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

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

Of course, pushback and abuse started.

And then darkness descended.

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

And action ensued:

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

Good job, Mr. Walsh.

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

The Walk of Faith in These Uncertain Times

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

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

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

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

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

The Babylon Bee has big plans for Twitter

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

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

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

Who’s the Real Boss at the FDA?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fauci Justifies Using School Kids as Collateral Damage for COVID Shutdowns

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

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

Putin’s Address: Approaching the Precipice

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

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

This is why you see China and Russia in the news making joint statements about preventing “Western Colour Revolutions”2. Russia are fighting back against the US proxy Ukraine, and now China looking to remove US influence in Taiwan. The East are standing up to the West.

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

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

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

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

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

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

It has been already, in the ages before us. 11There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to happen among those who come after.

Why not….

We begin today with a master class put on by Senator Rand Paul.

Yowza.

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

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

Brian Cates

Well….SURPRISE!

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

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

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

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

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

Sucks to be you, Igor.

t.me/drawandstrikechannel/53866

Brian Cates

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

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

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

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

But that was never true.

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

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

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

And I’m gonna enjoy watching it.

t.me/drawandstrikechannel/53867

Durham shocker: Danchenko was a paid FBI informant

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

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

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

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

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

Durham Inquiry Appears to Wind Down as Grand Jury Expires

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

Curious.

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

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

Tabs:

Boomerang.

Don’t let yourself get burnt out on information.

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

Balance is the key to health.

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

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

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

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

A Leaking Ship of Fools

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

Time to Stop Living a Half-Life

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

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

The Regime’s ‘Operation MAGA Fascist’ Gains Ground

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Elites Are DEFINITELY Getting Prepared — Are You?

THE COMMUNITY SOLUTION TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS

So what can be done?

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

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

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

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

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

THE UKRAINE GRIFT

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

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

Behind the ‘Grid Emergency’

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

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

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

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

Almost 25% of Democrats think men can get pregnant

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

MICAH 5:1-4

1Now you are walled about with a wall; siege is laid against us; with a rod they strike upon the cheek the ruler of Israel. 2But you, O Bethlehem Eph’rathah, who are little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days. 3Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in travail has brought forth; then the rest of his brethren shall return to the people of Israel. 4And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.

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

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

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

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

On to other matters:

‘Gutfeld!’ makes history, unseats Stephen Colbert as new king of late-night television

Qtah

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

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

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

1 CORINTHIANS 3:18-23

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

LUKE 5:1-11

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

Russian MIL Discuss US Crimes Against Humanity at SCO Summit

Russian Defense Minister, the highest ranking Russian military official only behind Putin, Sergei Shoigu, spoke at the meeting in great depth on the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, and goes absolutely scorched earth on the US and the activities of the Deep State. He goes over the reason for Russia’s invasion, the Deep State biological network, the Nazi war-crimes, Taiwan, EVERYTHING!

Note to Liz Cheney: You’re No Lincoln

Unlike Epstein, I have met Liz Cheney (and her parents) and have a actual basis on which to question her ethics and political motivations.

After I sat next to her at a luncheon about a year into Obama’s first term, she invited me to an intimate and private dinner with two of George W. Bush’s former national security advisers.  The four of us spent several hours discussing Iran, Iraq, al-Qaeda, and Israel, and it was clear that Cheney was preparing to launch her political career, for which she had high aspirations.  She asked me to write a white paper on why Israel is a strategic asset to the United States and offered to pay me $2,000 for my product.  I spent one month thoroughly researching the 6,000-word paper, which was edited by a highly respected former NSA official, foreign policy expert, journalist, and conservative thinker. 

After receiving the final paper from both of us in separate emails, Cheney never responded.  She went completely MIA.  To this day, I have no idea if she ever used the paper in her campaign or work in Congress.  She never thanked me, never paid me, and never reached out to me again.  I would call that rude, unprofessional, and certainly unethical.  It showed a lack of character and morals, but it also showed hubris — the kind we often see from politicians like Obama and Hillary, who not only believe themselves above the law, but believe they are entitled to their power and the rest of us are here to serve them.

ENEMIES OF THE REGIME

In reality Dugin’s proximity to Putin and the scale of his influence over him remains persistently exaggerated for reasons more to do with Dugin’s influence in the West than in Moscow, and the Western elite’s increasingly narcissistic and totalitarian character. Dugin is both the best-known contemporary Russian philosopher and among the most influential philosophers associated with the global reactionary Right. In connecting his positions to Putin the suggestion is floated that this whole school of thought, and ultimately all political dissidence, is directed from Moscow as a subversion strategy, without any real substance, or legitimate grievance, and therefore may be suppressed, as opposed to acknowledged and reckoned with….

