Treason: The Major Issues of the 2020 Election and The Ideological Pandemic

/in , , , , , , , /by

A global pandemic requires a global response and solution. This time it is more than just virus—it is ideology as well. Yes, a virus is invisible, but the criminals who unleashed it are very visible and well-known. That is the reason, publishing my latest column on April 12, 2020, I titled it Covid-19: A Fascist Terror Act against Humanity. I did it deliberately to remind you the history of the global crime committed by a Socialist/Communist regime—The Project of 1955. The Soviets sent the Project to all Socialist Camp countries to study and to follow the Soviet order. The covid-19 pandemic illustrates this ominous order. Only people who read or know the Project of 1955 can objectively assess origins of China’s covid-19 pandemic and the force we are up against. The Project bared its evil nature and the agenda of Socialism/Communism to achieve global control—a total destruction of capitalism, Western civilization, and its leader, the American Constitutional Republic.

That menacing agenda drove me to warn you for the last thirty-five years to be informed and ready for a disaster ahead of us.  I have introduced you to a Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov, who introduced the Soviet Ideological Subversion of America in Four Stages, a plan to destabilize Western civilization and destroy the global system of capitalism. Even more, I showed the infiltration of the Dems Party by the KGB, and its transformation by the traitors who led it. I did all of that, because I knew the Project of 1955, its methods and the tricks it used to succeed. Here is the latest example:

“While watching the so-called Trump/Dossier documentary in the 2017, it did not take me even ten seconds to realize that it was Russian “fallshivka” a fraud in front of me. Everything in the Dossier exposed the KGB’s handwriting: its arrogant manner of presentation, method, character with an aggressive and salacious tone to denigrate President Trump, the Republican Party, and to influence American opinion. It was a vivid picture of the incredible dirt being dumped on Trump, a typical Stalinist legacy of demonizing and attacking the opposition leader, used by the KGB.” I wrote that in my column The Global Spy Ring, January 1, 2018.

The History of Treason

The term KGB applies to the entire Russian Security Apparatus in my column. For me, the Trump/Dossier was the first sign of the KGB’s big scheme to fight personally President Trump from the first day he had announced his candidacy for the U.S. presidency. This successful capitalist had then become a very comfortable target to destroy and with him a political system designed by our Founding Fathers. In the KGB alliance with the DNC, everything that followed had been coordinated and calculated by the Obama/Putin Conspiracy. Our weaponized Intel has participated in the conspiracy. I had figured out that years ago. Look here at my column Failed American Intelligence, on August 1, 2018:

First: Anti-Trump “criminal cabal” was manufactured and organized by Russian Intel through Democrats’ leadership and the Clinton Mafia.

Second: Anti-Trump “criminal cabal” consists of two groups: the leadership of the Deep State and the leadership of the Clinton Mafia. Today, Rod J. Rosenstein of the DOJ is a connective link of the two groups.

Third: Anti-Trump “criminal cabal” is run by three individuals: Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Vladimir Putin. The three are working together for decades…

Forth: Investigation of this huge case of international espionage and treason requires deep knowledge of Russia and its Intel. The current FBI Director, Christopher Wray did not read my books, he doesn’t know that it took Stalin twenty-nine years to create and establish the Chinese Communist State. The structure, agenda, and ideology were identical in Russia and China. The two National Intelligence Agencies executed the same strategy, tactics, methods, and tricks, working hand in glove. Yet, there is a difference today: a billion hardworking Chinese people have achieved substantially more than the alcoholic and drug addled Russians…

 AG Barr is not “Disrupting Justice in America”

President Trump wasn’t the only one accused by the Dems of being a Russian agent. Three other Republicans have also been accused of the analogous crime with a common narrative: collaboration, connection or helping Russia in disrupting the 2016 election. It was the second KGB stage of confronting the Republican President Trump that I noticed a familiar KGB behavior. The abuses of power, methods, and dirty tactics used against General Michael Flynn, Carter Page, and George Papadopoulos testified to that—the FBI created crime, like Stalin did in Russia…

General Michael Flynn went through hell for three years of FBI investigation. As we know now, Flynn was entrapped, which is a deliberate act of crime, not err of judgment on the part of the FBI investigators. Unprecedented corruption and abuses of power by this Law-Enforcement agency had been used against all four Republicans. Maybe the cruelest prosecution of General Flynn took place, because he knew something about Obama/Putin conspiracy??? Yet…

There was the third stage of the KGB’s scheme—the manufactured Mueller Report. I watched Robert Mueller testifying before the Congress. It was a tragic spectacle–I was ashamed for my country. The Mueller Report is a fraud perpetrated by someone, not by Robert Mueller. He didn’t know the major elements of the report and his mental capacity was at question. The KGB, as usual were using mental deficiency to its own benefit. I have an idea of who committed the fraud and fabricated the report. Read here my columns, Origin of the Washington Spy-Ring and the Swamp, March 31, 2018.

The Covid-19 pandemic and its catastrophic impact on our economy reminds us that we are still dealing with The Global Spy Ring, where the Democrat Party and DNC are a part of the ring. Don’t be surprised that the Dems and DNC are the part of the ring. During the last 3-4 decades Truman’s Democrat Party was infiltrated by the KGB and suffocated, a new Socialist Party was born with leaders hell bent on damaging the free market while building Socialism in America. This utopian ideology has become a major divide between the current Democrats and Republicans, a war you are witnessing every day…

This war is known to me, but it is not a Cold War with China. Warning you for the last two decades, I called it WWIII. It is waged by the ideology of Socialism/Communism against Western civilization and the American Republic. The current Democrats joined the war on the side of Socialism against the Republican Party. Don’t be surprised that Democrats don’t want to hold China accountable for the covid-19: they are sharing the same ideology, first with Russia and then with China in the 21st century. The Russian/Chinese Intel runs the ideology in both countries and has infiltrated all corners of our society and its elite: from Hollywood to the media, from Harvard University to the House of Representatives.

Unfortunately, most Americans have no idea of the massive, deep, and ubiquitous infiltration by the KGB into American institutions in the 20th century. They do not know that two U.S. Presidents had been chosen for them by the KGB.

 Stalinist Postulate in the 21st century America

Offence is the best defense—this was the slogan and policy of the Soviet apparatchiks taught by Stalin. “Never admit the crime committed, but accuse the opposition in that exact crime” Stalin’s Postulate. This policy helped the Soviet system to survive for a hundred years, and under Putin’s leadership the current apparatchiks are flourishing in Russia today. Yes, nothing substantial has changed in Russia. The KGB is still running the country with a crony capitalism instead of failed socialism. That’s it. The agenda is still the same—One World Government Under Kremlin’s Rule and for Putin to be a President of the world. This is the answer to what is happening in America in the 21st century.

The Obama/Putin conspiracy and its massive cover-up had required action to save the Democrat Party from accountability for treason. The Stalinist postulate was successfully used to blame the Republicans for collaborating with the KGB, like Stalin taught. The Russian meddling in the 2016 election and the accusation that Trump colluded with them, is the KGB’s maneuvering trick to cover-up their real collaboration with the Democrat Party for decades. It is not a coincidence that 20-30 of my latest columns had been describing the KGB and its Chairman Yuri Andropov. We are witnessing the disastrous result of failed American Intelligence in May 2020. The FBI Director is an empty suit or dupe of the enemy, he doesn’t understand Russian Security Agencies and allowed them to undermine the American Constitutional system from within. What a shame!

The situation in America is even worse than we know today. From twenty-two Democratic candidates for the U.S. presidency, six had been sponsored by the KGB and George Soros. They were preparing for you the third American Manchurian President. For your information, two from the six came to the finish line: Trojan Horse Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. They deserve each other, yet there is one difference between two of them—Trojan Horse Bernie knows that his campaign is being run by Putin’s KGB, Joe Biden doesn’t not know it, Obama didn’t tell him…

Judicial overreach — Are the chickens coming home to roost?

/in , , , , , /by

There is a growing sense that the aura of infallibility accorded the Supreme Court, that forms the basis of its almost limitless power, so assiduously (some might say insidiously) cultivated by Chief Justice Aharon Barak, is beginning to dim.

In Israel, the negative impact of the judicialization of politics on the Supreme Court’s legitimacy is already beginning to show its mark. Over the past decade, the public image of the Supreme Court as an autonomous and impartial arbiter has been increasingly eroded… as political arrangements and public policies agreed upon in majoritarian decision-making arenas are likely to be reviewed by an often hostile Supreme Court. As a result, the court and its judges are increasingly viewed by a considerable portion of the Israeli public as pushing forward their own political agenda...– Prof. Ran Hirschl, Towards Juristocracy, Harvard University Press, 2004.

I admit that I have used this citation from Hirschl’s book to introduce several previous articles on Israel’s legal establishment. However, I have little qualms in reusing it here—a s it has lost of none of its past pertinence. If anything, quite the opposite is true.

Testing the limits of judicial overreach?

Last week (March 3 -9) was a momentous—indeed tumultuous—week, with potentially far-reaching ramifications for Israel’s law enforcement establishment in general, and the judiciary, in particular.

On Sunday and Monday (March 3 & 4), a panel of 11 Supreme Court justices convened for a televised broadcast to rule on petitions to disqualify indicted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from being assigned the task of constituting the next government coalition, and to invalidate the Likud/Blue &White agreement as to the future mode of functioning of that joint coalition.

Indeed, although overall, it was conducted in a general atmosphere of restrained respectability, the hearing exuded a discernible aura heralding that perceptible changes in the long-existing societal power structure in Israel, were in the air.

Thus, commenting on the televised proceedings, the vehemently Bibiphobic journalist, Anshel Pfeffer, of the far-Left daily, Haaretz, wrote: “…the judicial bonhomie could barely hide the fact that the justices knew they are fighting for their very legitimacy…”

True, on Wednesday night (May 6), all 11 justices ruled—unanimously—that Netanyahu was in fact eligible to form the next government and, apart from some perfunctory remarks of displeasure on several clauses in the coalition agreement, they elected to refrain from any robust initiatives to mandate far-reaching changes in it. However, despite this, hardly any seasoned observer of the machinations of Israeli politics could fail to detect a palpable sense of growing recognition that the decades of judicial overreach were testing the limits of public patience—and judicial intrusion into the realm of politics is being perceived as increasingly unacceptable. But more on that later.

Subverting the democratic process

Thus, for example, despite the Supreme Court restraint, Gadi Taub, a senior lecturer at Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s School of Public Policy, found that the fact that the court even agreed to discuss the appeal was “outrageous,” “mind-boggling” and an “amazing feat of audacity.”

