The Morning Report — 6/12/23

Good morning kids. The more I look around at the state of the nation the more I feel the weight of the supreme irony that when the Iron Curtain fell, it evidently landed on top of us. Along with the curtain rods, lath and plaster and half of the damn wall itself. Perhaps more alarmingly is coming to the realization of an even greater irony, in that if we do not stop the trajectory we are on and throw this thing into reverse, the inheritors of the freest society in history are destined to become perhaps history's worst tyrants. The events of last Friday, on top of everything we have seen for at least the past three years is proof positive. But there are other things afoot that merely bolster my assertion that are flying under the radar and are equally alarming in their implications. And I don't mean the bullshit psy-op "Squirrel!" distraction of supposed UFO coverups either (NB: the article is from the NY Post so I've taken the liberty of just pasting it virtually in its entirety without a link. I'm sure the Murdochs won't mind).

If you own a business, the leftists in Congress are coming for you. The only thing standing in their way is the US Constitution. Whether you own a mom-and-pop diner, an auto-repair shop or shares in a multinational corporation, your property is at risk. The Constitution’s “takings clause” was designed to protect us from government grabbing our property without paying fairly for it. But last year, Democrats rammed through the Inflation Reduction Act, boasting it would enable Medicare to “negotiate” lower prices for medications for seniors.

“Negotiate” is a lie. Under the new law, the feds can strong-arm companies to sell their most popular medications at a price Uncle Sam dictates or be taxed out of existence in a matter of weeks.The pharmaceutical giant Merck sued last week, claiming the law violates its constitutional rights.  Amen. This lawsuit is a red flag for everyone in America who owns anything or hopes to. The law’s actual language is breathtakingly coercive, but let’s face it, most members of Congress don’t bother to read bills before voting on them.

It says any company that refuses to sell at the government’s price will be hit with a tax that starts at 186% of the drug’s revenues on Day 1 and is hiked daily until it reaches a ruinous 1,900% of revenues — not just from government sales but all sales. That would mean hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes per day. The company has no escape. The law Merck is challenging is far more dictatorial than price controls in socialist-leaning European countries, which allow drug companies to decline to sell at the government price. 

Merck explains it “will be legally compelled to sell its most valuable products for a fraction of their value, on pain of yet more draconian penalties. This is not ‘negotiation.’ It is tantamount to extortion.” The law also gags the company from disclosing what Medicare officials say about price “negotiations” behind closed doors. Worse, it requires the company to publicly call the price rammed down its throat “fair.”  Is this even America? Congress limits free speech and requires companies to state things they don’t believe. Merck’s lawsuit objects, “Our Constitution does not countenance compelled speech in service of state propaganda. Congress needs a refresher course on the Constitution. The Fifth Amendment bars the government from taking your property without just compensation. And the First Amendment prohibits the government from forcing you to say something against your will. These are the bases of Merck’s lawsuit.

The law being challenged is exactly what you’d find in George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” a novel depicting socialist despotism. The government dictates the price for your product but calls it a “negotiation.”  If you refuse, your business is taxed to death overnight. You are gagged from disclosing what is happening and forced to declare the price “fair.” If Merck’s lawsuit fails, who are the next victims?

Automakers could be forced to sell cars for the federal fleet for $10,000 a piece instead of a fair price. What about bed sheets for the Army, airplane parts for the Air Force or restaurant meals for government employees? Merck’s lawsuit raises only constitutional issues, but Americans also need to know that price controls on pharmaceuticals could be dangerous to their health. In countries that cap prices, people have reduced access to new drugs. Patients in France get only half the new treatments US patients get, according to University of Chicago economist Tomas Philipson. Last week, the American Society of Clinical Oncology announced a treatment — osimertinib — that improves survival by 51% for lung-cancer patients who have had surgery and face a recurrence. As a survivor myself, I cut out the article and put it in my desk drawer, hoping I won’t need it but glad it’s a possibility. Many politicians think vilifying drug companies is good politics. They ignore the devastating impact of price controls on the pipeline for future cures.

This is a legitimate policy debate. But obeying the US Constitution is not optional. Congress members swear an oath to it. Merck’s lawsuit is headed to the Supreme Court.

To the junta, Takings Clause means they use their claws to take whatever the hell they want, and crush you like a bug if you object.

After 17 years of back-and-forth with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the Sandy Hook Water Association’s “public” water system went offline this year. Mounting costs due to DEP regulations and legal headaches led the members to vote to disband, with many forced to instead dig wells or build cisterns to have access to clean water.

