BIG BROTHER WATCH: Who’s Spying on You?

Espionage, spying or intelligence gathering: The act of obtaining secret or confidential information from non-disclosed sources or divulging of the same without the permission of the holder of the information for a tangible benefit.

Dystopian: A society where there is great suffering or injustice.


American lawyer, columnist, blogger and author Glenn Greenwald wrote,

The way things are supposed to work is that we’re supposed to know virtually everything about what they [the government] do: that’s why they’re called public servants. They’re supposed to know virtually nothing about what we do: that’s why we’re called private individuals.

Who is spying on us private individuals? Who is getting confidential information on private individuals and then using that information for a tangible monetary, political or social benefit?

This is the first column in an ongoing series called Big Brother Watch. 

In the dystopian novel 1984, George Orwell warned:

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”

Sadly, America has now become a dystopian nation because our public servants are now authorized to spy on us private individuals.

On February 12th, 2022 in an article titled “REPORT: CIA Secretly Collects Bulk Data on Americans1600 Daily reported:

The CIA has a secret database that includes information collected about Americans per a partially declassified letter revealed late Thursday.

According to NBC News:

There have long been concerns about what information the intelligence community collects domestically, driven in part by previous violations of Americans’ civil liberties. The CIA and National Security Agency have a foreign mission and are generally barred from investigating Americans or U.S. businesses. But the spy agencies’ sprawling collection of foreign communications often snares Americans’ messages and data incidentally.

Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Martin Heinrich of New Mexico sent a letter to top intelligence officials calling for more details about the program to be declassified. Large parts of the letter, which was sent in April 2021 and declassified Thursday, and documents released by the CIA were blacked out. Wyden and Heinrich said the program operated “outside the statutory framework that Congress and the public believe govern this collection.”

While neither the agency nor lawmakers would disclose specifics about the data, the senators alleged the CIA had long hidden details about the program from the public and Congress.

Public Officials Spying on Private Individuals

We are now in a period of time when information on private individuals is being monitored by public officials. Even some members of Congress, who are public servants, are being monitored by other public servants for nefarious reasons.

In January 24th, 2022 a Politico article titled “Playbook PM: ‘Dangerously close … to spying on members of Congress’” Ryan Lizza wrote,

A big scoop from Betsy Woodruff Swan and Daniel Lippman: “Capitol Police examines backgrounds, social media feeds of some who meet with lawmakers”:

After the Jan. 6 insurrection, the Capitol Police’s intelligence unit quietly started scrutinizing the backgrounds of people who meet with lawmakers, according to three people familiar with the matter.

POLITICO also viewed written communications describing the new approach, part of a host of changes that the department implemented after the Capitol attack. Examining the social media feeds of people who aren’t suspected of crimes, however, is a controversial move for law enforcement and intelligence officials given the civil liberties concerns it raises.

Hugo Award and John W. Campbell Memorial Award winning novelist Philip K. Dick wrote:

There will come a time when it isn’t ‘They’re spying on me through my phone’ anymore. Eventually, it will be ‘My phone is spying on me’.

The Bottom Line

The Department of Homeland Security has issued guidance to spy on and possibly arrest those who spread mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) as terrorists. This is first time in our history that the Executive Branch, i.e. public officials, have authorized spying on we the people, i.e. private individuals.

In a February 10, 2022 Breitbart article titled “Biden’s DHS Brands Free Speech ‘Terrorism Threat’ to U.S. — ‘Welcome to Your Communist Future’Joshua Klein wrote:

The bulletin, issued on Monday [February 7th, 2022] by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), addressed the “Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland.”

In it, the country is described as being in a “heightened threat environment” due to factors such as online content featuring “false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors.”

The “threat actors” are accused of seeking to “exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest,” which could potentially lead to acts of violence.

[ … ]

As a result, DHS and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are “sharing information and intelligence with our partners across every level of government and in the private sector” to combat the aforementioned threats.

The bulletin recommends that citizens report any “potential threats” and keep safe online by maintaining the “digital and media literacy” needed to “recognize and build resilience to false or misleading narratives.”

We were astounded when a public official, Conservative State Representative for Ohio’s 63rd district and Air Force Veteran Mike Loychik, sent out this tweet:

Who are the enemies of the state today? Today the “enemies of the state” are: the 79 million who voted for Trump in 2020, the unvaccinated, doctors who warn about the ill effects of getting jabbed, private citizens who hold public demonstrations against the government, e.g. the January 6th peaceful protest, those businesses and individuals who want the Covid mandates to end, writers, journalists and bloggers who tell the truth by exposing what Biden and his administration are doing and finally, members of the opposition Republican Party like American politician, businesswoman and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green.

Dr. Naomi Wolf in an article “On the Subtlety of Monsters” warned:

I am seeking to explain in this series of essays, how otherwise nice people — and indeed Western people, who grew up with post-Enlightenment norms about human rights and the rule of law — can be doing evil now, with whole hearts.

[ … ]

Let me just summarize where we are right now in America, as well as in the West, in case you have gotten too used to it to see it clearly. I warned in The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, that democracies usually do not die with a cinematic scene of goose-stepping Brownshirts suddenly in the streets. They tend to die, rather, just as Elon described — incrementally, day by day, collapsing grotesquely in some areas of society and in regards to some institutions, even as other aspects of society and other institutions look and feel, at least superficially, exactly the same as they did before.

Today evil has come to America in the form of subtle public service monsters. These monsters did not all come here from without, e.g. Illan Omar, but are home grown in the form of Biden, Schumer, Pelosi and the Democrat Party.

It is perhaps time that member of Antifa look into their collectivist mirrors and see the monsters that they have helped create.

As we have said before, the end is not near, it is here now.

Company Contrast: Valentine’s Shopping Guide

February is upon us once again and that means shopping for that special someone in your life. Although it can feel overwhelming to find just the right gift, don’t let the moral  weight on your conscience hinder you from making an educated choice on where to shop this year. Let us take the guesswork out of the equation for you as we compare companies for flowers, jewelry and candy this Valentines Day season!

Flowers

The two most popular flower delivery companies are 1-800-flowers and ProFlowers (owned by FTD). Taking a look at 1-800-flowers (2.49), we came across a mixed batch of information. Leaning left, we find that since 2007, the company has directed nearly $200,000 in monetary funds and in-kind donations to support the work of GLAAD – the leading LGBTQ+ media advocacy organization (source). They do, however, offer discounts for military and service members through Veterans Advantage. They also demonstrate reasonably environmentally conscious actions by supporting responsible sourcing and reforestation practices and by  participating in various recycling programs. .

Pro Flowers (3.00) (owned by FTD) was also researched but very little information was available concerning their philanthropic support and monetary donations and as such, can only be expressed as a neutral organization until more information is made available.

An alternative to these two organizations is Bloomsy Box who supports a “farm-to-table” style of service while also advocating and partnering with over 48 family farms and small businesses. By working with specific certified farms they ensure that toxic chemicals are used and by eliminating the middleman mentality that typically exists in the flower business, they are able to reduce waste. To see what they have to offer, click here.

