Biden and Iran Reportedly Agree to Continue Talks and Allow Iran to Sell Its Oil in Global Markets

The Biden/Obama gang’s answer to high gas prices is to allow Iran to sell its oil freely around the world.

With gas prices at record highs recently in the US due to the Biden/Obama gang’s efforts to shut down drilling in the US, the White House has figured out an answer.   They will allow the terrorist nation of Iran to sell their oil on world markets.

You can’t make this stuff up.  Let’s face it, the Biden regime is not working for the American people but it is working for terrorist regimes and China.

Earlier this year the price of gas in the US reached record highs for days in a row.  Recently the prices have come down a bit but still are at record highs.  These costs go straight to the consumers in the US which is one reason why the US is in a recession.

Gas Prices STILL the Highest on Record in US History — But Biden and Democrats Claim They Lowered the Price

The US was energy independent under President Trump and the world’s top producer of oil.  The costs of gas to the consumers were $2 or less per gallon.  This quickly changed when Biden/Obama took over the White House.

The Biden gang claims that they are not responsible for the high gas prices or destroying the US economy but the truth says otherwise.

“Joe Biden and the Democrat Party Are, in Fact, Responsible for Sabotaging Our Economy” – Mark Levin on FOX News

Biden’s answer to record high gas prices is not to help Americans.  It’s not to drill again in the US.  Biden’s answer is to allow Iran to sell its oil freely around the world.  Insanity.

Yesterday, Investing.com reported:

Oil closed down almost $6 a barrel on Tuesday, with global crude benchmark Brent falling beneath key $100 pricing, after a pro-Tehran television station out of London reported that Iran and the United States have reached a deal to revive a nuclear deal that could legitimately put the Islamic Republic’s oil back on the export market.

“Iran and the US have reached an agreement (on revival of JCPOA), and it will be announced in the next two or three weeks,” a former IAEA official told Iran International, according to a news alert monitored by Investing.com.

Brent crude, the London-traded global benchmark for oil, settled down $5.78, or 5.5%, at $99.31 per barrel, after falling more than $6 earlier to a session low of $96.64. Brent closed Monday’s session up almost 4%.

New York-traded West Texas Intermediate crude, the benchmark for US crude, settled down $5.37, or 5.5%, at $91.64 per barrel after a session low was $90.56. Just a day earlier, WTI jumped 4.2%.

Unless WTI experienced a quick bounce-back, it could return to the $88 lows seen in recent weeks, cautioned Sunil Kumar Dixit, a technical chartist for oil and strategist at SKCharting.com.

Kachelman: A NATION’S ERASURE…Where is the USA?

A NATION’S ERASURE…Where is the USA?

Guest post by John L. Kachelman, Jr.

A failed nation is the consequence of the citizen’s complacency. A corrupt nation is the product of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. A nation’s erasure is the Divine’s judgment on the population bowing submissively and surrendering their inalienable rights to a totalitarian group

It is a CHOICE of the citizens.

An undeniable, historical fact is that there is a constant rerun in civilization’s chronicles—nations rise and fall because of the citizen population. Once the citizens resign their individual rights and freedoms, then the nation’s foundations crack and crumble.

It is a CHOICE of the citizens.

When the citizens choose silence over common sense questioning; when the citizens relinquish all choices to the State and render foolish compliance to the inanest mandates; when the body politic is run by authorities viewing themselves as elitists —a nation’s erasure is an absolute consequence. The formula is absolute. IF a nation does ______ THEN national calamity results.

It is a CHOICE of the citizens.

The history of the national rise and fall of World Empires, has a constant factor—the citizens did nothing. They chose to allow the decline of the national conscience and urged the national consciousness to be desensitized. They sat in silence while their nation imploded within from corruption in the highest levels of governing and accepted the fall as the enemy outside completed the nation’s destruction. This is a true fact. It is an absolute fact. It can be denied, but it cannot be evaded. It may be forestalled but its inevitability is certain.

An illustration of this is the lament of an Old Testament prophet who witnessed the fall of the once proud city of Jerusalem. The national demise followed the historic pattern. The national fall was the choice of the citizens! The prophet lamented,

“How lonely sits the city that once had many people! She has become like a widow who was once great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces has become a forced laborer! She has no one to comfort her…All who pursued her have overtaken her in the midst of distress…it is bitter for her…her adversaries have become her masters…her splendor is gone…Is it nothing to all you who pass this way?” (Jeremiah’s Lamentations, The Bible)

The fall was the CHOICE of the citizens. Listen again to the prophet’s heartbreaking query asked to those marching through the ruins of the once great nation, “Is it nothing to all you who pass this way?”

IF the nation’s citizens become complacent, the political leaders become corrupt, and all personal liberties are surrendered to totalitarian mandates, THEN national erasure is assured!

