Viva La France! Will the French people save Americans from a fascist tyrannical oligarchic government again?

 

A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends. ~ “The Danger of American Fascism,” Henry Wallace (1944)

 Once again the American people find themselves being enslaved by a fascist government that was not selected by the governed.  Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that governments derive powers from the “consent of the governed.” Our government now derives its power from the consent of the oligarchs, an unelected class of Fascists.  

Trump being a populist spoke directly to the people and had used his power as president to improve the lives of the American people and was well on his was to re-election and therefore extreme means were needed to ensure his removal.  This could not be left up to the American people therefore the 2020 election was a fraud and Joe Biden said so.


The American people are living under tyrannical conditions with their constitutional rights being carpet bombed on a daily basis since the same fascist cabal overturned the people’s vote in the year 2000 and installed George W. Bush as president.  It’s back to the future, we now find ourselves in the same predicament that led us to the Revolutionary War.  A war we could not have won were it not for the French.  From Mentalfloss:

Excerpt:

There Would Be No United States Without France

When French diplomats signed the Treaty of Alliance in 1778, they in essence vouched for an experiment called the United States of America. At a cost of blood and money, the French made it their business to see it through, from a set of colonies to a free and independent nation.

The centuries to follow have been sometimes (superficially) contentious, but it’s hard to see the relationship as anything but one of familial love. But to find out how this close-knit family came together, one has to look back to France’s involvement in the American Revolution.

SPIRITUAL FOREBEARS

Even in the 1770s, Paris was a very old city (to illustrate that point, the Notre-Dame Cathedral was over 600 years old at the time). If you were a would-be revolutionary looking to start a nation from scratch, France was the model, and Paris wasn’t just a city—it was capital of a civilization built to last.

The founding fathers of the United States were heavily influenced by the French Enlightenment. When Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that governments derive powers from the “consent of the governed,” he was drawing from Rousseau’s The Social Contract (originally known as On the Social Contract).

Montesquieu deeply influenced James Madison, author of the Constitution, and is one reason we have a separation of powers among three branches of government. Voltaire’s writings on censorship, meanwhile, helped enshrine the freedom of the press.

MAKING IT HAPPEN

Plainly stated, if France hadn’t supported the United States during the American Revolution, there wouldn’t be a United States today. George Washington was a great general, but the Continental Army simply didn’t have the money, men, training, or seafaring vessels necessary to defeat the British.

At the war’s outset, France secretly provided to the Americans trained officers, money, ammunition, and gunpowder. This contributed directly to the staggering victory of the Continentals over the British at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. Upon news of the British defeat, Louis XVI of France decided to go all-in. France signed the aforementioned Treaty of Alliance and the Treaty of Amity and Commerce, and started sending serious firepower to the colonies. War with Britain was on…

France’s initial, primary contribution to the war took place on the seas with their naval forces. Not every effort was successful. The Battle of Rhode Island proved an inauspicious opening operation for the new allies, and the Second Battle of Savannah wasn’t much better…

The French joined the fight in full on American soil in 1780, at which point their highly disciplined army under the command of Lieutenant General Comte de Rochambeau set as their goal the total defeat of the British.

The two decisive battles of the American Revolution were the Battle of the Chesapeake and the Battle of Yorktown. The first was a strategic naval victory by the French navy over the British. Comte de Grasse and Comte de Bougainville, the French admirals who led fleets of warships, effectively prevented the British navy from reinforcing forces at Yorktown.

Meanwhile, Yorktown saw armies under the command of Washington, Rochambeau, and French Major General Marquis de Lafayette decisively overpower British forces. The surrender of Lord Cornwallis effectively marked the end of the war, with the major powers opening peace talks.

French blood helped secure American independence. In a very real way, the road toward America becoming a world superpower passed through the streets of Paris.

How very true that is.  But the Fascist cabal that overthrew the American government on December 12, 2000 cared nothing about history, they despised the American constitution because it put restraints on the ambitions for launching a New World Order.  George W. Bush called the constitution a “God damned piece of paper” and with a corrupt media set out to launch unending wars for regime change and Empire. 

When Bush and Blair began their propaganda campaign to go to war with Iraq it was the French who saw through the bull shit and refused to participate in what they knew would be a fiasco so Bush et al started a smear campaign against the French people.  From Irish Times:

Excerpt:

French lampooned as 'cheese-eating surrender monkeys' 

AMERICA/Conor O'Clery: When Colin Powell leafed through his newspapers on Thursday morning he would have got particular pleasure from the headline on Mary McGrory's column in the Washington Post. It read: "I'm persuaded". It takes a lot to persuade McGrory, whose liberal commentaries date back to the Kennedy era, that war might be the only way.

