The Morning Report — 9/2/22

joestoogesnazi.jpg

Good morning kids. I honestly did not think we could get any lower than a Gestapo raid on a former president based on a plot to frame him for treason, let alone the theft of a national election that effectively nailed the coffin shut on America as founded.

But still, they persisted. To call last night's sickening spectacle at, of all places, Independence Hall among the darkest hours in our history is wishful thinking. Because that's what we called the aforementioned and everything else that has happened since then which led us to last night. If history teaches us anything, it's going to get a hell of a lot darker before the dawn comes. That is IF it comes. My fear is that we're going to be yearning for the comparative walk in the park that's been the past 18 months.

On yesterday's thread, regular commenter Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing, aka MP4, took the words of a failed Viennese artist made during an infamous speech made 83 years ago in front of another wildly enthusiastic audience and transposed a few words:

"I have very often in my lifetime been a prophet and have been mostly derided. At the time of my entry into congress, it was in the first instance the Republicans who only greeted with laughter my prophecies that I would someday take over the leadership of the state and of the entire people of America and then, among other things, also bring the fascist Republican problem to its solution. I believe that this hollow laughter of Republicans in America has already stuck in its throat. I want today to be a prophet again: if the Republicans should succeed in stealing another election, the result will be not their victory, but the annihilation of the fascist Republican party in America!"

Over the top? Considering that mop-top regime mouthpiece Karine Jean-Pierre all but declared the pro-life movement – a non-violent, broad-based legitimate policy-based movement that has been in the public discourse since forever – "semi-fascist" and "extremist" and that President Brain Damage agrees with that assessment, you tell me. And that is just one example.

The most chilling thing is not just the demonization and projection. That's to be expected. Look who was standing directly behind him:

Journalists with CNN and CBS severely criticized [puppet] President Joe Biden for having the U.S. military behind him as he gave a political speech that demonized MAGA Republicans as a dark threat to American democracy. “Whatever you think of this speech the military is supposed to be apolitical. Positioning Marines in uniform behind President Biden for a political speech flies in the face of that. It’s wrong when Democrats do it. It’s wrong when Republicans do it,” tweeted CNN’s Brianna Keilar.

Presidents, legitimate or in this case otherwise, often give speeches where there are uniformed military personnel on the stage with them. But given the content and context of this speech, the message Biden's handlers wanted to send was unambiguous. The only question it raises is, is the use of the military against the citizenry a threat or a promise? And that leads to other unsettling yet unavoidable questions.

This sick, perverted, criminal low-life just officially on national television, despite all three house organ networks not carrying it, declared his predecessor and everyone in the nation who voted form him, supports his policies and by extension anyone who now opposes what he, the sick, perverted, criminal low-life and his handlers have been doing since January 20, 2021 and have yet to do an official enemy of the people, with all that that implies, there can only be one response.

If, as expected, his party receives a drubbing at the polls, will he and they accept it? Not bloody likely. Furthermore, knowing that they are in for a drubbing, will they even allow the elections to take place if they do not have what it takes to "fortify" them? Ditto. But moving beyond mere elections, the labeling of at least half the country as an existential threat to "our precious democracy" (*vomits*), is to me an arrest warrant if not a death sentence. When you have brainwashed several generations into thinking that Republicans, conservatives and really anyone who believes in the traditional American, Judeo-Christian ideals as an existential threat to the peace of the world and really the world itself, you get James Hodgkinson as well as the 2020 Summer of Love 2 Mostly Peaceful Boogaloo.

The only bright spot, and truly the one thing that reflected the actual mood of the American people, was the heckler in the audience who chanted "FUCK JOE BIDEN!" Amen, preach it brother. The tinfoil hat on my head whispered in my ear that maybe this was an intentional plant in the audience for Biden to have a mic-drop moment. Either way, it was the line of the night. Meh, the line of the decade.

Between the policy disasters as well as all of these mush-mouthed, malodorous blood libels, the common wisdom from the punditry has been that it will all backfire on Biden and the Left. To which I respond, take a look around at almost every level both in and out of government and tell me who is still in the driver's seat. There are those who say that we can't vote our way out of this.

