“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
It’s time to fight the Democrat BIGOTS – who tolerate black racism with approval and smirks – just like the criminal ex-KLAN members that they are. And the best place to fight them, is on their own badly managed “social justice” turf.
When gangs of black “yout” kick lone white kids or elderly into a grave or a wheelchair, we citizens with even a shred of decency, recognize the act for what it is.
LYNCHING without a rope.
The evil left creates FAKE LYNCHINGS all the time. We remember the Duke lacrosse team. We remember the Obama years, when legal self-defense against black criminals was turned into a new riot and leftist cause every six months. And most of all, we remember red diaper Marxist Jussie Smollett, who in my opinion CANNOT serve enough time for trying to set America on fire with his LIES about lynching by “MAGA” who were in fact two HIRED African men.
But what is the REAL mob violence that America experiences every day? It’s gangs of black kids, getting somebody down on the ground and kicking the victim to death, paralysis, or months in the hospital.
It’s time to stand up to this heinous crime, and to FORCE the evil Democrats to suckle their wicked monster baby of social injustice in the process.
By making kick-lynching a FEDERAL CRIME, the evil Merrick “Kapo” Garland will be forced to ignore one more law – but his flouting of the law will show America WHY we need Donald Trump in the White House, and a Trump AG in the Department of Justice.
Put the nose of the evil Democrats on the DOG POOP they helped create.
Make their evil spawn go to federal prison AT ANY AGE for their mob violence.
The few outlets like FOX5 that did report on the mob murder of Jonathan Lewis tried to whitewash it by saying he “was severely beaten by a group of 15 people.”
If it had been 15 white people who beat a black person the media would’ve certainly made the races clear. pic.twitter.com/e52Cp6XpPw
Thanks to Darren Beattie, Elon Musk, and Gail Combs, I have been struck by lightning, and can now see the origins of the highly successful “trust and safety” censorship paradigm.
I survey the catastrophe that “Trust & Safety” has been for not only Twitter and Apple, but all of Big Tech, America, and the world, and I cry out “Well played, CCP! Well played!”
And you, my fellow coders who watched it all turn to crap, know I’m right. We did not object to the early assaults on Free Speech, as CHINA slyly moved into our tech businesses, and now we have paid the price.
Or if we really want to be complete…..
The part about “can’t code” welcoming in the Trojan Horse is important. In my opinion and experience, it was the non-coding “verbal world” of bureaucratic policy which welcomed “trust and safety”, then forcing it on the more mathematical geek world which had once been a bastion of honesty, truth, and freedom.
Free speech mattered to old tech. Not so much to the people who took control of tech.
This is relevant, in that WOMEN tend to show up as the cops, police chiefs and ambassadors of “trust and safety”. It’s a very female and “beta male” thing, even at the high levels.
BEFORE ELON:
After Elon:
Yeah, those pictures are a bit of an unfair comparison, because they’re different company functions as well, but in other ways, that in itself is exactly the problem.
Coders versus the people who tell them what to do. Twitter was filled with chiefs and not enough Indians.
ALTHOUGH perhaps one too many……
NOW PROVEN: Vijaya Gadde had more interference in the US election than Russia ever did.
This corporate cultural insanity ("satire is dangerous") was a product of the cultural over-feminization of Twitter, steeped in woke, into which was seeded the "problem" of free speech and the "solution" of moderation. Then add authoritarian influence by Eric Holder and DOJ. https://t.co/iReTmDGI4qpic.twitter.com/SrlDJNvENV
Yoel Roth’s problems don’t end with his refusal to “manspread” like a man, but the problems surely start there. Any “man” who is threatened by the Babylon Bee needs help, not power.
Turns out that Eric Holder’s former chief of staff was the head of censorship at Apple for quite a while, including the 2020 election.
Here is the brief version of what happened. Please go to the original for the full story. I am only including a highly edited snippet of the middle of the story (and yet it’s VERY long).
FTA…..
The current head of Apple Trust and Safety is someone who is clearly aware of the value of having a low profile online. Look for details on Jessica Gimarc-Savini and you’ll find her sparse LinkedIn page, her (lesbian) wedding page, and not much else.
While we know little about Jessica Savini, we can learn much from a profile of her predecessor, former head of Trust and Safety at Apple Margaret Richardson.
Richardson served as Apple’s top trust and safety figure from August 2020 through May 2022.
As you read the following, keep in mind that Apple is the largest company in the world, with a market capitalization of $2.3 trillion dollars. Its annual revenues exceed the GDP of most U.S. states. It’s annual net profits are worth more than the GDP of Bulgaria. Apple might as well be a country unto itself, and a powerful one at that. Of all of the people they could have chosen to be the key decision maker for content moderation and safety — that is, censorship — you’d think they’d at least choose someone with the appearance of moderation and lack of political bias.
Think again.
While Richardson wisely avoided tweeting during her tenure at Apple, at her previous job, first as “director of global policy” and then “director of trust” as Airbnb, Richardson was entirely unrestrained. Her still-extant tweets from August 2020 and before give a stark demonstration of her thinking, a perpetually-spinning hamster wheel of stock left-wing political tropes. For starters, Richardson’s Twitter banner screams “Black Lives Matter”!
But that’s only scratching the surface.
Dig back through 5+ years of tweets and retweets, and you see a type that is disturbingly common: A person’s whose public life consists almost wholly of mindlessly affirming, then reaffirming, and then re-reaffirming, far-left and liberal partisan orthodoxies.
It’s not that any one tweet from Richardson is particularly bad. It’s that that’s all there is. She never strays into talking about her family or her favorite books or even, say, her favorite vacation spots (she was working at a lodging company, after all!). It’s just the current partisan lib obsession du jour, every time, with ruthless tedium.
Richardson isn’t just deeply ideological, pro-BLM, and so forth. She’s also narrowly and almost pettily partisan.
If this was your barista at Starbucks, or a Congressional staffer, or heck, an ordinary Apple engineer, this would be rather lame but unremarkable. But this is the person Apple chose to lead its Trust and Safety division, the person chosen to be head censor at the most powerful company in the world. This is the person who was empowered to make crucial, politically-loaded decisions during one of the most hotly-contested elections in American history.
Five months after Richardson started at Apple, the company made one of the most ideologically aggressive cancellations ever when it banned Parler from its app store. While Apple works hard to obscure its decision-making process, Richardson was without a doubt central to that decision, and with her involved, it wasn’t a surprising one. In April 2022, shortly before she left, the company also committed itself to a ridiculous internal “racial equity audit.”
So, where did this person come from? Well, just looking at her tweets, one notices that Richardson doesn’t just have a habit of boosting left-wing causes. She has a noticeable preference for boosting senior figures from the Obama Administration itself — Valerie Jarrett, Arne Duncan, John Kerry, and so forth. Richardson was particularly active when President Trump dismissed acting attorney general Sally Yates for insubordination after she refused to enforce his executive order implementing a travel ban on several nations linked to Islamic terrorism.
This isn’t random.
After earning dual degrees in law from UC-Berkeley and in public policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School, Richardson spent three years working at a free legal clinic in the Bay Area. From there, she went to the Obama campaign, and after his election she joined the Justice Department as a top adviser to Eric Holder, eventually ascending to become his chief of staff.
Wolf again….
SO – I hope that is crystal clear.
The Obama-Holder DOJ directly controlled Apple’s view of “acceptable content” during the engineered fall of the Trump administration (a.k.a. “The Coup”) as well as first two years of the Biden administration.
This is exactly why I absolutely cannot stand Apple News, for it’s horrible, judgmental, left-wing slant.
If you read the rest of the Revolver article, it is VERY clear that the “Trust and Safety” racket is largely an infiltration of Big Tech by an ideology centered on Eric Holder and the DOJ.
In my opinion, Trust & Safety in Big Tech was ultimately a downstream effect of the disastrous Obamacare website, which was used to “lure in” Big Tech for what became an infection operation.
People who had no idea how to deal with criminals and communists were sheep led to the slaughter.
SO – back to Twittergate.
I didn’t really make the connection of Twitter’s “Trust and Safety” machine to DOJ, until Elon Musk revealed The Twitter Files to the world, via left-trusted journalist Matt Taibbi, in a massive act of transparency.
Somewhere in the middle of Matt Taibbi’s tweet-thread, I realized that Apple and Twitter were undoubtedly similar stories – and that Eric Holder likely had an insider at Twitter.
17. On October 14, 2020, the New York Post published BIDEN SECRET EMAILS, an expose based on the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop: https://t.co/q4zaMw6aVV
19. White House spokeswoman Kaleigh McEnany was locked out of her account for tweeting about the story, prompting a furious letter from Trump campaign staffer Mike Hahn, who seethed: “At least pretend to care for the next 20 days.” pic.twitter.com/CcXTfsdzCT
23. The decision was made at the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey, with former head of legal, policy and trust Vijaya Gadde playing a key role.
https://t.co/j4EeXEAw6F can see the confusion in the following lengthy exchange, which ends up including Gadde and former Trust and safety chief Yoel Roth. Comms official Trenton Kennedy writes, “I'm struggling to understand the policy basis for marking this as unsafe”: pic.twitter.com/w1wBMlG33U
But THIS is where the DOJ comes back into things. The next tweet (28) is like discovering Eric Holder working at Twitter.
28. To which former Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker again seems to advise staying the non-course, because “caution is warranted”: pic.twitter.com/tg4D0gLWI6
Crooked FBI Lawyer James Baker, the main architect of Spygate was involved in Twitter's Decision to Suppress Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell Story!!!https://t.co/2oTfJrufII
I had figured there was some Holder groupie analogous to Richardson at Apple, inside Twitter’s Trust & Safety apparatus. I had no idea that Holder’s henchman – THE Jim Baker, fired as part of Spygate – was there.
Let’s just look at that Jim Baker message more closely…..
This is an incredible stall tactic. Twitter can hold off the truth forever with this thinking.
Note how the “hacked materials” policy is already anti-journalism, but combine it with a DOJ Obama/Hillary toadie INSTALLED INSIDE TWITTER, and, it’s every bit like Apple. Complete DOJ commie control.
SO – it’s clear that “Trust and Safety” is a DOJ gig – right?
How could this possibly be worse?
The trick is understanding the “environmental push” for “Trust and Safety” over free speech, which overwhelmed both government and tech. It almost certainly had foreign help.
Gail Combs Exposes Trust-and-Safetygate
Today, Gail posted a series of deep dives into the subject of where much of the “trust and safety” censorship has appeared and festered in both government and Big Tech – spilling over into everything, including elections, journalism, STEM, and even White House policymaking.
The big picture blew me away, as I saw how successful this movement was, in transforming our own government and national security complex away from freedom and toward CCP-style totalitarianism, without even being fully understood by the victims.
Some of the CCP infiltration is obvious – some of it is not.
I present it to you now, largely unedited except by Gail herself, in preparing it for this post. I have also taken the liberty of embedding the videos by hand, rather than just leaving links. I have further included some comments that Gail left out, because I feel they are still important, even though she did not.
From BadKitty’s Thread — The KEY INFO showing GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP IMPACTING ELECTIONS!!!
They also submit reported tweets to CISA at DHS. Boom!
DHS puts on its CISA website for election misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation to be reported to Misinformation@Cisecurity. (NGO Katie Hobbs used for reporting.)
RUMOR CONTROL PAGE START-UP GUIDE Misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation (MDM) can present risks to the election infrastructure community, its owners and operators, and the public. MDM can spread quickly, causing rumors to undermine facts.
