BlackListed By Visa

Gab, an alternative to Twitter (and I suppose, now Parler) has been blacklisted by Visa. This is a very important development. I have long warned people of the consequences of censorship. I came out against the censorship and de-platforming of Stormfront because I knew that it would not stop there. Indeed anyone [now] paying attention has seen the circle of "acceptable" speech closing quite rapidly. This now includes you being punished for the speech of your close family.

If you don't bend the knee, they will make you unemployable, then the financial institutions you depend upon to do any business will refuse to provide service to you. You will be unable to even work for yourself since customers will be unable to pay you. Customers will eventually be cut off for doing business with you.

To those Christians reading this, this is some "mark of the beast" type regime being put in place. Alternately this is your "before the cock cries" moment. And if you haven't had one yet, it's coming for you.

For the Odu-Ifa types out there, this is a "heard and did not sacrifice (prepare)" situation. But back to Gab:

We were told this week that not only is Gab blacklisted by Visa as a business, but my personal name, phone number, address, and more are all also blacklisted by Visa. If I wanted to leave Gab tomorrow (something that isn’t going to happen) and start a lemonade stand I wouldn’t be able to obtain merchant processing for it...

We were told that Visa has someone camping on our website watching our payment processing. As soon as we get a new processor up they find out who it is on their end and contact them. They tell the processor that Gab is flagged for “illegal activity” and if they do not stop processing payments for us they will be heavily fined.

I'm not here telling you to support Gab. What I'm telling you is that you should be very concerned about this. Remember, the circle will eventually close far enough to put you on the outside.

In the above picture Stalin's right hand (on the left, HA!) man was chillin' in the circle. Eventually the circle of "right speech" and "right though" left him on the outside and he was literally removed from pictures. It will happen to you eventually.

Grand Jury Indictment in Arbery Homicide

from Fox Atlanta:

Cobb County District Attorney Joyette M. Holmes announced the charges at the Glynn County Courthouse at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. The indictment has nine charges, including malice murder, four counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, false imprisonment; and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment.

Under GA law:

2014 Georgia Code
Title 16 - CRIMES AND OFFENSES
Chapter 5 - CRIMES AGAINST THE PERSON
Article 1 - HOMICIDE
§ 16-5-1 - Murder; malice murder; felony murder; murder in the second degree

GA Code § 16-5-1 (2014) What's This?

(a) A person commits the offense of murder when he unlawfully and with malice aforethought, either express or implied, causes the death of another human being.

(b) Express malice is that deliberate intention unlawfully to take the life of another human being which is manifested by external circumstances capable of proof. Malice shall be implied where no considerable provocation appears and where all the circumstances of the killing show an abandoned and malignant heart.

(c) A person commits the offense of murder when, in the commission of a felony, he or she causes the death of another human being irrespective of malice.

(d) A person commits the offense of murder in the second degree when, in the commission of cruelty to children in the second degree, he or she causes the death of another human being irrespective of malice.

And for false imprisonment:

2010 Georgia Code
TITLE 16 - CRIMES AND OFFENSES
CHAPTER 5 - CRIMES AGAINST THE PERSON
ARTICLE 3 - KIDNAPPING, FALSE IMPRISONMENT, AND RELATED OFFENSES
§ 16-5-41 - False imprisonment

(a) A person commits the offense of false imprisonment when, in violation of the personal liberty of another, he arrests, confines, or detains such person without legal authority.

To the last charge I'll repost the current GA law on arrests by private persons:

2010 Georgia Code
TITLE 17 - CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
CHAPTER 4 - ARREST OF PERSONS
ARTICLE 4 - ARREST BY PRIVATE PERSONS
§ 17-4-60 - Grounds for arrest
O.C.G.A. 17-4-60 (2010)
17-4-60. Grounds for arrest

A private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge. If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion.

