The Culture of Death

November 15, 2021/in Commentary, Culture War, Elections, Healthcare, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Kelleigh Nelson

To cure the genocide of real weapons of war in other lands, and yet sustain the medical genocide of abortion that kills 3000-4000 Americans daily in our own land, is sheer lunacy… [letter written by a woman who experienced two abortions years ago]

Galatians 5:14: “The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” (I think that INCLUDES an unborn child and euthanasia of the elderly.)

How can we possibly believe God is still blessing this nation when we have thrown Him out of every facet of American life? How can we possibly believe God would still bless this nation when we are sacrificing our unborn children to Molech and Ashtaroth at the rate of thousands per day? The innocent dead now total nearly 57 million. It is my firm belief this is why we are losing our once great country at an exponential speed….we’ve turned our back on God. All government corruption and blatant destruction of our freedoms are the result of us leaving our first love, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and His Son, Jesus, the King of Glory.

The decay and moral turpitude of our nation shows how far we’ve sunk in depravity. There is no sin anymore. The churches no longer preach sin and salvation much less the full Bible. Not only are we murdering the innocents in the womb, but euthanasia is accepted as a kind and caring way to pass the elderly from life to death with deprivation of food and hydration. This is, in fact, a terribly painful death. This form of passive euthanasia has been practiced for many decades in America’s nursing homes. Sin used to slink around in the back allies of America, but now the broken sewer spews it’s filth down Main Street America and no one seems to notice.

Obamacare will be fully active in 2013, but we’re already seeing changes in health care that are showing us what socialized medicine will give us. For the first time in my life, I had to pay the surgeon the balance of what our insurance would not cover PRIOR to a surgery taking place. It now takes over a month’s wait to get an appointment for a particular problem, even when you’re a patient. Next year all the Flex plans will be dropped from the maximum of $5000 to a maximum of $2500. For most, this will not even cover the yearly deductible for two people. (Flex plans are untaxed monies held from paychecks in an account by the employer for payment of medical fees not covered by insurance.) All care will be rationed, and the elderly will not even be able to get care after a certain age. Allegedly, after age 76, no cancer treatment will be given.

From Sam Blumenfeld’s article in the New American, “In America, our national healthcare administrators will point out that the elderly require the most expensive medical care to prolong their lives, and that our younger taxpayers cannot afford the burden of keeping these people alive. So various means will be employed to do away with this very large class of citizens: in order to save money!

Treatment will be delayed so that the elderly can die before they can get the treatment they need. Drugs will be developed to permit the elderly to end their lives gracefully. Suicide by the elderly will be considered a patriotic act, and medals will be given to suicide assisters.”

Death of the elderly, the “useless eaters,” those ostensibly no longer able to produce in society in the global work force, are destined for an early demise to “save” the expense of their end-of-life care. The most defenseless in our society are the most at risk.

What we are allowing to be done to America’s babies is truly an abomination. It makes me weep. We are allowing the merchandizing and cannibalizing of our own young. May God have mercy on us. Please watch this video of “Conception to Birth” before you read further.

Aborted Fetal Cells in Food

There’s so much more in the American death parade, but just when you think you’ve heard it all, we find aborted baby fetal cells in our food. Lifenews.com states: Dozens of pro-life groups are calling on pro-life Americans to boycott PepsiCo because it has contracted with a company that uses fetal cells from babies victimized by abortions to test and produce artificial flavor enhancers. Obama’s Security and Exchange Commission rules PepsiCo cannibalizing aborted babies is “Ordinary Business.” Link

LifeNews.com reported on the controversy in March when information came to light showing biotech company Senomyx was found to be testing their food additives using fetal cells from abortions. Senomyx ignored a letter from the pro-life group Children of God for Life, which complained about its practices.

Debi Vinnedge, the director of the group Children of God for Life is calling for a public boycott of major food companies partnering with Senomyx. Vinnedge states, “What they don’t tell the public is that they are using HEK 293 – human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby…”

Related to the supply of the fetus, is the supply of fresh and more mature fetuses. The timing of abortion becomes an important consideration to the researchers and medical community who benefit from a more matured and developed fetus. The majority of abortion procedures are performed between the sixth and eleventh weeks of pregnancy, however delaying until the fourteenth to sixteenth weeks will yield fetal tissue that is usable in pancreatic transplants. Simply put, the older the fetus the more valuable!

After exposing the practice, Vinnedge’s group called for pro-life people to contact the companies using Senomyx to test their products. While some companies stopped contracting with it, others did not. The original list of companies contracted with Senomyx included PepsiCo, Nestle, Kraft, Starbucks, Campbell’s and Nestea. Here is the list of all aborted fetal products.

Vaccines and Cosmetics

Sound Choice for Life Pharmaceuticals has been refused government funding for their research of the link between vaccines and diseases like autism and autoimmunity and autism is a worldwide epidemic! The use of aborted fetal cells for vaccine production has been expanded to now include cosmetics, foods and beverages. Sound Choice has been told their research is TOO CONTROVERSIAL for publication and is not innovative and not significant enough for federal funding. Cell lines taken from electively aborted fetuses are used to manufacture vaccines including MMR lII (mumps, measles, rubella), chickenpox, shingles, Hepatitis A, hepatitis A & B, poliovax, and rabies. Therefore, when inoculating children with these vaccines, we are also injecting them with residual aborted fetal DNA and cellular debris. These contaminants put children at risk for autoimmune disease and gene insertion and mutations. Link

Neocutis is one cosmetic company that uses Senomyx. The company produces anti wrinkle creams that contain cells from a 14 week gestation aborted male baby. It is recommended that we boycott all Neocutis products, especially Bio-Gel Prevedem Journee, Bio-Serum Lumiere, Bio Restorative Skin Cream. Link

Selling Aborted Baby Parts

Aborted babies are being chopped up and sold from abortion clinics every day. Some of these infants are still alive when the technicians (middlemen) step in for the “harvesting” of organs. They literally have to kill the baby a second time. These tiny babies’ body parts end up in Research and Development Labs which are funded by large corporations. The babies’ uses include research, experimentation and product development. Ethics and Medics reports, “The predominant industries engaged in fetal tissue research are components of the emerging life science industry: the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and biologics sectors. The pharmaceutical industry is involved in the discovery, development, production, and marketing of drugs licensed as medications.”

American researchers have engaged in fetal tissue research since the 1930’s. In an article published by the Christian Research Institute Journal in 1992, Scott B. Rae, Professor of Christian Ethics at Talbot School of Theology in Los Angeles, observes: “Abortion clinics stand to reap a substantial increase in revenue simply from the small amount (on average $25 per organ, multiplied by the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed annually) that the nonprofit acquisition organizations offer. ”

Many abortion clinics are paid $1200 a month for fetal corpses. A brain can go for $999, a spinal cord for $325, bone marrow for $350 and both eyes for $75.00. See page 33 of this article, Commercial Markets Created by Abortion where Life Dynamics, Inc. a Texas non-profit pro-life organization founded by Mark Crutcher in 1992, exposes the marketing of aborted babies. The organization is known for its undercover investigations of abortion providers.

Harvesting Tissue

Harvesting fetal tissue is not yet illegal in the US. In fact, the program at five major universities including the University of Washington is in part funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Of course, trafficking in baby parts for profit is a criminal offense. To get around the problem, universities and researchers pay a fee – not for the parts themselves, but for the “cost of extraction.” Shipping and handling costs are extra.