Thus, according to Taub, “In agreeing to adjudicate this issue in the first place, the court is behaving as if it feels it needs to protect democracy from citizens”.He pointed out: “There is no judiciary in any proper democracy as powerful as Israel’s Supreme Court,”, remarking acerbically that: “In its own opinion, there is no limit to its power; there is nothing it does not believe is judicable, and it has the last word on everything.”

Taub observed that Menachem Mautner, former dean of Tel Aviv University’s left leaning law faculty, wrote in his book, Law and the Culture of Israel, that, as the Left has regularly failed to win at the ballot since 1977, it has decided to exploit the Supreme Court to advance its worldview. Thus, in Taub’s view, the leftist approach has been to subvert the democratic process “by moving political power from elected to appointed institutions—from the parliament to the court.”

The law as a political weapon

Accordingly, the belief that the law is being used (or rather, abused) as a weapon to advance a political doctrine that has failed to win support at the polls, has taken root across diverse segments of Israeli society—as has the view that the Supreme Court has been complicit in helping minority constituencies impose their view on wider portions of the electorate (see Hirschl above).

For in the eyes of the layman—on whose trust the judiciary’s legitimacy is crucially dependent—the Supreme Court has not only regularly prevented the elected government from implementing the policy it was elected to implement, but at times, has coerced the government to implement policies it was elected to ensure were not implemented.

This disconnect between the perspectives of the Supreme Court justices and wide swathes of the general public has led to a precipitous fall in the credibility of the judiciary in general and the Supreme Court in particular. Citing an ongoing study of the credibility of Israel’s judicial system conducted by Haifa University, YNetnews’s Einav Schiff echoed a virtually identical diagnosis to that of Hirschl’s.

Thus, in a piece entitled The Supreme Court is losing the people’s trust, he wrote: “The view of the court as an ivory tower, home to self-appointed gods, is becoming more and more common, and this is reflected in different confidence indexes. Last May, for example, the Rule of Law Index by Prof. Arie Ratner of Haifa University found that 49 percent of Jewish Israeli citizens have confidence in the Supreme Court. In 2000, that rate stood at 80 percent. This isn’t a slip or a drop, it’s a collapse.”

The law as the last refuge of the unscrupulous?

It was in April 1775 that Samuel Johnson (1709 -1784), the celebrated English writer, articulated his well-known dictum, “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.” His biographer, James Boswell (1740-1795), explained that by “patriotism, Johnson did not mean a real and generous love of our country, but that pretended patriotism which so many…have made a cloak for self-interest.’‘

In Israel, against the backdrop of the turmoil over the functioning of the Supreme Court, one might well be tempted to formulate a parallel dictum. Thus, not patriotism, but the law, is last refuge of the unscrupulous–where any failed politician, unable to defeat his rivals at the polls, can—draped in “a cloak of self-interest” and driven not by a genuine love of the law, but by a desire to circumvent the will of the voters—enlist the courts to help unseat them. Or, in the previously cited words of Taub, “by moving political power from elected to appointed institutions—from the parliament to the court.”

Of course, none of this would have been possible unless the Supreme Court has not been amenable—indeed, eager—to facilitate such a power shift.

This was particularly true for the period when Prof. Aharon Barak was President of the Supreme Court—from 1995 to 2006.

The Supreme Court as an “alternate government”

One of Israel’s most prominent legal scholars, and Israel Prize laureate for Law, Prof. Amnon Rubinstein, who also served as an MK for the far Left Meretz faction and held several ministerial portfolios on its behalf, characterized, in vivid terms, the judicial metamorphosis Barak introduced. He wrote: “ Barak was a revolutionary…who persuaded his colleagues to follow him and undertake an extraordinary judicial policy. According to this policy, the courts can adjudicate any administrative or legislative act…”

Rubinstein continued: “Thus, a situation arose whereby the Supreme Court could convene and decide on every conceivable issue. In addition, the unreasonableness of an administrative measure became grounds for judicial intervention. This was a total revolution in the judicial thinking which characterized the Supreme Court of previous generations, and this has given it the reputation of the most activist court in the world…”

In fact, in Rubinstein’s view: “In practice, in many respects the Supreme Court under Barak become an alternate government.”

In his book, The Purse and the Sword: The Trials of Israel’s Legal Revolution,  Prof. Daniel Friedmann, former dean of Tel Aviv University’s Faculty of Law and Justice Minister under Ehud Olmert, sets out a biting critique of Barak’s judicial doctrine. In it, he cites, approvingly, a caustic condemnation (p.333) by the well-know, (self-professed) Left-of Center journalist Ben-Dror Yemini : “It is doubtful whether anyone is more guilty of the decline in the Supreme Court’s position than Chief Justice Barak… According to all the polls, there is no other man who has caused such an ongoing, dramatic decline in public confidence [in the court]…Anyone looking for examples can find them in his megalomaniac declarations that “all is justiciable…”

“A world record for judicial hubris”?

Echoing this sentiment, in his decidedly disapproving review of Barak’s book The Judge in a Democracy, which, significantly, he entitled Enlightened Despot, former U.S. Court of Appeals judge and a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, Richard A. Posner writes: I have my differences with Robert Bork, but when he remarked.. that Barak ‘establishes a world record for judicial hubris,’ he came very near the truth.

Widely considered to be one of the most influential legal scholars in the United States, and one of the most cited legal scholars of the 20th century, Posner asserts: “What Barak created out of whole cloth was a degree of judicial power undreamed of even by our most aggressive Supreme Court justices…”

According to Posner “… One is reminded of Napoleon’s taking the crown out of the pope’s hands and putting it on his own head. He [Barak]takes for granted that judges have inherent authority to override statutes. Such an approach can accurately be described as usurpative.”

Others have expressed similar concern as to the excess power of the Supreme Court and its growing intrusion into the realms of other branches of government. Commenting on a March 2010 injunction prohibiting any government dealing with plans for changes in Israel’s zoning laws, Prof. Yoav Dotan, former dean at the Faculty of Law at the Hebrew University, wrote: “This is the first time in the history of Israel’s judicial branch that an injunction bars the government from dealing with a matter on its agenda…This decision overturns the existing order ..Not only has the Supreme Court never issued such a decision , but the decision itself constitutes an historic precedent in judicial activism in general. It is doubtful whether a court in any country ever dared to order its government what can and cannot be on its agenda…”

Less and less reason to vote

In his book, Coercing Virtue, the prominent jurist, Robert H. Bork, a former US Court of Appeals judge, who taught constitutional law at Yale Law School and served as Solicitor General and Acting Attorney General of the United States, strongly criticizes judicial activism both in the US and Israel. Indeed, it is Israel that he sees as the county most afflicted by the phenomenon of judicial overreach.

Accordingly, Bork laments: “There would seem to be less and less reason for the Israeli people to bother electing an legislature and executive; the attorney general, with the backing of the Supreme Court can decide almost everything for them…”(p.120).

Indeed today, certainly by any criterion of layman common sense, Israeli Supreme Court violates some laws and invent others merely to impose its own ‏world view on the elected policy makers. It acts as if it is bound neither by the existence of written law nor by the absence of written law.

It overcomes both by brandishing the legalistic Excalibur of “proportionality” and “reasonableness”, criteria which only the knights (or high priests) of the Supreme Court are deemed qualified to determine.

Ignoring existing laws; Invoking nonexistent laws?

Accordingly, the Supreme Court has regularly ridden rough shod over the decisions of the Knesset Central Election Committee to bar dominantly anti-Zionist parties and their candidates from participating in parliamentary elections—flagrantly ignoring that both the parties and numerous candidates thereof, are in stark violation of Clause 7A of the Basic Law: The Knesset. This explicitly states that “if the objects or actions of [a] list or   of [a] person, expressly or by implication, include…negation of the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state” and/or “support of armed struggle, by a hostile state or a terrorist organization, against the State of Israel”, they will be precluded from participation in elections.

Yet despite the fact that the deeds, declaration and documents of these anti-Zionist entities and individuals comprise undisguised and undeniable (indeed, undenied) negation of the Jewish nature of Israel and support for armed struggle by Israel’s enemies against it , the Supreme Court has consistently (and incomprehensibly) ruled in favor of their participation.

Indeed, the Supreme Court has never upheld the preclusion of any anti-Zionist list or individual–despite their glaring violations of the law

By contrast, the Court has frequently instated injunctions prohibiting Jewish (typically Right-wing) candidates based on the Court’s interpretation of their “objects and actions” as constituting “incitement to racism”—despite the defendants denying that this was their intent.

Indeed, in many ways, the very fact that the Supreme Court, with a complement of 11 justices, agreed to hear the petition against Netanyahu being assigned the formation of the next government, despite it being totally devoid of any legal foundation, is in itself an manifestation of its tendency to ascribe itself powers it does not have.

Ignoring laws; Inventing laws (cont.)

After all, Basic Law: The Government determines unequivocally that the Prime Minister may remain in office until a final verdict (i.e. after all appeals have been exhausted) has been handed down, or by a complicated process, involving a vote of 61 MKs (Clause 18(a)-(d))—neither of which apply in Netanyahu’s case; and that the President will assign the task of forming a government on an MK, who has the backing of at least 61 MKs (Clause 10 )—which does apply in Netanyahu’s case.

Indeed, had the Supreme Court not sensed that winds of change were sweeping through Israel society, it might well have handed down a very different verdict.

Indeed, this is vividly reflected by the words of retired Justice Eliyahu Matza, in a recent interview: “In this ruling, the Supreme Court has missed an opportunity—which perhaps will not reoccur—to lay a moral foundation for the institutions of government in Israel…[I would] have certainly ruled in favor of the petitions—and not just me. I am convinced that several of my retired colleagues who, served on the Supreme Court in the past would have also endorsed the petition”.

Ironically, it was the late-Chief Justice Moshe Landau, President the Supreme Court in the pre-Barak era, who cautioned against precisely what Matza suggested—ruling on values rather than law. After all, by substituting their values for the law, the Supreme Court justices are conducting themselves in precisely the manner of which Hirschl cautions in the opening excerpt.

“…the treacherous swamp of opinions & beliefs

Landau warned: “The [High] Court is getting into waters that are too deep. Into a treacherous swamp of political opinions and beliefs. And this is dangerous both for the country and for the Court. It is dangerous for the country because it exacerbates social rifts. And it is dangerous for the Court because the Court is losing the principle foundation on which it must base its standing: The belief in its neutrality of the judicial system in public disputes.”

