The Morning Report — 4/ 22 /25

Good morning kids. Just like yesterday, I'm going to have to choose my words very carefully lest I make a whole lot of heads explode, including my own, as well as wave a giant red cape in front of the usual swarm of trolls, stormfronters and other assorted anti-Semites, freaks and geeks that make their regular appearance here and every other thread throughout the day.

With all the lawless insanity fomented by the Democrat/Left set to tear what's left of this country apart at any moment, of all things why in God's name does Ron Johnson think that this is the moment for him to publicly transition into the Rosie O'Donnell of Michael Moores, as what we need to preserve the union.

One would have been hard-pressed to imagine, just a few years ago, a sitting United States senator suggesting that the Building 7 collapse may have been a "controlled demolition."
. . . To be clear, I don’t claim to know for sure what happened that day. If, after a legitimate and transparent inquiry — which has never happened — the results show that the collapse was triggered by debris or whatever the case may be, then so be it.
Why would anyone oppose investigating the deadliest attack on American civilians in history?
If the evidence debunks all of the conspiracy theories, then all the better for building a real consensus based on fact.

I don't want to waste pixels and time on this but it does hit close to home, as I lost an old classmate who was near the top of the South Tower and I would have been in the Plaza that morning had I not left town a few days earlier. And of course as a native New Yorker and American I along with all of you and much of the world recoiled in horror as the attack unfolded and was almost all that was on TV for weeks and months on end afterwards. As much as the demise of my beloved parents those days are forever etched in my memory as the worst of my life.

Fast forward to today, where with all we have been through via the mainstreaming of the concept and indeed fact of the Deep State primarily due to the coronavirus and various plots to sabotage and/or overthrow Donald Trump's first and current term as President let alone the blatant theft of the 2020 election, which was and still is a hell of a lot more easy to prove than what Senator Johnson suggests.

And here's where my head explodes: given all of the aforementioned what was and is our government capable of doing, and why? Cui bono? We do have many of the same players and now their acolytes and associates still embedded in every department of every agency of every bureaucracy in DC, including and most especially our military and intelligence services along with the Judiciary of course.

But again, why this and why now Ron Johnson? As friend and friend of the blog Michael Walsh illustrates in his column, the controlled demolition is of the nation and the rule of a just and stable law itself that needs to be addressed. And perhaps coincidentally, he touches upon the events of 9/11 and what they have wrought nearly 24 years on, without the trutherism, yet with unflinching truths that would be better served getting at the heart of than where Ron Johnson wants to go.

When a group of German saboteurs were caught in New York and Florida in June 1942, planning to blow up hydroelectric plants and other loci of American industrial power but ratted out by two of their fellows in Operation Pastorius, President Franklin D. Roosevelt knew exactly what he was not going to do. "I want one thing clearly understood, Francis," he told his Attorney General, Francis Biddle. "I won't hand them over to any United States marshal armed with a writ of habeas corpus. Understand?" Biddle understood: this was war. There would be no civilian "due process." They would get what was coming to them. . . What a difference fourscore and three years make. Although the Islamic ummah declared war on the United States of America in 1998, and although President Trump has designated Mexican and South American narco gangs such as Tren de Aragua as terrorists under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, an appalling number of American lawyers -- including some ostensibly on the right -- appear not to have gotten the message, and have dragged him into federal court over and over again over the phantom issue of alien "rights."
. . . It's easy to know where to place the blame: on George W. Bush, the man who appointed Roberts, who fumbled the Battle of 9/11 so badly that the country is still paying the price for his lack of resolve, who gave us Homeland Security, the Director of National Intelligence, and the TSA. One might also go back to the first Bush presidency, that of George H.W. Bush, who bungled the end of the Cold War in 1989-1991 and thus created the conditions for the international shambles we are living through today. . .
. . . We can date the decline of the United States as an international power to the first Bush presidency, and that decline’s emphatic punctuation with the presidency of his son, George W. Bush. “Poppy,” as the elder was called, essentially ceded control of the events that followed the end of the Soviet Union and the liberation of Eastern Europe—the cornerstone of American foreign policy for nearly half a century—to other players: to Boris Yeltsin in Russia, Helmut Kohl in Germany, Vaclav Havel in Czechoslovakia, and, critically, to the Hungarian-born George (Schwartz) Soros, who invested a great deal of money in the rebuilding of the East Bloc and was widely hailed at the time as a moneyed capitalist savior from the wreckage of communism.
And then 9/11 happened: . . Now we're fighting saboteurs and infiltrators from our own hemisphere, here on our home turf, "Maryland men." After Pearl Harbor, FDR went before Congress to declare, "No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
. . . Now, instead of the chair, our enemies get the best lawyers your money can buy, and laugh in your face.

