50 years, the expansion of national businesses into local domestic markets has diverted this vital monetary stream and redirected it to centralized corporate coffers….

From Data republican (small r) a thread bring the financial data. All of the following is a quote from her. https://xcancel.com/DataRepublican/status/1931508083127362024
WHO’S BEHIND THE ANTI-ICE RIOTS IN LOS ANGELES?
Hundreds took to the streets this weekend: blocking roads, attacking federal officers, even burning flags. But this wasn’t “spontaneous outrage.” This was organized. Funded. Coordinated. Here’s a breakdown of the groups, the money, and the people pulling the strings.
Patience as I assemble the thread and verify information in real time
A number of NGOs have been implicated in this. Foremost is Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights or CHIRLA, and the photos of signs show they were printed by PSLWEB / Party for Socialism and Liberation.
CHIRLA has the EIN of 954421521. Most of its private funding appears to be from DAFs, which are the hardest to trace. However 34 million of its reported 45 million in revenue are from government grants.
In their most recent year, CHIRLA jumped from 12 million to 34 million in government grants. Nice!However, this is probably from CA – “only” 450K in federal grants.
These are their two federal grants, both completed. Now moving onto PSLWeb…
The group which printed the signs for protests, Party for Socialism and Liberation, is not a nonprofit – they are a literal Communist party.
Finding financials is tricky, but I did find a Wiki reference to “ANSWER Coalition”
ANSWER Coalition is mentioned on their Wikipedia page to have significant financial overlap.
It is tough to find backings on either group, as they do not have a nonprofit associated with them. Both claim to be funded entirely by members. ()
However, I did find a NY Post article claiming that both are funded by billionaire socialist Neville Singer. [Correction Neville Singham -GC]
Singham also financed the People’s Forum – giving it over 20 million dollars. All 3 Singham-financed organizations were also heavily involved in the Columbia protests.
The SEIU-CA president got arrested. I researched SEIU’s financials, but they are mostly dues-backed.
Moving onto other organizations: it appears as though the Million Voters Project was involved in promoting the project.
Here’s the magical D-word… Democracy … on the MVP website.
Million Voters Project gets their funding from a variety of grants, no taxpayer funding.
That’s the end of the deep search. Overall, my guess is if we had to finger a culprit behind all this – it’s Neville Singham. He will be fertile ground in my feed in the coming days.
I’m going to wrap up the thread here. Thanks for following.
Just who is Neville Singham?
One last word: I normally don’t pass on “gossip”, but a credible source leaked to me that Qatar is heavily involved.
However, I haven’t made that particular connection yet.
End of Data republic’s thread.

President Trump must invoke the Insurrection Act.
Americans confront millions of illegals who pose an existential threat to the American Republic.
Given the size and scope of what is coming POTUS MUST ACT NOW to bring back ALL US GROUND FORCES FROM overseas and employ them at home to restore the rule of law and execute mass deportations.
He must also mobilize the Army National Guard and federalize [NOPE do not want to set precedence– GC] all of our law enforcement.
This is the War Americans must fight and win if our country is to survive.
My schedule has been hectic, so an on-topic breather is in order. I am going with a subject that relates to the subject period in history as well as today. Since it is in the news at times, let’s discuss the filibuster. What the heck is it and why should we care?
This definition per clown provided Wiki is as good as any…
A filibuster is a political procedure in which one or more members of a legislative body prolong debate on proposed legislation so as to delay or entirely prevent a decision. It is sometimes referred to as “talking a bill to death” or “talking out a bill”, and is characterized as a form of obstruction in a legislature or other decision-making body.
However, its noted origin as a procedure (not the name) appears to trace back to ancient Rome in 60 and 59 BC when Cato the Younger conducted it in opposition to Caesar’s desires in the ancient Roman Empire. The Roman Senate had a rule that all daily work had to be completed by nightfall. Cato was noted for his long winded speeches, so in two instances he got up and spoke until nightfall to foil Caesar’s plans. It worked the first time, but Caesar had a work around ready the second time as he took the measure he wanted passed to the Tribal Assembly and got it done.
There are numerous countries in which this procedure has been done in their legislative assemblies. As an example, the first time it appears to have been done in Great Britain was in Parliament in 1874. It first entered into U. S. Club Senate rules in 1806, but not used until 1837.
The filibuster was not used frequently until the 1970’s. In more recent times it has become more of a threatened use, especially since the 2010’s. It has also become watered down as a procedure to the point it is mostly only used to counter new legislation today, which is bad enough when the legislation that could pass would help We the People instead of the Uniparty and globalists.