He added: “..when the Court represents a certain opinion, no matter how progressive, it enrages a significant section of the public…However, I must say that the Court contributes to creating this situation in that it inserts itself into areas where it has no place. It takes upon itself to decide on matters…which should be decided in the Knesset

It is thus difficult not to sense a creeping suspicion that the Supreme Court’s ruling was motivated less by a desire to preserve the law and more by a desire to preserve itself—as Alex Traiman argues.

Indeed, after decades of judicial overreach, there is finally a growing sense that the aura of infallibility accorded the Supreme Court, which forms the basis of its almost limitless power, so assiduously—some might say insidiously—cultivated by Chief Justice Aharon Barak, is beginning to dim.

Perhaps, then, the pigeons have at long last, come home to roost—or are just beginning to.

Trump Announces All Reporters At White House Press Briefings Must Wear MAGA Masks

/in , /by

WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Trump today announced that “out of an abundance of caution” all reporters present at White House press briefings must wear MAGA masks. All who entered the briefing area were asked to remove any personal masks and to instead don one of the new red masks with “Make America Great Again” embroidered into the fabric.

“These are the best masks, everyone agrees. Really spectacular. They have sunlight, UV rays, disinfectant. Good stuff. They smell great too. Really, really good stuff. The best,” Trump explained.

Many reporters complained that the masks were “too insulated” and “made it impossible to comment or ask questions.” President Trump said this issue did not concern him at this time.

There’s no better way to protect against coronavirus and trigger libs than a MAGA mask. Get your actual, very real, not satirical Make America Great Again mask here.

Nurse Fires Back at White House Reporter Who Shamed Her for Not Wearing a Mask

/in , , , , /by

A nurse pushed back when a reporter asked President Donald Trump Wednesday why she and several other nurses gathered in the Oval Office during a press conference were not wearing masks or social distancing.

“We’re all COVID-19-free. We were all tested,” said the nurse, identified by ABC News as American Association of Nurse Practitioners President Sophia Turner.

The reporter had asked the president why the nurses who flanked him during the meeting were not keeping their distance.

“We are not socially distancing because we are all negative … and we wouldn’t do anything to harm our president, obviously,” the nurse said before adding that she works at a center in Louisiana and frequently gets tested.

The nurses were at the briefing to talk about the country’s supply of personal protective equipment, like masks.

The nurses said they have ample access to personal protective equipment, even after the Department of Homeland Security stated May 3 that the Chinese government lied to the World Health Organization about the significance of the pandemic to hoard personal protective equipment, among other medical supplies.

Some officials have been critical of people who do not wear face masks. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a May 4 press conference that local officials should impose a “penalty” for “disrespectful” people not wearing masks.

“And by the way, you don’t wear a mask for yourself,” an unmasked Cuomo said during the conference. “You wear a mask to protect me. I wear a mask to protect you. We owe each other a certain amount of reasonableness and respect in society, and I owe you that level of respect, that if I’m sick, I should wear a mask.”

Justice Department Drops Case Against Michael Flynn

/in , , , , /by

The Justice Department announced Thursday that it has dropped its controversial case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn, a little over a week after the release of embarrassing documents showing FBI bias undermined the prosecution’s case.

The documents that surfaced last week included notes of a discussion among top FBI officials about whether the goal in investigating Flynn was to “get him to lie” so that he could be  fired or prosecuted.

Flynn later pleaded guilty to lying to investigators during the Russia investigation about his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States before President Donald Trump took office in January.

The Justice Department’s announcement came in a court filing saying that prosecutors were dropping the case against Flynn “after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information.”

In these trying times, we must turn to the greatest document in the history of the world to promise freedom and opportunity to its citizens for guidance. Find out more now >>

Flynn, 61, a retired Army lieutenant general who specialized in intelligence operations, had filed a motion to withdraw his guilty plea. Before the Justice Department dropped the matter entirely, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan was set to rule on whether to allow Flynn to withdraw his plea.

Trump, asked about the news Thursday during an Oval Office photo opportunity with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, lashed out at media organizations that didn’t look deeper into the FBI allegations against Flynn and the wider Russia investigation.

“You saw it today, more documents came out saying there was absolutely no collusion with Russia,” Trump told reporters.

“It was fake news, they’re all fake news,” he added.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, lasting almost two years, found no conspiracy between anyone in the Trump campaign with Russion government actors who engaged in hacking and social media ads.

Flynn resigned Feb. 13, 2017, on his 23rd day as national security adviser, saying that he inadvertently misled Vice President Mike Pence and others about his talks with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak before Trump took office.

Misleading Pence was not a crime, but lying to FBI agents would be. It never was clear that Flynn did lie to FBI agents, however.

Supporters say Flynn pleaded guilty because the FBI threatened to bring charges against his son under the Foreign Agents Registration Act for not registering as a foreign agent in his work with Turkey.

Flynn reportedly amassed $4.6 million in legal bills. The first $3.5 million went to his initial law firm, Covington & Burling. He later switched lawyers, hiring former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell.

Trump has talked about the possibility of pardoning Flynn, but after the documents were unsealed last week, he said he likely wouldn’t need to.

The documents show handwritten notes from a conversation among three FBI officials at the time—Director James Comey, Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and counterintelligence chief Bill Priestap.

The notes show they hoped to get Flynn “to admit to breaking the Logan Act,” a 1799 law that never has been used in a prosecution and was intended to prevent individuals from falsely claiming to represent the federal government when interacting with foreign officials.

One of Priestap’s notes reads: “What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”

Another note says of Flynn and the Justice Department, the FBI’s parent agency: “If we get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act, give facts to DOJ + have them decide.”

The notes show some indecision among Comey and his deputies, but seem to concede that prompting someone to lie could be “playing games.”

“Protect our institution by not playing games” and “If we’re seen playing games, WH will be furious,” the notes say, with WH referring to the White House.

More documents released Thursday show that on Jan. 4, 2017, the FBI’s Washington Field Office recorded in a memo that it was closing the investigation of Flynn because a review “did not yield any information” to justify continuing to probe whether the incoming national security adviser was working inappropriately with the Russian government.

However, then-FBI agent Peter Strzok texted an FBI colleague to say: “Hey if you haven’t closed RAZOR don’t do so yet.”

The FBI’s code name for the Flynn case was Crossfire Razor. Americans learned Strzok’s name in 2018 when text messages surfaced in which he disparaged Trump as a presidential candidate in 2016 while investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server to conduct official business as secretary of state.

Trump spoke passionately about media bias against him and his administration Thursday when asked in the Oval Office about the Justice Department’s decision to drop the Flynn case.

“They’re not journalists. They’re thieves. All of those journalists that we see with the Pulitzer Prize should be forced to give those Pulitzer Prizes back because they were all wrong,” Trump said.

“You saw it today, more documents came out saying there was absolutely no collusion with Russia. Pulitzer Prizes should all be returned because, you know what, they were given out falsely. It was fake news, they’re all fake news.”

RELATED ARTICLE: Michael Flynn Finally Seems to Be Getting the Justice He Deserves

A Note for our Readers:

This is a critical year in the history of our country. With the country polarized and divided on a number of issues and with roughly half of the country clamoring for increased government control—over health care, socialism, increased regulations, and open borders—we must turn to America’s founding for the answers on how best to proceed into the future.

The Heritage Foundation has compiled input from more than 100 constitutional scholars and legal experts into the country’s most thorough and compelling review of the freedoms promised to us within the United States Constitution into a free digital guide called Heritage’s Guide to the Constitution.

As Women in Iran Face Prison for Taking Off the Hijab, Fox TV Series Glamorizes It

/in , , , , , /by

My latest in PJ Media:

Rob Lowe’s 9-1-1: Lone Star is apparently a TV show that, according to the description here, “follows a sophisticated New York firefigter [sic] who, along with his son, relocates to Austin and must try to balance the duties of saving those who are at their most vulnerable and solving the problems in his own life.” It features a character named Marjan Marwani, who is apparently a hijab-wearing Muslim firefighter.

In this video clip, Marjan loses her hijab, and her respectful male colleagues shield her from the lustful gaze of one of their loutish colleagues, and maybe more than one, so that she can put it back on.

One should always be respectful and kind to others, both those who wear the hijab and those who do not. That is not, however, the only lesson that 9-1-1: Lone Star wishes to impart. Another is that Muslims in the U.S., even those who are Sharia-adherent, are patriotic Americans. And that women who wear the hijab are smoking hot.

https://twitter.com/suprstores/status/1222210511342837760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1222210511342837760&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jihadwatch.org%2F2020%2F05%2Ffox-tv-series-glamorizes-the-wearing-of-the-hijab

Those propositions are all true in some cases. In other cases, they are not. Television has never been and could never be a fully accurate presentation of reality. It is important to note, however, that this series is proceeding from the assumption that women who wear hijabs in the U.S. are routinely subjected to discrimination and harassment, and that Americans consequently need this reminder that decent folk treat hijabis with respect. Hijabis should indeed be treated with respect, like everyone else, but it is false that they are routinely disrespected in this country.

In fact, many of the most celebrated of the cases claiming this turned out to have been faked by the victims themselves. In one such incident, an eleven-year-old girl in Toronto made international headlines with her claim that a man had followed her and cut her hijab with scissors. After an investigation, police concluded that the attack never happened. Likewise, Yasmin Seweid, a Muslim teen who claimed in December 2016 that Trump supporters on a New York subway tore off her hijab and no one in the packed subway car helped her. She, too, gained international media attention, and she, too, made up the whole thing. Shortly before that, a hijab-wearing Muslim student at San Diego State University also falsely claimed that she was assaulted by Trump supporters. In July 2017, a Muslim in Britain falsely claimed that a man had pulled off her hijab in a “race hate attack.” In November 2016, a University of Michigan Muslim student claimed she was “accosted by a white man who told her to remove her hijab or he would set her ablaze with a cigarette lighter.” She also fabricated the whole event. And there are many others of this kind.

There is much more. Read the rest here.

Helicopters and Hunters: Day 53 of House Arrest in France

/in , , , , /by

I never could have imagined I would be writing these lines.

Today, Friday, is the 53rd day of our house arrest in France. And still, we are told that the vast majority of French men and women support the lockdown (as long as the beaches are allowed to reopen!).

Like the U.S., France is divided politically. “Blue” Frenchmen have never liked to work anyway. They are the ones you meet at the post office, the train stations, the metro, and in many large corporations. By law they cannot be fired, so they figure they don’t really have to work. If government tells them to stay home with full pay, so be it. Let the Lockdown rock on!