The erasure of Germany. The historic erasure of a great nation from recent time is the failed nation of Germany. The nation’s citizens surrendered to the controlling Politicians and disaster was ignited. The extremism of Germany’s political forces resulted in the nation’s erasure. As one notes, “Germany died with the 2nd World War, that is the tragic truth, and although the German nation continues to exist, what the German people lost with the war goes far beyond the obvious material and human losses.”

The erasure of Russia. Volumes validate the erasure of Russia as a great nation. Once vying for the number one spot of “World Empire,” the national fail has been a historic rerun of this article’s thesis. The amazing fall of the USSR was the product of a number of factors eventually bringing the dissolution. The fragmentation of that one World Power continues today as its Elite Rulers attempt to crush the opposition. If you want a clear illustration of how a Police State functions, look at the current affairs in Russia. The most prominent opposition figure to Vladimir Putin, Alexei Navalny, has been found guilty of fraud and contempt of court. The charges are validated ONLY by the State’s Prosecution and intended only to silence the most vocal opposition. Not surprising is the State’s verdict that such opposition deserves nine-years in prison! The intimidation tactic is well communicated to others thinking of opposition.

The reality of a POLICE STATE persecuting its critics is amply illustrated. Another account of Russia’s far-reaching intimidation is supplied by the mysterious death of a prominent critic of Vladimir Putin in Washington’s West End. This is drawing fury from some of the Kremlin’s best-known global detractors — but scant notice in Washington, where police say they do not suspect foul play was behind Dan Rapoport’s fall from a luxury apartment building on the night of August 14.

The erasure of the United States of America. Our great nation cannot escape the inevitability of the historic constant. The historic constant is undeniable: IF the nation’s citizens become complacent, the political leaders become corrupt, and all personal liberties are surrendered to totalitarian mandates, THEN national erasure is assured!

Numerous articles are available highlighting the national catastrophe about to erupt. This cataclysm has been in the making for decades and in recent years the inevitability has become a juggernaut. As a nation we are rushing pell-mell into oblivion as a “great” nation. Following the script for national erasure, we now see opposition threatened with sham investigations instigated by corrupt POLS and sanctioned by compromised justice. Invasion of private property is justified with manufactured reasoning. There is no objective truth in the accusations. The reality of living in a POLICE STATE that punishes opposition without due process and ignores flagrant crimes, is visible. We are now reaching the point of no-return.

Where are we in the United States of America?

There is hope of rescue. Surely not everyone in the governmental positions are complicit in the evil committed in the name of law and justice. Surely not every law enforcement agent in the Federal, State and Local agencies are compromised. There are those in positions who can step forward and speak out. These have information and can validate the unconstitutional evil seeking to destroy our nation. It is time for these “whistleblowers” to come forward and expose the rampant corruption, illegality, evil schemes and subversive people seeking to undermine our freedom. We implore these to become heroes and save our nation. You have the data! Realize your opportune position.

There is justice being meted. A constant of history is that eventually Justice is meted to the individuals. In fascist Germany, in totalitarian USSR, and throughout civilization this is a never-changing fact. Eventually ALL involved in the national demise and dissolution will be exposed and punished.

So…if you are imbedded in the corruption, NOW is the time to stand up and speak out while you still have the opportunity to save yourself from the disaster coming! We are witnessing a trickle of those brave enough to expose the evil, but we need the trickle to become a flood!

Exposure and justice are inevitable.

The answer is in YOUR hands

A fable from ancient China discusses the wisest man on earth. No one could confuse him. He knew all answers. Two boys decided on a plan to stump the man. One put a small bird (or butterfly) in his hand and put his hands behind his back. They decided to ask the wise man if the bird was alive or dead. Whatever answer was given they would either kill or keep alive the bird and so thwart the wise man’s reply. They approached the wise man, asked the question and was ready to follow the cunning plan. When asked the question the man wisely replied, “The answer is in your hands.”

Citizens of the United States of America…Jeremiah asks you to look at the dissolution of your nation asking yourselves, “Is it nothing to all you who pass this way?” The fable reminds us of the inexcusable fact “The answer is in your hands.”

WHO will step forward and expose the corruption, illegalities and compromises plaguing our nation and fueling its erasure? WHO will have the courage to be a bold heroic figure standing up for the Constitutional principles and against the autocratic Elite who presume a privileged ruling status? “The answer is in YOUR hands”?

Double-Vaccinated Italian Man Dubbed as the World’s First Man to be Diagnosed with COVID-19, Monkeypox, and HIV at the Same Time

Grindr dating app for gay men (Source: World Health Organization)

A 36-year-old man in Italy appeared to be the world’s first confirmed case of being diagnosed with COVID-19, monkeypox, and HIV at the same time, according to a recent case report in the Journal of Infection.

The unidentified man had received two doses of Pfizer’s BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine for COVID-19 last in December 2021 and had contracted COVID-19 the following month.

What does this suggest for the efficacy of the “very safe and very effective experimental vaccine” if the recipient contracts COVID-19, HIV, and monkeypox all at once?

According to the report, the man began to experience symptoms nine days after returning from Spain, where he had unprotected sex with other men.