However, the big thing is that it is not a product of the Constitution.It is in the Club Senate’s “rulebook”.
So, why does it continue to exist? Better yet, why do we need an obstruction to the usual “majority rules” method of determining the fate of legislation? We need to understand the history to know the answers to those questions, well, at least more official answers. TradeBait’s response that follows is probably a bit less tactful.
To cut to the chase It is just another contrived rule that We the People had no voice in determiningits existence and use. As posted in previous Dailies they do the same garbage in the judiciary. They build in rules of engagement, practices, procedural hoops, and standing that are not enumerated or codified into law by the legislature. They are inserted at the discretion of the involved parties and frequently used as weapons to achieve goals in conflict with the intent of the Constitution, laws, and will of We the People. They grant permissions to positions and bodies to do so that have never been legally authorized by our system of government. They then hide behind the rules they create.
The Senate politicians sell filibuster presence as a tool to prevent unthrottled and dangerous control by legislators of the “political process” that could abuse citizen voters. They use fear porn induced warnings in serious tones of voice to make their points. Sometimes, I am convinced the real boogeyman or Sasquatch will run out from behind them to threaten us all.
One thing is true, the threat of the use of this tool has kept even a unified House, Senate and POTUS from achieving their fake media described scary agendas despite having received control from the popular vote. How convenient that the GOP or Dems cannot seem to get that important piece of legislation across the finish line that benefits We the People more than the politicians and globalists. With it available the Uniparty continues its reign.
Instead, we get Obamacare and such, right McShame? Oh yeah, you are no longer here to undercut the will of We the People. But just as a reminder, if Harry Reid followed by Turtle did not permit its nuking in regard to confirmations; PDT would have never received approval for any judges, SCOTUS justices, or cabinet selections. Who knew in advance we would thank two Uniparty henchmen for their efforts to release us from that bondage one day? Of course, doing so was met with wailing and gnashing of teeth by media and the Uniparty faithful. Much fear porn was broadcast and now we know why. SCOTUS leaned back toward the right over time and some honest judges were added to the federal court rosters.
In Club Senate the filibuster is still a game maneuver the majority can also use to not move forward with popular legislation that they would ordinarily have the votes to pass, especially with the Uniparty in control. Instead they can hide behind the perceived threat of a filibuster. Rarely do filibusters actually happen, the vast majority of the time their use is just threatened or “understood” to be possible. All of it is theater to keep the public fooled and sidetracked, just like the non-election elections.
There is no point in addressing cloture to end debate. The majority still needs 60 votes to invoke it to end the show. In the political environment of today, rarely would there be any Dems willing to join with the GOP to do so. That makes it easy for GOP Senators to grandstand and gaslight the public on their “conservative” values and standing “with” POTUS Trump against the big, bad Dems.
Conditions Today
Let’s take a look at what MTG thinks of the Club Senate and the filibuster.
If you are an optimist you will respond to this situation with a desire to get rid of it so you can get done what needs to be done. If you are a pessimist you want to keep the filibuster as a tool to keep the leftists from ruining the country should they return to power. However, that may turn out to be a less than accurate analysis if indeed, POTUS Trump and patriots are cleaning the election system and taking back control of the federal government swamp.
Do you really believe the Democrat Party has over 70 million real life voters? If you do, you will be more likely to want to retain the filibuster. If you don’t, you will be more likely to want it terminated providing the election system is cleaned up and fair for all voters.
Next, do you believe in DOGE and their efforts or not? I did not say Elon, I said DOGE. Their efforts are helping to clean the system along with ICE and Homeland Security. Add in the Civil Rights division of the DOJ which is now playing hardball as you saw in Part 2. Evidence is being introduced into the courts on hacking election systems, fraudulent ballot harvesting, and fraudulent voter registration activities. Lies are being exposed that claimed no internet connectivity, when in fact the voting machines were connected. More legal actions are underway on clamping down on ID requirements as well as illegals having access to voter registrations.
I don’t believe the Dems have the votes even if it not totally cleaned yet. My gut says they have less than 50 million. They have no message, no inspiring leaders, no bench to sway the majority of the eligible voters. The longer that America First MAGA can dominate the more the judiciary will become Constitutionalist in nature. That realization is contingent on the current administration and leadership knowing that the Democrat Party does not now have or will have anywhere near the votes they manufactured in 2020 with the election steal.
PDT suggested doing away with the filibuster at least a dozen times in his first term. Contrast that viewpoint with that of a Uniparty Senator. From a 9/26/24 USA Today article on the subject comes this quote, “The day Republicans vote to nuke the filibuster is the day I walk out the door,” said Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who noted that the party repeatedly resisted Trump’s calls to end the filibuster for legislation while he was president.
