Brief Notes On Dopes--It's A Slow News Day

I don’t normally pay much attention to reporting on the Biden Crime Family and the way it has dragged our country and its institutions to new depths of degeneracy and corruption. What’s the point? Zhou is a tool—literally and figuratively—of others, and his grifting family is along for the ride. It’s the “others” that I prefer to focus on. Nevertheless, recent revelations of the way Zhou is protected—and the fact that it is a slowish news day—force my hand.

Today Thomas Lifson offers an excellent summary of the shenanigans surrounding Hunter’s coke stash in the library:

Eight reasons to believe a cover-up is underway on the cocaine found in the White House

The discovery of a stash of cocaine in the White House became public because a hazmat team was sent in on the possibility that the white powdery substance might have been anthrax or some other deadly terror weapon. Were it not for the hazmat team's highly visible and noteworthy arrival, I believe it is quite possible that the matter would have been handled with the discretion for which the Secret Service is famous (and notorious), protecting the privacy of the first family.

Now that we know about it, there are multiple signs that a cover-up is underway to protect someone whom the Secret Service guards.

One: the "evolving" location in which the coke was found

And, with that, eight more reasons to go! And that location angle continues to evolve:

Holy Coke: The White House Cocaine Story Changes Yet Again

None of this passes the laugh test—not even for hardened cynics.

Don Bongino is probably laughing. I didn’t see him when he wrote this:

There’s absolutely ZERO chance anyone other than a family member brought that cocaine inside the White House complex. No chance that would make it past the mag/security checkpoints. Family bypasses those.

Libs are funny. They’re apparently unaware that at a MAG/SECURITY checkpoint you’re forced to empty your pockets, and all of your bags are checked too. That’s how they keep potential bio-chem weapons out.

I’ve written repeatedly, but not recently, about ArchB Vigano’s thesis of the Deep Church, which is a branch of what you could call the Globalist Deep State. George Bergoglio is doing his, um, darndest to confirm Vigano’s thesis these days—as if it hadn’t been obvious from his parroting of every WEF meme presented to him for parroting. First he appointed his little friend Tucho to a high post in a small city state. You can read all about it here—at length—in an article written by an Argentine blogger:

Analysis of motives behind Francis appointing Victor Manuel Fernandez to the Doctrine of the Faith

The author gets off some good lines, like this one:

It is curious, on the other hand, that Mons. Tucho, the pontifical sweetheart, has with astonishing naivety confessed in his letter that the pope has prepared for him to live in a little house inside the Vatican, with a terrace and a view of the gardens. It is probably one of the little houses in which the Renaissance popes lodged their mistresses, which is not a good precedent.

Still, the author searches in his analysis for that elusive silver lining, and finally comes up with this on the ninth try:

9) Finally, something good can be drawn from all this. In the first place, Bergoglio has definitively assassinated neoconservatism or the "middle line." It is no longer a slip of the tongue, it is no longer a question of interpretation of the facts -- for indeed, the appointment of Bishop Fernandez was even accompanied by a letter to clear up any doubts on the matter! It is no longer possible to remain in the middle and continue defending the indefensible. Secondly, Bergoglio has also assassinated hyperpapalism, the "magisterialism" so dear to some, and the delirious idea of a pontiff conceived as a hypostasis of the Holy Spirit (so much to the taste of ultramontanism).

Perhaps. These are the types of argumentation that won’t induce me to start holding my breath.

Not to be outdone by his recent past …

Monical Showalter covers the latest moral degradation of a once proud institution, and in the process dredges up another recent slap at decency by Bergoglio—while noting the recent manic descent that gets steeper every day:

Pope holds a private audience with Alex Soros and Bill Clinton

Pope Francis seems determined to top himself these days.

As if greeting the "Piss Christ" artist wasn't sufficiently disgusting, now he's held a private audience with corrupt, pervy Bill Clinton and global abortion moneybags Alex Soros.

Lastly, Jim Rickards came up with a nice, readable article in which he takes out after Globalism and Globalists:

Globalist Elites Fear You

It’s timely, in that the growing concern of globalists over the rise of popular unrest is almost palpable—in some quarters, such as the minority faction on the SCOTUS, it has reached the point of babbling hysteria. Or, take the German Greens talking about the AfD, for another example. It’s all over.

Rickards attacks free trade ideology and defends mercantilism—refreshing in this day and age. He points out how all their attempts to define global problems to enable global solutions—think of the Covid and Climate hoaxes—have actually backfired, as the public has caught on. In the middle of the article he takes out after Jeffrey Sachs. I wanted to point that out, because I have quoted Sachs several times in the past for his sensible views on the war on Russia. I have previously described Sachs as a globalist agent in the Vatican, so I don’t want anyone to imagine I’m unaware of who he is. I do quote broken clocks when their twice a day moments of lucidity come up.

The article won’t make you much smarter, but it may give pause for reflection and even encouragement. For example, Rickards sees the same kind of shift in geopolitics that others (cited yesterday) also see coming in the new multi-polar world order:

But globalists have slowly realized that the nationalist trend is not an anomaly but a powerful force that is reversing globalist policies that have been ascendant since 1989, or even since the end of World War II, when institutions like the IMF and World Bank were established to promote globalist goals.

But right now, free trade is on the ropes, currency wars are rampant, there’s an actual war in Eastern Europe and geopolitical hotspots like Taiwan are becoming more dangerous.
