The Morning Report - 1/19/22

warsawJoey.jpg

Good morning, kids. Wednesday and once again the subject of civil war or at the least some sort of national divorce/dissolution has reared its ugly but unavoidable head. The disgusting, vitriolic rhetoric and insults that are borderline blood-libels is not emanating from the pie-hole of some low-life Antifa droog, sprawled out on a louse infected, semen stained, vitrified mozzarella encrusted couch somewhere in CHAZ-topia, making Molotov cocktails for world peace. It is emanating from the pinnacle of American power, the Oval Office (no doubt via a house in Kalorama), and parroted by the aforementioned and far too many individuals that can do a hell of a lot more damage than merely (!) setting a police station or two on fire.

Recently the Washington Post ran an op-ed from three retired generals, Antonio Taguba, an immigrant who had accused America of war crimes during the fight against Islamic terrorists in Iraq, Steven Anderson, a board member of the left-wing VoteVets, and Paul Eaton, a senior VoteVets adviser, urging that the military prepare for a "2024 insurrection" in proper Soviet style.

The three left-wing ex-generals called for "intensive intelligence work" to "identify, isolate and remove potential mutineers" and "guard against efforts by propagandists."

A Commie commissar couldn't have said it any better than Taguba, Anderson, and Eaton.

These "propagandists" and "mutineers" are not the members of the pro-Hillary "Resistance" who pledged to undermine and sabotage the Trump administration in 2016. Nor are they the Democrats who insisted that President George W. Bush was illegitimately elected.

Only conservatives are up for the purge.

Or as Eaton had tweeted before the election, "The empty shirt in the White House deserves your contempt. Aiding and abetting is treason. What American could vote for such a person? I know: a traitor."

This Eaton scum is not an outlier in terms of the highest, and quite possibly even the secondary or tertiary, echelons of command in our military. Barack Obama, like Stalin in the late 30s and Hitler after Stalingrad and for sure after July '44, purged their militaries of the most competent officers and replaced them with ass-kissing sycophants and like-minded ideologues. Those two did it primarily because they were paranoid. The dog-eater did it as an act of willful sabotage that, in the cold light of day, is arguably the greatest act of treason against the national security of this nation since Julius and Ethel Rosenberg's atomic betrayal. Possibly worse.

Now cue Joey Soft-Serve, via the estimable Salena Zito:

Speaking Tuesday at Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University, Biden uttered venomous, brutal accusations lacking factual basis. His shouting-in-the-wind delivery was inexplicable, and his decision to lash out at members of his own party -- Senators Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) -- appears to have only strengthened their resolve not to give in to his demands.

Biden called those who disagree with his political views on legislation "domestic enemies." He compared them to Confederate President Jefferson Davis and former Alabama Democratic Party committeeman and ardent, violent segregationist Bull Connor. In American politics, that is about as divisive as one can get -- at least he didn't mention Hitler. . .

. . .You don't warn a nation that a winter of "severe illness and death" is coming for the unvaccinated because your aim is to bring people together; those words are intended as a threat and a slight, just like his resurrection of George Wallace in last week's speech to score cheap political points.

Look all around you; since last January this junta has been flailing, failing and is desperate. But the unvarnished truth is that all of that is not the reason that they have been spouting the eliminationist rhetoric against us. As an aside, mentioned yesterday by Ace, Paul "the forehead" Begala ripped into his own base by claiming "Democrats don't have bad leaders, they have bad followers." In any case, the hatred flowing from the Left has always been there. They have always wanted to subjugate or eradicate those of us whom they could not subjugate. See Larry Grathwohl discussing Bill Ayers.

But that was back in the early 70s. We're not talking about a group of violent subversives fantasizing about a "final solution" to the freedom problem while on the lam from the, heh, FBI (the irony). We're now talking about a sizeable chunk of our allegedly fellow citizens as well as the government, the bureaucracy, the courts, quite astonishingly the not-so-much-anymore private sector and, yet again, law enforcement and the military.

The US Army is set to conduct a "guerrilla warfare exercise" later this month in North Carolina where troops will battle against "freedom fighters."

Yes, really.

