Russian government asks Biden administration for invasion dates!

Sundance reports,
Yesterday, the Russians reminded the Ukraine government to set their alarm clocks so they did not miss the invasion. Today the Russian government asks the Biden administration for the invasion dates, they plan to use this year, so that Moscow can coordinate the vacation plans of key military and government officials.

"I'm a famous fuc#ing cyberterrorist!"

They openly they admit what they are doing!

Sundance reports,
During her prepared remarks today, a very happy Canadian Finance Minister declared that federal law enforcement (RCMP) has begun working with financial institutions to de-bank Canadian citizens, cancel insurance policies, remove access to credit cards, cancel mortgages and freeze the assets of Canadian citizens.
When asked specifically about Canadian citizens who donated to crowdfunding platforms GiveSendGo and GoFundMe, and whether those people will be targeted under the Emergency Act, Minister Freeland giddily affirmed those people are the actual targets, and the de-banking of those individuals is underway. This includes the seizure of digital currency and crypto-wallets.
In the earlier part of her remarks, Freeland noted that social media posts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc.) are being used as evidence against the targeted names identified within the donor lists. Tech platforms have provided people to work with Canadian federal officials, as they identify and cross-reference the donor files to their social media identities.

Tyrannical Trudeau

Ben Shapiro writes,
...From now on, dissent against left-wing perspectives may be criminalized. Watch what you say—your bank account is on the line.
Over the course of the past century, the political left made a promise: that if they were granted more and more centralized power, they would protect their citizens, particularly during times of emergency. That promise was always a lie, but the pandemic exploded that lie in particularly egregious fashion.
This left the left with two options: to abandon that article of faith, an idea central to their entire worldview; or to persecute heretics. Trudeau, unsurprisingly, has chosen the latter. Emergency powers will be necessary until the people enthusiastically agree that their betters in government ought to rule them.

Hillary Clinton, master of scandals!

Victor Davis Hanson reminds us that
Hillary Clinton by now is an old master of scandals. Her lifelong oeuvre is vast — the cattle futures scam, Rose law firm missing documents, Travelgate, Uranium One shenanigans, missing emails, and the Steele dossier.
But the ongoing effort of her paid associates to tap into the top-secret communications of a presidential candidate and further use such illicit information to ruin the American presidency will go down as her greatest masterpiece of deceit.

Flipping the switch to dictatorship!

Ace of Spades takes note of Trudeau's flipping of the switch to dictatorship in Canada and the accompanying silence of the media and people who used to identify as conservatives.
What we used to call "conservatism" had two different parts to it.
One, an ideological part, one that favored freedom, religion, business, and such,
and two, a merely factional part, dedicated to preserving the Right To Rule of the Ruling Class, the right of the "Higher Orders" to rule over the "Lower Orders."
"Conservatism" united those who wanted to retain traditions with those who wanted to retain traditional ruling structures.

No protocol!

Glenn Greenwald calls out the hypocrisy of Twitter's pre-election Hunter Biden reporting

Can we allow this to continue?

Regarding the Palin vs. New York Times case, Ace of Spades writes,
A New York City jury has refused to find a leftwing political organization liable for the deliberate harm it inflicted a conservative icon.
How long can we allow ourselves to be tried in NY and DC courts? Or attempting to prosecute Democrats in NYC and DC courts?
The left is so monolithically clannish they've made themselves un-prosecutable or un-suable in their home courts. And when a conservative appears before their kangaroo courts -- get ready to go to prison for four years for "parading."
Can we allow this to continue?
We need a right of removal to less partisan jurisdictions in cases involving a strong political charge. The ability of the left to put politics out of their minds and judge cases on the facts can not be assumed; in fact, a major claim of the left is that to judge cases on their individual merits, rather than on their social implications, is racist.

The danger of critical race theory

Marc Theissen writes,
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. did not argue that America was systemically racist; he argued that racism was un-American. He appealed to the Enlightenment ideals contained in what he called our “magnificent” Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and declared his goal was to take “the whole nation back to those great wells of democracy, which were dug deep by the Founding Fathers.” King argued Bull Connor, head of the Birmingham, Ala., police, and the Southern racists were violating the principles of the American founding. But critical race theory argues the opposite — that Connor was the fulfillment of the American founding, because America was founded to perpetuate white supremacy.
Why is this dangerous? As Richard M. Weaver famously said, “Ideas have consequences.” Critical theory has led to the rise of ideologies that have killed millions. “We have paid severe prices at those moments when people have lost faith in reason and decided to defect to something else,” Guelzo says. “Those are the moments when genocide rears its hideous head.”
By rejecting reason, he argues, critical race theory could provoke a backlash that drives others “into equal, but opposite irrationality” such as “genuine white supremacy. … If your critical race theory is impervious to questioning and evidence, then fine: I will retreat into my critical race theory and it too will be impervious to evidence and the questioning. At which point then the only solution becomes violence.”
This is why CRT is so dangerous — and must never be used to indoctrinate America’s children.

