DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20220929

It’s been a day on Wednesday.

On a national level:

There was more here at home, but it doesn’t make waves outside of STL.

Okay, what’s in the tabs:

Donald Trump and the Future of Western Civilization

The West, in particular the United States, is currently populated with patronizing, oblivious, and callous leaders more concerned about themselves and globalism than the people and the future of their respective countries.  Nor do they acknowledge that Western Civilization, because of its roots in Christianity, has increased freedom, wealth, health, comfort and life expectancy to unprecedented levels throughout the world.

When virtually all Western nations pursue the same ruinous policies, and their ruling classes have the same self-absorbed characteristics, decline and collapse from self-immolation is inevitable. 

In the debauched current state of Western Civilization, the sole path of reversing this decline and collapse is for a tenacious and intrepid egalitarian leader from one of the major Western nations to assume the mantle of leadership.  The only experienced and successful current or past leader with these attributes in the West today is Donald Trump, who temporarily stanched and exposed the factors behind the downfall during his four years as president.  With the specter of China/Russia hegemony and the accelerating deterioration of the West looming over the United States and Europe, Trump must seriously consider running for president again in 2024.

Is the Transgender Fad a Triumph of Marketing?

Yes.

Will Libertarian Candidates Again Deny GOP the U.S. Senate?

The more powerful the Libertarian Party becomes, the more certain it is that they will turn America over to Democrats—rendering the majority sentiments of Americans politically irrelevant.

Long story short: don’t vote third party even if the two main ones are the same in essentials.

ANALYSIS: Nord Stream Pipelines Sabotaged, and Only One Country Benefits

Means eliminates most suspects. Only a government with an advanced naval warfare capability could have executed the sabotage. That limits the suspects to Germany, Great Britain, France, the United States, Russia, and China.

But means also involves proximity. Chinese or French naval activities in the area would have raised flags. Geography would seem to preclude the United States except for the fact the US Navy operates in every ocean in the world with advanced war fighting capabilities. So the list of suspects with the means to destroy Nord Stream is down to the UK, US, Russia, and Germany.

REVELATION 12:7-12

7Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world — he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. 11And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. 12Rejoice then, O heaven and you that dwell therein! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”

From The Ebbitt Room at the Virginia Hotel in Cape May, NJ

Remember yesterday when we featured Matt Walsh and the sunlight he was bringing to child mutilation via big time medicine? Well….

It looks like there’s a lot of objections to the entire practice, and the people are speaking out.

The 22nd was a family event day, so this is going to be a bit light. But, still….

Talking Points Will Not Fix the Border Crisis

In repeated interviews, speeches, and testimonies before Congress, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has insisted that our border with Mexico is closed and secure. He makes these statements even as one of his own agencies, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), released data showing more than 2 million illegal border crossings in the current fiscal year—a record. Such blatant disregard for the facts and the failure to execute the requirements of his position are the driving forces behind the growing support in Congress to impeach Mayorkas in the coming year.

Like Mayorkas, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also insists that the border is secure. When asked by reporters to address the border crisis, she dogmatically reads verbatim talking points from a binder and rarely answers the question asked. On how the border is secure, Jean-Pierre responds that the administration has “secured record levels of funding” for the leviathan DHS.   

On the topic of a border wall, Jean-Pierre and other White House apparatchiks are quick to respond that the administration has instead made investments in technology at the border. While there is certainly a role for many forms of technology assets at the border, immigration enforcement professionals have consistently asked for a significant, permanent barrier system at key points along the 1,954-mile southern border.

Americans First

Don’t listen when the Left cries they need more money to help out those struggling Americans back home.

The Coming Austerity Crisis

The U.S. government’s debt is 150 percent of the gross domestic product. The current inflation is just the first problem caused by the debt. If deficit spending continues, soon high interest rates and the decline of U.S. debt credit will follow. Instead of incrementally fixing the problem, austerity economics will be the outcome. The Greeks went through it in 2007 and 2008, and they will be the first to tell you it was no fun. Congress, and especially during sessions with Democratic majorities, bears much of the blame for this.

The Paradox of Populist Foreign Policy in Asia

Modi and Abe are examples of a kind of politics supporters of the “America First” movement will recognize: one that advocates strengthening the nation’s reputation abroad by aggressively asserting its interests and refusing to countenance those who insist it should feel guilt over past, or even ongoing, actions. More recently, South Korea’s Yoon rode a wave of youth discontent, promising to assert Korea’s growing influence, praising right-wing strongmen of the past, and tackling the influence of both China and feminism. All three leaders—Abe, Modi, and Yoon—count among their domestic critics groups America Firsters will recognize: progressive politicians, liberal media institutions, and feminists. 

While supporters of former president Trump may sense camaraderie with these three leaders, and share similar views of China’s rise, they must also be ready for a potential outcome that may not be to their liking. Good working relations between a future America First president and likeminded leadership in Tokyo, Delhi, and Seoul may lead to further American commitments in world affairs, including militarily and financially. An important consideration, especially as the definition of America First will be contested between now and the 2024 Republican nomination.

How to Break the Two-Party System

George Washington was not a party man.

In his Farewell Address, he warned that the political parties are “truly the worst enemy” of popular government. They are a “frightful despotism” built on the “ruins of popular liberty.” They are animated by a “spirit of revenge.” They are “baneful.” Worst of all, the party system “opens the door to foreign influence and corruption.”

