A new coalition of Muslim groups is launching a Democrat 2020 campaign to influence the Muslim vote. The “Million Muslim Votes campaign,” is described as “an unprecedented $1 million effort to find and persuade Muslims to participate in the 2020 general election.”
These groups are expectedly unsavory: CAIR, the Illinois Muslim Civic Coalition, MPower Change, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
CAIR is an infamous propaganda pitcher and an unindicted co-conspirator to Jihad terror.
The Illinois Muslim Civic Coalition partners with CAIR. CAIR Chicago’s Census Fellow, Nevarez Azdar works “with CAIR-Chicago and the Illinois Muslim Civic Coalition on 2020 Census related matters, namely building community awareness through workshops, presentations and events.” Azdar has “a particular outreach focus on college students and building strategic partnerships with similar peer civic engagement organizations.”
MPower Change was co-founded by Linda Sarsour, the “proud socialist” who has “compassion for Saddam Hussein”; defends and honors “known convicted terrorists”; “supports BDS and its Hamas agenda”; makes no secret of her “contempt Israel, Zionism, and Jews”; portrays America as “racist” and “Islamophobic,” and much more. “MPower Change aims to build political power online and offline for Muslims across the U.S. Combining cutting edge digital tools with years of field experience, organizing know-how, and an extensive network of supporters, MPower Change is redefining the ways that our communities build, maintain, and exercise power.”
The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) “has followed a consistent pattern of defending designated terrorist organizations and their supporters, opposing U.S. counterterrorism efforts and spouting anti-Semitic rhetoric.”
These groups have combined forces to influence the Islamization of America, and are being aided and abetted by political players who will always “stand by Muslim brothers and sisters” no matter what.
“Coalition of Muslim Political Groups Launches $1 Million Campaign to Get More Muslims to Vote In 2020,” by Steve Friess, Newsweek, March 12, 2020:
A coalition of prominent Muslim-American advocacy groups this morning are launching the Million Muslim Votes campaign, an unprecedented $1 million effort to find and persuade Muslims to participate in the 2020 general election.
Led by Emgage, a Washington D.C.-based group aimed at increasing Muslim-American political literacy and civic engagement, the campaign will focus on increasing turnout in several states with sizeable Muslim populations, Emgage CEO Wa’el Alzayat says.
“We believe getting the community to vote in a consistent manner and not just voting in presidential elections but for local, state and national offices, is a crucial ingredient to build political power,” Alzayat says. “In 2016, we saw that the scapegoating, demonization of the Muslim community was part and parcel of the electoral strategy of Trump. He was rewarded at the polls. We want to make sure that the Muslim community steps up and votes and gets its voice heard to let the country know how it feels about that.”
Emgage will be joined in this effort by EmPower, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Public Affairs Council, MPower Change and Illinois Muslim Civic Coalition, among others. They will target Muslims in Michigan, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Georgia, New York, Illinois, Texas and California.
A Tech-Driven Effort
More sophisticated than a simple get-out-the-vote public awareness campaign, the groups have developed an algorithm “to determine likely Muslim voters, and we overlay it on top of other identifiers like ethnicity models” in voter data purchased from the progressive data trust Catalist, Alzayat says. It’s not an exact science; many Muslims don’t have stereotypical Muslim-sounding names and some who do are not Muslim……

Swedish nurses’ conscience case rejected by European Court of Human Rights.
Ellinor Grimmark and Linda Steen, two Swedish nurses who have been denied midwife posts for refusing to carry out abortions, have now lost their legal bid to take Sweden to court for violating their beliefs after they took their case to the European Court of Human Rights.
The nurses argued that being denied employment due to their beliefs against abortion was an illegal breach of their rights to freedom of religion and conscience. Despite this, the ECHR “declined to take up the case, with a panel finding that Swedish authorities acted lawfully.” (‘Swedish anti-abortion nurses lose court battle’, Telegraph, March 14, 2020).
Most people think of nurses as trained in the vocation of saving lives, but now, apparently, they must be trained in taking lives. Somewhere along the line this has become normal, since we used to have just “nurses” and now we have “anti-abortion nurses”.
Ms Grimmark and Ms Steen have been fighting their corner for four years, and it might be thought that the ECHR, founded to protect human rights, would look favourably on their case. But although the right to freedom of conscience is a recognised human right respected in all civilised nations, Europe’s highest court refused them a hearing.
The decision was described by religious freedom group ADF International – which has been supporting the pair – as a “dangerous departure from the Court’s purpose in protecting fundamental freedoms.” Ms Grimmark said:
“I chose to become a midwife because I wanted to help bring life into this world. I cannot understand why the Swedish government refuses to accommodate my conscientious convictions. I am now working in Norway, where my conscience is respected, but no-one can explain why Sweden cannot do the same.”
Rather than defending the right to conscience, however, the Swedish Association of Midwives defended the authorities’ right to refuse Ms Grimmark work, its president, Mia Ahlberg, telling the BBC that upholding her challenge might result in, for example, a Jehovah’s witness refusing to perform a blood transfusion: “It’s part of our professional competence – so the employer had a right to say ‘you cannot work here.”
That the Swedish midwives’ president is unable to distinguish between a blood transfusion, vital for saving life, and an abortion, which takes human life, is disturbing enough, but it’s of a piece with the attitude of her counterpart in the UK.
In 2014 Glasgow midwives Connie Wood and Mary Doogan went all the way to the Supreme Court to defend the right of midwives not be involved in abortion, only to discover two years later that the Royal College of Midwives’ president, Professor Cathy Warwick, had given the RCM’s backing to abortion provider BPAS’s campaign for all legal restrictions to be removed from abortion – without consulting thousands of midwives.
With the upper echelons of the medical profession seemingly taken over by abortion advocacy, the impression can be given that abortion has the blessing of medicine – a “trusted brand”.
And with the highest human rights court in Europe no longer interested in human rights – at least, human rights with which they disagree – it does not bode well for a young mother’s case to be able to keep vigil outside an abortion clinic and offer help to women attending the clinic.
Alina Dulgheriu this week lost her bid for the Supreme Court to hear her case against Ealing Council for imposing a Public Spaces Protection Order around an abortion facility in West London.
Ms Dulgeriu feels an obligation to offer the kind of help which she herself gratefully accepted when she was sacked by her employer and abandoned by her boyfriend. She is now the mother of a six-year-old daughter. She is considering taking her case to the ECHR, and Laurence Wilkinson, Legal Counsel for the London branch of ADF International, which is providing her legal support, commented:
“In refusing permission to appeal, the Supreme Court has denied Alina the opportunity to argue her case before the highest court in the country and failed to recognise the human rights violations caused by the Order. Free societies must be free to discuss even ideas some consider controversial rather than simply criminalising them. Evidence shows that hundreds of women – like Alina – have accepted the help offered by peaceful pro-life groups outside abortion facilities.”
Despite all the rhetoric about freedom and choice, not only must nurses fight for the right to conscience regarding abortion, but anyone who publicly disagrees with it or attempts to offer positive alternatives will be silenced if they try to do so in the place that really matters – outside the clinic, at the last minute.
No wonder a quarter of pregnancies in the UK now end in abortion. But instead of wondering if enough help is in place for these women, their desperate decisions have been greeted as a triumph for choice.
In politics, in government, in the media and in the health sector, and most especially in feminist circles, abortion has become the idea that is too big to fail, even when women themselves reject it.

President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency Friday to deal with the coronavirus pandemic is anything but a sign to panic. Instead, it’s a reassurance to the American people that the federal government, state and local governments, nongovernmental organizations and American industry are working together to stop the spread of the virus.
In many parts of our country, schools are shutting down for weeks. Businesses are sending their employees home to telework when possible. Churches and synagogues are closing their doors. Professional sports events have been canceled. More than 30 governors have declared states of emergency.
