“This movie is terrible in so many ways, and yet it’s awesome, fascinating, and needs to be seen, so I highly recommend it.”
I think this is a Mike Lindell movie. It’s like an Amazon movie without Amazon. It was clearly made on a shoestring, and the people who made it, clearly tried to do something much bigger, and didn’t have the money, so they threw together what they had.
The misaligned audio is just horrible. HORRIBLE. Jaw-droppingly bad.
AND YET – it’s great.
NOW I understand what Dominion is doing, by ENABLING cheating.
NOW I understand why Colorado has gone to hell.
NOW I understand how the American government has been taken over by a literal shadow government, that will run roughshod over any state in which it can take over the electoral system.
NOW I understand how “they” put “warm bodies” like Jenna Griswold into positions that don’t need a master criminal – just a “cat” that’s dumb enough to be permanently away, so the mice can play all day – but who, in an “emergency” of the truth getting out, will follow orders and go along with a criminal conspiracy that they themselves are absolutely unqualified to confront, even if they wanted to do it.
This movie is a VERY clear vision of the criminality we are up against.
SO – I really recommend wasting an hour that you will never get back, seeing this, despite all the flaws.
I have been talking for a while about the “videographic” theories of 9/11 fakery, that convinced me about 4 years ago that 9/11 was largely a psy-op on this world.
Well, that whole story just got bigger. Something that everybody missed. Until now.
Let me begin by thanking the member here, who – when this blog started – asked me the “shake-up” question needed to begin a seriously scientific approach to 9/11. This is the question he asked.
“Did you see the planes hit the buildings?”
I waffled with a standard response of some kind, and he asked it again.
“Did you see the planes hit the buildings?”
It’s a very simple question, but it “puts us in our place”, by forcing us to remember that we accept ALL of the 9/11 narrative on authority, and not on evidence that we, ourselves, obtained. We accept both the evidence and its interpretation on authority.
We are not being scientific about it.
MAINTAIN SOME SKEPTICISM. IT’S OK.
Now I’m going to show you a new “piece” of the video hoax which I had not seen before, plus another one that has been already very damning to the official narrative. Both of them are explained in a short Twitter copy of a video.
A quick word of thanks to barkerjim for alerting me to this, and to The Burning Platform for getting out the word. And some commenter on TBP, named Hardscrabble Farmer, who submitted it.
This is one tweet for the ages. Watch it while it’s still up.
OK, this is excellent. The SECOND glitch is new and completely damning.
The “entry wound” is filled with errors. I saw a different video analysis of it which explains both the “slicing” problem described in this video, AND additional problems of the entry that are not described here. Beyond THOSE, I found my own problems with the entry, which I hold in reserve as nukes of my own, in order to prevent CIA from putting out “reactive disinformation”.
Notice how DHS has added 9/11 analysis to their “violent extremist” rhetoric. DOJ-NSD, CIA, and DNI (who basically run DHS) know that we know.
Now – as far as reactive disinformation, I can tell you this.
“They” (the whole gang) are VERY sensitive on South Tower fakery. They know they’re caught in multiple ways. They have put out a new “amateur video” in response to the actual amateur video without a plane. That video surfaced way late, and originally they covered it up by using shills to allege that it was a “plane removed” doctored video, but that response failed.
I’ve looked at the new fake amateur video long enough to figure out why it’s phony. They can’t actually “re-do” the bad entry, because any new videos will conflict with the old ones, so they are forced to include most of the same mistakes. IMO this video may have just been an old fake video that was kept in reserve and then freshened for re-release (there is a newer – IMO – cinematic video trick used).
Bottom line is that there is now 100% reasonable doubt. Thank you to Tonawanda for reminding us of that basic American judicial concept.
The jury is back. 9/11 Truth is winning. And THEY – all of them – are SKEEEERED BIGLY.
Here is the video without the plane, which I mentioned.
This video led me to other logical nukes which prove that the South Tower is a hoax. At first, they depended on this video, but then I realized that they don’t. It was in trying to validate this video that I found them.