Ubiquitous accusations of fascism belong to the same register albeit in more metaphysical, if equally delusional terms. Russia at least is a concrete geopolitical actor. Fascism and its various cognates (the far-right, white supremacism, etc.) is a supernatural contagion, somehow perpetually “rising” inversely to progressive political victories. Dugin himself has already registered the main thrust of this logic:

“First of all, they view all their enemies as fascists. After that, they begin to kill them because they are fascists. Nobody investigates anything. That’s just Bolshevism, just like in the Bolshevik Revolution or in the French Revolution. Everybody who is declared an enemy of the revolution should be exterminated.”

Fascism in this sense represents little more than the term of choice to dehumanise enemies of a paranoid political regime in order to persecute them. Nothing about this is new. In sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe the terms gazari and vaudois, after the destroyed Cathar and Waldensian heresies, were used the same way to propagate the orgy of murder today known as the witch trials.

Stopping Biden After November

Given the past inclination of Republicans to fight amongst themselves on the sidelines, it is an inconvenient truth that a slim congressional majority would not be enough to save them from their own party intrigues and petty rivalries.  Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, who held himself up as the morally superior conscience of the Republican Party, saw Donald Trump as more an intruder than a president. He tolerated the White House agenda and held his nose as he gave them legislative victories — rewriting the tax code and rebuilding the military — before retiring with a smile and surrendering the gavel to Nancy Pelosi.

Watching the waking up is painful in its slowness.

Declining Empire At War

Every single American needs to read Christopher Caldwell’s powerful piece asking what on earth the US is doing in Ukraine. Excerpts:

Never has an official non-belligerent been more implicated in a war. Russia and its sympathizers assert that the U.S. attempt to turn Ukraine into an armed anti-Russian camp is what the war is about in the first place. Even those who dismiss this view will agree that the United States has made itself a central player in the conflict. It is pursuing a three-pronged strategy to defeat Russia through every means short of entering the war—which, of course, raises the risk that the United States will enter the war. One prong is the state-of-the-art weaponry it is supplying to Ukraine. Since June, thousands of computer-guided artillery rockets have been wreaking havoc behind Russian lines. A second prong is sanctions. With western European help, Washington has used its control of the choke points of the global marketplace to impoverish Russians, in hopes of punishing Russia. Finally, the U.S. seeks to rally the world’s peoples to a culture war against an enemy whose traditionalism, even if it does not constitute the whole of his evil, is at least a symbol of it.

The American Tower of Babel

Today, we call it atomization. We believe it is especially driven by technology. But it’s not simply the machines that are creating human automatons. We have allowed the machines to create and shape our metaphysics. Part of the problem is that we have lost the threads between different spheres of life. There is no longer a difference between the public and the private self. Such notions are absent from the intellectual discussion. 

People do engage with one another, but just like the endless stream of tweets, the discourse is shallow, uninformed, and narcissistic. Do we really expect to create a culture that thrives on creativity in an environment that is this toxic? Are we really that blind to the reality of a constant feedback loop that is clearly shaping an insane society that cannot sustain itself any longer?

Politics is one of the essential spheres of life. Even if we don’t consider ourselves overly political, as citizens, we engage in politics in one form or another. What happens when this particular sphere is overtaken by irrationality and corruption? A citizen will either acquiesce or fight. But what kind of life is one of submission or perpetual reaction? Either way, creation loses, and destruction wins. 

Cultural Marxism: a thread 

The problem is, Marx didn’t live long enough to actually organize such a working class revolution. And when his successors tried, they discovered a small problem: the working class doesn’t want revolution, and in fact the working class is the most conservative class in society, 

even more so than the capitalists (who led the revolution out of feudalism). Economic conflict couldn’t overcome forces like religion, patriotism and tradition even more so than the capitalists (who led the revolution out of feudalism) 

Economic conflict couldn’t overcome forces like religion, patriotism and tradition

What to do? British Fabians, a group of Marxist intellectuals, realized there was one class that was open to the idea of revolution, namely the intellectuals like themselves. They looked down on 

religion and tradition as superstition, and instead of loyalty to their nation they felt loyalty only to “The People”. (Only in the abstract, of course, they didn’t seem to want the company of actual dirty uneducated people.)