Since we already have multiple video of Arbery in the property and running from the scene, the defense can make a reasonable argument of "reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion". Note that suspicion does not have to be right. So I can see a reasonable and unbiased jury tossing this charge. However; given the current climate, particularly in Georgia, I seriously doubt we will have a "reasonable jury".

I believe the "malice murder" is going to stem from the false imprisonment, but I certainly cannot say. I think that charge will hang on how this part is determined by the jury:

" Malice shall be implied where no considerable provocation appears and where all the circumstances of the killing show an abandoned and malignant heart."

Certainly the defense will argue that Arbery charged the defendant and therefore there was "provocation". The state may counter that Arbery was within his right to "provoke" the defendants because he feared for his life. The defense will likely counter with the alleged trespass.

No doubt the state will use the "fucking nigger" comment after the fact to try to establish an alternate motive to the defendants. We shall see.

Does Recent US Rise in Wuhan Cases Support Sweden's Decision?

Short post. Between work, recent Supreme Court decisions and half marathon training in the heat, writing has fallen to the wayside.

The recent surges in CV cases in the southern US presents an interesting situation. Firstly, given the weeks of protests the spike among younger persons (more likely to be out and involved) we shouldn't be surprised by the spikes. Since some government officials, sympathetic to the protestors AND mobs have decided to not ask whether individuals were involved in any protests, we may never know the impact that has.

That issue aside, one of the things that was hoped for was that since all previous known corona viruses failed to produce large infections during summer months likely due to a combination of heat, humidity, UV radiation and increased vitamin D production in humans, that Wuhan would also drop off. It appears that this is not happening. That would definitely make Wuhan far more, shall we say, "interesting" and quite troubling as we go back into cold weather later this year.

Now we get to Sweden. One of the major reasons that Sweden went the "no official lock down" route is that they predicted that countries that locked down their population would suffer a [large] increase once they opened back up. They thought it better to let the pathogen make its way through the population in one go, get it over with and not suffer a second, or however many, wave.

As of this writing:

Sweden: no new deaths or cases, USA 1,339 new cases and 31 new deaths.

Lastly, my conspiracy theory: Not long after the full frontal assault on Hydroxy-chloroquine using badly designed meta-analyses and the revocation of "emergency use" by various governing bodies, the ICU count goes up. Remember the HCQ+Zinc-Sulphate and an anti-viral was to be used early in disease stage to prevent graduating to stages requiring ICU treatment. It's 'Interesting" that now these ICU admits are going up. Oh and that the Fed apparently pays out a 20% premium for hospital admits. But that's a theory. Just something to think about.

Bubba Wallace: Total Loser

[See update below]

I knew the "noose found in garage" story was BS when I heard it. How did I know? There was no picture of said noose. It is 2020. Everybody and their grandmother has a device with a camera on it.

EV-ER-Y-One.

If I find an actual factual noose left on my locker, office door, car or whatever, I'm taking a picture immediately. Like RIGHT NOW.

Time and datestamp that joint and send copies to friends and family.

However; this noose story was without a picture. I waited all day to see a picture. None forthcoming. No video of how he walked in and saw said noose. Say that Wallace wasn't the person who found it? Doesn't matter. The minute they thought "noose" the phone should have come out and pictures taken.

But this wasn't about the alleged noose. No, this was about one Bubba Wallace and/or one of his associates looking for attention. Just like Jussie Smollett. Well to do black folks, feeling guilty about having "made it" and living a decent [material] life who think they need to be a part of some "revolution" in order to burnish their black bonafides (looking at your Kaepernick). In the absence of actual big deal racism, they have to actually make up events (looking at you Lebron) because nobody with a decent sized megaphone will call them out and make them pay for their fake stories.

Say, Where's the video from that spray paint on Lebron's gate? But I'm off topic.

