Was Hillary’s Attack on Tulsi Gabbard Part of a Plot to Destroy Trump?

/in , , , , , /by

On the surface, Hillary Clinton’s “Russian asset” attack last week on Rep. Tulsi Gabbard appeared the rambling of a bitter, perhaps unhinged woman. One observer suggested that Clinton was holding a grudge because the Hawaii Democrat supported Bernie Sanders and opposed her rigging of the 2016 primary process against him. Perhaps so. Or maybe, exhibiting typical leftist intolerance of dissent, Gabbard’s anti-war stance really does make her our time’s Leon Trotsky.

But what if Clinton’s attack is actually part of a plan to defeat President Trump in 2020? What if Clinton’s theory that Gabbard may run third-party is, aside from a deep Democrat fear, precisely what more Machiavellian Dems want?

Consider: The NOQ Report’s J.D. Rucker correctly points out that, contrary to conventional wisdom, Gabbard would draw far more votes from Trump than the Dems. As he explains:

If Gabbard ran, she’d do so by positioning herself as the common sense choice against an “extremist” on the right in President Trump and a “radical” on the left in Elizabeth Warren or whoever wins the nomination.

Sad reality: There are more Democrats in this country than Republicans. The electoral college [sic] degrades this advantage a bit, but if there were no Independents, Democrats would win most elections. If we assume Gabbard will pull mostly from Libertarians and Independents, then that’s an advantage for Democrats. There is no way for the President to win if he doesn’t get the votes of a majority of Independents.

Rucker nails it. Gabbard could appeal to many “undecideds” in the confused middle.

Moreover, the Democrats and their PR team, the mainstream media, would facilitate this by painting Gabbard not only as of a kind with Trump in “doing Putin’s bidding” and retreating from Syria, but as a closet conservative “never really at home in the Democrat Party.” This wouldn’t be hard given the congresswoman’s past positions and the media’s ability to shape narratives. They’d simply pick up on Jacobin magazine’s 2017 warning to “progressives” that “Tulsi Gabbard Is Not Your Friend.”

Note: This wouldn’t serve to convince most people that she’s actually a “conservative,” but that the “truth” lies between the Democrat and GOP claims — she’s a centrist. Besides, she’d appear another “outsider” alternative to Trump.

Rucker adds that since Gabbard has little money and would need a party behind her, a likely choice is the Libertarians, the country’s third largest party. With a little “tweaking” of her policies she could pass muster, Rucker says, and with a current or former Republican such as ex-congressman Justin Amash for balance, the ticket would appeal to many.

Is Gabbard Already Signaling a Third Party Run?

So what if Clinton & Co.’s goal is to attack Gabbard and alienate and anger her to the point where she does leave the Democrats and run third party? Oh, I’m not saying Clinton is smart enough to have planned this on her own, but that Bill and other crafty figures in her orbit are. But then there’s the kicker:

What if Gabbard is aware of this plot and is either an explicit or, more likely, a wink-and-nod participant?

Either way, the congresswoman may be signaling third-party intent. It’s not just her stated disgust with the Democrats but this: “I’m fully committed to my offer to serve you, the people of Hawaii & America, as your President & Commander-in-Chief,” she tweeted last week. “So I will not be seeking reelection to Congress in 2020.”

In other words, she’s going “all in.” But why? Does she seriously believe she can win the nomination in today’s far-left, “woke” Democrat Party? Or does she have another agenda?

Whatever the truth, if Gabbard altered her views — in this case to facilitate third-party ambitions — it wouldn’t be the first time. The congresswoman used to be pro-life, pro-marriage (meaning, one man/one woman) and opposed the special privileges some people call “gay rights.” What changed?

Gabbard says her two Mideast tours of duty caused an epiphany. “I began to realize that the positions I had held previously regarding the issues of choice and gay marriage were rooted in the same premise held by those in power in the oppressive Middle East regimes I saw,” she wrote — “that it is government’s role to define and enforce our personal morality.”

Uh, okay. But this flash of insight just so happened to coincide with her desire to win a congressional seat in über-liberal Hawaii. And her transformation suggests three possibilities:

  • Gabbard is hardly a thinker and never had principles, only preferences. Her comment’s conclusion is the equivalent of, and is as relativistically nonsensical, as speaking of “personal truth.” If it’s personal, it’s not morality. It then has a different name: taste. (Moreover, all just law reflects morality and is thus “religious,” as I explain here and here.)
  • Gabbard, power-prostitute style, never had principles and will say anything to get elected (conservative suckers for pretty faces, take note).
  • Both of the above.

All this said and in accordance with Occam’s razor, I freely admit that my third-party-plot theory isn’t the most likely explanation here. Leftists are emotion-driven creatures, and Hell hath no fury like a Hillary scorned. So maybe Clinton’s bitterness was again showing. It’s also true that Gabbard claims to have dismissed running third party.

But she has flip-flopped before. Moreover, all the attention such an effort would bring — the media could want to maximize this “centrist’s” exposure — may appeal to Gabbard’s vanity. And, oh, harking back to Rucker’s Libertarian Party theory, note that the congresswoman’s not-“government’s role to define and enforce our personal morality” line is right out of libertarians’ playbook. She’s not exactly an odd fit.

What I am quite convinced of is that a Gabbard third-party run would hurt Trump and that, as the Russia and Ukraine cons evidence, such a scheme would not be an odd fit for the Democrats.

They Butchered ‘Star Wars,’ and I’m Not Hopeful for ‘The Rise of Skywalker’

/in , , , /by

Who knows? Maybe “The Rise of Skywalker” will bind all the tedious storylines of the first two “Star Wars” sequels into a cohesive and rewarding coda.

Then again, if the new trailer offers any clues—and as I understand it, this is the point of trailers—the movie looks like it will ratchet up the fan service in hopes of saving an incomprehensible mess.

If someone asked you to cogently explain the narrative of the sequel trilogy, could you honestly do it?

“The Last Jedi” has been on Netflix for months, and this lifelong fan—a fan who paid to see “The Revenge of the Sith” in theaters at least three times—hasn’t even been able to rewatch it once for free.

To put that in perspective, I would rather binge entire seasons of an English baking show than sit through a $300 million sequel to my favorite childhood movie.

It’s not only that I don’t care one whit about the plot, it’s that I don’t care one whit about the characters either.

Instead of the emperor, we have Snoke. Instead of Vader, we have Kylo. Instead of Luke, we have Rey. Instead of Han, we get both Finn and Poe. Instead of Yoda, we get Luke. Instead of R2-D2, we get BB-8. So on and so on.

Not one of the stand-ins, many of them portrayed by talented actors, are nearly as compelling as the originals, many of whom were portrayed by terrible actors.

These failures might be forgivable if the space opera made any sense. Instead, we are left to watch characters spin their hyperdrives while J.J. Abrams performs a mercy killing of one original character per movie.

May they rest in peace.

It’s just incomprehensible that they could mess this up so badly.

When I was 8 years old, I first sat in a movie theater and watched “Star Wars” (not yet “The New Hope”). It was probably the most exhilarating cultural experience of my youth.

The story, the effects, the sound were all light years ahead of anything a kid could imagine. Much of my time from then on was spent convincing relatives to buy me “Star Wars” figures.

I helped make George Lucas, who had famously kept the merchandising rights for his film, a zillionaire. And I guarded these toys with my life.

Until I was around 12, my dream was to own one of those expensive Kenner Millennium Falcons. (If I could get away with it, I’d buy one today.)

Learning that Vader was Luke’s father had real emotional impact on this 10-year-old. I’ve wasted more time reading “Star Wars” “novels” than I care to admit. (Why didn’t they just use the “Thrawn” trilogy as a basis for the sequels?)

Even in my 20s, I was still legitimately excited by the prospect of prequels. I remember waiting forever for the “Phantom Menace” trailer to load on my dial-up connection and watching those Lucas creations emerging from the fog.