If you are interested in a directory of Veteran Owned florists while shopping locally, VeteranOwnedBusiness.com allows you to search for specific businesses for a variety of your shopping needs all while supporting Veterans! Click here to see what the website has to offer for florists in your area:

Jewelry

Signet Jewelers Limited (1.57– the parent company to big names like Kay Jewelers (3.00), Zales (3.00) and Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry (3.00) is a popular choice when it comes to jewelry shopping. It is not, however, a great choice if you want your retail support to go to organizations that support a conservative mindset. Just a few of the actions that caused us concern are listed below:

Included in their 2020 Sustainability Report:

  • Signet Jewelers Limited openly states the incorporation of “Unconscious Bias” training for all team members.
  • Signet Jewelers Limited discloses $100,000  donation to Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) organization to raise awareness and continue to support LGBTQ+ rights and activism.
  • Signet Jewelers Limited discloses $100,000 donation to NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
  • Signet Jewelers becomes a member of the Human Rights Campaign’s business coalition for the Equality Act – a national sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) accommodation mandate that would undermine 1st Amendment protections for religious liberty.
  •  Signet enhanced and expanded health-plan benefits for same sex domestic partners/spouses and expanded the parental leave policy to include parental leave for all genders.
  • In 2020, Signet donated $53,000 to United Way of Summit County as part of an annual giving campaign. Since 1997, Signet has donated more than $3.23 million from annual team member giving campaigns. United Way of Summit County supports Planned Parenthood through monetary donations typically ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per year.

Of course we were able to locate a few good qualities from Signet. For example, they “led a community outreach drive to collect donations in partnership with Valor Home -, a housing program of Family & Community Services that offers supportive, therapeutic housing for homeless and at-risk veterans. Team members raised more than $2,000 and filled two truckloads of donated emergency supplies, which included winter coats, bed pillows, comforters, sheets, gas and grocery cards, and toiletry items.” Their subsidiary, Zales does offer a 10% discount to active duty military and veteran service members. But when comparing the pros with the cons, it is easy to say which way this large company tends to lean.

Another frequently used jewelry retailer is Tiffany & Co. (2.57) (owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. But, unfortunately, they aren’t much better when it comes to moral and ethical high ground.

To start, Tiffany & Co. scored a 100 on the 2021 Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index which is used as a national benchmarking tool on corporate policies, practices and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees. Just like Signet, Tiffany & Co. is also a member of the HRC’s business coalition for the Equality Act. To take it a step further, Alessandro Bogliolo was a signatory to the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion pledge, which includes the incorporation of mandatory unconscious bias training for employees, which is linked to critical Race Theory (CRT).

Since 2000, the Tiffany and CO Foundation has awarded over $90 million in grants, with $4-$6 million in average annual grantmaking over the past several years seeking to preserve the world’s most treasured seascapes and landscapes. However, they do take a strong stand to support the Paris Climate agreement in their Sustainability statement  and by being a signatory of the We Are Still in Pledge. They do offer 10% to military and service members but I would hardly consider that a reason to have my business – especially considering the various other companies that offer the same, if not better, discount.

There are other jewelry options out there with ethically sourced diamonds and materials that are made in the U.S.A. and provide military discounts like Wonder Jewelers, Qalo and Blue Nile Jewelry. But if you want to take it a step further why not shop with those that are also Veteran owned that supports Veterans in need?

Sword & Plough (3.14is veteran owned or partially staffed by veterans. Owned by two sisters, one of which was an U.S. Army Captain who served in Afghanistan, this patriotic duo donates 10% of profits or 2% of revenue (whichever is greater) to veteran nonprofit organizations such as Got your 6, Team Red, White & Blue, Team rubicon and Pets for Vets. They also donated more than $45,000 worth of Sword & Plough products to veteran organizations and continue to partner with other veteran owned companies. They boast a conservative and valiant effort to reduce waste and minimize their carbon footprint by incorporating thousands of pounds of repurposed military surplus materials in our product line, manufacturing exclusively in the United States, and using recycled materials in our packaging. And as if you needed more of a reason to give them your business – they make more than just jewelry, offering handbags and other items for those who may not be big into jewelry. For more on Sword & Plough visit their website here.

Brass & Unity is another option if you are still looking for something a little different in the bling department. Also owned by a U.S. Veteran and Afghanistan deployed survivor, B&U donates 20% of net profits to help rehabilitate soldiers & First Responders.These funds go directly to mental health programs, prosthetic limbs, therapy/rehab programs, food/shelter/clothing for homeless Veterans, and many more – including help for their families. More on Brass & Unity can be found here.

Chocolates

Last, but definitely not least is my favorite part of Valentine’s Day – chocolate! Don’t bother with MARS or Hersheys this year – they both score poorly in most of our focus areas. You may be tempted to go looking for other frequently purchased brands Like Godiva and Lindt but let’s take a closer look just to be sure.

Godiva (3.00), owned by Turkish company Ulker, supports the Paris Climate Agreement. They have taken an active role in sustainability by  supporting the “A Breath for the Future” campaign of the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture & Forestry since 2019. In 2020, Ulker planted 31,000 trees in total, throughout Turkey and in the last six years, their water savings (through various water management practices) amounted to 360,000 tons – equivalent to the daily water consumption of approximately 2.5 million people. Of course, being a foreign based company, there is not much information outside of environmental efforts that is pertinent to those of us here in the United States.

Owned by Lindt & Sprüngli (3.00), we look at two other very popular candy companies – Russel Stover Okay (3.00) and Ghirardelli (3.00). Based out of Switzerland, but with headquarters here in the U.S. as well, Lindt also expresses support for the Paris Climate Agreement in their 2020 Sustainability Report, while still supporting a strong and ethical approach to sustainability, such as reforestation, conservative water management techniques and reducing C02 emissions. But being a company based outside of the U.S. makes it difficult to assess where they would stand on American issues.

For this section I have two fantastic suggestions for sweets made in the U.S.A. and Veteran owned.

Firstly, Extra Ordinary Delights Fudge , which is owned by Aaron Hale – a 14 year veteran, military chef and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (E.O.D) team leader. In December of 2011, after a traumatic injury from an unseen IED while serving in Afghanistan, Aaron returned home blind. But with a resilient heart and motivation to do it all, Aaron and his wife started EOD Fudge and have since been featured on multiple networks such as FOX Business and ESPN. To see what amazing treats they offer such as fudge, candy apples and even pies, click here.

Second, we have Lift Chocolate where “Candy Man” owner and Chocolatier Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Busch offers all-natural, handmade gourmet chocolate treats. Brandon served as a heavy-lift helicopter pilot in the United States Marine Corps and two combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and continues to serve as a Forward Air Controller in the Marine Corps Reserve. To see Lift Chocolates exclusive Valentine’s Day lineup, click here.

I hope this article has provided you with several options to consider this Valentine’s season. If there are other brands you are considering, we urge you to search our scores before you venture out for that special something. Every little bit counts to making conscious choices for the moral and ethical support of our American standards.

‘We Can’t Expect Them To Tell Us How To Live’: NYT Writer Questions ‘Follow The Science’ Guidance

David Leonhardt, a writer for The New York Times (NYT), questioned some of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) guidance in a Friday article amid a rollback of several coronavirus restrictions across the country.

Leonhardt opens his piece by noting how the CDC warns against medium-rare hamburgers because they were “undercooked” and therefore could pose a threat. He also notes how eating raw cookie dough is ill-advised among, other apparently common things.

“If you happen to be somebody who engages in any of these risky activities, I have some bad news for you this morning: You apparently do not believe in following the science,” Leonhardt wrote.

Leonhardt said the “instinct” to follow the science “is both understandable and profoundly decent” especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, “but it has led to a widespread misunderstanding.”

“Many people have come to believe that expert opinion is a unitary, omniscient force. That’s the assumption behind the phrases ‘follow the science’ and ‘what the science says.’ It imagines science almost as a god -Science- who could solve our dilemmas if we only listened.”