Sounds like a really good reason for it to be nuked to me, Thommy Turd.
That leads this author to suggest that it is time to kill the filibuster dead as a doornail. Just the threat of its use stops good legislation that We the People support. With its termination the remaining RINO’s will have to openly state their positions for or against a measure – no more hiding. We the People can then primary them out and replace with America First.
If we truly want to end the RINO species, we have to eliminate their habitat. Thommy Turd told everybody where he hides. Remove the ability to hide and openly expose them. Playing defense all the time plays into the Uniparty’s hands. If we go on offense on this, they will either fight to survive or run away scared. We the People then know where they stand and what to do.
However, none of that is the primary reason to terminate the use of the filibuster. The primary reason to get rid of it is the same as with the other contrived rules, procedures and practices in every area of government. There is no provision for it in the Constitution. Assuming honest elections, the threat and the use of it circumvents the will of We the People.
Remember what Alexander Hamilton, John Adams and a handful of other revered founding fathers wanted to do to circumvent the will of We the People when the Constitution was constructed? They were fearful of We the People and the popular vote as it had been a major problem to the new nation due to States’ Rights and its inability to pay military pensions. Thanks to Thomas Jefferson and a large majority of founders they did not get what they wanted. The popular vote was supported in the end result. However, that did not stop those at our nation’s founding that did not like that result. Instead, less than 20 years later, the pro-filibuster crowd in Club Senate began making rules that worked around the issue just a Caesar’s opponents did with the ancient Roman Senate.
The specific problems from our founders’ days no longer exist. In my opinion, it is time for We the People to go boldly into the Golden Age and terminate the filibuster.
Or we can continue looking around for the boogeyman and Sasquatch.

Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!
Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
No food fights.
No running with scissors.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

Before we return to the remaining signers of our Declaration of Independence we need to move the ball down the field more on the present subject that originated with Scott’s and Wolf’s posts of May 3.
Put simply, why has the statutory nature of the Constitution and law been abused so radically by those who give their oaths to defend it? The creation of shadow governments and legal systems that sustain them appears to be the vehicles used to do the dirty deeds. The instigators apparently want undeserved, unearned, and unauthorized power over the assets and people of our nation.
The use of rules, procedures and practices that they develop, sell to the public at large as necessary for the safety and/or prosperity of citizens, and then implement with colluding enforcement arms is what keeps them in power and control. With the current version of swamp critters, they added illegal invaders and provided access to the rights of citizens to insure their continued dominance of our nation. This corrupted the election system even worse to go with everything else in society, which was the primary purpose of COVID and the jabs in addition to depopulation efforts. The propagandists lied their ways into the heads of sheeple to move the needle toward accepting the unacceptable that has been tanking our society.
We can continue to discuss how it all is rectified, however, it will not change a basic, historical truth. What has happened in the past 250 years in America is not new to the world stage. It has happened in other civilizations who turned their faces from God and/or righteous living since the beginning of time. Some of those civilizations never recovered and disappeared from the planet. Others were reduced to a remnant. Some of those remnants never regained their prominence, while others went on to become even more prominent and dominate segments of the world. For this latter group, the common factor contributing to success seems to be a return to more equitable treatment of their populations. It usually took the common people coming together to force the replacement of their former leaders or when God otherwise directly intervened through events of nature. Remember, even the insurance industry calls them “acts of God” in their contract provisions.
Just like Biblical accounts of the ancient nation of Israel, this concept of the righteous remnant surviving and rebuilding is also built into the fabric of America. It is expected of us to do so and has been stated within our founding documents. How else can you explain our recovery and development into a great, superpower nation after the horrible Civil War that erupted some 70 years after the ratification of the Constitution, which was followed by WW I, the Great Depression and WW II? How else could it possibly be explained when the America First MAGA movement led by a bullet dodging brilliant patriot changes the world for the betterment of all mankind?
Judicial Discretion
Nothing makes my point better about judicial rules, procedures and practices than the following recent post from Covid & Covid with Jeff Childers. It truly is an interesting read anytime, but especially so with the current subject matter and ongoing events within our government. The article to read is the first on Blind Justice.
Did you spot all of the judicial discretion that was employed? Jeff Childers is an experienced, accomplished attorney who has taken on an unenviable task of challenging the PREP Act successfully. The weight of the federal government as well as Big Pharm is aligned against all challenges. Even with that situation, the judge chose not to shut this one down. In fact, he handed Jeff the ticket to use to attend the show. To say Jeff was pleasantly surprised is an understatement.