The two week "unconventional warfare exercise" will take from from Jan. 22-Feb. 4 on privately owned land in a remote location which remains unknown.

"Called Robin Sage, the exercise serves as a final test for Special Forces Qualification Course training and it places candidates in a politically unstable country known as Pineland," reports the Charlotte Observer.

"These military members act as realistic opposing forces and guerrilla freedom fighters, also known as Pineland resistance movement," said the the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center. . .

. . . The exercise will do little to dampen concerns that the Biden [junta] is launching a de facto 'domestic war on terror' targeting patriots and Trump supporters.

Following the January 6 Capitol riot, Democrats ludicrously compared the events to September 11 in an attempt to justify using federal resources that would normally be focused on actual terrorists against American conservatives.

Earlier this month, the Justice Department created a new "specialized unit focused on domestic terrorism" in response to an "elevated" threat from violent extremists in the United States.

So, Waukesha and Colleyville, along with the Burning, Looting & Murdering that took place over the course of months in the wake of George Floyd dying while resisting arrest are to be spun as mostly peaceful displays of patriotism, or failing that, altogether ignored. Yet, mere verbal opposition to anything and anyone of, by and for the Left is tantamount to insurrection and treason - even when these alleged acts of insurrection and treason are manufactured by the junta itself to further their agenda of political oppression. No doubt in my mind that what happened at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 was pre-planned and executed by the FBI in collusion with the DC police and possibly at the behest of or with the tacit approval beforehand of Democrat Party leadership. The detainees now rotting away in the Garland Archipelago were merely unlucky or foolish enough to walk into the set-up.

Where does all of this leave us?

Regime propaganda is so ubiquitous that even if, like me, you make no effort to seek it out and even take steps to avoid it, you can't help but notice that our masters have fastened onto a new narrative: the coming "civil war."

This was the crux of all the maudlin, dishonest January 6 retrospectives, of several "think pieces," and at least three new books: America is facing a second civil war and it will be started by the Right.

Really? With what? In one of his more lucid moments, Joe Biden himself noted that the disaffected on the Right have no chance of taking on the United States government without F-15s and nukes. Like the blind squirrel finding a nut, the old man was onto something. The government's overwhelming advantages in technology, firepower, manpower, money, transportation, supply networks, surveillance tools and much else would be so lopsided as to make the military buzzword "asymmetric" a grim joke. Think, instead, Bambi versus Godzilla. . .

. . . Psy-ops can have many objectives, demoralization being the most common. But they can also be used to prep the ground for other operations, to create opportunities that otherwise might not present themselves.

That's what's going on now. The regime wishes to crush all actual and potential opposition. To do this, it needs to criminalize dissent. But doing that runs against the letter and spirit of the great charters of American liberty, and against the grain of the American character. To do what they want to do requires changing public opinion. Or, more specifically, it requires wearing down Americans' inborn resistance to censorship and political persecution . . .

. . . The truth is that for the last 50 years, and accelerating greatly over the last 10, America's elites have relentlessly divided the country, strip-mined its institutions, leeched its wealth, and attacked a large portion of its people. Those actions, taken together, may be said to be almost a recipe for civil war. Perhaps the smarter elites have concluded that such a war is now inevitable and they want to get a jumpstart on assigning blame. A cynical person (not me!) might wonder if civil war is not exactly what the ruling class wants and is trying to provoke.

We might therefore analogize every fresh provocation to those feds who apparently entrapped some very imprudent men into trying to kidnap the governor of Michigan. They want you not just to talk about civil war, but to begin taking concrete actions that they can insist are preludes to war. Then they will have free rein to impose ever more censorship, surveillance, no-knock raids, computer and records seizures, asset confiscation, frivolous (but deadly serious) criminal charges, endless pretrial detention, and draconian sentences for misdemeanors and non-crimes.

Excellent essay as usual by Michael Anton, but it does beg the question, considering all the forces arrayed against us and the absolute undeniable fact that those forces absolutely stole the 2020 election, given that no doubt they will try that again - and that sadly the party that allegedly is the opposition to it is mostly in bed with them - what do we do?

We have effectively been overthrown and now it's a matter of the junta attempting to consolidate power and cement the overthrow. They already have scores if not hundreds of innocent Americans rotting away in the Garland Archipelago as "insurrectionists" and "white supremacists."