There are some who view this response to the coronavirus as an overreaction. After all, millions of Americans get the seasonal flu every year and we don’t take these measures.
But this isn’t an overreaction. On the contrary, this is a commonsense, measured response to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
In these trying times, we must turn to the greatest document in the history of the world to promise freedom and opportunity to its citizens for guidance. Find out more now >>
In the Washington metropolitan area where I live, new cases of people testing positive for the coronavirus are being reported each day. Washington is an international city, with embassies housing foreign nationals from all over the world and people from other countries regularly visiting for business and vacation. Large conventions and conferences, along with packed sports arenas, are a daily occurrence in normal times.
That’s why it makes sense that Washington and the surrounding states of Virginia and Maryland have all declared states of emergency. Maryland has banned gatherings of 250 people or more. In Washington and Virginia, mass gatherings have also been postponed or canceled.
Congress has shut down the Capitol and congressional offices to the public. Schools, colleges and universities are closing. Even major businesses like Capital One are asking employees to stay home and telecommute.
There are lessons to be learned from places like Italy, where currently the health care system is overwhelmed because the coronavirus is spreading faster than the system’s capacity to handle the influx of patients.
The facts are indisputable: social distancing is one of the primary ways to slow the trajectory of the spread of the coronavirus, reducing the number of active cases at any given time.
Slowing the trajectory spreads the cases out over time, giving hospitals and medical personnel the capacity to handle them. Slowing the trajectory also buys time for scientists to develop a vaccine and get more people vaccinated before they contract the disease.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, pointed out the need for social distancing when he told members of Congress that the number of cases will get worse – but how much worse will depend on our “ability to contain and mitigate within our own country.”
Some ask why these actions are being taken when we don’t take similar actions for the seasonal flu that strikes millions of Americans each year. The answer is that COVID-19 – the disease caused by the coronavirus – appears to be deadlier and spread quicker.
Fauci and other health officials estimate that the COVID-19 death rate in the United States is likely somewhere around 1 percent. “The flu has a mortality rate of 0.1 percent. [COVID-19] has a mortality rate of 10 times that. That’s the reason I want to emphasize we have to stay ahead of the game in preventing this,” Fauci told members of Congress.
In addition to the higher death rate, the coronavirus appears to be more infectious than the flu. With the seasonal flu, a single infected person will infect another 1.3 people. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, early estimates point to a single person with the coronavirus infecting another two to three people.
Based on those numbers – the potential for more than double the infection rate and 10 times the death rate of the flu – the coronavirus could result in a horrific number of deaths in the United States this year if mitigation efforts aren’t introduced immediately.
Rather than an overreaction, social distancing and these other measures are prudent. And rather than instilling fear, they should bring some sense of relief to the American people. Because positive measures are being taken, less people may become infected, and we’re working toward ensuring that the American health care system has the capacity to handle new cases.
Mitigation measures like postponing conferences and conventions, canceling sporting events, and having employees work from home may bring a temporary but painful disruption to the economy. But that’s a relatively small price to pay to save the lives of many people in our country.
We would do well to heed the advice the British government offered a fearful nation under much worse circumstances during World War II: “Keep calm and carry on.”
Today carrying on means following the advice of the president and our nation’s leading health care professionals. It means living our lives while at the same time practicing responsible social interaction. That’s not panicking. That’s doing your civic duty to help protect yourself, your family, and your fellow Americans.

A professor at an Ohio university is appealing a federal judge’s ruling that he contends compels him to say something he doesn’t agree with.
“Professors don’t give up their First Amendment freedoms simply by choosing to teach,” said Travis Barham, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal aid group that represents the professor.
Nicholas Meriwether, a philosophy professor at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, Ohio, says he was “illegally disciplined” by his employer because he chose not to adhere to a male student’s insistence on being referred to with female titles and pronouns.
“Dr. Meriwether received a written warning … threatening him with ‘further corrective actions’ if he does not start expressing the University’s desired message,” Barham said in an email to The Daily Signal, adding:
In these trying times, we must turn to the greatest document in the history of the world to promise freedom and opportunity to its citizens for guidance. Find out more now >>
These further corrective actions could include suspension without pay or termination. He is still employed at Shawnee State University, though he has this black cloud hanging over his head all the time. This punishment is illegal because it violates his First Amendment rights.
On Nov. 5, 2018, Alliance Defending Freedom filed a lawsuit on Meriwether’s behalf, maintaining that he should not be forced to use feminine pronouns and titles for a male student.
“Public universities have no business trying to force people to express ideological beliefs that they do not hold,” Barham told The Daily Signal. “Dr. Meriwether remains committed to serving all students with respect, but he cannot express all messages or endorse all ideologies.
“When the university tried to force him to do this and then punished him for exercising his rights, it violated the First Amendment,” Barham said.
U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott threw out the lawsuit Feb. 12, and Alliance Defending Freedom announced Thursday that it is appealing her decision.
Dlott, appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1995, is senior judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
Emilie Kao, director of the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal in an email that Meriwether is being robbed of his constitutional rights.
“Compelling a university professor to utter scientific falsehoods in the name of a political ideology is un-American,” Kao said. “The Constitution protects the freedom to speak according to one’s conscience. It must be protected on controversial issues like transgender ideology if diversity of thought and intellectual integrity are to be preserved.”
Jonathan Butcher, a senior policy analyst in Heritage’s Center for Education Policy, said in a written statement provided to The Daily Signal that “students and professors should be allowed to speak freely on public policy issues of the day and not fear reprisal from the university based on positions the school has decided to take on such topics.”

The story of Democrat Mayor of Tallahassee gets worse by the day. It now appears that the man who Gillum was with in a Miami hotel is not only a self proclaimed gay porn star but also a male escort from the “Rent Men” website. Erin Coates a reporter from TheWestern Journal published the following video in a column titled Gillum’s Overdosed ‘Friend’ Was Actually a Gay Sex Worker: Report.
More details about former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who narrowly lost the Florida gubernatorial race in 2018, and the “inebriated state” he was found in early Friday morning have been released.
Gillum was found in a Mondrian South Beach Hotel room in Miami Beach with Travis Dyson, a 30-year-old who identifies himself as a “pornstar performer,” according to WPLG, which cited his profile on a gay male escort website called Rent Men.
The news outlet also said Dyson had shared videos of himself with a muscular man identified as his boyfriend on social media, but his Instagram page appears to have been taken down as of Saturday morning.
According to the documents, police responded to a cardiac-arrest distress call just before 1 a.m. at the Mondrian South Beach. When two officers from the Miami Beach Police Department arrived at the luxe hotel on West Avenue just north of 11th Street, they noted that Miami Beach Fire-Rescue was on scene treating a man for a possible drug overdose, but that the man, identified as Travis Dyson, was in stable condition.
The officers stated that the third man involved in the incident, Aldo Mejias, had lent Dyson his credit-card information to rent a hotel room yesterday afternoon and that the two were supposed to meet later that day. Mejias told the officers that he arrived at the hotel room around 11 p.m. and that Dyson opened the door and then immediately collapsed on a bed and began vomiting. Mejias said he began giving Dyson CPR and called 911.
Mejias told police Gillum was inside the hotel room “under the influence of an unknown substance.” Mejias said that while he was performing CPR on Dyson, Gillum was vomiting in a bathroom. Officers said that they tried to speak with Gillum but that he was “unable to communicate due to his inebriated state.”

CAIR’s Islamophobia reports have been around for a while. And they deserve as much credibility as anything from an officially unindicted co-conspirator Islamist organization ought to.
In 2008, the FBI developed a policy on its interactions with CAIR based in part on evidence presented during the 2007 trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development.! The evidence at trial linked CAIR leaders to Hamas, a specially designated terrorist organization, and CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case. The policy was intended to significantly restrict the FBI’s non-investigative interactions with CAIR and to prevent CAIR from publicly exploiting such contacts with the FBI.
