Three Letters Of Conspiracy

Flashback alert. One popular thing among kids way back was theorizing about who was really running the country? The real question though was the President in control, running the country or not? A number of ideas would come up at any given time.

The common idea was, whoever the president, he probably could not be running it. Popular theory was either the military industrial complex (ref IKE) or any number of shadowy, unelected people who, behind the scenes, actually pulled the strings of control . It was only a guess but about as popular as sci-fi was in those days.

Now today we can say for certain from a body of public information that this president is definitely not running the show. Still, shadowy others lurch in the background who do run it. That can hardly be contested or debated anymore. It’s self-evident this president is not in control of his own faculties let alone a behemoth government, which got even bigger since the old days. (when you walked to and from school uphill both ways)

We have pretty good ideas on others who do have their hands on the levers, most of whom are in the executive branch anyway. People can and do speculate. However, a weird possibility pops up now, stranger than all the old conspiracies. It lies within one agency.

Back to the reasons it is important to have some trust in a president. We wouldn’t want a guy who is potentially compromised who could be blackmailed. But that is the exact situation we have. There’s no doubt Biden is compromised and open to blackmail.

But today, some of those who could potentially blackmail him are within this country. I don’t mean his unsavory contacts over the years, even those in his family. A blackmailer would have to know things or something so important it compromises the integrity of the office. Again, that would be a 3-letter agency right in our government apparatus.

How is that, you ask? Well, undoubtedly the FBI knows more about Joe Biden than anyone else, outside of Biden Inc. Think about the treasure trove of information they have or know about Joe — many years’ worth. They even have Hunter’s laptop sitting on a secret shelf. So is the FBI capable of blackmailing the president? Again, yes. What have they not been willing to do or exploit over recent years? Experience says yes.

Now let’s go back to who is actually in control of the White House, or the country. Someone would have to have the dirt on him in order to control the strings of power. Controlling those strings also means deciding if he should run for president. If they decided no, Joe may not even have a chance. They could destroy him or render him unfit. So who could destroy Joey and also knows all the dirt? You come up with one entity.

But who has also proved they have power to influence elections or control the political dialogue? Are we talking about the same shadowy people who are also in that 3-letter agency? I think so. Why else would they act as arrogant as they do. They made him and they can end his presidency, seems to be their deduction.

No longer do you have to worry about malicious foreign actors when you have a conniving cadre within government operating the same way. Bureaucrats move over, there’s a new sheriff in town. The “seven ways to Sunday” agency is very large and in charge, or so they believe. What we think of it becomes only an opinion. Just saying…

So Joey, how would you like a nice counter-intell investigation to go with your morning oatmeal and afternoon nap? Make us an offer we can’t refuse. You’re going to do what?

 

Wikipedia: “Variations of the deep state have existed as popular conspiracy theories in the United States since the 1950s.

“Although the term ‘deep state’ is thought to have originated in Turkey in the 1990s, belief in the concept of a deep state has been present in the United States since at least the 1950s. A 1955 article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, quotes Americans sharing their belief in the existence of a “dual state”: a hidden national security hierarchy and shadow government that monitors and controls elected politicians.”

What’s The Deal?

So here is the deal, I mean the deal on the Penn-Biden partnership deal. The Penn State University has now said it did not solicit Chinese money or funds. Okay. Except that was Biden’s job to attract the money and government talent to the partnership.

Then Penn State in turn paid Joe Biden a whopping salary, along with shadow government cohorts Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken, to establish Penn Biden Center.

Penn State would soon take in huge sums of money, over 54 million, anonymously from China. So then the salaries and money to Biden and his cohorts was just a kickback gratuity from Penn State, for the monetary support they received from China.

Sound like a great deal? What an ideal partnership.

If Biden and his people were working there, they were actually being paid by the Chinese. It was all Chinese funded after all. Who could question that setup? That’s the problem, no one in government would.

But now all of that appears to be coming under scrutiny with the takeover of a Republican Congress  digging dangerously close to Joe’s glory hole.

China got what they wanted. Joe dropped the investigation into Chinese influence on campuses. All sounds like more quid pro quo from ol’ Joe. No doubt about who’s payroll Biden was on though.

Then they find classified documents that Biden kept at the Penn Biden Center. But it seems likely the Chinese there would have seen them. But Newsweek tried to dismiss the connection of Chinese money to the Penn Biden Center.

Though it appears the whole purpose of Penn Biden was to raise Chinese (and other) donations to the University while self-funding the initiative itself through the University. (use Biden’s name out front) Once again, creating a figment of plausible deniability.

As Newsweek argues, lots of Universities take in Chinese money. Okay, but Penn State saw their donations skyrocket in the short time Penn Biden Center was established.  Build it and they will come is the adage, I believe.

This also gives Penn State the plausible deniability to say: “”The Penn Biden Center has never solicited or received any gifts from any Chinese or other foreign entity.” Sounds like something Joe Biden himself might say. The money goes to the University.

So Joey and his lab rats in tow could also say they were not being paid by China but by Penn State. And that the center was funded by Penn State. If all the funding was incidental then why did the investigation get dropped? I imagine that money would spend the same, whether it came from the University or Chinese donations.

As Tony Bobulinski said of the Bidens, plausible deniability is everything.

 

Penn got $258 million in foreign money, and there may be more it …

Feb 24, 2020 … The University of Pennsylvania accepted $258 million in foreign gifts and contracts from donors in China, Saudi Arabia, and other countries, … (Philadelphia Inquirer)

Destined For a reality TV Series In Biden’s America

As the world according to Biden turns, our stomachs do too.

Yes, Edith, we have laws in this country and we have lawmakers that make those laws. Duh! Yes, we have a government that does not obey the laws of the land or ignores them. But they tell us the answer to fix it all is we just need to make some new laws.

I could see Edith’s face as she looks at Archie in disbelief and says “ooh, my, I don’t think I like that very much.” And Archie responds “well, neither do I. Geesh!” Then he adds, “don’t…don’t say it, Edith!”

So the very same people in government who do this come out to call us all fascists. They say we are terrorists, a threat to the country and enemies of our democracy. Okey dokey!

Talk about fascists? Just think about it a minute: these lawless people, in their fits of rage, telling you “you better behave.” Edith does not want to hear that one, so I won’t tell her.

