RUBIO DISPATCHED TO VATICAN TO OVERAWE POPE LEO

          So, this morning what New Right toady sites like LifeSite News describe as "the most pro-Christian Administration in History" sent its top emissary Marco Rubio to the Vatican to present a list of demands negotiate with the Pope because of recent Papal criticisms of some of the White House's rhetoric and policies. The last such delegation, we might recall, featured J.D. Vance forcing his way onto Pope Francis' deathbed to scream about Papal opposition to rounding up thousands of Catholics and warehousing them in foreign and domestic Concentration Camps as well as selling weapons to regimes that fire-bomb churches. The Media Punditocracy couldn't fathom why Francis may have opposed such measures. Hopefully, Pope Leo will survive this meeting, the US Deep State's hopes to the contrary notwithstanding.

        This being an 'Election' Year in the US, the Controlled Opposition is ridiculously trying to pretend that they actually care about American Catholics. The sad fact is that American Catholics really have no representation; they can support Democrats and submit to the Abortion Racketeers and the Gay Mafia, or they can support the Reactionary Right and get Deep State Christian Nationalist fronts like Opus Dei (represented by the likes of Vance and Rubio). Both wings of the Uniparty have a general contempt for mainstream Catholics because they recognize a higher Authority than the State. For the same reason, they both hate Mainstream Protestants too; as well as non-Zionist Jews, and generally anybody else who doesn't fall in line behind the New Order.

       The fake political theater aside, though, it can no longer be gainsaid that the intention of the New Right is the Establishment of a State Church. There's no point in denying any longer that so-called 'MAGA Christianity' is anything other than a cult; or more precisely, a fusion of various cults coalescing around a political ideology. Organizations like the Rockbridge Network and the Heritage Foundation---whose Christian Nationalist leaders hold the Vice-Presidency and the Office of Management and Budget respectively, are proof of that. We could add Pete Hegseth's purges of the Pentagon; the installation of similar characters at the Department of Homeland Security; Presidential Advisory Boards packed with cultists of various kinds, etc. 


        The New Right is neither Conservative nor Christian; it is not seeking political or social reformation or restoration. It is a Reactionary movement both politically and culturally. Christian Nationalism is simply the antipode of the Rainbow Churchianity of the New Left. The goal of both movements is the ultimate subservience of Faith to Ideology. The pastors with the preferred pronouns and the Rainbow flags on their podiums and the pastors calling themselves manly Alpha leaders holding fundraisers for thugs like Andrew Tate and preaching about the Sin of Empathy are the same wolves in different sheep's clothing.

         It's rather doubtful that anything of substance will come from Rubio's meeting with the Pope; although there are bound to be plenty of photo-ops and narrative-crafting from the White House. There really is no point on which the New Right and the Church can find common grounds of agreement.  American Christians are in a position, however, where they need to start asking themselves whether the Church or the State commands their ultimate allegiance. It's a question they should have asked themselves a long time ago. This is why our Founders wisely separated Church and State, so that the populace would never be put in a position where they had to choose between the two. Instead, we looked the other way as the State encroached further and further into matters of faith: now it has become a necessity.

IS NSPM-7 A THIRD RAIL TOPIC?

         In the recent wave of Government-sponsored violence against people on American Soil---citizens and non-citizens alike---we've seen a marked and radical departure from previous official criminal actions. The Bush/Clinton 'War on Drugs,' the Bush/Obama 'War on Terror;' and the Uniparty's joint acts of tyranny during the Scamdemic were all committed against the backdrop of at least quasi-legality. There were Congressional debates, some adverse Court decisions, etc. What has changed in this circumstance isn't simply the phoniness of the alleged 'crisis.' The New Right has not only behaved with complete disregard for any Constitutional Balance of Power, it has openly declared its opponents as de facto Enemies of the State and created de facto Secret Police Forces and political paramilitary units to act as enforcers with no accountability or civilian oversight. The Christian Nationalists and White Supremacists currently running DHS, the DOJ, and the Pentagon have made no secret of what their intentions are,


           The figure of 100 million, of course, is mathematically impossible if we're talking only about immigrants: the fact here is that they intend to strip other undesirables of their citizenship as well. The murder of a US citizen in Minneapolis, followed by the attempted murder of two immigrants in Portland this last week---and more importantly the response from the White House, which has doubled down even harder since, Both the Administration's actions and its response are premised on a National Security Presidential Memorandum decreed in September and put into play shortly before Christmas, NSPM-7.

           NSPM-7 broadly defines what constitutes terrorism indicators, relative to the situations in Minneapolis and Portland is that "extremism on migration" (whatever that means) is listed specifically as covered as a terrorist act. Despite its egregious illegality and obvious intent to weaponize federal police forces against Administration opponents, it appears that NSPM-7 has become a Third Rail Topic that neither wing of the Uniparty nor the Corporate Media cares to discuss. Journalist Ken Klippenstein, who broke the story about NSPM-7 and has been one of the only media figures covering this noted that:

         "It’s likely we’re about to hear a lot more about the incident in the coming days. But what you won’t hear about is the role of Trump’s national security directive NSPM-7 in all of this. Signed last September following the murder of Charlie Kirk, NSPM-7 directs the federal government to focus on rooting out domestic terrorism. The directive singles out violence against ICE in particular as a leading domestic terror threat. Four days later, Attorney General Pam Bondi signed her own directive building upon NSPM-7 and titled 'Ending Political Violence Against ICE.'

