This is a Wolf Moon Emergency Wednesday Post. You ain’t gonna get the usual stuff.
This is a perfect opportunity for me to address this whole question of QAnon, Trump, “a pause” and the existence/nonexistence thereof, “The Plan”, etc.
Try to imagine a continuum of infinite dimensions (that would be reality per se) but let’s watch it progress in one particular dimension (“time”) with all possible states moving forward.
The socialists have a vision for how this should happen. The forces who backed Trump have a different vision. Blah blah blah. You all know all this stuff.
The Trump years (2016-2020) were obviously characterized by the leftists, globalists and their allies doing everything in their power to resist movement in a Trump direction (“America First”), but also by a lot of great things happening, and our learning the REALITY of how they actually worked.
There are other agendas layered into that whole conflict, which have goals in different dimensions, but you understand that.
To me, “the pause” is code for Trump accepting his bogus electoral loss and ending the brief advance in an America First direction. Whether it was a mutual decision with the deep pro-Trump forces in the military and civilian government or not, Trump clearly didn’t have the stomach for a civil war. At some point, a decision was made somewhere, not to push “a return of honest government” any harder than they did. It probably would have turned into something that only the evil would have benefited from, IMO.
Yet you will notice what 3-4 years has bought us – a new position – wiser, savvier (IMO), and with massive discreditation of the opposition. The enemy at the highest levels has had to openly call for assassination of Donald Trump, through the evil Kagan, husband of the evil Nuland, and clearly connected to the highly discredited CIA. They’re that beside themselves.
I am one who has no problem maintaining long-term realistic optimism against extreme short-term negative realism (I don’t use the term pessimism, because it tends to be unreasonable). Time is the gift from God that allows a gradient of wonder to be created. He sees it, and it is good – by definition. Accepting the GIFT of time is not a problem for me.
I have FAITH in our MOVEMENT toward increasing TRUTH and defined (though sometimes conflicting and ill-defined) GOOD. I hope that you do, as well.
I believe that Q provided helpful guideposts for us, from the viewpoint of a small group within the military which has an excellent understanding of the big picture. They are not so much in control, as in understanding of controlling things. They do have control of certain things I choose not to talk about, though the other side looks desperately for them, and that is why I choose not to talk about these things. But most of the things the Q folks seem to have, are understandings of what is inevitable, and what is not. Some of that is reflected in the Q posts.
Think of a big chess game, with two players following rules. Add many, many players, add even more rules, and add possibilities to cheat, but also add emergent realities that cannot be cheated.
THAT is the game in play. THAT is the level of “control” that people have. And for the very smart people behind Q, that level of “control” is more than enough to taunt the enemy, to encourage down-hearted people on our side, and to give oxygen to our movement.
Yes, there was a kind of pause – we all know it. The advance under Trump has been “paused” by conceding our righteous turn, to a horrible administration called “46”, which came between 45 and 47.
I am not afraid to have faith in what comes next. ALL of those infinite possibilities in those infinite dimensions, advancing in that one dimension called time, are fine with me – precisely because of my faith in God.
I hope that all of you find, strengthen, and renew that faith. God bless you all!
(WAIT BEFORE READING THIS – we’ll do it together later in the post.)
… on February 17 tells me who is living rent-free in her mind. February the Qth was no accident. And yet – at this point – her little deniable taunt has almost no effect. Rather, it smacks of desperation.
We “know”. We simply know. No amount of calling us “Know Nothings” will save the coup. It’s that simple.
Ah, yes – that would appear to work both ways, for as Thomas Wictor once pointed out, Donald J. Trump may in fact be the most revolutionary President this country has had since EITHER Washington or Lincoln – take your pick.
And they’re TRIGGERED.
The anti-Trump embedded Soviet Democrat apparatus – of which Jenn Rubin is now a painfully, even humorously obvious member, is at this point in an all out war with something they can’t even admit exists, because THEY were the ones who backed themselves into a corner of “know-nothingism” about the QAnon psy-op.
And when I say “psy-op”, I’m really minimizing, because it’s becoming quite clear that the QAnon “anti-coup” is much, much bigger than just the simple world-wide deniable psy-op that it presented on its earlier surface. In fact, “the Q we knew and they loved to denigrate” was like just a single coronavirus spike on the total package, but one with UNDENIABLE, LOGICAL, and FORENSICALLY IRREFUTABLE modified features that pointed with great certainty toward its ORIGIN and TRUTH.
Yes Jenn – you lose TWO TIMES on THAT exact point. ENJOY THE SHOW.
