Need to Know News (16 March 2023) with Carl Herman & Brian Davidson

Time Text
This is Jim Fetzer in Mazin, Wisconsin, joined today by Carl Herman in San Ramon, California, and Brian Davidson in Houston, Texas.
We're here to bring you all the news you need to know.
And today, there's some very important stories.
U.S.
summons a Russian ambassador as Moscow denies that fighter jet collided with the American Reaper.
But, I mean, clearly the Russians were sending a signal.
Maybe they dumped some kind of fuel in front of the drone.
It now looks like they're going to try to recover it.
The incidents, according to Pentagon Press Secretary, Air Force Brigadier General Pat Ryder, demonstrate a lack of competence in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional.
I don't think that for a second.
This was deliberate.
Russia Defense Ministry denied colluding with the drone, saying it went into an uncontrolled flight due to sharp maneuvering.
The incident happened in international airspace not far from the front lines in Ukraine, where it appears the drone was gathering intelligence to be used against Russia.
President Biden has been briefed as though that made any difference.
Russian Defense Minister said the drone was flying toward its airspace with its transponder off when the Russian fighters were dispatched to investigate.
Russian fighter did not use airborne weapon, did not come into contact with the American drone, but it went into an uncontrolled flight, lost attitude, and collided with a water surface.
Ned Price called this a brazen violation of international law.
The White House spokesman said the State Department would be speaking with their Russian counterparts.
We don't need to have some kind of check-in with Russia before we fly into international space, said Kirby.
Meanwhile, here are some of the areas where these drones are located in relation to Ukraine and Russia and so forth.
I welcome your thoughts, Carl.
Well, I did see film, alleged film, from the drone transmitting, showing Russian fighters buzzing the drone twice, doing a fuel dump, and then after the second fuel dump, the drone ended up with a bent propeller blade so if that film is authentic then there was maneuvering and and who knows what was really going on this is the fog of war
and maybe this was just a couple of pilots deciding to dump some of their fuel before landing on an aircraft carrier because sometimes they need to do that for an aircraft carrier landing um if if the u.s wants to complain about international law being broken.
Okay.
How about Nord Stream 2?
How about all those wars of aggression?
So, Carl B. Herman Bloxvod, just start reading.
The history of the U.S.
is the violation of international law through treaties, through torture, through chemical weapons, through nuclear weapons development, through the expansion of NATO, through the threatening of Iran.
It's just typical Orwellian.
And we'll see what plays out with this.
But the U.S.
is just virtue signaling, as always, as if As if the U.S.
respects the rule of law.
You make salient points.
Brian?
Yeah, I did watch the video as well and I had some concerns about its authenticity and whether or not a strike really happened.
However, there's a lot of chatter even on RT about making attempts to recover the drone.
It doesn't surprise me.
This is just a normal Tuesday afternoon.
In terms of American spying over there and running different drones, and it doesn't surprise me that some Russian fighter jets tried to haze the drone with fuel and maybe got a little bit too close, or maybe didn't even strike it at all.
It didn't seem to me like the camera indicated that the drone was actually struck, but those things happen so fast.
Of course, it shows that only one propeller blade got hit, and so if it happened, it happened in such an instant that it didn't even hit Multiple blades.
Um, I don't really know what to think about it.
I don't think it's anything to escalate us into war, but it's a good way to take out those pesky drones that are searching to figure out what you're doing and where you're going.
And, uh, it wouldn't surprise me if Russians, uh, the Russian guys actually did strike the drone and it doesn't bother me one way or another.
Now, of course, now the drone is in the Black Sea, so everybody's in a scramble to get it and find the tech that's on it, especially if it didn't break up.
That's right.
And here we have Lindsey Graham declaring we should shoot down Russian military aircraft.
Lindsey Graham suggests that Biden had been needed to start shooting down Russian planes after a Russian-promoted incident led to the destruction of a U.S.
military drone over international waters.
U.S.
European Command said two Russian fighters were harassing the $32 million unmanned MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Black Sea when one clipped a propeller of the drone and forced it into the body of water.
They shot down our drone, said Sean Hannity.
What should our answer be?
Well, we should hold him accountable and say, if you ever get near another U.S.
asset flying in international waters, your airplane will be shot down.
Said Lindsey Graham absurdly.
What would Ronald Reagan do?
He would start shooting Russian planes down if they were threatening our assets.
American foreign policy is in free fall.
Weakness breeds provocation.
They know they can get away with it.
Mexico is blaming us for the fentanyl crisis.
Biden is a deer in the headlights.
He needs to up his game.
So Biden, you're Rodney Dangerfield of world leaders.
Nobody respects you.
And if you don't change your game and up your game, we're going to have World War III.
A statement from U.S.
European Command added, both the Russian blamed up fuel and flew in front of the drone.
Our MQ-9 aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace, meaning routinely spying on Russian forces in Ukraine, when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the drone.
In fact, this unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russian nearly caused both aircraft to crash.
U.S.
and Allied will continue to operate in international airspace.
The statement said the incident followed a pattern of dangerous action by Russian pilots.
U.S.
Air Forces in Europe, Air Force America routinely fly throughout Europe over sovereign territory and throughout international airspace in accordance with applicable host nation and international law, the statement added, to bolster collective European defense and security.
These missions support allied, partner, and U.S.
national objectives.
Meanwhile, Russia to try recovering downed U.S.
drone, as U.S.
vows to protect our equities.
Russian officials announced the operations underway to collect the debris of the downed U.S.
drone.
The aircraft is U.S.
property, said a defense official to Fox.
We take the recovery very seriously.
Military command official said a Russian fighter jet dumped fuel on the drone over the Black Sea, allegedly clipped the drone's propeller.
National Security Council coordinator John Kirby said the U.S.
had already moved to protect our equities, that they did not want anyone else getting their hands on the drone.
Without getting into too much detail, what I can say is we've taken steps to protect our equities with respect to that particular drone, that particular aircraft, and its United States property.
It has not been recovered, and I'm not sure we're going to be able to recover it.
I mean, when it fell into the Black Sea, that's very, very deep water, Kirby told CNN.
We're still assessing whether there can be any kind of recovery ever mounted.
There may not be.
The Navy does not have any ships operating in the Black Sea.
Russia has denied the aircraft actually physically came into contact and accused the U.S.
of unnecessarily escalating the issue.
We assume the U.S.
will refrain from further speculation in the media and stop flights near Russian borders, said the Russian ambassador.
Carl, your thoughts?
War criminal Lindsey Graham of the US Senate is complaining about an attack on American assets as if we are completely innocent and just upholding the rule of law and international waters.
Just routine patrols from the Empire.
Well, the actual data is that the U.S.
has initiated over 200 armed military attacks since World War II, killing 30 million plus people.
And the people of the world aren't fooled.
They vote the U.S.
more than 2 to 1 as the most dangerous nation to world peace.
Now, it reminds me, just saying, oh yeah, we were just in International Water's routine.
That's how the Gulf of Tonkin incident started for the U.S.
escalation of their involvement in Vietnam.
The Gulf of Tonkin incident, the U.S.
Navy was engaged in spying And when patrol boats of the North Vietnamese chased them off, that incident was manufactured as a unprovoked attack by communist North Vietnamese vessels on the U.S.
Navy, who were in international waters just conducting routine patrols.
I'll put a link into that history in the show notes for you.
But, you know, after this history of the U.S., Nobody should accept any of their testimony, especially from that lying sack of spin John Kirby.
We should withdraw support and demand arrest from the long history of provable war crimes and wars of aggression.
Brian?
You know, I was just now reviewing the full footage of that drone Strike or whatever the drone getting hit and I don't see where the drone was hit at all.