Expect every media report on CAIR’s new Islamophobia report, Hijacked by Hate, to ignore this minor detail.
In 1993 Awad, who had developed into an increasingly outspoken advocate for the rights of Palestinians, became the public-relations director of the Islamic Association for Palestine(IAP)—a front for Hamas.
In 1994, then-IAP president Omar Ahmad convened a meeting with Rafeeq Jaber and Awad to discuss the possibility of branching IAP out in another direction. As a result of that meeting, in June of 1994 these “IAP three” incorporated the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)—as Awad put it, “to bridge the chasm of ignorance between Muslims in America and their neighbors.” Awad became the group’s executive director—a post he continues to hold—and Ahmad was named chairman of the board. Awad then solicited his friend and colleague from the Bosnian Relief Committee, Ibrahim Hooper, to serve as CAIR’s communications director. With the help of a $5000 donation from the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF)—yet another Hamas front group—CAIR opened up an office in Washington, DC.
At a March 22, 1994 symposium at Barry University in Florida, he declared: “I used to support the PLO, and I used to be the President of the General Union of Palestine Students which is part of the PLO here in the United States, but after I researched the situation inside Palestine and outside, I am in support of the Hamas movement more than the PLO.”
In an interview that same year with newsman Mike Wallace, Awad was asked if he supported the “military undertakings of Hamas,” to which he replied: “The United Nations Charter grants people who are under occupation [the right] to defend themselves against illegal occupation.”
Again, expect the media not to cover any of this.
But the latest Islamophobia Report breaks new ground in not only going after the expected targets, David Horowitz, Robert Spencer, Daniel Pipes, David Yerushalmi, Pamela Geller, and other people who have called attention to the problem of Islamist violence.
This time this supposed review of “Islamophobic hate groups” drags in the National Review. Really? The National Review.
And a laundry list of pro-Israel organizations including CAMERA, EMET, FLAME, MEMRI, aside from the latter, the rest don’t even concentrate on Islam, they just oppose Islamic terrorism against Israel.
While this would be easy enough to dismiss, except that the report comes with an endorsement from Heidi Beirich, the creepy point woman on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s infamously sloppy hate lists.
That means the SPLC has gotten to the point where it’s willing to denounce mainstream pro-Israel groups as hate groups. That’s the direction it went with socially conservative Christian groups. Pro-Israel groups are next.

The world changed. A paradigm shifting moment if you read between the lines. This may be the most important article of over 450, that I have written to date. Please do read all of it and share it. Not for me, for us. Thank you and God bless you. And follow me on “News Behind The News“.
On March 11, 2020 President Trump addressed the Deep State, the American people and the world from the Oval Office concerning the Coronavirus. The President announced unprecedented moves such as suspending air travel both to and from Europe for thirty days. Social distancing and general hygiene precautions were also addressed. President Trump approved an $8.3 billion bill passed by Congress to help combat the virus. Furthermore, the President spoke of school closings and other closures and the avoidance of large crowds. The President announced financial assistance in various forms for financial relief of the American people. The President assured us that the fundamentals of our economy are solid and the best in the world today. He provided comfort and assurance that this will pass, (and it will). Then on March 13, 2020, the President once again held a briefing at the White House Rose Garden accompanied in part, by CEO’s of large corporations, joining forces with the Federal Government to help curtail the spread of the Coronavirus. In this briefing, the President declared a National State of Emergency. And with this, the Corona counter attack begins. They can never out trump, Trump.
The News Behind The News – Connecting the Dots of the Cornavirus
Perspective. Presently, and it is now only March 13, 2020, there are an estimated 220,000 people in the U.S. with the flu and 22,000 died thus far year to date. Presently, and this number changes daily, authorities in 132 countries and territories have reported more than 142,000 novel coronavirus cases worldwide since China reported its first cases to the World Health Organization in December. In the U.S. as of today, March 13, 2020, the total cases reported are 1,629, in 46 states, with 41 deaths. Of these deaths, 23 occurred in one concentrated place at Life Care Center in Kirkland, Washington, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center.
Could this virus simply be a highly contagious cold or flu like virus? There was a 65 year old woman that was on the Diamond Princess who was diagnosed with Covid-19 and she went on FOX NEWS and basically said she had a mild fever, cough etc. and after a few days the symptoms went away and she was tested again as negative. The President has told us that most who are diagnosed in fact, do recover. Most who die are elderly due to poor immune systems and or current illnesses. Well isn’t that the case with most anything for anyone elderly like this?
Let’s talk about testing shall we? According to reports, there seems to be some sort of problem with the current tests. According to a study published in a medical journal, the false positive rate of positive results was 80.33%. You can find more data about this by clicking here. So you can see why there is a rush to test the President. Like all else, Trump has beat them to the punch. The President has taken action to make new tests and make testing available for all under the direction and supervision of the team the President has assembled in government as well as in the private sector. The fact that there is such a rush to have the President tested by the MSM media makes one wonder. The President will be tested with the test he chooses at the time he chooses. End of story.
Dark Desperate Deep State Is Panicking
This is a deep state op. Yes, another deployed false flag. A soon to be failed one. The media has pushed fear. Do you believe what the media says? I mean they told us for two years that Donald Trump was a Russian spy! The MSM have been fanning the flames of fear since day one. That’s their job as the controlled megaphone of the deep state. They expected to create complete chaos and societal breakdown, this has not occurred. They expected a complete market and economic collapse but this too, actually has backfired as well. I will discuss this a bit further on this Wednesday on News Behind The News. Tune in.
You see, the “plandemic”, Coronavirus, is a well-planned deep state op, that was created and deployed as a weapon against humanity, with specific aim at President Donald J. Trump (the existential threat), we the people, and America, as an attempt to derail the electability of Donald Trump, and as a desperate attempt to prevent being further exposed and taken down. Yes, a battle between good and evil. I, and many others that are in the know and awake, have forecast this type of event and scenario we today find ourselves in with the Coronavirus attack. I and others, have written and spoken about these sorts of events for quite some time and most always under much fire and challenge. They are called false flags. And since we all will have some time on our hands now, I strongly urge you to listen to the video links posted below. And so it’s game on! Let’s have a further look at the News Behind The News, shall we? Oh excuse me, before we continue, Bill Gates resigned from his BOD. Carry on, nothing to see here…
National Emergency – Counter Attack – Stafford Act – Restoring the Republic
Nothing can stop what’s coming. Nothing. This has been planned for quite some time. National State of Emergency – the Counter Attack. “Never let a crisis go to waste”, cuts both ways. The national state of emergency gives the President extraordinary resources and full power of all kinds, from the Federal Government.
President Trump recently stated in media interviews that he has read and is very well familiar with the provisions in the Stafford Act. This gives under a national state of emergency, extraordinary powers to the President such as afforded to the President via the Stafford Act
Stafford Act Provisions Provides Emergency Power
Marines and National Guard to work under one set of orders by the President
Can call forth the militia to help execute the laws – Repel invasion
Felonies can be brought forth without presentment or without grand jury indictment
Yes the President said he can now use the full power of the Federal government under a National Emergency. The President said no resource will be spared in a recent tweet.