Q is so big, when you understand its true extent and magnitude, that it becomes quite easy to see why it simply scares the HELL out of these people.
The irony is particularly rich here, and of course absolutely exemplary of the fact that the LEFT – of which Jenn Rubin is a “card-carrying” member – is all about accusing others of what THEY either DO or ARE.
NO – the leftists, both the open ones on the left and hidden ones on the fake right, are ON THE ROPES NOW – quite authentically – after having been ROPE-A-DOPED by the one guy who totally got Muhammad Ali at a Sun Tzu level – his authentic friend, Donald J. Trump.
As the electorate is gradually and continuously – as in “nothing can stop what’s coming” – wising up to how the Washington sell-out elite has sandbagged us for well over a century – more so since the advent of FAKE NEWS – the old reliable WEAPONS of the left are simply falling apart.
It’s rather glorious.
Of these weapons, DUPES are among the greatest prizes that Trump has liberated from crypto-Bolshevik worldview captivity. Speaking from my own experience, there is NOTHING – and NOBODY – like a wised-up DUPE to take down communists.
The greatest example, IMO – the great Whittaker Chambers.
Whittaker Chambers offered a rare “view from the inside” of the core communist conspiracy here in America. If you are not familar with his case, you can look, for instance, here.
The fact that I’m bringing Whittaker Chambers up at the same time as Tom Cotton and other former #NeverTrump, or maybe even Jenn Rubin and Alger Hiss, is not due to the inherent similarity of their VERY dissimilar cases, but rather because I want to make an incredibly important point.
DUPING – DECEPTION OF UNDERLINGS, TARGETS, THE OPPOSITION, AND EVEN BYSTANDERS is a CONSTANT across all levels and reaches of communist conspiracy. The duping of Whittaker Chambers and Alger Hiss by their masters differed only from the duping of Jennifer Rubin and Tom Cotton in the type, nature, and specifics of the lies used to get them to behave as desired.
Even within the hierarchy of committed communists, an extraordinary amount of deception occurs in EVERY interaction. It is a nearly, if not exactly, Luciferian economy of lies – not unlike the “carbon economy” that the “climate commies” almost imposed upon us through THEIR army of dupes. One cannot even begin to unravel communist conspiracy without, at every turn, considering whether a player is KNOWING, UNKNOWING, DECEIVED, or ALL OF THE ABOVE. Indeed, Senator Joe McCarthy’s greatest mistake was – in my opinion – failure to sympathize with the dupe – or – more specifically – to sympathize with the dupe in every player.
If you can’t see yourself as a communist pawn, as McCarthy eventually became, you cannot see what they’re doing. It’s a battle with THE LIE itself, and everybody loses a little in the process.
When you understand that the most diehard opponents of communism can easily become its most reliable and predictable marionettes, ready to jump through the right hoops in the left’s next false puppet show (Sea Island conservatives, anyone?), THEN you understand what we are truly up against.
So have a little sympathy for Jenn Rubin – she’s gonna need it. She – like all the rest of us – has been a dupe of the left.
NOW – it’s time to talk about another player in the larger drama – both a DUPE and a DUPER – namely Bill Kristol.
This piece has the NeverTrumpers in a snit—they hate when real journalism exposes what total frauds they are and the left wing interests that fund NeverTrump’s scam. So please share far and wide to further agitate Rick Wilson… https://t.co/GkHwQIbTY7
Look right there, folks. Both the deceiver and the deceived are on display. A DUPE of the left, just passing on the DUPAGE in new ways.
But where does this come from?
The very TOP of Bolshevism – a long time ago – would be my answer.
Deception is a way of life for these people, and it’s not pretty. Bolsheviks – the deepest of the politically deceived, embrace it with every part of their body.
So where does Bill Kristol, the ringmaster of NeverTrump, fit into Bolshevik deception? In my opinion, somewhere down at the hoodwinked Menshevik, CIA tool, familial Trotskyist, “conflicted conservative in a progressive Reform temple” level (the latter being the LITERAL description of similar NeverTrump “conservative” Michael Bloomberg).
I have a LONG, OLD Twitter thread on Bill Kristol and his “pink diaper” background, something critically necessary to understand his essential nature. Sorry if this FIRST enigmatic tweet of the thread does not make immediate sense. Twitter suspended the amazing researcher who I am referencing here. Which brings up a very important point. Twitter bans researchers only in part to remove them. Much more importantly, Twitter does this to hide THOUGHTS, EVIDENCE and KEY REASONING.