The University of Washington has been supplying Keely Bumsted O’Brien at the University of Auckland, New Zealand with some of her eyeball retinas of elective aborted babies from America. Ian Wishart reported in Investigative Daily about massive industry harvesting pieces of dead children for experiments, research, and/or transplanting into animals. According to Investigative Daily, “Another brokerage is Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) of California. ABR supplied aborted baby brains to be injected into mice, as part of experiments creating a part human/part mouse chimera. The genetically-engineered mice have been given – all courtesy of aborted fetuses from ABR – a human immune system, a human fetal thymus, liver and lymph node. The mice are then infected with HIV as part of AIDS research.”

In an expose` interview on ABC’s 20/20, abortion technician insider, Dean Alberty told of the harvesting of eyes, brains, hearts, limbs, torsos and other body parts for sale to scientific markets for testing and research. The trafficking was taking place inside abortion clinics run by…who else? Planned Parenthood, which is the affiliate of New Zealand’s Family Planning organization.

Alberty was the middle man so to speak. He worked for an agency out of Maryland called the Anatomic Gift Foundation (AGF) which acted as a brokerage between researchers and university medical schools seeking body parts. The clinics would report the races, and gestations of the babies to be aborted each day. AGF would match the “offerings” of these aborted infants with the lists their clients ordered. Alberty and his fellow techs would go to the abortion clinics to dissect and extract exactly what they needed from these innocent infants before decomposition set in. They actually had contractual agreements with the abortion clinics and the clinics supplied lists so AGF could weed out anyone who had STDs or fetal anomalies. Alberty stated, “We were taking eyes, livers, brains, thymuses, and especially cardiac blood…even blood from the limbs that we would get from the veins.”

The most horrific tale was the one Alberty told of seeing wounded babies who had survived the abortion procedure…one he remembered was a pair of twins still moving on the table when the techs arrived to dissect the babies. He said, “The babies were cuddling each other and gasping for breath when the medics moved in for the kill. Even with late term abortions where the baby is killed with a spike to the back of the head prior to exiting the birth canal, babies were still coming out alive. Alberty reported, “The doctor would either break the neck or take a pair of tongs and basically beat the baby until it was dead.” He tells about another incident that haunts him where a woman 26 weeks pregnant was given medication to induce labor and sent to her hotel room where she delivered the baby. She brought the baby back to the clinic. It was laid on a table in a towel and Alberty saw the baby’s arm move. The doctor came in and put a puncture hole in the chest of the living child. This man has to be more than haunted with what he did for a living before he came forward on 20/20.

Women have to give their consent for their babies to be used in research. This is law that cannot be bypassed. However, the consent forms are so generic, the mother has no idea of what type of scientific experiment or research the child might be used for, nor where the remains will be shipped. One wonders if they even read the forms or are verbally told of the remains being used for research.

Conclusion

How depraved and macabre is a society where mankind can do this to their young? Shades of Hitler’s justification wherein the few are sacrificed for the good of the many. I’ve written about the Nuremburg Code of justice resulting from the Nazi war crimes trials after WWII. Link The Nuremburg Code includes 10 principles to guide physicians in human experimentation. Prior to the Nazi war crime tribunals, there was no written code for doctors other than the Hippocratic Oath which today’s abortion doctors seem to have discarded along with their ethics. Mengele had a special penchant for experiments with twins and on eyes, just as the latter is preferred by Ms. O’Brien in the Auckland experiments.

I cannot fathom the pain of abortion on even one human baby, let alone the horror of what these so-called scientists and physicians are perpetrating on remains and on those who survive their abortions. There are no words to express my revulsion of this grotesque and ungodly satanic abomination nor the pain I felt and the tears I shed in writing this article. How can God hold back his wrath? For this alone, our country is doomed. The only thing that will save us from total destruction is national repentance for our sins, pleading for God’s mercy and begging His forgiveness. This vile slaughter must be stopped.

A future article will cover American eugenics and proposed after -birth abortions on babies up to two years of age.

Investigator who helped unravel Russiagate case says next mission is forcing media corrections

November 15, 2021/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Must Read, Policy, Politics, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Geller Report

Taking bets on who wins – the Nazi-inspired press or the one, decent honest man.

Investigator who helped unravel Russia case says next mission is forcing media corrections

Kash Patel says the public was misled for years because reporters were blinded by Trump hatred.

The congressional investigator who played a key role in unraveling the Russia collusion narrative says his next mission is to force the news media to make necessary corrections to the avalanche of false stories they produced over the last many years.

“The course correction that I’ve been trying to work on since I left government service is you have to find a way to correct the media,” Kash Patel told Just the News.

“Because for years, they lied to 50% of the American population who believe everything they said, that Trump was in bed with Russians and Putin and that Trump was getting paid. And Trump knew that Vladimir Putin was using U.S. dollars to kill American soldiers.”

Patel, a former national security prosecutor who worked as chief investigator for the House Intelligence Committee, said the media errors and omissions have extended long after the Russia case to the pandemic because reporters can’t let go of their hatred for former President Donald Trump.

“Their hatred for Donald Trump intentionally blinded their ability to report credibly, and America is finally seeing it,” he said during an interview on the John Solomon Reports podcast.

“Look I’m not celebrating that we’re finally getting to the truth. But I’m pretty upset that our media has gone so far down the toilet. That’s not a free press that we want. That’s not what our founders envisioned when they enshrined the First Amendment and the rights therein.”

Patel is pursuing lawsuits against false stories against him and has created a group called Fight with Kash to help others pressure the media for corrections when warranted.

Patel, who also worked at the Trump National Security Council and Pentagon, said he is heartened by Special Counsel John Durham’s indictments and continuing investigation of the origins and spread of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative by a shady network of partisan operatives and contractors.

He said more indictments are likely and are important for America to regain trust in this FBI and Justice Department.

Nazi Science Still Used by the CIA Against Americans.

November 14, 2021/in National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Regulation, Science, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Save America Foundation

“Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.” – Ralph Ellison

After the Second World War, as Germany was being divided up and the Nazi war machine was being dismantled, the American spies were thick on the ground. They were the early version of a department that would be called the CIA. The CIA was created and actually signed into place by President Truman on July 26, 1947. From the day they were created they have never been the friend or savior of the American people. They have done so many evil jobs around the world, performed unspeakable crimes all in the name of security and safety. Two words Americans seem unable to provide themselves. The CIA is a civilian foreign intelligence organization- apparently. It is supposed to gather human intelligence around the world and then provide that information as intelligence to the President of the United States. It has tactical divisions such as the Special Activities Center. This division is the one used to exert political influence in foreign countries. Trust me, like their work in Africa, they are not working for good but evil.

It trains countries in torture methods, it provides money to terror groups and affects violent changes of government supposedly to complement American political ideologies at that time in history. A shining example was the destruction of strong pro western governments in Africa, like Zimbabwe, that are now communist or Marxist hellholes whose citizens are now living lives that cannot be worse than Hell.

Planned assassinations of world leaders are subject to their operational status. If you think that they were not involved somehow in Kennedys assassination, you are surely misled.

One of their first jobs after being created was to investigate the Nazi propaganda machine and also the scientific experiments being carried out by evil Nazi scientists. ( They also offered a home to the Nazi scientists involved in rocket development as their technology was well ahead of our own. )

One of these experiments that Nazi Germany was very much world leaders in was brain washing – best described by Wikipedia as:- Brainwashing (also known as mind control, menticide, coercive persuasion, thought control, thought reform, and re-education) is the concept that the human mind can be altered or controlled by certain psychological techniques. Brainwashing is said to reduce its subjects’ ability to think critically or independently, to allow the introduction of new, unwanted thoughts and ideas into their minds,^{as well as to change their attitudes, values and beliefs.}

Hmmmmm…..Any of that seem familiar?