“Red” Frenchmen are the small business owners, the entrepreneurs and farmers, the artisans, restaurant owners, and hoteliers. Many of them are going to lose their businesses no matter how often the Prime Minister tells them he’s got their back. (He doesn’t).

One of our friends, whose husband owns a small business, went out for a walk on the mountain across from our house last week with her two adult children and several grandchildren. They were on the ridge line, walking single file, headed for the Roman ruins that overlook the Mediterranean when a government helicopter made a bee-line for them. They tried to hide, but the vegetation was sparse and they were all wearing bright clothing. The helicopter circled them twice, flying low, then buzzed off. They decided to make a run for it.

As they were headed down, the dog started barking wildly. Luckily, they were back in the maquis and managed to hide behind a thicket of bright yellow Scottish broom and giant heather. To their astonishment, they watched a 4×4 slowly climb the rocky mountain road, heading for the spot they had just left. “It was a local hunter,” my friend said. “They have an agreement with the gendarmes and were coming up to arrest us.”

You’ve heard plenty of stories like these from our blue states as well, with the 1-800 call-in line for people to rat out their neighbors. They all signify the same thing: the big government control freaks love to exercise dictatorial powers, and are using the health crisis to indulge their fantasies and test how far they can go before we the people revolt.

They believe that we are children. The French president showed that clearly this week, giving a TV interview on his plan to “slowly” reopen the economy in an elementary school classroom. Here you go, children. This is what you must do. Otherwise, we are going to re-confine you again, he said.

You hear the same fairy tales about election security from our Democrat friends. No, Virginia, there is no such thing as election fraud. Don’t look over here, where the electronic tabulators are changing votes. Look at those big crowds of people lining up to vote. Voter suppression!

If you don’t think this is going to happen again in November, then you need to read my new book, THE ELECTION HEIST.

I first got the idea for the book after running for Congress against an entrenched Maryland Democrat in November 2012. Who could beat such a person, I wondered? Certainly, not me. But what about a wealthy, handsome Hispanic media personality, with a wildly popular daily talk show?

Meet Nelson Aguilar, my fictional GOP candidate.

He is the rock star of the barrio, who literally gets his followers to dance a mariachi line around his Democrat opponent. He is pro-life, pro-family, and pro-American, or as I put it in the book, “everything the Democrats fear most.”

I’m not going to tell you how it turns out, but you can get a hint from the title…

For those of you who haven’t yet pre-ordered THE ELECTION HEIST, please do so today. These pre-orders are what tell booksellers how many books they need on hand. Without them, publishers tend to low-ball their print run. And when they do that, the book goes “out of print” within days on Amazon and doesn’t become available for another two or three weeks. It’s a disaster.

Click here to pre-order at Amazon.
 
Christina and I will remain in France for at least another six weeks, it seems. The French Prime Minister just announced that France will keep its borders sealed tight until June 16, at the earliest. And no one is calling him a xenophobe or a racist!

Does America Still Have a Prayer?

/in , , , , , /by

As of this writing, tens of thousands of Americans have reportedly died from the coronavirus. Also, 30 million have abruptly lost work.

Scan the headlines these days, and the bad news because of the coronavirus seems to get worse and worse:

  • April’s unemployment is described by the Wall Street Journal as “the largest one-month blow to the U.S. labor market on record” (5/3/20). The worst job loss ever.
  • “Universities across the country are being hit with lawsuits by students who aren’t satisfied with the refunds they’re being provided after being told to leave campus” (Campusreform.com, 4/27/20).
  • As one of six workers are suddenly out of a job, hunger is a growing problem. The AP reports, “Before the pandemic, food policy experts say, roughly one out of every eight or nine Americans struggled to stay fed. Now as many as one out of every four are projected to join the ranks of the hungry” (5/4/20).

Amidst all the bad news, is there any hope? Does America still have a prayer?

Yes. Thursday, May 7, 2020 is the National Day of Prayer. And, boy, do we need it.

America, it could be said, was born in prayer. We can even see an example in the rotunda of the

U.S. Capitol, where there are eight large paintings dedicated to aspects of our history.

One of them shows the Pilgrims having a prayer meeting with a large open Geneva Bible. The Pilgrims experienced one setback after another. But they also experienced answers to prayer.

For example, when they were finally settled in the New World in 1621, after a disastrous winter where half their number died, they planted their crops. But then they experienced a great drought.

The parched conditions threatened their first crop of corn, and it looked like the year’s harvest of corn was all but dead. But the Pilgrims called for a day of fasting and prayer. By the end of the day, it was raining.

The rain saved the corn, which miraculously sprang to life. The harvesting of that corn was part of what they celebrated in the first Thanksgiving.

A couple of paintings in the Capitol rotunda have George Washington as the central character. Although modern scholars like to discount the notion of Washington as a man of prayer, there were many contemporary witnesses who said otherwise. In our book, George Washington’s Sacred Fire, Dr. Peter Lillback and I document that Washington was a dedicated Christian who read the Bible regularly and spent much time in prayer.

Washington often said that as a nation we should be grateful for God’s repeated help. He once said, in reference to God’s help during the War for Independence, “The hand of Providence has been conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations.” (Letter to Thomas Nelson, 8/20/1778).

Susie Federer has written two books on miracles in American history, Miracles and Miracles II, based on the research of her husband, Bill. He is a bestselling author and speaker.

Bill Federer describes a time—not unlike today—when there was a plague of sorts ravaging the land in the mid-19th century. President Zachary Taylor declared a National Day of Fasting and Prayer, July 3, 1849, during a cholera epidemic: “A fearful pestilence which is spreading itself throughout the land…it is fitting that a people whose reliance has ever been in His protection should humble themselves before His throne…acknowledging past transgressions, ask a continuance of the Divine mercy. It is earnestly recommended that the first Friday in August be observed throughout the United States as a Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer.”

The Federers note that soon after that day of prayer, the cholera epidemic in America tapered off.

Many of our presidents throughout our history have called on God and have called on Americans to set aside a time (usually a day) of prayer. For example, FDR, in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack, called for 1/2/1942 to be, “a Day of Prayer, of asking forgiveness for our shortcomings of the past, of consecration to the tasks of the present, of asking God’s help in days to come.”

President Truman even systematized the day of prayer as an annual event. Thus, the first Thursday of each May is the National Day of Prayer. Truman declared in his proclamation (6/17/1952): “from the earliest days of our history our people have been accustomed to turn to Almighty God for help and guidance.”

If ever America needed God’s help and guidance, this would seem to be that time—as the coronavirus crisis devastates the land. We need to pray and repent and seek His face. May He provide a vaccine soon, and may He heal our land.

PODCAST: A New Type of Contract With America

/in , , , , , /by

Back in 1994, the Republicans in Congress led a movement to implement sweeping government reforms in what was called a “Contract with America.” This was a clever political ploy by the party to elect congressmen and, to their credit, they delivered on their promises. Whether you agreed with them or not is immaterial, the “contract” concept captivated the public’s imagination as the politicians felt compelled to comply with it. Perhaps it is time to implement another “Contract with America,” not so much to enact any particular legislation but to enforce how our politicians will act and behave while serving in office. Think about it, aside from their oath of office and the congressional rules by which they operate, there currently isn’t anything committing an elected official to how he will represent his constituents. Polls tell us the American public believes government is broken and, consequently, have lost faith in their elected leaders. A formal contract would go a long way towards reestablishing trust.

If such a contract existed, what would it consist of? My first reaction is that it should include something to have the politician promise to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, but since this is already a part of their oath of office, it probably shouldn’t be included in a new “Contract with America.” Aside from this, I can think of seven articles to include in such an agreement:

That you, the elected government official, hereby promises and swears to…

  1. be mindful that you serve the constituents who elected you (your employer) and, as such, you will put their best interests ahead of your own. Further, you will regularly and consistently report on your activities to them.
  2. constantly seek to improve the livelihood, well-being, prosperity, and standard of living for your constituents.
  3. be mindful of your fiduciary responsibilities, whereby you pledge government will live within its means, in accordance with an approved budget.
  4. lead by example. This means you will not engage in illegal activities or moral turpitude. Violations of ethical standards will not be tolerated and you will be held accountable for your actions.
  5. deliberate the issues of the day with honesty, candor, courtesy, and a professional attitude. You will do what is best for your constituency and not your political party.
  6. not vote to place military or public personnel in harm’s way without first being absolutely convinced of the necessity to do so.
  7. endeavor to do what is fair and equitable for the citizens of our country.

There is nothing startling here. This is how we expect all of our elected officials to behave, and why we become disillusioned when they do not live up to these standards. Perhaps if this became an official document though, such as the type of contract employees regularly sign in business, they may be more inclined to abide by it.

Come to think of it, maybe we should include having them read the Constitution now and then. I can’t imagine it would hurt anything, can you?

Keep the Faith!

P.S. – Also, I have a NEW book, “Before You Vote: Know How Your Government Works”, What American youth should know about government, available in Printed, PDF and eBook form. DON’T FORGET GRADUATION DAY. This is the perfect gift!

The Washington Post Wants You to Fast for Ramadan

/in , , , , , /by

My latest in PJ Media:

The far-Left anti-Trump propaganda organ masquerading as a news source and operating under the name the Washington Post on Thursday published an inspiring op-ed entitled “As American Muslims fast this Ramadan, maybe the rest of America should consider joining in.” The Post’s articles exhorting people to keep the Lenten fast or the Yom Kippur fast have not yet been published, but I’m sure that they will be when the appropriate times for them roll around again. Won’t they?

In the meantime, I’ll consider fasting for Ramadan, but I have a fairly good idea of what my conclusion will be. The article’s author, the imam Omar Suleiman, “founder and president of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research and an Islamic studies professor at Southern Methodist University,” writes: “The end result of Ramadan for Muslims, according to the Koran, is for ‘you to complete the period and glorify God for that which He has guided you, and that you may be amongst the grateful.’”

That sounds terrific, but what exactly does the Qur’an mean by glorifying God? According to the Islamic holy book, one way that Muslims can glorify God is by fighting and killing infidels (cf. 2:191. 4:89, 9:5, 9:29, 47:4, etc.). In fact, according to the prophet of Islam, there is no better way to glorify the supreme being. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44) A jihad group explained: “The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God’s messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators.”

Somehow that doesn’t sound as appealing as Omar Suleiman made it out to be. But the good imam can’t be faulted for walking through a door that the Washington Post opened. His article was published in response to a Post call: “The Opinions section is looking for stories of how the coronavirus has affected people of all walks of life. Write to us.” Suleiman saw an opportunity for dawah, Islamic proselytizing, and seized it.

