Open Letter To Japan About Olympics

Hello Japanese Officials.

Unfortunately, the Olympic games set for last year was canceled. At the time it was understandable given how little we knew about COVID and its impacts, however; today we know a lot more about it and what we can do about it than we did then. To this end, I'm writing this to encourage you to have a fully attended Olympic games this year.

I know that this runs counter to the "experts" but consider this: How many times have the "experts" been dead wrong in the past year? They told you that masks work and yet you have seen in your own population, high numbers of people who have shown signs of infection though very few actually got sick. They said lockdowns work and yet the data from across the globe has shown that the only thing they work for is to enable tyrannical governments and to destroy economies. They said you had to wait for a vaccine and then said that even with vaccines you have to stay locked down and masked up. In short, these experts have been either dead wrong or in on an agenda called the Great Reset. Japan has an opportunity to show the world what it is to be a brave nation that follows actual science. I'm going to explain how.

It has been known since at least the summer that Ivermectin is extremely effective at keeping the COVID virus from replicating in the cells. It is used as prophylaxis in many countries. In those countries, even though there are high infection rates, the recovery rates are extremely high (in the 90 percentile). Whereas countries that refuse to use Ivermectin continue to lag behind.

 Secondly, we know that people with low levels of vitamin D are far more likely to develop severe cases of COVID if they are infected and not properly treated. 

Thirdly we know that this virus,  like influenza, is a seasonal virus and the Olympics falls during the period of low activity.  With this well-known information here is how you run a full-on Olympic games this summer:

Firstly you MUST reject the ideology of "stop infections". It is entirely unscientific and leaves you no outs. No plans you make will mitigate infection. You know this from the studies done on your population. Reject this madness entirely.

Secondly, for your national population, you should embark on making Ivermectin available to all. I understand that your nation has a LOT of vending machines for all manner of items. You should, if possible make Ivermectin available in these vending machines. These Wuhan Packs, as I have named them, should provide instructions for their safe and effective use (ie:amount taken per Kg body weight).

Similarly all athletes, support staff etc. should be given these packs. From my understanding, it should be taken once a month (there are doctors who can inform you of the specifics). All people involved with the games should take a dose 1 week out from when they are going to participate.

Similarly, Athletes and others taking part in the games should be screened for vitamin D levels NOW and those found to be deficient should be put on a vitamin D regimen so that their levels are sufficient by the time the games roll around. It does take time for this to happen. 

Zinc is known to inhibit SARS replication. Athletes and the public should be encouraged to take Zinc on a regular basis. Athletes probably already do this, particularly males, for its effect on testosterone production.

People attending the games should be strongly advised to do the same but if they do not, it should be made clear that their health is THEIR responsibility and that Japan nor the IOC is responsible if they do not want to take the drug and get sick. Just as it was prior to COVID. Your body your decision. Let us treat the people of the world as the adults they are. If they are concerned they have the option to not attend.

Fourthly, do not do what some other organizations have shamefully done and require athletes to take these experimental vaccines. No athlete, no person should be coerced into putting a foreign substance into their bodies, the short and long term effects of which are unknown, in order to practice their craft. Bodily autonomy is a foundational human right. Be a righteous nation and reject this inhuman plan at its first suggestion.

A Games with no spectators is called a training session. We athletes train solo or small groups in order to perform on the world "stage". To rob these athletes of their time to shine by barring the spectators is unfair. Open the games to all comers. provide scientifically proven prophylaxes to the population and show the world how it's done and strike a blow against this medical tyranny we are living under.

Thank you.

ABL Breaks Down The GameStop Situation Lovely

 I've watched a lot of explanations on the GameStop shorts situation and I think ABL has described it in terms people can understand the best. So here it is:

And I am NOT SAD in the least bit about the baths these folks are taking. NOT after this year where "the little people" got smacked down by the government with lockdown bullshit. Not sad at all. And if my investments gotta take a hit to take out some of these vampires I am A-OK with it. And Biden better not bail out these people. No laws were broken (unlike 2008) so keep your hands off.

And this is why when people look at me funny when I tell them I play BlackJack, I ask them if they are in the market because if they are in the market they are "gambling" on a far higher level than anything I'm currently doing and I have a mathematical certainty of making money so long as I play properly. And I don't borrow money to do it.

Another video where the blatant double standard and market manipulation is discussed:

Yes, They are halting trading to protect these hedge funds. 

Medical Martial Law

 The David Knight Show is very informative. Today I learned why and how these "state of emergency" lock downs have been able to go on for just about a year. Trump laid the foundation.

The Trump Presidency: The Schumer Prophesy

 Shortly after Trump took his place as president, Chuck Schumer made the following statement:

You take on the intelligence community. They have six ways to Sunday of getting back at you. So even for a practical supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he's being really dumb to do this.

Looking back on Trump's presidency we can see that this was a foretelling of what was to come. Despite Trump's own failings, his ideas posed a particular threat to career employees of various agencies. presidents, senators and representatives come and go but career politicians usually remain. Even if they are "let go" by a particular administration, they can either "sit it out" at a private firm with deep links into government or they are picked up when the opposing party returns to power. That's how it goes. You mess with that and to quote Al Capone, or at least De Niro playing him: "you mess with me, I'm gonna mess with you." And so The Swamp messed with Trump.

First we have two [known] failures to remove Trump. The Steele Dossier which was shown to be a fraud, created by an agent of a foreign state at the behest of the Clinton campaign via a law firm. If all the prattling about foreign collusion was actually a crime, then Clinton and the rest of the people involved would have been prosecuted. They were not.  Barr made sure of that. Oh he talked the game about how he was "disturbed" by the things he read and how Durham was going to get to the bottom of it. But as I posted in the previous installment, Barr's purpose was to distract the president and slow the process enough to get to the election without actually prosecuting anyone. Oh, yeah, except the low-level guy who falsified an e-mail.

So people committed felonies like lying to the FISA court and all we got were strongly worded letters.  Some people broke glass in the US Capitol and they were hemmed up quick fast and in a hurry.

Then they came with the Ukraine call. The interesting thing about the accusation was that they claimed that Trump was looking to do "election interference" by getting Biden in trouble with the Ukrainians via a "bribe". At that time Biden was not the candidate so how could they make such an accusation? 

Six ways...

They were telling us Biden was the chosen one.

Not only did the transcript of the call show no so-called "quid-pro-quo", a term dropped when Democrats realized the general public was too unintelligent to understand what that term meant but they ended up contradicting themselves as video of Biden's actual quid-pro-quo" admission made the rounds on various social media platforms.

Honestly I thought that video was going to sink Biden. Why? Because I didn't quite grasp how much Democrats were and are about power rather than so-called "decency". A decent person would have said, well, if asking for the person investigating your son's business in exchange for $6 billion is impeachable, why would I support Biden?  

I recall when Howard Dean's candidacy was torpedoed due to a video of him getting really excited at one of his rallies. Seriously. The video of him going "yeahhhhhhhh" was played over and over again and he was done. 

Edwards was found to have a baby with someone not his wife. Campaign done. 

Biden on video admitting bribing a Ukraine official with the blessing of the sitting president? No problem.

That didn't happen and nobody in the press was interested....in having this narrative out there. 

Anyway, this attack failed to dislodge Trump but it DID succeed in the continued "death by a thousand cuts" strategy that was being used by Democrats. The point of the harassment was to constantly have bad press on Trump. Perception forms reality for the vast majority of people. 

So Trump rolls into Feb 2020 with having survived two major attempts to remove him from office. Yet the Grand Coup was about to be set into motion. 

