The Morning Report — 10/18/22

Good morning kids. Tuesday and probably one of the last items I thought I would extract a quote from is this Hither & Yon story about Holocaust hero Peter Bergson in Frontpage Mag, viz:

Irritated by Bergson’s campaigns, the Roosevelt administration sent the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service to squash him. Although they were pursuing evidence of criminal wrongdoing, it is clear that political motives were the impetus.

Gee, nearly 80 years later and doesn't that ring a bell? It's quite a good read in its own right but I just had to include that line. At the same website, another fine link featured a quote (highlighted below) which, if you read my post yesterday, underscored my disgust at our current state of affairs:

The recent arrest of Eugene Yu, the founder and CEO of election software company, Konnech, Inc. for betraying Los Angeles, the largest metropolitan area in America, charged with transferring election poll worker information to China is just the tip of the iceberg of CCP subversion efforts to destroy the United States. This arrest of Yu on the grounds of a security breach with China and on charges of embezzling funds—is a wakeup call for all polling place administrators in the U.S. regarding the upcoming mid-term elections. They need to unplug and shutdown Konnech, Dominion, ES&S and other electronic voting systems. All have been plagued with erratic vote count problems and are vulnerable to being hacked and manipulated.
Konnech’s “Poll Chief” software, designed to manage election-worker payroll, assignments, communications, and “innovative ways to support their voters” has been used in Wayne County, Michigan, DeKalb County, Ga., and Fairfax County, Va.—all large voting districts that have had significant voting irregularities. On November 3, 2020, Trump was leading in Virginia, until late-night ballot drops in Fairfax County delivered a whopping 73% of Biden votes—an unprecedented voting pattern.The Konnech scandal has been initially suppressed by an assumption that it was a limited breach of personal data of election workers in one location in the U.S. But in Australia and Canada, where Konnech operates through subsidiaries, the company has been involved in electoral roll data, voter I.D. confirmation, the scrutiny of provisional and postal votes and access to defined elector records. This appears related to why both of those countries experienced election irregularities and veered to the left politically. Governing authorities that gained power in Australia and Canada during the period that Konnech was involved in managing elections ended up embracing communist-type policies, such as forcing citizens into quarantine camps and cutting off people’s access to their bank accounts.
We are reminded of the adage of the communist tyrant Stalin who said, “It doesn’t matter how many people vote, only who counts the vote”. . .
. . . If we fail to mobilize overwhelming numbers to exercise the right and duty to cast ballots for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, our children may never have that right again.

On the one hand, of course I agree with this statement. BUT, from a moral standpoint it is so absolutely hateful to me insofar as if “our best answer” is to turn out in droves not because individually it's our patriotic duty to vote but because we have to do so in order to overcome institutionalized Democrat-Leftist electoral fraud — that is, to accept that the voting system in America is as bad or worse than any third world banana republic — then it really is lights out for this country.

Meh, taken in concert with the quote about the FBI and FDR, maybe it is lights out for this country already and we just don't realize it or perhaps refuse to realize it. Meh-meh, I'm repeating myself from yesterday. I don't mean to be a downer, but just a realist. Everything that is happening both here and around the world both scares the shit out of me while, oddly enough, gives me hope for the future. More and more people see what is happening as well as who is responsible for it. Granted, the cultural and societal differences between us and European or Asian countries are wide, but the global movement to herd us all into a gulag or, worse, a slaughterhouse is something that people are and God-willing will rally around. Anecdotally, the potential for an under-the-radar ousting of the hideous Da Nang Dickweed Blumenthal even in Connecticut, while nearly too delicious to contemplate, nevertheless does underscore my assertion about people everywhere fed up.

Closer to home, the celeriac-in-chief's thuggish behavior is not just aimed at the citizenry who oppose him and his puppet masters at Kalorama Kommie Kontrol, he's leaning on leaders both foreign and domestic who refuse to dance to their tune as well.