Standing with the truckers!

A performance!

Sundance writes,
We already know the baseline fraud from the Joe Biden White House. They have built out an elaborate and fabricated scenario that Russia is going to attack Ukraine. The have used the political control operatives within the IC, Pentagon and State Dept to manufacture their claim. There is no attack planned and there never was. The absence of the attack will be declared a brilliant and strategic victory by the Biden administration. That’s the plan.
In this ‘wag the dog’ scenario, Ukraine President Vladimir Zelensky is being used as a pawn, as the United States keeps up the pretense. However, in a pretty smart move today, Zelensky tells the world –very publicly– the Americans have informed him of the exact date of the Russia attack (which he knows is never coming).
“February 16 will be the day of attack” on Ukraine by Russia, said a post on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s Facebook page accompanying a video address to his country on Monday night. (link) Wednesday aligns with the previous statements from the White House and State Dept.
Remember, this is all a pantomime, an elaborate ruse, a complete farce. The Biden crew picked this week because several months ago Russia announced they were conducting military exercises in Western Russia near the Ukraine border. The United States is fabricating their claim of a pending Russian invasion of Ukraine around these Russian exercises. When the invasion/attack doesn’t happen, Biden officials will declare a strategic geopolitical victory.
Next week the Biden team will be on television telling stories about how their strategic geopolitical excellence averted a thermonuclear war that was never coming in the first place. Believe me, tens of millions of Americans will fall for it, because the reality of what took place is just too grand in scale, too bizarre, to fathom.
Last point, do not ignore an important point that Republicans in DC know this is all a performance. They fall into two groups. Group #1 are involved in the pretense, and Group #2 won’t call it out because they are fearful of the media portraying them as nuts.

The question is whether Washington has the appetite to control them before it’s too late.

Joel Kotkin writes,
Today we see the rise of a few companies, who have moved into virtually every aspect of our economy. The nerds of Silicon Valley are no longer just interested in gadgets to make life better but are seizing control of both the production and dissemination of information. Arguably the greatest beneficiaries of a pandemic that hooked people ever more on their products, the tech giants now have the capital to lead the drive into space and the forced march to electrical vehicles, while also looking into dominating more prosaic fields like healthcare and finance.
in the past few decades, the largest emerging corporate interests—Meta, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon—and a handful of large financial institutions gained unprecedented control over the economy. By last summer six tech firms, including Tesla, accounted for half the value of the NASQAQ 100. By 2020, the five largest tech companies had total revenue amounting to half of those of all state governments combined.
In virtually every key field— operating systems, social media, search, the cloud—a handful of firms now dominate. For example, Google and Apple account for nearly 90 percent of all mobile browsers worldwide, while Microsoft by itself controls 90 percent of all operating system software. Three tech firms now account for two-thirds of all on-line advertising revenues, which comprises the vast majority of all ad sales.
Our new chieftains have no national allegiance. Today’s corporate hegemons see themselves not as national identities, but global ones. They don’t even depend much on our own education system: some 75 percent of Silicon Valley’s workforce are not even citizens. Many are H-IB indentured servants, “technocoolies,” brought in short-term contracts to do work they don’t have to pay Americans to do.
Virtually all our elite, particularly on Wall Street as well as Silicon Valley, is betting on China, and seem far less than interested in helping America, or liberal capitalism, stand up to autocracy than making ever more profits in the short-term. Their advocacy for “zero-carbon,” which will make energy far more expensive, reflects a priority expressive of both virtue signaling and an opportunity to make profits, even at national expense.
Donald Trump’s 2020 loss may have been caused by his far from adept handling of the pandemic, but also efforts heavily financed by tech oligarchs like Mark Zuckerberg, who spent hundreds of millions of dollars on getting the desired electoral result. The oligarchs had many business reasons to detest both Trump and his loudly nationalist policies, and have openly boasted, as pointed out in Time (owned by Salesforce’s Mark Benioff) of their success in removing the former President.

The Great Replacement is not a conspiracy theory

The editors of The American Mind write,
Last August, Census data showed a decline in America’s white population for the first time since 1790, when the Census itself began. Filmmaker Michael Moore called this the “best day ever in U.S. history.” Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post called it “fabulous news.” Those who gleefully celebrate rising deaths of despair and plummeting fertility among any group of Americans are no friends to this country or its way of life.
Americans should be bold in exposing this elite minority’s deceitful efforts to uproot and demoralize those who defy them. That means speaking clearly about the aims which the ruling class itself declares, and refusing to be intimidated by smear campaigns. The Great Replacement is not a conspiracy theory, and it is not racist to talk about it. We are not afraid to do so. Nor should Americans be.