You see this is an intelligence battle of which we are winning. Check mate is coming. Although presently it seems like we are losing, Trump is setting the stage. This is what America’s second revolution looks like. We have fought and won many battles in the past three years beginning with the attempted election theft of Donald J. Trump in 2016, not by Russia but by the deep state, the DOJ, FBI, CIA, the Democrat operatives, and the Clinton machine all under the Barack Obama administration. They said Trump will bring us into nuclear war with North Korea. Instead the President ushered in a handshake between North and South Korea as the President himself crossed the demilitarization zone. No nukes, no war. Syria, they said Trump would bring us to war with Syria. How did that work out? ISIS and the caliphate crushed, no war with Syria. This brings us to the orchestrated designed destruction of Brett Kavanagh to see that he did not become a Supreme Court Justice. Today he sits on the bench. When all else fails bring in Stormy Daniels and the creepy porn lawyer Michael Avennatti. How did that end up? Stormy Daniels was ordered by a Federal Judge to pay President Trump’s $325,000 legals bills and CNN fake news porn star Michael Avenatti, who said he will put Trump behind bars and considered a run for President, is behind bars in a rat infested urine stained cell and Trump is seeking re-election.
And remember the media frenzy about recession-recession-recession? There was no recession. Then of course there was the Mueller witch hunt. Russia-Russia-Russia. Result? A nothing burger. This brings us to the fake, phony, and false impeachment hoax. This too backfired. Happy New Year! The attempt to bring Trump into war with the failed Soleimani attempt too back fired and that story came and went in a flash along with the life of the terrorist himself. Trump, ending endless wars. This brings us to today, the Coronavirus. Now this battle, albeit a bit more challenging and sacrificing, shall soon be won. In fact the pendulum shifting moment already happened. Time is short for the deep state scum. We are actually, covertly, on the offense – big league. Again, nothing is as it appears. Trust the President. Trust the plan. Things will get worse and more dangerous over the next two to three months. It’s okay. We will prevail. Stay calm and focused. Trust the plan. This is what dark to light looks like.
Summary
The Coronavirus is real, created in the labs of Wuhan and has since been deployed, so wash your hands well and often. Follow what the authorities, particularly what President Trump is saying. Consider taking sodium ascorbate (Vit C) in powder form, oregano drops, perhaps along with colloidal silver and Vit D. Seek a qualified natural health care practitioner or a medical doctor with a conscience towards cures and not just addicted and controlled customers, and build your immune system. Plenty of good advice on the “prepper sites” as well as on FOX NEWS and other broadcasts from various professionals. Hunker down. Stay home, enjoy yourself! Get caught up on things. Read, watch movies, actually talk with human beings. Use technology while at home to remain well connected. Kick back and soon this too, shall pass. Having said that, nothing is as it appears.
The lock-downs and closings will accelerate. But the bottom line is simply this. Exposure-Shakedown-Takedown. Keep these three words in mind. Turn off the fake news and tune in. You will begin to see. Their time is up and they know it. Game on-game over. Arrests have begun. Indictments are coming. The CB system is about to be checkmated. The markets (eventually), will be restored but more importantly the entire monetary system. In November, Trump wins in a landslide.
And So…
And so now I ask you to listen up please. Yes I may be speaking to the choir here to an extent, well I am glad that the choir has been assembled. Now sing your hearts out and share this article far and wide. Since what I am about to say may come as somewhat of a surprise so again I ask you to listen up as I embark upon what I call disruptive, uncomfortable truths. But don’t shoot me, I am only the messenger. You are about to hear things that perhaps you have never heard before. But just because you haven’t heard it doesn’t mean it isn’t true. You just haven’t heard it yet. And just because I say it, doesn’t mean it is true. Point here is do your homework. Do your own due diligence. Let me begin to help us connect the dots, making sense of the madness.
Their goal in part, is people control, population control, forced vaccinations and the destruction of President Donald Trump’s economy along with the global economy. This is being done at the same time as the de-class and while arrests have begun and also serves as a major diversionary tactic and diversionary distraction as the deep state and global shadow government are fighting for their survival. We are at war.
Pay attention. Last week hundreds of the cartel arrest were made. Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell is draining the swamp. He is freezing hiring at the Office of the DNI while beginning the process of cutting staff. Meanwhile, and not getting much media attention, Trump has ordered the military which has hit deep state site targets in Iraq. This is the next step to the follow up of the take down of terrorist Soleimani.
IGI, IGII FISA, Lyndsey Graham’s Senate Judiciary sworn hearings , as 21 deep state scum will testify under oath. Graham is on the record as saying that 50% involved in the Russia hoax are going to jail. Rudy Giuliani’s files are now in the justice department on AG Barr’s desk exposing sleepy Joe and Where’s Hunter Biden along with many other dead bodies both literally and figuratively in the Ukraine. Yes the Barr tab is due. The Jeffrey Epstein case is yet another on-going investigation. We have the films, photos and evidence. AG Barr said, and I am paraphrasing, that those who are complicit in the Epstein case shoudl not rest well. There is also Julian Assange, who is due back here in US courts to reveal a treasure trove of most devastating valuable intel against the dems, the fake news and the deep state.
Then there is John Durham who is very close, I mean very close to releasing and revealing not only his criminal investigation but his indictments. Remember there are over 150,000 sealed indictments. Trust Sessions. Trust Mattis. Nothing is as it seems. This is an intel battle and information war on our minds. Fortunately, people are waking up. The people are seeing. The people are now onto this. Yes we the people, the patriots now bear an awesome responsibility for America and for mankind. Heed the call. My advice-Trust and support Trump. No Trump, No Hope.
Know this. We know who they are, where they are, and just what they have done. There is nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. Justice is coming and they know it. It’s either us or them. The deep state is going down as Harvey Weinstein is hauled off to prison.
Yes Trump stated – “I Caught The Swamp” , well, he meant it! Yes, military tribunals have already begun. Yes, two former elected officials have already paid the price as justice for them has been served. Yes, the Federal death penalty has been re-instated by AG Barr. And we may very well see perhaps in 2020, live streaming tribunals from GITMO. This is Trump and the Resurrection of America as Trump leads America’s Second Revolution. It’s here. It’s happening. It’s escalating as the battle rages on. Humanity hangs in the balance.
The deployment of the coronavirus shows you just how evil and how serious this battle is. Freedom or tyranny. Life or mass death and destruction. No this is not fear porn, this is well founded commentary and analysis. Go ahead and challenge me. Remember this, many of the conspiracy theories of yesterday have become the conspiracy facts and realities of today. The deep state is exposed. They are panicking and they will lose. Yes, things are now become increasingly more serious, deadly and greatly concerning for humanity, again with America being in the cross hairs. We have won every major battle and deployment of false flags and coup d’etats.
In Closing…
I received this intel. I shall share it.
“There are 151,002 sealed indictments in federal courts all around the US and it’s protectorates at this moment waiting to be served. Mostly on voter fraud and election rigging but also by other serious criminal syndicates and much of it treasonous which will warrant military trials. GITMO cost 2 million to set up to handle ‘terrorists’ in 2001. The Trump administration has spent over 2 BILLION revamping it and expanding it over the last two years. Another 3 Billion in remote infrastructure has been put in play in the last year. He didn’t do all that for optics.
As of 60 days ago GITMO has been fully manned and is now at full strength with personnel and supplies. The (some) ‘quarantine centers can double as detention centers for legal processing. The overlapping ‘census’ and medical observation will provide context to speak with and vet every person – think illegals who voted. I also expect air travel to be shut down for 4-6 days at some point most likely around 3/22/20.
Things will get back on track fairly slow but sure about mid April but it will be early summer before it’s really seeming close to ‘normal’ again. Definitely not the end of the world, just a hard hiccup. Might need a weeks worth of food on hand and to bridge the kids through and keep the gas tank topped off. It will sound worse than it is and then pass but don’t blow this off; it’s the real deal, the virus is mostly being used opportunistically to do what has been in play for quite some time.”
Singing Off For Now
Wow! What an amazing time to be alive. We are winning and as our brilliant, brave, chosen, and duly elected President Donald J. Trump stated in the briefing from the oval office, “we are all in this together”. This will pass. And remember, WWG1WGA. (Where We Go One We Go All).
It’s all here- published daily. Watch the News Behind The News, with John Michael Chambers and co-host Kelly Ruiz. God Bless.