This Twitter thread, taking a long and fascinating route, explains WHY we saw the bizarre event of Bill Kristol’s NeverTrump BullWanker Boys defending Kamala Harris and Russian red diaper hoaxer Jussie Smollett from a bad joke that ended up backfiring when taken literally by MAGA Twitter.
I can sum up where the thread leads very simply. Self-deceiving dupes like Mensheviks are CRITICAL to “sell the goods” down the line, and thus FAKE CONSERVATIVES like Kristol, Rubin, and assorted Merry Mensheviks are created, promoted, and amplified to feed the Soviet Fake News with America’s version of Pravda and Izvestia. Whether it’s to promote sabotaged memes like free but unfair trade, used to support world socialism, or to protect core players like Heels-Up Harris and Cryin’ Jussie, fake conservatives have profound uses to the radical left – they are NECESSARY.
Check it out if you’re interested – otherwise, let’s “move on”.
It’s time to RETURN to Jenn Rubin’s paywalled Washington Post opinion piece.
First of all, there is NO WAY that I’m going to ask you to subscribe to that Soviet Fake News monstrosity, the Washington Post, just to see one bogus opinion piece by Jenn Rubin. Ridiculous! And yet – well – you would do well to read it, just to see how the screaming has gone up by an order of magnitude. SO – if you DO have a subscription to this horrible rag, then here is that link again:
When Ivy League-educated, formerly sane politicians spew conspiracy theories, debunked talking points and contempt for science, the question often arises: Do they believe this nonsense (i.e. have they become thickheaded by listening to Rush Limbaugh and watching all that Fox News?), or are they cynical purveyors of claptrap designed to woo unsophisticated voters? (Disclosure: I am an MSNBC contributor.)
That query came to mind when Harvard Law school graduate Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) descended into sheer quackery and decided to perpetrate conspiracies about the origin of the coronavirus. The Post reports:
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) repeated a fringe theory suggesting that the ongoing spread of a coronavirus is connected to research in the disease-ravaged epicenter of Wuhan, China. Cotton referenced a laboratory in the city, the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory, in an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” He said the lab was near a market some scientists initially thought was a starting point for the virus’s spread.
This is unadulterated nonsense, one step removed from anti-vaxxer rubbish and UFO-spotting. (“In response to Cotton’s remarks, as well as in previous interviews with The Washington Post, numerous experts dismissed the possibility the coronavirus may be man-made.”)
Jenn Rubin, Washington Post, February 17, 2019
Nasty! And it gets worse.
Notice how “The Post” is layering opinion onto their own biased reporting, but keeping them separate, to keep the accusations of – well – WHAT THEY ARE CLEARLY DOING – in check.
Jenn Rubin is resorting to Alinsky ridicule here. Of course the Alinsky press – her employers – are not going to call her to task for being proven WRONG during the following week, as China indeed began to back off strongly on the origins of the virus, as scientific evidence is now CLEARLY showing human manipulation of the protein sequences – changes which simply could not occur though normal evolution. TAMPERING is clear. I don’t particularly care what China’s NEXT excuse is, just like I don’t particularly care what Jenn Rubin’s next attack on our side is.
Listening to Fake News FIRST is almost always the FIRST MISTAKE at this point.
Well, look at that. The Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda rag finally admits what I’ve said for a month: coronavirus didn’t start in Wuhan food market. So where did it originate? Time for answers from CCP. https://t.co/UTvcjvrHNz
Yes, look at that. Just FIVE DAYS LATER and Jenn Rubin goes under China’s bus of continually restated LIES. Nobody had to wait 28 days.
Jennifer Rubin, not only LIKE Communist China, but ALONG WITH Communist China, has simply lost credibility.
You want the news on the coronavirus?
READ OUR THREADS and follow along as we SLOWLY and PAINFULLY figured it all out, gathering honest thoughts on it from all over the web, and coming to the same conclusions gathering NOW, that the science actually started to show at the beginning.
IT WAS A CHINESE BIOWEAPON, “SOMEHOW” ESCAPED, AND NOW BEING DECEPTIVELY INFORMATION-CONTROLLED BY CHINA, THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, AND AMERICA’S FAKE NEWS COMPLEX. INCLUDING JENN RUBIN, PERSONALLY.
Yes, let’s put it very plainly. She’s enabling the Chinese Communist lies.
Yeah, one might have to use their brain to sort through all that discussion and discern the emerging and evolving consensus, but hey – that’s our WHEAT-CHAFF SORTER. Jenn can’t do it, because she’s a PERSON OF THE LIE. AWAY, CHAFF.
