I’ve gathered excerpts from a number of blog posts/articles that in my view offer fairly penetrating socio-political commentary on the nature of our contemporary social state.
An article at CT is making me question the narrative even more. Plus some of the other actions by the fbi.
1. Fbi / Doj has a special team that deploys for Waukesha type events. CT forecast the playbook, and he was right. Basically doj / fbi want to control the narrative to hide the racial angle. They don’t do this when the races are reversed.
At Redstate they noted somebody attacked a gop senators office. And got probation. Contrast with The 42 months for the insurrectionist Shaman, who’s lawyer after the sentence insulted Trump in a profanity laced rant.
And the fbi for the longest time claimed no known motive for the shooter of Steve Scalise, at the gop congressional softball practice.
And what happened to Rand Paul in DC.
And there were a bunch of fbi informants of the Malcom X shooting (minimum 9), that stayed silent so two innocents were jailed for 20 years.
And the number of fbi informants for the Whitmer “kidnapping”. 12 of 17 involved?
All the above is provable.
And this is not even bringing up the fiascos of Russiagate, project Veritas, Roger Stone swat raid, Antifa is not an organized group, targeting parents for crt, the election fraud whistleblower raids, Hunter Biden laptop, etc.
So based on the above…
What does this mean for the fbi and the Las Vegas shooting?
Would the fbi deliberately ignore evidence the shooter was a Leftist?
Before the treehouse article in Waukesha I thought no way,
Last I read the police chief had "debunked the rumor" that the guy was fleeing another crime. He's been charged with "intentional homicide". I think there was an initial effort, still continuing on CNN, to obfuscate. I think that will exactly no one.
While I find it interesting reading yet more lists of how the progressives are taking over the world, I have yet to see an article that explains what we are to do about it. Specifically. Steps to take today. By normal people. Those who cannot risk their jobs or companies. We've done the rallies. We've voted for true conservatives. We speak up when we hear stupid wokeness. But it's not enough.
I believe if you look to the Soros actions in the Ukraine and other parts of Europe you'll find your answer. The general destabilizing helps their efforts by giving method and motive to useful idiots in causing chaos. Your basically fueling the fires of discontent by offering no accountability.
Look at the SUV Christmas parade attack yesterday, the perp is a direct result of this process working.
Russia and others had (IMHO) the right answer to this in kicking Soros and their NGOs out of the country (2015'ish onward) and for exactly those reasons.
Marx and Engels proved these ideas to work at one point in history. Where I don't think you'll be as successful today as they were the cry's for anarchy still ring well with the younger and more naive.
As I often point out, none of these things are new. Every individual has their own awakenings to the realities that surround them in their own time. Obama didn't corrupt the FBI, the FBI from DOJ's inception was always corrupt. Our elections have always been disasters riddled with fraud and Soros learned some of his best tricks from the Nazis as a kid.
I always feel guilty for being so cynical but I lost my ability to lean on the idea of exceptionalisum a long time ago. These things are the plan evil that we just need to accept for what they are.
Ray, where I'm landing is the WEF is leading a revolution of it's members against everybody else , and the reason they be are revolting on us despite the fact that they are already the powers that be, is that they are trying to stave off or position themselves for an even greater calamity and that is the death of the dollar. I think people like Catherine Austin Fitts and Richard Werner have their finger on the real drivers of what we're experiencing, and as such, the upheaval is unavoidable, we're just rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. Once the defaults and hyperinflation start , there will be no stopping them. Worldwide. I'm not saying I understand exactly, I'm just saying that it would explain their actions and Soros actions. I don't think a central bank currency, as bad as that prospect is for you and me, is going to prevent the coming calamity.
Hegel, sorcery, scamming-it all makes for a heady mixture, but also makes it easy to get super-intellectual and dress up simple facts with a good deal of rationalization. What the Democrats and their fellow-fortifiers did in the unprecedented blatant theft of an election, and are continuing to do in their mismanagement of our affairs is pure evil. I also fail to see the incompetence of President Trump in stabilizing Afghanistan, making America an exporter of energy and facing up to China, in spite of unparalleled resistance of the Uniparty. I would love to go back to when Trump was scamming us.
