“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism.

Thanks to TradeBait’s recent story centered on Elvis Presley, I was actually in an Elvis mood when my wife – an Elvis fan long before we met – decided that “we” were going to see the new Elvis movie at the earliest opportunity.
Not having been to very many movies recently, I’m pretty much immune to most of the propaganda, in part because it jumps out at me AS propaganda. During “trailer time” they were laying it on THICK. I think that EVERY single message had AT LEAST some propagandistic edge – and MOST were straight-up PC messaging.
The political correctness effects of BlackRock, DIE (diversity, inclusion, equity), ESG (environment, social, governance), and “The Black List” (Marxist filter on financial backing through POC puppets) are all extremely visible in everything – product ads – trailers – public service messages.
It’s not like I’m “opposed” to some of these ideas, but the heavy-handed, communistic, “struggle session” nature of the messaging is just CRINGE CITY.
I mean, good grief. I thought that Dove Soap was going to commit hara-kiri for having utterly failed black America in some way that I still don’t grasp. PUHLEASE. You sold soap, for crying out loud. And you sold it to everybody! Black people too! Give yourselves a pat on the back and GO HOME. You’re ridiculous!
(I can’t find a video of what I saw, but this is just a hint of it.)
So anyway, I was primed for all kinds of cultural Marxism when the Elvis show began.
The opening sequence did NOT disappoint in that respect. A Tom Hanks dream sequence, filled with occult and pedophile symbolism, just had me shaking my head.
Flying spaghetti monster squids with the boy love symbol?
Snow globes heavily veering into crystal ball territory?
The movie had no place to go but up.
AND IT DID.
It’s hard for me to describe what this movie is, but I can say that it grew on me, until I felt very satisfied at the end.
It’s more like a work of ART trying to explain the SOUL of Elvis Presley, than anything else. And oddly – uniquely – this movie does so through the eyes of a rather brilliant CON-MAN manager, who used that same deep understanding of Elvis to first “own” and then manipulate him.
Elvis loved what he did. He loved music. He loved the crowd. He loved performing. He loved his parents – forcing himself into an unending vow to “take care of them”, no matter the costs.
Elvis Presley was one of those brilliantly over-performing co-dependents – no bones about it – and the movie shows it.
Judging from my own memories of history, the movie “got it right”, too, although I think the movie played some things (like infidelity, overweight, and drug use) more metaphorically than factually, while still admitting them unflinchingly. There was a lot of “compression”
The movie did NOT show the “Rat Ranch” – but it showed the same thing differently and in several ways. Names and locations were chosen to fluff and protect the legend just a bit.
Things WERE highlighted or magnified in focus to show why Elvis always crossed racial barriers in his appeal.
Like I said – it’s ART – not a documentary.
One thing which is actually cool is Tom Hanks’ disturbing accent, which was intentionally over-done in order to make viewers realize that “something was amiss” with Presley’s manager, Col. Tom Parker. In reality, people sometimes took a while to pick up on Parker’s accent, which sounded “regional Southern” yet somehow “off”. The accent betrays a secret which was in some ways part of the downfall of both Elvis and Parker, but I won’t spoil the movie by going into the specifics. Just know that Hanks was asked not to do his subject’s actual subtle accent, but rather to “push it” so that listeners would pick up the clue. See THIS LINK.
There are other breaks with reality which – well – I’m less willing to defend, except to call them artistic license.
Just watch this trailer. You only need to see about a minute of it. Look for what is best described as the “pink scene” around 50 seconds in.
If the “pink Elvis” bothers you, trust me – the movie is far more blatant, and even pushes the “trans” stuff into the narration. You could say that there is an “appeal to gay revisionism”.
I may be mistaken about this point, but I’m pretty sure I’m not. It is my distinct impression that “Elvis the Pelvis” was a lot more about “manly macho” than about “tranny pink” and “girly make-up”. There is a distinct “LGBTQCIA” nature to the retelling that just does not comport with the reality of Elvis Presley.
Likewise, there seems to be much more “ESG” in this Elvis, than in the one I remember. Yeah, Elvis was no bigot, and he had a very subtle way of not dignifying the bigots who hated him, but there seems to be an effort here to turn Elvis into a fist-raised civil rights icon, which I somehow missed. The Elvis I remember was perhaps the most successful “can’t we all just get along” type who never even had to say it. I say we should give him credit for being the KING of that approach, because I’m pretty sure that’s gonna be fashionable again, and in a big way.
And there’s more, in the way of classic cultural Marxism. There is an extended sequence which pivots on “out-of-style traditional Christmas entertainment” as the boring cultural bad guy of the plot, threatening to undo poor Elvis, and that negativity is just SO typical of H-wood’s subtle communist psychological programming.
On the other hand, some of this stuff is actually a reasonable part of the artistic compression – such as highlighting that MLKJ was already speaking on the negative side of rock and roll culture for kids.
Complicated business.
So YEAH – there’s a good bit of lefty psy-op under the hood. Be AWARE of that to defuse it, or just don’t even bother seeing the movie, if Hollywood politicking crosses your red lines.
BUT – like I said – it’s art. It tells us as much about THIS time, as it does about THAT time.
Technically, the movie does a lot of things right. The women’s costuming and hairstyling is fantastic – watch for a few Oscar nominations. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many women in a film showing the actual beauty of women in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
Austin Butler as Elvis Presley is VERY GOOD. He won me over to the point where the real Elvis footage at the end served as a “high five” for a job well done.
The Presley family felt the same way – they got “carried away” by the performance, just like I did. Same with my wife – the “real” Elvis fan. She loved it.
I had some fun watching this next video after the movie, because all the actors are so much more “2022” in reality, than they were in the flick. The differences are striking. They’re all modern Hollywood dweebs in “reality”, but in the movie, they do seem far more “real”, as part of the past. Or is that just me? (*sigh*)
Compare the lady playing young Priscilla, above, to her transformation in the film, shown below.
I know that picture on the right probably makes the movie look like it’s all a bunch of grins and giggles – well, just think of that same gal throwing a mean fist of pill bottles across a Vegas penthouse, after Elvis shoots up the place, before she walks out.
There’s no whitewash – BUT there was also some extremely convincing romance and love shown – even when it all falls apart. I feel like I really gained some needed insight into the relationship of Elvis and Priscilla. I feel like something healed.
So there you have it. An interesting movie. Glad I saw it. Consider a viewing yourself – especially of you love his music. There’s a LOT of good music in this movie.

I was very shocked, recently, to find that Dr. Sherry Tenpenny was banned from Truth Social for calling the mRNA COVID vaccines “bioweapons”.
Dr. Tenpenny commented back.
Let’s take a closer look at that!
I can tell you this – by the time I saw this, Dr. Tenpenny had been reinstated on Truth Social. I’m not sure what went on behind the scenes, but within hours, she was back on.
Here was Dr. Tenpenny’s comment back to Jeff Dornik.
@jeffdornik – We had developed just shy of 5000 followers in six weeks on TS.
We had about 300 posts on a variety of subjects: Jabs, WEF, Gates, VAERS, Faith-based content, 2A, food supply, Agenda 2030, Biden’s dark winter, Klaus Schwab, the WHO treaty, pro-life issues … & the list goes on!
PodBean did the same thing last fall – wiped my account of great interviews just as we passed 1M downloads in 8 months. Honestly – other people that now have >25M+ downloads on Podbean were untouched.
So much for Truth Social and free speech.
“When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.” #TruthSocial#FreeSpeech#Podbean
Sherry Tenpenny, Gab Social, June 7, 2022
As I said, by the time I got on Truth Social to confirm, a few hours later, Dr. Tenpenny’s account had already been restored.
Very happy that you’re back – otherwise I would have left this place as not having free speech.
I’m a scientist who agrees with much of what you write, but I disagree on some things. That is small potatoes. Scientists disagree.
Here’s a gift argument.
IF a virus is created as part of bioweapons research, how can a vaccine for it NOT also be a bioweapon? It must be. Current vaccines are ALWAYS a limited case of the disease itself.
C19+vax has a “fait accompli” military strategy.
My point there is that EVEN if one throws out the very likely agenda of vaccines as a population control mechanism (contraceptive and sterilizing vaccines being a well-known area of modern science), and even if we throw out doctrines of Chinese “total warfare” and China’s deep involvement in the mRNA vaccines (China is now trusted to run ALL of Pfizer’s clinical trials), we are still left with the reality that vaccines for a disease which is “possibly to likely” a gain-of-function bioweapon or bioweapon test, simply cannot ever lose that nature.
Vaccines are a devil’s deal with SOME weakened form of a disease. DEAL WITH IT.
They’re a damn bioweapon. Dialed down, but clearly not enough yet.
I just checked – Dr. Tenpenny is still back on Truth Social, and was posting last night (Friday, June 10, 2022).
Here is my perspective on this.
Dr. Tenpenny is labeled by the leftists as one of the “Dirty Dozen” – top spreaders of “disinformation” about vaccines.
In my personal opinion, yes, she does spread disinformation, but she also spreads valuable information that the mainstream media suppresses. And EVEN her “disinformation” often has either grains of suppressed TRUTH in it – OR (and this is very important) allows me to see how our intelligence agencies SET HER (and us) UP with the disinformation, as ILLEGAL ACTS OF DISCREDITATION against American citizens.
More on that in a moment.
Do you, patriots, want to suppress information about the crimes of the left? I don’t think so.
Dr. Tenpenny and her friends were maliciously set up with phony “information” about several things, which I have covered on this blog.
vaccine magnetism
suramin (a synthetic drug) in pine needles and star anise
pine needle tea (a natural abortifacient) as a ‘cure’ for the obviously abortifacient coronavirus vaccines
The first was a rather cunning viral discreditation of vaccine critics. I did my own experiments to prove that this was essentially a parlor trick using skin oils, surface tension, and psychology, designed to fool people into believing that magnets are sticking to injection sites.