Still, if someone had sent in those stories about how Americans should join in the Lenten fast, or the Yom Kippur fast, would the Post have published them? Almost certainly not. Suleiman’s article, however, is just one example of a general tendency: it is imperative in today’s society to be solicitous to Muslims and warmly positive toward even the aspects of Islam that are oppressive.

There is much more. Read the rest here.

Newly Mustachioed Bill De Blasio Unveils Special Red Armbands For Police Enforcing Lockdown

/in , /by

NEW YORK, NY—Having let his facial hair grow freely for several weeks, New York Mayor Bill De Blasio held a press conference this morning where he unveiled special red armbands for police enforcing the city’s quarantine on the Jewish community.

“The red armband represents our commitment to public health,” he said. “City workers and police who want to show their loyalty to making sure undesirable groups are not breaking quarantine will be asked to wear the bands for easy identification.”

“The third glorious era of New York will reign triumphant!” he cried, banging on his lectern. “Together we can reclaim the glories of our once-great kingdom!”

The mayor also suggesting some kind of camp that could concentrate on the Jews, as well as maybe some way to identify them in public so people could keep away from “undesirable” contact with them. “We could take them to the camp on the subway trains.”

Some are saying the move represents bad optics for the city’s mayor. But he didn’t seem to see any issue with the bands, saying they simply helped identify the special squadrons of police that would focus on the Jewish community. “We’ll call them the S.S. for short,” he said.

He also announced his plans to invade Poland.

A Wizard of Oz Virus: The COVID-19 Hoax

/in , , , , , , /by

When I speak of a hoax and The Virus, I don’t mean there isn’t in our population a pathogen identified as SARS-CoV-2 or, as the “unwoke” might say, the Wuhan Flu. As with past respiratory diseases, it’s also dangerous to the vulnerable. But as data increasingly show — and as I and some others have been saying all along — this current situation is very different from past pandemics in one significant and deadly way: It’s not being treated as only a medical/health issue.

It’s being treated as a political issue.

And as the Soviet Union’s Lysenkoism demonstrated, politics kills science.

I recently dubbed the Wuhan Flu the “Wizard of Oz Virus” because its reputation greatly exceeds its power. This was evident long ago, too. We only had to look at the early data coming out on Italy and a certain quarantined cruise ship, after all.

While the following might have changed a bit over time, we heard early on that 99-plus percent of the Italian victims had comorbidities and that their average age was 79.5. Italy is also a graying nation, with 23 percent of the population in its most affected area (the north) more than 65 years old.

Additionally, Italy has a wanting healthcare system, and stories emerged about askew triage-oriented priorities causing certain elderly to be denied care. Italy’s economic ties with Beijing also meant there were direct flights from Wuhan and 100,000 Chinese working in its factories.

There are other differences, too. One I pointed out is that Italy has an “un-social-distancing” culture, with acquaintances engaging in a lot of touching, and personal space between them only two to three feet (vs. four in North America).

Then there was the cruise ship Diamond Princess, which was quarantined off Japan’s coast in February and at one time had more than half the Wuhan virus cases outside of China. Of the 3,711 people on board, 712 (19.2 percent) contracted the disease and 13 (1.8 percent) died.

Yet note that this ship was called a disease incubator; the average age of those aboard was 58, with 33 percent over 70; and medical care was sub-par. Note, too, to illustrate the latter group’s (the elderly’s) vulnerability, that they were dying during a four-week stretch in 2018 at “a rate of 169 people a day [in the U.S.], or seven people per hour” of the common flu, reported the AARP.

In other words, there was never a reason to believe the Wuhan virus would transform America into Black Plague-ravaged medieval Europe. The Enemedia pretended to know this at one time, too.

Right after President Trump wisely announced his China travel ban (Jan. 31), the Enemedia, busy calling him “racist” for doing so, ran headlines such as this Feb. 1 Washington Post gem: “Get a grippe, America. The flu is a much bigger threat than coronavirus, for now.”

It was also around this time that Nancy “Let ‘em Eat Ice Cream” Pelosi, Bolshevik Bill (de Blasio) and other leftist pols were encouraging New Yorkers and San Franciscans to visit their Chinatowns, as they played the race card. Now they criticize Trump for not doing more when they counseled doing less.

(Know, too, that Dr. Anthony Fauci said on TV Feb. 29 that Americans didn’t need to change their behavior to combat the virus.)

But the Enemedia weren’t all wrong back then. Consider the following past flu pandemics, with the number of Americans dead accompanied by what that translates into today adjusted for population.

The Spanish Flu pandemic (1918-19) killed 675,000 Americans. Today: equates to a bit more than two million dead.

The “Asian Flu” pandemic of 1957 killed 116,000 Americans. Today: equates to approximately 223,000.

The “Hong Kong Flu” pandemic of 1968 killed at least 100,000 Americans. Today: equates to 164,915.

Thus far, the Wuhan virus has claimed approximately 63,000 Americans — if you can believe the allegedly exaggerated numbers our governments produce.

Moreover, each year the flu claims tens of thousands more U.S. victims, including 61,000 during the 2017-18 winter season and 358 children during 2009-10. (In contrast, there are three “unconfirmed” Wuhan virus pediatric deaths.) But we didn’t run around back then like a jack-booted Chicken Little trampling civil rights and economic fortunes, shutting down schools and complaining about naming the disease after its place of origin.

But, again, in those times disease wasn’t a political issue.

Now, of course, data are showing what cooler heads have long theorized: The Wuhan flu mortality rate may end up being similar to the flu’s; the doom-and-gloom computer-model projections were way off; lockdowns are deadlier than what they supposedly combat; perhaps 80-plus percent of the afflicted are asymptomatic or only mildly affected; the infection rate is far higher than most “experts” suspected; and as with the flu, going outside, living relatively normally and establishing herd immunity (while protecting the vulnerable) is the best way to eliminate the disease.

Yet the Enemedia and leftist politicians, far from correcting their mistakes, are doubling down on destructive policies. Given this, it’s time to examine how the Wuhan Flu was turned into the Wizard of Oz Virus.

Anatomy of a National Hysteria

How we got to where we are now is complex, as man’s events usually are, but here’s a summary:

  • Back when the Democrats and their Enemedia were focused on impeachment, video was emerging from China of government thugs in hazmat suits forcibly extracting people from their homes and spraying down wide areas with disinfectant. (This reaction lends credence to the increasingly accepted thesis that the virus originated in a Wuhan lab, mind you.)
  • With the impeachment effort’s collapse, the Enemedia turned its attention to the pandemic. After first downplaying it and calling Trump xenophobic, they then began exaggerating it and calling him criminally negligent. They simultaneously commenced showing that alarming Chinese footage, along with reporting massive death in Italy (which also might have been exaggerated) and continually showing videos of coffins, from Italy and later N.Y.C.
  • Hearing only the Enemedia horror stories and apocalyptic projections, Americans became terrified and panicked — and panicked people don’t make wise decisions. They are easy to control, though.
  • The Enemedia’s malpractice was devastating. With polls showing up to 80 percent support for lockdowns because of it, it became politically impossible for officials to implement rational policy. Trump and the governors were likely terrified that they’d be blamed for every death if they didn’t “take action.”
  • The pseudo-elites had and have incentive to keep the hoax going. The Enemedia know that if it bleeds, it leads, but they and the Democrats also wanted to damage Trump. Note that his strong economy has been crashed, and his popular rallies — central to his campaign effort — have been cancelled. Moreover, leftists have used the manufactured crisis to remove rights and advance their agenda, with some actually confessing this Machiavellian goal. Why, some rank-and-file leftists even admitted they’d prefer millions of Wuhan Flu deaths to Trump being re-elected.
  • It doesn’t help that Trump is a known germaphobe counseled by apparently incompetent and/or corrupt officials such as Fauci and Coronavirus Response Coordinator Deborah Birx.

And now those officials have formulated a standard for opening the economy that has been called “rigged” and that may be impossible to satisfy. This is despite the Wizard of Oz Virus narrative’s collapse, with a study showing lockdowns don’t work and it becoming clearer, by the day, that they’ll actually lead to more disease and death.

It would be nice to think that the malicious Machiavellians in media and politics will be held accountable for visiting one of American history’s greatest blunders upon us. But that appears just a dream. It’s lamentable, surely, and can make one understand why G.K. Chesterton once remarked, “It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged.”

Is Trump a racist?

/in , , , /by

It’s next to impossible to turn on the TV and not see another story declaring with utmost certitude that President Trump is a racist.

Is he?  You decide:

  • For 14 years, NBC made Trump host of its prime-time television series, “The Apprentice,” something the network would never have done had there been even a hint of racism in his past.
  • Trump was a high profile real estate developer in New York City, one of the most liberal jurisdictions in America.  Had he been infected with racism, he would have faced insurmountable hurdles getting his projects approved.
  • Before running for president, Trump donated $1.5 million to high profile Democrat candidates, including Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Andrew Cuomo, none of whom would have accepted a dime from him if there was a shred of doubt about his racial bona fides.

Only when Trump became the GOP presidential nominee did feigned cries of “Racist!” appear, as Democrats hurled racial hand grenades his way at every turn.  Maybe they didn’t know about the time he drove a stake in the heart of institutional racism in South Florida …

When Trump fought the racists

In 1985, 31 years before being elected president, Trump bought the 126-room, 62,500 sq. ft. Mar-a-Lago estate, the magnificent Palm Beach, Florida seaside resort built by Post Cereals heiress, Margaret Merriwether Post.  The brash New York real estate developer was intent on turning his newly acquired property into a private club that would compete with other high society clubs in the area, which barred blacks and Jews from membership.

When Trump, then 39, revealed that memberships at his proposed club would be offered without regard to race or religion, the Palm Beach town council imposed zoning restrictions to prevent him from turning Mar-a-Lago into a club.  Sensing the restrictions were intended to perpetuate the discriminatory practices of the Old South social order in Palm Beach, Trump went head-to-head with the town council.

As part of his strategy to bring long overdue social change to the upper echelon of Palm Beach society, he sent the city commissioners a copy of the Sidney Poitier movie “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” a film about upper-class racism.  When the commissioners still wouldn’t budge, Trump filed a $100 million lawsuit, and the rest is history.

Under Trump’s ownership, Mar-a-Lago Club has been open from the beginning to anyone who could qualify, regardless of race or religion.  Influenced in part by Trump’s ground-breaking example, other clubs in the area slowly began doing away with discriminatory policies.  Today, all high society clubs in Palm Beach are open to blacks and Jews. Long before he ran for president, Donald Trump was dismantling racial barriers in South Florida, not something a racist would do.