I’m waiting for others to find them independently before I dump.
If you want to see some other posts done here about 9/11, the following list is useful. These are in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top).
(still from video, don’t click, see below!) I’ve spent a lot of time on Gab today, and I’m just blown away at the extent to which people are now ultra-red-pilled on 9/11. The amount of evidence pouring out is overwhelming. I’m seeing stuff I’ve NEVER seen before. Re-evaluating all of this evidence, knowing what we …
I leave this as an open question, although this thread is ultimately concerned with somebody named Barbara Olson, who died on 9/11. I believe that the method of Barbara’s murder is now demonstrated. Introduction The key to solving 9/11 is realizing that it was a CLINTON-centered operation which was launched AFTER the Clintons left the …
I was originally going to entitle this post something else – something cuter and more grandiose about “my life-long sword-fight with Occam’s razor“. Hence the opening image. However, that goal was WAY too big for a blog post. I could literally write a book on it. The fact is, I have MANY issues with Occam’s …
As I’ve said before in the VLWC series, we discover nothing new, but we do rediscover what has been hidden from us by time and craftier people. Over and over, the truth is hidden and revealed. Somewhere, a Soviet KGB analyst rediscovered this timeless principle, marveled at it, and filed it away for his next …
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.
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.
President Joe Biden has asked the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to conduct a “comprehensive threat assessment” of domestic extremism following the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol by a violent mob that left five people dead.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced on Friday that Biden decided to ask for the review, which will be coordinated with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, because “clearly more needs to be done” to address the rising threat posed by violent extremists across the country.
“The January 6th assault on the capitol and the tragic deaths and destruction that occurred underscored what we have long known: The rise of domestic violent extremism is a serious and growing national security threat,” Psaki said. “The Biden administration will confront this threat with the necessary resources and resolve.”
To me, it’s very clear what the commies plan to do. “First they came…” is starting to roll.
BIDENAZIS, the American Bolsheviks under #FakePresident, are showing their true colors.
These criminals are a DISGRACE.

I get an enormous amount of mail, email, texts, and flyers for Republican candidates. I think I must be on every list of every candidate in every state. From California to Maine, Florida to Alaska, I get mailings and urgent texts like I live there. The reason is that I am cursed to see the big picture.
If I want to live life the way I do now in WOLF JUNCTION, FO (the state of FLYOVER), I have to CARE about the politics of states I have never even visited – to say nothing of nearby states, states where I used to live, states where I will someday live, and state[s] where I do live right now.
SO, with that in mind, today (yesterday, whatever) I looked down at my small electronic device, and saw a FAMILIAR NAME, asking for help. Funny, my immediate urge was TO HELP. And while my means of helping with money are somewhat limited, I do have something else – a BLOG on which I can ramble incoherently about one thing or another.
So please – indulge me while I ramble.
One of the most remarkable things about our Very Stable Genius, President Donald J. Trump, is that he has made moderate Republican politics about the edgiest thing in town. Personally, I take this as PROOF that the man is a certifiable genius, because nobody should technically be able to do this. It’s like making people watch BRIDGE instead of BREAKING BAD. And yet, he did it. It’s remarkable. Absolutely remarkable.
How did he do this?
Complicated business.
So I find it absolutely shocking, when I now realize that the moderate Republican who I used to support – John Kasich – has now been completely replaced by a DIFFERENT moderate Republican who I now support – Susan Collins – based on the simple fact that one of them gets the brilliant strategy of a third moderate Republican – DONALD J. TRUMP – and the other does not.
Trump Gravity is an amazingly funny thing. It just throws people around this way and that, but after a while, it really makes sense. All this stuff he said in his books – it makes sense. Watching the man – it’s like Trump University – it all makes sense – and it’s FREE.
However, sometimes you just have to cut past all the complications, and just speak the obvious truth. “This thing here is pulling on that thing there, and it made it all move THAT-A-WAY.”
