WANT TO GIVE TO A WORTHY CAUSE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON?

        It isn't often that we find a worthy cause to donate to these days. However, one that readers might wish to consider is to help 42-year old Florida mother, Briana Boston by visiting her GoFundMe page. Donations were at around $62,000 as of this writing.

      

     In the wake of the assassination of the CEO of United Health Care last week, the ringleaders of the criminal cabals posing as American economic leadership have become understandably nervous. After decades of  carrying on"unchecked by constitutional restraints or ordinary human feeling, making sport of the lives and fortunes of men," the reality that some nameless, faceless individual can cancel them like they cancel others is giving them nightmares. 

    Since these Plutocrats own the Legal Establishment like they own everything else, they've mobilized their private armies (a.k.a. Law Enforcement agencies) to make examples of anybody who might not watch what they say in public. Briana Boston is (so far) the first such example. 

    Mrs. Boston had an argument on the telephone with an unusually paranoid 'Customer Service Representative' employed by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Group, a confederation of Insurance Cartels which would have ceased to exist long ago if our Government bothered enforcing Anti-Trust Laws and if BCBSG weren't pumping millions into Beltway lobbying efforts. Apparently, she referenced the assassination in New York during the argument: the BCBSG operative ran screaming to the police and within a few hours, Ron DeSantis' goon squads raided the Bostons' Lakeland, Florida home.

   “She’s been in this world long enough that she certainly should know better that you can’t make threats like that in the current environment that we live in and think that we’re not going to follow up and put you in jail,” snorted Lakeland Police Chief Sammy Taylor. Mrs. Boston has no criminal history and owns no firearms.

    Briana Boston is facing 15 years in prison and is currently being held on $100,000 bond thanks to the elastic legal procedures brought to us by George Bush, allegedly to 'fight terrorism.' According to the judge who set the bail, the high amount was “appropriate considering the status of our country at this point.”

    The status of our country, indeed. This is what decades of Speech Codes, Cancel Culture, and Political Correctness has brought us to. Fortunately (for now) we can push back. Visit Mrs. Boston's GoFundMe page this holiday season and do an innocent family a good turn. 

    

    

DRONING ON

      Every Winter, it seems lately, Americans have to go through some kind of National Panic Attack. In 2020 and 2021, we had the Scamdemic's beginning and resurgence. The next year, we had the whole Stand With Ukraine hysteria. In 2023, we had Chinese spy-balloons. At the beginning of this year, we had election dramatics, trying to keep Trump off the ballot and 'immigrant invasion' hysteria. As we go into 2025, the new panic centers on drones being sighted over the New Jersey Meadowlands.

     Drones are fairly common these days. Governments have them, businesses use them, and there is a lot of popularity with them among the public. However, like seasonal flu outbreaks, foreign conflicts, weather balloons, and immigrants sneaking across the border, somebody suddenly noticed them and a media firestorm broke out. 

    All of these Panic Attacks follow a predictable pattern. The public has a meltdown, and the Political Class grabs the chance to grab more publicity---and with it, more power. The Republicans are screaming that these drones "need to be shot out of the sky"  and are blaming them on Iran, while the Democrats are demanding further Government regulation to deal with the problem. This, in spite of the fact that both the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security state that "None of the reported UAV sightings have so far been corroborated with electronic detection. The reviews of available footage and photos have established that many of the reported drones were in fact manned aircraft, being operated legally."

     Naturally, though, when something generates both media and political capital, the default reaction is Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste. That is especially true when the 'crisis' is a wholly manufactured one. It's also unfortunately not a very difficult feat to accomplish in a culture where drugs have conditioned the public mind to be afraid of their own shadows and poor diets have impaired reasoning powers. 

   Mass-Paranoia is also a useful tool to distract the public when too much discussion starts about real issues. The recent shooting of the United Health Care CEO (in the same general vicinity of the drone sightings) had too many people complaining about our untouchable Overlords. The Police State has reacted there too: locking up a few potential criminals as examples against those who might have inappropriate thoughts against the Majesty of the Managerial Class. That too should be a topic of discussion, but since we have the Republicans largely to thank for these types of police over-reactions, our rulers would prefer us to panic over drones.

   

   

BEZOS ON BOARD AND ANOTHER NEW DEPARTMENT GETS CREATED

     So, joining other WEF linchpins Mark Zuckerberg and Marc Benioff, Jeff Bezos officially has come on board with Team Woke. Bezos expressed appreciation earlier for how the Conservative-Industrial Complex has evolved, telling the Deep-State news organ The New York Times that:"Trump has grown...I’m very hopeful—he seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation. And my point of view is, if I can help him do that, I’m going to help him, because we do have too much regulation in this country.”

   As if that weren't ominous enough, the Party Machine has apparently created a new Foreign Policy niche, the Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, and appointed Bush Cabal spook and flaming homosexual Richard Grenell to lead it. The job description sounds something like a Black-Budget clearinghouse, much like the equally illegally created Department of Government Efficiency intends to usurp the duties of Congress in budget appropriations. With George Soros' man in charge of the Treasury Department and a pack of Christian Nationalists heading the Office of Management and Budget, it should be smooth sailing for Bezos and his friends.