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-11

1For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 3a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. 9What gain has the worker from his toil? 10I have seen the business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with. 11He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man’s mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

Disney Chooses Bald Actress To Play Rapunzel In Live-Action Remake

U.S. — Disney has chosen a bald actress to play Rapunzel in the upcoming live-action remake of Tangled. Director Guy Ritchie announced the casting at a press conference alongside Disney CEO Bob Chapek.

“We are thrilled to have this mega-talented bald actress joining us to star in this film,” said Ritchie. “She has long been an outspoken advocate for the alopecia community and we know she’ll lend her unique lived experience as a person of baldness to the iconic role of Rapunzel.”

Several fans were upset with the casting, pointing out that the actress is bald, while Rapunzel has hair. “I’m all for diversity,” said Disney fan Janet Cutler. “My pronouns are Xe / Xer. But this is a bit too far. Rapunzel is supposed to have hair. It’s sort of core to the entire story.”

Another Disney fan echoed the sentiment. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair,” said Disney fan Andrew Steeplechase. “That’s one of the key quotes in the story. I’m not sure that works as well with a bald Rapunzel.”

Have a great weekend.

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20220922

Yes, it’s Thursday again. What’s brewing out there on the internet other than President Trump being prosecuted for crimes that probably don’t exist? Well, Matt Walsh did some actual journalism, it got a lot of attention, and now the state of Tennessee has Vanderbilt’s medical system in the crosshairs.

First, the segment of the podcast that stirred the pot.

Of course, pushback and abuse started.

And then darkness descended.

At the same time, the Governor of Tennessee spoke out.

And action ensued:

This is what happens when journalism works like it is supposed to.

Good job, Mr. Walsh.

Hence why hospitals need to return to being true charities instead of charities in name only, if not straight up profit centers.

The Walk of Faith in These Uncertain Times

The desert experience is actually a blessing. We don’t want to stay in that place, that’s why the longing is there, the hope… but just because that desire is there, it does not mean we cannot find some level of rest in the tension. God is with you in every step of your journey so fully. He is attentive to you specifically. He keeps close tabs on the flowers and birds. How much more so will He not lovingly watch over you and guide you.

But how could you go back to being asleep or not believing for justice now that you’ve woken up? You are stuck in a rock and a hard place. You are living outside of the Matrix on some level, you are having to live as a wanderer rather than feel at home in the facade that is Babylon. You are Neo living in the barren wasteland of the ship, eating food that does not taste delicious but it is real and you are officially in the fight.

Legendary ‘Cheers’ Actor Says ‘Last People’ He Would Trust With His Health Is ‘Big Pharma and Big Government’

Legendary “Cheers” actor Woody Harrelson told Bill Maher the “last people” he would trust with his own health is “Big Pharma and Big Government” — and he explained why.

During the 61-year-old actor’s appearance on the “Club Random with Bill Maher” podcast Sunday, the TV actor and host discussed the response to the COVID-19 pandemic over the last two-plus years. The two agreed that trusting the pharmaceutical companies and government rather than a person’s own doctor is bizarre.  The host asked his guest would it be that crazy that the pharma industry wouldn’t say advocate for “more boosters than were necessary” for profit?

Gays Against Groomers Permanently Deplatformed From PayPal and Venmo

The Babylon Bee has big plans for Twitter

The Babylon Bee is one of America’s best news outlets. Sure, technically it’s satire, but it has an unerring knack for going straight to the heart of an issue and teasing out what’s important. In my book, that makes it a lot more useful than the New York Times or the Washington Post. Plus, the articles are better written too. Now, we have a new reason to like the Bee: Following the Fifth Circuit’s decision holding that HB 20, the Texas law prohibiting social media viewpoint discrimination, the Bee’s CEO, Seth Dillon, is promising to go after Twitter for banning it from the platform.

The Fifth Circuit accepted the theory that the social media outlets have moved into the status of common carriers because they are the primary means by which most Americans obtain and share information. That means that they can no longer hide behind the claim that, as private corporations, they can do whatever they want.

The FBI may have just made the best case for dismantling itself

Who’s the Real Boss at the FDA?

When Patrizia Cavazzoni used to work at Pfizer, she reported to the pharmaceutical behemoth’s chief executive. Since she started working at the FDA, it’s hard to see what’s changed. As the director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) at the regulatory agency, Cavazzoni knows that Pfizer and its peer institutions keep the lights on at the FDA.

The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), signed into law during the final months of the George H.W. Bush administration, permits departments within the FDA such as CDER to collect funds known as user fees from drug manufacturers seeking the approval legally required to market their products. For perspective, 65 percent of CDER’s $1 billion annual budget comes from user fees.

BlackRock CEO says the crisis in the price of energy is accelerating investment in green energy

The CEO of the BlackRock investment firm said that skyrocketing energy prices are shrinking the “green premium” and causing more investment to flow into green energy sources.

Larry Fink was being interviewed by former President Bill Clinton as part of the Clinton Global Initiative when he made the comments in defense of ESG environmental scoring.

“Because of the rise in energy prices, we are certainly seeing the green premium shrink quite considerably,” said Fink.

“And so the amount of investment dollars that are going into new decarbonization technologies is accelerating, and they are accelerating very rapidly,” he added.

Only because it’s a manufactured crisis to benefit [the rat] Fink’s company.