After what that bastard said last night, I tend to believe it. God help us. And God help them.

Have a good weekend.

J.J., this wasn't a campaign speech. This was a non-political official White House speech. The White House stated such. Willowed:

It is crucial to note that it wasn't a campaign speech.

It was an official White House President of the United States speech from the Office of the President of the United States declaring policies and positions of the United States.

This was an official policy speech made on company time and authority.

29 The most nationally mortifying moment in my experience as an American. The edifying aspect of it is important: the veil has dropped. Anybody who still believes the Democrat Party is anything but a totalitarian chrysalis is morally lost, not paying attention, or irremediably stupid.

44 MAGA Americans, I say Americans, because I know President Trump pulled in more than a few Democrats, have now been officially declared enemies of Deep State.

Inflation and shortages are now the norm, to the point regular people are suffering.

Since MAGA Americans are now persona non grata, doesn't it also follow we're now going to be labeled wreckers and hoarders? We're already doing political prisoners and show trails, so, not hard to see wrongthink encoded into law. Heck, hate crime laws are already on the books.

54 The thing I have always made the contention about the tactics used by Hitler and the Nazis:

-slow, building speeches with rising tension and volume
-large set piece displays of light or groups of people

The thing is both of these ideas and techniques are far older that Hitler/Nazis. The thing is they are effective ways to present a speech or set an argument. It is only in hindsight that we branded them as 'Nazi/Fascist.' They were used by the Nazis BECAUSE they were effective. The content of the speeches were what was actually objectionable. Their effectiveness is neutral however. When the invective and labeleling and so forth has been hurled back and forth, I have always given a bit of a shrug because no matter how something is framed or what speech technique is used, it is the content of the argument that makes it good or bad. I always figured it would be a while, but those techniques would be brought back and used again because they are effective, absent the anti-semitism and overall evil.

Well, I was right that they would be used again, but Biden went right back to the hate. Huh. That's embarrassing.

Joey Glue Sniffer is down to 38 percent approval again despite trying to buy votes, the FBI is in disarray, the military lurches from disaster to disaster, the courts are reining in some of the excesses now, and Covid/monkeypox/whatever is effectively demised, deceased, is no more, etc. no matter how many times that they put the shock paddles to it.

This is a coup regime aware of what they did to get in power and that staying in power depended on policy success and public approval. None of that has materialized.

It's not just the historical patterns of the speeches but of the methods they lead to. Labeling and stigmatizing are necessary to introduce what follows. The 87,000 IRS agents will help that along. But in a way, they've skipped some steps, or are scrambling the process, as they've already incarcerated several hundred. Disarming comes next -- anybody who doesn't see an Executive Order to ban firearms isn't paying attention. This might be helped by some flare-ups of "domestic terrorism (or false flags). I think the speech sets all this in motion.

What other choices have they got? Given the damage they've already wrought, and given who they are as morally demented characters, what else can they do?

'Will' was always a big watchword for the Nazis (and also used by Stalin, IIRC.) That all that was required for victory and success was the will, unified from the people, directed by a single man's vision.

The Romans believed that absolute power should never be concentrated in the hands of one man. The Consuls were essentially kings, their words law, but what made it different was that there were always to be two of them and they would serve for only a year, after which they could be called to account for their deeds. That system 'worked' sort of, but the protections were what was eroded. Until they gave up the whole system, which at that time was a farce.

156 There's some number of crazies out there. Some number of those would preemptively take up arms against the feds given a relatively small provocation. Last night's speech was designed to provide that provocation.

And if nothing happens, they'll gain a little bit more ground, making the next provocation a little bit more effective while also making dissent a little less possible. Its not a binary strategy. There's more than one way they can win in this.

If there's some small cell of people willing to go into deep red areas to spread terror, it won't last very long. Too many guns in private hands. Too many local law on the side of those who elect them.

It's why antifa has always been a blue on blue problem. Whenever they tried to move outside of places where local DAs were willing to let them do whatever they wanted, they folded fast. I've seen nothing to tell me otherwise.