       It's also (or should be) noteworthy how so few 'Conservative' or 'Alternative' news sites have mentioned Zuckerberg's or Bezos' support. Likewise there has been almost no discussion about some of these otherwise controversial Administration choices---just like during the campaign nobody seemed concerned about the dozens of erstwhile Globalist billionaires, special interests, and Deep State Operatives holding influence with the Republican Party. 

    As the executive positions currently stand, we have an employee of WEF Oligarch Peter Thiel sitting in the Vice-President's Chair; a longtime top employee of George Soros heading the Treasury Department; and operative of Bill Gates at the Interior Department; and a former PAC bundler for Hillary Clinton heading the Department of Commerce; and a long-time executive at BlackRock is Deputy Secretary of State. WEF Oligarch Elon Musk is practically running the Administration right now, along with his shady Soros-connected sidekick Vivek Ramaswamy.

   Don't these things raise Red Flags for anybody? When Musk took over Twitter one of his first acts was appointing a top-level WEF bureaucrat to CEO. In fact, the Corporate Boards of all of Musk's enterprises are headed by creatures just like that. Yet, Musk is almost worshipped by the New Right as some champion of the average American.

   Again: why the silence? If any of the people just mentioned were appointed by Kamala Harris had she been elected, there would have been no end of discussion about it in the so-called 'Conservative' Media. If Kamala Harris had won and created these new departments to bypass Congressional oversight, it would be the headlines in all of the 'Conservative' news-feeds. Certainly, we would have heard about Zuckerberg and Bezos funding her Inaugural Gala. There would have been endless horror during the campaign if she had hosted homo fundraisers and weddings at her home. 

   There doesn't seem to be any level of treachery that the Republicans can stoop down to that even raises questions, let alone is a topic for discussion. Not only are these choices questionable, but the sheer willingness of 'woke' Oligarchs and Democrat leaders and Media pundits to fall in line with the New Order ought to be at least a little concerning.

   Even more worrisome is the growing suspicion that the Conservative Movement has become what it once opposed. Make America Great Again wasn't supposed to bring us back the years of George Bush; but that seems to be where we're going. 

   

   

   

WHITHER GOETH NEW YORK?

     This has been one of those weeks where things have happened faster than most of us can keep up with them. The new Operation Warp Speed is speeding us all into the Great Reset much faster than the lethargic Biden Government was doing. This week, the Republicans rounded out filling top posts: among them an operative of BlackRock as policy manager at the State Department. Mark Zuckerberg, one of the latest globalist oligarchs to join Team Woke, contributed a million into the Coronation Ceremonies in January; while WEF linchpin Marc Benioff dedicated an issue of his news outlet Time Magazine to celebrate the Trump Victory. Just four years ago, of course, Benioff dedicated an issue of Time to bragging about how he and Zuckerberg helped Biden 'win,' but these peccadilloes can be overlooked. 

     Trump went to Wall Street today to address the de facto US Government, and likely to still fears swelling among many of the Oligarchy after the assassination of the CEO of United Health Care. The Media has been clutching their bowties nervously because their usual sensationalism about such crimes hasn't had the desired effect. 

      It seems that the public, in this particular case, isn't expressing a great deal of sympathy for the slain CEO. The scum in the Corporate Mainstream Media variously have been trying to explain this phenomenon away by claiming either that such an outpouring of sentiment is "hate-filled extremism" (no doubt fomented by Russian or Chinese operatives) or as "frustration with our national healthcare system." The Controlled Opposition Media---which has a polar opposite reaction whenever a rich guy does the same to a poor one--- is portraying the victim as a heroic martyr just doing his job who was brutally gunned down by an envious Left-Wing Whacko. 

    The whole affair reminded me of an interview with Richard Nixon shortly after Lee Harvey Oswald was shot. Nixon said:

    "The man who was guilty of murdering our president deserved to die, but under our system he was entitled to a trial. Two wrongs don't make a right. As much as all Americans wanted to see the President's murderer brought to justice, under the circumstances, we deplore the law being taken into the hands of a man...It is my hope that all Americans will use that day {Day of Mourning declared by President Johnson} to pledge ourselves to fight this tendency towards hatred and violence that we saw evidenced in the last few days."

   My own thoughts are similar to Nixon's. The CEO of United Health Care meeting his demise in front of a firing squad after a fair trial would have been appropriate. The issue here, however, is that we don't have a functioning legal system like we had in 1963; and back then the Government actually reined in predatory Corporations. Also, the tendency that Nixon described then is a New Normal today---in fact one actually encouraged by the Government. 

   The "frustrations" that Americans feel is not solely with the Health Care System: it is rooted in deep-seated anger against a system in its entirety which no longer represents them or even especially cares about them. In fact, I would say that contempt probably describes the general attitude best that just about anyone in any position of power holds towards anyone who doesn't hold power.

   The reality---which most Americans probably will avoid facing---however, is that this situation is largely self-inflicted. Americans for the most part have abandoned any sense of community or any sense of responsibility to a Higher Power and engaged in a sort of war of all-against-all in the pursuit of egotistical greed and personal narcissistic gain. I would wager that the majority of those calling for the targeting of the CEOs would behave exactly like these executives do if they came into their positions themselves. 