The risks of MDM range from undermining confidence in institutions to activating and inspiring dangerous behaviors and violence. This Rumor Control Page Start-Up Guide is for organizations seeking to dispel specific MDM narratives through transparent and authoritative information. Designed for use by state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) government officials and private sector partners, this guide cites the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Rumor Control page as a model for debunking inaccurate narratives. The recommendations in this guide are not intended to be one-size-fits-all and should be adapted to the capabilities and resources available, as well as the MDM risks facing the community. Organizations should only set up a rumor control webpage related to issues for which they have access to information and expertise necessary to properly dispel MDM narratives and articulate facts. Each organization that plans to set up a rumor control page may want to consult with the appropriate organization legal counsel, if possible, prior to beginning operations. What is a rumor control page? A rumor control page is a web page that offers the public accurate and authoritative sources of information which will help address common MDM narratives. It is provided by a trusted voice to either preempt or respond to developing narratives. Credible messengers are most effective at disproving falsehoods. A rumor control page should not be considered the sole source of truth, rather it should drive people to seek more information about a complex subject by directing them to other trustworthy sources.
With a rumor control page, election officials and stakeholders can dispel rumors about the systems and assets they manage and have unique insight into. Some election offices may already have public information websites, which commonly include a “Frequently Asked Questions” page and/or press releases that seek to clarify information. In this sense, a rumor control page can be viewed as an extension of existing efforts….
It is important to note that a rumor control page is only one element of a successful MDM response strategy. Improving resilience of elections to MDM also requires reporting MDM narratives. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) was established to support the cybersecurity needs of the election subsector. The CIS can be leveraged to report real-time MDM via email at misinformation@cisecurity.org

Breaking thread! The CCP is heavily involved with the majority of orgs involved in disinformation work, social media, and targeting of conservatives as extremists thru the Carnegie Endowments. What’s worse is Bidens CIA director was president of Carnegie Endowments from 2015-2021 pic.twitter.com/GZgdfNBQcQ
Texas Republican Rep. Lance Gooden called on CIA Director William Burns to address his “strong ties” to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) while formerly heading an elite Washington, D.C., think tank, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
At least 20 undisclosed CCP members worked at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace during Burns’ presidency of the think tank, the DCNF recently reported.
“Evidence would suggest Director Burns lied under oath during his confirmation hearing,” Gooden told the DCNF, referring to Burns’ February 2021 CIA confirmation hearing.
Texas Republican Rep. Lance Gooden called on CIA Director William Burns to address his “strong ties” to the Chinese Communist Party while formerly heading an elite Washington, D.C., think tank, according to a letter shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation Monday….
“The vast influence the CCP had at Carnegie during your tenure as president and the continued influence they have today — despite claims you made at your confirmation hearing that you had ended the CCP’s influence — presents a significant lapse in judgment and brings into question your ability to identify and mitigate national security risks,” Gooden’s letter said.

The Department of Homeland Security has hired the former chairman of the Election Assistance Commission, Matt Masterson, to help federal, state, and local authorities coordinate cybersecurity efforts ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, the department announced Monday. Masterson will serve as senior cybersecurity adviser within the National Protection and Programs Directorate’s Office of Cybersecurity and Communications. “There are few who have Matt’s experience working with all levels of government and the private sector to protect our nation’s election systems. His wealth of experience and depth of knowledge make him highly respected on both sides of the aisle,” Chris Krebs, NPPD senior official performing the duties of the undersecretary, said in a statement. Krebs added that Masterson’s previous work as chief information officer in the Ohio secretary of state’s office and at the EAC “significantly advanced” the country’s cybersecurity efforts.
Matthew Masterson, former chairman of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, has been named senior adviser for the Department of Homeland Security‘s cybersecurity unit, Washington Examiner reported Monday.
DHS expects Masterson to continue working with federal, state and local officials to protect election systems against cyber threats.
He served as EAC commissioner for nearly four years, following his nomination by then President Barack Obama and subsequent confirmation by the Senate in late 2014.
Masterson previously held various positions within the Ohio secretary of state’s office, where he managed voting system certification procedures and led the development of online voter registry and ballot delivery platforms for military and overseas voters.
Christopher Cox Krebs (born 1977) is an American attorney who served as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in the United States Department of Homeland Security from November 2018 until November 17, 2020 when President Donald Trump fired Krebs for contradicting Trump’s claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.[1]

MUST READ about her views on ‘Disinformation’ Interesting tidbit”…we need to encourage more technologists to lend their expertise to support better policy-making, through incubators like Aspen’s Tech Policy Hub….”
…..Much of your current work lies at the intersection of tech and policy, focusing on issues like disinformation and online safety. How did you first become interested in these issues?
JFK once said, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.” In a similar way to how JFK committed the nation to the ambitious goal of landing on the moon,I believe the field of “trust and safety” (including online safety / disinformation), is the most difficult challenge of this decade that technology companies, governments, civil society, and internet users must stand united behind.
This is a challenge we need to win. From live-streamed mass shootings, terrorist content, online sexual exploitation and conspiracy theories, to election interference, there are endless problems that require collaboration, starting with strengthened dialogue. I have always been fascinated with how people behave online, and I spend my free time evaluating how people behave on social media. I especially love testing and exploring new technology platforms to understand the new ways in which people interact and connect with one another.
However, I was first exposed to the offline consequences of fake news and misinformation while I was at Microsoft in early 2014. At Microsoft I was managing a partnership program focused on growing the capacity of libraries in Myanmar to serve as trustworthy information hubs. We piloted new platforms and approaches to tackle digital and information challenges in the lead-up to the country’s critical 2015 general elections, the first time the nation could participate in a democratic vote after nearly 50 years of military rule. Over the span of months,I saw firsthand the impact of rampant disinformation as Facebook unintentionally introduced the country to a new digital era that causing offline chaos, violence, and eventually, ethnic genocide.
Years later, I joined the US Government as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence’ where I served as the CTO of two teams within the Department of Homeland Security focused on online safety issues, ranging from terrorist use of the internet, to foreign influence operations and election security. Most recently, I worked with human rights defenders, civil society groups, and policy professionals at Mozilla, evaluating regulatory policies and tools around harmful content online. My Passion for problem solving in this space was cultivated by these experiences.
What particular questions/challenges have you been tackling recently, and why is now the right time to address these?
Over the last year, I have been building a new organization to support and advance the trust and safety profession through a shared community of practice. Today the biggest challenge in trust and safety is the lack of formalized training and support for the professionals that determine and enforce acceptable content policies and behavior online.Professionals working in trust and safety teams at technology companies are tasked with adjudicating what is acceptable behavior or content, while also protecting free speech, user safety, and society. Trust and safety teams are also asked to make difficult decisions to protect users, while also having limited support from product and engineering teams to carry out and enforce these policies at scale.
There has never been a better time to support trust and safety professionals and to do their best work. Due to recent media coverage of content moderation, there has been more awareness of the psychological and mental health risks associated with content review that impact employee wellness.
As fake news and misinformation has gone rampant in election processes, governments around the world have threatened regulation or fines for the inability of timely content review and removal. Some countries, like Germany, have introduced and are enforcing such regulations. Hate speech that stays online in Germany for more than 24 hours can accrue a fine of €50 million under Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz. Examples like these have led companies to invest more resources in their trust and safety operations and have more transparency in their decision-making practices.
Furthermore, technology companies are increasingly realizing the impact that toxic users and behavior have on “user churn” and bottom line.
“Advertisers like Unilever have threatened to take their marketing budgets elsewhere if platforms don’t mitigate the spread of toxic content or toxic users.”
Are certain types of misinformation more dangerous than others? What criteria should companies use to evaluate whether a piece of content should be removed from their platform as misinformation?
The perceived danger of misleading content is a key element that influences the way many companies prioritize and investigate removal. Misinformation can include false or misleading information, ranging from rumors, gossip, errors, propaganda. While misinformation can be harmless (i.e married celebrity having an affair), information can become dangerous when the content has offline or behavioral consequences for users and goes viral (i.e. drinking diluted bleach will prevent you from COVID-19 infections).
When evaluating misinformation, companies can evaluate the actor behind the campaign, the behavior of the post (is it a bot network?), and the context of the content to determine how to prioritize removal. Other times, misinformation is automatically detected by AI/machine learning or flagged manually by users reporting the post
One challenging part of misinformation is when content is further bolstered by recommendation engines and algorithms, originally designed to heighten user engagement but now leaving users in partisan and polarized filter bubbles.
When Someone searches for content reinforcing fake science such as the flat earth theory, they become stuck in a “rabbit hole”of other conspiracy theories unknowingly, of which many include content from the anti vaccine movement. To Counteract this, AI researchers like Guillaume Chaslot have advocated internet platforms to have increased algorithmic transparency.…

This interest led me to research things like nationalism, propaganda, and language engineering in my undergrad, and later in the 2010s, to start analyzing how influence operations were changing in a Digital Age. That research, which covered political campaigns and alternative media outlets, led me to work with militaries, major tech platforms, and civil society organizations—and ultimately to pursue a Ph.D. in War Studies at King’s College London….
The disinformation landscape surrounding the 2020 elections was so different than what we saw in 2016, with domestic, verified users supplanting bots and fake accounts, and new narratives focusing on both Covid and electoral fraud. The actors, behaviors, and content keep changing. How do you see the disinformation landscape evolving in the future? I’m not sure it’s the information environment changing quickly so much as our focus on what happens within it shifting. In researching the U.S. primary election in 2016, it was apparent that domestic actors were likely far more active and prevalent than any foreign actors, and this was later confirmed in Benkler, Faris, and Roberts’ Network Propaganda. The disclosure that Russian actors were actively running influence operations made for more shocking news, whereas disentangling the complex web of domestic actors can be difficult and highly politicized. The role of domestic actors engaging in influence operations has certainly come to the fore in the wake of the attack on Congress on 6 January. One major challenge in understanding the information environment is that research tends to focus on threat actors, tactics, and the content they produce, often in the form of case studies— interesting and informative, but fairly narrow in scope. Unless it is all brought together in bigger meta studies, it leaves us focused on the last bad thing that happened, which is not great for being strategic about addressing the problem. To that end, I think we need to move towards a more systemic understanding about disinformation and influence operations, looking at the wider information environment in which these things occur to find patterns that might offer a warning where the next problem is emerging. That would allow us to intervene sooner.

It is provided by a trusted voice to either preempt or respond to developing narratives. Credible messengers are most effective at disproving falsehoods. A rumor control page should not be considered the sole source of truth, rather it should drive people to seek more information about a complex subject by directing them to other trustworthy sources. >>With a rumor control page, election officials and stakeholders can dispel rumors about the systems and assets they manage and have unique insight into. Some election offices may already have public information websites, which commonly include a “Frequently Asked Questions” page and/or press releases that seek to clarify information. In this sense, a rumor control page can be viewed as an extension of existing efforts….

This stuff is just off-the-charts suspicious to me.
The Big Picture – CCP Subversion and Influence
I’m going to let people draw their own conclusions here. I’m not going to do anything other that talk about my own experiences with Chinese spies and assets in tech. You do the math.
It is beyond any doubt that the CULTURE of “trust and safety” is off-the-charts CCP in tone. There is SMOKE everywhere. And where there is smoke, there is probably fire.
It is my suspicion that “trust and safety” is filled with CCP-bots of various kinds, both Chinese and non-Chinese. However, diagnosing a spy from a non-spy is difficult, and requires an enormous amount of personal knowledge. I may have suspicions, but they are little more than that. Some may think I have TOO MANY suspicions, and that is fine.
However, it is my opinion that anybody with a potential CCP spy or asset background (thus including non-Chinese Americans) who strongly advocates or (even more tellingly) creates outcomes for things which serve CCP’s interests, and which oppose freedom-loving Americans’ interests, needs to be treated as such, particularly in regards to sensitive information or access. Just my opinion.