Failed Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum was reportedly involved in a suspected crystal meth overdose on early Friday at a Miami Beach hotel.
The Miami Beach Police report that officers found Gillum in a West Avenue hotel bathroom, vomiting and too inebriated to speak. Two other men, who some sources claim were naked, were also in the hotel room; one of them possibly overdosed on crystal meth, baggies of which police discovered in the room.
“I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to assist one of my friends,” Gillum said in a statement. “While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines. I apologize to the people of Florida for the distraction this has caused our movement. I’m thankful to the incredible Miami Beach EMS team for their efforts. I will spend the next few weeks with my family and appreciate privacy during this time.”
Florida dodged a bullet when Republican Ron DeSantis defeated radical leftist Gillum to become Governor.
Notably, on Gillum’s watch, the city of Tallahassee and its surrounding Leon County metro area had been plagued by the highest crime rate in Florida for each of Gillum’s four years in office up to that point. In 2017, Tallahassee experienced more murders than in any previous year in its history.
In October 2018, newly uncovered text messages and email records showed that Gillum, during an August 2016 trip to New York, had accepted a high-priced ticket to the popular Broadway show Hamilton from Mike Miller, an undercover FBI agent who was investigating government corruption connected with Tallahassee, where Gillum was mayor. Gillum responded to the release of the documents by stating, “The goal is obviously to use my candidacy as a way to reinforce, frankly, stereotypes about black men.”

The world over, commitment to democratic values is worryingly weak.
For those old enough or educated enough to remember, humanity still lives very much in the shadow of the bloody 20th century (the most murderous in human history) with its failed political ideologies and the resulting huge loss of life. It was democracy that won out, proving much more effective at protecting human life, based as it was on Judeo-Christian values and the intrinsic worth of every person.
Yet, commitment to specific democratic values is not particularly strong according to recent research conducted by the Pew Research Centre, despite the idea of democracy remaining popular. One wonders if people continue to have a good understanding of what our democractic values are, why they matter, and what the alternatives are. The research, which surveyed 34 countries, found:
only 64% of people thought that it was very important to have freedom of speech;
only 64% of people thought it was very important to have freedom of the press;
only 54% of people thought it was very important that opposition parties be able to operate freely;
only 65% of people thought it was very important to have regular elections; and
only 68% of people thought freedom of religion was very important.
The largest shares of the public describing all nine rights and institutions tested as very important are in the United States and Hungary. Yet, even in those two countries only a third (33%) considered all nine democratic principles to be very important.
Interestingly, freedom of religion was the top priority in all three sub-Saharan African nations in the study as well as in Turkey, Indonesia and India. However, it was the lowest priority in several more secular nations, especially in Europe, where the French, Swedes, Spanish and Dutch all rate it their lowest priority, as do Japan, South Korea and Canada. Religious persecution is often significantly under-reported in the Western media, perhaps contributing to these differing views of its importance.
A key problem seems to be the belief that elected officials are completely out of touch with the people they presume to govern. Across the 34 countries surveyed, 64% of people believed elected officials do not care what people like them think. In the United States, 71% shared this view (perhaps a contributing factor to a polarising figure such as Trump unexpectedly winning the presidency). In nearly every nation surveyed, those who think politicians don’t care about average citizens are more likely to be dissatisfied with the way democracy is functioning in their country.
It stands to reason that increasing numbers feel their views are repressed and unheard, because freedom of speech is indeed narrowing. We are increasingly no longer trusted to hear and express a wide range of ideas, the repulsive and attractive alike, and freely make up our own informed minds about what we think, allowing the more repulsive ideas to weaken by their very expression (rather than fester and become stronger in the dark). Instead, an elite group of people, be they politicians, academics or rich corporations with the skewed ideals of their bottom lines, decide what we are allowed to hear or even think; their reasoning often puts the protection of minority groups from harm or offence above freedom of speech, sometimes very nobly. But the fundamental problem is, who gets to decide what ideas can be freely discussed once we decide many views will be censored?
Freedom of speech can be understood as a multi-faceted right that includes not only the right to express, or disseminate, information and ideas, but also:
the right to seek information and ideas (this concerns the people who want to listen to the ideas to get to the truth of a matter);
the right to receive information and ideas; and
the right to impart information and ideas.
Quotes you have probably heard before include: “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”, and “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.” For people to feel listened to in a functioning democracy, and perhaps counter-intuitively to also rid ourselves of the more extreme ideas, we need to protect the right to safely and freely debate a range of ideas. There is no need for freedom to discuss ideas everybody likes.
No matter what the system, ultimately a just society depends on the individuals within it possessing virtue and behaving in a virtuous manner. No human rights or constitutional documents will save us if virtue is absent from the hearts of individuals, and faith in the system and society is lost. Our constitutional systems do not uphold themselves.
Perhaps a survey like this shows individuals need to take more time to understand democracy and its alternatives, taking into account how the various systems have worked in practice in history and their track records in upholding the dignity of people and the value of their lives. Then, if we indeed still believe in them, we might need to be more explicit about making sure future generations understand the value of democratic principles like freedom of speech.
In which country where the press is strictly controlled, ideas are not able to debated, and opposition is suppressed would the people who answered that these values are not ‘very important’ like to live in I wonder.

The T.C. Beirne School of Law at the University of Queensland was established by a £20,000 donation from Thomas Charles Beirne, a devout Catholic businessman and Papal Knight who was warden of the University from 1928 to 1941. The vast tract of beautiful riverside land on which the university sits in St Lucia was donated by pioneering doctor and Catholic philanthropistJames O’Neil Mayne.
One wonders what these two benefactors would think of the current push by students to remove the Dean of Law, Professor Patrick Parkinson, for making “transphobic” remarks in The Australian, on February 14. Reporter Bernard Lane wrote:
University of Queensland law dean Patrick Parkinson, speaking in a personal capacity, conceded authorities would be worried and busy with the coronavirus but said the explosion in transgender-identifying teenagers, chiefly girls, was “another epidemic” — one that had “so far escaped public attention”.
“Social contagion” via online platforms — such as Tumblr, Reddit and YouTube — and peer groups is suspected to be a factor in the rapid rise of atypical teenage cases of the condition “gender dysphoria”, or distress about the conflict between the body and an inner feeling of “gender identity”.
The School of Law should not be figureheaded by an individual who does not uphold discrimination, vilification and human rights protections. Further, it is highly unprofessional to breach The University of Queensland’s official policy on LGBTQIA+ people, especially when transgender and gender diverse people work and study at the institution …
We call for Prof. Patrick to cease and desist his discriminatory, vilifying behaviour or to be removed from The University of Queensland.
As of writing, the petition has garnered 432 signatures.
Emmett seems to misunderstand what Parkinson said. The professor compared the explosion of transgender-identifying teens to the coronavirus epidemic, not the teens themselves to the virus.
“[A] crisis of conscience may arise from a genuine belief that it is not in the best interests of the child or young person to affirm his or her transgender identification, any more than it would be in the best interests of an adolescent girl with an eating disorder to affirm her body image as overweight.”
Parkinson is not alone in issuing these warnings. Miranda Yardley, a 52-year-old transsexual who was the first person in Britain to be sued for committing the “hate crime” of making “transphobic” remarks on Twitter, wrote:
There seems to me something uniquely cruel in telling children their bodies are wrong because they do not match the interests our culture deems appropriate for their sex. The adults who promote this lethally toxic culture should feel ashamed of themselves. Of course, they never will: they are fanatics.
While transgender advocates have derided the notion that the sudden surge in trans identified teens – and natal female teens in particular – could be influenced by social contagion, the idea is not so far-fetched. Bulimia was virtually unknown until the 1970s, when British psychologist Gerald Russell first described the condition in a medical journal. Author Lee Daniel Kravetz interviewed Russell for his recent book Strange Contagion. According to Russell, “once it was described, and I take full responsibility for that with my paper, there was a common language for it. And knowledge spreads very quickly.” Scientists have been able to track bulimia’s transmission even into culturally remote enclaves following the introduction of Western media sources. It is estimated that bulimia has since affected 30 million people.