   A Dead White Male spoke of another society much like ours today which it wouldn't hurt to quote here: "They had seen a single lawless will, unchecked by constitutional restraints or ordinary human feeling making sport of the lives and fortunes of men. They had seen the sons of the proudest families selling their ancestral honor for their lives, betraying their nearest and dearest and kissing the hand reeking with innocent blood. They saw that for the last several years, with brief intervals, virtue had been exiled or compelled to hide itself in impotent seclusion, and that power and wealth had been the reward of perfidy and self-abasement."

    That author was describing Ancient Rome under the likes of Caligula and Nero, but the passage was striking because it describes so succinctly the American Culture that we have seen develop since the previous quote from Nixon. The Romans were able to turn themselves around and saw better days for the next few centuries, whether we do or not is another matter. In Rome's case, a group who cared about the direction of their country ejected the ruling dynasty and instituted reforms. They did not do as both wings of our Uniparty want to do: seize power to replace one group of villains with another. 

   Americans have to face the fact that our culture cannot---and never can---function as long as the majority are bent on outsourcing their inalienable human rights to whichever powerful clique favors them. The idolatry of Wealth and Power led to what happened in New York and drove the ruthless exploitation carried out by United Health Care and is also driving the bloodthirsty calls for revenge. If it were anything else, the debate would be focused upon rational reforms instead of one side demanding a police-state crackdown and the other demanding lynch-mobs. 

   Despite what many want to believe, the Incoming Government shows no indication that it has any intention of reversing any of these trends, in fact, in some cases it seems inclined to accelerate them. The Party Platform adopted at this Summer's Convention scornfully rejected everything but top-down solutions and openly embraced Woke ideology; that the appointment of nearly two dozen globalist Oligarchs to key positions (positions liberally salted with Christian Nationalists and other fanatics) ought to tell anybody that change is not coming from the top. It needs to come from within ourselves first and foremost. 

   

   

    

  

THE SITUATION IN SYRIA, PART II

        Further details are beginning to emerge in the aftermath of the Color Revolution in Syria. Predictably, the Media Cartels are spouting contradictory information; especially the Neocon rats in the Controlled Opposition Media. Just two days ago, they were boasting that 'the terrorists were moving because of Biden's weakness' and that they feared Trump. After it came out that Israel was largely responsible for the operation, suddenly the new regime is being hailed as liberators. 

      By whatever name they call themselves, the Syrian Junta appears to be a combination of the Al-Nusra Front and the Syrian Democratic Forces; both of whom were sponsored by the Pentagon and covertly aided by the Israelis during the Civil War. Al-Nusra was a splinter group of Al-Qaeda whom Obama---like the official narrative currently calls them---were termed moderates and funded and supplied with weapons. The SDF was a collection of traitors, foreign mercenaries, and criminals assembled by CENTCOM and US taxpayers spent half a trillion dollars training and organizing them. They were rarely in battle and usually getting pulverized by ISIS when they were. After the war ended in 2018, the SDF served as enforcers for the Pentagon/Deep State bases still operating illegally in Syria.

   Al-Nusra received weapons and intel from the US Deep State too. One of their first actions was entering the village of Zara and massacring the civilian population. The Republicans might want to pretend that everything that has gone wrong in Syria is the Democrats' fault; however they held the Senate majority throughout Obama's second term; and, if anything, were only critical that Obama wasn't doing enough. Lest we forget, one of Trump's first actions as President was ordering a bombardment of Syria based on fake news of chemical weapons deployed against civilians. By the Summer of 2017, US fighter-pilots were shooting down Syrian aircraft---i.e., enforcing a no-fly zone as Hillary Clinton proposed doing.

  Things appear unlikely to be different under our own Regime Change which takes power in January. The decision to arm, fund, and train thugs like Al-Nusra and the SDF were made by Obama's National Security Command in the Pentagon. Who was one of their top advisors? Oh yes, this guy: 

      Kash Patel, recently nominated to serve as FBI Director, is quite proud of his history with the Obama Administration and his complicity in creating the disasters in both Ukraine and Syria. Then, we have this shining specimen of humanity:

     Marco Rubio, appointed to Secretary of State, was certainly not opposed to US military involvement in Syria. As US Senator, he led a charge along with arch-RINO Pentagon chief James Mattis to counter Trump's proposal to pull American forces from Syria. A wholly-owned toady of Deep State interests, Rubio is highly unlikely to be anything but supportive of globalist interests in Syria.

    The sheer number of Christian Zionists and White Supremacists appointed to key intel, military, and diplomatic positions in the Incoming Government basically suggests that they will support whatever Israel chooses to do. This is probably where the crisis in Syria is going: the Zionists have already begun preparations to annex as much of the territory as possible. In other words, the likely outcome will be that the US Deep State employs the Israelis as proxies---which is only a continuation of what Biden was doing. This once again shows, that the Republicans are not Conservatives, but Reactionary Liberals, and they are going to behave accordingly.

    

    

THE SITUATION IN SYRIA

     In the early days of this blog, we gave extensive coverage to the Syrian Civil War. Against enormous odds and with the help of powers allied against the Globalist Cabal, the Government headed by Bashir Assad turned back a vicious attempt at a hostile takeover of the country. In the space of about a week and a half, the Globalists succeeded in doing what they failed to accomplish over a decade.

