Was “Trust and Safety” a CCP Trojan Horse?

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……

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.

BUT BACK TO THE ACTUAL STORY…..

Trustina Applegate

Darren Beattie of Revolver News had one of the biggest stories yet on censorship in Big Tech.

LINK: https://www.revolver.news/2022/12/revealed-eric-holder-fingerprints-all-over-apple-trust-and-safety-department-during-2020-election/

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.

Allow me to interject with a meme here…..

Moving on…..

But THIS is where the DOJ comes back into things. The next tweet (28) is like discovering Eric Holder working at Twitter.

Jim Baker? You mean SPYGATE Jim Baker???

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.)

CISA

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….

  :wpds_arrow:  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

Be sure to include links and screenshots as well as details on the misinformation and your jurisdiction.

EXCLUSIVE: GOP Rep Calls On CIA Director To Address His ‘Strong Ties’ To CCP While At Helm Of Elite DC Think Tank

  • 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. (RELATED: Biden’s New Green Energy Adviser Has Ties To Chinese Communist Party Front Group)

DHS hires new cybsersecurity adviser ahead of 2018 midterm elections – Washington Examiner

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 Joins DHS as Senior Cybersecurity Adviser

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.

Changemakers → Clara Tsao

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.…

Alicia Wanless is the director of the Partnership for Countering Influence Operations at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Wanless is a PhD Researcher at King’s College London exploring how the information environment can be studied in similar ways to the physical environment.

Her twitter account is PRIVATE….
https://twitter.com/lageneralista

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”.

Fact Checker Lies – Disproving Phony (and Possibly Planted) Evidence to Discredit The Whole

I have made it a minor hobby to study the Soviet methodology of “fact checkers”, who have raised political lying to a fine art. I even now use the word “snopesing” for one such technique, which I discussed long ago on my old personal blog.

Anatomy of a False Snopes Debunking

Today I was happy to discover a textbook Google/Snopes false debunking, yet also with some interesting new elaborations that made it…

https://wolfmoon1776.wordpress.com/2017/02/18/anatomy-of-a-false-snopes-debunking/

That post was actually a fun re-read right now. I encourage you to check it out. Snopes basically took a huge victory for our side, and reframed it as “untrue” by using a misleading strawman.

REALLY. Y’all are so obvious, Snopes. “Nopes, Snopes.”

Basically the “Snopes” technique amounts to “disproof of an adjacent strawman”. In that technique, a FALSE COPY of what is to be disproved, is either found or constructed and then disproved. The disproof is headlined OVER-BROADLY, so as to appear to show that the truth was “debunked”. It leaves the liars’ enemy – truth-tellers – babbling “Bu-bu-bu-but that’s not the actual case – THIS OTHER THING is the real story.” Maybe so, but the truth didn’t get out ahead of the LIARS – nor did it come back FAST and EFFECTIVELY, making the liars “bleed from their eyes like furies”. The technique puts the truth on DEFENSE, even in the case of a WIN, like the example I gave.

Today we look at something similar in principle but different in what is lied about, which involves disproving not a similar strawman scenario, but instead a conveniently accusatory piece of fake evidence, in such a way that it looks like the larger thing which was supported is what is disproved.

In the same way that we condensed the Snopes example to “disproof of an adjacent strawman”, we can call this one “disproof of false shilled evidence”.

One could likewise call today’s technique “disproof of Judas facts”.

Getting the “Judas facts” picked up by a MARK for the other side is KEY. I’ve watched this in action before, so I know what to look for.

Here is today’s example.

ARCHIVE: https://archive.ph/Y3l8s

This technique is actually a GREAT WAY of not just taking something down, but of negating something on its strongest point.

Allow me to explain how this works, from the Donkey Com perspective.

  • you are confronted with a Trump rally which was arranged fairly quickly, and was extremely well-attended. People are noticing. How do you get the Dem base not to notice that their peers are turning out for Trump, and to make sure they sneer at the NEXT Trump rally? How do you keep MAGA voters thinking THEY are a minority? How do you actually turn the facts around?
  • using different mechanisms and compartmentalization, you do the following
  • you have somebody tweet an even larger photo of a DIFFERENT rally, and have them claim it’s this rally. This is most likely a “fake MAGA” shill on Twitter. The best technique is to feed the fake photo to somebody like – OH – maybe a conservative commentator who is known to “borrow” and re-post photos without checking too closely. (This is a bit like “entrapment”, which we know the left never does.)
  • you request, call out, or perform a “fact check” on the photo, perhaps using a reliable “blue-check” on Twitter, or you feed it to your own “fact checkers” on Facebook
  • you “debunk the photo” in a misleading way, that makes it look like the Trump rally was actually small – not that one photo of it was too large and from a different rally
  • you make sure that the “mark” is sufficiently embarrassed and chooses to “go silent”, rather than to admit to the con job (which would enable crowdsource forensics) – then you go forward with the “fact check”

See how that works? It’s like a “debunking gun”.

Go back to the title above. What does it say?

Photo shows a “massive” crowd at a Trump rally in Wisconsin on Aug. 5, 2022.

What is next to the title?

So what EXACTLY is “false” here?

Now, the important MISTAKE that you are SUPPOSED to make here, when you don’t click the link, is to think that the Wisconsin Trump rally was not well-attended, and that “MAGA” had to resort to “fake pictures” to pretend that it was well-attended.

You’re supposed to put THAT fear-based or schadenfreude-gifting story into your brain, and just move on – don’t click on it. It’s PSYCHOLOGY.

The TRUTH is simply that the picture is of a DIFFERENT Trump rally, in Pensacola, Florida.

Here is the complete crux of the issue, which is admitted deep in the core of the “fact check”.

“But recent social media posts used an outdated photo to tout the size of the crowd.”

That’s it. It’s ALMOST the same “nothingburger” of BAD JOURNALISM that the left does all the time, and forgives itself for, routinely.

But don’t think I’m defending bad journalism – as you will see.

Thankfully, we can still see the DELETED TWEET where conservative talk show host Benny Johnson EXCITEDLY shared the image on Twitter.

BAD MOVE, BENNY. But good that somebody saved it.

LINK: https://www.truthorfiction.com/benny-johnsons-trumps-enthusiasm-is-bigger-than-in-2016-deleted-tweet/

ARCHIVE: https://archive.ph/ldRqq

This analysis is from “Truth or Fiction” – a MUCH better “fact checker” site. As you can see, they are “showing their work”, so we can do some forensics.

Ask yourself – do you really think this Benny Johnson would tweet an easily confirmed “wrong picture” of the event if he KNEW it was a bogus picture? No. He’s not that stupid. But he WAS as stupid as I have been, sometimes, and forwarded a picture from a “surely reliable source” that turned out not to have been reliable.

If you remember TEN-GOP, then you know how easily people can be fooled on sources.