People with body integrity identity disorder claim to be “transabled”, longing for amputations of perfectly healthy limbs, or wilful blinding. Should we also affirm them in their quest to become physically disabled? What about “transracial” people?
A chilling effect
Meanwhile in the UK, University of Exeter economics professor Dr Eva Poen has been accused of transphobia by feminist and LGBT students for tweeting: “Only female people menstruate. Only female people go through menopause.”
She also tweeted in response to insurance company Aviva promoting LGBT+ inclusion in sports:
“Let’s keep female sports for FEMALE PEOPLE. Stay in your lane, Aviva. We don’t tell you how to do insurance; it would be great if you could stop telling women to give up their hard earned place in society. Women’s sport is not yours to give away.”
Adam Deloit, the 22-year-old transgender representative of the university’s LGBTQ+ society, states:
“What she is doing isn’t a debate. It’s constant harassment and discrimination. I don’t think anyone who sees her tweets can say that they are not an attack on trans people. She can try to define us out of our existence, but we are still here. The fact the university tolerates her is really frustrating.”
A spokeswoman for the university’s feminist society said:
“The university must investigate the allegations thoroughly and look at it from, if nothing else, a well-being standpoint for groups of students within that community.”
In 2018, the Bristol University student union backed proposals to ban any TERF (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist) speakers who questioned whether men who identified as women were actually women.
In 2017, 60-year-old Maria MacLachlan was beaten up at Speaker’s Corner in London’s Hyde Park by young trans-identifying men, enraged that she was about to attend a feminist talk entitled, “What is Gender”.
Why are trans activists so afraid of questions and statements which are grounded in basic biology? So much for inclusivity and a grasp on reality, not to mention common civility! Must the whole world conform to their perception? Do “trans rights” override the basic human right of free speech?
Detransitioners scarred for life
The growing trend of detransitioners speaking out about their irreversible physical and mental scars from rushed transitions should give us pause for thought. There are now rapidly-expanding groups on Reddit and Tumblr for those suffering transgender regret.
A few years ago, there were a few detransitioners on Youtube talking about their experiences, but not many. Now, there appears to be almost as many people talking about their transition failures as there are people talking about their transition successes… Many of the teen detransitioners on Youtube cite falling into trans activist circles online as a contribution to the mistake they made.
… there is the problem of bias reinforcement. For adolescents struggling to understand themselves and their place in the world, a self-diagnosis as transgender can offer seemingly easy answers. But clinicians shouldn’t be “affirming” that sort of self-diagnosis on a no-questions-asked basis …
The detransitioners I see in my practice are all female, and they are all in their early twenties. At the time they became trans-identified, many were suffering from complex social and mental health issues. Transition often not only failed to address these issues, but at times exacerbated them or added new issues. These young women often became derailed from educational or vocational goals during their period of trans identification.
Twenty-three-year-old Keira Bell, who is now suing the Tavistock clinic in London for facilitating her sex transition, told the BBC:
“I should have been challenged on the proposals or the claims that I was making for myself… I was allowed to run with this idea that I had, almost like a fantasy, as a teenager… and it has affected me in the long run as an adult.”
The Christian Post reports that 41-year-old Marcus Fitz in California “believes it’s important that people learn about the deceptive practices at gender clinics that push cross-sex hormones and transgender surgeries, which he says have left him psychologically scarred, physically mutilated, and with a severely compromised endocrine system.”
When she was 15, Livia was diagnosed with severe anorexia. “It’s so scary to realise that my anorexic thoughts were about [hating] my female body,” she tells a stunned room. “I really wish someone had been there to tell me not to get that body castrated at 21.”
Ovulation is essential for women’s health. Canadian endocrinology professor Jerilynn Priorstates: “women benefit from 35 to 40 years of ovulatory cycles, not just for fertility but also to prevent osteoporosis, stroke, dementia, heart disease, and breast cancer.” What does the future hold for trans-men who have had their reproductive organs removed?
And what could happen to trans-women? The British Medical Journal published a study last year showing that men who take oestrogen to transition develop a 46-fold higher risk of breast cancer; the World Health Organization published a report in 2015 noting the measurably higher risk of cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancer faced by women who transition while retaining their genitalia.
Meanwhile, a study published in the American journal Pediatrics found that among transgender-identifying people, “the percentage of people who attempted suicide and were hospitalised in the last 12 months was DOUBLE for those who had blockers (45.5% versus 22.8%).”
Follow the money
The ABC’s Four Corners recently reported on an 11-year-old receiving puberty blockers, “one of a small but growing cohort of children around Australia seeking treatment because they don’t identify as either a boy or a girl.” She was diagnosed with gender dysphoria when she was only nine.
TomBoyX,Luna Pads, and Thinx corporations have all used the healthy breast amputations of young women in their ad campaigns, normalizing body dissociation and mutilations as self-expression, with barely any criticism in mainstream media.
Positive publicity on ABC’s Four Corners has been credited with a A$6 million grant to Australia’s most popular youth gender clinic.
Doing right by our children
Considering the well-documented physical and mental health implications of puberty blockers and sex change surgery, is it not irresponsible of our government, media and health institutions to keep advocating affirmation of gender dysphoria, particularly in vulnerable, malleable children?
Professor Parkinson is a specialist in family law and child protection. Instead of trying to quash his words, spoken from experience and a place of deep concern, we ought to act on his urgent warnings before even more youth are permanently maimed.

It’s ridiculous to slander Australian legal academic Patrick Parkinson as ‘transphobic’
President Donald Trump said Thursday that he doesn’t support House Democrats’ coronavirus relief bill in its current form because it includes too many “goodies” that have nothing to do with the disease.
Although the bill addresses providing testing and masks to respond to the coronavirus, it also expands unemployment insurance and food stamps, requires the Social Security Administration to provide paid sick leave, and mandates that employers give paid permanent sick leave to their employees.
A reporter asked Trump at the White House if he supports the legislation.
“No, because there are things in there that have nothing to do with things we are talking about,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office as he sat with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.
In these trying times, we must turn to the greatest document in the history of the world to promise freedom and opportunity to its citizens for guidance. Find out more now >>
“It’s not a way for them to get some of the goodies that they haven’t been able to get for the last 25 years,” the president said of House Democrats.
As of Thursday afternoon, there were 36 deaths in the U.S. from the new coronavirus disease, called COVID-19, with a total of 1,215 diagnosed cases across 42 states and the District of Columbia, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Trump delivered a prime-time address to the nation Wednesday night in which he announced a ban on travel to the U.S. from most European countries and proposed a payroll tax cut and assistance for industries and employees hit hard by the virus.
The president previously restricted travel from China, where the virus originated.
“The Families First Coronavirus Response Act is focused directly on providing support for America’s families, who must be our first priority in this emergency,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a public statement.
The spread of the coronavirus has prompted calls for more government action. The Democrats’ bill includes free coronavirus testing, paid emergency leave for up to 14 days, and more protections for health care workers who might come in contact with infected people.
“We cannot fight coronavirus effectively unless everyone in our country who needs to be tested knows they can get their test free of charge,” Pelosi said. “We cannot slow the coronavirus outbreak when workers are stuck with the terrible choice between staying home to avoid spreading illness and the paycheck their family can’t afford to lose.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., contended that the Democrats are playing politics, but said Congress should remain in session until it gets the bill right.
During the Oval Office session, Trump elaborated on why he excluded the United Kingdom from the ban on travel from Europe.
