The Morning Report — 9/5/22

Good morning kids. Hope you're in the midst of an enjoyable Labor Day weekend. Just to break up the monotony of our plunging headlong into totalitarianism, I give you this incident from the paradise on earth that Justin Castreau-cescu and his ilk have inflicted on our Canadian friends up north:

At least 10 people are dead and 15 more have been hospitalized after two men went on a stabbing spree across Saskatchewan, Canada on Sunday, cops said as they searched for the killers. 

Two suspects — identified by Canadian police as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30 — remain at large and were last seen traveling in the Regina area in a black Nissan Rogue, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

The victims were found in 13 separate crime scene locations in the central Canadian province of Saskatchewan — largely within the James Smith Cree Nation, home to a large Indigenous community, and the tiny village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said.

The two men allegedly targeted some of their victims, while others were random, commanding officer of the Saskatchewan RCMP Rhonda Blackmore said.

I'm sure the victims were all comforted by the fact that barely two months ago, in the wake of the Uvalde mass shooting down here, their government enacted some of the most sweeping, draconian gun control laws anywhere. Much like what our own alleged "president" Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and his handlers at the Kalorama Klown Komintern are pushing.

On August 31, while announcing his new initiative to restrict gun rights, Joe Biden reportedly stated that if “brave right-wing Americans,” as he mockingly dubbed them, wanted to exercise rights under the Second Amendment to “fight against the country” that had become tyrannical, they “would need an F-15.” “You need something more than a gun,” he added, later referring to perhaps “nuclear weapons.” 

Such is a common trope from the Left, but it completely misunderstands the Second Amendment. Here is the understanding of the Second Amendment offered by Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, whose 1833 Commentaries on the Constitution is widely (and rightly) regarded as among the most authoritative treatises about the Constitution’s original meaning: “The importance of the Second Amendment will scarcely be doubted by anyone,” he wrote, because a well-regulated militia, comprised of the citizenry, “is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers.” (Emphasis added). “The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic,” he continued, “since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.” 

As Justice Story makes explicit, the purpose of the Second Amendment is three-fold: 1) for defense against foreign invasion; 2) for defense against domestic threats (whether “insurrection,” rebellion, or from just ordinary thugs and thieves); and 3) as importantly, for defense against domestic tyranny by the government itself. 

With all due respect to the author, John Eastman, Biden and the Left understand precisely why there is a Second Amendment. That is why they want to get rid of it. As if we needed any more examples of why the weapon used, no matter how lethal it might be, is irrelevant to the intent of the person using it, what happened in Canada is proof positive. And that is why this story more than likely will either be embargoed or failing that, spun faster than a dervish on an Iranian centrifuge doing the Enrichment 2: Stuxnet Boogaloo as proving some other point other than the obvious one.

The speech he made only the night before last Thursday's "Triumph of the Shrill" nightmare, billed as an address on the rising tide of crime, turned into an attack on the Second Amendment as well as on President Trump and really half of the country.

“For those brave right-wing Americans who say it’s all about keeping America independent and safe, if you want to fight against the country you need an F-15, you need something a little more than a gun.”

This is funny, coming from the fraud who literally handed Afghanistan to Dark Age throwbacks on a silver platter. I would also remind him of that little spat called the Vietnam War, where an indigenous populace who did not have F-15s but were armed to the teeth and highly motivated fought and defeated us as well as the French 20 years before. Of course, both of those catastrophes could have been avoided or at least mitigated, but turned into disaster only as a result of the ineptitude of his party from beginning to end.

The Taliban? The Vietcong? Meh, throw a few cruise missiles at them, waste the lives of a couple of ten thousand GIs, then throw a few billion at them in foreign aid while genuflecting in the General Assembly while begging forgiveness for colonialism, capitalism and the patriarchy. Winning!

But when it comes to the American people, meaning those who reside anywhere but in Martha's Vineyard, the Upper West Side, Bel Air and Silicon Valley, you better believe there will be nothing held back, no quarter. The rhetoric is more than just a smear. When Joey Soft-Serve belches up the phrase "clear and present danger," that is a pretext.

[Matt] Taibbi points out that it was no accident that Biden used the loaded phrase “clear and present danger” in describing Trump and his followers.

