THE TARIFF WEALTH-TRANSFER SCAM

      This weekend the Controlled Opposition was fawning over the imposition of further tariffs, this time against European auto-makers. The Billionaire Class, who've outsourced our entire industrial base celebrated the move, with the usual cadre of paid pundits posing as economic experts squawking like a bunch of Liberals about how unfair our trade policies are. It's the usual bait-and-switch as far as the rhetoric goes: sell out to Globalist enterprises then play the Victim Card and blame everyone else.

    The True Believers swallow all of this; and in true Alpha facts-don't-care-about-your-feelings fashion, the White House issued a statement to the effect that they don't care if already over-inflated auto prices go up; it will force us all to buy American. Let's see if we can sort this out a bit further: first, let's examine the purpose of Protectionist Trade Policies.

    Protectionism and Tariffs are only economically viable policy when countries produce a surplus of certain goods for export. If, for example, a country is producing more cars than it can sell domestically, it makes sense to restrict imports that would undermine an industry that's bringing in revenue by selling abroad. We used to do that in the US when we still manufactured automobiles in a major way. There was a huge backlash in the 1970s when we lifted import quotas against Japanese vehicles---in fact, that was the beginning of the end for our auto industry. The Midwestern Rust Belt is a testimony to Neocon economics to this very day.

    If, on the other hand, we have an economy like we have where a few interlocking Boards of Directors dominating the economic landscape, then it follows that Protectionist policies will only strengthen their monopolistic control over it. Forget all of this baloney about bringing back American manufacturing by limiting consumer choices. An industrial base like we had until just a few decades ago will take years to rebuild. The True Believers have hoodwinked themselves into imagining that an industrial infrastructure magically will appear by the miracle of the Free Market when there is no infrastructure left to build upon. So, with Tariffs, the Corporations which have a foothold here will have a captive market. 

   Let's see if we can think of an example of someone who's built just such a market and will benefit from restricting imports. Someone, for example, who donated to Democrat politicians to get factories built and legislation passed to phase out his competitors, and exemptions from sanctions. Who might an example of such a character be?

    Yes, Tesla certainly would benefit from such restrictions. In the Blue States that Musk donated to for years, legislation has already been passed to phase out gas-powered vehicles. The whole 'Green Energy' approach wasn't popular with Republicans, but...if Musk's electric vehicles are the only affordable options, oh well. Buy American actually translates to Buy Tesla and naturally the True Believers will get over their objections and embrace the New Normal. 

   What about the agricultural tariffs? Well, we saw during the Scamdemic how a certain interested billionaire and his confederates began sweeping up American farmland and imposing synthetic products into the food chain. People weren't buying them, but now we'll be forced to buy American again, meaning that the synthetics will be affordable and natural foodstuffs will not. Who might benefit from that?

    Yes, our old pal, Willy Gates, who held a productive meeting with Trump the day before his inauguration, and whose henchman, Doug Burgum now heads the Department of the Interior. Like Musk, Gates benefitted enormously under the Biden/Harris Junta by promoting 'Green Energy' and fake 'alternative' foods: all subsidized by US taxpayers.

    In other words, the Tariff schemes are nothing but a scam, designed to exacerbate and complete the wealth-transfers begun under the Scamdemic and promoted by Biden and the Republican-controlled Congress during the last four years. The same Billionaire Class running one Government is running the other; all of which is leading up to the Great Reset. Until we stop pretending that the Political Class is anything but a Uniparty operating in the interests of these billionaires, we'll go on to a world of smart cars and synthetic foods by 2030, just as Klaus Schwab and his merry-men desire. 

 

STAND WITH DENMARK

       So, much to the delight of the Alpha Red-Pills, Christian Nationalists, and Neo-Nazis making up the activist wing of the New Right, their collective avatar JD Vance marched on Greenland this week. Vance and his entourage weren't invited by the Danish Government (which has control over the island) and limited their tour de force to the remaining US military base there. Under the terms of a 1951 treaty, the Pentagon doesn't even pay Denmark for the use of these bases, but things like gratitude and cooperation are anathema to the Alpha mindset. Vance, as he did at the White House meeting with Zelensky, the Munich Security Conference, and his recent controversy with Pope Francis, made a complete fool of himself---cursing and insulting the Danish people.

    Neither the people of Greenland nor Denmark desire life under the New World Order jackboot, and the Danish Government was firm in its response to these outrages. Danish citizens are boycotting American goods, there's talk of breaking diplomatic relations and even war, all of which has caused the Alpha Supermen to double-down.