And they think we the people are just too stupid to see what they are doing. We must be too worried about the problems that they created.

Meanwhile, Archie’s antagonist, Meathead, is out there telling Biden he has a great success story to tell us. Joe’s been a fantastic president. We just need to hear it to realize it.

“So grateful to have a President who speaks the Truth. A President who deeply cares about the preservation of our 246 years of Democratic Self Rule. Thank you, President Biden.”- Rob Reiner – 9/1/2022

So the self-rule express has slipped a gear. You don’t say!

“If we add 2 Senate Seats and fight like hell to hold onto the House, a Woman’s Right to Choose will become the Law of the Land and we will have Saved Democracy. Time to FIGHT LIKE HELL!” Rob Reiner – 8/24/2022

Kill babies and Save Democracy! Well, there is that too.

“If the number one issue for voters this midterm is the threat to our Democracy, the choice couldn’t be simpler. Democrats are fighting to preserve it. Republicans are willing to use deadly force to destroy it.” – MH 8/21/2022

“This Midterm there is no gray area. You either cast a vote for Democracy or Fascism. That’s it.” — the Meatiest Head – Sep 4, 2022.

Welcome to the endless saga of “All In Joe’s America.” This one is not a comedy. Fences and security protect the criminals inside the White House. Pink flamingos graze the South Lawn while a free-ranging president goose-steps his way through the halls inside, between intermittent naps. Everything is very normal in an abby-normal. Cue the theme song.

Now a word from our sponsor, Cracked Joe’s, the good humor food. Try some…or not.

The T-card: violence, riots and terrorism

Let’s go back to the 2020 election and talk about something the media or journalists never mention, ignore and paid no attention to then.

Oh what critical thing was that? The thousands of businesses that had to board up their stores and shops in anticipation of the results of the election. That is: if Democrats did not get what they wanted, or didn’t get their way there would be hell to pay.

If Democrats did not win, there would be riots across the country destroying businesses and violence in the streets. Everyone knew it. Businesses prepared accordingly, as best they could. We all knew it was coming. Democrats were not going to accept the results like they didn’t in 2016. This time they were fully prepared. They were dug in.

Hotels were rented and plans were made. It was in process. If Trump won there would be hell in the streets. Many vowed to be ungovernable.

Don’t you think on some level that visual of violence made an impact on the election? It is terrorism after all, I called it Urban Terrorism. Even Kamala Harris said they aren’t going to stop and they should not stop. No one was being held to account either in over 550 riots they had, with billions in damages already inflicted.

The writing was on the wall that was our fate in cities and towns across America. Democrats were going to be in full-blown revolt. It would be ugly. Of course it would continue right through Inauguration Day. They would have protested the results and certification of the election. And it was all justifiable, according to Democrats and media. They would go scorched earth with no end in sight.

So do Democrats have anything at all to complain about? Do they have any grounds to accuse anyone — certainly of violence?

But it was all in process before election day. How many voters were intimidated, or just scared, by the Left’s terrorism? How could that not have an impact on the election? No one was going to jail either, there was no accountability for billions in damages inflicted.

Influencing elections and outcomes and “saving democracy?” Don’t be ridiculous.

CBS reports now:

“President Biden will host a White House summit next month aimed at combating a spate of hate-fueled violence in the U.S., as he works to deliver on his campaign pledge to “heal the soul of the nation.”

The White House announced Friday that Mr. Biden will host the United We Stand Summit on Sept. 15, highlighting the “corrosive effects” of violence on public safety and democracy.”

Biden said in Rockville Maryland 8/25/2022:

“Trump and the extreme MAGA Republicans have made their choice: to go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate, and division.

But we’ve chosen a different path: forward, the future, unity, hope, and optimism. I mean it sincerely. We choose to build a better America.” …./

“And the whole notion of the “burn it all down” politics of MAGA Republicans continues to be a drumbeat. “

“Burn it all down,” really, considering what they did in 2020? What revision.
Biden added:

“What we’re seeing now is the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It’s not just Trump, it’s the the entire philosophy that underpins the – I’m going to say something – it’s like semi-fascism.”

I’m going to say something,… Projection! He’s had a little too much Corn Pop.

Revisiting Paine

From American Crisis: December 1776:

“There are persons, too, who see not the full extent of the evil which threatens them; they solace themselves with hopes that the enemy, if he succeed, will be merciful. It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf, and we ought to guard equally against both.” — Thomas Paine.

Reinforcements For Mayor Muriel Bowser Declined

No, Mayor Bowser, you cannot have the “militia” come in to defend you against illegal “immigrants.” Silly Mayor, that is only for insurrectionists and white extremists.

Who do you think you are anyway?

But you know what? Maybe if you claimed they were invading the nation’s capital and interfering with democracy or elections, it might work? Worth a shot, or chance.

And maybe if said reinforcements could stop the president’s relocation service from dropping off “immigrants” across the US in the middle of the night, it could help your case? You might also try calling it a crisis, which sometimes gets government’s ire.

I do hope your schools, hospitals and public services can handle the extra strains. Sorry, you don’t have enough “white privilege” in the city for it. You are already overextended.

Nevertheless, the president is counting on your excellent resettlement services to handle it anyway. Please know the cartels much appreciate your efforts as well.

However, in the future, should you have a legitimate need of those “militarized” services, don’t hesitate to ask. They are there at your request.

Lots of luck, Mayor Muriel Bowser.

This is your mission, should you accept it.

Signed,
Mission Impossible Team

(**This letter will self-destruct faster than Hillary Clinton’s emails.**)

Forked Tongue Giveth A Recession

The US is officially in recession, while Biden and his crony government are stuck in denial. The experts don’t have that luxury and have to deal with reality. We have two consecutive quarters of negative GDP. Sec. Yellen is yelling, this is “not a recession.”

Joey claimed a great labor market mitigates that recession label but labor is a lagging indicator, which inevitably reflects the current reality — not Biden’s false perception of it.

The truth is Biden ran the economy into the ground, just like the country. Where did we hear that clear-eyed prediction two years ago? Despite the warnings and all the red flags, Joey went full-speed ahead without brakes. Like Paul Pelosi blowing past a stop sign.