Leonhardt said individuals are forced to make trade-offs about science, pointing to COVID-19 restrictions as an example.

“Covid restrictions – mask mandates, extended quarantines, restrictions on gatherings, school closure during outbreaks – can both slow the virus’s spread and have harmful side effects. These restrictions can reduce serious Covid illness and death among the immunocompromised, elderly and unvaccinated. They can also lead to mental-health problems, lost learning for children, child-care hardships for lower-income families, and isolation and frustration that have fueled suicides, drug overdoses and violent crime.”

Leonhardt noted how the CDC sometimes can “miss the big picture,” pointing to the CDC’s reluctance to urge mask use and slowness “to admit that outdoor masking has little benefit.”

“As you think about your own Covid views, I encourage you to remember that C.D.C. officials and other scientists cannot make these dilemmas go away,” Leonhardt wrote. “They can provide deep expertise and vital perspective. They are also fallible and have their own biases.”

Democratic-led states, like New Jersey, New York, Delaware, and Connecticut, lifted their mask requirements recently, but President Joe Bidevoiced disagreement with the decisions.

“It’s hard to say whether they’re wrong, here’s the science saying now that masks work, masks make a difference,” Biden said. “And there’s a relationship, I think there’s only one governor drawing back immediately and most of them are somewhere in the end of February, March, April. They’re set[ting] a time limit and I assume it has something to do with whether the Omicron variant continues to dive in fewer and fewer cases.”

“I committed that I would follow the science,” Biden continued. “And the science as put forward by the CDC and the federal people and I think it’s probably premature but it’s a tough call.”

The CDC recommends individuals wear a mask indoors regardless of their vaccination status.

DHS Says COVID Misinformation Is Inspiring Terrorism, But It Won’t Provide Any Evidence

The COVID Vax Bioweapon

I believe that there was a bioweapon unleashed on the world, via a series of events that have taken place over the last 2 years.  But the bioweapon is not a virus, it is the product that was sold to us as the remedy to the so-called pandemic.  To argue my position on this matter I am going to start with the fact that the term pandemic has been used loosely by government and media to instill fear among the masses.  The definition of pandemic was actually changed back in 2009 by the WHO when we had that pesky swine flu.  The new definition doesn’t seem to differ much from the definition of epidemic.  The term pandemic as defined by The American Heritage Dictionary:

Pandemic; păn-dĕm′ĭk

adjective

  1. Widespread; general.
  2. Epidemic over a wide geographic area and affecting a large proportion of the population.
  3. Affecting a whole people or a number of countries; everywhere epidemic.

Now compare to the definition of epidemic from the same source:

Epidemic; ĕp″ĭ-dĕm′ĭk

adjective

  1. Spreading rapidly and extensively by infection and affecting many individuals in an area or a population at the same time.
  2. Widely prevalent.
  3. Common to, or affecting at the same time, a large number in a community; — applied to a disease which, spreading widely, attacks many persons at the same time; See endemic.

Prior to 2009, Pandemic was defined by the WHO as, “An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity, resulting in several, simultaneous epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness.”

The term epidemic has remained the same, which seems to suggest that someone wanted to use the terms pandemic and epidemic interchangeably,probably to make it appropriate to fit the narrative of the day.

The second point I want to illustrate is the use of the word vaccine.  This definition has been changed by the CDC twice in the last two years.  The COVID jabs are in reality, a form of gene therapy.  An experimental gene therapy, as we know that the shots were given for the longest time under EUA.  The use of the word vaccine here is an attempt to take advantage of the immunity from liability that has been recognized for Bid Pharma regarding the development of vaccines since 1986, when congress acted to implement this sweetheart deal.   Is this push to use “vaccine” an admission that they were expecting severe injury and death from the get go?

Now we will address deaths that were attributed to COVID.  These “COVID deaths” were mostly made up of people that died from other conditions, or comorbidities, within a 28 day window prior to their death.  They wanted us to believe that there was massive, widespread death, globally, but the criteria wreak of ambiguity to the point where manipulation of data was a certainty as they had to promote hysteria so that the “vaccine” was profitable beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.  In Fall of 2020, the CDC released data revealing only 6% of COVID deaths resulted from COVID alone, in the absence of any other health problems.    The remaining 94% of these deaths attributed to COVID occurred in patients with 2.6 additional conditions/causes per death.  This means that 164,280 of the deaths up to this point (Fall 2020) occurred in patients suffering from other potentially fatal illnesses while only 9,857 were from COVID alone.  These are people that died in the hospital, and just happened to test positive upon their arrival, even though it was not the reason why they were there.  The best way to interpret this is that these people died with COVID, not of COVID.

On to the mask controversy, Dr. James Meehan, an ophthalmologist that went to school at the University of Oklahoma and has a practice in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has been very vocal about this subject and has received a lot of attention for speaking out, not all positive as one could expect.   Dr. Meehan has pointed out that new research has shown that cloth masks may be increasing the aerosolization of the SARSCov2 virus into the environment, causing an increase in the transmission of the disease.  He also references an increase in cases of facial rash, fungal and bacterial infections including bacterial pneumonia since this mask circus began back in 2020.  Hold that thought and let’s jump back to the early 20th century during the Spanish Flu outbreak, where they implemented mask mandates just like today.  These mandates were met with public resistance even back then.  Many pictures from this era show groups of people sporting masks.  Ok stay with me here, the National Institute of Health (NIH) acknowledges on their own .gov website, that most deaths occurring during this time of the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918, were a result of bacterial pneumonia.

And to conclude I want to reference the average age of recorded COVID deaths compared to the average age of those that died during the Spanish Flu outbreak and how these numbers fit into the big picture.   The average age of recorded COVID deaths is 80 + years.  The average age of death for people in the midst of Spanish Flu was in the late 20’s.  Keep in mind that the average age of death for COVID patients here actually surpasses that of the current average life expectancy.

Take all of this information that I have laid out here and see the blatant deception by the so-called experts, and their willingness to double down on their inconsistency and obvious lies and you can see that COVID was only the vehicle to drive public fear and that “the virus” was a massive Psyops, perpetrated on the American people by the government and the corrupt healthcare industry.

One can see how important it was to make people afraid of the virus, so that they would line up for the real bioweapon, the COVID death jabs, incorrectly labeled vaccines to provide legal protection for big pharma when we reached the point we are at now. 

Deaths skyrocketed in 2021 after the jabs were introduced, some died of acute reactions like anaphylaxis while others will have other complications over the long term, such as autoimmune disease and general weakening of the immune system, blood clots, heart attacks, neurological symptoms, and let’s not forget a substantial increase in cancer cases as we have heard recently from Dr. Ryan Cole, a pathologist and founder of Cole Diagnostics.  Dr. Cole says, “In the laboratory, I’m seeing an uptick in cancers that I shouldn’t be seeing at rates I shouldn’t be seeing in age groups I shouldn’t be seeing,” Cole told The Epoch Times.  A major Swedish study suggests that the spike protein your body starts making after the introduction of these jabs, inhibits our body’s ability to repair DNA and has been linked to cancer cases.   The study cites that,

“the SARS–CoV–2 spike protein significantly inhibits DNA damage repair, which is required for effective V(D)J recombination in adaptive immunity.”