CCP loves to use women spies, operatives, and agents of influence, just like CIA. CCP girl spies are not just out of the mainland – many come out of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, England, Canada, America, and Latin America. Having them come out of somewhere other than the mainland, gives them a lot of flexibility, by lowering people’s guard and defenses.
CCP girl spies are smart, and the ones in tech tend to be excellent at both the coding side AND the schmoozing, verbal, business and policy side. They will sometimes HIDE one side of their abilities, if that deception is useful. However, in many cases, they will leverage both sides openly.
ChiSpies are often (but not always) among the most relentless social climbers you will ever meet. It’s the job – get as high as they can, targeting higher and higher up the chain. The Russian spies Maria Butina and Anna Chapman were the same way. I saw this much more often with the women than the men. The men tended to be far less obvious in trying to make new connections, whereas the women were extremely socially focused.
Many CCP spies are what I call “two-steppers”, which involve two generations of family as a form of cover. The parents may appear in America as refugees or economic migrants, being apolitical or (less often) even anticommunist. They may come from a place or background which throws off suspicion. The child, however, ends up in a sensitive position, and engages in actions, both of which clearly serve CCP interests. Thus, “two steps” to achieve a solid and easily dismissed infiltration.
CCP spy girls will often change their stories quickly and believably when questioned. They are quite good at planting false or compromising background information in social networks, although men tend to be used when planting something directly to another man, as a technique of peer influence.
Washington is the perfect environment for CCP players, because the operatives don’t stick out. The culture is one of influence and networking, so it looks like everybody else. ChiSpies tend to stick out more in the hinterlands.
Non-Chinese who carry water for CCP can be of many different types. Many are CCP allies, such as old Russian communists, American leftists, American rightists with economic ties to China, or dupes who become personally or professionally involved with agents.
It is important to understand that CCP operatives can have dramatically negative effects on other nations without doing ANYTHING illegal. I saw this form of stealthy sabotage over and over in tech. Just by burying into a key position and turning into an unremovable goldbrick, a CCP operative can create negative effects that have an organization chasing its tail. With only a bit more effort, such as engineered incompetence, organizations can be made weak, unprofitable, and ripe for takeover.
I put the “Trust and Safety” movement in this category of organizational sabotage. I think this entire movement serves CCP goals, and not American interests.
Others may disagree. They may assert that China helped America, if anything, by supporting “trust and safety” in any ways that it did, such as by providing “moderation” services.
To those who might think so, I simply add one more “unit” to my previous assessment of “4”.
REALLY? Should we take this criticism from an FBI agent?
Or is blaming Christians just more “Battered Christian Syndrome”?
More “blame the victim”?
Or are Christians SUPPOSED to actually risk some battering?
It’s certainly BRAVE to make this claim to fellow Christians.
And FBI?
Well…….
Complicated business.
I’ll be brief. This is a possibly tough or angering, but definitely necessary read, which argues very effectively that “pure politics” and “no politics” are not places where Christians should be. We must strive to CHANGE THE WORLD. It is our SLACK in doing so, which has led to the sorry state of the planet, with SATANISTS, SCOUNDRELS, and CRIMINALS in charge.
Yeah, that’s a tough message, after losing to CHEATING. But why are they cheating? BECAUSE THEY CAN and BECAUSE THEY WILL – and both of those are because we have not been culturally effective. This article actually “goes there in kindness” with the internal rightness and external wrongness of American Christianity’s “Church Lady” insularity, wrapped up in a slap of TURTLEHEAD McCONNELL.
So how can we integrate politics into Christian living without being corrupted by the mendacity and horror of current American politics?
Some of that may involve cementing and guarding the places where truth and justice are safe (the “Aubergine strategy” in real life, and the “Wolf strategy” in cyberspace), but some of it involves going out and winning the world for GOD, just like Paul did, armed with every weapon that CHRIST gave him.
Perhaps we have not been doing as much of the latter as we could.
And perhaps not “perhaps”.
I’m not saying I have the final answer, but I see that the region where the answer lies does NOT exclude POLITICAL SAVVY, SUBSERVIENT TO GOD.
We can whine about the lackluster results of the 2022 mid-term election cycle — there’s plenty of blame to share. Certainly top Republicans like Senator Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy bear direct responsibility.
Republicans seem poised to wrest power from the totalitarian Democrats in the House. This victory should not be discounted, despite the thinner than hoped for margin. …
…American Christians have desperately tried to believe that politics can be left to secularists who besmirch themselves with temporal concerns — as good fundamental, Bible-believing Christians, we’ll just lock ourselves in our prayer closets, cloister ourselves in our sanctified communities, and pull up the draw-bridge in front of our Christian schools.
At the risk of being branded a heretic, I must assert, good Christian, your prayers are not enough.
For far too long we’ve whistled past the graveyard, dithering about the inconsequential virtues like skirts versus pants, blind to the reality that we’ve succumbed to the same sinful myopathy that possessed medieval scholasticists, who quarreled uselessly about how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.
All the while, the infernal forces of tyranny have marched forward, gobbling up the entire structure of American education, the arts, entertainment, and politics.
The Bible is replete with examples of men and women of what we would call political action. The Apostle Paul insinuated himself in the culture and, by extension, the politics of his time. …
…having arrived at Athens, Paul “disputed” with the Jews in their synagogues and “in the market daily with them that met with him.” (Acts 17:17) The Athens market would have been the equivalent of our public place of discourse.
That means, if Paul were still walking the face of the earth, you just might see his Twitter feed.
A suit and tie are ennobling things, but they are mere rags if they are a substitute for a monk’s habit. Far too many Christians mistake arrogance for piety and cowardice for meekness.
…..Christendom must rediscover the apostolic formula of prayer, piety, and action or watch liberty devolve into totalitarianism. Loosen your tie, hang up the frock, and become relevant again.
Christians have lost the culture, in part by lionizing “full-time Christian service.” Anywhere a Christian is called, is his or her place of “full-time Christian service.” There is no inherent virtue in teaching at a Christian school. Virtue lies in obeying the call of God, and what is sorely needed are men and women of faith in the “secular vocations,” impacting culture at its source. A wise man once said that for the Christian, “there is no difference between the sacred and the secular.”
It’s great knowing you’re on the winning side, but countless battles still rage wherein nations may rise or fall. Quit acting like you’ve won the war when the enemy still rages across the battlefield.
…..Christians possess the most powerful weapon in cultural warfare, The Word of God. But, if you’re not engaged in the culture or in politics, you’ve no standing to complain about lousy results or cultural rot.
[Final judgment STRAIGHT FROM THE WORDS OF CHRIST.]
This is where I am now seeing the need to BRING OUR COMMS INTO THE REAL WORLD.
That means networking – not only with the LIKE-MINDED, but with the WINNABLE – and trusting that GOD will finish the job, using CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT OF TRUTH.
The TRUTH we gain here must be SPREAD to the world, and the NEEDS of the world must be brought back here to share among ourselves, and with our readership.
We need to be a reactor of TRUTH that IRRADIATES and ILLUMINATES a cold and dark world.
It’s time to let that radiation and illumination SHINE.
You will see more specifics from me as we move forward.
Our purpose is unchanged, but we WILL be more effective.
LIGHT INTO DARKNESS.

NOTE: This piece was written BEFORE Trump announced his 2024 presidential candidacy, and apart from minor editing for style and notation of John Nantz’s background, it remains almost unchanged.
As a young science student in the 1970s, I never would have thought that I would have to correct the American and global media over an issue of late 19th century basic science, but yet, here we are.
When basic theories of MATTER and CHEMISTRY proved that “Compound A created by one route has the same properties as compound A created by a different route”, science got a hold of a very simple but very revolutionary idea – that substances had assignable responsibilities for things. Further still, that we could PROVE THIS, and then use it in both diagnosis and cures.
This was the beginnings of the scientific theory of DRUGS and PHARMACEUTICALS.
I was PART OF THIS INDUSTRY. I learned about its history. I marveled at its beautiful truth.
But yet NOW – shamefully – to defend a corrupt pharmaceutical industry that literally controls our government, on behalf of other governments, our media will without shame DENY the most basic truths about how drugs and biochemicals work.
What is even MORE SHAMEFUL is that the global pharmaceutical industry KNOWS that I’m right – and yet in CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE, they allow the idiot media to defend them with insanity that THEY THEMSELVES swept away 150 years ago.
SO – what I am going to do here is to SHAME OUR MEDIA – our unscientific media – for embracing VOODOO theories of disease, as 150-year-old BASIC SCIENCE stares them in the face.
Let me begin by stating the bottom line right up front.
Anybody who thinks that cardiovascular pathology in recipients of spike protein vaccines is due to anything other than those very same spike protein antigens – which were BORROWED FROM THE DISEASE that causes the very same cardiovascular pathology – is denying the most basic science of drugs and disease.
Let me state that just a little MORE clearly.
It is impossible for vaccines to use a known molecular pathogen as an antigen, and NOT engender risk of pathogenicity due to that very same molecular pathogen.
Do you understand this?
If you take a poison to gain immunity to the poison, and you suffer poisoning typical of the poison, it was probably the poison, and probably not “stress”.
Good GOD – I cannot believe that I actually have to SAY THIS to adults in America in 2021, almost 2022.
But lets keep beating this into mushy skulls……
COVID-19 does bad cardiovascular things
COVID-19 virus has a spike protein
the spike protein is how COVID-19 does the cardiovascular bad things
the spike protein is how the vaccines “pretend” to be COVID-19
the spike protein by itself does the cardiovascular bad things
vaccines CREATING spike protein can thus do the cardiovascular bad things
This is actually very simple, because it’s OLD science.
Here is how we might play it out with the poisonous protein “ricin”.
ricin is a poisonous protein
we could try to make a vaccine against ricin, using ricin
we could give people an mRNA vaccine that “makes” ricin in their cells
the recipients would then have antibodies against ricin
some people who would get the vaccine would get ricin poisoning
the idea that the ricin poisoning was due to “stress” would be absurd
Are you starting to see this?
TO HYPOTHESIZE that GIVING a poison to a person, where the recipient then GETS poisoning typical of that poison, is not in fact RESPONSIBLE for causing the poisoning typical of the poison you just gave the person, is NUTS.
Actually, it’s beyond that – it’s NUCKING FUTS.
To hypothesize that there is some mysterious “stress” that causes EXPECTED SIDE EFFECTS from what we just gave the person, is so ridiculous, I could actually call upon the NIH to publicly CONDEMN major media for going along with this stuff – except for one thing.
The pharmaceutical companies that CONTROL the NIH AND the media are in fact the ones that make the poison and sell the product, and are trying to deny the obvious side effects of the poison.
WELL THAT’S GREAT.
Well, at least *I* spoke the truth.
Now – you may be wondering why I have not even pointed to a REFERENCE yet.
Well, not only is this stuff that EVERY college graduate should understand – MOST high school graduates should understand it, too.
In fact, anybody who has taken a fucking aspirin should understand this.
“If you take aspirin, and you have a side effect typical of aspirin, it was probably due to the aspirin, and not voodoo stress.”
This is SCIENCE. This is BASIC. FREAKING. SCIENCE.
It is SO basic, it is not in the literature. It is assumed that you understand this to even be able to begin to READ the scientific literature.
It is time to call people to account for these most basic things.
I want you to understand the following.
On honesty alone, I am more qualified to be the CEO of Pfizer than is Albert Bourla.
If Bourla does not explain this most basic truth to the people of the world, then he is a scientific FRAUD.
If Anthony Fauci does not explain this most basic truth to the people of the world, then he, too, is a scientific FRAUD.
