Sally Quinn, one of the deepest of Deep-State denizens still haunting the Beltway Swamp, has published a new book in which she admits to practicing Satanic Black Magic and "feeling nauseated" in the presence of Sacraments. The book is titled Finding Magic: a Spiritual Memoir. In portions of it, she describes killing three people through use of Satanist maledictions and jokingly told sympathetic media fools that she's considered killing President Trump in this fashion.
"You can't imagine the number of people who have asked me to put a hex on Donald Trump." she boasted, "I mean, I have friends lined up."
Oh, really? Well, that statement certainly implies that a number of people in Quinn's circle of friends must share her Satanic beliefs. And more troubling is that Quinn is considered the queen of DC social life. In other words, the Deep State elites are, by Quinn's own admission, a veritable coven of warlocks and witches.
Quinn incidentally is also the Spiritual Affairs Editor at the fake-news factory, The Washington Post. Once again, we see kinds of people whom the Corporate Media chooses as its spiritual and moral leaders.
Few people are aware of the extent to which dangerous cults have infiltrated so-called 'Elite Society'. This isn't conjecture: it's often---as in Quinn's case---by their own admission. The Scientology Cult boasts about prominent public figures within its ranks. Any search engine quest for 'Famous Scientologists' will turn up a surprising list of well-known names. The Moonie Cult and its various affiliates and fronts own several media outlets outright and have sat on policy-making boards in the UN and both the American and South Korean governments. The Satanists are little more shady and more difficult to define; but we've seen similar allusions to Quinn's released by WikiLeaks in the Podesta Files. False neo-Christian cultists turn up in publications like The Huffington Post preaching the 'Queer Christ' and other blasphemies. It was also well known that several officials connected to the Obama Administration were at least in sympathy with the Wahhabi and Salafist Cults which have deviated from mainstream Islam.
Liberals who have read this far are probably rolling their eyes, but we challenge you to stop and think: How do you, as part of an atheistic and 'progressive' movement really feel about your own leaders running around bowing to Satan and working Black Magic? You might answer: "Well, those things don't exist, in my opinion." Fair enough: but doesn't it bother you that your so-called Freedom from Religion is being orchestrated by people who pray to the Prince of Darkness?
It seems to our minds that any honest Liberal would have to admit that he gets a fairer deal with Conservative Christians. At least we claim Saints and Angels; the other side thinks it's doing the bidding of demons.
During the era of the Deep State, government officials often passed exclusive contracts for public services onto shady contractors---typically someone politically connected to them. State and Federal correctional facilities were especially vulnerable to this predatory practice.
The FBI announced today that Eric Kindley, head of a prison-transport company operating in California and Arizona, was indicted today for raping three female prisoners at gunpoint on three separate occasions. The FBI is investigating whether other assaults may have taken place.
According to the indictment, Kindley would restrain his victims, drive to a secluded location and rape them. Not only did he threaten them with a firearm; he threatened them with consequences if they exposed what he had done. If convicted, Kindley faces a life sentence.
Kindley and his business practices have had a longstanding and dubious reputation. This naturally didn't prevent equally dubious bureaucrats from 'outsourcing' to him. In 2010, an employee of Kindley's was also arrested by the FBI for raping a female prisoner. In 2008, Kindley was indicted for illegally ordering an employee to take a firearm on an airplane, but was acquitted.
During the Obama Administration, former DOJ head Loretta Lynch was summoned before Congress and questioned about abuses in the prison-transport industry. Under Lynch's term alone, five inmates died during transport in private company services. In 2000, Congress passed a law regulating these companies; but the Deep State recorded only one enforcement action until this year.
The Trump Administration, however, has taken a different approach. Kindley was initially arrested as part of probe initiated by Jeff Sessions on the conditions of private transportation services.
Although our government has always done business with private contractors, the outsourcing of essential government services is a recent innovation and not even a Conservative policy at all. It was promoted heavily by the Clinton Administration as a 'Government-Business Partnership' in which for-profit companies carried out government policies. This is actually a species of economic Fascism and not market-based competitive contracting---as our government has traditionally done. The Neocons and the Swamp-RINOs in the Bush Administration expanded the policy exponentially. Obama even brought non-profits and NGOs into the equation.