As I indicated in the previous post, for any and all of Trump's failures, his biggest success was on the economic front. Any president with such an economic success as Trump had would win the presidency in a landslide. Lower taxes across the board. Record corp profits (these things matter). Record unemployment numbers across the board. Nobody can argue with money in the bank. People in such situations feel secure and will vote for "more of that please."

Meanwhile China being battered by Trump's hard ball policies released the Kraken, COVID 19. I won't get into whether this thing was created or not. I've laid out enough evidence over the past 9 months that points to a high probability that it was created. Even if it got out accidentally, the Chinese authorities allowed travel from the epicenter to places around the globe without so much as a peep.  There is also video of Chinese officials talking about how the US was dependent upon China for medical supplies (masks, vents, etc) and thus if there was a national medical emergency, the US was, well, fucked.

In the early days of the Pandemic, Democrats not yet realizing the opportunity that lay ahead, made light of the situation. Videos of Pelosi and Di Blasio in their respective Chinatowns telling people to come out and celebrate the Chinese New Year and calling Trump a xenophobe for restricting flights into the country.

They soon realized that they had a means to topple Trump: Scare the shit out of everybody. The reversals soon came and every Dem official was calling for mask mandates and lockdowns. They knew the public would not accept an indefinite lockdown so they did the "2 weeks to flatten the curve" thing. Once locked, they wouldn't allow opening.  This was the important part.

Once the country was shook about being in public or enclosed space because they believed "infection= dead" and 'You want to kill granny?" part two was put into place. These emergencies "allowed" state governments to change the voting process without the usual legislative procedures *required* by the constitution. This gave cover to the DNC to finish its decapitation of Bernie Sanders who was unable to campaign.

Trump had his managerial style turned against him and he essentially turned the country over to The Swamp, Fauci et-al. were the insiders who Trump allowed to take over the response to COVID. You could understand why he would. HE's not a medical expert and he couldn't conceive that these people would be willing to not only kill off Americans but would be willing to catastrophically damage its economy in order to get what they wanted. 

And so the media plan was to do a case and death count all day, every day and pin it on the president. Since we know that the Chinese have agents all over the US government and other institutions, I would not be surprised if they were behind getting the media to act the way they acted (and are acting).  Eliminating Trump is good for China.  Then George Floyd died under the knee of a police officer.

If anything showed the real intention of the Covid Plandemic, it was the reaction to Floyd.  I won't go into the particulars of Floyd here. I have done that already and the available autopsy, transcripts and video evidence run counter to the prevailing narrative. But for Trump the important part was how all of the medical experts and people setting lockdown rules quickly did about faces when the protests and riots occurred.  For them, "Justice for Floyd" was more important than "stopping the spread". Meanwhile, in-person voting was too dangerous.  Running your business was "too dangerous". Attending church was too dangerous. Visiting friends and family was too dangerous. Going to school was too dangerous. The response to the Floyd riots showed that the lockdowns were political tools to undo the economic progress that Trump had achieved. No longer could a potential Trump voter look at the economy and say "more of that please". The media did its best to say that these lock downs, the responsibility for which laid with state governors, were Trump's fault and thus the pain your feeling is Trump's fault and if you want relief you get rid of Trump.

This "proposition", which was actually a great blackmailing of the citizenry" was also trotted out for the rioting. The rioting is a response to Trump and his policies and racism. If you want the rioting to stop you need to get Trump out of office.

But Trump is not blameless here. When the autonomous zones were set up (essentially self-declared states) Trump should have sent in the feds with live ammo and put them down. Setting up a self-declared autonomous state within the US is insurrection, treason and sedition.  That the Trump administration failed to act decisively was again an example of big dog, loud bark, no teeth. There were "conservative" commentators who advised against clearing out the zones. Their concern was optics. 

I wrote at the time that the failure to deal with these zones along with the lack of public outrage against them was a sign that Trump was indeed a one-term president. Whereas Nixon spoke of the silent majority, I saw this as a sign of no silent majority:

"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."

The other media message was directed at seniors. Here the pitch was that seniors are particularly vulnerable to COVID (for various reasons) and thus by Trump not wearing and mandating masks, he doesn't care about YOUR health.  His pushing of "deadly" HCQ will get you killed. You need to vote D and save yourselves (and America).

And thus the final media message was that the mounting cases and deaths were Trump's fault and if you wanted to change this horrible situation you need to get Biden into office, Biden has a plan. There are riots in the streets because Trump is a racist. You want the riots to stop? Get Trump out. Remember that the summer of rioting was approved of from the top to the bottom of the Democratic Party. It was given positive coverage by the MSM.  To be against the rioting meant you were a Nazi, White Supremacist or adjacent. Which meant you were a Nazi or White Supremacist. If you were not white you were an Uncle Tom or Coconut. Those unfamiliar with the latter term should look it up.

So leading into the 2020 election Trump had swamp insiders running the response to COVID in such a way to inflict maximum damage to the US economy and kill off citizens as needed to keep the population scared. Swamp insiders were protecting the insiders who collaborated to move against Trump with the Spygate, dirty dossier.  The DNC then used the lockdowns to change the voting process. As Nigel Farange and others pointed out, mail-in voting allowed for a level of fraud not seen in the US but certainly not unheard of. It is why no serious country allows mass mail-in voting. The extent of this fraud may possibly never be known by the public.

However; I'm not going to lean on fraud as the only or even the deterministic factor. I'm going to put it on the slow, long game that Democrats have been playing: Demographics. Democrats have taken Virginia. Then they took Georgia, a state that until recently wouldn't even be considered a close call.  It would be tempting to say that Republicans have been asleep at the wheel when it comes to immigration, but I think the evidence shows that they have been in on it. For them immigration is a means of gifting to the corporations that use them. Since the Republican party is content to be the minor sidekick of the DNC in that they are there for show only, I don't think them stupid enough to not have realized where the trends were going. Anyone with an IQ above 30 realizes that the 14th Amendment means that once in the US, you drop a baby as fast as possible. Coming over while pregnant is an even better idea.  I live around a lot of immigrants from the Indian subcontinent. They all know the game. Women drop babies quick, fast and in a hurry.  I'm not even mad at 'em for doing so. The US government set up the game and they are just playing by the rules to their benefit.  Good luck finding a doctor in my area who is 4 generations deep in America. 3 might be hard. They own a good deal of gas stations, hotels and convenience stores. This is no stereotype. And again, I'm not mad at them. Government made the rules and they are taking advantage of them.

And so the long game is paying off. Concentrated demographic change primarily in big cities in red states has paid off in national races and will soon, as in NY, California and Virginia result in governorships. But for the purpose of this post, Trump was on the losing end of the demographic game. While his supporters died off or were otherwise displaced, Democrats had a growing set of voters.   Hence, elections that shouldn't have been even close were close. Close enough for shenanigans to tip the scales.

Six ways.

Lastly Trump violated the cardinal rule: Dance with the one who brung ya to the party. For all his pandering to various groups the one group he failed to address was the very group that put him over the top in 2016. By all accounts, though he allegedly won more votes than last time, he still was down in the one demographic that won him the presidency: straight white males in the mid-west.  I would guess that his non-response to the rioting, particularly in Kenosha that did him in with that group. Seeing that the guy they put over the top, allowed their businesses to burn was probably a bridge too far. Not saying they voted for Biden. I think they stayed home and tossed the mail-in ballot in the trash.