When I looked down at my small device, and I saw the name Susan Collins, I remembered one thing above all. When it could very well have cost this woman her seat in the Senate, she stood up for a guy named Brett Kavanaugh, simply because it was the RIGHT THING TO DO.
Not only that – in doing so, she stood with President Trump – not always the most popular thing with the Democrat Fake News Media, upon whose good graces she DEPENDS much more than many other politicians.
This is not the only time she supported President Trump when it would have been very easy to make a virtue signal to the center by automatically opposing him – say – on IMPEACHMENT. She is ALREADY looking like she will NOT be railroaded by the left or the media on impeachment.
And then there was when she vigorously SUPPORTED JEFF SESSIONS FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Yeah, it’s possible to entertain theories of “Deep State Sessions”, with “Deep State Collins” supporting him, but look at the VOTE NUMBERS on Sessions’ appointment, as Q says. It was 52 to 47. Deep State Sessions? YEAH, RIGHT. Look at how hard the leftists tried to smear Sessions on RACE. Look at how they BOXED HIM IN with the FAKE RUSSIAN COLLUSION HOAX.
It is worth reading the rest of this document, to see just how impressive Jeff Sessions really is. There is a REASON that this lady supported Jeff Sessions. She can SPOT THE GOOD ONES – just like she did with Kavanaugh.
One of the most INTERESTING times that Susan Collins really impressed me, was during the “Russian Election Interference” hearings held by the Senate. There was mucho grandstanding by EVERYBODY involved. But in the middle of all that sound and fury, signifying nothing but a DEMOCRAT PLOT, Susan Collins asked the good lady from DHS, Jeanette Manfra, a VERY subtle and perceptive question about organizational technical responsibility for cyber tools determining specifics about attacks – and it was NOT DHS.
This changed everything for me, and basically CRACKED THE CASE. Susan Collins had gotten past Brennan’s “responsibility-casting” dodge, in the same way that Elise Stefanik managed to get past Comey’s carefully hidden bypassing of counter-intelligence head Bill Priestap, while leaving Priestap holding the bag on Spygate.
NOBODY NOTICED what Susan Collins did – well, except maybe guys like Nunes and others who were trying to figure out what was really going on.
So, I appreciate this woman. Even though she sometimes does and says stuff that drives me nuts.
Now I’m not saying this lady is never going to make me want to spit nails again, for being a waffly squish on this or that. I’m sure she will. Nobody makes bipartisanship as PAINFUL as Susan Collins, with the FAKE NEWS MEDIA hanging on her every word, looking for SOME NEW WAY to use it against President Trump, conservatives, or Republicans in general.
However, even if there were no other reason than the following, my feeling is that Susan Collins holds a Republican seat in a state that could easily be dragged into solid blueness, and she does so by “being Susan Collins”. And what does that mean for us? This lady holding a seat that, against many odds, she shouldn’t?
It means WINNING on key issues and votes.
And most of all, for me, it meant this.
A GOOD MAN – much like Jeff Sessions – was appointed to a post he deserved, in spite of a world of anger, hatred, and LIES raised up against him.
I don’t expect everybody to agree with me. Heck – Wolf Moon from a few years ago doesn’t agree with me on this one. If you feel differently about supporting Susan Collins, no problem. I respect your honest difference of opinion, in a very Collins-like way.
However, I will make one last point – a kind of extrapolation about what Trump teaches on “revenge” as he calls it, but which I prefer to think of as BASIC JUSTICE and TRUTH IN DEALINGS.
The FLIP SIDE of remembering when people are DISLOYAL, and don’t deserve our continued support when they come and ask for it, is that we need to remember when people are LOYAL, so that they ABSOLUTELY CAN get our support when they NEED IT.
This past afternoon I was thinking about what I am going to do for those Sundays coming up when I will be traveling and not able to compose the usual on-the-spot posts that often happen pretty close to the beginning of Sunday (but sometimes arriving a tad bit late to our WQ Tree House).