“Our patient, an Italian 36-year-old male spent 5 days in Spain from 16 to 20 June 2022. Nine days after, he developed fever (up to 39°C), accompanied by sore throat, fatigue, headache and right inguinal lymphadenomegaly,” according to the case report.

“On 2 July he resulted positive for SARS-CoV-2. On the afternoon of the same day, a rash started to develop on his left arm. The following day small, painful vesicles surrounded by an erythematous halo appeared on the torso, lower limbs, face, and glutes.”

“On 5 July, due to a progressive and uninterrupted spread of vesicles that began to evolve into umbilicated pustules, he went to the emergency department of the Policlinico “G. Rodolico – San Marco” University Hospital in Catania, Italy, and was subsequently transferred to the Infectious Diseases Unit,” the report stated.

On July 6, swabs of pustule exudate and nasopharynx secretions were sent to the Regional Reference Laboratory. The specimens were confirmed positive to monkeypox virus.

On the same day, “serology tests for viral hepatitis, herpes simplex, gonorrhoea, chlamydia and lymphogranuloma venereum were negative. However, HIV-1 resulted positive with a viral load of 234,000 copies/mL,” according to the report.

See timeline below:

Timeline of symptoms and skin lesions, from June 20 to July 19, 2022 (Source: Journal of Infection)

According to the study finding, “Our case emphasizes that sexual intercourse could be the predominant way of transmission. Therefore, complete STI screening is recommended after a diagnosis of monkeypox. In fact, our patient tested positive for HIV-1 and, given his preserved CD4+ lymphocyte count, we could assume that the infection was relatively recent. To note, the monkeypox oropharyngeal swab was still positive after 20 days, suggesting that these individuals may still be contagious for several days after clinical remission. Consequently, physicians should encourage appropriate precautions. As this is the only reported case of monkeypox virus, SARS-CoV-2 and HIV co-infection, there is still not enough evidence supporting that this combination may aggravate patient’s condition. Given the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the daily increase of monkeypox cases, healthcare systems must be aware of this eventuality, promoting appropriate diagnostic tests in high-risk subjects, which are essential to containment as there is no widely available treatment or prophylaxis.”

Emergency Declared in Four States After Oil Refinery Fire in Indiana Feared to Disrupt the Supply of Gasoline, Diesel, and Jet Fuel

Bp Whiting Refinery in Indiana (Source: Google Photo)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has temporarily suspended a federal rule for fuel sales in four states, including Indiana, in response to a fire that occurred at an oil refinery in Indiana last week. It is feared that the incident may cause disruptions in both gas pricing and supply, AP reported.

“As part of the Federal Government’s response to a fire and shutdown at the BP Whiting Refinery in Whiting, Indiana, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan today issued an emergency fuel waiver to help alleviate fuel shortages in four states whose supply of gasoline has been impacted by the refinery shutdown,” EPA said in a statement.

“EPA has waived the federal regulations and federally enforceable State Implementation Plan requirements for fuel volatility on gasoline sold in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, to facilitate the supply of fuel in these areas. This waiver will continue through September 15, 2022,” according to EPA’s news release.

Oil & refined products analyst, Patrick De Haan said, “the waiver allows winter gasoline to be sold, and allows more components to be used in gasoline, thereby increasing the amount of available supply. Still no restoration timeline on BP restarting its refinery.”

The devastating fire coincides with the highest gas and diesel prices in US history under Joe Biden.

More from AP:

The emergency waiver was granted Saturday for Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, EPA Administrator Michael Regan said. In a letter to state officials, Regan said the agency determined the waiver is necessary “to minimize or prevent disruption of an adequate supply of gasoline to consumers.”

The waiver lifts a Clear Air Act requirement that lower-volatility gasoline be sold in the states during summer months to limit ozone pollution. It is in effect until Sept. 15, the EPA said.

BP said its refinery in Whiting, Indiana, experienced an electrical fire Wednesday. No one was hurt, and the fire was put out, but it caused a loss of utilities in other parts of the refinery, forcing at least a partial shutdown. The refinery is located along Lake Michigan’s shoreline about 15 miles (24 kilometers) southeast of Chicago, according to the company.

The company said Sunday it is working toward a “phased restart of the refinery,” but no date was given.

Governors in all four states requested the EPA waivers, according to the EPA’s letter. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s office said the refinery provides about 20% to 25% of the gasoline, jet fuel and diesel used by Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois.

BP spokeswoman Christina Audisho said the company was working with local and state agencies and was still assessing when affected units can restart.

Arizona Supreme Court Strikes Down Democrat Dark Money Ballot Initiative To Make CHEATING Easier And Make Post-Election Audits ILLEGAL

The Arizona Supreme court has shot down a proposed ballot initiative that would eliminate basic election integrity measures under the deceptive name “Arizonans for Free and Fair Elections.”