President Trump hasn't expressed a position on outsourcing correctional programs, but his tendency seems to be to restore these positions to the public sector---where they actually belong. So far his financial allocations to state and local law enforcement have been almost exclusively geared to enhancing the public sector. This is how it should be. The reason that this is the Conservative position is because law enforcement and corrections need to be held accountable to the public and be transparent. For-profit companies and NGOs cannot provide this kind of public oversight. Not to mention that accountability to shareholders and to taxpayers are two entirely different things.
Government contracting to profit-driven companies has its place in a Free Market; but convicts are legally speaking wards of the State. Thus the State has a fiduciary and legal responsibility for them. Those of the Kindley stripe, obviously care little for that.
Pharmaceutical giant Galena Biopharma agreed today in an out-of-court settlement to pay nearly $8 million in fines relating to a scheme to push Opioid drugs. Galena is currently the subject of various other lawsuits, mostly dealing with stock-market violations during the time in question.
Galena formerly marketed a drug called Abstral, which is composed of the Opioid derivative, Fentanyl. Fentanyl is one of the most dangerous Opioids when 'misused'. It is highly addictive and even slight overdoses can be fatal. Fentanyl was even banned in China earlier this year, after their Ministry of Health determined that the drug's potential side-effects outweighed its medicinal benefits.
Federal prosecutors allege that Galena paid a variety of bribes and kickbacks to corrupt physicians to induce them to prescribe Abstral. These included paying 'speaking fees' and paid-vacations to Galena-hosted events; free meals to doctors and staff based on the numbers of prescriptions they wrote; and paying doctors to refer patients to Galena's customer-database. In one case, Galena paid $92,000 in 'rebates' to a physician-owned clinic to induce prescriptions.
In May, two physicians were sentenced to over 20 years in prison for their part in this same scandal. The two operated a pill-mill and even bought $1.6 million in Galena stocks. According to FDA guidelines, Abstral prescriptions are limited to "breakthrough cancer pain in opioid-tolerant adults." These two worthies, however, prescribed it for joint, neck, and back pain, according to the indictment. Even the Obama Administration once investigated them because---for three straight fiscal quarters---they had the first and second highest number of Fentanyl prescriptions in the US. According a shareholders' suit filed against Galena, 9 of every 10 prescriptions from these doctors were for Fentanyl-based drugs.
How many unsuspecting patients became opioid-addicts because of these activities? No one knows for certain. The fines that Galena paid today are only related to their violations of the Medicare False Claims Act. If it were up to us, these kinds of companies would be liquidated and, after their outstanding debts were satisfied, any money left over would go into drug-rehabilitation clinics. Galena has not officially admitted to guilt in any of these proceedings.
This is the kind of corruption that has to be stamped out. Thankfully, the new Administration is committed to draining swamps of these kind. And an honorable mention needs to go to whistleblower Lynne Dougherty of California who exposed the scheme, and won over $1 million as part of the settlement.
There was interesting article a few days ago on the discussion forum Metabunk dealing with a 1962 meeting between William F. Buckley and GOP leaders on how to deal with the John Birch Society---the Red Pill/Alt-RINOs of their day---who were spreading absurd conspiracy theories about contemporary political figures. Since, as regular readers know, we're huge fans of the late W.F. Buckley, the article naturally caught our attention.
Mick West, the author, had several quotes from Buckley, including one important one we'd forgotten. When asked about conspiracy theories, Buckley replied:
"The logical fallacy involved is that one can infer subjective intention from objective consequence. For example: we lost China to the Communists; therefore the President of the United States and the Secretary of State wished a Communist takeover in China."
Buckley called this type of reasoning The Objective Fallacy. It's good to keep this definition in mind---especially at times like the 9/11 Anniversary. The difference between genuine conspiracies and conspiracy theories often hinge upon the very inference that Buckley describes. And, of course, it's not only the Far Right who engage in this type of thinking: the Radical Left practically thrives on it.
Contrary to what Media nitwits tell us, large-scale criminal conspiracies are vulnerable to detection because keeping activities secret is much more difficult in a large organization. This is especially true in a relatively transparent society like the US; a little more complicated in groups like Al-Qaeda, where terror and fanaticism are employed to prevent such disclosures. But even so, it's not impossible to infiltrate such groups. Fanatics are known to shift loyalties easily, and there are always a few who'll bend principles for a price.