Also...the entire Democrat Party was saying, "Burn it down" in 2020. It burned down blue enclaves.

215 Just a timely reminder that history repeats itself.

I keep mentioning my book on the Spanish Civil War not only to make money, but for the same reason I was compelled to write it: we need to absorb its lessons before it is too late.

The first lesson is that people have to be pushed and pushed hard into war. Everyone who is saying they are disappointed with the lack of armed resistance to this point needs to sit down. Violence is not something any civilized society should embrace lightly. It is not something that can be calibrated.

The American people are doing what the Spanish people did: trying to vote their way out of the situation. They are using legitimate means such as lawsuits, recall elections, etc. to avoid the catastrophe of civil war. Because our institutions are stronger than Spain's were, this just might work. (cont')

The speech last night pushed things even further. Brandon told us what the official White House position is for 75 million Americans.

Normally, I shrug and say, "whatever." For me, though, Brandon's speech last night was a line which should not have been crossed.

231 But given the content and context of this speech, the message Biden's handlers wanted to send was unambiguous. The only question it raises is, is the use of the military against the citizenry a threat or a promise? And that leads to other unsettling yet unavoidable questions.

Put into context with what WEF puppet leaders have been saying and doing in other Western nations across the world -- Canada, UK, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, etc -- this is downright scary shit.

People too often have been looking at this through a normal American political lens. But since summer 2020, when I found out about the Great Reset and the WEF, I have been looking at everything globally. And it is no coincidence that every single Western nation has their leaders pushing the same things: Plandemic policies, "net zero carbon" policies, D.I.E. policies, gender dysphoria, inflation-causing policies... and then when people complain about the consequences of those policies, every single national leader brands those people extremists and enemies of the state.

People seem to think that this rhetoric from Biden, Democrats and the Left to demonize the majority of the American people as extremists is in an effort to create a Timothy McVeigh situation. I think that's what they are hoping. But I also think they have a backup plan as well.

I think they're planning to JFK Joe Biden and already have their MAGA Republican patsy setup to blame for it. And then they will use that as their Reichstag Fire to solidify their full tyrannical takeover of federal government in the country. Not to mention, every Democrat Governor and mayor will use it to their advantage in their state and city.

And then they will use that as their Reichstag Fire to solidify their full tyrannical takeover of federal government in the country. Not to mention, every Democrat Governor and mayor will use it to their advantage in their state and city.

But... if you're an America First/MAGA candidate and face similar threats is your election now at risk... regardless what the polling may have been? And, if you somehow squeak out a win it's automatically assumed you cheated. Then the lawsuits start while the seat goes unfilled.

If nobody responds against them its a win, as they've successfully pushed the window a little more, making their next move a little more accepted. Today its Jen Rubin calling for mass arrests. Do these little shows a couple more months ? It'll be Joe Six Pack calling for mass arrests.

If their side responds ? Also a win, see the summer of BLM. There was no massive downside to those actions.

If "our" side responds. A win as well, as it'll create division within the Lefts enemies while the Right fights over who can apologize more.

Scary that they are so isolated from reality that they have no idea that 99% of the country is unfamiliar with any "Dark Brandon" meme, and comforting in that because of that isolation, they're going to lose badly in 2022 and 2024.

368 Looks like the Trump Rally is going to be interesting. Might be worth tuning into.

1) Location Scranton. That is not random.

2) Oz and Mastriano will both be there. Trump is polling well ahead of both of them in PA, and Trump holding a rally for them will help. They need Trump voters.

3) Neither Fetterman nor Shapiro showed up to any of Biden's events.

4) McCarthy gave his remarks condemning the Biden speech while in Scranton. That means House leadership at a minimum will be on the stage with Trump. That is a pretty important statement as well.

From the Electric Vehicles mandate article:

It is not only the "blue states" in our country that are on board with the rush toward electric vehicles. Bank Australia has taken even more dramatic action. Within the next three years, no new loans will be issued for the purchase of gasoline powered vehicles.