All of this info out there and there are still people that are displaying a level of cognitive dissonance that may prove fatal. The sad part of this whole thing, is that people have volunteered to have this bio weapon injected into their body because they were psychologically conditioned to feel that getting the jabs was a necessity for them to survive. This is one of the most consequential atrocities that has ever been unleashed on mankind. It has damaged our children, our collective mental health, and society as a whole. All perpetrated by global elites to hasten the implementation of The Great Reset. History will hopefully show that the experts led the masses to slaughter here, and I still hope that there is some recourse that can be taken by the jabbed to rectify the damage that has been done to them. The Great Awakening continues to gain steam.

Watch DeSantis on Mask Mandates: ‘The Science Didn’t Change —The Political Science Changed’

Spot on! DeSantis is awesome. What he would do to Biden or Harris on the debate stage. It would not be pretty.

WATCH DeSANTIS DESTROY DEMS ON MASKS: ‘The Science Didn’t Change —The Political Science Changed’

By The First, February 10, 2022

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) took a moment out from talking infrastructure improvements to discuss the latest trend of blue states lifting mask mandates.

“These kids are so much happier being able to go to school without having to wear masks for 8 hours a day. Remember this: the medical science didn’t change, the political science changed.”

“They feel the heat. They know voters are tired of perpetual lockdown policies…they know they’re fixing to get whooped at the polls.”

DeSantis shared his message on Twitter:

“The medical science on forced masking children didn’t change — the political science did. In Florida, we never imposed state mask mandates, and we liberated children and parents from the local authorities that did. We hope every jurisdiction will follow suit.”

DHS: American Thought Police

The transition from tracking terrorism to chasing thought crime has a major advantage. It exonerates U.S. counterterrorism officials from the meddlesome job of catching actual terrorists.

The Department of Homeland Security, which under the Biden Administration routinely lets watch-listed terrorists cross the southern border unmolested, and which approved entry to the United States for Colleyville Synagogue hostage-taker Malik Faisal Akram despite his being known to British authorities as a terror risk, has taken upon its broad bureaucratic shoulders an even more challenging job.

Stopping the flow of MDM.

MDM isn’t the latest flavor of fentanyl, produced by the Communist Chinese regime for sale to Mexican drug cartels, and now the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 to 45. No, MDM stands for mis- dis- and mal-information, the latest government acronym from which you must be protected.

DHS’ latest “Summary of Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland,” released Monday, has much to say about the dangers of American minds being polluted with MDM, and curiously little to say about actual terror threats.

MDM is a term developed by the DHS Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to replace the old-fashioned phrase “foreign influence.” Now let us caveat that the U.S. government does indeed have a responsibility to monitor and to identify foreign influence operations. This was the remit of the Reagan-era Active Measures Working Group, which worked tirelessly to identify Soviet lies being spread to undermine the United States’ global standing in the world, and then countered them with the truth.

But under the latest iteration, DHS is no longer concerned solely with enemy lies spread abroad, but increasingly with information spread by “domestic threat actors” (read: American citizens). And no longer are they merely concerned with disinformation, false material spread to manipulate an opponent, but with misinformation, which DHS considers information that is false but not intended to cause harm, and “mal-information,” which means information which is true but the government considers harmful anyway.

This raises the question of who put a government intelligence and law enforcement agency in the position of declaring not only what is true or false but also determining whether information is good or harmful for consumption by free citizens. Of course, no law prohibits American citizens of spreading information of any kind, whether true or false.

Ironically, the DHS MDM effort itself is a result of disinformation, created in the tumult of the Russian collusion hoax, in response to lunatic assertions that the Russian government had somehow thrown the 2016 election to Donald Trump through the use of a handful of Facebook ads.

The Department of Homeland Security certainly has no remit to determine what information its bureaucrats regard as “harmful” for American ears to hear.

And why are government efforts to counter information appearing in what is supposed to be a bulletin aimed at countering terrorism?

U.S. intelligence increasingly has asserted that the cause of terrorism isn’t groups or individuals seeking to achieve identifiable political ends through criminal violence and intimidation (which is, by the way, the legal definition of terrorism). Rather, U.S. counterterrorism gurus insist that terrorism springs fully formed from mis-, dis-, or mal-information adrift in cyberspace, like Athena from the forehead of Zeus.

They did not arrive at this conclusion all at once, but rather over a period of two decades during the Global War on Terrorism, which over the years became defined as domestic not global, a social problem not a war, and ultimately not about terrorism at all.

The transition from terrorism to chasing thought crime has a major advantage. It exonerates U.S. counterterrorism officials from the meddlesome job of catching actual terrorists. For years the U.S. government’s security apparatus insisted that with a little bit more money, and ever more constant surveillance, they could nip the terrorism problem in the bud. But more surveillance brought only more stories of terrorists that the government knew about in advance, yet still failed to stop, which was embarrassing to say the least.

If literally anyone sufficiently marinated in ideas the government doesn’t like might turn out to be a terrorist, how can federal law enforcement be held responsible for dropping the ball on any specific plot? Isn’t policing the ideas themselves a better use of the government’s time and money?

Covering thought policing under the rubric of counterterrorism has another advantage too. It changes the discussion from whether a given idea is true or false, to whether it is safe or dangerous. Have concerns about election integrity, COVID-19 mandates, or school boards? You better shut up; such ideas are inspiring to terrorists.

And of course, the DHS bulletin provides absolutely no evidence or citation to affirm its claims regarding what motivates these “extremists.” One is left only with vague assertion, backed by claims of secret “intelligence,” which ought not be satisfying to any serious interlocutor.

But it is certainly curious that, according to Homeland Security, terrorists always seem to be most interested in topics on which Joe Biden is polling poorly, and on which his administration faces growing criticism from the broader American electorate.

INFLATION EXPLODES: Consumer Prices Skyrockets 7.5% Higher, Worst Inflation in 40 Years

After they stole the election, the Democrats declared asymmetric war on the American people. They are killing us. literally and figuratively.

So 39 percent of Americans approve of this? As well as skyrocketing crime, and a chaotic Southern boarder, and mask mandates, and the stability of the world in a freefall. Bull S***! Millions of Americans voted against President Trump, because the corrupt media elites told them to do so. Today, millions of Americans are paying the price. Literally.

Consumer Prices Explode 7.5% Higher, Worst Inflation in 40 Years

By Breitbart, February 10, 2022

U.S. consumer prices jumped by the most in nearly four decades as the new year started, sapping the savings of American families, diminishing the purchasing power of worker paychecks, and putting pressure on the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates beginning in March.

The consumer price index climbed 0.6 percent from a month before, the Department of Labor said Thursday. Compared with January of last year, consumer prices are up 7.5 percent.

Economists had expected prices to rise 0.4 percent on a monthly basis and 7.2 percent above a year ago’s prices.

In December, consumer prices rose 0.6 percent compared with November. For the full year, prices were up seven percent in 2021, the worst annual inflation since 1982.

Excluding the volatile food and energy components, so-called core prices rose by 0.6 percent. The measure soared six percent from a year earlier. Both exceeded economist estimates.

Although many economists and anti-Trump journalists claimed President Donald Trump’s tariffs would raise prices, consumer prices remained low throughout his administration. Trump’s tariffs turned out not to be taxes on consumers. Instead, they were absorbed by Chinese producers and exporters and the profit margins of most large U.S. companies.

Inflation only began to accelerate last March after years of coming in below the Fed’s two percent target. The Fed had decided to keep interest rates low although the economy was recovering at a faster than expected rate. What’s more, the Biden administration pushed through billions of dollars of deficit spending in the American Rescue Plan. These combined to fuel demand for goods and services faster than supplies could expand, pushing up prices.

Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell, following the advice of many of the economists on the central bank’s staff, initially claimed that inflation was due to transitory factors. Fed officials forecast that inflation would fall in the latter half of 2021, predicting that supply chains would swiftly unsnarl and a rebalancing of consumer demand from goods to services would relieve pricing pressure. The Biden administration, under the tutelage of former Fed chair and now Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, largely followed suit and continued to press for even more spending.

Israel puts Iran Nuclear Breakout Time at 4–6 Months with Deal

Watch below. The Biden Administration is about to re-enter a more flawed version of Obama’s disastrous JCPOA. War in the Middle East is looking more likely by the day.

Israel puts Iran nuclear breakout time at 4–6 months with deal

By Axios, February 9, 2022

Israeli government experts believe that a U.S. return to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran will set the amount of time Tehran needs to produce the amount of highly enriched uranium needed for a nuclear bomb to four to six months, a senior Israeli official told me.

Why it matters: This assessment is shorter than the six to nine month breakout time the Biden administration experts calculated, per two Israeli officials familiar with strategic consultations between the U.S. and Israel.

The big picture: The standard set by the 2015 nuclear deal was one year breakout time.

But Iran’s nuclear advances since the Trump administration withdrew from the deal made this standard irrelevant.

U.S. and Israeli officials say that Iran’s current breakout time — without a deal in place — is only about five weeks.

Behind the scenes: The six to nine month breakout time assessment by the Biden administration was relayed to Israeli officials during video strategic consultations two weeks ago, Israeli officials told me.

During the consultations with the U.S., Israeli officials learned that a renewed nuclear deal will not include destroying Iranian advanced centrifuges, which they were not allowed to use according to the 2015 agreement.

A senior Israeli official said a renewed deal will only include the storage of these advanced centrifuges in Iran under an International Atomic Energy Agency seal. Israeli officials fear this will allow Iran to resume using those centrifuges on a very short order.

A White House National Security Council spokesperson declined to detail the strategic consultations between the U.S. and Israel, which he said were meant to exchange views and trade ideas confidentially.

“We will not negotiate in the press or comment on specific claims about the negotiations,” a State Department spokesperson said.

What to watch: The Vienna nuclear talks, which resumed yesterday, have reached a critical point, with U.S. officials saying Iran must make “tough” decisions now or face an escalating crisis.

Rob Malley, the U.S. envoy for Iran, is in Vienna but continues to engage in indirect talks with the Iranians through European mediators.

The talks are expected to continue through at least next week. It’s unclear whether a breakthrough can be achieved.

Anti-Domestic Violence Play Canceled for ‘violating’ Islamic Tradition

Sharia empowers women! *to get beaten.

Respect it, Islamophobes!

Will Muslim women ever break out of their bondage and claim their rightful place among emancipated non-Muslim women? It has long been sub-humanized Muslim women who must discard Islam and claim their equal human rights. Muslim men will resort to every means to maintain their privileged position and their cruel dominance over women, citing the Quran as justification. Any document that consigns half of humans to second-class status is null and void.

Islam is consistent in its injustice. It demonizes the kefirs (unbelievers), it formally condones slavery, and institutionalizes oppression of even Muslim women. In fully 71% of the verses of the Quran where women are mentioned, they are ascribed lower status and assigned subservience to men. The Hadith even outdoes the Quran by 89%. In the Quran itself, wife-beating is recommended (Surah 4:34), marriage to prepubescent girls is condoned (Surah 65:4), following the example of Muhammad himself, who married Ayesha when she was only six years of age. Men are to view sexual intercourse as plowing a field (Surah 2:223). Sexual slavery is clearly condoned (Surah 33:50); polygamy is ordained (Surah 4:2); temporary marriages, tantamount to prostitution, are permitted (Surah 4:24).

According to Islam, women are naghes-ul-aghl (intellectually defective) and men are rulers over women Quran (4:34). A woman’s testimony is worth one half of a man’s; they are to be obedient to their husbands. A man can “marry” as many women as he desires and divorce them at will, while a woman can only be married to one man and has no such right to divorce. (more here)

Anti-domestic violence play canceled for ‘violating’ Islamic tradition

Jatt Mayor Khaled Jarrah argued that the show essentially calls for a rebellion against the traditional family roles and violates Islamic law.

By Eliav Breuer, J Post, FEBRUARY 6, 2022:

The mayor of the Arab town of Jatt near Haifa canceled a play about violence against women in the Arab sector on the same day that a 26-year-old mother of three was seriously injured in a shooting in Lod, reportedly in connection to the divorce process she was in.

The show in question, called “Voices” (“Kolot”), documents a collection of stories and situations from the lives of women, girls, and youth in romantic relationships, describing the cycle of violence they experience, which culminates in murder.

The mayor, Khaled Jarrah, argued that the show essentially calls for a rebellion against the traditional family roles and violates Islamic law.

Directed by Hisham Suleiman (Fauda, Baghdad Central, Al Medinah), the artistic director of the Nazareth Fringe Theater, and promoted by women’s rights NGO Na’amat, the play premiered in June and has been performed over 70 times since, including in the November “IsraDrama” festival, held by the Hanoch Levin Institute of Israeli Drama in Tel Aviv.

The play became popular very quickly, Suleiman said in a conversation with The Jerusalem Post. It has been performed in dozens of Arab cities and towns that often appear in the news due to gun violence.

For Suleiman, however, the more interesting part of the play is the discussion panel that the cast decided to hold immediately after it.

“For me, the real play begins after the staged show ends,” he said to the Post. “Unfortunately, the media did not notice until the extreme scenario happened – which shows that in Israel the extremes take over the daily discourse.”

The idea that Suleiman is trying to push across is that the violence against women is something that is a part of society – and is part of what boys see and learn from a young age. He wishes to draw a distinction between tradition that safeguards and anchors society, versus tradition that serves part of society and is used a weapon – in this case, quite literally.

“We educate women to be weak from childhood, and men to take control of women,” he said. “My thesis is that the play can prevent a murder or prevent a woman from being drawn into a circle of violence.”

Politicians responded to the cancellation.

“Women are killed because there are those who normalize it and demand that they remain silent when they are threatened,” Joint List (Hadash) MK Aida Touma-Sliman said. She denounced Jarrah’s hypocrisy, saying that the cancellation is an example of this phenomenon. Suleiman agreed.“We need to help women, and not shut them up.”

The play begins with obsessive questioning about the woman’s whereabouts and morphs into violence and murder. Suleiman hopes that the play can also teach women to identify signs of abuse at an early stage, before it turns violent.

“Every word in the play is true, uttered by people who experienced real violent abuse. And if they are speaking, we should listen and give them a stage,” he said.

“Art is meant to rattle you, to make you reexamine the customs you adhere to and make you change the way you see something, not to reaffirm a prior belief,” he concluded. “We count the women who are killed – 21 in 2021 – but need to start treating each one as a person with feelings, dreams, family and a future.”

In Canada it’s trucks versus tweets and the trucks are winning

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called the truckers out for antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, homophobia, and transphobia. Huh?


Freedom Convoy protesters open up about standing for their beliefs

Two weeks ago, the “Freedom Convoy” began in earnest, with thousands of truckers from every province crossing Canada’s icy highways to take their grievances over vaccine mandates to the nation’s capital.

After many dramatic twists and turns, hundreds of trucks and thousands of protesters still clog up Ottawa’s streets. Two of North America’s most important border crossings also remain blockaded.