In my opinion, after looking over Benny Johnson’s Twitter, and reading this tweet, I think he really believed he was forwarding a picture of the rally. THEN, he was embarrassed by his own lazy image “borrowing”, and lack of fact-checking. In my opinion, it is likely that he was the victim of a rather smart discreditation operation, and is NOT simply a bald-faced and stupid liar. Loath to admit that he grabbed somebody’s photo off the internet and assumed it was real without checking or doing BASIC JOURNALISM, he just deleted the tweet and moved on, cutting his losses.

Could have even been an intern, for all we know. If so, TRAINING is needed (ask Wray!!!).

SO – bad journalist or both a bald-faced liar and stupid as hell? I’m going with bad journalist. At least for now. This seems confirmed by the opinion that Benny Johnson rarely deletes stuff that offends leftist sensibilities.

Normally, things would end there. Dude made a mistake. But that’s not what the left wants.

They want an ISSUE that they can exploit for MILLIONS of impressions.

So what they do is take the error and REFRAME IT exactly as you see.

They likewise use this for clickbait elsewhere, as a “FEATURED FACT-CHECK”, on OTHER “fact checks”. That is, in fact (cough), how I found this one – while looking at a NASA conspiracy theory debunking (which STILL does not work for me, but that’s A DIFFERENT STORY with far more troubling implications).

FALSE. That’s it. FALSE.

But let’s call the left on this a little bit.

Why didn’t the “fact checkers” call this MOSTLY TRUE? Why didn’t they call it “PARTIALLY TRUE”? Why did they not, at the least, call it “SOMEWHAT TRUE”?

They would CERTAINLY do that for a Biden rally or an Obama rally – AM I RIGHT?

A picture from a DIFFERENT Biden rally with 24 people instead of 12? Would that not get a pass? Maybe 120 instead of 12?

Let me speak for them. They would have been more honest.

“So while the photo is NOT a photo of the Biden rally in question, it is in fact a photo of a different Biden rally, taken during the 2020 election campaign.”

MOSTLY TRUE.

Here is how “PolitiFact” takes their carefully misleading question and goes from there to calling a well-attended Trump rally “false”, while pretending to just be honing in on an evidence problem.

PolitiFact conducted a reverse image search of the photo and found Trump’s son, Eric Trump, shared it on Twitter in November 2020. At the time, he used the image of a large, apparently pro-Trump crowd to push the false claim that the presidential election was rigged.

Molly Beck, a reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, quote-tweeted Johnson’s now-deleted tweet and said the photo in question was not from the Aug. 5 rally. She also pointed to Eric Trump’s tweet as the source of the photo.

The scene depicted in this older photo does not match photos shared by reporters who were on site at the Aug. 5 Wisconsin rally. Media photos show a smaller crowd and a different event layout.

In the older photo, two large screens that read, “The best is yet to come!” can be seen. This was a slogan often used by Donald Trump during his 2020 campaign.

Meanwhile, media photos from the recent rally show two screens displaying the event’s speakers, including Trump, as well as a large, blue sign that said, “Save America!”

Additionally, photos from reporters show there were three bleachers of roughly the same size behind the stage at the event. But in the 2020 campaign photo, there is one large set of bleachers in the center and two smaller sets to the left and right.

Our ruling

Social media posts shared a photo from Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign and claimed it was of an Aug. 5, 2022, rally in Wisconsin.

The photo in question does not show the Aug. 5 rally and can be traced back to a November 2020 tweet from Eric Trump. It also conflicts with several photos taken by reporters on site at the Aug. 5 Wisconsin rally.

We rate this claim False.

Whatever.

Conclusion

Now you know why it is IMPERATIVE to confirm materials from our sources. The left will ABUSE any error on our part.

AND – if it turns out that the source is suddenly dubious, you really need to DIG INTO the error, rather than running away.

BURN THE SOURCE TO GET TO THE TRUTH.

For me, the classic example of digging into a bogus meme and finding shocking truth was the ZIM shipping meme that Valerie brought here. I will not lie – Val brings an enormous amount of disinformation and CRAP here – but it was all worth it, to reset my thinking on how many of the elite skated on 9/11. She found some of the best circumstantial evidence, outside of convenient stock moves in the days preceding 9/11, that many top people knew the operation was coming. Whether these people were conspirators or just high-level would-be victims who got tipped, people knew the op was coming and did a GTFO.

Technically, the meme (which I cannot find now – it’s on Gab) was wrong on the length of ZIM’s lease at WTC, using waffly language to make 30 years of separate leases ending in a 10 year lease, into what was easily misconstrued as a 30-year lease. Likewise, it personified ZIM as the Rothschild family, who may or may not have been the controlling financial interest in the Israeli firm at the time. WHATEVER. Other than that, the meme was shockingly accurate in throwing 4 Suspicious Cats at ZIM’s ridiculously convenient and hasty move – despite a world of fact-checkers and “crusaders against antisemitism” waving their hands and saying “don’t look here”.

HA. The CHUTZPAH. It BURNS.

Closer to the current example, I watched a Breitbart journalist get set up with bogus information on Loretta Lynch – basically identifying the WRONG Loretta Lynch (a Clinton associate) as being Obama’s corrupt nomination to replace Eric Holder. This resulted in a defamatory article and a STEALTH RETRACTION BY BREITBART (“what article?”) – which was then (apparently) used to silence Breitbart completely on one of the most corrupt nominations in this nation’s history, since Loretta Lynch was a SORORITY SISTER of Eric Holder’s wife. Not a WORD followed on the REAL SCANDAL, after Breitbart was misled by SOMEBODY into publishing an ERROR.

Face the facts. CORRUPTION IS RAMPANT.

And they will say and do almost ANYTHING to cover it up.

We have ALWAYS got to be prepared for DISCREDITATION – but in my opinion, if you PUSH BACK on the discreditation and ADMIT YOUR ERROR – whatever it was – you automatically level up as a TRUTH WARRIOR. You will OFTEN find that the other side did something to entrap you.

Why?

Because WE value the truth and THEY do not.

PUT ON YOUR BELT, to hold up the PANTS OF CREDIBILITY.

Stick with the truth. No matter how unexpected, embarrassing, or unbelievable. At the same time, be BOLD in pointing out likely malfeasance, and MAKE THEM ANSWER OR RUN AWAY.

Wolf Moon’s Perspective on the 2022 May 3rd Ohio Primary Election Results

You will notice that I didn’t just entitle this post “Wolf Moon’s Perspective on the Ohio Primary Election”. You see, due to Democrat lawfare in Ohio, Ohioans are actually going to have TWO Ohio primaries this year. There is a SECOND one in August, thanks to Democrats.

It’s a complicated story, but the Cliff Notes version is this. The Democrats plus their narrow majority in the state Supreme Court have enabled the communist DNC to completely disrupt the electoral process. So why would they do that? Well, in my opinion, it’s because disrupting the electoral process, and particularly the redistricting process, is the only form of “control” that Democrats still have in Ohio. In order to LEAD and in order to REMAIN RELEVANT, while not actually serving voters, Democrats will resort to literally anything to “set the agenda” and thus to appear to be in control.