   Fortunately, President Assad and his family are safe. The fall of Syria happened so rapidly and unexpectedly that everyone was taken completely by surprise; and, needless to say, we don't know many details. It was obviously a well-planned, well-funded operation with the usual suspects behind it. Syria is not only part of the lunatic dreams of the Zionist Cult's 'Greater Israel,' it is a strategic point in the Globalist plans to reduce the Middle East to a slave-state colony---especially to control valuable resources for the benefit of the Energy Cartels. The Pentagon---which, along with NATO and the IDF---has become more or less the private army of the Supranational Deep State has illegally occupied parts of Syria since the conflict ended in 2018 and has looted oil reserves. Now with the change in Government, they have access to port facilities circumventing the Red Sea and Persian Gulf routes which are controlled by their enemies.

   The Proxy War in Ukraine, the ongoing Color Revolution in Georgia, the coup in Romania, and the genocide in Palestine and Lebanon are part of the same overall strategy. Turkey, Bulgaria, Egypt and Iraq are probably the next dominoes to fall. The purpose behind this is to isolate Russia and Iran by closing down their Western trade-routes. 

   It's too early to tell at this point how the Allied Powers will react to the situation in Syria. They've got to realize that it represents a tremendous loss for themselves and a major victory for the enemies of humanity. Make no mistake about it: the Globalist Oligarchy's agenda of world domination is not just idle talk. The outgoing Biden/Harris Junta has executed a string of successful color revolutions, rigged elections, and proxy wars: Palestine, Argentina, El Salvador, Bangladesh, Kenya, among others and we can include the quasi-dictatorship of the New Right's good buddy Macron in France as well. 

      Those who imagine that the situation is going to change because the Uniparty changed Management Teams inside the Beltway are deluding themselves. The appointment of Neocon hawks and Zionist fanatics to key foreign policy and defense positions speaks for itself: regardless of whatever spin the Controlled Opposition Media puts on it or whatever was said for public consumption on the Campaign Trail.

     As we said while the Syrian Civil War was ongoing, the two most dangerous threats to Civilization are Western Neoliberalism and religious cults. Both have global domination under their jackboot as their end goal and is the reason why they frequently work together for a common purpose. That threat is very much alive and well as the Regime Change in Syria will prove. 

    

   

MUSK GETS CAUGHT FUNDING PRO-ABORTION PAC

       As post-Election FEC statements are coming out, it has been revealed that WEF Young Global Leader Elon Musk essentially purchased the United States Government for over a quarter-billion dollars. None of the True Believers, of course, ever questioned whether these enormous sums of money that Musk---a government contractor---was spending constituted a Conflict of Interest, nor did they question Musk's long history of spending on Democrat candidates to get those contracts along with special favors, or his cozy relations with the Deep State, or his ongoing promotion of WEF causes and people. Everyone was too busy owning those Libtards on X to pay any attention to Musk's activities. Now, Musk has been given enormous degrees of power in the Incoming Government to push his woke globalist agenda.

     Life Site News is reporting this morning that among the pro-Republican PACs Musk founded and funded in 2024 was the pro-Abortion Ruth Bader Ginsberg PAC. For those who went to public schools or can't remember news from over five years ago, we should explain that Ruth Bader Ginsberg was one of the worst Left-Wing Whackos to sit upon the US Supreme Court. She was appointed by the Clinton Co-Presidency and only three Republican Senators voted against her confirmation. 

   That same Neocon spirit that came from our kinder, gentler version of the New Right in the 1990s no doubt influenced Musk's choice of names, even though the Ginsberg Family, who are rather hard-core Liberals, are furious that Musk used her name without their permission and for a cause that supported Trump. However in a Party that long ago abandoned any moral high ground and boasts that Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings, it's unlikely that Musk's actions will be seen as anything other than a shrewd policy tactic. These days, success is all that counts.

   The RBG PAC ran ads late in 2024 praising the Republican Party's newly-woke position on Abortion and drawing parallels between Trump and whacko Ginsberg. Sadly, I have to admit, the parallels are fairly close these days. 

      The True Believers deny, of course, that the Republican Party has shifted radically to the Left and are quite content with the increasingly authoritarian direction that Musk and his globalist billionaire confederates are taking national policy. The Globalist Oligarchy is happy with it too. This week alone, Team Woke had productive meetings with Mark Zuckerberg and Tienanmen Trudeau at Mar-a-Lago. Musk and his policies were also the topic of a roundtable discussion conducted by the wholly-disinterested New York Times. In case anyone's interested, it cost a minimum of $2,500 to get a seat in the audience and journalists not employed by the Times were barred from entry.

   Jeff Bezos, one of the Globalist Oligarchs interviewed, gushed that "Trump has grown...I’m very hopeful—he seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation. And my point of view is, if I can help him do that, I’m going to help him, because we do have too much regulation in this country.” Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI and a flaming homo activist who himself founded a PAC for Joe Biden, slobbered that under Musk's leadership the Technocratic Fascism that he and Bezos work hard to achieve will become reality. "An artificial general intelligence, which can completely replicate the functions of a human mind, are not far off." Other attendees, which included various technocrat CEOs, members of the British Royal Family, and former President Clinton, expressed their optimism about the evolution of the Republican Party.

   However, as we have been informed repeatedly by the pundits on the New Right, anyone who opposes a unelected Corporate Bureaucracy substituted for a popularly-elected government are envious losers and no doubt closeted Marxists: the fact that the New Right has its origins in Marxist Philosophy to the contrary notwithstanding. 