It was a short-lived thrill, of course. Though the opening scene of “The Phantom Menace,” displaying the power and prestige of Jedi cult, held some promise, my heart soon began to sink as the story submerged into trade negotiations (possibly the most boring topic in the entire galaxy) and a discursive on midichlorians.

Why was Lucas wasting precious time explaining the genetics behind the Force? Why was he killing off the best characters (Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul)?

All of this happened a long time ago and somewhere far away, and much of it should be left to the imagination.

But Lucas, freed of any oversight, had somehow managed to create prequels that were simultaneously excessively convoluted and insultingly unsophisticated.

So some of us blamed Lucas, whose wooden dialogue and problems with pacing were well known. Some of us had high hopes for Abrams, who had deftly rebooted the “Star Trek” franchise while preserving the sensibilities of the original show.

Some of us are constantly being disappointed. In the end, the most notable accomplishment of the sequels was making the prequels seem bearable.

I’m not completely bitter about the sale of Lucasfilm to Disney. “Rogue One” is one of the better films in the franchise. The animated shows are fun. And though many people will disagree, I find “Solo” preferable to either of the sequels or any of the prequels.

My expectations for “The Mandalorian” are far higher than they are for “The Rise of Skywalker.”

Maybe the big reveal of “The Rise of Skywalker” will make it all worthwhile, but I doubt it. The thing is, I can’t get myself to really care who Rey’s parents are because I don’t care about Rey or anyone else.

After a string of disappointments, I’m mostly just thankful the madness is coming to an end.

In Trump We Trust [+Video]

/in , , , /by

Now before you get your panties in a bunch, of course the supreme being rules over all. Having said that I shall carry on. It’s an amazing time to be alive. It’s great and proud to be an American once again. In Trump we Trust.  Support this man with everything you have or you will have nothing at all.

I Told You So

For those of you who follow my work, over 400 articles, several books, hundreds of speeches, dozens of media interviews and so on. You’ve heard me say it before. So here goes again. You have little faith. Stay the course. Trust the plan. There is one and it is unfolding exactly as it should. Timing and optics. Know this, we are winning. This is an intelligence battle. There will be no impeachment. They are all going down. Hearings, probes, investigations, indictments, prosecutions, sentencing. Prison, GITMO, executions and military tribunals. Marines activated. Q-QANON and other intel sources. Pedophilia the Achilles Heel of the deep state. Epstein. Global Financial Reset. Soon, IRS and Federal Reserve overhauled, controlled, restoring sound money and power back to the people.

Remember? It’s either us or them. Failure is not an option as this is the resurrection of America. The survival of our nation. A course correction for humanity. This one’s for all the marbles. Over 100,000 sealed indictments. FISA brings down the house. They are all going down. Comey, Strzok, Page, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Schiff, Pelosi and many many others. Corporate people. Political people. Media mouthpieces. Hollywood idiots. Royalty. Many abroad. All going down. Oh and yes as I have stated before and shall state again now, the Clinton’s, and Obama’s go down big time. This is Trump and the age of transparency. The Bushes for the most part are already under control. We get Trump for at least four more years. Oh, can you say Don Jr?

Donald J. Trump, the most loved man alive. Global support coming soon for Trump. Ending all wars. Repositioning the global Geo-Politcal landscape. Fake news. New media emerging. China, Tech giants, Banksters, Big Pharma have all met their match. Trump a most formidable challenge. Hit Trump? Attack Trump? Go after Trump? And the wrath of God will be your consequence.

A paradigm shift of gargantuan proportions is now underway. Some say “Trump you can’t handle the storm”. Nonsense. Trump is the storm and the storm is now upon us. Stay safe. Surround yourself with like minded people who truly understand the times and expand this circle of influence. Be strong. Seek truth. Speak truth. False Flags will escalate in frequency and in destruction. Be safe. Be prepared. Be vigilant. Trump. Never under estimate what one man can do. This is Trump and the resurrection of America. Rule of law President. Trump restoring power to the people. WWG1WGA.

Divine Intervention

Yes we have been given a chance in this brief breath in eternity to resurrect America. Do not squander this miraculous moment in our history.

As George Washington was divinely inspired and protected to form America, it is my belief that Donald J. Trump is divinely inspired and protected to resurrect America. Trump’s whole life has led him to this precise moment in time. There are no accidents. No coincidences. There are three things that cannot long be hidden, the sun, the moon and the truth. Get with the program. Be on the right side of history. It’s an amazing time to be alive. It’s great and proud to be an American once again. Thank you President Trump Thank you sir. We the patriots are with you. In Trump we Trust. Support this man with everything you have or you will have nothing at all.

Clarion Call

This battle will rage on for the rest of our lives. Pray for our President and his family. No Trump-no hope. What we do right here, right now is for posterity. So when your children and grandchildren ask you “What were you doing when the global governance was being thrust down the throat of America and the world, what will your answer be? Freedom, it’s up to U.S.

Elizabeth Warren and the destruction of the West’s moral compass

/in , , , , /by

Elizabeth Warren has joined the likes of the antisemitic and anti Israel “Squad” and other members of the far left Socialist Democrats. Warren would cut or eliminate military aid to Israel the only U.S.ally in the middle-East if elected to the detriment of U.S. and Israel security.

This is the new Democrat party.

Elizabeth Warren and the destruction of the West’s moral compass

By Melanie Phillips

The Democratic presidential hopeful, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, has suggested that she would consider cutting military aid to Israel to force it to halt construction of settlements in the disputed territories.

“It is the official policy of the United States of America to support a two-state solution, and if Israel is moving in the opposite direction then everything is on the table,” she said. To ensure that no one failed to understand her threat, she repeated her final phrase.

Her comment furnished more evidence that Warren resembles British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in her far-left and Israel-bashing views. This threatens to harm not only the sole democratic U.S. ally in the Middle East, but also the interests and security of America itself.

Hillary Clinton — The Human Spittoon

/in , , , /by

Writer’s note: I wrote the following article last year, but it now appears that Hillary’s mental condition and pathological desperation have devolved. Just this week, she accused the leftist presidential candidate, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI)––a combat veteran and Major in the Hawaii Army National Guard––of being a “Russian asset” groomed to ensure President Trump’s reelection.

Rep. Gabbard—also, according to Christopher W. Holton, is a “dangerous shill for the Ayatollahs––fired back with a scathing tweet: “Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain.”

Indeed, the twice-failed presidential candidate is the woman who as Secretary of State received $150 million from Russia after giving Putin 2O percent of U.S. Uranium––a key material of nuclear bombs. And let’s not forget that Bubba got $500,000 dollars for a 30-minute speech in Moscow amid the Uranium One deal and The Clinton Foundation got $145 million!

All of which dovetails beautifully into my thesis that Hillary is putty in the hands of powerful men who have used her for decades to enhance their own power, essentially spitting in her face when they’re through with her “services.”

ARTICLE FROM LAST YEAR

In Hillary’s cringe-producing appearances over the past year and a half––since she lost the U.S. presidency in 2016 to Donald J. Trump––she has offered upward of 38 excuses to rationalize her loss, which Amanda Prestigiacomo has documented here exquisitely.

Among those excuses were sexism, the mainstream media, the electoral system, the Democratic National Committee, the Democrat Party, suburban women, stupid Americans, technology, deplorables, and, laughably, that she was “too honest.”

You get the picture––a classic, clinical case of paranoia and delusional thinking.

Oops…did I say 38 excuses? Make that 39! At a Shared Value Leadership Summit in New York City this past April, Hillary told the audience that she lost because she was a capitalist!

Right…and Donald Trump won because he’s a Communist!

Oops…did I say 39 excuses? Here, lawyer and Fox News commentator Gregg Jarrett lists 56 of Hillary’s excuses…and counting!