Now, America gathered up all the Nazi scientists involved in this program, and under the CIA quietly bought them to the United States. Here, under the direction of the CIA, they perfected the science and the ability to brainwash a nation. (They also bought evil criminal Nazi scientists and professors over here who were experts in propaganda.)

One way the CIA put their now tame scientists to work was that they used the techniques through their secret department in Hollywood, Ca. Here their agents had the film companies to submit their future movies, scripts, lists of actors and also ensured the strengthened grip of the Actors Union. A communist organization.

These scripts and films were edited and brainwashing techniques added. Propaganda that was relevant to the political agenda of the left was also added. Therefore, every movie, TV Show, documentary and many books were filled with indoctrination and propaganda and our nation began its slide into the abyss of ignorance and our acceptance of everything that up to them was foreign and wrong to everyday Americans.

The CIA also used these techniques to alter the minds of our young by using the same brainwashing techniques in music. This was seen in particular in the 1960’s where minds, music, morals, ethics etc. were now controlled by the CIA special teams appointed to do this terrible work. A book I highly recommend is : “Weird scenes inside the Canyon – Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream” written by David McGowan. All your favorite musicians from that era have ties unknown previously to the CIA and the military. The book is available from Amazon for $21.61 and should be a must read to understand the depths of depravity the CIA has always sunk to and the methods of brainwashing and propaganda they have used as a weapon against we, the people.

Their strength and budget has increased dramatically since 9/11 where they failed us. Their budget is secret but is north of $62.8 Billion plus their secret parts that perform work unknown to us but most likely dangerous for freedom and liberty get another secret budget north of $20.7 Billion.

Now America – that is a short synopsis of why Americans were so easy to control during Covid. The unconstitutional orders and mandates, some issued by the CDC or OSHA and therefore unconstitutional as Congress didn’t make some of the laws, that were sucked up by the majority of non critical thinking sheep. Those that wore stupid masks, stayed locked down, shuttered their businesses, went bankrupt, watched hours of brainwashing TV shows, listened to traitors and Devil worshippers like Dr Fauci and his ilk as he lied and lied. Listened to round the clock 24/7 propaganda spewed out by the tame puppets of this Administrations MSM as they lied and lied. The basis of this is if the same lie is told often enough they would be believed. And they were.

Critical thinking and common sense were other targets of these special units of the CIA. They have abolished both from school curriculum nationwide through the Education Department and School teachers unions. Many Americans are totally unable to think for themselves, research, work out what makes sense and what doesn’t. It was also destroyed in higher education facilities where our youth were indoctrinated fully and trained to be good little serfs of a dictatorial tyrannical government warned against by our Founding Fathers.

Is Ensuring Election Integrity Anti-Democratic?

November 14, 2021/in Commentary, Elections, Policy, Politics, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Imprimis Digest

The following is adapted from a talk delivered at Hillsdale College on September 20, 2021, during a Center for Constructive Alternatives conference on “Critical American Elections.”

Sixteen years ago, in 2005, the Carter-Baker Commission on Federal Election Reform issued a report that proposed a uniform system of requiring a photo ID in order to vote in U.S. elections. The report also pointed out that widespread absentee voting makes vote fraud more likely. Voter files contain ineligible, duplicate, fictional, and deceased voters, a fact easily exploited using absentee ballots to commit fraud. Citizens who vote absentee are more susceptible to pressure and intimidation. And vote-buying schemes are far easier when citizens vote by mail.

Who was behind the Carter-Baker Commission? Donald Trump? No. The Commission’s two ranking members were former President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, and former Secretary of State James Baker III, a Republican. Other Democrats on the Commission were former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and former Indiana Congressman Lee Hamilton. It was a truly bipartisan commission that made what seemed at the time to be common sense proposals.

How things have changed. Some of the Commission’s members, Jimmy Carter among them, came out last year to disavow the Commission’s work. And despite surveys showing that Americans overwhelmingly support measures to ensure election integrity—a recent Rasmussen survey found that 80 percent of Americans support a voter ID requirement—Democratic leaders across the board oppose such measures in the strongest terms.

Here, for instance, is President Biden speaking recently in Philadelphia, condemning the idea of voter IDs: “There is an unfolding assault taking place in America today—an attempt to suppress and subvert the right to vote in fair and free elections, an assault on democracy, an assault on liberty, an assault on who we are—who we are as Americans. For, make no mistake, bullies and merchants of fear and peddlers of lies are threatening the very foundation of our country.” Sadly but predicably, he went on to suggest that requiring voter IDs would mean returning people to slavery.

But the fact is that the U.S. is an outlier among the world’s democracies in not requiring voter ID. Of the 47 countries in Europe today, 46 of them currently require government-issued photo IDs to vote. The odd man out is the United Kingdom, in which Northern Ireland and many localities require voter IDs, but the requirement is not nationwide. The British Parliament, however, is considering a nationwide requirement, so very soon all 47 European countries will likely have adopted this common-sense policy.

When it comes to absentee voting, we Americans, accustomed as we are to very loose rules, are often shocked to learn that 35 of the 47 European countries—including France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden—don’t allow absentee voting for citizens living in country. Another ten European countries—including England, Ireland, Denmark, Portugal, and Spain—allow absentee voting, but require voters to show up in person and present a photo ID to pick up their ballots. It isn’t like in the U.S., where a person can say he’s going to be out of town and have a ballot mailed to him.

England used to have absentee voting rules similar to ours in the U.S. But in 2004, in the city of Birmingham, officials uncovered a massive vote fraud scheme in the city council races. The six winning Labor candidates had fraudulently acquired about 40,000 absentee votes, mainly from Muslim areas of the city. As a result, England ended the practice of mailing out absentee ballots and required voters to pick up their ballots in person with a photo ID.

Up until 1975, France also had loose absentee voting rules. But when massive vote fraud was discovered on the island of Corsica—where hundreds of thousands of dead people were found to be voting and even larger-scale vote-buying operations were occurring—France banned absentee voting altogether.

On the topic of buying votes, I should point out that we in the U.S. did not always have secret ballots. It wasn’t until 1880 that the first state adopted the secret ballot, and the last state to adopt it was South Carolina in 1950. Perhaps surprisingly, when secret ballots were adopted, the percentage of people voting fell by about twelve percent. Why was that? Prior to the adoption of the secret ballot, lots of people would get paid for voting. In those days, people voted by placing pieces of colored paper in the ballot box, with different colors representing different parties. Party officials would be present to observe what color paper each voter put into the box, and depending on the color, the voter would often get paid. Secret ballots put an end to this practice.

France learned in 1975 that the use of absentee ballots led to the same practice—it allowed third parties to know how people voted and pay them for voting a certain way. This same problem is now proliferating in the U.S. in the form of “ballot harvesting,” the increasingly common practice where party functionaries distribute and collect ballots.

Defenders of our current voting rules point out that in lieu of absentee voting, some European countries allow “proxy voting,” whereby one person can designate another to vote for him. And while it is true that eight of the 47 European countries allow proxy voting—meaning that 39 do not—there are strict requirements. In five of the eight countries—Belgium, England, Monaco, Poland, and Sweden—proxy voting is limited to those with a disability or an illness or who are out of the country. In Poland, it also requires the approval of the local mayor, and in Monaco the approval of the general secretariat. In France and the Netherlands, proxy voting has to be arranged through a notary public. Switzerland is the only country in Europe with a relatively liberal proxy voting policy, requiring only a signature match.