The second was a sadly effective demonstration of the idea that our side often doesn’t fact check the most basic drug information.
The third was an amazingly cynical way to not only get Dr. Tenpenny and her colleagues to destroy their own reputations by advocating a known abortifacient to people fearful of abortion, but to get those very same abortion opponents to self-abort.
Seriously, the people who come up with that kind of deception are truly evil.
Wherein we examine, in something like “MythBusters” style, the dubious “Magnet Challenge”, without relying (too much) on the anti-scientific crutch of scientific authority First, a confession. The main reason I am attracted to these videos of people sticking magnets to the COVID vaccination injection sites on their shoulders, is that I love to watch normal …
Wherein we look at how the COVID scammers are now using “magnetic” disinformation to try to escape justice for REAL abuse of liposome biotechnology to achieve [most likely contraceptive] vaccine persistence and migration. TL;DR – after mRNA vaccine persistence and anatomical migration were revealed in leaked Pfizer data, explaining “shedding” via persistent liposomes, the COVID …
This is for the historical record. I hope that this analysis gets to the “dissident scientists” involved, but even if it never does, future historians will get a powerful look at what I call “Fake Science” – the establishment’s phony, deceptive and controlled scientific complex – and how infiltration, control, and discreditation of dissident populist …
If you read these articles, knowing what we now know from the Pfizer documents, then it’s very clear that Pfizer was quite vulnerable on several points about their mRNA COVID vaccine.
Feeding discred to their enemies? Totally believable. I actually have PERSONAL experience with such discreditation, because it’s a technique used WITHIN the pharmaceutical industry in their internal turf wars. Absolutely unsurprising that they might use this on their enemies outside.
But let’s just take that a little bit bigger.
Truth Social clearly made the right move by quickly reinstating Sherri Tenpenny. And not just on freedom of speech grounds. As I told Dr. Tenpenny, any vaccine that is designed to invoke a limited case of a bioweaponized disease is, in fact, a limited case of that bioweapon. What she was saying wasn’t even WRONG, much less disinformation.
Wait for her to advocate pine needle tea for containing suramin. THAT IS WRONG. And that error is STILL part of free speech, which can not only correct us, but which can sometimes lead us to CRIMES that need to be brought to the enemy’s doorstep.
Part of being unafraid of TRUTH, is being unafraid of ERROR.
However, don’t think for a second that the problem is over. Dr. Tenpenny and many other TRUTH WARRIORS are going to pick up disinformation and run with it – ESPECIALLY when our own intelligence agencies craft stuff designed for them, using our tax dollars. And that is to say nothing of Russian, Ukrainian, and Chinese disinformation, crafted for our side to pick up.
Just look at THE HOAX. Indeed, THAT is the “big end” of disinformation.
NOPE. Never sweep disinformation under the rug. HIGHLIGHT IT, so that we can dig into it, and then we can FIND THE TRUTH.
Maybe Truth Social can pioneer new ways to deal with disinformation without denigrating those we are seeking to enlighten.
Day two of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland started off on a concerning note.
Some of the chief architects of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores met during a session called “Global ESG for Global Resilience,” and have clearly decided to double down on their objective for a new global economic order that transcends national borders and replaces free-market capitalism.
Destroying free-market capitalism in favor of a new “stakeholder” model, in which global elites hold all the power, has been their objective for years. A single ESG system gets them much closer to this goal, and will be significantly more effective at eroding national sovereignty, circumventing democratic processes, coercing companies into compliance, and ultimately restricting individual choice.
Early in the session, Hong Kong Stock Exchange Chairman Laura Cha got right to the point. She revealed, “To make ESG disclosures meaningful, we need to have a harmonized standard… It would be very good in terms of the work that the ISSB (the International Sustainability Standards Board) is doing to bring about standardized global measures.”
Don’t look at me to go “nervous Nellie” on this – or to ignore it.
DO NOT think for a second that we are going alarmist, Eeyore, despondent, or defeatist on this. OH NO.
We’re going to beat the SHIT out of ESG, and every WOKE will go BROKE as they cry over their own self-destruction.
We have SLAIN the CRT dragon, to the point that “they” of all stripes are already crying over that little dying monster.
WE *WILL* defeat ESG.
And we will have a good time doing it.
We already have a great head start on this.
ANDREW TORBA was way ahead on this stuff with his “parallel economy” thinking. His contention is that our best fight is to simply REPLACE the dying, suicidal, elite-controlled, leftard economy.
EMERALD ROBINSON was also way ahead on the solution, with her thinking that RELIGION / CULTURE / POLITICS are LINKED IN A STREAM, and that religion is upstream of all the “issues” of contention.
Combining these two ideas leads straight to a TRANSFORMATION of ESG into RCF, and RCF is a PARALLEL way for us to judge, criticize, reject, and not be part of THEIR religious, cultural, political, and economic suicide.
Let me explain.
Environmental —> Religious
We all know that “climate change” (formerly “global warming”) is part of the left’s insane, misdirected, knee-jerk, corrupt, herd-like, virtue-signal-filled version of environmentalism, which largely serves to enrich virtue-signaling elites, destroy America and develop China. Every “mistake” that leftist environmentalism makes (see masks in the ocean, dead eagles, coal plants in China) is excused, as it answers to nobody while ACTUALLY destroying the environment through insane policies which cause unplanned consequences in unpredictable places. Compliant companies, governments, and even individuals do things that make no sense, and push compliant science to say it knows things for certain, when it does NOT know them, largely for “woke cartel” profiteering.
This is where the right to debate man’s place in this universe has been stripped away from the people themselves, and given to self-serving elites, via their lapdog “experts” who are willing to embrace financially predetermined policies.
ESG may seem that it only allows “them” (globalist elites) to do what they have already been doing for years, but the trick is that it allows them to do it PUBLICLY and without the slightest guilt. It gives shocking legitimacy to political, cultural and religious discrimination in finance.
Environmentalism as practiced “religiously” by the left, is basically a way to allow an anti-human religion to take hold and control humanity, which is deemed “environmentally sinful”.
Environmentalism, by the left’s standards, IS the secular left’s religion.
To counter it, we need to remember what the Boy Scouts always thought was important – RELIGION. Real religion. Real, time-tested, CONSERVED, religion.
To COUNTER the left, we need to evaluate companies, governments, organizations, and even individuals of the left on their RELIGIOUS values, actions, and record.
Will there be screaming?
YES. And it will be music to our ears.
One of the great advantages of going full-bore to RELIGION in “rating” the left in opposition to “environmental”, is that it will not only spotlight the horrible record of woke Christianity and Judaism – it will directly attack Hollywood and the woke, mass-shooter-producing gaming industry with the very thing they THOUGHT they had run out of town in the 1970s – the moral guidance of the Catholic Church and Orthodox Judaism. By having a certain amount of moral control over movies, “decency standards” were able to rein in some of Hollywood’s worst behavior. Sadly, the Soviet Union and cultural Marxists in the United States destroyed any morality control in Hollywood, by MOCKING decency controls.
Too bad for them. We bring it back under OUR CONTROL this time.
Our TRUE religion, applied as ratings, will leave their weak and worthless environmental religion where it belongs – in the dustbin of history.
Social —> Cultural
When the leftists and the globalists say “social”, it really means SOCIALIST. This is where ESG basically says “we will discriminate based on politics”.
This is absolute bullshit. To counter it, we flip THEIR word for our word – the one used over and over by Steve Bannon as being “upstream of politics”. That word is CULTURAL.
CULTURAL includes both the “social” and the “individual”, because a good and decent culture can and should RESPECT the individual as a critical part of building a healthy society.
This one is pretty easy, and VERY powerful. This is where we FIGHT BACK against cultural Marxism. If it is detrimental to our CULTURE, our SOCIETY, our NATION, and our PEOPLE, including INDIVIDUALS regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, etc., then it is CULTURALLY NEGATIVE.
That doesn’t mean that when “groups” step out of line, culturally, they get a pass.
Black is fine. BLACK LIVES MATTER RIOTING and RACE-HOAXING are culturally rotten.
Jewish is fine. ANTI-CHRISTIAN machinations (CRT, ESG, SEL, hoaxes) are culturally rotten.
White is fine. Actual, real, WHITE SUPREMACY and NAZISM are culturally rotten.
See? This is easy. It’s like falling off a log.
Trump and MAGA do “high cultural rating” in their SLEEP.
Is “culture-rating” going to make the radical left and the globalists cry? Get ready for tasty, salty, liberal tears on globalist ice.
Governance —> Freedom
This is a DIRECT counterattack on the idea that “governance” (more like meddling) is what is needed.
Where THEY will rank things low on “governance”, WE will rank highly on FREEDOM.
This allows us to ENCOURAGE FREEDOM in every place where the left claims somebody has a low governance score.
We will MOCK the left’s ESG when we counter it – eventually allowing low ESG scores to be a BADGE OF HONOR – backed up by high RCF scores.
And we can grow the idea of “freedom” scoring well beyond their “governance” boundaries, because YEAH, WE’RE FREE TO DO IT.
See how great it is to NOT be constrained by their thinking, by merely DEFENDING?
Going on OFFENSE in COUNTERATTACK has its advantages.
We will come up with scoring that makes the conniving, scheming, globalist SCUM have a BAD DAY EVERY DAY.
TL;DR –
THEY want to politicize finance?
WE will do it even better, even bigger, and when we do…..
It’s getting ridiculous, how these Biden scandals NOT ONLY involve the same corrupt forces over and over and over again, but EVEN MORE how they manage to “hook up” more and more of the same corrupt players in each new scandal. It’s like they’re turning into “all star cast” events.