I thought about an excellent fictional book series that I believe carries many important messages for us in the time we are living in. There’s a good number of books in the series. I could have covered a book per Sunday. But that just didn’t quite fit right.
What to do?
I thought about Psalm 119. Another good basis for a series.
But, no, still not it.
And then I recalled how strongly Candace and Steve’s conversation about the leftist media being cowards struck me yesterday. So there’s that.
Maybe a series based on the qualities of a Patriot? We shall see. But for today, we will ponder the quality of Steadfast Fortitude or Courage.
In church tradition, fortitude is often used when reflecting on the character of the martyrs. Fortitude is closely related to faithfulness, a fruit of the Holy Spirit.
FAITHFULNESS (πίστις)
“God is faithful” (1 Cor. 1:9. cf. Rom. 3:3), not as having faith, but as being constant (cf. 1 Cor. 10:13), trustworthy (cf. 2 Cor. 1:18). It is a divine quality. The martyrs were “faithful unto death” (Rev. 2:10), not vacillating at the face of bodily harm and suffering, imitating thus their Lord “Jesus Christ the faithful martyr” (Rev. 1:5. cf. 3:14).
In lieu of an example from the life of a Saint, we quote the following lines from the Wisdom of Solomon, read in the Vespers service for Martyrs:
“The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be a disaster, and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace.
For though in the sight of others they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of Himself; like gold in the furnace He tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering He accepted them.
In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them forever.
Those who trust in Him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with Him in love, because grace and mercy are upon His holy ones, and He watches over His elect” (Wis. of Sol. 3:1-9).
An important component to fortitude seems to be a quality of perseverance.
Can you think of anyone that has recently demonstrated fortitude in the public arena?
An interesting thought about how one goes about developing fortitude comes from the idea that it is a fruit.
That is, it is something we grow in our character, not something we build or think our way into. It has to come from something we have developed. Like learning to field balls behind 2nd base in baseball. You don’t just go out there and instantly do it well. But it’s not just an internal skill as you might think of will power or the like. No, it’s more like learning to dance.
We are learning to do hard things within the context of our trusting relationship with the One who leads in this dance called life.
And we will not go far without steadfast fortitude.
Today there is a planned confrontation (street brawl?) in Portland.
Oath Keepers have made a statement.
This is a time for discipline.
August 15, 2019
Public Notice: Oath Keepers Will NOT be Participating in the August 17, 2019 “End Domestic Terrorism” Rally in Portland, OR
by Stewart Rhodes
I wish I didn’t have to do this, but it must be done. I must make it clear that Oath Keepers will not be participating in the “End Domestic Terrorism” rally scheduled for this Saturday, August 17, 2019, which is being organized by Joe Biggs and the Proud Boys.
I must also make it clear that Oath Keepers is NOT an organizer of this event, as has been erroneously reported by some media outlets. This event is being organized by Joe Biggs and the Proud Boys, not Oath Keepers. Oath Keepers was invited to attend, but we will not be attending.
We fully support free speech, and we fully agree that Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization that uses force and the threatened use of force to intimidate, silence, and suppress the free speech of Americans. However, we cannot participate in this event for the following reasons: A. We have not seen adequate steps taken by the organizers to exclude known or suspected white nationalists from attending this event. Oath Keepers has a zero tolerance policy for white nationalism or any other ethno-nationalist ideology that discriminates along racial lines (as our bylaws make clear) and we do not, and cannot, knowingly associate with known or suspected white nationalists.
First, we consider white nationalists (along with any other ethno-nationalists) to be dangerous domestic enemies of the Constitution, every bit as deadly to our Republic as the violent communists within Antifa, because white nationalists also hold the Constitution in contempt and wish to overthrow it and replace it with their own desired totalitarian system. On that, the white nationalists and the communists are in agreement. And all of us who swore to defend the Constitution must stand against both of them as clear domestic enemies of the Constitution.
Second, we have a considerable number of active duty military and police in our membership who cannot knowingly associate with racists and we owe it to them to be diligent in avoiding participating in any event where white nationalists will not be actively, stringently excluded.