Among that Mt. Kilimanjaro of Hillary’s excuses, Jarrett lists: racism, misogyny, James Comey, the FBI, Russians, Vladimir Putin, WikiLeaks, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Twitter, Netflix, Chief Justice John Roberts, and The Drudge Report.

You get the picture––a classic case of Hillary’s pathological inability to look in the mirror!

Actually, the genuinely pitiful and self-deluding Hillary is so blind to her own behavior and so clueless about even the concept of accountability that she has spent her entire adult life not seeing what is obvious to literally everyone in the world!

Specifically, people don’t like when someone speaks one way and acts another. It is all well and good for this or that self-described feminist to talk about equality in the workplace, shared responsibility for raising children, and “woman power.” But everyone knows the following:

That Hillary’s “workplace” experience was a direct result of her husband’s position as, first, Governor of Arkansas, and second as President of the United States.

That their shared responsibility for raising their only child Chelsea fell largely to nannies.

That the woman power thing meant nothing in the face of the decades she spent tolerating her husband’s multiple affairs and humiliating abuse––and vilifying his victims!

Excuse No. 57 seems be that she was bullied in school…at least that’s the tale of woe she chose to tell a class of eighth graders when she gave the commencement speech at a tony San Francisco private school just a week ago.

Can excuse No. 58 be that Eleanor Roosevelt told her during one of Hillary’s famous séances that the election was rigged?

A SORDID HISTORY

Hill and Bill graduated from Yale Law School in 1973, married in 1975, and moved to Arkansas, where in pretty short order Bill won election as the Attorney General (from 1977-1979) and Governor of Arkansas (from 1979-1981 and 1983 to 1992).

During those years, Bill had a 12-year affair with singer and model Gennifer Flowers. Every day and every night of that affair, Bill was hurling saliva in the face of his wife Hillary, the human spittoon.

A spittoon, by the way, is a receptacle for spit, largely obsolete today, except for the human spittoon known as Hillary––the arch poster girl for literally more than four decades of non-stop spit abuse.

This is not an article about Bill Clinton’s testosterone levels or irresistible compulsion to seduce women other than his wife, but rather why any woman––particularly his wife––would withstand almost half a century of wiping saliva off her face and pretending that it’s raindrops.

My personal observation is that Hillary somehow realized––probably as a young girl––that there was something about her, both her personality and her character, that was strangely unlikable, even repellent and alienating. And that realization led her to conclude––accurately––that she could never actualize her far-left goals on her own without significant help from powerful men.

In 1973, fresh out of law school, she depended on a powerful man, Jerome Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, to appoint her to the prestigious position of investigator on the Watergate Committee to impeach or fire President Richard Nixon.

According to Zeifman, however, he had to fire Hillary for a lack of ethics! “She was a liar, she was an unethical, dishonest lawyer [and] she conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

THE SALIVA TSUNAMI

Zeifman spat in Hillary’s face… big time! But the very next year, she married Bill, ushering in a virtual lifetime of saliva!

Whatever Hillary claimed she was doing in Arkansas for women and children, it pales in comparison to the uncountable affairs her husband was having in plain sight––and the buckets of saliva she was wiping off her face every day and every night!

CNN, of all leftist and Clinton-supporting TV outlets, cataloged these “alleged” affairs and “non-consensual encounters” in elaborate detail. The very short list of those affairs, both in the “Natural State” and in Washington, D.C., were:

  • Gennifer Flowers: a 12-year affair.
  • Dolly Kyle Browning: Clinton’s high school friend reported off-and-on sexual encounters from the mid-1970s through January 1992.
  • Elizabeth Ward Gracen: Miss America of 1982.
  • Sally Perdue: Miss Arkansas of 1958.
  • Juanita Broaddrick, R.N.: Arkansas nursing home administrator who accused Clinton of rape in 1978.
  • Paula Jones, who said Clinton propositioned and exposed himself to her in 1991…he settled her lawsuit for $850,000.
  • Kathleen Willey (Democrat activist and White House volunteer who said that in 1993, Clinton grabbed and kissed her in the Oval Office’s private study.
  • Monica Lewinsky: White House intern whose affair with Clinton led to his impeachment.

In each and every instance of these extra-marital encounters––which occupied many many hours of his days and nights––Bill Clinton was hawking large globs of saliva in Hillary’s face. As if that were not enough humiliation, a 1995 biography “contained irrefutable evidence from one of their most trusted friends, Betsey Wright, who had been his chief of staff for seven years when he was the governor of Arkansas,” that Arkansas state troopers helped to solicit women for Bill. Of course, the White House put pressure on Wright to deny her account and she issued a statement saying she had been “misinterpreted.” But the author of the book insisted that he had cleared all the quotes with her in advance.

More telling is that in every single instance of Bill’s purported affairs, what did Hillary do? She sided with her abuser!

Was this dumb of Hillary? Pathetic? Cravenly political? Or, perversely, were Bill’s infidelities a turn-on for Hillary?

Indeed, one can speculate about motives, but some motives are crystal clear, as Kathy Shelton can tell you. In 1975, when she was 12 years old, according to journalist Bre Payton, Kathy was brutally raped by 41-year-old Thomas Alfred Taylor. Unfortunately for Kathy, Hillary represented Taylor and told the jury that young Kathy essentially asked to be raped.

According to reporter Alana Goodman, Hillary knew––and laughed about the fact––that Taylor was guilty at the time, but “used a legal technicality to plead her client, who faced 30 years to life in prison, down to a lesser charge.” She also laughed at the crime lab’s accidental destruction of DNA evidence that tied Taylor to the crime.

Some advocate for women and children! Even before Bill’s serial pattern of spitting in Hillary’s face, she was spitting in the face of a preteen rape victim!

NEW NAME FOR AN OLD PATHOLOGY

Women who spend their lives taking abuse from men––as Hillary has––is not a new phenomenon. All over the world, there are women in relationships with or married to men who spank them, beat them up, chain them, walk them around like dogs on leashes, and yes, spit on them.

Given Hillary’s lifetime of passively tolerating her husband’s non-stop, in-her-face spit-a-thon and her habit of blaming the women, I think it’s high time that The American Psychiatric Association considered including a new category in their bible of psychiatric disorders, the DSM––The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders––much like NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) or BPD (borderline personality disorder or ASPD (anti-social personality disorder).

The new category might be called HSTD––Hillary’s Spit-Tolerating Disorder.

Then again, the DSM already includes Sexual Masochism Disorder, which is a condition in which women actually get aroused “in response to enduring moderate or extreme pain, suffering, or humiliation.”

I could rest my case right here, but there might be another reason Hillary put up with an abusive husband.

THE ULTIMATE APHRODISIAC

Some women melt at the sight of an athlete. Others swoon at a guy who has M.D. or C.E.O. after his name. Yet others get stars in their eyes when they see a guy toting a big wad of cash.

But for other women, the biggest aphrodisiac of all is a guy they perceive as having power. Power in business, on Wall St., in philanthropy, in politics, in the mob. Guys who call the shots, who others genuflect before, who know what power is and how to use it.

I suspect that Hillary has always been a power junkie, and that she hoped her proximity to power would rub off on her.

But just like her cluelessness about losing the presidency to Donald J. Trump because of the 58- and-counting excuses she’s been spouting to anyone who will listen, she was equally clueless about winning the New York Senate seat because of the immense and genuine power and influence of Bill Clinton and about becoming Secretary of State under Barack Obama because of the immense and genuine power and influence of Bill Clinton.

What Hillary never “got” is that power is not heritable, not transferable, not something you get by osmosis just because it happens to be your particular fetish.

Perhaps the most pitiable thing about Hillary––other than the criminal indictment that is just down the road––is her almost childlike belief that if she weathered all the saliva that her husband and other powerful men hawked in her face, she would somehow inherit their power.