The Democrat-backed dark money ballot initiative officially titled Proposition 210 would have made it even easier for them to cheat by expanding drop boxes and mail-in voting, voter registration to all regardless of their citizenship status, automatic voter registration, and banning post-election audits — like the Arizona Senate’s 2020 Election audit. Under the new law, it would be a class 6 felony to “provide voted ballots to a person” for the purpose of auditing an election.

The Gateway Pundit reported extensively on the Arizona 2020 election audit, which discovered massive election law violations and hundreds of thousands of illegal or fraudulent ballots.

Dinesh D’Souza’s “2000 Mules” documentary exposed even more shocking evidence that the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen with hundreds of thousands of illegally trafficked mail-in votes in Arizona.

It’s no wonder they want to expand dropboxes and mail-in ballots.

The initiative would also restore the Permanent Early Voting List in Arizona, allowing mail-in ballots to be sent each year to people who may not even vote.

The Federalist reported,

Titled Proposition 210, the now-failed ballot initiative had the potential to completely overhaul Arizona’s election laws, several of which the state legislature recently passed. As noted by The Tennessee Star, the 26-page proposal “is very similar to the federal HR 1,” the legislation previously introduced by congressional Democrats that would have resulted in a federal takeover of elections.

Among the proposed changes to Arizona election law were same-day voter registration, a repealing of “Arizona’s ballot harvesting ban,” and “voter registration with minimal identification, such as a pay stub.” Other provisions in the initiative would have disqualified “electors who don’t choose the president selected by Arizona’s presidential election,” eliminated “the 30-day residency requirement in order to vote,” and made it “harder to cancel voter registrations of inactive voters,” among others.

In 2021, the Arizona legislature passed a law that “requires the state to remove infrequent voters from the state’s Permanent Early Voting List, turning it into an ‘active’ early voting list.” GOP Gov. Doug Ducey also signed a bill earlier this year mandating that voters show proof of citizenship in order to vote in federal elections.

The latter has since been the subject of a lawsuit filed against Arizona by the Biden Department of Justice, which referred to the law as an “unnecessary requirement” that “turns the clock back on progress” and “block[s] eligible voters from the registration rolls for certain federal elections.”

According to the Associated Press (AP), the state Supreme Court’s Friday decision “upholds a lower court ruling issued hours earlier, in which Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Mikitish rejected thousands of signatures and said the initiative fell 1,458 signatures short of the 238,000 required to qualify for the ballot.”

“The judge’s Friday ruling reversed his own decision from a day earlier after the Supreme Court asked him to explain how he concluded that the initiative had enough valid signatures to qualify,” the AP report says. “When the judge upheld the measure the day before, [Chief Justice Robert] Brutinel had refused to accept it, saying [the] court was unable to determine exactly how Mikitish came to his determination that backers had collected enough valid signatures for the measure to appear on November’s ballot.”

In response to the high court’s decision, backers of Proposition 210 have issued several outlandish statements on the matter, with the committee backing the initiative going as far as to claim that certain “politicians have been intentionally trying to attack the ballot measure process for over a decade to prevent voters from being able to make decisions about Arizona’s future at the ballot box.”

“Today’s decision is a continuation of these attacks and reflects an increasingly extreme MAGA agenda,” they added.

Efforts to railroad election integrity efforts through state constitution-altering ballot initiatives are hardly exclusive to Arizona. In Michigan, efforts are underway to get an election law-changing proposal on the ballot for the midterm election that would expand the use of ballot drop boxes and provide voters with the “right” to vote by absentee ballot, among several other changes.

AZ Free News also reported,

The ballot initiative is the effort of a Democratic coalition of major players in state and national politics filtered through the Arizona Democracy Resource Center (ADRC) as “ADRC Action.” Although the initiative appears to be a local effort at first glance, there are glimpses into the source of its millions in funds: the massive, national Democratic network of dark money. Arizonans for Free and Fair Elections actually sources back to a national donor network called “Way to Win,” which launched as a direct response to former President Donald Trump’s 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton. They asserted that their over $110 million funneled to states in 2019 flipped Arizona and George blue in the 2020 presidential election. 

Way to Win’s major funding comes from the likes of globalist billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and his family, Stryker Corporation heiress Patricia Stryker, and the prominent dark money D.C. consulting firm Arabella Advisors’ Sixteen Thirty (1630) Fund.

The Soros family has invested personally in Arizona’s elections as well. To date, the family has invested $10,000 in former Maricopa County Recorder and secretary of state candidate Adrian Fontes’ campaign, $10,000 to Democratic attorney general candidate Kris Mayes’ campaign, and $10,600 to Secretary of State Katie Hobbs’ gubernatorial campaign.

According to the latest campaign finance filings, ADRC Action has accumulated well over $7.6 million from in-kind contributions, over $5.5 million of which were from ADRC itself, and expended only $50,000. The second-largest donation came from the Tides Foundation-backed One Arizona, which donated $925,000.

Activate 48 donated $600,000 — they partner with Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA), who donated $500,000 themselves and receives support from the Arabella Advisors 1630 Fund and the National Education Association (NEA); Mi Familia Vota; secretary of state candidate Reginald Bolding’s scandal-ridden, dark money-linked Our Voice Our Vote; and Chispa Arizona. The Education Foundation of America also donated $50,000.