One of her recent articles sympathetically hailed peace marchers in the capital as a "pre-emptive demonstration against the pre-emptive war". She thought George Bush was picking a fight for the wrong reasons - big oil, the far right - against the wrong enemy. Nobody she knew in her circle in Washington was for this war. Wednesday changed that.

The conversion of such a prominent doubter to the war camp is a testament to Powell's strong performance at the UN on Wednesday in laying out the case against Iraq, but even more so to his perceived integrity.

The US Secretary of State is no Robert McNamara, who, as Jimmy Breslin of Newsday (definitely not persuaded) reminded us in his column, reported false information to President Lyndon Johnson about a North Vietnamese attack on American destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin, which was then used to justify bombing North Vietnam. Nor is Powell a Henry Kissinger, Nixon's slippery accomplice in the conspiracy to secretly bomb Cambodia…

He is easily the nation's most trusted politician (sic). A Gallup poll on the eve of Powell's speech to the UN showed that Americans by a wide margin - 63 per cent to 24 per cent - choose Powell over Bush as the leader they trust more on Iraq. The "democratic imperialists" in the Bush administration like Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle make a lot of Americans uneasy. Powell is different. Or was…

Conservative columnists who have been behind Bush all along were exhilarated by Powell's domestic triumph. Andrew Sullivan of the New Republic called for "Three cheers for Mary McGrory, she goes where others aren't so honest to tread." Many poured scorn on the United Nations. The UN "is on the verge of demonstrating finally and fatally its moral bankruptcy and its strategic irrelevance," wrote Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post.

The UN "is being used as a shield to protect a lawless nation", declared Tony Blankley of the Washington Times. But the real bile was reserved for the French, the "Cheese-eating surrender monkeys" as the National Review Online called them in a phrase picked up from the Simpsons and gleefully reproduced in several publications.

Andrew Sullivan published a spoof e-mail about Jacques Chirac sending his elite L'Abandonnement du Field d'Honneur Battalion to help the Iraqis. Sullivan said that condescension for the French had "turned into contempt"; Blakeley called the French "contemptuous"; Dick Morris in the New York Post said France was "pro-Saddam"; George Will described French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin as "oleaginous" (unctuous and oily) and Fox TV host Cal Thomas said Powell made so strong a case that "only the duped, the dumb and the desperate" like de Villepin could ignore it.

They were all outdone in French-bashing by Christopher Hitchens of Vanity Fair, who was given the run of the op-ed page of the Wall Street Journal on Thursday to categorise Chirac as "a positive monster of conceit . . . a vain and posturing and venal man . . . the rat that tried to roar."

Ingratitude from a Vichy France that had to be rescued from Nazism was a common theme in letters from readers, one of whom in the Wall Street Journal, wrote simply, "God Bless France! She's always there when she needs us."

Security Council members are faced with the prospect that if they obstruct the drive for UN approval for war, they will suffer the wrath of the only super-power - and definitely its conservative columnists. France has already failed the loyalty test. If it uses its veto, France will get the blame for hollowing out the Security Council, rather than the US, which is going to war, no matter what.

Vice President Henry Wallace’s essay on American Fascists is a spot on description of the establishment Democrats and Republicans today.  Both parties have a lust for power and money unparalleled in recent history.  These Fascists have merged the power of state with private interests so that every lever of power is infiltrated with private interests who have raided the treasury and enslaved the American people.  Covid-19 was created in a lab long ago and big Pharma had their biochemical weaponized “vaccines” ready to go before the virus was released. From James Howard Kunstler:

Excerpt:

Big Fail

Is it still lying if you’re senile? Ethics experts and other viziers of morality might puzzle that out now that something-like-truth is emerging about Covid-19 and the vaccines that have set-up about 150-million Americans — and many more folks in other countries — for a premature exit from this world by way of thrombotic organ failure

Hence: did the blunt tip of the “Joe Biden” regime’s spear, Ol’ White “Joe Biden” himself, actually lie Wednesday when he told American’s (and the world) that the Covid-19 vaccines are safe? And to “stay calm and get vaccinated?”

