It’s About to Get Very Real

On January 20, a tectonic shift will rock America. Sound dramatic? It is.

Already, America’s partners and adversaries are getting ready for the big change.

Iranian-backed militias in Iraq are already talking about calling off their attacks on Israel. And the Iraqi government, which US taxpayers continue to subsidize, is finally acknowledging that it might be able to help free a Princeton University researcher, Elizabeth Tsurkov, who was kidnapped in 2023 by a government-funded terrorist group.

How many more surprises have the Biden-Harris White House hidden from the American people? My guess is, it will take months for Trump’s incoming cabinet secretaries and agency chiefs to dig them out from among the weeds.

To their credit, Republican senators reminded Americans during confirmation hearings of the hundreds of information requests they have made to Biden appointees that have remained unanswered. When the answers finally come, count on the left-wing media to dismiss them as old news. 300,000 unaccompanied alien children sold into sex-trafficing rings? Oh, we’ve known about that for years, nothing to see here.

Iranian president Masood Peseshkian traveled to Moscow on Friday to ink a “comprehensive strategic partnership treaty” with Russian president Putin. The deal will dramatically expand trade between the two countries, and calls for Russian investment to complete transit corridors from Russia, through Azerbaijan and Iran, to the Persian Gulf.

For Vladimir Putin and for his Slavophile supporters, the deal is nothing less than the completion of the imperial dreams of Peter the Great, Russia’s centuries-old ambition to reach the Warm Seas.

Thank-you, Joe Biden. You have made Russia great again.

The Russia-Iran deal will include new pipelines to ship Russian natural gas through Iran to foreign export markets, primarily China.

So let’s call this deal what it is: a sanctions-busting agreement.

Both the Russians and the Iranians know that President Trump means business about re-imposing the Maximum Pressure sanctions on Iran, which dramatically reduced Iran’s oil exports during Trump 1.

Trump is talking about enforcing real sanctions on Russian oil and gas exports, as well. The smarmy Europeans, sanctimonious as ever, will scream bloody murder and American imperialism, and then negotiate back-door deals with Moscow and Tehran to keep the lights on.

Indeed, the euros launched negotiations with the Iranians on January 11, ostensibly to impose limits on Iran’s nuclear weapons development but in fact aimed at securing Iranian oil and gas supplies despite US sanctions.

I have long warned about the “negotiation trap” with Iran. Years ago, when I was still a guest lecturer at the Pentagon’s Joint Counterintelligence Training Academy (JCITA) in Quantico, I told our intelligence officers that the Iranians were playing the Obama administration like an Appalachian fiddle, in what came to be known as the Iran Nuclear deal — or as President Trump put it, the “worst deal” ever negotiated by the US.

I got fired for my candor in 2016, but hey – it’s not the first time. You can read all about it in my latest book, The Iran House: Tales of Persecution, Revolution, War, and Intrigue.

So why do the Iranians want to negotiate now? Simple. Because the Israelis took out their air defenses, knocked out their biggest long-range missile plant, and kicked them out of Syria. In other words, because they are weak. Oh, and because Trump is back in the White House.

I have proposed an alternative strategy to the incoming administration, that would leverage the weakness of the Iranian mullahs by strengthening the hand of the pro-freedom movement inside Iran. You can read more about it in this short oped:  https://thehill.com/opinion/international/5019784-trump-iran-regime/

This week, the American Mideast Coalition for Democracy, a group of MAGA patriots originally from Iran, Lebanon, and elsewhere in the region, endorsed me to become President Trump’s Special Envoy to the People of Iran. The idea is to couple Maximum pressure on the Iranian regime with Maximum support for the Iranian people.

The new Special Envoy “would coordinate U.S. government outreach to the opposition and promote their activities at home and abroad,” AMCD wrote in their endorsement press release.

If you thought the mullahs were worried when they toured the ruins of their missile and nuclear facilities after Israel’s latest air strikes, just wait to see their faces after I convene the first US government-backed conference on the future of Iran.

I discuss this, as well as Trump’s pre-inauguration phone call with Chinese President Xi, and Trump’s global strategy to make America powerful again, on this week’s Prophecy Today Weekend. As always, you can listen live at 1 PM on Saturday on 104.9 FM or 550 AM in the Jacksonville area, or by using the Jacksonville Way Radio app. Later on, you can listen to the podcast here.

Yours in freedom.

The Crisis in California is more than Fire! thumbnail

The Crisis in California is more than Fire!

/in , , , , , /by

By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D.

Mere words are far too inadequate to express sympathy for all in the greater LA area who were adversely impacted by the fires; the loss of homes, family air looms and deeply held personal items of memories, businesses of all sizes and makes, and especially loss of life. Mere words truly are inadequate expressing sorrow but many, many across America are sincerely concerned with shared feelings of sadness compounded by anger and disbelief toward California elected officials who have shown such egregious nonchalant attitudes and feigned concern. The lack of a properly coordinated, prepared and aggressive response by First Responders only adds to the multitude of emotions running rampant as did the flames. First Responders from multiple agencies and designs are just as sorrowful and angry but their training does not permit them to express such except through higher command. First Responders from multiple agencies and design will also have to deal with PTSD of various levels given the mammoth undertaking they were forced into, but with little to no positive outcomes. The entire experience that unfolded shall have a seriously adverse and hurtful impact for years to come on fire fighters, police and most especially those citizens who have gone through personal loss.

Former LA Sheriff Alex Villanueva, former LA County Attorney Steve Cooley, and retired Commander John Satterfield of the LA County Sheriff’s Department spoke, for what I believe are many First Responders stating clearly that elected leaders’ incompetence was truly compounded by their devotion to leftist narratives. Former Sheriff Villanueva stated clearly, “the degree of mismanagement is epic. Its incompetence married with poisonous ideology.” Revealed during these fires was that fire department leadership, along with elected officials, were far more focused on DEI, not on preparing and fighting fires. Left wing agendas and ideology have been far more important than making certain fire trucks were sufficient and operational, equipment and all matters associated with fighting fires were reviewed and prepared.

Governor Newsome and his network of leftist ideologues across California have turned this once magnificent state into a hell hole. Leftist ideology is almost hysterical, definitely primary in recruiting at all levels and with politicians seeking office. The cartoon I placed at the top of my commentary sadly speaks to what the Marxist ideology in California, and, indeed, in many cities across America has created. The adherents to the destructive heinous liberal, socialist ideology fully adopted by many California elected leaders and their appointees, are a contributing factor to the fire catastrophe. It is no wonder such socialist acolytes are fearful of Trump coming into the White House and bringing old-fashion America loving individuals with him to clear out a federal government which echos the California government.

A leaked confidential memo shared among selected LA officials shows in writing that far leftist, DEI acolyte LA Mayor Karen Bass demanded a $48.8 million from the fire budget on top of $17.6 million already approved for the 2024/2025 budget year. But this did not stop this incompetent radical DEI promoter from taking funds from the fire department and allocating $170,000 for “Social Justice Art” and $100,000 for “transgender cafes and let me not leave out major funding from fire budgets to fund homeless programs. I pray the citizens of California wake up and shout, “ENOUGH!” Enough of Newsome and his cronies up and down the state, and enough of LA Mayor and her cronies.

Again…I am so very sorry for the loss of life and my sincere sympathy for all who have loss homes and deeply held personal items of memories.

The Difference Between Being “Smart” and Being Idiosyncratic thumbnail

The Difference Between Being “Smart” and Being Idiosyncratic

/in , , , , , , /by

By Long Run News

How many times have you heard statements like, “This person has a master’s from Stanford,” or “They hold a PhD in economics from Harvard”? Such remarks carry an implied message: we should trust and listen to these individuals based solely on their prestigious credentials. Consider a more familiar scenario from your experience in school—someone was labeled “smart” because of their GPA or accolades. Yet there’s a critical distinction between being conventionally “smart” and being idiosyncratic—a person who thinks or acts in a uniquely individualistic way.

Today, we can no longer afford to blindly trust credentials or institutions. The elite, often products of these prestigious universities, have championed ideologies like neoliberalism and globalization, enriching a select few while sidelining the average American worker. To challenge this, we must scrutinize the frameworks of our educational system, questioning its emphasis on conformity over creativity and its prioritization of standardized intelligence over authentic originality.

To understand our elites, we must first understand how they are educated. The theoretical purpose of education is to teach knowledge that shortens the learning curve for capable individuals, enabling them to focus more time on mastering their profession. Consider mechanic school as an example. Fixing cars is a craft, and at mechanic school, students are taught techniques and shortcuts that significantly enhance their efficiency and skill.

In theory, you could learn to repair cars—or enter any profession—without formal instruction, relying solely on trial and error over time. However, mechanic school condenses this process. What might take four or more years to learn independently can be mastered in just one year through structured lessons and real-world exercises. This is the ideal of education: a reasonable and effective way to accelerate expertise.

Yet, it’s important to recognize that formal schooling is not the only path to mastery. Many have fallen into the trap of believing that expertise can only be achieved through university education and that experts are defined solely by their credentials. This simply isn’t true. You can become an expert in a field without ever having studied it formally. True knowledge and skill can come from experience, self-education, and dedication outside the walls of academia.

What, then, has become the purpose of education today? The unfortunate reality is that education is now primarily about acquiring accreditation—a degree that acts as a license to work. Most students aren’t in school to truly learn; they are there to obtain the credentials necessary to secure a job. In many universities, students learn little of practical value because the education system is not tailored to the specific jobs they might take after graduation. Instead of teaching a craft or preparing students for real-world challenges, higher education often serves as little more than a mechanism to grant credentials.

This issue is compounded by the abstract and theoretical nature of many educational programs, particularly in managerial and administrative fields. The further removed education becomes from practical application, the more it devolves into exercises in theory—detached from reality. Complicating matters, universities are often reluctant to fail students. Failing a student means losing tuition revenue, so the incentive to push students intellectually is overshadowed by the financial incentive to pass them, regardless of their competence. This dynamic fosters an environment where mediocrity is tolerated, and genuine intellectual growth is stifled.

Now consider elite liberal arts education. Every society has an elite, and that elite must emerge from somewhere. Historically, elites arose from aristocracy, with power inherited through family lines. In the United States, however, meritocracy created an avenue for talented individuals from all walks of life to rise through the educational system. Elite liberal arts institutions once served to cultivate originality and independent thought among the best and brightest. These schools were meant to teach students how to teach themselves—how to become lifelong learners capable of mastering any subject.

Unfortunately, this ideal has been largely forgotten. Today, not only elite liberal arts colleges but higher education across Western democracies have become ideological echo chambers. These institutions often prioritize propagating a single worldview—typically aligned with leftist ideologies—over fostering genuine intellectual exploration. Students are encouraged to dismiss alternative perspectives rather than critically evaluate them. Such one-sided indoctrination undermines the very purpose of education.