I told you the truth. Bourla did not. Fauci did not.
Please find more and better copies of this street-corner speech!!!
I will add them here.
Yeah, we know this stuff, but this is like the “check-mark red pill” that seals the deal and shows the URGENCY of turning this shit over. This old boy puts it all together in a way that simply cannot be denied.
We have to stop it COLD.
What I want people to do is to IDENTIFY all things we need to do RIGOROUSLY in order to save businesses and stop this process.
We have to begin IMMEDIATELY.
I want TWO classes of actions / inactions.
(1) What must WE as individuals do or not do.
(2) What must politicians do or not do.
The LATTER (and how it affects the FORMER) is how we will TEST the WHEAT from the CHAFF.
Better hope that TEAM TRUMP is paying attention. Because WE ARE.
Sundance has a great article up right now, in which he shows why his warning about Western COVID authoritarianism is coming true, by highlighting a speech by Vladimir Putin.
Let me back up a bit.
Sundance has been saying that the increasing authoritarianism and brutality of the Western “democracies” over COVID mandates, is placing those countries (including the USA) in the dangerous position of giving real credibility to human rights criticisms by Russia, China and Iran.
He has ALSO been saying that this unearned credibility has significant geopolitical consequence.
Sundance has WARNED, that as Western criticisms of Russia and China grow more hypocritical, those same Western countries will NOT be able to object, much less react, to aggressive moves by Russia and China.
I urge you to go read Sundance’s thoughts – UNTIL you get to the translated transcript of Vladimir Putin’s amazing speech. Sundance only provides the most highly relevant part of the speech.
I want you to come back here, and read THE WHOLE DAMN SPEECH.
I will save my thoughts for the end. It’s much more profitable if you read his speech yourselves, and come to the same conclusions independently, which I am sure you will.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin:
Ladies and gentlemen,
To begin with, I would like to thank you for coming to Russia and taking part in the Valdai Club events.
As always, during these meetings you raise pressing issues and hold comprehensive discussions of these issues that, without exaggeration, matter for people around the world. Once again, the key theme of the forum was put in a straightforward, I would even say, point-blank manner: Global Shake-up in the 21st Century: The Individual, Values and the State.
Indeed, we are living in an era of great change. If I may, by tradition, I will offer my views with regard to the agenda that you have come up with.
In general, this phrase, “to live in an era of great change,” may seem trite since we use it so often. Also, this era of change began quite a long time ago, and changes have become part of everyday life. Hence, the question: are they worth focusing on? I agree with those who made the agenda for these meetings; of course they are.
In recent decades, many people have cited a Chinese proverb. The Chinese people are wise, and they have many thinkers and valuable thoughts that we can still use today. One of them, as you may know, says, “God forbid living in a time of change.” But we are already living in it, whether we like it or not, and these changes are becoming deeper and more fundamental. But let us consider another Chinese wisdom: the word “crisis” consists of two hieroglyphs – there are probably representatives of the People’s Republic of China in the audience, and they will correct me if I have it wrong – but, two hieroglyphs, “danger” and “opportunity.” And as we say here in Russia, “fight difficulties with your mind, and fight dangers with your experience.”
Of course, we must be aware of the danger and be ready to counter it, and not just one threat but many diverse threats that can arise in this era of change. However, it is no less important to recall a second component of the crisis – opportunities that must not be missed, all the more so since the crisis we are facing is conceptual and even civilisation-related. This is basically a crisis of approaches and principles that determine the very existence of humans on Earth, but we will have to seriously revise them in any event. The question is where to move, what to give up, what to revise or adjust. In saying this, I am convinced that it is necessary to fight for real values, upholding them in every way.
Humanity entered into a new era about three decades ago when the main conditions were created for ending military-political and ideological confrontation. I am sure you have talked a lot about this in this discussion club. Our Foreign Minister also talked about it, but nevertheless I would like to repeat several things.
A search for a new balance, sustainable relations in the social, political, economic, cultural and military areas and support for the world system was launched at that time. We were looking for this support but must say that we did not find it, at least so far. Meanwhile, those who felt like the winners after the end of the Cold War (we have also spoken about this many times) and thought they climbed Mount Olympus soon discovered that the ground was falling away underneath even there, and this time it was their turn, and nobody could “stop this fleeting moment” no matter how fair it seemed.
In general, it must have seemed that we adjusted to this continuous inconstancy, unpredictability and permanent state of transition, but this did not happen either.
I would like to add that the transformation that we are seeing and are part of is of a different calibre than the changes that repeatedly occurred in human history, at least those we know about. This is not simply a shift in the balance of forces or scientific and technological breakthroughs, though both are also taking place. Today, we are facing systemic changes in all directions – from the increasingly complicated geophysical condition of our planet to a more paradoxical interpretation of what a human is and what the reasons for his existence are.
Let us look around. And I will say this again: I will allow myself to express a few thoughts that I sign on to.
Firstly, climate change and environmental degradation are so obvious that even the most careless people can no longer dismiss them. One can continue to engage in scientific debates about the mechanisms behind the ongoing processes, but it is impossible to deny that these processes are getting worse, and something needs to be done. Natural disasters such as droughts, floods, hurricanes, and tsunamis have almost become the new normal, and we are getting used to them. Suffice it to recall the devastating, tragic floods in Europe last summer, the fires in Siberia – there are a lot of examples. Not only in Siberia – our neighbours in Turkey have also had wildfires, and the United States, and other places on the American continent. It sometimes seems that any geopolitical, scientific and technical, or ideological rivalry becomes pointless in this context, if the winners will have not enough air to breathe or nothing to drink.
The coronavirus pandemic has become another reminder of how fragile our community is, how vulnerable it is, and our most important task is to ensure humanity a safe existence and resilience. To increase our chance of survival in the face of cataclysms, we absolutely need to rethink how we go about our lives, how we run our households, how cities develop or how they should develop; we need to reconsider economic development priorities of entire states. I repeat, safety is one of our main imperatives, in any case it has become obvious now, and anyone who tries to deny this will have to later explain why they were wrong and why they were unprepared for the crises and shocks whole nations are facing.
Second. The socioeconomic problems facing humankind have worsened to the point where, in the past, they would trigger worldwide shocks, such as world wars or bloody social cataclysms. Everyone is saying that the current model of capitalism which underlies the social structure in the overwhelming majority of countries, has run its course and no longer offers a solution to a host of increasingly tangled differences.
Everywhere, even in the richest countries and regions, the uneven distribution of material wealth has exacerbated inequality, primarily, inequality of opportunities both within individual societies and at the international level. I mentioned this formidable challenge in my remarks at the Davos Forum earlier this year. No doubt, these problems threaten us with major and deep social divisions.
Furthermore, a number of countries and even entire regions are regularly hit by food crises. We will probably discuss this later, but there is every reason to believe that this crisis will become worse in the near future and may reach extreme forms. There are also shortages of water and electricity (we will probably cover this today as well), not to mention poverty, high unemployment rates or lack of adequate healthcare.
Lagging countries are fully aware of that and are losing faith in the prospects of ever catching up with the leaders. Disappointment spurs aggression and pushes people to join the ranks of extremists. People in these countries have a growing sense of unfulfilled and failed expectations and the lack of any opportunities not only for themselves, but for their children, as well. This is what makes them look for better lives and results in uncontrolled migration, which, in turn, creates fertile ground for social discontent in more prosperous countries. I do not need to explain anything to you, since you can see everything with your own eyes and are, probably, versed on these matters even better than I.
As I noted earlier, prosperous leading powers have other pressing social problems, challenges and risks in ample supply, and many among them are no longer interested in fighting for influence since, as they say, they already have enough on their plates. The fact that society and young people in many countries have overreacted in a harsh and even aggressive manner to measures to combat the coronavirus showed – and I want to emphasise this, I hope someone has already mentioned this before me at other venues – so, I think that this reaction showed that the pandemic was just a pretext: the causes for social irritation and frustration run much deeper.
I have another important point to make. The pandemic, which, in theory, was supposed to rally the people in the fight against this massive common threat, has instead become a divisive rather than a unifying factor. There are many reasons for that, but one of the main ones is that they started looking for solutions to problems among the usual approaches – a variety of them, but still the old ones, but they just do not work. Or, to be more precise, they do work, but often and oddly enough, they worsen the existing state of affairs.
By the way, Russia has repeatedly called for, and I will repeat this, stopping these inappropriate ambitions and for working together. We will probably talk about this later but it is clear what I have in mind. We are talking about the need to counter the coronavirus infection together. But nothing changes; everything remains the same despite the humanitarian considerations. I am not referring to Russia now, let’s leave the sanctions against Russia for now; I mean the sanctions that remain in place against those states that badly need international assistance. Where are the humanitarian fundamentals of Western political thought? It appears there is nothing there, just idle talk. Do you understand? This is what seems to be on the surface.
Furthermore, the technological revolution, impressive achievements in artificial intelligence, electronics, communications, genetics, bioengineering, and medicine open up enormous opportunities, but at the same time, in practical terms, they raise philosophical, moral and spiritual questions that were until recently the exclusive domain of science fiction writers. What will happen if machines surpass humans in the ability to think? Where is the limit of interference in the human body beyond which a person ceases being himself and turns into some other entity? What are the general ethical limits in the world where the potential of science and machines are becoming almost boundless? What will this mean for each of us, for our descendants, our nearest descendants – our children and grandchildren?
These changes are gaining momentum, and they certainly cannot be stopped because they are objective as a rule. All of us will have to deal with the consequences regardless of our political systems, economic condition or prevailing ideology.
Verbally, all states talk about their commitment to the ideals of cooperation and a willingness to work together for resolving common problems but, unfortunately, these are just words. In reality, the opposite is happening, and the pandemic has served to fuel the negative trends that emerged long ago and are now only getting worse. The approach based on the proverb, “your own shirt is closer to the body,” has finally become common and is now no longer even concealed. Moreover, this is often even a matter of boasting and brandishing. Egotistic interests prevail over the notion of the common good.
Of course, the problem is not just the ill will of certain states and notorious elites. It is more complicated than that, in my opinion. In general, life is seldom divided into black and white. Every government, every leader is primarily responsible to his own compatriots, obviously. The main goal is to ensure their security, peace and prosperity. So, international, transnational issues will never be as important for a national leadership as domestic stability. In general, this is normal and correct.
We need to face the fact the global governance institutions are not always effective and their capabilities are not always up to the challenge posed by the dynamics of global processes. In this sense, the pandemic could help – it clearly showed which institutions have what it takes and which need fine-tuning.
The re-alignment of the balance of power presupposes a redistribution of shares in favour of rising and developing countries that until now felt left out. To put it bluntly, the Western domination of international affairs, which began several centuries ago and, for a short period, was almost absolute in the late 20th century, is giving way to a much more diverse system.
This transformation is not a mechanical process and, in its own way, one might even say, is unparalleled. Arguably, political history has no examples of a stable world order being established without a big war and its outcomes as the basis, as was the case after World War II. So, we have a chance to create an extremely favourable precedent. The attempt to create it after the end of the Cold War on the basis of Western domination failed, as we see. The current state of international affairs is a product of that very failure, and we must learn from this.
Some may wonder, what have we arrived at? We have arrived somewhere paradoxical. Just an example: for two decades, the most powerful nation in the world has been conducting military campaigns in two countries that it cannot be compared to by any standard. But in the end, it had to wind down operations without achieving a single goal that it had set for itself going in 20 years ago, and to withdraw from these countries causing considerable damage to others and itself. In fact, the situation has worsened dramatically.