The “Town Hall” format featuring “JB” was like one of those old carnival tent shows where a microcephalic is brought onstage to perform awesome intellectual feats, like counting from one to ten (skipping the number seven) to the delectation of the assembled bumpkins with normally-sized but perhaps lopsided heads. “Joe” dazzled the Ohio crowd with a series of impromptu utterances that were not just word-salad but a whole cold buffet of fugitive thoughts. For instance:

And we must be the leader of the free world. If we don’t do it, nobody good is likely to do it or has the capacity to do it. I really mean it. I genuinely mean it. So, it’s the thing, Don, that is the only time — and by the way, the first time I walked down stairs and they played “Hail to the Chief,” I wondered, “Where is he?”

This does kind of raise the question: how are the other nations of the world going to feel about us when they discover that vaccines developed by American companies under US Government grants have gifted scores of millions of their citizens with thrombotic organ failure? Brace for impact. Oh, and by the way, since our military personnel were first-in-line for the vaxes, how does that bode for our preparedness in the event of some severe geopolitical unpleasantness?

On the other hand, Dr. Tony Fauci (a.k.a. “The Science”) did not appear to be senile in his Senate testimony this week, just desperate, since the full story of how his long and rather secretive campaign to heroically develop the vaccine-to-end-all-vaccines — which seems to have come to grief in this Covid-19 catastrophe — is just busting to come out.

And the story, as I understand it, is that for over twenty years Dr. Fauci has been pumping gazillions of taxpayer dollars into the creation of bio-weapon-grade coronavirus research, and vaccines against them, while registering patents on all that stuff.

Also, that there was nothing “novel” about the “novel” coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19). Rather Dr. Fauci and his colleagues, such as Peter Daszak of the EcoHealth Alliance, and Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina, had been swapping these coronavirus iterations from one lab to another for years — including the Wuhan, China, Lab — seeking to provide a rational for vaccines that they expected to profit from, if only the government (or many governments) could be induced to deploy them.

In the fall of 2019, around the time Covid-19 came on the scene, they were all set to go. Moderna was already at the head of the development line, patents in place, with its computer simulation vaccine featuring the S1 spike protein as its active agent, with Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson taking up the rear.

Exactly where and how the virus got loose remains a mystery, though the Wuhan lab release (accidental or otherwise) is one hypothetical story with legs. A less-known one, because the Pentagon’s DARPA was involved in the same virus research, has to do with a US Army delegation sent to China for some sort of ceremonial exercise in the fall of 2019 with, perhaps, infected soldiers, intended to light up that country with yet another in a long-line of animal-to-human viruses… thus priming the heroic debut of Dr. Fauci’s sponsored world-saving vaxes.

Poor Mr. Trump was hustled into the “Warp Speed” cover story for these shenanigans — which perhaps explains why he never looked entirely comfortable onstage with Dr. Fauci and the rest of the White House “team.”

Meanwhile news about the efficacy of the vaccines, and especially any adverse reactions to the vaccines, has been very carefully managed by the government, the captive news media, and the — let’s just say it — the evil social media including Facebook, Twitter, and Google’s YouTube.  How much are they squelching the actual numbers of deaths directly related to the vaccines? A savvy correspondent with a medical license writes:

…the rate of reporting [adverse reactions] to the VAERS system in the US and Europe is very poor: somewhere between 1 and ten percent of actual events being reported.  This obviously means that the actual death rate is likely much higher. So, I would not be surprised if the real number of ‘vax’ induced deaths in the US is in the range of 100,000 or more, much more.

This is very reasonable when you take into account the shockingly frequent effects involving myocardial inflammation and blood clotting. Both of these pathologic processes logically stem from inflammation stimulated by massive production of the S1 spike protein by the injected mRNA. The S1 spike protein, as you know, is the inflammation-inducing toxin in Covid infections.

There was a major fuck-up by focusing on stimulating the production of S1; they, the PTB researchers, thought that the S1 protein was just a marker for SARs-COV, not the pathogenic toxin. In my opinion, most of the deaths from the mRNA ‘vax’ are going to take much longer via long-term inflammatory damage to the vascular system (including heart tissue, brain blood vessels, etc.). Of course, they will deny that such deaths are related to the ‘vax’ given the time distance from the injection.  Too many people, making too much money from the mRNA shot….”

This is where things stand at the apogee of summer. Every day we are learning more about the spike protein time-bombs the vaxed population is walking around with in their veins. And now its coming clear why science has been made such a fetish of lately: because science has failed spectacularly, which is an even greater tragedy because when this stupendous calamity is over, what’s left of the civilized world will, by default, turn to superstition as its logical replacement.