I am not advocating violence at all. But unless and until some massive movement akin to Solidarnosc organically happens, we are slouching our way into becoming East Germany. The vast majority of real Americans have more important things to do - like work and care for their families - than to take to the streets and do the BLM/Antifa boogaloo.

That said, with the economy fast becoming the bastard child of Weimar Germany and Zimbabwe, a mass economic upheaval that makes Black Tuesday and 2008 look like a blip might be the black swan event (although anyone with eyes to see can predict it coming) that sends people into the streets.

The reaction of the junta and its base that already want to send the unvaccinated into concentration camps (or worse) is what worries me. Is all of this avoidable? Possibly, but given everything we've been through and the current trajectory, less and less likely with each passing day.

Whatever happens, I could care less what their narrative is; if blood is shed, it is all on the Left. If there is neither a civil disengagement nor G-d forbid an actual shooting civil war, then it won't necessarily be because we have been rounded up by police or military forces. It will be because those who we thought were our fellow citizens will be the enforcers.

Almost half of Democratic voters -- 48 percent -- think the government should be able to fine or imprison individuals "who publicly question the efficacy of the existing [Chinese] COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications."

This is not the most astonishing finding of a poll just released by Rasmussen. Let's go through the relevant points: Nearly the same percentage of Democratic voters -- 47 percent -- think the government should be able to put a tracking system, like an ankle monitor or a locked collar, on people who refuse the vaccine. And 45 percent favor putting the unvaccinated in camps. Camps.

More than half of Democratic voters -- 55 percent -- think people who refuse the vaccine should be fined. Fifty-nine percent favor confining all unvaccinated people to their homes. More than a quarter of Democratic voters -- 29 percent -- think that the government should be able to confiscate the children of unvaccinated parents . . .

Is any of this Nazi enough for you yet? You are living next door to the people who would have turned you over to the Comite de salut public for opposing the "Law of Suspects" -- the law that authorized the arrest of all suspected enemies of the Revolution and ushered in the Reign of Terror. You are living next door to the people who would have turned you over to the NKVD for "moral sabotage of the Soviet Union." You are living next door to the people who would have called up the Gestapo and said, "My neighbor is hiding a Jew."

First it's vaccines. Then it's questioning the approved number of genders. Or the legitimacy of the 2020 election. And on and on.

Nightmare fuel, my fellow babies.

As is often the case. At a certain point military executives are interested not in what is right or proper, but what is politically correct and expedient. The higher you go, the more beholden you are to the system that put you there and the objectives of massive networks of machinery and intrigue.

Why do you think generals so rarely execute coups? It happens sometimes, but not too often. Successful military coups are usually at the hands of a colonel or a captain or a lieutenant - men with significant personal loyalty, access and ambition who are not yet just executives who entirely depend on the machinery.

And to soften up the population, which is the real purpose of constant propaganda. No dictatorial system has the manpower to enforce everything on everyone. The only way to make it work is to get the people to enforce it on each other, for free. The continuous propaganda serves to make that possible and, for those in agreement with the propaganda messaging, to make it right and proper to do.

Even more than criminalizing dissent, they need to make dissent socially unacceptable among right-thinking people. This makes punishment acceptable, and any punishment will be just fine - even if it involves mass graves. The constant gaslighting is in furtherance of the need for that kind of environment. The enemy needs to be convinced of his impotence and the ally needs to be convinced of his righteousness.

Everyone in government who is in a position to make policy, advise on policy, or be aware of changes in policy prior to their being officially promulgated should be required to use a blind trust.

No member of their immediate family should be permitted to do business with the government. Anyone who has a family member working for a major business interacting with, or controlled by, the government should be required to recuse themselves from votes affecting that business.

No policy-maker/advisor in a regulatory agency should be permitted to work for a company which had been regulated by that agency for at least five years. Nor should they be permitted to join a regulatory agency in a policy-maker/advisor role if they have worked for a company subject to that agency in the previous five years.

49 An outstanding observation from the "Nazi Next Door" link

"And this is the inevitable result of raising up generations of Americans without any fundamental attachment to freedom.