Can you imagine the massive vats of saliva Hillary would be receiving from dictators like Vladimir Putin (Russia) and Kim Jong-un (North Korea) and Recep Tayyip Erdogan (Turkey) and Bashar al-Assad (Syria) and Nicolás Maduro (Venezuela) and Mahmoud Abbas (the PLO) if she were the leader of the free world?

This is a woman who will go down in history as the very embodiment of a spit receptacle––a human spittoon. This is the woman who God, in his infinite wisdom and mercy, spared us from seeing as president!

On ‘Transphobia’ and the Sovietization of the West

/in , , , , , , /by

Posted by Eeyore

A recent event around Oxford is today’s stark yet lucid example of the Sovietization of the West. In this case, England, and more tragically, in the area with one of the brightest beacons of Greek civilization and the search for truth in World history, Oxford University.

Some people found stickers questioning the reality of the impossibility of men becoming women or women becoming men in any way beyond cosmetic. And the police got called.

The dictionary definition of man or woman today based on both ‘by definition’ standards as well as biological science, is perhaps not technically illegal. But as Stephen Coughlin explains in his paper, Neo-Marxist cultural changes drill down to politics and then to enforcement. Eventually to jurisprudence as normalization of the new culture sets in.

By definition standards in this case means we define humans as bipeds because nearly all of us walk on two legs and all of us by design walk on two legs despite any tragedy or malformation which may result in another means of locomotion. The same goes for being a man or a woman.

From The Telegraph:

A police force has been accused of “incredible irresponsibility” for treating the display of transphobic stickers around Oxford as a “serious crime”.

Some of the stickers, which have been dotted around the city centre, state: “Woman: noun. Adult human female” and “Women don’t have penises”.

Thames Valley Police has announced that those responsible could be charged with a public order offence and has appealed for witnesses.

It said: “Officers are investigating a large number of offensive stickers that have been placed across Oxford city centre containing transphobic comments.

“It is believed they started appearing in March within the High Street, Catte Street and Parks Road area.”

PC Rebecca Nightingale, the investigating officer, added: “Behaviour like this is not acceptable and we take incidents of this nature very seriously.”

Michael Biggs, Associate Professor in Sociology at the University of Oxford, suggested that the police had overreacted.

“This is literally the Oxford English definition of what a woman is,” he said.

“I can’t believe that needs any stance at all. To say that a dictionary definition is a terrible hate crime is extraordinary. The police is being incredibly irresponsible.”

To get back to reality for a stark second, ANY reaction is an over reaction. With the possible exception of littering or something but given the amount of Marxist or semi-Marxist propaganda one sees on every light standard or telephone pole, there should be no excuse for any reaction at all to a dictionary term.

Returning to this replacement for reality where truth is punishable and destructive fictions are rewarded, Michael Briggs has done an act of bravery beyond perhaps what he is aware of. Of it he is aware, he deserves all of our support. I could list all the professors we are aware of who have lost their jobs and/or been de-platformed for holding a factual position that runs against what is in fact, a full on assault against Western taxonomic systems, but Ill settle for just the one that was sent in today alone:

Did Mount Royal University cancel a geography field school taught by Mark Hecht because of an op-ed Hecht wrote about ethnic diversity?

[…]

Perhaps the cancelling of the Sustainable Europe school trip had more to do with the fact that the lead instructor was Mark Hecht.

Hecht, an instructor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at MRU, penned an op-ed in the Vancouver Sun on September 6th, 2019 entitled “Ethnic diversity harms a country’s social trust, economic well-being, argues instructor.” 

The article was met with immediate criticism on social media, with activists and journalists accusing Hecht, the Vancouver Sun and Postmedia (the Sun’s parent company) of bigotry, hate, and white supremacy. 

BC Human Rights Commissioner Kasari Govender declared Hecht’s article a “call to hatred”,  and NDP MLA Ravi Kahlon wrote a response op-ed, saying that Hecht’s piece was “racism and white supremacy wearing a thin disguise of academic bluster.”

I have not read Mark Hecht’s paper, but if this case is anything at all like the other profs who have been cancelled because they spoke a truth that was undeniable as factually correct and consistent with reality or a non-Marxist opinion,, (much like men are men and women are women and the twain meet every time a baby is required) he will be de-platformed for this little defence of free speech and reality. In Canada this is out of proportion to even the US in terms of profs who are fired or discriminated against for their opinions.

The case of Ricardo Ducherne is another perfect example of Sovietization of Western universities in Canada today. Prof. Ducherne is in fact Latin-American. So one tends to be skeptical of the White Supremacist label attached to him.

However he did commit the cardinal sin based on a Marxist model of what is allowed. He stated the fact that Western or European Civilization is the best system for humanity the world has ever seen.

That can be easily quantified in any number of ways of course. But the simplest one is that everyone tries to move into a Classical civilized country, while very very few move out of one to an African tribal one or an Islamic sharia one unless they have pretty extreme reasons. And as we saw with the Islamic State, most of them try and come back.

Perhaps its time someone placed some stickers around town that said:

Women = XX

The Political Money Game

/in , , , , /by

The donations received by political candidates is a strong indicator of their popularity. The more the candidate receives, the stronger their position becomes as it will be used for promotional purposes. The numbers for the last reporting quarter (3rd) to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) was recently concluded with some interesting results.

In the case of the Democrat Presidential Candidates, let’s look at the Top 10 candidates as reported by the FEC:

CANDIDATE- TOTAL $ RECEIVED- THIRD QUARTER-
SANDERS, BERNARD $74,516,657.41 $25,300,000
WARREN, ELIZABETH $60,339,946.81 $24,600,000 (1)
BUTTIGIEG, PETE $51,549,046.28 $19,100,000
STEYER, TOM $49,645,131.61 $49,645,131 (2)
BIDEN, JOSEPH R JR $37,785,260.96 $15,700,000 (3)
HARRIS, KAMALA D. $36,940,238.03 $11,700,000
DELANEY, JOHN K. $27,198,228.24 $ 500,000
BOOKER, CORY A. $18,494,484.80 $ 6,000,000
O’ROURKE, ROBERT BETO $18,184,974.91 $ 4,500,000
KLOBUCHAR, AMY J. $17,516,387.53 $ 4,800,000
  1. Significant upswing in donations, offsetting former VP Biden, and approaching Sen. Sanders’ numbers.
  2. 95.9% was donated by the candidate personally.
  3. Down $7M from last quarter.

Perhaps the most illuminating number, in terms of donations, is that of Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s, which picked up considerable steam in the third quarter. While her donations grew rapidly, former VP Joe Biden’s numbers have been plummeting, perhaps due to the controversy surrounding his participation in his son’s business dealings in the Ukraine and China. Whatever the reason, Sen. Warren has replaced the former VP as the front runner.

Many of the candidates are spending more cash than they receive in donations, particularly Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, Sen. Kamala Harris, and Sen. Cory Booker. Unless they can get a sudden uptick in popularity and substantial cash infusion, it is just a matter of time before they are forced out of the race.

The donations received by the Democrats pale in comparison to the $165M received thus far by President Trump. This does not include the millions also received by the Republican Party. In fact, the Trump campaign has cash reserves of $83.2M, which is more than the top three Democrat candidates combined. Not only is President Trump getting more donations than the Democrats, it appears his campaign knows how to manage their financial resources better.

More than anything, House Speaker Pelosi’s call for an impeachment inquiry triggered a huge response from the president’s supporters who donated generously to his re-election campaign. Such a response was anticipated as this accusation galvanized the Republicans to come to the aid of their president. In other words, it could be construed, the call for impeachment is the best thing that could happen to President Trump’s re-election.

Interestingly, none of the candidates thus far have asked for money from the Presidential Election Fund as found on our IRS 1040 forms. Maybe they are waiting until the final nominees are announced. If they do not use it though, why are we bothering with it?