How about our neighbors, Canada and Mexico? Canada requires a photo ID to vote. If a voter shows up at the polls without an ID, he is allowed to vote only if he declares who he is in writing and if there is someone working at the polling station who can personally verify his identity.

Mexico has had a long history of election fraud. Partly because its leaders were concerned about a drop in foreign investment if it wasn’t perceived to be a legitimate democracy, Mexico recently instituted strict reforms. Voters must present a biometric ID—an ID with not only a photo, but also a thumb print. Voters also have indelible ink applied to their thumbs, preventing them from voting more than once. And absentee voting is prohibited, even for people living outside the country.

Those who oppose election integrity reform here in the U.S. often condemn it as a means of “voter suppression.” But in Mexico, the percent of people voting rose from 59 percent before the reforms to 68 percent after. It turned out that Mexicans were more, not less, likely to vote when they had confidence that their votes mattered.

H.R. 1, the radical bill Democratic Party leaders have been pushing to adopt this year, would prohibit states from requiring voter ID and require states to allow permanent mail-in voting. And mail-in voting, I hardly need to point out, is even worse, in terms of vote fraud, than absentee voting. With absentee voting, a person at least has to request a ballot. With mail-in voting—as we saw in too many places in the 2020 election—ballots are simply mailed out to everyone. With loose absentee voting rules, a country is making itself vulnerable to vote fraud. With mail-in voting, a country is almost begging for vote fraud.

If the rhetoric we hear from the Left today is correct—if voter ID requirements and restrictions on absentee (or even mail-in) voting are un-democratic—then so are the countries of Europe and the rest of the developed world. But this is utter nonsense.

Those opposing common sense measures to ensure integrity in U.S. elections—measures such as those recommended by the bipartisan Carter-Baker Commission in 2005—are not motivated by a concern for democracy, but by partisan interests.

The Anti-Capitalism of the 20th Century Is Back. Will the Story End the Same?

November 13, 2021/in Culture War, Elections, Featured, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Foundation for Economic Education (FEE)

There was a brief pause in America during the 1920s, but overseas the anti-capitalist mindset ran rampant. The consequences were disastrous.

The 20th century was a period of startling technological advancement. Compared to the lifestyle of average people in 1925, most of human history before that time amounted to what we’d now call “camping.”

Just 30 years earlier, most people traveled on foot or by animal power, except when taking trains. They lit their homes with candles and provided themselves with heat mostly by burning wood, just as their prehistoric ancestors had. They went outside to use the bathroom. They died from diseases we brush off today with a 10-day regimen of pills.

The technological explosion in the early 20th century had its roots in the 19th, when what used to be called liberal values informed the Western world. By “liberal,” I mean individual liberty, free markets, and limited government. Today, we call that worldview “classical liberal” or “libertarian” (really the same philosophy at different stages of development) because “liberal” no longer means anything of the sort.

Many people believe the cataclysmic world wars were an inevitable price the world had to pay for too much freedom. That’s the opposite of the truth. The early 20th century saw a violent reaction against the tidal wave of freedom that had swept the world during the previous century. At the center of this anti-liberal sentiment was resentment against free markets.

“Laissez faire is dead,” politicians routinely said. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The anti-capitalist mindset was international and, within America, bipartisan. The Progressive Era became mainstream with Republican president Teddy Roosevelt in the White House. It was under Roosevelt that the seeds of the modern, omnipotent executive branch were planted. Those seeds were given tender-loving care by Woodrow Wilson as he attempted to militarize the economy, hoping wartime anti-capitalist policies would become permanent.

There was a brief pause in America during the 1920s, but overseas the anti-capitalist mindset ran rampant. People have forgotten – or perhaps were never taught – how central anti-capitalist thinking was to Italian fascism and Naziism. That’s why during the 1930s even Hitler had admirers here in the United States. He was seen as a “man who could get things done” in terms of overriding the voluntary relationships of the free market to achieve government-promulgated economic outcomes.

It is also the reason both Hitler and Mussolini praised FDR’s New Deal. No, the New Deal wasn’t quite as totalitarian as what Mussolini or Hitler were doing in Europe. FDR never legally prohibited people from quitting their jobs, as Hitler had done, in order to maintain “full employment.” But as Vincent Vega would say, “it’s the same ballpark.” The New Deal brought the economy under the arbitrary orders of executive branch bureaucrats, where much of it remains to this day.

WWII is widely believed to be a glorious event. Supposedly, the forces of totalitarianism were defeated by the champions of “democracy,” establishing a New World Order (novus ordo seclorum) under which the United States would lead the world in stamping out tyranny forever.

It’s a nice story that is somewhat undermined by the facts. In truth, both world wars were disasters for Western civilization. Yes, Hitler was defeated, but it’s hard to argue in retrospect that bringing half of Europe under the brutal rule of the Soviets, who killed ten times more people than the Nazis and were at least as totalitarian, was a slam dunk win.

Worse yet, the relatively freer societies among the Allies became significantly less free. The United States became a garrison state, first ostensibly to oppose the Soviets, and then terrorism, and now…a virus. The European allies descended into socialism from which they only marginally retreated during the late 20th century. The US now seems eager to repeat their mistakes.

The progenitor of the world wars and everything that followed was the anti-capitalist mindset that swept the world in the first half of the 20th century. It was the belief that political power could improve economic outcomes that led to the rise of dictators like Hitler and Mussolini in Europe and dictators-lite like Wilson and the Roosevelts here in America.

Like a bad sequel, the anti-capitalist mindset is back. While the Republican Party may never have delivered the laissez faire market they campaigned on, they understood the need to at least give it lip service. Why? Because a large segment of their constituents wanted to hear it. And that sentiment among a large segment of the public – even if not a majority – is the only thing that can check further destruction of our liberty.

Now, with “economic nationalism” on the right and “democratic socialism” on the left dominating the thinking of close to 100 percent of the population, we are back to the near-unanimous contempt for laissez faire markets that defined the 1930s. And this time, the nation states are armed with nuclear and biological weapons.

How will this latest epidemic of anti-capitalist thinking end?

One of AOC’s Worst Green New Deal Ideas is Included in Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ Plan

November 13, 2021/in Economy, Elections, Energy, Environment, Policy, Politics, Science, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Foundation for Economic Education (FEE)

The plan would simply waste money, create zero jobs on net, and do nothing to mitigate climate change.

The fate of President Biden’s multi-trillion-dollar social spending agenda, the “Build Back Better” plan, has consumed the political conversation in recent weeks. Amid all the furious attempts at reading political tea leaves, a curious fact has flown under the radar: The latest iteration of Biden’s plan includes one of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s worst ideas.

“Happy to announce creation of a US Civilian Climate Corps is now in the Build Back Better Act,” the far-left congresswoman recently tweeted. Referencing the public works “job creation” scheme first proposed as part of the Green New Deal, Ocasio-Cortez claimed the initiative will create 300,000 jobs while combating the “climate crisis” and “environmental injustice.”

Happy to announce creation of a US Civilian Climate Corps is now in the Build Back Better Act.🌎

Estimated to create 300k+ public jobs w/ Dept of Labor + Americorps to combat the climate crisis & enviro injustices.

We 1st outlined the vision for it here: pic.twitter.com/i1K2E1TIHg

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 3, 2021

Indeed, a perusal of White House communications makes it clear that the plan for a Civilian Climate Corps—not long ago considered a radical pipe dream—is now part of the president’s plan.

“The Build Back Better Framework will create a Civilian Climate Corps with over 300K members that look like America,” the official White House Twitter account wrote. “This workforce will conserve public lands, bolster community resilience, address the changing climate, and put good-paying union jobs within reach for more people.”