The three-letter agency succeeded in snuffing out a lifetime of work for Wingert and the dozens of others who helped provide a small community with clean, natural drinking water for more than half a century.

The Sandy Hook Water Association was established in 1965 by residents in rural southern Pennsylvania, ten or so miles outside the small borough of Chambersburg. The inhabitants discovered a natural spring in the mountainous terrain perched above their community and took it upon themselves to construct a system of pipes and plumbing to carry the spring water down the mountain to their homes below.

The system was 100% natural — no electricity nor pumps, just elevation producing natural water pressure flowing down the mountain. “God put that water there, they have nothing to do with that, that’s not their water,” Wingert said while giving the Daily Caller a tour of the community, referring to the DEP. . .

. . . It wasn’t until 2006 that trouble began for the community. An anonymous tip was sent to the DEP alleging the unregulated spring water system could be a health hazard. To this day, the members of Sandy Hook don’t know for sure who sent in that tip — perhaps it was a genuinely concerned citizen, a vindictive neighbor who wasn’t allowed to join the water system or maybe someone else.

Regardless, that tip led the DEP to sink its claws in and never let go.

“When you’re dealing with DEP there, any way you do it, is their way. And you got to remember with DEP, common sense and what it costs are not in their equation,” Wingert said. “Anytime you take common sense out of an equation, you’re gonna have — you’re gonna have to add a multiplication table for what’s going to cost you. It’s just that simple. We’re talking simple crap here; we’re not talking anything high pitch.”

Meanwhile, in a not unrelated story, while wildfires have set huge tracts of Canadian wilderness on fire and sending smoke blanketing over much of the eastern seaboard, and as news of perhaps the proto-enviro-terrorist Ted "Unabomber" Kaczynski snuffed himself in prison, you have to wonder about the cause of the fires.

Google Earth satellite video is making the rounds on twitter. it shows the moment an arc of fires began in northern Quebec, the smoke rising. It looks like people calculated the prevailing winds so that the smoke would blow south. Then connected via sat phone, they lit them. It’s another psy-op from our gracious overlords. We aren’t afraid enough, despite every nasty limiting idiotic play they have visited upon us in the last four years. Monkey Pox failed, more plague warnings were greeted by a shrug. But this one, the world bursting into flame? Be very very afraid.

Justin Trudeau lost no time in announcing that the fires were from “climate change” and the carbon tax, which is impoverishing everyone not in government or on lush pensions, is just the beginning of the restrictions he must institute or we are all gonna die.

The stupidity and cruelty of this is almost unimaginable. But fires have worked over and over again to terrify people into quiescence. The rumours that they were deliberate were the stuff of fantasy until people started getting arrested. Alberta shows that almost 60 percent of fires in that province are human caused. And in Canada, as of today, we have arrested dozens. They will be released, their bails paid by a high-priced lawyer because most of them act as agents of the hyper-rich, paid through a cascade of environmental NGOs.  The richest people among us are burning the forests in order to force compliance. . .

. . . When I moved back to the country 20 years ago, the movement adopted me because I was writing for the Globe and Mail and Harper’s Magazine. I interviewed hundreds of local activists, the ones who, with the inspiration of RFK, Jr. had shut down the biggest industrial forest in the world in an action called “The War of the Woods.” They were mostly ordinary people, socialists and scientists of one stripe or another and deeply profoundly committed to saving the earth. The fact that they had eliminated the principal source of funding for health care and education -- forestry --  their own in fact, went right over their heads. It didn’t matter. "Climate Change" was an existential threat and those trees must stand to suck up “carbon,” or CO2, as it used to be known. . .

. . . Fires have been used in my region to dissuade development. If you are, for instance, trying to open a resort for the middle class, expect fires. If you are a forester with a section of land, and you are mouthy, expect a fire. Fire serves to shut people up. I am sporadically loud-mouthed in my town, because I know my dog, my house, my trees and my well make me vulnerable if I make too many enviros angry.

Five years ago, Fort McMurray, the home of the oil sands, a titanic achievement, the cleanest oil extraction infrastructure on the planet, burned to the ground in a fire called The Beast. There were reports of fires being set in an arc around the town. Investigations are on-going. During the last election in Alberta, fire patterns were shown to peak at election time, in order to scare people into believing that oil extraction, the engine of their economy, must be shut down.