The Soviet Union, like modern leftism today, appropriates and exploits the struggle of ordinary people while simultaneously making things worse for them.

Censorship-happy police states

JJ Sefton writes,
And speaking of the Islamic caliphate, it should be noted that it has a major beachhead in Canada. Just ask Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn about barely surviving the attempt to "Mus-zzle" them by a Canadian human rights council about 15 years ago. Yeah, the will to power and the totalitarian impulse is sadly nothing new in Canada and elsewhere. The past "two weeks" (100 in real time) put it into overdrive, transforming what we thought were bastions of western civilization and freedom - Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the USA - into concentration camp-building, political prisoner-jailing, and censorship-happy police states.

Defending in court the most egregious use of the media's power to defame.

CBD writes,
The 1st Amendment does not say that the press should be elevated above all others. Yet the current conceit is to grant them unlimited freedom to defame, unlimited access to all information (even when it does real damage to America and its interests)...license that real Americans do not have.
It is long past time to judge the press according to the norms of behavior that a traditional culture finds acceptable. Choosing one political side and defaming the other is not what the framers intended for the press.
If a simple replacement of a newspaper name with a private citizen would yield a different verdict, then the law and its interpretation by a misguided judiciary is wrong!

Amazing research!

Sundance reports,
Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01. DHS came along in 2002 and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed. When Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition.
The preexisting Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Dept of Justice (DOJ) were then repurposed to become two of the four pillars of the domestic national security apparatus. However, this new construct would have a targeting mechanism based on political ideology. The DHS, ODNI, DOJ and FBI became the four pillars of this new institution. Atop these pillars is where you will find the Fourth Branch of Government.
Prior to the ODNI, We The People were what the intelligence system was designed to protect. After the ODNI was created, We The People were now defined as the potential threat. The continuity of government was now what needed to be protected…. FROM US!

"Trudeau is a bully checkmated by his own immoral choices."

When you boil down why Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. won the battle for civil rights, it’s because he was right, and by right, I mean morally right.
What Democrat Gov. George Wallace was to the civil rights movement, Justin Trudeau is to the Freedom Convoy.
Like George Wallace and his fellow Democrat Bull Connor and all the Democrats who created and enforced Jim Crow, Trudeau is a bully checkmated by his own immoral choices.

A new bird flu outbreak?

Federal authorities are planning to increase its monitoring of wild, migratory birds to better track bird flu, which can be spread from wild birds to livestock. dpa/picture alliance via Getty Images Reuters reports,
The disease is already widespread in Europe and affecting Africa, Asia and Canada, but the outbreak in Indiana, which is on a migratory bird pathway, particularly rattled U.S. producers. A devastating US bird-flu outbreak in 2015 killed nearly 50 million birds, mostly turkeys and egg-laying chickens in the Midwest.

Do you have “cluttered memoryscapes?"

Sarah Sloat reports,
There’s a paradox in memory science: Empirical evidence and life experience both suggest older adults have more knowledge of the world. However, in laboratory settings, they generally perform worse on memory tests than younger adults. What can explain the disparity?
The answer might be “clutter,” according to a review of memory studies published Friday in the journal Trends in Cognitive Science.
“Many of us have the experience of being unable to recall a person’s name or locate where we left our keys, only to have that information pop into our head later,” he added.
Amer and colleagues argue this happens more frequently as people get older, not because they are losing brain plasticity or progressing toward amnesia, but because of these “cluttered memoryscapes.” Memories include the target information — what one is being asked to recall — and irrelevant information.

Which music would you play?

Rob Gillies and Mike Householder report,
WINDSOR, Ontario (AP) — A tense standoff at a U.S.-Canadian border crossing crucial to both countries’ economies appeared to be dissolving peacefully Saturday as Canadian police moved in to disperse the nearly weeklong blockade and demonstrators began leaving without resistance.
The protests have reverberated outside the country, with similarly inspired convoys in France, New Zealand and the Netherlands, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned that truck protests may be in the works in the United States.
Protests inspired by the Canadian demonstrations were seen in parts of Europe on Saturday.
At least 500 vehicles in several convoys attempted to enter Paris at key arteries but were intercepted by police.
In the Netherlands, meanwhile, dozens of trucks and other vehicles ranging from tractors to a car towing a camping van arrived in The Hague, blocking an entrance to the historic parliamentary complex. Protesters on foot joined them, carrying a banner emblazoned with “Love & freedom, no dictatorship” in Dutch.
Earlier this week in New Zealand, protesters rolled up to Parliament grounds in a convoy of cars and trucks and set up camp. Police have taken a hands-off approach after initial attempts to remove them resulted in physical confrontations.
Parliament Speaker Trevor Mallard on Friday ordered his staff to turn on the lawn’s sprinklers to douse them and to play Barry Manilow tunes and the 1990s hit “Macarena” over loudspeakers to annoy them. Protesters responded by playing their own songs, including Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”

24 million taxpayers are still waiting for the IRS to process returns from last year!

