The Morning Report - 2/18/22

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and sometimes you see something brilliant and you just have to give recognition. Among comedians, writers and other cultural critics, Henny Youngman's now iconic one-liner "Take my wife. Please!" is considered the greatest joke of all time. Some even consider it as a brilliant example of the perfect short story or even novel, all told in a mere four words. So with that preamble, I give you a gem from Fox Business' Dagen McDowell. During a broadcast of "The Five," Juan Epstein impersonator/plagiarist Geraldo Rivera declared the Canadian trucker Freedom Convoy an "act of war." McDowell immediately fired back "To call closing some lanes on a bridge an act of war is the height of idiocy."

And there it is, ladies and gentlemen. Whether McDowell realizes it or not, she just authored the complete, unabridged biography of Geraldo Rivera's entire 50-plus-year career in broadcasting in just four words:

"The height of idiocy."

Envious as hell at Dagen. I've been writing professionally for nearly 40 years and if I had two full lifetimes to try, I could never come up with something so perfectly Henny Youngman-esque as that gem.

It is idiocy, as well as raw naked hypocrisy since it is now axiomatic that anything the left rails against or accuses its enemies of doing, plotting or being is exactly what they themselves are doing, plotting or being. By orders of magnitude. And once again, they force us to slide down that slippery slope of Godwin's Law with the invocation of a certain Viennese housepainter.

Everyone Leftists don't like is a Nazi, and it has become a hallmark of lazy political discourse to accuse someone of being just like Hitler. But that doesn't mean that no one in the modern world has any ideological or practical resemblance to the Führer. When he invoked Canada's Emergencies Act on Feb. 14, Justin Trudeau invited comparisons to March 23, 1933, when Hitler administered the coup de grace to democracy in Germany with the Enabling Act, which gave him dictatorial powers. There are similarities (and differences), and they're enlightening. . .
. . . In his address, Trudeau made an important promise: "the scope of these measures will be time-limited, geographically targeted, as well as reasonable and proportionate to the threats they are meant to address."
Adolf Hitler said many similar things in arguing that he needed dictatorial powers. On Feb. 27, 1933, just four weeks after Hitler became Chancellor, the Reichstag, the German parliament building in Berlin, caught fire. The culprit was a Dutch Communist, Marinus van der Lubbe, who apparently had acted alone, although many charged that the whole thing was a Nazi false flag to enable them to institute a dictatorship. Hitler, however, insisted that the Communist Party, which was a considerable force within the Reichstag, had set the fire, and pressed German President Paul von Hindenburg to approve of an emergency law suspending civil liberties. Communist leaders, including the Communist members of the Reichstag, were hunted down and arrested. . .
. . . The Enabling Act allowed Hitler to enact laws without Reichstag approval and with the same dispatch that Trudeau once admired about Communist China: "Laws enacted by the Reich government shall be issued by the Chancellor and announced in the Reich Gazette. They shall take effect on the day following the announcement, unless they prescribe a different date."
Like Canada's Emergencies Act, all this was supposed to be only temporary; the Enabling Act was set to expire on April 1, 1937. Once Hitler had consolidated his power and destroyed all the opposition parties, however, there was no question that the Enabling Act would continue: it was renewed by Hitler's rubber-stamp National Socialist Reichstag in 1937 and 1939, and by decree in 1941 and 1943, the latter time without a time limit. . .
. . . It would be facile and unfair to say that Hitler's Enabling Act and Trudeau's Emergencies Act are one and the same. Despite the soundness of Bill Maher’s observation, Trudeau is not Hitler and is not likely to become a bloodthirsty despot. However, the Enabling Act shows the pitfalls of what Trudeau has now done in Canada, and how easily an Act that allows a government to bypass ordinary procedures designed to protect the rights of citizens can be abused.
Both Freeland and Hitler promised ruthless action against those whom they cast as enemies of the people. No one expects Canada to act as ruthlessly as National Socialist Germany did, but there is no doubt that Trudeau and Freeland have embarked upon an extremely dangerous road, and one that lends itself, as the history of Nazi Germany proves conclusively, to all manner of human rights abuses. Once one's political opponents have been blamed for all the ills the nation is suffering, and one is freed from the need to obtain court orders or respect due process, what remains to restrain the unscrupulous?
The Enabling Act and the Emergencies Act both streamline their governments by freeing them from having to deal with such legal niceties. But whether or not Justin Trudeau ever really abuses such powers, someone could, and there would be nothing in place to restrain him. This is how republics die.