And so Schumer's prophesy came to pass. A multiyear and multi-prong  attack on Trump that started before he was even elected resulted in Trump being ejected after one term. Trump's own bad decisions aided in his demise. Now we have a president signing executive orders that he doesn't even know the contents of and requires an earpiece to tell him to salute troops.  To top it off most of Trump's "accomplishments" are being rolled back to make it as if he never even was in office. 

Struck from history.

Tulsi Gets It Right

 As I've had to remind people, I am not a Republican or Democrat. Or Libertarian for that matter. I have particular standards (policies) and I'll support any candidate from any party who supports them. Period. So while I am currently extremely sour on the DNC, there are individual Democrats whom I find worthy of general support as they are not [fully] on the woke wagon. One of these is Tulsi Gabbard who would have made a far better president than Joe Biden. Below is why:

No lies told.

I'm currently reading The Gulag Archipelago and to say that there aren't striking similarities between what the current DNC and intelligence agency activities and the period that Gulag covers would be to lie.What Gabbard is doing is calling out The Swamp and don't be surprised if she finds herself in their crosshairs if she continues and is seen to have a large [enough] following.

Merck On It's Vaccine Development Merck has figured this out

 I have long said that all this lockdown and mask stuff was anti-science. I've also long said that the goal should have been to avoid the severe reactions rather than infection because an airborne virus will eventually infect everyone. Since it is the severe reactions that kills people, getting people to sufficient levels of vitamin D should have been a long term goal (it takes a while for levels to get up there). Secondly the use of Zinc and Quercetin as a means of first line prophylaxis AND as a means of suppressing the virus when it enters the cells. Lastly the use of Ivermectin if a person is tested, by that person and anyone they live with would have been the final line. Anyone who falls over (dies) would have had to have been severely ill before hand. This would have had the effect of pushing survival rates from it's current 95% (if including the 80+ yo who are most vulnerable) to 99.9%, if not higher. In such a case a "vaccine" is not only not needed but would probably perform worse than the natural response with available therapies. Merck has figured this out:

KENILWORTH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced that the company is discontinuing development of its SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 vaccine candidates, V590 and V591, and plans to focus its SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 research strategy and production capabilities on advancing two therapeutic candidates, MK-4482 and MK-7110. This decision follows Merck’s review of findings from Phase 1 clinical studies for the vaccines. In these studies, both V590 and V591 were generally well tolerated, but the immune responses were inferior to those seen following natural infection and those reported for other SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 vaccines. Merck continues to advance clinical programs and to scale-up manufacturing for two investigational medicines, MK-7110 and MK-4482 (molnupiravir); molnupiravir is being developed in collaboration with Ridgeback Bio. [ my emphasis]

Say, what's the effectiveness of other vaccines?

However, this early protection comes with some important caveats. First, the protection doesn't kick in until at least day 12 – until then, there was no difference between the two groups. Secondly, one dose is still significantly less protective than two. The latter is 95% effective at preventing the disease after a week.

 I see.

So the superior path is developing natural immunity and using theraputics to avoid the most severe reactions which have a side effect of the population getting healthier given that proper vitamin D levels is good for the population and Zinc inhibits influenza reproduction as well. Two-fer.

Biden Show Trump and Republicans How It's Done

In my second installment on the Trump presidency, I noted that the most ominous sign of what was to come from Trump was his failure to act immediately on things that were within his purview to act on without congress. First being the executive order ending DACA on day one.  

Joe Biden on the other hand wasted absolutely no time in doing what his supporters put him in office for. No qualms about whether it would upset the "opposition". No concerns that the half of the country that did n't support him may have issues with them.  None of this "we're looking into it". Nope. Day one. You don't have to agree with the orders. That's not the point. The point is you deliver. DAY ONE.

That, my friends, is why Trump is now an ex-president private citizen. Big dog. Loud bark. No teeth.

So this shows that either Trump's team was totally incompetent in that they didn't know HOW to prepare EO's prior to getting into the office or the team had so much infighting (no doubt due to the nepotism) that these things were put on the backburner to make way for more important things like where Ivanka's office would be.

Joe Biden may have been "Sleepy Joe" but Biden just showed Trump to be "Distracted Donald"

The Trump Presidency: Nepotism, Mismanagement and The Swamp

Part 1 here: https://garveys-ghost.blogspot.com/2021/01/the-trump-presidency-rise.html

In the last installment, I discussed what I thought were the major issues that made a Trump candidacy and election possible. In this post I'll discuss some of the major problems and issues of the Trump presidency.

First, before I get into the critiques I think it would be unfair to point out one of the biggest successes of the Trump presidency prior to the COVID scamdemic. Yes you read that right. The economic performance that happened under Trump was by all measures HUGE. Trump deserves every bit of credit for it as he did not accept the prevailing attitude that the jobs "weren't coming back" and there was nothing we could do. 

That Trump recognized that China was eating the US' lunch and dinner should not be forgotten. Many countries had and have been using the grandiosity of the US to take advantage. Deals often were huge economic and IP transfers to other countries with little if anything to show for the average citizen. 

The chart below shows just how much China has grown in the last 20 years.

 

Trump recognized that China was pulverising the US under both Democrats and Republicans.  All that change in trade represents industries you and I cannot find jobs in.

I pointed out in a few pieces. MAGA has been very economically beneficial to black Americans.

MAGA for African-Americans

All those black folks with higher wages than before thanks to the idea of bringing jobs BACK. Black folks stand to win with less illegal immigration and even legal immigration. Black folks stand to win with an America first ideology that brings back or creates manufacturing jobs that can employ those persons not particularly suited for jobs requiring advanced education.

It will be rather interesting if during the presidency of a Republican (in name only?) black unemployment drops significantly.

 In May 2017, the Trump administration sent letters to about 800 employees, saying they weren’t authorized to work in the United States, records examined by the Chicago Sun-Times show.

Those Hispanic employees didn’t return to work, leaving the bakery desperate to fill their jobs. So the company turned to another placement agency, Metro Staff Inc., and it provided Cloverhill with workers screened through the government’s “E-Verification” program. Most of those new employees are African American.

Ed French, owner of Elgin-based Metro Staff Inc., says his company became the main provider of workers for the bakery and that about 80 percent of them are black. According to French, workers at the bakery were paid slightly less before his company was hired two and a half years ago — with wages up by about 25 cents an hour, to just above minimum wage. 

And the news only got better from there. Record employment levels since the 1970s.  So again, credit where credit is due.  And now the bad.

Trump, unfortunately, looked at the presidency as he did Trump Inc.: A family affair. With the possible exception of Don. Jr., none of the family were in on Trump's stated policies. Jared, Ivanka and the lot were NY Democrats in a supposedly Republican admin. Trump seemed to be unduly influenced by Ivanka. This was disastrous. Ivanka didn't get Trump into the white house. Bannon did.  Bannon was soon shown the door due to Jarvanka. 

Trump is and always has been a "connector". He is a 'big picture" person who then delegates the hell out of the job at hand. When you run an organization like that you must trust the people you delegate to to do the job and understand and agree with the mission and are WILLING to do it. Trump, unfortunately, made hiring decisions that did not reflect what he STATED were his goals. Others had their own agendas. In either case Trump made a lot of bad hiring decisions on top of the nepotism.

Before we get into some of the failures of his hires, which are Trump's failures, we should get into his own immediate failures. Trump had railed against DACA during his campaign. As it was an executive order it could be rescinded by another one. Trump's people should have had that ready on day one. 

Day. One.