Lisa Rein and Tony Romm report,
Nearly 24 million taxpayers are still waiting for the Internal Revenue Service to process their tax returns from last year — a number far larger than previously reported by the agency — with many refunds being held up for ten months or more.
The inventory of unprocessed returns and related correspondence was provided by the IRS’s taxpayer advocate service to the tax-writing committees in Congress. The backlog will probably further slow service in the 2022 filing season; the Treasury Department, the IRS’s parent agency, warned in January that it expected its response to be subpar this year.

Doctor Who Helped Discover Omicron Says She Was Pressured Not to Reveal It’s Mild.

Jack Phillips reports,
The doctor who helped discover the Omicron COVID-19 variant claimed that she was pressured by several government officials not to reveal that it was a milder strain.
Speaking to Germany’s Welt newspaper, Dr. Angelique Coetzee, who is currently the head of the South African Medical Association, said that during discussions with European officials, she was told not to say that Omicron patients presented milder symptoms than prior COVID-19 variants.
During her discussions, she recalled what she had told the other officials. “What I said at one point—because I was just tired of it—was: In South Africa, this is a mild illness, but in Europe, it is a very serious one. That’s what your politicians wanted to hear.”

Biden's newest appointment is Sam Brinton. Sam has sex with animals and prefers "they/them" pronouns. Robert Spencer reports,
Sam Brinton (“they/them”), had some “pretty BIG news” for his friends and followers on LinkedIn recently: “I have accepted the offer to serve as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy for the Department of Energy. In this role I’ll be doing what I always dreamed of doing, leading the effort to solve the nation’s nuclear waste challenges.” Brinton also noted proudly that he would “even be (to my knowledge) the first gender fluid person in federal government leadership.” He is much more than that. He is, to the best of my knowledge, the first drag queen and the first person to discuss his affinity for sex with animals to hold an office of the public trust.

Ideological dystopias

Victor Davis Hanson writes,
What ultimately destroyed the evil empires of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were bankrupt dogmas. Crackpot ideology destroyed free expression. It ruined meritocracy and ensured unequal application of the laws—and so paved the way for far worse.
Why were most Antifa and Black Lives Matter criminals who looted, destroyed, and assaulted during the 120 days of summer 2020 not charged, much less tried? Why, in contrast, were the January 6 rioters or the current Canadian truckers treated disproportionately harshly by the media?
When ideology in places like Castroite Cuba, the old Soviet Union, and Venezuela warped the application of the law, destroyed the role of merit in assessing qualifications, silenced speech, and unequally applied the law, then society unwound.
In such ideological dystopias, eventually even the shelves empty, the currency becomes worthless, and the nation regresses into poverty and chaos. Is that the future we await?

"We face the extinction of a civilization built on liberty, freedom, and equality."