On 9/11, Al-Qaeda followed the classic pattern of criminal conspiracies everywhere: motive + intention + opportunity = action. Their motive was to end US support for the Saudi Regime which was an obstacle to their goal of a Wahhabi coup in that country. The intention was to cause an incident that would break the US-Saudi Alliance. The opportunity was that the Bush Administration was new and hadn't corrected the security deficiencies of the Clinton Administration. 9/11 was the result.
But when employing the Objective Fallacy, we have to assume that the Bush Administration both executed 9/11 and successfully kept their involvement a secret from political opponents, foreign governments, and a hostile Media. Or else believe that their opponents were really their confederates. Aside from the impossibility of this; every theory about Bush involvement in 9/11 fails the classic pattern of conspiracies referenced above. While opportunity is a given, due to their positions in government, intention and motive are far less clear.
Especially this is so at the originating point of motive. Nearly every motive given by 9/11 'truthers' could have been achieved without the 9/11 attacks---and in fact achieved more easily. Bush wanted a pretext for war? Just two years earlier, Clinton gulled the American people into a war in Kosovo without any false-flags. Bush wanted a pretext to seize absolute power? Obviously, that never happened so it couldn't have been his intention. Bush wanted to steal foreign oil? Venezuela is closer to the US than Iraq, has more oil, and we had a better reason for invading it. There were things inside the WTC that Bush wished destroyed? The government has plenty of Black Ops capable of stealing such things without detection. And so on.
This is another problem with the Objective Fallacy---one has to reverse the formula for conspiracies and reason from action to motive instead of the other way around. In real life, professional investigators always start at 'who had a motive?' It's fairly clear that on 9/11 Al-Qaeda had a motive; Bush's motives---not so much.
The purpose here is not to fight 9/11 all over again, but to keep Buckley's maxim in mind when we hear similar stories. There's enough real criminal activity going on both within and without the Government to keep us busy without chasing after phantoms.
The Leftist leadership in California have long been in denial about the severity of the narcotics epidemic in their state. The Northern part of the state has been particularly hard-hit. However, when President Trump recently allocated a $485 million program to fight this national problem, California was earmarked for almost 10% of the total budget. Two reports from Federal authorities illustrate why.
The FDA issued a report this week on Opioid prescription abuse in California. Five counties in the north actually had more Opioid prescriptions than county residents. Fourteen others had per capita prescription rates higher than the State average.
According to the Sacramento Bee, there were 1,925 Opioid overdose fatalities in California last year. Almost 15% of Californians are taking Opioid prescriptions, and the numbers are almost twice that in the most badly-affected counties.
The CDC states that Opioids are the second-most abused narcotic in the US, with Marijuana in first place. Marijuana is legally cultivated in California, but there are illegal operations all over the state. The FBI estimates that 90% of illegal marijuana comes from California. Regulated Marijuana has strict quality-control standards; that sold on the Black Market is often adulterated with other narcotics, or contains toxic levels of pesticides, or both.
In Northern California, drug pushers often take advantage of the vast state and national forests to conceal their operations. The EPA this week issued a report showing that water pollution in the region has reached critical levels. Local ranchers and farmers have reported livestock illnesses have increased from drinking contaminated water; and last month, two policemen and a police dog were hospitalized after coming in contact with a cesspool from an illegal Marijuana operation.
Mourad Gabriel, who inspected raided operations with the EPA told reporters that the waters and grounds are saturated with chemical pesticides such as Carbofuran and Diazinol, Both are banned in the United States for food and tobacco crops, and banned completely by the European Union. If in ingested or inhaled through smoking, both can cause symptoms similar to botulism and death/coma in sufficient dosages.
Gabriel noted that residuals in the ground are almost impossible to remove and may stay present in waters and soil for years before nature takes its course. Forest Service Rangers have pointed out that sportsmen who kill wild game face safety issues---not only from eating contaminated meat and fish, but because of the potential of encountering heavily-armed thugs in the deep woods.
It's clear from these two reports that California has a serious problem; and the first step to solving it is acknowledging its existence. The State Government really cannot deny the problem any longer and they should start cooperating with the Trump Administration to resolve it. But instead, the State Attorney-General announced on Friday that he planned to sue the Administration over DACA; and anti-Trump riots broke out in the Bay Area and Sacramento once again. Given that these are two of the worst-hit cities by the narcotics epidemic, the motives for their opposition to Trump is self-evident.