For decades, ever since President Roosevelt talked with King Saud on the USS Quincy on Feb. 14,1945, the United States has labored under the delusion that the primitive kingdom, in thrall to Wahhabi Islam and largely owned by a single family, was our loyal ally. This fiction was maintained because we didn’t want to look too closely into the nature of Saudi society, and didn’t want to find out about the Saudi effort to spread a particularly malignant form of Islam throughout the world. All we cared about were the colossal deposits of oil that American geologists found in the Kingdom, and that we, along with the rest of the Western world, relied on for much of our energy. . .
. . .Fast forward to today and the war in Ukraine, which has taken much of Russian oil and gas off the market. The price of oil, and of gasoline, has skyrocketed. Biden knows that if the price of gasoline at the pump does not soon decrease, this could spell disaster for the Democrats at the midterm elections. So he has been trying for months to persuade the Saudis not to cut production at the October meeting of OPEC+. He failed. Instead the Saudis, and the greatly increase the cost of heating oil and, especially, gasoline.
Biden feels personally betrayed by the Saudis, which seems strange, since it was he who proudly proclaimed that he would treat the country as a “pariah.” Some commentators seem to think that Saudi Arabia has decided to form a geopolitical alliance with Russia, to replace the Saudi-American one that the Saudis have lost faith in, given the ballyhooed American “pivot” away from the Middle East to East Asia. I see no signs of this supposed alliance. The Saudis made a perfectly rational decision to maximize their profits from the sale of oil. And that’s what the Russians, and 20-odd other oil producers, also did. That’s all that they, and the Russians, and the other members of OPEC+, were after: more money. American capitalists ought to be able to understand that.
Biden’s “re-evaluation” of the American relationship with Saudi Arabia is reported on here: “Biden reevaluating US relationship with Saudis after OPEC decision,” by Omri Nahmias, Reuters,

October 11, 2022:
President Joe Biden is re-evaluating the US relationship with Saudi Arabia after OPEC+ announced last week that it would cut oil production, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said on Tuesday.
. . .Biden has had his anti-Saudi fit, and now he should relapse into studied silence. Let the cooler heads among his handlers prevail. There’s a lot of money at stake, and the U.S. is in no condition to let already agreed upon weapons sales of $350 billion be canceled by an angry Crown Prince, or to let itself be locked out of a trillion-dollar market for building Saudi infrastructure. We don’t have to “reevaluate” our relations with Saudi Arabia. It’s a despotism. It’s a nasty place. The Crown Prince is most unpleasant. Its only claim on the world’s attention is its oil, and what its oil revenues can buy. But that, I deeply regret having to admit, is more than enough for us to keep relations with the Saudis on an even keel.

So, Biden gets in bed with both the Red-Greens as well as the globalists to destroy the engine of American prosperity, our fossil fuel industry (which thanks to fracking and other technologies means we have arguably one of if not the largest reserves on the planet). In doing so, along with other insane fiscal policies, he's put our economy into a nosedive that will take decades to recover from, if ever. And that, along with open borders, the murder, rape, disfigurement and brainwashing of our children, a national crime wave and every other insane, socialist/leftist/Democrat policy that has never, can never and will never work, is why that party is facing a wipeout at the polls in three weeks. The aforementioned electoral fraud baked into the cake notwithstanding. Knowing that, he now demands the Saudis pump more oil for us, just to keep gas prices down until after November 8th. In the words of his old boss, and the psycho, jug eared, dog-eating commie fuckstick who probably is among the group pulling Biden's strings, that's when Biden will "have more flexibility after the election."

Considering Obama's third term third-time's-a-charm attempt to give Iran the atomic bomb, as well as billions of dollars to prevent them from collapsing before they can use said bomb to wipe out Israel, as well as keep more women in chains at home, the Saudis told Biden to go fuck himself. Well, ally or not, foreign leader or not, "no one fucks with a Biden." Unless of course it's his daughter in the shower with a rubber ducky and a bottle of Prell.

Same deal here in the US, regardless of political affiliation:

The White House pressured the Democratic mayor of El Paso, Texas, to not declare a state of emergency over the city’s migrant crisis due to fear it would make President Biden look bad, The Post has learned.
At least three of the El Paso City Council’s eight members have urged Mayor Oscar Leeser to issue an emergency declaration in response to the thousands of migrants who’ve filled the city’s shelters and are being housed in local hotels, sources familiar with the matter said.
But Leeser admitted during a private phone conversation last month that he’d been directed otherwise by the Biden administration, one of the officials told The [NY] Post.
“He told me the White House asked him not to,” Councilmember Claudia Rodriguez said. . .
. . . US Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), whose district covers rural areas and border towns near El Paso, also said he heard similar accounts from other city officials.
“It is a sleight of hand what the administration is doing — pressuring the local government to not issue a declaration of emergency, to say as if everything is going OK,” he said.
Gonzales also alleged that the White House has done “the same thing in other parts of my district,” which have also seen huge numbers of migrants seeking refuge.