This is being done whether customers in Australia want it or not. The bank's Chief Impact Officer, Sasha Courville, said, "By ceasing car loans for new fossil fuel vehicles, we are sending a signal to the Australian market about the rapid acceleration in the transition from internal combustion to electric vehicles we expect to see in the next few years."

Since Americans can expect to see such banking mandates and more in our country, it is essential to fight back against such insanity.

There's a concept in intelligence analysis called "mirror imaging." It's where you can only perceive your adversary on your own terms, not on his. Thus, you assume that his goals are the same as yours and his fears, methods, etc. are also the same.

Of course, that's rarely true, but we see it a lot from the left today. The left are physical cowards. They bully from behind a keyboard, but in person they scream for teacher/cops if they feel the slightest bit intimidated.

In politics, the exact same thing holds true, and has held throughout history.

In those situations the rules are more constricted. You know how many aces you hold, for example.

In political/military strategy, things are much more open and Americans consistently misjudge their opponents' goals. The left is doing this wholesale and it could have calamitous results.

Putting Marines on display is a show of force, just like the Capitol defenses. Whoever is running the show thinks that this is how you overawe an enemy.

475 There is little question that many individual defendants, as well as the agency as a whole, engaged in wrongdoing,” Friedrich writes. “Even so, Page has brought no actionable claim against any individual defendant or against the United States.”
The rationale used to dismiss Page’s lawsuit relies on a gap the court found in the FISA law’s redress subsections.
“That Congress allowed suit against only those who conduct unauthorized surveillance, and not those who at the application stage mislead the FISC to approve that surveillance—may seem odd,” Friedrich writes. “But it is not so ‘absurd when considered in the particular statutory context,’ as the Court must.”

Just point them to Ukraine - Ukraine has no real air power, Russia does - yet they are in a stalemate.

Also point them to Vietnam. the U.S. had vast air superiority. Yet we lost the war (yes, I know, we were really winning militarily but the politicians lost the war - same thing b/c the result is the same).

Or even point to the American Revolution - while jets were not involved, the British certainly had a far superior military.

Or point to Cuba. Fidel's marxist won their revolution with no air power. I assume Batista had some air power on his side.

The who - you can't fight jets with a gun argument is absolute nonsense. A civil war would not be won with jets unless the left decided to just destroy huge swaths of civilian population and infrastructure with no regard for who is or is not a combatant. Which - they probably would.

True, but I really don't get it from these clowns that they are the ones to make it work.

The administration is constantly backbiting itself with no real plan for any pronouncement (the student loan thing? no one knows what's happening). Their ability to wield the military is slipping, not because they are losing leadership support but because the force is actively shrinking.

To install the kind of dictatorship across America is well beyond them. It's beyond anyone. We're too spread out and too numerous and too well armed. They're fighting for the top spot of a mountain of graft, nothing more.

Yes, but at the expense of their military and their adversaries wising up to them. Will anyone take Russia's military power seriously in the future? I find that hard to believe. Yes, they still have nukes - but I can't imagine Russia even claiming to be able to fight a conventional war against NATO in the next 20 years. Their military has been exposed as 3rd rate at best.

to me, the victory you are describing for Russia is a pyrrhic victory. They've gained some territory but lost a lot of their best military equipment, best trained troops, military credibility, and Western Europe is waking up to the threat of Russia. To me they've lost more than they've gained.

The Iron Sheik hitting Hulk Hogan with the flat side of a chair and then prancing around to jeers and boos while Hulk climbs the turnbuckle is completely different from him hitting him with the corner and caving his skull in.

The ROE mattered, and it was always "don't conquer anything. Just spend money." Like you said, then Obama and Biden gave everything back. No one was defeated. They surrendered because it was all pro-wrestling. It was pointless. All those deaths and injuries were for nothing.

We knew the Left was going to do this. Watch them dig up the videos of Pelosi and NY Mayor from February 2020 where they were on television encouraging people to go out and celebrate Chinese New Year at parades and saying that all the COVID talk from Trump was misinformation and scare tactics.