Fauci Justifies Using School Kids as Collateral Damage for COVID Shutdowns

“Sometimes when you do draconian things, it has collateral negative consequences. Just like when you shut things down, even temporarily, it does have deleterious consequences on the economy, on the school children, you know that, but you have to make a balance,” Fauci said.

I’ll say it again, stake him out next to a nest of fire ants.

Putin’s Address: Approaching the Precipice

“The subject of this address is the situation in Donbass and the course of the special military operation to liberate it from the neo-Nazi regime, which seized power in Ukraine in 2014 as the result of an armed state coup.”

Putin doesn’t beat around the bush. He comes out firing against the “Neo-Nazi regime” and the violent coup started in 2014. A coup that was facilitated by Obama and then Vice President Biden at the time. This is why Biden continues to send hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. They are protecting their Deep State proxy.

This is why you see China and Russia in the news making joint statements about preventing “Western Colour Revolutions2. Russia are fighting back against the US proxy Ukraine, and now China looking to remove US influence in Taiwan. The East are standing up to the West.

Citadel Investment Boss Ken Griffin Previously Gave DeSantis $10 Million, Today Says He Would Accept Position as Treasury Secretary

Is that all it takes?

Sundance put this out, and what I would like to know is who dug the letter out of the pile of Obama docs. I have a feeling someone knew what they were looking for, and where to find it since the physical stuff is still in storage, and likely has not been archived by professionals or indexed. Whoever found this, knew where to look in the digital documents.

Letter Surfaces of Obama Foundation Admitting in 2018 They Keep Classified Documents in Unsecured Storage at Furniture Warehouse

Hoffman Estates” is a Chicago area location containing an abandoned furniture store and warehouse.  The Obama Foundation leased, then re-upped the lease, to use the facility to store all the paper documents from the Obama administration {Location Link}.

The Obama administration told the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) they were going to upload the documents into a digital form for use in the Obama library.  The paper documents were, still are, held at the Hoffman Estate warehouse while this digitization process took place.  It should be noted, the Obama Foundation has never digitized the records, hence they renewed the warehouse lease….

Once again, to hopefully save the time of responding to DC inquiry, all of this information is open-source discovery.  It exists in the vast space of the internet and this letter itself is found in the archives of the Obama Foundation itself.

2Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. 3What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun? 4A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains for ever. 5The sun rises and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises. 6The wind blows to the south, and goes round to the north; round and round goes the wind, and on its circuits the wind returns. 7All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again. 8All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. 9What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun. 10Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”? It has been already, in the ages before us. 11There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to happen among those who come after.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:12-20

12Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; 14if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. 17If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied. 20But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Okay, now that Special Prosecutor John Durham has produced another revelation – that Igor Danchenko was on the FBI’s payroll during the first Trump Administration as confidential informant – we have competing theories as to what the purpose of the probe really is. Sundance came out in the “it’s part of the cover-up” camp Tuesday evening, and doubled down on that on Wednesday linking the Durham Probe and the raid on Mar-A-Lago as having the same goal: keep the FBI malfeasance under wraps.

He’s not alone in that stance, but there are others who don’t share that opinion.

Brian Cates

Well….SURPRISE!

Durham didn’t wait for the trial to actually start before dropping his first bombshell.

The entire time the media was in a frenzy over “RussiaGate”, the entire time the Mueller Special Counsel was active, the entire time Gen. Flynn and others were being targeted for investigations and prosecutions based on fake allegations or no evidence whatsoever….

the FBI Crossfire Hurricane team / Mueller Special Counsel had ol’ Igor tucked safely away for safekeeping.

The whole time people were running around trying to make sense of the Dossier, where it’s fake allegations came from, who the primary source was, the source was being paid to hide and keep his mouth shut.

Boy, I bet nobody was more surprised than Igor when he suddenly got indicted by Special Counsel John Durham after getting this special treatment from the FBI/Mueller SCO for more than 3 years.

Sucks to be you, Igor.

Brian Cates

Devin Nunes will be able to freely talk once Durham’s revealed more of his evidence.

Nunes always said when people found out what really happened with SpyGate, it would blow their minds.

Especially after the Fake News spent more than 5 years trying to program everybody about who it was in the 2016 election that was working with Russian intelligence.

They insisted there was good credible evidence that showed Donald Trump and his associates were Putin affiliated. Working with the Russians.

But that was never true.

In fact it was the Hillary Clinton campaign that was paying an actual Russian national, a ‘former’ [note I always put ‘former’ in quotes?] Russian intelligence officer to create most of the Steele Dossier accusing Trump and his team of being Russian agents.

5 years they managed to keep a lid on this, that Hillary paid an actual Russian spy to help create a dossier accusing her campaign rival of being a Russian agent.

Durham’s about to take the lid off with evidence in the courtroom.

And I’m gonna enjoy watching it.

Durham shocker: Danchenko was a paid FBI informant

The purposes of making Danchenko a CHS should be quite clear. The Crossfire Hurricane investigation was plagued with problems from the outset. The reasons for opening the investigation were bunk. Those problems continued as the investigation went on, with claims of Trump/Russia collusion proven unverified or outright false. (Thus the targeting of Flynn for a Logan Act violation.)

That developed into the Carter Page FISA applications, first submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in October 2016, and which relied substantially on the Steele Dossiers (aka Steele Reports). The FISA applications were renewed three times – more on that later. Each application had its own problems, from FBI lawyers lying about Carter Page to the Court being generally misled.