Perhaps most surprising of all, the demonstration seems to be working. As of yesterday, four provincial Premiers announced plans to either eliminate or roll back key Covid measures — in Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Prince Edward Island.

While decision-makers are eager to distance their decision-making from the protests, there is no doubt that the mood is melting in Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has endured days of heckling in parliament —from both the right and the left — over his handling of the protests, with increased calls for him to reopen the country or at least listen to the truckers.

Trudeau has spent much of the last fortnight out of the public gaze. But he has been at the forefront of the Twitter war. In one tweet he characterised protesters as antisemites, Islamophobes, anti-Black racists, homophobes, and transphobes (an impressive list!). In another, he framed them as vandals, thieves and wavers of racist flags. Predictably, his words got the Twitter mobs baying.

Evidence for some of these claims is there, but scant. Footage has circulated of two lone actors, one waving a Confederate flag and one waving a Nazi flag. The former was heckled by crowds until he left the protest. He kept his identity tightly concealed, making it likely he was there to quite literally wave a false flag. The latter is still unidentified, even after a $6,500 reward was offered for leads on his identity.

Ottawa’s police chief and mayor have happily taken part in the war of words, which has helped keep things spicy on social media. Police Chief Peter Sloly warned of a “volatile” and “increasingly dangerous” situation and made repeated forecasts of impending violence that have failed to materialise. Mayor Jim Watson called a state of emergency, warning that the downtown occupiers posed a “serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents”.

Following an injunction, honking has been banned for ten days in Ottawa, and over a thousand tickets have been given out for excessive noise and parking infractions. The city has also seen some 23 arrests over the two-week period, all in relation to “mischief”, resisting arrest, and similar misdemeanours.

The news media has likewise done its best to demonise the protest. An impressive video still circulates on Twitter — a compilation of media reports describing the demonstration as “sedition”, an “insurrection”, “a threat to democracy”, and worse. Nevertheless, even if residents and city officials are at their wits’ end, the drama in Ottawa remains leagues behind the melodrama.

Indeed, a Daily Mail journalist recently published a report after spending a full week on Ottawa’s streets trying to get a read on the situation:

“Since DailyMail.com arrived in Ottawa last week we have seen no indication of violence or vandalism or any extremist political agenda. In fact, the demonstrations have shown the opposite. Supplies brought in for the protesters also include bouncy castles for children as protests continue into the second week…

“Every trucker DailyMail.com spoke with said they came to protest non-violently and their only reason being there was to free Canada of its covid mandates. Truckers were conscientious of the public streets and kept them free of litter. They also shovelled snow and threw down de-icer making the streets and sidewalks easier to walk on.”

The report’s headline aptly summarises the disconnect between the online and real worlds: “Freedom Convoy truckers say Trudeau and North America’s liberal media are falsely demonising them as ultra-right-wing crazies. And after spending a week in their midst, the Mail’s reporter can only conclude these peaceful, good-natured protestors are 100% correct about that – if nothing else.”

On the pretext that the demonstration had become violent and unlawful, GoFundMe shut down a US$10 million fundraiser and refunded donors. Not to be deterred, organisers set up a new campaign via GiveSendGo that quickly raised US$8 million — but just today, the Ontario government was successful in convincing a court to freeze access to those funds, too.

If the last fortnight is anything to go on, this will only harden the demonstrators’ resolve. When police began seizing fuel from truckers, protesters saw the humorous side. They were soon seen carrying jerry cans en masse through the city — whether full or empty — to confound law enforcement officials, thereby turning the humble jerry into a symbol of Canadian dissent.

The propaganda war on Twitter will no doubt continue, but nothing beats the real world. And in the real world, the truckers are winning.

The COVID Quacks Were Wrong About Everything

The COVID quacks were wrong about everything.  Let’s take a quick trip through their latest blunders, shall we?

They were wrong about masks.  They finally admitted the cloth masks they’d been telling everybody to wear for two years are worthless and everybody should wear N95 masks.  They’re wrong about that, too.  N95 masks cause higher carbon dioxide levels, cognitive impairment, headaches, cardio-pulmonary stress, and even fatal heart attacks.

They were wrong about the definition of COVID deaths.  Public health authorities have routinely inflated the numbers by including people who die from other causes but happen to test positive for COVID.  The CDC finally admitted maybe that wasn’t a good idea and they really should separate out the number who are hospitalized for other reasons and test positive after being admitted for something else.  We’ve been jumping up and down about this for two years and we were right.

They were wrong about lockdowns. Twenty-four studies now show lockdowns “have had little to no public health effects, [but] have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted.”

They were wrong about mandates and are now back-pedaling in Illinois, New York, three Canadian provinces, and Sweden.  Just the News  NBC-5 Chicago  Reuters  AP  The Democrats in control of Virginia’s state senate just voted to make masks optional in school.   Why is this happening now?  As Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis put it, the medical science didn’t change, but the political science has.  Government officials now realize they’ve taken this COVID mandate thing just about as far as it will go.  People aren’t putting up with mandates anymore.  The mandates are becoming more unpopular by the day and the Democrats in control of places like Illinois and New York can see the November elections barreling down the tracks at them like a freight train.

The quacks were wrong about natural immunity.  They tried to argue people who caught COVID did not develop natural immunity to the disease.  The CDC now admits there is natural immunity and it actually works better than the vaccines.

They were wrong about COVID vaccines stopping transmission of disease. The director of the CDC later admitted the vaccines do not prevent transmission. You can be vaccinated and still pass the virus to other people.

They were wrong about how susceptible kids are to the disease.  Zeke Emanuel claimed unvaccinated kids are in danger of contracting the virus and getting a “serious condition of Omicron.”  When his argument was demolished, he claimed he “misspoke”.  Sure.

They were wrong to ignore vitamin D.  The information has been out there for a long time, but public health authorities ignored it.  Now, a study validates vitamin D deficiency makes people 14 times more susceptible to serious COVID and to die from the disease.

Fauci was wrong and flip-flopped on masks, on whether the vaccinated should wear masks, on whether kids should be in school, and on how much people should interact with each other during the pandemic.  Ron DeSantis put the flip-flops in a campaign ad and Fauci comes off looking like an idiot, because he is.

So, they were wrong about masks, COVID deaths, lockdowns, mandates, natural immunity and lots of other things.  What else are they wrong about, hmm?  Vaccine safety, maybe?  They keep saying the COVID vaccines are safe, but over 23,000 Americans have died within 14 days of being vaccinated, so far.  Where are the government safety studies that are supposed to be done when a vaccine disaster strikes?  What has the government decided about doing such studies? I’m trying to find out. I filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the CDC for this information. First, they delayed, saying my request was ‘complex’, but now they’ve put it in the ordinary queue.  What does that really mean?  Does it mean they’ll take 75 years to answer like the FDA tried to do in another COVID vaccine FOIA case recently?  I’m not willing to wait 75 years. I will soon take steps to speed things up and put my request under court supervision.  Stay tuned.

Joe Biden’s Plan to Erase America Will Fail

Joe Biden’s open borders policies are bringing gruesome crime to the interior of the country.  Thanks to Joe, it’s everywhere now.  A drunk illegal alien crashed his car into another vehicle in Florida, killing a 5-year-old girl.  In Mississippi, an illegal alien pistol-whipped a woman and shot at her cellphone next to her head because she was vaping.  A Florida man was killed by an illegal alien the man took in who the man thought was 16 but who turned out to be much older and a criminal.