Janet Levy refers us to a book written by Kenneth Abramowitz entitled, The Multifront War: Defending America from Political Islam, China, Russia, Pandemics and Racial Strife.
According to Abramowitz, the chief enemies within are the Reds, the Greens, and the Blues. Together, they fight against the Yellows, representing the sunlight of Western civilization, founded on the 3,800-year-old Judeo-Christian traditions and the 250-year-old tradition of secular, constitutional law. The Reds are the communists -- China, Russia, North Korea, and the American Left. The Greens are the Islamists -- Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, and hundreds of Islamist groups around the world. The Blues, named for the color of the United Nations, are the globalists -- the WHO, the International Criminal Court, NGOs, and multinational corporations like Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Sacrificing American values, they have adopted Chinese morality to pursue profit in the huge market that is communist China.
Abramowitz identifies a fourth, passive enemy -- the Whites (named for the flag of surrender). He also calls them the isolationists, average citizens who live their lives and do their jobs but do not engage with the issues du jour, believing they are immune to political winds and potential threats. They unwittingly aid and abet the Reds, Greens, and Blues.
The Reds, the Greens, and the Blues have infiltrated Western societies and gained substantial influence and control over politicians, institutions, the media, and Big Tech. Abramowitz says they operate in six arenas -- physical, cultural, economic, demographic, legal, and cyber.
Physical warfare, although kinetic, does not always involve combat. It includes the stealthy use of biological and chemical weapons – for example, pathogens such as anthrax and the coronavirus, and addictive substances like the opioid fentanyl, whose trafficking into the U.S. from Mexico resulted in 100,000 American deaths last year.
Cultural warfare constitutes the framing of narratives that engender fear and doubt and destroy societal norms. Some of these narratives aim to suppress certain kinds of speech while redefining, neutralizing, and weaponizing other kinds -- like in ‘newspeak’ from Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984. Such narratives are propagated by a growing army of operatives in academia, the media, the educational system, and organizations such as Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
Academia -- chiefly leftist humanities departments in universities -- has been most effective in recruiting and training that army by indoctrinating impressionable young students with Critical Race Theory (CRT), the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) paradigm, and fallacious theories of gender fluidity. Hypnotized by vague but thrilling theories, their youthful idealism hijacked by specious arguments, they begin to nurse messianic notions. On graduating, they eagerly join in the revision of national history and the calumniation of religious and ethical principles.
On the economic front, policies such as ESG (Environment, Social Justice, and Good Governance) and the Green New Deal are clear assaults on the nation’s prosperity. Many American corporations have hypocritically been promoting these policies, constricting economic activity at home while advancing business in China, the world’s biggest polluter. Championing social justice at home, they ignore China’s atrocities on the Tibetans, Hongkongers, Uighurs, and Falun Gong. Paying lip service to good governance in the U.S., they support and kowtow to authoritarian China.
Demographic warfare is most evident on our porous southern border. But it’s being waged from many directions and is a massive threat to national security. Last year alone, two million people -- from Haiti, Chile, Somalia, Eritrea, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries of terrorist concern – breached the U.S. illegally. The campaign for “abortion rights” is also a part of the plan for demographic disruption. If abortion seems reasonable, you might disabuse yourself of the idea with this statistic: in 2021, abortion was the leading cause of death globally (43 million), more than from cancer, malaria, HIV/AIDS, smoking, alcohol, traffic accidents combined.
Lawfare -- or the legal fight against Western civilization -- is evidenced by the plethora of lawsuits against First Amendment rights. Corporations are coerced into having ‘diverse’ boards and workforces at the cost of competence and excellence. University professors are fired, censured, or canceled for ‘wrongthink.’ Businesses face lawsuits for refusing to provide services that run against their owners’ religious beliefs. During the COVID pandemic, the executive branch usurped individuals’ and states’ rights through many federal mandates. Municipalities and local governments imposed arbitrary standards of operation for businesses and schools.
On the cyber front, the U.S. has faced security breaches by China, North Korea, Russia, and others. During the 2020 presidential elections, malfeasance of internal and external origin was suspected. Concerns about data exfiltration and network disruption loom large. Chinese hackers have targeted news organizations and may have recently breached News Corp and stolen data on journalists and other employees. North Korean agents have targeted U.S. critical infrastructure, including defense contractors. In 2014, its agents infiltrated Sony Pictures and leaked confidential employee data to prevent the release of a film on the assassination of Kim Jong-un. A recent study by Microsoft found that the vast majority of cyberattacks are by Russian intelligence gatherers.

Superficial diversity

Ace of Spades open-blogger Joe Mannix writes,
The "diversity is our strength" crowd is remarkably non-diverse where it counts: ideas.
In a very real sense, diversity is our strength - but "diversity" doesn't mean what the high priests of the diversity cult say it means. That priesthood has but one definition of diversity: the superficial one. Diversity of thought and ideas is not a strength to them, it is oppression and supremacism. To the priesthood, actual diversity is their enemy and only perfect conformity is acceptable.

Patrick Hauf reports,
The Biden administration is set to fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance "racial equity."
The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. Included in the grant, which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, are funds for "smoking kits/supplies." A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and "any illicit substance."

Double Standard!

Ian Miles Cheong reports,
Crucially, GoFundMe has supported violent, illegal movements such as CHAZ/CHOP but has cited “police reports of violence and other unlawful activity” and its policies against “violence and harassment” as its reason for seizing the Freedom Convoy’s crowdfund.

Catholic Carities Admits Receiving Money From Biden Administration to Traffic Illegals Across U.S.

Shane Trejo reports,
The Biden regime is not just allowing the third-world migrant invasion with lax border policies, but also are subsidizing the relocation of illegal aliens across America through the direct funding of NGOs engaged in trafficking operations.
One of those is Catholic Charities. Read more here: https://bigleaguepolitics.com/catholic-charity-admits-receiving-money-from-biden-administration-to-traffic-illegals-across-u-s/

"Don’t worry if you don’t have a swastika flag. The agents provocateurs and the official propagandists in the corporate media will take care of that!"

A game of chicken!