Because there was no time for the Republican Secretary of State to resolve issues involving state districts in time for the May 3rd primary, all those candidates are kicked down the road to an August primary.

And do you want to know who’s behind this madness?

Eric Holder. And, next up the chain of commie command, Obama, the actual “Soros president”.

Seriously, Eric Holder is behind the Democrat electoral lawfare in Ohio. The strategy is called “Sue until they’re blue.” I have this knowledge directly from the mouth of Ohio’s current and next Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, who THANKFULLY won his primary.

See how this works? Once the Democrats – and George Soros – control the Secretary of State, elections will turn the state communist. You cannot vote your way out of communism, and you almost can’t keep from being falsely voted INTO IT.

Complicated business.

Anyway, this leads directly into one of the things I want to talk about, so let me GO BACK to the beginning, and explain what this post is all about.

Elections have consequences, and this election was a BIG ONE for Ohio – possibly bigger than the general election. Is MAGA going to dominate Ohio, or is “Kasich Republicanism” – a toadie of the globalists and Democrats – going to creep back into control? I spotted the big races very early, and have mentioned them in several posts during 2021 and 2022.

Here is a quick bibliography of some of the posts most directly concerned with Ohio races.

How Mike DeWine Used BLM Marxists To Shut Down Patriots

(December 20, 2020) This is where I saw how DeWine was not only going to sit on his rear end, in Kemp and Ducey style, over the stolen election – he was going to let people in his administration help the other side. Tsk-tsk! His people openly helped BLM drive patriots away from the Ohio Statehouse. Shame! This was the beginning of the massive anti-DeWine vote that we saw last night in the Ohio gubernatorial election. DeWine’s failure to stick up for Trump – and more importantly for RULE OF LAW – alienated a large part of his base.

On the bright side, Ohio probably got constitutional carry (coming in June) because DeWine was desperate to get past the primary. More on that below.

The MAGA Gold Rush In Ohio

(February 19, 2021) This is where I immediately spotted the race to replace Senator Rob Portman as a key juncture in the future of Ohio politics. My early favorites were Josh Mandel – a DIEHARD MAGA Trump supporter – and Jane Timken – the state party chair who won the state for Trump in 2016, and who kept the state pro-Trump for 4 long years.

That Trump chose NEITHER ONE to endorse – well – THAT is a big story I will get to later in this post.

Earliest Tremors of MAGA in Ohio

(July 21, 2021) This is where Trump’s endorsement of Mike Carey came into play, and shook up Ohio MAGA. Trump was not only grabbing the steering wheel from the GOPe – he asserted dominance over where the MAGA movement was going to go. Most “non-establishment” Republicans were favoring other MAGA candidates. Trump chose Carey and stuck by his guns. The Trump endorsement RULED.

This post, and several referenced therein, are also worth reading if you want some nitty-gritty on strange happenings in Ohio politics, thanks to Dirty Devious Democrats always trying to jimmy the machine of Ohio Republican Machine Politics.

Wendy Rogers and Jenna Ellis Endorse Josh Mandel for Senate

(September 3, 2021) Mandel came out STRONGLY against the stolen election, and began hosting media appearances / voter engagements in churches. The media did everything possible to downplay these events. Things were definitely heating up. Josh was winning my vote.

Jim Renacci Challenges DeWine: NO VACCINE MANDATES. PERIOD.

(October 28, 2021) This stance won me over completely to Renacci. Ohio simply cannot afford to keep making the mistakes of lockdowns, mandates, and other DEMOCRAT POISON PILLS. DeWine keeps getting sucked into deadly virtue signals. Renacci is naturally skeptical of such nonsense.

Dear KMAG: 20220124 … Gear Up For The Great RINO Vacation of 2022

(January 24, 2022) By this point, the Renacci candidacy had a lot of promise. The thought of getting a RINO out of office was approaching reality.

Could America Have Another Florida?

(April 3, 2022) This is where Renacci almost made it. “Ohio could have had a DeSantis.”

The May Primary Results

So now let’s get back to the results of the primary.

There were THREE races on the ballot that mattered most to me.

Secretary of State – Guardian at the Gate

This was an important vote. I’m not sure why the LaRose defense of Ohio from George Soros (LaRose can’t say Soros – he has to say “Holder”) isn’t more of a story on the right, but Ohio is literally one office away from turning communist like Colorado. One Jenna Griswold and we’re done. Pennsylvania-level fake elections would be the rule.

Trump’s complete endorsement of Frank LaRose showed that Trump knew DAMN WELL that Ohio needed this fighter back on the job in 2022. Yeah, LaRose had to play a fine line with saying that Ohio elections were secure, and admitting that America has a FAKE ELECTION problem, but it’s quite obvious now, with the evidence presented in 2000 Mules, that elections are a WAR in America.

There are a bunch of write-in and small-fry candidates for Ohio Secretary of State, including “Tore Says” blogger Tore Maras, but the actual SoS will be either Frank LaRose or unqualified Democrat activist Chelsea Clark, who appears to have been hand-picked by Holder.

https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/elections/2021/07/07/hamilton-county-democrat-chelsea-clark-running-forohio-secretary-state-2022/7879937002/

COLUMBUS – Forest Park City Councilwoman Chelsea Clark announced a Democratic bid for Ohio secretary of state Wednesday. 

“I’m running for secretary of state because politicians in Columbus like (Ohio Secretary of State) Frank LaRose have embraced MAGA lies, pushing voter suppression and massive purges from our rolls to stop Ohioans from voting who don’t always agree with them,” Clark says in an announcement video. 

Clark is one of many Democrats who oppose GOP election reform proposals, which would limit drop boxes and eliminate voting on the Monday before Election Day.  

Clark wants to extend early voting to 35 days, set up automatic voter registration and eliminate voter purges. “It’s a constitutional right. Not use it or lose it,” she said. 

This woman is, IMO, a Soros / Holder cheat-enabler of the worst kind. If she becomes Secretary of State, “real” elections are history.

I watched my vote get scammed at the drop box by cheating Dems. NEVER AGAIN. Get ’em out.

LaRose has been a god-send, and Ohio needs him back on the job, standing up to Eric Holder.

My only quibble with LaRose is that he doesn’t realize that the cheating is even WORSE than what is publicly known – that it’s even worse than he thinks. LaRose is very savvy to the lawfare angle, and THANK GOD for that. However, his trust in voting machine technology, including tabulation technology, is probably too high, IMO. Even for a special forces type who likely GETS how amazing spy tech can actually be.

When confronted with questions about machines being “on the internet” or not, LaRose shows (IMO) susceptibility to the smooth narratives that voting machine companies can be believed, trusted, or even trusted after “routine” inspection of machines.

No. Just NO.

The reality of dirty, rotten, left-controlled tech (which I understand, because I’ve been on the inside) is that people in management and their dirty tech lackeys LIE in the most amazing and almost impossible-to-prove ways. Even simple definitions are used to derail legitimate inquiries.