Not to trivialize the memory of the victims of 9/11, but what happened on that day is a drop in the ocean compared to the toll of human suffering and wastage of human potential left in the wake of every Democrat/Leftist in every office they ever held or continue to hold and every RINO/globalist flunky who goes along with them in order for them to wet their beak via aiding and abetting in the dismantling of the Republic.

Here is but one truly frightening example, among many others affecting other states including supposedly Red ones from the transgender insanity, taxation, freedom of speech and religion, the second amendment, open borders, to the climate change hoax, the march of Islam, that taken all together are the cutting edge of depriving us of our lives, liberties and pursuit of our individual happiness by forging the chains of a terrible new slavery.

In an alarming move that should concern every freedom-loving American, Illinois lawmakers are advancing House Bill 2827, known as the “Homeschool Act.” It’s an ill-conceived piece of legislation that should be renamed “The Illinois Family Exit Act” because, no doubt, many families will be looking for an exit if this monstrosity is signed into law. . .
. . . This legislation directly threatens the rights of parents to educate their children, particularly those who choose homeschooling for religious or moral reasons. When the bill was introduced, it garnered a massive negative response among Illinois citizens. Homeschool families valuing their educational freedom signed witness slips in opposition to the tune of over 50,000 in 24 hours.

But let's dip our toes into 9/11 trutherism. Precisely at the moment when President Trump has the Democrat/Leftists and globalists on the ropes, and as said Dems are loudly and proudly defending Hamas terrorists and illegal alien violent criminal gangster terrorists along with forcing males into women's bathrooms and women's prison cells, as well as forming a circular firing squad for not being insane enough to please the true believers or not pretending to be moderate effectively enough to fool the rubes.

Ugh.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Michael Walsh: . . .Now we're fighting saboteurs and infiltrators from our own hemisphere, here on our home turf, "Maryland men." After Pearl Harbor, FDR went before Congress to declare, "No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us. With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounding determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God." Now, instead of the chair, our enemies get the best lawyers your money can buy, and laugh in your face.

April 19, 2025, marked the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, a fiery dawn of courage that shattered the myth of British invincibility and lit the fuse of American independence. As many, worldwide, likely know, the overall event was a defiant stand against the Crown’s audacious gun control schemes, but that stand, itself, was a clash of principles rooted in the eternal struggle for self-ownership and liberty, and between large-scale officialdom versus local political communities and a closer approximation to voluntary interaction. The seeds of the fight can be found in the very movement of Pilgrims to the New World in 1620, as the Puritans -- who had fled the religious persecution of England, then lived in relatively free Holland for a decade -- got sponsors to finance their relocation to America. That, unto itself, is a lesson for collectivists, a timeless lesson about the importance of free markets and the power of those markets to create profit and reinvest that into new ventures.

16 Ah yes the good old false dichotomy.

This is a common tactic used by individuals when they oppose something, but don't want to say so for fear of backlash.

I can remember when a cultural conservative representative in my state proposed a "Don't Say Gay bill" to deal with the LGBTq madness on the horizon in the school system.

The individual was met with a chorus of "why are we wasting time on this when we more serious things to legislate" from those on the Chamber of Commerce right.

The premise was that one can't discuss more contentious topics because it will risk using up all the precious limited time because legislators are working so feverishly around the clock to handle the "important issues". But it really was nothing more than electoral cowardice on the part of milquetoast cucks on the right at best, if not a quiet acquiescence to teaching little kids perversion at worst.

It's disingenuous and meant to dissuade discussion. One can both rashly pass a $5 trillion dollar debt ceiling increase and investigate the curious case of Building 7. The two issues are not mutually exclusive.

My problem with it is that it’s a back door way to claim the whole 9-11 event was a setup; but they can’t make that case against the attacks on the twin towers. So they go this route.

22 But let's dip our toes into 9/11 trutherism. Precisely at the moment when President Trump has the Democrat/Leftists and globalists on the ropes, and as said Dems are loudly and proudly defending Hamas terrorists and illegal alien violent criminal gangster terrorists along with forcing males into women's bathrooms and women's prison cells, as well as forming a circular firing squad for not being insane enough to please the true believers or not pretending to be moderate effectively enough to fool the rubes.

When you wrap your head around the fact that the vast majority of the GOP are simply willing to wait Trump out and - most importantly - fear no backlash for doing so, then Johnson's bloviating makes perfect sense.

Trump's greatest weakness is that he believes in the rule of law. Unless and until he decides, "well, shit, if they're going to call me a dictator, then by God, I'll be one," we'll end up in 2028 with a Democrat POTUS, House and Senate, which will suit the GOP down to the ground.