The American people are turning on each other as they are instructed by the Biden Administration to turn in to authorities anyone they suspect of spreading “misinformation” about their Covid hoax.  The media is doing their part to spread division amongst the people.  The American people are the real surrender monkeys.  The eagerly eat up propaganda like a freshly picked banana.  Americans could learn a lot from the brave French.  From Anti-Empire:

Excerpt:

France Rises Up Against the New Fascism

"Even the jab itself is not really the issue any more, with those who have already had it joining in the protests"

“The people have woken up – at last!” declared local Gilet Jaune rebel Michelle as she watched the vast crowds assembling on the main square of Montpellier in southern France.  She has been involved with the Yellow Vest movement since the very start of the popular revolt against the Macron regime in November 2018.

Two years ago, in April 2019, another Gilet Jaune told me on the same spot, the Place de la Comédie, that France was witnessing “a turning point in history”.  Despite the vast levels of militarised repression used against the Yellow Vests, not to speak of the relentless propaganda in the mass media, the movement never abandoned the struggle.

Only the “emergency” of the Covid crisis pushed it, more or less, off the streets.   The spirit of revolt has not been very much in evidence in France since March 2020, with the population divided and fearful, as elsewhere.  But now, with the announcement that vaccine passports will be required for cafés, restaurants, leisure centres, shopping malls and trains, something seems to have snapped.

The arguments about viruses and masks and lockdowns now seem less relevant in the face of this chilling assault on the most fundamental of human rights.  Even the jab itself is not really the issue any more, with those who have already had it joining in the protests against the totalitarian laws due to come into place on August 1.

I was impressed by the turn-out for the emergency protest in Montpellier on Wednesday July 14, but Saturday’s numbers were on a completely different scale. Even the authorities at the Préfecture admitted that there were 5,000 on the streets on a hot Mediterranean afternoon.

The crowd represented a very wide cross-section of the local population. The Gilets Jaunes had already started this process of breaking down the old “left” and “right” political divisions in favour of a broad popular struggle against the power elite.  But the process has now clearly gone a step further, with a new mood of defiant unity that must be striking fear into the hearts of Macron and his cronies, not to speak of Klaus Schwab and the global string-pullers.

The sense of possibility has been increased by the news that the French Minister of Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti is under criminal investigation for allleged “conflicts of interest”.  “We don’t want the pass sanitaire!” chanted the thousands in Montpellier. “Macron resign!” “Résistance!” “Liberté!”

It was the same picture everywhere, with massive numbers not just in Paris, but all across France, as this compilation sets out.  The people took to the streets in Aix-en-Provence, Quimper, Annecy, Lyons, Perpignan, Nice, Metz, Lille, Dijon, Caen, Toulouse, Reims, Saint-Brieuc, Pau, Strasbourg, Rouen, La Rochelle, Brest, Mulhouse, Bayonne, Narbonne, Saint-Étienne, Albi, Nîmes and La Réunion.

They protested in Toulon, Marseilles, Bordeaux, Nantes and Rennes. Tear gas was used on protesters at Besançon and demonstrators blocked a main road at Chambéry.  The politics of division seem to be failing as the French people come together to defend the principles of liberté, égalité and fraternité on which their republic is supposed to be founded.

I bumped into a couple of anarchist friends on the protest and also took a leaflet from a group called Arme Révolutionnaire Marxiste.  This condemns the “Apartheid sanitaire” being imposed by the state: “Treated like fearful cattle, ever more controlled, divided and stripped of our freedoms, we are condemned by power to still further exploitation.

“But this time the government’s medicine is not going down, there are more and more of us all the time who understand the reality of this medical mascarade, just as we understand better and better the scam of elections”.  Insisted Gilet Jaune Michelle: “This vaccine passport just can’t happen. We can’t give up”.

Viva la France!  As Americans cower in their masks giving up all of their constitutional rights and cheer on censorship of truth, I hope our French kindred know we stand with you.  I dedicate this song to you.

Joe Biden’s America, living in a utopian nightmare of grifters, gestapo gulags, kangaroo courts and weaponized spooks

 

The administration of the illegally installed pResident Grifter Joe Biden is working at warped speed to take away what civil rights the American people have left after 20 years of eroding them.  Biden’s Administration like those of the administrations of W. Bush and Obama have weaponized the courts, the spy agencies and the CIA Mockingbird Media using Gestapo-like tactics against ordinary Americans. 

The entire government in America is rotten to the core having been coopted by Fascist billionaires and corporations who install politicians to do their bidding.  These pols are not the best and the brightest, they are corrupt, ignorant lackeys only interested in enriching themselves. 