When people like us say machines could be “on the internet”, what we mean is that ANY kind of cellular or electromagnetic connection to the machine (via radio waves, microwaves, WiFi, cellular, RFIDs, whatever) counts as putting the machine at risk. This kind of tech can be easily added to circuit boards with little or no visibility. The first layer of risk is an actual modem of any kind – announced or unannounced. The next layer of risk is circuitry that can effectively function as a modem, receiver, transmitter, or other communications device.

Just consider RFID technology, and how something like a CREDIT CARD – still in a wallet – could be used to interact with a voting machine of any kind, as long as it has circuitry that can interact with RFIDS. If there is the slightest corruption in the company or its contractors – many of which are not even in the United States – then the compromising technology will not even be published in the specs of the machine. Only a VERY skeptical electrical engineer – likely with some cyberwar experience – examining the hardware before and after the election – is likely to even ask the right questions.

Are you starting to understand how easy it is to CHEAT in the DESIGN of voting or tabulation machines, as long as you sneak a few CIA-level “Q” types into the voting machine company design teams? OR their contractors?

This is a no-brainer. Voting machine design can be subverted to enable cheating. Do not trust the machines – EVER. And now that we’ve got a paper trail, it’s time to DOUBLE the watch on the tabulation machines.

In any case, LaRose won, and now it’s time to make sure he can take on Chelsea Clark.

US Senator – Will Ohio Send MAGA to DC?

The answer is almost certainly YES now.

This was a resounding victory for Trump, in light of Trump’s JD Vance endorsement. What’s even sweeter to me is that unendorsed MAGA candidate Josh Mandel – strongly supported by “Club For Growth” PAC (meaning Koch brothers and Chamber of Commerce) as a way to take down Vance, still managed to beat the Ohio GOP Machine candidate Matt Dolan. Dolan isn’t actually a terrible candidate, but (IMO) he’s still likely to be part of the “Decepticon” problem that Sundance always rages about. Dolan would be one of the first in line to bless any properly presented war. Dolan would support Mitch McConnell – because he’s a machine guy. Dolan would support whatever the UNIPARTY all agreed on – to the detriment of actual Americans.

In my opinion, Trump endorsed Vance because he trusts Vance to not be suckered by the GOPe or the UniParty. Mandell is similarly MAGA, IMO, but is likely to have a chain that can be pulled by the MIC, whereas Vance – though having a military background as well – is likely to be more skeptical of such neocon manipulations.

Beyond that, Vance is almost a pure political outsider. I believe that Trump saw a real opportunity here, to go AGAINST career politicians. In that sense, I think he saw Vance as being much like himself – and I would agree with that.

It was not hard at all for me to go along with Trump’s endorsement. I trusted Trump’s STRATEGY in going with J.D. Vance.

I believe that Vance is going to be able to win in November.

As for the others, Trump has a bunch of great people to raid for his administration. These are all excellent MAGA people – FIGHTERS – and we need them SOMEWHERE, IMO.

Josh Mandell
Jane Timken
Bernie Moreno

That third name is not in the list of runners-up.

Bernie Moreno is an interesting guy. I’ve listened to him – he’s an excellent candidate. He was actually one of the leaders in the race for a while. And yet, he dropped out of the race after talking to Trump.

“I asked for a private meeting with President Trump this afternoon to discuss the state of the Ohio Senate race,” Moreno said in a statement Thursday. “I am a businessman, not a politician. Business leaders recognize patterns before they happen. After talking to President Trump we both agreed this race has too many Trump candidates and could cost the MAGA movement a conservative seat.”

Moreno is the first to drop out of the GOP primary, and his departure came one day after he filed candidate paperwork with the secretary of state’s office. Also running for the nomination are former state treasurer Josh Mandel, former Ohio GOP chair Jane Timken, “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance, state Sen. Matt Dolan and investment banker Mike Gibbons.

Moreno, like several others in the race, used his personal wealth to boost his bid. He loaned his campaign $3.75 million last year and kicked off a $4 million TV ad spree in December, but his contributions began to decrease after starting strong over the summer.

Internal polls released by multiple campaigns in recent months show Mandel at the top of the heap, but they also indicate many voters are still undecided about their preferred candidate. Trump’s endorsement would help set the candidates apart, although it’s unclear if or when he’ll wade into the race.

Trump commended Moreno’s decision to exit the race in a statement: “He has done much for Ohio and loves his State and our great MAGA Movement. His decision will help ensure the MAGA Ticket wins BIG, as it is all over the Country.”

Looks like Trump was right. He cut back the splitters just enough to send a winning MAGA candidate past the machine boy.

Smart.

Governor – DeWine Saved by Splitter Strategy

This was a disappointment, because Ohio could have had a DeSantis, if Renacci had won. However, looking at the half-full glass, DeWine is a guaranteed win in November. Beyond that, it is very likely that DeWine understands he needs to move right on key issues where he can find support.

DeWine was presented with a constitutional carry bill shortly before the primary, and he did what he had to do, which was to approve it. But even with that nod to the base, you will note that the anti-DeWine vote (52% total) exceeds his own share (48%).

We may never know if Blystone was pushed by the media to protect DeWine from Renacci, or if Renacci was the machine’s answer to Blystone, or a little of both. No matter what, Ohio is now “stuck” with 4 more years of Mike DeWine.

Will I support DeWine? HELL YES. The man can and will keep this state out of Eric Holder’s grubby communist hands. Trump didn’t endorse Renacci, and – sadly – it was a smart decision, for whatever reasons Trump had. Trump may have realized that he would likely need to endorse DeWine in the fall. So be it.

I’m not going to question Trump’s strategy. Sometimes you just have to count the bird in hand and be thankful for what you have.

Will DeWine get fooled by more Democrat communist tricks? More than likely, yes. But Mike DeWine is a survivor. Schooled by experience, he is less likely to be suckered again. I can live with that.

Between now and November, we do need to beware of false flags on “gun violence”, which have been used reliably to manipulate DeWine. The “gun violence” angle appears to be Nan Whaley’s strategy against DeWine, presumably pinning him against his vote on Constitutional carry. The Ohio media will carry all the water they can for Democrats. Thankfully, Ohio gun owners are responsible, and we here at The Q Tree will be able to react quickly to counter false flag propaganda from DODGE, FIB, and now DHS.

Also, it looks like the Dems are pushing / forcing the “abortion rights” issue for November. It’s not a coincidence, IMO, that they waited for the Ohio primary to publicly disclose their Roe v. Wade SCOTUS leak. The “threat” to abortion will also be used to try to elevate Whaley. The “woman + abortion” card will be played hard.

Good luck, you horrible, cheating Democrats. MAGA will back DeWine to keep you communists where you belong. OUT OF POWER.