Third, the left in this nation is desperate to paint all conservatives and, especially, all Trump supporters as “white nationalists” to the point of absurdity. Allowing any actual white nationalists into an event where attendees are encouraged to bring Trump flags as well as American flags would be a grave mistake and does no favors to either President Trump or to the broader conservative cause. Conservatives, libertarians, and Trump supporters must be diligent about making sure the events they organize exclude white nationalists who want the same thing the left wants – to paint the false impression that we agree with their racist, collectivist, anti-constitution agenda (which is exactly why CNN loves to give airtime to the white nationalist troll Richard Spencer, as he desperately tries to tie his Neo-Nazi agenda to Trump).
I want to stress that we at Oath Keepers DO NOT believe that Joe Biggs or Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, the two organizers of this event, are white nationalists. Nor do we believe that the great majority of those groups and individuals who plan on attending the event are white nationalists. But we do not believe the organizers are taking the steps necessary to ensure that white nationalist and suspected white nationalist groups and individuals will be excluded.
A closely related problem is that the organizers have not secured a permit for exclusive use of the Waterfront Park where they will be holding the rally this Saturday in Portland. Yes, they still have a right to free speech, but one of the advantages of securing a permit to use a public space for a particular time is that it allows you to exclude others from using that same space at that time, such as excluding known or suspected white nationalists.
We saw the problems a lack of a permit can bring when we helped to protect a free speech event in Berkeley, CA in April, 2017. That was an un-permitted event, and because the event organizers had not secured a permit for exclusive use of the MLK park, they could not exclude the white nationalists group Identity Evropa from entering the park. Identity Evropa promptly placed themselves and their anti-Semitic, racist signs front and center, facing off with Antifa.
I instructed those under our command in the event security element that under no circumstances were they to allow Identity Evropa to enter our security inner perimeter around the audience and the stage. I was willing to go to jail to prevent Identity Evropa from actually entering the audience for the event, but we could not kick them out of the park. And, of course, the media all focused their cameras on Identity Evropa. We were able to maintain some separation between them and the event we were securing, but it did give Identity Evropa the opportunity to attempt to co-opt the event for their own agenda.
For this event in Portland, in contrast to the April 2017 event in Berkeley, Oath Keepers is not in charge of the security element and, if we attended this Saturday, we would not be able to actively exclude suspected white nationalists as we did in Berkeley. As such, we cannot attend. B. Some of the past rhetoric, public statements, and memes/graphics posted online by the event organizer and by planned attendees expose those who attend the August 17 rally to possible civil and criminal law liability.
We understand the anger and frustration among patriots after watching the footage of the violent Antifa attack on Andy Ngo on June 29, 2019 and the horrific attack on two other patriots that same day. However, angry, undisciplined public statements that can be construed as expressing an intent to come to Portland to seek out Antifa and engage them in street fights and to assault them, and memes posted online to that effect, or worse, do a disservice to anyone who wants to attend a free speech event in protest against Antifa terrorism and against the failure of Portland officials to secure the free speech rights of Americans.
Those angry statements cannot be undone, and despite the organizers and planned attendees subsequently dialing back on the rhetoric, those prior statements are already being used against them by their political opponents and by the leftist dominated media. All of the angry videos,Twitter posts, and incriminating photos, etc by the organizer leading up to this rally have been preserved by Antifa and their supporters. Likewise for memes/graphics posted by planned attendees depicting violence against Antifa.
Further, those prior statements, videos, photos, and memes/graphics by the event organizer and other planned attendees potentially expose all attendees to possible prosecution using both an Oregon state “rioting” statute and a federal rioting statute that was used on some of the attendees of the disastrous Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally in August, 2017 (which Oath Keepers also did NOT attend). Even though the vast majority of the planned attendees for the Portland rally this Saturday have no intention of initiating unlawful violence against Antifa, the prior statements of the event organizer, expressing his intent, can potentially be used against all attendees.