Ridiculous!
The reason I became outraged enough to do this post, is that I could literally SEE how Twitter managed to pull off the SPIKING of the latest chapter in this story, by kicking investigative reporter Patrick Howley off Twitter right before the new “Chinese money” angle of this story – HIS STORY – broke.
Notice how they set it up using the Fake News Media – just like when they set up Trump.
No, I have a much better idea of how and why they took down Howley – as he was about to blow the doors open on what I’m about to tell you.
Howley’s reporting on the controversial Biden Center at University of Pennsylvania is actually a great story, which began back in February, but it has a lot of moving parts, and deserves some careful analysis, because I suspect it goes MUCH, MUCH deeper than what Howley found, even adding his recent China stuff that Twitter successfully blocked.
My extension of his work even brings in stuff from Robert Malone, who is just as shocked about the corrupting influence of the World Economic Forum on SCIENCE as I am. Malone said we need to find the tentacles of WEF, and that is exactly what I’m doing here. In fact, we have WEF’s and China’s tentacle prints all over this sucker.
Indeed, I would almost go so far as to describe the Biden Center at University of Pennsylvania as “Biden’s version of the Clinton Foundation”.
No wonder Mayorkas and “Big Sis” are forced to cover for the guy.
You starting to see why this is important?
So what I’m going to do is to present the proper links to Patrick Howley’s stuff, but then elaborate it with my own CONTEXT about the suppression of his story, and how that leads DIRECTLY to today’s headlines.
This is almost EXACTLY like what happened with the New York Post story about the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell”. Twitter deleted that breaking news tweet, and even suspended the account, to protect the Obama-Biden regime from that story.
Twitter acted like a NANNY and said “NO – you people can’t talk about this.” And what happened? We “elected” – with a lot of cheating – a damned TRAITOR – more corrupt than any president in MY lifetime – who seems intent on starting a world war, after he destroys our economy.
TWITTER’S.
ACTIONS.
HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
Well, I’m sick of it. So I’m talking BACK to this suppression, and I’m going to spread the word on this rather complex little scandal which deserves much more sunlight than I, personally, can give it.
BUSTED: UPenn, Sponsor of Biden’s Think Tank, Profits From Vaccines And Had Staff Shakeup Over Foreign Money Including ‘CHINA’ Money. I am on the Stew Peters Show TODAY @RealStewPeters and I am breaking it first on Gab. LET’S GO!!!!
I’m going to go through this carefully, because it’s the DETAILS that show both the OUTRAGEOUS and the HEROIC.
Howley’s early reporting on this stuff was back in February, when he uncovered most of the Pfizer / UPenn / Biden Center / FactCheck.org corruption. That stuff is actually pretty shocking, and most people haven’t heard about it.
What’s happening now, is that Howley apparently got some additional tips from University staff who were “let go” when there were questions about Chinese money coming into the university, and where it might be going.
Hey, I’ve got questions, too.
We could shrug our shoulders and say “OH, WELL, IT’S JUST ONE MORE BIDEN SCANDAL”, or even worse “OH, WELL, IT’S JUST ONE MORE BIDEN SCANDAL BEING COVERED UP”, but NO – not this time. We’re gonna give this the exposure it deserves.
The FAKE NEWS won’t cover it, but WE WILL. And we’ll cover the cover-up.
First things first, you will notice at the top of that Gab post, that MAGA hottie Lauren Witzke is reposting this ON GAB.
That is THIS WOMAN.
Gotta love this lady. She is very smart, an incredible fighter, utterly unafraid of the PC crowd, and yes – she is not exactly hard to look at.
But why is she retweeting this on GAB and not TWITTER?
“oH, tHaT’S WHy!”
Hilarious!
I love the little “Don’t miss what’s happening” at the end. Twitter literally makes us MISS what’s happening, and then has the CHUTZPAH to say “Don’t miss what’s happening”.
What a bunch of scumbags.
This is just typical communist or Nazi hypocrisy, glorifying themselves in the humiliation of their victims. Twitter reminds me of the SS officers who forced black American POWs to crawl on hands and knees and rode on them like animals. Or the young ChiCom TOAD who took over my old employer, and LECTURED the American employees whose jobs he was about to steal, how this was a great victory and partnership for us.
That’s the kind of mentality that Twitter has engendered in the people who work there. Think about it. Twitter suppresses the people we go looking for, and then says “Don’t miss those people! Come to Twitter!”
You EVIL fuckers.
It’s just galling as all hell. Twitter DESERVES to be taken over by Elon Musk.
THEY DESERVE IT.
And why is Howley “breaking” this latest segment of the story on GAB and not his usual platform – TWITTER?
Well, as we will hear later, Howley was suspended on Twitter one day before the latest update on the story broke. And here’s the boy who carried the knife for the Biden administration.
All they can do now, to cover up their crime, is throw the chaff of “racism” and the countermeasures of “white supremacy”.
HOW CONVENIENT. But why?
Well, when you get inside this story, you will hear all kinds of important names. There’s a secretary of state, who is connected to a university, and a presidential center at that university.
There’s an ambassador, who was the university president, until made ambassador by a nation’s president, who happens to be the same president with the presidential center at the university.
There’s a drug company, deeply related to this university and its president, and to the nation’s president, and which is now almost its own branch of government, which makes payments to the university, where much of the technology of a certain vaccine was developed, provided that the vaccine is repeatedly approved by agencies under control of the national president, and is otherwise “recommended” or “required” into increased usage (they use the word “milestones”) by everybody else.
There is a very RACIST communist country, which shockingly did ALL the clinical trials for the drug company, including the vaccine, sending money to the university in exchange for admitting students OF that race and FROM that country – and which money is free to flow to a certain center connected to the president who appointed the ambassador.
And THOSE students from THAT racist communist country are known as “princelings”, being the children of the elite communist leadership of the country.
So there are a lot of important people connected to this story, and SOMEHOW their likely concerns were addressed by Twitter taking down the pesky reporter one day before his story broke.
In my opinion, it is very likely that our government was SPYING on Mister Howley, and was in communication with Twitter, ready to “prevent disinformation”.
In other words, the lying, shady mechanism that will be formalized under “Big Sis”, a.k.a. Nina Jankowicz, is ALREADY working, to some extent, and the ACTUAL result of “Big Sis” and her “Disinformation Governance Board” will be to ORDER social media platforms not to allow certain things to be posted.
In fact, it would not surprise me if Nina Jankowicz herself was ALREADY involved in this little episode. You see – that is a common tactic of the communists – to “propose” what they’re already doing – and which they know they can successfully and stealthily deploy.
Maybe somebody should ask her, although I doubt that she will tell us the truth.
SO – now that I’ve hinted at the full breadth of this story, let’s look at the exact details.
Let’s go from the Gab post to the latest National File article.
[The following is a snippet of the beginning of the article.]
University of Pennsylvania financial documents obtained by NATIONAL FILE show that the UPenn fund that bankrolls Joe Biden’s think tank the Penn Biden Center makes money in “milestone payments” from the sale of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines and from FDA approvals of the injections. The University of Pennsylvania, which paid Joe Biden prior to his presidential run, was accepting big money from donors apparently to carve out spaces for foreign students at UPenn including from Communist China, and NATIONAL FILE can confirm that internal controversy and a staff shakeup occurred when staff questioned how international funds were being spent. With Joe Biden able to return to the Penn Biden Center after his presidency, Biden puts himself in a position to personally profit from the vaccines he is pushing. Pfizer-BioNTech is trying to get a new authorization for a child booster for 5 to 11 year olds.
Under the watch of UPenn president Amy Gutmann, massive amounts of money have flowed into the university’s funds apparently to import students from around the world including from Communist China and the “People’s Republic of China” with administrator notes including “MAKE SURE STUDENT IS FROM CHINA…” Amy Gutmann, the UPenn president who oversaw the establishment of Joe Biden’s think tank the Penn Biden Center in 2018, is now Biden’s Ambassador to Germany. There were arguments in the UPenn administration about where the Chinese-oriented money and other foreign money was going. Some insiders questioned how funds for international students were being managed without transparency, and the arguments led to a staff overhaul. The controversy stemmed from funds set aside for international students.
The Penn Biden Center is housed on the UPenn campus and in Washington, D.C. pulling funds directly from the general funds of the University of Pennsylvania, and Joe Biden or his surrogates can return to the Penn Biden Center after his presidency. Joe Biden’s think tank was previously managed by his current Secretary of State Tony Blinken. One donation specified “$25k each” in payment to UPenn in exchange for “Students from the People’s Republic of China admitted…”
Documents obtained by NATIONAL FILE show that the University of Pennsylvania, which hosts and funds Joe Biden’s think tank called the Penn Biden Center, directly profits from the sale of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Coronavirus vaccines. The University gets more money if more vaccines are sold. The University of Pennsylvania also gets “milestone payments” when the Biden administration’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves a Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which represents a massive conflict of interest for Biden. BioNTech pays the University of Pennsylvania Board of Trustees directly, and the university is protected from civil liability if people try to sue for “bodily injury” or “death” caused by BioNTech vaccines.
BioNTech signed a licensing agreement in 2018 with the University of Pennsylvania, which directly funds the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. Even though Coronavirus had not yet leaked out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology when the deal was made, the 2018 agreement ensured massive payments for the University of Pennsylvania if its technology ended up getting used in new mRNA-based vaccines. Well, UPenn’s technology did end up getting used in the mRNA-based Coronavirus vaccine produced by Pfizer and BioNTech, and the deal has led to massive revenue for the university. Joe Biden, who was working for the University of Pennsylvania when the deal was made, received more than $900,000 from the University of Pennsylvania in the two years before he ran for president in this past election.