I don't see a bent propeller.
This is off of RT's website.
So I'm not, I'm not sure what's going on with it.
You can clearly see the Russian fighter jet coming up from behind it and flying over it, which is where the propellers are mounted on the back side of it.
So it wasn't a head on.
It was, he was chasing it and coming up behind it.
And he started dumping fuel to sort of dump fuel all over the drone.
But I don't see where there's evidence of an actual strike there at all.
As for Lindsey Graham, okay.
There was an episode of the Pete Santilli Show that I went back over, and in it he had video footage from December of 2016 with Lindsey Graham and John McCain and Amy Klobuchar.
In Ukraine, sort of exchanging gifts and having a translated talk about how we would support it.
Now, this is December of 2016.
And in that video, he's saying we're going to start the war.
It's going to start in 2017.
We're going to support Ukraine against their fight against Russia.
So it was all determined in advance.
Well, what happened in January of 2016?
Donald Trump was elected, and so they had to put it off until Joe Biden got into office.
But let me tell you that one of the oligarchs in that meeting was a guy by the name of Sergei Gilbonin.
And here's a picture of him with Jacob Chansley, the QAnon shaman.
So that does seem a little bit strange.
And let me remind you of another piece of historical context on this.
If you go way back to Benghazi, there was a guy by the name of Christopher Stevens who was killed in the Benghazi A program that was supposedly in charge of getting arms to Ukraine, working with and Hillary Clinton was running cover and then he was going to come out and tell the story about how he was really just as an ambassador.
Providing an arms deal to Ukraine is my understanding of the story.
I can't remember it.
It's a little bit thin on me, but there's a whole bunch of context on this that goes way back in terms of Lindsey Graham, the warmonger John McCain, trying to set up Russia for a war with Ukraine, all the way back to December of 2016, prior to Trump becoming president.
Of course, those plans for a war with Russia were delayed as a result of the Trump presidency, so it doesn't surprise me that we decided to start the war now that we had control, or now that the United States globalists have control of the White House.
Nice point.
It's not playing out the way they want it, because Ukraine is going down, Russia is winning, and the economic and other consequences have been devastating for the West.
Meanwhile, financial death spiral ensues as SVP Worth Republic PacWest signature bank all collapse.
If you think the banking collapse will end with Silicon Valley Bank, think again.
Contagion is already spreading as Americans are waking up to the fact the American financial system is a fraudulent Ponzi scheme, resulting in financial ruin for many.
I don't think we're going back to where we were 2008 necessarily, but these things aren't one-offs.
Said University of San Diego finance professor Dan Rocato about the situation.
My suspicion is we're going to see a few more of these things creep up.
Mercado is technically right about things not going back to how they were in 2008.
If anything, it is going to be much, much worse.
Numerous other banks are icing their share prices crumble.
Depositors are withdrawing their cash.
Investors selling off their stock.
New York Signature Bank, which collapsed not long after, saw its share price pummel 23% before trading was halted.
The share of First Republic, 16th largest bank, crashed by 14.8%, followed by PacWest at 37.9%.
Meanwhile, government bailout signals death to capitalism, writes Ken Griffin.
The billionaire has criticized Washington's plan to help depositors recover funds from collapsing banks.
The government's intervention in the unfolding crisis has been slammed by Citadel hedge fund founder Ken Griffin.
According to reports Monday, Griffin said the strength of the economy means the authorities did not have to take such forceful action.
It would have been a great lesson in moral hazard, he said.
Losses to deposit would have been immaterial.
It would have driven home the point that risk management is essential.
The CEO of the $62 billion hedge fund observed, We're at full employment.
Actually, that's what we're told.
I don't believe it for a second.
Credit losses have been minimal and the bank balance sheets are at their strongest ever.
We can address the issue of moral hazard from a position of strength.
He also lashed out at the Fed over the banking turmoil, saying the regulator was the definition of being asleep at the wheel.
The US is supposed to be a capitalist economy, and that's breaking down before our eyes.
There's been a loss of financial discipline, with the government bailing out depositors in full.
Concern over the health of the financial system had grown since the failure of the Silicon Valley Bank, which had over $200 billion in assets just a few months ago, but imploded Friday in a classic case of bank run.
Alarmed over the state of the bank, Depositors rushed to withdraw funds.
It saw their shares crash.
Forced the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to shut the lender down.
SVB's decline followed an announcement last Monday from California-based crypto-focused bank Silvergate about its impending liquidation.
Sunday, New York-based Signature Bank was shut down by regulators, becoming the third failure in less than a week.
Tuesday, Moody's Ratings placed the First Republic Bank and five other lenders on review for a downgrade.
Global banking stocks have plummeted.
Meanwhile, how the U.S.
banking crisis could lead to the collapse of the Western financial system.
Serious stuff.
The U.S.
banking industry is reeling from a string of failures kicked off last week and continues.
So what happened?
California-based crypto focus bank Silvergate was the first to announce impending liquidation.
Then came tech and startup favorite Silicon Valley, the implosion of which was the largest bank collapse since the financial crisis of 2008.
Signature Bank in New York was the latest to be shut down.
Why did the banks fail?
They saw their stocks plunge following massive deposit outflows amid fears of a recession, higher interest rates, and a slowdown in the market.
Those factors made it harder for many businesses to raise additional cash and led companies to draw down their deposits at SVB and similar lenders.
What do interest rates have to do with it?
In order to tame inflation, governments in the West began to raise interest rates.
There's an historic correlation between higher rates and failures of over-leveraged financial institutions.
Over-leverage occurs when a business has borrowed too much money and is unable to pay interest or principal or maintain payments for its operating expenses.
Interest rates in the U.S.
have been hiked on more than one occasion in the past year.
Many warn they're currently too high at 4.5 to 4.75 to keep financial bubbles from bursting.
to keep financial bubbles from bursting.
Who's next?
The stock meltdown resumed with a vengeance Mondays.
Several bank stocks halted due to volatility as a midday back West Bank Core, Zion Bank Core, First Republic Bank and Regent Financial were no longer trading until further notice.
How did the Fed react?
The Fed, U.S.
Treasury, and Deposit Insurance Corporation announced a new emergency program to shore up confidence.
They will allow both insured and uninsured depositors full access to their money through a special FDIC fund.
The Fed also separately announced it would make additional funding available for banks in cases of emergency.
Will the measure stem the fallout of the collapses?
Traders analysed claim panic is already ripe, could further push investors to move funds from small banks to what they view as the safety of large systemically important lenders.
This would drain liquidity from the latter and may lead to their downfall.
Is there a risk of broader upheaval?
Governments in U.S., Britain, and Canada have been taking extraordinary steps to prevent a banking crisis.
Germany's Finance Walkout stated the distressed situation of SVB's German branch does not pose a threat to financial stability there.
According to some analysts, there's no risk of contagion since the authorities have stepped in.
Eww, what?
That is the worst case scenario.
Depositors could panic, resulting in national runs on banks.
Since lenders don't have the money, they'll be forced to close their door and block deposited assets to their accounts.
As governments cannot protect all depositors, we could be facing a 1929-style Great Depression, or worse, the collapse of the entire Western financial system.
Carl, your thoughts?
Yeah, that's not overstating the case.
So our whole banking system is a bubble.
If you take a look at it, just imagine it's this That's the system that we have because, as a now-retired AP Macroeconomics teacher and a US government teacher, we teach everybody, it's right there in the textbooks, that what we use for money is created as a debt.
Those mechanics create, in mathematical certainty, this exponential aggregate debt curve.
How that is done is through what we're told is fractional reserve lending, which means that the deposits that are in a bank, they can take 90% of those and lend them out or invest them.