I share the frustrations many patriots feel about the obvious double standard of Antifa having free rein in Portland while patriots are under the microscope. But I cannot and will not expose Oath Keepers members to possible persecution/prosecution because of undisciplined statements made by others, however understandable the anger that prompted the undisciplined statements. Therefore, I must urge all Oath Keepers members to stay clear of this event in Portland on August 17, 2019. C. More Than Ever, This is a Time for Discipline and Professionalism
Because of their own actions, Antifa is currently on the ropes and is on the verge of being declared a domestic terrorist organization. Much has taken place since Joe Biggs first announced his intent to hold this rally. First, on July 13, 2019, the self-identified Antifa terrorist Willem Van Spronsen used a rifle and Molotov cocktails to attack the ICE detention facility in Tacoma, WA. Only by the grace of God was he not able to kill responding officers. Van Spronsen pointed his AR-15 at the officers, but it apparently malfunctioned, and he was shot and killed before he could fix that malfunction. He also failed in his attempt to ignite a 500 lb propane tank. If he had been successful, it could have killed all the personnel and the detainees in the center. Thankfully he was an incompetent terrorist.
Since that attack, Antifa has lauded Van Spronsen as a martyr and an example to follow, and, in the graphics promoting their planned assault on the border in El Paso, Texas September 1-10, Antifa has openly threatened to kill CBP personnel.
And, of course, Antifa widely celebrated the July 12 illegal trespassing at the Aurora, CO ICE facility where protesters tore down the American flag, attempted to burn it, and in its place hoisted up the Mexican flagand also flew a defaced, upside down “blue lives matter” flag with “Abolish ICE” written on it in red.
And most recently, at 3am on August 13, 2019, shots were fired into the occupied ICE offices in San Antonio, Texas.
A maxim of warfare, expressed by Napoleon Bonaparte, is to “never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” Patriots, conservatives, Trump supporters, all need to be disciplined and let Antifa continue to show their true colors. It would be counterproductive to engage in undisciplined activities (or in a rally who’s main organizer made undisciplined statements of intent) that can be construed by the media and politicians to paint patriots as the aggressors and Antifa as the victims.
Frankly, given the prior statements of Joe Biggs that will be used against all attendees of his rally, it would be best for the patriot/conservative cause if this August 17 rally were simply canceled. Those who want to protest the way Portland coddles Antifa should start over, with a clean slate, and then do so in a much more disciplined manner.
In addition to the above noted Antifa terrorism, after the mass shootings in California, El Paso, and Ohio, we are in a decidedly “kinetic” (guns and bombs) environment and we should expect Antifa to use even more deadly force as they go full “Weather Underground” in their revolutionary communist-terrorist trajectory. Expect it.
As such, Oath Keepers will be very disciplined about what events we participate in, and we are currently instructing our members to focus on publicly supporting and directly backing up ICE and CBP personnel in a disciplined, purely defensive posture, using only clearly lawful self defense and defense of others, and to focus on our upcoming operation in El Paso, TX where we will also be assisting in securing private property (including homes) against deadly threat by Antifa.
If the event organizers do continue on with their planned event this Saturday, we sincerely hope it goes off without a hitch and is peaceful and successful. But Oath Keepers will be focusing our resources elsewhere.
For the Republic,
Stewart Rhodes

Well, it’s really quite the hot August and there are a lot of chores to be done around our place. To be honest, the number of really excellent threads inspires me. To not be very wordy. To allow for some strong conversations here…
Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS: I AM PRAYING FOR YOU
You’ve Got To “Know When” Sunday
In researching for the prayer post earlier this week, I came across the following story of a family returning to their home town in Iraq after ISIS was finally driven out. It is told from the perspective of the young daughter and includes video of earlier interviews from the time when her family was in exile in Egypt.
This is a beautiful story of resilience anchored in hope.
Assessing Situations
The lyrics from Kenny Rogers song, The Gambler, succinctly sum up the necessary task of discerning the right response to a high stakes environment. If you judge the situation correctly you can sometimes take in big winnings, just stay in the game for future wins, move on or live another day.