Realizing its own misconduct, the FBI made Danchenko a paid CHS in March 2017 – just before the third FISA warrant was submitted in April 2017. This would allow Comey’s FBI to work directly with Danchenko in support of its counter-intelligence investigation against President Trump.

Danchenko being a CHS also served another purpose: it protected the Bureau and the Mueller Special Counsel from revealing their “sources and methods.” How do you hide misconduct? Bury the witness.

What is interesting in this, is that the mainstream media essentially declared the probe over. This is from the New York Times.

The special counsel appointed by the Trump administration to examine the Russia investigation seems to be wrapping up its work with no further charges in store.

Curious.

As of this writing, I haven’t taken a side, as there is so much flak in the air, the curtain still hasn’t dropped.

I’m an arts and theater person. It ain’t over ’til it’s over, and it ain’t over yet.

Don’t let yourself get burnt out on information.

Take it from me, this is a very real thing. There was a time, for the first year or so of my awakening, where before both of my eyes were fully open in the morning, I was reaching for my phone to check what was going on in the world. I was obsessed with the daily goings on, reading every news story, deciphering the possible hidden meanings, and it completely depleted me for awhile. Dangerously depleted, to the point where it almost killed for good my desire to pay attention or try to help out anymore. Those who followed me back then might remember entire weeks and months where I would go missing. For those weeks and months I was utterly useless to the cause I care so much about. It was a big lesson for me, and over time I have finally learned to listen to my soul which was crying out for balance.

Balance is the key to health.

Sure, a big part of what we’re in is an information war, that is very true. But there’s only so far we can advance in this direction with misinformation coming from both sides and no real access to “inside” information. How can we actually know anything? Even if you see something with your own eyes, it might not be an actual representation of the truth. Good guys might be bad, bad guys might be good. It’s exhausting.

In my opinion, the goal is to pay attention enough to grasp the big picture. Familiarize yourself with what we are up against and the tactics they use, this will support your drive to fight for what’s right. And we must stand up for what’s right. But that’s only a piece of it.

We were born during this time to be a part of something massive: The Great Awakening. Humanity has been on the path of covert slavery in a Silent War that was waged on us while we were sleeping. This point in history is where the path starts to pivot and turn back in the other direction.

Former Twitter Security Chief to Congress: Twitter Leadership Is “Misleading” Public” and Can Track Any User’s Location at Any Time (VIDEO)

A Leaking Ship of Fools

Thinking — and doing it well — is tricky business. This is especially true if by “thinking” you mean eventually arriving at the truth. In order to do so one must have reliable facts and terms, some understanding of the rules of logic, and, most importantly a clear understanding of how one thing differs from another. Unfortunately, we seem to be losing any ability to do that. I don’t know if this lack of specificity and discrimination has been trained into us via propaganda and indoctrination, or if we’ve just become lazy and don’t want to bother. One way or another we no longer practice the 3 Ds of thought: discernment, differentiation, and distinction.

Time to Stop Living a Half-Life

The world in which we currently live, or rather survive, is no longer sustainable. Although the talk about environmental sustainability is ubiquitous, that’s not what I’m referencing here—and I’m certainly not talking about the meritless mutterings of the leading environmental ideologues. There is, instead, a different kind of sustainability having nothing to do with proper stewardship of the planet but has to do with sustaining our own human existence and living in balance with our nature—particularly with our minds.

The machinations of atomization, which only grew stronger in the last two years, are moving us along toward darkness. Some say that every epoch marked by technological changes requires a period of adjustment and ironing out before things can run smoothly again. Therefore, they say, there is nothing to worry about in our time. This is fine. It has happened before, and people then, as now, always react foolishly in the face of inevitable progress.

The Regime’s ‘Operation MAGA Fascist’ Gains Ground

A barrage of subpoenas issued recently by the Department of Justice—U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves’ office specifically—against Trump aides is not seeking  information about the Capitol protest but personal communications discussing what happened with the election and plans to fight the results. Graves wants records dating back to October 2020 “constituting any evidence (a) tending to show that there was fraud of any kind in or relating to the 2020 Presidential Election, or (b) used or relied upon to support any claim of fraud in relation to the 2020 Presidential Election.”

Targets must produce correspondence detailing “any strategies or options for ensuring the certification of Donald J. Trump.” Graves also is demanding information about how Trump raised money from “efforts to contest the 2020 election.”

Of course, this is what the January 6 hysteria has always been about. As the chaos unfolded on January 6, Joe Biden and his apparatchiks immediately denounced believers of the so-called “Big Lie”—the claim the election had been rigged, if not stolen, by powerful interests who wanted nothing more than to defeat Trump—and vowed revenge would come swiftly. “The totalitarian company line is any suggestion that election fraud exists is tantamount to sedition,” I wrote on January 11, 2021. “Americans who dare doubt the results, a popular political sport for Democrats over the past four years, are now vilified as ‘insurrectionists’ and plenty of our fellow countrymen want it punished accordingly.”

Oh, how their dreams have come true. Nearly 900 Americans face criminal charges for mostly nonviolent participation in the Capitol protest; lives have been destroyed, even ended, as a result of this cruel, vengeful prosecution recently rebranded the “Capitol Siege” investigation by Graves’ office. The weapons used in the first war on terror—secret surveillance, invasive investigation, armed raids, torture, and political prisons to name a few tactics—have been aimed at Trump supporters across the country in a show of force and intimidation.