Note: The narration above was condensed from this American Spectator article titled “When Trump Fought the Racists.”

President Trump is fulfilling his promise to reach out to the African-American community 

  • In 2018, President Trump signed a clemency plea for an African-American grandmother who had served 20 years of a life sentence for a non-violent drug offense. Hollywood celebrity Kim Kardashian brought Alice Marie Johnson’s plight to the attention of President Trump, who ordered her set free.  “I felt like I was losing hope.  Thank you, President Trump.  I love you and I am going to make you proud that you gave me this second chance in life.”  See story and photohere.  Not everyone was thrilled that Trump set Johnson free.  Democrat HBO host Bill Maher said he fears that “grateful black folks” like Alice Johnson will cause Trump to rise in the polls.
  • Citing racial injustice, President Trump posthumously pardoned black boxing legend Jack Johnson. In 1913, the first African-American heavyweight champion was convicted by an all-white jury for taking his white girlfriend across state lines for “immoral purposes.”  The conviction and imprisonment destroyed Johnson’s boxing career.  With Sylvester Stallone and former heavyweight champion Lenox Lewis at his side, President Trump signed the pardon in an Oval Office ceremony. Previous presidents, including George W. Bush and Barack Obama, rejected bi-partisan requests to grant clemency to Johnson.  See 47-sec. video here.

  • In 2018, President Trump signed a bill elevating the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr. to full national park status.  With the slain civil rights leader’s niece, Alveda King, looking on, Trump signed the bill aboard Air Force One.  The legislation gives the landmark attraction additional resources, including park rangers and funding for community improvements.  Previously

turned down by presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the long-championed bill was sponsored by civil rights icon, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA).

  • President Trump is considering pardoning Muhammad Ali.  The former heavyweight boxing sensation was sentenced in 1970 to five years in prison after he was convicted of draft evasion.  As a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War, Ali refused to serve in the military.  The prison sentence was overturned in 1971 in a unanimous Supreme Court decision that found the Department of Justice improperly told the draft board that Ali’s stance wasn’t motivated by his religious beliefs.
  • A month after taking office, President Trump signed an executive order that historically black colleges and universities will be a priority in his administration.  As one of more than 100 African-American educators in attendance, Leonard Haynes, former executive director of the 40-year-old White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities, said, “Oh man.  I’ve been around for a long time and I’ve never seen as many black folks in the Oval Office.”  See photo here.
  • In January 2018, President Trump extended an olive branch to the NFL kneelers by asking them to send him names of African-Americans they feel were unfairly treated by the criminal justice system, promising to have his administration review such cases and take remedial action if warranted.
  • In May 2018, African-American NYPD detective Miosotis Familia, mother of two, was gunned down by a cop hater.  At a memorial service in the nation’s capitol, President Trump hugged, kissed and held hands with Familia’s 90-year-old mother.  Would a racist ever do such a thing? Click hereto see heart-breaking pictures of Familia’s grieving mother embracing President Trump.

Democrats know President Trump is not a racist.  But because the “race card” has long been an effective way to incite racial hatred against Republican presidents, they continue to target him with racial invectives.  Unfortunately for them, the black electorate is awakening to the fact that they’ve been lied to about America’s current president.  Last December, Newsday reported an electrifying surge in black support for Trump, with three national polls showing his approval among black voters at 33, 34 and 35 percent, respectively.  With Democrats having taken the black vote for granted since the 1960s, survey results like those could torpedo their chances on November 3.

With a Reprd is losing its clout, but that won’t stop more fabricated charges of racism against President Trump. In attempting to drive down his record approval among black voters, Democrats will continue using one of the Third Reich’s most effective propaganda techniques: If you’re goingublican president extending a hand of genuine friendship to the African-American community, the race ca to lie, make it a Big Lie, keep repeating it and people will believe it.

See how a half-century of Democrat rule has devastated urban America by watching

The same media that smugly cry “racism!” at the drop of a hat are now blaming the high coronavirus death rate among black Americans on … racism. Embedded in the article below is a video of four black ex-convicts who describe the greatest harm inflicted on black people, and it has absolutely nothing to do with racism. – JE

Racial politics rears its ugly head in debate over COVID-19 death rates among blacks

As reported by ABC News, African-American coronavirus patients in Michigan died of the disease at more than eight times the rate of white people despite making up only 14% of the state’s population.  Similar death disparities occurred in other U.S. cities with large black populations, thus creating an opening for racial politics to be injected into the debate over Covid-19 death rates in the African-American community.

At the Coronavirus Task Force press briefing on April 7, Dr. Anthony Fauci correctly observed that African-Americans are disproportionately affected by disparities in illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and asthma, all of which are known to increase the risk of fatal coronavirus complications.  The widely respected epidemiologist went on to note that such disparities have “long been prevalent in the African-American community.”  With higher coronavirus death rates among African-Americans an established medical fact, progressive media outlets are raising the specter that racism is to blame.

The suggestion that the medical profession is rife with racist doctors and nurses is an unfortunate extension of the modern Democratic Party’s identity politics election strategy, which is predicated on the fallacious narrative that even after all the years of racial progress, the America of today is an incurably oppressive place infested with racists who roam the land, including in hospitals and medical facilities that care for all Americans, regardless of the color of their skin.

No intelligent person can deny that residual racism still exists among some unenlightened people in our society, including some who work at health care facilities.  But there’s a reason for the health disparities Dr. Fauci talked about that has absolutely nothing to do with racism.  I’ll get to that in a minute, but first a small slice of America’s racial history.

Where black lives don’t matter

For most of America’s otherwise storied history, two evil institutions — slavery and segregation — saw to it that black lives didn’t matter.  In 1964, hope among Americans of African descent soared when a Democrat president launched a noble war, the war on poverty.  Then, in a cruel twist of fate for a people subjected to economic oppression since their country’s founding, that hope would be crushed when the war on poverty was turned into what would become a third evil institution in America.  As was true of plantations in the Old South, The New Plantation has become a place where black lives don’t matter, except in the lead-up to elections.  Please stay with me here, because what follows is important.

Since 1964, $25 trillion in anti-poverty funding has been spent, with the lion’s share going to America’s largest Democrat-run cities.  After nearly six decades of uninterrupted Democrat rule, America’s inner cities more resemble bombed-out war zones than suitable places for human beings to live.  Despite all that money and all those years, the New Plantation is still defined by an unconscionable number of abandoned buildings, empty houses and vacant lots surrounded by rampant crime, government dependency, generational poverty and inexcusably sorry schools, the sum of which has led to chronic despair and hopelessness among the urban poor.

Crumbled infrastructure is bad enough, but the real cost is the human cost.  By intentionally pushing welfare policies known to kill the human spirit, the post-1960s Democratic Party has foisted unmitigated havoc on the most vulnerable people in our society, with the destruction of the black family as Exhibit A: Seventy-seven percent of black babies in the New Plantation are born out of wedlock.  Seventy-seven percent!

Democrats say their motives were pure, and that may have been true a half-century ago.  They say they need more time, more money.  Another half-century, another $25 trillion?  For what?  More of the inhumane living conditions that have existed unabated in the New Plantation for six consecutive decades?

Having been addicted to the demeaning lifestyle of government dependency, millions of decent people in our inner cities are economically confined to the squalid living conditions endemic to the New Plantation.  Regardless of race, people who live in squalor generally make the kind of poor lifestyle choices — cigarettes, alcoholism, drug addiction,  junk food — that lead to the diseases Dr. Fauci cited as causing a disproportionate share of coronavirus deaths among African-Americans.

Poor lifestyle choices by residents of the New Plantation aren’t caused by racism; rather, such choices can be laid squarely at the feet of the post-1960s Democratic Party and its cynical welfare-for-votes election strategy.

The good news is that black people are awakening to what Democrats have done to the people in our inner cities, as evidenced by the surge of black support for President Trump, and an electrifying 2014 video of four Chicago ex-convicts tearing into President Obama and the Democratic Party for betraying the people of urban America with a half-century of broken promises.

What these four men have to say should be heard by every black person in America and every white person who continually votes for the party that bears full responsibility for perpetuating the tragic living conditions described in the video below.

Propaganda Wins, Sheeple Comply and Freedom Dies

/in , , , , , /by

“The further society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” –  George Orwell

“Only the mob and the elite can be attracted by the momentum of totalitarianism itself. The masses have to be won by propaganda.” – Hannah Arendt

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.  It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.  The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” –  C.S. Lewis

A healthy economy requires freedom.  Locking up healthy people is insanity.  Covid-19 is a trial, a drill, a simulation of what the elitists want to do to America.  This is part of the plan for global governance, and few people recognize the massive deception.  Too many Americans have given up their freedoms, and their logic to untrustworthy and deceptive authorities.

Compliance

During the Holocaust, they convinced people to put their families on trains (for their own good/safety) so they could be taken to a “safe place.” We all know the result of that. Is history repeating itself? The government has shown us just how quickly they can take over every aspect of our lives.

Authorities decree only “essential businesses” can be open.  We have allowed our civil liberties (the unalienable Bill of Rights) to be terminated.  You had better comply.

In Daniel Greenfield’s recent article, he writes, “Informing on your friends and neighbors used to be something that the socialists on the other side of the Iron Curtain used to do. What kind of people, we used to wonder, do things like that?

Wonder no more. Cities and states across the country have made it the hour of the aspiring informant. If you always longed to live in Cuba, North Korea, or the USSR, all you have to do is dial 1-800-INFORM.”

How long will it be before a member of the contract tracing corps will pull over and ask you for your ID, prove where you live, and if you’re outside your “zone” and a violator, consequences will follow.

The states run by the Democrat Party, and even some run by neo-con Trotskyite Republicans, will not allow full reopening because they want this to last long enough to destroy Trump’s economy during election year and they relish their control over the masses.

And what does the Gates Foundation have planned for us with mandatory vaccines? Nothing good.

How stupid is the American population?  We lost 80,000 people in the 2017-2018 flu season, but now we close down the entire economy for 6,500 deaths because Pence’s globalist “experts” tell us it will kill 2.2 million.  This is not medical, it is political…

Propaganda

A few days ago, I shopped at a local upscale store where we buy all our meat.  They had emailed customers to wear masks when they entered their stores.  My husband had been there previously with his mask, but told me that only half the people in the store were masked up, so I didn’t bother.