The initiative would also “raise small business taxes to increase political campaign funding, and restore private funding in election administration,” according to AZ Free News.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Maricopa County received $3 million in private funding from Mark Zuckerberg’s Center for Technology and Civic Life to steal the election.

HUGE: Maricopa County Was Given $3 Million of ‘Zuckerbucks’ Before Election But No One Knows Who Received It and What It Was Used For!

Do we need any more evidence that the Democrats are rigging elections?

South African Court: Singing “Kill the Boer!” is Not Hate Speech

EFF supporters sing “Kill the Boer” outside Johannesburg court Thursday

A court in South Africa has ruled that singing „Kill the Boer! Kill the Farmer!“ is not Hate Speech. The civil rights organization AfriForum will appeal the case.

AfriForum had sued the radical Marxist “Economic Freedom Fighters” and their leader Julius Malema, who sing the so-called “Struggle Songs” to stoke racial hatred against white farmers.

The Equality Court in Johannesburg ruled on Thursday, Aug. 25, that singing “Kill the Boer!” is not Hate Speech, because it “deserves to be protected under the rubric of freedom of speech,” ruled Judge Edwin Molahlehi. EFF supporters sang the song outside the court to raise racial tensions.

 

Ernst Roets, Head of Policy and Action at AfriForum, says this ruling creates “a very dangerous precedent. The disturbing message sent with this judgment is that encouraging the gruesome murder of a certain group based on their identity is acceptable and carries no consequences.”

“Today’s ruling proved how the political order in South Africa is becoming radicalised, especially against minorities. A political order where the incitement and romanticization of violence against minorities is sanctioned by the judiciary is not a free, democratic order, but an oppressive order. This case once again confirms that AfriForum must now focus its attention on strengthening and intensifying our safety structures and security training,” said Roets.

In recent years, EFF activists had switched to singing “Kiss the Boer”, to avoid legal culpability. Now they are back to voicing their racial hatred outright.

In his book “Kill the Boer”, Roets shows how farm murders spike after rallies where “Kill the Boer” and other “Struggle Songs” calling for racial violence are sung. Roets will be visiting the United States in September to raise awareness of racial discrimination and violence in South Africa.

In July, AfriForum issued its report “The World Must Know: The continued Persecution of Minority Communities in South Africa since 2020”, which points out that “farm attacks and murders increase in the months following incidents of hate speech that received substantial coverage in the media. For example, in the month after former President Jacob Zuma sang “Shoot the Boer”, 16 farm attacks occurred in which six people were murdered. The result was that farm attacks in the month thereafter were 11% and farm murders 36% higher than the average for 2012.”

 

“After analyzing five incidents of high-profile hate speech directed at white farmers, AfriForum found an average increase in farm murders of 74,8% in the months following these incidents”, the report states.

“Farm murders have become a serious crisis in South Africa,” according to AfriForum, “of which the existence is downplayed by many in government, and that is denied by the President himself. AfriForum, on the other hand, argues that farm murders are a unique phenomenon that deserves a focused counterstrategy by the South African government – for several reasons.”

364 verified farm murders were committed between 2016 and 2020, AfriForum reports,  and 15% of farm murder victims were tortured. An average of 47% of known attackers during farm murders were arrested, but only 33% of the arrested perpetrators were convicted, Roets stated.

According to the most credible numbers provided by the South African Police Service (SAPS), there was an average of 680 farm attacks and 94 farm murders per year over a period of 21 years. This translates to 1.9 farm attacks per day and 1,8 farm murders per week.

“The unique levels of brutality inflicted upon the victims cannot be overstressed”, the report states. “Torturing typically includes excessive stabbing, strangling, severe beating, burning with fire, boiling water, hot irons or melted plastic, gouging out the eyes and raping. Unique methods of torture include dragging victims behind vehicles over dirt roads, torturing with electric drills, or forcing bleach or other poisonous liquids down the victims’ throats. In the financial year of 2016/17, victims were tortured in at least 13 (17,6%) of the 74 farm murders that occurred that year.”

At the 1998 Summit on Rural Safety, former President Nelson Mandela stated that “The government deplores the cold-blooded killings that have been taking place on the farms in the past few years. While killings on farms, like crime in general, have been a feature of South African life in general, the incidents of murder and assault in farming areas have increased dramatically in recent years.”

In 2007, however  the publication of statistics on farm attacks and farm murders was stopped despite a 25% increase in farm attacks in the last year in which statistics were published: according to SAPS data, there were 794 farm attacks in the financial year of 2006/07, up from 636 in 2005/06.

“According to this new policy, farm attacks and farm murders were, despite the sharp increase, officially no longer a priority. Since then, it has become common practice for senior leaders of the ruling ANC party to either deny the existence of farm attacks, to downplay the extend thereof or to justify these attacks by suggesting that farmers deserve it. …  The denial of the crisis of farm attacks culminated in President Cyril Ramaphosa proclaiming to the international media in 2018 that the crisis doesn’t even exist.”