C.J. Hopkins writes,
We are in that dangerous, absurdist end-stage of the collapse of a totalitarian system or movement where chaos reigns and anything can happen. The official Covid narrative is rapidly evaporating. More and more people are taking to the streets to demand an end to whole fascist charade … no, not “transphobic white supremacists” or “anti-vax extremists,” or “Russian-backed Nazis,” but working-class people of all colors and creeds, families, with children, all over the world.
There is a narrow window — a month or two, maybe — for governments to declare “victory over the virus” and roll back their segregation systems, mask-wearing mandates, “vaccine” mandates, and the rest of the so-called “Covid restrictions.” Many governments are already doing so, England, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Ireland, etc. They have seen which way the wind is blowing, and they are rushing to dismantle the New Normal in their countries before … well, you know, before a convoy of angry truckers arrives at their doors.
If they let that happen, they will find themselves in the unenviable position that Trudeau is now in. The Canadian truckers appear to be serious about staying there until their demands are met, which means Trudeau only has two options: (1) give in to the truckers’ demands, or (2) attempt to remove them by force. There’s already talk about bringing in the military. Imagine what an unholy mess that would be. Odds are, the military would disobey his orders, and, if not, the world would be treated to the spectacle of full-blown New Normal Fascism in action.
Either way, Trudeau is history, as long as the truckers stand their ground. I pray they do not give an inch, and I hope the leaders of other New Normal countries, like Australia, Germany, Austria, Italy, and France, are paying close attention.
This is it. This is that fight. It is not a protest. It is a game of chicken. A high-stakes game of political chicken. In the end, politics comes down to power. The power to force your will on your adversary. GloboCap has been forcing the New Normal on people around the world for the past two years. What we are witnessing in Canada is the power of the people, the power the people have always had, and which we will always have, when we decide to use it … the power to shut down the whole GloboCap show, city after city if necessary.
So get out there and support the Canadian transphobic Putin-Nazi truckers … or your local transphobic Putin-Nazi truckers. Don’t worry if you don’t have a swastika flag. The agents provocateurs and the official propagandists in the corporate media will take care of that!

Who is the "fringe minority?"

Glenn Reynolds writes,
So we’re finally seeing a genuine, bottom-up, working-class revolution. In Canada, and increasingly in the United States, truckers and others are refusing to follow government orders, telling the powerful that, in a popular lefty formulation, if there’s no justice, there’s no peace.
A working-class revolution led by the working class is the left’s worst nightmare because the working class doesn’t want what the left wants. The working class wants jobs, a stable economy, safe streets, low inflation, schools that teach things and a conservative, non-adventurous foreign policy that won’t get a lot of working-class people killed. It’s not excited about gender fluidity, critical race theory, “modern monetary theory,” foreign adventures and defunding police.
Worse yet, a huge part of the lefty self-image revolves around feeling superior to the working class and openly expressing disdain for it. One need spend only a few minutes tuning into left media like NPR, CNN or MSNBC to hear the disdain for working-class Americans, inhabitants of “flyover country,” people who live in the middle of nowhere.
That’s why, even as they legitimize and valorize outright rioting and violence by leftist groups, lefties vilify every working-class protest movement, going back before the Tea Party. In Canada, the press even tried to pretend that the thousands of truckers driving to the capital city of Ottawa were actually Russian agents. When that failed, it fell back on its old standard, calling them fascists, Nazi sympathizers and white supremacists.
And that class war, which has been going on for a couple of decades of working-class stagnation and upper-class prosperity, went into overdrive during the pandemic.
Under COVID, we got “lockdowns” in which the laptop class stayed home “keeping safe” while the working class delivered groceries to their doors. Meatpacking plants, grocery checkout lines and especially trucking stayed open, while law firms, universities and media organizations closed their doors and sent staff home to work.
As for a “fringe minority,” as Trudeau called them, well, as Elon Musk noted in a tweet, if the Canadian government’s positions had substantial support, the truckers would have faced significant numbers of counterprotesters. But they did not. The government itself is the fringe minority, with its only support coming from the loyal sycophants of the media.
Right now Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden are worrying about truckers coming out. They should really worry about truckers staying home.