And in the case of SBB, they did what the government asked them to do.
They invested them in safe government securities.
But with the raising of that interest rate, what really sunk them Was the statements on corporate media and the pulling of funds.
If anybody does that to a bank, then that bank is in liquid because they can't cover any demand for deposits beyond that 10%.
In addition, the most important part of this equation is what we've heard about for the derivatives trade.
Derivatives are just gambling devices speculating on future prices.
Now, the underlying assets of the derivatives market is estimated at about $50 trillion, okay?
The estimation of the entire derivatives market gambling upon those $50 trillion in hard assets is about $1,000 trillion or a quadrillion.
So, that's significantly more, like 20 times more.
Alright, so, SVB, how much were they gambling in the derivatives market?
Well, they were gambling about $27 billion.
That's a lot, $27 billion.
That's a lot, $27 billion, except J.P.
Morgan, they have $57 trillion gambled.
J.P.
Morgan alone is gambling more on the derivatives market than the entire value of the underlying assets, and that's how the big sacks of spin do it.
The big asset holes, they have no regard for Fiduciary responsibility.
They're gambling because they have been bailed out.
In the last bailout, 2008 and 2009, we were told, oh, the banks are too big to fail.
And so they were bailed out.
And what do they do with the bailout money?
They purchased their competitors who were systematically destroyed, therefore making the too big to fail banks too bigger to fail.
Let's see, what else do I want to talk about?
I think that's it.
The total value of the derivatives markets, about 80% of the total market, is held by the two big to fail banks.
And I'll just give you a quick run of So we have JPMorgan Chase about $54 trillion, Goldman Sachs $51 trillion, Citibank $46 trillion, Bank of America $21 trillion, Wells Fargo $12 trillion.
So, if that becomes a run on hard assets, these institutions will not be able to cover their derivative gambling bets, and it is a possibility for an entire collapse, and if that happens, It's only happening on paper.
It'll be super scary.
And what our opponents will attempt to do is to herd people into the great reset of owning nothing, living in pods, eating bugs and being happy about that.
What we're going to do, on the other hand, is point out, hey, this is fraud from the very beginning.
They knew it from the very beginning.
I'll provide an essay which gives an abundant amount of documentation to take that stand.
And as always, don't buy into their narratives, withdraw consent.
We already have enough.
Demand their arrests.
Brian.
Well, the whole thing reminds me of the movie The Big Short and everything that happened back in 2008 and 2009, but it's all the usual suspects.
So let's take a quick review.
The Times of Israel reported Israel's two largest banks, Bank Lumi and Bank Hapola Lim, set up a situation room prior to the collapse.
That has been operating around the clock to help firms transfer their money from SVB before it was seized to accounts in Israel.
Over the past few days, teams at LumiTech, the high-tech banking arm of Bank Lumi, have been able to help their Israeli clients transfer about $1 billion back to Israel.
And let's remember that the top 10 owners of SVB Financial Group include number one, the Vanguard Group, usual suspects, and number three, BlackRock Fund Advisors, again with the usual suspects.
Less than 2% of the accounts were covered under the FDIC, even though the limit is $250,000.
And the other thing that's very important is that SVB was heavily leveraged into the cryptocurrency market.
And this is obviously causing a lot of disruption in the cryptocurrency market.
So Stablecoin had revealed that it lost $3.3 billion in SVB exposure on that particular one.
The Silicon Valley Bank failure could lead to a whole generation of start-out wipeouts.
What's it all leading to?
Well, the Federal Reserve to launch an instant payment service called FedNow in July.
So that was reported by Yahoo Finance.
So we can have our taxes instantly taken out of our new corporately controlled bank accounts using the FedNow program.
And the Instant Payment Network will settle payments in seconds with the capability to support consumer-to-consumer, consumer-to-merchant, and merchant-to-merchant, and bank-to-bank transactions.
So, leading-edge payment system here.
Now we're going to be able to go to a centralized banking system that controls our digital currency, and we'll be able to use our phones and have our taxes instantly taken out of our bank accounts.
What is surprise, surprise, surprise!
Feels engineered to me.
And we gotta combine that.
Brian, you forgot the most important part, is to keep us safe, the social credit scores will be tied into those accounts, and for those Americans who are trending to the DVE, the domestic violent extremists, of course, those people will have to have their funds cut off, because we don't want them investing into terrorism.
Thank you both.
My response to all of it was to buy a larger water supply and to plant a bigger garden.
And stock up on ammo.
Meanwhile, we'll be right back.
Listen to this.
Joe Biden going bananas over guns.
And I'm determined, once again, to ban assault weapons in high-capacity magazines.
I led that fight to ban them in 1994.
In the ten years that law was in place, mass shootings went down.
Our Republican friends let it expire.
Ten years later, and mass shootings tripled since then.
Tripled.
So let's finish the job.
Ban assault weapons.
Ban them again.
Do it now.
Enough.
Do something.
Do something big.
What ain't gonna happen, and Biden, I think, is worried about covering his own ass, because when the people figure out what's going on, they might use those guns to get rid of this corrupt government.
Carl.
Well, yeah.
That goes into the fundamental, the big lie, of our political leaders.
Again, all they do is they virtue signal that they uphold the law, and they're the biggest criminals with the guns.
You need to reverse the script, to flip the script on that, is that the U.S.
President says commanders-in-chief of the military.
The documentation in U.S.
Illegal, that I'll provide in the show notes, demonstrates that These 200 plus military inventions approved by US presidents killing 30 million plus.
So don't fall for it.
Don't believe anything that these people say.
At the very least you have to hold their testimony as unreliable.
And then there's the whole added element of the false flag mass shootings that he references are by the government.
You can't believe a damn thing that this guy says.
Everything he says is false.
Brian, your thoughts?
Oh, and the great words of the great Rush Limbaugh, ditto to that.
You can't believe a single word that they say.
Look, they've been after our guns for a long, long time.
It doesn't surprise me that they're going to roll this out right now.
Just at a time when we're talking about going to war with Russia, we're going to take the Americans' guns away.
Does that make any sense?
No, none of it makes sense.
Our guns are important.
Yes, I like my high-capacity magazines.
And yes, you can go to YouTube and see some videos shooting pigs.
It's out there.
We use them all the time and pigs are a major problem.
So I do like my high-capacity magazine, but that's not just for hunting.
It's because in the event that they come into my neighborhood, Like it.
Good comments.
to be prepared to make sure to deal with it, whether they're the good guys or the bad guys.
Both.
And I'm not sure we're going to be able to tell the good guys from the bad guys when it all goes down.
Anyway, I have a feeling that half the cops out there on the payroll, especially in my neck of the woods, are going to be on our side.
So we'll see how it goes.
Like it.
Good comments.
Both.
Meanwhile, the parliamentary motive behind the J6 Fedsurrection. - Yeah.
Very, very important.
Sundance, a conservative treehouse.
The Ring of Truth.
I am too well accustomed to the taking of evidence not to detect the Ring of Truth.
Edith Wharton, 1908.
Much has been made of the events of January 6th, with the latest broadcast of CCTV footage from inside the Capitol.
More questions have been raised.
Within the questions, the FBI and government address had advanced knowledge of the scale of the J6 mall assembly, yet did nothing.
Why were the Capitol Police never informed of FBI concerns?
Why didn't Speaker Pelosi secure the Capitol complex?
Why did she deny the request by President Trump to call up the National Guard?
Why did the FBI have agents provocateur in the crowd, stimulating rage within the peaceful people to enter the Capitol?
There have always been these nagging questions around why.