A truly idiosyncratic and open-minded person is willing to entertain any idea, assess its merits, and determine its validity. Education should cultivate this openness and independence of thought, but in its current state, it falls far short of this ideal.

People who are deeply ideological often lack the ability to think critically. Ideology, by its nature, demands acceptance without question. When someone is taught to adhere to an ideology, they are not encouraged to challenge or analyze it—and as a result, they struggle to argue effectively or even entertain alternative perspectives. This inability to question their own beliefs leaves them unprepared to navigate a complex and nuanced world.

Consider a simple trade, like being a mechanic. A mechanic has a specific skill set and gets hired by a firm that needs their expertise in fixing cars. The relationship is straightforward: they perform their craft, get paid, and the transaction is complete. However, as one ascends into more elite or managerial roles, things become increasingly complicated. Motivations are no longer as clear-cut, and the work requires navigating layers of complexity.

For example, if you work in upper management at a public relations firm, your task might involve creating an advertising campaign to persuade people to buy a product. Unlike fixing a car, this requires understanding human emotions, needs, and desires—and crafting a message that taps into them effectively. It’s no longer a matter of simply applying a trade; it’s about influencing behavior in subtle, intricate ways. This complexity demands critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability—qualities that rigid ideological thinking cannot provide.

Another problem with elite education is the narrow and rigid path required to gain admission to top-tier schools. It’s not just about perfect grades and test scores; students must participate in numerous activities and maintain spotless disciplinary records. The process demands such careful navigation that it stifles natural intellectual curiosity and vitality. A person who is genuinely curious and full of energy is bound to make mistakes—it’s part of being human. Ironically, the most capable individuals often fail the most, and that’s a good thing. Mistakes provide valuable lessons, fostering growth and resilience that shape more capable adults in the long run. However, in today’s system, a single misstep as a teenager can disqualify someone from entering these elite institutions. This means that the very people who might contribute the most are often excluded, while those who succeed in this rigid framework come with their own set of potentially dangerous flaws.

The profile of students who gain admission to elite universities has been distilled into a very specific type. These individuals are highly intelligent and ambitious, but they are also rigidly compliant, rule-following, and extremely risk-averse. They avoid taking any action that could jeopardize their position, focusing solely on what they know will advance their prospects. While this mindset may be well-suited for roles in risk-averse industries like insurance, it is far less effective in most other fields—especially leadership roles, where boldness and innovation are critical. Additionally, these students are often unwilling to challenge the consensus. When faced with prevailing opinions or trends, they follow along almost robotically. This blind adherence to conformity not only stifles their ability to think independently but also leaves them oblivious to absurdities that more critical thinkers would immediately question and reject.

Another notable quality of these elite students is their pronounced individualism. While ambition naturally fosters some degree of individualism—since the drive to outdo others often separates people from the pack—these students take it to an extreme. They have little sense of belonging to something greater than themselves and primarily look out for their own interests, often at the expense of others. Universities do little to foster any sense of collective responsibility or mutual support, leaving everyone to fend for themselves.

This hyper-individualism also makes them susceptible to corruption, though not always in the obvious sense of bribery. While slipping a $100 bill to a police officer is overt corruption, the kind found among elites is often subtler. For example, a CEO stepping down to take a role as chairman of a government regulatory agency overseeing their former industry is a more insidious form of corruption—one that is quietly normalized and even encouraged in elite circles. Compounding the issue is that these students often lack real-world working experience, leaving them ill-prepared to understand or navigate the broader implications of their actions.

Elite students are taught to craft narratives as a substitute for reality, believing that the ability to spin compelling stories equates to being “smart.” This approach thrives in academic environments because these elite institutions exist within insulated bubbles of privilege and wealth, often financed by staggering student loans. Within these bubbles, students can create their own “reality” and ignore the real world, shielded from critique or accountability. As a result, they end up living in a carefully constructed fantasy, detached from the complexities and challenges of life outside their academic enclaves.

The result is that these students graduate with impressive credentials but little to no real-world experience. Government agencies and corporations assume that a degree from an elite university signifies competence, taking these graduates seriously—even if they are mediocre or lack true capability—simply because of the institution’s prestige. Admission to these elite schools effectively determines who will become the future leaders of society. Those who control admissions wield immense power, as they shape the pool of individuals who will ascend to positions of influence.

Moreover, these students are singularly focused on their own advancement and will do whatever it takes to gain admission and remain in good standing at these institutions. Unfortunately, many of today’s graduates lack the ability to think critically. Instead, they parrot the ideological ideas they were taught in university, having been trained to conform rather than to question or innovate.

True creativity is finite—it ebbs and flows. While we can’t easily quantify or measure it, we instinctively know it exists. The key lies in recognizing where and when to express it. For instance, your clothing might serve as a canvas for creativity in certain social settings, but you cannot—and should not—be original in every facet of life. Selectively applying creativity is essential. Attempting to “reinvent the wheel” at every opportunity can lead to wasted effort or missed opportunities.

Think back to school. Perhaps you tried to stand out—through your clothing, your writing, or even the way you expressed ideas. Maybe you submitted a paper that was experimental or unconventional. Sometimes it resonated; other times it fell flat. The problem is that schools often don’t reward this kind of thinking. Our education system, rooted in standardized testing and rigid expectations, tends to stifle originality in favor of practicality. I’ve personally written thought-provoking, original papers only to receive mediocre grades. Instead of being rewarded, my creativity was penalized, ultimately impacting metrics like GPA that are deemed critical for success.

This disconnect reflects a deeper societal issue: the tension between individuality and conformity. The solution is not to suppress creativity but to channel it strategically. Recognize the areas of your life where originality will benefit you most—and focus your efforts there. Save your creative energy for pursuits where it matters, rather than squandering it in contexts where conformity is rewarded.

Originality is like a wild beast. If untamed, it can harm you; but if controlled and directed, it becomes a powerful ally. Reflect on the choices you’ve made—on those original ideas or projects that didn’t pay off. Consider instead how you can wield your creativity deliberately, aligning it with areas where you want to excel. By doing so, you’ll not only stand out but also thrive in a world that often undervalues the power of independent thought.

Ultimately, good judgment is not a product of high IQ or prestigious credentials—it comes from real-world experience and learning through failure. Failing as a young person provides invaluable lessons that shape stronger, more capable adults. In contrast, those who have always been risk-averse and strictly compliant, doing only what they are told, avoid mistakes but also miss the opportunity to develop sound judgment. Without the experience of making and correcting poor decisions, they grow into adults who lack the wisdom to navigate complex situations or discern the best course of action.

Luigi Mangione, Political Violence, and The Illusion of Progress thumbnail

Luigi Mangione, Political Violence, and The Illusion of Progress

/in , , , , , , , /by

By Long Run News

Having been born in Honduras, I’ve seen firsthand the effects of political violence—a grim reality familiar to many across Latin America. Political violence often functions as a tool for power, used by politicians and parties to suppress dissent and consolidate control. “One hand washes the other,” as the saying goes: the politicians empower the rioters, and the rioters support the politicians.

But political violence is not always spontaneous. There are instances when unrest erupts out of sheer frustration with leadership, triggered by significant or seemingly trivial events. A prime example is the Rodney King Riots in 1992—six days of civil unrest fueled by public outrage over police brutality. However, not all instances of political violence arise organically.

On December 4, 2024, in Midtown Manhattan, the nature of political violence took a chilling turn.

The Catalyst: The Murder of Brian Thompson

In the early hours of that day, Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was shot and killed outside the New York Hilton Midtown Hotel. Thompson, a controversial figure, had become a lightning rod for public anger due to UnitedHealthcare’s perceived exploitation of patients and sky-high premiums. His policies, which were widely criticized for prioritizing profit over patient care, made him a symbol of corporate greed in the American healthcare system.

The accused, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, was no ordinary suspect. A University of Pennsylvania graduate with a degree in economics, Mangione’s profile defied expectations. He came from a middle-class family in New Jersey and had excelled academically. Yet, Mangione’s later writings, found in his apartment, revealed a deep disillusionment with the U.S. healthcare system and the broader economic inequalities he believed it represented. His online posts spoke of “economic violence” inflicted on ordinary Americans and labeled corporate executives like Thompson as “tyrants.”

Mangione’s act of violence was not an isolated incident of personal grievance but a reflection of a larger, growing sentiment of frustration and anger. To many who felt crushed by systemic inequities, his act symbolized a form of retribution, however morally repugnant. The public’s response was startling. What would have been universally condemned a decade ago was met with a mix of cheers, sympathy, and outrage. On social media, hashtags such as #JusticeForMangione and #CorporateAccountability trended, illustrating a troubling shift in societal attitudes toward violence as a political statement.

This reaction demonstrates how polarization and systemic failures can transform acts of individual violence into symbolic gestures that resonate with larger political movements. Mangione’s crime was not merely personal; it was politicized, amplified by ideological divisions, and framed as a radical but inevitable response to perceived injustices.

The Rise of Polarization

The growing use of political violence cannot be separated from the deepening polarization within our society. The divisions between the professional-managerial class and other groups have intensified, often manifesting in ideological clashes. These groups, representing diverging interests and priorities, are locked in an escalating conflict.

Class tensions exacerbate this divide. While issues like feminism, migration, and LGBTQ rights dominate headlines, they are often symptoms of a broader problem: systemic inequality. The professional-managerial class, serving entrenched economic interests, benefits from a system that marginalizes others. This deepens societal rifts and drives people to ideological extremes.

Both sides of the political spectrum bear responsibility for this polarization. On the Left, groups like Antifa engage in activities that are tacitly condoned by some leaders, eroding public trust in institutions. On the Right, inflammatory rhetoric and the rise of extremist factions contribute to the cycle of hostility. Acknowledging the culpability of both sides is essential for an honest conversation about the roots of political violence.

Historical Lessons

The people who inflict violence and get away with it, they usually win and then they start inflicting this political violence on not just their opponents but ultimately on the entire people. Why? Because they need the violence to stay in power and staying in power becomes an end of itself and therefore the use of violence becomes an end of itself. They need to keep on using the violence, more and more repression, and abuse to stay in power. This story is not new, it is a tale as old as time and the United States is not an exception to this.

History is replete with examples of leaders who weaponized political violence for short-term gain, leaving behind legacies of destruction and trauma. Adolf Hitler’s rise in Nazi Germany serves as a stark example. In 1934, during the Night of the Long Knives, Hitler ordered the purge of the Sturmabteilung (SA) leadership, a paramilitary group that had helped him gain power but was perceived as a threat to his regime. This violent consolidation of power eliminated rivals and secured the loyalty of the military, but it also entrenched a culture of fear and repression that defined the Nazi regime. Similarly, his use of the Gestapo to silence dissent further illustrates how political violence suppresses opposition at the cost of long-term stability.

