Zerohedge today has a republished article that plays into the Newsweek bombshell story yesterday about America’s Political Police, the FBI, targeting “MAGA Republicans”. I think that’s some sort of official designation. Anyway, the Zerohedge artice—which I recommend in its entirety—starts off with an item that I’ve been wondering about. Remember how Tucker Carlson was trying to arrange an interview with President Putin? What ever happened with that? Well …
In the UK the Deep state is doing the same kind of thing against Lawrence Fox and Russell Brand. This is depressing but in a way, it's also good news. It shows how scared they are getting.
While I cautiously agree to the possible extent of the good news, I continue to be appalled at the depth and scope of the perfidy that is directed towards the citizens of this country and their Constitutional rights. And where exactly are our elected politicians-yeh, that would be you Republicans-screaming at the top of their lungs about these outrageous usurpations?
The country is rapidly sliding into complete tyranny and we pretty much get nothing but prerecorded cricket sounds from the political class. They do manage to express outrage over who gets what office space, you know, the “really important stuff”!
And, yes, I’m seriously pissed over a group that has elevated dis, mal and mis information to an art form claiming to have the authority to “filter” all information since I’m obviously too stupid to perform the task myself. Don’t believe I’m alone in my sentiments either.
Yep, Tucker is right, stuff is gonna hit the fan in the next 12 months.
Dear SMH - agree the silence of the pols despite real obvious problems is a sign of system distress. None the less, to my memory & mind, US cultural tensions have previously reached and exceeded today's levels even in the not too distant past (but of course the examples show up looking different each era). Specifically, the period from the mid 60's to perhaps late 70's had in its social currents race, riots, revolution, sex and same sex, class, war, impeachment, fiscal and resource shocks, and a global cooling Malthusian cry of the heart. Pretty great music too. The times are very frustrating, yet we peeps will adapt and find a good way.
Those Antifa and BLM riots, burning down city blocks, attacking a federal courthouse, throwing Molotov cocktails at police, etc. et. al. pale in comparison to the MAGA movement... Right...
These tools must really believe their own propaganda. I had a conversation today outside a military commissary with another veteran who, out of the blue, said he couldn't trust the FBI anymore. Gee, I wonder why?
Ironically, since the US is the country which has presumably thrived the most in the last 150 years generally under principles of meritocracy, free markets, free speech, open and transparent competition, rule of law and due process, fiscal prudence and investment capitalism, we seem to doubt the veracity or vitality of these principles and would seem to prefer to compete through affirmative action, secrecy, censorship, military coercion, authoritarianism, welfare payments, fiat currency, crony capitalism and arbitrary rules-based order.
It looks like Vladimir Putin sees the world more clearly than Biden (or his keepers) or Schwab and it is hard to disagree with him that our days are numbered if we don't change course.
It's sad how our ruling elite can't be satisfied with having everything anyone could wish for. They also have to have everything that everyone else has.
That is the sole logic behind transitioning our country from a thriving meritocracy to a floundering authoritarian plutocracy under the guise of democracy.
But I think our 'ruling elite' is at the end of the day only interested in money and power and will do anything (literally anything) to 'obtain' the votes to get more...
"According to Putin, globalists including Schwab and his close advisors are “legitimate military targets” because they have been actively attempting to seize power illegally via a globalist coup d’etat."
That's an interesting concept. Coincidentally or not, Russia just successfully tested a nuclear powered (yes, you read that right) cruise missile that can strike globally.
It's only fair that people who push certain policies get to feel the consequences of those policies. Schwab and his brood need to feel some very personal consequences of what they are doing.
If you have the bad luck to read the UK Daily Mail, you see similar labelling. Except with them, anyone who strays from the discourse is "ranting". That makes them seem angry and unhinged.
Tha idea that they can just shut Trump inc down in NY and steal all his assets cannot be sustained. The SCOTUS will have to take the case. It’s eminent domain on steroids in addition to being outright theft. The “crime” is a nothing, and the suggested punishment is nuclear. So many grounds for dismissal.
I certainly don't think they're unable to penetrate it. Instead, I think they prefer (or are ordered) to ignore it.
Actually, let me take that back - maybe they can't penetrate it. They're much better at standing up their own militant organizations, getting a couple angry people angrier, and then acting like there's a problem.
I don’t believe he would lie either, can’t see what he could possibly gain. I do think that it’s another testament to just how out of control and despotic the elites have become. Tucker said that they would pull out all the stops, exhibit “A”?
Fascists are not even trying to hide the fact that they rule the West now.

Musk will prove to be as tough as Trump. Or tougher. And he won't have to inflate the value of his fortune.
I doubt he’ll go quietly into the dark night

@mtgreenee
Trump supporters continue to be targeted and persecuted by Joe Biden’s weaponized FBI and Department of Injustice.
All while BLM and Antifa terrorists get off scot-free after destroying millions of dollars of property.
This must end. Defund the weaponized government!!

Margie talks a good fight.
How many divisions does Schwab have?

Yep. It's the FBI's community outreach service.
A paramilitary wing of the DNC gets all the private funding it needs?
And Carter Page, too.
:-)
Beat me to it.
Grounds? We don't need no stinkin' grounds!
Remember when someone from 60 minutes interviewed Sadaam? Don’t recall much of an uproar then. Hmmm.
They will try to take out Matt Gaetz.
I'm very curious. It's hard to believe he'd fib.