That one failure, in my opinion, foreshadowed all other failures. There was no reason to not have that ready other than Trump didn't really want to do it for whatever reason. Sure the Democrats and their media arm would have raised hell and certainly, a judge or two would have tried to stop it. Never mind all that. First, even if it did get struck down, which it did due to a complete failure of the courts to abide by the law, that it happened right out the gate would have sent a clear message to his opponents that he wasn't messing around. 

The second thing was the failure of the wall. Again, the admin should have gotten on the "and Mexico will pay for it" part straight away. There are states that charge remittance taxes on money transfers. Someone should have copied that legislation, changing whatever was needed and had that ready to go in the first 100 days. 

Then we had the failure of Sessions.

Jeff Sessions was a "genteel" man who was simply not up to the task at hand. Trump needed a shark AG. Sessions was not a shark AG. Sessions should have made it his business to not only deal with illegal aliens themselves BUT also to the state actors who enacted policies in direct contradiction to federal law.  Here's me back in November of 2017:

You can count me among those who are dismayed at the current state of affairs of the Justice [sic] Department. How we have states talking about being sanctuary states and cities talking about being sanctuary cities in blatant violation of federal law without action is beyond me. Why the mayors of NYC and LA haven't had a public perp walk with members of various city councils not indicted on RICO immigration law charges is also baffling to me. How the perpetrators of so called "hate crime" hoaxes haven't been charged with civil rights violations of the citizens they attempted to smear and intimidate is also of great concern to me.

       Hellooooo Session Justice Department

 

And: 

I'm going to focus on Sessions here. Since the campaign we have seen unprecedented levels of political violence mostly by leftist groups. We have seen a level of lawlessness, where governors and mayors have openly violated immigration law or stated their intent (which is what is needed for criminal prosecution) to violate immigration law. Various govt. officials have brazenly told police under their watch to allow persons designated "nazis" to be beaten and to have their constitutional rights violated. All of this has happened with mice level peeps from Sessions. This is unacceptable. Where there is a lack of law, lawlessness escalates.

        Kathryn Steinle: Victim of Liberal/Democratic Policies 

     

Lastly:

Lets take a walk down memory lane to when Obama was president. Arizona, a state, decided that it was going to finally "do something" about illegal aliens in it's borders. It passed a law that allowed it's officers to check the immigration status of anyone they stopped. The constitutional basis for this was that once police have probable cause to stop someone, they can use their discretion to inquire about immigration status. "Hispanic" leadership immediately took offense, saying that this amounted to racial profiling (Hispanic is not a race). Never mind that over 70% of illegal aliens in the United States are Mexican nationals and Arizona borders Mexico.

What did the Obama administration do? Did they sit on their ass? Did they give a news conference and then go about business as usual? No. The Obama administrationimmediately sued the state:

       In September of 2017 California passes a "sanctuary state" law. How long                 

Where is Sessions? Where is Trump?

When Arizona passed its laws, which the supreme court said wasn't within its rights because immigration is a federal issue, the Obama administration went directly into action. They didn't even wait for the law to go into effect. Meanwhile California brazenly proposed, passed and allowed a law that contravenes federal law and the only thing Sessions did was give a speech.

That is a disgrace. thats fucking incompetence or complete dereliction of duty

Yeah. I wasn't happy with Sessions.  He seemed more interested in confiscating money and property of people accused of crimes (rather than convicted of them) than dealing with the open treason that is the sanctuary city movement. So no I wasn't sad to see him go. The problem was that Barr was no different.

I think Trump took to Barr because Barr had previous experience, unlike Sessions.  Heck, I liked some of the things that Barr did early on. But I came to realize that Barr was a deep state snake. Yes. Barr is a deep state snake who used his position to unnecessarily delay the prosecution of the traitors who spied on the Trump admin (because it was traitorous regardless of who was elected) until the 2020 election with the hopes that Trump would be put out which would/should save everybody's neck.

Just like how Comey, after laying out the case against Clinton in regards to her server, decided that he still couldn't indict Clinton because supposedly it wasn't maliciously done, The Inspector General's report laid out the crimes of the fake dossier replete with where it came from and who paid for it. It clearly showed it was "foreign interference" and that various laws were broken. But he also gave them cover by making excuses for them rather than hauling them into court, given the probable cause, and making THEM convince a judge or jury that the state did not prove its case.

No Barr was a deep state agent whose job was to distract an easily distracted Trump with promises that reports are "coming soon". Maybe July. Maybe September. Oh wait, it wouldn't be "proper" to release a report during an election campaign. 

*wink*

Note how they hemmed up some low-level guy for falsifying an e-mail, yet as far as I know, nobody who lied to the FISA court has been prosecuted. Lying to the FISA court is a crime. We know who did so. How come they didn't get the 8AM raid? 

So yeah, Sessions was inept and Barr was a plant. Trump hired them both. Buck stops with him.

And while I'm on the subject; Why the HELL was Ben Carson not made Surgeon General, given his background?

Getting back to the nepotism angle, it cannot be overstated the damage that Jarvanka did to the Trump presidency. Again, the buck stops with Trump and he clearly was unable to see or understand that Kushner was out for self and his wife's political ambitions. Speaking of, Ivanka should understand that the Trump name is now dirt in many places and those who were in the Trump admin and family of Trump who didn't bail on him won't be allowed anywhere near elected office in any Democrat state.

But Kuchner has been making sure Kushner has been taken care of.  

Despite its incessant panhandling, the Trump campaign emerged in late November with a surplus of $7 million. Stepien reportedly didn’t know the campaign had money left in the coffers. But everything comes back to Kushner.

 

Despite its incessant panhandling, the Trump campaign emerged in late November with a surplus of $7 million. Stepien reportedly didn’t know the campaign had money left in the coffers. But everything comes back to Kushner.

“Nothing was done without Jared’s approval,” a former Trump campaign advisor told Business Insider. “What Stepien doesn’t know is because Jared doesn’t want him to know.”   

The use of shell companies is indeed nothing new in American political life. During the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC collectively funneled approximately $12.4 million through the law firm Perkins Coie to avoid properly disclosing an opposition research contract with Fusion GPS. That arrangement gave birth to the salacious Russian dossier. That figure is dwarfed, however, by the amount of money that evaporated in the hands of Kushner and the Trump campaign. Moreover, Democrats may have lost the 2016 election but at least got something for their money—opposition research, manufactured though it was.

On the other hand, the Trump campaign lost its bid for reelection, and no one has any idea what happened to nearly half a billion dollars. This doesn’t seem to bother Kushner, the man at the center of it all, who recently purchased a $30 million lot on Indian Creek Island, a private, guarded and gated redoubt in Florida with a 13-man police force for just 29 residences. And the fundraising machine appears ready to roll on. 

But that's not all. Kushner sold Trump on the racist idea that outreach to black voters was by "criminal justice reform". Yes, I called it racist. Why? Because even though black crime is WAY higher than white or Asian crime, most black people are law-abiding and are quite fine with criminal black folks being put in and kept in jail. There's a reason black folks, when they get money, generally leave black communities, unless that community is already black-gentrified.

One of the good things that Trump did in his campaign was to not talk to black people as black people but as citizens. No talk about civil rights. None of the slavery talk. Black people are not used to being spoken to as *equal* citizens. They are used to being scared into voting by being told about KKK a pending return of slavery and Jim Crow.  Never mind that those things never come to pass. 

So the outreach to black voters was essentially: "Look we let out a few people. Vote for us." Yeah, let's do photo ops with Kim K and Kanye West. Yeah, there are totally NO OTHER black people you could turn to. No there are no other issues more important to black voters.  