Biden went out of his way to quote federal judge Michael Luttig in calling the MAGA enemy a “clear and present danger.” The loaded term traces to a 1919 Supreme Court case in which Oliver Wendell Holmes created a test for judging if speech and/or other political activities may be suppressed. “The question,” Holmes wrote, “is whether the words… create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.” This “balancing test” was invoked to justify restrictions ranging from a ban on passing out antiwar leaflets to bars of membership in communist organizations. The “substantive evil” in such cases often involved a judgment that groups or individuals posed an active threat to overthrow the state — not so different from arguing that a political movement threatens “democracy itself.”

Taibbi points out that it was no accident that Biden used the loaded phrase “clear and present danger” in describing Trump and his followers. . .

. . . Does that sound like rhetorical flourishes, or are they deadly serious about fighting this “threat to the rule of law,” the “threat to our democracy,” and the “dagger pointed at the throat of American democracy?"

So, what happens next? Given who and what these people are as well as what the FBI/DOJ/CIA complex is capable of — everything from the Russiagate hoax to the Whitmer kidnapping "plot" to the J-6 "insurrection" to 30 years ago at a place called Ruby Ridge — you have got to believe that a false flag is being ginned up deep in the bowels of the Hoover Building or in Langley and that we'll be EcomCon'd before the midterms.

Daniel Greenfield nails it:

2020 was a unique time when the country was either shut down or in the middle of race riots, caught in a massive crime wave and catastrophic panic. People were encouraged to turn on each other over racism or masks. The aftermath of the election had Biden being sworn into office while surrounded by thousands of troops in a militarized city. Biden’s only hope for being more than a one-term footnote is to break the country just as badly all over again.

This is the beginning.

Contrary to media propaganda, there’s no economic comeback. The policy victories are destructive, but limited. Biden’s comeback consists of openly going to war on Republicans. From the Mar-a-Lago raid to denouncing half the country as “semi-fascists” and threatening them with F-15s, Biden is using the rhetoric of civil war to stay in power.

Biden, a corrupt senile nothing, has clung to various forms of government power since 1971 because it paid better than managing a swimming pool. Even barely able to assemble a sentence, he’s not about to abandon that 50-year legacy without a fight. Unable and unwilling to save America, he’s ready to destroy it and unleash a civil war if it will keep him in power.

History makes us think of dictators as big men, but they were often little men in big costumes. Their hunger for power came from inferiority complexes, chips on their shoulders, and a creeping sense of inadequacy. The only reason people stopped thinking of them as comical is because they wielded absolute power and unleashed a bloody tide of destruction.

And then no one was laughing anymore.

The difference between pathetic and evil lies in the successful use of power. School shooters are pathetic until they manage to kill a dozen kids. The underwear bomber was a joke, but if he had taken down a passenger jet, no one would be laughing. People have been laughing at Biden his entire life. And his inflated ego is tired of it. He may not have much of a brain left, but when you’re already the president, you don’t need much of one to destroy America.

43 Sorry JJ, but we didn't lose in Vietnam. At 0001am on January 1st, 1973 the Paris Peace Accords took effect and we withdrew all our forces over the next 4 months leaving behind only the troops necessary to protect the Embassy. At that point it became a South Vietnamese war only, and it wasn't until 1975 that General Giap and the North Vietnamese again attacked the South finally taking it. By that time we had been gone military wise for 2 years except for the Embassy. As for the fact that the VC held us off, yes they did time and again, but not for long, however by the time 1971, 72 and 73 had rolled around, we weren't fighting the VC anymore anyway, but the NVA( North Vietnamese Army ). This was evidenced by the fact that the Spring Offensive of 1972 was basically an NVA operation, one which we halted driving the NVA back to North Vietnam, hence General Giap waiting until 1975 to attack the south when all the American troops had been gone. Sure we lost some battles in Vietnam, but not the ones that counted, and we damn sure didn't lose the war militarily.

60 From Daniel Greenfield:
Biden, a corrupt senile nothing, has clung to various forms of government power since 1971 because it paid better than managing a swimming pool. Even barely able to assemble a sentence, he’s not about to abandon that 50-year legacy without a fight. Unable and unwilling to save America, he’s ready to destroy it and unleash a civil war if it will keep him in power.