Ottawa police chief promises to end Freedom Protest

Bad news from Canada! Sundance reports,
Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly held a press conference on Friday announcing measures to combat the continued Freedom Convoy protests in the streets, and to block any additional protesting support from arriving. [Full Presser Here] In essence, the Ottawa police are going to use domestic terrorism authority against the Canadian freedom protest groups.
The outlined measures include deploying an additional 150 municipal police officers and undercover federal agents to infiltrate the protest and gather intelligence useful for the purpose of eliminating their effort.
Chief Sloly outlined that federal intelligence authorities will be “collecting financial, digital, vehicle registration, driver identification, insurance status and other related evidence that will be used in prosecution.”
The jackboots will focus on using acts of mischief, hate, harassment, intimidation and other threatening behaviors, whether real or created by Canadian intelligence operations, to target the protestors.
Additionally, a “surge and contain” strategy will be used to isolate the protest in the red zone area in front of Parliament Hill. Ottawa police will use heavy concrete barriers as barricades, to create no-access roadways throughout the downtown core, and they will likely close highway off-ramps and bridges to stop additional support and/or protest groups from arriving.
The goal is to isolate the current protest groups, cut off their supply and support logistics and pick them off.
This is what happens when we let the totalitarian state -and all the politicians who benefit from it- grow over years, unchecked, until it reaches a point where your freedom is doomed to perish.
Everyone in the USA should be paying close attention.
This is exactly how Fascism and Communism rise inside the walls of a previously free and independent system. Canada is the literal representation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. The novel projects how the people of Russia Canada can so easily fall prey to a totalitarian regime while their dreams were for a freer country with greater equality.

Is it now becoming an epidemic of the vaccinated?

John Hinderaker reports,
As I have said many times, covid is with us to stay. As Dr. Fauci has acknowledged, pretty much all of us are going to get it sooner or later, much like the common cold. We would do well to intensify the search for effective treatments, especially since we may find that therapies that treat covid successfully will also work for colds and flu. A first step toward a focus on effective treatment would be to stop censoring discussion of covid treatments. Such censorship is one of the weirdest aspects of an epidemic that has had many weird features.

The largest single day decline for a U.S. company in history!

Zachary Halaschak reports,
Facebook parent company Meta shed more than $220 billion in market capitalization on Thursday, the largest such single-day decline for a U.S. company in history.
Meta’s stock closed down more than 26% on Thursday, an 85-point decline. The drop was largely driven by a quarterly earnings report that found the company was hemorrhaging daily users for the first time in its history. CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally lost about $24 billion.

Oswald alone? No! Justice for Dorothy Kilgallen!

Mark Shaw reports,
More than 10,000 people attended Dorothy Kilgallen's funeral. She had launched an eighteen month investigation of the JFK assassination. When she died, the F.B.I.swarmed in and took all her valuables. None of her family has stood up to demand justice or an investigation of her death, which was attributed to alcohol and three different barbituates.
One week after the JFK assassination Dorothy wrote a column urging the authorities not to close the investigation. She interviewed Jack Ruby twice.
J.Edgar Hoover let it be known that he was upset with Kilgallen's reporting on the JFK assassination. She recommended Hoover to look into the facts she had uncovered, rather than examining how she had uncovered the facts. She also called the Warren Commission's findings "laughable."
Dorothy told her hairdresser Mark Sinclair a few weeks before she died that she was "scared for her life." She knew the target was on her back. She connected New Orleans mobster Marcelo to Ruby and Oswald.
At Ruby's trial a witness told the court that Ruby was looking at the Book Depository building when JFK was killed, inplying that Ruby knew about the shooting ahead of time.

The reporter who knew too much!

ACTV of Allen Texas writes,
Author and former criminal defense attorney, Mark Shaw, speaks about his book "The Reporter Who Knew Too Much" and its follow-up, "Denial of Justice." Each chronicle not only his 12 years of research but most importantly, the life and times and mysterious death of What's My Line? TV star and crack investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen and her 18-month investigation of the Dallas tragedies which included being the only reporter to interview Jack Ruby at his trial. Shaw also discusses his controversial exposure of the most important JFK assassination documents in history, the Jack Ruby trial transcripts.
Shaw is a great admirer of Dorothy Kilgallen. At the same time, he is not a fan of J. Edgar Hoover! Shaw thinks the mafia was involved. Dorothy saw Ruby as the key, and so does Shaw. Dorothy was there at the Ruby trial and she was in possession of the transcripts. She intended to publish, but she was murdered, Shaw believes. Shaw tried unsuccessfully to persuade the New York Attorney General to investigate Dorothy's death. Oswald was clearly involved, but he had loose lips, claiming, "I was just a patsy!" Did you know that Oswald was a paid F.B.I. informant? Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYDaqto22NY&t=4991s

Brilliant satire from J.P. Sears

Who or what can intervene to stop the Fourth Branch of Government from operating unilaterally?

Sundance reminds us,
The Legislative Branch (SSCI) created the Intelligence State, the Fourth Branch of superseding government. The Executive Branch (FBI, DOJ, NSA) control the Fourth Branch of superseding government. The Judicial Branch (FISA Court) is the facilitating approval apparatus for the Fourth Branch.