The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia relied heavily on violence to overthrow the Provisional Government. Following their seizure of power in 1917, the Bolsheviks, under Lenin and later Stalin, initiated the Red Terror. This campaign targeted perceived enemies of the revolution, including political opponents and members of the bourgeoisie. Stalin’s Great Purge in the 1930s further amplified this violence, leading to the execution and imprisonment of millions. These actions secured short-term control but created a legacy of fear and societal fragmentation that haunted Russia for decades.

These examples illustrate a critical lesson: political violence, while seemingly effective in the short term, fosters resentment, fear, and instability. It is a tool that prioritizes coercion over consensus, making its gains unsustainable.

Grievances vs. Violence

Americans have legitimate grievances about the healthcare system, economic inequality, and systemic failures. Sky-high costs, denied claims, and deaths from medical negligence fuel anger and hopelessness. However, resorting to political violence undermines the very foundation of democracy.

Violence silences opposition and instills fear, bypassing the democratic process of debate and mutual understanding. While it may yield immediate results, these changes lack the durability of reforms achieved through consensus and dialogue. A society that normalizes violence sacrifices its ability to resolve conflicts peacefully, trading stability for temporary power.

A New Era of Violence in the United States

In the United States, political violence is a relatively new phenomenon compared to other parts of the world. Yet, its trajectory is all too familiar. It begins with the illusion of progress but ultimately suppresses opposition through fear.

The murder of Brian Thompson and the subsequent public reaction marks a turning point. Mangione’s actions, whether seen as a desperate protest or a reprehensible crime, underline the dangerous potential of systemic failures to fuel political violence. When grievances are ignored or dismissed, they fester and manifest in ways that threaten the foundations of a democratic society.

We must ask ourselves: Is this the society we want? A society where fear, not reason, dictates change?

Political violence is not a shortcut to meaningful progress; it is a dangerous detour that erodes the foundations of democracy. History teaches us that societies built on fear and repression are inherently unstable, fostering division and ultimately leading to ruin.

A Path Forward

To combat the rise of political violence, we must address the underlying causes of polarization. This includes tackling economic inequality, rebuilding trust in institutions, and fostering civic education that emphasizes dialogue and mutual respect. Politicians, community leaders, and everyday citizens must prioritize consensus over conflict and dialogue over division.

We must also resist the temptation to justify violence, regardless of its source. Condemning violence consistently and unequivocally sends a clear message: no grievance, however legitimate, justifies the erosion of democratic principles.

The future of our society depends on our ability to recognize political violence for what it is: a dangerous illusion of progress. By learning from history and committing to peaceful resolution, we can build a more just and stable society for all.

The Only Truth Is Power thumbnail

The Only Truth Is Power

/in , , , , /by

By Long Run News

The only truth is power, and as time goes on, this becomes more apparent. Politicians, corporations, and those who serve their interests use our ideals, beliefs, and values to divide us. They separate themselves from the resulting ideological wars to leverage our desires in ways that serve them economically.

The culture of the modern political landscape is a divisive facade, designed for those at the top to profit from the confusion of others. There is no difference between Republicans and Democrats, as they all believe the same thing. Aside from rhetoric, Barack Obama was really not much different from Donald Trump on issues related to national defense in foreign nations or the deportation of illegal immigrants. It is an illusory effect, as one would think that the views of the players within our system starkly contrast each other. On the surface, this would be correct. However, in reality, this is far from the truth. The truth is that there is a status quo within the system that must be maintained, operating below the surface of what the American people are being told. The status quo involves passing laws that serve the special interests they cater to, as well as upholding issues no matter their political affiliation. They uphold the status quo simply because it benefits them and fills their lust for power.

Politicians act strategically when such actions benefit them, such as when multiple liberal and conservative lawmakers held stock in companies related to the national response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. These, of course, are not groundbreaking statements, as it almost feels like in our current political climate most would agree with such assertions. Yet, many people still buy into the divisive political landscape. Naturally, this is because they want their interests to be met and their values upheld. Values are simply the currency many within our governing bodies use to manipulate the masses into electing them. Can you blame them? Especially when the financial incentives associated with being an active participant in governing bodies are so high?

Among the people, however, labels, lack of nuanced thinking, black-and-white perspectives, and the inability to compromise are destroying the dialogue surrounding government. One such example is affordable healthcare. The cost of healthcare is outrageous; corporations love it when the idea of making healthcare affordable for all is labeled a socialist ideal. The worst part is that the people arguing against it are pathetic puppets who don’t see a lick of profit from the entities they shill for. Why are we debating others to protect the interests of those who abuse us, effectively prostituting ourselves freely simply because we believe they have our best interests at heart?

It is time to stop viewing situations within our country through the lens of divisive rhetoric in order to see them for what they truly are. It is time that we, as people, learn to be impartial when making judgments—to adopt views based on what we truly believe and not attribute our views to specific labels that divide us into categories based on what we think, which in turn creates results that those above us stand to benefit from. It is truly only a game of power, where ideals are used as a cover to hide the fact that our leaders are pawns of corporate interests—entities that ultimately only have one ideal: power. To corporate interests, the only true belief is power, and politicians cover them very well by playing in their favor. We live in a nation where money is the only belief, as under the pressure of finance, there are very few who would not give up their ideals.

Why are we fighting each other over ideology when the politicians we put our trust in are trading stocks? We are the only ones who have different beliefs, as our politicians are all united under one belief. There is no God or belief greater in the here and now to a politician than power over people in an atheistic society that many still purport to be under one God. Perhaps in the hearts of the powerless few, our society is still governed by the ideals of the Bible, but in reality, our nation is governed by the wants of corporate interests.

The longer we remain divided on issues on which we can compromise, the greater the abuse of those at the top toward us will become.

Democrats fought against free speech to preserve what they perceived as social equality for all people; in the same way, Republicans desecrated free speech to preserve traditional values during a time when many in the conservative space chalked up societal decay to an issue of censorship. When it comes to pandering to the masses, both sides gleefully indulge in fulfilling their orgasmic desire for advantageous political positioning. We are the fools for choosing to believe that two parties that claim to be different from each other really have the same interest—an interest that is not the well-being or preservation of our society or morals.

Despite the United States having an extremely religious population, we live in an atheistic culture—a culture where the pursuit of self-interest negates the need for belief in a religious entity.

Money is God, as there can be no God where man is able to serve himself completely in the pursuit of his own desires. This serves our leaders very well, as they deceive us into believing they can relate to our morals while simultaneously distancing themselves from the morality that would stop them in their pursuit of power. In actuality, the beliefs of those who serve us only reflect the atheistic state of our culture—a state of self-interest, self-pursuit, and serving interests that only stand to benefit them.

Mike Pence is a gutless servant of the global Luciferian death cult who claims to be ‘pro-life’

/in , , , , , /by

ABC News and multiple other media outlets are reporting today that former Vice President Mike Pence, who did not endorse or support President-elect Donald Trump during the 2024 election cycle, has come out in opposition to Trump’s choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Pence cited Kennedy’s past support for abortion as the reason for his opposition. This, despite RFK Jr.’s recent pledge to continue the pro-life policies of Trump’s first term, such as cutting off taxpayer funding to groups that finance abortion procedures, and ending the Biden policy of forcing pro-life healthcare providers to participate in abortions against their conscience.

According to pro-life Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, Kennedy “committed to me to reinstate President Trump’s pro-life policies at HHS. He told me he believes there are far too many abortions in the US and that we cannot be the moral leader of the free world with abortion rates so high.”

Yet, Pence said in a statement that choosing Kennedy is a departure from what he framed as the Trump-Pence administration’s general opposition to abortion access.

Pence wrote:

“I believe the nomination of RFK Jr. to serve as Secretary of HHS is an abrupt departure from the pro-life record of our administration and should be deeply concerning to millions of Pro-Life Americans who have supported the Republican Party and our nominees for decades.”

HERE’S MY TAKE on Mr. Pence:

This is all smoke and mirrors. I don’t’ believe Pence’s rejection of RFK Jr. has anything to do with abortion or being pro life and here’s why.

This is Pence being Pence. He’s grandstanding. His rejection of Kennedy has nothing to do with abortion and everything to do with the fact that Bobby Kennedy opposes everything that Pence stands for, with regard to pandemic lockdowns, forced masking and vaxing, allowing Big Pharma to have its way with deadly experimental treatments, and Big Agriculture to continue poisoning our food and water.

In short, Mike Pence is a creature of the establishment and the military-industrial-biosecurity complex that feeds the international beast system.

Pence has never pushed against the system in his entire political career. As governor of Indiana, when he was threatened with boycotts by those bringing big sporting events to his state, he caved and allowed the transgenderization of public bathrooms.

And, in point of fact, Pence’s own record on issues of life is sketchy at best. Because being pro-life involves more than just being against abortion.

Pence supports the mRNA death shots. He supports giving unfettered legal protection to vaccine manufacturers even as more of their toxic vaccines are pumped into our children, nearly 100 injections by the time they reach the age of 18. That’s why we are seeing so much autism and heart issues in children. How is that being pro-life?

Pence is also a neocon warmonger. He has over the years wholeheartedly supported using U.S. military power to intervene in foreign wars that have taken the lives of thousands of young men and women for absolutely no valid national security reason.

Did the war in Iraq make America safer?

Did the war in Afghanistan make us any safer?

How about the war in Ukraine? Has it made us more secure? Quite the opposite.

But these wars have killed a lot of people, including women and children and elderly civilians, not to mention thousands of Americans in the cases of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mike Pence is a hypocrite. In some ways, he’s the Republican version of Jimmy Carter. He wears his Christianity on his sleeve but applies his Christian principles selectively.

Call me old school. But in my book, that’s called a coward.

The fact that the corrupt corporate media outlets still run to Mike Pence to publish his irrelevant opinions should tell us everything about the man.

“Above Us Only Sky”

/in , , , /by

By Jerry Newcombe, D. Min.

Jimmy Carter helped put “born again” Christianity on the map in America. He made a big deal about his having accepted Jesus as his Savior and Lord. Many conservatives were disappointed with his governance, but no one could deny his consistent profession of faith.

When the 100-year old former president’s funeral service was held in the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., it was odd that there was a mixture of beautiful Christian sacred music, along with Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood singing John Lennon’s atheistic ballad, “Imagine.”

“Imagine” encapsulates a secular worldview very well: “Imagine there’s no heaven / It’s easy if you try / No hell below us / Above us, only sky.”

Wow—no accountability. We can make up all the rules. Live anyway we want to, and we’ll never have to answer for it. As Church Lady might say, “How conveeeeeenient!”

“Imagine” croons on: “Imagine all the people / Living for today…Imagine there’s no countries / It isn’t hard to do / Nothing to kill or die for / And no religion, too.”

Some of these lyrics seem to be clearly at odds with Carter’s professed faith in Jesus.