President Trump's nominee for a federal judgeship met with hostile anti-Catholic rhetoric when appearing before a Senate Confirmation Hearing on Wednesday. Amy Barrett, the nominee, is a law professor at Notre Dame and former law clerk to the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia died under mysterious circumstances on a Texas ranch in 2016.
Senator Diane Feinstein ambushed Mrs. Barrett---who incidentally is a mother of seven children---by accusing her of putting "dogma over law".
"You are controversial," Feinstein sneered, "because many of us who have really lived our lives as women recognize the value of finally being able to control our reproductive systems...when I read your speeches, the conclusion I draw is that Dogma lives loudly within you, and that is of concern."
What a place we've come to in America when living one's faith is 'cause for concern' among American Senators. Never mind that feminist crackpots like Feinstein have made the right to choose practically a dogma from which no woman dares dissent. But maybe we should expect this from Feinstein. She used to be an official in a city that looks like this:
Such are specimens of Feinstein's constituency. No wonder they hate and fear the Church.
Senator Richard Durbin, a 'Cafeteria Catholic' from Illinois chimed in as well. "I'm the product of 19 years of Catholic education. And every once in awhile, Holy Mother the Church does not agree with a vote of mine." (Actually, this happens quite frequently); "You use a term in that article that I've never heard before. You refer to 'orthodox Catholics'. What is an orthodox Catholic? Do you consider yourself one?"
Durbin is another multimillionaire politician whose wife works for a political consulting firm. Most of his top campaign donors are legal firms that specialize in suing hospitals and filing class-action lawsuits; as well as insurers who cover abortions. His Catholic education did him little good if he doesn't know what orthodoxy refers to. He represents a state with a growing White Supremacist, anti-Catholic population.
The antics of these two drew denunciations from Catholic leaders, including John Garvey, Chancellor at Catholic University of America, who once worked with Mrs. Barrett. And indeed it is an egregious example of some of the worst Catholic-baiting since President Kennedy ran for election in 1960.
Senators Feinstein and Durbin should be reprimanded by the Senate and forced to abstain from voting on future Catholic nominees. But whether the RINOs in the Senate will go that far is doubtful.
It has been a rough last month for Red Pill Cult leader Vox Day. First, Castalia House, his outsourced publishing front organization was humiliated at the Hugo Awards; finishing below the 'None of the Above' option on all ballots. Then, after building up the Charlottesville Unite the Right Rally, he did backflips trying to escape culpability for the disaster.
Vox is having another online tantrum, this time over some comments posted about him on Gab. Gab is a site much like Twitter; and is billed as an alternative site with minimal restrictions on content. Alt-RINO trolls who get kicked off Twitter frequently go to Gab; and Vox has been a huge advocate of the site.
But recently Vox himself has become a target of online trolls: apparently the handiwork of former confederates of his who've become disgruntled at Vox' poltroonery in the Charlottesville controversy. Here are three posts that have him outraged, part of a conversation between Gab members Silverdawn and Fabius Maximus PRO:
"Everyone stay away from Vox Day. He is a faggot Talmudic half-Jew, half-Mexican pedophile pretending to be white."
"I heard that Vox Day is a known pedophile who's viewed more prepubescent boys online than viewers to his own site. Sad."
"Why do you follow a pedophile? Are you a pedophile too?"
Vox indignantly denied these allegations, but he went even further. He demanded that Gab not only take down the alleged slanders, but also to turn over to him account information on the principals involved. Given Vox' own long history of doxxing, trolling, and harassing enemies of his, Gab refused to comply.
Upon discovering that Gab wouldn't do for him what he criticized Twitter for doing---and treating him like any other Gab customer---Vox flew into a heated rage and began scribbling off a few anti-Gab posts liberally salted with threats of legal action.
It's interesting that just a few days ago, Vox had an online battle with a supporter of Antifa. Vox was accused of spreading fake memes falsely attributed to Antifa. On Twitter, the Antifa people pointed out that the memes were forgeries; but Vox continued to post them because "the most effective rhetoric communicates truth without being literally truthful in the details." This is a sophistry that essentially means that Truth is a morally relative and subjective concept: something that the Cultural Marxists also believe.
And now that Vox is getting a dose of his own medicine, he's bellowing like a bull with a bad case of colic. It shows again that the Alt-RINOs only care about Freedom when it benefits them.