Which is becoming my favorite part.

We've now watched Waco, Ruby Ridge, whatever that (Texas?) shooter was that the agent drove to the event to make sure it happened, the Amazing Disappearing Matthew Crooks, etc., and ESPECIALLY the fraudulent election and COVID, but 9/11? No, the same people, organizations, and deep state were Bread and Butter at that moment.

But I say it's far too moderate. The State should be the only arbiter of family life, up to and including the determination of a child's gender, and using the surgeon's knife to enforce it against the will of nature, and the policeman's gun to enforce it against the will of parents.

If Illinois wants to keep in the race to be America's most criminally insane political unit, they better step up their game. Everybody better. Y'all can't step up to my game with that weak shit.

Indeed. This moment is his greatest challenge, as it goes against his nature and perhaps his illusions. There will be no "healing," no "unity," no return to a any state of grace within the political order. This is a war, a zero-sum fight for survival against political savages. But he needn't take on the lineaments of a dictator. He is legally in the right. He simply needs to remind his establishment usurpers of how power works according to the Constitution and the will of a true leader. This requires, in my opinion, a national address.

But we don't know that they are fine - it will take decades to know either way...and we know they deliver no positive nutritional benefit...so outlawing them is just fine by me.

The food industry made its big money addicting people to mostly unhealthy things through taste, color, texture, etc...let's start unraveling their disastrous methods of the last 30 years, ever since they found the loophole that they could self-certify that all their "fake" adds to foods (intended to increase this desired response) were fine.

I have always attributed this to the additives and such that we use vs the fresh ingredients that europe uses, in general. I'm wondering how much this dye impacts that.

and while i know organic is a scam, i wonder how much of the processed food is actively hurting us, vs the perceived benefits of natural.

At some level in the hierarchy, they just don’t see us as fellow human beings. It’s a really Soviet attitude to the lumpen proletariat. As far as a reason for the third tower to fall it supposedly destroyed a bunch of financial records that helped stave off a financial collapse. Could the Deep state have known the Saudi flown airliners were coming and planned to take out the third tower at the same time? I just don’t know!

I never really considered it until our own feds insisted that the fuel in the basement and the impact from the other crashes had nothing to do with the collapse, and it was all because burning office chairs and melting Bic pins caused all the columns to simultaneously buckle.

That is literally the US Government's official position. Anything else is a conspiracy theory:

45 I have never doubted that the impact of the two airliner caused the collapse oh the twin towers.”

The evidence for this conclusion is unassailable, and I’ve been struggling to articulate why this makes the building 7 claims moot. It’s an allegation of a crime without a motive. The important event is the attack on, and collapse of, the twin towers. Building 7 added nothing to that, most people even now aren’t even aware of it. Building 7 changed nothing for anyone except those on the scene; so what would be the motive for anyone taking such a huge risk as is alleged here? What would have been the point?

And even worse, since all such materials would have had to been in place ahead of time, the theory implies that the entire attack was planned and orchestrated by the US government - but no one dares to make that case for the twin towers, because it just doesn’t stand up. I do believe the US should have known about the plot, but that’s a matter of incompetence and not taking our enemies seriously, not intent.

90 No one gave much thought about Building 7 going down at the time because everyone was in shock from seeing the other two towers collapse. In retrospect...

What people can't grasp is that two 110-story buildings had just pancaked near it. I'm thinking that might have effected Building 7's structural integrity, but is does look pretty sketchy.

Same could be said for the twin towers themselves, btw. People say buildings have never collapsed after being hit by a plane before. OK, how many buildings have been hit by 747's before?

99 Good morning

Goes without saying but I'll say it anyway : anyone who believes that 9/11 isn't exactly what we saw must be shunned from society.

It's been debunked a million times. This is a government that cannot keep secrets. Beside that, it's stupid in the extreme to insist that people just wouldn't notice all of the explosives and cords and shit just lying around. Demolishing a building is a complicated and very visible affair.

But I don't have to tell you any of this.

But at night I'm a junk food junkie

The flight 93 flight path across Pennsylvania was aimed at DC, not New York, just like the flight that hit the Pentagon. That’s pretty good evidence of intent.

Also as to tall buildings pancaking - see video of a recent collapse in Myanmar due to an earthquake. Came down the same way. We don’t see tall buildings fall very often, so how it happens surprises us.

109 By all means, we are just wasting valuable time and undermining current efforts by trying to get to the bottom of 9-11. There are just way too many anomalies raising way too many questions to spend out time getting answers.