“One of the reasons [is] the U.K. basically has got the border … it has got very strong borders, and they are doing a very good job,” Trump said. “They don’t have very much infection at this point, and hopefully they keep it that way.”
Trump said life and death issues guide his decisions in dealing with coronavirus:
The question is how many people will die? I don’t want people dying. That’s what I’m all about. I made a very tough decision last night [with the European travel ban] and a very tough decision a long time ago with respect to China. I don’t want people dying, and that’s why I made these decisions.
The president said the stock market is stronger now than when he came into office and predicted it will bounce back.
“Whether it affects the stock market or not [is] very important, but it’s not important compared to life and death,” Trump said. “Frankly, the people that are professionals praised the decision. It’s something I had to do. I think you’ll see the end result is very good because of it, but it will take a period of time.”
Trump said he is “not concerned” about reports that a member of a Brazilian delegation who tested positive for COVID-19 had contact with him last weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham issued a statement later, however.
“Exposures from the case are being assessed, which will dictate next steps,” Grisham said, adding:
Both the president and vice president had almost no interactions with the individual who tested positive and do not require being tested at this time.
As stated before, the White House Medical Unit and the United States Secret Service [have] been working closely with various agencies to ensure every precaution is taken to keep the first and second families and all White House staff healthy.
Kelvin Droegemeier, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, announced Thursday that he held a conference call with government science officials from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, and Britain on how to tackle the pandemic.
He said the officials talked about sharing more data, how artificial intelligence can be used, and data-sharing repositories.
In the Oval Office session with reporters, Trump was asked if larger quarantine zones in the United States are an option.
“It’s a possibility if somebody gets a little bit out of control, if an area gets too hot,” Trump said. “You see what they are doing in New Rochelle, which is good frankly, but it’s not enforced. It’s not very strong. But people know they are being watched. It’s a hot spot.”
A reporter asked the Irish and American leaders if they shook hands.
They replied that they hadn’t, and instead placed their own palms together in greeting, which was “sort of a weird feeling,” Trump said.
The president said that in India and Japan, where he has visited, shaking hands is less customary.
“They were ahead of the curve,” he said.
Trump acknowledged his reputation as a bit of a germaphobe before entering politics.
“I was never a big hand-shaker as you probably have heard, but once you become a politician, shaking hands is very normal,” he said.
The Irish prime minister followed by saying, “It almost feels like you’re being rude, but we just can’t afford to think like that for the next few weeks.”
This is a critical year in the history of our country. With the country polarized and divided on a number of issues and with roughly half of the country clamoring for increased government control—over health care, socialism, increased regulations, and open borders—we must turn to America’s founding for the answers on how best to proceed into the future.

The Democratic Party is now confronted with a dilemma. Its two possible presidential nominees are perhaps equally unpalatable, though for different reasons. Socialist Bernie Sanders is, the establishment believes from a practical standpoint, ideologically unfit; Joe Biden is a garrulous gaffe machine who is mentally unfit. Yet what if, contrary to popular belief, neither man ends up being the nominee? There are other possibilities.
Prior to the South Carolina primary and Super Tuesday, many were dismayed that the Democrats seemed poised to nominate an unattractive, wizened, charmless avowed socialist. Thus did the Democrat establishment throw its weight behind Biden.
Yet the ex-vice president is clearly in mental decline. I say this in no spirit of cruelty or mockery; most of us have seen an elderly person deteriorate and know it’s the saddest of events. But the reality is that what we’re witnessing this campaign season isn’t just the old gaffe-prone, tall-tale-telling, Walter Mitty-like Biden.
Aside from calling Super Tuesday “Super Thursday,” saying he was running for the “Senate,” thinking he was in Vermont when in New Hampshire and slurring and fumbling words, he also on multiple occasions couldn’t recall Barack Obama’s name. Since this is the president Biden served under for eight years, this is a bit like his forgetting the name of his wife — who, mind you, he recently confused with his sister.
Note here that Biden has had two cranial aneurysms that required surgery. Not only can these conditions cause brain damage, but Biden was told before the second procedure that he had only a 35 to 50 percent chance of emerging from it “completely normal.” Add to this that he’s now 77 years old and, well, do the math.
Of course, the Democrat establishment has to be intensely aware of Biden’s unfitness for office. Yet they’re choosing him to be President Trump’s opponent. Or are they? For there are ways to solve the Biden-Bernie (B&B) dilemma.
First, while the chances of it are now low, there could still be a brokered Democratic convention. If this happens, the delegates — under the sway of the Democrat establishment — could conceivably nominate someone other than Biden or Sanders, such as Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama.
A signal that the establishment desires this outcome could be if, after “evening things up” on Super Tuesday, it appears to ease off supporting Biden. I consider this unlikely, though. Brokered conventions are messy, and it would be difficult shaping the primary voting well enough to reliably effect such an outcome, anyway.
Now let’s discuss what’s perhaps more likely. It’s hard to imagine that Biden hasn’t undergone a neurological exam, especially with his access to the very best health care (though an elderly person can be in denial and refuse such tests). It’s also hard to imagine that such examination would find normal functioning. This can make one wonder what perhaps is being hidden — and what might be revealed when the right time comes.
When might this be? It has been said that the ex-vice president is deteriorating rapidly. If he is in even worse shape come July and party elders and those close to him (e.g., his wife) can persuade him to step aside, he could be replaced. The rules on who’d choose his replacement are clear, too: the Democratic National Committee would, via a meeting of its hundreds of members.
The DNC could then choose Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama or someone else. There are complicating factors, such as state laws governing replacing candidates on the ballot, but these could likely be “worked out.”
This solves the B&B dilemma: a DNC-aided Biden takes out Bernie, and then DNC cajoling takes out Biden. A stumbling block is that Biden would have to agree to withdraw, and he may not be amenable to this if in denial. Then again, mentally compromised people are easy to manipulate (“Sign this, Joe; it’s just a routine form!”).
If Biden does remain in the race and somehow wins the presidency — and with media bias, vote fraud and Big Tech meddling this isn’t entirely unimaginable — it’s unfathomable that he could function as commander in chief. If he didn’t voluntarily step down, he could become the first president removed under the 25th Amendment for mental incapacity.
Under this scenario, his vice presidential pick takes on unprecedented significance. (Biden himself acknowledged this in January, undermining his viability by saying that his running mate would have to be able to “immediately” replace him because he’s “an old guy.”)
In fact, we’d have to wonder: Could his VP choice be Hillary Clinton? While her ego would normally preclude her from playing second fiddle to Biden, the opportunity could be irresistible if she’s in on the scheme and knows he’ll be removed and she’ll end up top dog.
For that matter, though, Biden’s pick could be Elizabeth Warren, to try to appease the radical left wing and bolster the women’s vote; or a non-white candidate, such as Stacey Abrams or Andrew Yang (who appeals to the young).
What’s for sure is that the B&B dilemma is real, Joe Biden is unfit to be commander in chief, and the DNC knows it. If he ever did ascend to the presidency, it’s inconceivable that he’d be long for the office.

INTRODUCTION:In order to continue the Islamic war against Israel and the Jews, no libel, no matter how mythical, may be abandoned. No matter the passage of 14 centuries, his followers are mindlessly bound to suffer Mohammed’s dream of world conquest.
Fernando Alcoforado’s dissertation, “Radicalism Palestinian not justify genocide in Gaza,” was published on Academia.com despite its numerous inaccuracies. I am not surprised. Whether devoid of ethics or in support of a political agenda, their published material can be fallacious and unreliable.
The writer’s title alone revisits the Palestinians’ false accusations of genocide by Israelis. Substantial documentation produced by Doctors Without Borders has shown that massacres, as in Jenin, were staged with corpses exhumed from nearby cemeteries. We know that UNRWA’s schools teach hate and violence against Jews and Israel, Palestinian women and children are used as human shields at rocket-launching sites, and children are used to ignite and float explosive balloons and for constructing terror tunnels – dangerous and deadly activities. This is not genocide, but child abuse and human sacrifice, where leadership and families weaponize their children for an interminable war. And when the children are martyred, their parents are paid handsomely by Hamas/PA.