How does a professional driver such was Wallace NOT know that there are pull ropes on the garage doors? How does Wallace and crew not realize that there are cameras everywhere and swipe cards for access and thus the story could be verified either way with ease? See Wallace could have saved himself and his associates by making a public statement in which he apologized not only to his teammates and fellow drivers, but to the country as a whole for "mistaking" a pull rope for a noose and that the responsibility for the mistake was his and his alone and did not and does not reflect NASCAR or it's fans in any way. But of course he did not. Neither did NASCAR. Why? Because there is currently massive money to be made on racism the likes that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson of 80's and 90's could never dream of. Marxists in America have their hands on the levers and spigots and NASCAR doesn't want to get the Tucker Carlson treatment.

[Update 6-25-2020; 5:30PM] So NASCAR released the photo of the "noose". It should have been done when the report was first made public. I'm not a knot expert (knots on my sneakers come undone all the time) and I've read (and seen) examples of knots that look entirely like a noose yet are not slip knots like a noose is. Therefore I'm not qualified to say either way. I'm pretty certain that someone could have pulled on it to determine if it was a noose. Since the FBI did in fact refer to it as a noose, I'll let that stand. Still, given the report that said noose was on the garage door since last year and thus couldn't possibly have been targeted at Wallace, I still call it a hoax since given it's prominent placement, it simply could not have been missed by staff between when it was first attached to the garage and when it was reported.

The Great Erasure

I saw the following last week but failed to comment on it:

A nearly two-centuries-old Virginia landmark denoting the location where slaves were once sold as property prior to the Civil War has finally been removed.

The 176-year-old auction block — recently defaced at least twice in the wake of worldwide police brutality and Black Lives Matters demonstrations — was yanked from its Fredericksburg site on June 5 in the wake of worldwide civil rights protests, reported Washington TV station WRC.

Formerly situated on a street corner in the middle of the city, the knee-high stone monument — which the local chapter of the NAACP deemed a relic from a "time of hatred and degradation " — had been a simmering contention point for years.

Before I comment on this directly I want to share a bit of my life with you. Many years ago I read a few books on Denmark Vesey. I learned many things including his proper name: Telemaque and decided that since I couldn't find a documentary on him, I would make one. So one hot summer day, I packed my clothes, video cameras and tape (yes, tape) into my car and drove to Charleston SC. For the next week I walked the entirety of downtown Charleston as well as a side trip to the Santee river. Let me tell you that it was the most emotional thing I had ever done and I hadn't cried more times since my first viewing of Rosewood.

It was extremely difficult to locate historically important areas at that time (I cannot say how it is now) as nothing was marked. So in order to find things I had to go to the Charleston library and get into what I believe was the Carolina room (you can e-mail and correct me if I have it wrong). There I had to correlate the books I read with the current map of Charleston as well as pre-fire Charleston. As a result I was able to find where Denmark Vesey lived. Not a marker in sight. I found an auction house which had been converted into a jewelry store if memory serves (it's been a long time). I think there may have been a marker but I don't think so.

And that's a part of why I am strenuously opposed to the removal of such artifacts as they are. They are SUPPOSED to remind us of painful and bad times so that we don't repeat them (or too repeat them when they are acts or events worthy of repeating).

Anyway. I found my way to the Santee river where innumerate Africans used as a guide to freedom and where Telemaque gave speeches to convince enslaved Africans to rise up. I cannot describe how it felt to be standing where some of my ancestors had actually attempted to "get free". Where some had paid the ultimate price. Those were heavy days.

I also located the "Work House" where Telemaque and his compatriots were held prior to being executed. It was reported that they sang hymns the entire night and when they were executed not a one of them showed fear. Speaking of hanged, I found where most of the hangings happened. No markers.

Two nights before I left I went to the shore (where the canons face the sea) and retraced the route the Africans took that fateful night. Up Meeting street and King street. Past Market street.