Further south, the chronicle of eco-terrorism is thick with crime but few suffer prison. Usually it’s slap on the wrist, a "Go with God, noble soul" kind of thing. So, if you’re not caught, why not go big?

Even if no one took a match to all that kindling, the banning of controlled burning by the Canadian government – and it's still banned in California and other parts of the American west IIRC – accomplished the same end, just via different means.

When Molly Ball wrote that frightening report in Time magazine, basically chronicling how elements of government, media and parts of the private sector banded together to actively sabotage the 2020 election and steal it, the self-righteous, elitist attitude of preserving their position as overlords over us peons who dared defy them and vote for a man who sought to strip them of their power and return it to the people, we now see a very similar attitude and acceleration of their masterplan, vis a vis this whole "climate change" hoax as more and more of us around the world recognize it as a "smoke screen," pun definitely intended, to basically enslave much if not all of the 7+ billion inhabitants.

Rising recognition and acceptance of these limitations, along with the success by Western governments in enforcing authoritarian edicts on their populations during the COVID-19 pandemic, is now leading to a rapid evolution in the overarching narrative and talking points related to the energy transition. The former energy transition narrative of “we will scale up renewables and EVs and you won’t even notice the difference in your daily lives” has been transformed to “we will scale everything down and you will just have to live with it” with stunning speed during 2023.

A report titled “The Urban Mobility Scorecard Tool: Benchmarking the Transition to Sustainable Urban Mobility” issued by the World Economic Forum in May is another great example. Based largely upon a 2017 UC Davis report titled “3 Revolutions in Urban Transportation,” the WEF report advocates for authoritarian governments to force the reduction of the numbers of vehicles on the road from the current global estimate of 1.45 billion to just 500 million. The UC Davis report went largely unnoticed in 2017 because the climate alarmist lobby had not been sufficiently emboldened at that time to publicly discuss its real goals. But that mask is now coming off. . .

. . . The real world simply does not conform itself to fantasies like this plan, and everyone at the WEF is fully aware of that reality. Thus, what this plan really amounts to is a scheme to enable the speeding-up of implementation of socialist/authoritarian governments in the West to enforce the new restrictions on the lives of common citizens, an effort that began to accelerate during the COVID pandemic. Authoritarian governments always endeavor to restrict the free flow of information outside of approved propaganda, and restricting mobility is a key means of achieving that goal.

Funny how everyone is in a tizzy about New Yorkers suffering because of "climate change" smoke over the city while when the ideologically-driven incompetence of rodentine assholes like Mayor Peter-Puffer Buttocks and diversity hire EPA honcho Michael Regan made a derailment of chemical tank cars in East Palestine, OH an ecological disaster area by intentionally setting the spilled contents on fire, their propagandists declared, meh, "it's hardcore Trump country." Translation, FOAD.

But first you will hand over your freedom and your money.

"The three main threats that he repeated over and over was, 'I'm going to kill you,' 'I'm prepared to go to jail for life,' and 'I'm willing to die' [...] I was scared for myself, but I looked around, I saw women and children. He was yelling in their faces, saying these threats," Penny said.

16 Eric Holder opened his corrupt yap over the weekend, to talk about their Trump persecution. Holder says he will be convicted of whatever charges they schemed up, and the next Democrat Congress will use the conviction to impeach him yet again, and Holder expects enough Romneys will be found to convict him in the Senate. Presto! No more Trump; and he retires, pardoned but disgraced. That's their plan.

Seems like a lot of work, as compared to just stealing another election, but what do I know.

60 The possibilities certainly are endless, but it doesn’t have to be Trump enacting the revenge. It’s not hard to imagine another Republican president turning the tables on the Democrats, not necessarily to avenge Trump but to make the Democrats pay for weaponizing the federal government. It would serve the Democrats right, even if it’s a bad precedent to set.

82 Merck explains it “will be legally compelled to sell its most valuable products for a fraction of their value, on pain of yet more draconian penalties. This is not ‘negotiation.’ It is tantamount to extortion.”
++++
Merck can't have its cake and eat it, too anymore than any other organization or person can. This is how national health systems work. They are predicated on extortion. They sell at a lower price in, say, India because if they don't, the Indians will break their patents. Our approach is different but it's a spiritual brother of what the foreigners do.