In his January 10, 2025 edition of “Gary Varvel’s Views from the Right,” the syndicated political cartoonist comments: “The song, ‘Imagine’ is the opposite of what Carter said he believed. Look, I have some doctrinal issues with Carter’s position on abortion and marriage but he claimed to be born again which requires faith in Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. Based on that, I assume Carter also believed in life after death and a literal heaven. So why on earth would Garth sing the song, ‘Imagine?’”

I agree with Varvel that this seems like cognitive dissonance.

But John Nichols writes in The Nation (1/10/25) that Carter did like this particular song. In fact, Brooks and Yearwood also played “Imagine” at the 2023 funeral of Carter’s wife Rosalynn.

Nichols notes: “The late president celebrated the impact and influence of the song, which decries war, nationalism, and the excesses of capitalism.”

Nichols adds: “Carter spoke more than once about his enthusiasm for the song.”

The sentiment of “Imagine” may sound nice. But the reality is very different. The problem with the song is that it attacks the solutions to the stated goals. If the goal is world peace, the last thing you want is the absence of God holding sinful human beings to account. Just ask the victims of Fidel Castro.

What Lennon and Yoko Ono’s song does is to undermine the very solution to the problems that plague humanity. Which has been demonstrated over and over by the atheistic utopian regimes (Mao in China, Stalin in the USSR, Pol Pot in Cambodia, etc.) that engineered the deaths of over 100 million people in the 20th century alone.

America’s founders and early leaders recognized the sinfulness of man and that God would hold us to account one day. That’s why the Constitution has proved so durable.

Most of the original state constitutions, notes historian Bill Federer, author of The Original 13: A Documentary History of Religion in America’s First Thirteen States, required that those who held public office be believers in God, lest they advocate lawlessness.

For instance, Federer cites the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776, which required officeholders to acknowledge “one God, the Creator and Governor of the Universe, the Rewarder of the good and the Punisher of the wicked. And I do acknowledge the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by Divine Inspiration.” Ben Franklin signed this.

Federer told me, “Later, Pennsylvania’s 1790, 1838, 1874 and 1968 Constitutions contained the wording: ‘That no person, who acknowledges the being of a God and a future state of rewards and punishments, shall, on account of his religious sentiments, be disqualified to hold any office or place of trust or profit under this commonwealth.’” Knowing our accountability to God should change how we act.

The more self-government we practice, the less need we have for external government. And the opposite is true too. The less self-control, the more external control is needed.

And where does self-government come from? From voluntary religion.

Robert Winthrop, a Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives in the mid-19th century, once put it this way: “Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them or by a power without them; either by the Word of God or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible or by the bayonet.”

The problem with the song “Imagine” is that it is predicated on the goodness of man—a chimerical idea at best.

I’ll take the hymn “Be Still My Soul,” set to the music of Sibelius’ “Finlandia,” which was also performed at the former president’s funeral, any day over “Imagine.”

Think TikTok’s Bad? Check Out The Latest Chinese App Driving American Kids Wild thumbnail

Think TikTok’s Bad? Check Out The Latest Chinese App Driving American Kids Wild

/in , , , , /by

By The Daily Caller

If you thought TikTok was bad, just wait until you hear about RedNote.

As the Supreme Court weighs the future of TikTok, teen girls obsessed with the app aren’t taking any chances. They’ve already begun to migrate to another Chinese psyop, a new social media app endearingly called “RedNote.”

The real name of the app is Xiaohongshu, and it’s widely popular in China with 300 million users. That translates literally to “Little Red Book” — a nod to the pamphlet of Mao Zedong quotes widely distributed during China’s Cultural Revolution — but it was shortened by American teens to simply, “RedNote.”

The app is culturally very Chinese, so it’s no surprise that it never caught on with Americans. But with TikTok’s fate hanging in the balance, US mobile downloads tripled over the past week, CNN reported. That’s more than 700,000 Americans about to get obliterated by Chinese propaganda (to say nothing of the data vulnerability). TikTok at least has a patina of Americanism; RedNote is straight-up, well — Red.

“Our government is out of their minds if they think we’re going to stand for this TikTok ban,” one seemingly American user said in a RedNote video message, which has racked up more than 45,000 likes. “We’re just going to a new Chinese app, and here we are.”

Of course, the numbers could very well be manipulated here. It plays to China’s advantage to make it appear as though American teens have a love affair with China over their own government. So in a mutual show of cultural respect, Chinese users are reportedly helping these “TikTok refugees” learn to navigate the app. One Chinese tech analyst told CNN that the potential TikTok ban “unexpectedly created one of the most organic forms of cultural exchange between the US and China we’ve seen in recent years.”

That’s surely what China would like you to believe, but the truth remains to be seen. However, for any American who simply can’t resist this Chinese entrapment, perhaps they should consider changing their allegiances more permanently. I’ve heard China is lovely this time of year.

Open Letter to Marxist Mayor Of Los Angeles Karen Bass Former Activist For Cuban Communists thumbnail

Open Letter to Marxist Mayor Of Los Angeles Karen Bass Former Activist For Cuban Communists

/in , , , /by

By Geoff Ross USN retired Surface Warfare/Air Warfare

Greetings Comrade Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass,

In the late 1970’s you made numerous trips to Communist Cuba in a show of solidarity with the Communist dictatorship of Fidel Castro.

You actively participated in the leadership of the anti-capitalist pro Communist group the Venceremos Brigade. This is fact. Also, is it true the FBI interviewed you for your participation in this Un-American activity?

Antonio Villaraigosa the former mayor of Los Angeles was also a member of this Communist pro-Fidel Castro organization the Venceremos Brigade which is also aligned with the Communist dictatorship of Nicolàs Maduro in Venezuela.

This Marxist political ideology running rampant in California and the Democrat Party would explain why Governor Newsom has made numerous trips to Communist China along with the Governor of Minnesota the failed vice-presidential candidate.

Your active participation with the Venceremos Brigade which has funded hundreds of American students to visit Communist Cuba for radicalization is a testament of your character.

I think you should be wanting to warn young Americans about the evils of communism not promoting it which is why you Madam Madam mayor are no doubt on a FBI watchlist. My opinion.

California’s leadership or lack off is nothing more than a Communist cesspool of radical Marxists. Thus you defunded the fire department $17 million in Los Angeles to help fund your far left agenda including the free money given away to homeless drug abusers.

According to the investigation conducted by the Los Angeles Police Dept. members of the Venceremos Brigade were trained in guerilla warfare, bomb making, and sabotage. Mayor Bass do you still support this organization?

Mayor Karen Bass, you visited Communist Cuba more than 8 times as a leader of the Venceremos Brigade.

What is your reasoning for such trips? Perhaps you despise free market capitalism and the freedoms and prosperity it would bring to the beautiful but besieged Cuban citizens yearning to be free.

You gleefully praised the former dictator Fidel Castro on your twice yearly trips to Communist Cuba and upon his death you praised him and said quote “His death is a great loss to the people of Cuba”

Seriously? Do you know how many people fled Communism in Cuba for freedom in Miami due to Fidel Castro’s evil tyranny?

Do you still support Fidel Castro and the current Cuban dictatorship’s imprisonment of political dissenters who oppose such a tyrannical dictatorship?
Do you also support the dictatorship of Nicolàs Maduro in Venezuela?

The website of the Venceromos Brigade (https://vb4cuba.com) is nothing more than sweet looking Communist propaganda machine which also posts false and defamatory information about President Trumps family. It’s pure hatred for capitalism and our constitutional republic.

So one of the largest cities in America Los Angeles is now begging for resources like water to fight fires and spare parts for fire trucks but the Mayors Marxist mindset redirects tax payer money away from public safety.

Instead she sends this tax payer money to pro far left Marxist NGOs or None Government Organizations to fund her radical pro Communist agenda. Fact not opinion.

The streets of Los Angeles are filled with homeless drug addicts and criminal illegal immigrants protected with California’s US citizens tax payer money. Fact not opinion.

Let’s not forget the terrorist group M19 with ties to the
Venceromos Brigade detonated explosives at the US Capital on November 7th 1983. Was this during Mayor Bass’s leadership role in the Venceromos Brigade? Just asking.

The Marxists running California and the once great City of Angels are corrupt incompetent low IQ bottom feeding low life Communists who should be stripped of US citizenship and deported to North Korea.

UK Now So Orwellian Even Meta Data About Truth Too Dangerous For The British To Mention thumbnail

UK Now So Orwellian Even Meta Data About Truth Too Dangerous For The British To Mention

/in , , , /by

By Vlad Tepes Blog

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” — George Orwell. 1984

Meta data is information about information.

For example:

A guy commits a crime, and the police suspect it was him, but don’t have a warrant to tap his phone. So they check the available meta data on his phone such as who called, when did they call, and for how long. They can’t hear the conversation, but they can know that say, his mother called at the time of the crime and he didn’t answer, when he normally always answers and they talk for over 20 minutes. But this time he didn’t pick up at all or his phone was off.

With this and similar kinds of meta data, they can get a warrant to do whatever more intrusive searches they want.

When it comes to Muslims committing acts of terrorism or major crimes, we here in Dar al Harb have learned to use meta data to know the motives and nature of these events.

Back in the early days of the jihad on us all, we would hear that a man named Mohammad or a variation of same, would say, randomly stab a bunch of people in the neck while yelling the Arabic Phrase, “Allah hu ackbar”. We were not told this was an act of Islamic jihad, but eventually even the slowest picked up on it.

Then, they stopped telling is the name of the perp. If it was a Muslim name, we knew. That little bit of meta data as enough for us to have forbidden information. It was a Muslim killing random infidels as his religion commands him to do. So they stopped telling us the name, usually for several days or a week till any proper outrage had passed and there was no fear of anyone doing anything effective to stop the mass importation of Jihadis into Western nations.

They also stopped telling us that people yelled allah hu ackbar while committing these acts. Witnesses would be suppressed. Then they would start to not just lie by omission, but lie of fabrication. A dozen years or so ago, the media, facing ever more ludicrous rules from communist organizations like the National Union of Journalists, would create special rules for reporting on what they called “minorities”. Which seldom means minorities, but always means anyone but a white male had to be ‘protected’ such that people might not form a negative opinion about a hostile group before that group was too powerful to control us all. So they started claiming that the jihadi was mentally ill. They would report that the attacker, who usually followed koranic instructions for killing infidels to the letter was mentally ill before they even claimed to know his name. So somehow, they got his medical records unsealed within an hour and without even knowing who it was.

At that point they didn’t care that we knew they were lying to us. There was bugger all we could do about it.

Nonetheless, those of us who cared to know the truth carried on, interpreting meta data into reality as we could. When we heard a nameless person entered a church and cut the head off of a priest for instance, and wrote something in a foreign language, we knew it was a Muslim waging jihad against the infidel in the land of the infidels.