Let me tell you that it was an impactful night. To be where black men and women risked everything to not be victims of their circumstances (and some to give up quite comfortable livings) to be free people. So you'll excuse me if I'm not on board with people complaining about their "hurt feelings" over a block of concrete marking a historical event. You'll excuse me if I'm not sympathetic to people who think they are oppressed due to "micro-aggressions" and other assorted Bull. Shit.

This is why I'm against the removal of monuments. The monuments are opportunities to ponder who, what, where, when, how and why. The answers are usually not neat. Such is life. Personally I'm for more monuments that tell more of the stories. So no, this removal is not good. All it does is erase history. And shame on the NAACP for advocating for its removal.

Alleged Black Professor's Letter to Collegues RE Floyd and BLM

I don't know if the below is real as in it actually came from a professor. It is supposedly anonymous which, if true is a condemnation of academia in general and the specific college/university and department in particular. Note: Apparently, due to either programming on Blogger or the size of the image. clicking on the image results in an itty bitty version. Instead, do not click on the image but increase the view size of this page and the image will increase in size.

An Example of Why The Mass Hysteria called BLM Makes No Sense

This moment from @RepJeffries going after @dbongino is absurd. He repeatedly brings up white terrorists and their skin color and when pressed by Dan on why he's making it racial, Jeffries says "Black Lives Matter."

Dan has to remind him: "I arrested those people, you did not." pic.twitter.com/lG6pENHJ9q

— Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) June 10, 2020

In the above video the not so bright Hakeem Jeffries attempts to make a point about white heavily armed white men who were arrested "without incident". He is so dense that he doesn't realize that he answered his own question when he said "without incident". The vast majority of police killings of both armed and unarmed people happen when the suspect resists arrest. As if ti's some kind of option. If the person doesn't resist arrest there is a 99% chance that they will not be killed during the arrest. I say 99% because there have, in fact, been cases where unarmed people who have followed directions have been killed. In most, if not all of those cases, the police gave conflicting orders.

See, too many people are too damn slow, and not too bright to understand that the initial reason for the contact is often NOT the reason for the killing. Often it is what happens afterwards, which usually starts with someone saying "I'm not gonna..."

Another example of this is the recent shooting of an unarmed motorist on New Jersey's Garden State Parkway. In that situation Maurice Gordon the driver had been clocked doing 100 on the GSP which has a top speed limit of 65 and people generally go about 80. He pulled over on the wrong side of the road. The officer treated him with nothing but respect and courtesy. He called a tow truck for Maurice and even offered to drop him off somewhere. Of importance was that since Maurice Gordon pulled over on the wrong side, both his and the state trooper's vehicles were partially in the high speed passing lane. This is a very dangerous situation.

Near the end of the video about time index 36:00 Maurice decided to exit the trooper's vehicle after being offered a mask and get into a fight with the state trooper. Do you realize that Maurice could have easily pushed the state trooper into oncoming traffic? Do you realize that the state trooper could have lost his footing during the fight and fell into the lane of traffic and been hit and run over?

That is why an "unarmed person" is not necessarily NOT A THREAT to your life and why the entire "unarmed black man" theme is fraudulent. Those of us who do martial arts know that all it takes is one "proper" hit to do serious bodily harm or even death. We are not impressed by the "unarmed" claim because we know better. The general public doesn't understand this. Neither does Jeffries.

Don't be stupid like Jeffries.

Will Trump Get A Nixon Wave From The Protests and Riots?

I don't think so. I've seen a lot of smart commentary pointing back to how Nixon swept with the "silent majority" that responded very negatively to the riots they witnessed. If America had both 1968 demographics as well as 1968 attitudes I would say that one should expect a Trump landslide. But I don't foresee that at all.

Here's a graph of the changing demographics of the US as a whole:

As you can see the white population in the US has shrunk from near 90% in 1950 to 72% in 2010 and I'm certain that the white population has contracted further as of 2020. If we assume a 3% contraction based on the previous 10 years, then the white population as on election day 2020 would be 69% and likely less.