   Whatever wing of the Uniparty that the Globalists employ to complete their objectives, we must state here that we firmly hold that the Great Reset ultimately will fail. However, we are in for some hard times between now and then, but we must still commit to resisting it in whatever form it takes.

     

WELCOME TO THE TECHNOCRACY

      Most of this week has been spent in fruitless endeavors to point out to the True Believers that the Incoming Government really has no intention of slowing down---let alone stopping---the march of the Globalist Oligarchy towards the Great Reset. At this point, I think that there's nothing that the Republicans could do that convince anybody that they're not on a righteous crusade to save us all from ourselves and make the world safe for American Exceptionalism. 

   At the beginning of the 21st Century, we went through the same thing with George Bush II. Things that never would have been tolerated for a moment if Al Gore had been elected were hand-waved away; the same as the New Right apes everything that Biden and Obama did and gets a free pass from the Controlled Opposition.

   During this week, the Republicans completed the hostile takeover of NASA by appointing billionaire Musk-crony Jared Isaacman to run what's left of our once-great Aerospace Program. Like Musk, Isaacman is a major government contractor through Draken International, which trains Air Force pilots under a contract with the Pentagon, operating the largest private fleet of fighter jets (apparently the US Air Force has been privatized already). Draken already gets fat government subsidies and controls large parts of American and NATO airbases; so much for any swamp-draining in that sector.

   Speaking of science, David O. Sacks, one of the shadiest of Silicon Valley Tech Lords was appointed as Top Science Advisor.

      Like many other appointees, Sacks is involved heavily in the Florida Swamp and has a multitude of WEF connections. It also does seem rather paradoxical that a political movement that claims to be so populist has this strange obsession with creating new 'czars' at every turn. Bush Sr. started the trend by giving us a Drug Czar (we all see how well that worked out, although the position is still there); but it appears that the Bush Legacy has come back with a vengeance. 

    Last but not least, the Small Business Administration got a billionaire leader this week too. Kelly Loeffler, whose husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, is the CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange, which, in turn, owns the New York Stock Exchange. This power couple made significant profits during the Scamdemic; but as head of the SBA, we can rest assured that small businesses will be a top priority for the new government. 

   So far, the new government has appointed at least 19 billionaires to key positions, not including the four newly-elected Republican Senators who likewise have at least a ten-figure net worth.

   

    Now, of course, if Kamala Harris had won and began packing the Government with Corporate Robber Barons and committed globalist Techno-Fascists, there would be no end of outrage streaming out the Controlled Opposition. Instead, though, there has been nothing but universal praise and acclamation to the point where a flaming homosexual who works for George Soros is hailed as a based and Red-Pilled choice for Treasury Secretary.

   How does this Cognitive Dissonance come about? The recent discussions I've had online with the True Believers has one thing clear: most have a very black/white, either/or approach to issues. As Bush Jr. famously summed up the thinking: "You're either for us or you're against us." Democrats are bad, therefore Republicans must be good. Communism is evil, therefore Crony Capitalism must be righteous. The Mainstream Media lies, therefore the 'Conservative' outlets must be telling the truth. Atheist Materialism is bad, therefore Christian Nationalism must be good. So on and so forth.

    This kind of fallacious reasoning has been sown deliberately in our culture as part of the Strategy of Tension. Whether the perceived threat comes from the 'Left' or the 'Right' is a matter of indifference to the ruling class: the only important thing is that people demand an authoritarian government. That's one reason why there has been so little pushback from the Democrats this year compared to 2016 and 2020. If Kamala had won, the Republicans likewise would have thrown up the sponge and capitulated. All that the Oligarchy cares about is moving the Great Reset forward; and they are certainly poised to accelerate in the coming years. 

THE HUNTER BIDEN MELODRAMA ENDS, BUT OTHERS ENSUE

      For the past two years, the Conservative-Industrial Complex has been engaged in a Lawfare witch-hunt against Hunter Biden, son of the outgoing Head-of-State. That long melodrama ended this weekend after the elder Biden pardoned his offspring. This caused a fury among the Controlled Opposition who'd hoped to throw Hunter in jail, especially since they had gone to so much trouble to shield themselves from being implicated in any of his crimes in Ukraine. 

     Biden's decision was probably influenced by two things. One was the appointment of Charles Kushner---Jared's dad and an even bigger crook than Hunter Biden---to the post of Ambassador to France. Trump pardoned Kushner during his first term (Kushner was convicted by a Republican prosecutor BTW), but such displays of favoritism are only wrong when the Democrats do it. 

    Biden was probably also concerned about the Republican Nominee to head the FBI, Kash Patel.

    Biden is probably familiar with Patel's character (or lack thereof), since they served together in the Obama Administration---another one of those minor details that the hero-worshippers in the Controlled Opposition seem to leave out of their propaganda. Patel was part of the Justice Department's National Security Command (the guys exposed by Edward Snowden) where he boasted that:

   “I was embedded with America’s top special operations teams, through the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM), to help manage special military operations and maximize impact...I was there to help manage the legal side of special operations. For example, if we found a terrorist, I was one of the stakeholders {Nota Bene his choice of terms} looking at the evidence, helping determine recommendations for what to do next, whether it was a drone strike, a Special Forces raid, or even attempting to capture the terrorist to bring him back to America for prosecution."