Same with JFK, RFK and the USS Liberty, these are events which are better left alone so we don't create circumstances potentially hugely damaging to current goals.

Very wise to solemnly warn people against spending any time on these things. That time is very, very valuable. We are frankly incapable of exploring these subjects head on, paying attention to all those bothersome facts and logical quandaries.

And possible answers might cause raise further complications meaning distracting from far more current and important issues which should be occupying our time.

By all means, no one should spend a second of their time looking into the circumstances of building 7. It is a waste of time and worse, think how you will be regarded by all sane and rational people if you do so.

As for why? Well we've found out that a large number of "conspiracy theories" turned out to be true.

I'm trying to imagine the FBI under Kash not questioning these guys and the state department, under Rubio, not removing their visas ASAP.

One argument which can be made against the left is their willingness to fight to keep people in the country who would be more than happy to create another 9/11.

Of course, it's already obvious the left hates the American people because they're already fighting to keep murderers, human traffickers and rapists in the US.

It was an open secret for years, one of the biggest security concerns prior to 9/11/2001 was indeed hijacked airliners being flown into the White House, Capitol, etc. Why would she feign ignorance?

Most of the hijackers were illegal aliens, by the way. Expired visas. No problemo.

Then the government continued to treat state level acts of war as crimes deserving attorneys, jury trials, due process, etc.

You won’t hear about “unlawful enemy combatants” too much, which is how those Germans were treated during WWII - they weren’t in uniform. Speaking of uniforms, why is Major Hasan still sucking up valuable O2 some 10 or 15 years after the Ft. Hood massacre?

187 F. Paul Wilson explored the WTC7 collapse in his Repairman Jack novel Ground Zero, published in 2010.

In this novel a conspiracy was definitely involved, but it was of the ancient Lovecraftian type rather than the ordinary government type.

The Twin Towers were brought down as a distraction from the REAL target, which was a hidden artifact buried under WTC7 for centuries. The conspirators, disguised as rubble-removing construction workers, sift through the wreckage and haul out the artifact, transporting it to a "temple" to an eldritch abomination masquerading as a Scientology-style compound. Then things get weird.

It's a pretty wild story...

254 My take on WTC 7. The structural designers did not design for the debris impacts that are believed to have occurred and the fires. I say believed to have occurred because there is no certainty what hit and precisely where. That is an unknown, perhaps a key one. A damage progression simulation using a math model reconstruction of the building (accuracy?), as built and maintained (accuracy?), impacted by debris (accuracy?), with heating from fires added (accuracy?), is the best that can be done. Does that simulation accurately describe what occurred to the satisfaction of every structural engineer on Earth? No.

Bottom Line: Crazy unexplainable sh!t happens in the real world. Every day. Hell, maybe every minute.

260 NPR: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The damage Hegseth has done to our national security can't be undone. However, I guess it is good to send him packing before he can do more. What a bunch of amateurs. SMDH.

This usually means there is another story about to break which is even worse than what is already out there

Trump's cabinet choices were made to maximize damage. RFK jr? a fucking catastrophe for public health. he will kill children. hegseth?

I saw a cartoon it was Al Qaeda or ISIS and they were just laying back and watching the news because they don't even need to attack the US; we're being destroyed from within.

Are his wife & brother also employed by ruskies? "NPR has also confirmed with the same official that Hegseth shared details ahead of last month's Yemen strikes with his wife and brother in a Signal chat on his personal phone, minutes after being updated by a senior U.S. military official."

I don't believe the real problem is incompetence. I really think it is deliberate sabotage - on Putin's orders

261 Bin Laden and company succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Not what happened on 9/11. Everything that happened afterward. Big things have small beginnings, to borrow a phrase

I'm going to partially disagree here. Osama wanted to force the US out of the Muslim world and then collapse the Saudis to get a more Islamic faction in charge.

Obviously that didn't work - the guy running Saudi right now is more moderate then his predecessor (yeah this is grading on a scale).

The two major impacts of Osama's attack were strengthening Iran (Shiite heretics!) and weakening the US...but in the latter case it helped Globohomo come to power in the US/Europe which is in the long run worse for Islam then the traditional west.

I suggest that we keep looking forward becuz even if the unlikely scenario that there are traitorous a-holes in the gov't who blew up the WTC on 9/11-

299 Of all the things we have to blame the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020-21 for, perhaps the most unexpected is that some desperate people used them as a handy opportunity to begin having sex with trees. In 2020, a 45-year-old Canadian “somatic sex educator” named Sonja Semjonova was going out on her daily walk permitted to her by the Trudeau Taliban, when she came across (perhaps even literally) a giant oak tree by the side of a path in British Colombia. Perceiving “a connection” with the tree, Sonja began to “lie against it” loving the “feeling of being tiny and supported by something more solid” and “not being able to fall”.