Yeah. It’s complicated. “Know-nothingism.” Sounds a bit like “old scientific skepticism”. I LIKE IT.
Just because you don’t UNDERSTAND IT, Jenn, doesn’t mean it’s not REAL. You may have to do some adapting to the new world.
Now if you want to see WHY Tom Cotton has earned the IRE of the “bio-blood-hoaxing socialist set”, with their Soviet/Maoist biowarfare schemes disguised as “whoops”, just check this out:
This is politically correct pablum, @DrTedros. The greatest enemy is of course the virus, not hurt feelings or fear or stigma. All this kind of idiocy does is make people question the WHO’s priorities. https://t.co/ser1Qqqxf7
Archived as an image, because socialist Twitter is likely to suspend Tom Cotton and delete his content at some point.
Daughn’s reply to this is SPOT ON. In a sane world, WaPo and Jenn Rubin would have to answer for their tiresome and pathetic ass-covering on behalf of China, WHO, and the damned virus itself. Daughn would have a column in a truthful WaPo, and Jenn Rubin would be LEARNING how to make those blueberry muffins from Daughn. And not very well, I suspect.
Now, it may be that Jenn Rubin doesn’t have a TASTE for what China and the rest of world communism are resorting to right now, and is having some difficulty facing the truth of a NEW HOLOCAUST of her own side’s making, but, as Whittaker Chambers could have told Alger Hiss when he decided to come clean….
“That’s too damn bad. It’s time for the TRUTH to be told.”
Kinda funny. Q said these folks wouldn’t be able to walk the streets. Between their own crimes and their own damn virus, it sounds about right. But we’ll wait for a court to tell us the truth. We’re patient, and we believe in rule of law.
Maybe Jenn Rubin will have her own Whittaker Chambers moment.
But she does seem kinda nervous now, doesn’t she?
And now, we get onto the final part of this response. A teaching moment about American Bolshevism, so that people can actually get a flavor for the degree to which American Bolsheviks can and will sell this country out.
It is much easier to convince you of Jenn Rubin’s mild, almost funny sell-out, when you see REAL sell-out like this guy. To go along with “Uranium Girl” Hillary Clinton, we once had “Polonium Boy”.
Let’s talk about GEORGE ABRAMOVICH KOVAL.
When you read about THIS:
You usually think about THESE people.
Sometimes, you think a bit more modern, too.
The person you DON’T think about is George Koval, because you never heard of him.
Koval is MUCH more embarrassing than the Rosenbergs, because he exposes a lot of history you’re not supposed to know about. That history includes a deep schism in Judaism between Zionists and Socialists – one which is either EXACERBATED or SMOOTHED OVER as a kind of historical transistor, creating a massive “handle” on Jews for manipulation by Bolshevism. Moreover, if you follow the Koval story, you will see how LONG AGO the Bolsheviks learned to weaponize fluid borders, human migrations, persecution as cover for spy insertion, and all kinds of nastiness which is NEVER, EVER covered in American leftist public schools or academia.
When the Soviet Democrats finally took complete control of media, education, and even history itself, you stopped hearing about the Rosenbergs, but you NEVER EVEN heard about George Koval.
Koval was a far less “glorious” traitor than the left-romanticized Rosenbergs.
I mean – I have a strong INTEREST in nuclear history, and I didn’t know about this guy until just recently. But this guy was GOOD. Very good. Bad for America, but VERY GOOD for Soviet Russia.
Here is Wikipedia’s quick synopsis of Koval’s significance.
George Abramovich Koval (Russian: Жорж (Георгий) Абра́мович Кова́ль, IPA: [ˈʐorʐ (ɡʲɪˈorɡʲɪj) ɐˈbraməvʲɪtɕ kɐˈvalʲ] (listen), Zhorzh Abramovich Koval, December 25, 1913 – January 31, 2006) was an American who acted as a Soviet intelligence officer for the Soviet atomic bomb project. According to Russian sources, Koval’s infiltration of the Manhattan Project as a GRU (Soviet military intelligence) agent “drastically reduced the amount of time it took for Russia to develop nuclear weapons.”[1][2][3][4][5]
Koval was born to Russian Jewish immigrants in Sioux City, Iowa. As an adult, he traveled with his parents to the Soviet Union to settle in the Jewish Autonomous Region near the Chinese border. Koval was recruited by the Soviet GRU (military intelligence), trained, and assigned the code name DELMAR. He returned to the United States in 1940 and was drafted into the U.S. Army in early 1943. Koval worked at atomic research laboratories and, according to the Russian government, relayed back to the Soviet Union information about the production processes and volumes of the polonium, plutonium, and uranium used in American atomic weaponry, and descriptions of the weapon production sites. In 1948, Koval left on a European vacation but never returned to the United States. In 2007 Russian President Vladimir Putin posthumously awarded Koval the Hero of the Russian Federation decoration for “his courage and heroism while carrying out special missions”.[6]
I urge you to read the ENTIRE Wikipedia article, because it will open your eyes to a reality which American communists – AMERICAN BOLSHEVIKS – have gone to ELABORATE PAINS to hide from us.