Former Congressman Dennis Kucinich has just released his Memoir, a scathing look at just how corrupt the American government is.  Christopher Hedges gives us a glimpse into the book.  From Mint Press:  

Excerpt:                                                                                                    

Hedges: Kucinich Memoir Is a Moving Account of a Battle Against Corporate Power

When the ‘boy mayor’ of Cleveland took a stand against privatization of public power, the region’s elites deployed every weapon in their arsenal against him, including attempted assassination.

“The Division of Light and Power,” by Dennis Kucinich, like Robert Caro’s “The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York,” is a gripping, moving and lucidly written account of the hidden mechanisms of corporate power in the United States and what happens when these corporate interests are challenged. It is essential reading, especially as we face an intensified corporate assault, done in the name of fiscal necessity following the financial wounds imposed by the pandemic, to seize total control of all public assets.

Kucinich warns that this assault is more than the seizure of public assets for private gain.  These corporate forces, which function as a shadow government in Washington and cities across the country, threaten to achieve a monolithic lock on all forms of power and extinguish our anemic democracy.

As Kucinich discovered throughout his career, these corporate forces will deploy every weapon in their arsenal against those brave or foolish enough to defy them. “The Division of Light and Power” is destined to become a classic text for those who seek to understand the corporate coup d’etat that took place in the United States in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

The new book by Dennis Kucinich recounts his battle with corporate elites to protect a public utility…

Kucinich, a diminutive 23-year-old, who was often mistaken for the paperboy when he campaigned door to door, had just been elected at the opening of the book to be the new Councilman from Ward Seven. Kucinich grew up in Ward Seven in extreme poverty. His family struggled to pay rent and utility bills. They endured evictions and at one point were forced to sleep in their car.

Ward Seven was, he recalls, where “I went to high school, where church spires and pipe-organ smokestacks reached to a smudged sky. A neighborhood populated by a steely league of nations who spoke Polish, Greek, Slovak, Ukrainian, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, and occasionally English…

Because he would not abandon his neighborhood, his people, he was on a collision course with the monied elites who ran the city.  The seasoned politicians in city hall assumed that Kucinich, like themselves, would sell out the voters for his own political and economic advancement. No one thought he was serious about defending those who elected him.

They welcomed him to the cynical club of our bought-and-paid-for political class and explained the inner workings of our system of legalized bribery. He was young. He was talented. He would go far, the political hacks assured him, if he did the bidding of the real centers of power.

“These pros knew that every one of the thirty-three Cleveland City Council seats were won with campaign contributions from banks who held city deposits, money from phone, gas, and electric interests, or downtown real estate developers who never lost an election because they always bet on both sides,” Kucinich writes.

One middle-aged Councilman, an attorney from a neighboring ward, let’s call him Richard, befriended me, confiding, “Dennis, there are a lot of legitimate ways you can make money in politics. Nothing dishonest, mind you. Opportunities come to people who hold office,” he said.

“Opportunities?”

“You know, you do favors for people. They do favors for you.”

“Favors?” I didn’t understand.

“Attorneys elected to Council get law business thrown their way. Insurance salesmen get policies. Travel agents book trips for people they help. Real estate guys get commissions from property deals called to their attention,” he shared. “It’s all legit...”

The rules were clear from the start. Serve the interests of big business and the city’s rich — by granting tax abatements, 99-year franchises, monopolies, and bond financing for big, often unnecessary multi-million dollar projects — and thrive. Defy those interests and face political oblivion.

“City Hall reeked of mendacity, of checking one’s spiritual beliefs at the door like a beat-up coat and entering into circumstances where unseen forces were dictating decisions, demanding consensus, and meting out punishment to those who denied the deal-making, was, after all, politics, the dominion of amorality, where personal advancement relied on pragmatism operating in shuttered light, without the imposition of conscience,” Kucinich writes.

Once it was clear the elites could not buy him off, they set out to destroy his political career, slander and intimidate him, and, after he was elected mayor in 1977, wreck the city’s finances and finally attempt to assassinate him.

The ruling elites play for keeps. And this is why a politician like Kucinich, with integrity and undaunted courage, is an anathema in the deeply corrupted world of American electoral politics where nearly all who flourish, in city, state and national politics, do so because they have a price.

The battle royale, which would see the business elites force the city into default to remove Kucinich from the mayor’s office, centered around the schemes by CEI (Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co.) to crush the public utility, Municipal Light, or Muny Light, founded in 1907 by then-Cleveland Mayor Tom L. Johnson.

CEI sought a monopoly so it could jack up rates for the city’s residents. CEI orchestrated blackouts by blocking Muny’s access to back-up power and exhausting the patience of Muny customers to force them into the hands of CEI. The fight to save Muny was, Kucinich knew, more than a fight to protect a public utility.