While shopping through the store an elderly woman donned with her homemade mask screamed at me that I was risking the lives of everyone in the store by “disobeying the rules.”  Oh boy.  I told her that the evidence is not compelling that Covid-19 is airborne, there is no proof that wearing homemade masks help, and that my not wearing a mask would not inflict harm on anyone in the store…she continued yelling at me.  I told her to go scream at the good looking tall black man with no mask, unless she was afraid of being called a racist…at that point she left me alone.  I wanted to ask her if she’d ever read the Bill of Rights, but restrained myself, knowing it would be useless.

Only N95 masks are really helpful, but they need to be properly fitted.  Hospitals are short of them, thus the homemade masks on everyone but a few, which make it difficult to breathe, difficult to talk, people continually fiddle with them while they’re on, and you’re inhaling your own carbon dioxide.  Tell me why people wear masks when they’re alone in their cars?  Bizarre!

Every store is marked as to where people should stand, six feet apart from each other.  Not only can’t we get close to people to speak to them, but now the masked faces are making everyone into dehumanized objects…and afraid of everyone else.  This is more than propaganda, more than destruction of our economy; it is creating vast problems in society, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) “expert” who shelled out a total of $7.4 million to the Wuhan biolab is saying we may never shake hands again.

U.S. diplomats warned about safety risks in the Wuhan lab two years before the outbreak.  Rudy Giuliana said that even after the State Department issued reports about how unsafe the Wuhan laboratory was, and how suspicious they were in the way they were developing a virus that could be transmitted to humans, Fauci gave them a grant of millions. The NIH, which oversees Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), shut down all funding to the lab last week.

Fauci has been telling us that hydroxychloroquine needs to have studies, but he’s known since 2005 that chloroquine is an effective inhibitor of coronaviruses.  This past weekend, economic advisor, Peter Navarro angrily clashed with Fauci over the effects of Hydroxychloroquine. Everyone should study Dr. Fauci’s dark past.

Death certificates list Covid-19 when patients actually died of flu, pneumonia or other illnesses. The inflated numbers increase the fear and totalitarian control of the masses.  Drs. Erickson and Massihi’s videos were removed from YouTube, but their press conference is still available. In it they verified that physicians were pressured to put Covid-19 on all death certificates.

Video Here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJprwe_rWeM#action=share

Social isolation from this flu-like virus has also been found to be associated with poor mental health including increased risk for depression, cognitive decline, anxiety, and substance use. Social isolation in elderly individuals is also associated with an increased risk for dementia.  There’s poor Joe Biden in his basement.  Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai tells about how social isolation up-regulates inflammatory cytokines and down-regulates anti-viral proteins in your body, so we’re more susceptible to illness.

And we can’t go to church to pray and worship.  Clergymen had better get some chutzpah or they’ll never open again.

Food Shortages

Every Tuesday Fresh Market sells boneless chicken breasts and ground chuck for $2.99 a pound.  Last Tuesday, the line for the meat counter was all the way back to the entrance, and of course socially distanced.  I was shocked that many knew there was a coming meat shortage and were there to stock up.  We were only allowed to buy three chicken breasts and three pounds of ground chuck.

There is a severe strain on our food chain, especially when it comes to moving animals through processing plants, but by and large, they’ve done a good job.

Cliff Kincaid had warned us back on April 15th with his article, “Trump Knows Starvation is Not an Option for America.”  Devvy Kidd wrote two articles that delineated the euthanizing of millions of chickens and pigs and are now pushing farmers to destroy their cattle and get this…even their crops.  Please read her short article with the links, and don’t stop there, read her previous article that spells out the anger resonating from the people regarding this politically motivated lockdown.  It’s not medical, it’s political…get that in your mind!

My friend Janet was on a conference call with an expert in agribusiness recently, and here’s what she said the woman told her:

She explained how 60% of the food supply is geared for commercial or industrial use and 40% for consumer markets.  Because commercial and consumer supply chains are different and cannot be easily transferred, enormous amounts of food are going to waste.  Apparently, milk and produce are being dumped, chick producing eggs are being destroyed and cattle are being euthanized.  Those who produce for commercial markets don’t have the supply line, containers or equipment to provide product for the consumer markets.  

You can imagine that if you’re producing millions of half-pint containers of milk for grade schools, you can’t sell them to supermarkets that sell gallon jugs.  Also, your machines don’t accommodate gallon jugs and you can’t retool easily due to large capital outlays and the availability of new equipment.  

We have dug ourselves into a big hole for a virus with the lethality (or less) of the seasonal flu!

We haven’t seen the end results of this panic.  There’s going to be a profound impact on medical care, the food supply, education, businesses, every sector of society.  The economic and psychic costs will be far-reaching and many people will never recover from the impact.

Yes, shutting down an economy as large as America’s has devastating consequences.  President Trump is just finding out how devastating, and wondering why in heaven’s name he ever appointed establishment globalist Mike Pence to bring in “experts” tied to Bill Gates, the CDC, the NIH, WHO, the United Nations, and communist revolutionaries.

Drunk with Power

The actions of Governors Cuomo, Whitmer, Newsom and others doesn’t surprise me inasmuch as these politician’s love totalitarianism…they prefer communist control, and their draconian actions prove it.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio drew fierce criticism late Tuesday after he singled out “the Jewish community” in a trio of tweets announcing that he had instructed his police department to fine or even arrest social distancing violators. The mayor was responding to a funeral that had drawn hundreds of Orthodox Jews to the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to mourn a beloved rabbi who died of the coronavirus.  Those Jewish folks should be outraged.

NY Governor Cuomo, NJ Governor Murphy and CA Governor Newsom have made nursing homes accept Covid-19 patients from hospitals. Cuomo then blamed nursing homes’ greed for not turning away coronavirus patients despite his directive stating they must accept Covid patients.  Residents and workers fear the policy is risking lives.  This makes the spread of the virus more likely as it affects the elderly and immune compromised.  Sounds like murder.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced that residents are no longer able to travel between the hours of 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. That guidance will be in effect for the foreseeable future, he said.  This is even more restrictive than the 1968 Democratic Convention riots in Chicago where the curfew was 10 p.m.  Why are Americans putting up with these vile unconstitutional totalitarian orders from communist politicians?

Michigan Governor Whitmer has infuriated her populace with her draconian restrictions, disallowed businesses to open and people to venture from their homes or meet with others.  The Michigan House gave Republican Speaker Lee Chatfield the authority to file a lawsuit against Whitmer when they voted against extending her emergency powers.  Here are photos of the massive protests in Michigan against Governor Whitmer.

Across the country there are protests against the lockdown.  Here’s a photo of an American who understands totalitarianism, which doesn’t seem to shock many anymore.

According to the WSJ, Trump is all for these protests, and even “woke” Berkeley balks at continuing the lockdown.

Democratically controlled Virginians have had enough and are traveling and saying, “To hell with social distancing.”

California’s Newsom has once again closed the beaches.  Being in the sunshine on the beach is probably the safest place you can be, as the sunlight kills the virus.  We’ve even been told to put our shoes upside down in the sun to kill any virus we picked up while out shopping or walking.  Huntington Beach has mounted a legal fight against Newsom’s despotic closure of California beaches.

Sacramento CA protests.

Ohio’s Governor Mike DeWine, who I knew in Dayton when he was a lowly politician, announced late Monday that the state’s polls would not be open for the presidential primary there, even though a judge denied Ohio’s earlier request to cancel it.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee has held firm with the stay-at-home order and refused to reopen the state for business until June 1st.  Protests have mounted.  Alleged Covid deaths are 819 in a population of nearly 7 million, or .0117 percent of the population.

Meanwhile, social media has censored every physician telling the truth about this virus and the real numbers…they only allow the government socialist propaganda to prevail.

Corruption

Where is the chutzpah to open our houses of prayer?  Our clergymen are silent. Our first amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Open our synagogue and church doors; this shutdown destroys religious freedoms.  Yet NYC Mayor de Blasio threatens to permanently close churches who disobey the shutdown order!

I’m angry for many reasons.  I want my country fully opened for business again.  I want this stupid social distancing bull hockey to stop, I want people to tear off those idiotic masks (N95 masks should be used by immune compromised individuals), and I want people to realize this was not a medical epidemic, but a purposeful political debacle to destroy not only our President, but our God given liberties immortalized in America’s Constitution.  We’ve allowed politicians to terminate our rights; we must fight to retrieve them!

Tennessee mayors like Nashville’s John Cooper are raising property taxes by 32 percent because the lockdown has eliminated funds from sales tax.  This has torpedoed city budgets, and these increases will totally destroy business owners. Open every state in the union!

We’ve been lied to regarding this entire Chinese Wuhan virus.  Along with Drs. Shiva Ayyadurai and  Rashid Buttar, Stanford University professor of medicine, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya says much the same thing…there is another agenda with this lockdown.

Video Here:  https://youtu.be/-UO3Wd5urg0

Tennessee has lost 238 people to Covid-19 out of a population of nearly 7 million.  That is miniscule.  What is not being reported is the number of suicides from the forced lockdown which caused massive small business losses. As of the end of March, we had lost 199 citizens from suicide because of the economic closures, which at that time was more than from Covid-19.  April suicide figures are not yet available.

The state of Michigan has lost 1,137 citizens (remember we don’t know if all of them were really by Covid-19) and Michigan has a population of 9.987 million. That’s .0113840 percent of the population who died of Covid and Governor Whitmer is keeping them shut down for far fewer than died of flu. Here is the national flu/pneumonia death rate according to the CDC. This is control…not medical safety.

Tucker Carlson has said there is no penalty for overt authoritarianism, for censorship of freedom of speech, and for the massive expansion of our surveillance state currently in progress noting that tech companies now routinely watch the actions of American citizens via their cell phones and surveillance drones.

Conclusion

The socialists have plans for us.  Governor Cuomo actually spoke the truth in this video when he said, “Everything we’re doing is basically voluntary … State government, federal government, local government doesn’t have the power to enforce stay-at-home orders.  If 19 million people said I’m going out today, they would go out.” Link

The U.S. Constitution guarantees our God-given right to pray, to assemble, to speak, and to move.  This has been forgotten with a virus that is less than one percent deadly.  Absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Freedom is not something you buy; it is something you earn.  Time to take it back now!

Battle of Biblical Proportions

/in , , , , , /by

There is so much going on and time for me is short. We are in the midst, of a battle of biblical proportions. I believe major indictments and arrests are imminent. More on this later in this commentary. Pray for our war time President Donald J. Trump.