You have undoubtedly heard about a nation called Israel. Well, that one wasn’t the problem. It’s Stalinist competitor, in the Soviet Union, on the border with China, where George Koval was INCUBATED and then SENT BACK TO AMERICA – that was the problem.
Oh, the face-palm of Stalin’s attempt to compete with Israel by creating a socialist alternative does NOT end with the rainbow flag. His first pass at “excuseniks” in the late 1930’s – which was again used to send all kinds of deep red diaper into the US and Israel in the 1970’s and 1980’s – was simply to go into the region and crack down on reactionary religious Jewish practice, so that he could provide persecutory cover for all the deeply atheistic and communist spies to “flee”, which he then sent out into America AND British Palestine.
“Excuseniks” was one of the most brilliant and diabolical ideas the Bolsheviks ever came up with.
George Koval didn’t just magically decide to betray America. A LONG, SLOW process of exposure to AMERICAN COMMUNISTS prepared both Koval and his family for his eventual betrayal of this nation.
NOW – here is the big take-home point that is not going to be easy to digest.
This shit did not end in the 1940s.
It CHANGED, but it did not end.
People are going to have to get used to the idea that when McCarthy was “removed from relevance” by the FAKE NEWS of the early 1950s – manipulated into an idiotic collision with the military and then media-marginalized into a dismissal narrative – that was only the beginning.
Bolshevism then began a slow and steady march that was UTTERLY unlike the straw man of “red scare” communism which the Bolshevik elements in media used to falsely ridicule their opponents.
History is not what you thought it was. FAKE HISTORY – the result of decades of FAKE NEWS and FAKE ENTERTAINMENT – was used to take choice, freedom, and knowledge away from you.
Slowly, carefully, but surely.
Start with George Koval and Jenn Rubin. Study them. Then and Now. Compare and Contrast. Note the differences. Note the similarities. Note the purposes.
Just take some time, because you will need it simply to realize how LONG Fake News has been herding this nation toward the Old Russia Ranch, and now the Same Old China Slaughterhouse.
One was a spy. One is a modern propagandist. Both of them, however, pretended to be things that they clearly were NOT, in the interest of advancing socialism.
Trust me – FAKE CONSERVATIVES are going to be one of the very first classes who are not going to be able to walk the streets. And if you want a historical model for how this works, look at Nazi collaborators in post-World War II France. They kinda kept a low profile to avoid getting their heads shaved, in vengeful concentration camp style.
I will be straight-up here – I don’t even wish a good head-shaving on the American Soviet collaborators. Not even jeers on the street, although – well, it couldn’t happen to nicer communists. However, I do hope that the SPOTLIGHT OF TRUTH shines rather strongly on WHAT THEY DID, and maybe there are some – COUGH – retirements.
Remember. And not just THIS.
They tried to pull a COMMUNIST COUP on us.
Using reverse-blame LIES.
And they KNEW they were LIES.
TIME TO WAKE TF UP.
If these coup inciters, enablers, and PLOTTERS can’t actually walk the streets, maybe that’s not such a bad thing.
If you actually look at Drudge any more – if you can stomach the relentless negativity – you can see that it’s simply not the same.
Or later…..
And of course with the “Heroic Bernie” artwork you will see below.
There is some interesting history on the downfall of the Drudge Report, which may explain things. Once you hear this stuff, you will realize that there is NO HOPE for the Drudge Report.
Indeed, I regret to inform you that the DRUDGE REPORT is DEAD.
You are hereby STRONGLY ADVISED to FIND A REPLACEMENT. And WE are going to HELP.
Hey, it’s not like I’m the only person who noticed…..
What’s Going on With Drudge? Rasmussen Claims ‘Matt’s Not There Anymore…Word Is He Sold’
One can even go back to the late 2018 and see that an author at the wonderful site Fellowship of the Minds could see something was VERY WRONG over at Drudge Report.
