The Morning Report — 8/1/22

Good morning, kids. Start of a new week and a new month with the abuse of an illegitimate junta continuing its rampage of destruction and subjugation. Having been raised to trust the police, the press and a system of government that supposedly ensures my individual freedom, it has been shocking in the extreme to witness all of it evaporate right in front of my eyes. Many people refuse to see it, but when you do and accept the reality of "It Can't Happen Here" actually having happened here, it's a clarifying moment.

If you look into the recent past, well beyond Trump and Obama, so many incidents wherein you accepted the official story of both the government and media (the latter being the Siamese twin of the former, especially the Democrats, the bureaucracy and, when necessary, GOP globalist stooges), it is absolutely crystal clear that you were lied to in order to preserve, protect and defend the agenda of "fundamental transformation." Arguably, the prime example of that, which happened 30 years ago this month, and during the waning days of not a Democrat Leftist administration but putatively a pro-American hawk, is Ruby Ridge.

For those too young to remember, it was thirty years ago this month that the DOJ entrapped Randy Weaver for his Christian beliefs, issued a death warrant, killed his dog, son, and wife, and shot Weaver and his friend.
Surely, the DOJ doesn’t just execute innocent people. Yet, as we learned at trial:

He had no propensity to commit crimes. Never even had a traffic ticket. Never been charged with a crime of any kind and honorably served his country.
. . . The FBI knew Weaver, his wife, and his adult children regularly carried arms, as many did in the rural community. “We were right in the middle of grizzly territory, mountain lions, moose. They are very dangerous animals.” But certainly not more dangerous than government agents.
Eighteen months later, on August 21, 1992, marshals arrived making no announcement for surrender. They were “in combat gear. They were wearing full camouflage suits with black ninja-type hoods. They were carrying machine guns and semi-automatic pistols. They were trained to kill” . . .
. . . The NY Times ran the headline, “White Supremacist Surrenders. Weaver and his wife were believers in Christian Identity, which holds that Europeans are the lost tribe of Israel, that blacks are subhuman and Jews are satanic. The agency has said its officers fired only after being shot at.” With that, the guilt had been assigned, the DOJ absolved, and the demonization was complete.
Weaver, charged with first-degree murder, though he never fired a shot at anyone, faced the death penalty. The DOJ subpoenaed a staggering 51 witnesses over three months, and when it was done, Weaver was found not guilty on all counts except minor charges for failing to appear.
As for the DOJ, Larry Potts, who signed that death warrant, was promoted to Deputy Director. The marshal who put a bullet into Sam’s back was awarded the medal of valor.
The sniper who assassinated Vicki had charges brought but dropped.

I left out the details of the entire incident but essentially, the FBI entrapped an innocent man and when he refused to work for them as a snitch, they set about an elaborate plot to have him liquidated. Many of the same individuals who are now the apex predators of our freedoms made their bones in the intel/law enforcement cabal back then. Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Wray, Garland and William Barr.

The same scam they pulled on Weaver is the same garbage they pulled on Trump with the phony pee tape and worse, the January 6th "insurrection" scam that ensnared dozens of innocent Americans to create the narrative of Trump/conservative = Nazi threat to "our precious democracy" (*vomit). As many have said, and rightly so, the FBI and DOJ are so thoroughly corrupt that they need to be dismantled. Whatever legitimate activities they may engage in should be decentralized and tightly controlled, if possible. But, like impeaching President Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, what good will it do when every other department and every other agency in the federal and many state governments is equally corrupt, weaponized as tools of oppression to smash any voices of dissent to the path our nation and society has been put on for over 100 years, seeming inexorably? Add to it vast swathes of society outside government, most especially academia, and you see the predicament we find ourselves in?

No, the whole damn thing has to be shut down. You cannot use the instrumentalities of government and society in general to reverse course when it's those very things that got us in trouble in the first place. Friend and friend of the blog Michael Walsh:

In case you haven't heard, the United States is currently in the process of "transitioning." For reasons of decorum, and to not upset the rubes, from what to what is never quite spelled out, but those of us who have been following the "progressive" Left for the past six decades or so have a pretty clear idea of what they mean. It was first brazenly articulated by candidate Barack Obama in a campaign appearance just before the 2008 presidential election when he said, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
At the time, such braggadocio was largely chalked up to typical hustings rhetoric by a fresh new face eager to contrast his relative youth (Obama was 47 at the time) with the geriatric-adjacent ambulatory husk of John McCain, who was 72, You know, something akin to John F. Kennedy's line in his 1961 inaugural address about "a new generation of Americans, born in this century." JFK was born in 1917; Dwight Eisenhower, the man he was succeeding, had been born in 1890. Even though both had served during World War II (Eisenhower as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, Kennedy as a Navy lieutenant in the Pacific), they seemed of vastly different generations. In other words, just talk.
Except, as we now know, it wasn't. Obama meant every one of those thirteen infamous words, and older folks who had lived through the 1960s knew exactly what he meant. "Change" was not simply a buzzword meant to distinguish the "new" policies of one party from the "old" policies of the other, within a context of broadly accepted governing principles and love for the nation as founded, including the primacy of the Constitution. Rather, it was a complete break from the American tradition, a kind of cultural-political coup whose message couldn't have been clearer. . .
. . . now that the adults are back, what the hell? If girls can be boys and boys can be girls, it's a mixed-up, muddled-up shook up world anyway. There is no innate nature to anything any more, and nothing really matters. As the Left's favorite economist, John Maynard Keynes, famously said: "In the long run, we are all dead," so let's party like it's 476 or 1543 or 1914. It's the ultimate triumph of mind over matter, of fiat over gold, of fantasy over reality, and you're a bigot if you think otherwise. You're the enemy now. So like the blushing bride on her wedding night, lie back, think of England, and let the transitioning begin. After all, you have no choice. You're next.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

Michael Walsh: ". . . now that the adults are back, what the hell? If girls can be boys and boys can be girls, it's a mixed-up, muddled-up shook up world anyway.

America's "Transitioning"—But to What?
"Under global governance the democratic process becomes a play in which the democrats speak lines written by non-accountable global governance bureaucrats. It ends in a series of clashes and crises like those cited above. And whether or not those who protest are indulged or crushed depends in part on whether their demos and lawsuits are aimed at obstructing the global governance agenda or advancing it."

composed of traitors, liars, thieves, pedophiles, sexual deviants. criminals, and corrupt grifters at every level of the internal government of the US, plus a plethora of hostile foreign governments (and their agents) that craved the furtherance of the NWO and feared Trump would interrupt the graft!

42 'What's a Monkeypox?' San Fran Leather Fest Goes on Despite Public Health Warning from WHO

--

Yesterday, I clicked on an article over at American Thinker on Monkeypox...that led to another link contained within it. The link showed what exactly happens at this San Fran leather fest. I dare you to go look at it. You can even choose to look at the blurred photos, which I did. And I still came away utterly, utterly repulsed. It was the most disgusting, debauched, degenerate, filthy garbage I've ever seen. I do not say that lightly. I mean every word. Even with blurred images, I could not read past page 1, nor could I go look at the other link for another year that was within the article.

So what's the plan for dealing with it? Who has a plan? Trump? DeSantis? But is it too big for one man (as I often hear)? After all, wasn't Trump shipwrecked before he got aboard, as all the institutions of government were against him, and what outright resistance didn't stymie, massive inertia did? It was hopeless, right?

No, it is not too big for one man (or woman). That is, one man, alone, cannot fight it, alone, but the right man (or woman) can inspire and mobilize others to engage the fight.

Diagnosing the disease and its cause, naming the enemy and the damage being done, and outlining the specific plan to contend with both, are the challenge and imperative NOW. This is the job NOW of anyone who purports to leadership in 2024.

73 There is no innate nature to anything any more, and nothing really matters. As the Left's favorite economist, John Maynard Keynes, famously said: "In the long run, we are all dead," so let's party like it's 476 or 1543 or 1914. It's the ultimate triumph of mind over matter, of fiat over gold, of fantasy over reality, and you're a bigot if you think otherwise.

The true believers think that. The ones who actually believe in Critical Theory and the Postmodern philosophy of social construction in all things believe that reality is mutable and can be changed if only we all agree to change it - it's the wreckers who refuse to believe that cause all the unpleasantness because they refuse to change the social construction upon which all things depend.

There are a lot of true believers, but fairly few of them are shot-callers in the global gang. The guys in charge don't believe it, they believe in power. I also think the rulers know that this isn't going to last and they're flirting with rebellion in various forms. I think they're cynically extracting everything they can in a final bit of ecstatic excess.