Now we have a compounding economic calamity, fabricated by Bidenomics and Bidenflation. So Lying Biden will get the historic inflation award and earn the “R”-word.

Biden wrecked his political career, the economy and country, along with our energy, border and national security. He wants us shipwrecked, stranded and destitute in the US.

While on the Freedom front, things do not look any better. For years we heard about Democrats coming for our 2nd amendment and guns. In stunning reality — as if that were not bad enough — they are not only coming for our guns but are now coming for our car, furnace, appliances, food supply, way of life, your kids and eventually your job.

The Left is coming for it all as well as your basic freedom. Due process, protection from illegal search and seizure, equal protections under the law, the first amendment and freedom of assembly to organize. It’s all going down the toilet with one giant Biden flush. And our Constitutional protection from invasion has been nullified. We have never been intentionally placed in such a precarious position by the very government designed to secure our freedom and preserve the Constitution.

Joe Biden has busted all the molds.

Recession now means a more steady and stable economy. Soaring energy costs mean transition. In a  response to affects of COVID vaccines, Fauci illustrated our policy.

Share this everywhere and keep sharing it pic.twitter.com/Y1uPbBkmPe

— pygs40 (@GarnerDarell) July 28, 2022

Fauci: “Well, the menstrual thing, ah, is something that seems to be quite transient and temporary. That’s the point. We need to study it more.”

The words “transient and temporary” should be familiar: like on inflation, economic effects, employment, recession, energy, gender, identity, crime, the border invasion, recession … or anything else in the Biden-world of crisis denial. Transition nation.

But for the rest of us living in reality in 2022, who are not onboard the transitional transformation train, it is all very real no matter how much Democrats want to study it. We are not test tube experiments nor Ginny pigs. The results are in.

So no matter how much Joey delivers lie after lie about it, that will not change the facts.

And judging by the poll numbers, the rest of the country is not on the transitional train either, since the economy and inflation are the number one issues — not climate change.

Moral of the story: you cannot have a recession without two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. Well, son of a bitch, we got that!

Trading Power Abuses

Joe Biden and his band of radicals and tyrants have traded one form of control over people — using the pandemic — for another form of mass control using the climate. Same game, same agenda, same results.

Welcome to modern day Rome, where the state dictates all choices not the individual. If you prefer violence, it can always arrange that too.

And so Joey the traitor is going to make a proclamation about a climate emergency. Biden gave us a war on energy and now he wants to declare an emergency. He came up empty on his Mid-East ‘pump and dump’ tour, so back to executive abuse.

It seems the more we the people are hurting, the better leftists like it and the more they use it against us. Our pain is their gain. And when that pain comes directly from the Oval Office or federal government, all the better.

Add to this war on fossil fuels the raging inflation. Let the good times roll. Caesar on.

Mayor Pete the Butthole said the quiet part in Congressional testimony:

“The more pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, ​the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicles.”

So our pain is their gain; whether at the pump or grocery store, or home.

Bidens’s perfunctory meeting with the oil CEOs had no effect, by design. So now he resorts to his favorite tool he planned on all along: Abuse of Power — Democrats’ final solution.

Executive deliverance will now be performed across the country by proclamation. “We will create new and better ways for you to experience pain.” Move on over Rome!

Since Joe is such a moron, officials will try to entertain us while they torture the public. Remember when media told us, “these are serious people?”  We should be very impressed. (no private sector experience but serious) When they want you to feel pain, you will.

And physical abuse may be substituted for economic pain any time, just in case. Or some mixture of the two that persuades their message. It’s a “very serious” abuse of power.

Morning In America to Mourning America

In the span of 40 years, we have gone from Morning in America to Mourning America. It didn’t happen by accident either. That is no achievement — or is it for some people?

It is hard to imagine yet we all witnessed what led up to it. No, this is not about Trump — much as the left wants everything to be about DJT — it is about the greatest country in the history of the world.  That’s far bigger than one man or the blame of one man.

The USA will be 250 years old in 2026, no matter what leftists say. Instead, we will all be wondering if we can make it another 10 years, never mind 100 years. Well, what do you think? Have we reached the expiration date on the carton? Is it time to face reality?

I mean the polls, which are not very dependable, have already said less people are now proud of the country. There is a lot in an opinion: Proud of what it’s become? Proud of what it is doing? Proud of the direction it is going? Proud of present America?

I want to believe people are still proud of the conception and idea of America. Though I don’t know the chances for any celebration in 2026? Some aren’t even proud of that. Their whole goal on the left is to destroy our pride. Certainly not to allow it to continue.

Some of them would be right there rooting for a Chicom takeover, or at least not caring one way or another about it. Just the way they are welcoming illegals over the border.

When these kinds of public sentiments are popular, we are in a bad place. It breeds grief.

I would like to suggest all kinds of ways to fix it. But the only way I know of to do that is to fix the people who are ruining it. So we stand here on the virtual eve of 250 years, 1/4 of a millennium, at a crossroads. Who anticipated that say 40 years ago?

Personally, I would much prefer if there were a celebration of how far we came and what we have done. Instead, it is about what all is wrong with America — it has been for years.

The next presidential term will have this anniversary on its watch…. whoever that is.

Joey, the author of grief at your service.

Remember when Ronald Reagan criticized the government and its ambitions? Well, today the Left criticizes the American people and whatever we hold dear. See the shift over 40 years? We have become the problem — not their machinations with our government, or its abuses of power. They are from the government, here to help, but we are the problem.

Someone is lying and we cannot be to blame for this whole mess. In fact if we had our way, some heads would roll and there would be some accountability, very generously applied.  But since there really is no accountability that is our fault, too?

Let me guess, they have all the answers to fix it by shutting us up and the Constitution down. Why do they think Marxism is the answer? Anyone who still denies their Marxist cause is willfully ignorant. They see economics as the big problem because much of their ideology is rooted in it. (not real economics — but their corrupted economics)

It is a hybrid political economics. And if you think CRT is bad enough, then wait until radicals control our entire economic system. That’s where this all goes. So having radixal leftist ideology running our economic system, who thinks that is a great idea?

Confidence is dwindling but you cannot fix stupid. You’d think we’d be over this by now.

So we are having a grief crisis in America. Grab a Kleenex and say an earnest prayer.