Jesus’ Parable About Investment
Jesus often taught principles of the Kingdom of Heaven using stories (parables). In the following parable, Jesus is gently directing his disciples attention away from their expectation of God’s immediate judgment coming to earth, wiping out their enemies, and the restoration of Paradise for the righteous among them.
As you read through it, consider your own expectations. What you expect from God. From the White Hats. And, most important of all, what do you expect from yourself?
11 While he had their attention, and because they were getting close to Jerusalem by this time and expectation was building that God’s kingdom would appear any minute, he told this story:
12-13 “There was once a man descended from a royal house who needed to make a long trip back to headquarters to get authorization for his rule and then return. But first he called ten servants together, gave them each a sum of money, and instructed them, ‘Operate with this until I return.’ 14 “But the citizens there hated him. So they sent a commission with a signed petition to oppose his rule: ‘We don’t want this man to rule us.’ 15 “When he came back bringing the authorization of his rule, he called those ten servants to whom he had given the money to find out how they had done. 16 “The first said, ‘Master, I doubled your money.’ 17 “He said, ‘Good servant! Great work! Because you’ve been trustworthy in this small job, I’m making you governor of ten towns.’ 18 “The second said, ‘Master, I made a fifty percent profit on your money.’ 19 “He said, ‘I’m putting you in charge of five towns.’ 20-21 “The next servant said, ‘Master, here’s your money safe and sound. I kept it hidden in the cellar. To tell you the truth, I was a little afraid. I know you have high standards and hate sloppiness, and don’t suffer fools gladly.’ 22-23 “He said, ‘You’re right that I don’t suffer fools gladly—and you’ve acted the fool! Why didn’t you at least invest the money in securities so I would have gotten a little interest on it?’ 24 “Then he said to those standing there, ‘Take the money from him and give it to the servant who doubled my stake.’ 25 “They said, ‘But Master, he already has double . . .’ 26 “He said, ‘That’s what I mean: Risk your life and get more than you ever dreamed of. Play it safe and end up holding the bag.“
And so we come to the very heart of this exploration.
How do we assess the appropriate response when the place where we live is in outright rebellion to our Heavenly King and His ways?
Whether it’s Baltimore or Broward County, Cleveland or California, the right move for you and your family will require discernment. We can all agree that these places come with a higher level of toxicity than other places.
What is a Toxic Environment?
Chernobyl comes to mind. But did you know that plant and animal life around the reactor is stronger and more diverse than before the accident? From an Institute for Creation Research article just published this week (emphasis added):
“Interestingly, in addition to this innate resilience to radiation, some plants in the Chernobyl exclusion zone seem to be using extra mechanisms to protect their DNA, changing its chemistry to make it more resistant to damage, and turning on systems to repair it if this doesn’t work [added emphasis].” His observations coincide with research on the progeny of Arabidopsis plants from Chernobyl.
Several Russian scientists discovered that when exposed to high radiation there was a resistance to mutations through a more than 10-fold decreased frequency of extrachromosomal homologous recombination, major differences in the expression of genes controlling DNA-repair and for proteins removing dangerous free radicals, and a higher level of global genome methylation.
Other research on several bird species at Chernobyl found that they also have internal mechanisms for detecting free radical molecules that are a byproduct of radiation exposure and then up-regulate mechanisms for DNA repair.
Because all DNA damage was repaired more quickly, radiation-exposed birds surprisingly “may even obtain beneficial hormetic effects following an adaptive response.”
It is now obvious that creatures have innate mechanisms that enable them to self-adjust to a higher range of radiation than anticipated. The existence of these systems precedes radiation exposure—Chernobyl was a unique radiation producing event—as there has not been enough time for them to have developed due to evolutionary “tinkering” via “trial-and-error” struggles to survive.
… [T]he Institute for Creation Research has been promoting an organism-focused, design-based model of adaptation called Continuous Environmental Tracking (CET).
