Panic at the Top

Original Article

Posted By: Beardo, 8/14/2022 7:12:14 AM

If the absurd raid on Mar-a-Largo has not persuaded you yet that the Deep State and their cohorts are terrified of their loss of political and cultural dominance, I urge you to read this thoughtful piece by former CIA analyst Martin Gurri. He traces how with the panic over the Wuhan virus, the elites managed a level of control over both the population and the information about the disease and how to treat it.

Americans have been like cows at the slaughter house. It is essential that the herd stop following, and start thinking for themselves. Our entire medical community cannot be trusted. Our government cannot be trusted. Our media cannot be trusted.

The article correctly points out that leftists (not the commonly-use "liberals") are anything but tolerant and inclusive. Words with which they used to identify™.

The panic is palpable but if these people are not stopped, their desperation will only bring more blatant overreach and dictatorial actions. They must be kicked out with a physical boot to the backside because they won't simply go away.

It is quite obvious that the Washington establishment is scared to death of Donald J. Trump and is doing everything possible to preclude him from regaining the Presidency. For 7 years the establishment has done everything possible to discredit Trump, this started when he first announced his candidacy. Their efforts so far have been largely unsuccessful. Career Politicians in both parties in the Washington District of Corruption fear losing their positions of power and access to the graft, insider trading, influence peddling and "campaign donations" that are used to enrich themselves their friends and families. The Biden crime family the most obvious, along with Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi and many, others in both parties. The fact that he is universally hated by corrupt career politicians is reason enough to support him.

#2 says "And the makers are indemnified from lawsuit!" Only if no fraud is involved and evidence would suggest this is not the case. However, given the dire condition of our political and legal systems, the probability of the pursuit of fraud charges may be remote.

A must read and I noticed the word "trump" didn't appear once. Much unlike the MSM where the word is obligatory in all articles and commentary as he has taken up permanent residence in their heads.

American universities can only "brainwash" ill-prepared, uncritical and non-thinking students churned out mostly by public high schools. These bubblewrapped waifs have been conditioned to grades like dogs to treats, and are mainly focused on getting a diploma from the mill to get a "good paying" job, maybe as a barista or waitress after discovering the big money deals are reserved for the children of elites and successful athletes. Conservatives conserve. They stand athwart the flow of pop culture and shout STOP!, generally to be ignored. Even when they "win" conservatives lose because the progressive program advances some anyways. Enough "wins" create a social sea change over time. Conservatives have no vision. They resist; do not advance. At best they turn back the clock temporarily. Take abortion...SCOTUS turned it back to state jurisdiction...and states have largely recognized the legitimacy of abortion under certain circumstances. Those who haven't will find themselves in the courts defending laws constructed around slogans, like "Moment of Conception", with legally insufficient definition. These lawsuits are coming. And then we're back to the courts deciding. One cannot win with nothing. Conservatives try. Progressives always have something to offer their latest coalition of the aggrieved and compassionate.

This is the part that should be repeated over and over in the upcoming elections: Thus, for example, Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter who consistently questioned the disease-control mandates, was blocked from Twitter, and brought suit in the course of which Twitter was forced to concede that White House officials played a role in censoring him. He’s now back on, conveniently just as the CDC has flipped and ended its idiotic recommendations. The WH officials played a role in censoring him. Likely something many felt was happening, but now officially confirmed. Begs the question, what else have they played a role in to influence "private" companies?

The next phase of global control of the populace will be starvation. When people are hungry they could care less about the Bill of Rights, they are first in line for government handouts. Sri Lanka learned the lesson. The Netherlands is fighting government dictates on farming. Buy extra food stuffs that store for long periods of time. Dont be left short when the SHTF and everyone is hungry and after your stuff.

". . . Ron DeSantis dubs “The Stop Woke Act,”" I wish he had called it "The Awake Act". No only is this more grammatically correct ("awake" being an adjective, while "woke" is the past tense of a verb), "awake" implies an ongoing state of not being sleep and figuratively, more aware, while "woke" sounds like "you just woke up." You know, that bleary, eyes still half-shut, needing a cup of coffee feeling, before you can make any rational thought. To me, the opposite of "woke" is not "not woke"; it is "awake."

Three passports, Privileged documents. A file on a presidential pardon. As evidence surfaces about what FBI agents seized during the raid of former President Donald Trump's estate in Mar-O-Lago, new questions about the real focus of the investigation and new avenues for legal challenges are bubbling to the surface. The Justice Department informed Trump's team Monday that agents gathered the former president's passports and are obligated to return them, and that officials are also reviewing seized materials that may be covered by various privileges, multiple sources told Just the News.

The effort to recall Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon has failed to gain enough support for ballot qualification. A total of only 520,050 of the 715,833 signatures collected in the recall effort were valid, the registrar-recorder's office in Los Angeles County announced. The recall effort needed 566,857 signatures to qualify. A breakdown of the signatures deemed invalid found 88,464 signatures belonged to people who were not registered, 43,595 were duplicated, 32,187 were from different addresses, 9,490 had mismatched signatures, 7,344 were canceled, 5,374 were from out-of-county addresses, and 9,331 were deemed invalid for other reasons, according to the office.

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday held a belated press conference to explain that he had personally approved the FBI’s raid of Donald Trump’s Florida residence to seize documents deemed U.S. government property. A clearly agitated and nervous Garland sought to exude confidence in the raid. He went on to heatedly defend the professionalism and integrity of the Justice Department and FBI. But almost immediately after his sermon, the Justice Department and its affiliates were back to their usual selective leaking (“sources say” . . . “according to people familiar with the investigation”) to liberal newspapers.

France is in the midst of its fourth heat wave as authorities claim that it is the worst drought in modern history, the Associated Press reported last week. Authorities are beginning to issue water rationing, and farmers are already reporting drops in the production of soy, sunflower, and corn, the AP added. Unfortunately, the heat wave is also bringing wildfires that have become difficult to deal with. Wildfires in northern Spain and France, for instance, caused the evacuation of thousands of residents.