The University of Pennsylvania also houses the pro-vaccine website FactCheck.org. University of Pennsylvania president Amy Gutmann is now Biden’s nominee for Ambassador to Germany. The Biden administration’s FDA has speedily approved or authorized Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines including for children — all while the Penn Biden Center’s parent university enjoys massive profits from vaccine sales and FDA approval. And the Pfizer-connected FDA even knew about numerous adverse events for children related to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, but allowed children to be injected with it anyway. Now, as the FDA considers emergency use authorization for a Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children as young as six months old, the direct financial relationship between these vaccines and Joe Biden’s think tank must be exposed.
There are three more big sections of well-documented and sourced reporting I have not included above.
University of Pennsylvania Profits From Pfizer-BioNTech And Moderna Vaccines
Joe Biden’s Penn Biden Center is hosted and reportedly funded by the University of Pennsylvania
UPenn Hosts The Pro-Vaccine Website FactCheck.Org
I think the last one is particularly relevant to Ms. Jankowicz. Do you think that this “disinformation expert” lady who LIED about the Biden laptop might have FactCheck.Org on speed dial?
I really urge you to get in there and read that last section, because the FUNDING of FactCheck.org is really ugly, high-level, evil stuff. It’s INCESTUOUS. This is the REGIME ELITE protecting itself.
This is WHY people go along with the lies – because there’s TOO MUCH MONEY AND POWER involved. Nobody even thinks about valuing THE TRUTH above the money and power.
NOW – I think it’s very important to look at the lady ambassador, who was president of that university, deeply related to all the vaccine development, tied to the profits thereof, and nominally in charge of FactCheck.org – Amy Gutmann. In my opinion, she is key, just like Michael Sussmann is key to the Russia hoax. It is these hidden, high-position players who orchestrate the corruption. Just imagine what she is going to be able to do in Germany, as the American Bolshevik Elite now go to war against Russia FROM Europe, through Germany and Ukraine, trying to bring back the neoliberal version of Bolshevism everywhere on this planet.
This woman is not a physical or biological scientist. Although she entered college as a math major, she switched to political science, and all three of her degrees are in that subject. Her biography is very well worth reading.
This section, from Wikipedia, includes key points (my emphasis).
In 2009, Barack Obama appointed Gutmann chair of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, and reappointed her in early 2012, a position she held through 2016.[64][65] The Bioethics Commission issued 10 reports[66] on a variety of issues including protections for adult and pediatric participants in medical research, and the ethics of genomics and neuroscience.[67] The Commission’s meetings were open to the public and streamed live—and all its recommendations to the President were unanimous.[68][69][70] Its capstone report, Bioethics for Every Generation, focused on the mission of bioethics commissions in advancing democratic deliberation and bioethics education.
Recapping, what are in my opinion the important involvements.
chairman of Obama’s commission on bioethics
national security advisor to the FBI on academic (university) issues
member of commission on trust, media, and democracy
on the board of the Vanguard group
on the board of the globalist Berggruen Institute (transhumanism issues)
member of WEF and particularly its forum GULF (university leaders)
There is a MIND-BLOWING amount of information about her WEF involvement.
I’m not going to give links for them to cover up this stuff – just use search engines. It’s everywhere. The earlier pictures are also from WEF gatherings.
Now that we’ve added WEF to the picture, I think the details are going to fill in themselves. THIS is exactly what KlauSS SSchwab was talking about.
I think it’s pretty obvious that Patrick Howley was on a VERY hot story, and “the powers that be” simply slowed down the discovery process by hindering it out of the gate.
Finally, let me show you the sad reality of what Howley was forced to do, to try to get SOME exposure – ANY exposure – to this horrifying story of greed, money, and “shabby ethics in the name of ethics”.
Howley was forced to take this story to Stew Peters, who is a great guy, but nowhere close to the mainstream. The mainstream media writes off Stew without a thought, whereas a guy like Tucker can get at least SOME mainstream eyeballs on his material. SO – what is very likely a scandal every bit as big as the Biden laptop – but a LOT less “sexy” – was forced to go on the “cobra water” circuit, which is not exactly high-credibility.
Just watch. Listen for the “kicked off Twitter” part in particular.
I think Stew makes a very good point, even though gently. Nobody is going to be arrested. The people who order arrests are RUNNING THE SHOW. They’re in charge. Nobody is going to use the corrupt FBI to arrest their own corrupt bosses.
But that’s not the point here.
Our point is to make the WHOLE WORLD realize that we are ruled by a bunch of scumbags.
SO – just like the “Argentinian generals” – after their last failed war – when they go down – when they finally go down – there will be NOBODY on their side, except themselves.
And there are a lot more of us, than there are of them.
Until then, patience.
It would be nice if this story got a deeper look. At the very least, I think we may have found a key point of intersection between the WEFFEN SS, China, Pfizer, Biden, Mayorkas and Big Sis, and their preparation for the COVID SCAM.
There could really be another FLORIDA in the GOP column.
Note that I did NOT say “another DeSantis”. Jim Renacci has suggested that his administration would be a lot LIKE the DeSantis administration in Florida but he’s actually rather loath to compare himself directly to Ron DeSantis, or to any other Republican governor.
But when he does compare, he makes no bones about it.
No lockdowns, no gun control, and no CRT – Ohio needs a governor like Ron DeSantis. pic.twitter.com/CVA4WdYoTS
Renacci claims to have STUDIED DeSantis, just like he used to study his business competitors, in order to learn how they succeeded. Renacci says that DeSantis has a SYSTEM (which I will not repeat for enemy ears) that pipelines popular legislation to his desk very rapidly. Renacci is fully prepared to begin doing the same thing for Ohio in 2023, because he believes that conditions to create a similar system will be ideal after the 2022 election.
Renacci actually has a PLAN for Ohio – what he can accomplish in 4-8 years, and what he cannot. For example, Renacci figures that he cannot remove the state income tax during his tenure, but that he can prepare the state for a complete change in the tax system to happen AFTER his administration.
And all the stuff that we DO want right away, to push back against BRANDON and his insane, treacherous, WEF-and-China puppet administration? Renacci would begin signing bills as soon as he could get them across his desk.
Fox News, of course, as controlled FAKE NEWS opposition, is trying to downplay the possibility of Renacci winning.
Note that Fox is pegging Joe Blystone (the underdog, outsider, “Farmer Joe” candidate) with the same very respectable 20% segment as the Harris poll, but is dropping the much more realistic Renacci candidacy BELOW that level – which makes no sense. IMO there was a 20% transfer from Renacci to DeWine here, but I’m not sure how that artifact was pulled off.
So exactly how “DeSantis” would a Renacci administration actually be?
IMO, it would be as Republican as the House of the Ohio Legislature, which just gave DeWine a constitutional carry bill that he could not afford to “not sign”. That bill becomes law this summer.
That means Renacci would have legislative backing for moves like this.
It means getting RID of the critical race theory that DeWine’s appointees supported and defended to the very last liberal (yes, I was SHOCKED by that).
Whether it's called "Critical Race Theory" or "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion," I will kick leftist propaganda out of our public schools.
Renacci has studied Mike DeWine, too. Renacci says that DeWine runs like a Republican for the primary, moves left for the general, and then TRIES to govern like a Democrat.
And Renacci’s not wrong about that.
Mike DeWine could have protected women's sports in Ohio last summer – he chose NOT to. https://t.co/0SeNTAiHZa
Mike DeWine’s a nice guy, but in my opinion he’s not committed to freedom. He signed the constitutional carry bill because he HAD to do it to win the primary – not because it was the right thing to do. DeWine called constitutional carry a “tough decision”. Not tough at all, says Renacci.
In my opinion, the only thing really standing in the way of Renacci is the media and lovable Joe Blystone, who the media plays up while ignoring Renacci. The media does this in order to keep Joe in the limelight and in viable “underdog” status, sapping votes from the more realistic and left-threatening competitor – Jim Renacci. You can tell – 20% of the vote is rather surprising for a third-party candidate. THAT is the power of the media, churning for Joe Blystone with “bad press”.
Will the media plan succeed? Will they “keep us divided” so that a RINO can slip through, yet again, to force all of Ohio to suffer a minority ideology that nobody wants?
Or will Renacci bring that Sweet Florida magic to Sweet Ohio?
You can bet a bushel of buckeyes, I will do my best to help freedom happen!
In my opinion, everybody needs to watch this video, to understand the viral nature of what is then easily seen as the trans identity error, and how it spreads.
This is a complex subject, but at its foundation is (in my opinion) a very simple, almost child-like error – that a “desired non-self” can be obtained against the will of the universe by changing the self into that non-self. You will see how internet image memes were consciously used to promote and spread this error.
The internet has promoted this kind of immature thinking in many ways, as a byproduct of both the viral-enhancing and spiritual-enabling nature of the internet. At the same time that the internet allows us to reach every human mind, in principle, it also allows new kinds of error to flow and to grow. The spiritual nature of the internet, for good and bad, is REAL.
For every Duchess meme, spreading the Good News which allows us to appreciate what we have and what we will have, there are antithetical memes and meme-spreaders who seek to make us envy the very objects of our desire, and then to attempt to falsely become those things.
Listen carefully to understand that Facebook is seeking to create a future where this kind of error is even more possible, more likely, and more difficult to avoid. Instead of becoming stronger, spiritually, to contain actual error, Facebook, under election criminal Mark Zuckerberg, creates a new world of even more error, which can deceive even more strongly.
This young lady is one of the most articulate and insightful people I’ve ever heard. Clearly she would have been a “win” for the other side. As it is now, she exposes the trans error at levels I never expected.
Please watch the entire interview, and leave your comments and thoughts below.
Thank you!