       "Bondi’s order directs federal law enforcement to crack down on threats to ICE officers, which it defines broadly to include things like 'doxing' as well as impeding their enforcement actions...The directive goes on to direct prosecutors to target those interfering with or impeding ICE actions. 'The U.S. Attorney’s Office for each district shall prosecute any individual who assaults or forcibly impedes or intimidates these officers, who interferes with the performance of these officers’ official duties, or who attempts to do so, consistent with 18 U.S.C.§ 111 and other applicable federal laws,' the document says."

       Klippenstein is right: the Administration itself, which has been acting under NSPM-7's provisions have made no mention of it; nor have the Democrats, who are pretending to be outraged but are only using the shooting for a political wedge issue. During the last two days, I have waded through several Democrat Controlled Opposition sites, blogs, and vlogs: the Young Turks: MS NOW, Bluesky, etc. Not a peep about NSPM-7 anywhere, though a few have ventured to speculate that the ICE raids are designed to divert attention from muh Epstein Files. 😔 The New Right isn't the only one with a broken moral compass, obviously. 

       All of this raises the question: why hasn't anybody brought this up? Why is discussion of NSPM-7 seemingly off-limits for the Uniparty, the Corporate Media, or the paid parrots in Academia to broach? The most basic answer, as with all Third Rail Topics, is that they don't want the public prying deeper and asking questions about its effects or import. The Brennan Center's assessment probably comes close to the truth: "Existing laws give the president great latitude in combating threats to national security. NSPM-7 and the antifa executive order are an obvious abuse of this latitude, threatening to turn the full force of the federal government to rooting out a conjured-up left-wing conspiracy of political violence funded by shadowy figures. Neither the law nor the facts support this premise, and court challenges to actions taken pursuant to these orders will likely meet with success."

       In other words, the less attention drawn to NSPM-7, the less likely that it will be contested; the Democrats evidently have agreed not to push it because they may wish to employ its powers themselves some day---much as they never opposed the Patriot Act for the same reason. In the meantime, we should do all within our power to expose this horrid Directive; leave comments on news sites about it; bring it up on discussion forums; question politicians about it at town-halls, wherever ICE abuses are being discussed. Awareness is the key to short-circuiting the Third Rail.

IT'S NOT A BUG, IT'S A FEATURE

         The last two weeks haven't been kind to the New World Order crowd now essentially Ruling by Decree (with the full complicity of the Democratic Party). In Foreign Policy, two now-former allies of the United States felt the wrath of the Alpha Supermen committed, they say, to making America Great Again.

      Colombia saw diplomatic channels severed and its President blacklisted after he complained about his citizens in the US being forcibly abducted, whisked off into Concentration Camps at home or to offshore Black-Budget sites. Likewise, the Colombian President felt that fishermen and recreational boaters being hunted and killed by Pete Hegseth for sport was an insult to his his country's sovereignty.

      Then, it was Canada's turn once again. In a thundering Truth Social post, President Trump (or whoever writes these things for him) blasted the Canadian Government for eliciting the words of Ronald Reagan (who really was a Conservative) and his opposition to punitive tariffs. Trump announced that he was cancelling unilaterally all Trade negotiations with Canada for daring to expose how far the New Right has drifted from Conservative principles. Actually, if we wanted to draw comparisons to 1980s politicians, the current Republican Party more closely resembles Lyndon LaRouche, Pat Robertson, or David Duke and other fringe characters. But the so-called 'Alternative Media,' which has no issue signing Government Loyalty Oaths, would rather such comparisons not be brought up.

     On the subject of historical parallels, though, many are starting to draw some rather unpleasant similitudes over the hysterical rages coming from the White House with increasing intensity and frequency.


      This negative image wasn't helped much by some recent scandals on the Domestic front either. Three times in the last ten days, the Woke Right has had to resort to intensive damage control after numerous operatives within both the Administration and the Republican Party at-large were caught involved in online Neo-Nazi activities. 

      The first blow came on October 14th, when Politico received nearly 3,000 leaked chats between 'Young Republicans' (i.e. TPUSA types), glorifying Hitler and condemning minorities as subhumans. The people involved included candidates for office, a sitting State Senator, and an operative in the Administration. Several of them have been removed from their positions, at least for now.

    The very next day, a Zoom call to Ohio Congressman Dave Taylor revealed some interesting office decor by Taylor's Media liaison.


           Taylor responded by claiming that the swastika was "an optical illusion," which is probably as sufficient an excuse as any for True Believers and Denialists.