The next big squeeze on what we could know and say came when a Muslim waging jihad on the infidel stabbed something like 11 little girls at a Taylor Swift dance party killing three of them in Southport England. The lies of omissions started. He was a good boy from somewhere in Wales.People who correctly said it was an act of Islamic jihad found themselves sentenced to a year and a half in prison. The public got the message. We cannot interpret the meta data of Islamic jihad as such, or we will be destroyed.

Please watch the whole video below, produced by a regular fellow in the UK trying to describe what is obviously an act of jihad where a nurse was stabbed so badly she is described as having life changing injuries.

This the scariest video out of the UK in many ways. The fact that the public is now so Orwelled, for lack of a better term, that they know they may not speak aloud the truth if it contradicts state narratives, and narratives who’s intent is to destroy every aspect of them, is horrifying.

The California Marxist Government’s Incompetence and the Burning Down of Los Angeles thumbnail

The California Marxist Government’s Incompetence and the Burning Down of Los Angeles

/in , , , , , /by

By Geoff Ross USN retired Surface Warfare/Air Warfare

The incompetent, borderline criminal acts of Governor Newsom and his Communist California legislators have literally by executive order and signed legislation burned down a significant portion of Los Angeles and its surrounding neighborhoods.

The voters in California legal and illegal should pay close attention to the low IQ zero bottom feeding leadership they have put into office in Sacramento and Los Angeles.

Take in point- During the massive fires spreading across Los Angeles and Pacific Palisades local residents Patrick and Evan Golling saved their house and their neighbors home by using their swimming pool water.

They purchased a new small gasoline powered pool pump and used it to draw water from their pool and spray it over their surrounding property.

They actually broke the law with this purchase because Governor Newsom recently signed into law (October 9th 2024) banning the sale of such gasoline -powered small-motorized equipment.

This bill AB1346 was written by Assemblyman Marc Berman which ordered the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to ban the sale of such motorized engines / pool pumps.

Now we wait and see if this family get prosecuted for using an illegal gas powered pool pump which saved their home and most likely their neighbors homes too.

Governor Newsom also signed an executive order that banned the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035 making it impossible to evacuate in a future fire without a zero emissions vehicle.

The power lines were shut off in the Pacific Palisades to prevent them from falling and creating more problems. This would thus make it impossible to charge an Electric Vehicle if this unconstitutional ban on new gasoline powered vehicles stands.

Let’s not exclude the fact the water reservoirs were empty in the Pacific Palisades and the fire department had minimal water pressure to discharge from their firehoses.

The Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass (born in Los Angeles) was on a boondoggle back to her imaginary roots trip to celebrate the swearing in ceremony of the new president of Ghana when the wild fires broke out. I wonder who paid for this trip?

Seriously? It’s amazing the number of these self proclaimed African-Americans who have never been to Africa with zero ties to Africa so she made the trip.

The Mayor of Los Angeles gets an annual salary of $269,365, plus free housing and utilities at the Getty House so hopefully the tax payers did not fund this irrelevant trip. She is living the Socialist Stalinist dream.

There are also news reports stating Governor Newsom cut over $100 million dollars from the wildfire and resilience programs in California but this needs to investigated further with an audit in my opinion.

The state of California used to be the poster child of free market capitalism with entrepreneurs building a strong economy and expanding job creation.

Now California and in particular Los Angeles is a burning ember of failed leadership, unprecedented homeless camps filled with meth addicts and human despair.

Millionaires and the Hollywood elite are crying like babies over their losses which was created by the incompetent government they elected supported by their clown in the White House Joe Biden.

The failure to clear away dead brush close to these million dollar homes, the failure to fill the water reservoirs, the idiotic relocation of fresh mountain water run off into the Pacific, the failure to build fire breaks, the failure to prepare for such disasters and the massive assault on fossil fuels which is the lifeline and economic heartbeat of our nation implemented by these incompetent Marxists has come home to roost.

Let’s hope the citizens of California finally wake up and remove this criminal corrupt government from Sacramento and the local governments across the state.

When we suffer from hurricanes here in Florida we don’t need Mexican firefighters helping us nor do we need Canadian fire equipment.

We do have to contend though with the Biden Marxists refusing FEMA Aid to Florida homes with Trump signs after hurricanes though but that’s ok. We are totally self sufficient here, we don’t need the federal Commies in DC helping us.

Governor Newsom needs to be prosecuted for criminal conduct which resulted in the deaths of Americans he was elected to protect.

MYSTERY DRONES: Trump promises to release information on ‘day one’ thumbnail

MYSTERY DRONES: Trump promises to release information on ‘day one’

/in , , , , /by

By NEWSRAEL Telling the Israeli Story

WATCH: Americans take aim at “Mystery Drones” while Biden falters

President-elect Donald Trump recently promised to release information the Biden administration is concealing regarding the drone sightings all across the East Coast “about one day into the administration.”

OAN — “I’m going to give you a report on drones about one day into the administration, because I think it’s ridiculous that they are not telling you about what is going on with the drones,” Trump stated at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Thursday evening.

“They don’t want to talk about it, and nobody knows why they don’t want to talk about it. That could be us sending drones—I hope that’s the case. Us doing it and doing research. Maybe they don’t want to talk about it from that standpoint,” he continued, adding that there have been numerous drone sightings over his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.

The Biden administration previously faced criticism for keeping the public in the dark regarding the mass amount of drone sightings in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut towards the end of 2024.

Users took to social media to share videos of the mysterious drones and speculate the possible origins, raising questions of national security concerns due to the federal government keeping the public in the dark.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Defense (DOD) previously attempted to downplay the sightings, further fueling internet conspiracy theories.

“Having closely examined the technical data and tips from concerned citizens, we assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones,” the government agencies wrote in a joint statement.

Drones have also been reportedly seen flying over restricted airspace, including military facilities, nuclear reactors and airports.

Trump’s comments came during a meeting with Republican Governors Glenn Youngkin of Virginia and Ron DeSantis of Florida.

Critically Thinking about the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Federal Healthcare thumbnail

Critically Thinking about the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Federal Healthcare

/in , , , , /by

By John Droz, Jr.

Arguably, for the first time in modern U.S. history, the federal government is:

  1. open to making radical changes in government agencies,
  2. has the right political perspective, and
  3. is receptive to citizen inputs.

Yes, there are always reasons to be skeptical — but the upside is so great that we should assume the best, and offer assistance. For those who are incurably cynical and say no, then you are foregoing your future rights to complain!

I’m polling my Critical Thinking Substack readers as to their best ideas regarding the Department of Health and Human Services (FDA, CDC, etc.), Department of Education, Department of Energy, EPA, and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). [I have a connection with RFKjr, but if you have any good relations with the upper echelon of any of the other Departments, please email me.]

Let’s say that this is the scenario:

a) we are given five (5) minutes for a face-to-face meeting with the Secretary of each of these Departments, and 

b) we are asked to limit our suggestions to three (3) items. Due to these rules, we need filter out many ideas so that we are left with just three (3) succinct, important, doable recommendations.

Since we’re starting off a New Year, I’ll dedicate upcoming commentaries to each of the above-mentioned Departments, one at a time. In each commentary, I’ll propose MY suggested three (3) recommendations for a specific Department, and then Critically Thinking readers can constructively weigh in with support or any improvements on what I’ve proposed…

Then we’ll try to get each end product to each Department’s Secretary.

To get the ball rolling, I’ve drafted up three (3) recommendations for DHHS (RFK Jr.). Feel free to suggest edits of mine, or better ideas, in the Comments, below…

Bobby should formally adopt the slogan: “Real Science, not political science,” or something akin to that.

That should be the umbrella of his campaign to reform US health policies: he wants to root out the political science that has infested many US healthcare agencies. It’s important to specifically spell this out as most citizens are technically challenged and are not aware that this is what is transpiring.

IMO, this is the core health issue, as Big Pharma and other self-serving parties are aggressively pushing political science. As a result, the FDA, CDC, AMA, etc., have completely lost touch with their mission statements, statutory obligations, etc.

For example, the FDA’s use of Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) of Paxlovid and formal Approval of Remdesivir is simply putrid. On the other hand, the FDA’s resistance to such therapies as Ivermectin (e.g., here) is criminally incompetent.

See the unique side-by-side comparison I put together of these two options, plus every other major pre- and post-COVID treatment. To my knowledge, no one else in the country has published this type of analysis. This powerful (but easy to understand) table quite clearly exposes which COVID-19 treatment options are Real Science and which are political science.

The FDA’s drug, etc. Approval process (particularly EUAs), needs to be radically upgraded.

The objective would be to change Approvals/EUAs so that they are genuinely Science-based — not due to politics. Tackling this critically important part of the FDA’s incompetence would be a wise and powerful strategy, as fixing the FDA’s therapy Approval process would have enormous ramifications across the rest of the FDA and the medical establishment in general. This would profoundly benefit American citizens.

Since the objective here is to cut to the chase, I wrote out a two-page summary of major changes that the FDA should be mandated to make, regarding their awarding of any medical product an EUA or the more formal Approval.

Since Bobby will have some power over the FDA, these very specific — and scientifically justified — reforms should be able to be mandated on the FDA. Accomplishing these would be among the most significant US medical changes over the last 50 years…

The public needs to be re-educated about the extreme importance of maintaining good health.

Prevention is a hundred times better than experimenting with ailment cures. This includes basics, like: balanced nutrition, proactive care (e.g., exercise, good sleep, etc.), and maintaining a strong immune system. These are low-cost, mostly simple efforts that almost every American would benefit from fairly quickly.

Note: the fact that Fauci, Birx, et al stunningly didn’t say a word about any of these regarding COVID-19, is proof positive of their estrangement from real Science.

Yes, I am fully aware that there are a multitude of other healthcare related issues — and several of them are significant. The question is, if you only had five minutes to speak to RFK Jr., and were limited to your three (3) best recommendations, what would they be?

Minecraft is an online sandbox game in which the only limits to creativity and exploration are the players’ own imaginations. It is the best-selling video game of all time, with over 300 million copies sold, and is available on all gaming platforms, tablets, PCs, and mobile devices.

As a playable experience, Minecraft is suitable for all ages; however, it does include some combat elements. Players can play the game in two modes: creative and survival. While there is a storyline of sorts that players can complete, many gamers prefer the creative aspect of the game, building complex structures and complete towns and worlds that they can then share with other players.

The concept of Minecraft is simple. Players create and place different blocks of the same size and shape to create whatever they can imagine. The game also has chat filters and a reporting system that helps to control and mitigate inappropriate conduct on the game servers. Accounts also have parental controls, so parents of younger gamers have better oversight of their children’s gaming activities.

Yes, Greenland is Strategic thumbnail

Yes, Greenland is Strategic

/in , , , /by

By Kenneth R. Timmerman

I love it when Donald Trump makes the media talking heads explode.