After DeWine, Ohio has lots of possibilities. Renacci is now very viable. LaRose would make a fine Governor, IMO. Jane Timken has a future. And Josh Mandel? Bernie Moreno? Lots of possibilities in a Trump administration.

The future is wide open. Our cornucopia is overflowing with MAGA talent.

Be thankful for what you have. It’s one of the first lessons of Judaism and Christianity.

Obama Did This

I think it’s important for people to realize that blaming Biden feels good, momentarily, but it has no effect for a REASON.

Blame is simply being directed to the wrong person. It will NEVER result in any change.

It’s not Biden.

It’s Obama. Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

Biden will NOT resign until Obama tells him to. It’s THAT simple.

Biden is just a figurehead – a punching bag – a LIFE INSURANCE POLICY that was converted into a rather cunning SHADOW PRESIDENCY.

Almost EVERYBODY in the Biden administration is an Obama retread. What does that tell you?

It’s OBAMA’S THIRD TERM. Won by Eric Holder’s four years of setting up a magnificent CHEAT.

Why did every Dem BOW OUT to let Biden win? BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WAS REALLY OBAMA.

We knew that Obama and Jarrett were a shadow “alternate” presidency of the Deep State during Trump’s four years. And they are the REAL government now.

The good mother’s screed to Biden was well-intentioned, but it was delivered to a FRONT – to a FACADE – to a STAND-IN – the “old white guy” – who takes the heat for a lying, Muslim, communist traitor.

Take a long, good look.

This is Obama’s work.

W

PS – yeah, you can fight over whether Obama himself is just a puppet, but there is no better representation of the political cabal behind Biden, IMO, than Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

“Obamaism” is what drives this White House.

You want to say it’s somebody else? You want to prove to me that this is not SIGNATURE Obama?

Have at it. I’m all ears.

The Attack on Tucker Carlson is Classic Weissmann DOJ/FBI Treachery

I knew there was something wrong with the “NSA” spying on Tucker Carlson. NSA spying is traditionally SO deep and so quiet that nobody ever knows anything about it. That’s the way they operate. Big, deep, huge, silent, and NEVER give even a HINT of the magnitude, or the IDEA that it might be abused.

Blowing that on a journalist? Yeah, right.

Even a guy like Tucker.

NSA spying is designed to put all the data in a black hole, out of which any of it ONLY emerges if truly needed. It’s an interesting way to deal with the appearance and disappearance of evidence over time.

IF the cops are honest, and IF they are never conquered, THEN they can hold all our secrets in a black box and ONLY retrieve them if authorized. That’s the basic principle.

We can argue about that all we want, but not today. Just accept it as a REALITY. OK? It’s real. THAT is how the IC deals with the “moving real-time problem”. SAVE it all – sort it out later – LOOK AT IT in an outward-facing way ONLY if authorized.

That’s just the WAY IT IS.

So when we get this story – this NARRATIVE – about the NSA “suddenly” spying on Tucker Carlson – and then we get a story about them releasing information – NAH. It violates two things that I KNOW about an agency which has kept track of me my entire life – FOR GOOD REASONS.

ONE.

The NSA spies on ALL OF US – ALWAYS – ALL THE TIME – EVERYTHING. It’s all saved. There is no NEED to order some special spying on Tucker Carlson. That’s not how it works.

They have all my data. They have all Tucker’s data. It’s a done deal.

The narrative that they “started” spying on him, or even that they spied on him in some special way, is all wrong. It’s bullshit. Whoever came to him was either in on the op to influence Tucker, OR they are a pawn or cut-out in the operation – possibly a true and excellent friend of Tucker – but ANY implication that special spying was done on him is bullshit.

Now the NSA can’t go and deny this, because the TRUTH is untouchable.

Somebody on the other side knows that. An ASSHOLE named Andrew Weissmann.

But we’ll get to him in a minute.

TWO.

NSA does not go around “leaking” stuff, because to do so endangers their mission, their collection, and everything they live for. I’m not saying they don’t care – I’m saying that leaking – the creation of the slightest crack in their “defensive truth” – is not part of the “caring”.

We barely got any information about their HEAD GUY – Admiral Mike Rogers – going to a FISA JUDGE and saying that DOJ and FBI were abusing their data in shocking ways.

THAT is the kind of “leak” that sometimes emerges from NSA. As in, it’s about the NSA.

You know. Like SNOWDEN – a CIA operation.

NSA? They don’t go leaking about journalists. They don’t even leak about ME to counter my ratting out what I know but cannot prove about NSA. They don’t even leak about former NSA whistleblowers.

I’ve been a pain in NSA’s ass my whole life. I’m not going to divulge what they may have done to influence me, but one thing I can tell you is that they did not leak JACK. ZERO. NADA.

SILENCE IS THEIR PRIMARY WEAPON.

SO.

I believe that Tucker is the victim of a multi-pronged discreditation operation as part of a SET-UP to a media-government hit job. I think that Tucker did the EXACT right thing going public with us. I think that NSA data about him WAS and IS going to be used in a hit job on him. But this is NOT an NSA “leak”. Its ABUSE of NSA data.

It’s somebody ELSE doing the leaking.

I think that Tucker was UNMASKED exactly like Trump was – by rogue elements in DOJ, FBI, and/or the Biden administration. I think somebody OTHER that NSA illicitly unmasked and grabbed his *NSA* data, and BLAMECASTED to NSA. Knowing full well – I am sure – that NSA would be stuck holding the bag, with a stupid response full of careful denials that look guilty as hell, and even more, that NSA will be too professional to “respond in kind”.

Now at first, I was just “pretty sure” of the above. I didn’t have what I though was “proof”.

NOT UNTIL TODAY.

Just watch this video, and who is in it.

ANDREW WEISSMANN. The sack of shit behind the MUELLER HOAX.

LINK: https://rumble.com/vjo527-msnbc-says-tucker-is-un-american-for-complaining-about-being-spied-on.html?mref=23gga&

There are very few people who CAN and WILL call out a dirty prosecutor like Andrew Weissmann for being the slimeball that he is, but The Last Refuge is one of them, and that is why that blog has been relentlessly marginalized by media assets of DOJ and FBI. If there is one thing I learned from Sundance, it is the centrality of Andrew Weissmann to the corruption in Washington – and in particular the DOJ and FBI.

Weissmann is HOLDER-LEVEL.

As soon as I saw WEISSMANN in this thing, I knew what this was – the SAME as when DOJ and FBI went after Trump.

This is MORE DOJ / FBI hoaxing and cover-up.

This is a PHONY INTEL WRAP-UP SMEAR – just like what they did to Trump. And they’re doubling the hit job by using NSA for cover.

Andrew Weissmann should be in PRISON – not out on the street talking to fake conservative Nicollle Walllace. Indeed, he WOULD be in prison, if there was real justice in Washington.

But there is not.

I’m sorry, to all you hopeful people, but I’m not waiting for Durham to do anything here.

But now we know.

Weissmann is back, and like DEMON, he will be causing trouble. THIS is just the beginning.