But that is not the point. Previously, a war lost by one side meant victory for the other side, which took responsibility for what was happening. For example, the defeat of the United States in the Vietnam War, for example, did not make Vietnam a “black hole.” On the contrary, a successfully developing state arose there, which, admittedly, relied on the support of a strong ally. Things are different now: no matter who takes the upper hand, the war does not stop, but just changes form. As a rule, the hypothetical winner is reluctant or unable to ensure peaceful post-war recovery, and only worsens the chaos and the vacuum posing a danger to the world.
Colleagues,
What do you think are the starting points of this complex realignment process? Let me try to summarise the talking points.
First, the coronavirus pandemic has clearly shown that the international order is structured around nation states. By the way, recent developments have shown that global digital platforms – with all their might, which we could see from the internal political processes in the United States – have failed to usurp political or state functions. These attempts proved ephemeral. The US authorities, as I said, have immediately put the owners of these platforms in their place, which is exactly what is being done in Europe, if you just look at the size of the fines imposed on them and the demonopolisation measures being taken. You are aware of that.
In recent decades, many have tossed around fancy concepts claiming that the role of the state was outdated and outgoing. Globalisation supposedly made national borders an anachronism, and sovereignty an obstacle to prosperity. You know, I said it before and I will say it again. This is also what was said by those who attempted to open up other countries’ borders for the benefit of their own competitive advantages. This is what actually happened. And as soon as it transpired that someone somewhere is achieving great results, they immediately returned to closing borders in general and, first of all, their own customs borders and what have you, and started building walls. Well, were we supposed to not notice, or what? Everyone sees everything and everyone understands everything perfectly well. Of course, they do.
There is no point in disputing it anymore. It is obvious. But events, when we spoke about the need to open up borders, events, as I said, went in the opposite direction. Only sovereign states can effectively respond to the challenges of the times and the demands of the citizens. Accordingly, any effective international order should take into account the interests and capabilities of the state and proceed on that basis, and not try to prove that they should not exist. Furthermore, it is impossible to impose anything on anyone, be it the principles underlying the sociopolitical structure or values that someone, for their own reasons, has called universal. After all, it is clear that when a real crisis strikes, there is only one universal value left and that is human life, which each state decides for itself how best to protect based on its abilities, culture and traditions.
In this regard, I will again note how severe and dangerous the coronavirus pandemic has become. As we know, more than 4.9 million have died of it. These terrifying figures are comparable and even exceed the military losses of the main participants in World War I.
The second point I would like to draw your attention to is the scale of change that forces us to act extremely cautiously, if only for reasons of self-preservation. The state and society must not respond radically to qualitative shifts in technology, dramatic environmental changes or the destruction of traditional systems. It is easier to destroy than to create, as we all know. We in Russia know this very well, regrettably, from our own experience, which we have had several times.
Just over a century ago, Russia objectively faced serious problems, including because of the ongoing World War I, but its problems were not bigger and possibly even smaller or not as acute as the problems the other countries faced, and Russia could have dealt with its problems gradually and in a civilised manner. But revolutionary shocks led to the collapse and disintegration of a great power. The second time this happened 30 years ago, when a potentially very powerful nation failed to enter the path of urgently needed, flexible but thoroughly substantiated reforms at the right time, and as a result it fell victim to all kinds of dogmatists, both reactionary ones and the so-called progressives – all of them did their bit, all sides did.
These examples from our history allow us to say that revolutions are not a way to settle a crisis but a way to aggravate it. No revolution was worth the damage it did to the human potential.
Third. The importance of a solid support in the sphere of morals, ethics and values is increasing dramatically in the modern fragile world. In point of fact, values are a product, a unique product of cultural and historical development of any nation. The mutual interlacing of nations definitely enriches them, openness expands their horizons and allows them to take a fresh look at their own traditions. But the process must be organic, and it can never be rapid. Any alien elements will be rejected anyway, possibly bluntly. Any attempts to force one’s values on others with an uncertain and unpredictable outcome can only further complicate a dramatic situation and usually produce the opposite reaction and an opposite from the intended result.
We look in amazement at the processes underway in the countries which have been traditionally looked at as the standard-bearers of progress. Of course, the social and cultural shocks that are taking place in the United States and Western Europe are none of our business; we are keeping out of this. Some people in the West believe that an aggressive elimination of entire pages from their own history, “reverse discrimination” against the majority in the interests of a minority, and the demand to give up the traditional notions of mother, father, family and even gender, they believe that all of these are the mileposts on the path towards social renewal.
Listen, I would like to point out once again that they have a right to do this, we are keeping out of this. But we would like to ask them to keep out of our business as well. We have a different viewpoint, at least the overwhelming majority of Russian society – it would be more correct to put it this way – has a different opinion on this matter. We believe that we must rely on our own spiritual values, our historical tradition and the culture of our multiethnic nation.
The advocates of so-called ‘social progress’ believe they are introducing humanity to some kind of a new and better consciousness. Godspeed, hoist the flags as we say, go right ahead. The only thing that I want to say now is that their prescriptions are not new at all. It may come as a surprise to some people, but Russia has been there already. After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also said that they would change existing ways and customs and not just political and economic ones, but the very notion of human morality and the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, religion and relations between people, up to and including the total rejection of family (we had that, too), encouragement to inform on loved ones – all this was proclaimed progress and, by the way, was widely supported around the world back then and was quite fashionable, same as today. By the way, the Bolsheviks were absolutely intolerant of opinions other than theirs.
This, I believe, should call to mind some of what we are witnessing now. Looking at what is happening in a number of Western countries, we are amazed to see the domestic practices, which we, fortunately, have left, I hope, in the distant past. The fight for equality and against discrimination has turned into aggressive dogmatism bordering on absurdity, when the works of the great authors of the past – such as Shakespeare – are no longer taught at schools or universities, because their ideas are believed to be backward. The classics are declared backward and ignorant of the importance of gender or race. In Hollywood memos are distributed about proper storytelling and how many characters of what colour or gender should be in a movie. This is even worse than the agitprop department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
Countering acts of racism is a necessary and noble cause, but the new ‘cancel culture’ has turned it into ‘reverse discrimination’ that is, reverse racism. The obsessive emphasis on race is further dividing people, when the real fighters for civil rights dreamed precisely about erasing differences and refusing to divide people by skin colour. I specifically asked my colleagues to find the following quote from Martin Luther King: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by their character.” This is the true value. However, things are turning out differently there. By the way, the absolute majority of Russian people do not think that the colour of a person’s skin or their gender is an important matter. Each of us is a human being. This is what matters.
In a number of Western countries, the debate over men’s and women’s rights has turned into a perfect phantasmagoria. Look, beware of going where the Bolsheviks once planned to go – not only communalising chickens, but also communalising women. One more step and you will be there.
Zealots of these new approaches even go so far as to want to abolish these concepts altogether. Anyone who dares mention that men and women actually exist, which is a biological fact, risk being ostracised. “Parent number one” and “parent number two,” “’birthing parent” instead of “mother,” and “human milk” replacing “breastmilk” because it might upset the people who are unsure about their own gender. I repeat, this is nothing new; in the 1920s, the so-called Soviet Kulturtraegers also invented some newspeak believing they were creating a new consciousness and changing values that way. And, as I have already said, they made such a mess it still makes one shudder at times.
Not to mention some truly monstrous things when children are taught from an early age that a boy can easily become a girl and vice versa. That is, the teachers actually impose on them a choice we all supposedly have. They do so while shutting the parents out of the process and forcing the child to make decisions that can upend their entire life. They do not even bother to consult with child psychologists – is a child at this age even capable of making a decision of this kind? Calling a spade a spade, this verges on a crime against humanity, and it is being done in the name and under the banner of progress.
Well, if someone likes this, let them do it. I have already mentioned that, in shaping our approaches, we will be guided by a healthy conservatism. That was a few years ago, when passions on the international arena were not yet running as high as they are now, although, of course, we can say that clouds were gathering even then. Now, when the world is going through a structural disruption, the importance of reasonable conservatism as the foundation for a political course has skyrocketed – precisely because of the multiplying risks and dangers, and the fragility of the reality around us.
This conservative approach is not about an ignorant traditionalism, a fear of change or a restraining game, much less about withdrawing into our own shell. It is primarily about reliance on a time-tested tradition, the preservation and growth of the population, a realistic assessment of oneself and others, a precise alignment of priorities, a correlation of necessity and possibility, a prudent formulation of goals, and a fundamental rejection of extremism as a method. And frankly, in the impending period of global reconstruction, which may take quite long, with its final design being uncertain, moderate conservatism is the most reasonable line of conduct, as far as I see it. It will inevitably change at some point, but so far, do no harm – the guiding principle in medicine – seems to be the most rational one. Noli nocere, as they say.
Again, for us in Russia, these are not some speculative postulates, but lessons from our difficult and sometimes tragic history. The cost of ill-conceived social experiments is sometimes beyond estimation. Such actions can destroy not only the material, but also the spiritual foundations of human existence, leaving behind moral wreckage where nothing can be built to replace it for a long time.
Finally, there is one more point I want to make. We understand all too well that resolving many urgent problems the world has been facing would be impossible without close international cooperation. However, we need to be realistic: most of the pretty slogans about coming up with global solutions to global problems that we have been hearing since the late 20th century will never become reality. In order to achieve a global solution, states and people have to transfer their sovereign rights to supra-national structures to an extent that few, if any, would accept. This is primarily attributable to the fact that you have to answer for the outcomes of such policies not to some global public, but to your citizens and voters.
However, this does not mean that exercising some restraint for the sake of bringing about solutions to global challenges is impossible. After all, a global challenge is a challenge for all of us together, and to each of us in particular. If everyone saw a way to benefit from cooperation in overcoming these challenges, this would definitely leave us better equipped to work together.
One of the ways to promote these efforts could be, for example, to draw up, at the UN level, a list of challenges and threats that specific countries face, with details of how they could affect other countries. This effort could involve experts from various countries and academic fields, including you, my colleagues. We believe that developing a roadmap of this kind could inspire many countries to see global issues in a new light and understand how cooperation could be beneficial for them.
I have already mentioned the challenges international institutions are facing. Unfortunately, this is an obvious fact: it is now a question of reforming or closing some of them. However, the United Nations as the central international institution retains its enduring value, at least for now. I believe that in our turbulent world it is the UN that brings a touch of reasonable conservatism into international relations, something that is so important for normalising the situation.
Many criticise the UN for failing to adapt to a rapidly changing world. In part, this is true, but it is not the UN, but primarily its members who are to blame for this. In addition, this international body promotes not only international norms, but also the rule-making spirit, which is based on the principles of equality and maximum consideration for everyone’s opinions. Our mission is to preserve this heritage while reforming the organisation. However, in doing so we need to make sure that we do not throw the baby out with the bathwater, as the saying goes.
This is not the first time I am using a high rostrum to make this call for collective action in order to face up to the problems that continue to pile up and become more acute. It is thanks to you, friends and colleagues, that the Valdai Club is emerging or has already established itself as a high-profile forum. It is for this reason that I am turning to this platform to reaffirm our readiness to work together on addressing the most urgent problems that the world is facing today.
Friends,
The changes mentioned here prior to me, as well as by yours truly, are relevant to all countries and peoples. Russia, of course, is not an exception. Just like everyone else, we are searching for answers to the most urgent challenges of our time.
Of course, no one has any ready-made recipes. However, I would venture to say that our country has an advantage. Let me explain what this advantage is. It is to do with our historical experience. You may have noticed that I have referred to it several times in the course of my remarks. Unfortunately, we had to bring back many sad memories, but at least our society has developed what they now refer to as herd immunity to extremism that paves the way to upheavals and socioeconomic cataclysms. People really value stability and being able to live normal lives and to prosper while confident that the irresponsible aspirations of yet another group of revolutionaries will not upend their plans and aspirations. Many have vivid memories of what happened 30 years ago and all the pain it took to climb out of the ditch where our country and our society found themselves after the USSR fell apart.