Longtime conservative treehouse reader, Rick Ettinger, has spent a great time reviewing the entire process, looking at the granular timeline and overlaying the bigger picture of the constitutional and parliamentary process.
What follows is a brilliant analysis of the government's motive to create the January 6th crisis to permit House Speaker Pelosi to trigger an emergency session and avoid, circumvent, Obviate 2020 election certification challenges.
Those congressional board challenges, known and anticipated well in advance, would have formed a legal and constitutional basis for standing in judicial challenges that would have eventually reached the Supreme Court.
The certification during the emergency session, however, eliminated the problem for Washington, D.C.
As he explains, I think most, not all, but a large number of people are totally missing what happened and why it happened on January 6th.
I'll present this as a series of questions and answers.
Question 1.
How do you prevent Congress from delaying the certification of state electoral votes to answer?
It requires a crisis.
A crisis that creates an emergency, an emergency that invokes special House rule facts.
Remember, carefully, focus, please.
Just moments.
Literally three minutes before two representatives issued a vote, promotions are suspended, the clarification, the certification, the House members were informed by Capitol Police and other agents a protest was about to breach a chamber.
It was at this time that key people, Pence, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, can be seen being walked out and escorted from the chamber.
This effectively halted the entire chamber process.
Question two.
Why was it necessary to halt the process?
Answer.
The crisis was created to eliminate the motion challenges, to halt the certification, and to begin voting, to look into voting irregularities and fraught facts.
The two motions were completely legal and constitutional under at least two constitutionally recognized procedures.
Procedures that would require the House to pause the certification and then vote to determine whether the motions of suspend could move forward.
Question three.
What was so important to refuse this motion and the subsequent votes to suspend?
Answer.
It was important to remove that process entirely and continue the fraud and certify the fraud with no detractors on record.
This effectively gives no standing for a SCOTUS ruling appeal.
Understand this.
If those two motions, even just one, have successfully been voted, even if the motion were denied, this gives those who presented them with standing for a constitutional legal argument before the Supreme Court.
Or could this have been done some other way than by creating a crisis?
Answer.
Unlikely.
In order to move out those two motions requires the Speaker of the House, minority leaders, and the President of Congress, to wit, Vice President of the United States, Pence, not be present in the chambers.
Once again, police and other law enforcement agents informed the Speaker and the other three how Locey unilaterally, under emergency rules, suspended the business of the Congress.
This protest was necessary.
The crisis was created by virtue of the protest because there's no other way to suspend a business of certification unilaterally.
By creating a crisis, Invoking emergency procedures, no other circumstance than war or mass simultaneous explosive diarrhea, for example, could create such unilateral speaker-delivered suspension of the certification.
Question five.
Why did the motions, once the speaker reconvened Congress, move forward Back again to the floor for votes.
Why were members disallowed to even consider putting forward any motions to the floor when chamber business was reopened?
Answer?
And this is crucial.
The Speaker initiated the new sessions under special emergency rules, which abandoned to make clear that the only purpose of the new session was to expedite the certification and dismiss all prior regular session procedural rules.
This is why those two motions at table votes to consider a debate and pause to the certification of vote electors never happened later that evening when the House business was reconvened.
Six.
Other than new rules, emergency rules, what other peculiar things occurred when the Speaker reconvened?
Answer?
Members were allowed to vote in proxy, remotely, not being present.
You can use your imagination about what conditions were in place on all members during this time to prevent anyone from getting out alive.
Also, clearly, it was at this news session that Vice President Pence, President of Congress, Would also have no ability to even consider pausing the electoral certification because there were no motions of disagreement on the matter.
So in a technical legal sense, he is correct that he had no constitutional authority to address any issues of fraud or doubts about election.
Irregularities.
But this completely dismisses or ignores the fact that Congress created rules in this crisis emergency that never allowed them to be floored.
Understand what happened.
Don't be hung up on Viking imposters, stolen computers, podium heists, complicit Cabo police.
Understand the process and what happened and what was not allowed to happen.
This was a coup.
It was a very organized and carefully planned coup.
The BPADs, without a doubt, as well as most members of the House, were quite aware of how the certification was going to be managed.
It would require new rules to prevent the debate clause from occurring.
New rules that only an emergency crisis could create.
So they created an emergency.
No.
I understand why many have great interest in debunking the J6 event.
I get that.
I think it's important to dissect and examine, but please step back and understand why these things happen.
Examine the chain of events in Congress.
Why, those two motions that would have at least paused the certification would give Vice President Pence the constitutionally recognized power to move to suspend the electoral certification and then examine the irregularities and claims of fraud.
At the very center of the coup stands Mike Pence, The same individual also spoiled President Trump's first opportunities in the earlier hours of his presidency just four years prior when he created and facilitated the removal of Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.
I will not spend much time here and now explaining why Flynn was so important to Trump and why the intelligence community was so afraid he would have advisory power to the president that I'd leave for another day.
But understand this clearly.
Mike Pence was and is working for the most corrupt criminal treasonous people in government.
Pro tip!
If you really want to get a true understanding of this matter, videos of protesters walking in the Capitol is not going to address that.
Actual video and timeline records of events and the specific action taken by the Speaker just moments before two major electoral altering motions were about to be floored.
This crisis was developed just in time with a precise coordination to prevent those two motions to be entered into the chamber record.
The two motions do not exist.
The emergency powers established in the new session made sure they never could be entered.
The emergency powers could never happen without a crisis.
God bless America!
No, from the author.
I started this effort two years ago.
To date, no one, and I mean no one, has replied.
It's as if everyone who could expose it that has a large platform is either disinterested or suspiciously withdrawn from the issue.
I made several comments about this over the years right here at Conservative Treehouse on article threads that are relevant to the topic.
I was watching the certification live that day.
I recorded it all on every channel.
I knew it would be, no matter what happened that day, it would be a profound and significant event to remember.
I never in my wildest imagination, and I have a pretty vivid imagination, always have, expected to see the unmistakable perfectly timed coincidences that occurred.
One member raises a motion with another waiting his turn.
Those two motions were well known and advertised.
They were motioned to vote for a pause in the certification to examine the electoral vote fraud and irregularities.
I can't speak to the veracity and substance of those motions.
They were never allowed even before.
It was at that exact moment.
That house chamber were suspended and four of the key members, Pence, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, were escorted out right after initiating the end of the session.
Effectively, this resulted in the motion never being floored at all.
Then, when the ring convened under special emergency rules, inexplicably, those two motioned a perhaps more we will never know or were we, We're not even attempting to be motioned.
That was not just peculiar to me.
It all started to make more sense when I studied constitutional law and the history of specific authorities given to presidents of the Congress.
Pence, in this case.
Not only did he have the authority and power to suspend the certification, but the duty to address the motion in the same sense that it becomes vital to the debate clause.
There really is no higher significance of weight given to the debate clause than the certification of the votes.
This was more than odd to me the way that the media and Pence framed their narrative.
Pence would not have the constitutional power to suspend certification.
Then it hit me, like the obvious clue, there all the time he was right.
But the reason he was right is because there was no motion on the floor to cause him to suspend.
Understand, understanding this happened for me about four or five months after January 6th.
It took me that long to examine the facts.
Look at the video again, compared to the arguments made by leading constitutional academics.
And, again, inexplicably, even some that I respect seem to dodge the central reality.
The motions were never allowed to be floored in the Reconvene House rules later that evening.
Most would not even venture to address the exotically coincidence that the moment those two members would stand and place a motion before the House, the House Speaker Pelosi and Pence ended the session, effectively blocking the motion from being heard in normal House rules.
It's been a journey for me, a journey initiated because I'm just a simple but curious person.