PS – if this video disappears, look for it on Michael Knowles’ channel on Rumble:
In the fog of war, as I learned from the Balkans, the first side that the sheep are told to pick is usually the wrong side, which is not to say that the other side is great – it’s just less of an immediate danger. We in the Fakely Democratic West have learned the hard way that the phony Deep State narrative is usually a lie – it just takes some precious time to unravel it.
If you go back and check my postings on both this site, and at The Conservative Treehouse, you will see that for YEARS I have likened the eternal Russia-Ukraine love-hate marriage to an outlaw biker and drug dealer (Russia) with his floozy, junkie, common-law wife (Ukraine), who are constantly fighting and making up, and perpetually trying to involve everybody else in their fight, while scamming them ALL at the same time.
So when the mini-skirt beayatch Ukie comes to your door, BEGGING for help, fingers all grabby-grabby for those “my what strong biceps you have”, the smart play is to do whatever it takes to get her out of your life as QUICKLY and CLEANLY and PERMANENTLY as possible.
When her big biker boy Russ has an invitation and then a deal that seems too good to be true, hold that thought, because it’s not only too good to be true – it will put YOU in jail and HIM selling your house. The SMART play is to get out of whatever is coming NOW, because you likely WON’T be able to get out of whatever is coming NEXT.
Don’t call me “pro-Russian” just because I think that treating Russia without hypocrisy is the right thing to do. If WE have any right to the Monroe Doctrine, then so does Russia. That doesn’t mean I trust “Russ” any more than “Ukie”, or that “Russ” picked the smartest, best, or most inspired option here. I just trust GTFO-ing their world of hurt ASAP, and doing so on PRINCIPLES is usually a move that is automatically smarter than we are, BECAUSE GOD.
After seeing the results of NATObama’s immoral, haughty, and ill-advised over-expansion folly – daring to stupidly and corruptly push NATO into even-more-corrupt Ukraine, using his favorite bag-man, Joe Biden, and Joe’s stupid son, it is absolutely clear that we have corrupt but very clever geopolitical idiots behind this mess, working for the election-stealing, virus-releasing, globalist scum who got 1000 feet beyond the tips off their skis with their idiotic “Great Reset”.
Now. I could sit here and appeal to your logic all day, and it might wake you up, but I have a special treat that will wake you up faster.
Begin by questioning Ukie’s request for a sleep-over. This will help.
Be sure to watch the SECOND video. That’s the one you need most of all to WTFU.
You really want me to get in bed with these people, Adolph? FUCK YOU.
PS – Long before this crap, I was always astonished that the Ukrainians embraced the Nazis so fervently. The idea of Jazis like Soros and Schwab never even dawned on me.
Now I look back and just see how much of a dupe and a sheep I was. Evil is far more varied and inventive than what we were tricked into believing.
Are these videos disinformation? Are they propaganda? I don’t care. You need to embrace them to begin questioning. Right or wrong, don’t be afraid of the TRUTH that will come.
By the end of this, I’m betting you will agree with my little analogy.
I’m just asking. I want YOUR opinions. I don’t have an opinion yet.
Like the case of the many different COVID vaccines, this is complicated – possibly even MORE complicated, if some of the vaccines are substantially “safe”. There are many different vaccines, seemingly for different target age groups.
Some are produced by Pfizer, or by companies now owned by Pfizer.
Not a lot of TRUST there, I must admit.
Here are some “mainstream” references to get people started:
If Republicans don’t rein in DHS now, they will be unable to stop what’s coming – to your state, your city, and your county
TL;DR – If you know how to read the Mayorkas document (because it IS in fact his document), then you will understand that the purpose of the report is to purge non-RINO Republicans and MAGA Democrats from law enforcement – FIRST from DHS, and then from all branches of state, federal, and local government, as well as private contractors, which may take federal dollars or “partner” in any way with DHS.
INTRODUCTION
It is tempting to believe that “these people are stupid”, but in my opinion, that is a tragic mistake, and it is a good part of why everything is going to hell right now.
Never assume that your enemy is not also reading Sun Tzu, and perhaps excelling as a student.
The ChiComs have used “lulling” as a technique from the very beginning. I saw it up close, when I worked in a place I call “shallow state”. The CCP’s and PLA’s lieutenants took us over, with the aid of American Bolsheviks and globalists. They’re ALL very good at what they do.
Trust me – when a ChiCom “assures you” of anything positive about yourself or your side, what he or she is doing is solidifying your position for their next move. They are making sure you stay exactly where you are, so that you don’t mess up their plans to BEAT YOUR ASS.
American communists work the same way.
Alejandro Majorkas plays the bald idiot spectacularly, but he is not an idiot, and neither is Barack Obama, nor are any of the players between THEM and “Mr. Global”, whoever (s)he is.
Don’t think that “Q” is stupid for saying they’re stupid, either. It’s a complicated business.
“Think mirror corollary.”
Their Plan
Whether or not you believe there is some kind of “plan” by the “white hats” for “devolution”, I can tell you this.
Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security installed by Barack Obama and “Big Sister” Janet Napolitano, has a plan to get ahead of devolution, and YOU are paying for it.
Gateway Pundit has the story – but they don’t have all of it. They did NOT read the fine print.
This is not just bluster.
This is not just for the bureaucrats at DHS.
This is not just for “we the little people” going to Trump rallies.
This is how they are going to PURGE state and local government and law enforcement of MAGA Republicans, moderate Democrats, and anybody else who SPEAKS THE TRUTH.
This is the “Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and Mitt Romney support policy”, but it goes far beyond the federal government.
This is an attack on RED states, RED counties, RED cities, and even BLUE moderates who are not willing to toe the communist line.
So how does it work? For that, we look at the document.
We will be looking CLOSELY at two words – INSIDER and CONTRACTOR. These words lead us to what Mayorkas is really up to.
Now, before we get started, I have to tell you how such documents work under cryptocommunist bureaucracy.
When the communists took over my old employer, which I call “shallow state”, their Bolshevik and globalist puppets (who were installed to work around the compromised and paralyzed normals) had to tamp down all “upward flow” of information – and particularly the idea that this information should result in any unapproved action. All action had to be approved TOP-DOWN, and in general, it needed to actually ORIGINATE top-down.
Once that was accomplished, the commies and their go-alongers restored what LOOKED like upward flow, but was actually a kind of FAKE upward flow.
Off the books, and off the record, lower-level commie-compliant managers were TOLD FROM ABOVE exactly what they were to request, suggest or propose, perhaps doing so in their own words. No matter what, that request, proposal or suggestion was then “approved”.
Anything that did not arise in such a fashion was “studied” but not approved. On rare occasions, when it suited management’s purposes, some such proposals WERE approved after long study, but only as SHAMS and COVER processes, designed to deceive and hide. Credit for the stolen, killed, and skin-suited project would then be given to an apparatchik in need of a new cap feather. Nothing good would result from these projects.
This is EXACTLY what we have here. Mayorkas was GIVEN exactly what he wanted and needed, albeit with some cover language by the working group to suggest independence. One way you can see that smoke signal is in the larger message (I’m paraphrasing) that:
“We found almost no problem at all, BUT HERE ARE 15 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT SOUND LIKE WE DID FIND A BIG PROBLEM.”
We KNOW that the millions of horrified and pissed-off LAW-ABIDING patriots are not “domestic violent extremists”. We know that people like us are not dangerous. We know that protected leftist violent groups like ANTIFA and BLM are the actual “domestic violent extremists”, and that this is an Orwellian reversal.
But THAT is all cover.
That is a DISTRACTION.
What is REALLY going on here is something underneath the “outrage” of calling Americans like us “domestic violent extremists”, or even just “potential domestic violent extremists”.
This image is social programming from some Hollywood toxin called “The Purge”. This “purge” is actually antithetical to the quiet, silent, stealthy, Stalinist, DHS-planned “purge” I am talking about, but in an Orwellian and Hegelian way, it is used to create enough FEAR in the minds of average Americans, that they go along with the communist plan to purge patriotic Americans from Government.
Goebbels would be proud.
This is psychological SLANDER. And yet, at the very same time, it’s a PART of this.
JFK understood exactly what the other side is doing. This is what the Democrat communists do by saying we cannot speak the truth about the deliberately broken election system.
They give us one apparent exit – violence – and dare us to go through it.
They are making it impossible for us to object peacefully, while they stand ready to turn our own government upon us if we even hint at trying anything else.
Antifa? No problem. They’re OWNED and PROTECTED by DHS and FBI.
Americans? Problem. We’re OPPOSED and SLANDERED by DHS and FBI.
OK – I’ve stalled long enough. I did have a reason – a very good reason.
I wanted you to appreciate the enemy’s tactics here. They are NOT STUPID.
The enemy has BOTH a strategy and tactics, and they are apparent in the Mayorkas Document.
Assuming that you read the Gateway Pundit article…..
…..let’s look at the document itself….. (H/T Gateway Pundit and SCRIBD)
If you just skim through this document, you will find fascinating stuff EVERYWHERE.
Start off with a point that MUST be made. The discussion of “who is a domestic violent extremist” completely ignores leftist violence.
I mean COMPLETELY.
Let me just put that into a quote for Zoe and other low-vision readers.
Current Domestic Violent Extremism Threat Landscape
A March 2021 unclassified threat assessment prepared by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), Department of Justice, and DHS, noted that domestic violent extremists“ who are motivated by a range of ideologies and galvanized by recent political and societal events in the United States pose an elevated threat to the Homeland in 2021.”3 The assessment pointed to newer “sociopolitical developments such as narratives of fraud in the recent general election, the emboldening impact of the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and conspiracy theories promoting violence” that “will almost certainly spur some [domestic violent extremists] [sic] to try to engage in violence this year.”4
Report to the Secretary of Homeland Security Domestic Violent Extremism Internal Review Observations, Findings, And Recommendations
You can be damn sure, based on this, that the current bunch of [smart and devious] communist goofballs running DHS considers this blog to be a threat. Whatever. Keep it in mind. Act accordingly.