Okay, so before the show started on Thursday with the “death watch and rushing to the queen’s side” of the Mountbatten offspring, something caught my eye:

Really? According to James Corbett’s 9/11 Trillions; Follow the Money, the EXACT SAME THING happened on September 10, 2001.

And then Patriot Charlie started rapid fire tweeting after quite a while being quiet to sporadic.

Not that one. This one:

Yes, the ANNOUNCEMENT of the queen’s death, whenever it actually happened since multiple “insiders” claim she’s been gone two or three years, is a marker.

In addition, something else curious popped up. It seems Jorge Bergoglio, aka Francis the talking mu…, uh the guy in white, has nothing on his calendar after September 30 according to a traditionalist Catholic who is really rather a normie.

Hmm….

And to top it off on 9-10 and 9-11 there is a full moon.

Mar-a-Lago Raid Connected to Ongoing UN Nuclear Investigation of IRAN?!

What does this mean? It means that even though Obama gave Iran $150+ BILLION taxpayer dollars to NOT make Nuclear weapons, they did it anyways. Anons knew this already, but why are the IAEA in Iran NOW? Why are they probing Iran’s nuclear weapons NOW? Iran Deal in the US news cycle? Mar-a-Lago Docs about Iran Deal?

There MUST be a connection between the IAEA investigation in Iran, and the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. Trump confirmed to us that the docs in question were about the Iran Deal. The dates on the photos confirm it’s about the Iran Deal. And coincidentally the U.N. International Nuclear watchdog was conducting an investigation on Iran’s Nuclear production at the same time the FBI needed Trump’s private documents pertaining to Obama’s Iran Deal… something is up.

FOIA Request Uncovers FBI Effort to Get Americans to Forfeit 2nd Amendment Rights

Figures: Unhinged Fake News Hack Helped Write Joe Biden’s Famous Moloch Speech

This weekend we learned that Jon Meacham, the former national affairs editor at Newsweek and a contributing editor at TIME Magazine, helped write Joe Biden’s hateful screed.

New Poll Finds Majority Of Americans Believe Biden’s Anti-MAGA Speech Was Meant To Incite Conflict

The poll, conducted by the Trafalgar Group for the Convention of States Action, found that 56.8 percent of likely general election voters said that Biden’s speech in which he designated MAGA Republicans extremists “represents a dangerous escalation in rhetoric and is designed to incite conflict amongst Americans.”

35.5 percent of Americans said that the speech “is acceptable campaign messaging that is expected in an election year.”

Split by political party, Democrats were more likely to see the speech as “acceptable,” while Republicans and independents said that the speech was a “dangerous escalation.”

70.8 percent of Democrats said that the speech was “acceptable campaign messaging,” while 18.7 percent said that it was “designed to incite conflict.”

A vast majority of Republicans, 89.1 percent, said that Biden’s speech “represents a dangerous escalation,” with just 4.7 percent saying it was “acceptable,” and 6.2 percent saying they weren’t sure.

Biden and the Dems Are Skipping Straight to the Final Stage of Socialism

During the first stages of socialism in Russia right after the Bolshevik revolution, the new workers’ paradise appeared from the outside, where the gulags weren’t so easy to see, to be youthful, dynamic, and promising. The American journalist Lincoln Steffens visited Soviet Russia in 1919 and was enthusiastic, declaring: “I have seen the future, and it works.” Other American intellectuals visited the Soviet Union and were likewise enthused; the New York Times’ Walter Duranty was so enamored of the place that he willfully covered up evidence of Stalin’s Ukrainian famine so that Times readers wouldn’t get a negative view of the new Russia.

This sort of thing went on for years. Two decades later, with the U.S. on the brink of entering World War II, three young folk singers named Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, and Josh White, who called themselves the Almanac Singers, recorded Songs for John Doe, an album of peace songs. This was the time of the Nazi-Soviet pact, and as Seeger, Guthrie, and White were all hardcore Communists, they didn’t want the U.S. joining any war against Stalin’s ally Hitler. Hitler soon betrayed Stalin and invaded the Soviet Union, and suddenly these pacifists were passionate for the war and able to pose as patriots. For decades, Seeger, Guthrie, and multitudes of others worked tirelessly to make the Soviet Union and Marxism chic among American Leftists. It worked.

The Elites Are DEFINITELY Getting Prepared — Are You?

THE COMMUNITY SOLUTION TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS

So what can be done?

To begin with, the Biden administration could actually fund action on climate change. Congress recently passed $840 BILLION for the war machine. They sent $52 Billion to semiconductor chip manufacturers and President Biden is proposing $37 Billion to fund our impressively brutal police nationwide.

Wow! It sounds like a lot of money is being thrown around. So how much is Biden willing to spend to make sure we can live on this planet for a few more years?

“Biden announces $2.3 billion commitment for climate crisis,” read a July NewsNation headline.

So they’re allotting 365 times as much money to the war machine as they are offering for the climate crisis.

Their negligence forces us to ask what you and I can realistically do to address climate change because Western governments have decided that they aren’t going to do it.