What is most interesting to me is the approach Judge Young used in questioning counsel of both sides from the outset is one that could be used by all judges, but rarely is. Why? Unless you are into performance art and deception as a judge; it would seem that if you truly desire to make an honest, legally correct ruling you would use all avenues of inquiry to reach a solid decision. Which tells me that in all of the previously unsuccessful challenges, there probably was no judge who was serious in their consideration of the merits of the PREP challenges. They went along with what the government wanted to not rock the boat. Anybody who has ever sat in pre-trial conferences knows exactly to what I am referring. The rules of the game (trial) are set by the judge after input from the opposing attorneys representing sides in the case.
Now, I could be a conspiracist and tell you that frequently those rules have already been worked out (as well as the decision) in advance over a meal or drinks at a bar together beforehand, but that would just be speculation, right? That never actually happens, does it? Justice is always blind like it was in all of those Perry Mason TV shows, right? The attorneys from both sides give their best efforts and whoever wins, wins. The decision always represents what the law states.
Granted that latter statement does happen in some higher profile cases that attract widespread attention from the general public and media. Sometimes rules, procedures and practices are insufficient to blunt the will of the We the People and law. But what about those cases of We the People that are ongoing in lesser courts all across America every day that are similar to what Geddes described? For that matter, what about J6 cases that were high profile? Whatever little credibility the feds and DC legal system had prior to that event has been totally washed away by their violations of the law through obvious corruption and oppression.
The aftermath of J6 is the very definition of politicization of the judiciary and legal system followed by weaponization. Add in the usual skullduggery with rules, procedures and practices with the courts that Jeff Childers discusses and you can see how hard it is to break through when the shadow government and judiciary are aligned against We the People.
We need to keep a watch on this one from Jeff. Removing Big Pharm’s liability protections is a game changer.
Good Stuff Happens At The Right Time In America
The recently released interview below discloses more than the average person knows about how things really work in and around the current federal government. If you have not done so, watch it and think about the insiders in DC and our federal government going back centuries. Then consider the magnitude of POTUS Trump’s undertaking. Skip it ahead to the actual interview a few minutes in if you want to conserve time.
In particular there is very interesting commentary starting around the 51 minute mark. Some of the pertinent discussion topics will ring bells relating to the Information War. They discuss many current topics we hit hard on here such as…
Wiki is a weapon and the IC is involved. Weaponization of the government against the citizens has been underway. It is not about the information you have they let you see, it’s about what you have to find (Ed Martin’s paraphrased words that means they intentionally withhold or hide it). Certifications of elections systems – fraud and money rule. Election in Poland soon – Obama is there. Why? The fed system used to be politicized and now it is weaponized. It started big with Obama and accelerated with Biden. Jack Smith under the microscope. All the big cases recently including cases related to Trump, IRS against citizens, school boards, IC, Crossfire Hurricane – all Bondi ordered investigations. Elections – aspects of things did not make sense in their construct.
Ed Martin stated, “I don’t think there is a way for the people to petition…”as it applies to forcing release of information regarding any of the on-going “investigations” or even past classified events that have been declassed like the JFK assassination from 62 years ago. No way to petition for judicial relief even when POTUS Trump declassified all of the documents? No standing as American citizens whose lives have been hugely negatively impacted by the events? Is that like having no standing to file a lawsuit against proven election fraud? Really?
Which leads to where are the releases of the rest of the Kennedy, MLK, and Epstein docs? How about the J6 tapes and some honesty on 911? For goodness sakes, how about a real accounting of what happened in Butler less than a year ago that was witnessed on live TV? Nope, even PDT’s handpicked top cops from FIB will not go there.
Besides the usual criminal corruption, these events and people are all hidden behind rules, procedures and practices. Ed Martin would not even go there in response to many of Tucker’s questions. He knows the issues, yet skirted around answers with his responses. Why? An answer of “dunno” does not work for us. We know better. An answer of it being classified does not work for us either. We saw many of the events in real time as they occurred. Years have gone by and nothing is disclosed officially. We know what that means.
Just the content in this one interview reveals a depth of criminality and corruption that is mind blowing. It is also clear that Ed Martin believes people were more honorable in their personal conduct 100 years ago as he stated. If true, it indicates the primary problem today is the breakdown of morality, ethics and personal integrity within our society as it has become more politicized and now, weaponized. Personally, I don’t think his belief is true. I believe people have been equally corrupt and criminal in their activities throughout human history. The farther back you go the more the official history is cleaned by the corrupt. My brief FIRE! series highlighted some of that going back into the 1800’s.