4th of July Retro

Not to get too personal, I’ve known a lot of different kinds of people over the years. Some of them were freedom fighters, anarchists to revolutionary types. But most of them had at least some redeemable characteristic about them. They were genuine and for the most part decent people. They cared about things, maybe too much. That needs explaining.

But conversations did not dwell on their ideas, it was about whatever was going on, events, or people. We got along fine. Few were spiritual but most were clearly not. I would have even called some of them radical, except that meant something different than it does now. (or in its current use) Just a wild diversity of people and views. Seemed harmless.

One interesting friend was a guy I knew from early on who sort of started the trend. His specialty was Marxism and political science. A very knowledgeable person when I wasn’t.

As to most of the others, some might thought weirdos at the time, they fit into another category altogether. Some were very intelligent too, but that was not the point. They had a belief in something, what exactly wasn’t too clear. But interesting might have trumped everything else. There seemed no good reason why we could not all be friends. Why not?

Although those ideas or views were not the center of any friendship, one question always baffled me about their particular views or politics. That was to where such a view would lead? How far would it go, and how deep were those views? I never dwelt on an answer except that I did not know. And I had no reason to think they knew either.

Now there is a reason why I say this. I never really held it against them. It’s their thing. I like my views so don’t bug me about mine; I don’t bug them about theirs. Simple right? Kind of a mutual code of conduct. As long as we all adhere to that, fine.

 

But oh how times have changed. Or should I say how the times have changed us? The thing is today we see all too clearly where the ideas lead. There can be no mistaken agenda about it. The revolutionaries today are more like FARC or guerilla revolutionaries, who would pair up with Che Guevera, Chavez or Maduro. There is no hiding the truth about their purpose to undermine the legitimacy and history of the USA.

It gets harder today to give them a naive benefit of the doubt about a radical agenda, or where it leads, because we’ve seen the proof. They all go down the same Marxist hole to follow the commie line. You can no longer just say, “I’m not a part of any of that.” This is where radicalism leads; whether they knew it then or not, we all know it now.

No more passes. So if you are a part of that or allied with it, you can and should be called out with the rest of the vast anti-American revolutionaries. How about a little pride?

Media or establishment can call out Jan 6th protestors for disagreeing with their election, but can’t condemn real revolutionaries undermining everything in America. Weird eh?

 

Lets take a look at the one thing, belief, that carries across the spectrum. I have my beliefs, these people apparently have theirs. I don’t know exactly what all their beliefs are based on but I know what mine are based on. This is not about who is right or wrong. Except that someone has to be in the end. It did not used to matter so much.

So if you have some strong beliefs, you should know what they are based on. We saw that with Obama: just believe in some transformational thing without knowing what the hell it really is, or where it leads. Believe in him and what he says.  From Obama’s perspective, all that mattered is that people “just keep believing” period. A real faith-based campaign.

No more excuses, the ideology matters.

My ideas and beliefs are based on things that stood the test of time.  And the critical thinking needed to make assessments about other beliefs. If beliefs are not based on anything, we can figure out where they eventually lead. And we see a whole lot of that now coming to the surface. No more excuses, you didn’t know. You should have known, not like there is a not enough evidence out there already, and accumulating fast.

These days, radicals are not nice people. Radical is a big step from what it used to be in a non-conformist environment.  Now it is all about conforming to radical views or ideas represented in our government by the revolutionary types. It turns out the revolution was against America not for her and, by the looks of it today, they won.

There is another controversial idea that they won. Let me explain. If by won we mean who is in control and assumed power, it is them — the radicals. Looks are deceiving. But if you mean what prize, other than levers of power, they won it is a different matter.

No, they didn’t win over any of us normies out there who already had our own fixed set of beliefs or ideas. Last I checked, socialists might be gaining but they don’t convince many of us who know better. They do convince those without any firm beliefs who can be molded into their power base — which is also still not the majority of the country.

So now the fun begins.

But they are really not winning in the real sense, which matters. They aren’t winning in public opinion in hearts and minds. The more people find out — aka gets revealed — about what this is about and where it leads, the less they like it. You cannot sign on for the long haul without knowing where something leads. That is why Dems have to put up vague visions of utopian green energy plans, social issues or redistribution diversions.

It is not government’s role to scam us. But the truth is being carefully filtered out about these Marxist agendas and they don’t want us to know where it leads.

It’s sort of like looking at the Nigerian email scam. If it looks and acts like a duck, then it ain’t a Maserati. We cannot allow them to deny the obvious. Radicals are now every bit as revolutionary as the people who swept in Nicholas Maduro. So if you sign on for part of it, you are signing on for the whole package because that is where it leads.

So excuse me if I hassle some people about their views and beliefs. They deserve scrutiny, it is a serious matter. Yes, it involves all of us, not just selfish rosy-eyed utopians. It is our future they are betting, too. The stakes are even greater for us since they don’t care.

War On The Enemies’ Terms

When we look at Ukraine, we may see events but I see a psychological campaign. That could be narrowed down to a propaganda campaign. The West has to do much better in the propaganda arena. We cannot be failing at the essentials.

I don’t mean lies but if it is one thing you can count on, it is that Russia is lying about almost everything. Of course we have a better narrative so why don’t we use and take advantage of that? Instead we get a lot of “what we won’t do” from our leaders.

That is not the stuff to win a battle or war with. That is only defining your limitations to the enemy. On the other side, Putin makes every attempt not to be defined. He only forfeits any mystery about himself by his actions. That part is something like a political campaign. You define your political opponent early and often.

Now I am not saying it is the same as politics. However, many in this country have gotten so addicted to making everything into politics. Imagine if we broke down WWII into a political debate. It wouldn’t have helped anything. But that is what the new Left has become, a religion of politics. We have had that discussion here before.

At some point people have to realize there is something more than politics in the world. That is a dangerous view. We saw ideology was the great problem with Obama.

So Fiona Hill had an elaborate interview with Politico. Yes, she is of Trump impeachment fame but she does offer some insight other than disliking Trump now. It is a miniature historical lesson. (not a revision) It does not say Putin is a great student of history either.

 

Why is it that the West should suffer from a predictability crisis? The Left believes we must be predictable in every way and form,. Here is where that is the problem.