The conservative views we hold are an optimistic conservatism, which is what matters the most. We believe stable, positive development to be possible. It all depends primarily on our own efforts. Of course, we are ready to work with our partners on common noble causes.
I would like to thank all participants once more, for your attention. As the tradition goes, I will gladly answer or at least try to answer your questions.
Thank you for your patience.

Before we even get started, note how much the intelligence of that speech differs from our phony President Biden. It’s even smarter than speech-making puppet and ACTUAL President, Barack Obama.
Now – don’t think for a SECOND that Mr. Putin isn’t one VERY cagey cat who’s looking to eat that singing caged bird when nobody is looking.
From the moment Putin shills for phony Globo-Soviet China-helping “climate change”, you know he’s not in it to speak the truth unless that truth benefits Russia.
Yeah, you can say that he’s “playing along with the Globalists”, but why is that?
RUSSIA FIRST. It is smarter for him to play along openly on a strategy that harms America more than Russia, and overtly helps China, than to flip that around and make his own country suffer, merely for credit with a few opponents of globalism in a primary globalist adversary (meaning the United States).
Never for a moment think this guy is saying anything to help America – unless it helps Russia first.
This is part of nationalism, or at least Russia’s version of it. Just accept that, IMO.
From there, also understand that Putin is always looking out for China, too. Russia and China will always have a very complex relationship, where mutual suspicions and mutual courtesies include NEVER saying the wrong thing, risking destabilizing that relationship, and always upholding each other’s SCAMS.
OK? Got that?
The TRUTH only goes so far with Putin. After that, it’s RUSSIA FIRST, LIES OR NO LIES.
Nevertheless, Putin goes on to provide an AMAZING set of NON-HYPOCRITICAL arguments:
FOR nationalism
FOR conservatism
FOR sovereignty
AGAINST wokism
AGAINST “racist anti-racism”
AGAINST tyranny of the minority
AGAINST Bolshevism
AGAINST extremism
AGAINST gender / sexual minority insanity
AGAINST Western liberal excess
AGAINST revolution
AGAINST transhumanism
AGAINST destruction of society
This is exactly what Sundance is saying. Putin has jumped off his bear, and has GRABBED credibility by both horns, and is milking the bull for all the national macho it will provide!
Corrupt, Soviet-honeymooning, dementia-addled weakling Biden, selling out to China, has given Russia an extraordinary opportunity to recover Soviet-era levels of prominence on the world stage – but without all the stinky Bolshevik baggage of old. Full of fleas and bedbugs, that baggage was gladly taken off Russia’s hands by Democrat doufuses and traitors.
In my opinion, this is exactly where Russia wants things.
I have more opinions, but I will save those for the comments.
What do YOU think of Putin’s speech?
W
Civil rights as distinct from minority tyranny. What a concept! Wonder where that started?
But this is not happening in isolation of “other items” that are pushing the political animals in Columbus to jump on the stool at the crack of the whip.
So this will be led by Kristen Clarke, who accused the Chicago police department of unfairly targeting Jussie Smollett after they sought access to his cell phone. https://t.co/JKvisPfRPi
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — On the same day the mayor of Columbus reinstituted a mask mandate, Ohio’s governor reiterated his hands are tied when it comes to health orders. But Mike DeWine said he will continue to speak out on the issue of COVID and how to get Ohio’s numbers down.
DeWine said he spoke with Ohio public school superintendents and Catholic diocese schools yesterday, warning them that mandatory masking is the best way to control the spread of COVID in schools. A number of Central Ohio districts are battling high quarantine numbers due to the coronavirus.
“I’ll continue to say to all school superintendents in the state of Ohio if you want your school to stay open, if you want kids not to be quarantined, the best way to do that is to put a mask mandate on, at least for the immediate future,” DeWine said.Volume 90% DeWine can’t mandate masks, health orders; will keep speaking out about COVID precautions
DeWine however cannot make a mandate statewide, at least not without having it overturned by state lawmakers. That’s after they passed a law earlier this year limiting his abilities to issue health orders.
Would the governor have revived a mask mandate had lawmakers not taken that action?
“I deal with the world as I find it and the way the world is, and I don’t spend a lot of time speculating what would have happened if something else happened,” he said.
Yeah.
Trust me – this maskie purple Xi-tie would have Ohio in a state-wide mask mandate at the first opportunity he could.
AND THIS, MOST OF ALL.
If Joe Biden attempts to bring Australia-type lockdowns and mandates to America, Mike DeWine WILL NOT STAND UP TO THEM. In fact, he will SUPPORT THEM.
Anybody thinking Jim Renacci might be a good idea?
NOW…..
If you don’t think this crap is coordinated, check this out.
At the Columbus Symphony, we pride ourselves on being here for you and our community in meaningful and transformative ways. This includes the health and safety of our musicians, patrons, volunteers, guest artists, and staff.
That is why starting September 25th and until further notice, the Columbus Symphony will require all audience members to show proof of vaccination, or a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before entering the building, or a negative rapid antigen test within 24 hours before entering the building.Those who are unable to be vaccinated or are ineligible (including children under the age of 12) will be required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before entering the building, or a rapid antigen test within 24 hours of entering the building. In addition, all guests will be required to always wear masks inside the venue, including while seated during the performance.
These measures ensure the safest possible environment for everyone to return to the theatre and enjoy the Columbus Symphony’s inspiring performances. Please check our website for any updates before you attend a performance. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you at the Ohio Theatre.
Amid a COVID-19 surge in Ohio’s most populous county, health officials wanted to once again require the use of face masks indoors to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Unlike July 2020, however, this time they hit a wall. State legislation that took effect earlier this summer forbids health departments from issuing blanket health mandates among people not diagnosed with any disease.
So despite a 56% increase in the average daily case rate in the county, which officials attribute to the hyper-transmissible delta variant flooding the state with new cases, the health department says they can do little more than issue a “mask advisory” that’s not backed by any force of law.
“This is an advisory. It’s not an order and it’s not a mandate,” said Columbus Public Health Commissioner Dr. Mysheika Roberts at a news conference. “The reason why it’s not an order or a mandate is because of state Senate Bill 22, which prohibits us from doing any order that would be a blanket order to the whole population.”
This marks one of the first tangible effects of the legislation, which critics called a naked attack on public health, to play out during an ongoing and now again worsening pandemic.
However, this isn’t the only instance of emerging schisms between public health guidance and policy.
Columbus Public Health issued guidance last week recommending schools, some of whom host children 11 and younger who are ineligible for vaccination, to require all students to wear face masks. However, school districts and universities have split on the issue, and health officials said they hope those districts that went mask-optional will reconsider.
So are the Bidenazis trying to work around that using a Mayoral EO? SEE BELOW.
If you read the rest of the article, you will learn this critical information. DeWine did a SNEAKY temporary protection from vaccine mandates – NOT the real thing.
Local health officials have had their hands tied when it comes to issuing mask mandates after the statewide mandate ended in June and a new law took effect prohibiting them from issuing such sweeping health orders.
The mandate is not subject to the law, Ginther’s office said, because the law only restricted public health agencies from issuing such orders, not city governments. The Ohio Constitution’s “home rule” powers granted to cities and villages include the authority to make regulations for public health and safety.
SO – here we are.
The DEMON DEMS will not back down.
But we are making progress.
Time for the Legislature to pound these bastards down AGAIN.
A huge THANK YOU to Dr. Shiva and marymorse for discovering the path into what will be the most CYNICAL aspect of THE STEAL since they bragged about “fortifying the election”.
Indeed, “fortifying the election” was a “bragging clue” that they put right under our noses.
You see, that is EXACTLY how the scam worked.
They really DID “fortify” the election – as a way of TAKING IT DOWN.
Under the guise of “securing the election”, they actually CASED IT for the biggest theft in history.
There is only one Democrat so cynical in this world, to pull this stuff off, and his name is all over the crime scene.
But that’s getting ahead of the trail. Let me show you how I got here, thanks to Dr. Shiva, Professor Clement, and marymorse.
Doc Shiva Spots the Cynical Censorship
This is the crucial path in, so that you can SEE what I cannot now UNSEE.
Dr. Shiva, pursuing his censorship on Twitter in a way that actually got THREE TWITTER SNAKES to crawl out of that HELLHOLE called WilmerHale, discovered a cynical PLAYBOOK for suppressing not only people LIKE HIM, but in fact HIS OWN NAME – listed on the pages.
We covered this two days ago – plenty of background:
Think how cynical this is. A smart Indian guy – many think of him as a bit of a gadfly – versus some giant consortium of influential people, and HE is the “influence operation” that needs to be countered?
LMAO.
Seriously – WHAT A BUNCH OF SHIT. And they know it. Big, proud, rich, connected, important people, with all of our STOLEN retirement money and decades of medical insurance premiums robbed by Robbin’ Hood Obama – WORTHLESS after we got thrown onto Medicare – now buying their second and third McMansions with the money they stole – and THEY are afraid of HIM? HE is a threat?
Give me a break.
Yeah, he’s a threat like me, with my COVID lungs, my dead dog, and my broken and patched Chinese yard tools that I have to wait for a cool day to use so I don’t DIE of LONG CHINA VIRUS.
You ASSHOLES.
Anyway, Shiva dug through this site and mapped out the connections of the CENSORSHIP CARTEL.
V
V
V
V
But here is the most important thing to understand.
THE CENSORSHIP CARTEL IS JUST A SMALL WING OF THE ELECTION THEFT CARTEL.
And THAT is easier to see, thanks to Professor Clement.
The Vote Traffickers and WE THE UNTOUCHABLES
I used to think that the FBI was still like the Untouchables.
Eventually, I realized they weren’t.
Then I hoped that at least SOME of the FBI were still like the Untouchables.
Eventually, I realized that none of them were.
And the good ones? They DIED.
Remember Wall Street FBI investigator Sal Cincinelli? The guy who was investigating the Clinton Foundation?
The VOTE CARTEL put the squeeze on his sister and he ended up “killing himself”, shortly after giving an “invited talk” at the same place where Anthony Scaramucci did a 180 on Trump.
They are ROUGH and they PLAY ROUGH. They OWN guys like Wray and Comey.
WE ARE THE ONLY UNTOUCHABLES.
Just like Shiva. Ironic, isn’t it? “Untouchables.”
ANYWAY, here is the point. I did NOT see all of this correctly – the MAGNITUDE of it – until I watched Professor Clement describe the VOTE TRAFFICKERS as a CARTEL.
Once you get that, then FAST AND FURIOUS makes sense. It’s CARTEL TO CARTEL.
The CARTEL is already here.
If you have not heard this speech, you MUST hear it to get proper perspective.
Once you understand this – once you understand that even DRUG GANGS “case the cops” – then you are ready to “move on”.
You are now ready to see how a small player in the cartel SCREWED UP, and one of the UNTOUCHABLES found a record of her previous associates – including a VERY BIG FISH.
The Princess of Fake Elections
Jenna Griswold is a beautiful, indeed quintessential example of a “Soros DA”, as I like to call any sabotage candidate or appointee that George Soros backs.
Her incompetence for the job is a FEATURE – not a bug. The fact that such a surprise winner almost certainly had to be elected BY a fake election makes her the perfect defender OF fake elections.