THE UKRAINE GRIFT

Already U.S. involvement in the Russo-Ukrainian War appears to be a repeat of yesterday’s “forever wars” in Iraq and Afghanistan, with their incalculable human toll and estimated $6.5 trillion financial price tag by 2050 – and that’s just the interest payments – according to Brown University’s Costs of War Project. And just like Iraq and Afghanistan, the money Americans are supplying Ukraine is subject to waste, fraud, and abuse. Indeed, a documentary by CBS News quoted an assessment by Jonas Ohman, the founder of Blue-Yellow, a nonprofit that provides Ukrainian soldiers and volunteers with non-lethal supplies, that only 30 percent of aid was reaching the front lines in April.

We know plenty of aid is going to waste, but we don’t really know how much we have already or will yet commit.

Behind the ‘Grid Emergency’

How did we get here? Or, more accurately, how did we get here again?

Reading about the California energy crisis brings on déjà vu in those who remember the last one, which wracked the state in 2000 and 2001. That episode also involved rising prices and rolling blackouts. It led to the downfall of a governor, the shuttering of the California Power Exchange, the state’s privatized electricity marketplace, and the bankruptcy of the utility company that serves northern California, Pacific Gas & Electric.

Now PG&E is fresh out of bankruptcy proceedings again, for the second time in less than two decades. The deeper problems with its grid have not yet been fixed. Why can’t California keep the lights on?

The two electricity crises had different superficial causes but the fundamental problem in both cases was the same. The ideological commitments of politicians and regulators blinded them to the depredations of parasitic actors who extracted huge amounts of money from the system and introduced instability that ultimately led to disaster.

Almost 25% of Democrats think men can get pregnant

It turns out that 36% of White, college-educated Democrat women think men can get pregnant. I’ve written before about how leftism damages women. It makes them extremely angry and neurotic. It also, apparently, cuts them off from reality. Sadly, these same women are a force to be reckoned with politically. They may be loopy, but they’ve got political power.

  1. Add the rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.
  2. Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora or coupe glass.
  3. Garnish with a brandied cherry (or a lemon twist, if preferred).

I always thought the primary ingredient was Bourbon, but Rye would work.

It’s a light day as of the first pass of this post, but one BIG story did break on Thursday:

CAUGHT RED-HANDED — Missouri AG Schmitt’s Lawsuit Against Biden Admin with TGP as Plaintiff REVEALS GOVERNMENT-WIDE ‘CENSORSHIP ENTERPRISE’!!!

And from Revolver:

REVEALED: Facebook & Biden admin arranged weekly/monthly calls to discuss what to censor on the platform…

This hit everyone’s least favorite social media platform like a freight train.

Ain’t legal discovery grand?

The basement dummy went to Philadelphia to “address the nation.” The whole thing can be summed up in two tweets:

Tweets and Stones

Recently, former CIA director Michael Hayden implied on Twitter that former President Donald Trump should be executed for violating the Espionage Act.  After MSNBC contributor Michael Beschloss suggested in a tweet that Trump should be executed like the Rosenbergs for giving U.S. nuclear secrets to Moscow in 1953, Hayden retweeted: “Sounds about right.”

It was a year ago almost to the day that Hayden retweeted a meme comparing Trump-supporters to the Taliban in Afghanistan.  The retweet occurred at the same time the Taliban were overrunning Kabul in August 2021.  This helps to explain a lot in terms of Hayden’s total lack of self-awareness on Twitter, but it fails to help us understand exactly what’s behind the retweet that suggested that Trump should be executed.

Where are the ‘right-wing extremists’?

If you listen to the Left, parents of public school students are right-wing extremists because they don’t want their children to learn perverse sex, drag queenery, masturbation, pedophilia, and an America Sucks ideology. Parents don’t want their children to be taught to hate people with different skin color. Does that make the parents extremists? Apparently so: Parents have been labeled by the National Schools Boards Association as domestic terrorists, although the NSBA later apologized for the terminology.

Merrick Garland seconded the motion about labeling parents as domestic terrorists by threatening to set his DoJ dogs on parents  who object to what their kids are being taught in public schools. So I guess that parents who actually get involved in their children’s education by showing up to protest are now threats to our democracy.

Washington versus Republican voters

Unfortunately, many of the very people responsible for losing the Senate last cycle are now trying to stop us from winning the majority this time by trash-talking our Republican candidates. It’s an amazing act of cowardice, and ultimately, it’s treasonous to the conservative cause. Giving anonymous quotes to help the Washington Post or the New York Times write stories trashing Republicans is the same as working with the Democratic National Committee.

If you want to talk about the need to raise more money to promote our candidates versus the Democrats’ terrible candidates, I agree. If you want to trash-talk our candidates to help the Democrats, pipe down. That’s not what leaders do. And Republicans need to be leaders that build up the team and do everything they can to get the entire team over the finish line.

Ultimately, though, when you complain and lament that we have “bad candidates,” what you are really saying is that you have contempt for the voters who chose them. Now we are at the heart of the matter.  Much of Washington’s chattering class disrespects and secretly (or not so secretly) loathes Republican voters.  

That op ed by Senator Rick Scott got praise from OT:

Subtle, But Valuable – Senator Rick Scott Pushes Back Against Arrogance of Senate DeceptiCons

It is refreshing to see a republican politician taking the arrogance of the McConnell crew to task.  It is even more refreshing to see Senator Scott use the atomic sledgehammer of truth:

How Weed Became the New OxyContin

Prior to legalization, marijuana plants were bred to produce higher and higher concentrations of THC, a naturally occuring chemical compound in the plant that induces euphoria and alters users’ perceptions of reality. In the 1960s, the stuff the hippies were smoking was less than 2% THC. By the ’90s, it was closer to 5%. By 2015, it was over 20%. “It’s a freak plant that resembles nothing of what has existed in nature,” said Laura Stack, a public speaker who has advocated against the industry since her son, Johnny, killed himself three years ago at 19 years old after years of cannabis abuse drove him into psychosis.