What have you if there is no war you are willing to fight, and that is your position, but your enemy sees no war it is unwilling to wage? Or in other words, there is nothing you would go to war for but your enemy will go to war for anything and everything. See what a predicament that is? It does leave self-defense but even that is determined by will.

So then everything you do is dependent on will or public perception – what people, by polls or other measure, are willing to do. Everything becomes a debate or public poll.

Russia doesn’t seem to have that problem. It has a man at the helm, be it a madman or monger, who is not weighed down by the will of the people. In fact that is irrelevant to him or his goals. We now see what happens when people don’t like what he does. So what?

So I am not arguing in favor of their system, but it is just the way it is. They are not saddled by popular perception. A similar thing works with China.

 

We say there is an ethical rule you cannot even talk about killing the leader of a country. Russia announces its main intention is to take out President Zelenskyy, even deploying assassins to kill him and members of government. His removal is the chief objective.

If we lay down all these lines, it is only a matter of time before the enemy challenges those lines. Then what? However, you have forfeited your element of unpredictability. You have only given your enemy a road map of what you will do, so that they can plan around your lines or use them to their advantage. What you ‘will not do’ is not a defense plan. Those are only your own limitations, not your enemy’s. They freely do anything, raising villages, bombing civilians, threaten nuclear facilities committing genocide.

As much as maybe the world has changed over the last fifty years, we have only grown more predictable. We have to stop putting ourselves into a box. And once in a while, if not frequently, we have to look at things from the enemies’ perspective.

There is a school of thought that thinks there can be an advantage to being predictable That is when your enemy does not expect your non-conventional means. Then you could throw them off with the element of surprise. Maybe but would it be better not to have strapped limitations on yourself first, like a suicide bomber?

So this is the way the debate is playing out over the no fly zones. Can’t do this, can’t do that. It is impossible.

Then we have to factor in that we have a General like Milley. We saw what he did with China and making strategic promises to them. What good is that, what did we gain?

The same people, maybe it was Milley himself, shared our intelligence assets with China about what Vlad the bad was up to. Then China shared it with Russia. This is how they conduct operations?

The other step here in this process is we must know who our friends are or who are not friends. You would think we would know that. Why act as if your enemy is your friend? What does that get you?

We have to stop playing these games, which are only like running psy-ops on ourselves. The enemy doesn’t care. They laugh incredulously at you as you bang your head.

But America is now awake to its threats, it was asleep for too long.

The Other 9/11

I was just looking at my calendar and noticed that this September 11th will be the 10th anniversary of Benghazi. My, how time flies when the crooks are running the asylum.

Yes, it is hard to believe since for many of us Benghazi will never go away. It is a stain on the corrupt Obama-Biden administration forever. And it is a permanent blot on the remaining legacy of Hillary Rotten Clinton, for most Americans honoring history.

But actually it was never even a speed bump on her road to be president. She never treated it as a serious event. Beghazi was always dismissed by her, even though she once claimed to take full responsibility for it. She never did. Nor was that ever her intent.

Her life was to go on, rosily in elite political circles. while the events of Benghazi were to disappear like the spring snow. Justice was never an option for Benghazi or HRC.

But patriots like Charlie Daniels would almost daily repeat “Benghazi isn’t going away.” Right, we lost Charlie but it seems like Hillary got her wish. Like everything else she was involved in, Benghazi faded into Hillary’s aura as a nothing — not a blip on her radar.

Hillary, it turned out, was more interested in her future coup d’état than giving survivors of Benghazi or a dead ambassador the time of day. That’s because it was always time for the star of Hillary Clinton to shine — and everything else to take a backseat to that.

The name Benghazi was meant to be as obsolete to history as the horse-drawn carriage is to the car. Only the carriage served a purpose where Benghazi never did for Democrats or Hillary the Rotten’s legacy.

FBI Favorability In The Toilet

More validation comes out on that pesky public opinion. Now it seems many people believe the FBI operate as a personal Gestapo for Joey Baby and his administration. Now I wonder where on earth they got that idea?

A Rasmussen poll says

Voter Approval of FBI Declines

1/04/22

Fewer voters now trust the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and many believe the agency is acting as President Joe Biden’s “personal Gestapo.”

A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports finds that 46% of Likely U.S. voters have a favorable impression of the FBI, including 15% who have a Very Favorable view of the agency. That’s down from May 2020, when 60% had a favorable impression of the FBI. Forty-seven percent (47%) now view the FBI unfavorably, including 26% who have a Very Unfavorable impression.

Just where do Americans get that crazy idea? Now do the Dept of Justice.

Change The Tune, Then Play It Again

Hello, beloved patriots:

As the drama of another unpopular year is coming to a close, the lying Left appears to be getting a few messages. Or their ability to deny the truth bombs going off in every part of the country has reached its cosmic limits. Whichever. We are finally confronting the Left’s perception failures.

Start with Democrats abolish/defund police plank. In the last week, notable Democrats have made stunning reversal statements trying to support law and order. They tipped their hat to the crime rates, after denying them for months, suggesting we now need to re-fund and recruit police. Come on, man.

But you can hardly believe Democrats pushing anti-crime rhetoric when they have done everything possible to cause the crime wave. They must be reading the polls. 2022 is an election year, so they think they can swing around to talk about cracking down on crime.

No way, Jose, will that ever sell.

 

Biden makes a stunning statement that “there is no federal government solution to Covid.” Yet that was exactly what he ran on and promised: a federal government anti-state solution. He said he was going to “shutdown the virus.” Just as he told us he was not against fracking or gas. Then he canceled Keystone.

Well, Lying Biden seems to have had an epiphany. He managed to shutdown other things like learning in schools and pipelines in the Mid-West, but he now admits he is a helpless failure at shutting down the virus from hell, which keeps reinventing itself through new variants faster than Joe’s handlers can reload his teleprompter.

We get these occasional words of admission splashed in with the lies to make it appear Democrats are now pivoting their evil ways. No they aren’t. It is ear candy to make it seem like they are seeing the light and reversing themselves. Evidently, polls have consequences. The idea they are capable of reversing themselves is a fairytale.

 

Once again, we are going back to the land of Alice In Wonderland, where Democrats are eating on the wrong side of the mushroom. It’s Howdy Doody Time all over again. We are supposed to suspend belief to once again accept the left’s narrative on our current state of reality. Yet they are busy trying to murder reality with every breath they take.