           The third blow fell upon the White House nominee for Office of Special Counsel, Paul Ingrassia, who likewise was involved in the exchanged chats. Ingrassia has held two different positions within the administration, first at the Department of Justice under Pam Bondi, before he was reportedly forced out and moved to the Department of Homeland Security, where he has been serving as Trump’s White House liaison while waiting for a Senate confirmation hearing that was previously scheduled for Thursday. Ingrassia noted in the texts that “I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to time, I will admit it.”

         Ingrassia also remarked that crime among American Blacks occurred because “Blacks behave that way because that’s their natural state. You can’t change them.” It should be noted that this is far from the first time that Ingrassia has made such statements. Commenting on the 2024 CPAC gathering where GOP operatives vowed to overthrow Democracy, Ingrassia commented:  “We need competent white men in positions of leadership. ... The founding fathers were wrong that all men are created equal. … We need to reject that part of our heritage.” 

       None of this was unknown to the Administration. Ingrassia has been a frequent visitor to Mar-a-Lago and to fundraising dinners held by Trump. In fact, JD Vance rushed to Charlie Kirk's old podcast to defend all of these people as "just some kids making jokes," and complained that the pushback against them was "an attack on free speech," ironically at the same time that Marco Rubio was announcing a plan to revoke visas of immigrants who criticized Charlie Kirk. 

      This isn't, of course, the first time that Vance has covered for Neo-Nazis. He also defended the Neo-Nazi driven hoax against Haitian immigrants during the campaign; and certainly has had nothing to say about the open recruitment of Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists into State Security Forces like ICE. It must be recalled as well that Vance is deeply tied to Tech Oligarch Peter Thiel, who unabashedly lists actual Nazis as among his ideological influences

      In other words, these are not isolated incidents: to paraphrase a saying from Big Tech, Nazism is not a bug, it's a feature of the New Right. These are not Conservatives, but Reactionary Liberals, just as their spiritual forefathers in 20th Century Europe were. Rather than debate or disprove the Nazi canard thrown at them repeatedly by the New Left over the years, they have come to embrace it, as they have every negative stereotype ginned up by the Left.

      After the excesses of the Left, a Reaction was probably predictable---but that doesn't excuse nor justify it. A truly Conservative reaction would have been to institute reforms to keep these abuses from happening again. Instead, we see the so-called Right behaving exactly as we'd expect the Left to behave: motivated by hatred, paranoia, and other elements of the lowest level of human nature. 

     The question is: are we going to continue looking the other way, pretending there's no problem with extremism in our ranks, and rationalizing every new outrage? Or will Conservatives finally decide to say 'enough!' and take our movement back.

ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL POWER-GRAB

       This weekend, the Uniparty agreed to advance the ridiculously-named One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which is concerned with Government funding. The procedure, of course, is a cover for massive wealth-transfers and expansions of the Police State; the Democrat Establishment is feigning opposition as usual, but in the end the Oligarchy will get whatever they want even if some modifications are introduced along the way. Much of the discussion against the Bill which has been permitted in the Corporate Media focuses on DOGE-driven cuts to Social Services. While these cuts are indeed draconian; the Facts-Don't-Care-About-Your-Feelings Party is happy to have those as the central point of debate. As Senator Mitch McConnell boasted: “I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they’ll get over it.”

      To further cloud the issue, former (for now) DOGE Commissar Elon Musk has re-surfaced to fan the online debate away from the Budget Cuts and expansions of Corporate Government that he himself largely instigated. This is all for show, of course. Musk's Corporate Cronies---with whom he's deeply invested---profit heavily from the Bill as currently written, and the end the Alphas will all go back to being one big happy family again.


        Now there actually has been some genuine opposition to the Bill; and that in contrast has met with a wholly different response. Congressman Thomas Massie, who has opposed expansions of the Police State and Congressional subservience to foreign lobbies, is being targeted by the same group who allegedly stands for populism against Cancel Culture. 

      "A new super PAC launched by aides to President Donald Trump aimed at unseating Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) placed its first ads in a $1 million blitz in Kentucky targeting the isolationist lawmaker for his refusal to support key parts of the president’s agenda...The Kentucky MAGA PAC was launched earlier this month by Chris LaCivita, who co-managed Trump’s 2024 campaign, and Tony Fabrizio, the president’s pollster, with the goal of defeating Massie in the GOP primary for his House seat next May. LaCivita told Axios at the time that the PAC would spend 'whatever it takes' to defeat the Kentucky lawmaker."

     LaCivita and Fabrizio are both veterans of Bush 2.o and not above sleazy campaign tactics. Like many of the other Bush Machine operatives infesting this Administration, both are huge fans of the Great Reset/New World Order endorsed by the 'Conservative' wing of the World Economic Forum

     Massie isn't the only target of these internal purges. North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis announced his resignation after being threatened with a similar Party Purge. Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon also was forced out under pressure from the White House

     The Bush Machine philosophy that "you're either for us or for the enemy" is very much alive and well in Bush 3.0. It's a far cry from the Reagan Era when Conservatism won in the Market-Place of Ideas instead of governing with a bludgeon. Reagan, however, was a reformer who actually sought solutions and recognized that we lived under Constitutional restraints that protected people from the abuses of an all-powerful central Government. That doesn't fit the interests of Globalist would-be overlords, nor a 'base' generally consumed with worship of the Alpha Superman and hatred for anyone perceived as an 'enemy.'