LGB is Worried About T

A number of gay people who spent years trying to convince Americans that they were just normal people who deserve to be part of America, with jobs, homes and families like anyone else, worry that all their efforts are being destroyed by the “Trans” people, who are taking over their movement and becoming the public face of it

Our Ship of State is Becoming a Ship of Fools

Plato, of course, was targeting the Athenian democracy, and its presumption that ordinary citizens have the capacity to govern, even though they lack the philosophical knowledge that shows what is good for people and the city they inhabit––not power, conquest, wealthy, or the pleasures of the body, but the virtue that comes from philosophical study. In other words, a technocratic oligarchy that Plato called “guardians” in his imagined perfect government.

For over a century the West has been evolving into such a government, whether it be socialism, communism, or the progressivism that has increasingly dominated our technocratic “managerial elite” and the numerous executive agencies staffed by credentialed “experts” who know better than the people what’s best for them.

This tyranny of the minority “managerial elite” has been more dangerous than the tyranny of the majority, assaulting our Constitutional structure that managed to avoid those extremes through divided and balanced government, along with the unalienable rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

MEME STASH:

And now for the business portion of the post borrowed from Tuesday:

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.

And Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

1 CORINTHIANS 4:1-5

1This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. 3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself. 4I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. 5Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God.

LUKE 5:33-39

33And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.” 34And Jesus said to them, “Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.” 36He told them a parable also: “No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old garment; if he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39And no one after drinking old wine desires new; for he says, `The old is good.'”

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20220901

Here we are on Thursday and the day started with Sundance posting using this photo:

Never mind all the analysis of what the documents are. The lampooning of the photo itself was most entertaining.

https://twitter.com/PapiTrumpo/status/1564988546158575618

Biden Justice Department’s Response to Trump’s Demand for Special Master Includes Staged Photo of Alleged ‘Classified’ Documents Perfectly Lined Up on Mar-a-Lago Carpet

White House Publicly States Biden Position, Donald Trump Voters “Are an Extreme Threat to Our Democracy”

Why is Washington DC So Intensely Focused on Targeting Donald Trump and Labeling His Supporters as Threats to Democracy?

We see the fully evolving system today with the merge of federal intelligence agencies and social media (big tech) collaborating.  Disinformation panels etc, are yet again an outcome of this political surveillance continuum. Now we see that ordinary discussion of information, newly defined as against the interest of the regime, has evolved to become targeting material.  Speech is now controlled from the same viewpoint as ‘terror threats.’

On to other matters:

Qtah

Just had a discussion with a sheep who believes that DeSantis would be better than Trump because DeSantis doesn’t “mean tweet”.

Remind the 🐑 that “mean tweets” led us to the greatest economy in the world, built the wall, exposed the corrupt global media, built the Supreme Court to last, reenergized the forgotten men and women of America, promised to destroy the hidden enemy who wishes to destroy us.

No man is perfect, but no man has underwent the challenges President Trump has gone for us! 🇺🇸

1 CORINTHIANS 3:18-23

18Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” 21So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours, 22whether Paul or Apol’los or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours; 23and you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

LUKE 5:1-11

1While the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennes’aret. 2And he saw two boats by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6And when they had done this, they enclosed a great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking, 7they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” 9For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10and so also were James and John, sons of Zeb’edee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men.” 11And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

DEAR MAGA: TGIF Open Thread 20220826

I have so many blasted tabs open, let’s get a move on.

Sidecar

Ingredients

1 teaspoon white sugar
2 fluid ounces Cognac
1 fluid ounce orange-flavored liqueur (such as Cointreau®)
½ fluid ounce lemon juice
1 cup ice cubes

Directions

  • Step 1 Sprinkle sugar on a small plate. Lightly wet half the rim of of a coupe glass with a damp paper towel. Dip the moistened rim in sugar to coat. Set the glass in the refrigerator to chill.
  • Step 2 Combine Cognac, orange-flavored liqueur, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker. Add ice, cover, and shake until chilled. Strain into the chilled, sugar-rimmed coupe.

Okay, here we go:

California GOP RINOs Unendorse Pro-Trump State Candidate for Free Speech on Facebook – Would Rather See Pelosi Democrat Instead

Uni-party GOP would rather have the cops follow them home from the country club instead of getting stopped for suspected DUI. Yes, that does happen.

The Second American Civil War, and Ways to Win It

America is in dire need of leaders and supporters who care much more about the preservation of the nation’s constitutional republic than about enriching themselves or doing only what their major donors desire.  America needs many more courageous, patriotic leaders like Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who, along with other bold actions, recently fired a George Soros–funded leftist Florida prosecutor.

America Has Become Less Liberal, but Not Necessarily More Conservative

The left is losing the battle for the minds of the American electorate, Morning Consult research shows, with voters decreasingly identifying as liberal in recent years. But that doesn’t mean the country is lurching to the right.

Instead, an increase in the share of Americans who identify as moderate, or who are uncertain about where exactly they stand on the ideological spectrum, reveals a growing and electorally decisive center that is discontented with either side’s extremes.