So what crimes will soon be committed by the illegal aliens being brought to cities across the country on those midnight flights Joe Biden doesn’t want you to know about?   There’s video proof obtained under the Freedom of Information Act the flights are occurring, but the Biden administration lies about the flights and obstructs journalists trying to bring the story to light.

Those are not the only recent actions this administration has taken to promote illegal immigration.  The administration contracted for legal services for illegal aliens, services which could eventually cost American citizens almost $200 million dollars.  Another illegal alien drunk driver who killed a woman in Houston was spared deportation under a DHS rule change giving leniency to illegal aliens guilty of nominally less serious crimes.  Wife-beaters and other felons now get to stay in the country.   The ‘less serious’ mantra is also leading to fewer prosecutions for human smuggling and drug trafficking on the part of federal prosecutors who now won’t prosecute.

Border agents arrested almost two million illegal aliens at the southern border last year, a record.  About 200,000 of them were released into the country pending asylum hearings to which, experience, shows, many will fail to appear. DHS recently admitted it has no idea where 40,000 illegal aliens who failed to respond to notices to appear might be.  How many crimes will result?  How many are terrorists?  At least one we know of, an illegal alien who was on the terrorist watch list who was released into the country pending an asylum hearing scheduled for March.  This wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did. In all, the Border Patrol stopped 14 illegal aliens on the terrorist watch list at the border last year.  The numbers are up, and observers worry that terrorists are now beginning to systematically exploit Joe Biden’s open borders policies.

Meanwhile, no more than a handful of asylum seekers are being sent back to Mexico while the Biden administration pretends to comply with a court order to reinstate Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy.

The Biden administration is systematically popping the rivets on immigration policy and attempting to cover its tracks.  We can only assume this is the plan and the plan is working, for now, whatever the ulterior motive might be.  Border agents are demoralized and openly criticize DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to his face, telling him Biden administration policies have made it impossible for them to do their jobs.  But criticism of this administration just bounces off.  They won’t listen. OK, you won’t listen, this is war (metaphorically speaking, of course). November can’t come soon enough. The Right is getting organized and many on the Left will stay home and not vote because they know Joe Biden’s open borders policies, subterfuge, and lawlessness are just wrong.

The Hidden Depths of the Deep State

At the outset of information of the existence and operation of the Deep State, the general mindset was that this was only a part of the FBI that was working to put together false information to implicate President Trump in dealings which would help result in his impeachment.

However, subsequent events, as well as results from the research of many individuals, have revealed that this was only the tip of the iceberg as far as the depth and breadth of the Deep State’s operation goes.

It is now completely evident that the Deep State is involved in practically everything related to changing America into a Socialist/Communist state. We are currently finding that most conservative organizations are heavily saturated.  And if they’re not actually staffed with those connected to it their top leaders are directing the show.  This, of course, results in those organizations either doing nothing, or doing the wrong thing.

How has this come about? A good example would be the selections of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett as President Trump’s three chosen supreme court justices.

Conservatives were led to believe that all of them were/are Constitutional Conservatives.  However, subsequent observations refute this. According to a recent article by Kelleigh Nelson, anyone still believing that these justices are true Constitutional Conservatives hasn’t been paying attention to how they vote.

Nelson states, “Not one of them even follows the U.S. Constitution. What is so discouraging is that they take turns being on the side of those who vote against our Constitution and against American citizens. Watch how they vote, and you’ll notice that one of the three will always side with Roberts, Sotomayor, Kagan and Breyer.”

I had noticed this prior to reading her article. Also, I had noticed that Justice Roberts did the same; If an issue came up that was practically insignificant, even though it might lean to the conservative side, he would vote with the conservatives, but if it was a key issue leaning to the left, he would support it.

I highly recommend this article by Kelleigh Nelson. Not only will one be enlightened concerning the things going on now, but also the many traitorous activities extending back to the Reagan years. And please go to the highlighted links which will give you a good beginning for a political science education in addition to a better understanding of how, and why issues which begin with being promoted as, Conservative and pro-American, turn out to be exactly the opposite.

This has come about, largely and in part, by the fact that most conservative organizations Americans are influenced by, like the Heritage Foundation and many others, are saturated, and to some extent staffed by those whose agenda is completely opposite of that claimed by the organization.

The Heritage Foundation has, for many years, been the epitome of influence for what was considered, “conservatives in the know.” This, of course, and as it was intended, resulted in many lesser conservative organizations and their adherents’ becoming satellites of the Heritage Foundation. So, what Heritage promoted, or stood behind was greeted with favor as it was presented to the conservative base.

But let’s look at a few examples of what it supported and promoted. I’ve already touched on the planting of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett in the Supreme Court; this resulted in the Court being, possibly the enemy of America for the remainder of time. In addition, the list of justices which Heritage submitted for President Trump to choose from to be candidates for Justices of the Supreme Court contained close to 20 lower court judges of which only two of them were Pro-Life.  The remainder were all pro-abortionists. So, in view of this alone, we can deduce conclusively that esoterically speaking, the only thing conservative about the Heritage foundation is its purpose to keep things as they are, i.e., to support and promote issues which are diametrically opposed to American principles.

What can we say about those individuals and organizations who support Heritage in the way of donations? Well, I would say most individuals continue to perceive it to represent the epitome of conservative thinking. In view of that, they think they’ve done their patriotic bit by donating a few dollars from time to time. However, it is quite evident that probably at least 90% of them don’t have the foggiest idea of what Heritage’s purpose and goals are.

That is only for individuals; for organizations and corporations…well, that’s a different pot of beans.

There may be a few small conservative organizations that have not succumbed to Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) connections, that continue to think Heritage is what it says it is. But for most of the larger so-called conservative organizations and corporations, and wealthier individuals, I believe that they are aware of the real Heritage agenda. For information on this part, I suggest the article by Kelleigh Nelson, which I referred to earlier.

The Deep State deepens with Vice President Michael Pence!

Trump thought he was the “trustworthy” and devout “Christian” Vice President that was more than willing to tell the politically naïve President that Heritage was a conservative think tank who would guide him to constitutionally conservative judges for the Supreme Court.

This, of course, identifies the former VP as an agent of the Deep State, which to all practically thinking makes him a traitor, in my opinion. But he’s only one; there are many more throughout the Republican Party, who are referred to as Trotskyites, Neo-cons and RINOs. All of these have their part in aiding the Deep State.

I marvel at the amount of intelligence my friend, Kelleigh Nelson, has disclosed in this article. Considering the number of articles of quality, she writes throughout the year, it just seems impossible that she, in such a limited amount of time, would be able to unveil so much that was practically hidden from the public.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, I began to have suspicions about Pence. I had noticed some remarks he had made to the effect that he was for the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). This was at the time in which Trump had let it be known that he was against it. Subsequently however, Pence became silent about the issue.

Practically all Kelleigh reveals in this single article plays into what the title of this article is all about. However, this article will be directed at the transitions over the last hundred plus years which set the table making it possible for the enemies of liberty to bring about what we are witnessing today.

We now know that the deep state didn’t just suddenly come into being for the purpose of helping to concoct lies about former President Donald Trump. Its beginnings started before I was born, a little over 94 years ago.  It all goes back at least to 1776 with the advent of the Illuminati. But the pot was beginning to boil even prior to that, with some financial interests starting to get both financial and political things arranged to set the table for future developments toward the goal of world government.

Skipping over the following 150 years with all the events of that time to World War I, the agenda for world government attempted to use the war for an impetus to aid them in instituting the League of Nations. However, the U.S. senators at that time read the Charter which resulted in the rejection of the League of Nations.