    "The bond between the US and Greenland was forged through blood and bravery." The White House proclaimed, then added in eerily cultish language that: "Our shared legacy is not just history, it is destiny!" 

    Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen condemned Trump’s recent remarks as escalatory and disrespectful. "Trump’s rhetoric is becoming increasingly aggressive and amounts to a hidden threat against Denmark.They are going too far – both in interfering in Greenland’s internal affairs and in showing a lack of respect for its people’s right to decide their future.These very powerful statements about a close ally do not suit the US president."

        The Danes show no sign of backing down in the face of the International Bully, though militarily Denmark is at a disadvantage. Not that the Danish soldier isn't more than a match for our brave xhes in uniform, but the country is logistically heavily outnumbered and out-equipped. Greenland itself is very sparsely populated and mostly glacial, which is a poor environment in which to mount any kind of resistance. The Administration does have a small contingent of Fifth-Columnists in Greenland, led by the very sorts of people one would expect to be admirers of the likes of JD Vance. 

      A good part of this whole Greenland spectacle is to play up to the online Alphas and other fanatics who revel in pointless displays of dominance, and who find it good sport to own the Euros just like they own the Libtards. There is no gain whatsoever in taking over Greenland and humiliating Denmark, so what is the real purpose here?

     The fact is that Greenland is a natural repository of still undeveloped mineral wealth. There are also large oil fields which have not been opened as well as Arctic resources coveted by Wall Street Special Interests. It's no accident that Vance was accompanied by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a billionaire CEO of major oil and mineral concerns, and closely connected with Globalist cartels in these fields. This is part of an overall strategy by the Robber Barons to seize valuable resources, and led to Vance's confrontation with Zelensky over the same attempt to steal Ukraine's. 

    We must stand with Denmark in opposing this usurpation. The US Military was never intended to be the pirates and paid enforcers of Corporate interests. 

     

CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY VS. TRUSTING THE PLAN

       During the 2024 Campaign, many of us raised the question about what the New Right actually intended to do once they'd disposed of the hated Biden/Harris Junta. Mostly we were told, in essence, to shut up and trust the plan even though they were short on details of what the 'plan' was. What many of us feared is now becoming apparent: the only plan that the New Right had was taking control and farming out governmental functions to their Corporate cronies (because that worked out so well with Bush).

      This lack of any planning or foresight has become painfully apparent in addressing the crisis in American Public Education. Naturally, many Trump supporters probably assumed that the incoming Secretary of Education would be someone who had a long history of battling Trash Culture and standing tall for the values that America was built upon. Unfortunately, that isn't what we got.

    As we pointed out in our last post, Linda McMahon's only plan for American Public Education is to retain the Department's collection enforcement under the Student Loan scam and to enforce Neocon Political Correctness over the Democrat version. The rest gets dumped onto State Governments, NGOs, shady religious organizations, for-profit educational factories or whoever else wants to deal with it with little to no oversight. 

    Nobody, of course, bothered to think about Linda McMahon's qualifications to do much of anything related to Education. To the Republican Party, her multi-billion dollar bank account was only qualification needed, and to the True Believers, the fact that she wasn't a Democrat was all that mattered. 

    Likewise, nobody among the True Believers bothered to think about whether or not there were better and more productive ways to reform our broken schools. Acting first and thinking later is standard operating procedure for Americans these days; taking a chainsaw approach and hoping for the best is a lot easier than trying to think through a situation and come up with ideas that might actually work.

     Just when we all thought that sterling characters like Ryan Walters and upstanding institutions like PragerU were poised to lead our schools back into a Golden Age, a disturbing story reaches us from New Mexico:

     "A teacher has been arrested for alleged sexual abuse against children while inside of a classroom. According to New Mexico State Police, agents were told about alleged incidents of criminal sexual contact by Devin Henderson at Mountain View Christian Academy in Ruidoso. State police say agents began investigating in 2024 and learned eight children 10 years old and younger reported Henderson inappropriately touched them on more than one occasion while attending a computer class. State police learned during forensic interviews with the children that Henderson would show them explicit photos of himself on his cell phone...

  "Henderson has been charged with the following: Sexual exploitation of children (22 counts); Enticement of a child (7 counts); Criminal sexual contact of a minor (7 counts); Sexually oriented material harmful to minors (3 counts); Indecent exposure (1 count)."

      Oops! I wonder if the families of the victims involved get a tuition refund for any of this? Now that Musk and Bessent effectively have eliminated Consumer Protection Agencies, we suppose not.