      'Conservative West' is only saying out loud what most of the True Believers would say if they were honest. Since 2022, the only 'agenda' the Republican Party has publicly promoted is based on grabbing power from the Democrats and using it just as arrogantly and irresponsibly as the Left Wing of the Uniparty does. The agenda they've privately promoted is no different from the Democrats in that it's designed to shift more power and wealth from the people into the hands of authoritarian Corporate Oligarchs. The True Believers don't care as long as those they hate suffer more.

      The True Believers aren't the ones we're addressing here: they are wholly impervious to arguments based either in Faith or Philosophy. The people who need to stand up are the actual Conservatives who don't want to see our Constitution and traditions hijacked by authoritarian dilettantes. We're seeing repeatedly that the New Right has no compunction against either purging or intimidating even its own supporters when they even slightly step out of line. This is not what Conservatives are supposed to stand for, but the New Right is simply the Reactionary Left and always has been.

PARENTING ADVICE FROM THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST

      During the mid-1990s, the Clinton Co-Presidency unveiled a concept called It Takes a Village to Raise a Child, which really just put into social policy what Americans had been doing already: outsourcing as many familial and parental responsibilities to the 'community' as humanly possible. The Neocon Right criticized the policy but then adopted it wholeheartedly once they came into power. We saw the Neocons sink to their nadir during the Scamdemic when 'Conservatives' lined up to re-open the hellscapes called American Public Schools---even over the objections of the Whacko Left

     Our woke, evolved Republican Party of 2025 apparently believes that American parents haven't outsourced child-rearing sufficiently, so the self-proclaimed world's smartest man and America's leading pop-culture icon, Elon Musk has suggested Artificial Intelligence could help.

    

     OK, so maybe Musk has fathered over a dozen children through surrogates, and promotes transhumanist schemes like Neurolink and other WEF-backed population control agendas. Maybe---despite his superior intellect---he was tricked into signing a Consent Form for gender-affirming care when one of his bastards decided to troon out. We can totally trust him because he's wealthy and the President listens to him.

    To back up these new normals in parenting, we've appointed another stellar specimen of superior family values and bastion of traditional cultural norms to head the US Department of Education.


      To top it all off, New Right pundits hold up other excellent role-models for all men and women hoping to build lasting, traditional relationships; even to the point of promoting them for political office


      In fairness, I suppose that it could be argued that the likes of Musk, Linda McMahon, and Andrew Tate actually do represent typical American fathers and mothers in 2025. Sadly, there is truth to that objection. This is the culmination of 30 years of the village raising our children: both the smug Left and their flying monkeys on the 'Right' have brought us to this point. Top-down solutions offered by both wings of the Uniparty have proven a disastrous failure; and as more and more dysfunctional adults produced by our Trash Culture reach adulthood, the worst effects are yet to be felt.

     If we still had an actual Conservative Movement in the US, the family would be the center of Social Policy, as it once was. The Incels, transhumanists, and homosexuals (both open and closeted) running the American 'Right' today are not about to do that. The Democrats, of course, threw the traditional family under the bus a long time ago.

     The solution would be to reject all of these influencers and interest groups categorically and parents to begin networking with other like-minded people and community leaders. Above all, we need to start caring about our children again. Whether or not Americans have enough character left to do this, is the question facing us despite what the experts say.

CONSERVATIVE JUDGE SLAPS DOWN NEOCON POWER-GRAB

       Less than a week after the White House issued a decree nullifying the 14th Amendment, Federal District Judge John Coughenour---one of the last sitting judges appointed by the Conservative President Reagan---flummoxed the attempted Neocon power-grab, issuing a two-week restraining order pending further Judicial Review.

    “I've been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,the Judge scolded the Swamp RINOs arguing on behalf of the 'emergency decree.'

     The Order in question was part of a flurry of illegal edicts, and in this case, would empower the Executive Branch the authority to decide who is and who isn't eligible for Citizenship and, by extension, the protection of what's left of our Bill of Rights. Other edicts are being challenged as well, such as those modifying immigration criteria on ideological grounds; establishing contact-tracing and setting up new Federal Registries, building a system of Concentration Camps, authorizing the military to invade sovereign US States, sealing borders, etc. All of these things were issues that 'Conservatives' claimed to oppose when the Democrats suggested doing them during the Scamdemic. 

    Actual undesirable foreign immigrants who routinely do things like act as agents for foreign globalist governments, disseminate alien ideologies through our mass-media and buy elections are the very ones accusing other immigrants of doing what they do. None of them, of course, would be touched by any of the White House edicts.