Unless, of course, somebody decides to actually do their job in Washington.

ANDREW WEISSMANN LOVES A FACADE – IT’S HOW TO SPOT HIM AT WORK

Beware The Ace of FIBs

You know, I can be such a chump. But I do have one interesting trait. When I get WISE to having been made a chump, I bring an extraordinary amount of justice with me.

The justice. Of truth. Known so that all can SEE IT.

No violence. The TRUTH can handle itself.

And the TRUTH is coming for FAKE ALI and all his “capitol-breaching”, Jussie Smollett, insurrectionist friends.

You know. The REAL insurrection.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Robert Mueller (L) laughs alongside Attorney General Eric Holder (R) and Deputy Attorney General James Cole (C) during a farewell ceremony in Mueller’s honor at the Department of Justice on August 1, 2013. Mueller is retiring from the FBI after 12-years as Director. AFP PHOTO / Saul LOEB (Photo credit should read SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images)

I said ALL his friends.

Oh, c’mon, man! ALL his friends.

Whoops. Wrong propaganda.

That’s more like it.

But wait – where’s Liz Cheney?

And how about that “QAnon expert” who knew about the plot back in November of 2020?

Yeah. There’s a LOT of folks who were part of it.

So, if we’re going to have some “information warfare”, why not strike the enemy on a holiday evening?

Yeah. Tonight is such a night. Today is such a day.

REVEL IN IT.

Today is not just me posting. It’s an AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION day.

It is a day which will allow patriots to prove themselves. Or not.

ENTER THE ARENA IF YOU DARE.

TIME has worked to our advantage. We can now SEE what was done to us.

We can SEE who the REAL “insurrectionists” are.

We can SEE who set us up. We can SEE who framed Trump.

We can see who ACTUALLY attacked the Capitol.

We can SEE who does not deserve respect. We can SEE who the REAL enemies of America are.

And there’s more. There’s always MORE.

You see – once you realize that ERIC HOLDER created the Oathkeepers in 2009, who were “sacrificed” on January Sixth to create the false narrative about REAL AMERICAN PATRIOTS that they needed, everything falls into place.

LINK: https://www.revolver.news/2021/06/stewart-rhodes-oath-keepers-missing-link-fbi-unindicted-co-conspirator/

The enemy is a LOT more sophisticated than what we have wanted to admit. A LOT more. And yet, they are SO STUPID for picking the wrong side.

SO – we’re not going to attack this whole thing today. It’s too big. But what we ARE going to do, is to look at the “Stop The Steal” scam, featuring FAKE ALI, and come to grips with HOW we were scammed.

IF ONLY I had trusted my gut on this, rather than letting “PC thoughts” convince me that a guy named Ali Akbar might be on America’s side.

Look at the date on this warning. I SAW THIS and IGNORED THE WARNING.

OH YEAH WE KNOW ABOUT THAT YESSIR.

So – here we are.

What I want to do, in particular, is drill down to how this scam operated at the level where PEOPLE HERE have relevant information – at the STATE rally level.

You see, I have relevant information. I’m sure others here do, too. They MUST. Why, I’m sure of it.

So – we’re gonna ante it up like a card game, until we have some serious PROBLEMS for Ali and his friends.

THAT will be coming later today. And I want to REST UP for it.

I’m going to post what I have written here now so people can start thinking. One person in particular will need to have some good information. And I ain’t gonna settle for BULLSHIT. We need stuff that seriously inconveniences our enemies. And SURELY somebody intimately involved in the Stop The Steal movement in their state can do exactly that.

But even if that person does not show up at our little card game, I am sure that the remainder of us will come up with some very interesting thoughts.

Talk to you later!

Summary of Game

MAGA Mom Offers Statement Prior To Betting

Wolf Recounts Proud Boys / BLM / Ohio Highway Patrol / FBI Involvement

Aubergine’s Experiences With Trump Rallies

Kalbo’s Experiences With STS Rallies and January Sixth

Do Leftists In Government Create Phony Secret “Manhattan Project” Responses To Their Phony Crises?

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”…..)

Video Player

Stated differently:

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.

Barr Lied, Justice Died

I used to think radical scoundrel Eric Holder was the most criminal Attorney General this nation ever had, but now I believe that honor goes to the man who single-handedly erased Donald Trump’s second term – William Barr.

ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And I want you all to not only see it, but be ANGRY AS HELL about what happened.

There came a point where the other side realized that they were not going to get rid of Trump by simple staged shenanigans like Charlottesville, which happened on August 12, 2017. Trump was IMMUNE to the Fake News media. His BASE was relentless in supporting him past phony “crises” designed to weaken him. 48 Hour Rule? We were giving him 90 days to prove himself the man of courage and honor that he was. Instead, each crisis only made Trump stronger.

Then, the treasonous, murderous FIB went further. They MURDERED 58 younger “Trump base” people at a concert in Las Vegas. Surely THAT would make Trump quit. Would Trump actually sacrifice his own supporters to the meat-grinder of the Deep State and their allies?

Trump beat even that. Not only was he not going to quit – not only did Trump’s base say “SHOOT *ME*, YOU BASTARDS” – Trump began the utter destruction of the image of the treasonous FBI, whose reputation among conservatives sank down to somewhere between pond scum and the East German Stasi.

Well, the Stalinists simply moved to next steps. “What if we kill 17 beautiful high school kids on Valentine’s Day? February 18, 2018. Surely Trump will give up!”

Yeah. Go to hell, Eric Holder. Not only did we not let you “brainwash us against guns” – we closed down your evil “Promise Programs” designed to subvert due process and CREATE propaganda events.

I think this is around the point where the powers who would KILL to evict Trump, decided that Trump needed to fed into an “exit program” that would eliminate him at the NEXT election – November 3, 2020. They lengthened their plotline to make sure it would WORK.

And how did they do that?

By “saving” Trump from their 2016 trap, while COVERING IT UP, but PREPARING for their 2020 trap.

It was SUCH a beautiful idea. SUCH a beautiful idea. Few plots in human history were ever as ingenious as the Barr plot. “RESCUE” Trump to give Barr credibility. Then use that credibility to IGNORE and then DENY the 2020 stolen election plot.

Barr is not STUPID. He knew exactly what he was doing.

And it is my PRIVILEGE as a simple honest human being to unmask him.

THERE WILL BE JUSTICE.

Dear KMAG: 20201016 Open Topic Special 3 Babe Moon Issue / OMG, This Chick Is Smart / OTOH, This One's Smart Glasses Ain't Workin' / The Wolf Who Cried "Boy!"

Free speech, yada, yada, yada. But don’t give Komrade Kamala any excuses to shut us down. This has been addressed elsewhere. Such as HERE:

TERMS OF SERVICE: https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/01/01/dear-maga-open-topic-20190101/

YOU KNOW THE DRILL.

Give them nothing but one more day to rue, and the wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Remain CIVIL and possibly even GENTEEL.