Add on top of that white elderly people are historically Republican. The Wuhan virus has taken a scythe to that population country wide. I'm not going to call it a conspiracy that governors just happened to put sick people into places where white elderly people are likely to be. I'm just saying...

Trump won his last election on the slimmest of slim margins. Sheer demographics has him losing unless some largely absent and invisible white voting block shows up out the blue. History is not favorable of such an event.

Of further consideration is that Democrat or Republican, US citizens were by far anti-riot, anti-communist, anti-socialist of any stripe, pro borders and anti-illegal immigration. What some would consider "sane". This kind of unanimity is long gone. Open socialists are in the federal government and those who are not open socialists make socialistic policy statements without so much as stuttering. Well except Joe Biden.

This past week we have seen police and military personnel bowing to protestors. Never would have happened in 1968. We've seen white people washing black peoples feet in public. Never would have happened in 1968. The white population in America is fractured and generally speaking lacking in self-respect. It's as if a large percentage of white people are incapable of having self-respect AND not be racist. Yes it is quite possible (and desirable) for white people to have self-respect and also not treat black people as sacred objects and/or children incapable of self-control and agency. But I digress.

No, The forces arrayed against those, white and non-white who refuse to take part in the new BLM religious cult (that's what it is) and see the long run communist game for what it is has to face fare greater consequences than those of 1968. Sure there will be "backlash" in certain quarters of the country. But I see nothing to indicate Trump will be "gifted" with a landslide because there are far more people out there that simply hate Trump and even if it means they have to deal with crazy shit from Democrats, they will do so just to be rid of the man. That is, they think this mob (and I'm not just talking about the ones in the streets) can be negotiated with. Indeed this mob WILL present themselves as amenable to negotiation. It's short term though. Remember, homosexuals just wanted to be left alone in the privacy of their homes. See where that went.

So no, I don't see Trump winning a landslide due to the recent events. As a matter of fact Trump is looking more and more like a one term president in part due to what has been done to him as well as his failure to do the things he promised to do.

Ahmaud Preliminary Hearing

I think this is a fair discussion of the case thus far. As I've said repeatedly in my discussion of the matter: it depends on what evidence comes out and certainly the social media, etc. comments (which I have not seen) certainly can go to state of mind.

I still think there are grounds for reasonable doubt and think that if the McMichael's previous comments are going to be fair game in a trial, and there will be a trial, then Ahmaud's past is going to be fair game. Generally I am opposed to bringing in past statements or history of any party unless it is directly related to the events in dispute. For example, the past behavior of Trayvon, which is trotted out every time I see his killing discussed, is irrelevant to me because not only was all of that unknown to Zimmerman but also it had no bearing on the events that occurred that night.

Similarly I've seen people discuss Ahmaud's past run in with police. I haven't posted on it because I think it's irrelevant and if I were on the jury I would dismiss it. The only past behavior of Ahmaud that would interest me is his previous "visits" to the house under construction because that has a direct bearing on the behavior of the defendants.

I Told You They Were Trying To Kill You To Own Trump

Readers will have noticed nary a peep from me in regards to the recent "studies" showing that Hydroxychloroquine was ineffective. Why. Because when I read the paper I knew it was shit. I also knew that actual scientists who actually adhere to scientific methods rather than "Woke" not science, the kind that says a man who thinks he's a woman is a woman, would tackle the paper. Well here it is:

If you are a supporter of various media outlets that have done everything they could to discredit HCQ in order to "own" Trump, you need to seriously re-evaluate your consumption habits. I'm not telling you who to support or not to support in your next election, be it president, governor, Senator, House Representative, heck School board member. All I ask is you hold any of them, D,R or I accountable if they supported suppressing information or straight out lying about information that could *save your life* in order to get or maintain political power.

The Floyd Autopsy Report

You can read it for yourself here: https://www.hennepin.us/-/media/hennepinus/residents/public-safety/documents/Autopsy_2020-3700_Floyd.pdf One very important note which will play a significant role in the trial: Floyd was VERY high.