One of the things they do, right up front, is to put a LULL quote about protecting Constitutional rights at the end of a footnote. Yes, it’s just a footnote, and it’s just a sentence in that footnote, which isn’t even from this current study, but from a PRIOR one. Do not kid yourselves, in any case. This little qualifier means no real commitment, but it’s designed to promote self-deception by our side, and to provide some gristle for the FAKE NEWS FACT CHECKERS to say “toldjaso”.
MY EMPHASIS IN BOLD.
2 The Working Group used the definition provided in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s “Domestic Violent Extremism Poses Heightened Threat in 2021” assessment issued on March 1, 2021, which defines a domestic violent extremist as “an individual based and operating primarily in the United States without direction or inspiration from a foreign terrorist group or other foreign power and who seeks to further political or social goals wholly or in part through unlawful acts of force or violence.” It is important to note that the mere advocacy of political or social positions, political activism, use of strong rhetoric, or generalized philosophic embrace of violent tactics does not constitute extremism and is constitutionally protected.
This mealy-mouthed stuff can be used to EXCUSE Antifa and GO AFTER patriots at the very same time. Up is down, down is up, and DHS is in control for OBAMA.
The text of this footnote quote is not on its own indicative of the idea that they ARE going to go after patriots and NOT violent leftists like Antifa. However, the fact that their definition of DVE (domestic violent extremists) above is so highly politicized, trying to shift the entire message of DVE 100% away from their political allies, Antifa and BLM, and onto the victims of their phony buffalo jump narrative, tells you all that you need to know.
Now, to start seeing their plan, you need to search for the word insider in this document.
The word insider shows up 27 times in the document. Two of those are in the executive summary, right at the beginning.
I am including the ENTIRE executive summary, because it shows how there is no evidence of a NEED for what Mayorkas and the communists are doing, but “because there are gaps”, they are going to do it ANYWAY.
CLASSIC. Classic communist tactics.
EMPHASIS IN BOLD IS MINE.
These are points that lead to the motherlode.
Executive Summary
At Secretary Mayorkas’ direction, a cross-Departmental working group of senior officials conducted a comprehensive review of how to best prevent, detect, and respond to potential threats related to domestic violent extremism within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The Department’s Chief Security Officer led the Domestic Violent Extremism Internal Review Working Group (Working Group), which included experts from across the Department, including from DHS oversight offices. The Working Group also consulted with several interagency partners during the course of its review.
The Working Group found very few instances of the DHS workforce having been engaged in domestic violent extremism. However, the Working Group assessed that the Department has significant gaps that have impeded its ability to comprehensively prevent, detect, and respond to potential threats related to domestic violent extremism within DHS. These gaps, which the Department is working with urgency to close, may have impacted DHS officials’ ability to adequately identify and address related threats, and include the following:
• a lack of an official definition of “domestic violent extremist,” guidance as to what constitutes violent extremist activity, and an established list of behaviors that may be indicators of domestic violent extremism;
• a lack of workforce training specific to identifying and reporting violent extremist activity;
• a lack of specialized training for those best situated to identify violent extremist activity or behaviors that may be indicators of violent extremism (e.g., background investigators, Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties inquiry officials, and DHS Insider Threat Program personnel);
• a lack of a centralized, interoperable DHS-wide investigative case management system, as well as standardized reporting and information sharing mechanisms for investigating allegations of violent extremist activity; and,
• insufficient funding needed to support the expansion of the DHS Insider Threat Program, development and implementation of related training programs, establishment of a DHS-wide related reporting mechanism, and implementation of the government-wide federal personnel security reform effort called Trusted Workforce 2.0.
To address these gaps, the Working Group made 15 recommendations described further below to enhance the Department’s ability to comprehensively address internal domestic violent extremism-related activity to protect our employees and DHS’s ability to continue executing its critical mission.
Wolf again.
The idea of INSIDERS is critical. Never mind that the CLASSIC insiders are “left wing extremists” like Obama, Jarrett, and – boom – Alejandro Mayorkas. Yes – the entire government has been turned on its head.
The actual “insiders” are now calling the shots – and calling the patriots “insiders”.
If it wasn’t SICK, it would be hilarious.
Like I said, I lived through this shit. And my mom did, too.
DHS obviously is a target for any group wishing to take over or influence the United States. Trust me – the place is chock full of trouble, not only top-level Kim Philby insiders like Mayorkas, but also including ChiComs, very likely in the form of red diaper two-steppers who have not yet “decloaked” as commies.
Searching further on insider, we are led to multiple interesting sections.
Most of these have to do with “solutions” to the threat of DVE as insiders, despite the fact that there don’t seem to be any.
If you just look through the headlines of the 15 recommendations of the “working group” that gave Mayorkas what he wanted, you will see that they provide a ROADMAP for purging DHS of those who may be threats – like people who question sketchy elections or murderous vaccinations.
Recommendation 1: Adopt a consistent definition of “domestic violent extremist” and descriptions of violent extremist activity and integrate both into DHS policies and guidance.
Recommendation 2: Adopt and implement a DHS-approved list of behaviors that may be indicators of domestic violent extremism.
Recommendation 3: Develop and implement an official DHS Directive that provides guidance on how to identify and respond to violent extremist activity within the Department.
Recommendation 4: Incorporate the list of violent extremist activity into DHS policy.
Recommendation 5: Educate the DHS workforce on the threat that domestic violent extremists within the Department could pose to the DHS mission.
Recommendation 6: Inform employees of their obligations to refrain from violent extremist activity and the existing reporting requirements.
Recommendation 7: Provide training on how to identify and adjudicate violent extremist activity to employees charged with personnel screening and vetting activity.
Recommendation 8: Enhance hiring practices through initiatives under Trusted Workforce 2.0 in order to deter and detect individuals engaged in violent extremist activity from applying to work for the Department.
Recommendation 9: Establish the intra-departmental sharing capability for investigations and inquiries involving DHS contractors and other non-employee insiders.
Recommendation 10: Promote early intervention to get support to employees who may be at risk of radicalizing to violence.
Recommendation 11: Establish efficient and accessible reporting and intake mechanisms to facilitate information sharing among stakeholders charged with addressing allegations of violent extremist activity.
Recommendation 12: Accelerate the expansion of DHS Insider Threat Program capabilities.
Recommendation 13: Incorporate the DHS list of behaviors that may be indicators of violent extremism into insider threat tools, including user activity monitoring.
Recommendation 14: Explore expanding the use of publicly available information, including social media, beyond personnel security vetting, to identify or investigate potential violent extremist activity within the DHS workforce.
Recommendation 15: Establish an ongoing DHS Domestic Violent Extremist Working Group.
Let’s look at those in reverse order.
The last one (Number 15) creates a permanent “Mayorkas control group” that can begin doing things much more under the radar. Again, as I said, they will not originate any ideas that are not fed to them from above. But once this group is created, there will be MUCH less sunlight.
Number 14 is notable in that it shows how they will use social media to purge patriots based on social media posting, and prevent new ones from taking their places.
Number 13 shows how they will monitor employees on the inside. This was done in “shallow state” too, but the original purpose was actual national security, later turned to politics, once the commies took over.
Number 12 means they are going to do this stuff quickly, before the 2022 and 2024 elections.
Number 11 is more Obama “information-sharing” crap, whereby DHS will blackball patriots and honest Americans quickly throughout the entire government. That INCLUDES Woke Military, now turned to shit.
Number 10 is code for “risk mitigation” by social isolation of identified patriots, and suppression of any networking by patriots and honest Americans inside DHS.
Number 9 is HUGE. We will come back to that one.
Number 8 is about preventing patriots from joining DHS. They are going to socially change DHS to be WOKE, and that means NEVER hiring anybody like Christina Bobb ever again.
They are going to do their best to keep people like Ms. Bobb OUT of DHS.
Number 7 is pure “top-down” re-education of DHS personnel, in terms of how to deal with patriots.
Number 6 is how they begin the behavior modification of people at DHS. This is just like what they did in Shallow State, and it works like crazy. People will politically change, when the job forces them to do so. They don’t THINK they will change, but they will.
Number 5 is how they set up the more intrusive behavior modification, by starting with “education on the threat”. This indirect accusation of patriotic American staff within DHS is also designed to have a huge “chilling effect” within the organization. It will create internal division and isolation of the “problem” people. This works on the same Bolshevik principles that were used to create Christian-Jewish division in the United States in the 1970s – but THAT is another story for a different post.
Number 4 is how they give the policy teeth BEFORE it’s actually tested and rolled out. This is totally unscientific if what you’re trying to do is create an effective organization. However, if you are taking over an organization, in an occupied country, it’s exactly what you want to do.
Number 3 is the big cheese – the big policy of “what to do” about the people to be purged or suppressed.
Number 2 is a big part of the real payload – the “how to determine who is bad” part. This is the PRACTICAL part of the “identification of the enemy”. This is how they DEFINE who is “bad” in practice, like the Nazi genealogical rules on who was a Jew and who was merely racially impure. This is the Nazi stuff. This is what my mother warned me about. This is straight out of the Third Reich.
Number 1 leads us back to where I started, with this image:
This is the THEORY of who is bad. This is the GUIDANCE of who needs to be purged. This is the “top-down” message on who should not be in DHS. It will by highly political, and BY DESIGN won’t touch the PROG-NAZIS that they want in DHS.
Now – I skipped over Number 9 because that one is going to be hugely important for what DHS is actually setting up. Numbers 1-8 and 10-15 are more about getting political control of DHS.