      Mountain View Christian Academy bills itself as "partnering with parents in the education of their children since 1992. With a solid Biblical Foundation and a Christ-centered approach to education, your children will graduate from MVCA with a clear idea of what the Christian World View is, and how to live lives of integrity in their homes and in their communities." The School is accredited both in New Mexico and neighboring Texas; and we can see how well those States fare in managing Public Education. 

     The case of MVCA underscores again that simply transferring responsibility for education from one top-down establishment with feel-good slogans to another isn't going to solve anything. Americans need to start facing this problem squarely and stop latching onto every promised panacea. The US currently ranks 31st overall in educational standards worldwide. A good start might be observing what the 30 countries ahead of us are doing right. 

       

       

TEMPESTS IN THE ACADEMIC TEAPOT

        So, with much fanfare from the Controlled Opposition last Friday, President Trump's handlers had him sign another Executive Order 'dismantling' the US Department of Education. Given the disastrous state of American Education, this is probably not going to make much difference: the Department has been captured by various interest-groups ever since it was spun off from the now-defunct Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in the late 1970s. 

      As someone who has been active (although admittedly not recently) in school-choice and academic reform movements, one thing that has become clear is that the problem with our schools at all levels has little to do with Government. In other civilized nations which have functional school systems, education is seen as an investment in the national future. Typically, students are educated in the basics through Middle School, then they're given aptitude tests. Those who finish at the top go on to University prep, the middle group qualify for vocational school, and the lower group typically go to the labor force, often as an apprentice in a unionized job. Most therefore are prepared for life as a contributing member to a self-governing society.

     In the US, the situation is much different. What most American parents actually want is place to dump their kids all day before sending them off to a diploma-mill---the purpose of which is to train them in the arts of gaming the system, going-along-to-get-along, and making influential connections that will give them a place in the system. The 'future' for most of these people is next Saturday, so naturally they resent paying for any community investment in such things. 

    Thus, it's fitting that a 75-year old Hollywood entertainment promoter heads the US Department of Education, and will oversee this move that supposedly will 'empower parents' which, of course, is boilerplate rhetoric because most Americans don't care one way or the other about our schools and, in actual fact, holds professional educators in utter contempt. 

       Academic activism isn't going away, of course. The Department of Education will still be around to enforce the New Right's versions of Political Correctness: clamping down things like protests or educators too critical of the New World Order. The Student Loan/Pell Grant scams will continue, although the intention is to move those functions to the Small Business Administration. That agency is currently headed by former Senator Kelly Loeffler, whose domestic partner is the CEO of the New York Stock Exchange: so no doubt student debt will be enforced rigidly and the big banks will get returns on their investments even if society doesn't. 

      The White House spokesxhes assure us that educational policy should be left 'up to the states;' which will work out just as well as turning other social issues to the States has. Surely, we can trust Governors like Bob Ferguson, Gretchen Whitmer, Tim Walz, Gavin Newsom, etc. will run their schools much better now. Lest any True Believers want to roll their eyes and say that they don't care about 'Blue States' consider some of the morons running schools in Neocon-dominated States.

     The move likewise will empower NGOs to spread their tentacles even deeper into the educational system than they already do. It will be a huge windfall for them, they can launder corporate profits through taxpayer-subsidized or tax-exempt 'nonprofits' which is really the purpose of all of this show-boating. Will the changes at the Department of Education make a bad situation worse? Probably. Will Americans care? Probably not. Schools have been in decline for decades and nobody has cared yet. 

     The problem is not political, it is cultural. As long as Americans keep ignoring the problem and looking towards top-down solutions and political strongmen to take over their responsibilities, the situation will continue to deteriorate much to the delight and profit of the Financial Elite. 

 

    

    

     

CONSERVATIVES SILENT AS SOROS HENCHMAN RUNS AMOK

       Following yesterday's flurry of Judicial rulings against Musk and his bandits attempting to turn the Federal Government over to Wall Street, the reaction from the True Believers has been predictable: calling for the impeachment of judges, stacking the Courts, ignoring the Rule of Law, etc. True to form, they somehow want to believe that opposing the will of the Neocon Administration is tantamount to treason, all of which is bringing back bad memories of the slavish Bush-worship that we saw 20 years ago.

      One of the strangest forms of Cognitive Dissonance, however, comes from the Musk toadies who seriously imagine that globalist plutocrats who were supporting Democrats until only a few months ago are working in the best interests of the American people. Even stranger is this belief that the so-called 'Private Sector' is less intrusive, less authoritarian, and more respective of popular rights than the Public Sector. How anybody who's had much experience with middle mangers, customer-service departments, HR departments, or even typical landlords can still believe that is truly mind-boggling. These people work for Upper-Level Management who see employees and customers as livestock; and their courtiers treat us accordingly. 