They'll show those and then say that the COVID situation was completely under control, but Trump then botched it and caused the outbreak in the USA and that's why they shut down the country in March 2020.

These people outright lie about everything. No reason to think they won't also lie and blame Trump for the pandemic response. They're going to soon blame the "vaccines" on him as well. Just like they did a complete 180 on masks from February 2020 to March 2020, they'll do the same on "vaccines".

I'm sure Wretched will find a way to blame the Michigan nursing home deaths on Trump as well. And sail to landslide re-election.

564 Don't get distracted by jets, btw. Drones are where it's at now. And they can be selective about those people, because they don't have to be as good at what they do as jet pilots.

They've got their pick of anti-fascist types to choose from.

567 The ROE mattered, and it was always "don't conquer anything. Just spend money." Like you said, then Obama and Biden gave everything back. No one was defeated. They surrendered because it was all pro-wrestling. It was pointless. All those deaths and injuries were for nothing.

If it happens here those ROEs to not offend muslims - sorry, Republicans - won't exist BTW.

Well, that's not entirely accurate. We spent 20 years trying to destroy the taliban completely and had complete air supremacy and couldn't do it. That was my point. Whether the motives or tactics were something you agree with or I agree with is irrelevant to that point.

But I don't get what you are arguing. Are you arguing that Biden is right - people with guns can never defeat a power with jets? I'm not sure what you are arguing that defeats my point. History has instances (Vietnam, for instance) where the power with air superiority and/or just military superior is still defeated.

569 All of word in and abut the speech seem to miss the real question:

What event made the Biden White House go in this direction ?
1) the raid at Mar-A-Lago didn't find anything really useful to end Trump
2) the election polls are that bad
3) Joe Biden has lost his mind

The underlying cause started before the speech as the White press interactions have been signaling the same sort of rot.
If you get right down to it, the Republicans haven't done much different in the last year and a half, except for being busy with elections .. the center of democracy.

570 538 My take on the Kirchner assassination attempt: it was a hoax. When was the last time you pulled the trigger on a loaded pistol, and it didn't go off? Very unlikely event.

German Foreign Minister Says Support For Ukraine Will Continue "No Matter What Voters Think"


This is what I mentioned earlier that I saw on Paul Joseph Watson's latest video.

PJW also stated that the Russia-Ukraine war could have been ended within weeks of it starting months ago, as there was a potential peace deal in place. And then Boris Johnson went to meet with Zelensky and torpedoed the deal.

The WEF and other world elites want the war to keep going. It's all a scam for them. Enriching China, enriching Russia -- China is buying liquid natural gas from Russia at small cost, then selling it to European nations at high cost -- and funneling billions upon billions of money from taxpayers of Western nations to Ukraine.

PJW: It's a Scam -- https://bit.ly/3wQ2VkW

575 263 Silly thought: is it at all possible that those Marines weren't actually Marines?
Posted by: All Hail Eris, She-Wolf of the 'Ettes 'Ettes at September 02, 2022 08:37 AM (Dc2NZ)

In my book it is a Lead Pipe Certainty they weren't "actual" Marines, whether that is technically correct or not.

576 But I don't get what you are arguing.

ROE mainly. Which will be, let's say, "loose" against MAGA fascists if the Democrats let it get to the point that they're pushing the country to.

Air superiority is less important than 10% for politicians. It can be detrimental, even.

578 Due to workers at home, COVID, wash-and-wearing jammies, a $30K broken shirt press and a crippling traffic detour [but mostly...], I have lost my last local dry cleaner. The nearest one is over the river and through the Hoods. There's a dying industry for you.

Anyone have a source for permanent press Hugo Boss uniform separates?

580 Barry Soetero: "We can't continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

That would be antifa, blm, occupy wallstreet, and "move on" assorted jackboot movements.

They've just been given permission by pResident Biden a doctrine "by any means necessary" to engage in righteous aggression against us Bitter Clingers, even if it means we will die by their hand.

And record our last moments to watch later as they wait in line for their checks, signed by Soros and China.

Once Obama got into office in 2008, the only way to get the commies our of the White House was the hard way. They never leave willingly.