They are at war with reality.

Even when the Left appears to be coming around to admit the truth, you cannot believe a word they say. And their motives are as corrupted as their evil plans. They haven’t given up on their failed plans, only tying to further disguise them.

 

Now Blomberg News is suggesting our greatest export to the rest of the world might be wokeism. Get that? Sure. the rest of the world should be dying to do to their countries what we are doing to ours, destroying it. Can they be serious?

After wokeism finally seems to be exposed for what it is and proven to be a Marxist tool, America is coming to a verdict to reject it. Even some of the Left’s staunchest mouthpieces have condemned the fallacies of the movement. No, that doesn’t mean it is going the way of the dinosaurs, it means they are tipping their hat to the idea that maybe it doesn’t do what or all they expected it to do. But one failed idea inevitably only leads to another rotten idea on the Left side of the tracks.

 

But they certainly can make public gestures and statements that they finally appear to understand the mistakes they made. Then again, they were not mistakes when they rolled it out because they new the damage it would cause. Now we are supposed to think they were only misguided? They were the ones committing the deception, not victims of it.

Just as we are to think that Biden is now shifting gears to get on the right side of things by admitting the state’s rights are sacrosanct in dealing with a virus? It doesn’t mean Dems changed their minds on any of these positions, like they have not abandoned Marxism. They want you to think they are pivoting.

How many times do you have to watch the same movie thinking you are going to see a different ending? Fool me once, twice, three times. Enough.

I can offer my opinion what this is all about. Leftists are witnessing the success of what conservatives have been saying for years. It is hard to hide the truth staring at us. So now they are trying to adopt some of the positions conservatives have been banging away at.

For instance, the failure of shutting down schools and remote learning. Listen to them acknowledge the policy is wrong now when they stood behind it promoting it. Now they are against shutting down schools? Really? Randi Weingarten has said her objective is only to keep schools open. Really?

Come on, man!

What’s next, will Democrats and the progressively Marxist Left now tell us they still support fossil fuels as an energy source? Will they admit we have to have a steady, reliable form of energy? Will they admit wokeism is wrecking our military? Will they admit their exuberant spend-a-thon is going to cause even more inflation and problems?

Will they admit Hillary hatched the Russia hoax against Trump and, with the help of Obama – Biden, then wove it into a coup on a sitting president? Will they admit it was all fantasy except for the cabal of treason, sedition and cover up they incorporated?

Will they admit the existence of inflation and the damage it is now causing? Will they admit that America is not a bad or evil country? Will they admit that the border needs to be closed and we cannot allow endless numbers of migrants to stream across the border? Will they admit their policy is causing illegal immigration? Will they admit crime is a problem not a solution? Will they admit they are causing crime?

 

But the people know the truth about all that and more. It is only the Left that is saturated in a phony reality, then they continue lying to explain and dismiss it as fast as the very real consequences show up. The verdict has been in on this entire agenda.

The people know the truth. In poll after poll, these ideas only get more unpopular in time. That’s why they were scrambling to push through another 5 trillion-dollar spending plan, before the truth of popular rejection was revealed. But Virginia happened, NJ happened.

 

And isn’t it odd that these fossilized Washington progressives are pushing policies or plans that will harm this country long after they are gone from earth? That is not lost on us. They want the plans to be in force way past their own expiration dates.

America On The Ropes

What is America’s future? That is a question that has riddled us for 100’s of years. America has answered that not by theorizing but in real actions. Because, after all, actions determine our future not political theories. Our future is not based on economic theory but on real time results. But there are consequences for poor actions as well.

Partly what drives this country is our world view and values as lived through our actions. No one can tell us our values are not real. We see them through history. We always hope, or often expect, that good will always win out over evil. Yet that takes effort.

Time and again we have risen to the challenges we face with determination.

So why has America become so polarized? Some will say we have always been. Some will say it is those very challenges that unite us. An example would be 911. We even distinguish between pre and post 911 realities.

Throughout the last 20 years, we have heard a lot of talk about pre vs. post 911 attitudes. It is true. We cannot afford the luxury of systemic denial.

However, I would take it a step further. A good place to start is pre-WWII mentality verses the post-WWII mentality. I see our distinction today being just as serious and just that flawed as it was then.

We’ve had leaders, too, who have risen to challenges. The last we remember was Ronald Reagan. While on the left, they idealize FDR as a hero. So today the contrast is as great as between Reagan and FDR. We cannot live in a pre-World War II mindset. In the end, that kind of denial did not succeed.

Among the Left today, they never take into account the obvious consequences of their agenda. No one fires a shot as America dismantles its defenses and status right in front of our eyes, and our enemies’. But they don’t take into account what that means in a world of rivaling evil engaged in a turf war.

They don’t consider the future that will form in a vacuum.

Do we never assume that one day an alliance of evil will mount all its forces against us? Do we never factor in our contribution to this alliance? Does anyone on the left still care? Do they think that they can have their own reality, unaffected by the world’s influences?

But all that is why Reagan and much of American people believe in peace through strength. Peace doesn’t seem to come from weakness. While that strength seems offensive to some people, it is what stands between us and decline of the west. To the left that decline is an acceptable sacrifice. It is welcomed as one of the consequences they wish to ignore.

The problem is evil does not work this way It is not content to sit in a stagnant state. It is bound to increase and get worse through less and less resistance. Appeasement to it is not the answer. One could think it all spiritual but it is also real. We see the consequences. Our children and grandchildren live with the effects of our actions. It is a huge responsibility.

On the left, responsibility has been abolished. They believe you can have the world you perceive simply by that belief, and nothing was more evident of this than the Obama-Biden years. Damn the facts and reality, simply click your heels three times and believe it is so… and voila, it will be. But the rest of the world does not operate that way. It will not accommodate the Leftists’ beliefs no matter how radical or rational they are.

We are now at that great pivotal point, after Trump was shoved aside. They’ve already cast their lots on the side of that evil. Trump himself said of the country: “there is a point at which it cannot be turned back, and we can never allow that point to be reached.”

But the left wants to make it impossible for us to turn it back. That is their huge goal. So how do you face the enemy within hell-bent against us? May God Bless America.