Now – a third piece (link also below) was published still later, and it is the biggie. Note that all three of these were published AFTER Fellowship Of The Minds was TAKEN DOWN by WordPress, before being restored later, without apology, and with total damage to most if not all previous links.
In the third post, Dr. Eowyn of FOTM recalled the site history on Drudge, and put together a fascinating timeline. This timeline points out that prior to FOTM being taken down, Eowyn had noted the problems with Drudge, only to be suddenly abusively attacked by a previously sugary poster who denied any such change in Drudge’s site. Let’s just say that it sure seems like a “ROLCON” taking action to me.
I believe that I may have even been one of the commenters who left a rare comment on one of the two earlier FOTM articles on Drudge, which Eowyn mentions in the THIRD article, regarding rumors that Drudge had a new left-leaning boyfriend.
It turns out that Eowyn investigated this claim, and found what appears to be some sort of relationship change which happened around or before January 2016.
A couple of our readers speculated that Matt Drudge turned to the dark side because he’s gay and has a new boyfriend. The never-married and childless Drudge has consistently denied the rumors of him being homosexual, but in January 2016, Southfloridagaynews.com reported that he had given away half of his real estate holdings to Juan Carlos Alvarado, his roommate of eleven years.
THIS then figures into some kind of combined BUSINESS PLUS FAMILY relationship change, which Eowyn discovered in the following article and the video it references. You can read about it in the FOTM piece, the article below, or just check out the video.
The bottom line here is that PERSONAL CHANGES in Matt Drudge’s life brought him back into the company of leftists and Democrats, so that is very likely a factor, in addition to BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP CHANGES.
Allow me to dump some links that are helpful for getting even finer details:
Now – there is ONE OTHER LINK that I think is VERY critical to look at. I believe that this connects to Dr. Eowyn’s earliest observations that Matt Drudge was getting “wobbly”.
Matt Drudge Might Have Sold Drudge Report or Just Sold Out
There is something in this article that shocked me. See if you can pick up on what that was.
Some are reporting that Matt Drudge has moved left politically to please his new owners. Allegedly, he signed up with Google recently. Google had purchased his father’s website, RefDesk.
Others say a former Weekly Standard writer — a never Trumper — bought Drudge Report.
Matt Drudge, the founder and editor of the influential site DrudgeReport.com, has hired Daniel Halper, two sources familiar with the move confirmed to POLITICO.
Halper was most recently Washington bureau chief of The New York Post, a position he held for just under a year. Halper was previously online editor at the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard and in 2014 published the book “Clinton Inc.” It was not immediately clear what his new position will be at The Drudge Report.
He’s out there, and he does have some interesting comments that show he’s maybe a Weekly Standard kinda guy, although probably not a communist spy like I suspect his namesake may be.
Is this guy related to FAHT BASTAHD? I have no idea, and I’m not sure it actually matters.
Drudge Report simply ain’t the same anymore. I think it’s safe to say at this point that Drudge Report was GOOD WHILE IT LASTED.
One of the problems with the “Drudge model” of extreme privacy and isolation from his fans, is that the mystery of the site allows for silent decapitation and replacement. That has a lot of effect. So naturally, if an adversary wanted to take over Drudge report AND not indicate WTH was going on, that would work very nicely to mislead millions of voters. So thus I find it kinda interesting that Drudge got wobbly BEFORE 2016, and then descended to new depths of wobble before 2020.
WHATEVER. It’s done. MOVE ALONG.
Do I Need a Drudge Replacement?
The answer is most assuredly YES. Every minute that you hang out on Drudge, you are exposing yourself to what amounts to communist propaganda, forwarded to you by sad tools of America-hating globalists and Trotskyist Kristol-family CIA puppets. You are letting #NeverTrump decide what you need to be reading.
I mean, COME ON. Chris Christie on a BICYCLE.
Now, there are people who are going to tell you stories about how you “need to hear both sides”, and that it is therefore not a problem that Drudge is “leaning left”. They will tell you lies that “you need balance”.
There is a problem with that – the ASSUMPTION OF SYMMETRY.
Consider that you have an idea that is very close to the truth. Some LIAR comes along. He says “you need to hear both sides”. “The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.”
You see where this goes? Right?
COMPROMISE WITH SUCCESSIVE LIES – EVEN THE FIRST – WILL DRAG YOU AWAY FROM TRUTH.
YOU. DO. NOT. NEED. TO. COMPROMISE. WITH. LIES. OR. LIARS.
EVER.
EVER.
EVER.
NOT EVEN THE FIRST TIME.
Are we good? Do you see?
You really need to DROP FAKE NEWS like a RED HOT STEAMER!