“Climate change has become a climate crisis,” Vice President Kamala Harris similarly said in a speech promoting the plan. “But today we know that this moment of crisis is also a moment of opportunity… an opportunity to create good, union jobs.”

“Once these bills are passed… young people will join our new Civilian Climate Corps,” she continued. “These are the opportunities we have within our grasp right now.”

— The White House (@WhiteHouse) October 31, 2021

With the proposal gaining momentum in Washington, DC, it’s well worth examining its actual merits. And even a cursory glance reveals that in reality the plan would simply waste money, create zero jobs on net, and do nothing to mitigate climate change.

According to Fox News, the latest bill text allocates $8 billion in taxpayer funds for this Civilian Climate Corps initiative. That’s a sizable sum that could be spent elsewhere—or better yet, left in our pockets to begin with. Yet under the Biden-AOC plan, the federal government would use that $8 billion to create well-paying jobs for young people who want to be employed full-time doing environmental activism and community projects.

Yet the claim that this would “create” jobs is false, at least on net. Sure, it would “create” some jobs in this new Climate Corps. But the government cannot create resources out of thin air. Whatever money it spent to put these climate change activists to “work” would have to, directly or indirectly, come from elsewhere in the economy.

As Henry Hazlitt wrote in Economics in One Lesson, “It is highly improbable that the projects thought up by the bureaucrats will provide the same net addition to wealth and welfare, per dollar expended, as would have been provided by the taxpayers themselves, if they had been individually permitted to buy or have made what they themselves wanted, instead of being forced to surrender part of their earnings to the state.”

Simply put, a dollar spent paying a 19-year-old to plant flowers is a dollar not spent by a private company paying them to deliver food, and so on. So, there’s no reason at all to believe a Civilian Climate Corps would create jobs on net.

Perhaps most damning, the Civilian Climate Corps would make a statistically negligible difference in reducing US carbon emissions, the stated goal of the Biden administration’s plans. Even halting all US vehicle emissions would barely make a dent in global emission levels, and make-work schemes like this would have no noticeable impact, simply as a matter of scale. Even many supporters of the idea acknowledge this.

“Emissions reduction, obviously, is the goal we need to achieve for the sake of safety,” Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse said. “To be clear, I support a Civilian Climate Corps. It just doesn’t measurably reduce emissions.”

So, if a Civilian Climate Corps wastes billions, creates zero jobs, and doesn’t even help the climate, why on Earth has President Biden included it in his spending agenda? Whatever his reasons, wasting $10 billion on AOC’s fever dreams is a raw deal for American taxpayers.

The Doublethink of Biden’s ‘Build Back Worse’ Agenda

November 13, 2021/in Culture War, Elections, Must Read, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Dr. Rich Swier

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” ― George Orwell, 1984

It seems that not a moment goes by before either Biden, one of his handlers, the White House, Democrats, liberals and the media, both legacy and social, come up with an idea that is patently absurd. Then they, using doublethink, twist it until it becomes a critically needed public policy.

It is now clear that Biden, his administration and Democrats, with the support of RINO Republicans, are doublethinkers par excellence.

The Biden administration has a malignant case of doublethink. For example, Biden says his Build Back Better agenda will cost $0 but in fact it has already cost $ trillions, e.g. Democrats infrastructure Bill. Watch as Joe Biden stands firm over debunked zero-cost, 3.5T BBB spending plan. Of course it takes a reporter from Communist Vietnam to explain it to us.

This is doublethink, coupled with circular reasoning, at its best. Biden begins with a fallacy that his agenda costs nothing, when logic says it must cost something. Biden’s Orwellian pragmatic defect.

Build Back Better is actually Build Back Worse!

What we are witnessing daily is Democrat doublethink. Doublethink is a process of indoctrination whereby the subject is expected to simultaneously accept two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in contravention to one’s own memories or sense of reality.

Doublethink and Circular Reasoning in the Biden Administration.

Orwell defines doublethink as:

To know and to not know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy is impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy. To forget, whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself.

Doublethink requires circular reasoning to become public policy. We’re literally watching uncontested absurdities become public policy!

Examples of Democrat Double Think [DDT]

Let’s look at some public statements made by Democrats.

On MSNBC’s MTP Daily, Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal responded on how to address soaring gas prices using doublethink by stating,

“It isn’t really that you have to reduce the gas price, what you have to do is reduce the costs for families… But again, I want to say that it isn’t — the gas price is an indication for families of other things that they are feeling. It isn’t really that you have to reduce the gas price, what you have to do is reduce the costs for families so that they can manage.

In the below tweet by Biden’s nominee for Comptroller of the Currency Saule Omarova states, “There will be no more private bank deposit accounts and all of the deposit accounts will be held directly at the fed.”

Proposal by Biden’s Treasury nominee Saule Omarova:

— Jewish Deplorable (@TrumpJew2) November 12, 2021

White House Press Secretary Psaki said, “Our view is that the rise in gas prices over the long term makes an even stronger case for doubling down our investment and our focus on clean energy options so we are not relying on the fluctuations and OPEC and their willingness to put more supply and meet the demand in the market.”

— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) November 12, 2021

Finally back to Saule Omarova saying that in order to save the planet we must bankrupt the fossil fuels industries. Watch Omarova state, “We want them to go bankrupt if we want to tackle climate change.”

— BidenNoms, A Project of AAF (@bidennoms) November 9, 2021

Finally here is Al Gore wanting “big brother” to watch you if you oppose Biden’s climate change agenda. Watch Al Gore’s latest ‘solution’ to Climate Change is mass surveillance:

This is pure Democrat Doublethinking. It is reminiscent of George Orwell’s 1984 double think: “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”

For Democrats ignorance is their only strength.

In a Wall Street Journal The Editorial Board column titled “Inflation and Building Back Worse” warned,

For something we’re told is “transitory,” inflation sure is persistent. The latest evidence arrived with a jolt Wednesday when the Labor Department reported that consumer prices jumped 0.9% in October, or 6.2% from a year ago and the fifth straight month higher than 5%.

That’s also the fastest rate since 1990, despite reassurances since March from the White House, Federal Reserve and Keynesian economists that inflation would soon vanish. It follows Tuesday’s report that wholesale prices rose 0.6% in October, or 8.6% from a year earlier. Producer prices flow into consumer prices, assuming businesses believe they have enough market power.

That’s not all the bad news. In a separate report Wednesday, the Labor Department said average hourly earnings after inflation fell 0.5% in the month. Real wages are down 2.2% since January. American purchasing power has declined, and the average standard of living has fallen, despite unheard of levels of government spending. [Emphasis added]

Read more.

Conclusion

The best way to get out of a circular thinking argument is to ask for more evidence, proof or facts. While Democrats say they believe in science they in-fact ignore science when it doesn’t fit their political agenda.

Biden is building back worse in every conceivable way. From forcing people to get jabbed or lose their jobs, to bankrupting America, to Biden’s inflationary policies to taxing the rich to designating parents “domestic terrorists.”

Just like the White House Press Secretary spouting that we Americans must “double down” on advancing Biden’s green agenda after Biden’s own policies caused the energy crisis in the first place. If this isn’t doublethink I don’t know what is!

It is all part of the big plan. It is the joining of Critical Theory and Intersectionality.

Douglas Kellner in his book Critical Theory, Marxism, and Modernity wrote:

“As we move into the 1990s critical theory might help produce theoretical and political perspectives which could be part of a Left Turn that could reanimate the political hopes of the 1960s, while helping overcome and reverse the losses and regression of the 1980s.”