       During the Reagan Era, characters like these were on the fringes of the Conservative Movement. Immigrants were welcomed, Neo-Nazis were shunned, and foreign Oligarchs were not allowed to run the US Government. But that was then, this now. 

      As an example of how radically things have changed, I recall Reagan giving a speech where some Leftist hecklers interrupted making the same salute that Elon Musk and other Neo-Nazis have since popularized (although they were attempting to mock Reagan). Reagan said, "If those people had their way 40 years ago, we'd be heiling a different type of National Leadership now." The hecklers were laughed out of the audience; and of course if Reagan were alive today, he'd be denounced as a 'Marxist' or a RINO-Republican, at best.

     Especially in so-called Christian Conservative circles, defending the humanity of immigrants and refugees (exempting certain ones, of course) brings down a firestorm of outrage. Recently, for defending Pope Francis' remarks on a Catholic website brought us an avalanche of Fan Mail. Here are some excerpts:

    "Clearly you are a lost leftist and ignorant about the Faith. I doubt you are even a true Catholic."

     "You've clearly drunk some hypocrisy-spiked leftwing KoolAid. Have you volunteered to take any undocumented, unvetted 'immigrants' into your home, sight unseen? You should, for the same reason. It is easy to sit back and criticize from a distance, claiming the US isn't Christian unless we let anyone walk across the border and do whatever they want, when you take zero responsibility for the outcome. That is not only foolishly ignorant, it is self-serving hypocrisy. Neither is Christian."

    "This election pitted good against evil, right against wrong, freedom against tyranny, God against Satan."

    "Jesus Christ our Lord is not quite the permissive softy you think He is. In fact, quite the contrary, like the most perfect Father He is, He does not abide breaking the law, such as illegally crossing borders, and other heinous Crimes Against Humanity."

     Actually, I seem to recall Jesus welcoming Samaritans and driving money-changers out of the Sanctuary, but postmodern Christians seem to have reversed that paradigm. Power and Wealth; Success and Force---these are the Fruits of the Spirit these days. Compassion and a desire to help the less fortunate, not so much.

DOESN'T THIS MAKE YOU FEEL CONFIDENT?

     For whatever they're worth, polls since the 'Debate Debacle' are showing surging support for the Republican figurehead and his Party. Most of the support is coming from interest-groups like the Log Cabin Republicans and Bush-Machine donors who were supporting Democrats and RINOs until the Conservative-Industrial Complex also decided to go fully 'woke.' It could be that the RNC strategy of pandering to the worst elements in human nature more efficiently than the virtue-signalling Liberal pandering is getting results. Based and Red-Pilled is only the Reactionary form of Woke and Politically-Correct; and in a system of Managed Democracy like ours, the ends always justify the means. 

   Among the Plutocracy transparently posing as Populists, Tech Lord Elon Musk and his confederate David O. Sacks are the top-level ringleaders roping in Wall Street and WEF Oligarchs for a hostile takeover of the MAGA Movement. Bolstered by servile propagandists who tell us that bowing before our betters and accepting our places as peasants and serfs is the new normal for Conservatives, the aforementioned Sacks was all over social media venues this weekend praising all of the Billionaires who've joined in the effort to replay the 2000 Elections and seat a Neocon on the Royal Throne. There too was no shortage of potential courtiers praising all of this.


     Sacks shamelessly said on one these podcasts---in what has to be a textbook example of psychological projection (or blatant hypocrisy) that: "The Democratic Party is a collection of interests who want to remain in power. The Democratic Party is the party of government. Its goal is to allocate money and power from the government to the collection of interests who backed the Democratic Party. In other words, it’s basically a collection of, of interests who want to loot the Republic."

   I have no argument with that definition of the Democrats, but to try and pretend that it doesn't define the Republicans just as precisely is to ignore reality. Republican Administrations and Republican Congresses have presided over the most massive wealth-transfers in US History from the productive class to wealthy parasites since the first Bush Administration abandoned Reaganomics---a policy which actually did benefit the working class. 

   There has been effusive fawning online over some new Plutocrats who've come on board. For example, Doug Leone, CEO of Sequoia Capital which bankrolls some of the most predatory corporations on Wall Street---many of whom are government contractors themselves. Leone made a bundle off the Scamdemic as part of Trump's COVID Task Force, and later threw Trump under the bus after the January 6th protests. Sequoia Capital is heavily invested in Tik-Tok and pushed for the forced sale of that venue to cash in on "the smooth sale to a US Corporation." Steve Mnuchin, another of Trump's Cabinet who baled out on him, is part of a consortium angling to take over Tik-Tok

   Another sterling character praised by the True Believers for returning to the GOP fold is Stephen Schwarzman of whom one said, with wholly unintentional irony, "has made a sharp U-Turn and is now Kissing that Beautiful round Orange Ass of Donald Trump too." Schwarzman is CEO of the Blackstone Group, a WEF Partner which has been heavily involved in promoting 'Smart Cities.' Schwarzman is himself a WEF member, and deeply connected to the Bush Machine and Neocon Establishment


  These developments don't exactly restore much confidence here that the next Republican Administration will represent the largely-disenfranchised American people as much as the Controlled Opposition Media would like to claim. As one of Sacks' fundraisers put it, "
Donald J. Trump is the real deal. Put your money where it will do the best for you and this country." The problem with this statement is that what is best for the Corporate Deep State and what is best for the country are mutually exclusive. I think that it's a safe bet which of the two is going to have precedence over the other when it comes to the Plutocracy. 