They’re still distracted.

The Economist chimes in:

Donald Trump’s endorsements are reshaping the Republican Party

Ya don’t say.

What Would the Devil Have to Do Today to Destroy America?

In 1965, columnist and commentator Paul Harvey wrote an interesting piece titled, “If I were the Devil.”  This was basically a commentary on what Harvey would do if he were Satan and wanted to destroy America.

Nearly 60 years later, most of what Harvey predicted has come to pass.  While America has not been completely destroyed, our nation is clearly in decline.  In 2022, here’s what I would do if I wanted to finish the job.

Why Are Woke Leftists So Ugly?

From being around them on a regular basis, they don’t put in any effort to groom well or look decent.

The Vaccine Money Has Dried Up At Fox News!

In case you missed it, the pro-vaccine frauds at Fox News are trying to pivot away from pushing the experimental Big Pharma shots day and night for two years — it’s almost like the Pfizer and Moderna advertising dollars have suddenly dried up!

Something is going on at FOX on this, that’s for sure.

What’s Going On in America

What’s going on today does not make sense — especially for those Americans who want America to succeed and remain the number-one superpower on Earth.  When Mr. Biden allows for the FBI to raid his once and probably future political opponent’s personal home and threaten his political opponent with jail time in our democratic republic, we know that’s not fair, not just, and un-American.  When we see fences around the White House, fences around the FBI headquarters, and fences surrounding the Capitol dome, yet there are no fences on our southern border, we know it’s just not right.  When we are forced to take experimental vaccines (a clear violation of the Nuremberg Code) or not allowed to work or move about the country freely, we know that’s just not right.  When we see that $85 million of American military equipment left for terrorists and goat-herders in Afghanistan who hate us and want our destruction, we wonder who is fighting for us.

We have to fight for ourselves. No one else is going to do it.

A Reckoning Is Coming. Can They Escape It?

But, a reckoning is coming, and you can see the signs if you know where to look. The reckoning started before today when Anthony Fauci decided to “retire” after decades of service. It started before Walensky decided to “restructure” and “reform” the CDC. But these are two little signs that they know a dam is about to break, and they are doing their best to get in front of it before they are all flooded out. They are attempting these “changes” so that they can hide behind them and use them as cover for accountability. “See! We knew we did wrong; that is why we went ahead and fixed all of those pesky issues that caused us to harm millions of our citizens! We did wrong, we are sorry, and we restructured to make sure it never happens again.”

I wanted to make a list of their transgressions, but when I began to throw some of them out there, I realized how monotonous it would get. They started when the first case of COVID was formally declared here in the United States because their data showed the virus was circulating here far earlier. I proved it. Many of you also experienced it yourselves in the fall of 2019.

The U.S. Government, guided by the CDC, NIH, and other bureaucracies, literally DESTROYED the entire country. And it wasn’t just a United States thing; it was an entire world thing. It was tyrannical globalism. Not the kind that is ushered in by getting folks all amped up about global warming. This was much different. This was forced.

International Military Tribunals to be Held in Mariupol, Ukraine!

Comment by the Russian Embassy in the United States on the State Department’s statement on the upcoming Tribunal in Mariupol:

🔹We have taken note of another groundless accusations against our country related to the Tribunal over Ukrainian war criminals.

🔹The upcoming Trial is aimed at bringing justice to war criminals, among which there are Nazis from the Azov Regiment. Washington is clearly afraid of making public the evidence of the inhumane acts committed by the members of this terrorist organization.

Well, alrighty, then.

What is it about left-wing environmental wackos and glue?

Is Something Else Going On In Wuhan?

The Galveston National Laboratory (GNL), part of the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), the Epoch Times reports, now concedes that officials signed “poorly drafted” agreements with three Chinese labs, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). 

The agreements gave China the power to destroy “secret files, materials, and equipment, without any backups.” The agreements applied to “all cooperation and exchange documents, data, details and materials,” were renewable every five years, and the confidentiality terms remain in force even after termination. 

The UTMB claims that no documents or confidential information had been destroyed, and denies there was ever any request that documents be destroyed. That claim troubled biosafety activist Edward Hammond.

“Is it sloppiness, as UTMB suggests?” Hammond asked the Epoch Times, “or is something else going on?” The answer requires a review of matters neglected by Congress and establishment media alike. 

A brief guide to Soviet architecture

RINO Republicans sit on the board of a nonprofit which bankrolls global leftwing censorship efforts

Founded in 2006, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue is a London-based nonprofit with a stated purpose of “safeguarding human rights and reversing the rising tide of polarisation [sic], extremism, and disinformation worldwide.” The group previously worked with the Obama administration, combating “violent extremism”, and their website lists critical topics most vulnerable to fake news and hate speech….

So which Republicans help fund this nightmarish leftist enterprise? If you guessed Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, or Mitt Romney, you’d be correct. However, a few more are flying under the radar, and they are Tom Cotton, Joni Ernst, Dan Sullivan, and Kay Granger.

Those seven members of Congress sit on the board of the International Republican Institute, which is listed as a donor to ISD. Additionally, ISD lists partnerships with the McCain Institute — John McCain was a former chairman for 25 years — as well as a tentacle of the United Nations. On top of receiving funding from the IRI and those seven prominent Republicans, other benefactors to the ISD include George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:17-25

17For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 18For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart.” 20Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