I think to say it in a short way of getting to the point would be...
Don't overlook the fact that both sides are scamming you. We love to point at the liberals and name the Dems but we almost wholly ignore the other side of the long con... It offers false hope and false change only to lead is into being compliant and subdued.
If they would just stand up... If they would just fight... if we just elect them in 2022 and 2024.
This can't be overemphasized. If you still think it's about Left vs Right, then you still think the Good Cop will somehow save you from the Bad Cop. He never will; they're in cahoots. Their strings are pulled by the same puppet masters. Don't fall for it.
At the same time, I still believe that the R party is the best political hope we have in the US at present, this side of bloodshed. The D party is completely consolidated and impervious to reform from below. The R machine is comparatively weak and fragmented. The only way we can vote our way out of this mess is with landslide turnouts, key election integrity measures (at least reversing the damage done in 2020!) and, most of all, a lot of new outsider candidate. There are plenty of angry voters. The mandate is right there, but don't expect many R incumbents to pick it up, much less run with it. Look at their track records! Get involved as soon as possible. Start local. https://precinctstrategy.com
I have long said so called "Progressivism" (so called because it has nothing to do with progress) is a religion. There is some human need to 'believe'. The Left got rid of God. They had to replace that.
And that's the problem with opposing the Left. They think they are doing their God's work. They can think generationally. How many generations before the Rapture arrives? Who cares as long as they are 'progressing' towards it.
I would say that everything this administration does is guided by a very simple principle: Does this divide us, destroy us, or both? Every single item they have done merits a check mark. Trick question: Can anyone name something good this administration has down that benefits Americans? (other that the corruptocrats that is) Someone else joked that the phrase "conspiracy theory" will now be replaced with the newer correct phrase of "spoiler alert".
With all the chaos going on with the never ending scamdemic, I'm wondering what their next move to cement power despite the ever increasing negative poll numbers? Are they looking to find (create) a new "crisis" to allow them to "win" the midterms on onward. Does that explain the fervor and doubling down we keep seeing? The ignoring the courts, lying about the border being open, bringing dangerous illegals to all parts of the country in the wee hours of the night? etc. etc. etc. All of the data starting to trickle out show the vaccines are stimulating variants of which some are not following the normal pattern of weakening (fact). There is also speculation that there may be issues with the vaccinated's ability to develop proper natural immunity post breakthrough infection by changes to the innate immune system. Karl Denninger pointed out that the UK health data implies that those recovering from breakthrough are not developing both nucleocapsid as well as spike immunity which might leave them vulnerable to future breakthrough infections - meaning don't forget to boost up! Hence, we could be looking at perpetual variants which beget perpetual waves and the justification for more lockdowns and nationwide cheat by mail come next election. Hallo Deutschland und Osterreich as a preview. (not to mention those chaps down under)
That's the only way that it makes sense that they ignore (and double down) despite the growing anger of the masses even if some folks might still believe that so many of the left must just be suffering from Mad Hatter's disease. I'm sure we'll know in the next few months if this going to blow up in their faces or if we all need to study up on Gault. Until then, hope for the best while preparing for the worst.
"In addition there are now a myriad number of reports of people who got Covid again after being vaccinated yet non-vaccinated second infection reports remain nearly non-existent. So if you had the disease and then take the jab the evidence is that it ruined your existing protection, at least in part. How bad that will get is unknown -- but we're going to find out."
Not that I disagree with your thinking but maybe to add to the larger picture.
Keep in mind that the dev of crypto was a direct shot across the bow of government currency. The idea being to create a unregulated currency that was outside of the touch of government. I think this was a well founded idea but they seemed to ignore the adaptability of governments to over take any concept that is threatening to them.
That said, the crypto markets are still doing their fair share to keep shaking up what the governments keep trying it adopt. It's a loosing but amusing battle.
I'll also note that where currency as a means of control is considered we shouldn't overlook the fact that that battle was lost several decades ago to two distinct issues. First that the reserve was given to the banks in the 1920's second that we surrendered to the credit monster between the 1970s and 1980s.
