Now that the left is, in their minds, on the cusp of taking over, they are calling for the elimination of the Constitution. Mostly, they are angry that the nation isn’t a pure Democracy where the 49% minority who live in between the coasts is ruled over by the people who live on the east and west coasts.
They want a return to slavery. In this way, the city dwellers in Los Angeles and New York can vote to declare that housing, food, and medical care are basic human rights that must be provided to them free of charge.
The people who don’t live in major cities would be forced to work to provide these things to the cities free of charge. They ignore that, without the Constitution, the government is no longer a representative of the people, bound to serve them under a social contract: it is instead an occupying force that rules over them by force of arms. The only way to maintain this power is from the barrel of a gun. This won’t end well for anyone, as Americans don’t respond well to violent dictatorships. As if our national motto is: “You can’t tell me what to do,” Americans will resist any attempt to lord over them with force.
The NY Times article that spawned this post mentions something that I think is the only way to avoid the civil war that is coming: A National divorce. The country breaking up into different, distinct nations is the only way that this bloodshed could conceivably be avoided. I also don’t think it will happen, because the left can’t force people to provide them with free stuff unless they have people to do the work.
Each of those on the communist left see themselves as being able to sit around the house smoking weed, playing video games, and writing shitty poetry while someone else provides them with food, water, shelter, and medical care. They can’t do that if no one is in their control that can be forced to do that for them.
So we are headed for a violent period in this nation that will make the last civil war look, well, civil. Think of the years of 1865, but with half a dozen factions fighting it out for supremacy, and where one, or perhaps even more than one, side is in possession of nuclear weapons.
Ed and Brian Krassenstein were making money from Ponzi schemes and illegal porn sites. One of the web addresses that they owned was 17onlygirls (dot) com. They were domain name squatters who specialized in web addresses that promoted child porn and illegal Ponzi schemes. Ponzi fraud type sites were also a part of their business. They ran investment forums TalkGold and MoneyMakerGroup until the Department of Justice accused them of profiting from Ponzi scheme promoters through the sites. They owned tens of thousands of web domains, which they sold to the highest bidder while pretending not to know that the domains would be used for.
Screenshots of his messages from 2007 appear to show him negotiating over buying three addresses: TeenPies.com, TeenPie.com, and TeenPorn101.com.
There is no suggestion that the Krassensteins ran porn sites themselves. But by buying porn site domains, they stood to gain from selling or leasing those addresses.
They were being investigated by the FBI. A civil asset forfeiture was filed against them. Federal agents raided their homes and seized almost half a million dollars from the brothers in 2017, obtained from selling ads for Ponzi schemes on investment web forums that they ran. They entered a plea agreement to forfeit the some of the profits and avoid jail.
In exchange for returning some of the funds, the Krassenstein twins gave up nearly half a million dollars of the millions that they made on the Ponzi and porn site schemes that they were accused of, and the FBI agreed not to prosecute them. That was in August of 2017.
Just after that, the Krassensteins purchased a Twitter account that was being run as a Justin Bieber fan club, because the account had a follower account that was over half a million people strong. This allowed them maximum reach. Keep in mind that this was bought after the FBI let them keep money from the illicit gains of their Ponzi and porn site business. It certainly gives the impression that at least some of the funds for that purchase were gains from the business activities that the DOJ was investigating.
Then the Bieber account transitioned to become one of Trump’s largest critics on Twitter. Today, the accounts of those two fraudsters have almost 2 million followers and are major supporters of both Democrats and Harris, while being major critics of Trump.
So two guys who were admittedly involved in child porn sites and were alleged by the DOJ as being involved in Ponzi schemes, Fraud, and porn sites enter a plea agreement where they return a fraction of what they were alleged to have defrauded people out of, and the investigation is dropped. Then they use large sums of money to buy influence on social media and immediately begin targeting the President of the United States (Trump) as part of a coordinated a propaganda and disinformation campaign. Now they are shilling for Kamala Harris and the Democrats on social media.
Now that the facts are done, we get into my conclusions. This has all of the appearances of being an FBI (or other intel organization) funded and controlled operation.
I’ve been asking where the money to influence elections and favoring Democrats is coming from. My theory is that the sums of money are so large that it must be a nation state that is sponsoring the billions (perhaps tens of billions) of dollars that is being used to influence our elections. No individual has that kind of money to toss around without sure results.
