The Sessions Steamroller strikes again: this time in Houston. One of the biggest Opioid trafficking rings in the South-Central states went down in flames on Thursday. This case was remarkable for the effort the FBI put into smashing it because it was a highly secretive enterprise in its operation and a particularly ruthless one in its execution.
Dr. Gazelle Craig and Clinic Manager Shane Faithful of Houston were found guilty of running a criminal enterprise under the guise of a clinic. They operated the now-defunct Gulfton Community Health Center which was essentially nothing but a front for narcotics trafficking.
Craig wrote prescriptions for the Opioids Hydrocodone and Carisporodal; which in combination are said by experts to have no known medical benefit in combination. However, the second drug enhances the strength of the first when used for 'recreational' purposes. She prescribed to nearly 20,000 users over 5 million doses.
As if this wasn't bad enough: Faithful employed what's known in underworld parlance as 'bird-dogs'. These are people who actually went out looking for drug addicts and steering them to Gulfton Clinic. The addicts got a prescription for $300---which was always paid in cash---and the FBI stated that Craig and Faithful would split the profits. The FBI said further that these profits averaged about $1,500 per day.
The Clinic had no surveillance system and employed local thugs as 'security guards'. Cellphones, cameras, etc. were forbidden in the clinic and 'security' would remove anybody who wasn't 'invited.' Sessions didn't say how the operation was eventually infiltrated, but probably involved an agent posing as an addict.
"In this case, tens of thousands of pills flooded our streets because of the defendants' actions." Sessions told the Corporate Media (which of course ignored the story). "We will never know for certain the scale of the damage done."
Just as a side note, this is third multi-million dollar drug ring brought down that was obtaining narcotics through Obamacare. Obama denied that there was any fraud going on in the system. Sessions mentioned that since January 2017, over 3,500 arrests have been made and over $12.5 billion recovered from abuses in Obamacare.
There's another round of Catholic bashing making viral rounds on both the extreme Left and extreme Right. This is based on a fake news story from the leftist Italian journal La Repubblica claiming that Pope Francis denied the existence of Hell.
The back-story to this is that a 93 year-old atheist named Eugenio Scalfari---who is a leading Italian media figure---met with Pope Francis and that the Pope made this denial. Despite their obvious political and spiritual differences, Francis and Scalfari have known each other for years and have been in frequent communications. Here is what the Vatican said in response to Scalfari's claim:
"The Holy Father Francis recently received the founder of the newspaper 'La Repubblica in a private meeting for the Easter holiday, without however giving him any interviews. What is reported by the author in today's article is the result of his reconstruction, in which the literal words of the Pope were not quoted. No quotation of the aforementioned article must be considered attributable to the words of the Holy Father."
This isn't even the first time that Scalfari has faked quotes from Pope Francis. In 2013, he was obliged to issue a retraction of some of the Pope's statements and in 2015 was caught lying and corrected by the Vatican again. Fake news about Pope Francis is about as common in the Leftist media as their lies about President Trump and Vladimir Putin are. In 2014, it had reached such a point that the then-Vatican Press Secretary Father Lombardi issued the following decree:
"If there are no words published by the Holy See Press Office and there are no words officially confirmed, then these reporters and writers must take full responsibility for what they say and write."
We expect fake news and outright lying from the Left. But coming from the fake Right it must be denounced. We've pointed out on several occasions that the Alt-RINO/Red Pill crowd is deeply anti-Catholic. This fake news about Francis spread like wildfire on supposedly Conservative radio, blogs, and news agencies.
The story gained a lot of traction from the outlets of the so-called Media Research Center run by a phony Catholic named Brent Bozell. Bozell himself has been caught in multiple acts of journalistic dishonesty. The very fact that he would quote a Leftist writer who'd been exposed as a fraud before to attack Pope Francis shows that he---like many other Alt-RINOs---are motivated more by their hatred of the Vatican than promoting the Conservative agenda. And that agenda includes Freedom of Religion, by the way.
The bottom-line here is that Francis is not "Lenin's Pope" (a meme coined by Catholic-hater Michael Savage); nor is he an antipope or the Antichrist because of his position on global warming and immigration. The Alt-RINOs and the Red Pills oppose Catholicism for the same reason that the Cultural Marxists do: because Catholics recognize a power higher the State and an ideology higher than the spouting of paid pundits. As Harry Truman said, "Faith is the foundation of our democracy."