Biden and his administration are now reversing the losses of Marxism in the 1980 collapse of the former Soviet Union. Biden is making a hard left turn to bring back the 1960 ideal of socialism.

Biden’s Build Back Worse agenda is morphing from a cultural war into a full blown Bolshevik Revolution. The Russian Revolution of 1917 involved the collapse of an empire under Tsar Nicholas II and the rise of Marxian socialism under Lenin and his Bolsheviks. The causes of the Bolshevik Revolution were widespread inflation and food shortages in Russia after World War I.

We are now seeing widespread inflation and supply chain issues that have led to food shortages.

Ukrainian-Russian Marxist revolutionary, political theorist and politician, Leon Trotsky warned:

“In a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation. The old principle: who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced by a new one: who does not obey shall not eat.”

Today we are seeing a growing number of Americans who “vote for a living” rather than work for a living. Employers are now competing with government welfare handouts for workers.

Biden’s Woke Cultural Revolution (a.k.a. the Great Reset) mirrors Mao’s Cultural Revolution which destroyed China’s economy and traditional culture, with an estimated death toll ranging from hundreds of thousands to 20 million.

Gird your loins. It will get worse before is gets better, no pun intended.

U.S. to Spend $200 Million More for Illegal Immigrant Minor Shelters

November 13, 2021/in Featured, Immigration, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Taxes, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Judicial Watch

It seems the Biden Administration is operating the border under an “if you build it, they will come” strategy. Millions of your tax dollars are going to accommodate the tidal wave of people entering this country, as our Corruption Chronicles blog reports.

Months after disbursing more than $65 million for extra shelters to accommodate the never-ending influx of illegal immigrant minors, the Biden administration is quietly allocating hundreds of millions more for additional facilities. The money is flowing through the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), a well-funded branch of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) charged with providing care to illegal aliens under the age of 18, classified by the government as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC). HHS funds and oversees around 170 state-licensed care facilities to house the young migrants when they arrive from foreign countries south of the border and it simply is not enough.

As of the end of October there are approximately 10,680 UAC in ORR care, according to the latest government figures. It marks a sharp increase from 4,020 in February. American taxpayers provide the young migrants with an array of services including classroom education, mental and medical health care, legal counsel, and a variety of recreational activities. Uncle Sam also spends millions to furnish many of the illegal aliens with services after they are released from U.S. custody, especially those considered to be “at risk” or display “special needs.” Most UAC in U.S. custody are not children but rather young adults or adolescents. In fact, 72% are 15 to 17 years old and 68% are boys. The majority are from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.

Around six months ago the Biden administration gave $65,366,800 to seven groups throughout the country that will supply more housing for UAC. “ORR has been identifying additional permanent capacity to provide shelter for recent increases in apprehensions of Unaccompanied Children (UC) at the Southwest Border,” according to the grant announcement published in the Federal Register. “The addition of permanent capacity is a prudent step to ensure that ORR is able to meet its responsibility, by law, to provide shelter and appropriate services for UC referred to its care by the Department of Homeland Security.” The biggest chunk of money—$27,767,725—went to the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS), a faith-based nonprofit that works to embrace and empower all migrants and refugees. The second largest allocation—$14,135,642—filled the coffers of a business (Baptiste Group) that was stripped of its license in Tennessee after three employees were charged with sexual battery at one of its government-funded facilities in Chattanooga. The rest was divided between Bethany Christian Service ($7,018,576), Child Crisis ($5,780,118), Catholic Guardian Services ($5,183,433) and Center for Family Services ($1,665,980). An additional $3.8 million flowed to a LIRS branch called Safe Release Expansion that gives illegal immigrant minors services after they are released.

Less than a week ago, the administration posted another grant announcement that discloses the government will spend an additional $200 million to create more housing for the deluge of UAC that appears to have no end in sight. The document reveals that the “estimated total program funding” is an astounding $840 million. HHS writes that the new allotment is for “residential (shelter and/or transitional foster care) services” for UAC. “ORR is publishing this Standing Notice of Funding Opportunity (SNOFO) to seek shelter care providers, including group homes and transitional foster care,” according to the agency. Eligibility is unrestricted to receive a grant and even nonprofits that do not have official 501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and for-profit organizations as well as small businesses are encouraged to apply for a piece of the pie. Public housing authorities, private institutions of higher education and “others” are also eligible, the latest announcement says.

As if it weren’t bad enough that American taxpayers are getting stuck with the exorbitant tab of caring for the young illegal aliens, many have joined criminal enterprises after getting settled into the country. Back in 2014 Judicial Watch reported that the nation’s most violent street gangs—including Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)—actively recruit new members at U.S. shelters housing UAC. The Texas Department of Public Safety subsequently revealed the MS-13 is a top tier gang thanks to the influx of illegal alien gang members that have crossed into the state. A few years ago, Judicial Watch obtained HHS documents that show UAC processed during the Obama administration included violent criminals. Obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the files include 1,000 “Significant Incident Reports” showing that UAC were admitted murderers, rapists, prostitutes, drug smugglers, and human traffickers.

LGBTQ = Let’s Get Biden To Quit!

November 12, 2021/in Commentary, Culture War, Elections, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Save America Foundation

Today I want to highlight this Administrations positive and pro-America achievements!

Ummmm……hmmmmm…. This is really hard! Unmmmm. I give up!!

I cannot think of one! Unless you are an America hater. How about you guys?

Probably easier to list the terrible agenda they are following. I think we can all find that so much easier. The choices are endless.

Biden, who is just a figure head and an Obama/Jarrett puppet they keep locked up in the basement until they need him to make a trained and edited performance which he 99/100 times screws up, is an imbecile. A dangerous one however.

He has become the laughing stock of the world. China mocks him. Lady Camilla Parker Bowles, the wife of that crazy ( some say eccentric ) Prince Charles, cannot stop talking about Biden’s prowess in the noble historical art of farting! Yes, he apparently knows her well enough to be comfortable letting out one long and very loud fart as they talked privately together at the climate change conference being held in Edinburgh, Scotland. Talk about hot gasses! So easy to blame cows flatulence though! His wife is probably grateful she doesn’t have to do his washing!!

Then of course we see all the major nations treating us as nobodies! China, Iran, OPEC, Russia and others running amok, rubbing their filthy hands in anticipation of all the money we are going to be handing out to our enemies to enable their enrichment and the strengthening of their militaries as we grow poorer and weaker! Great job Joe! Below a video of an English man mocking Old Joe. Good watching but kinda embarrassing for proud Americans like me to watch!

Then we can look to our southern border which is as porous as a sponge. Our Trafficker in Chief is allowing, no, encouraging Illegals who are listening and are flooding over in the tens of thousands, covid and disease ridden, poor and uneducated, their hands out for every dime they will get from good old uncle Joe and his merry band of perverts, traitors and those of dubious sexuality. Housing, transport, healthcare, education, food stamps and hopefully the possibility of voting as criminals! Only in America. The Mexican Cartel is rolling in cash as they charge approximately $6000 per illegal they bring to the border. I wonder if they are giving the Big Guy his share?? I bet the CIA is enriching themselves!!

Inflation! Where to start on this exciting challenge we are being bought courtesy of Old Joe’s economic and energy policies!! Hyperinflation which is on the way and may already be here is defined as such:- In economics, hyperinflation is used to describe situations where the prices of all goods and services rise uncontrollably over a defined time period. In other words, hyperinflation is extremely rapid inflation Inflation is an economic concept that refers to increases in the price level of goods over a set period of time.