I know one thing for sure, we must unite with one heart and one mind and cast our differences and in-fighting aside, for we are in it together. This PLANdemic has been enormously disruptive all over the world, but it has in fact failed and so expect further attacks on multiple fronts. We are at war. Not red and blue armies with bayonet rifles and cannons, but an intelligence war which includes a war on your mind.

General Michael Flynn

General Flynn, an American Hero, as I and others have stated all along, was set up in a crooked cop perjury trap. Flynn will remain free either by process or pardon. I hope he sues them. Yes, it is the Federal Governments obligation to pay, thus we the tax payer must pay, and, I for one, would be honored to participate. In either case they are all going down. I also see a pardon for Roger Stone down the pike. Would be great to have General Flynn serving under the Trump administration to help us take down the deep state. Let’s see how this plays out and thank you so very much, Sydney Powell. Stay safe. Flynn now opens the floodgates. Arrests and further indictments are now imminent.

Malfunctioning Joe And the Two Ladies (well maybe it’s really only one)

We all know that Biden is a creepy man with images and videos over the years of his grossly inappropriate behavior not only to women, but little boys and girls. Biden will also be taken down in due time for his abuse of power in office with the Ukraine, Burisma, China and scores of other dealings over his political career, one of no substance, just destruction in my view.

I’ve written and spoken about this for quite some time and still believe so to this day. I may be wrong. Time will tell. The Democrats and DNC know that Biden cannot beat Trump in spite of the “skimming”, that is taking place today with completely bogus polling in battleground states. It’s all BS. Could these sexual allegations be just what the doctor ordered for the Dems? Believe me, they already threw Biden under the bus a long tine ago. Now they may drive the bus over him. Will he now, soon, be replaced? Is it a Hillary / Michelle, (the two ladies but maybe it’s really only one), ticket or something of the sort? Time will tell. And soon.

America Opening for Business

We now enter the combative phase of this insane lock down and shutdown of the global economy. President Trump has wisely left it up to the Governors to handle their states. The Federal guidelines have now been lifted. He is giving these Governors enough rope to climb back up to peace and prosperity or to expose and hang themselves. Most will climb. Others will hang. Let them hang. Why?

Because they are exposing themselves. And the people, even many Democrats and independents (notice I did not mention the far left liberal lunatics), will be parting ways with these Democrat Governors, Mayors and elected officials at the ballot box. The American people want to get back to work. They want to get back to the business of life and living in America. Another brilliant move by our President. Meanwhile, AG Barr is on the record stating that he is watching if (when), Governors encroach upon our Constitutional rights and civil liberties and cross the line, they can expect a visit from AG Barr. Whose in control of all this? Trump and we the patriots, that’s who. Carry on.

Army Reserves Called To Duty

President Trump last week called additional reserves to help south of our border, going after and taking down the drug and human trafficking cartels. This of course is important not only for obvious reasons, but this cuts off major funding for the deep state scumbags.

What’s Next?

This PLANdemic turns out to be an evil and disgraceful hoax of gargantuan proportions; crimes against humanity. Further justice is coming, They just keep piling it on. You can learn more abut this by reading the links below which include video discussions with medical experts, and I’m not talking about the deep starers, Fauci, Birx and the boogeymen.

As you have heard by now, Dr Erickson & Dr Massihi were on Laura Ingraham. Before the end of Laura’s show, YouTube took the interview down . Look around, Im sure you can find it somewhere. Here is a bit f what they said.

No need to shelter in place or shutdown business.  Quarantine only the sick.

  • Health system completely focused on COVID.  You quarantine only the sick but this is first time public health quarantined the healthy which is the antithesis of what we do in healthcare.  We have never responded like this in the history of our country and disease management.
  • Quarantine of the healthy decreases the effectiveness of your immune system – then the disease will spike.
  • 12% CA positive for COVID.  Fauci predicted millions of deaths not just cases.  Widespread exposure which is good to develop herd immunity.   In CA 1,220 deaths  0.03% chance of dying.  96% who contract this recover.
  • 0.1% chance of dying in NY  92% chance of recovery
  • We have tested over 4 million in this country – more than any other country  19.6% positive.  64 mil have it which is compared to flu
  • Deaths 37k – 60k/yr for deaths from Flu w/o shutting down business and sheltering in place.  Flu is ubiquitous.  in the US 0.01%
  • Spain – 22% of all tests positive  0.05% chance of death & 95% recovery
  • Lockdown – Sweden no lockdown  Norway lockdown   Sweden 21% of tested are positive = 2 mil cases  1,765 deaths vs  1,220 in CA with isolation.  Norway 4.9% positive = 1.3 mil cases 192 deaths .003% chance of death – Not really significant to necessitate a shutdown.
  • Cost of social isolation is horrific with an increase in  – child molestation, alcohol & drug use, spousal abuse, depression, suicide.
  • Staff is furloughed, and medical system collapsing
  • Flu  24k-62k deaths per CDC =  0.13% chance of death from flu in US per 2017 stats  widespread but small amount of deaths

So what’s next? The battle rages on. This is the big one, really. They have accelerated the NWO’s UN Agenda 2030 goals simply because all other attempts to remove this duly elected amazing president have not only failed, but boomeranged upon them. They have tried to splinter our movement and the support for this amazing, God’s chosen one, our miracle President. We have grown in numbers. Since this is a battle of biblical proportions and the inevitable re-election of Donald J. Trump looms, they will continue to fight until their last breath. Learn about UN Agenda 2030. This is Part I. Parts II, II, IV will be aired weekly over the next three weeks.

Dark To Light

Dark

Expect more false flags. Games will be played to attempt to have mail-in voting ballots only so they stand a better chance of stealing the election. Expect possible and deliberate disruptions to the food supply or perhaps a hit on the grid system. Perhaps something far worse. I’m not going to list the possibilities as I’d rather focus on what we all can and should be doing to unite and fight for whats right, the resurrection of America. The taking back of our way of life and of our country that we have allowed to slip away over these past 30 some odd years.This battle, right here, right now and for the duration of 2020 determines all.

President Trump told us that he caught the swamp a long time ago. And now, justice begins. Why so long in the making? Because the swamp runs far deeper than you think. The multiple investigations are thorough and all along the way we have been choking them off at critical points of power behind the scenes and on multiple fronts. Let us not forget there are over 160,000 Federal Sealed Indictments. And the people? They are not ready for the truth all at once. It would crash society and the world. We are talking about treasonous acts Crimes against humanity. Satanic and demonic practices including rape and sodomy of infants and children both boys and girls along with painful torturous deaths of such individuals so that those involved in the sacrifice, can have their adrenochrome.

We are talking about baseless endless wars resulting in massive destruction, huge debt, and the cost of millions upon millions of innocent lives and the stealing and rigging of elections as well as creating disease and pandemics for control and profit along with controlling us by controlling the debt based fiat currency, ruled and controlled by the Federal Reserve and the Central Bank system. These things and so much more including being lied to and propagandized until the cows come home via “education”, “entertainment” and the fake news creating a drugged up, dumbed down, and utterly brainwashed populace of regurgitating robots who are having a tough time detecting truth from lies. It has to drip out on them so they see if for themselves. This has been happening over the course of the past few years and is accelerating equally to commensurate with the attacks they are unleashing upon, us and the people of the world, our true brothers and sisters. The deep state , media , the Dems. and the rest of the scum, are absolutely panicking and scared to death. Why? Because they know what they have done. They know we know. They see their power slipping away. And they know we are about to take them down. It’s about to get very, very real,

The tech giants who are trouncing on our first amendment will lose all control after the election. We are working on this now. Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Amazon etc. Cures and treatment for the boogeyman virus are here and coming. I believe arrests are imminent. So does Joe Digenova, Donald Trump Jr., Lyndsey Graham Ann Vandersteel and Q along with many, many others. Remember, this is the battle of all battles. The battle of biblical proportions. It’s either us, or them. Failure is not a option. You can keep throwing stones at us, you can remain ignorant. You can serve the enemy, or you can get on the right side of history. We are in it together. The dot connecting is before you if you kook in the right places. We can help you. Follow us here.

I believe we will see very, very, soon, the arrests of Comey, Clapper, Brennan and others. Then the trials begin and the indictments begin to open like a water faucet. This gets the process started. It starts now with the exoneration of General Flynn and FISA warrant abuse. This is the door opener, Something the people can more easily relate to. It builds from there. The modern day Nuremberg style trails are coming to a theater near you. Get the popcorn and enjoy the show.

In my opinion, after the 2020 election victory for humanity, the trials and tribunals begin. They are ALL going down. This will go on for some years as the suppressed advances in medicine and science along with cures for various life threatening ailments see the light. New ways for free energy are coming and I am not talking about the AOC of crazy Bernie model. Sound money will be restored along with a debt jubilee. The Bible tells us that the borrower is a slave to the lender. This debt based system, will be coming to an end. Endless wars become ended wars. Peace and prosperity and not just surviving, but thriving as we were intended to by our creator. This is dark to light. It will go on for some years  and you must act. And act now!

So What Can I do?

It’s time to get rid of many of our all stable datums if you will. You know, things we believed to be true many actually be far from the truth. Get comfortable being uncomfortable until you arrive on new and true solid ground. We can help you. For starters, turn off the fake news or perhaps watch it to contrast the new media’s views. The truths that you yourself must seek out. I and others can only point you. I encourage you to follow my new JMC weekly Report. This will be a free to the public word press site that will keep us informed, empowered and connected, and in my opinion, like no other. It is free. There is a premium subscription as well for extraordinary values. This site will be released on or before Sunday May 10, 2020. A press release will precede it. Follow us here at News Behind The News for our daily live broadcat with my co-host Kelly Ruiz and amazing guests. We are live daily, Monday through Friday at 11:00 AM EST

What else can we do? Seek truth, then share truth. We are at war. We need to expand and strengthen our army. Do not underestimate these words. If you are in a position to financially contribute please do so. You can help me here.  Many people like myself are sacrificing so much to deliver content and establish valuable resources and connections. We need your financial support.

Surround yourself with like minded people who understand the times in which we live and expand those circles of influence. Stay alert. Stay safe and don’t get prepared-BE PREPARED. Food, medicine, water, etc. Gold and silver for those with investable assets because the transition of the economy from the Central Bank System does not come with out risk and volatility as we are witnessing today with the PLANdemic torpedo which shut down the greatest economy the world has ever known. The second quarter numbers will soon wreak havoc. We will be back on course but not overnight and not without pain. Heed the call now.

Pray. Pray for peace. Pray for our President and his family. Pray for the resurrection of America and pray for humanity. We are in it together. Victory is on the horizon.