The recent decision of a handful of Western countries---including the US and Canada---to expel Russian diplomats has had only a minimal impact in geopolitics, despite the flurry of fake-news surrounding the story. The expulsion did cause considerable indignation in Russia---coinciding with a National Day of Mourning declared by President Putin following a deadly catastrophe in Kemerevo on Sunday.
The Trump Administration expelled 60 diplomats. The whole action, though, was based on the fake-news that Russia assassinated a former spy in Britain. This story has been debunked several times. It's about as credible a story as the allegations alleging Russian involvement in the 2016 Elections.
This has been a serious problem within the Trump Administration. The worst decision that Trump has made was ordering a cruise-missile strike on Syria last Spring---during an official visit with the President of China, no less. That was based on the fake-news that the Syrian Air Force used chemical weapons against civilians. The chemical weapons nonsense was always a fraud. Syria never signed the UN treaty banning chemical weapons; but we never hear that small detail mentioned by the Corporate Media.
We've also exposed several incidents of fake news---or at least news from very dubious sources---about North Korea. The Trump Administration came within a hairs-breadth of war with that country last year.
Here's the problem: fake-news served the interests, agendas and objectives of the Obama, Bush, and Clinton Administrations quite admirably. The fake stories about Serbian atrocities; the phony WMD-menace from Iraq; the Arab Spring; the Maidan Uprising in Ukraine: all of these were distractions calculated to distract Americans from problems at home and to advance the vested financial interests of the Deep State abroad.
The Trump Administration has to understand this---that the day and purposes of American military intervention abroad is over. We need to invest in our defense and security. Countries like Serbia, Bosnia, Iraq, and Libya were no threat to the US then; and countries like Yemen, Iran, and North Korea aren't today. The only countries really capable of fighting the US in a head-on war are Russia, China, and possibly India. And all three of these countries would prefer peaceful co-existence and free-trade to war.
In other words, Trump needs to start applying the same skills and out-of-the-box thinking in foreign policy that he's used so successfully in domestic policy. Forget the Pax Americana nonsense pushed by the Clintonistas and the RINOs. We have to look to our own affairs first: and an alliance with the other world powers would facilitate that tremendously.
The latest fashionable trend among the Whacko Left Wing seems to be organizing and participating in stupid 'protest marches'. This trend really started late in Obama's term, but has become an especially useful propaganda tactic for the political and media forces opposed to President Trump---and to freedom generally.
Most recently we saw flash-mobs knocking down statues and bitter harridans and cadres of male feminists walking around with artificial vaginas on their heads (illustrating of course where their brains are). Before that, we saw effete white trust-fund babies rallying for Black Lives Matter and on behalf of illegal immigrants.
The latest act of Leftist mass-insanity was an event ridiculously called March for Our Lives. Of course, the whole event was orchestrated by Left-Wing interest groups but posed as 'millions' of young adults protesting for stricter gun control laws. The catalyst for this event was the Parkland School mass-murder which was committed by a thug with an illegally-owned weapon. The police---whom the Liberals argue should alone have access to guns---in this instance ran away.
Thus we have typical Liberal logic. The Gun Laws that were supposed to stop nutcases like Nicholas Cruz from obtaining a firearm were not enforced: and those government agencies who are supposed to stop such attacks fled the scene. The Liberal solution therefore is that we need even more government oversight.
And the same Left who want to regulate guns also protest every police-involved shooting. They ought simply to confess that they are pro-crime.
Some might argue that, with modern weapons, the 2nd Amendment is obsolete. They argue that civilian militias couldn't impact a modern army. But we've seen this theory disproved in the Middle East in both Syria and Iraq.
Before the rise of ISIS, Syria had fairly lenient gun laws, but guns were taxed and too expensive for the average person to own. In Syria, ISIS took over and massacred entire villages like Zara and Al-Quaryatayn.