Freedom of speech, freedom of action, freedom of conscience: Our public schools told us these things were ubiquitous and natural, so there was nothing special about America having them. There was nothing special about anyone having them. And because leftists dont realize just how hard our ancestors had to fight for these unique and historically unprecedented rights, theyre not shocked or even sad to see them taken away. "

Probably already linked, but: Boycott the Beijing Olympics

The American way of life has been nearly destroyed over the past two years by a virus that came from communist China. Politically, economically, and socially, America has been devastated. As of this writing, 850,000 Americans have died. Why, then, is the U.S. Olympic team preparing to head to Beijing to participate in the Winter Olympics?

55 The propagandist will not accuse the enemy of just any misdeed; he will accuse him of the very intention that he himself has and of trying to commit the very crime that he himself is about to commit. He who wants to provoke a war not only proclaims his own peaceful intentions but also accuses the other party of provocation

Vaccination status is just one prong of the effort. It's an obvious and controversial prong, but it is just part of the same. The state says to get vaccinated. If you choose to disobey, you disobedience is dissent. This is no different, in essence, from disobedience in other realms like CRT or sex politics or speech controls or climate change or even relatively mundane things like tax policy.

The problem isn't that you don't want a vaccine. They probably don't even care (many or most of them, anyway). The problem is that you're disobedient.

88 Almost half of Democratic voters -- 48 percent -- think the government should be able to fine or imprison individuals "who publicly question the efficacy of the existing [Chinese] COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications."
++++
This raises two eyebrows for me. Given that the question is quoted, I will assume that it is the actual question asked.

First, half of Dem voters are now all-in on criminalizing speech if the result is correct. I doubt it is correct. This reeks like a push poll to move opinion rather than measure it, which almost all polls are. The only thing of which I am confident is that more leftists approve of aggressive speech controls than do non-leftists - but that's not news.

Second, print is not mentioned. Newspapers, books, magazines, direct mail, billboards, handbills, stickers, leaflets, skywriting, fortune cookies and any other form of writing isn't even considered. This is interesting as well as being an obvious omission from the question. It makes me think that the question had to have been written by a younger Millennial or an older Zoomer.

I can think of three reasons right off the top of my head. It may be that none of them are right. First, it might be new to them and they don't know - or didn't consider - that the activities are not actually new.

Or it could be that they know this, but it has new relevance in the current context of dissenters being treated as internal enemies. 'This isn't new, but it has new implications.' The discovery of the atom was interesting, but it gained relevance when we invented an atomic bomb.

Or it could be that this is new and no different than it was before, and the paper is either a perpetrator or a victim of that constant propaganda effort that has as one of its aims the demoralization of the opponent.

Colonel Travis

Colonel, I strongly suggest getting a prescription for Tamsulosin, which relaxes the ureter and helps the stones pass more quickly and less painfully. Also, get prescription pain meds--you'll need them. Drink as much water as you can throughout the day. Use a heating pad. A kidney stone strainer will collect the stones. Your doctor may want to analyze them for future treatment options. Good luck, and I hope you get relief soon!

True, and fair enough. I don't agree, however, that the absence of whistle-blowers during this event is justified or adequately explained by that. This was non-classified material and, important, DARPA *didn't* participate.

When the idea of the lab leak was raised and promptly and utterly suppressed by the Complex, no one who knew that DARPA had seen this exact proposal, with these exact risks - and had turned it down because of those risks - said a word.

Later, EcoHealth Alliance and Daszak and their plans were discovered and the suppression of the narrative was amplified, Still, no one at DARPA who had knowledge - people numbering into the dozens at least, if I had to guess - mentioned that they had seen this exact proposal, with these exact risks, with these exact freaking *people* in the past. Not even anonymously. No whistle-blowers, even among institutions that *didn't* do it.

It's all about the network. Some Advantage plans have great networks. Some have tiny networks. The larger the perks variety, often the smaller the network of stuff you actually need. "We'll give you a sneaker allowance for your exercise routine" probably means "we don't have many doctors who can treat you." The money has to come from somewhere.