And DRUDGE is now FAKE NEWS.
Drudge Replacements
We now turn to the problem, of who to turn to, to replace Drudge.
Not everybody needs the same medicine here. So I’m not going to recommend ONE. I’m going to recommend THEM ALL, and give you the tips that will help you pick the right one FAST.
All of them have great features. I’m going to point them out. And what I DON’T like as well.
Option 1: THE LIBERTY DAILY
The Liberty Daily is probably my favorite, because it keeps as much of the Drudge Report as possible, but it has an outraged sense of humor which has really grown on me. Almost every reference to nasty Democrat Jerome Nadler prefaces his name with “Stomach-Stapled Stalinist”. Likewise, “Bug-Eyed Burbank Bolshevik Adam Schiff” is seen almost daily.
The famous Drudge format is kept – albeit with too many ads. Red text, columns, simple underlined text, and one or two big items, probably with a picture.
This is an excellent option for those who LOVE Drudge for its simple, familiar look and feel.
What if – instead of trying to STAY with Drudge – you went to an aggregation site that was MOAR? What if the site tried to be almost a SUPER-AGGREGATOR – to aggregate the aggregators?
This site is highly recommended by Dr. Eowyn of Fellowship Of The Minds. It is also highly recommended by ME. If I wasn’t so hooked on some of the stupid features of The Drudge Report, I’d go STRAIGHT to Whatfinger.
Check out the MIX of styles that Whatfinger uses to provide a wide variety of information. Also, the text is very BIG for us oldsters.
Very nice.
There are then PAGES AND PAGES down, just like that, with TONS of items in three columns.
Example:
And it just keeps going on – TONS of information – WAY more than a typical Drudge Report.
Option 3: CITIZEN FREE PRESS
You can tell how effective Citizen Free Press is, by the fact that WordPress sends their links STRAIGHT to the SPAM BUCKET – if not simply deleting the posts as “KNOWN” SPAM, so that I never see them, even in the spam bucket.
People here are frequently 100% UNABLE to post links to articles with CFP URLs.
I’ll be blunt – Citizen Free Press almost certainly has a case to SUE WORDPRESS – or more specifically their parent company, Automattic (automattic.com). In particular, the spam control vendor Akismet is almost certainly involved in this censorship. But no matter who is at fault, for a few thousand dollars, an IT forensic firm could EASILY prove that Citizen Free Press is somehow being blacklisted. (HINT – you want a JURY TRIAL).
Note that I generally like WordPress – but that “like” does not extend to not pointing out that they or their spam operation Akismet are interfering with our free speech by limiting the speech of CFP. Yes, we can use “tricks” to get around a SMALL part of the censorship, but not most of it.
Valued members of our community who persist in posting things that WordPress does not like, but that WE DO, risk being nearly PERMA-BANNED to the SPAM BIN.
Sorry. We are NOT putting up with this.
Note that it would be dead easy for WordPress to provide baseline tools to keep people out of spam – but they DO NOT provide these. Nor does Akismet. Likewise, there is no machine learning of who gets liberated from spam, to KEEP THEM OUT. Oh, this is HIGHLY intentional. It would give the PEOPLE control.
Like I said, easy lawsuit.
Now – back to our regularly scheduled article.
Citizen Free Press is like a . . . . . L – O – N – G – E – R – , – S – P – A – C – E – D – – – O – U – T . . . . . version of the Drudge Report. Each section is LONGER and H I G H L Y _ S P A C E D and in RED, WHITE, AND BLUE.
I will only give you SAMPLES of each section.
Personally, I just don’t like the look and feel of CFP. All that space makes me very uncomfortable. However, MANY people love the site.
My thinking is, if you are still on Drudge, TRY THIS. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Here goes. It’s YUGE and there’s MOAR! I’m cutting a LOT out here…..
Option 4: THE BONGINO REPORT
The Bongino report – like everything else about our lovable fellow patriot Dan Bongino – is DRAMATIC.
That’s just his schtick. Bongino does DRAMA. He does TICK-TOCK. He does BOMBSHELL, and EXPLOSIVE, and HANNITY and LOVELY SARA CARTER.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. SIGH. But still, if you LOVE THE EXCITEMENT (and we all need to feel that TRUMP RALLY EXCITEMENT of POLITICS AS ENTERTAINMENT), then you may want to try a WRITTEN version of Dan Bongino – a kind of TEXTCAST instead of a PODCAST.
One of the things I REALLY like about the Bongino report is that it has a nice mixture of TEXT and VISUALS.