Cease The Lies – just stop it

If I had only one wish for the New Year, it would have to be to cease the lies. That unfortunately will not happen soon. I guess the Democrats are addicted.

I know, we could get into the “both sides do it” debate but we all know who is doing the lying on an industrial scale here.

“We pay for every red cent in this bill.” The 5 trillion dollar bill “will cost zero.” This bill will reduce inflation and create jobs. All the people agree with it, they say.

So all the negatives we counter about it, Democrats come right back with their heads on a swivel (picture exorcist) to say it will fix the problem we say it creates.

There are far too many lies to ty to list even the biggest ones. However, a few are just so disturbing you want to pull out your hair. They get away with it because they have a license, enforced by major media and the Democrats.

We tell them we don’t like CRT taught in our schools. They tell us that CRT does not exist, and thus certainly is not used in schools. There is no CRT agenda.

We tell them their spending is not on infrastructure. They tell us how everything is infrastructure: feeding and changing the baby is infrastructure. They balk when we say it is a socialist agenda from radical commies hell-bent on destroying our country, even as they tell us they are socialists. They say we are over reacting and delving in conspiracy theories. No, they are the conspirators.

We tell them the Russian hoax was cooked up by Hillary, back-fed into our government intelligence apartus to use against a candidate/president. They say we are making it up.

Peter Strzok weaponized political campaign dirt – from foreign sources they colluded with – against our election and government. Now it is proven they were fully aware of where the information(shit) came from but they used it even to gain FISA warrants to investigate a candidate, president and his organization. No, we are trying to destroy democracy.

Democrats said we were blowing smoke and it was all justified. Now as the scant Special Counsel investigation details come out to validate their sources and methods, they simply ignore it in MSM and can’t be bothered to report it. Wouldn’t you think if they really believed the initial Hoax that they might be surprised by the facts and truth – facts left out of the Mueller Report? But no — they don’t seem very shocked.

Now we find out this administration is on a mission to pay illegal immigrants for being “separated” from their children, during the Trump administration, to the tune of over 400 grand per person. First they claimed that was not true.

But the real number for the victims was 2 million and that DOJ is engaged in a settlement with their friends in the ACLU. (That should almost be a conflict of interest right there)

But then Biden justified it and the administration is now saying it is being done to save taxpayers and the government money. Say what? “Don’t you want to save money?”

So whenever they spend money they are saving us money. How come all the people who suffered under their absurd lockdowns were not entitled to damages, inflicted by the government? Damages to people, actual citizens, are not covered but payouts are made to illegal aliens for some spurious claims of damnage.

These people are sick. Apparently the idea is to drive anyone who doesn’t agree with their radical agenda crazy, or as clinically insane as they are. A least when they get their way, they are happy sickos.

It’s the same principle as radical Islamist terrorists of Taqiyya, where adherents are encouraged to lie and deceive to accomplish radical objectives, to defend themselves.

It looks like the same thig, only these people do it with abandon without any regard for you knowing they are lying. The onus is always shifted to their opposition to prove they are lying. Once you do they say it doesn’t matter.

If you said the sky is blue and that abortion kills children; they would say “no it’s not blue and those are not children by any definition.” You say they are babies, they say they are not. You say they are offspring fetuses to which they deny it. Get it? You say life begins at conception and they say it begins when they say it does, or it doesn’t, depending what they choose. You say it is murder, they call it an act of mercy.(see mercy killings in Islamism)

They tell us the problem is that we need to lower our expectations, by a lot. When they push spending programs they say we need to raise our expectations — it should be limitless. We point out the problems at the open border. They tell us the real problem is our perception of a problem. What crisis?

That takes us up to Jennifer Granholm. She went on Bloomberg and was asked what she and the administration is doing to bring down the price of gas and energy. She laughed in his face calling it hilarious. Granholm complained about OPEC controls while chaining us more to it. She said we have to think of the long term. But there is no attempt, in the short term, to stop us from slitting our own throats. She denied they have any restrictions on fossil energy — just as they are eying up a new pipeline in Michigan for possible closure. But they admit their plan is to end the use of fossil fuels. No restricting going on here.

They tell us they don’t want to abolish cops. Their whole agenda began under the banner of abolishing the police. Then they called it “defunding” – which if you do the math means the same thing. But they deny what they are doing, even when people scream to stop defunding police. The statistics show they are eliminating cops. It was the objective, after all. But they deny that too. Not them!

They even tell us we will be safer if we eliminate the police. What nonsense. You name the problem, they say they are doing the opposite and are really fixing it.

You say they are ruining  us and destroying our country from the foundations up, and out. They tell us they are expanding the Constitution.

The point is,  I used to talk about all the wacky arguments because they needed to be brought into daylight when it was coming from margins on the left.  Now they are doing it in broad daylight echoed by the mainstream. We all see it, They deny what we see/hear.

So what the hell is it with the denial about it? You would think that there cannot be any disagreement on what they are doing in our faces. But no, they laugh at you, then they mock you, then say “no, you are wrong.” They would not ever wittingly do anything to harm the country…. except that they deliberately are.

Normalcy Is Dead

That is a declarative statement because I don’t think there is any question about it. Talking in terms of politics, normalcy is dead but when that occurred could be debated. People should be able to agree on that unless in severe denial.

Why that is important ranges the gambit. However, a recent post about world power rivalry left me thinking about this whole relationship in regards to individual countries.

So I did a little personal exercise thinking of all the people I’ve loosely known from other countries and then thought of what condition their countries are in now, as opposed to say 40-50 years ago. Or even around the time of Reagan as a milestone.

My observation and conclusion, which could be flawed and subject to my own biases, is that most of those countries were on a better trajectory years ago. Now it seems like every one of them is headed toward an opposite, questionable future.

Sure reasons could be too numerous to mention, but as a rule the political future in those countries is in jeopardy. I refer to places like Hong Kong, Venezuala, Taiwan, even Japan has some issues with respect to China. I also added Puerto Rico and Haiti in for flavor.

Yes, China was one of the countries in my short list of about 10 or so. It had some positives. A lot has changed about and in it in those years. Even the trajectory back then of China until now is dramatically different in people’s eyes. And much more so since the pandemic.