Advantage plans with good networks and reasonable, upfront terms might well be a better choice. It was for my folks, but it varies by location. The network through their Advantage carrier is excellent and it comes out a bit - but not hugely - cheaper and their overall access actually improved afterward. Every local and regional hospital and most doctors are in the network where they live. As with everything, you need to be careful.

The left goes after individuals that won't get with their program, personally, in a myriad of ways.

Remember David Carr of Oakland, who when he refused to kneel for BLM, faced his O-Line letting him get sacked repeatedly until he was injured?

People backing down is disappointing, but until we fight a way to either help these people, or better yet apply equal and opposite pressure on the culture, we will see this pattern continue.

I know that those involved in the Vietnam imbroglio were conscripts, but didn't a very large number of those in the jungle have no desire to shoot anyone and just put rounds into the air?

Human Nature hasn't changed over the years, there are still a whole bunch of people who have never thrown a punch and have never been punched in the face.

I think the reason there was no "whistle blower" in this situation is likely because the government as a whole saw a potential benefit in this research. DARPA may have passed on it because they had other, more promising projects underway. If another agency wanted to take it on, fine. Nothing to see here...

This is why Fauci was able to divert funds and personnel and nobody said a word, and keeps their mouths shut to this day. The government saw potential, beneficial (to the gov't) uses in this work. Whether it was a bioweapon, disease control, whatever... the feds felt like they needed it.

=========

I suspect the elevation of niche issues that make people and their children feel unsafe in combination with massive inflation is doing nothing good for them. It's probably some kind of multiplying factor in things going wrong. "Well, I could tolerate my son's male kindergarten teacher parading around in a dress, but I also can't afford my boxed wine anymore. My enthusiasm for the Democratic platform is less now than when all I had to do was hate Donald Trump."

And governing well is always a key to gaining power, but it's especially important when you steal power. Stealing power means you don't have the will of the governed on your side to begin with. Just antagonizing them further is a recipe for a mess.

SAINT OF THE DAY
St. Canute IV of Denmark (1042 - 1086 A.D.) was one of thirteen sons born to the king of Denmark. Canute later succeeded his brother to the throne and reigned as king from 1080 to 1086. He was a devout Catholic, a zealous propagator of the faith, in addition to being a man of prayer, penance, austerity, and charity towards the poor and weak among his people. He fought against the barbarian nations and worked to strengthen the power of the monarchy, but some of his laws were unpopular and caused unrest among the people. Canute sought to expand Denmark's territory and believed he had a claim to the English throne. In 1085 he gathered his fleet and planned an invasion of England to overthrow William the Conqueror, a plan which was never realized. Instead, a revolt broke out against Canute, causing him to take refuge inside St. Alban's Priory in Odense. Canute, his brother, and seventeen of his men were pursued and killed by rebels in front of the altar. He was named a martyr for the faith, and many miracles were reported at his tomb. He was canonized in the year 1101, the first Danish saint.

257 It's easy to hold others and even yourself, to a standard that you can not keep.

Simon Peter told Jesus that he would never abandon him, even if all others fell away. Jesus told him that before the night was out, he would deny him 3 times.

Jesus later, and no coincidentally, asked Simon Peter if he truly loved him....three times.

We are weak in the face of our world and it's long knives, but we should understand that the Lord understands this, knows our hearts, and gives us opportunities to confess our faith in a way that will keep us from dwelling in that failure.

We can be upset with folks like Drew Brees if we like, but we are all guilty of our own failures. The Lord will accept us into the Kingdom even though we fail. And we should practice the same grace on earth towards one another. If the Lord can forgive us our failings from the cross, we can forgive each other as well.

266 Remember David Carr of Oakland, who when he refused to kneel for BLM, faced his O-Line letting him get sacked repeatedly until he was injured?

If that is true, and I don't know who David Carr is, but if your O is not going to protect you, the D will pick-up on this and start blitzing knowing that they will have unimpeded access to the passer.

I would call nothing but ground plays and yell at the O-Line coach for not doing his job. If that failed, I would feign an injury to avoid a real one since the team has already decided to hurt themselves rather than win.