    Take for example, the former COO of George Soros' hedgefunds, Scott Bessent. 

        Bessent, the highest-ranking openly gay official to hold US public office was appointed Secretary of the Treasury by what the Churchian media lickspittles refer to as the most pro-life and pro-family Administration in history. Bessent served his master Soros admirably during the 30+ years that he was connected with him (until last November, in fact). He continues to do so to this very day: pulling off some spectacular financial crimes rivalling even his globalist crony, Musk.

      In the less than two months that Bessent has headed the Treasury Department, he's managed to purge the Federal Consumer Financial Bureau and open access to Treasury Department records to be data-mined and downloaded by Big Tech into the Stargate Project. He likewise succeeded in persuading our figurehead president into signing an Executive Order no longer enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Bessent, likewise, to the applause of his WEF bosses, is pushing a nominally 'privatized' system of Central Bank Digital Currency.

    To crown all of his crimes, this week Bessent announced that the US Treasury Department will no longer enforce laws prohibiting High Finance to set up shell companies as money-laundering operations. Soros in particular has found this law a constant thorn in his side; 'philanthropist' Oligarchs set up NGOs for this very purpose. The FDIC, which insures deposits against bank failures, is also on Bessent's bucket-list of regulators to scrap, though it's probably not off the table that the banks will get bailed out, even if depositors don't. 

    Lest any of the True Believers still want to argue that "Oh well, I got mine. At least taxes will be lower," rest assured that none of this deregulation is going to benefit you. While IRS enforcers are still going to be wringing every last dime from us of the Common Herd, Bessent also announced this week that Taxpayer Advocate Services and other agencies to appeal the IRS decisions would be among those most severely curtailed.

     Is everybody tired of winning yet? It doesn't look like George Soros or the rest of the Globalist Banking Establishment is. Just go on believing though that we shouldn't ask questions and that we simply need to trust the plan. Convince yourselves that this is all 3-D chess level strategy moves. Better still, just write it off as fake news and go back to laughing at Liberals online. Bessent and his cronies are laughing too: all the way to the bank.

THE DOGE SCAM FINALLY IS QUESTIONED

       Today, US District Court Judge Theodore Chuang effectively eviscerated WEF Young Global Leader Elon Musk's unilateral purges of the US Federal Government. The case reinstated USAID, a program signed into law by President Kennedy in 1961. Judge Chuang's Order requires the Administration to restore email and computer access to all employees of USAID, including those put on administrative leave. Musk's actions "likely harmed the public interest by depriving elected lawmakers of their constitutional authority to decide whether, when and how to close down an agency created by Congress,” he stated. “If a president could escape Appointments Clause scrutiny by having advisors go beyond the traditional role of White House advisers who communicate the president’s priorities to agency heads and instead exercise significant authority throughout the federal government so as to bypass duly appointed officers, the Appointments Clause would be reduced to nothing more than a technical formality,” the judge wrote.

     Tuesday’s injunction only concerns USAID. But the judge took note of Musk’s similar efforts across the federal bureaucracy. “This record must be considered alongside the fact that Musk appears to have been involved in the shutdown of CFPB headquarters as well, and the evidence that shows or strongly suggests that Musk and DOGE, despite their allegedly advisory roles, have taken other unilateral actions without any apparent authorization from agency officials,” Chuang said. 

     It's about time that somebody started questioning Musk's activities. In USAID's case, for example, we could ask why Musk went out of his way to target an agency that was investigating grants that he himself had received from them; or several of the other fired officials examining Musk's shady activities. It also is a valid question of how Musk amassed so much evidence of waste, fraud, and abuse in the entire Federal Government in just under sixty days, when previous independent audits of single agencies typically take months. Which, in its turn, brings up the larger question of who really is in charge of this Administration. 

      While we're all well aware that significant waste and corruption exists in the Federal Government, how do we know that Musk's claims are actually true? We don't really have any more than his word for it. Unlike previous auditors, Musk hasn't gone before Congress and presented this evidence that he supposedly has. 

     Likewise, we know very little about who any of the people working for DOGE actually are. Have they passed background checks? Do they have security clearances? Do they have any experience auditing anybody? Musk has been suspiciously quiet about telling us any of this: in fact, he's threatened media outlets that have looked into it.

     On that same subject, what accounting and auditing methods is Musk employing? "Government auditing is conducted under strict legal frameworks to ensure impartiality and accountability. The individuals carrying them out must be certified, bound by ethical codes, and accountable to the public—swearing an oath, passing exams," one report noted. We have no evidence that DOGE's methods are in accordance with any of this. 