Johnson said when the founded the public utility, “I believe in public ownership of all public service monopolies for the same reason that I believe in the municipal ownership of waterworks, of parks, of schools. I believe in the municipal ownership of these monopolies because if you do not own them, they will in time own you. They will corrupt your politics, rule your institutions and finally destroy your liberties.”

But it was not only Kucinich the business elites targeted. They destroyed the careers of the handful of reporters who attempted to investigate and make public the dirty machinations of CEI and the ruling elites. Kucinich watched as one honest reporter after another was silenced by his or her employer, beholden to the money and power of advertisers.

Kucinich discovered that the press was not only docile, but complicit. He realized he would have few allies in the public arena. When the war against him began in earnest, the press dutifully amplified the lies spun out by the public relations departments of the corporations against Kucinich. The city was saturated with constant news and editorials touting the benefits of privatizing the private utility, although customers with Muny Light had one of the lowest electric rates in the country.

When Steve Clark, the top radio news commentator in Cleveland on WERE radio, for example, decried CEI’s spending over $7 million for promotions and advertising, or about $11 per customer, and announced that CEI had realized a net profit of $40 million, or more than sixteen cents for each dollar of operating revenue, at the same time it was demanding a 20 percent rate increase from the Ohio Public Utilities Commission, WHICH WOULD GENERATE AN ADDITIONAL $54 MILLION ANNUALLY for the company, his career was finished. The radio station received at least $70,000 a year from CEI in advertising. The owners did not intend to lose it. Clark was fired.

“News reporters covering the Council meeting were a sketch of supine immobility, a confession of the futility of expression without independence,” Kucinich writes. “If CEI worked to influence editors, the editors in turn would place limitations on their reporters. I could not expect any help from the ‘free press…’”

The Muny Light wars exposed the lengths corporate power and the mob bosses, who Kucinich also fought, will go to destroy anyone who threatens their unchecked pillaging…

(Nearly two decades later, after wandering the political wilderness — and the country — yet still supported strongly by the working class of Cleveland, Kucinich made an unexpected political comeback when he was elected to Congress in 1996. However, in 2010 the Democratic Party machine in Ohio drew up a redistricting plan which moved his Cleveland home address into the Toledo-based district of another incumbent, all but assuring his defeat in 2012…)

His enemies did not forgive him once they removed him from office. He and those who worked in his mayoral administration were blacklisted by the city’s elite, often unable to find work. Kucinich was meant to be an example to all who thought of defying the system…

 

Sounds like what happened to Donald Trump and anyone in his administration that wasn’t on the take.  Much like Kucinich, Trump and his supporters are called “domestic terrorists” and advocates in congress like Matt Gates are constantly under attack by the media making unsubstantiated charges against them.  From Zero Hedge:

Excerpt:

Why Trump Supporters Are Pissed Off And Don't Trust Anything

As the ruling class went to absurd lengths to try and dismantle Donald Trump, pissed off supporters watched in horror as a captured media peddled lie after lie - typically based on anonymous leaks from deep state bureaucrats, and as  powerful agents within America's intelligence apparatus falsified evidence and collaborated with foreign operatives paid by Trump's political opponents.

In doing so, they exposed themselves to anyone not already paying attention…

Here are the facts - actual, confirmed facts - that shape their perspective: 1) The FBI/etc spied on the 2016 Trump campaign using evidence manufactured by the Clinton campaign. We now know that all involved knew it was fake from Day 1 (see: Brennan's July 2016 memo, etc)… The intel community spying on a presidential campaign using fake evidence (incl forged documents) is a big deal to them.

Everyone involved lied about their involvement as long as they could. We only learned the DNC paid for the manufactured evidence because of a court order. Comey denied on TV knowing the DNC paid for it, when we have emails from a year earlier proving that he knew.

This was true with everyone, from CIA Dir Brennan & Adam Schiff - who were on TV saying they'd seen clear evidence of collusion w/Russia, while admitting under oath behind closed doors that they hadn't - all the way down the line. In the end we learned that it was ALL fake…

Trump supporters know the collusion case front and back. They went from worrying the collusion must be real, to suspecting it might be fake, to realizing it was a scam, then watched as every institution - agencies, the press, Congress, academia - gaslit them for another year.

Worse, collusion was used to scare people away from working in the administration. They knew their entire lives would be investigated. Many quit because they were being bankrupted by legal fees. The DoJ, press, & gov't destroyed lives and actively subverted an elected admin. 