“You Want to Talk About ‘Semi-Fascism’…Look In the Mirror” – Australian TV on Biden Calling Americans “Semi-Fascists”

‘You know what I mean’: Joe Biden’s ‘semi-literate’ response to ‘semi-fascism’ claim.

At least one media channel in Australia is more honest than the US media.

Senile, mean, and corrupt Joe Biden held a ‘rally’ produced by the Democrat establishment to make it look like some people out there really like him.  No doubt the participants were bused in and probably paid.  There were enough participants to fill the pictures and that was about it.

The event was in a small portion of a high school gym with a set to make it look like a Trump rally with tens of thousands of participants.  The sound was louder than the crowd so that appeared to be pumped in too.

During his talk, Biden shared that the people who support and love America and President Trump are “semi-fascists”.

Australia TV addressed this by saying:

This Orwellian claptrap might work with the resistance crowd who still think Russia stole the 2016 Election but sane people would know that fascism is a system of government where opponents and critics are suppressed and attacked.  It’s subordination of individual difference for the supposed good of the nation, including the regimentation of society and the economy.

It’s using the police and other government agencies to come after your opponents.  Sound familiar.

We’ve seen the hopelessly compromised and politicized agencies like the FBI and IRS have become acting as the Democrat’s enforcers.  Then there’s the bulk of the Mainstream Media and the Big Tech platforms which act as the Democrats propaganda arms…

NEVER BEFORE SEEN FOOTAGE Of Police Response To Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Swatting Incident – “100% They Wanted Me To Be MURDERED – Death By Cop” (VIDEO)

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene joined Right Side Broadcasting Network’s Brian Glenn on Saturday evening to talk about the two swatting incidents that sent armed police to her home in the middle of the night, two nights in a row.

Greene showed the AR-15 that she almost took to answer the door saying, “something inside me said don’t take that with you. And that was like a really strong feeling, and I thought twice about it.”

They did this to her because she wants to protect American children and ensure that minors cannot be subjected to chemical castration and other life-changing operations by abusive adults who want to alter their gender.

Thank God she did not bring her weapon to the door as the police were looking for a woman holding a rifle.

As The Gateway Pundit reported — popular conservative Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was swatted Wednesday night at her home just after 1 AM.

Later that night, or early Thursday morning, they swatted her AGAIN!

“Let Me Be Blunt. Let Me Do Some Harvard Business School Math for You – You’re screwed!” – Steve Bannon on Biden’s Coming Economic Nightmare

The working class is suffering under the Biden/Obama regime.  The equity in their homes is expected to decline as house prices begin to plummet.  Their wages cannot cover the devastating inflation rate.

Now the experts are saying that housing prices are going to decrease by 25%.

The map was compiled by Fortune based on data from Moody’s Analytics. The research company found that 183 of the 413 largest regional housing markets in the U.S. are “overvalued” by more than 25 percent. The map shows that some of those significantly overvalued markets include Boise, Idaho, which is overvalued by 71.7 percent, and Flagstaff, Arizona, which is overvalued by 60.6 percent.

Steve Bannon discussed the nightmare for the average American family in the coming months.

Steve Bannon:  Every time you get a paycheck you’re falling behind because of inflation.  Your real wages, sixteen months in a row (now let me think, how long has the Biden Administration been around here – about 18 months).  Every month since they’ve been here real wages are down.

Ok so you’re losing, your treadmill, you’re losing every day in your wages and now the little bit of equity you have in the world, the little bit of net worth you’ve got in the world, the bottom’s fallen out on that.

Ok.  You are screwed.  Let me be blunt.  Let me do some Harvard Business School math for you – You’re screwed.

“There Are Decisions Being Made by People in Power that Are Not Just Simply Destructive, They’re So Destructive You’re Not Going to be Able to Turn This Around” – Steve Bannon on the Collapse of Civilization

Steve Bannon shared on The War Room his synopsis of the destruction of civilization that is taking place today across the Western world by the radicals in charge. 

Steve Bannon shared his thoughts on what is going on around us in the world today.

Steve Bannon:  The most important thing we’ve got to do is look reality in the face now and understand exactly what’s going on in the world because there are decisions being made by people in power that are not just simply destructive, they’re so destructive you’re not going to be able to turn this around.

This is what I keep saying.  You saw [Jerome] Powell yesterday.  Powell’s up there talking the big talk.  We played from a year and a half ago, Cortes and I on February 26, a year and a half ago, a year and a half to the day, talking about what the problem was.

And a year ago yesterday in Jacksonhole at the same set of microphones, that clown stood there and said no, inflation is transitory.  And today it was fire and brimstone, that he’s got to choke it all down now and invoking Paul Volker’s name and I call it the house of pain now.

It didn’t have to be like this but it’s going to get so much worse!