Number 9 is about spreading the purge.
Recommendation 9: Establish the intra-departmental sharing capability for investigations and inquiries involving DHS contractors and other non-employee insiders.
Understand this. “DHS contractors and non-employee insiders” is YOU, all patriots and honest Americans in law enforcement and contracting entities outside of DHS.
This is how it spreads.
One needs to look closely at the relevant section. If you search on the word contractors, it appears almost exclusively in the section for Recommendation Number 9.
Which I repeat below:
Establishing a centralized, interoperable DHS-wide investigative case management system and information sharing procedures for these types of investigations and inquiries will help mitigate against the risk that a contractor under investigation for potential misconduct leaves the applicable contract prior to the completion of the investigation.
Given that DHS has about 170,000 contractors, special consideration must be given to vetting this sizeable population, which has direct authorized access to DHS assets (e.g., facilities,equipment, information, and systems).
DHS has remedies available to address domestic violent extremism threats involving DHS contractors and other non-employee insiders, including limiting or prohibiting access to DHS owned, leased, and operated facilities and/or removing an individual from a contract, as well as referring information to an appropriate criminal investigative agency for further action.
Action 9.1: Establish a working group composed of relevant subject matter experts from across the Department to identify and implement procedures and system capabilities needed to permit information sharing of investigations and inquiries.
This is designed to spread the infection.
Do not think – with federal money going along with DHS contracts – that this infection of Federal Law Enforcement and National Security by flat-out communist political purges is going to be contained inside DHS by simply ignoring it.
Also remember this – with Mayorkas’ “working group” modifying DHS policy in perpetuity, it could get EVEN WORSE in the future.
In my opinion, Republicans in Washington won’t do ANYTHING about this.
And even if they TRY, Mitch McConnell, on behalf of China, will stop it.
Ain’t that right, Mitch?
Notice how stealthy and smart this attack was. DHS and other federal law enforcement and national security assets made themselves “integral” to all sorts of state, regional, county and local agencies and offices. They are now a “normal” part of local and regional American law enforcement. It is far easier to give in to DHS demands, than to tear up contracts over a few people who DHS asks to be blackballed and driven out of a “partner”.
170,000 contractors is a LOT of people.
Now, as DHS begins purges at home, it is going to “investigate” and “purge” patriots and honest Americans from everybody it works with.
It doesn’t matter whether any kind of “devolution” is planned, or just happening.
The idea of “devolution” to reduce federal dependency is a THREAT to these people.
If you thought the communists in Washington were not going to FIGHT BACK, when states like Florida decided to resist, you were WRONG.
DHS is GRANTING ITSELF the power to “vet” not only private contractors but also state and local law enforcement officers in contract with DHS, for the Washington communist definition of “extremism”.
To KEEP THOSE CONTRACTS, individuals will be thrown under the bus, and they will GO UNDER THE WHEELS OF DODGY JUSTICE.
THAT is the state of things.
In my opinion, if we ignore this, we will be beyond the salvation of “peaceful revolution”.
This is designed to give DHS the power to make all law enforcement OBEY WASHINGTON.
And you ain’t gonna like that world – trust me.
So what do we have to do?
We will have to fight back against this at every level. ALL Republicans who don’t want to live under Democrat neo-Bolshevism for the rest of their lives must resist.
If we don’t, the entirety of law enforcement and the military will – eventually – be turned against everyday Americans.
Those who would be our friends will not speak up.
We will be living in something very much like China, but also like Nazi Germany.
“Progzi America.”
I know this for a fact. I don’t want to live there.
Hopefully there are people who see how to attack the DHS strategy.
And if they do, hopefully they will not telegraph OUR strategy in return.
First of a four part series on the ongoing attack on the American Food Supply including a time line.
“In an effort to escape the continuous, racking abdominal cramping, Alex curled up into a fetal position and begged me to hold him. I stroked his face, attempting to calm him, to soothe him. I watched in horror his life hemorrhaging away in the hospital bathroom; bowl after bowl of blood and mucus gushed from his little body. Later, I helped change blood-soaked diapers that he had to wear after he could no longer stand or walk. Alex’s screams were followed by silence as the evil toxins attacked his brain causing him to lose neurological control. His eyes crossed and he suffered tremors and delusions. He no longer knew who I was.”
Nancy Donley, mother of Alex and President of Safe Tables Our Priority
The agonizing death of this little boy and many others WAS DELIBERATE. It was ‘JUST POLITICS.’ An orchestrated death, along with others, used to play up the need for legislation that moved control of the US food supply FROM AMERICAN’S INDEPENDENT FARMERS TO THE AG CARTEL OF THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION.
Shielding the Giant USDA’s “Don’t Look, Don’t Know” Policytells the tale of how the USDA ALLOWED ConAgra to Poison Americans with Tainted Meat to create a crisis to get their blasted Food Safety Modernization Act through Congress. For over a decade Congresswoman Rosa Delauro (D – CT) tried to get the food safety bill through congress with no luck. So they set-up a MAJOR food poisoning event the E. coli Outbreak at the 2004 North Carolina State Fair and the MSM blasted it all over the news. I give the insider details HERE . (Slight editing to make it more readable.)
…..I know Jason Wilke of Crossroads Farm Petting Zoo, the designated fall guy for the State Fair E. coli Outbreak in North Carolina (2004). It is curious that two weeks before there was NO outbreak at the Lee County fair where he was for a week and there was no outbreak the week after at another large venue. (I personally verified with the fair committee chairs.) However during the week he stayed home prepping for the state fair, an animal rights activist who was a USDA vet, stuck a thermometer up the butt of each of his animals thanks to that one line change in the Animal Welfare Act. She also told him she wanted to close him down. These actions and words were relayed to me via phone by Jason BEFORE the fair. (He wanted to vent and moan) … CDC did over 400 tests on Jason’s animals and the only vector route was through fresh feces. Skin/fur or mouth contact did not have viable organisms. Also it was the first case where this nasty strain of e coli showed up in sheep and goats. It was confined to concentrated feed lot operations prior to that. Operations that would be inspected by a USDA vet. The four year campaign by Animal Rights Activists in North Carolina to cause a bad accident/incident at pony rides or petting farms ended abruptly the week of the fair and has not resurfaced…. HMMMmmm.
Gail Combs
I did not mention in that comment that PETA targeted me, trying to arrange animal related injuries to children 4 times in the 6 months prior to the fair. The last attempt was less than a week before the fair. I have had no incidences since then. Also Feces SINK through the shavings so a child would literally have to go digging through the shavings for the fresh feces to eat. On the other hand State Fairs use casual labor (How many were PETA?) The food vendors would likely buy hamburger from the refrigerated trailers parked on the state grounds. The vendors equipment and area would be steam cleaned long before the inspectors would go looking for someone to pin the blame on. Therefore there would be zero chance of connecting the food vendors to the outbreak.
…What bothers me the most is that there is enough “leakage” to see the clear coordination. Like the “4 walling” of food related illnesses right up until the farm regulation bill was past. Now? Nothing. Well I’m sorry, but we did not overnight go to zero food poisoning or bacterial contamination. It just reeks of either deliberate contamination to create a panic or a deliberate propaganda effort coordinated from (somewhere) central.
It bothers me to think that the governments of the world are largely in the Railroading Business, but it is looking ever more that way. Clear lines of control, influence, action “for effect”, coordinated efforts agenda driven. I’d like to think we had a free association of people and a marketplace of ideas, evolving to the best ends. The evidence argues otherwise. The UN is clearly (and states so) acting as a central coordinating and influencing body. The intent to reduce the Nation State autonomy is also quite clear. (That the Big Players have publicly stated that intent makes it easier to see…
EM was certainly correct. Prior to that final incident in 2004 John Munsell tried to alert politicians and others. In a e-mail to me he even said he had a reporter stay with him for three days, write an article for a well know NY magazine, have it approved by the editor only to have the CEO kill the article at the last minute.
“Before the tainted beef arrived — USDA-approved and vacuum-sealed – Munsell had no reason to doubt the integrity of the food-safety system. But that changed after the meat he ground for hamburger tested positive for E. coli 0157:H7. Instead of tracking the contaminated meat back to its source, the USDA launched an investigation of Munsell’s own operation. Never mind that the local federal inspector had seen the beef go straight from the package into a clean grinder — a USDA spokesman called that testimony “hearsay.” By February 2002, three more tests of meat Munsell was grinding straight from the package came back positive. This time, as he would later testify in a government hearing, he had paperwork documenting that the beef came from a single source: ConAgra:
Munsell fired off an angry email to the district USDA manager, warning of a potential public-health emergency, and adding that if no one tracked down the rest of the bad meat, “both of us should share a cell in Alcatraz.” The agency moved immediately and aggressively — not to recall meat from Greeley, but to shut down Munsell’s grinding operation, a punishment that lasted four months. Despite Munsell’s continued whistleblowing — to Senator Conrad Burns (R-Mont.), national cattle associations, and his fellow meat processors — the USDA failed to address the alleged contamination at ConAgra’s Greely Plant. Then, in July 2002, Munsell’s worst fears came true. E. coli-tainted burger from Greeley killed an Ohio woman and sickened at least 35 others. ConAgra then recalled 19 million pounds of beef, one of the largest recalls in history.”