I don't see this as providing reasonable doubt to the murder 3 indictment since that will likely focus on the extended length knee to the neck that I still say was the fatal move.

Again, I am not a medical professional so what I think can be taken with many grains of salt. That said I do not agree with others that say that this portion:

means that the knee to the neck was not the cause of death, or as it could be stated, the straw that broke the camel's back. The reason I say this is because I don't think there would necessarily be any "signs" of trauma to the carotid artery from being compressed enough to drop Floyd's blood pressure enough to cause his death. Recall from my last post on the subject that you can simply button your shirt too tight to cause the same thing. It simply doesn't take THAT much pressure and nearly 10 minutes of it is certainly *not good*

I would hope that the prosecutors would ask the medical examiner whether such pressure over an extended period of time would necessarily show damage in an autopsy. And if I were on the jury I would certainly want that question asked and answered. Failure to show beyond reasonable doubt in regards to that would be grounds for conviction in my opinion. [see update below]

As for the other three officers who were charged, I believe this report along with video of the struggle in the vehicle will get them acquitted (again this depends on what other evidence comes out). I believe they can reasonably argue that their participation in holding Floyd down was due to his resisting and they were doing as they were trained to do (which puts the city on the hook) in such situations. I don't think that arguing that they enabled or should have stopped Chauvin from his continued neck restraint is going to fly legally. I think a reasonable jury can find Chauvin guilty of 3rd degree murder while acquiring the other officers (again, given what evidence I know about as of this writing). [update: 2:05PM EDT] I'll have to hold off on the portions of the jury questioning of the neck injury or lack thereof. My theory depends on the fact that the compression of the carotid artery would show up as injury to the brain or heart. This report doesn't find that.

I'll be interested in the findings of the family's ME, but they will have to explain this part if they are going with the neck compression as ultimate cause of death. Here's a run down of Hypoxic-Ischemic:

When the brain is deprived of oxygen, brain cells are injured. Some may recover, some may die. The most common causes of oxygen deprivation to the brain are low levels of oxygen in the blood or a reduced flow of oxygen to the brain...

There are two stages of injury with HIE: The first stage happens immediately after the initial oxygen deprivation. The second occurs as normal oxygenated blood flow resumes to the brain. This is called “reperfusion injury” and occurs as toxins are released from the damaged cells.

Yes I know the above is in regards to birthing, but the science is the same. There should be some level of injury present. So either this ME got it wrong or this ME got it right. This is significant because it seems to me that the crux of the murder charge IS the knee to the neck. If they cannot show the knee to the neck is what killed Floyd then they cannot prove murder at any degree.

Here's a good source on Hypoxic - Ischemic Encephalopathy:

The brain has no energy stores of its own except for a small amount of glycogen in astrocytes. Anaerobic glycolysis of this glycogen provides neurons with some lactate that can be used by mitochondria but is insufficient to meet energy needs. The brain can also use lactate from the circulation. Fatty acids cannot be used because they are not transported across brain capillaries, but the brain can use ketone bodies derived from fat. In the ketogenic diet that is used for treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy, ketone bodies become the main energy source. However, the bulk of ATP is derived from oxidative phosphorylation of glucose. Thus, the brain depends on a second by second supply of oxygen and glucose by the blood.

Here's what I'm concerned about:

With this background, let us examine what happens with different grades of HIE. Suppose that someone has a brief episode of global ischemia, say from fainting. Within seconds, energy failure causes electrical activity in neurons to cease and the patient loses consciousness. Neurons and glial cells are viable and, if circulation is promptly restored, the patient returns to normal. If, however, ischemia lasts longer, first the integrity of cell membranes will be compromised and then cellular metabolism will cease and neurons will die. Ischemia lasting 4-5 minutes can damage irreversibly hippocampal and neocortical pyramidal cells, striatal neurons, and Purkinje cells. More protracted ischemia can damage thalamic and brainstem neurons.