"He [Hoover] was wearing a fluffy black dress, very fluffy, with flounces and lace stockings and high heels, and a black curly wig," Summers quoted Susan as saying."He had makeup on and false eyelashes."[1]

Susan claimed Cohn introduced Hoover to her as"Mary." Hoover allegedly responded,"Good evening." She said she saw Hoover go into a bedroom and take off his skirt. There,"young blond boys" worked on him in bed. Later, as Hoover and Cohn watched, Lewis Rosenstiel had sex with the young boys.

The playbook was too public and messy. Ruby Ridge and Waco were PR disasters for the police state, because they were simultaneously still pretending (as they do now, though with less vigor and passion) that they were lawmen and that law was a thing. We're post-law now in fact, but not on paper. Things like Ruby Ridge and Waco make that a bit too clear. They prefer specific, political action now - like Jan 6 political prisoners and the predawn raids on specific declared political enemies.

Go back to the old scifi literature and you'll see it over and over again: man reshapes either himself or reality into some perfect vision. Often man evolves himself right out of corporeal existence (though sometimes a little corporeal is necessary for the hedonism). This is the essence of their dreams. And they chose Marxism as the religion to achieve it.

84 PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) -- The Kosovo-Serbia border was blocked again Tuesday by ethnic Kosovo Serbs protesting a decision by Kosovo authorities to start removing Serbian license plates from cars entering the country. The traffic chaos raised fears that it may unleash much deeper tensions between the two Balkan neighbors.

Serbia doesn’t recognize its former province of Kosovo as a separate nation and considers their mutual border only as an "administrative" and temporary boundary.

[...] Tensions soared Monday when Kosovo special police with armored vehicles were sent to the border to impose a rule on temporarily replacing Serb license plates from cars while they drive in Kosovo. It's a minor annoyance for drivers with a big symbolic impact. Kosovo authorities say they are only copying a program by Serbian police, who have for years been taking off registration plates from Kosovo-registered cars entering Serbia. Drivers then need to pay 5 euros for a temporary license plate.

It's my belief that she was chosen because Barack Obama wanted her. He wanted her to win the presidency, but she flopped in the primaries so badly that his dream sank. It's also my belief that they thought she could be spit and polished, coached and rehearsed enough that she would become automatically likeable. It hasn't worked.

99 Go back to the old scifi literature and you'll see it over and over again: man reshapes either himself or reality into some perfect vision. Often man evolves himself right out of corporeal existence (though sometimes a little corporeal is necessary for the hedonism). This is the essence of their dreams. And they chose Marxism as the religion to achieve it.

And Big Tech. Harris was Kalorama's pick and also Big Tech's pick. Tech financed her political life and she became their mascot. Obama's people groomed her for radical handling of higher office. She was anointed. The only problem is that she's a blathering, shrill fool with zero likability and since we are still pretending to be a representative system, they need someone who can at least get close enough for them to steal the rest. Harris is not someone who can get close enough, despite how popular she is with her faction of the ruling class.

He gets two lady applicants, both qualified equally and one is good looking and the other not very. Of course, he hires the good looking one, word gets out, and the Lady from Walmart hits him with a frivolous but expensive lawsuit.

I think this isn't an either/or consideration, but a "both" consideration. The two work together to achieve destruction. I don't think this was planned out in advance (it is too complicated and bizarre a phenomenon) but it was developed that way.

Someone did a great Twitter thread on this, and linked out to a couple of podcasts, and I think he's on to the mechanism of it fairly well. CRT and its feminist adjuncts tear you down. If you're white or male, you're an oppressor. It's original sin and you're inherently bad if you're in those groups. CRT destroys you and fills you with guilt and self-loathing.

Then comes Queer Theory, which rides to the rescue. Well, you can't overcome your oppressive privilege but you *can* embrace Queer Theory and find an escape hatch by becoming gay or trans. Cut your dick or tits off and gain entry into the club of the oppressed - and the good life.

What they want is lots of opportunities for their employers, the Manhattan Money Lenders, to pump and dump the savings of the Americans and the world.

192 Kamala Harris provides the government, especially the deep state a figurehead. More so than Obama. First, historic (black) woman to assume the White House. That's it.

But the options open to the government to instill draconian measures on a restless population are so much more with her than, say *biden. The perceived threats to Harris include those that can't realistically be brought up with a white retard like *biden.