Yet again, the estimable Robert Spencer nails it. Look what they're doing in Canada, which is what they're doing here for reasons beyond even our sickness from the General Tso's Sickness government sanctioned fear propaganda campaign. Private citizens are demonized as Nazis, terrorists and insurrectionists. They're arrested and detained on trumped up charges and held indefinitely (J-6). They're subject to kangaroo courts (everyone from Trump to Derek Chauvin). And now their livelihoods and even lives are threatened by social media mobs, employers, even family members, government terror brigades (BLM, Antifa) and the government itself with seizures of assets and frozen bank accounts (GoFundMe, etc.).

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, odds are it is a duck. A duck that is goose-stepping. But all that said, perhaps we are at an inflection point. The Freedom Convoy and indeed parents speaking out at school board meetings for example, is something that cannot be shut down or contained. Not legally anyway. The only way to do that is if the powers that be move to naked aggression. I mentioned the school boards and the direct orders from the Biden junta itself to silence these citizens by tarring them as "terrorists." Some people have poo-poo'd the recall of the three Maoists on that San Francisco board but it is a sign. No, it's not just the cynical response that libs are afraid of the spotlight of open Marxism. I think there is a vast SILENCED majority that did not sign up for this insanity, be they liberal, conservative or what have you.

We are at an inflection point. Biden and his party are sundowning at the polls, even amongst that one dude who cast the bulk of those 80 million votes. Our own alleged politicians in the GOP are either silent or in cahoots with the overthrow and so we now have no option but open resistance. For now, and let us hope and pray it stays this way, it's non-violent. I think if God forbid violence does erupt, a) it will most likely be a false-flag operation and b) it will be the pretext for a total Castreau-cescu crackdown up there and down here, and everywhere in the once so-called free world.

This is the big one, folks. Have a good weekend.

14 Verse for the day:

"For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every foul practice. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without inconstancy or insincerity. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who cultivate peace."
--James 3:16-18

39 Willowed:

aw a tweet a few days ago from a middle-aged woman journalist wondering why many young guys on the right are so convinced people will make them eat bugs. Has she been asleep?

It's not just here among the Deplorable Trumpists.
Last night, I saw a French dystopian movie on Netflix titled "Big Bug".

It's a comedy by the same director as "Delicatessen" and "Amelie" set in the near future where Our Betters have won their Utopia and gotten everything they've wanted. Basically, it a clean dystopia of "nice", stupid people, and the main thing they eat is...

dried crickets. All the time.
So, the threat of "no meat-plenty o' bugs is recognized globally I think.

"Big Bug" itself is a big mess. The writer/director can't corral all of his ideas into a coherent movie, so it's falls into the fascinating failure category with some amusing moments. Still worth a watch though. Other people are paying attention worldwide. You are not alone.

55 The Enabling Act and the Emergencies Act both streamline their governments by freeing them from having to deal with such legal niceties. But whether or not Justin Trudeau ever really abuses such powers, someone could, and there would be nothing in place to restrain him. This is how republics die.
++++
How has Trudeau *not* "really abused such powers?" He hasn't purged the conservatives or the Bloc Quebec out of Parliament and declared opposition parties illegal, but he hasn't been non-abusive. Freezing bank accounts, seizing assets, sabotaging equipment, threatening protesters' children, taking political prisoners - are these things not "abuses?" If not, why not?

Any enabling act has but one purpose: abuse. The acts are always passed because, in this one little case, the elected officials rationalize that the ends justify the means in the heat of the moment. They don't. They never do. The only purpose of an enabling act that suspends checks and balances is abuse.