I've often pointed out that the "credit issue" has become one of the biggest defining factors to a complicit and subdued society. No one wants to fight back on anything because they simply owe so much money on everything they pretend they own... But don't! It's really hard to get people in the streets raising holy hell when they have jobs that are required to be kept due to mortgages and car payments.
I see crypto as less of a threat and more of a future means of adaptation to the larger picture. You already live in a cashless society, credit inflation has already put the majority into slavery, the paper we currently touch really isn't currency, we just pretend that it is.
If being conservative meant being financially responsible on a personal level I contend we'd be in much less of a crisis today.
Again, my post isn't meant to counter yours, I'm simply saying the battle ground on the currency subject was plowed to ground almost a century ago. Crypto to me is more of a distraction subject of a war long lost.
Also the brown deal (for those that don't yet know) is a little worse than you are stating. It doesn't actually put communication infrastructure into rural areas. That spending for rural communication development is strictly reserved only for rural areas with particular racial demographics. If that area does not contain such ethnicity, the area doesn't qualify for funding and is left undeveloped.
I happen to live in one of those "unrepresented areas"...
I also suspect we'll see many states suing over that, not because government sponsored racism is wrong but because they want their free cheese.
I don't necessarily disagree. Yes, crypto certainly has (maybe had) the potential to evade government scrutiny/control, but given the ability of the FBI to seize almost $1b in crypto this past year, I'm not sure it's providing the anonymity that many think it can. If we had a crypto buck that replaced all paper fiat, what would prevent them from controlling your spending based on their whims?
As the the infrastructure bill, 65 billion will buy a LOT of hardware, software, cabling, installations services, etc. I spent almost 35 years in tech designing networks and data centers across a number of industries including commercial, state/local gov, ed, and fed and though the bill is targeted to certain segments of society, they have a obscene amount of money here. I had to look it up, but Cisco's annual World Wide sales for 2020 was $50B. Spread across say 50 million people, that's ~ $1300/person.
I keep thinking about the bigger picture of all this supposed insanity aka the great scamdemic, and wonder if this is another step given all we've seen with control to the media narrative, as well as so many other aspects that you would never expect in a "reasonable" world. I'm reading RFK's Jr.s new book on Fauci and it's certainly quite damning of him, but I'm not sold that it's all about big pharma and money given what we already know about how the CCP controls their people and how things are looking down under with fines/property seizures for non-compliance now coming to a Germanic speaking country new you..
So no, I don't disagree with you either. I do think there's something in the middle and we just aren't in the need to know group. Just yet
If they control your currency and can shut it off if for instance you tried to skip booster #39, you won't even need a phone. Can you just see that happy (creepy) smile on Psycho-Bill's face?
My goodness, there is a lot in this article -- I read it too fast, knowing I would go back over it several times. So, guess its content should be read and then absorbed 'quickly then slowly.' Thank you for all of your good work.
Ray, I agree that the actions of the Biden admin can be attributed variously to one or more of the items on your list. However, I appreciate Luongo's point that we should be careful not ato confuse their incompetence with their intentional maliciousness. This gets back to our tendency to want to believe the best about people doing what they are SUPPOSED to be doing. In any case I would characterize the Biden admin as having hubris that is greater than their competence.
Wow, Luongo is spot on, in every respect. "This is why COVID-9/11 will never end. This is why when we say no to the clot shot they double down..." In support of that observation, just today Germany has joined Austria in responding thus to the vast numbers of people protesting the mandates in Europe:
To the second essay, yes, there are many forms of sorcery in the world including most recently Wokeism. The gnostic idea of having a "special knowledge" and of being superior to others has been used as the attraction for capturing new adherents since Satan successfully tempted Eve in the Garden. On that topic I will just add a quote from Chesterton that has played out in the western world over the last decades: “When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing – they believe in anything.”
Trump had a steep learning curve and trusted too much initially in establishment Republicans, that actually were trying to destroy his Presidency. As well as being actively being sabotaged by any means possible by the Democrats in Congress on filling key positions.
Good news is Trump unmasked the uniparty GOP members, and is continuing to do so.