Today, in our VERY SPECIAL Three Babe Moon issue, dedicated to Tim Matheson who is not Chevy Chase, we have THREE SHORT LESSONS in politically incorrect WOLFTHINK.

OMG, This Chick Is Smart

I’m sorry, but…..

It’s almost comical how utterly qualified Amy Coney Barrett is for SCOTUS.

When I read her short argument invoking – of all people – Ruth Bader Ginsburg – to not just answer the question of why she won’t promise to recuse herself on anything, but to also explain that (yes, I may be extrapolating just a bit)…..

  • any promise of recusal would deprive the OTHER justices of THEIR say in the matter
  • and thus, basically, it’s an unconstitutional request
  • the question should never have been asked
  • the question should never be answered in the affirmative

…..at which point I then realized…..

  • pressured recusals are all a bunch of Alinsky BS and Goebbels misdirection by accusation
  • we’re all [useful] idiots for having ever considered the question
  • the left’s failure to EVER recuse is THEIR ISSUE, not ours
  • there need to be CONSEQUENCES for the left’s failure to properly recuse
  • if such consequences don’t exist or are underutilized, THAT is an issue
  • SCOTUS is damn near like church elders, tribal elders, or a communist cell, take your pick
  • our Democrat communists, communist Democrats, or whatever they are, have therefore been trying to sabotage the only working communism

……OK, sorry, maybe that’s pushing it a bit, but no – AT THAT POINT – I realized that this chick is SO smart, it’s obviously a crime that she’s not ALREADY on SCOTUS.

Yeah, somebody’s got some explaining to do!

ANYWAY, I have STILL not gotten my NOTORIOUS ACB T-SHIRT…..

LINK: https://secure.winred.com/nrsc/notorious-acb

…..so I can’t be as much of a fanboy as I want to, but that’s OK – she’ll be on SCOTUS for a LONG TIME, and every moment will be a VICTORY for Notorious RBG, who got replaced by a woman whose EVERY BREATH will remind the world that Trump FOOLED US ALL when he pretended to RESERVE the “Notorious Seat” for a woman, when what he was really doing was to appoint the smartest and best judge that he could – but he milked it for all it was worth in terms of the WOMEN’S VOTE.

Shrewd. Almost as smart as THAT CHICK with the blank piece of paper.

Or maybe SMARTER!

WHATEVER. We’ll just TAKE THOSE WINNAMINS!

OTOH, This One’s Smart Glasses Ain’t Workin’

This little tweet made me smile!

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Oh, that’s a good one.

YOU WILL RECALL…..

MS. S.E. Cupp is a CIA “fake conservative” used on CNN to “sweep up” the right edge of the Overton Window, which she has obviously been doing a piss-poor job of, since America decided to move the window in the other direction.

An irredeemable Trump-hater, she was even used in a “debate” with Van Jones in the 2016 election.

AS IF!

The reality, however, is that Ms. Cupp helped reveal just how HORRIBLE and FAKE the media in the United States, and even the entire SUCKER WEST, really is.

And of course, just as she was for CANKLES in 2016…..

Oh REALLY.

SO – BREAK OUT THE POPCORN…..

…..cuz CORN POP is goin’ down, and “C CUP” with him!

The Wolf Who Cried “Boy!”

I’m sorry, but I simply cannot NOT troll the Democrats about “Muh Russia“, so here we go…..

Talk about a “kiss and tell” picture!

Yeah, pass me the SALT, sugar! AYE-YI-YI.

I think people are still trying to figure out where the Democrat lies about Russia end, but leaving aside the easier treason of China, it’s safe to say that the Mueller Coupsters in DOJ wanted this lady GONE for some reason.

REALLY? WHATEVER.

If you want to hear the CRAZIEST story ever about an actual FBI informant and a Russian spy, at the periphery of The Hoax, you can read it all here:

LINK: https://www.deepcapture.com/2020/10/finale-the-deep-states-hillary-clinton-bribery-blackmail-sting-the-maria-butina-rape-murder-gambit/

I’m still trying to figure out what it all means. When I do, I’ll let you know.

All I DO know for sure is this.

WHATEVER is going on with Mary Butyne, the truth is BAD FOR THE COUPISTS AND THE COUP.

SO…..

We have a little over TWO WEEKS until the election.

This is the final stretch.

CALM. STEADY. TO VICTORY.

ADDENDUM: ACB Impact on Sessions Recusal

This is really part of the FIRST segment about Amy Coney Barrett, but it broke up the flow, so I am tacking it on at the end.

This gal Notorious ACB is SO SMART, that she “OH BY THE WAY” proved [to me at least] why Sessions’ recusal without consulting Trump, Mike Pence and others was a mistake.

By elucidating a fundamental principle – DUE PROCESS – Amy Coney Barrett is already fixing stuff.

And I repeat – it would be a CRIME not to vote to confirm this woman!

First of all, let us consider that the same RBG logic of ACB’s refusal to hastily recuse herself may likewise apply here – that the A.G. should not make the decision to recuse without discussions or at least prior notification of others OUTSIDE OF DOJ who are affected by the recusal, including POTUS, VP, CoS, head of FBI, Chief Justice.

NO SUCH discussion or notification PRECLUDES the A.G. from recusing in a proper and timely fashion if properly warranted. This is KEY. In fact, hasty [media-driven] recusal by the A.G. to CAST LESS SUSPICION ON SELF becomes a self-serving act (downside of all virtue signals) which may unfairly CAST MORE SUSPICION ON OTHERS, or in SEVERAL important ways deprive OTHERS of their guaranteed rights, particularly of DUE PROCESS. That is a complicated but absolutely powerful point, and it is clear to me that the LAWFARE GANG understood it, when they talked Sessions into a HASTY RECUSAL which DEPRIVED THE WHITE HOUSE OF PROPER REPRESENTATION.

It’s the SCALES, amigos.

This is an example of an “Alinsky WIN”, not by making the other side live up to its well-considered rules (which would be a DRAW), but rather by making the other side live up to its rules TOO MUCH. Owning the MEDIA allows this kind of trick to work.

Note that Comey saying “Trump was not being investigated” was not exactly true, but his lie and/or legal façade still mocks the basic TRUE principle of “innocent until proven guilty”. This has a huge effect on things, but before I get to that, consider more deeply the Comey grift.

We don’t know if redactions are hiding the fact that Comey’s statement to Trump that he was not under investigation was a LIE, and we further note that if Trump was being investigated as an INTELLIGENCE matter, that is not the same as a LEGAL matter. Likewise, any “investigation” of Trump was more likely being done as “incidental” to investigating others, and thus under greater “color of law”, if not actual “cover of law”.