67 We are at an inflection point. Biden and his party are sundowning at the polls, even amongst that one dude who cast the bulk of those 80 million votes. Our own alleged politicians in the GOP are either silent or in cahoots with the overthrow and so we now have no option but open resistance. For now, and let us hope and pray it stays this way, it's non-violent. I think if God forbid violence does erupt, a) it will most likely be a false-flag operation and b) it will be the pretext for a total Castreau-cescu crackdown up there and down here, and everywhere in the once so-called free world.
++++
There's already been a crackdown across the western world, and it happened with COVID. In some countries like Australia, it was complete. In others like this country, it was incomplete. But the groundwork was all laid. The problem the governments are now facing is that people are sick of it. It isn't public health, it's totalitarianism. It's creeping in everywhere and in all respects. Now there's a problem, because to continue the crackdown requires greater aggression and violence because cooperation is now much harder to come by.

126 One thing that is really important to understand about these emergencies acts is that they are largely unnecessary. Has there ever been an emergency where the executive could not assist? The FEMA screw up in New Orleans was a result of them not being prepared, not anyone refusing to help the governor and president with the situation. Is there any conceivable emergency where if real immediate action was obviously needed (invasion), anyone would say "yeah, sorry, can't help ya cause you don't have authority"? Of course not. These laws exist precisely to fit the gap where the government wants to do something but there is no real emergency to justify it.

152 Any enabling act has but one purpose: abuse. The acts are always passed because, in this one little case, the elected officials rationalize that the ends justify the means in the heat of the moment. They don't. They never do. The only purpose of an enabling act that suspends checks and balances is abuse.

Which logically calls into question why Checks and Balances even exist. The Calvinist worldview gave it to us through the idea that all of human life is Fallen, depraved and sinful. The idea of C&B was to isolate the worst impulses of men, or at least make it a deliberative process. With Enabling Acts, it is a two pronged attack. Not only does it categorically reject the wisdom of C&B, but it also makes the absurd claim that hasty decisions that implicitly violate human rights are naturally Good Decisions.

Enabling Acts are a rejection of Western Civilization and reason, and should be considered a defacto coup d'etat. (sorry for the mix in languages)

She should have had her roots touched up before she went out that day. You can see a lot of her gray hair mixed in with her natural mousy brown color. But at least the camera shot was from far enough away that you can't see all the wrinkles and lines on her grizzled old face. Usually her ass-kissing media allies use soft filters to make her appear less haggard in the photos.

They don't care. Not one tiny bit.

As a reformed Blue Bird of F'ing Joy, I do want to give the junta credit for this one deed that isn't purely evil - a deed that sets it apart from all others.

In the passed Infrastructure Bill, the junta carved out six billion dollars to subsidize nuclear power plants since the regulatory burden and the heavy subsidies of non-thermal energy generation have made it uncompetitive.

The down side, of course, is that tax payers are hiding the high cost of "renewables" and making gas and coal less competitive due to nuclear power joining the Winners column in the Winners vs Losers Central Planning Sweepstakes.

236 Something to think about for the upcoming midterms...

It doesn't matter what Durham comes up with unless the republican party makes it a priority to change how the judicial system works. On federal matters that have a partisan aspect, we must have a method of changing the venue where the case is heard. If everything is going to be tried in Washington D.C., there will never be any justice. I suggest that a random, rotating pick of the 19 "bellweather" counties be the way forward. Every time a case comes up that could have a partisan bent, one of those purple counties is chosen to host the proceedings.

258 >>Jim Jordon on TV claims the CLintons tried to FRAME PDT.

>>Durham does not use that word be its seems very accurate.

IrishEi sent me a link to an online discussion that took place last night between a group of twitter based sleuths who have been way out in front of the Russia collusion hoax pretty much since day 1 and a lawyer and former federal prosecutor named Leslie McAdoo Gordon.