No matter how you slice it, all of these donations, be it related to the Democrats or Republicans, is an obnoxious amount of money which we should be using for better things, such as repairing our infrastructure, the war on drugs, paying off the national debt, etc. Instead, it will inevitably go to the news media, thereby compounding our problem with fake news, which I personally regard as ridiculous.

Keep the Faith!

P.S. – Also do not forget my new books, “How to Run a Nonprofit” and “Tim’s Senior Moments”, both available in Printed and eBook form.

Pierre Delecto: Mitt Romney reveals his porn star name

/in , /by

If Mitt Romney were to take paid lessons from Carlos Danger, he couldn’t have picked a more upright Twitter handle than Pierre Delecto, which is French/Latin for “Delightful Peter.”

The clues were all out there, we just didn’t know how to look. Observe these headlines from recent years:

Mitt Romney’s Porn Star Endorsements

Mitt Romney and a porno spoof

Mitt Romney’s Secret Life as a Pornographer

First Lady of Porn Jenna Jameson Endorses Mitt Romney

Marriott, Mitt Romney, and porn

One might say that although these are all very progressive, Party-approved truthful media organs, they could be a bit biased because Mitt Romney opposed Obama as a Republican.

And yet these are the organs of the elites with whom Romney has been trying to get in bed ever since Trump had won the election. By doing so, he has been endorsing everything they had ever said about him in the past.

Thus, Romney admits that he is not only a high school bully, a capitalist predator, a murderer of cancer victims, a torturer of dogs, a slaver of women in binders – he is also a secret pornographer.

Wear your porn star name with pride, Pierre Delecto. You’ve earned it.

FISA Day of Reckoning

/in , , , /by

IG Report II is on the door step. We are told by members of Congress this report will hit any day now. This of course will be devastating to the deep state and its operatives. What is in store? Indictments and prosecutions for starters. Who may be among the first subject to this? Can you say Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Page, Strzok and others? You bet.

Be on the right side of history. Support President Trump. Optics and timing are everything. This is an intelligence war of which we are winning. Have faith. And for the naysayers and for those who take cheap shots at me and others, it’s okay for WWG1WGA. A cause for celebration for all patriot loving Americans is ours to be had. Multiple investigations are well under way. Things are happening. Wars are ending. The Geopolitical landscape is changing. Trump will help usher in peace in Syria. MSM is exposed and losing credibility. Sealed indictments of all kinds are being unsealed. Global financial reset is underway, watch after 2020 as Trump transforms the global monetary system. Dangerous days. Dangerous days ahead. But we are winning. Winning? Hell yeah!

Bracelets, Tweets and Assassination Attempts

Attacks will intensify as we draw near. Buckle down. Stay the course. Trust the plan. Support Trump. Do not waiver nor allow influencers in your circles to penetrate your position They will be proven wrong. Instead, help them.

Pelosi. Okay she is wearing a bracelet. It has a bullet on it. To the left and right of the bullet is an orange bead. She wore a green dress. Bullets kill. Orange man. Green light. Ivanka tweets something about Star Wars and the force being with her and her family. Comey tweets and eludes to layer of protection lifted for Trump. Texas rally man is arrested with gun in backpack. Aerosol cans  a helmet and a breathing mask. Maxine Waters, Tlaib and others are calling for the arrest, solitary confinement and assassination of Trump. Remember? The US Marines have been activated. Pray for our President and his family. The deep state is ramping up their attacks on multiple fronts in full scale panic mode. This will intensify because they know we are now winning. Listen to my message from Bangkok. And remember, freedom, it’s up to U.S.!

Liberals Continue to View Blacks as Ignorant [+Video]

/in , , /by

I am amazed that conservatives continually get hit with the “racist” label, even though it’s liberals who spew racism at every turn in their engagement with the Black community.

Implicit in liberalism is that Blacks or too dumb and too ignorant to make decisions that are in their own best interest; therefore, liberals use the power of the government to force liberalism upon the Black community.

Liberals are good at finding “media appointed” radical Black liberals to become the face of their miseducation of the Black community, thus creating the narrative that liberalism is within the mainstream of the Black community; which is definitely not the case.

The issues liberals are trumpeting currently are the insane notion, with absolutely no shred of evidence, that Republicans are suppressing the Black vote; and that the Black community does not support the Trump agenda.

So, liberals have amassed a cadre of Black sycophants that will simply parrot anything their masters tell them to.  They do this to curry favor with their overseers, even though they know it is destroying their own community.

You have a radical liberal media outlet like MSNBC who will give a talk show to radical liberal Joy Reid; but there is a condition.  She must renounce her own conservative values so the network can use her to promote the radical homosexual agenda to the Black community.  And of course she agreed because they offered her thirty pieces of silver along with the TV show.

This is a woman whose father is from the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the most conservative countries in all of Africa, so there is no way on Earth that she supports the radical homosexual agenda.  Even in private conversations she is against it; but fortune and fame are more important to her than the destruction of her own people.

Another radical sycophant liberals trot out to the Black community is my buddy, Roland Martin.  He is a quasi-journalist turned conspiracy theorist.  He keeps spouting off about some voter suppression campaign supposedly led by Republicans, without providing any evidence mind you.

Recently, Martin had this crazy radical conspiracy theorist on his digital show that was so far out in space that she made him sound rational.

Shireen Mitchell, a self-described social analyst and diversity strategist, whatever the hell that means, was recently on Martin’s show.  She simply made up some titles because she possesses no expert knowledge to talk about the issue she was on the show to discuss.

On this particular show, Martin has this women talking about how Russia created a disinformation campaign targeting the Black community during the 2016 presidential campaign.  I don’t disagree with that assessment.

But where Martin and Mitchell lost me was the notion that Black are too ignorant to determine how to internalize things they read on the internet before they decide how they will vote.

Again, radical liberals don’t think Blacks are capable of being “critical thinkers.”

To watch Martin and Mitchell engage in this exercise of psycho-babble, simply click on this link and begin at the 35:50 timestamp.  If you can understand this conversation, you are a better man than I.

Memo to liberals, EVERY nation interferes with the elections of other countries, yes, even the U.S. does it.  Not to do it would be political malpractice!

To debunk this liberal myth being perpetrated by radical liberals like Martin and Mitchell, I have done an experiment for the past three summers.

Many of my followers are aware that I do a lot of work in the entertainment industry.  So, I get asked quite frequently by people to get them tickets and backstage passes to various concerts.  Typically, I will leave the tickets at the will call window of the venue.  The venue, in most cases, require a government issued ID in order to pick up the tickets.

I arranged for an anonymous text message to be sent to each of their cell phones a day before the concert stating that the concert had been cancelled or moved to a different venue, or changed to a different day.

Not one person took the message at face value, but rather called me or the venue to verify the information.  Several of these people I got tickets for were from the hood.  Liberals always equate people from the hood with being dumb or ignorant.

So, Martin made the asinine statement that as a result of “Russian” misinformation, there was a 2.4% decrease in Black voter turnout.  There is absolutely NO facts to bear this out and there is NO provable causation to prove his ridiculous assertion.

So, if Blacks have enough sense to pick up the phone to verify details of a concert; don’t these same Blacks have enough sense to call someone if they get a message about the date of an election being changed?

This video gave me a headache and it is even more insulting to the Black community that you have radical liberal Blacks propagating the notion that Blacks are incapable of being critical thinkers.

This is why Republicans and Trump have a great opportunity to get north of 15% of the Black vote next year.  They only need to have substantive, serious engagement with the Black community.