Based on what I’ve seen uncovered in the past week and a half since all The Pit researchers started digging into the Konnech info: When the FBI went digging into this they uncovered a massive scandal implicating the DOD and several intel/5 EYES intel agencies in either deliberately handing this open door into our elections to the CCP or they did it accidentally from incompetence. Either way, the FBI was looking at a massive scandal that would implicate top DOD officials and Intel agency officials. They were faced with two options: pull the lid off this Pandora’s Box and pursue it where ever it led OR make it go away by flipping it on the whistleblowers who brought the Konnech data to them, Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht of True The Vote. You’ll NEVER guess which option the FBI brass decided on….

The Republic is Threatened, not Destroyed

While I rarely disagree with Victor Davis Hanson, I have to take exception to what he said on Mark Levin’s Fox show, August 14: “We’re no longer a republic anymore.  We’re in a transition to a radical democracy.”    

No blinkers here.  Yes, the republic is imperiled, but is it finished?  Unintentional, no doubt, but saying that America is cooked is tantamount to waving a big, white flag.  Where’s the righteous indignation and warrior spirit so necessary to winning this fight? 

Do we want to send messages of defeat to tens of millions of patriots?  Mission accomplished for Democrats and their allies?  Bye, bye, rule of law?  Good luck maneuvering through all the antiliberty landmines?  

I disagree with VDH all the time. No big deal.

COVID Vaccine Propaganda Busted – High Deaths and Cancers

The main propaganda line is that vaccines and boosters are ‘safe and effective’ and prevent severe illness and death. These are lies, as shown by the data.

COVID propaganda lies set a record in the history of the human race.  It has killed millions of people.

The recent sharp increase in COVID deaths has caught my attention. I have been watching daily COVID statistics in The Washington Post. A few months ago, the 7-day average for deaths was about 300. In last Sunday’s paper, it was 500.

That is about a 70% increase!

And the purebloods are watching family and friends deteriorate with breaking hearts.

Leftists Crushed in School Boards Across Florida

While primary elections occurred in Florida, New York, and Oklahoma Tuesday, Florida has general elections for school boards, meaning the winners will be the official members of the boards.

Many of the winning candidates have been endorsed by the 1776 Project PAC, an organization that has been instrumental in flipping school boards from liberal to conservative across the country.

“We saw massive election victories all throughout the state of Florida tonight,” 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky told Breitbart News Tuesday. “It shows the desire of parents and residents across the country for some normalcy in our education system, and that means pushing against transgender ideology, critical race theory, critical gender ideology, and equity which destroys merit in education.”

Precedent

“Precedent refers to a court decision that is considered as authority for deciding subsequent cases involving identical or similar facts, or similar legal issues. Precedent is incorporated into the doctrine of stare decisis and requires courts to apply the law in the same manner to cases with the same facts. Some judges have stated that precedent ensures that individuals in similar situations are treated alike instead of based on a particular judge’s personal views.

If the facts or issues of a case differ from those in a previous case, the previous case cannot be precedent. The Supreme Court in Cooper Industries, Inc. v. Aviall Services, Inc. reiterated that “[q]uestions which merely lurk on the record, neither brought to the attention of the court nor ruled upon, are not to be considered as . . . precedent.” Therefore, a prior decision serves as precedent only for issues, given the particular facts, that the court explicitly considered in reaching its decision.”

Investigation Into U.S. Election Software Company Uncovers Chinese Coders

Konnech Inc., a U.S. software company based out of East Lansing, Michigan, helps manage the poll workers, poll locations, campaigns, assets, mail-in ballots, and supplies necessary to run elections in the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Although, the American technology company, which was founded in 2002, is used by the U.S. Department of Defense and ‘thousands of election offices across North America’, Konnech Inc., previously built a ‘communication platform’ called ChineseBrief.com for the Confucius Institute.

Furthermore, many of the company’s software engineers and employees graduated from Chinese universities such as Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, University of Science and Technology of China, Beijing Language and Culture University, China Agricultural University, and HuaZhong University of Science and Technology.

MATTHEW 24:42-51

42Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43But know this, that if the householder had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into. 44Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 45“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing. 47Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. 48But if that wicked servant says to himself, `My master is delayed,’ 49and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with the drunken, 50the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, 51and will punish him, and put him with the hypocrites; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