She's pretty high profile in DC and was on the Flynn team among other significant defense cases against the feds. She took questions and explained the nuances of the law as it applies to what Durham is doing and what charges might or might not be applied.

It was pretty dense and detailed but the bottom line is there is a big difference between what us lay people think is criminal behavior and what the law says is criminal behavior. And the words prosecutors chose are not random but very specific as it applies to the law because their audience is really one person, the judge.

Workers shaken after violent attack at Morice River drill site

During the early morning hours of Feb. 17, 2022, approximately 20 masked and violent attackers wearing camouflage surrounded and attacked Coastal GasLink workers in a highly planned and dangerous unprovoked assault. . .

The attackers used grinders to cut locks on a permitted gate to the active construction site and continued to vandalize and attack heavy equipment and construction trailers on-site, causing millions of dollars in damage to Coastal GasLink contractor equipment and property. Equipment hydraulic and fuel lines were also cut, causing dangerous leaks. Damage and environmental impacts are still being assessed. We are working to contain and clean up the environmental damage caused by the attackers. We also understand the attackers felled trees, placed tire spikes and lit fires on roads in an effort to impede access to the remote worksite.

Gee, I hope these attackers aren't part of one of the demographics exempted from Trudeau's Emergency Act.

I wonder how that cattle call was presented. Did they particularly solicit volunteers who were interested in beating and intimidating their fellow citizens? Or did they just ask HR to pull out the folders of agents who had a compatible psychological profile for this sort of jack booted thuggery. Or did they just run a database query on those officers ranking them according to number of citizen complaints of abuse and malfeasance?

It's creeping in everywhere and in all respects. Now there's a problem, because to continue the crackdown requires greater aggression and violence because cooperation is now much harder to come by.

And the words prosecutors chose are not random but very specific as it applies to the law because their audience is really one person, the judge.

What Durham is doing is important, he is building the legal and moral case for what we must do when the junta falls. But expect nothing before then; as JackStraw says, they are building the case for one person, the Judge - but in DC, *every* Judge is corrupt and will decide in favor of the establishment, no matter how good the case laid before him is.

I said this repeatedly throughout the Flynn persecution, I was proven right time and again. The legal framework in DC is every bit as corrupt as in Mao's China or Stalin's Moscow.

339 They slightly miscalculated. And have exposed themselves. It's all downhill from here, not that it isn't going to be damn bumpy. But once we are done with this, those on the left must pay both a political and personal price. We will need to be ruthless, and thorough.

My only quibble with this is that "those on the left" aren't the only ones responsible - either that, or I simply am not playing with the same definition of left as you are. And that's entirely possible - we may simply see left differently.

As I see it, we are here as the result of a thousand mistakes made by the leaders of both parties, resulting in a vast over-reach of government over decades. Sometimes justified because of the cold war. Sometimes because of social issues. Sometimes because of terrorism. And now, because of a damn escaped bio-weapons experiment.

In all these cases, some of the power-grabbers did it for nothing more than grabbing power for the sake of having power. In others, it really was done by true believers. I don't know which group was worse.

Yup. I think of all the MSM reports now quietly admitting things like masks don;t work, and vitamin D can help prevent covid -- after two solid years of people being deplatformed, losing their jobs, etc.. for saying as much.

And these people have not had their accounts restored, jobs given back, reputations restored based on the new, improved and currently politically useful admissions. The businesses destroyed, jobs lost, lives lost with the perpetuation of this insistence on masks, suppressing non-vaccine solutions cannot be un-done.

As Harry Reid would say after finally admitting to a lie years before, "Well, it worked, didn't it?"

Yes, yes it did. Dissenters destroyed, lives and businesses lost, now pivot to weak admissions and demand we all Move On(tm) for the health of our country!

I remember him telling me it took him 2-3 years to finally get rid of a terrible and illiterate teacher (who was only hired to check-off some quota box, being a woman from Greece or something, and whom he had inherited upon taking the position), because the teacher's union fought him every step of the way.