The fact that Floyd had his neck compressed and therefore presumably still under a hypoxic condition, there should be neuron damage. If the ME report OR the family report doesn't show it, then how to prove Floyd's death was a result of the knee to the neck? Presumably the following would help:

If a patient dies shortly after the insult, the brain is usually grossly and microscopically normal.

If the brains "grossly and microscopically normal" as this ME report states, then such findings would NOT rule out the neck compression as cause of death since Floyd did, in fact, die "shortly after the insult".

This Black Man...

Was killed by "peaceful protestors" when he tried to stop "peaceful protestors" from looting a TV set.

Joe Biden and his staff are providing legal cover for the people who did this.

Idris Elba thinks this is ok.

Prominent celebrities are OK with this and are putting their money where their mouths are.

So called black leaders trot out the "Three Little Girls" and other church bombings whenever they can. Rioters put flame to a church in DC and these leaders are dead silent. I thought churches were sacred places? I'm the coon though.

The "Russian Playbook"

Susan Rice has reportedly said:

“I’m not reading the intelligence today, or these days — but based on my experience, this is right out of the Russian playbook,” Rice declared.

“But we cannot allow the extremists, the foreign actors, to distract from the real problems we have in this country that are longstanding, centuries old, and need to be addressed responsibly.” She added.

Blitzer just nodded along without challenging the absurd claim, noting “you’re absolutely right on the foreign interference,” and then suggesting that Russia could be trying to “embarrass” America by “promoting the racial divide in our country.”

“Well we see it all the time, we’ve seen it for years, including on social media where they take any divisive, painful issue… and they play on both sides,” Rice returned.

“I would not be surprised to learn that they have fomented some of these extremists on both sides on social media… [or] that they’re funding it in some way, shape, or form,” Rice added.

I know a lot of people, particularly those right leaning think this is a left conspiracy theory. It is not. Susan Rice is NOT incorrect. It's simply that she, and most everybody else, doesn't realize just how long that playbook has been in effect. I wrote about this multiple times. Here's the YouTube video (which I first saw long before YouTube existed) explaining exactly what that "playbook" is: These communists, socialists, etc. have infiltrated all areas of American society. They are in high places in government. They are fully ensconced in the educational system and have full control over the programming of the youth. For the non-whites, they have multi-level grievance programming. For the whites they have multi-level guilt programming.

I know this because I was once in on it. I was in on it until I started thinking and reading for myself. Once I got "off program" I was turned against.

Anyway. They are in the corporations, starting with the HR departments, moving into the PR departments, outwards.

They are in the media apparatus where they can gatekeep information. The reason for the increased censorship of the internet is because they know that the internet enables 'off programming" material to be watched by the masses. It is critical to the "playbook" that information is controlled. No lie is too large. No amount of gas is too little to light.

Here's one of the key things though. very few of these agents of the "Russian playbook" know they are actually such agents. The reason for this is that a part of their programming is to have them believe that what they believe is in fact American. This is why so many "Americans" can believe that there is some kind of thing as "hate speech" that is somehow illegal. This is an entirely new concept in America but is old hat for the "Russian playbook". This is why Americans are increasingly believing in concepts like "guilty until proven innocent". Again, this is standard procedure in communist and socialist countries. This is why we have people like those in Bernie Sander's campaign actually calling for Gulags and re-education camps and, failing that, actual killing of people who hold opposing ideologies. Again, anyone familiar with Communist and Socialist behavior knows exactly what this is.

However; the minute you put "anti-racism" and the like ahead of these ideas, you know, "to fight racism" there are a whole set of people who think these concepts are "American".

So yes indeed. There is a "Russian playbook" in effect. It's been in effect for a long time. It's just not the playbook Susan Rice and CNN thinks it is (or is telling us it is).