Although not enjoying full penetrative intercourse with the oak, as in an infamous old scene from the original 1981 Evil Dead movie, Sonja nonetheless self-identified as something called an ‘Ecosexual’, an entire new branch of the queer identitarian movement which did actually precede lockdown. At the San Francisco Pride Parade in 2015, a bunch of literal tree-huggers performed a special ceremony to ‘officially’ modify the LGBTQI label to read LGBTQIE in the fetish’s honour.

Dems see a winning issue in case of man mistakenly deported to El Salvador
Democrats are lining up to defend Kilmar Abrego Garcia, despite immigration politics traditionally favoring Republicans.

“We have to be careful to not get sucked into an argument where Republicans can say we care more about undocumented immigrants than American citizens … so that’s why [Democrats] keep talking about due process,” said a Democratic strategist."

“They’re also betting that the invocation of due process and the sometimes-wonky legal fight will resonate with the broader American public. They argue it will allow them to place the debate around the case on their own terms after Republicans made immigration and the border a central part of their argument to voters in 2024, exploiting divides in the party on border enforcement."

317 April 19, 2025, marked the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, a fiery dawn of courage that shattered the myth of British invincibility and lit the fuse of American independence.

The early victory was Bunker Hill, where despite failing to hold the field, the colonists inflicted such casualties that British strategy was altered for the entire war.

I worked in both buildings when I was a television broadcast engineer. Empire is of steel beam construction and brick. WTC towers support structure was the exterior walls with a center core for elevators, stairwells, etc. This construction allowed for huge open floor space. Empire's rooms are very small in comparison. Also, a B-25 bomber is tiny compared with a fully fueled 767 flown at full velocity. The strength of the towers was in the exterior walls. It was just a matter of time before they would collapse from the impact. We all knew it.

365 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J.

Worked for the NY Region, for several years. The 1st agency trial I attended was held in a WTC building, and on a Good Friday. In 1993, the agency was preparing for a big press conference when, at almost the exact time, the 1st World Trade Center attack occurred. And so the conference was cancelled & response to the site promptly planned as it was 1st reported some involvement of electrical equipment. (See fbi dot gov/ history/famous cases - World Trade Center Bombing 1993.)

In part, "On February 26, 1993, at about 17 minutes past noon, a thunderous explosion rocked lower Manhattan.

The epicenter was the parking garage beneath the World Trade Center, where a massive eruption carved out a nearly 100-foot crater several stories deep and several more high.

Six people were killed almost instantly. Smoke and flames began filling the wound and streaming upward into the building. Those who weren’t trapped were soon pouring out of the building—many panic-stricken and covered in soot. More than a thousand people were hurt in some way, some badly, with crushed limbs.

Middle Eastern terrorism had arrived on American soil—with a bang."

366 And so I've always thought foundational & air shaft weaknesses of WTC buildings 1 & 2, well beyond my understanding, had to be exposed during the earliest event but not those re: the manner in which the buildings were skinned. (The "skin" or exterior of the World Trade Center buildings 1 and 2 (the Twin Towers) was a significant part of their supporting structure.)

Building 7 was not inside WTC Plaza. Though new, it was essentially rebuilt. Wikipedia, "The building was extensively renovated in 1989 to accommodate Salomon Brothers, and 7 World Trade Center alternatively became known as the Salomon Brothers building.[20]" After the 1993 bombing of the WTC, Mayor Rudy Giuliani decided to situate the emergency command center and associated fuel tanks at 7 World Trade Center.

See Wikipedia regarding the building's history and its 'smaller tenants' in particular at the time of 9/11. It's all rather spooky but seemingly doubtful more can be added to theories & facts surrounding it.

Problem is, the neocons were more of 'invade the world, invite the world.'

See, a neocon should have been 'lock the border tight' and 'deport all dangerous immigrants'. But t hey were not. Which goes to show they were not for what they said they were for.

Used to be politely skeptical of trutherism. Now, I'm starting to think they probably have a solid point, and maybe a whole case.

373 "For the building to have been prepared for intentional demolition, walls and/or column enclosures and fireproofing would have to be removed and replaced without being detected. Preparing a column includes steps such as cutting sections with torches, which produces noxious and odorous fumes. Intentional demolition usually requires applying explosive charges to most, if not all, interior columns, not just one or a limited set of columns in a building."

Yep. NOT "controlled demolition," but weakened by the fire in the emergency supply fuel tanks in the building. We were watching that sucker all day as it kept burning (I lived in the neighborhood at the time).