   After Hillary Clinton was defeated in 2016, Patel switched sides and served with the same ruthless fanaticism in the next Administration. He was so despised even then that Trump's CIA Director threatened to resign if Patel were appointed to her department. After his old boss, Biden, took power, Patel found himself without a job and began running a few shady PACs, selling 'MAGA Merch' and authoring a few books. 

   One of these books was titled quite tellingly, The Plot Against the King, a sort of fantasy novel. A synopsis of the plot-line reads: "a villain, Hillary Queenton, is trying to depose King Donald, who is aided by a wizard called Kash the Distinguished Discoverer. Another villain is called Keeper Komey and his spying slugs." This tome was allegedly written for children, although given the emotional and intellectual level of many on the New Right, I have some doubts.

       In fact, fanaticism, complete amorality, and an utter disregard for human rights seem to be the distinguishing features of Kash Patel's character. Patel claims, as they all do, that he is going to clean up the FBI and smash the Deep State. However, like many others in this incoming government, he seems instead to mean that he intends to replace one Deep State with another. In another of his books, he defines the Deep State as “elected leaders along with yellow journalists in the media who serve as peddlers of propaganda and disinformation at the behest of the ruling elites...and actors affiliated with non-governmental organizations, who carry water for the Democrat Party and the radical left.”

     This doesn't sound as though Patel intends to reform the FBI and keep it from being used as a partisan political weapon as much as he claims. He stated on Steven Bannon's program a year ago that “We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but in the media. We’re going to come after you whether it’s criminally or civilly.”

    A Conservative approach would be something more along the lines of reforms instituted following the Watergate Scandal in the 1970s: preventing agencies like the FBI from abusing their power. But an approach like that wouldn't serve the purposes of the New Right. Their goal is---and has been from the beginning---not to dismantle the Deep State, but to appropriate it for their objectives. 

STONE HEAD SUNDAY

        Leaving the depressing sociopolitical scene for the moment, there has been an interesting online debate in other corners of the Blogosphere. Commenter Ark, who's appeared here a few times, began a discussion yesterday at InsanityBytes' blog promoting Atheism, which has spilled over into today, and over at The Lion's Den, and probably elsewhere. Admittedly, it's hard to follow all of this: at our site, a half-dozen comments qualifies as a lively discussion.😏

      Anyway, Ark made three points which the debate has turned upon:

              1. Believers indoctrinate children with this unfounded nonsense.
              2.Believers try in inveigle religion into society
              3.Religion is supernaturalism, brutal, violent and divisive.

      Actually, if Ark phrased it this way: "Some professed believers &c." I'd probably agree with the first two points and even the third with some qualification. The way that he stated these points is too general overall. Let's examine his points:

      1. Believers indoctrinate children with this unfounded nonsense. All civilized cultures recognize the indefeasible right of parents to be responsible for the spiritual instruction of the young. However, in the United States, parents are willing instead to turn over as much of their duties to the State or external institutions as possible; so in this sense, Ark has a point. Even countries like China respect the principle of parental responsibility more than the contemporary US does. 

    The State has no right nor authority to interfere in these matters at all, regardless of whether one believes what's being taught is unfounded nonsense or not. The only occasion for State intervention is when the laws are violated as to abusive or grossly negligent behavior on the parents' part. 

    2. Believers try to inveigle religion into society. Again, some do and some don't. Our Founding Fathers led off the Bill of Rights with Freedom of Religion for a reason (and many of them were 'believers'). Unfortunately, in the Postmodern US, we've seen a rise of Christian Nationalism which largely rejects the idea. The Founders justly were concerned that, in a pluralistic society like ours, a very narrowly-defined version of religious interpretation could force its way into power. 

   In countries like Russia, they've taken the more rational approach of setting up a council of religious leaders to advise on social issues. It's headed by the Russian Orthodox Church though the many religions of Russia have a seat at the table. In Russia, the approach has been effective because everyone has a voice; and has led to several humanitarian relief efforts abroad, as well as blockading corrosive threats to society and suppressing dangerous religious cults. 

  However, this is not what American Christian Nationalists have in mind. They envision something closer to 15th-Century Spain, only with Prosperity-Gospel Megachurch pastors in charge instead of Popes and Cardinals, and the Holy See in Hollywood as opposed to Rome. Lest we imagine, however, that Catholics aren't as susceptible to the same ideas, consider a comment recently left on a Catholic site:

   "The so-called Dark Ages were precisely the time that Europe turned towards God. These were the centuries one might say began with St. Augustine and St. Benedict, proceeded through Charlemagne and led up to the marvelous 11th century. Would that today's world had half the faith of the Dark Ages!!!"

   After I pointed out that the Dark Ages were a harrowing time of tyranny, poverty and ignorance, the commenter countered that:

   "The Inquisition was highly effective in maintaining religious and social stability and was not as bad as people's lurid imaginings. Read some responsible historian on the topic. Feudalism as a sociopolitical arrangement is neither good nor bad. It did provide people with a sense of purpose at their level. I wonder if our modern arrangement or disarrangement is better. As for literacy, I think it is highly overrated. What good has come from everyone knowing how to read? As Our Lord said, we'll always have poverty. It is a relative term."