IN ANY CASE, if Trump was DUE the respect of being “treated as innocent” by the Constitution, then there is absolutely no excuse for the A.G. not to share the still-open question of recusal with Trump, and to get his input or response. Any other POLICY of DOJ is likely to be an unconstitutional HOLDERISM. The MEDIA can insinuate whatever it wants – Trump was innocent until proven guilty, and was entitled to make an INNOCENT decision that he needed a FRESH and UNRECUSED A.G., and not an ACTING A.G. who might be corrupt, biased, or subject to inappropriate pressures (meaning Sally Yates or Rod Rosenstein). He could have then made this critical point to HIS subordinate, the Attorney General, to consider and possibly reject. Note that this is all about DUE PROCESS – the fact that we must not ASSUME guilt on the part of either Trump or Sessions, either in the past, or even more importantly IN THE FUTURE.

The fact that Jeff Sessions was TARGETED by DOJ staff to talk him into a hasty recusal and deprive President Trump of his rights may in fact be CRIMINAL. It was certainly LAWFARE, and thus I think it is very important to know if people OUTSIDE DOJ in the “lawfare” community had a hand in it.

Bottom line – somebody knew they could push Jeff Sessions into hasty recusal to create “The Hoax”, and do EVEN WORSE than to simply deprive President Trump of his Constitutional rights. Depriving Trump of his rights was THEN used for a political impeachment, likewise an abuse of power.

But we won’t get into THEIR crimes quite yet.

Dear KMAG: 20200821 Open Topic / Mask Article Coming / ChiCom Risks / Dealing With AQQusing Libs

This [Q+4]TH of AUGUST FRIDAY open thread is OPEN – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).

“Awkward Styles”

You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.

Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.

Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.

Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.

Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the OLD January 1st , 2019 open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.

ON PRAYER

My old ask to PRAY FOR THE PRESIDENT was getting stale.

TIME FOR NEW

It’s time to PRAY for those around Trump – all those people who we don’t trust as much as Trump, but who President Trump DEPENDS ON, every day, to GET THE JOB DONE.

I’m not going to pick out anybody by name – that is for YOU to decide.

But I want you to PRAY FOR OTHERS to lift up this President, so that he, too, can SEE THE POWER OF PRAYER even more clearly through them!

Doesn’t matter who it is – even NAMELESS people who may see his pen and signature. Even anonymous patriots who protect him and us every day. Even his wife, his Vice President, and thousands of others – pray for them all to LIFT UP PRESIDENT TRUMP in all possible ways!

And ONE final prayer request. Pray for the Trump brothers, specifically.

Until they meet again, fare thee well, boys.

AND WHAT TIME IS IT?

TIME TO….

DRAIN THE SWAMP

Our movement

Is about replacing

A failed

And CORRUPT

Political establishment

With a new government controlled

By you, the American People.

Candidate Donald J. Trump

Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Mask Article Coming

I have a great article coming, so I will keep this short. For now I want to encourage you to think about WAYS OF SUBVERTING the masks that DUMB US DOWN FOR CHINA.

We all know those brave souls who stand up to mask mandates openly, but not all of us are able to weather those storms. Some have tried and have felt beaten and demoralized. Some are leery to even try.

Too many people who ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT be wearing masks are being FORCED TO DO SO by “Karen World”.

I want to instill QUIET COLONIST REBELLION against hypoxia-inducing, cognition-decreasing, DANGEROUS masks.

Think about ways to rebel against the MASK NAZIS, and be ready for my article!

ChiCom Risks

Yes – let’s follow the story from useful idiot MASK NAZIS back to CHINAZIS.

Even Twitter is now waking up to the fact that China is doing everything possible to destroy America, and you will see this in my upcoming article on useless, dangerous, China-imposed MASKS, very shortly.

If Twitter has decided to END its hypocrisy in going after ONLY Trump, by labeling CHINA TWEETS as what they are, then at least their censorship is a little more even-handed, but I also think (at)jackboot is getting wise to the fact that CCP is using DNC like a rented mule. CCP doesn’t care if they destroy DNC during their get-away.

And that’s just the beginning…..

I am still SHOCKED by the indictment of Harvard’s *DEPARTMENT HEAD* Charles Lieber. Talk about going straight for the top. Top administrator at a top chemistry university.

Say what you will about Wray – this was a HUGE bust. Never in my wildest dreams.

Yes – what I saw in science was alarming. I was RIGHT THERE in the middle of a bunch of the world’s sketchiest ChiComs – AND YET I never heard ANYTHING about their “Thousand Talents” (OF SILVER) bribery program. That’s how well they kept this under wraps. And SMART, too – they must have known I would have raised a flag if I knew about Thousand Talents.

Sure, maybe I had nothing they wanted, but I never heard scuttlebutt of this program from ANYBODY.

Of course, maybe they only show researchers the “Thousand Talents” contract after the “perky little tits” have been shoved at potential recipients one time too many. I did “almost run into” some of that action.

Notice the name? The cunning joke of betrayal as a subtext? That is CLASSIC CHICOM. They love to CROW over their victims, with the victims not realizing what is going on. Or maybe the sell-outs DO realize that they’re selling out, because they have little choice, or it gets worse.

There is NO AMOUNT OF KARMA that the ChiComs don’t deserve here.

There is some talk that BANNON is a victim of CCP shenanigans. My thoughts…..

Bottom line – anybody who gets anywhere NEAR ChiComs or WHO THEY TOUCH is at risk. They will MESS WITH YOU in any way they can. They will SNAKE you with influence, spying, exfiltration, sabotage, or life and reputation damage through whatever means are possible.

It’s a real shame that one has to be CAREFUL A.F. with even the nicest, most honest, communist-hating Chinese Americans, but even ABC (American-born Chinese) are deeply and heavily infiltrated and influenced by the ChiComs, and if you have a Chinese spouse or “significant other”, prepare for dangerous and “interesting” times!

Reality doesn’t care about “it sure would be nice if everything and everybody was on the up and up”.

That ain’t the way it is.

Dealing With AQQusing Libs

Right now, when “Q” has been brought to the foreground by Fake News attacking POTUS, there may be a temptation to hang back. DON’T. There has never been a time like now to just dump Epstein and company all over the left. We own everything but “cannibals”, and who knows what is coming? And while you’re at it, jump up and down on “The Hoax” for all you’re worth! The HOAX that Q got right, and THEY got wrong.

Just attack on ALL FRONTS. Especially when you see a patriot under fire.

Here are some selections from a RANT THREAD on Twitter…..

One of the things I find devastating to the left is to make sure they understand they are reacting to a PSY-OP. I’m careful not to call QAnon “just” a psy-op – that diminishes a TRUTH PROJECT, and such things are grand endeavors. Q is way more than just a psy-op or a troll against the Fake News. But TWISTING the Q phenomenon off their shill position that it’s a “conspiracy” or a “conspiracy theory” is exactly where I love to go, in proving that THEY are not reporting it correctly.

They know it’s a psy-op aimed at them, and they can’t report it.

MAKE. THEM. GROVEL. IN. THEIR. FAKE. NEWS. DENIAL.

Anyway, time to get this wrapped up. I want that mask article to shake things up.

BE READY.

WWG1WGA.

INTO HISTORY, AND THE AGES.