Here’s why.  You have this mass psychosis of all the Greta Thunbergs of the world and all the elites kowtow to them.

Watch the video below.  (Picture of Steve with his daughter.)

FBI Responds to Zuckerberg’s Claims About Hunter Biden Laptop Story

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has responded to claims made by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg that a “warning” about “Russian propaganda” had prompted the platform to limit the reach of the Hunter Biden laptop story during the election.

Zuckerberg admitted that Facebook had limited the reach of the New York Post’s bombshell story because it fit the “pattern” that the government agency had warned them about.

“The background here is that the FBI came to us – some folks on our team – and was like ‘hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it on notice that basically there’s about to be some kind of dump that’s similar to that.'”

The Post obtained a copy of the hard drive after the president’s drug-addled son left his laptop at a repair shop and never went back.

When asked by Rogan if he regretted censoring the story, Zuckerberg said that it “sucks.”

“It sucks… I think in the same way that having to go though a criminal trial but being proven innocent in the end sucks… in the end you’re free,” Zuckerberg said.

The big tech CEO said that the story was a “hyper-political” issue.

Zuckerberg added, “depending on what side of the political spectrum [you’re on], you either think we didn’t censor it enough or we censored it way too much.”

According to a report from NBC News, “in a statement Friday night, the FBI said it has provided companies with ‘foreign threat indicators’ to help protect their platforms and customers, but that it ‘cannot ask, or direct, companies to take action on information received.'”

“The FBI routinely notifies U.S. private sector entities, including social media providers, of potential threat information, so that they can decide how to better defend against threats,” the agency said.

Meta, Facebook’s parent company, responded to the agency’s statement on Twitter.

“As we’ve said, nothing about the Hunter Biden laptop story is new. Below is what Mark told Sen. Johnson in Oct 2020 and what Mark told Joe Rogan this week. The FBI shared general warnings about foreign interference – nothing specific about Hunter Biden,” the statement said.

DeSantis Suspends Four School Board Officials After Parkland Shooting Grand Jury Investigation

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has suspended four school board officials in Broward County after reviewing the grand jury investigation into the Parkland school shooting.

The shooting took place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018.

In an executive order, DeSantis followed the recommendation of the grand jury and suspended Patricia Good, Donna Korn, Ann Murray and Laurie Rich Levinson.

The order asserted that the sheriff’s office will accompany them to retrieve their belongings from the school board building.

“It is my duty to suspend people from office when there is clear evidence of incompetence, neglect of duty, misfeasance or malfeasance,” said Governor DeSantis in a statement. “The findings of the Statewide Grand Jury affirm the work of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas School Safety Commission. We are grateful to the members of the jury who have dedicated countless hours to this mission and we hope this suspension brings the Parkland community another step towards justice. This action is in the best interest of the residents and students of Broward County and all citizens of Florida.”

DeSantis’ office said that the final report of the Grand Jury found that a safety-related alarm that could have possibly saved lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School “was and is such a low priority that it remains uninstalled at multiple schools,” and “students continue to be educated in unsafe, aging, decrepit, moldy buildings that were supposed to have been renovated years ago.”

On Tuesday, the majority of DeSantis-endorsed school board candidates won their elections — flipping several counties that were previously led by liberals.

Out of the 30 school board candidates the governor endorsed as being “committed to the student-first principles of the DeSantis Education Agenda,” 21 of them won. Four will be heading to runoff elections and just five have lost.

Two of the largest districts, Miami and Jacksonville, both now have conservative majority school boards.

The full grand jury report can be found here.

NEVER FORGET: One Year Ago Today Suicide Bomber Killed 173 Afghans and 13 American Heroes — And Lloyd Austin and the Pentagon Knew Specifics of Attack in Advance

Now we know.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Joint Chief’s Chariman Mark Milley, and CentCom Commander General Kenneth McKenzie all knew about the Kabul Airport terrorist bombing hours in advance at the Abbey Gate.

The top US Military leaders knew that the Abbey Gate Soldiers were at the greatest risk.

13 US servicemen and women were killed in the attack.

It’s time for heads to roll.

Politico reported:

(Politico) – Just 24 hours before a suicide bomber detonated an explosive outside Hamid Karzai International Airport, senior military leaders gathered for the Pentagon’s daily morning update on the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.

Speaking from a secure video conference room on the third floor of the Pentagon at 8 a.m. Wednesday — or 4:30 p.m. in Kabul — Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin instructed more than a dozen of the department’s top leaders around the world to make preparations for an imminent “mass casualty event,” according to classified detailed notes of the gathering shared with POLITICO.

During the meeting, Gen. Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned of “significant” intelligence indicating that the Islamic State’s Afghanistan affiliate, ISIS-K, was planning a “complex attack,” the notes quoted him as saying. Commanders calling in from Kabul relayed that the Abbey Gate, where American citizens had been told to gather in order to gain entrance to the airport, was “highest risk,” and detailed their plans to protect the airport.

“I don’t believe people get the incredible amount of risk on the ground,” Austin said, according to the classified notes.