These are the fruits of state control of industry. The medical industry has been pushing for more and more state control for at least 40 years. There has never an anti-competitive, anti-market, anti-patient measure that the medical industry hasn't embraced. From price opacity to disparate pricing to CON laws to other parts of the regulatory regime, they have pushed for more. Meanwhile, medical care has gone from less than 10% of GDP to almost 20%. It's bleeding the economy - and the federal budget - white. Something has to give, and they've ruled out a return to the market. So extortion it is. And pain for all.

Twenty-twenty is in our past and shenanigans kinda, sorta, maybe happened but, uh no, your guy just lost so move on. They have also predicted that their candidate may have to beat the leftist candidate by ooooh, a 10% margin. That's the guesstimate of fraud that the left will kinda, sorta, maybe commit I guess.

Ballot harvesting, not to worry there either. I'm sure that'll be a well supported, well oiled juggernaut given the Republicans overwhelming desire to win elections.......especially when the candidate is a non-globalist, dyed in the wool MAGA type conservative.

They can't answer that, because the answer is far too enraging. Why are those drugs so much cheaper in other places? Simple: extortion.

"Other countries have government-run medical systems, and they use coercive state power to set non-market prices. The difference has to come from somewhere, and we've decided that the difference will come from the American customers. You have to pay much higher prices to offset foreign extortion. This is also why we banned drug reimportation. Sure, we *could* have used policy measures like trade, foreign aid and whatnot to push for a level playing field, but we didn't. So shut and pay. Subsidize the rest of the world until you broke, then we'll subsidize you until you go broke. Then we're all broke together. It's fair that way."

145 The stuff about "precedent" is even funnier. They may not have noticed that "precedent" is all the way out the fucking window. Democrats certainly aren't guided by any of it.

We can't make it if we don't get out of Fairy Land. And our commentariat is still in Fairy Land and has no intention of moving. It's bizarre but I think it's mostly propaganda. No one could possibly earnestly believe this crap.

LSD and other psychedelics were only part of the process. The other part was harsh interrogation designed to destroy a person's worldview and replace it with another.

>>Fires have been used in my region to dissuade development.

In Colorado we're still dealing with the aftermath of the 2021 Marshall fire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Fire).
This area was only recently developed because it's been known for many years that the coal seams below ground are burning. Yet someone eventually got paid off to allow housing developments there, and then one windy winter day most of it burned down.

Naturally, they couldn't identify the obvious cause, so last week, 1 1/2 years later, they've decided to blame Xcel energy (which was ruled out almost immediately at the time) and a religious group who was burning stuff a week before (which means the fire department, since it was they who came on their property and put it out).

We are really, truly corrupt from top to bottom in this country.

196 They pulled out all the stops in the early 50s, at one point the CIA wanted to purchase the entire world supply of acid, in order to keep it out of the hands of the Soviets.

Prisoners, military, and academia were the preferred test beds. As well as the CIA itself. For several years, getting dosed unwittingly with acid at work was a well known occupational hazard for CIA personnel. You were the observer, behind a one way mirror say, at a secret hotel room with people totally unaware they were dosed with high octane psychedelics. You were supposed to be taking notes. Then they dosed the people supposedly running the program.

235 Robert Hunter was a participant, as well as Ken Kesey, in the L.S.D. testing.

Stanley Owsley was kind of a strange cat. Before it was made illegal, the precursors could be ordered easily through chemical supply houses. Ergotomine tartrate. Owsley was famously anti-vegetarian, he thought eating plants was unhealthy.

He stockpiled the chemicals in bank safe deposit boxes under assumed names in anticipation of legislation outlawing acid. At one point a huge cache of ergotomine was unavailable because he couldn’t remember the name he’d used to open the bank box. He resorted to a seance to try and divine the name.

After Owsley, the big (millions of doses) was something called Orange Sunshine, distributed through an organization called the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. Very shadowy organization, with ties to organized crime. One of their members was Ronald Stark, considered by Interpol and others as some sort of spook or someone with state level ties. Not much is known about him, other than an ability to procure industrial levels of powerful chemicals.

What's really horrifying is that for years now all the drugs have been manufactured in India, using materials from China. As a country, we have little control over our pharmaceuticals already.

Further, these companies have managed to partner with caregivers to get most of America hooked on one of their products - anti-depressants, ritalin, a ridiculous number of childhood vaccines, birth control, trannie hormone treatments, opioids, etc..

281 Why didn't Trump turn over the documents when they were requested?

He was waiting for the right offer for some of the information and that was why the shell game (boxes, what boxes, we ain't got no boxes). After the shell game was played he probably got busy and sold the most important shit.