Perhaps even to a point where I get obsessive in those efforts, many days and nights, combing over the details, praying and trying to make sense of what made little sense.
With over six states having serious, well-known, and obvious defects in the voting process, some more credible to believe, some less, but one would not expect the House would be so deliberate in marching past emotions that were definitely going to be present To slow the process down and take time to get it right.
Even if the claims never reached an intersection, that would change the outcome.
There are two possibilities.
Millions of people, against all odds, hitting all-time records even past Obama and Clinton, voted for a navel-gazing, ambulatory, pathological racist moron and chose John Malarkey as their leader.
Or, this was a coup, a conspiracy, and a treasonous manipulation regime change because President Trump could not be controlled by the deep state and globalists who own and operate Washington, D.C.
Both possibilities are terrifying.
The only way for the people to gain power in this country is to force a transfer thereof.
If truth isn't the fuel and vehicle, we'll just be replacing deck chairs and hitting the next series of expected icebergs.
Knowing the truth is not enough.
However, it is truth that makes it a righteous cause.
Sundance provides an addendum.
Julie Kelly, Just as the first wave of protesters breached a building shortly after 2 p.m., Congressional Republicans were posed to present evidence of rampant voting fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Ten incompetent four newly elected Republican senators plan to work with their House colleagues to demand the formation of an audit commission to investigate election irregularities in the 2020 election.
Absent an audit, the group of senators, including Ted Cruz of Texas and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, pledged to reject the Electoral College results from the disputed states.
The Hail Mary effort was doomed to fail.
Yet the American people would have heard hours of debate related to provable election fraud over the course of the day.
And no one opposed the effort more than ex-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell during a conference call on December 31st of 2020.
McConnell urged his Republican Senate colleagues to abandon plans to object to the certification, insisting his vote to certify would be the most consequential I have ever cast in a 36-year career.
From the Senate floor the afternoon of January 6, McConnell gave a dramatic speech warning of the dire consequences to the country should Republicans succeed in delaying the vote.
He downplayed examples of voting fraud, even mocked the fact that Trump-appointed judges rejected election lawsuits.
The voters, the courts, and the states have all spoken, McConnell insisted.
If we overrule them, it will damage our republic forever.
If this election were overturned by mere allegation from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral.
Roughly six hours later, McConnell got his way.
Cowed by the crowd of largely peaceful Americans allowed into the building by Capitol Police, most Republican senators backed off the audit proposal.
McConnell, echoing hyperbolic talking points about the insurrection seeded earlier in the day by Democrat lawmakers and the news media, gloated.
They tried to disrupt our democracy, he declared, after Congress reconvened around 8 p.m.
This failed attempt to obstruct Congress, this failed insurrection, only underscores how crucial the task before us is for our Republic.
Congress officially certified the electoral college results early the next day.
Carl.
Well, January 6th was a false flag in order to stop the presentation of evidence that would have demonstrated election fraud.
The most powerful piece of which, I repeat, is in Pennsylvania.
Their legislative branch had a hearing, and one of the legislators said, okay, so after we stopped the counting of the votes at 3 a.m.
and we started counting again, we had this one batch of votes, 600,000 for Biden, 3,000 for Trump.
100 to 1 ratio is mathematically impossible by the tune of a number with 50 to 60 zeros behind it.
So, of course, they had to have a false flag in order to stop the presentation of that evidence.
And all our opponents do is create narratives.
And the narratives was to stop the evidence of election fraud and replace it with insurrectionists.
Now, of course, we need to flip the script because the people accusing the Republicans of an insurrection, they're actually the insurrectionists.
And that's definitely mathematically proven by the 600,000 to 2,000 so-called count.
So let's see.
So the basement Biden and so he was Selected, and the documentary Selection Code and 2,000 Mules will demonstrate that the hair-sniffing, gun-grabbing, child-groping, plagiarist, war criminal, criminal against humanity, pathological liar Biden was indeed placed into office as a puppet.
Now, other evidence that may come forward, remember on that day of January 6th, Some of the laptops of the culprits were seized, including, if memory serves, Nancy Pelosi's laptop.
There may also be, and that article by the way was outstanding, to dive into it and to take a look from the point of view of the criminals about how they could get away with having courts just not take a look.
Were some of the members of Congress wearing a mic that would catch some of those conversations of threatening them not to raise any objections?
That would be interesting to see as well.
Pence I followed him from being in the House.
He rose to power because he went on the Sunday morning political talk shows pimping for wars of Baby Bush and Cheney because that's how people rise to power is they have to be able to go on TV and effectively lie.
They have to lie to the media.
They have to lie to the public.
Same thing with McConnell, Lindsey Graham that we talked about, the dead Senator McCain, Mitt Romney, all of them.
They're war criminals for voting for these wars because the UN Charter is crystal clear in letter and intent.
As is the treaty after World War I, that war is illegal except in a very narrow definition of self-defense.
And the presentation of this evidence will demonstrate that Pence and Pelosi and the leaders, they operated in knowledge of their fraud.
This was a criminal act to subvert the legal presentation of evidence for the good of the American public.
Well, on Monday night, Donald Trump spoke to an absolutely huge crowd in Davenport, Iowa.
It probably wasn't covered by any of the mainstream media organizations.
During that speech, he vowed to or promised to totally obliterate the deep state and described his push for a second term as a final battle.
He said in the speech that, I will fire the unelected bureaucrats who have weaponized our justice system.
Totally obliterate the deep state, and he called it, again, the final battle, as if he hasn't had his chance already.
You know, I never thought of Trump as a liar.
I don't want to think of him like that.
I don't know if he's overestimating his capabilities, but he's had a couple of years since 2020 to prepare his organizations for whatever's coming.
He hasn't named a VP candidate yet.
I guarantee you it will not be Mike Pence or any of the other deep state morons.
uh, warmongers that have been placed in his line, uh, whether or not you think he's just a broken record and he's had his chance.
I happen to think that if he's calling it the final battle and saying, if you elect me again, now the question is, is it even possible to elect him given that Joe Biden got 81 million votes?
I, I don't know the answer to that.
I haven't heard any wind that they're fixing the election system, that the systems are being repaired somehow.
I haven't heard any wind of some sort of QAnon military white hat force that's going to roll out the military forces to take these traitors out.
I don't know if there's anything real there or not.
But I don't find Trump to be a liar.
I think if he is really going to do it, he's the only one that's got a chance.
I can't think of another person who's got the chance to become president and do something about this problem.
The rest of them will be ineffective compared to a Donald Trump.
So, he's got my support for now.
I'm looking forward to him.
Hopefully fulfilling at least one component of his old promise to take out the deep state.
And I hope he does become president.
I'd like to see what happens.
It can't be any worse than it currently has been under Joe Biden.
So let's see what happens.
He knows what the hell he's up against and he's not going to let himself be played again.
I agree, Brian, with every word you said.
Stand by.
Get this, Black Lives Matter has received a stunning $82 billion in support from corporations.
Unbelievable!
According to recent research, the BLM movement and related organizations have received almost $83 billion from corporations.
Where's all this money gone?
We know the leaders of the movement live lavishly and have used money donated to buy luxurious homes.
Who else has been helped by those donations?
Eighty-two billion, after all, is more than the GDP of many countries.
From Breitbart.
Black Lives Matter movement received nearly $83 billion in remuneration.
The Black Lives Matter movement and related causes received an astonishing $82.9 billion in remuneration in a new funding database from the Claremont Institute has found.
As a point of reference, $82.9 billion is more than the GDP of 46 African countries.
In 2022, Ford Motor Company's profits were $23 billion.
The sum of $82.9 billion includes more than $123 million to the BLM parent organization directly, as well as much more to other organizations supporting BLM's agenda.