   It would be interesting to hear from the True Believers any good reason as to how the support of these unaccountable Robber Barons in any way benefits the Conservative Movement. It seems though that 'Joe Biden Sucks' is about as deep as their reasoning goes, so the proponents of the Great Reset may just see more gullible pigeons on the Right than on the Left.

THIS REALLY ISN'T HELPING...

      Besides their continual distortion of the news---or, to put in Postmodern newspeak terms, controlling the narrative, the Neo-Marxist wing of the Uniparty often rewrites history to conform to their agendas. Lately, however, the newly-woke Right has---as they increasingly are doing---adopted the tactics of the Radical Left. Like American Liberals, they have abandoned any commitment to principles or ideology and tailored their marketing approach to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Juneteenth, or as it is officially known, Juneteenth National Independence Day is a prime example. Passed over the objection of barely a dozen Republicans---in fact it was introduced by Bush Machine toady Sen. John Cornyn---it is now being promoted by the Woke Right.  

     We shouldn't be surprised. In a political atmosphere where owning the opposition and selling a message is a greater priority than addressing issues or defending ideals, we should expect this. Historical Revisionism and changing facts to fit an agenda is the New Normal. These days, whenever Reality conflicts with personal ambition we simply change the reality: problem solved. 

    In the normal course of human development, infants and small children have the same flawed view of the world. Civilizing and maturing involves accepting the reality that others exist and have needs and interests too. Due largely to American parents' it takes a village approach to child-rearing, many in our postmodern dystopia never reach that level and long to return to childhood. This is one of the psycho-social reasons for our culture's indifference to actual children and its especial hatred for teenagers and young adults: in the first case, children are competition and in the second, maturing is something that American adults fear. 

   A society like this might function tolerably well under a Monarchy where the king is the father-figure and the Church is the mother-figure, but it is a dangerous tendency in self-governing republics. Partisans of both sides look for leadership that reflects the type of parents they had (or wish they had). Thus, the Whacko Left is drawn to passive father-figures who are indulgent (e.g. Barack Obama, Bill Gates) and shrewish disciplinarian mother-figures (e.g. Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi). Their counterparts on the Right seek it in weak but posturing Alpha 'superman' father-figures (e.g. Ron DeSantis, George Bush) and 80s-style 'Supermom' types (e.g. Sarah Palin, Kari Lake) as surrogate mothers. 

   Fantasies and fairy-tales make up a good part of the child's world; in a culture of half-grown manchildren, that's really what controlling the narrative is all about. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, the uncrowned queen of the prairie-muffin trad-moms, has been spinning a few yarns lately assuring those on the Right that she's not squeamish about shooting dogs and that our dad can beat up their dad. 


    Recently, Governor Noem penned an article explaining why Biden was a weenie on foreign policy and why we need a manly Alpha leader to take charge again. Her argument mostly focused on Iran (Arab men have held an especial fixation for these types for a long time). Regardless of her views on the subject, the main problem with her article is that so much of it was simply not true. For example, she claims that Trump defeated ISIS (not true, ISIS was defeated by a Coalition that specifically excluded the US). She claims that Trump killed ISIS leader al-Baghdadi. Though Trump took credit for that, it was like bin Laden's alleged death, never officially proven and disputed by various sources closer to the scene. She claims that Iran would never launch retaliatory strikes as they recently did with Israel under Trump: even though Iran did in fact launch such a strike---against an American base at that. 

   Governor Noem also praises a cruise-missile strike against Syria for allegedly 'crossing a red line and using poison gas' without mentioning that Trump was credulously acting on intelligence fabricated by the Soros-backed White Helmets. She also fails to mention that the second time Trump tried it, Syria had been reinforced with Russian-made anti-ballistic systems which shot down all but three of the incoming Patriot missile barrage. 

   The Governor also scolds Biden for his 'weakness' in withdrawing from Afghanistan and his increasing failure to hold on to US positions in Iraq and Syria: as if 20+ years of American occupation, corruption and arrogance was welcomed and appreciated by the people of those countries; and that only Biden's weak will is responsible for any of the backlash. This is overlooking the fact that every president since Bush Jr. has been dealing with 'insurgencies' and every time they double-down with more force, the Resistance grows stronger. Her whole article seems to imply that if Trump is re-elected, our Military magically will somehow reincarnate into what it was under the Reagan Administration. She seems to forget that Reagan's use of the military never involved concepts like nation-building, regime change, or exporting democracy. Reagan's philosophy was that the Military should be strong enough to defend America: not the interests of the New World Order crowd and global crony-capitalism. 