In Iraq, one of the positive things brought by American Occupation was a respect for the principles of the 2nd Amendment and the establishment of a 'gun culture.' Civilian militias not only fought ISIS side-by-side with the Iraqi Army, but ISIS took tremendous casualties from civilian snipers within ISIS-occupied cities. ISIS' second-in-command, Omar the Chechen was killed by a sniper as were the head of the secret police, their propaganda chief, their head of suicide-bombing units, as well as several other ISIS officials and military commanders. A few small villages were liberated before the Iraqi Army arrived, by the armed inhabitants.
So why does the Left really hate the 2nd Amendment? It is because they could never impose the kind of regime they desire on America as long as the people can resist them with force. This is not a radical idea at all; but one enshrined by our Founding Fathers. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story stated in 1832 that:
"The right of the citizenry to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a free republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary powers of rulers."
And not only that, but our Founding Fathers revived and modified an earlier British Law, from the reign of King William III in the 1688 Bill of Rights:
"That our subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defense suitable to their condition and as allowed by law." Which, as Story notes, had become a dead letter in England by his day. Our Founding Fathers understood that disarmament leads to oppression.
But the ignoramuses marching today never hear about the Founding Fathers, Judge Story, or the English Constitution from any of their even more ignorant teachers. The worst school massacre in US history was carried out with dynamite. Evil men are not going to be deterred by laws. Modern Academia thinks that we can stop evil by wishing it out of existence. But the force of evil is only stopped with a superior force. And that's why the media and academia really don't want it stopped at all.
There's an interesting thread at the Ex-Red Pill Subreddit where a fellow tells a poignant story about how his encounter with the Red Pills nearly drove him to suicide.
"I came across the Red Pill and for some reason a lot of what they were saying seemed true." he writes, "There are definitely good things in there like improving yourself, but what really stood out to me was the idea that marriage was a terrible thing and that no woman will ever love you like you want to be loved. That modern-day marriages don't work any more because modern women don't need to rely on men any more and can divorce husbands quite easily and take them for everything they own. This may seem good at the start of a relationship, but all women eventually lose attraction to their husbands."
The writer of this article explained how he was a child of divorce and wanted something better for himself. I don't think that he realized this; but these are exactly the kinds of vulnerable men upon whom the Red Pill Cult preys. He tells of the consequences:
"This struck me in a really bad way. I felt sick to my stomach; I had swallowed TRP and realized that everything that I had wanted in life was a facade and that I no longer saw a purpose in living. I was so f-----g miserable that I seriously thought of ending it all."
Fortunately, this young fellow came across some anti-Red Pill sites and the scales fell from his eyes just in time. But we do have to wonder how many similar stories don't end so happily. With the sky-high rates of male suicide in the US, it can't be doubted that a fair number of them are driven to despair by what they've been taught by the Cult.
Granted, the anti-male zeitgeist of our postmodern dystopia has made relationships much harder to obtain than in the past: but we also have to keep in mind that anti-male doesn't necessarily translate to pro-female. The cultural 'elites' are mostly very psychologically twisted sexual perverts who have a hatred of heterosexuality and complimentarianism in general. While men are being socially prevented from acting according to their nature; women are being pushed into social roles for which they have no capacity. The result is a Culture of Sexual Despair where men are frustrated and women feeling inadequate. Into that void steps the Gay Mafia, telling us that the homosexual lifestyle is superior; and that 'enlightened' people join it.
The Red Pills---whether or not they'll admit it---play right into that anti-heterosexual narrative. They are no more friendly to men than Feminists are to women. Both sides teach that neither gender needs the other; and in fact that the other gender is expendable. This is the Militant Homosexual agenda in a nutshell. It's no wonder that both the Red Pills and Feminists have 'gays' lurking around in both their leaderships.
Thus Red Pill Cultists like Jack Donovan and his homosexual biker-gang or our suicidal young friend are two logical outcomes of TRP. Just as the large number of young women drawn to Lesbianism and the scandalous rates of female addiction to antidepressants are the logical outcome of Feminism. Men and women are drawn to one another---in fact, need one another---each has qualities the other gender lacks. And vice-versa each gender has deficiencies for which the other compensates.
The writer of the Reddit piece had a happy ending:
"Thank God I took the Blue Pill and came to my senses. It now seems so stupid that I believed in that TRP s--t. I believe that there are some good attraction tips out there, but the majority of it is toxic and ignores all the happy marriages out there. Here's to being a 'Beta.'"