   In fairness to Ark, stupidity like this creates Atheists more efficiently that all of the Scientistic theories put together do. Which brings us to Ark's final point:

   3. Religion is Supernaturalism: brutal, violent, and divisive. In this case, Ark is confounding Religion with Fanaticism, and also stretches the term 'Supernaturalism.' There are people who firmly believe in God, angels, demons, heavens and hells who don't belong to any organized religion (and actually they tend to be the least brutal, violent, and divisive of people).

     I think that it's noteworthy here to comment that Christianity---and to some extent traditional Judaism---are the only two religions that I know of where the prophets and apostles are depicted in the Sacred Writings as denouncing and opposing the leadership of their own religions. The earlier of the Jewish prophets (e.g. Isaiah, Hosea, Amos, Micah) were not exactly revered by the Religious Establishments of their day for exposing the corruption and hypocrisy rife within them; just as Christ did in His time, and the Apostles speak at considerable length about religious charlatans. The maxim "By their fruits you shall know them" applies to religious leaders too. Nearly every other religion teaches belief in a leader or system whereas ours specifically says, "Try the spirits to see whether they are of God or not:" in other words, don't believe everything you hear just because an authority says so. 

     Faith is dependent upon Reason and Free-Will. Obviously, a culture that allows the maximum independence of thought also allows the greatest expressions of Faith. Most of our spiritual problems as a society has come from outsourcing our thinking, and it certainly is not a matter of Faith to do so. 

    

    

      

     

BLACK FRIDAY AND THE US TREASURY

        Of all of the Cabinet Posts, the Treasury Department is the second most powerful in the Executive Branch of the US Government, between the State Department and the Attorney-General. The Incoming Government has installed loyal Bush Machine operatives in those latter two agencies. Marco Rubio, a product of Jeb Bush's Florida Swamp and opponent of MAGA until recently, was chosen to head the State Department, while Pam Bondi, another Florida Swampette and former lobbyist for Jeff Bezos, became Attorney-General nominee. 

      Scott Bessent, picked to head the Treasury Department, was one of the last appointed. The Controlled Opposition articles---at least the ones I've read---all celebrate Bessent as "a successful hedge fund manager" and a few have noted that he successfully predicted some of the foreign currency crashes that happened around the turn of the century. The problem here though is that nearly all of these articles leave out the minor detail that the hedge funds that Bessent so skillfully managed belonged to George Soros. It is true that he did predict the currency crises, however, it is not explained that he was able to do so largely because he was the cause of them.

     There's a lot to be said here. Bessent's history was not unknown to anybody, nor was his choice for this position something that only happened last week. Bessent has been on the 'short-list' for Treasury for months. The RNC and the Controlled Opposition obviously knew about his connections to Soros---we even mentioned it here in article last August. As usual, though, American 'Conservatives' decided to look the other way, just like they did with Vivek Ramaswamy, another Soros-connected Woke Republican. 

     Another interesting detail about Bessent comes from his profile, which also is rarely mentioned:

    "Bessent resides in Charleston, South Carolina. Bessent and his husband, former New York City prosecutor John Freeman, have two children."

     Does anybody else remember how, for the past year or so, paid pundits and Controlled Opposition Media figures were throwing up their hands in exasperated outrage about characters like Pete Buttigieg in the Biden Government? 'Oh, how terrible! A globalist who openly flaunts his perversion in a position of high authority! Oh, how did we ever sink to such a level! Things have never been worse than under Biden!', and so forth. Buttigieg was in a Cabinet position much less powerful than Bessent will be, but no matter to the True Believers, apparently. 

    It also evidently is of no concern that as Soros' Chief Financial Officer, Bessent was also directly involved in funding all of Soros' woke causes, including the Migrant Caravans that all of the White Supremacists now in charge of Immigration Policy are so concerned about. 

    Meanwhile, let's all keep on trusting the plan. Keep believing that the Globalist Oligarchs really don't mean what they say, and that all of these sudden converts to MAGA really are Conservatives now and really will put the country back on the right track. After all, controlling the narrative and keeping up appearances are what count: Reality and Reason, not so much. 

 

ZUCKERBERG JOINS 'TEAM WOKE' FOR THANKSGIVING

      President Trump's estate at Mar-a-Lago---which most recently was the scene of mega-fundraisers hosted by the Log Cabin Republicans and homo 'weddings'; held Thanksgiving Dinner today with WEF linchpin Mark Zuckerberg as Guest of Honor. 

     “Mark was grateful for the invitation to join President Trump for dinner and the opportunity to meet with members of his team about the incoming administration,” Meta said in a statement. “It’s an important time for the future of American innovation.” (Innovation in this case meaning, of course, the growing fusion between the Tech Oligarchy and Big Government). 

    Deputy White House spokesxhe Stephen Miller confirmed on Murdoch's network that “Mark, obviously, has his own interest, and he has his own company and he has his own agenda, but he’s made clear that he wants to support the national renewal of America under Trump's leadership,” (i.e. fast-tracking the Great Reset). Miller, who was a member of the previous Administration until leaked e-mails (largely shared on Zuckerberg's Media platform) exposed his ties to White Supremacist groups, apparently has evolved like Zuckerberg has. 