From the comments section of the Conservative Treehouse, Charles Dodgson writes, I think what Sundance is saying here with the word “superseding”, is that the 4th branch is already operating unilaterally, and uses the other three branches to provide a superficial appearance that they are being governed. However, the 4th branch in fact actually appears to be controlling the other three branches as well.
The interesting question to me is, who is in fact controlling the fourth branch? What person or entities are really calling the shots? Is it just a Hydra of like minded people? Or is there a small shadowy group of evil overlords that pass the orders down? I kind of suspect the Hydra, but maybe not. The older I get, the more I realize that conspiracy theories are actual fact and maybe the most outlandish ones still underestimate reality.

Who is Mike Pence?

Emerald Robinson makes the following claims:
Mike Pence was the first person to set the Russia Hoax into motion.
Several members of VP Mike Pence’s office engaged in anti-Trump activities during normal business hours.
The big donors wanted a Mike Pence/Nikki Haley ticket in 2024. They don't really care what GOP voters want, and they never have. These are the people who pushed Jeb in 2016. And Paul Ryan before that. And Dan Quayle before that.
Pence is a creature of the GOP donors, not an America First patriot. That much is obvious now. Pence was added to the Trump ticket to restrain Trump's populism — and that’s what he tried to do for four years. When pro-Trump aides were sidelined in the Trump White House, I heard the same thing from all of them: they were told to sit down and shut up and, if they were quiet, they might get to work for Pence and Haley in 2024.
It’s time for Republican voters to admit that they had no idea who Mike Pence was. Don’t be too upset with yourself. He fooled plenty of people. The man you thought he was — that guy doesn’t really exist. It’s time you paid much closer attention to your favorite politicians though— if you want your country to survive.

Two Big Tech platforms that are not (yet) caving to the outrage mobs

Brad Polumbo writes,
Big Tech platforms have taken lots of heat in recent years, often deservedly so, for at times caving to outrage mobs and censoring conservative views. So, it’s only fair to give credit to two tech platforms that are currently resisting calls for censorship and defending free expression: Spotify and Substack.
This pro-free-expression message is so refreshing to hear from tech platforms, having become accustomed to companies like Twitter and YouTube engaging in countless, blatant acts of political censorship.

Facebook (Meta) okays soliciting human smugglers!

Joseph Simonson writes,
Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, privately announced on Monday that users can use its platforms to solicit human smugglers, a decision that goes against demands by anti-human trafficking groups that urged the tech giant to crack down on the practice.
Migrants who enlist the assistance of human traffickers to come across the southern border are often subjected to sexual assault or other forms of violence. A May 2017 report from Doctors Without Borders found 31.4 percent of female migrants who traveled through Mexico into the United States had been sexually abused.
"Migrants and refugees are preyed upon by criminal organizations, sometimes with the tacit approval or complicity of national authorities, and subjected to violence and other abuses—abduction, theft, extortion, torture, and rape—that can leave them injured and traumatized," the report reads.

Hunter Biden's corrupt criminal activity

The Daily Mail has authenticated that the “103,000 text messages, 154,000 emails, more than 2,000 photos and dozens of videos” belong to the president’s son. The laptop is “brimming with evidence of apparent criminal activity by Hunter and his associates including drug trafficking and prostitution,” the Daily Mail reports.

"We simply cannot afford another banal dose of ego and rah-rah talking points!"

Steve Deace reviews a book by Dr. Scott Atlas entitled, "My Fight at the Trump White House to Stop COVID from Destroying America."
Keep in mind, Atlas served in the White House for only about three months, and it was toward the end of the administration. No one had the testicular fortitude to fire anybody whose COVID failures clearly deserved it — starting with Trump.
Which means someone credible needs to run against Trump for the nomination in 2024, just so we can test him, if nothing else. He needs to be asked plainly and clearly what lessons he learned, what vetting process he now has for hiring, etc. Because we simply cannot afford another banal dose of ego and rah-rah talking points. Trump needs to substantively show he can lead, especially because he can serve only one term if he wins again. So why not truly go for broke this time?

"Lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument!"

Sundance reports,
Johns Hopkins Study Shows Government Cure for COVID was Worse Than Disease, Lockdown Benefit Provided No Mitigation of Death from Virus
An interesting study from John’s Hopkins University [DATA HERE] shows the 2021 government lockdown did virtually nothing to stem death from the pandemic, but likely created more adverse “social ills” and long-term negative health outcomes.
The lockdowns during the early phase of the pandemic in 2020 reduced COVID-19 mortality by about 0.2%, said the broad review of multiple scientific studies.
“We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality,” the researchers wrote. But the research paper said lockdowns did have “devastating effects” on the economy and contributed to numerous social ills.
“They have contributed to reducing economic activity, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy,” the report said.
“Such a standard benefit-cost calculation leads to a strong conclusion: lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument,” the paper concluded.