Harris will be facing threats on multiple fronts; racism, sexism, white supremacy, etc. All those are hot button threats these days. By design. And we must, as a country, pity the poor black woman just trying to do her job if only those damn racists, sexists and white supremacists would get locked up.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at August 01, 2022 09:15 AM

What is most disturbing to me about that entire mess is multiple atf agents had lists of guns that people had bought. And it is B$ that they are "checking" on people with multiple guns sales in case of strawman purchases. One video has the agent clearing saying that he has a list of 7 guns they know the guy bought but they only need to see the last two that he bought to make sure he didn't sell them.

The atf or nics is keeping a gun registration data base and clearly has been for some time and no one is saying a word about it.

Obama's people groomed her for radical handling of higher office. She was anointed. The only problem is that she's a blathering, shrill fool with zero likability and since we are still pretending to be a representative system, they need someone who can at least get close enough for them to steal the rest. Harris is not someone who can get close enough, despite how popular she is with her faction of the ruling class.

=========

The "objective media" has always been a myth created to assuage the political establishment, creating a thin fiction designed to justify, politically, the monopoly over broadcast rights the big three enjoyed for so many decades. Up until that moment, the media was well known as propaganda arms of the parties, never to be trusted.

They didn't suddenly become brave truthtellers overnight. They remained the same but had to hide it better while also gaining implicit approval of their editorial powers from the government.

A few commenters like to go on incessantly on how Trump didn't do shit to dismantle the Deep State. Fair enough, but they never seem to take a scenario like this into account. Never thought out of what the consequences would be just "that goddam Trump failed us!" Of course not one will address it when asked, just accuse you of making excuses and being a Trump ride or die supporter.

314 Nichelle Nichols' Uhura was a solid example to everybody of doing one's job and performing courageously even when admitting one is frightened. Her character never pushed the "I'm black" line we'd hear today. Okay, there was that one line in a very early episode. Sulu (under the delusion he is a swashbuckler of the 18th Century) calls her "Fair maiden," and she growls, "Sorry, neither!"

Otherwise, she was a valued crewmember. In the Animated show she even commanded the ship once.

As for the interracial kiss bit, as I mentioned on the Tech Thread, there had been at least one IR kiss on network TV previously: Robert Culp and France Nuyen on an episode of I Spy almost 2 years before. Asian-white is still interracial, after all. And Shatner and France Nuyen kissed on the "Elaan of Troyius" episode too, though I'm not sure if it aired before or after the famous one.

Buffalo milk mozzarella is fantastic.
When we were stationed in Italy, one of the major regions for it was about 20 miles south of our house.

The buffalo were milked in the morning.
The cheese was made in the afternoon.
And delivered to our small little town in time for the evening meal.

NOBODY ate mozzarella that was more than 18 hours away from the buffalo.

. . . You're right. And I think Trelane, much earlier, called Uhura a Nubian princess, too. In each case it was merely a pleasant comment on her appearance -- no implications about evil white imperialist humans vs. "dark" or "oppressed" ones.

When Ex-ex and I were stationed in Hawai'i in the late 80s, the unit we were in hosted some Aussie soldiers and we had a beach BBQ up at North Shore.

This is pretty much all that's on my mind these days: how to fight. If one asserts that no leader can lead the fight as the deep state is too monolithic and vengeful, and that the people are too cowed to fight, you're left with what?

As I see it, it begins with the word. All great revolutionary figures and movements led first with the word. The leader of our time will define the problem, and malefactors, name it and them, their nature and goals, paint their future for all of us. This is what the Left and globalists fear -- to no longer be able to count on the conspiracy of fearful temporizing and equivocation of the rest of us.

This doesn't mean rallies and tweets and press releases or wisecracks from golf courses, but a true exhortative campaign that takes no prisoners, rhetorically speaking.

Posted by: Divide by Zero at August 01, 2022 08:55 AM

I think they showed Timothy McVeigh in the Waco TV miniseries with Taylor Kitsch and Michael Shannon. Didn't McVeigh state his rationale for his OKC domestic terrorist attack was because of federal law enforcement actions at Ruby Ridge and Waco?

Sadly, I think everyone in the federal government and federal agencies actually like when attacks like those from McVeigh happen. Because they can use that crisis to exert more control over the populace and push narratives about radical supremacists. All the while making broad brush definitions of what is a "radical supremacist".

And it has only gotten worse and worse and worse since the 1990s. To the point where in the 2020s we now have cake shops and pizza places declared radical bigots deserving of destruction and parents declared domestic terrorists.