    The idea that America made itself strong by ruling through fear is a concept that came in with the Bush/Clinton Era ideology of the Pax Americana. America's strength historically lay in the fact that, while we were willing and able to defend ourselves, we represented a haven and an oasis from the chaos and tyranny going on abroad. We typically never engaged in conflicts abroad unless they represented an actual threat---either territorially or by treaty---to those under American protection. It was generally understood, and even taught in schools back then, that a Regime which had to resort to fear and deception to hold power was by definition a tyranny. 

   That was then, of course, this is now. Kristi Noem once showed some potential in her stand---alone among so-called 'Conservative' governors---against the Scamdemic hysteria and her categorical stands against innovations like abortion-as-a-right and homo 'equality.' But she is the governor of a largely rural state with a population smaller than many American counties and she is wholly out of her depth on national and international issues. Much like Sarah Palin did before her; she's merely absorbing the talking-points of the Conservative-Industrial Complex and repeating them uncritically because she's appealing to audience which listens to them uncritically. 

   This approach really isn't helping our cause. Not only is it fundamentally dishonest, but the falsehoods of these narratives are so transparent that they are going to be torn to shreds once the campaign actually goes into high-gear after the party conventions. I'm not even a Biden supporter and I have written several articles showing how easily these Narratives can be debunked: just imagine what skilled political operatives are going to do with them. I still hold to the prediction that support for the GOP is going to tank radically after this Summer and with or without electoral fraud the Republicans are going to get wiped out in November and they'll have no one to blame but themselves when that happens.

AGAINST FASCISM AND WAR

     In an article commemorating the end of the Second World War, former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev warned the world about resurgent Naziism and its rise in the formerly-democratic Western countries. Medvedev's article came against the backdrop of the ongoing campaign in Ukraine, the Zionists' Final Solution being implemented in Palestine, and the WEF-backed suppression of Free Speech in the US and its satellite states. 

   "Nazism won’t disappear on its own and therefore needs to be eradicated – this is what Russia sees as its historical mission. Russia’s military operation and the denazification of Ukraine is only the first step towards building a new architecture of international relations, which would involve creating global instruments aiming to ensure the security and stable development of all states. Together with our colleagues and partners, we are building a new, just, and multi-polar world order in which there can be no place for pressure and oppression, the rise of some nations at the expense of others, humiliation and exploitation of entire peoples, neocolonial habits and criminal business schemes," Medvedev wrote. 

   The former Russian president alluded to the "reincarnation of Naziism" which imitates the spirit of the former ideology without its outward trappings. The new Nazi spirit is more refined and can masquerade as 'democracy' while substituting hypocritical 'woke' ideology to camouflage the more overt Racialism advocated in the past. 'National Security' has also replaced irredentism, police-state suppression, and censorship in Naziism's new form, while 'population control' is a substitute term for Eugenics and racial purification. The concept of the Master Race of old Naziism today finds its expression less in racial superiority than in economic power. The old Militarism is still present, though not infrequently disguised as internal social conflicts

    The new Nazi spirit has, since the Color Revolution which installed America's current 'Presidential Administration' been moving inexorably towards the formation of a One-Party State. There are two factions of this Uniparty, which only differ in degree of totalitarian extent and which social interest group should be favored. The Biden/Harris Junta's cynical decision to pause arms sales facilitating the Zionist Regime's extermination of the indigenous Palestinian people met with an equal burst of hypocritical outrage from the Controlled Opposition. Arkansas Senator and homicidal maniac Tom Cotton introduced another fake legal proceeding against the Junta on the grounds that Biden's decision would impede the slaughter of more people; but there were further Nazi-like actions spawned from the decision. Republican Great Poobah Mitch McConnell issued a terroristic threat of his own---signed onto by a dozen or so other RINOs against the International Criminal Court. Slimy trial lawyer Alan Dershowitz has organized a massive 'lawfare' campaign against critics of Neocon policy, as well as lobbying for federal funding to be eliminated against any educational institution deviating from the Party Line. Only a few writers have noticed that the Conservative-Industrial Complex has put far more energy into defending the Zionists than it has defending President-in-Exile Trump

    Yesterday, Neo-Fascist Senators Marcia Blackburn and Roger Marshall began pushing a Bill to designate dissidents as terrorists subjecting them to federal harassment. Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles---who once said of the deaths of Gazan children that “I think we should kill them all, if that makes you feel better," introduced a Bill calling for the deportation of students engaged in "any unlawful activity on the campus of an institution of higher education beginning on and after October 7, 2023,” rather ominously not specifically mentioning the ongoing student protests. Sadly, the postmodern American Conservatives, for the most part, fail to see anything Nazi-like in any of this. 