Socialist Agitprop Used By Desperate Dems

/in , , , , /by

The recent event in the White House has demonstrated another example of the behavior of America’s Socialist mafia, schooled by the KGB and described in my previous column Stalin Planned America’s Collapse—It’s Underway, October, 10, 2019.  It happened many years ago in the 1990s, when Russian Prime Minister Evgeniy Primakov was invited to the White House to talk with the US. President. In the middle of his flight to Washington, he informed the world that he is going back to Moscow in disagreement with the actions of the American President. It was a typical trick of the former KGB Chairman to denigrate the President of America before the world.

I recalled another KGB demarche immediately, when Pelosi, pointing her finger at Trump, left the White House meeting. The spectacle was orchestrated and set up prior to the meeting by the Deep State and Pelosi has become a current active member and actor in the Theatrical show, a Queen of Fraud, a-la Primakov’s KGB—and both are the enemy of America and her people.  I am emphasizing the significance of the KGB, because it represents Russia today and I am using a term KGB meaning the entirety of Russian Intelligence Services. Keep in mind Primakov and Putin are devoted disciples of Andropov, and Andropov is a devoted disciple of Stalin…

The House Minority Leader is right: Enraged Pelosi caught ‘storming’ out of White House meeting… McCarthy: ‘Speaker tries to make everything political’ By WND Staff Published October 16, 2019. This similarity is an important sign of the Deep State working with, if not led by Putin and his KGB today. From the get go, for thirty years, I have warned you about drastic changes within the Democrat Party, having been infiltrated by the KGB. I have mentioned many times the death of Truman’s party and the birth of the America’s Socialist Party. I have given you my concept of the ongoing war against Western civilization and definition of it: Recruitment, Infiltration, Drugs and Assassinations. This war is going on against our American Republic. I called it an asymmetrical war or WW III.

Moreover, I’ve given you an example of Obama’s collaboration with Russia, particularly in Syria. Socialist Lies: From Stalin to the Clintons, Obamas, and Sanders,  Xlibris 2016.  I have emphasized the KGB’s significance for a reason; it is not only the face of contemporary Russia, it is a major force to change the world. The KGB man mentioned above left the crucial legacy—The Primakov Doctrine. Named after former foreign and Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, the Primakov doctrine posits that a unipolar world dominated by the United States is unacceptable to Russia and offers the main principle for Russian foreign policy: Russia should strive toward a multipolar world managed by a concert of major powers that can counterbalance U.S. unilateral power.

Don’t forget, that besides all mentioned other titles, Primakov was also the KGB Chairman. His Doctrine is the subject of a discussion by Eugene Rumer, a former national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia at the U.S. National Intelligence Council, and a senior fellow and the director of Carnegie’s Russia and Eurasia Program:

According to this vision, Russia should not try to compete with the United States single-handedly; rather, Moscow should seek to constrain the United States with the help of other major powers and to position itself as an indispensable actor with a vote and a veto, whose consent is necessary to settle any key issue facing the international community.

One of the key elements of the Primakov doctrine is its insistence on Russia’s primacy in the post-Soviet space and pursuit of closer integration among former Soviet republics with Russia in the lead. Opposition to NATO expansion and, more broadly, persistent efforts to weaken transatlantic institutions and the U.S.-led international order are another. Partnership with China is the third fundamental component. All three remain major pillars of Russian foreign policy today.

With Russia’s economy still reeling from the financial crisis of 1998 and its foreign policy arsenal weakened by a decade of turmoil, Primakov’s options were limited: he chose not to follow the U.S. lead. But as the Russian economy recovered and Russia’s foreign policy toolkit expanded, Russian policymakers’ options expanded too, marking a gradual transition from passive to increasingly active opposition. The Primakov (Not Gerasimov) Doctrine in Action June 5, 2019 by Eugene Rumer.

Russia’s Global Involvement

I agree with Mr. Rumer’s opinion, yet… Twenty years has passed since and time has revealed the real Russian strategic intent and ambitions to fight Western civilization worldwide at any cost: from Damask to Barcelona, from opposing Brexit to supporting the Mexican cartels, from Obama White House to the President of Ukraine—Putin’s design. This is the reason, I am writing about a new formation of “the Axis Evil” under Russian umbrella for last decade with similar patterns of behavior for all members. The existence of “the Axis of Evil” under Russian supervision is displaying its overwhelming war against our interests around the globe. The current event in Syria just connects the past and present by involving a member of NATO. Knowledge of the enemy is the best recipe for success. Please, read in this magazine my column Russia and Failed American Intelligence: The North Korea, Syria, Putin, Obama Connection May 20 2017

It is not only Syria today—it is a long-term KGB dream to destroy NATO. Following the career of Erdogan, I noticed two episodes of his Presidency that alarmed me— a member of NATO ties to Putin in manufacturing coup d’état in the best traditions of Stalinism in Turkey. The second is an orchestrated Muslim invasion into Europe by Turkey’s mafia in cahoots with the KGB. Knowing about his engagement with Putin, I don’t trust Erdogan and you will see Stalinist-type atrocities created by Turkey in Syria. The entire plan has been designed by Vladimir Putin. In term of Kurds, President Trump is right, there is a connection to Communists with the Kurds. Look at Cary Gindler information:

The PKK is a neo-Marxist party that professes a so-called Democratic Confederalism. Their main goal is to establish an independent state of Kurdistan, based on the ideas of Mao Zedong. Their primary weapon is terrorism. The ideology of the PKK is an explosive mixture of Maoism and Sharia. PKK branches (under different names and different levels of fanaticism) exist in all countries where the Kurds historically live—Turkey (HDP, HUDA-PAR, PKK), Syria (PYD / YPG, ENKS), Iran (DPIK, PJAK), and Iraq (KDP, PUK, KDSP, KIU). Breakdown: THE deafit of Kurdistan Maoists, October 15, 2019, NRN, by Gary Gindler.

I can add to this: “1946 – Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) holds its first congress in Mahabad. Within a few months, the “Mahabad Republic” collapses under attack from Iranian forces, and Mustafa Barzani flees to the Soviet Union… “To my knowledge, living in Russia, Mustafa Barsani has graduated from the Soviet Military Academy…

“1951 – A new generation of Kurdish nationalists revives the KDP. Mullah Mustafa Barzani is nominated president while in exile in the Soviet Union, but the real leader of the KDP is Ibrahim Ahmad, who favors close ties with the Iraqi Communist Party.” Iraqi Kurdistan Profile – Timeline

31 October 2017. The son of Mustafa Barsani, Masaud Barsani was President of the Kurdistan Region from 2005 to 2017. As you can see, in both accounts Russia is also in Kurdistan.

There is a recent debate about the Iraqi war—should we have invaded Iraq or not… I am not pretending to know the correct answer. Yet, I know this, our inept Intel and FBI missed. In my writing, a constant reference for the past thirty years was: Knowledge of Russia and its Intel is a Must!  Knowing Russia and its KGB, I found out the information about former Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. He was a citizen of Iran, when he was recruited by the KGB, a builder of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. His movement to Iraq was an assignment of the KGB and none in our Intel knew that and only by knowing that data can you find a competent answer to the Iraqi invasion. Knowledge of Russia and its KGB is a MUST! That sounds today in October 2019 as crucial as ever to answer many other strange events in America.

They Corrupt Everything They Touch

The NBA and LeBron-China stories did not surprise me; I am writing about an asymmetrical war against Western civilization for the last thirty years and sport is the center in targeting our culture. It is a multi-faceted war with multiple fronts run by Socialist mafia, which corrupts everything it touches by infiltrating and destroying it from within—a typical Soviet style Socialism in action in America. The vivid example of that is an irregular impeachment procedure not by the Constitutional requirement of House of Representative, but by the Dems’ Socialist mafia run by a Queen of Fraud and Adam Schiff Inc. and working hand in hand with Clinton’s political machine, which I called Clinton’s mafia.