      Like probably at least half of the incoming Government, Zuckerberg's past crimes will be overlooked and he'll be welcomed by the True Believers and applauded by the Controlled Opposition Media. All that we really need now to complete the picture is for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to come on board; we already have George Soros, Bill Gates, Larry Fink and a host of Bush-RINOs and WEF apparatchiks going for us. 

     Anyway, here at least the sun is shining, the squirrels are out gathering walnuts, some turkey drumsticks are ready for the rotisserie, and some pumpkin pie is headed for the oven. It may not be Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, but there's something to be said for going to sleep at night with a clear conscience. 

      

CHINA ANNOUNCES INITIATIVE TO FIGHT TRASH CULTURE

        Many other nations outside the grip of American Exceptionalism understandably are concerned about preventing the now-obvious cultural rot prevailing in the United States from spreading like a plague into their own cultures. China has been no exception to this trend. The Chinese Government has held a fairly strong line against the importation of recreational drugs and the degenerating influence of America's Media Culture. Resistance to these things has led to a revival in the United States of the Yellow Peril genre in the American Media; which, unlike the Chinese Media, rarely distinguishes between Information and Entertainment.

      China today announced an updated set of guidelines for television programming. They read in part: "The creators should avoid wrapping absurd stories under the guise of realism and using absurd artistic techniques as an excuse to fabricate overly bizarre plots that lack genuine value...It also emphasizes that short-form dramas must not deliberately create appealling points through content that promotes materialism, flaunting wealth, power, or hedonism. The theme and the characterization of the protagonists should not deviate from mainstream values, and micro dramas should avoid promoting the views of getting something for nothing, instant success, or overnight wealth."

      If we had a Standard of Ethics like that in the American Media, 95% of our content would go offline: in fact, probably nothing but archived public-domain television and Classic Movie channels would be left. Not to say that it wouldn't be a positive thing if it happened here; but our Culture is too far gone at this point, and the very thing that China seeks to prevent actually defines contemporary American Culture in many ways.

    When we had a competitive Media Industry in the US, there were Professional Codes of Ethics which had similar guidelines to what China has. There were trashy, low-grade media outlets in existence: but most of them were on the fringes of society. Today, they've become Mainstream Media while productions that involve overly bizarre plots that lack genuine value clearly are on the margins. 

    If Americans still had a capacity for feeling shame, they would be mortified at the fact that the Communist Party of China has a greater commitment to upholding traditional values than we have; we might also start examining how far our own values have degenerated. It's reached the point where celebrities and Media Moguls are being put in charge of running important positions like the Department of Education, the Defense Department, and overseeing government spending, while football stars and talk-show hosts are considered prime candidates for positions like Senators and Governors. 

   That type of soul-searching is badly needed on our part, but is unlikely to happen since our same gutter-level Media has more or less programmed the American mind to believe that anything that China (or any of our other designated scapegoats) do must be bad. We ought to reflect instead upon how their families are stronger, their schools produce educated and productive citizens and they have nothing like the rates of addiction, declining mental and physical health, crime, and gender dysphoria that we have. Our system is supposed to be better; maybe we should start asking ourselves why it once was and why it no longer is. 

THE GREAT RESET STARTS AT HOME

       So, this weekend the Republican Establishment finished filling the top posts in the incoming Executive Branch. To summarize what the finished product looks like: I think that if Jeb Bush, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, Bill Gates, and Joel Osteen sat around a table and devised a Government, it would look about like what we have. There were one or two good choices: Robert Kennedy at HHS and Lori C. DeRemer at the Labor Department---the RINOs, of course, will never let these nominations see the light of day. Still some people are desperate to keep believing:

     That of course is very wishful thinking. I've always admired Nicole Shanahan's idealism, but we live in an era when ideals are considered old-fashioned and action for the sake of action is admired. This Transition Team isn't even bothering with background checks let alone worrying about what Interest Groups are horning their way into positions of power. As we saw during the whole Electoral Farce, most True Believers didn't much care about who took over either, as long as they weren't Democrats (although several 'former Democrats' seem to have gotten a free pass). Among the New Right of today, winning and taking power is a goal in itself: commitment to Conservatism, not so much.

     To underscore the incoming Executive Branch's deep commitment to the Bush Doctrine of enforcing (very selectively) freedom at the point of a gun, the swine in the Corporate Media have been stoking the public for the next upcoming State of Emergency. Because Americans seem to thrive on the excitement of these National Emergencies and there is no shortage of fanatics willing to carry them out, President Trump---or whoever writes his speeches for him---has already vowed to open a new one even before being sworn in. 

    To this end, (certain) immigrants are being designated as the official scapegoat for all of the failings of our culture. We've already mentioned here before how radically the Police/Surveillance State would have to be expanded to enact this kind of drama; and of course, the 'immigrant invasion' is a complete hoax---just like the Scamdemic (which had a 99+% survival rate); or all of the Terrorist Sleeper Cells (that we've never found); or numerous other national panic-attacks which have resulted in temporary losses of freedoms. 

   These outbreaks of mass-hysteria---while they usually have negative consequences for the public engaging in them---typically enrich Government contractors and other such creatures. Bush Jr. even boasted that National Security was the fastest-growing economic sector during his term; and the Scamdemic was by far the largest wealth-transfer in US history. This is all that the next State of Emergency will accomplish as well.