The failure to bring forth the League of Nations resulted in the agenda having to begin again. They accomplished this with the founding of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in 1921. To show the position of its agenda and sphere of influence, John Foster Dulles, the former U.S. Secretary of state, was its president. At the very outset, he began recruiting men of an international bent, both in government and high-up financial affairs. By the year 1939, the agents of the CFR descended upon Washington, DC to begin taking over the U.S. State Department on September 12, 1939.

For more information relative to the above events, go to my previous article, “Path to Understanding, Part 3.”

By 1950, the CFR’s membership totaled approximately one thousand, at which time it became the invisible government. Dan Smoot, Assistant to J. Edgar Hoover, wrote a book titled, “The Invisible Government”, wherein he described much about the CFR.

Here then is a partial outline of the development of the main planning and coordinating force behind everything that is happening today.

Probably the most significant thing the CFR was able to achieve towards progress related to its goal of world domination was its success in getting the United Nations accepted and set up, as well as getting it acknowledged as an “institution of peace.” However, we are at last seeing that the strive for world peace is only esoteric, which is to say the peace it is working to achieve is when it is in complete domination of the world where no resistance exists from anyone.

The following are prime examples of how the CFR gets things done through the power of government.

According to James Perloff, Author of “Shadows of Power,” in 1953 the Bricker Amendment was introduced in Congress. It stipulated that no treaty signed by the U.S. could override the Constitution or infringe on the rights guaranteed Americans. It was born out of painful retrospect of Yalta and the U.N. Charter. Foreign Affairs, the official publication of the CFR, ran a 19-page denunciation of the Bricker Amendment as its lead article in October 1953.  President Eisenhower towed the CFR line calling the Amendments’ backers “nuts and crackpots.” Biographer Ambrose writes, “Eisenhower used all his persuasive powers – at stag dinners, at meetings, in private, in correspondence, even on the golf course, to kill the amendment. And killed it was.”

Mr. Perloff also states, “In the fall of 1953, Norman Dodd, Director of Research for the Reece Committee, was invited to the headquarters of the Ford Foundation by its President, H. Rowan Gaither (CFR). According to Dodd, Gaither told him, “Mr. Dodd, all of us here at the policy making-level have had experience, either in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) or the European Economic Administration, with directives from the White House. We operate under those directives here. Would you like to know what those directives are?”  Dodd replied that he would. Gaither said, “The substance of them is that we shall use our grant-making power to alter our life in the United States that we can comfortably be merged with the Soviet Union.”

These two events confirm that Eisenhower was a secret agent of the CFR. It has been reported that he was a member of the organization which was possible and likely. This could have played into him being bumped from a Lt. Colonel to a 5 star General. So, we can readily see that all this resulted in a useful hidden depth of the Deep State. For more on this see my article, “The Enemies of Our President, Part 3.”

The membership of the CFR possibly stands now at between six and seven thousand with about five or six hundred in government departments. We can be sure they are continually striving to bring to fruition the entire agenda of the CFR. Each of them, I’m sure, are connected to those who are their personal satellites which aid in spreading the CFR narrative – world government via the Great Reset, but the CFR will not be referenced anywhere.

There are those who might say, “I’ve never seen anything attributed to the CFR as being involved in what is happening now.”  Of course not, it is practically never out front; it works from behind the scenes through others.

The Missing Link in the Whoopi-Holocaust Story

The Holocaust is a 77-year old story. Yet Whoopi Goldberg got in trouble last week for getting a major aspect of it wrong.

On January 31’s edition of “The View,” Goldberg said that the Holocaust was not about race.

The context was a discussion about the book, Maus, being banned by a Tennessee public school board because of nudity and profanity. Goldberg said: “I’m surprised that’s what made you uncomfortable, the fact that there was some nudity. I mean, it’s about the Holocaust, the killing of six million people, but that didn’t bother you? If you’re going to do this, then let’s be truthful about it. Because the Holocaust isn’t about race. No, it’s not about race.”

She has been suspended from the show for two weeks.

Hours after the program, she tweeted an apology to those offended by her remarks: “On today’s show, I said the Holocaust ‘is not about race, but about man’s inhumanity to man.’ I should have said it is about both. As Jonathan Greenblatt from the Anti-Defamation League shared, ‘The Holocaust was about the Nazi’s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people—who they deemed to be an inferior race.’ I stand corrected.” Greenblatt accepted her apology.

I asked Rabbi Daniel Lapin, President of the American Alliance of Jews and Christians, for a statement on this story. He told me that he disagrees with her often, but does not agree with the suspension: “Stuffing a gag into people’s mouths and trying to harm their careers doesn’t win the argument. It actually prolongs it by breeding anger and resentment.”

He added, “By the time the left has silenced the right and the other way around, and by the time secular and religious have silenced one another and by the time blacks and whites have silenced one another, we’ll all be living in a dull, silent, monotonous and resentful world.”

Interestingly, the very next day after this broadcast of “The View” came the release of a book, Darwinian Racism: How Darwinism Influenced Hitler, Nazism, and White Nationalism. This is the latest book by Dr. Richard Weikart, author of, From Darwin to Hitler. Weikart is professor emeritus of history at California State University, Stanislaus and a Senior Fellow with the Discovery Institute.

I’ve been following Dr. Weikart’s research for years. In 2006, I traveled to his college to interview him for our television production on the impact of Darwin on devaluing human life for D. James Kennedy Ministries, “Darwin’s Deadly Legacy.”

I asked Weikart if there was a link between Darwinism and what Adolph Hitler and the Nazis did. He told our viewers, “Among German historians, there’s really not much debate about whether or not Hitler was a social Darwinist; he clearly was drawing on Darwinian ideas.”

Weikart added that Darwin wasn’t anti-Semitic, but his ideas were used by the anti-Semites to do away with those viewed as sub-human.

Recently, Weikart wrote an op-ed initially called “Whoopi Goldberg, the Holocaust, and Race” to address her “misguided comment…that the Nazi Holocaust was not about race.”

Weikart notes that historically Jews were viewed as a religious group in Germany, but with the widespread acceptance of Darwinism came the acceptance of “biological determinism.” He writes, “Biological determinism taught that human traits, including behavioral traits, were determined by one’s heredity, not by one’s education and upbringing. When applied to Jews, this meant that the common stereotypes of Jews—that they are greedy, deceitful, sexual immoral, etc.—were allegedly biologically ingrained traits.” By the time of Hitler’s Third Reich, this view was widespread and Jews were viewed more in racial terms than in religious terms

So indeed the Holocaust was about race. It was all about achieving the so-called Master Race and eliminating those viewed as subhuman. The Jews were the largest group killed. Said Weikart, “For them, the killing of Jews was all about race.” The Nazis also killed Gypsies and Slavs for racist reasons.

Weikart said that in the Nazis were putting into practice genetic selection in the concentration camps—deciding who would live and who would die: “Natural selection was a guiding idea for Hitler and the Nazis…. and the term was related directly to Darwinian terminology….They were selecting this person to survive and this person to go to the gas chambers.”

On a recent radio segment, Weikart told me, “Hitler saw this life as a struggle for existence among many races opposing his so-called Aryan (or sometimes he’d use the term Nordic) race, and he framed it as a Darwinian struggle for existence.”

So what was the Holocaust all about? Said Weikart, “Adolph Hitler was clearly trying to speed evolution along.” Hitler believed that the evolutionary survival of his “master race” required the extermination of Jews.

Darwinian evolution is the missing link in Whoopi Goldberg’s verbal mistake last week.