Hyperinflation has two main causes: an increase in the money supply and demand-pull inflation. The former happens when a country’s government begins printing money to pay for its spending. As it increases the money supply, prices rise as in regular inflation. The other cause, demand-pull inflation, occurs when a surge in demand outstrips supply … mmmmm…… anyone see that we are there already? I do. Example:- 10 months ago lemons were 4 or 5 for $1 – now 90c each at our local supermarket!! Hyperinflation? Yes / No? Hint – Heck yeah!

Now America. I could go on for hours but I know my fantastic and growing audience of readers is made up of the smartest and most patriotic people around in multiple cities, counties, states and now many countries. You could all sit down and give me a list of 50 things wrong with this illegal and criminal administration. So I won’t bore you. You get the picture.

Now for the positive part of this blog! Things are changing. American patriots nationwide are rising. They are opening their mouths. They are protesting. They are putting their feet down solidly on the correct side of our Constitutional Republic. They are hating what they see. Even Democrat voters are horrified at where Biden and his evil cronies have taken this country in 10 months. I feel it. I hear it. I see it. And you know what? It feels awesome. It makes me proud. We are beginning to work on destroying the socialist ideals and policies of the so called WOKE leftists. They are done!

2022 will be our year. 2024 even bigger. The Statue of Liberty standing in the entrance to New York harbor will hold that flame higher. She will smile. She will also be proud. Our founding fathers may stop rolling in their graves in sorrow and disgust and continue their well deserved rest.

Yeah!! America will be back. Bigger, better and stronger than before. 2022 then on to 2024! No time to rest! God Bless the United States of America!

TRANSCRIPT

Tucker Carlson, Fox News host: “So, here’s an interesting story. During the final days of the last election, Project Veritas, the journalism group, looked into a story about the missing diary of Ashley Biden, the president’s daughter. They didn’t run anything on it. So, just the other day, the FBI knocks down their door, looking for this — purely a political investigation...Amazing how that works. Harmeet Dhillon is a famous civil rights attorney and managing partner of the Dhillon law group. She represents James O’Keefe in this story. She joins us tonight with the very latest on it. Harmeet, thanks a lot for coming on. I mean, I don’t know what even to say about…I mean, what is this?”

Harmeet Dhillon, Project Veritas attorney: “Well, our client James O’Keefe’s home was raided on Saturday morning by the FBI. They had a battering ram, and they threw him out in the hallway and took, you know, in handcuffs and took his phones. Now a lot of privileged information was on his phones, including communications with — by my count four dozen different lawyers over the years. And coincidentally, this publication came out this afternoon from The New York Times. Now, I can’t say with a certainty how The New York Times got this information, but I can say that they got it in a way that is illegal and unethical. And so, we have to ask that question. You know, what we have right now is a very disturbing situation of the U.S. attorney’s office and/or the FBI tipping off The New York Times to each of the raids on Project Veritas — current and former employees. Last week — we know that — because minutes after these raids occurred, they got calls from The New York Times, which is the only journalism outlet that knew about it. And they published this hit piece today, which is really despicable. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this low from The New York Times before — to publish people’s private legal communications. And by the way, what does it prove? New York Times? All it proves is that Project Veritas is an honest and thoughtful journalistic organization that sought legal advice before making various publications. That’s what Fox News does. That’s what The New York Times does. And that’s what every major journalism outlet does. So, I don’t know what ‘gotcha’ they think they were doing there other than they got themselves. Because they criticized Project Veritas for its tactics. And yet they sink so low, Tucker.”

Tucker: “We know for a fact that this administration leaks confidential information about its critics to news outlets, they did it to me personally. So, I know for a fact that they do it. Is there any way to catch them in the act of doing this? Which I think would be a crime?”

Harmeet: “Well, the first thing that we have done in response to the seizure of our client’s telephones, that include not just the legal information that I just mentioned, but also confidential source information, including sources in the Biden administration and in corporate America, and including donor information, which is also protected by the First Amendment. So, you have multiple First Amendment issues here. We asked the court to order a special master, to review this information and let the Southern District of New York prosecutors and the FBI look at it without somebody separating out this information. The government would not agree to do that voluntarily, but we went to court and today a federal judge did order the government to stop looking at these phones. So ultimately, we’re going to get some answers as to what was reviewed and what they did with it. It may be a long time. We may never know what they’ve done. The government still hasn’t admitted on your situation Tucker, that they did something illegal. I think they did. And you think they did. And there’s a lot of this going on. The DOJ has specific regulations about this. There’s also a federal statute called the Privacy Protection Act that protects journalists and their information from exactly this type of thuggish behavior. But what the DOJ has done in this case — they have blown federal law. They have blown the constitution; they have blown due process and civil rights. And now they’re communicating at some level for sure with The New York Times. So, this is a scandal of epic proportions and every journalist who isn’t worried and concerned about this should hang up their journalism card, ditto, all First Amendment lawyers as well.”

Tucker: “Yeah. And here’s The New York Times participating in the defense of the regime it’s supposed to be covering. I mean, it’s the deepest level of corruption. Harmeet Dhillon. Great to see you tonight. Thank you for this.”

Harmeet: “Thank you, Tucker.”

Lies, damned lies and the Steele dossier

November 12, 2021/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by MercatorNet - Navigating Modern Complexities

The truth always comes out eventually.

Last week, Russian-born analyst Igor Danchenko, who lives in Washington DC, was arrested for making false statements to the FBI. While this may sound like another innocuous headline in these days of deceit, Danchenko’s arrest is the latest chapter in a breathtaking political scandal that renders Watergate child’s play.

All the way back in January 2017, BuzzFeedNews broke a bombshell story titled, “These Reports Allege Trump Has Deep Ties To Russia”. It was the first time the public gained access to the now infamous “Steele dossier” — a 35-page intelligence report alleging that Trump planned his rise to presidential power with secret interference from Russia.

A media feeding frenzy began. For the next two years, America’s corporate press gave unending airtime to the Trump-Russia collusion story. It rose above every cheap shot about Trump’s diet, small hands or latest mean tweet to become the principal proof that Trump was an imposter: an illegitimate president and an existential threat to the global order.

It wasn’t just America’s national media that ran with the narrative. It quickly became a worldwide sensation. Australian taxpayers funded and endured thousands of articles on the ABC website, including a Four Corners special that claimed, “It’s the story of the century: The US President and his connections to Russia.”

The New York Times and the Washington Post were jointly decorated with the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting on the story. Still today, the Pullitzer Prize website recounts of their heroic feats:

For deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration.

There was only one problem: the Steele dossier was almost entirely fictional. Danchenko was the “source” for many of its false claims — and justice finally caught up with him last week.

That the dossier was bunk was already known. The two-year, US$32 million Mueller Report that probed the dossier and other sources found no evidence that Trump had colluded with Russia, even if the Kremlin did interfere in the election for its own ends.

By the time the Mueller Report was released, the damage to Trump’s reputation had already been done. But this was only the beginning of the scandal’s unravelling.

During Trump’s first year in office, it came to light that the Steele dossier had actually been funded by Trump’s rivals. The year previous, its author — former British spy Christopher Steele — had been paid to produce the bunk document by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Both Clinton and the DNC lied about their role in the scandal until it could be lied about no longer.

Other sinister events were taking place behind the scenes. The Obama-era FBI launched “Crossfire Hurricane”, a secret investigation giving the FBI powers to spy on Donald Trump’s election campaign.