The list reveals several popular corporations from a wide range of industries supplied the movement with large sums of cash.
Walmart, for example, based in Arkansas, gave a whopping $100 million in support of BLM and related causes focusing on racial equity.
Amazon gave even more, supplying the movement with an astonishing $169.5 million.
$169.5 million.
Silicon Valley Bank, note, gave the movement $73.45 million.
The Claremont Institute Center for the American Way of Life explained the necessity of their report in an article published in Newsweek, where the center asserted that the 2020 BLM movement was about more than just rioting and destruction.
Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical company AbbVie gave the movement over $62 million, Allstate $7.7 million, American Express $50 million, Apple $100 million, AT&T $21.5 million, The movement and its cause received another $90 million from Nike.
Again, where is the money?
Where did it go?
Cory Book tweets, Here we are having trouble trying to raise $35 million to build a center to transform lives in a violent community yet corporations are sponsoring nonsense?
The Black Lives Matter movement received an astonishing $82.9 billion?
Meanwhile, Oregon thinks about paying homeless people free money.
Oregon is now debating whether or not to implement a universal basic income bill that would provide homeless or impoverished with a payment of $1,000 each month.
Legislators are debating a bill that would establish a People's Housing Help Fund demonstration program inside the Department of Human Services.
The Universal Basic Income Program in Oregon is the most recent effort by blue states to support UBI, Universal Basic Income, users financially.
As stated by Bill Track 50, the proposed law would provide 12 monthly payments of $1,000 each to persons experiencing homelessness, who are in danger of homelessness, who are considered rent burdeners, or below 60% of the area median income.
Under the proposed legislation, studies would need to be conducted on who receives the funds and how they're allocated across various groups such as race, veteran status, possibility of having experienced domestic abuse.
The legislation will be null and void as of January 1st, 2026 were it to pass.
The winners are free to spend the grand as they see fit.
Supporters predicted the money would go toward rent and other living expenses, but I guarantee you it'd be alcohol, drugs, prostitutes.
Nevertheless, there's a chance this discretion may be misused, since some recipients may use the funds for purposes other than they are intended, such as drugs or alcohol.
You can bet on it, 90%.
A universal basic income is not a new idea.
Oregon isn't the first state to consider implementing payments.
A California town is considering a plan to guarantee minimum income to trans and non-binary residents.
Without any further qualification, residents of Palm Springs who identify as transgender or non-binary can receive a universal basic income of up to $900 a month.
Last week, the City Council of Palm Springs reached a unanimous resolution and set aside $200,000 for the pilot program.
Let's see, at $1,000 a month, that would represent 200 months.
I just don't see that going anywhere.
Carl, your thoughts.
Your thoughts.
Well, he had $82 billion, and that cries for an external audit.
Obviously, Candace Owen had a documentary.
I didn't see it.
I liked the trailer, where she took a look at the tax forms and went into these communities and found out that, well, what has BLM done with the money to help the people?
And nobody could point to any project where they helped anybody.
The $82 billion probably paid for Antifa as the paramilitary arm of the 2020 Summer of Love for arson and actual insurrection.
An insurrection is where you attempt to take over the government.
That's exactly what BLM and Antifa did.
They camped out, they put barriers, and they became the claimed government of these places, including in downtown Portland.
So if Portland wants to enable that type of illegality, then again, the people of Portland, they have the opportunity to simply say no, to withdraw consent, and to claim that the leadership of Portland facilitated insurrection and arson.
And then they had that, remember, the catch and release program where if somebody did something, they would be brought in, they would be charged, those charges would be dropped or decreased later, and then they would just be sent back out onto the street.
For a UBI, yeah, sure.
That has potential.
But again, I wouldn't take anything that the criminals at the top are offering for more opportunities for a public abuse of public money.
And as I have read, More than 50 professional cost benefit analyses regarding ending homelessness.
All of them concluded that ending homelessness is cheaper than allowing it and the way to do it in the state of Utah found.
This study is so compelling that they implemented the program in their entire state, and they claim that they no longer have a homeless issue at all, because anybody who is homeless for any reason, they get a room.
You send a nurse by once a week to check on them, you offer them job training, you offer them like a soup kitchen type of food, and the results of having these implemented Not only in the United States, but across in other nations as well, is that 90% of the people who enter into that homeless type situation leave within a year.
Because they take advantage of the job training, they clean themselves up, and they take advantage, they get a job, and they go out of a homeless shelter situation because they want more.
The 10 percent who are left into the shelters, that's probably the least restrictive environment for them to be able to not cause public crime and to not be a problem on the street, getting injured and having to go to an emergency that's probably the least restrictive environment for them to be able to not cause public crime and to not be a problem on the street, getting injured and
So we already have solutions for this, just like with pretty much every problem that you can imagine.
But our criminally complicit corporate media will never bring that data up for public consideration.
And our political leaders, all they're going to do is just go to the next narrative about what they're ordered from their puppet masters to foist upon us as fraud.
Well, three cheers for you, Todd.
I'm very impressed.
I'm glad you made that point.
Very nice.
Brian.
Does there remain a single voice for economic responsibility left in America?
I mean, does Rand Paul even make any noise anymore?
Ron Paul?
A single voice?
We just had an emergency bank loan program from the Federal Reserve that's going to inject as much as $2 trillion.
That's $2,000 billion.
Is that right?
$200 billion?
No, $2,000 billion!
Oh, sorry.
Let's see.
Black Lives Matter is worth $83 billion.
How much is the war in Ukraine?
That was, what, so far $105 billion, and there's going to be even more after that.
We have free money for the homeless in Oregon.
Anybody get the feeling that they're absolutely planning on Collapsing this preacher from Jekyll Island program called the Federal Reserve or using it as a jumpstart to end our freedom as Americans.
Start stockpiling cash, but I have a feeling it's not going to be worth much anymore after this.
Seriously, quantitative easing I'm not like you're Mr. go to economic analysis guy.
But I know that when I get that far in debt, there's no way out except to declare bankruptcy.
Isn't that where we're headed?
I mean, it's almost like it's a foregone conclusion.
We're headed towards an absolute societal financial collapse, in which case a centralized government will come in and issue us our currency.
And then we'll have to look at our phones before we spend any money so it can verify that it's us.
And we can have to maybe even get our chip.
Who knows what's going to happen?
But I imagine that at the end of the road, hyperinflation looms.
I think you're probably spot on regarding the game plan, Brian.
Very distressing.
Very distressing.
Meanwhile, why the mental health of liberal girls sank first and fastest.
We're a decade now into the largest epidemic of adolescent mental illness ever recorded.
It's time we started treating social media like automobiles and firearms.
It may be the correct diagnosis of a problem, but is that the solution?
In May 2014, Ray Lipnov invited me to lunch to talk about something he was seeing on college campuses that disturbed him.
He's a president of FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, has worked since 2001 to defend free speech rights of college students.
That almost always meant pushing back against administrators who don't want students to cause trouble, who justify their suppression of speech with appeals to emotional safety of students—appeals the students themselves don't buy.
In late 2013, he began to encounter new cases where students were pushing to ban speakers, punish people for ordinary speech, or implement policies that would chill free speech.
They arrived on campus in the fall of 2013 already accepting the idea that books, words, and ideas could hurt them.
Why did so many students in 2013 believe this when there's little sign of such beliefs in 2011?
Greg is prone to depression, and after hospitalization for a serious episode in 2007, he learned cognitive behavioral therapy.
Namely, to recognize when your rumination and automatic thinking patterns exemplify one or more of a dozen cognitive distortions such as catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, fortune-telling, or emotional reasoning.