Downing Street’s resident mouser would have to stage quite the coup to pip frontrunner Liz Truss to the keys to his home tomorrow, but that hasn’t stopped his fans from putting up ‘Larry for leader’ billboards.

It is unclear if the mischievous tabby – often seen chasing pigeons and entertaining the press pack near Number 10 – is on board with the campaign, but his unofficial Twitter account branded it a dream come true.

Twitter users were also delighted to see the billboards pop up across London announcing that he has thrown his collar into the ring.||

Hence why we developed strategies to deal with that after Korea. There were very good options to any potential Chinese involvement, but the people in charge lacked the courage to carry them out. By the way, this is part of the reason to this day there are some on both political and military circles who continue to believe in fighting "contained" conflicts. That is frankly antithetical to the very premise of war. You fight to win. Period.

The media and the Democrats (BIRM) really, really don't want either Trump or his supporters asserting that the election was rigged. This is the 'clear and present danger' that JJS is highlighting. If it turns out that it really sticks with the LIV public that the Biden Administration was illegitimately installed (narrator: it was), then it can expose the entire world order to assault - we'll start asking other questions. If Biden was installed, why did he use C-19 as a pretext to 'fix' the elections? Why was C-19 elevated to 'pandemic' status? Did Five Eyes really conspire to make Russion Collusion a thing?

Logic would follow that Trump is exactly the person they'd want to run against. One more presidential cycle and they'd have "the transformation" of America just about wrapped up. Easy, let Trump run and lose badly. But of course, they know he won and would likely win again. It's the only thing that makes sense when looking through the lens.

Unfortunately, what are labor unions today? Public-sector ones have five times the membership as private-sector ones.

103 92 I've been wondering. If Trump got so soundly beaten by President 81 Million Votes, why are Democrats trying so hard to prevent him from running again? Logic would follow that Trump is exactly the person they'd want to run against. One more presidential cycle and they'd have "the transformation" of America just about wrapped up. Easy, let Trump run and lose badly. But of course, they know he won and would likely win again. It's the only thing that makes sense when looking through the lens.

Traditionally, major legislative initiatives required sweeping majorities to implement them - otherwise they could be rolled back with a change of power.

What we are seeing globally is minority governments (often coalitions) with razor-thin margins doing things no normal majority would dream of. Why?

Because they know they will lose power, likely for a long time, so they are trying to 'fortify' their control by declaring the opposition illegitimate. Sadly, the very institutions they are attacking are what is sustaining them. Germany, for example, has never dissolved a sitting parliament under the current constitution. It carries heavy associations with Weimar, so even though the SDP has approval in the low teens, no snap election will be called.

Same everywhere else. The crucial different between the US and everyone else is our federal system permits strong nodes of power outside the capital.

In fact, it's going to be very difficult to steal all the downballot races which will be necessary to hold those statewide offices. Thus the effort to frame the country as being in crisis.

Liberals are incapable of understanding conservatives and typically project a distorted form of themselves onto them, known as mirror imaging.

They are typically physical cowards but also emotionally unstable, thus they think anyone who has a gun will go on a killing rampage because that is what they would do. They also think that simply parking a tank in the town square will scare people into compliance.

This is a considerable weakness, but it also can lead to gross miscalculations.

Yes kinetically operating your opposition of MAGA candidates that are swept in this November into handcuffs since they are the greatest threat to the security of this nation.
If MAGA Repubs take control, that would definitely be a "flashpoint".

A lot of the rhetoric you hear from the left is echoed by Cheney and, let's be honest, quite a few of the rank and file GOP as well.

We seem to be in a stupid but interesting time.

American business and the stock market always come back after Labor Day, the "last day of summer vacation".

And before them lay two stark choices:

1) do they prop up the stock market artificially so that Biden can't a win with "his economic plan" and not lose both house and senate but squeak through? And then once the Dims win, let the bottom drop out to reflect the reality of Bidenomics, but politically, business and the stock market win.
or
2) Let the chips fall where they may economically, cuz that's the financially smart and responsible move. But, the subsequent fall of the market scares the hell out of everyone and and the Dims lose YUGEly. So, big political loss but economically they flourish. Esp. if the Reps can keep Biden from destroying more of the economy.