If you believed their hyperventilating reaction to this week’s masterful press conference at Mar-a-Lago, the United States Navy was getting warships out of mothballs in preparation for a little gunboat diplomacy in Greenland and the Panama Canal.

And it wasn’t only in the U.S.

French foreign minister, Jean-Noel Barrot, puffed up like a peacock and beat his tiny chest on hearing the news. “There is no question of the EU letting other nations in the world, whoever they may be, attack its sovereign borders,” the little Frenchman sniffed. “We are a strong continent.”

Outgoing German chancellor Olof Scholz backed up his French bud with words of his own, with talk of “the principle of the inviolability of borders.” Those would be Denmark’s borders, not Germany’s.

The Danish foreign minister, while telling reporters that Greenland “has its own ambitions” and could become independent in the future, was more level-headed in acknowledging America’s very real national security concerns.

“We are open to dialogue with the Americans on how we can possibly cooperate even more closely than we do to ensure that the American ambitions are fulfilled,” he said.

Guess what? Greenland is indeed strategic.

FDR realized that at the onset of World War II when he ordered the U.S. Army to establish an air base in the south-east of the country once Denmark had been invaded by the Nazis in 1940. My Dad commanded the coastal artillery unit at the base, known as Bluie-West One – later renamed Narsarsuaq Air Base – as a 29-year old US Army Major.

In this early panoramic photo, stitched together from a series of stills taken in June 1942 from a nearby hill, you can see how bleak the area was.

The men on the base bathed in wooden washtubs, and whiled away the long arctic nights playing cards inside Quonset huts (My Dad is on the left). And they thanked their lucky stars to have those huts, because when they first arrived they slept in tents that regularly got swept away by the Arctic winds!

President Truman negotiated a Treaty with Denmark in 1951 that guaranteed the United States’s right to build and maintain military bases on the island and to move forces freely on its territory. Under President George W. Bush, the United States agreed to amend and supplement that treaty in 2004, limiting the U.S. presence to Thule Air Base.

President Trump wants to renegotiate the deal. Why? Because Russia and China pose a real and present threat to Greenland, and from Greenland, to the North American continent.

China, which has no territories above the 54rd parallel, is now claiming to be a “near-Arctic power.” This July, the U.S. Coast Guard encountered Chinese navy ships in the Bering Sea. China has been sending ice-breakers to the Arctic for five years, and more recently has started using the Northern Sea Route to receive crude oil shipments as an alternative to sending its tankers through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.

Neither Denmark nor the European Union can defend against Russian or Chinese aggression against Greenland or the Arctic. Only the United States can — but that protection comes at a cost. Serious European thinkers understand this. The French and German puff-pastry politicians do not.

But much worse for the Euros than U.S. designs on Greenland is the way Trump has simply sidelined the EU, showing them to be irrelevant in world affairs. He has his sights focused on serious countries such as Russia and China, and on containing potentially serious threats such as North Korea and Iran.

I suppose that’s why Trump was chatting away with Obama during Jimmy Carter’s funeral service at the National Cathedral, while neither of them deigned to even acknowledge the presence of Kamala Harris, who was scowling away just in front of them. Obama is a serious politician. Harris is not.

In Iran this week the top military official in charge of the Syria debacle, Brig. Gen. Behrouz Esbati, actually admitted that Iran had been thrown back on its heels. “We were defeated and defeated very badly,” he said, in remarks that traveled the world via social media but never appeared in Iran’s state-run media.

Meanwhile, in California Governor Gavin Newsom’s phony environmentalism is burning down the house to save the smelt, while in Washington, Biden is breaking the toys like a kid who has been kicked out of kindergarten.

Hey Gavin, wanna know what real men do on their vacation? They cut brush.

I discuss this as well as China’s COSCO invasion of the United States on this week’s Prophecy Today Weekend. As always, you can listen live on 104.9 FM or 550 AM in the Jacksonville, Florida, area, or by using the Jacksonville Way Radio app. If you miss us live, you can listen to the podcast here.

I respond to Ian Andrew-Patrick’s extraordinary January 10, 2025 article: “Britain’s Soul Is In Lockdown — Elon Musk Sees Tommy Robinson As The Key”

/in , /by

By Linda Goudsmit

Dear readers,

I have never posted my editorial opinions or anyone else’s work on my Pundicity page until today. I invite you to read independent British journalist Ian Andrew-Patrick’s extraordinary January 10, 2025 article below. His unflinching assessment of the British political landscape is precisely what is required for real reform in the UK, and his observations about Elon Musk’s unapologetic support for Tommy Robinson, both intersect with my writing and personal commitment to the protection of children and their innocence.

The globalist elite are waging all-out war on nation-states, and children are the primary target because children are the future of every society on Earth. Yet, it is still possible to defeat the globalists and to protect the children, but it requires our unflinching and unapologetic commitment to facts, and to the existence of right and wrong.

I hope you find Ian Andrew-Patrick’s article and my response interesting.

Most sincerely,

Linda

My editorial opinion posted on Ian Andrew-Patrick’s Substack website 011025:

This is a very important article!

We are at a turning point in history. We the people in America, in Britain, in Canada, and in Israel, have the opportunity to resurrect our nations and save our souls by making our countries moral again. The globalist elite who have trampled our rights are targeting our nations’ children, because children are the future of every society on earth. “Progressive” British governments have been protecting Muslim rape gangs in Britain for decades. “Progressive” American governments have been indoctrinating American children with Marxism for decades in American schools. “Progressive” Canadian governments have been tearing Canada apart piece by piece, and “Progressive” Israeli governments have collaborated with a savage enemy to topple Netanyahu’s nationalist government. So, what do these “progressive” governments all have in common?

Each named government is being funded and fomented by the globalist elite, but to what end? Progress toward what??

Globalism is a replacement ideology and its progress is toward establishment of the globalist elite’s dystopian world government, where individual and national sovereignty is replaced with planetary feudalism. In the globalist Unistate the people’s future is humanity’s feudal past. The globalist war is a war of attrition. My generation of American patriots is dying. My children’s generation of millennials is transitional. It is my grandchildren and great-grandchildren who are the primary targets of the globalist elite. And it is the globalist elite who are funding and fomenting worldwide proxy wars to destroy the innocence of the western world’s precious children. The innocence of children is being attacked by Muslim rape gangs in England, by Marxist indoctrination in American schools, by “progressive” policies in Canada, and by “progressive” enemies of the State in Israel. Everything is connected, and the globalist elite are swinging progressivism’s coordinated wrecking ball to collapse western civilization by destroying its Judeo-Christian infrastructure, including its morality which protects the individual, individual sovereignty, and the sovereignty of the nation state.

Make no mistake, the rape of little English school girls is the key to understanding the globalist elite and their wrecking ball, and Tommy Robinson is globalism’s existential enemy. Muslim rape gangs are funded, fomented, and protected by the globalist elite, because the globalist elite are in the business of soul murder. Any society that can ignore the intentional destruction of innocent children is already dead. But the English people can Make Britain Moral Again (MBMA), the Americans can Make America Moral Again (MAMA), the Canadians can Make Canada Moral Again (MCMA), and the Israelis cam Make Israel Moral Again (MIMA).

We the people of the world must stand together and say NO! We are the mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, uncles, aunts, friends, and neighbors who must protect the innocence of children. We are the family of man who must stand together and fight for the children, because the children cannot protect themselves. Elon Musk is correct––Tommy Robinson is the key to understanding the entire globalist megalomaniacal scheme to impose one world government––and it is not just Britain’s soul that is in lockdown. The western world must recognize that progressivism’s multiculturalism is the seismic humanitarian hoax that advances globalism’s population jihad, population replacement, and western societal collapse––one rape at a time.

Tommy Robinson, the undaunted, much maligned, imprisoned hero of little British schoolgirls, is the fulcrum on which the politics of the entire western world will turn––and we the people of the world must help him by simply being moral again. Let’s start by rejecting progressivism’s moral relativism and state unequivocally: Right and wrong exist. Raping little girls is simply wrong. It is wrong anywhere and everywhere and anytime it happens in the world. Period. Now, that wasn’t so hard was it?

Britain’s Soul Is In Lockdown – Elon Musk Sees Tommy Robinson As The Key

IAN ANDREW-PATRICK

JAN 09, 2025

Is Tommy Robinson the fulcrum on which UK politics will turn?

A country afraid of its heroes will inevitably elect its cowards. There is no better example than Great Britain, land of unfree and the home of the serf. Modern Britain is a nation run by foreigners, for foreigners and that is its future. While globalist scum like Biden, Macron and Trudeau are being elbowed into history’s dustbin, the British right is swinging hard left and they want the world to know it. As the most hated UK regime in living memory crumbles before our eyes, the self-selected leader of the opposition -Nigel Farage- is busy re-educating his voters. Nigel’s party is named ‘Reform’ -which apparently means “Rewind” as in “Replay the mass-immigration policies of the last 20 years”. Courtesy of Elon Musk -an American billionaire who, unlike Nigel, has no new best friends in Westminster- Pakistani child-rape gangs are back in the headlines -and that is where the trouble really starts.

Headlines being Nigel Farage’s personal territory of choice, he is now paddling madly to get in front of the Musk v Starmer story, while kicking sand in the face of the British hero who chose to die on that very hill. Not for the first time, Nigel Farage is prancing in Tommy Robinson’s footprints while claiming to blaze a trail.

It takes some nerve to steal the thunder of a prophet, but Farage is fearless -so long as his victim is safely behind bars. In search of a headline Farage would nick the laces from Tommy’s shoes if they weren’t locked in a jail cell. But it’s the jealous sneer that reveals Nigel as the eternal shadow puppet. Preening for his beloved TV cameras, the Reform party leader refuses point blank to even acknowledge let alone praise the uniquely tormented political prisoner who gave up his freedom rather then embrace the lie of Islamic integration. Suddenly Nigel has discovered an England plagued by immigrant pedophile gang-rapists, and he wants the T-shirt, the medals and a round of applause.

Turn the clock back a decade and there’s a different star over the stable. Speared and bloodied before the baying crowd, like a cornered bull Tommy Robinson roared alone for over a decade as the elite left-mob jeered their hatred of him and his underclass kin. Eyes fixed on the prize of reclaiming the culture into which he was born, Tommy fought on unbowed. But now, with Kier Starmer’s raving woke regime on the brink of collapse, party leader Nigel Farage will not lift one finger in Robinson’s honour, and babbles like a stooge when pressed for a reason why.

Let’s just take a moment and throw a little light on the United Kingdom’s official Prince of Darkness, the Luton Lazarus, the man they couldn’t kill, the one and only Tommy Robinson. It was he who outed the pedophile Muslim gang-rapists- he who defied the state/media propaganda dragons and spoke the unspeakable truth to power. And last but not least, Mr Farage, it was Tommy Robinson who drove the bulldozer that cleared the path for your Reform party to approach the gates of power.