This is where people whose political identity was largely defined by a naive belief in what they learned in Civics class began to see the outline of a Regime that crossed all institutional boundaries. Because it had stepped out of the shadows to unite against an interloper.

GOP propaganda still has many of them thinking in terms of partisan binaries, but A LOT of Trump supporters see that the Regime is not partisan. They all know that the same institutions would have taken opposite sides if it was a Tulsi Gabbard vs Jeb Bush election.  

It's hard to describe to people on the left (who are used to thinking of gov't as a conspiracy... Watergate, COINTELPRO, WMD, etc) how shocking & disillusioning this was for people who encourage their sons to enlist in the Army, and hate ppl who don't stand for the Anthem. They could have managed the shock if it only involved the government.

But the behavior of the corporate press is really what radicalized them. They hate journalists more than they hate any politician or gov't official, because they feel most betrayed by them. The idea that the press is driven by ratings/sensationalism became untenable. If that were true, they'd be all over the Epstein story. The corporate press is the propaganda arm of the Regime they now see in outline. Nothing anyone says will ever make them unsee that, period.

This is profoundly disorienting. Many of them don't know for certain whether ballots were faked in November 2020, but they know for absolute certain that the press, the FBI, etc would lie to them if there was. They have every reason to believe that, and it's probably true…


Then you get the Hunter laptop scandal. Big Tech ran a full-on censorship campaign against a major newspaper to protect a political candidate. Period. Everyone knows it, all of the Tech companies now admit it was a "mistake" - but, ya know, the election's over, so who cares?

Goes w/o saying, but: If the NY Times had Don Jr's laptop, full of pics of him smoking crack and engaging in group sex, lots of lurid family drama, emails describing direct corruption and backed up by the CEO of the company they were using, the NYT wouldn't have been banned…

Everyone knows that, just as Don Jr's laptop would've been the story of the century, if everything about the election dispute was the same, except the parties were reversed, suspicions about the outcome would've been Taken Very Seriously. See 2016 for proof.

Even the courts' refusal of the case gets nowhere w/them, because of how the opposition embraced mass political violence. They'll say, w/good reason: What judge will stick his neck out for Trump knowing he'll be destroyed in the media as a violent mob burns down his house?

It's a fact, according to Time Magazine, that mass riots were planned in cities across the country if Trump won. Sure, they were "protests", but they were planned by the same people as during the summer, and everyone knows what it would have meant. Judges have families, too.

Forget the ballot conspiracies. It's a fact that governors used COVID to unconstitutionally alter election procedures (the Constitution states that only legislatures can do so) to help Biden to make up for a massive enthusiasm gap by gaming the mail-in ballot system.

They knew it was unconstitutional, it's right there in plain English. But they knew the cases wouldn't see court until after the election. And what judge will toss millions of ballots because a governor broke the rules? The threat of mass riots wasn't implied, it was direct.

They were led down some rabbit holes, but they are absolutely right that their gov't is monopolized by a Regime that believes they are beneath representation, and will observe no limits to keep them getting it. Trump fans should be happy he lost; it might've kept him alive.

Speaking of the Biden Grifting Crime Family the financial crime spree continues from the White House.  Just like Kucinich found out, there’s lots of ways to financially benefit and launder money.  Take Obama, in October of 2008 when the entire financial systems was melting down, Obama received $300 million in campaign donations in the form of prepaid credit cards $200 dollars or less (just under the reporting limits) that he claimed were from small donors. 

Once installed in the White House he bailed out the crooked banks and let the people be thrown out of their homes.  Many are still homeless living in tent cities.  Obama left office with a $65 million dollar thank you (book deal). From Anti-Empire:

White House Devises Scheme to Sell Emperor’s Crackhead Son’s Paintings to Secret Buyers for $500K


Art is a big business. Worldwide sales of art and antiques reached an estimated $64.1 billion in 2019, according to the Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report. One of the more curious artists to begin selling their artwork is Hunter Biden. The son of President Joe Biden is selling his artwork for potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars presents a potential headache for the White House.

The Biden administration reportedly stepped in and helped broker a deal that would allow a purchaser of Hunter’s artwork to remain anonymous, which has concerned many over the possibility of bribery and money being exchanged for influence. One of the critics who slammed this alleged secret selling situation is Walter Shaub, former President Barack Obama’s onetime ethics chief.

Hunter’s art dealer is Georges Berges, who “plans to host a private viewing for Biden in Los Angeles this fall, followed by an exhibition in New York,” according to Artnet. “Prices range from $75,000 for works on paper to $500,000 for large-scale paintings.”