In an exposé, the editorial board of the New York Post noted that “the Obama-Comey FBI and Justice Department never had anything more substantial than the laughable fiction of the Steele dossier to justify the “counterintelligence” investigation of the Trump campaign.” They continued:

President Barack Obama, in his final days in office, played a key role in fanning the flames of the phony scandal. Fully briefed on the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, he knew the FBI had come up with nothing despite months of work starting in July 2016.

Indeed, the Obama administration went on a full-scale leak offensive — handing the Washington Post, New York Times and others a nonstop torrent of “anonymous” allegations of Trumpite ties to Moscow. It suggested that the investigations were finding a ton of treasonous dirt on Team Trump — when in fact the investigators had come up dry.

The dishonesty ran deep. Subsequent investigations revealed that an FBI lawyer deceptively altered an email which was then used to persuade a federal judge to extend a surveillance warrant, allowing the spying on Trump’s campaign to continue. The shady lawyer avoided jail time, apparently because that’s how things are done these days in DC.

We often think of postmodernism in its impact on literature, the arts and popular culture. But the link between postmodernism and politics couldn’t be more apparent than in the Steele dossier saga. To borrow the words of postmodernism’s precursor, Friedrich Nietzsche:

What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down?

America’s intelligence agencies were weaponised against innocent civilians for partisan political gain. Reputations and careers are in tatters. The global media has been willingly used in a relentless assault on truth and common sense. And now that the truth comes out, the guilty are silent.

Destroy a culture’s meta-narrative and you end up with any narrative at all.

Be careful, little ears, what you hear.

Call for a UN World Day on Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation

November 11, 2021/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by National Center on Sexual Exploitation

The International Center on Sexual Exploitation—a division of NCOSE—is proud to join the Global Collaborative effort to establish an international day of recognition for child sexual exploitation and abuse prevention and healing. The Global Collaborative is a survivor led network of NGO’s, faith-based institutions, survivor networks and governments.

As the Global Collaborative states:

“The World Health Organization reports 120 million girls and young women under 20 years of age have suffered some form of forced sexual contact; that one in five women, and one in thirteen men report experiencing sexual abuse before their 18th birthday; and that in some parts of the world, one out of every two children have experienced sexual abuse; and that because of the shame, stigma, and fear associated with their experience, at least sixty percent of child sexual abuse victims/survivors never disclose their abuse.”

“The members of the Global Collaborative believe the 18 November International Day will provide a forum to bring survivors, civil society, and governments together to focus and better align vital resources, heighten awareness of the problem of CSEA, and support victims and their families in their quest for healing and justice.”

This will be accomplished through the following actions:

Bringing global visibility to the right for every child to grow up free from all forms of sexual abuse, both on-line and off-line.
Raising awareness of measures that can be taken by communities, schools, religious institutions, recreational venues, inter-governmental organizations, families, and young persons to ensure that every child is protected.
Harnessing the power of social media with celebrity, and high-profile survivors sharing their stories to help eliminate the stigma experienced by victims of child sexual abuse and exploitation.
Channeling the creativity and influence of a range of partners to accelerate adoption of legislation, policies, and procedures to ensure all children are safe, and victims/survivors receive justice, and have access to the resources they need to heal.
Accelerating adoption of evidence-based practices by health care providers, social welfare organizations and faith communities to enabling effective healing for victims/survivors of abuse, their family members, and communities.

THIS NOVEMBER 18th YOU CAN HELP CALL ON THE UNITED NATIONS TO OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE THIS IMPORTANT DAY

Take Action: Record your steps on November 18th and log them on this webpage! (You can use an app on your phone, a Fitbit, or whatever you like! Set a reminder in your phone to log your steps on our webpage by the end of the day.)

This simple, easy action will symbolize the powerful reality that people around the world want to take steps to end child sexual abuse and exploitation!

Please take action and show the international community that all nations must recognize these issues and must work collaboratively to protect children and strive for justice.

Climate Czar John Kerry: the U.S. ‘Won’t Have Coal’ by 2030

November 11, 2021/in Energy, Environment, News, Policy, Politics, Regulation, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Discover The Networks

Globe-trotting private jet enthusiast and Vietnam-era traitor John Kerry, President Joe Biden’s so-called “climate envoy,” said in an interview with Bloomberg at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, that there would be no coal in the United States by the end of the decade.

“By 2030 in the United States, we won’t have coal,” Kerry stated. He went on to say, “We’re saying we are going to be carbon-free in the power sector by 2035. I think that’s leadership. I think that’s indicative of what we can do.”

It’s not leadership. It’s part of the Biden administration’s goal to commit national energy suicide. By contrast, the power-mad Chinese regime has no intention of sacrificing any its energy infrastructure for the sake of the planet.

Kerry is the first Biden official to publicly comment on the administration’s environmental policy since the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that contained numerous sections dedicated to climate change passed Congress. His aspiration to rid the country of its coal by 2030 aligns with Biden’s deadlines for lowering greenhouse gasses by the same year.

According to the U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA), coal accounted for 10% of our nation’s total energy consumption in 2020.

KERRY SAYS “THE BIGGEST THING” HE IS DOING FOR ENVIRONMENT IS “TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD”

During an interview aired on the October 27, 2021 edition of Bloomberg’s Leaders with Lacqua, host Francine Lacqua asked Kerry: “Secretary, have you changed anything in your lifestyle to actually help the cause against climate change?”

Kerry answered: “Indeed, I have. I have a solar system for my home. I drive an electric car now. I still have the one internal combustion engine vehicle, which is being traded for another electric car, and we’re making more conscious decisions about our use of energy within the house. I mean, I’ve become a flagrant light switch-chaser whenever I walk through a room or a building. Yes, I think there’s a new consciousness. Am I doing everything that I should be or could be? Probably not. But I’m super conscious of the need to try to all of us do what we can to make a contribution here. The biggest thing I’m doing in my lifestyle is traveling around the world, trying to do diplomacy and help make a larger decision in the context of Glasgow that could reduce a lot of the anxiety that we’re all living with today about where we’re headed.”

CHAOS: Turkey Prices Up 41%, Home Heating Oil Up 115%, Food Prices Up 10.5%

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” ― George Orwell, 1984

22% of all U.S. Dollars were created in 2020 alone? Read that again. 1/5th of all U.S. Dollars were created in 2020. The shit has yet to hit the fan.

No Thanks! Turkey Prices Up 41%, Home Heating Oil Up 115%, Food Prices Up 10.5%

Thanksgiving 2021 is shaping up to be the most expensive in history.

Prices of processed turkeys are up 40.7 percent compared with a year ago, data from the Department of Labor’s Producer Price Index showed Tuesday. That’s even after falling a seasonally adjusted one percent in October.

By: Breitbart News, November 10, 2021:

It may be hard to even find turkeys in some parts of the country this year. The Wall Street Journal reported that turkeys were 60 percent out of stock. Cranberries, yams, and sweet potatoes are also low in stock.
Grain prices are 40.8 percent higher than a year ago, driving up the prices of our largely grain-fed turkey crop. Beef and veal prices are up 41.5 percent compared with a year ago. Overall, food prices are running 10.5 percent higher than a year ago.

Getting to the family Thanksgiving will be costlier with gasoline prices are up close to 90 percent, according to the Producer Price Index. Airfares, fortunately for passengers, are near where they were a year ago and still well below pre-pandemic levels.

Home heating oil is up 114.8 percent. Residential natural gas prices are up 28.7 percent. Residential electricity prices are up 5.6 percent.

Overall, the Producer Price Index—which measures prices from the point of view of sellers—is up 8.6 percent compared with a year ago, tying the record high set last month.