Shame on Nigel Farage and his co-flunkies that it takes an American billionaire to explain why it is Tommy Robinson and not Farage himself that holds the key to overturning the three-wheeled woke-wagon of the British state. A system as wholly corrupted as Britain’s needs a political wrecking ball, but Nigel Farage isn’t interested in the dirty work. The word bluster could have been coined for him; he is a bluffer to the core. He would rather sign a contract than swing a hammer, and only an idiot negotiates with a dictatorship. The one excuse for the Reform party’s existence is to rip the woke heart out of Westminster and put Britain’s national suicide-program into reverse. If Tommy Robinson isn’t good enough for the Reform party then Reform isn’t good enough for Britain. If Musk can see that from a thousand miles away, anyone can. Let me spell it out a real, Robinsonian manifesto for you, Nigel, before you start reprinting Tony Blair’s.

  1. An immediate and complete halt to all legal immigration until further notice.
  2. Enforce our national border. An immediate and complete halt to the cross-channel taxi service that enables the illegal migrant invasion of our coast. If they drown, they drown by their own choice; europe is not a war zone. The EU accepted these economic chancers in, let the EU supply their hotels, hospitals and free money.
  3. Arrest all illegal migrants who arrive on British beaches, put them on government-run cross-channel ferries (dozens of ideal, purpose-built vessels are available to be commandeered by government decree) and return them to Calais in handcuffs. What are the French going to do -declare war?
  4. Mass deportation and repatriation of violent foreign criminals and their families beginning immediately. Declare a state of emergency and reject every last part of the ‘Human Rights’ racket that magically ‘supercedes’ our own laws. Britain is an independent nation state. Deport all immigrants -legal and illegal- convicted of violent crimes. No exceptions; no excuses. Britain is a small island; there is no room for rapists; kick them out.

“But, but, but…” say Nigel & co. “…muh Hooman Rights Act…muh international obligations… muh practical difficulties…”

Nigel Farage will never, ever announce the above agenda -the only manifesto that can save Britain – because he has absolutely no intention of reversing the migrant invasion. On this make-or-break issue the Man of the People is already back-pedalling so fast his pin-striped arse is on fire. From the very first day after his election as a Right Honourable (don’t laugh) Member of Parliament, he has been spinning like a top. Asked on camera if he would, given the power, pursue mass-deportation he waffles that the situation is already too dire for such a solution. Among the many other ‘insurmountable problems’ Nigel foresees that mass deportations would alienate the existing muslim community. Ye gods. ‘Sorry chaps’, Mr Brexit is effectively saying, ‘we can’t go rocking the diversity boat.’ How far left will Farage go before Reform party supporters wake up and smell the globalism?

Let me jog readers’ memories with a quick trip down memory lane to December 4th 2018 — a mere seven years ago, when the glow of Brexit was still warm enough to let us dream of better days ahead…  read Nigel Farage quits Ukip over its anti-Muslim ‘fixation’.

Nigel, you my be assured, had recieved the memo direct from number 10. You’ve had your five minutes, pal, now get back in your lane. How quickly the public forgets the leap from one vine to the next in the Westminster jungle. History repeats, however, and here it comes again.

WINNING THE PHONEY WAR

Every single day Reform’s eager-beaver cheerleaders on Youtube shriek from the digital front-lines of delusional battles they never fail to win, slaughtering woke dragons with deadly block capital letters: FARAGE DESTROYS STARMER! NIGEL GOES NUCLEAR ON TWO TIER KIER! NEW REFORM POLL SAYS LABOUR ARE FINISHED! While this phony war rages in bloodless, empty cyberspace, with each passing day Nigel Farage looks, sounds and acts more like a Labour Party MP circa 1997. You won’t catch Nigel on BBC Question Time saying ‘Pakistani muslim pedophiles’ or ‘immigrant child-rapists’. Nigel says ‘grooming gangs‘ just like they tell you to in the Uniparty Book of Wokespeak. When the odious, repulsive snake that is Kier Starmer esses its way across the House of Commons floor for a word in Nigel’s ear, does Mr Brexit glare in open loathing? No, a sweaty palm lands a pat on the back and ho ho ho let’s face it we’re all in this club together and -oh look, we’re wearing the same colour tie ha ha ha see you next week.

Fun fact: if it looks like a duck, moves like a duck, quacks like a duck, eats and drinks like duck, chances are it’s a duck.

Even if you persist in believing there is an honest patriotic bone left in Farage’s body, you cannot fail to see that he remains in love with the pseudo-democratic puppet-theatre that has already sold Britain to the highest bidder in the global marketplace. He is drunk on the scent of power, and in Westminster the bars never close.

Nigel Farage and his supposed opponent are two sides of the same coin. With his back to the wall Kier Starmer stated on the record that he prefers Davos and the WEF over Britain’s House of Commons. By the same token, at the faintest whiff of a threat to his precious career Farage invariably puts the wishes of the British establishment before the wishes of the British people.

The acid test came when Farage was invited into Starmer’s magic circle of forbidden knowledge regarding the blanket of secrecy imposed after the brutal Southport massacre of innocent schoolgirls in July. After a ‘private briefing’ with Good Queen Starmer, Farage puffed out his pigeon-chest and muttered darkly about possessing secrets he was sworn not to reveal -so full of his own self-importance he failed to realise the entire public were willing -begging him- to speak out and tell us what we should know by right. The insider truth about the betrayal of this country belongs to us, not some foul theatrical troupe of pretend politicians. It is 100 percent our business when innocent British children are butchered in the kind of imported third-world killing frenzy enabled by 25 years of corrupt government. But Farage merely postured, grumbled and kept his lips sealed like the good little uniparty apparatchik he always longed to be.

In that moment he missed the chance of a lifetime. If he had ignored Starmer’s gag order and opened the can of Southport worms right there and then, the aftermath would likely have brought down the Labour government and triggered a general election. Yes, there would have been chaos. Yes there would have been riots and nasty words and various other unpleasant things that must happen in order to end a reign of terror. But that is the state in which millions of ordinary British people now live. Dire straits require dramatic actions.

The chaos would have passed and in the aftermath election Reform could only have triumphed, backed with all the righteous anger of a nation finally given the chance to confront the traitorous nature of its fake leaders. In August of 2024 the British public was already at boiling point; dragged to the brink of explosion by the most monstrous governmental cover-up this century -and Farage bottled it.

He chose instead to endorse the Uniparty’s code of collective silence, and joined their ‘not in front of the children‘ club. When he should have screamed from the rooftops and bellowed in rage, Farage held his tongue. I was not one bit surprised that in the weeks that followed he was repeatedly spotted joking and joshing with Starmer in the House of Commons. To Farage, protecting the rotten parliamentary system was what mattered -even in its current degraded incarnation as the local branch of the WEF. Politics, alas, is Nigel’s sole talent, and he subscribes to that repulsive elite mantra that the institution is more important than the people.

Screw that for a game of soldiers. We’re not having some abstract debate here, we are facing the obliteration of Britain as a unique nation state. For 25 years we have endured stealth colonisation from the third world, engineered by the traitors we were duped into electing. Now nobody wants to confront the hideous but inevitable consequences – like the mass-rape of thousands of innocent children. This is not a hypothetical argument -it’s a literal hands-on fight for survival.

Never forget that it was Tommy Robinson who identified the prime enemy of Britain -and indeed the civilised west- as fanatical Islamism. The truth of this is so far beyond argument it beggars belief that anyone can disagree with a straight face. In the years since Robinson’s first prescient warnings, crazed Islamist jihadis have massacred men, women and children in public in London, Paris, Madrid and all across Germany. On the very first day of 2025 a deranged maniac brought the curse of car-murder to the streets of New Orleans, adding the USA to the jihadi moto-murder club.

There is no upper limit to our anger for this kind of atrocity, hence the eruption of outrage at the state-sponsored protective circle erected around the animalistic immigrant gangs who have been abusing British children seemingly at will for decades. Many -far too many- of these human scum are now free and running thriving businesses in the UK. Every sane human left in the country knows these monsters should have been caged and repatriated to the shit-strewn hell-holes that spawned them. But as stated above, deportation is a bridge too far for nifty Nigel Farage, who curls up like a singed worm at the merest mention of the D word.

It was Tommy Robinson -and for years no-one else of note- who hammered on the doors of mass media demanding that the epidemic of Pakistani pedophile gang-rape in England be exposed and purged from our shores. In return he was slandered, attacked, and repeatedly imprisoned under evermore absurd pretences. The modern left’s very own Emmanuel Goldstein, the mere mention of his name would conjure psychotic visions of swastika parties in the addled minds of BBC-level TV viewers. Yet none of Robinson’s activities were ever ‘far right’ -until the insane neo-liberals moved so far to the extreme left that the term itself was rendered meaningless. It was Tommy’s bad luck to be born in an era when liberal extremism was being force-fed to a generation of idle slackers indoctrinated into sheepish compliance.

Tommy Robinson, you see, has zero appeal for the Guardian-reading antifashionistas who wept and wailed for their idolised middle-class info-warrior Julian Assange. A man from the wrong side of the liberal tracks, Tommy’s in-your-face on-the-spot reporting was too vulgar, too true, too bloody common for their taste. Yet too smart to swallow the multicultural lie that infinite mass-migration from jihadi hotbeds was a blessing and not a curse.

Oh how dearly Tommy’s enemies would have loved to print a single quote or fact that placed him on the wrong side of anything racial at all -but they never have or could because he never was. Invited to accept him into the Reform party fold Nigel Farage shudders, squawking “Criminal!” as if finding Hannibal Lecter lurking in his bathroom. Yes, Tommy Robinson has convictions on his CV but far less than most politicians would, if the police pursued their misdeeds with half the manic energy brought to bear on Luton’s favourite son. Ye gods, once you dig into the mountain of state-sponsored superbly-worded slanderspeak, Tommy Robinson’s major convictions were actually for:

(1) Winning a brawl with a drunk, off-duty police officer. (2) Exaggerating his income on a mortgage application (2) Reporting live from outside a gang-rape trial (3) Showing the public a documentary film exposing state lies and corruption, when ordered not to by a state-appointed judge.

Under examination, Robinson’s list of arrests is mainly a predictable catalogue of crafty fabrications and naked lawfare; precisely the tactics leveraged against Nigel Farage’s very own idol Donald Trump. Is Nigel unaware that in his home town of New York Trump was convicted for exaggerating his wealth in a loan application? Like Tommy did, Donald pointed out that the loan concerned had been repaid in full, and –like Tommy did-observed that the prosecution was farcical because there was no victim who could claim to have suffered. Trump, of course, won’t be going to jail. I do not, however, recall Farage howling “CRIMINAL!” after that particular courtroom verdict. It’s pretty obvious that from Nigel’s perspective Tommy Robinson is, alas, a few billion short of a Reform Party picnic.