Look at all the former gop thought leaders and organization's, who have lost credibility with the gop voters through their anti Trump activities George Will, NRO, Chris Christy, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, the gop Congress people that voted to impeach Trump, etc.
I expect a lot of primary gop challengers that are going to succeed, to the horror of the gop establishment.
Luongo, if I remember correctly, is more of an extreme libertarian.

I'll bet that you mean "I think that will *fool* exactly no one."
You're right!

Steps to take today. By normal people. Those who cannot risk their jobs or companies. We've done the rallies. We've voted for true conservatives. We speak up when we hear stupid wokeness. But it's not enough.
Something I just don’t get…
Why is George Soros funding a huge amount of anti law and order District Attorneys?
They are destroying through increased crime the blue areas they are in charge of.
Is it to create a color revolution?
Or due to the belief our justice system is corrupt and biased against minorities due to systemic racism? Basically extreme wokism.
Or something I missed?
I believe if you look to the Soros actions in the Ukraine and other parts of Europe you'll find your answer. The general destabilizing helps their efforts by giving method and motive to useful idiots in causing chaos. Your basically fueling the fires of discontent by offering no accountability.

https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=244300
Yes--this is the big story.
The romantic in me wants to believe that the ignoring and doubling down is because they are filled with fury knowing their time is short.
By the way Mark, I know you read up on WEF. Here's a part of the puzzle as I see it:
To control people - you need to control their assets, especially their money.
Therefore, we need to make everyone use our new global-crypto Schwabbucks.
But we would need to have widespread Internet use for this to work, especially in the rural areas.
What if we put 65 billion in the new brown deal for ubiquitous Internet?
Great Idea!!!!
Not that I disagree with your thinking but maybe to add to the larger picture.

No question that's part of the plan. They'll try to force people like me to dump their dumb phones so they can control us.
I got my first smart phone about a year ago. All this QR b.s. has me ready to switch back to the dumb phone.
If they control your currency and can shut it off if for instance you tried to skip booster #39, you won't even need a phone. Can you just see that happy (creepy) smile on Psycho-Bill's face?

Actions due to:
A. Wokism
B. hubris due to knowing they are the anointed
C. incompetence
D. A plan
E. Opposite of anything Trump did
F. All of the above
My vote is for all of the above.
Ray, I agree that the actions of the Biden admin can be attributed variously to one or more of the items on your list. However, I appreciate Luongo's point that we should be careful not ato confuse their incompetence with their intentional maliciousness. This gets back to our tendency to want to believe the best about people doing what they are SUPPOSED to be doing. In any case I would characterize the Biden admin as having hubris that is greater than their competence.
Two more I should have included:
1. Corruption
2. China’s influence
A witch's brew of age old human dysfunction.
Wow, Luongo is spot on, in every respect. "This is why COVID-9/11 will never end. This is why when we say no to the clot shot they double down..." In support of that observation, just today Germany has joined Austria in responding thus to the vast numbers of people protesting the mandates in Europe:
https://twitter.com/DrEliDavid/status/1462441313018814470
To the second essay, yes, there are many forms of sorcery in the world including most recently Wokeism. The gnostic idea of having a "special knowledge" and of being superior to others has been used as the attraction for capturing new adherents since Satan successfully tempted Eve in the Garden. On that topic I will just add a quote from Chesterton that has played out in the western world over the last decades: “When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing – they believe in anything.”
I should note that when I say Luongo is correct I mean correct about Biden but I DO NOT agree with him about Trump.
Agree with you on his take on Trump.
Trump had a steep learning curve and trusted too much initially in establishment Republicans, that actually were trying to destroy his Presidency. As well as being actively being sabotaged by any means possible by the Democrats in Congress on filling key positions.
Good news is Trump unmasked the uniparty GOP members, and is continuing to do so.
Look at all the former gop thought leaders and organization's, who have lost credibility with the gop voters through their anti Trump activities George Will, NRO, Chris Christy, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, the gop Congress people that voted to impeach Trump, etc.
I expect a lot of primary gop challengers that are going to succeed, to the horror of the gop establishment.
Luongo, if I remember correctly, is more of an extreme libertarian.