But again nothing was done. The switch from the ‘safest food in the world’ to feces laced hamburger can be traced to the switch from hands on USDA food inspection to HACCP, a new system where inspectors no longer inspect FOOD, they inspect PAPERWORK. John Munsell does a great job of explaining the change in:
Unfortunately there are just too of many “incidents” that have been handled in such a way that transnational corporations are not “inconvenienced”. Stanley Painter, Chairman of the National Food Inspection Unions, stated in his testimony at the congressional hearing on the Hallmark Dower Cows:
“..when we see violations of FSIS regulations,.. we are instructed not to write non-compliance reports… Sometimes even if we write non-compliance reports, some of the larger companies use their political muscle to get those overturned….Some of mymembers have been intimidated by agency management in the past when they came forward and tried to enforce agency regulations and policies. I will give you a personal example: [SRM removal regulations concern brain and spine removal to prevent BSE] …
In December 2004, I began to receive reports that the new SRM regulations were not being uniformly enforced. I wrote a letter to the Assistant FSIS Administrator for Field Operations at the time conveying to him what I had heard…I was paid a visit at my home in Alabama by an FSIS official dispatched from the Atlanta regional office to convince me to drop the issue. I told him that I would not.
Then, the agency summoned me to come here to Washington, DC where agency officials subjected me to several hours of interrogation including wanting me to identify which of my members were blowing the whistle on the SRM removal violations. I refused to do so….I was then placed on disciplinary investigation status. The agency even contacted the USDA Office of Inspector General to explore criminal charges being filed against me…
Both my union AFGE and the consumer group Public Citizen filed separate Freedom of Information Act requests in December 2004 for any non-compliance records in the FSIS data base…. It was not until August 2005 that over 1000 non-compliance reports – weighing some 16 pounds — were turned over to both AFGE and Public Citizen that proved that what my members were telling me was correct – that some beef slaughter facilities were not complying with the SRM removal regulations… on the same day those records were released, I received written notification from the agency that they were dropping their disciplinary investigation – eight months after their “investigation” began.
When the act failed to pass under the sponsorship of Democrat Rosa Delauno, the Act was then CO-SPONSORED by Senator Burr (R – NC) I go through some of the ramifications of that law HERE. The KEY is the Ag Cartel controlled World trade Organization would determine the rules US farmers would have to live by.
SEC. 404. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS. Nothing in this Act (or an amendment made by this Act) shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the agreement establishing the World Trade Organization or any other treaty or international agreement to which the United States is a party.
….Spend hours out of your working day filling in endless forms, filing maps and measuring every last inch of your fields, tracks and farmsteads; applying for ‘passports’ for your cattle and ear tags for your sheep and pigs; re-siting the slurry pit and putting stainless steel and washable tiles on the dairy walls; becoming versed in HASAP hygiene and sanitary rules and applying them where any food processing was to take place; and living under the threat of convictions and fines should one put a finger out of place or be late in supplying some official details…
Sir Julian Rose
Do not forget that Bush signed a treaty to HARMONIZE US laws with that of the EU.
“In a sweeping move that has garnered surprisingly little attention this week the United States and the European Union have signed up to a new transatlantic economic partnership that will see regulatory standards “harmonized” and will lay the basis for a merging of the US and EU into one single market, a huge step on the path to a new globalized world order.” The BBC reported from the Summit in Washington on Monday….
The harmonization of laws, regulations and standards between and among trading partners requires intense, complex, time-consuming negotiations by CFSAN officials. Harmonization must simultaneously facilitate international trade and promote mutual understanding, while protecting national interests and establish a basis to resolve food issues on sound scientific evidence in an objective atmosphere. Failure to reach a consistent, harmonized set of laws, regulations and standards within the freetrade agreements and the World Trade Organization Agreements can result in considerable economic repercussions.
FDA
The international Ag Cartel was the driving force behind the Agreement on Agriculture, HACCP and the doubling of Food Borne illnesses. I did the graphs for a presentation before congress showing the five years before HACCP and the five years after. The USDA responded just as the DOD is now. ‘OH the first five years didn’t capture ALL the food borne illness. We switched to a different system where the reports (MANDATORY BY LAW) can be emailed instead of Faxed or sent by mail.’
This doubling of food borne illness, well hyped by the media, was used to justify the new law, the Food Safety Modernization Act, REGULATING farming (not the corporate processing plants.) These new regulations are meant to be used to kill off US independent farmers.
Again the USDA and the FDA LIED. They stated there had been no up date to our food safety system AFTER they had already implemented HACCP allowing the Ag cartel to inspect themselves.
In September, 1995, USDA’s Food Safety & Inspection Service presented a 600-page document Farm-To-Table – control of every step in the food chain from production to home preparation.
For plants with more than one process (meaning more than one HACCP program), verification activities would be scheduled to ensure that all HACCP plans are covered at least once a month. Compliance over time would mean less frequent verification.
Some key steps:
Verification – Inspector checks to see that the plant is doing what is in its process control or HACCP plan. This may last several hours or perhaps one day.
Validation – FSIS evaluates the plant’s HACCP plan to be certain it is appropriate and works for the product and process covered. A target frequency for validation audit would be at least once every two years for every HACCP plan. This is likely to involve an FSIS out-of-plant technical person or team and take several days to a week, but will occur on site…
Steve Krut, American Association of Meat Processors
The Grain Trader Dan Amstutz, Who wrote the Draft of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture was VP of Cargill (grain) and then moved to Goldman Sachs (How Goldman Sachs Created the Food Crisis- with it’s entry into the commodities market) He originally worked in the department of Ag under Reagan but his draft Agreement on Ag and Draft farm bill was passed under Clinton.
The author Nicole Johnson takes us through how a Milner Round Table, the Committee for Economic Development (CED), intentionally changed the US agriculture system from a decentralized system to the vertically integrated system favored by the Ag cartel.
The human cost of CED’s plans were exacting and enormous.
CED’s plans resulted in widespread social upheaval throughout rural America, ripping apart the fabric of its society destroying its local economies. They also resulted in a massive migration to larger cities. The loss of a farm also means the loss of identity, and many farmers’ lives ended in suicide.
CED members were influential in business, government, and agricultural colleges, and their outlook shaped both governmental policies and what farmers were taught. Farmers found themselves encouraged to give up on a farming system that employed minimal outsourced inputs and capital and get “efficient” by adopting instead a system that required they go into debt in order to purchase ever more costly inputs, like fossil-fuel based fertilizers, chemicals, seeds, feed grain, and machinery. The local, decentralized food distribution networks that were previously in place became subject to corporate buyouts, vertical integration and consolidation, leaving farmers with fewer and fewer outlets to sell their goods.
With this consolidation of grain handlers, railways, food processing, meat packing, brewing and beverage makers, cereal makers, food retailers and restaurants, more and more of the food dollar went to processors and retailers, which gained increased market power. Farmers, meanwhile, were and continue to be squeezed on both ends: by input suppliers putting upward pressure on selling prices and by output buyers exerting downward pressure on their buying prices.
This analysis is confirmed by the Keystone Center, an establishment think tank with representatives on its board from Monsanto, DuPont, Shell, Coca-Cola, Dow, General Electric and the Rockefeller Foundation, to name a few. The organization’s 2001 report “The Keystone National Policy Dialogue on Trends in Agriculture” observes that “Agricultural policy in many respects supported the concentration of farming into larger and fewer units. Some would say agricultural policy is biased toward bigness.”
Home Gardens ARE covered in case you are wondering..
“..FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITY- The term ‘food production facility’ means any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation…”
There is NO exemption for instate commerce, for hobby farms, for you backyard garden.
“ The Administrator, in order to protect the public health, shall establish a national traceability system that enables the Administrator to retrieve the history, use, and location of an article of food through all stages of its production, processing, and distribution. set good practice standards to protect the public and animal health and promote food safety;
conduct monitoring and surveillance of animals, plants, products, or the environment, as appropriate
require each food production facility to have a written food safety plan that describes the likely hazards and preventive controls implemented to address those hazards;
include, with respect to growing, harvesting, sorting, and storage operations, minimum standards related to fertilizer use, nutrients, hygiene, packaging, temperature controls, animal encroachment, and water”
Notice it does not say a person SELLING food, it says a person holds, stores, or transports food or food ingredients. This is very scary given Ag Sec. Venman’s ” September, 1995, USDA’s Food Safety & Inspection Service presented a 600-page document Farm-To-Table – control of every step in the food chain from production to home preparation. “
Also included is this. “in any action to enforce the requirements of the food safety law, the connection with interstate commerce required for jurisdiction SHALL BE PRESUMED TO EXIST.” The fact you are growing veggies for you and friends does not exclude you!
….Lori Robertson of FactCheck.org, who is not a lawyer (she has a B.A. in advertising), claims the bill doesn’t apply to “that tomato plant in your backyard.” As a lawyer, I am skeptical of this claim (I co-represented the prevailing defendant in the last successful constitutional challenge to federal regulation under the interstate commerce clause…
….Ignorance about the law’s broad reach (and how it will be construed by the courts) has thwarted opposition to the bill, which will likely pass Congress. For example, a newspaper claims the bill “doesn’t regulate home gardens.” The newspaper probably assumed that was true because the bill, like most federal laws, only purports to reach activities that affect “interstate commerce.” To an uninformed layperson or journalist, that “sounds as if it might not reach local and mom-and-pop operators at all.” (The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, has sought to forestall opposition to her bill by falsely claiming that that “the Constitution’s commerce clause prevents the federal government from regulating commerce that doesn’t cross state lines.”)
But lawyers familiar with our capricious legal system know better. The Supreme Court ruled in Wickard v. Filburn (1942) that even home gardens (in that case, a farmer’s growing wheat for his own consumption) are subject to federal laws that regulate interstate commerce. Economists and scholars have criticized this decision, but it continues to be cited and followed in Supreme Court rulings, such as those applying federal anti-drug laws to consumption of even home-grown medical marijuana. Indeed, many court decisions allow Congress to define as “interstate commerce” even non-commercial conduct that doesn’t cross state lines — something directly at odds with Rep. DeLauro’s claims.