     Conservatism is supposed to be about upholding the Constitutional Rule of Law: turning the Federal Government over to the arbitrary will of a single unaccountable despot is what the Founders of our Republic rebelled against. President Trump has (so far) abided by or legally appealled adverse rulings, but the authoritarians surrounding him don't seem capable of exercising the same degree of restraint. Following Monday's ruling against the illegal deportation of immigrants, fanatics in Congress immediately sought impeachment hearings against the federal judge. Neo-Nazi White House Deputy Chief-of-Staff Stephen Miller roared, "A district court judge has no authority to direct the national security operations of the executive branch!" Peter Thiel's henchman, JD Vance has long been an outspoken critic of the Judicial Branch exercising even minimal controls over the Presidency.

    It is evident from such statements that, despite its pretensions, the Republican Party no longer is at its core a Conservative party. We must face it for what it is: the reactionary version of the postmodern Left; in other words, Neoconservatism. They are leading us to the same disasters that previous Bush-Era Neocons did, and are governed by the same philosophy of an Imperial Executive working in the interests of the Globalist Corporate Elite.

     

WOKE CANCEL CULTURE, NEOCON STYLE

      So, let us all imagine what the reaction of the so-called American Right would have been had Kamala Harris been elected and one of her first orders of business was installing a Hollywood billionaire media mogul at the Department of Education who, in turn, made it her first order of business to enforce rigid Cancel Culture, purge anyone who opposed the Democratic Party, and crushed protests in the interest of identity politics. Good thing that we got rid of the Democrats so that didn't happen right?

     We're speaking of course of the case of Mohammed Khalil, a naturalized US citizen, who was seized by ICE stormtroopers in New York this week and whisked away incommunicado to a Concentration Camp in Louisiana to face banishment from the country which once gave him asylum. Khalil had been targeted by Neo-Nazis like Tom Homan who heads ICE, and who vowed that this injustice "would be the first of many," citing Khalil as an undesirable alien. In case anyone is interested, our friends at Kiwi Farms posted a comprehensive breakdown of the sorts of swine that the New Right considers desirable immigrants, which speaks volumes about its character.

       Of course, many of the True Believers aren't going to be bothered much by this, even though Khalil was a legal immigrant; nor are they going to think too much about the fact that the Administration's efforts to end Birthright Citizenship would mean that any of us could be declared an alien and stripped of what few Rights we still have left. They can always rationalize things (as they typically do) by convincing themselves that only a few Commie Libtards would be effected. 

    Well, unfortunately for their fantasies, this very week at least three Conservative Republican officials found themselves on the receiving end of excommunication for their lack of ideological purity and submission to Dear Leader. First on the list was long-time Republican Congressman---and one of the few principled Conservatives left in the Legislative Branch---Thomas Massie of Kentucky. 

     Massie, who has been one of the few to stand up to expanding the Surveillance State, and who famously exposed the massive foreign lobbying going on among his colleagues in the past, has become too much trouble for the Uniparty and its plans to create a Golden Age of Technocratic Corporatism. If anyone is shocked by this, it is not the first time that Conservatives have been targeted and threatened by the Party Bosses for insufficient loyalty. 

     Meanwhile, WEF Young Global Leader Tulsi Gabbard---who was a Democrat until just last September---engaged in some Cancel Culture of her own, swatting down the appointment of Daniel Davis for Deputy Director of National Intelligence. Davis---who probably is far more qualified than Tulsi is to head US Intel---criticized Zionist actions in Palestine. This is intolerable for a group which plans to build a billionaire-playground over the mass-graves of the Palestinians.

       Adam Boehler, the US negotiator for the Gaza Cease-fire was purged as well, after suggesting even tepidly that Hamas should be part of the negotiations. This goes decidedly against the grain of an Administration bent on proving its Alpha Superiority and which sees actual diplomacy and compromise as signs of weakness. This isn't surprising, considering that the organization which instigated Khalil's arrest is an advocate of Zionist Genocide, including the murder of children.

     Not surprisingly, Betar was formerly headed by a character jailed for revenge porn and other unscrupulous activities; but he is of the personality type which seems to fit in well with the current administration's leadership. It wouldn't surprise anybody if he's pardoned. 

     When one thinks about it, it's small wonder that we've so little resistance from the Democratic Party, and why so many of their ranks have switched sides. They're getting everything they wanted at no political risk (for now). The real enemies within are actual Conservatives who object to things like foreign influence peddling, depriving people of their Rights without due process, top-down authoritarian government, etc.