More good---but long overdue---news from the White House. Less than a week after ejecting the RINO Tillerson, the President today fired H.R. McMaster as National Security Adviser. He is being replaced with career diplomat and international intelligence specialist. John Bolton.
McMaster was another problem for the Administration. Many suspect that he was the source behind several leaks. Also there is considerable suspicion that McMaster supplied Trump with false evidence against his predecessor, General Flynn. What is not in any doubt is that McMaster supplied Trump with bad intelligence and terrible advice.
And small wonder. McMaster was first and foremost loyal to his ex-boss, Obama. When Obama opened the military to homosexuals, McMaster was put in charge of implementing the policy. He favored all of Obama's foreign policies and tried to extend them into the Trump Administration.
Like his chum, Rainbow Rex Tillerson, McMaster held over numerous Obama-appointed officials. As recently as last Autumn, almost all key NSA positions were led by Obama/Clinton appointees.
The NSA is in desperate need of swamp-draining. Bolton may be the man to do this. While he is hawkish on foreign policy, he is also a traditional Conservative in his attitude towards government administration. He will clean out the nest of DNC vipers that McMaster's pals in the Deep State created.
The mad bomber behind a series of apparently random attacks in the Austin/San Antonio area met his doom last night, thanks to the heroic action of some unidentified police officers. A manhunt involving local, federal police and the Texas Rangers culminated in the issue of a warrant for one Mark Conditt, an unemployed computer technician. Conditt attempted to escape and---at the risk of their own lives---police followed and forced him off the road. Conditt's car exploded: it's unknown at this point whether he detonated a car bomb or a police bullet struck an explosive device.
No matter, the explosion sent the 'Mad Bomber of Austin' to Tartarus; saving taxpayers the expense of a media-circus trial.
The Corporate Media, however, along with the usual vulgar Leftist trolls, are besides themselves with joy to learn that Conditt was a White male apparently from a Conservative Christian background and not a Left-Wing nutcase, as per usual. This is all in spite of the fact that voter-rolls show that Conditt never declared a political party, nor voted in any election. And---the very Liberal Austin Police Chief has stated already that they have a taped confession from Conditt which indicates that political or religious motivations were not behind the attacks. CNN---for whatever their words are worth---did note in passing that the two police officers injured in the final showdown were 'white males'.
The real story here though isn't about Conditt, though the Corporate Media will give him---like they do all other mass-murderers---24/7 attention while ignoring his victims and the efforts of good men in bringing down this menace to society. That notoriety naturally encourages even more psychos to try and top the last attack. The Russians learned this after the Beslan School Massacre in 2004. The Russian Media agreed with the government to prohibit sensationalism of these event. The results have been that such attacks have virtually ceased in Russia while they've increased virtually exponentially here.
Unlike the Russian Media, though, we can't expect American journalists to engage in responsible behavior. What we can do is ignore those jugheads and focus on the efforts of real heroes who did what it took to bring the Mad Bomber's career to a conclusion. Even though our society puts down men as potential rapists and male pigs, it took considerable stones (as we used to call it) to charge a car-bomb. In fact, on Monday we saw a semi-retired painter do the same thing. and the very next day, a police officer stopping another psycho bent on a wholesale massacre. Not a bad week at all for those of us who are needed like a fish needs a bicycle.
Even more fascinating was how these diverse law enforcement agencies tracked Conditt down in the first place. Conditt made two serious blunders that led to his ultimate downfall (not counting his abortive escape attempt). The first took some real investigative skills to uncover. As part of the detonator, Conditt employed a type of battery not manufactured or widely available in the US. A sharp investigator noted that, which led police to find who had purchased these devices online. Conditt's second mistake was using Home Depot and similar stores to buy other materials. Police began monitoring surveillance videos of purchasers of such items. Now, Conditt always wore a disguise---but a suspicious and very alert Home Depot employee followed him outside and got his license number. Conditt was on the list of suspects from the battery-purchases. And that was that.
Good men doing good things and working as a team: maybe if our culture celebrated that instead of holding up the Conditts of the world as typically male, we'd see fewer like him and more like the 'two White males' who brought him down at last.