This whole thing is HUGE. This Colorado SuperMom in the audience is DESTROYING Dominion, Jenna Griswold, and the DNC. The CONSCIOUSNESS OF GUILT. IT BURNS. It is very clear that this woman Jenna Griswold is an unqualified HACK who was put in BY FAKE ELECTIONS precisely for FAKE ELECTIONS and to protect FAKE ELECTIONS. I …
SO – when marymorse was perusing one of the cynical web pages at this horrible Belfer Center that was engaged in so much CENSORSHIP, who shows up but……
Yeah, there is that old “NASED” again. Remember? They were squelching any accusations of election fraud, when they went after Dr. Shiva.
So, it’s pretty clear that Jenna Griswold was involved with these same creeps at a very tight and high level.
L. Jean Camp and the mysterious Tea Leaves, (CIA???) for those who do not remember, are the computer scientists who said they found Russian bank commuter traffic to Trump tower.
In November 2016, just days before Donald Trump won the presidential election, Slate published what appeared to be an explosive story connecting his business empire to a prominent, Kremlin-linked bank in Moscow. The story, using breadcrumbs left across DNS, the esoteric global computer system that undergirds the internet, alleged a pattern of covert communications between a Trump Organization email server and Alfa Bank….
…In May of this year, the bank tapped Kirkland & Ellis LLP, a white-shoe American law firm, to write a letter to L. Jean Camp, an esteemed Indiana University computer scientist and researcher — and a vocal supporter of the claims made by Tea Leaves. This initial letter, first reported by CNN, claimed that the Camp investigation into the covert server chatter had “encouraged inquiries into supposed links to the Trump organization” and that her “activities continue to this day to promote an unwarranted investigation into Alfa Bank’s ‘communication’ with the Trump Organization.” The letter added that “Alfa Bank is exploring all available options to protect itself … [including] litigation and causes of action under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,” further demanding that Camp “preserve all records” pertaining to the Tea Leaves research. Such a preservation request is often the precursor to a lawsuit. There would be more letters.
Alfa’s lawyers went beyond scary lawyer boilerplate, demanding that Camp not only turn over all of her related communications with members of the media, but also divulge her full correspondence with the anonymous Tea Leaves, presumably for the purpose of unmasking and pursuing them. As a professor at a publicly funded university, Camp’s official correspondence is subject to public disclosure. A subsequent letter from Kirkland & Ellis made this threat explicit….
I have to publish what I have NOW, and come back to finish it later, but by now you should be able to see what is going on.
This is why I’m having you download pages from the Belfer Center, so they can’t TORCH THE EVIDENCE.
THIS RIGHT HERE is the key – where the “security experts” come in, call everything safe, STEAL THE KEYS, GET THE LEVERAGE, and EXECUTE THE STEAL.
SLICK. Very, very SLICK.
Thank you, marymorse. Thank you, Professor Clement. Thank you, Mike Lindell. Thank you, Tina Peters.
And thank you, Jenna Griswold. YOU gave us the keys.
To the Belfer Center.

UPDATE 1 – Why Is Arapahoe County Important?
OK – this is big. Check out the video in the first comment, from Gail – this is the one where Jenna Griswold goes in front of the media and shakes perceptibly, as noted by Professor Clements, the former prosecutor.
Who is the FIRST person she calls in for defense? County Clerk (former) of ARAPAHOE COUNTY, and now head of the Colorado Association of County Clerks.
You will note that Arapahoe County is the EXACT SAME one country (other than Denver) that took part in the “Event 201 of elections” BS. I repeat the image:
Did you see that? Arapahoe County is the THIRD most populous county in Colorado. In fact, let’s take a look at the TOP 15 county populations there. I chose 15 for a reason.
The second-largest county, El Paso County, is Colorado Springs. I am guessing that it’s somewhat redder than Denver and Boulder. Arapahoe County looks like it SHOULD be “suburban red” – but with pretexts like the MK shoot-em-up at Columbine High School, I am thinking the Vote Trafficking Cartel could swing things BELIEVABLY to the DonkeyComs.
In my opinion, if they can control voting machines in both Denver County and Arapahoe County, they can control the STATE. They don’t have to have everybody on board. They can nickel and dime everybody else.
Notice also that Mesa County, at number 15, is STILL a six-digit population, at a bit less than 1/4 of the population of Arapahoe County. So it still matters, and we SHOULD SEE cheating in the logs and PCAPs.
It would be important to have lots of leverage on Arapahoe County election offices and officials. I won’t get into all the possible ways that leverage might occur, outside of what we are seeing with the Belfer Center partnership, but in my opinion they used this relationship to snoop on what was needed to manipulate the voting machines, and to influence the people in Arapahoe County election supervision into predictable and desired behaviors.
I am guessing that Arapahoe, with a lot of growth AND fluid population, would be the perfect place for a REALLY BIG, FAT credit line of FAKE VOTES, FAKE REGISTRATIONS, and [DRUMROLL] FAKE CITIZENS.
Yes. FAKE CITIZENS is where the real scam is. It has to be. To keep registrations looking natural, there have to be FAKE CITIZENS.
The CENSUS is FILLED with FAKE CITIZENS.
How do I know this? SOON.
The scandal of UniParty dominance through Fake Elections is HUGE.
Now – note that they are operating by a PLAYBOOK – a PLAYBOOK that provides COVER – the cover of phony “election security” when what they are really doing is COVERING UP election fraud.
This is how these playbooks work. Just like the playbook for dealing with “malign influence and misinformation” is how they deal with BREAKOUT OF INFORMATION OR EVIDENCE about election fraud perpetrated BY THEM, so they use phony concerns about cyber-security to cover up DIRTY ELECTION COP activities.
You seeing how this works? These people are DIRTY AS HELL.
More coming.
Update 2 – The Belfer Archives
Because we are bringing the HEAT to these corrupt Democrat NGOs, there WILL be cover-up. Hence, we’ve archived many pages of this nasty Mookish cheat-protecting DNC cadre operation. Many thanks to TheseTruths for helping me do this. Just look through this Orwellian elite blamecasting crap at your leisure. If they scrub it, it will only evidence consciousness of guilt. CRIMINALS!
Seriously, you CHUMPS on the academic end of this travesty. Robby MOOK? You let that partisan TOAD sully the Harvard name by turning it into a DNC OP? Much worse, a FRAUD OP? LOL! “So smart, they’re STUPID.”
Again, I’d like to thank TheseTruths for helping me collect all these pages of evidence. It’s already very clear to me by reading these titles, just how much Robby Mook and his DNC cohorts were able to LAUNDER Democrat narratives and abuses through Harvard University. SHAME!
The title is a bit of a joke. Allow me to explain that, first.
The Mike Lindell symposium is amazing. The BOMBSHELLS just keep dropping. FAKE ELECTIONS are PROVEN. Dominion is TOAST. Audits are REAL and NEEDED.
All of this simply MUST be scaring the hell out of the DonkeyComs.
I strongly suspect that the communists and globalists – the Bidenistas and Bidenazis – are so desperate at the absolute uncovering of FAKE ELECTIONS, that they will need to find a NEW COVID-LEVEL REALITY HOAX – IN CONJUNCTION WITH CHINA – and there’s not much left except NUCLEAR.
Remember – another nuclear hoax like the sabotage at Three-Mile Island also serves their denuclearization agenda, to sell all the goods cheap to Russia and China, and truly CRUSH America.
They’ve already done a test nuclear hoax in Columbus, Ohio……
Ah, yes. It’s the TIMELINES that always get them. AS YOU WILL SEE. In my opinion, somebody like known provocateur ROBERT CREAMER has to be behind the Columbus “nuclear reactor escalation” hoax, and hopefully, when we have a new head of the Department of Energy fully operational – and some new leadership at the top …
I knew there was something fishy about that one. Yeah, it was a GREAT troll, but the Ohio GOP Christmas Party was too picayune of a target. The DonkeyComs don’t waste ammo like that. Something else was up.
And then I figured it out.
“BOOM”.
It was a TEST. And PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONING. (Mike Lindell is SO onto this stuff – it’s AWESOME.)
But remember – COVID is 90% hoax, but they used a REAL VIRUS for effect.
The next one will likely use real radioisotopes. Thankfully, people here have a bit of understanding, due to the excellent lessons from our resident physics teacher, SteveInCO.
We left off, circa 1903, having discovered radioactivity and the electron, and making quite a bit of progress with them.
To try to recap (and there are a few things in this so-called “recap” that I should have mentioned earlier, but didn’t), an electron is a negatively charged particle about 1/1830th the mass of a hydrogen atom, which up to then had been the lightest thing known to exist. They could be knocked off of atoms in a Crookes tube and they would then form what was called a cathode ray (yes, the same “cathode ray” in those big tubes in those old boxy TVs). It is possible to strip one electron off a hydrogen atom, at which point…..
SO – if the next thing they pull off is NUCLEAR, give whatever phony story the complicit media is selling, plenty of SIDE-EYE.
Are you with me?
The LYING MEDIA and the incorrigible DONKEY COMS will be LYING AGAIN.
Now – on to today’s BIG story.
“Dr. Shiva EXPOSES Big Tech and Censor Nazis”
This evening, the often left-ridiculed Dr. Shiva gave a STUNNING speech – absolutely amazing – something that will go down in history in any kind of a just future.
This clip is absolutely must-watch. This is true patriotism, spoken by a man we can all look up to.
You will note that he was invited to give a speech to a national medical association recently – just listen to him and you will understand why.
What Dr. Shiva does here is to recount very CLEARLY how he was CHEATED BY MACHINES out of an election, and then STONEWALLED in finding answers. It’s beautiful, because NOW we understand exactly what happened.
He noted that in the ONE county with hand-counted paper ballots he WON by 10 points. But in ALL the other counties with machine voting, he LOST 60-40, 60-40, 60-40, 60-40……
During his investigation, he was STONEWALLED by state election officials – especially after he learned that they were ILLEGALLY deleting ballot images after the election. He got into an argument with one official on Twitter, and was SUSPENDED from Twitter when he posted emails to prove the official was giving him the run-around.
From there, he went into court. During that experience, a HIT PIECE was done on Shiva, but the hit piece accidentally revealed that the Massachusetts Secretary of State had been the one who contacted Twitter to get Shiva silenced. Dr. Shiva then took that information into discovery, and it was revealed that the government of Massachusetts had a “Trusted Twitter Partnership” with Twitter.
From there, it just gets worse. Not only did the government have this partnership with Twitter – there is a special portal for government officials. And not just that – there is an organization – the National Association of State Election Directors – which the Massachusetts state election director had contacted, and THEY petitioned Twitter to have Dr. Shiva kicked off.
It’s worth listening to this point in the video (around 13:00-13:30), to hear how Tucker Carlson missed that story at that time, apparently, and the crowd breaks into “SHAME ON FOX”.
Anyway, Dr. Shiva was back on Twitter, doing all kinds of (sadly “controversial”) tweets, e.g. RE vaccination, with no consequence, but when he shared those emails again, he was permanently suspended in 17 minutes.
Back in court – this time against 7 lawyers, including 3 Twitter lawyers from Wilmer Hale…..
…… LOL – I think you’re starting to see how this works…. YES – THAT Wilmer-Hale……
The one Katica discovered was representing Hillary Clinton’s email case……
……but Shiva discovers that NOBODY contacted Twitter this time – he was algorithmically monitored and if he posted those emails again, he was going to get kicked off.
Yup. TWITTER had THAT particular evidence BLOCKED. How convenient!
But from there, Dr. Shiva discovered a GOLD MINE OF CENSORSHIP, trying to figure out more about the “Trusted Twitter Partnership”. He just lucked into this stuff by persistent searching.
Here is a link to ALL the materials I’m going to show you.
This next one is particularly interesting – this is where said usual suspects GLOAT over how WELL the “playbook” worked!
And there is a BEAUTIFUL diagram of how these suspects interrelate……

At this point, I’m just going to say, PLAY THE VIDEO and LISTEN TO DR. SHIVA.