Meanwhile; white conservative voters, who put Trump over the top in 2016 went unappealed to. In fact the violence and de-platforming that started before Trump accelerated with Trump tweeting about how he's looking into it and big things are going to happen. Of course nothing did happen, at least from him.

And that was a repeating theme of the Trump presidency. A lot of tweets about big things and what he's looking into but very little of substance. He flip-flopped badly on the DACA thing. One day he's talking about ending it, another day he's talking about how something should be done *for* them.  Then his base howls and he backtracks. Which goes back to Trump's major flaw: His need to be liked; particularly by the people who oppose him. Trump could be best described as the big dog that barks loudly but is found to not have any teeth.

Some may point out that Trump got +3 conservative judge count on SCOTUS. Well IF your case gets that far it may be of some help. However; a lot of people will go broke and be forced into a settlement, if that, prior to getting to file for consideration by SCOTUS and SCOTUS may decide it doesn't want to hear the case. Worse, in terms of left-right, the newest trick of lawfare is to pass the law, announce the rule or start the legal intimidation and then when it looks like the case may get to an unfavorable judge, to stop enforcing and repeal the law, reverse the ruling or halt the prosecution so that the court decides that the case is "moot" and no precedent-setting decision can be made.

 Oops! My bad. *snicker*

By that time your business or organization has been either destroyed or irreparably harmed. Reputation sullied. Job lost , etc. Finances ruined. Exactly as planned. The Trump organization will probably see this action in the near future.

So Trump suffered many self-inflicted wounds by thinking he could use nepotism to battle the swamp. He made other bad hiring decisions that voluntarily gave key positions to people who were "swamp agents" who were able to distract him long enough to get him out of office. He himself, as noted earlier was shown to be the big, loud dog with no teeth.

In the next segment we'll see how Trump's weaknesses lead to his defeat.

Up Close with Bill Ritter Unwittingly Tells The Truth

 No, it's no secret that after 2016, I essentially stopped watching and listening to all MSM, right or left.  The amount a lies they propagandize is worthy of conspiracy theories on BitChute. 

Seriously.

But every now and then I have to tolerate the "news" as I'm not in control of the television in the place that I am staying and hence I get to see how bad it is or has gotten. I recall back in the day when I was learning about propaganda and power that many times those in power become so comfortable in their power that they let their true faces show, often by accident. If you are aware it is clear to you. If you are "woke" you don't get it. It's ironic that "woke" really means "eyes wide shut" these days. 

Anyway onto the purpose of this post. Bill Whitter who hates Trump more than anything allowed one of his guests to say the following without so much as a comment (time index 23:30).

"Frankly Look, The corporations are critical to Republicans controlling government or getting government back. Under Trump they lost The White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Hey, no corporate money, no free spending by corporations. Tell people, "Okay, guess what?" Things go wrong, and that's what really is happening here. It's a warning to the Republicans. "Get back in line". Stop making trouble, because if there's trouble, we can't make money. And if we can't make money, we don't need you." [My emphasis]

Just think of what was just admitted to here: Corporations own Republicans and Democrats who are "in line" and "not making trouble". So every voter who saw that knows that any elected official with any corporate backing is owned. They are "in line" and "not making trouble".

In that lies an opportunity across the board. A litmus test. If you think elected officials ought to "get in line" with citizens in their districts and state rather than corporations, then ask who they get their money from. Of they have corporate money you know they are bought. 

The funny thing is that liberals used to HATE and despise corporate power in politics. Now it's A-OK.

And the other funny thing is, Trump gave corporations lower tax rates (along with the rest of us) and they still dicked him. 

Ivermectin Works

 Unlike HCQ which is only effective as early treatment (stage 1), Ivermectin has been shown effective at all stages of a Wuhan virus infection. Many countries have been using this drug along with Zinc and vitamin D3 as both treatment as prophylaxis for healthcare workers as well as the close contacts, usually household members, of a person who has tested positive.

Yet, in Clown world, which includes America, the "experts" are still doing the anti-science that is lockdowns, masks and currently experimental 'vaccines". Big Tech companies have been acting as propaganda arms and enforcers for the elites by banning people for stating facts and "questioning" WHO, CDC and other "experts" as if  "questioning" isn't how science is actually done.

This brings me to the following report out of Buffalo:

A judge ordered Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital last week to give a Covid-19 patient an experimental treatment, and her family and attorneys say they believe that saved 80-year-old Judith Smentkiewicz's life.

The drug Ivermectin – a pill sometimes used to treat children with head lice or to rid dogs and cats of worms – is not yet approved by the federal government for use against Covid-19. But Smentkiewicz's son and daughter call it “a miracle drug” in their court papers.

So do her attorneys, Ralph C. Lorigo and Jon F. Minear.

“This lady was on a ventilator, literally on her deathbed, before she was given this drug,” Lorigo told The Buffalo News about Smentkiewicz, a Cheektowaga resident. “As far as we’re concerned, the judge’s order saved this woman’s life.”

A physician went against the family's wishes. That's strike one. Two, he refused to give medication that is known to be safe and has been in regular use for decades because of his politics. And understand it is nothing shorter than that. At this point there cannot be a medical professional that has NOT heard of Ivermectin and hence to not use it, particularly on a dying patient is, as far as I'm concerned criminal malpractice.

That it took a judge to order the doctor to do his job is troubling to say the least.

 Dr. Thomas A. Russo, one of the region’s leading experts on infectious diseases, said he was glad to hear that Smentkiewicz is doing better, but he said people should never jump to conclusions about Ivermectin or any other drug based on one patient’s outcome.

 

 He is not an expert.

“In less than 48 hours, my mother was taken off the ventilator, transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit, sitting up on her own and communicating,” Kulbacki said in a court affidavit.

This is not a one off. Again there are countries worldwide that use this drug and they have recovery rates in the 90 percentile. The US where Wuhan has been grossly politicized, recoveries are in the 50 percent range.

“While there are approved uses for Ivermectin in people and animals, it is not approved for the prevention or treatment of Covid-19,” the federal agency says on its website. “You should not take any medicine to treat or prevent Covid-19 unless it has been prescribed to you by your health care provider and acquired from a legitimate source … Additional testing is needed to determine whether Ivermectin might be appropriate to prevent or treat coronavirus or Covid-19.”

The FDA and CDC can fuck off entirely.

Shadows Of Rwanda

In 1994 Rwanda entered an orgasm of murder that shocked the world. Around 1.5 million people were killed during this chilling genocide. This genocide was long in coming as divisions between Hutu and Tutsi had been brewing for a long time. The "trigger" for the genocide was the downing of an airplane carrying Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana..