375 I remember him telling me it took him 2-3 years to finally get rid of a terrible and illiterate teacher (who was only hired to check-off some quota box, being a woman from Greece or something, and whom he had inherited upon taking the position), because the teacher's union fought him every step of the way.

Kicker? She just ended up being hired by another school in town ...

Now that BLM is openly (in their IRS filings) a Clinton Inc operation I don't think a Kalorama DOJ is going to do them any favors.

Which is an interesting political move now that BLM is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Clinton Global Initiative, Inc.

381 "Can we just ban weirdo troll Kurt at post 198? He adds nothing helpful here and is personally insulting."

This is what you can do. If you suspect that there is a troll wandering around these hollowed halls, highlight the hash and hit ctrl+f.

You can scroll up or down and find every instance that hash has posted. You might find someone is socking the troll for poops and giggles.

Another option would just to ignore the troll.

YMMV

383 That ship has sailed, CBD. I don't hold the door for women under 40 anymore. Older women and men of all ages usually say, "thank you." Women about my age or younger do so only very, very rarely.

My experience has been that older women appreciate it and thank me, while younger women seem surprised and shocked -- but still thank me. Of course, I'm nearly a decade now in a rural area where virtually everybody is decent and shares traditional American/Judeo-Christian values.

Now, back in my liberal arts college days (around 1980), I made the mistake on a first date of pulling out the chair for my date (unbeknownst to me a radical femi-nazi) -- and if looks could kill ... needless to say, that didn't end well.

395 My only complaint with that article is the use of "taken over". The entire George Floyd / BLM "movement" was a Clinton machine dirty trick from the start.
______________

The whole "blacks are being unfairly discriminated against and hunted by police and evil white supremacists and we have to stop all this systemic racism" bullshit was a creation of the globalist, one-world-order crowd (of which the Clintons are prime members).

It was all a huge lie and deliberate gaslighting effort, and the left side of the Bell curve in this country bought it hook, line, and sinker.

Trayvon Martin was an innocent little black boy skipping home from the candy store when he was shot in the back by a white supremacist who didn't like seeing blacks in hoodies in his all-white neighborhood! Mike Brown was a gentle giant and aspiring rapper who was on his knees with his hands up in surrender when executed by a racist white cop! George Floyd was a saintly angel who begged for mercy as a vicious white cop used his knee to crush his airway!

All filthy, evil lies spread deliberately to stoke rage and cause divisions that could be exploited by the power-hungry globalists.

And it worked.

396 "Never time to panic" nor is it ever time to doubt this most exceptional country.

It's ALWAYS time to continue to fight for our country, that being a substantial part of our heritage.

Protecting the nation is a continuance of the struggle those prior engaged in, to ensure we remain a free nation.

If you look at our history you'll find we have met and prevailed over issues even more serious than the present. We have an unbroken history of success in these efforts. Seems we have the knack of having the right person or making the correct decisions for a particular situation.

So never despair nor doubt that in the end we'll emerge victorious.

403 Among the worse signs-of-the-times I see is the ongoing Cluster Fascism that is the NY State/Attorney General "investigation" (persecution) of President Trump, his businesses and family being conducted by Letitia James.

I have neither seen nor heard of a more naked abuse of prosecutorial power in the US to persecute a private citizen that what Attorney General James is doing right now. And the sickening layer beneath this is that the organized bar associations in New York are either silent, or approving of a completely corrupt, lawless and abusive misuse of government power to harass and punish political enemies.

I can only think that anyone but a billionaire would be crushed by the legal expenses alone --aside from the massive distraction and stress. Just yesterday some idiot Judge ruled that DJT had to testify in this shame of a mockery of a sham "investigation" along with members of his family.

Our governments are in many instances now rogue operators, looking for every opportunity to persecute political opposition, and our watchdog institutions (press, law) mostly corrupt or complicit. This is, to borrow a current phrase, "not sustainable."

They would find out one day when they tried to sell of borrow money on their homes, cars, etc that they couldn't. It took months typically to unravel.