The answer that most easily fits all of these facts is the most frightening of any possible one that I can come up with: I think that the nation state that is funding the rigging of US elections is none other than the US government itself. The money is being funneled from the US bureaucracy through the Ukraine, China, through criminal organizations, and through grants to NGOs to benefit the members of our elected officials, who in turn are giving large sums of money to the swamp. This is more frightening than thinking a foreign nation is interfering. A representative government that is interfering in its own elections is the most frightening of all scenarios.
This would explain why the left has so much money, how the riots and election shenanigans were so well coordinated, and how the Wuhan lab was being funded by Fauci to perform gain of function research is all explained when looked at through this lens. It explains why almost no one in the riots of 2020 faced jail time, while those who participated in J6 are rotting away even four years later, many without trials and only charged with trespassing or other minor crimes.
This is why Trump is their enemy. He swore to drain the swamp, without even realizing that he was up to his ass in alligators. This is also why I fear that the days of this blog are coming to an end. I am willing to argue with idiot leftists. I have no illusions of being able to stay active criticizing the American version of the KGB or the Stazi. I do not want to be vzyali.
I took the trouble to look up my patient from the other day. Less than 6 hours after I transferred her to the ICU, she passed away. Although I knew she was dying, I fought a battle for her to the best of my ability to keep her alive while simultaneously preparing her family for the inevitable. Even though her family weren’t yet ready to admit that she was about to die, I understood that I was buying time for them to come to terms with her death. They told me that she was “a fighter” and would pull through. I knew she wouldn’t, but I still did all that I could for her and for them.
I grew up in the late 70s and early 80s. I remember sitting in school and hearing the local church bells ring 53 times each day at noon, in honor of the hostages being held in Iran. I remember watching the rockets leave, carrying astronauts to the moon. My father worked with rockets and missiles, so I get to go to mroe than a few launches, including the launch of the Apollo-Soyuz mission. I grew up on bands that made some of the best music:
Journey
AC/DC
Dokken
Rush
Styx
Pink Floyd
Aerosmith
Dire Straits
Men at Work
Guns n’ Roses
Motley Crue
Van Halen
and though I didn’t realize it at the time, there were many other sounds and bands that I would come to appreciate more in later years, including Duran Duran. (It wasn’t cool to like them in the circle I ran with). I still sit and listen to the songs of the time, remembering my youth and the things that I saw. I had the distinct honor of serving in the military under President Ronald Reagan, and some of those songs take me back to my time in Europe listening to AFRN.
For those reasons, this article at Legal Insurrection really hit home for me. It does occasionally sadden me to have lived through some of the best times and the high water mark of the greatest nation in human history, only to see it destroyed. This nation isn’t perfect, but it has raised more people from poverty and has accomplished more great things than any other in human history. Watching it die is like watching someone that you love slowly die of cancer.
Like cancer, what is killing this nation came from within. I understand why some of the readers of this blog still think that it can be saved. I went through a period of believing that the old lady was a fighter. I know better now, and I am saddened at our loss, but also filled with resolve at doing what needs to be done as we venture out into an unknowable future.
I want you to look at this story. The left entered the House gallery and “protested” in an attempt to derail Congress. Not one of them was charged with interfering with the government before being locked up for years while awaiting trial.
The “protesters” grabbed a cop and dragged him across the ground. None of them were arrested.
🚨#UPDATE New footage shows Pro-Palestine protesters dragging a U.S. Park Police officer on the ground as law enforcement officers made arrests outside Union Station. Additionally, significant vandalism was done to the Freedom Bell by protesters pic.twitter.com/csHElDH418
The left is going to overthrow the government, and the right will do nothing but sit around arguing about shit that is completely irrelevant. It’s the biggest problem that I have with libertarians, and it keeps rearing its head. The left is using violence to alter an election, again. Meanwhile, the right is busy arguing about semantics.
Federal prosecutors sought a top-of-the-guidelines sentence o 37 months in prison – describing him as a “cheerleader” for violent rioters and saying he could be expected to be back at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2025, if his preferred candidate again doesn’t win.
You bet your ass, if the left cheats another election, many people will be back to protest the results- and next time, you can expect them to be armed. They won’t repeat the mistakes of 2021.