In America we like to wish the best on others, which in turn would usually be good for the US. It hasn’t really worked that way though for either of us – meaning for their future or ours. Maybe that is just wave of the times. This is tied to many coincidental factors. Maybe it is much simpler that a larger momentum is going in the wrong direction. (for all)

You could try your own thought experiment plugging in various countries of your choice. I am looking for what it tells us and I don’t like the messages that I am getting. For instance, in general is the world a much more dangerous place than it was decades ago, or not? But in this analysis, one has to be honest about it across the board.

 

That is why it seems with the US — as much as we heard about a return to normalcy during the 2020 election — we got a lot less normalcy, by any standards, than we were promised. In fact, what is normal anymore? Is it it an illusion, or some abstract?

But actually that whole idea of normalcy is very overrated. I was not too fond of that political normalcy prior to 2016 anyway. Good riddance. Except can we just finally admit that normalcy, as they define it, is not the solution in any of these problems but part of the disease? In fact, it could even be a chief cause. (I offer no proof of that)

Let us be done talking about normalcy like some aspirational goal. What is now substituted for normal has more faults than the old Minneapolis Bridge. I could stand losing a concept, or security blanket, of “normal” but I don’t like losing the entire country and way of life along with it.

But there is something more grounded and fundamental than normal. It’s called common sense. And when you lose that there is a price to pay. Things fall apart; they don’t make sense like they once did. Up is down and down is up. We lose ground quickly.

I’m not saying those other countries are suffering for the same reasons. In some ways, other countries have seemed to retain a normalcy without losing values like common sense. It is just that there are more external factors working against them than there used to be.

So the US might be unique in the reasons it is going in the wrong direction or under more threats than the past. It could be much more our fault than in those other countries. For example, as improved as things have gotten in Taiwan over the years, they are now under greater threat than ever. I can’t blame that on the Taiwan people. They didn’t cause it.

Look what happened to Hong Kong. It’s been robbed of its future. Once a thriving beacon, it suffered not due to internal struggles and threats but from a tyrannical external one.

Venezuela likely had many external pressures. Their futures might be bleak now as is ours. But theirs is not simply a matter of internal collapse, but coming from forces outside.

When a nation loses its independence and identity, shit happens. When its sovereignty is stripped away for whatever reasons, it is open to all kinds of rot from the worst places even within, none of which are positive, and evil flourishes.

May the correct force be with us. Normalcy is not the cure.

Peaking Powers

This could just as easily been entitled the feuding powers, but it is much worse than that. There are powers at their peak capacities in diametric conflict for winner take all.

It is not just enough anymore to be one of the main powers across a globe of established powers. It is a matter of who can peak first and stay there, due to that power, and thereby harness the world under its own centralized appendages.

Once that is accomplished, of course, it is only a matter of staying there — by any means.

This is not even your father’s or grandparents “globalism” anymore. All for one and one for all will simply mean which one of the powers at large will succeed in unifying the other subordinate powers under their [national and economic] structure?

But even in a day of advanced technology, it does not seem that many people take this all as seriously as they should. I know, complacency and comfort has a lot to do with it. How many people just don’t care? How many think “que será, será?”

On the other hand, it seems that China understands this power dynamic pretty well, even if we don’t. They are playing a different game than all the rest of us. But of course Joe Biden looks at them and says, “they are no competition for us.”

Think about this for a moment. Out of the last decade plus, there has been just less than 4 years where we have been pushing back or fighting against the domestic decline of America from within. As tough as it was, the rest of the 12 years was advantage Democrats. (8 – 4)

There is one way to put it: it is the MAGA vs. the MAWA. (Make America Weak Again) After all the buttressing we did, and tried to do, in the last four years to push back on this weakening, we are now left with a reversal of much of the momentum we had built. No, the battle is not lost; it is only getting more desperate and serious.

Recently someone in the administration resigned saying China has won in AI. What a horrible thought. We have nuclear weapons, we have drone technology Joe calls “over the horizon capabilities.” But China has advanced by leaps and bounds.

Now China tests a hyper-sonic missile delivery system for nuclear weapons. That is five times the speed of sound. (767 mph x 5 = 3,835 mph, 63.91 m/per minute, 1.065 mps)

So we are now at the point where the speed of sound is slow. Who knew that would happen? Hyper-sonic is a long way from breaking the sound barrier.

So what to make of this peaking powers battle?. (or is it really a war) It would be, in effect, the coldest war ever. This is not for a spot at the table; it is for the table, house and all the cards. It means they win the world loses, and that is the way China is playing it.

What good is our peak power, or superpower standing, if they are in control of the world? It can’t happen, you say? Think again. What is there to stop them? MAGA or  MAWA?

Kabul Attack Victims

In the aftermath of the attack on the Kabul Airport, we are learning some names of victims killed. There were 10 Marines, 1 Navy corpsman.

So far some of the young personnel were named, with one woman being Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee, who was 23 years old.

For some reason it conjured up an old Dr Hook song from the 70’s, but I don’t really know why? Anyway here it is, “Sylvia’s Mother”. It was a biographical song by the writer.

Picture it: America 2021

Just as you thought the US had enough real, serious and pressing problems to deal with, along comes Joe Biden to litter the stage with endless crises (created at the drop of a hat) Then, after every one, he shuffles off in denial at what he’s done.

As if every box in the closet marked “super-crisis,” Joe has to drag out into the room and open up to stimulate his own curiosities and the zombified adherents. The shocked look on his face only adds to the absurd plot line and effects.

Then, after exploding our outrage, he shuffles off for a respite. The spoiler alert should have been Obama saying, “never underestimate Joe’s ability to f— things up.” But no.

OBidenistas thought he was exactly the front man for this role. And it should have been named, like some novel, “Crazy Meets Crazier: the great fall of common sense.”

I could go on but why bother? It has the feel of chasing a garbage truck, when you can’t wait to get to the shower. But someone stole it. The question is how much intention is in the  plot line? Or is it a haphazard mixture to keep the outrage meter pegged?

 

But don’t take my word for it. The empire imploding is a theme.

Chris Evans,
EDITOR — The Telegraph

The chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan has prompted fundamental questions about the future of Western foreign policy, with America stepping back from its usual role on the world stage. For Allister Heath, the crisis confirms that the era of US dominance is over. Racked with self-doubt, US elites have lost their faith in once-formative values like capitalism, democracy and even the American dream itself.