I also like that it’s SHORT and SWEET – a lot like the Drudge Report. Maybe even shorter.
The Bongino Report is slick and professionally produced. A lot of folks like that. It’s very “Fox News without Paul Ryan”.
Give it a look. If you’re on Drudge and the other alternatives look too primitive and amateurish, even by Drudge standards, then consider The Bongino Report. It’s CLEAN and ATTRACTIVE.
The following is an example of the Bongino Report IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Option 5: GAB TRENDS
There is no Drudge replacement option that is more rebellious than Gab Trends. While there is commenting on some of the other sites (such as CFP), Gab is the leader in free speech commenting, and Gab Trends is infused with that capability.
Again, the basic format is standard 3-column Drudge, but there is deeply built-in voting and commenting.
Give it a look. You may like it – especially if you already like Gab. Like Gab, the commenting leans more toward young, anon, alt-right, non-boomer, etc. Could be exactly your thing!
Option 6: NOQ REPORT
The NOQ Report is a little like all of them – something like a mixture of Whatfinger, Bongino Report, Drudge, and Citizen Free Press. It’s a nice average, and you may like it.
One of the best features, for those who like categories of special interest, are the categories of special interest that float at the top of the page, and are shown in some of the images below. Each menu item in the menu bar has a nice menu of popular alternatives (LIKE GUNS!) underneath it.
Check it out. NOQ Report is very no-nonsense. They also don’t give out much information about themselves – PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA – so I can’t really say much more.
Option 7: NEWSAMMO
NewsAmmo is beautiful simplicity, and I think a lot of Drudgies would migrate here if they knew about it.
NewsAmmo is almost “more Drudge than Drudge”. The site is clean, simple, and designed to be easy on the eyes. They don’t even have those “upper left corner” headers like Drudge – the title is right at the top. No excess frills.
IMPORTANT: It’s specifically intended to be good for mobile devices.
You’re gonna love it, even if you ultimately choose something else. It is the work of anonymous patriots in Texas and Nebraska. It has a very comfortable feel for that reason. Folks just like you.
Option 8: ZENITH NEWS
Zenith News (https://zenith.news) is ALMOST a Google replacement. Imagine Drudge Report designed around SEARCHING through it. That is what Zenith News is – DRUDGE SEARCH.
It’s best to take this one TWO WAYS.
First, look at the SEARCH PAGE which serves as the homepage.
Now you can click directly in the top menu to go to different news categories and functions, but let’s look at a SEARCH first. Let’s say you are going to “Drudge” specifically for news about something. Well, try searching HERE instead, and you WILL get results – like these.
I searched on “elise stefanik impeachment” (no quotes). Here is what I got.
Alternatively, the same search terms, but clicking on images, gave me these:
Now, if instead you go to the top and click on “Z-News”, you will get a “Zenith-curated” selection of news, a bit like the Drudge Report, but in one column with pictures:
Likewise, clicking on World News will give you PLAIN OLD NEWS about everything, in two columns.
There are MANY other functions here that veer away strongly from the rest of the pack, and I’m not going to cover them. There are ways to SUBMIT ARTICLES. There are ways to register and log in. Zenith is much more than just an aggregator – it’s like a fledgling alternative news agency.
Check it out. VERY interesting. A proud product of WYOMING.
Option 9: INFOGALACTIC NEWS
Infogalactic is a bit like Wikipedia, but it has a news function – Infogalactic News – that is a LOT like Drudge Report.
Infogalactic News seems a bit youngish and “alt-right” to me. It’s almost like the Twitter Banned Alt-Right built their own Wikipedia, Google, and Drudge Report.
Not necessarily a bad thing. Will you like it? Take a look!
The list of articles is a bit shorter than what you get with any of the others, BUT there are a few interesting differences:
every article cited is ARCHIVED (with a link)
for every article, a link to an Infogalactic SEARCH is provided
two pages are issued per day (AM and PM for that day)
links at the top lead to the prior and next page
At the bottom of the page is a list of people (and links to their sites) which gives a flavor, IMO, of the content chosen for the site. Do you like those people? If you do, Infogalactic News may be just the right thing for you.
We finish our roundup of Drudge alternatives with one that feels a LOT like a conservative “super-Drudge” – known as Rantingly.
If none of the other options seem appealing, try this one.
Rantingly has good coverage of Twitter pundits and Twitter threads. It’s also more visual than Drudge, yet the link text feels very much like Drudge Report.
SO – my recommendation?
Give them ALL a try!
And do you know what?
I’m just betting you can find one that brings back the magic of the old days!