Thinking these ways causes depression as well as being a symptom of depression.
Breaking out of them is a cure for depression.
What Greg saw in 2013 were students justifying the suppression of speech and the punishment of dissent using the exact distortion Greg had learned to free himself from.
Students were saying that an unorthodox speaker on campus would cause severe harm to vulnerable students, catastrophizing, that they were using their emotions to prove that a text should be removed from a syllabus, emotional reasoning,
Greg hypothesized that if colleges supported the use of these cognitive distortions rather than teaching students skills of critical thinking, which is basically what CBT amounts to, then this could cause students to become depressed.
Greg feared colleges were performing reverse CBT.
I thought the idea brilliant because I just began to see these new ways of thinking among students at NYU.
I volunteered to help him write it up in our essay we heard in August of 2015 in The Atlantic, Coddling of the American Mind.
Greg didn't like the title.
His original suggestion was arguing toward misery, how gamblers teach, cognitive distortions.
He wanted to put the reverse CBT hypothesis in the title.
After our essay was published, things got worse.
The fall of 2015 marked the beginning of a period of protests and high-profile conflicts on campus, leading many or most universities to implement policies embedding this new way of thinking into campus culture, with administrative explanations such as bias response teams to investigate reports of microaggression.
Surveys began to show most students and professors felt they had a self-censor.
The phrase, walking on eggshells, became common.
Trust in higher ed plummeted, along with the joy of intellectual discovery and sense of goodwill that had marked university life throughout my career.
Here's the same data saying the three main effects—gender, women of higher age, Youngest groups higher in politics, liberals higher.
The graphs also show how three two-way interactions, young women higher, liberal women higher, young liberals higher, and there's an important three-way interaction.
It is the young liberal women who are the highest.
They are so high, a majority of us have been told that they have a mental health condition.
In recent weeks, since the publication of the CDC report on the high and rising rates of depression and anxiety among teens, there's been a lot of attention to a different study showing gender-by-politics interaction in times of politics and depression, diverging trends, and internalizing symptoms among U.S.
adolescents by political belief.
Grimbone et al.
examined trends in the Monitoring the Future dataset, which is the only major U.S.
survey of adolescents asking high school student seniors to self-identify as liberal or conservative using a five-point scale.
The survey also asked four items about mood and depression.
Kim Bone found that prior to 2012, there were no sex differences, and only modest between liberals and conservatives.
But beginning in 2012, the liberal girls began to rise, and they rose the most.
The other three groups followed suit, though none rose as much in absolute terms as the liberal girls, who rose 0.73 points in 2010 on a 5-point scale, where the standard deviation is 0.89.
Here, depression by gender in politics.
The others try to explain the fact that liberals rise first and most in terms of the terrible things that conservatives were doing during Obama's second term, for example.
Liberal adolescents may have therefore experienced alienation within a growing conservative political climate, such that their mental health suffered in comparison to that of their conservative peers, whose hegemonic views were flourishing.
The progressive New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg took up the question, wrote a superb essay making the argument, teen mental health is not and must not become a partisan issue.
She dismissed Gimpo's explanation as having a poor fit with her own data.
Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012.
In 2013, the Supreme Court extended gay marriage rights.
It was hard to draw a direct link between that period of political events and teenage oppression, which in 2012 started an increase that has continued unabated until today.
After examining the evidence, including the fact that the same trends happened at the same time as Britain, Canada, and Australia, Goldberg concluded that technology, not politics, was what changed in all these countries around 2012.
That was the year Facebook bought Instagram, and the word selfie entered the popular lexicon.
Jonas Mantt-Iglesias took up the puzzle of why liberal girls became more depressed than others.
And in a long and self-reflective Substack Post, he described what he learned about depression from his own struggles involving many kinds of treatment, like Michelle Goldberg.
He briefly concerned the hypothesis that liberals are depressed because they're the only ones who see that we're living in a late-stage capitalist hellscape during an ongoing deadly pandemic.
We recorded wealth inequality, zero safety net, job security as climate change cooks a whirl.
To quote a tweet from Washington Post tech columnist Taylor Lorenz, Iglesias agreed with Goldberg and other writers that the Lorenz explanation, reality makes Gen Z depressed, doesn't fit the data.
And because of his knowledge of depression, He focused on the reverse path.
Depression makes reality look terrible, as he put it.
Mentally processing ambiguous events with a negative spin is just what depression is.
We're now 11 years into the largest epidemic of adolescent mental illness ever recorded.
I know so many families who have been thrown into fear and turmoil by a child's attempted suicide.
You probably do, too, given a recent CDC report says 1 in 10 adolescents now say they've made an attempt to kill themselves.
It is hitting all political and demographic groups.
The evidence is abundant that social media is a major cause of the epidemic, and perhaps the major cause.
It's time we started treating social media and other apps designed for engagement—that is, addiction—like alcohol, tobacco, and gambling, or because they can harm society as well as their users, perhaps like automobiles and firearms.
Adults should have wide latitude to make their own choices.
But legislators and governors that care about mental health, women's health, or children's health need to step up.
Carl, your thoughts?
We do live in an empire of censorship, and they have to censor, because the truth shows that they're criminal liars.
The Twitter files have done a great job of doing that, and what our opponents are attempting to do, and have attempted to do, is to take a narrative saying that, oh, well, see, if you bring up those topics, they are inherently disturbing and depressing, and you can't talk about any of them, Because it dishonors the victim's families?
And that's how they roll.
And insofar as they'll take out the most dangerous mind of America, Jim Fetzer, by hauling his ass into court and saying, The alleged fake death certificate that Jim shared from the father of an alleged victim on its face must be rejected because it is traumatizing to the victims.
And then on top of that, you got to have another layer of censorship, which says, I don't care how many expert witnesses that you have with document forgeries to be able to demonstrate that it doesn't match the definition of a death certificate.
It doesn't matter.
We're not going to allow you to present any evidence.
We're not going to allow a jury This is so insensitive, we're just going to declare you guilty right now, and the only thing that the jury is going to determine is how much you have to pay.
That's how bad it has gotten.
Let's see, oh, so they can't have any examination of the facts.
They have to keep the narrative emotional, and they'll come up with talking points about that, about how it's so inherently disturbing to consider any narrative other than the official ones.
You can't challenge it.
And the mental health condition, we all, see, if and when we win, There will be such a release of the fear and the lies.
We're all suffering from this, but the people who are suffering the most are the ones who believe corporate media, who cling on to, and their job is to propagandize these narratives.
And because the amount of narratives are increasing, then the people who believe this think that they live in a world Of racism, of mass shootings, of Russia interfering with our elections, of global pandemics.
They think that we live in a world where in Syria, in Ukraine, there's threats of nuclear war again.
The bailouts that somehow something is attacking our fundamentally strong Well, that's very interesting.
I have a simpler hypothesis.
that the people who believe more of those narratives, which is going to be from the left, of course they're going to suffer more because they're believing the world is as they're being lied to to see it.
Well, that's very interesting, girl.
I have a simpler hypothesis.
Obama and Michelle have been promoting gender dysphoria, They're all for the trans.
They're all for, you know, women and men being able to declare themselves to be women and compete in women's sports.
I would be willing to bet that has more to do with this oppression among young women than any other factor.
Brian?
I would say the depression among young women is the hyper-sexualized environment that they live in.
The problem with cognitive dissonance is that sooner or later you have to take the red pill or take the blue pill.
And so when that gap between what you're taught and what you feel is real becomes greater, great enough, then you've got to make a switch.
If you look back in time, Look at the protesters of the 60s and even the early 70s, the hippie movement.
These people were doing something important for society.
And I think that the military-industrial complex learned a good lesson from that.