Shaub told Fox News that Hunter’s art deal is “the opposite of government ethics.” In effect, the Biden administration got the “art dealer to promise not to give us the means to monitor whether the buyers are getting preferential access to government” by keeping buyers anonymous, according to Shaub.

“Nobody ever said secrecy was the best disinfectant, but that’s what we have now. And White House officials getting involved in any way other than to request transparency amounts to effectively putting an official stamp of approval on the president’s son trading on his father’s public service,” Shaub said.

“Instead, the president should be begging his son not to go through with this sale, even if that means threatening to banish him from the family’s Thanksgiving table this fall and publicly condemning his actions.”

“The idea’s that even Hunter won’t know, but the WH has outsourced government ethics to a private art dealer,” Shaub wrote on Twitter. “We’re supposed to trust a merchant in an industry that’s fertile ground for money laundering, as well as unknown buyers who could tell Hunter or WH officials? No thanks. Is this amateur hour for government ethics?”

The former Office of Government Ethics director emphasized, “The WH has put its stamp of approval on the president’s son profiting off his father’s public service again.”

“Yeah, I know some folks aren’t going to like this thread because we’re not supposed to criticize the president who’s way better than the ethical disaster named Trump,” Shaub explained. “But, you know what? With democracy on the ropes, ethics has never been more important. And this ain’t it.”

Richard Painter, who was a top ethics official in the George W. Bush administration, told the Washington Post, “The whole thing is a really bad idea.” “The initial reaction a lot of people are going to have is that he’s capitalizing on being the son of a president and wants people to give him a lot of money,” Painter said. “I mean, those are awfully high prices.”

The Biden Administration was unconstitutionally installed by a corrupt cabal that is destroying our constitutional rights on a daily basis.  Can America survive this assault?  From Sibel Edmonds:

Sanctuary States For Our Constitution- It’s Now Or Never

As our founding fathers made crystal clear, supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies- foreign and domestic, is incumbent upon every American- Not only those who must take the oath of office or naturalized citizens who take the oath of citizenship.

What happens then when the domestic enemies of our Constitution take control of our Federal Government, begin attacking and eliminating our Constitutional Rights centrally, and then begin to overtly expand this erosion throughout the nation?

Enter the Tenth Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

This crucial safeguard has been disregarded and discarded by a few states, and about to be eliminated in others. The Final and Mission Accomplished benchmark for the Enemies of our Constitution is when every state shares this status.

Unfortunately, we are nearing this benchmark-speedily. Our enemies’ synthetic terrorism pretext took away some of our most valuable rights and freedom. Their pandemic pretext has been taking away other crucial rights- including our basic human rights. Their already designed and forecast pretext, Mass-Shooting Epidemic, is being plugged in right now. And other pretexts, such as the Imminent Global Warming Catastrophe, are preplanned and scripted- ready to go per their schedule.

With all these realities on the ground, here are my questions: Are we going to sit back and wait for the inevitable end- The end of what makes the USA the USA: Our Constitution? Have we ceased believing in Constitutionalism defining the core of Americanism? What is our interpretation of defending the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies- foreign and domestic?

While our majority has been consistent in wearing their apathy without any shame, and justifying inaction as being safe, there are millions of us- alarmed and restless Americans, who wear our nationalism the right way- by being avid and uncompromising Constitutionalists.

Sadly, some of this needed restlessness and resistance is being coopted and rechanneled into futile action: Hope and energy poured into some coming elections (as if no lesson learned or registered after the last round!), resources and faith placed on courts (as if any good has come out of the Kangaroo Courts in the past two decades- be it on Unconstitutional Police State practices such as warrantless surveillance or forced muzzling and caging!). All tried- many times. All failed-every time.

Then why not try a different and more feasible tact?

Our Tenth Amendment, almost never-utilized, is still there. Isn’t it time to put it to use in practice- as it was, and is, intended? Guarding our Constitutional rights falls upon us, but also on our state governments- and together can be formed into sanctuaries for our Constitution- to uphold and defend it.

Join me then. Let’s unite and organize. Let’s make our states “Sanctuaries for the Constitution”. It is our most feasible and doable action plan. It is Constitutional- and for our Constitution. Together- We Can, and United-We Certainly Will Win.



I certainly hope Sibel Edmonds is correct and we can prevail, however for now we are living in Joe Biden’s America, a utopian nightmare of grifters, gestapo gulags, kangaroo courts and weaponized spooks.