On a separate call at 4 that afternoon, or 12:30 a.m. on Thursday in Kabul, the commanders detailed a plan to close Abbey Gate by Thursday afternoon Kabul time. But the Americans decided to keep the gate open longer than they wanted in order to allow their British allies, who had accelerated their withdrawal timeline, to continue evacuating their personnel, based at the nearby Baron Hotel.

American troops were still processing entrants to the airport at Abbey Gate at roughly 6 p.m. in Kabul on Thursday when a suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest there, killing nearly 200 people, including 13 U.S. service members.

Without Air Supremacy Ukraine Is Unable to Push Russia Out of the Country – Currently Russia Flies Unchallenged

Russian Air Force Begins Sukhoi T-50 Fighter Jet Trials | DefenceTalk

Folks love combat air. Just look at the crowds flocking to see the latest Top Gun. There has been tension between ground forces and air forces since World War II over who packs the biggest punch. During World War II, the Commanders of the 8th Army Air Force (back then the U.S. Air Force was part of the U.S. Army and did not become a separate command until after the war) insisted they could win the war by bombing Germany into submission. Turned out they were wrong, but that belief persisted into many subsequent conflicts.

The reality is that wars against a first world power requires the coordinated use of infantry, tanks, artillery, missiles, combat air–fixed and rotary wing–intelligence, electronic warfare and strong logistics. Short of dropping a nuclear bomb or missile, war is a complex operation.

With that prelude, I want you to step back and look at what is happening in the Donbas. Russia has air supremacy. Here is the definition:

Aerial supremacy (also air superiority) is the degree of which a side in a conflict holds control of air power over opposing forces. There are levels of control of the air in aerial warfare. Control of the air is the aerial equivalent of command of the sea.

How do we know? Russia is flying unchallenged. There are no Ukrainian planes taking off to shoot down Russian aircraft. This is not a Putin talking point. It is a fact. Here is a video showing a series of Russian combat flights over the Donbas. Note they are flying close to the terrain. Why? Because Ukraine still has some surface to air missiles that could be effective against air craft flying 1000 feet or higher.

This is just one component of the Russian offensive. These pilots are being directed by intelligence collected real time from satellites, drones and ground observers. They are not operating in isolation. It is a combined arms operation.

What about Ukraine? The Ukrainian troops on the ground are hunkered down in trenches and bunkers. They cannot call for air support because it has been eliminated. How do I know? I cannot find a single video in the last four months of a squadron of Ukrainian pilots attacking Russian positions. You see, the Russians have a robust air defense system that deploys with mechanized and infantry units.

Ukraine has been trying to rebuild its meager air force but is running into some difficulty. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense’s Thursday briefing:

High-precision weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces have hit 5 combat aircraft of Ukrainian Air Force at Mirgorod military airfield in Poltava Region. 1 Su-27 and 1 Su-24 have been destroyed. Another 2 Su-27s and 1 Su-24 suffered critical damage. The enemy’s casualties in manpower were up to 30 Nationalists.

Without a credible air capability, Ukraine is incapable of launching any kind of ground offensive to oust Russians from Kherson or any other piece of territory controlled by Russia. If Ukraine is able to cobble together a regiment or two, supported by a tank battalion, the Ukrainian force will run into a wall of fire from Russian artillery, drones, missiles, helicopters and jet fighters. That is a suicide mission and I cannot understand why many of the military pundits populating the U.S. airwaves are afraid to acknowledge this reality. It cannot be ignorance. There is too much information on the internet that contradicts the flood of propaganda from western media and government sources insisting that Russia is stalled or losing. It is not.

There is a representative and egregious piece of disinformation was published on August 24 in Vox by Zack Beauchamp. He writes:

More recently, however, the momentum has started to swing back to the Ukrainian side. Western military aid — most notably an American rocket artillery system called HIMARS — has helped level the artillery playing field and wreaked havoc on Russian supply lines. Today, experts aren’t asking whether Ukraine will launch a counteroffensive aimed at retaking Russian-held territory, but when it will start and where it will focus.

Whether this means Ukraine is now “winning,” however, is a somewhat more complicated question to answer. We don’t know that the upcoming counteroffensive is likely to succeed; it depends on factors about which we have limited evidence, like Ukraine’s ability to conduct so-called “combined arms” offensive operations (ones that employ multiple components of military power simultaneously to accomplish a particular goal). Some important quantitative metrics, like the size of their respective ammunition stockpiles, are hard to estimate based on publicly available information. At this point, even leading experts on the conflict find it difficult to assess with real confidence who’s winning on the battlefield.

These guys and gals have one job–persuade the American people that they should continue to support sending billions of dollars in military gear and financial aid to Ukraine. Once the American people wake up and realize this is now a fool’s errand, the bamboozle will be over. But not completely. The propaganda campaign has poisoned future prospects for normal relations with Russia. A return to diplomacy appears as likely as a Ukrainian offensive to retake Crimea. It is not in the cards.