We do not have to look far to see even more current abuse through rules, procedures and practices; this time in civil rights. Tucker’s interview of Harmeet Dhillon is a major eye opener of their use in destroying the quality of life in many cities, racism in colleges, religious persecution, elections steals and so on.
I confess the leftist pity parties as they exited that department would have been great fun to observe.
But it does not stop there, stories come out multiple times per week to substantiate what is now obvious. If you have not followed, read this short article.
If you have never been employed in the legal industry or interacting branches of government you probably never knew that the ABA was used by our elected federal officials for ratings of judicial nominees. It has been used for decades despite the org being a private, non-government controlled organization of over 400,000 legal worker members. So, the federal government authorized and utilized rules, procedures and practices associated with this proven partisan org that led to the confirmation support from azzhat elected officials/staffs for the corrupt, wacko federal judges we have seen circumventing the will of We the People this entire time. How convenient.
Oh yeah, did you notice that the ABA was formed in the late 1800’s? Folks – the ABA and many other divisive, anti-patriot orgs are nothing more than NGO’s that have been funded and weaponized by subversive globalists and wannabe dictators from times long ago. Many trace their lineages back post Civil War, some before. As an example you will find names of major industrialists with deep pockets such as Rockefeller who seeded them into American society. The AMA is another one as Gail has posted. This is the same org that walked lock step with Fauxi’s NIH and the CDC. Next, think about all of the NGO’s that trace back their funding back to subversive globalists that brought us the alien invasion.
Don’t get me started (yet) on the World Council of Churches or even the National Council of Churches. That will be a segment I address down the road as well, God willing.
If you have not I highly advise deeper dives into Gail’s research. I also advise you to focus on the results of the globalist cabal’s seed planting as WW I and WW II ended. What orgs and acts were undertaken during and immediately following? Where did the funding of same come from as well as what elected officials and globalists were in their corner? We are in the middle of the exposure and destruction of some that occurred at the end of WW II over 75 years ago; whose seeds were actually planted leading up to WW I.
All of the corruption, manipulation and circumvention links together, just find the connecting dots. There are not multiple movies. There are many scenes that tie together in a blockbuster movie that has gone on in America since the Declaration of Independence was signed.
The situation is and remains as described below in the immortal words of 81 year old Benjamin Franklin:
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
We will return to this in future parts detailing the signers of our founding documents.
Steve/Wolf’s Solution Confirmed
The evidence has been presented. The verdict will be decided by a jury of We the People and not some idgit leftist judge placed in a position of fake authority by corrupted politicians and swamp. We the People who are America First still desire the republic that our founding fathers provided.
We are not going to solve the lack of ethics and deterioration of morals of our nation and world on here, much less within our intentionally polarized American society. However, the practical answer to it all has actually been by initiated by PDT subject to being fully supported by We the People and not stalled by the globalists and swamp. That gives hope. Reducing and defanging government means there are less azzhats in positions of authority to screw things up and mess with We the People. That has to be the current and most focused approach to solving the weaponization that was actually seeded through politicization first beginning with the strong central government backers’ efforts to create and pass the Constitution while building on the British legal system that the colonies employed here in America.
We will never know, but would we have been better off with the previous Articles of Confederation and any amendments as needed for enumerated powers, handling Treasury needs and military preparedness?
As discussed in previous Parts, we see how it happened in ancient Israel through the time of Christ just as it has in other civilizations in world history. Keeping things simple is just not normal behavior for many humans. The problem the power hungry as well as We the People have in America is that our nation has been dedicated to God and His providence from its founding. As a people we can stray from that and attempt to take things over on our own. However, until the Lord returns it will always be met by His discipline until a God fearing patriot remnant persevere through the fires and rebuild in accordance with His will. Again.
The better, most fulfilling American Way is to do things His way from the onset. Which means the manipulation, corruption and deception built into the rules, procedures and practices need to be practically and firmly eliminated.
I repeat for emphasis this statement from a great American we all dearly love on here,
So we wreck them by seriously cutting government and giving them fewer places to exist. Among all of the other benefits, the body politic would have fewer sociopaths and parasites in it.

But just as a reminder, if Harry Reid followed by Turtle did not permit its nuking in regard to confirmations; PDT would have never received approval for any judges, SCOTUS justices, or cabinet selections. Who knew in advance we would thank two Uniparty henchmen for their efforts to release us from that bondage one day? Of course, doing so was met with wailing and gnashing of teeth by media and the Uniparty faithful. Much fear porn was broadcast and now we know why. SCOTUS leaned back toward the right over time and some honest judges were added to the federal court rosters.