That's the shot. Here's the chaser:

[So-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden's Customs and Border Protection commissioner, an advocate for "sanctuary city" policies, is taking criticism from within the [junta] for being detached from his job, failing to address the country's mounting border crisis, and even falling asleep during meetings, Politico reported Monday.
Chris Magnus, whom Biden nominated in April 2021 to lead CBP, often skips White House meetings on the border, is unfamiliar with CBP's operations, and has failed to coordinate within his agency and across the Biden [junta] to stanch a record influx of illegal migrants, five officials who work with Magnus told Politico.

Considering that erasing our borders and intentionally importing millions of foreigners and making them both citizens and more importantly card-carrying Democrat voters is the actual intended policy of this junta, this Chris Magnus stooge is doing his job to the letter. Oh well, it's kabuki-bukkake theatrics. Someone has to "take the fall" like in a rigged wrestling match, or like in 2012 with the Pee-Air Defecto candidacy.

But thuggery and buggery is the SOP for Biden. The El Paso mayor is not MBS and will keep his yap shut lest he gets an FBI-DOJ engineered entrapment sting to get him out of the way for a more pliable underling.

What a state of affairs, isn't it?

And a couple of weeks ago, the leftard mayor of Grants Pass was harassing petition signature gatherers at the Saturday farmer's market to the point of having the police to become involved.

157 For decades, ever since President Roosevelt talked with King Saud on the USS Quincy on Feb. 14,1945, the United States has labored under the delusion that the primitive kingdom, in thrall to Wahhabi Islam and largely owned by a single family, was our loyal ally. This fiction was maintained because we didn’t want to look too closely into the nature of Saudi society, and didn’t want to find out about the Saudi effort to spread a particularly malignant form of Islam throughout the world.
++++
It was maintained because of deceit and lies, not against the US by Saudi Arabia but against the US population by the US government and press. Saudi Arabia has always been, at best, an ally of convenience. They stole their oil industry from us (their state-owned oil giant is called Saudi Aramco for a reason), they embargo us when they see fit. Their main claim to fame is being less bad than Iran or Yemen and not being as stupid as their neighbors. That's as far as it goes, and as far as it has ever gone.

Robust domestic oil production is the best diplomatic tool when it comes to MidEast policy and SA policy in particular. All the rest is largely just noise.

Much of this depression the world is plunging into can be laid at the feet of the New Green Deal activists.

Inexpensive, reliable energy is Life. The position of the NGD politicians and their enablers is that any reliable cheap energy is evil and absolutely nothing good comes out of using it.

I don't know if it will work. It might, and that's sad, contemptible and infuriating. We're in a recession *now*. Playing jiggery-pokery with the definition to pin it on Republicans - magically, just weeks after they take over the legislature - and try to spin Biden's great oil giveaway (yeah, yeah, I know it's technically auctioned off) as Trump's fault shouldn't have a hope of working but I suspect it might.

Out of curiosity, how is it better for the lawn? Leaves are mildly acidic and block light. If you don't rake for a years in a row, your lawn won't be grass anymore and it will be mostly moss (in my area, anyway). That's fine if that's what you like, but it won't be a traditional "lawn" at that point.

>>I'm so sick of this gaslighting.

As has been noted, our immigration was altered in 65 to explicitly diminish the white population of the US.

Download the 2019 Immigration Yearbook and look at the tables, you will see that the, pre-65, the vast overwhelming majority of our immigration came from Europe and the first world and that post-65, the vast overwhelming majority came from the third and emerging world.

And on our current trajectory, the US will be an Asian-Hispanic majority country in about 25 years.

Case in point, if the Biden Junta's assault on our sovereignty is not stopped, over 12 million illegals, mostly from Mexico and SA will stream over our borders in his Presidential term of 4 years.

That's like adding 12 states roughly the population of Montana in 4 years time.

The blood of the martyr is the seed of the church.

I don't fear death, poverty or enslavement. I'm bound for glory in the kingdom to come. Let them do their worst and let the good Lord say to me at my arrival "Well done, good and faithful servant."

The Constitution is, in the end, yet another document that we hold sacrosanct, but in the end, it's just the words of men that are subject to man' s whimsy and will to power.

As inspired as it is, it's only valuable as long as people en masse agree to the shared delusion of its authority. In the end, however, only the word of the Lord abides. The delusion is shattered and America has been revealed as another modern Babylon, raised up for a period by the Lord to accomplish His purposes, but ultimately scattered for its iniquities and the fact that it is a law unto itself.