He said it before. The government paid Nixon 18 million dollars to get his documents back. TFG was waiting for an offer to sell the documents back to the government.

Nixon told us that if the President does it, it's not illegal.[/ ] He and his adherents have convinced themselves it's true.

He's an idiotcrazy, but that's not much defense. I think trump planned on selling stuff from the WH to collectors. I’d think even an original morning briefing could bring thousands of dollars, much more if autographed by trump. Hell, some of his rube supporters would covet used toilet paper.

He was probably even considering numbered prints. But the taking of war plans, etc., probably for sale to interested parties, ought to be punishable to limit, even if death by firing squad.

It looks to me in hindsight, the extensive testing in mind control and ability to change attitudes in the 1950s thru chemical coercion, hypnosis, etc, in academic, military, or prison systems gave way to mainstreaming. By the 1960s drug abuse was out of control.

The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, the Beatles et al as government sponsored “change agents”?

Hollywood abuse syndrome.
Not saying she's blameless, but we've seen these young actresses go nuts again and again (Britney, Linsday Lohan, Amanda Bines, etc.). Broken people.

I look at what she's doing to her three sons an I think: she hates men so much (and possibly her ex-husband so much) she is erasing all masculinity from her sons. It's twisted AF.

Pennsylvania has also passed a law that has small multi-party water systems being bought up by a national conglomerate operating in over 2 dozen states. The main target .. systems built by developers (which are responsible for the first 10 years) that have begun to fail. Typically, rates go up 40% after the acquisition.

I would argue that only 20% of those making up a total of each 3rd actually see where we are headed. There might be more but those others are the ones too distracted by something shiny in a societal corner to really take notice. And then you have the party that we used to refer to as "the good guys," the Republicans who foolishly have this notion that one election win [if they are allowed to have it] will magically make everything right again. Meh, most likely the majority of them are in on it as well, if only to keep their cushy beltway lives. Why else would they be such willing participants in the schemes to destroy their own party's leader?

384 The blackout by Reddit moderators comes after the 18-year-old social media and news aggregation website revealed new expensive API pricing changes. These new charges will put some third-party Reddit apps out of business.

Business Insider spoke with Reddit app Apollo, who said the new pricing would mean his company would incur a $20 million charge per year. He said Apollo would be shuttering operations later this month.

FEAR. Plain and simple.

“You can't outrun a bear!” “I don't have to outrun the bear,” said the second friend. “I only have to outrun you.”

391 "The pro-transgender political display prompted many complaints that he disrespected the nation’s flag, which is the primary symbol of the nation’s solidarity with its ordinary citizens."

Joe Biden Centers Trangenderism Flag on White House

Joe Biden did not do this. He has been barely functional since the summer of 2020. The decision to center the "transgenderism" flag was made by Obama, Obama people or Deep State people who have actually been in control of the Administration since January 2021.

Anyone who thinks Biden has been making any decisions for the past 2+ years is ridiculously naive.

393 "Sandy Hook...don’t know for sure who sent in that tip..."

*Wildly waves hand in air* I know!! I know!!

Ahem: So what happened as a result of the "tip"? Who then swarmed into town and benefited from shutting off the water?

Lemme think...gimme a minit...The Government?
The tipster: a paid shill, a mole, an 'asset'?

Lawyers, politicians, Big Business interests, maybe China's real estate representative look-outs lining up to 'stick it' to those whose taxes must pay it both ways, while the homeowners can do nothing but watch from the side and clench their fists at the bulldozers.

"Hope and Change" got us here, good and hard.

399 I just wonder: who exactly decided to serially prosecute Trump and thus empower him as a martyr, instead of letting him alone and trusting that he would step on his own tongue and lose out to a more defeat-able nominee?!
I suspect someone who knew that there were terrible secrets that had to be hidden, and was willing to risk any consequence, no matter how terrible, to any number of innocents including those of the whole country, in order to do so.
Answer: the Clintons. They put America in deadly peril by selling our ICBM technology to the Chinese for campaign cash many years ago, and have likely only learned to be more brazen since. Look how they have been able to marshal the entire force of US law against the one person who was shown able to thwart them!

More than $15k can be earned online by performing straightforward tasks from home. In the previous month, I got $18376. Even a young child may do this job and make money because it is so simple to complete and has higher pay than typical office occupations. Everyone needs to try this task by using the information on this page. https://Getmoney012.blogspot.com