Here’s a question some Reform party MP might usefully ask of the government. How many of the hundreds of Pakistani pedophile rapists have had their mortgage application forms scrutinised by forensic squads from Scotland Yard? How many bank loans for mosque-building have resulted in prison sentences for lies and ‘misrepresentations’ by self-appointed muslim ‘community’ leaders?

Crime, you see, is very much in the eye of the beholder. In police-state Britain, the law is only blind until it’s needed. When Sir Kier Starmer holed up in his rich gay chum’s penthouse during a covid Lockdown, that was just dandy. When the Prime Minister’s nose-in-the-trough antics were exposed, he quickly found a convenient bag of cash to square the deal, because he wasn’t ever lying or cheating, perish the thought. He had just ‘carelessly allowed the appearance of impropriety’ or somesuch wordy bullshit. Ah, the oily flow of English language as only a lawyer can spout it. Move on, peasant, nothing to prosecute here.

All Tommy Robinson’s long sojourns in prison have been spent in the psychological torture of solitary confinement -to prevent his murder at the hands of Islamist prison-gangs- although he has no convictions for any racial offence whatsoever. Robinson has never broken any of Britains kaleidoscopic range of anti-racism laws because -unlike the thousands who would cheerfully see him killed- there is not a racist bone in his body. A punch-up, naughty form-filling and journalism? This is Britain’s arch super-villain?

Many erstwhile Reform fans have boggled at the stomach-churning spectacle of Nigel Farage pretending he somehow exists on an elevated plane that is morally and politically beyond Robinson’s reach. In reality, Farage has built his career by pulling rhetorical rabbits out of Tommy’s hat and waving them for the cameras. While talking one hell of a fight, when push comes to shove and the establishment rattles his cardboard cage, Nigel quietly tiptoes to the sidelines to await new orders from above.

Dazzled by the prospect of a term in the (all but meaningless) hot seat of Downing Street, Farage hears only the siren voices of the deep-state whores reminding him that Prime Ministership is a reward reserved for those who appreciate how the machine works, and will gladly swallow bitter pills to taste that sweet wine of celebrity.

THE BREXIT THAT NEVER WAS

Farage has been dining out on the Brexit referendum victory for 9 years now, and nobody would deny that he stood at the tip of that spear, or begrudge him his moment of glory. However, desperate to shore up his own legacy, for nearly a decade Nigel has studiously avoided admitting that in the aftermath Brexit never actually happened. He is far from blameless in that debacle, as he repeatedly traded and connived with the Tories, who moved mountains to create an emasculated post-Brexit ‘deal’ that should never have been permitted. The entire EU facade could and should have been swept from the national books within a fortnight; instead the Tories -abetted by Farage- contrived to disguise the grim truth that nothing of substance was ever changed.

A long time ago a shrewd wag quipped that politics is showbusiness for ugly people and so it is that Nigel thinks the spotlight is his for the taking. But it’s a trap. Unless he embraces Tommy Robinson as the co-architect of his new right-wing consensus, Farage will never carry the people with him into power. Instead he will, nodding and winking to his uniparty colleagues, accept the command to ditch the plebs at door of number 10. He will then, as pre-ordained, recieve his instructions, be assimilated into the parliamentary Borg and swiftly chewed to pieces in its jaws. Nigel Farage will always trade off integrity for attention, fall into the welcoming arms of the fake Conservatives he secretly adores and ultimately submit to the process of Britain’s descent into third-world status.

Another day, another scratch on the brick wall of a cell. Tommy Robinson puts yet another line through 24 hours alone on a hard bunk in a locked room. Somewhere in London, confronting himself in a mirror, the Right Honourable Nigel Farage adjusts his tie and fastens his cuff links. A driver is waiting downstairs to take him to the TV studio where he will -after a quick trip to the make-up room- explain to the public how awful things are, and why he and he alone can be trusted to put things right.

So here’s to you, Tommy Robinson, Nigel hates you more than you will know, go go go! Get on your knees Tommy Robinson, Wandsworth has a cell for thugs like you -oo oo oo, yes they do…

An Open Message to President Trump from a Conservative Venezuelan thumbnail

An Open Message to President Trump from a Conservative Venezuelan

/in , , , , /by

By Editorial Board – DrRichSwier.com

Dear President-elect Trump,

My name is Karina Ross a legal permanent resident of the United States from Venezuela living with my military veteran and patriot husband, a highly decorated Navy Senior Chief Geoff Ross, US Navy retired.

My message to President Trump is simple and also very important in my humble opinion. First congratulations on your third win to the White House in the constitutional republic of the United States.

Second, my degree is in tax accounting earned with struggle, sweat equity and hard work when I lived in Caracas Venezuela. I am very intelligent and I bring exemplary skills to my new country the USA.

My political position is conservative and anti Communist which resulted in my protective status of asylum in the Republic of Colombia from 2017 until 2024 which is when I legally entered the USA and relocated to Florida.

President Trump has a superior Intellect and is a great leader of people as indicated by his recent landslide election. We respect him immensely. He took a bullet for the American people.

He has chosen excellent cabinet members like Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) whom my husband likes very much and who helped him significantly over the years (politically).

Third, I agree that Greenland and the Panama Canal built with US tax dollars and sweat for the US military is critical to the national security of the United States.

I (we) my husband and I ask that you do not forget Venezuela President Trump which is a nation filled with people that despise Communism and despise Maduro the former taxi driver installed into the Presidency by massive corruption and fraud.

Venezuela is a nation of millions of conservative patriots that were displaced all over South America to countries like Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Argentina and the United States by Maduro and his cartels.

Maduro also has recently arrested Americans visiting family members in Venezuela and Colombians and family members of the elected and honorable President of Venezuela Edmundo Gonzàlez.

Fourthly, in my view Venezuela must be a priority besides Greenland and Panama with a directive to remove Nicolàs Maduro from office with all economic political and or military means necessary.

“Maduro is the greatest threat to freedom in the America’s.”

Removing Maduro will secure South America from the Communist Chinese influence in Venezuela, it will block the cartels using Venezuela as free passage for drug and human trafficking and it will restore normal relations with the United States.

My former country is an economic power house waiting to reconnect and share its prosperity with the people of the United States with President Trump’s help. Millions of Venezuelans just want to return home but cannot.

Maduro is weak and has zero political support in South and Central America other than perhaps Nicaragua. He will run and hide and perhaps relocate to Moscow with Assad. Maximize the publicity in Venezuela with the bounty on Maduro’s head.

The Venezuelan military will overthrow this tyrannical dictator if they are given protective status from US prosecution and can collect the reward money. Also – It just takes a strong push from the Trump administration and US Congress.

President Trump, Vice President Vance and Elon Musk should meet the real and constitutionally elected President of Venezuela the honorable Edmundo Gonzàlez and discuss the way forward. Give him an opportunity to address the Congress also.

My mother and sister still live in Venezuela but my 5 brothers and all my nephews and nieces live in Colombia and Brazil. Give them back their country Mr. President Trump. You can do it.

As for myself I am grateful for my husband and the security arm of protection he put around me for over three years. I am working, hard here in Florida, I am paying taxes and look forward enjoying the rest of my life in the great state of Florida with my husband. God Bless the United States.

Powerful Explosive Video Exposé on The Trial of Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus thumbnail

Powerful Explosive Video Exposé on The Trial of Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus

/in , , , , , /by

By Vlad Tepes Blog

We focus on the Helen Grus hearings because it is one of the clearest and most accurately recorded examples of how a once civilized process of determining truth in order to set the correct outcome based on rule of law and Western values has become a dialectical process of ritual destruction of anyone who’s work or statements threaten state narratives.

The case against Helen Grus was in fact dialectical from day 1. The charge in a Republic style nation would never have been made, because no crime was committed, or even breach of procedure. The process itself violated a large number of fundamentals in terms of how an objective process to find facts takes place.

Illegal means were used by the state and state enforcers to gather incriminating evidence, which was not found in any case.

This is an important issue, and speaks to the nature of the machinery of state as it is today, as opposed to how it was, or was designed to be. Please watch this video below, and check out the detailed description at RAIR.

The RAIR link also has a link to the history of these hearings for those who want more detail.

VIDEO: Run Toward the Battle thumbnail

VIDEO: Run Toward the Battle

/in , , , /by

By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D.

The below video takes you to my speaking before an audience of approximately 750 people at the Faith, Freedom and Fight gathering on May 22nd, 2021. I know, I know…almost four years ago. What!? I am sending this because I want you to hear two things that are as genuine today as on that day I spoke. I read a letter given to President Trump from a very well-known individual, and as I said to the audience, you will know this person once I mention the name. The second item is critical for this day and time as when I spoke then, and maybe even more timely.

We came through a massive and intense campaign bringing Donald Trump back into a position he should have never been removed from initially. Americans rallied all across the land to put America First and to send an unmistakable message that Marxism and American principles do NOT coexist and are not compatible no matter how Marxists paint them. Americans from coast-to-coast, of every stripe, social strata and community came together and shouted, “ENOUGH!” The shouting continued letting it be known to friend and foe alike, Americans want this exceptional (not perfect, there is a difference) nation to return to the foundational principles and values given to us by our Forefathers. We have had enough of the lies from those in various elected positions of trust, locally as well as state and national offices; destruction of our constitution privileges; the destruction of our economy; the destruction of neighborhoods and cities; enough of the destruction of our children’s future in school; enough of the United States of America being relegated to a much lower standing in the world than we could have ever imagined. Donald Trump stood as a light on a hill calling us back to stand with him and Make America Great Again!

The deeply entrenched Marxist globalists and establishment acolytes in both political parties only dug in deeper. They became and are continuing to become more viciously committed to stop MAGA and Trump at all costs, without regard for our constitution and founding principles. Only their agenda to stop Trump and all he represents matters to them.

Donald J. Trump is not without flaws. I strongly believe, and wrote three days prior to the 2016 Election, that I believed the Lord raised this man up, much like Cyrus in the Old Testament (Isaiah 45:1-8), to give America a chance to turn from the direction we were quickly heading. I believe the same is still true. His role is not to save humanity but to act as a catalyst and to bring hidden truths to the surface. These hidden truths are many, they are deeply buried, and the darkness surrounding them and those who buried them shall become known in the light of the day. Herein is a dimension to the struggle America shall face. It’s thru trials that strength is tested. Trials are here with more sobering ones just around the corner. America was founded on Godly principles, and we shall, in part through Trump’s return to office, have the opportunity to recapture those principles if we so choose. I pray WE THE PEOPLE will so choose. That we turn from our personally chosen ways, humble ourselves and submit (cooperate) with the plans God has for us, individually and as a nation.

If we choose to do as I just penned, then I pray we run toward the battle that is coming.