From WikiPedia: 

In March 1993, Hutu Power began compiling lists of "traitors" whom they planned to kill, and it is possible that Habyarimana's name was on these lists;^[90] the CDR were publicly accusing the president of treason.^[90] The Power groups also believed that the national radio station, Radio Rwanda, had become too liberal and supportive of the opposition; they founded a new radio station, Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM). The RTLM was designed to appeal to the young adults in Rwanda and had extensive reach. Unlike newspapers that could only be found in cities, the radio broadcasts were accessible to Rwanda’s largely rural population of farmers. The format of the broadcasts mirrored Western-style radio talk shows that played popular music, hosted interviews, and encouraged audience participation. The broadcasters told crude jokes and used offensive language that contrasted strongly with Radio Rwanda’s more formal news reports.^[100] In fact, just 1.52% of RTLM’s airtime was dedicated to news, while 66.29% of airtime featured the journalists discussing their thoughts on different subjects.^[101] As the start of the genocide approached, the RTLM broadcasts focused on their anti-Tutsi propaganda. They characterized the Tutsi as a dangerous enemy that wanted to seize the political power at the expense of Hutu. By linking the Rwandan Patriotic Army with the Tutsi political party and ordinary Tutsi citizens, they classified the entire ethnic group as one homogenous threat to Rwandans. The RTLM went further than amplifying ethnic and political division; it also labeled the Tutsi as inyenzi, meaning non-human pests or cockroaches, which must be exterminated.^[102] Leading up to the genocide, there were two hundred and ninety-four instances of the RTLM accusing the Rwandan Patriotic Army of atrocities against the Hutu, along with two hundred and fifty-two broadcasts that call for Hutus to kill the Tutsis.^[101] One such broadcast stated, “Someone must…make them disappear for good…to wipe them from human memory…to exterminate the Tutsi from the surface of the earth.”^[103] By the time the violence began, the young Hutu population had absorbed months of racist propaganda that characterized all Tutsis as dangerous enemies that must be killed before they seized control of the country. The RTLM’s role in the genocide earned it the nickname “Radio Machete” as it related to their incitement to genocide.^[104] One study finds that approximately 10% of the overall violence during the Rwandan genocide can be attributed to this new radio station.^[105] However, a recent paper questions the findings of that study.^[106] During 1993, the hardliners imported machetes on a scale far larger than what was required for agriculture, as well as other tools which could be used as weapons, such as razor blades, saws and scissors.^[107] These tools were distributed around the country, ostensibly as part of the civil defence network.^[107] 

 

 Why am I bringing this up? Because the US is behaving in a very similar matter. The recent events in DC has ratcheted this to 100. Where in Rwanda the "enemy" was called "cockroaches", in the US they are called "Nazis" and "White Supremacists". Not that there aren't actual neo-nazis (who are not fed agents) or  actual white supremacists, but it is simply not the case that those who have issues with the election, among other things are all white supremacists or Nazis or whathaveyou. This is nothing but the dehumanization of those who disagree with the left. 

To see people using eliminationist language such as "cleansing" is extremely disturbing to me. It is even more disturbing to me because it is going unchallenged. The language is being used in national NEWS broadcasts. 

Again, the Rwandan genocide was sparked off by a political act. Right now in America a political act has been used by people for rank political ends with genocidal commentary.  See below for examples.

The Trump Presidency: The Rise

 This will be the first in what I think will be 3 parts. The rise of Trump laid bare major splits in the country. These splits have ended friendships and even families. Moreover, based on what occurred in DC recently, an actual split of the country is not as far fetched as it was prior to 2016. I think that people who have been subject to the mainstream media narrative have a really distorted view of how Trump rose even if it was a squeaker. This part of the series is going to explain, at least for how I saw it, the rise of Trump. Sure there are and were "white supremacists" who want and wanted the return of the white man to power but really, this is 2016, they are not anywhere near as numerous as they were in the 1900s.  Just as I have the running days since Trump has been in office without re-introducing slavery, the constant hyperbole regularly used by Democrats should be seen as the fear-mongering distraction that it is

You cannot understand the rise of Trump without looking back to the Obama presidency. Just as the Obama presidency was made possible by the abject failure of GW Bush. As said in physics, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So we start with looking at the Obama presidency.

Obama came to power after the "war everywhere" administration of Bush. The Democratic party then was anti-war and hadn't handed the reigns to various communists and socialists. So at that time I was supportive of the DNC (even with issues with certain policies which would occur with any party). But the Obama admin was not anti-war. While I continued to be anti-war and anti-American imperialism, fellow blacks who were up to that point anti-war, suddenly became OK with American aggression. Obama, unlike Bush, had the Somali pirates killed. That was early in his first term in office. I said to myself, isn't it strange that the first black president is the one to escalate the confrontation with [poor] Africans to killing?

Fellow "pro black" and "free the land" black folks collectively shrugged their shoulders and said "meh, if Obama thought it was a good idea, then I'm good with it". 

To say I was alarmed by this sudden turnabout is an understatement.  Honestly, I disconnected from a lot of people over that. Reason being that I can't deal with that type of hypocrisy. Look, if you say you believe in X and you consistently promote X regardless of who is or is not doing X, then even if I disagree with you, I can respect that because at least your being consistent with what you state to believe.  Also, if you say you believe X and then you change to believe A and you explain with facts and data as to why you changed your mind, then I can respect that too. Why? Because we are all subject to failure so recognizing that one could be wrong and move to correct that position is admirable and a sign of high character.

But when one changes your position solely on the basis of "I'm the captain now", which is what happened to a LOT of black folk when Obama got into office, it is odious, LOW CHARACTER and unworthy of respect.

So Obama was doing weekly (or daily) kill lists which sometimes included innocents and those not on a field of battle, went without commentary from the anti-war types. 

Then Obama teamed up with the French to overthrow the government of Libya.

Once again, the first black president of the US, who has an African father, conspired with a European country to overthrow an African government.

Not a peep from 'Free the land" black folks. Well no, there were some who had something to say. But these were few and far between.

So at this point I lost all respect for so called black leadership. Done. And for the regular black on the street I was annoyed and dismayed by the sudden "pro black" attitudes when these same people would say "Chancellor who?' and "Walter What?" if you started asking them about foundational history texts that were required reading during my awakening.

Turning to the domestic front there were two, three things that I believe set up Trump.

The Ferguson Effect:

The media and many Democrats went all in on the idea that Michael Brown was "murdered" by Officer Wilson.  All the available evidence said otherwise, including testimony by his buddy and a black eyewitness who actually feared for his life and that of his mother. Yet this narrative continued to get pushed. There were black people that actually called for lynchings of white people.  

But at this point it became impermissible to discuss black crime or facts of black crime and specifically how it informs the number of blacks incarcerated and shot by police.

As a result of the false narratives pushed by left media, a few police officers in NYC and Dallas were killed. What did Democrats say? "Well if the police had checked their privilege..."

Really?

Imagine being white and seeing these obvious lies being broadcast.

The Rising Fascism:

When the state of North Carolina declared they weren't going along with the Tranny bullshit corporations lined up to financially blackmail the state. The Obama admin was cool with that.

When the ACA demanded that businesses pay for contraception and abortions even if they have conscientious objections, it was all hands on deck to punish those companies. 

This marked a serious growth in the cancel culture that had been percolating across the country.  Before this we had random, usually ex Bush cabinet members being uninvited from graduation ceremonies and things like that. But this was really the first high visibility event where the state and corporations joined hands to punish a state for doing "democracy" simply because they didn't approve of the outcome. In other words, corporations openly engaged in economic blackmail against it's enemies.  And the alarming thing was that the left was OK with it. Prior to Obama, the left was very wary of corporate power. They were particularly wary of corporate power to use money to influence or direct "democracy" but the Obama era saw this change and the left embraced corporate "cooperation" with state apparatus.

 

Government By The People For The Foreigner:

The coup de grace though, IMO, was the transformation of the US government into a agent of foreign nationals, referred to "immigrants". In a sane country, immigration is limited and immigrants are extremely grateful to have been allowed to enter and stay. People not in the country legally live in fear of being found and deported, as they should be. Trespassers should ALWAYS be worried about being caught.

This was a stated position of Democrats (even though they actually didn't mean it) as recently as Clinton.

That the government should exist for the benefit of citizens first and legal resident aliens second was never ever a point of contention prior to the Bush administration. The Obama presidency took this to a new level. 