    The Postmodern Conservative has developed a massive case of Cognitive Dissonance and overall breakdown of ideology which began during the Bush years, enabling them at the time to believe that shredding the Constitution was the best way of preserving it. Over the past three decades, Conservatism has degenerated to the degree that it is no longer recognizable. It's the old story rewritten. The original Nazis of the last century were nothing but a reactionary movement against Communism which advocated saving the nation from the Bolshevik threat by exceeding in its brutality and extremism the very thing that it claimed to oppose. Today's Conservatism is reactionary Neoliberalism which seeks to stop the Great Reset by co-opting it and proving that they can be as ruthless and authoritarian as postmodern Liberals, if not more so. 

   Lost in all of this is the direction that Conservatives were taking in the mid-20th Century, highlighted by the presidency of Ronald Reagan. Conservatism's goal was to bring back the Federal Government to its constitutional limitations and reform a bureaucracy which had grown arrogant and ossified since its inception under the New Deal. The Neoconservatism brought in under Bush took an entirely different approach: institutionalizing the bureaucracy as a Deep State and enshrining power for its own sake as the American Ideal. 

   In the 2010s, the Neocons' repeated failures created dissent among Conservatives, and the Republican leadership, with the help of Silicon Valley Tech Lords, created a faction within itself of so-called Neoreactionaries or the Alternative Right; much like the Neoliberal Democrats did creating a fake 'Democratic Socialist' faction of ultra-Radical Whacko Left extremists. The Republican version of this fraud is increasingly becoming more overt in its Neo-Nazi tendencies, and just as phony as its 1930s predecessors about saving the country or any other such nonsense. 

   We're not going to turn things around by substituting woke Conservatism for woke Liberalism. Under our current system of staged adversarial politics, the Corporate Oligarchs win either way and the nation as a whole loses.

ACADEMIC MAFIA CAUGHT IN PRICE-FIXING SCAM

    In yet another story discreetly glossed over by the Corporate Media, the once-prestigious University of Chicago became the first of 16 'elite' American universities to fork over its share of one the largest class-action lawsuits against Academia Inc in history. The lawsuit focused on a now-defunct shady cartel known as the 568 Presidents Group, which was named for Section 568 of a Clinton-Era Law, the Improving America's School Act of 1994. The ostensible purpose of that Act was to promote diversity and was one of the cornerstones and is one of the cornerstones of the Leftist/Corporate takeovers of Academia.

   Section 568 of the law grew out of an Antitrust Act enforcement begun late in the Reagan Administration---the last presidential administration to take on corruption in Academia. At that time, 57 schools were charged with price-fixing tuition and  financial aid thresholds to suppress competition in enrollment. The new act codified the settlement of the Antitrust Case making it illegal for two or more institutions to award financial aid solely on the basis of need; employ the same standards for determining need; use a common application form; and engage in data-sharing of admissions standards. As is typical of Postmodern Academia, the institutional leadership soon figured out a system for circumventing the law; outsourcing criteria to an 'independent' front-company which they actually controlled. 

    


    Well, scratch a modern academic and usually you find a crook. Imagining that today's Academia will police itself is like turning a city police department over to an organized crime syndicate. The $13.5 million that Chicago was obliged to shell out is, of course, a pittance to the bloated budgets that these enterprises maintain; but if there's one thing that hurts a school administrator's ego worse than anything is being told that they are wrong---and it's worse when it costs them money in any amount. 

    The 'elite' colleges named are: Brown University; Cal Tech; University of Chicago; Columbia University; Cornell; DartmouthDuke University; Emory; Georgetown University; MIT; Northwestern; Notre Dame; University of Pennsylvania; Rice; Vanderbilt; and Yale. All of them have significant ties to the US Deep State and are funded in varying degrees by the notorious woke Great Reset front-group, Open Philanthropy

   "The lawsuit claimed that these schools had participated in an alleged “price-fixing cartel,” aimed at diminishing competition in the realm of financial aid. This alleged cartel was accused of artificially inflating the net cost of attendance for financially aided students, while favoring wealthier applicants." This is really the most important point that came out of this case. The whole impetus behind lowering the standards to accommodate all of these phony 'diversity' and 'inclusion' programs was a complete scam: it was about lowering standards so that more of the so-called 'elites' had access to them. The result of the whole scam was to marginalize Middle Class non-minorities. The power-base was made more secure by these programs, not less. 

   Unfortunately, when Whacko Left Wing activists get exposed as dupes and chumps they tend to double-down instead of wising-up. They protest and scream even harder for the same policies which entrench the established Class and discriminate against themselves. This is the whole secret behind why the Great Reset Oligarchs all favor 'woke' policies. In private, they laugh in their sleeves over this faux-progressive nonsense; but they promote it because it creates a massive pool of useful idiots (who never learn from their mistakes) for them to draw upon whenever they feel the need to pretend that they have popular support. 

  Much like the recent Court decisions on abortion and affirmative-action, this decision is a minor nuisance to the Oligarchs and won't change their behavior to any significant degree. But to those who actually take notice of the depths of the Swamp, it's a further indication of how pervasive corruption our Culture really is, and the degree to which moneyed interests pull the strings.