Anyway, Fellows also got an additional 5 months for contempt of court for calling the proceedings a kangaroo court being run by a bunch of Nazis. Since the Feds had held him in pretrial confinement for 32 months before his conviction, he was out less than a year later.
“You have repeatedly made a mockery of these proceedings,” McFadden said, noting Fellows had shown the “height of contempt” for all three branches of government and had “flagrantly lied” on the stand at trial. McFadden also pushed back against Fellows’ belief that he was the victim of a “grand conspiracy” against him.
This guy acted more like a prisoner in a POW camp than he does a criminal. He has my respect. From the Code of Conduct:
If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
So that’s the background. Now to the point of today’s story. Fellows was eating dinner in a DC restaurant with journalist Connie Clifford. (Note that the report calls her “right-wing journalist Connie Clifford” but Newsweek doesn’t ever refer to CNN reporters as “left-wing journalist Chris Matthews.”) Fellows was wearing a MAGA cap and talking about the progress of his case. A nearby commie couple was annoyed and a verbal argument began, with Clifford catching the argument on camera. The couple told him he was “not welcome with your Trump bullshit.”
The female of the couple slapped Fellows in the face, and Fellows pushed her away. At that point, the woman’s companion began punching Fellows in the face.
The violence is ramping up again. They want us dead- they want you dead. Prepare for what is to come. Things are going to get much, much worse. They are going to try and kill or enslave you. Be ready for that.
I post this to show you an interesting situation. Watch the video below and see comments below:
JUST IN: Horrifying police bodycam footage shows a Connecticut man luring and ambushing two police officers after getting into an altercation with police.
The incident was triggered after Nicholas Brutcher was ticketed and had his car towed after getting into an altercation with… pic.twitter.com/tqKFpG4MlB
To begin with, the cops during the traffic stop were taunting the intoxicated man and attempting to escalate the situation so they could get him to do something that would permit a felony arrest. They were being assholes. It’s easy to be the bully when you are armed and outnumber the unarmed target of your abuse three to intoxicated one.
The intoxicated man decided that he was going to get revenge, called 911, and executed an ambush. Two officers were killed and one wounded.
That’s all I want to talk about in this case. Instead I want to point out that one intoxicated man successfully ambushed three cops. Now ask what would happen when cops decide to exceed the tolerance of the citizens they are sworn to serve. What could two, three, or ten armed citizens accomplish once they decide that they are going to hunt?
As empires collapse, the government employees/legislators begin to loot the treasury in preparation for the coming hard times. I believe that we are there. In support of this, I offer the increasingly blatant examples of Congress making hundreds of millions, the Bidens selling access, this morning’s story about CBP agents on the take, and someone in the Arkansas Department of Education creating a fake $66 million contract that, according to the vendor, doesn’t exist.
This morning I interviewed Jeff Jones,CEO of Solution Tree for a story airing on Monday's Ozarks at Large. He pointed out is that the Transparency website for the state of Arkansas shows they have $149.9 million in contracts with the state. Except… he says they don't. 🧵1/5 pic.twitter.com/6hcTDpsszO
I have been posting on this since 2009, nearly since this blog began.
Reagan borrowed his first trillion in 6 years
George HW Bush borrowed his first trillion in 3 years, and he increased the National debt by 170% in four years.
It took President Clinton 3 and a half years to borrow his first trillion dollars. All told, he borrowed $1.2 trillion in his first term, and $600 billion in his second. He increased the national debt by 140% in eight years.
President George W Bush borrowed his first trillion dollars in two and a half years. He borrowed his second trillion a year and a half later. Another two years, another $1 trillion. All told, President Bush borrowed $5 trillion in 8 years, increasing the national debt by 187%.
Obama borrowed his first trillion in 13 months.
Trump borrowed his first trillion in just over 7 months. In all, he borrowed about $8 trillion in four years.
Biden has borrowed $6 trillion in the three and a half years he has been in the Oval office. Now we are borrowing a trillion dollars every 5 and a half months.
The US treasury has borrowed $24 trillion in the past 15 years.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office estimates that George was paid between $300,000 and $400,000 during the time he worked with traffickers. Among the purchases George made with the bribe money include cars, motorcycles, and jewelry, prosecutors said.