That there were over 11 million illegal aliens living in the US (and it's FAR LARGER than 11 million) was a abject failure of government. The mass job displacement, which depressed wages and had an outsize effect on black Americans should have been something that Obama and orgs like the CBC should have been concerned about. Nope.

Why was this being pushed? Because, as I've discussed before, immigration is and was a weapon. The point of allowing high levels of both legal and illegal immigration for Democrats is to solidify one party rule where they already rule (NY, CA) and to change the demographics of the places they don't currently rule (GA, VA). Democrats cannot win elections, nationally, if white people dominate the population centers of various states. Hence by shipping in immigrants over the long term, their children are automatically citizens who will vote largely Democratic, As the latest election showed (we're going to set voting irregularities aside) Many Democratic state wins were actually large population cities surrounded by red. That is, the state is red, but the cities are blue. But that's for another post. 

Looking For A Voice:

So with these issues (and certainly others) in the minds of not left leaning people. When the primaries started two people shot to prominence for almost the same reasons; Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.

The reason for these two men rising was that they were seen as outsiders (though Bernie was in office, as a "Social-Democrat" he was seen as an outsider). Both candidates were calling the government corrupt and they were both right. The issue was that their solutions came from two different starting points. Bernie being a socialist essentially wanted to gut the rich and, importantly get them off the government teat (and vice versa). Trump declared that there was a swamp and that swamp needed to be drained. As you can seen both men had in common that the government was broken. Hence the rise of Bernie Bros and MAGA. This isn't a post on Bernie so I won't get into his fall.

Trump has always been media savvy. He knew how to get attention and keep it. He got free publicity for the entirety of his run. What got him support was his willingness to say the things that were politically verboten such as the crime of illegal aliens. It doesn't matter how little crime you think illegal aliens commit, they shouldn't be here committing any. Period. This shouldn't even be controversial. It certainly wasn't controversial when Barbara Jordan was in congress.  The DACA and DAPA that was created, unconstitutionally, by Obama was not only a slap in the face of citizens but of those resident aliens who had done everything by the book. But we already know WHY these things were done: demographics.

So Trump's pitch was that America was being plundered and "fake media" was enabling this plundering. What was needed was an America First policy which returned the government to benefiting it's citizens first. What's most disturbing thing about this was that it needed to be said. What sane government doesn't operate for the benefit of it's citizens first? A sane Republican and Democratic party would not have had a Trump in it because his platform was already presumed. Let me repeat. Trump's  platform, as recently as say the Clinton administration would have been met by "Of course. What else you got?"

Of course Mr.s Clinton helped by calling Trump supporters a "basket of deplorables". This was the first time in memory that a major candidate for one of the major parties openly insulted half the population. There wasn't even the pretense that Clinton was trying to be president of Americans. No, she was the president for the people who she approved of. The rest were deplorable people who should do as they are told.

Had Clinton simply gone after Trump the man and said HE was deplorable. That HE was immoral. Then that would have been different. I know people who feel that way about Trump. If that is important to them then who am I to tell them different. Some people will not support any leader, no matter how effective if they see them as immoral. Others are not looking for moral leadership from a president. Each are, in my opinion,  fair considerations. But to say that those that Trump appeals to ARE deplorable is an entirely different matter. That means those that hold to free speech are deplorable, Those who hold the 2nd Amendment rights are deplorable. Those who believe in the enforcement of immigration law are deplorable (again, a position that was standard DNC until Obama). If you insult the candidate I'm partial to, I may change my mind, But if you insult ME, then no way no how you get my vote.

An Assist From Antifa:

One of the big things that helped Trump was Antifa's antics. The assaults on people attending Trump rallies along with escalating  deplatforming of persons who though "conservative" didn't even like Trump soured a lot of people. The freedom to speak and assemble without being assaulted is a foundational concept. For those who hold to that concept every time they see a speaker violently opposed, they gravitate to the abused speaker and those who support him. Certainly, the more I saw this political violence and cancel culture the less I supported Democrats. That Democrats did not come out against this behavior but instead insisted on called the abused white supremacists and the like turned me off. 

That E-Mail Server:

The antics around Clinton's e-mail server put off a lot of people as well. It was clear to anyone who had principles that had anyone other than Clinton did what she did, they would be in jail. Clinton was example number one of The Swamp that Trump had campaigned on. Clinton was already not liked by a lot of people but that server issue, I believe, put Trump over the top; if barely. Certainly, Comey's non-indictment after laying out the evidence of actual law breaking didn't help Clinton. Of course, Sanders candidate wouldn't have had that baggage and I believe would have beaten Trump.

So these are the general reasons I see for why space had been created for a candidate Trump. It was 16 years in the making. That is the failure of Bush that seriously damaged the Republican brand *among Republicans and the excesses of Obama which unnecessarily inflamed racial issues, particularly in his second term that opened the way for Trump. The media was shocked by Trump's win in large part because they did not and DO NOT understand half of the country. In fact I would say more than half because I believe that while many Democrats vote liberal they live lives that are far more moderate than the party has become. 

Trump won, statistically speaking, due to former Obama voters in the mid-west who flipped to Trump. This fact is something to keep in mind for later parts of this series.

The Fire Next Time: DC Edition

 Been trying to think of a way to address what happened in DC yesterday. I'm not paid to be first or frequent so I can afford to sit and think. Thinking is in short supply these days. Everybody has an itchy trigger finger ready to say the most outrageous thing that gets the likes, shares and approval of social and family circles. Fortunately I have long advanced past that stage of immaturity.

First and foremost The Ghost has been against political violence from the jump. 

2016:

Dear Move On.Org: Please Fuck Off

There is free speech and there is treason and sedition. What we saw last week was the latter. In America, no candidate for office should be so threatened. Persons should be able to see and hear this candidate without fear of life, limb or property. Instead of MoveOn sending a message to it's membership condemning the behavior we saw. MoveOn asked for money for it's security systems.

Fuck Move On.

And fuck Clinton and Sanders. And Cruz and Kaisich. The DNC, the RNC and each and every representative that failed to stand up and speak forcefully against the behavior we saw last week. The condemnation of the behavior shown last week should have been across party lines, ideological lines and any other lines that American citizens have drawn for themselves. Violence and intimidation to enforce a political desire is and should be unacceptable. Period. That is the entire point of the right to vote and the entire point of freedom of peaceable assembly and petition of government. If the so called "leadership" cannot stand up for constitutional principles which is what "we are supposed to be". Then I get to call them traitors.

 I didn't spare political candidate, party or media company. How many of these outlets and persons have consistently been against political violence regardless of who does it?

The True Left Being Exposed

What? What? There are now "no go" places for American citizens seeking highest office?

When the hell did this happen?

Maybe these nitwits forgot that not too long ago in America there was a thing called the Civil Rights movement. The purpose of said movement was do break down the barriers of full rights of citizens for those who were being denied those rights. Before that, there were placed black people couldn't go, sit or eat. There were places where black people had to make sure they left before the sun went down. Where people who were aligned with organizations like the NAACP had to fear for their lives because people who thought like they did and advocated ideas they advocated for were unwelcome and could be lynched. We fought to end that shit and here is Chris Matthews suggesting that in 2016 America persons shouldn't go to certain places because the populations there may be violent towards them. This is coming from The Left.

 Again, I stand against political violence. But here we have Chris Matthews explaining it away.

Political Violence America

A person in the comments section asked what the shirt said as if that was of any excuse or valid explanation for the political violence meted out to the 62 year old man.