This model explains what organisms are doing when they adapt. The organism-focused arm of the framework hypothesizes that: organisms possess internal mechanisms that enable them to actively and continuously track environmental variables and respond by self-adjusting to changing environments—which results in their adaptation.
The other design-based arm assumes that these internal mechanisms utilize the same engineering principles that constrain how human-designed objects self-adjust to changes.
CET postulates that how organisms adapt is via innate systems with elements analogous to those within human-engineered tracking systems, namely: input sensors, internal logic mechanisms to select suitable responses, and actuators to execute responses. CET, therefore, expects that the creatures’ self-adjustments would be characterized as regulated, rapid, and targeted to specific challenges.
Growing up, I was mercilessly bullied.
I hated myself because I believed their lies.
The bullies never expected, however, how strong they made me.
As an adult, I choose to be a victor, not a victim.
In the parable above, the foolish servant was a complete failure at adaptation. Maybe he saw the rebellion fomenting and buried his master’s money in hopes of cashing in if the rebellion succeeded. Maybe he just was really afraid of loss and that’s why he hid it.
But look at the admonition of the King to this foolish servant, “Why didn’t you at least invest the money in securities so I would have gotten a little interest on it?”
Apparently, Jesus wants his followers to understand that He rewards smart risk taking for potential gain and will be more pleased with someone gaining a little in a very safe investment rather than not investing what they have been given at all.
Risky Investments: Exhibit A
"I'm not doing this just to have people vote for @realDonaldTrump. I'm not doing this just to have people vote Republican.
If I truly am a conservative activist that cares about my country, then I'm going to do this b/c it's the right thing.
His work reminds me of a story that takes place during the settling of the “promised land” by the Israelites. Certain tribes wanted to settle on the east side of the Jordan river which had already been conquered. This would be allowed, but the stipulation was that they had to agree to send their fighting men to the west side to help take the whole of the land for their nation before they could enjoy the peace of their own territory.
Your wives, your children and your livestock may stay in the land that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, ready for battle, must cross over ahead of your fellow Israelites. You are to help them until the Lord gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land the Lord your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise.” Then they answered Joshua, “Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.”
In Scott’s case, he is traveling around the country to invest his talents in whatever way benefits all patriotic Americans. He is fighting for us! May the Lord guide, protect and equip this young man for what lies ahead in his life.
Risky Investments: Exhibit B
Later in Israel’s history, their land was conquered and the people were carried away captive to Babylon. God gave their prophet, Jeremiah, instructions to help them know how to respond to this upheaval.
“This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon:“Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease.”
Now imagine the risk of following these instructions. What if the situation changes and you are able to return to your homeland quickly? What if the Babylonians decide to relocate you and all your work is for nothing? Quite the risky investment.
And yet, they are told to pour their sweat equity into building houses, growing food and making big families. They are to seek the welfare of the city where they have been placed–while remaining in captivity!
As it turned out, they were there for some 70 years. Those that heeded the words of the prophet would be coming out of captivity strong and prosperous.
Risky Investments: Exhibit C
In the case of the Iraqi Christian family returning to Qaraqosh (mentioned at the top of this article), they are returning to their hometown which has been bombed, looted, nearly destroyed–with about half of the original residents choosing to not return to rebuild. A different set of risks, but certainly made the choice to return and invest in the community they came from instead of seeking refuge in another, perhaps safer, place.
So back to that pesky question…
How do we assess the appropriate response when the place where we live is in outright rebellion to our Heavenly King and His ways?
I don’t think there is a simple answer.
It’s true that for some people there comes a point in time when they just know in their hearts it is time to leave. And for others it is just as clear that they are to stay and “pray to the Lord” on the behalf of the city God has placed them in.
Many will spend a long time working out what is right for them. But that is the journey and no one else can tell anyone what is the right path for another. I have deep respect for anyone that takes that journey. A journey of truly seeking God’s highest and best purpose for them no matter the cost.
May God grant us all discernment, wisdom, and peace in the process. Think *3