It didn't have to be this way, but it is. Now what?

Actually, if we are talking Constantine, ... Constantius(?) did the 'Massacre of the Princes' right after Constantine's death that got a LOT of them, then they fought it out.

Hell, Constantine actually killed the only one who was worth a damn, Crispus. Possibly because of a plot to frame Crispus by Constantine's wife, Fausta(?) Crispus was by a different lady. Then/because of that, Constantine got rid of Fausta when he found out her deception.

Consider this; many of the "Olde Guard" on both sides of the aisle are closer to death than retirement.

The problem is implementation. How do you do it? Not only are there armed citizens, but also state and local law enforcement who may not be hip with the whole thing.

So there you have another flash point - a national decree is given and then ignored in various areas. How then can it be enforced, and by whom?

252 They could make gas alot cheaper by simply having one standard instead of winter and summer blend.

There is a very good reason why there are winter vs summer blends. What you may be complaining about is the regional boutique blends that are mandated by fussy governments.

Putin is literally selling half as much natural gas to Europe and pulling in twice as much money for it than before the invasion. Russia is rolling in money right now.

But, of course, it's the major advantage of being a small guy in the stock market world.

However, corporations and Our Betters have proven perfectly willing to cripple their companies with woke nonsense and ESG.

I just wonder how far they're willing to go in their virtue signaling and for their political preferences.

We're about to see.

It's an observation. Why personalize?

What percentage of Americans who own guns do you think will pick them up and use them against government officials?

Of course a lot depends on deteriorating conditions. As of now, I would say a negligible percentage.

256 So it's clear the Democrat strategy for the midterms is to put Trump on the ballot.
They already know the right is motivated, what they fear is they are not getting the "steal level" support from their base.

They know that Trump motivates their base to vote-- they don't need them to win, they need them as cover to launder the fraudulent votes.
"They can't cheat if it isn't close." 2020 revealed that "close" is a lot bigger than we thought.

257 If they're determined to put us in camps, our guns won't stop them. It may even incentivize them.

It will stop a lot of them. Give pause to a certain percentage of them who come to take people away.

Should the day come when they start putting people in camps, there will be no winners. And God will weep.

It's almost funny, the program is successful and so the MSM has been trying to ignore it - but now that Groot, Adams, and Bowser are bleating about it constantly they can't ignore it.

I supported those wars, as did almost all of us here. And now I realize that the only true purpose of them was to line the pockets of the deep state. That's why the they wanted them to go on, and on, and on. (but you know that)

262 @251 Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd-Its pretty simple to implement and enforce. They do not need to go around confiscating guns at first. A large portion of us will voluntarily turn them in when we are denied "services" necessary for our survival. It's called Social Credit. It will be enforced when you go to the grocery store, it will be enforced when you go get medical services, it will be enforced when you go to register your vehicle.

You want this service? Well it says here you are the owner of this amount of firearms. If you want this service you must turn one of or all of them in. It'll go something along the lines of that. We will turn our guns in. What people resist and maybe go "kinetic" will be hauled of or shot down.
People that think we're going to have some sort of shootout over this shit are high.

264 Lewis has been a radio and text contributor in my Minnesocold for decades and they don't come any smarter.

"No president in American history has been subjected to more vile, underhanded and outright illegal attacks. For that reason alone, President Trump cannot be unconstitutionally driven from public life. For if he is, it won’t matter who succeeds him."

Exactly. It really will not matter.

'They', the UniParty establishment, is treating us as conquered people; they stole his/our election keeping us out of our own electoral process and are jailing us for dissent while sicking federal employees on us.

Trump understands economic security IS national security and he proved it. We are only now reaping the rewards of cutting the corporate tax rate from the highest in the world to 21%. I am personally moving parts from locked down China back to the US... as a cost savings.

This is happening all across the country, and what as come to light is merely a microcosm of the evil these folks get away with.

Russia is selling oil that was going to be sold to Europe... to China. China is buying it at a discount from Russia and turning around and selling it at a higher price to Europe.

So Europe is buying Russian oil at a higher price from China. So Europe is not punishing Putin at all by not purchasing oil directly from Russia, but instead getting the same oil at a higher cost to themselves and providing a higher profit to China. Europe suffers, while China and Russia profit.