Once again we will find our sitting president absent in condemning the rising political violence that has marked this election. I have seen cases where signs supporting Trump have gone from lawns to windows because of property destruction that followed the placement of yard signs. This is unacceptable. It is unacceptable that both major political parties will not make a forceful public statement condemning the violence and for the federal government to fail to fully prosecute those individuals and groups who are engaging in domestic terrorism.

No US citizen should face violence, be it physical or economic for choosing to support or not support any candidate for office. Political thuggery is a deadly disease to any democratic system. Where citizens cannot feel secure to exercise their rights, society falls.

 That was the third post in 4 months of 2016 where I highlighted and condemned the growing political violence from every and any quarter. How many people tweeting and facebooking about DC had been doing that?

How many corporations were doing that? How many of these banks that suddenly found their mouths were doing that?

Not. A. One.

 

2017

This Is War

You need to understand. This is the first US election in my lifetime where violence occurred before and after an election. This is the first election in my lifetime that representatives of government, up to the sitting president (that would be Obama in this reference) did NOTHING to stop or punish this clearly politically motivated violence. We have celebrities among other lefty types openly calling for assasination[sic] of a sitting president. We have a celebrity calling for a military coup. We have officers of the court being openly partial. We have those charged with upholding the law directing their subordinates to not uphold the law.

When these people were walking around doing political violence and openly declaring WAR and that they would be "ungovernable" where were the calls to "shoot them now"?

Where were the calls for the insurrection act? Where were the calls to impeach members of congress who supported these people? Where was the calls of sedition and treason?

No. These people, who again, called openly for war had legal defense funds and pro-bono lawyers paid for by members of congress and celebrities. The same people who are now breathlessly talking about the 25th Amendment and how there was an attempted coup.

 

Where were these people in 2017?

 

America Is Broken

 The government response to Va, from Trump and Sessions on down has let the left know that it is open season to commit violence against those whom they disagree with. America has just become a much more dangerous place to live. If you are to the right of Antifa and they can tell you can have your financial life and "limb life" in danger. On the other side, if you're not white and you are out and about and some neo nazi or white nationalist or just some right of center person who feels threatened, realizes he has no non-violent means of being heard and having his legitimate issues addressed (which doesn't mean all his issues are legitimate) decides on venting his anger decides he's gonna take it out on the next non-white person he sees, well you're fucked.

There I point out how Antifa has been allowed to wander around critique free and without government intervention. Yet today, law enforcement and political figures are competing with each other to see who can 'get the domestic terrorist" the quickest. Rules for these folks and different rules for those folks.

Equal Protection or Second Class Citizenship?

Why is all this happening? It would be easy to blame Democrats or "The Left" but Holder is not in the Justice Dept and Obama is not president. The blame lies squarely on Trump and Sessions. I'm going to focus on Sessions here. Since the campaign we have seen unprecedented levels of political violence mostly by leftist groups. We have seen a level of lawlessness, where governors and mayors have openly violated immigration law or stated their intent (which is what is needed for criminal prosecution) to violate immigration law. Various govt. officials have brazenly told police under their watch to allow persons designated "nazis" to be beaten and to have their constitutional rights violated. All of this has happened with mice level peeps from Sessions. This is unacceptable. Where there is a lack of law, lawlessness escalates. Paypal etc. have done what they have done because the persons responsible for setting the tone have failed to do so. Even a failed attempt at prosecution is better than no prosecution at all.

 

You'll note I put the blame squarely on the Trump administration here. Again, I have been consistently against political violence and have called for enforcement of law regardless. Where were those mainstream voices doing the same?  Nowhere.

Lastly I'm going to jump to 2019:

Of Jussie and Andy

Antifa is a domestic (actually international) terrorist organization. It claims self-defense against those it labels Neo-Nazis. However; it regards anyone to their right (including moderates) as Neo-Nazis, hence anyone who disagrees with them is in danger of receiving the same treatment. 

This post is important because in it I highlight the mainstream media narratives:

That's right. When Antifa was beating up people these outlets among others made it a point to say that the violence wasn't terrorism. NOOOOOOOO. It's self defense. The people opposed to Antifa's "Self-Defense" well they are 'Far right extremists" who no doubt get what they deserve.

These same outlets are now telling us that what happened in DC is sedition, treason and terrorism. 

Rules for these people and rules for those people.

Lastly, remember the CHAZ, later renamed CHOP? The CHAZ was a declared "autonomous" state carved out of the state of Portland. The leadership declared it a zone where US law didn't apply and forbade US agents permission to enter.  at least 3 people were shot in this "autonomous zone"

What was the response to all of that? Various political leaders didn't want the national guard and even went so far as to compare the national guard to Nazi military. They were allowed to operate this "autonomous zone" for weeks with nary a peep from any of the mainstream media or political class about insurrection, sedition, treason or "shoot them all". No on called for the governor of Washington to be removed from office even though he CLEARLY supported a seditious and treasonous movement.

If you weren't condemning that treason and sedition and calling out political violence before yesterday you can have a whole cathedral full of seats.

 

The protestors had every right to go to DC. They had the right to go into the capital building. Under the law citizens have the right to PEACABLY assemble and petition their government. The property destruction was completely out of order. Anyone who was assaulted by the crowd was out of order and should be prosecuted. In other words I have the same opinion about their actions as I have had for any mass action that turns violent: I condemn the violence AND support the right of peaceful assembly. 

I'm old enough to remember when people "storming" a capital was "what democracy looks like"

Yeah, teacher's union protest in Wisconsin, 2011.

Sedition? Treason? Domestic terrorism? 

Here's The Nation on that:

The next day the Joint Finance Committee of the legislature held a hearing on Act 10. The TAA and other union protesters had planned a “people’s filibuster” of the bill, lining up hundreds of people to speak against it and extending the comment period all day and all night. The repeal of collective bargaining rights, they argued, had nothing to do with “repairing” holes in the budget; freezing their wages was one thing, and even increasing the amounts they had to contribute to their pensions and health insurance could at least be vaguely connected to a need for funds, but getting rid of their right to negotiate for a raise higher than the cost of living when the economy improved was very different and had little to do with the current budget problems. People were incensed. “We had people stuffed in the overflow room of the Capitol, people in line, and the unions were agitating outside,” Hanna said. As the comments stretched on into the evening, the protesters created the Defend Wisconsin Twitter account to send out updates. At the beginning of the day, Hanna said, they’d been told that testimony would continue until everyone had been heard, but sometime after midnight the legislators cut off the speakers, announcing they’d heard enough.

“We decided we were just going to stay,” Hanna said. She and her colleagues sent out messages via Twitter and Facebook, calling for people to join them at the Capitol and to bring sleeping bags. The TAA members invited their students, and they camped out in the Capitol rotunda. At 5:00 a.m., Hanna looked at the person next to her and said, “I guess this is happening!”

 

A "People's Fillibuster" eh?

Look. I'm not against what they did  in Wisconsin. And had the protestors in DC not destroyed property and entered offices, I wouldn't have anything negative to say about them either. But the idea that the people, whatever their political stripes have no right to protest on the grounds or IN THE BUILDING is flat out wrong.

Here's the nitty and the gritty. Trump won, by a sliver, because many millions of people didn't like what they saw going on. Although Trump lost this time (discussion in an upcoming post), MORE people voted for him this time than last time. There is MORE dissatisfaction out there. After a year of watching left violence go un-condemned and unpunished; after watching the governments destroy their livelihoods with various "Public health"  rules that only appear to apply to those in the disfavored classes, are you surprised that this happened? I'm not. I've been warning about it for YEARS.

Maybe people will wake up now.

Doubt it.