Our Intelligence community and the FBI had been infiltrated, incapacitated and paralyzed. I don’t know what agency is vetting the Dems candidates for the 2020 U.S. presidency and whether they vetted at all in 2019. I found several individuals among them sponsored by the KGB (not Tulsi). With such a disabled FBI and top Intelligence apparatus we can have the third American Manchurian President. At the same time, Socialist mafia of the Intel community and FBI had banned my writings to prevent you from learning the Truth about them–a crime against me and my intellectual property. Alas, Tom Cotton is not the FBI Director…

The 2020 Election: The Last Stage of Socialist Revolution

We are on the last stages of Socialist Revolution in America, which will attempt to oust duly elected American President, Donald J. Trump. The crux of the matter is that the person who really led the revolution is Vladimir Putin, who has participated with Dems in this crime against the American Republic since the Obama Presidency…The Ukrainian scandal is the same Russian attempt to oust President Trump. In reality it is a predicate of Trump/Russia collusion, which started in 2014–2015 by Biden, assigned to Ukraine by Obama. It is possible that Trump aimed his words in conversation with the Ukraine President at uncovering the crime committed against the American Republic in Ukraine. Yet, a Queen of Fraud and Adam Schiff Inc. are eager to cover up the crime committed by the Dems against the American Republic.

The Trump impeachment will be a victory of Vladimir Putin, a mortal enemy of President Trump. The fraudulent impeachment is also aimed at deceiving the Republicans in the Senate and prompt them to vote for impeachment. The GOP is missing the elephant in the room: The Brain-Washing War on America’s Mind and Soul. We are dealing with the army of aggressive international Socialist mafia aimed at turning the Constitutional American Republic into the Union of Socialist American States. The Dems’   main reason for fighting for power is to cover-up the sinister crime of TREASON against the American Republic they have committed over several decades. This crime committed by the leadership of Dems’ Socialist mafia, and DNC should be a major topic in the November 2020 election.

President Trump is right—our democracy is at stake!

Just Following Orders? Why Extremism is a Choice [+Video]

/in , , , , , /by

Radicalization is something that has come to be viewed as an excuse for joining extremist groups and following orders to committing all sorts of  horrific acts. But except in the case of children, extremism is always a choice. Read why.

Terrorists use sophisticated tactics to lure recruits into their movement. They prey on psychological weaknesses, making the target feel special, powerful and marked out for a glorious destiny. The mind-control techniques they use are highly advanced and will work on many people.

None of that takes away from the moral culpability that anyone who becomes a terrorist holds for their actions.

Here’s why:

Mind Control is Really Mind Influence

There is a long standing principle in hypnosis that all hypnosis is really self-hypnosis. That is, you can’t hypnotize someone to do something that isn’t somewhere in their subconscious or something they want to do on some level.

All you can do is bring people into a relaxed state of mind where they are more susceptible to suggestion.

You can’t, for example, use mind control techniques to make gay people straight, despite the millions of dollars invested by Christian organizations to try and develop an effective method of doing so.

Extremists convince people to act in what the tell people are their best interests. They offer incentives so that doing what the movement wants gives the recruit some kind of payoff.

This becomes much easier when the extremist group can provide benefits to the target, for example, social camaraderie, a clear structure for how to live and a well defined mission to devote yourself to are all benefits of joining an extremist movement.

But the brainwashing can’t do more than heavily influence a person.

Giving Up Control Makes Life Easier, But It’s Still a Choice

When a person gives in to mind control in a cult, they make a decision to abdicate responsibility for making choices and turn it over to the cult leader or organizers.

When a person stops thinking for himself or herself and takes on the attitudes of the cult, even under pressure, he or she is making a choice.

True, that choice may be heavily influenced. Humans are highly adaptable creatures who long to fit in and be successful within the context of a group.

Extremists use many tactics to induce a sense of identification with the group and a shift in core beliefs. This may include extremely coercive tactics like isolation, sleep deprivation, pushing drugs on the recruit or even encouraging them to commit crimes to bind themselves to the new group.

Sleep deprivation and strict dietary control, in particular, can sap a person’s energy and make it extremely difficult for them to think clearly about what is going on.

But unless the person is being physically held against their will, they still have a choice to resist brainwashing techniques and remove themselves from the situation.

This is what makes education so critical. If people are taught to recognize the techniques and tactics which groups use in brainwashing, they can learn to walk away from those sorts of situations.

Steve Hassan’s “Bite Model” is a good resource for the main methods cults use to indoctrinate people.

Judges Don’t Accept Brainwashing as a Defense

“I’ve come to view what happened to me is a viral, memetic infection,” ex-Moonie Diane Benscoter said in a TED Talk. “For those of you who aren’t familiar with memetics, a meme has been defined as an idea that replicates in the human brain and moves from brain to brain like a virus, much like a virus. The way a virus works is — it can infect and do the most damage to someone who has a compromised immune system.”

In other words, an extremist group can take over your mind when your resistance is low.

However, if a person commits crimes while a member of an extremist group, it is important to note that courts do not accept claims of mind control as a defense.

In a classic case, in 1976 Patty Hearst, heiress to the Hearst media fortune, shocked America by joining the Symbionese Liberation Army after they kidnapped, tortured and brainwashed her. She participated in the group’s activities including bank robbing. Such was her commitment at the time that she did not run away from the group despite later having the opportunity to escape.

When she was finally caught, her lawyer attempted to argue she had been the victim of brainwashing. The jury did not accept it, and she was sentenced to 35 years imprisonment, later reduced to seven.

President Carter later commuted her sentence to two years.

More recently Smallville Actress Allison Mack pleaded guilty to helping NXIM cult leader Keith Raniere induct women into his sex cult. Among the allegations are that women were trafficked and branded.

Despite the brainwashing these women were subjected to, their crimes were still considered crimes and were treated as such by the courts.

In Sum, Difficult Situations Don’t Overturn Personal Responsibility 

A Dr. Phil episode featured a father who was a member of a cult who turned his 13-year old daughter over to the cult leader to rape as a bride within the church. Dr. Phil unpacks the situation and explains that there is no amount of brainwashing which could override his duty as father.

It is worth watching the clip:

Republican Women Get Active

/in , , , , /by

For a long time, the Democrats have been trying to intimidate women voters, just as they have done with minority groups. Their message is clear, “Only a fool would vote Republican; any woman with half a brain should vote Democrat.” They simply cannot imagine anyone, particularly women, supporting President Trump or Republican candidates. This has been going on for a long time and is indicative of their demeaning perspective of women. There is one problem, a lot of women are not buying it.

Republican women are tired of being pushed around and are fighting back, much to the consternation of the Democrats. Republican women are becoming active in various GOP clubs, including Trump “squads” designed to wave signs in support of the President and protest Democrats.

The passions of Republican women are high, the likes of which I haven’t seen before. To illustrate, I recently attended a formation meeting of the Pinellas Federation of Republican Women. Pinellas is the most densely populated county in Florida and part of the Tampa Bay area. In 2018, Pinellas fell to the Democrats by an incredibly slim margin. The women do not want to see this happen again and, as such, are getting organized and mobilized, to wit, they are joining new Republican groups, such as…

The National Federation of Republican Women was founded in 1938 and operates autonomously from state and county Republican operations. It is one of the largest grassroots political organizations in the country with thousands of active members. Several prominent Republican women have come up through the ranks of the Federation clubs, including U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, and numerous U.S. Senators and members of the House.

According to the Federation’s web site, their mission is…
“We empower women from all backgrounds in the political process and provide a forum for women to serve as leaders in the political, government, and civic arenas.

Our objectives are to:

  • Inform the public through political and legislative education, training and activity;
  •  recruit, train and elect Republican candidates;
  •  protect the integrity of our electoral process;
  •  promote the principles, objectives and policies of the Republican Party;
  •  unite and facilitate cooperation among the state and club organizations; and,
  •  increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government.”

They also perform philanthropic work to help others in their community.