Alcoforado shrewdly inserted that Gaza has existed since Antiquity, insinuating that the Palestinians did likewise. Although the landmass has certainly existed since Ancient times, there was never a Palestinian state, people, government, monetary system, or culture until 1967. After Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon attacked Israel and lost the war, those caught in the crossfire and trapped in Gaza were barred from returning to their native homelands. They fabricated this attachment to the land, but the indigenous people of Israel are the Jews, also known as Hebrews and Israelites.
Our academic bemoans the Gazans’ suffering from a dearth of industry and a chronic water shortage. We agree, but the reason lies firmly with the Palestinian Authority (PA) and can be characterized in one word, Dependence. The PA receives, arguably, the highest level of aid in all the world, $540 million for 5 million people including succeeding generations, compared with, say, $113 million for Burundi’s 10 million people, or $304 million for Cameroon’s 23 million people. Funds meant for providing enough electricity and infrastructure to run Gaza’s sewage system, water purification, construction, agriculture, healthcare delivery and essential medical supplies, are filtered through the fingers of the corrupt PA. An unemployed population serves as the endless, expendable live ammunition in its war against Israel, but also as PA’s milch cow, so that their leadership may continue to live in grandeur.
The Jews were never tempted with dependence on others. Notwithstanding overwhelming obstacles, Israel’s pioneers battled malaria to drain the swamps of Galilee, which then exposed the toxic peat beneath, resulting in the death of wildlife. It took tenacity and commitment to nature and science for the Israelis to make the desert blossom again, and blossom it did. The Arabs chose another course.
Despite its being 60% desert with a tenfold population increase since its founding, Israel has become a superpower in water management and conservation. Their technology is now used 150+ countries, and they export $2.2 billion annually in water-related technology and water-intensive produce. Because Israeli citizens are educated on conserving water, use desalinated sea water for drip irrigation, and treat and recycle nearly all sewage for crops, they are able to provide large amounts of water from their own supplies to Palestinians and the Kingdom of Jordan.
Surely, this could also be done in Gaza, but Palestinian leadership refuses to invest any of the massive aid to develop its own water infrastructure or repair its antiquated system, leading to enormous waste. When Hamas’s rocket attacks on Israel damage Gaza’s pipes, Israel’s water authority makes the repairs. Israel supplies less water to Israeli communities in the disputed territories than is stipulated in the Oslo Accords and transfers the remaining quota to the Palestinians – who merely balk and bask in their victimhood, using the drought as an accusation to discredit Israel to the UN.
When Gaza was under Hamas rule, only 10 percent of the West Bank had modern plumbing in June 1967, but today 96 percent of West Bank Palestinians have clean, safe water piped to their homes in Israel. Contrarily, Gaza’s water crisis continues because Hamas uses the international funding for its war against Israel. If Israel were to withdraw from the West Bank as Alcoforado suggests, it would leave Israel in far more peril. After 1400 years of violence and bloodshed, it would be insanity to believe that Muslims would live in peace based on this researcher’s recommendations.
Our scholar rues the overcrowded conditions in Gaza, one of the most populace places on the map, blaming Israelis, when their countries of origin – Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria – should have accepted their return instead of leaving them hostage. Their cultures keep them imbued with resentment and hate, without incentive for making improvements. Is this inevitable in overcrowded societies?
Consider Brooklyn, New York, the most populous borough, second-most populous county in the US, and a thriving hub of entrepreneurship and high technology start-up firms – a sign of happy lives with no children primed for suicide missions. The differences are largely a matter of choice and culture. Israel has held the honors of 5th through 11th happiest nation over the years; none of the tyrannical 57 Islamic member states even remotely qualifies for the list. Alcoforado joins the PA’s futile efforts to delegitimize Israel while the biased UN continues to fund $1.3 billion and train Palestinians to pursue legal advocacy against the one UN member, Israel.
Whether deceived or brazenly deceitful, Alcoforado states that Palestine, “a British protectorate [until 1948], began to have a growing Jewish population.” He flouts the 3,000 years of continuous Jewish presence in Israel, one of the few ancient peoples to survive into modern times, and Judaism being among the world’s oldest living religions. He omits the history of the Jews who bought neglected, uncultivated swampland or sand dunes from absentee Arab landowners in the mid-1800s to create agricultural colonies, undeterred by backbreaking work and illnesses – as reported to the League of Nations in 1921.
The critic conveniently reports half-truths, asserting that the establishment of a free Jewish state resulted in growing populations of Jews only, failing to mention the Christians, Muslims, and other groups that flourished simultaneously. Israelis developed thriving farms and urban life, industry, power plants, social institutions, universities and the Palestine Orchestra that became the Israeli Philharmonic. They restored their ancient language, Hebrew, and a rich culture. They restored their national independence and welcomed and absorbed the successive waves of returning immigrants and refugees (many fleeing Arab countries). Arabs in Israel appreciated the development and higher standard of living until Haj Amin al-Husseini began fomenting riots (1929), committing massacres and rapes, beheadings, torture and mutilation. It is fair and honest to say that Arabs live better in Israel than in any Islamic country and, when offered the choice of Israeli or Palestinian citizenship, they invariable choose the former.
Alcoforado vaguely observes, ,“There were clashes between Arabs and Jews,” but the attackers were Arabs. Likewise, he added, “Both Israelis and Palestinians claimed this share of the land based on history, religion, and culture,” but Jewish history, religion and culture go back more than 3,000 years, whereas the Palestinians appeared in 1967, and their tenuous Islamic attachment goes back no further than the 7th century of Mohammed. Even the Koran attests that the land was given to the Jews forever (5:21).
“You will find very clearly,” says Sheik Dr Muhammad Al-Husseini, “that the traditional commenters from the eighth and ninth century onward have uniformly interpreted the Koran to say explicitly that Eretz Yisrael has been given by God to the Jewish people as a perpetual covenant. There is no Islamic counterclaim to the land anywhere in the traditional corpus of commentary.” The term, “Palestinian” was an insulting term conferred by the Romans on a Roman Empire outpost to which the Judean Jews were exiled.
Today’s Palestinians have no culture inimitable to them before 1967. Their governance was the Ottomans. Their monetary system, established by the 1994 Paris Protocol, is tied to the rates of Jordan, the US, and Israel. There are no discoveries of ancient artifacts to verify any but the Hebrews’ existence. Their religion is Islam, their common language Arabic with some French. Their own music emerged after 1948. Their “traditional dress,” not traceable beyond 1922, may be attributed to the Arab or Bedouin.
Continually troubled by the “mass migration of Jews from various countries to Palestine,” Alcoforado excludes the context of their return to their Biblical native land and that many had been first fleeced before their expulsion from surrounding Arab countries.
On the other hand, Arab migration is a fulfillment of hegira, “departure,” the migration or journey that fulfills Mohammed’s example of “civilizational jihad.” Mohammed migrated with intent to establish a new base of operations from which to conquer and rule; today’s jihadis do so with intent of populating and dominating new lands. Where they cannot advance with weaponry, they can colonize and transform the society, by stealth or violence, to change the demographics, legal systems and governments of their objective – global submission to sharia and the reestablishment of a caliphate to rule accordingly. Fifty-seven Islamic states have succumbed; Israel, Europe, and the United States are obviously on the Islamic agenda. President Obama assured us of such a fundamental transformation.
If Alcoforado sincerely believes there can be peace with Palestinians, he is gravely under informed and ill-informed. If he speaks on behalf of the Palestinians, as his surname suggests, he has written pure deception, taqiyyah, and it should not be peddled as academic.