The dude just gets on a roll that had me CHEERING!
Lindell joins him when he finishes, and it’s GREAT.
NOW – here is my point about the GEIGER COUNTER.
These two guys – this symposium – you listen to this, and you will know – they are REAL PATRIOTS trying to DO SOMETHING, and they are FLUSHING OUT THE BAD GUYS.
Consequently, they are like a DETECTOR for WHEAT versus CHAFF.
Mike Lindell and Dr. Shiva are amazingly powerful WHEAT-CHAFF SORTERS.
Perfect for use on PRIMARY CANDIDATES.
Who is going to be on their side? Who’s going to stick up for them? Who’s going to say their names with PRIDE?
PATRIOTS. REAL MAGA. People who will ADMIT that the machines are RIGGED.
Who is not going to be on their side? Who’s going to avoid mentioning them? Who’s going to be very uncomfortable talking about them – or FAKING IT?
RINOs. GOPe. LIGHTWEIGHTS. LOSERS. CHUMPS. People who use the machines to WIN.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Dr. Shiva is always trying to SELL STUFF, because – well – he’s being CHEATED at every turn, so he has to make a buck somehow. And Mike sells PILLOWS THAT WORK, for cryin’ out loud.
There are worse sins in the world. LIKE STEALING ELECTIONS.
But what they did today was REMARKABLE.
These guys proved that the whole electoral system, the government, the media, and the social media are RIGGED.
THEY ARE HEROES.
So here is the deal.
We are no longer taking this shit.
And most of all, this.
The DonkeyComs and RINOs are NOT getting out of responsibility for
FAKE ELECTIONS.
AND THIS, TOO.
We are not going to be FOOLED and SUCKERED by the next BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL, or NUCLEAR ATTACK from these lying, hoaxing American DNC communists and their horrible CCP allies.
We’re done with their hoaxy but deadly bullshit.
We are taking America back LEGALLY, PEACEFULLY, and WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT.
The title is a simple question that I am finding has much power to explain things.
I’m going to leave this a little bit “loose”, so that everybody can “jiggle it into place”.
If I just say “that guy was a crisis actor!” as evidence, or even just “potential evidence”, we get away from the real point, even if it’s TRUE that the guy WAS a “crisis actor”.
Or even more shockingly, WAS NOT.
See what I mean? (Bill Aldenberg was put in charge of Durham’s “spygate” investigations.) Sometimes the TRUTH becomes even more shocking LATER, when we pursue it, leading to MORE TRUTH.
If I say “they’re giving saline injections for [REASON X]”, what if I’m wrong and it’s [REASON Y]? Or what if “saline injections” is as much of a distracting and discrediting psy-op as “magnetic injections”?
Or what if – “AND” LOGIC – it’s BOTH?
BUT – if I “come in from the TOP”, and say this….
What if the reason Democrats and China and Bill Gates and Fauci are “collaborating” on their phony plague to introduce a weird uterus-flushing “vaccine” is actually some kind of “world crisis response” to a problem these people are certain is a world-destroying threat?
(Listen for the “admission”…..)

What if Democrats don’t just posit and “react” to their phony alleged crises in the open, but also by secret programs that are a lot harder to get rid of, or turn off?
It sure would explain why leftists in government have to keep making these ridiculous public statements about “threats” that absolutely don’t appear to have any validity to normal people – nor even to scientists who are “cut out of the loops” – both the loops of being “informed” AND of being “under control”.
And OH YEAH, there is a lot of POLITICAL ADVANTAGE in doing that, because of CLASSIFICATION automatically providing COVER and a kind of built-in legitimacy by mere existence as a ‘classified’ matter.
You can talk back to a bill moving through Congress. You can’t talk back to a classified program.
That would even apply to the freaking HOAX against Trump. Not to say WHICH HOAX.
In my opinion, the sleazy Democrats HAVE to be doing this. And if CHINA is involved, at the deepest levels, “because it’s a global problem” – well, yeah.
Kind of explains why all the opposition to TRUMP – right?
“OH, NOES! Our classified save-the-world ‘baby’ is gonna END!”
The easiest way to get people to commit ERROR is to convince them that it is for GOOD.
The easiest way to make sure the error STICKS is to make it SECRET FROM THE GIT-GO.
I’m not saying that everybody has the same motivations in a giant project – especially a “secret” project – THEY DON’T.
Some people get into it for MONEY. Some get in for POWER. Some people just GO ALONG. Many people are just excited to be IN ON IT. And some people just want to have some fun.
Some people – and SCIENTISTS routinely fall for this crap – get involved because they’re FLATTERED. They butter up easily, and once they’re in, they don’t like to admit that they made a mistake. That is a big part of how the Chinese “Thousand Talents” program works, to get world scientists to switch their professional allegiance to CHINA.
Now CHINA is very smart, and prefers – like Obama – to “lead from behind”. We make fun of that Obama statement, but it’s actually a power statement to those who understand that Obama is “foolin’ ya” when he says he’s “leading from behind”.
“Leading from behind” works like this.
Posit a problem.
Get somebody else to accept that there is (or even might be) a problem.
Hint toward a solution.
Get somebody else to “come up with” your solution.
Praise them for YOUR solution they think is theirs.
Encourage them to carry out that solution.
Encourage others to find similar solutions.
This is a total euphemism for very sneaky and deceptive leadership. And it IS leadership.
So when China talks about “soft power”, understand that “soft power” is more akin to saying “we’re gonna cut off all avenues of exit”, rather than “we’re gonna be nice about things”.
You starting to see how this works? They love to UNDERSTATE.
Now – there seem to be ways to spot these projects.
leaders make phony political virtue signals to these problems that make no sense to normies
the projects make “committing moves” where people get into potential trouble that makes them double or triple down
“good” people do weird things that seem both stupidly wrong and out of character when they get caught
In my mind, the reason we see these things is that the leftists are ABUSING classification. It’s one thing to hide intelligence or defense matters. It’s quite another to hide some creepy “create gun problems to end gun problems” program.
The beauty of this kind of program is that it is basically “training wheels for conspirators”. You can’t convince most people to take part in a program to spread a virus that creates an avenue to sterilize people – THAT is just “no way”.
But if I came to you, and said “your country needs your skills to help save the world”, would you resist?
Don’t just be afraid of China’s “Thousand Talents” program. Keep an eye out for Obama’s “Million Talents” program. I think it’s there, and I think there are more than just one or two of them.

The media controls the science, no matter what scientists think they know.
PS
I want to thank Aubergine for THIS COMMENT which motivated me to “finish” my thoughts on this into a publishable form. You can go to that link to read the full context, but the more general point which Aubergine posited, is to ask if maybe the incidents of people “accidentally” getting “saline injections” instead of the COVID jabs they thought they were getting, might in fact be of a scientific nature.
These “saline jabs” are a real thing – some people getting saline instead of actual COVID jabs. The question is – HOW OFTEN? There have indeed been a few documented instances. Obviously in a huge project, one expects accidents. Forgetting to pump injectable saline into the lyophilized (freeze-dried) vaccine before injection is an understandable error, and should happen accidentally NO MATTER WHAT.
BUT – I have read about TWO instances where nurses who administered saline gave excuses when CAUGHT. In one case, the nurse said they were opposed to the COVID vaccines. Clearly THAT would be malpractice. People are entitled to get the drug they want – even if it’s risky.
In the other case, the nurse said that they had accidentally SPOILED a lot of vaccine, and rather than risk giving the spoiled vaccine, they covered up by administering saline.
I’m not sure I believe that second one, and I’m not even a 100% believer of the first.
Once a person lies, I become suspicious even of their corrected admission. This policy works well for everybody from naughty children to probable Chinese spies.
Deplorable Patriot has posited that the saline jabs are being used to help cover up vaccines that are showing too many side effects. That is not entirely unbelievable. I have an upcoming article on new developments in COVID vaccines, and the way that the tech is developing, leads me to believe that they are moving in ways that will reduce side effects, but (and this is very important) THEY ARE NOT ADMITTING THIS.
Let me repeat that. It’s scientifically obvious that the industry is responding to the dangers of the vaccines, but they are not admitting that this is the motivation for their response.
Yes. The industry is moving toward different vaccine technology that seems likely to have fewer side effects, AND possibly less OVERALL (systemic) immunity. BUT at the same time, that technology will require MORE vaccinations. So it’s SMART if you’re the industry. AND it’s actually smart science.
But the point is, the industry is reacting in the same way that they would be if CDC was secretly instructing “read-in” administration centers to give saline to the riskier patients as a kind of temporary “mid-stream correction” to an overly aggressive vaccine, WITHOUT scaring people away from vaccination, which seems to be a [WRONG-HEADED] “prime directive” at CDC. CDC has already lied to us about people getting the disease after vaccination, when CLEARLY the terrible PCR test is picking up the vaccine itself – which it MUST in theory. And which it does for quite a while, because the vaccine itself turns out to be WAY more persistent than it SHOULD BE – a fact that they HID.
The “COVID after vaccination” thing is not just an obvious lie, when vaccine RNA should set off PCR tests – it is such a fundamental flaw in the protocol, it simply has to be intentional at SOME level in the controlling bureaucracy.
And we KNOW there are people in the controlling bureaucracy, like Rick Bright, who ABUSE their positions based on AGENDA. It turns out that Rick Bright not only sabotaged HCQ – he sabotaged EIDD-2801, a new drug which is orally active, unlike remdesivir. He was so “behind” the vaccines that he threw monkey wrenches into early treatments of all kinds.
Bottom line – CDC can’t be trusted. BUT they seem to be motivated by the left’s morality, which is that “lying is OK, as long as it’s for the good of the listener”. So – the only thing we really need to change to make “saline injections” understandable, and BELIEVABLE, is to give them a positive moral raison d’être used on participants at SOME level.
That is where Aubergine’s idea hit me like lightning. Even if it is not strictly true that they are “studying” people “in the wild” with saline controls, THAT is the exact clinical mentality of a secret project, once it is underway. That is how you COULD get people to do such things.
But then once that morality is on the table, Dep Pat’s idea makes sense, too.
I COULD EVEN ARGUE IT MYSELF FOR THE CDC, PRETENDING TO BE NEUTRON NANCY (“Radium” Rod Rosenstein’s sister, Nancy Messonnier, who just retired, by the way, thank goodness).
“The vaccine is too strong. People will be getting boosters later. They will be getting safer, second-generation vaccines. We can’t increase vaccine hesitancy by admitting the full spike protein is too strong. FOR NOW, for the riskiest patients who want a vaccine but are contraindicated, just give them saline. The numbers of reactions will also fall, and that is a benefit. Remember – vaccine hesitancy is the MOST IMPORTANT THING. It must be avoided at ALL COSTS.”
Of course, if one did this, one might also feel, based on MORALITY, that one would have to recommend continued mask wear, “to do all one could”, lest the “saline-vaccinated” get the ACTUAL disease and expire.
Make sense now? “Positive leftist deception morality” explains quite a bit. One only needs to ask WHICH LEVEL OF COMPROMISE people are “bought in”. Nursing Home Killer is obviously bought in at a higher level – probably “overpopulation” – where “more bodies now” may be necessary to “fix the terrible problem”, rather than just a few “white lies”.
See? This is for their own good! I should get a secret medal from Obama!
*ROLLS EYES*
Yeah. That is where we are now.
Making sense? It does to me. Lies upon lies upon lies upon lies.
“For our own good.”
And made “acceptable” by BLESSED SECRECY.
SO – in my opinion – we may have more luck positing the left’s deceptions as “morally righteous” than “wickedly insidious”.
Although, I will admit, sometimes “wickedly insidious” is more fun.