In Florida, the Florida Federation of Republican Women was founded in 1950 and now has over 50 clubs in the state, including the new one here in Pinellas County.

I have met many women Republicans over the years. There is also a women’s club in Clearwater, Florida operating under the Pinellas County Republican banner, but this new Federated group in Pinellas appears to be more proactive. As mentioned, this group is passionate in their beliefs, particularly Religion, Capitalism, Family, Public Education, and defenders of the Constitution. They also resent the browbeating by the Democrats and want to actively push back.

Some of these women are active in Trump clubs and other local GOP clubs, but they hope to do more through the new Federated group.

As an observer, I found the energy of the Pinellas Republican women rather inspiring. This was not a group who wanted to do nothing more than bitch; instead, they are forming a game plan aimed at moving Pinellas County back into the red column. To me, this group is “Women Power” in action. As I said, their passions were expressed and much louder than the average men’s political group. I wish them much success.

BTW, men can join the Federation, but make no mistake, this is a show run by the women.

As an aside, the new Pinellas Federated group will be meeting on the second Thursday of the month. For more information or to join, contact the Chapter President, Julie Vayne at jrvayne@gmail.com .

See what happens when you rile the ladies. As one Republican woman explained to me, “I see what the Democrats are wanting to do to my country and they can all go to hell.”

Keep the Faith!

Site Unseen: DOJ Crushes Global Porn Network

“Do not upload adult porn.” That was the stomach-turning warning from one of the most heinous child pornography sites on the dark web. Thanks to the Department of Justice, that horrible corner of cyberspace was just the target of an international takedown — a victory months in the making.

“According to the indictment we’re unsealing today,” U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jessie Liu announced Wednesday, “the site hosted more than a quarter million videos, and users downloaded more than one million files.” Files, she explained that included children, toddlers, and even infants in “sexually explicit conduct.” “As a parent,” Liu said, “this horrifies me. And it should horrify everyone.”

Working with law enforcement in South Korea, the U.K. and Germany, U.S. officials have arrested 337 people connected to the ring — including 53 pedophiles in America. “The sexual exploitation of children,” Liu insisted, “is one of the worst forms of evil imaginable. Indeed, these crimes are so heinous, they are difficult even to speak about… Our message for those who produce, distribute, and receive child pornography is clear: You may try to hide behind technology, but we will find you, and we will arrest and prosecute you.”

Thanks to the DOJ’s hard work, 23 kids were rescued from their abusers in countries from Spain to England. Now, because of the U.S.’s involvement, the leader of the world’s “largest dark web child porn marketplace” — Jong Woo Son — can finally be held accountable.

Unfortunately, liberals are too busy shaming Attorney General William Barr’s faith to stop and consider all he’s doing in defense of children. Led by leaders like him, America is saving hundreds of tiny victims from the horrors and violence of trafficking. Maybe if we had more religion, as Barr said, there wouldn’t be a need for crusades like DOJ’s. Maybe if there were more “moral education,” fewer people would fall into the trap of sexual addiction. In the meantime, we can all be grateful that there is a man at the helm who takes the world’s problems seriously — and who understands that the real solution is more of God, not less.

Beth Van Duyne: A Principled Public Servant

/in , , , , /by

Time and again in every election we see politicians promise everything, and once elected deliver very little or nothing. Beth Van Duyne is a welcome exception and her past record clearly proves it.

A person of impeccable integrity, Beth has always remained loyal to the values and wishes of her constituents and has not compromised them on the altar of political expediency so widely practiced by self-promoting politicians. A devoted mother beaming with energy and the talent to get things done, Beth is indeed the kind of person the US Congress desperately needs.

Under Beth’s leadership as a Mayor of Irving, TX, the city became one of the best and safest towns in the great state of Texas. Beth Van Duyne’s achievements attracted the attention of President Trump’s administration and accepted to serve, this time, at the national level in the Department of Housing and Urban Development Office in Fort Worth.

City of Irving Islamic Tribunal

Van Duyne’s reputation soared outside her city since February 2015, when she became aware that some Muslims intended to create a Sharia court in Irving, TX. To follow with her oath of office, she wanted to make sure if in fact, these stories were accurate.

Van Duyne  went directly to the source, the Islamictribunal.org website. What she noticed was shocking. The imams at the website referred to themselves as “attorneys” and “judges” even though none of them were lawyers or practice law in the State of Texas. She noted a phone number for legal services. There was also a disclaimer at the bottom that read:

“Don’t send us any confidential material, before an attorney client relationship has been established.”

They were even charging for their services. They listed divorce cases, product liability, business, and real estate litigations as their legal specialties.  Mayor Van Duyne wanted to know why anyone would subject themselves to Sharia law in the United States while everyone is protected under the U.S. Constitution! And she repeatedly noted, her biggest concern was for women were treated differently than men under Sharia law, put at a great disadvantage, and denied basic rights we are all guaranteed.

Despite a great deal of push back and non-stop attacks from the leftist media in Texas, Beth Van Duyne, a woman of great courage managed to push the envelope off the table on Sharia’s implementation in her own U.S. city: Irving, Texas. The Mayor wasn’t aware of the extent of Sharia practiced by the Islamic Tribunal. So, she asked lawmakers at the Texas Homeland Security Forum to investigate the legality of this group in North Texas.

In a direct and powerful response, she refuted that it was authorized or approved by her office. The Islamic Tribunal was the first of its kind in the nation. Its members had begun deciding “non-criminal” cases, even though none of the tribunal members was an attorney. On her Facebook page, the mayor wrote:

“Sharia Law Court was NOT approved or enacted by the City of Irving. Recently, there have been rumors suggesting that the City of Irving has somehow condoned, approved or enacted the implementation of a Sharia Law Court in our City. Let me be clear, neither the City of Irving, our elected officials or city staff have anything to do with the decision of the mosque that has been identified as starting a Sharia Court.”

In the hope that this issue would be put to rest, the Irving City Council, headed by Mayor Van Duyne, supported a bill in Texas Legislature, HB 562, to reaffirm people would be protected from the use of foreign laws. If passed, it prohibits Texas judges or justices the use of any foreign law in any cases where there was a possibility that a person could lose his or her Constitutional rights.

Being fully prepared for the backlash from the left-wing media, the resolution was crafted without using the words, “Sharia law,” “Sharia,” “Muslim,” “Islamic,” or “religion.” It simply stated the obvious, that the United States has at the tip of its legal pyramid the Constitution, and under it a substantial body of federal, state, local laws, ordinances, resolutions, and huge volumes of case law that together have served us well since the ratification of the Constitution. “This bill does not mention, at all, Muslim, sharia law, Islam, even religion,” said Van Duyne. “It specifically talks about foreign laws not taking precedence over U.S. laws and those in the State of Texas.”

When the City of Irving came out with this resolution, they invited Muslim imams to come and support it. “When we had met them in private, we asked the members of the mosque if they would support our American laws and if they would support and follow our Texas State Statutes, and they told me in that private meeting, yes, they would,” stated Mayor Van Duyne. The Mayor sent them the Bill, but not only did she not hear back from them, but when she did, a protest group went into the town hall to protest and object to it.

Muslim groups did their level best to have the resolution fail. Fortunately, the Mayor held a hair’s-breath margin when the resolution passed by a five to four vote majority.

The Texas Senate passed a bill that year, forbidding the implementation of any foreign laws, which would adversely affect any person’s Constitutional rights. Senator Donna Campbell said that her bill doesn’t mention Sharia law at all, only guarantees that no law from “foreign courts” would be used to override American law in settling civil matters according to TheNewAmerican.com. Unfortunately, the Bill failed to pass in the House.

On that day, Mayor Beth Van Duyne stood tall and strong to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States for you, me and all Americans.

The Tarrant County, the State of Texas and the US Congress desperately need Beth Van Duyne, an effective leader who fights for American values.