377 The Bulwark had a funny article today: The End of the Good Republicans. Say goodnight: The party’s over.

For years we watched the GOP defenestrations: Will Hurd, Jeff Flake, George W. Bush, the memory of John McCain, Paul Ryan, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and any other Republican who stood up to Donald Trump—or even just opposed Trump’s attempted coup. Some fell on their swords. Some were tossed aside involuntarily. The result was the same...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was supposed to be the Good Republican: a fusion candidate and progenitor of the post-Trump future. Now it turns out that he is a despicable human being, a performative culture warrior who uses the levers of government against companies who engage in speech he doesn’t like and treats refugees as pawns in his political troll game. He keeps a keyboard-warrior press secretary who screams “groomer” at anyone who disagrees with her boss. Oh, and he’s campaigning for Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, a committed election denier who not only attended January 6th, but bussed others there as well.

388 >>The indigenous Ukrainians would beg deference on the war against its own part of that statement.

I've yet to hear much from indigenous Ukrainians. Here a lot from Zelensky, more than I hear from Biden, but that's about it.

In any case it's not our war. We've got enough problems of our own.

Versus the Russians that Stalin sent by the train load.
The Ukrainians do not consider them part of their people and They have never attempted to assemilate.

Isn't it the indigenous Ukrainians who are killing Russian Ukrainians in the Donbass since they were shipped in?

If by indigenous you mean the neo-Nazis of the Azov Battalion who were leading the war in the Donbas region then no, haven't heard much from them. In fact, there seem to be a concerted effort to pretend they don't exist.

That region along with Crimea has been a source of contention between Russia and Ukraine for decades. To be honest I don't really care about it when compared to the myriad of issues facing our country. Whether the regions end up with Russia or Ukraine won't make virtually any difference in my life.

You are welcome to make that point, and I won't disagree.

But if that is truly your perspective, apply that to America. Apply that to Australia. Apply that to Canada. Apply that to Hawaii. Apply that to Texas.

Or accept the idea that borders change over time, control of areas change over time, citizenry changes over time, and that territorial control and political perspectives are fluid.

To me, it's intellectually disingenuous to insist in the indigenous autonomy based on historical dates in some situations and not in others. At what point in history shall we place the control of the current nation of Israel?

394 @252. As suggested by another 'ette, there needs to be (many, many) buses of border hopping invitees taken to Bucks County (Doylestown is a lovely area!) for rehousing. And then more to Montgomery County, PA, the regional powerhouse of state civil service, which surely would be happy to rehouse new, potential democrats.

Sliding away from the point there.
Yes, they have been fighting for decades against foreigners forced upon them.

and Bitter Clinger that's my point. Not that borders change but these, as I said, foreigners were forced upon them to overwhelm their cultural identity -
Sound familiar?

My argument is against Straw's statement that they are killing their own. They are not killing their own no more than if we decided to assault those illegals crossing into the US.

Yes, it may be murder but it would not be killing our own.

396 >>My argument is against Straw's statement that they are killing their own. They are not killing their own no more than if we decided to assault those illegals crossing into the US.

But your argument isn't 100% true and it assumes that everyone agrees the Donbas is Ukrainian territory. That has been the source of contention going back to the days of the Soviet Union.

Here's whats not in dispute. There was an attempt to solve this peacefully a few years ago, the Minsk Agreements. Ukraine walked away from them and the tension increased. Then Biden hinted that we would welcome Ukraine into NATO, something he knew would anger Putin and lead to war yet he did it anyway and Zelensky dutifully played along. And here we are.

I do feel bad for some of the Ukrainian citizens much like I feel for any innocent citizens who are the mercy of corrupt governments including us. But I'm sick of these endless wars that never benefit the US and only make us more poor and less safe. Ukraine is not in NATO and we have no obligation to protect them. It's time to focus on the US.

397 And it's a bit different from our border as people could travel freely to Ukraine in the USSR days. Some Russians moved to Ukraine after the fall of the USSR. Do we really have ethnically pure countries?

Flight-tracking software has shown that the FBI jet has taken trips to Atlanta, Georgia twice per month on average since June.

401 Notsothoreau, Stalin shipped Russians to the Ukraine in an attempt to overwhelm and Russify the Ukraine. Ukraine didn't like it then and they still don't like it. (as I understand it, it was done in conjunction with the holodomor)

I am too but the argument is "Ukrainians killing their own" and my contention that they are not.

Per VDH, Germans are the only western peoples who are physically identifiable. Japan and Korea are the only two countries that I know of that are sincerely concerned about ethnic purity. Wait, there's China but who can trust them?

406 The more people who vote, the lower the quality of the outcome. Our country's history is exhibit A. Exhibit B is this post. Imagine praying that gas prices remain painfully high so that mouthbreathers with room temperature IQs will be motivated to vote against the party for whom they normally pull the lever.

Then, get pissed when somebody points that out.