Don't ever let people become empowered by the truth again, which is why they've been locked in this fog of delusion.
I mean, look at these kids running around trying to create their safe spaces, worried about Halloween costumes and worried about You know, college campuses, you know, kids are being banned from handing out constitutions on college campuses.
It's just terrible what's going on.
And the problem is, as that gap gets larger, you either have to make peace with it and deal with it and recognize it as the truth, or you continue to find yourself in conflict, which I imagine leads to suicide.
If you combine that with a sense of, oh, we're worthless, we're just Endlessly cascading through outer space with no purpose and we came here because we emerged from the primordial ooze and we're meaningless and nothing.
You combine all that together it just doesn't make sense.
It leads to a sense of somebody's got to tell me the truth.
So I take a lot of Satisfaction in hearing that the gap is widening.
Not in the idea that people are going to commit suicide, but in the idea that the pressure is building in their young minds to such an extent that this is becoming a real problem.
Because I think what's going to happen is that they're going to have to, they're going to hit the wall.
And the wall means they're going to have to face reality or go find the reality that actually lines up with nature.
And that's the thing is, when you go out in nature, there's no lie in nature.
It's all truth.
Everything you learn, everything you can observe and document from observing and working within nature is 100% true.
So that becomes the standard.
The rest of it is philosophy and different thinking and logic.
Those are all components of it.
But at the end of the day, Finding truth is the key to finding peace.
And I think kids just don't have any idea what truth is anymore, because they live in this digital environment that is all about sex and music and different things that drag you down.
There's going to be a revolution in America, and it's going to start with our kids.
Excellent comments from you both.
Really, really excellent.

Here's Something of note.
Who funds Black Lives Matter?
George Soros.
Is he Muslim?
Is he Chinese?
Is he Mexican?
Oh, you don't think he's Jewish?
Of course he's Jewish!
Okay, who else is Jewish?
He's a great guy, too, by the way.
He's a great guy.
Yeah, he funds all sorts of charitable work for you.
Go to Thailand and see what they say about him when he crashed their economy, fucking retard.
Kind of embarrassing to think anybody believes that George Soros is a good guy, but there it is.
Let's go to our final thoughts.
- Don't fuck off, liberal fag. - What? - Kind of embarrassing to think anybody believes that George Soros is a good guy, but there it is.
Let's go to our final thoughts.
Carl, yours. - Well, the degree of censorship, our opponents, they wanna have the least pressure put on, the least expenditure of energy and effect in order to enact censorship But if that doesn't work, they'll whack people.
If you take a look at MLK, Dr. King was whacked, in the family's opinion, in his last stop in Memphis in 1968 before The poor people's campaign, he would march to Washington D.C.
in the way Gandhi did have a march and his intention was for a million people to occupy Washington D.C.
until the Vietnam War was ended and those funds were redirected to end poverty within America.
That certainly couldn't be allowed.
And the civil trial of Dr. King, led by the King family in 1999, was a unanimous jury vote that the U.S.
government assassinated Martin.
I'll go ahead and put a link in the show notes for that.
For RFK, he got whacked.
He was too much of a threat to be president, and he would have been president in 1968.
So, the threat to the Vietnam War, and more importantly, the threat to bring up the assassination of his brother.
And his brother, he took on the Vietnam War, he took on energy, and he took on the Fed, among other topics.
And so, our opponents, if censorship doesn't work, then they'll go to assassination.
So, for the final thought, we are now in the middle of March.
Hang in there.
I think that we're going to have some sort of a breakthrough this month.
And the breakthrough could start out being super scary.
It may be something on the war front.
It may be more on paper collapse of our financial systems and any collapse of the financial system.
Remember, that's only on paper.
The real things are human engineer ingenuity, the human labor and the natural resources.
That's what needs to be set free instead of working for these psychopaths.
So as always, feel confident, have your facts so that you can point to enough in the background to justify the withdrawal of consent and the demand for arrests.
I can't, I have never heard an argument that would talk me out of the stand for demanding arrests because that is the lawful tool to stop an apparent crime in progress.
And there are an abundance of apparent crimes in progress ongoingly centered in war, what we use for money and constant lying.
Right.
Ryan, your final thoughts?
Biden conquer is not a new concept.
It's been being used by government agitators for a long, long time.
I read a post earlier today by a woman named Lily Tang Williams, who is a survivor of Mao's cultural revolution.
Tell me if any of this sounds familiar.
Mao started The Cultural Revolution to Purge His Political Enemies and Become a Supreme Leader.
His Campaign Slogan was to Destroy the Four Olds, Traditional Ideas, Culture, Habits, and Customs.
He Created an Arbitrary Division of Society by Using Critical Class Theory which Divided society into the oppressors are the five black classes and the oppressed the five red classes they used quasi-religious indoctrination of urban youth red guards to shut down schools for years and to do class struggles full-time to promote division hatred envy and equity they toppled down statutes putting big posters and spray paintings on the walls
They instigated riots, looting, and violence.
Law enforcement was told to stand down.
They changed the school and street names, changed the words and definition, censored words, burned relics.
They created public struggle sessions, publicly shaming and denouncing and self-criticizing and apologizing.
Does this sound familiar?
Black Lives Matter kneeling at their knees.
Guilty at birth, by relationship, by association, past words or deeds, You lose jobs if you don't comply.
Silence is violence.
Family and neighbors turn on each other.
Children were told parents are not dearer than Mao.
Redefining social norms.
Promoting unisex genderless society.
Girls dressed like boys and soldiers.
create confusion and social chaos, ban dating in schools, press and media were controlled by the CCP and used for propaganda daily to cancel individual merits and silent dissents and use mob tactics of fear, intimidation, torture, and violence.
None of this is new, what they're doing to us here in America.
The only cure is the break out of the matrix You have to break loose and see who they are and what they are before you can find the right side to be on.
I believe we're on the right side.
And I believe that fighting by exercising our free speech rights and being on this forum is the best, most effective way to stand up to them, peacefully, for now.
The time will come when violence has to take place and hopefully we're in shape and we're prepared to handle that when that happens.
But I think right now it's just waking up the soul and waking up the mind is the right way to go.
Well, I'm very grateful to Carl Herman and Brian Davidson for the excellence of their commentary, extremely stimulating from diverse points of view.
Benedict Arnold was not the greatest trader in the history of the United States.
We've got four candidates before us right now.
Their names are Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schirmer, Mike Pence, and Mitch McConnell.
They have betrayed the country.
They participated in a coup.
They violated the Constitution.
They are among the greatest, if not the greatest, traitors in the history of the United States.
They wanted to defeat Trump.
They wanted to keep him out of office.
And they put in a muddled-minded, phony fraud, diaper-wearing pedophile whose first action was to destroy the XL Pipeline, deny federal permits to drill on federal land, to make us energy-dependent once again, to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve,
To unleash the borders, millions of hordes pouring in now, destroying the economy, engaging in a meaningless war in a distant and corrupt land for their own benefit and taking massive sums of money in kickbacks.
The American people, putting the pieces together, will find this unforgivable.
These are four of the most repulsive figures ever to ascend to high prominence in Washington, D.C.
The swamp creatures have struck back.
We must clean the swamp.
We must get Trump back.
But to do that, you have to get rid of electronic voting machines, or we're only going to have more of the same.
He's spoken out in favor of photo IDs for voting.
Absolutely right.
But unless we can get rid of these goddamn voting machines, we're going to be stuck and imperiled, and America is going to continue to descend into oblivion.
By means of internal factors betraying the principles on which this great country was founded.
Think about it.
This must end, and now.
Spend as much time as you can with your family, your friends, the people you love and care about.