From a few tradespeople I work with am around and unfortunately acquainted by proxy, I am completely and thoroughly sickened at the vile evil shit they spew and advocate against people like us. The rot is deeper than what we see or read about.
For our side, even here at AoS "we couldn't agree on the color of our own shit". We aren't going to come together, we are incapable of it, so we are on our own when the shit hits the fan. Enjoy what you have left of life but toughen up. Its going to get ugly.

I think it also serves another purpose, also nefarious. To some degree, I think that group work/team activities *should* be part of the classroom environment. It is in the real world. You have to learn how to work together and achieve an objective and make sure your tasks are completed.

There was no accountability in group work when I was a kid, and I doubt that's changed. We were thrown an assignment and told to turn it in on time. How we got there wasn't described or taught. And what happened was that the kids learned a different lesson: someone in that group cares about the outcome more than the others, and he will carry the group over the finish line by his own effort. The rest can ride for free without so much as a thank-you.

I recall this vividly when the shelves were bare in 2020 and nobody knew what was going to happen. And nobody still knows what's going to happen. A forum discussion on non-perishable foods, someone had a bug up their ass about non-BPA canned food liner material. I was like look, that's all very well, but in the extreme you are worried about getting enough calories, fats, and protein. That's it, that's the name of the game.

Others refused to even acknowledge the concept of stockpiling any foods against the future. This was inexplicable. 10 years ago, OK, you might have looked like a nut. But to discount this entirely, makes no sense. I'd point out a huge volcanic eruption in 1815 - Tambora - screwed up the weather badly for 2 years, crops failed, and caused food riots in Europe and elsewhere, Just sayin'.

It's just weird that people can absolutely deny that what is right in front of their face. That is some serious mind fvckery right there.

He continued, "The unvaccinated people in the U.S. are key to the reason that coronavirus, the variants are emerging, And that the reason I'm looking at the stats from the CDC and the reason why it's replicating and mutating. It's because of unvaccinated people who are doing their own research online. I can't do my own research better than experts who devoted their lives to medical and scientific research."

354 I had a thought when I saw a brief story on the "free N95 masks" program on the news this morning. The masks - around 400 million of them - are going to ship out of the national strategic stockpile. Setting aside whether is an appropriate use for goods in the strategic stockpile (I think it isn't), it raises a *very* uncomfortable question.

Per the WaPo, two years ago: The stockpile distributed 85 million N95 respirators ... But the stockpile's reserves were not significantly restored after the 2009 pandemic, in the view of industry and public health experts.

So during H1N1, the Stockpile released about 85 million N95 masks, and wasn't resupplied adequately. This is what Trump talked about with "bare shelves." So if in 2009 we released call it 100 million masks and didn't restock to that level, and we faced an availability problem in 2020 when the pandemic started, where did the 400 million - almost 5x more than we distributed in 2009 - for this giveaway come from? Was the Trump Admin able to resupply the stockpile to this degree, or was the status of the stockpile lied about? Are they lying about this and the supplies aren't actually present?

410 The first Robin Sage exercise took place in 1974. Obviously the left has no monopoly on hysteria and paranoia.

411 I have seen this or that version of "Almost half of Democratic voters -- 48 percent -- think the government should be able to fine or imprison individuals "who publicly question the efficacy of the existing [Chinese] COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications." Such things are all over the webz; they are nearly unavoidable.

But they never seem to go on to say "..and that number is rising." We're missing it, folks: they WILL escalate this, and will do so in our time.

412 The Philippines? Really? One of the reasons Cape Canaveral was chosen for the space center was because hurricanes almost never directly hit it. The Philippines however, are a magnet for ever major storm that hits the Pacific.

413 I hate to be a grammar nazi (not really) but the expression is 'I couldn't care less' - a negative.

I could care less is meaningless as an expression of disdain or disgust.

414 I am a graduate of the Special Forces "Q" Course.

I went through Robin Sage, it is the final exercise of the course, and has been conducted many times a year since 1952, although I'm not sure that it was called that then.

It is a guerrilla warfare exercise where the students train and organize insurgent forces to resist an invader/occupier. We worked training regular soldiers from Ft. Bragg as guerrillas, and worked among the citizenry of central North Carolina, in and around the Uwharrie National Forest.

Hopefully this should dispel some of the misinformation, (ha!), about this issue.
