This is Jim Fetzer, Madison, 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.
A lot going on out there.
For leading Republicans, Biden has sent cluster bombs to Ukraine.
These, of course, have been banned by over 100 countries.
This is really quite outrageous.
To the harm they cause to civilians, cluster bombs have been banned by over 100 countries under the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munition, but Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S.
are not signatories.
The letter to Biden was signed by Michael McCaul, Republican of Texas, Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Mike Rogers of Alabama, Chair of the House Armed Services Committee, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Jim Raj, Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Shame on them!
This is outrageous!
The U.S.
has been asking for the USSN cluster bombs and an artillery version, as well as an air-delivered.
Both the Russian and Ukrainian forces have used them in the war.
Kiev used them earlier in Donbass.
The Republican lawmakers urge him to send them, including the dual-purpose improved conventional munitions, which have several types of variants.
According to the lawmakers, the U.S.
has three million rounds of these available.
Wow!
They argue sending the widely banned munition could alleviate pressure on other U.S.
stockpiles.
Meanwhile, rather interesting piece, French political party leader Florian Filippov believes it's long been obvious the U.S.
was behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline.
Even before the war in Ukraine, the U.S.
fought against Nord Stream.
It was a permanent part of their policy.
In early February 2022, Biden said the Americans could make it that the pipeline was no more, and that's what happened.
And it was in the interest of the Americans, according to Villopa, who heads the right-wing Patriot Party in France.
Last month, of course.
Seymour Hersh reported Biden personally ordered the bombing of the pipeline in Norway assisted in the sabotage.
He cited an unnamed source.
Support his case using some of the same arguments.
Biden remarked there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2 during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Schultz during early February 22.
Ersh also observed Biden allowed U.S.
special services to classify the operation in a way that justified not informing Congress beforehand.
We know about Nord Stream 1 and 2.
Philippon said he considered U.S.
compatibility obvious even before Hirsch's revelation, but he was unsure about Norway's role.
He reasoned Oslo had a motive, since it competes with Russian gas trade.
Many European nations replace Russian gas with Norwegian.
He also urged France to leave NATO, saying the alliance needs to be disbanded because it has no reason to exist.
We have to stop this agenda.
World War against Russia and China is absolutely insane, he told the Russian news outlet.
He also called upon President Emmanuel Macron.
He called him a deceitful leader of France.
His government prioritizes the U.S., not its own people.
Carl, your thoughts?
The historian jumps out at me first to remind our audience that the U.S.
is not a constitutional republic of a limited government under the Constitution underneath inalienable rights as promised, but the best academic label I can give to it is a lying, looting, illegal, rogue state empire that has committed over 200 armed attacks on other countries since World War II and are well in opposition to any lawful legal
Reason to intervene and these armed attacks have killed more than 30 million people.
So the idea that the U.S.
engages in illegal wars of aggression and then commits war crimes within those wars is business as usual.
This is a crime du jour with the cluster bombs and as usual, There's no need to worry about the current crime du jours and, gee, is that we already have sufficient legal background to withdraw consent and demand arrest.
And for Nord Stream, well, of course, the U.S.
military was on site right above where those explosions occurred conducting exercises, as usual.
And they had all of the testimony in place beforehand threatening Russia, and then they did exactly what they promised, including the President of the United States saying that they would not have Nord Stream happening.
So this is terrorism as usual, just the terrorist act du jour by this rogue state empire that the U.S.
has become.
Right.
Well, on the first one, more bombs to Ukraine.
Surprise, surprise.
The Uniparty strikes again and wants to bypass Congress for more funding and put over bigger, better bombs in Ukraine.
As for the Nord Stream Pipeline, Seymour Hersh came out and doubled down on his article related to it, and he and the French politician said that it was a total fabrication by American intelligence that was passed along to the Germans and aimed at discrediting your story.
In other words, the CIA did the same thing it did to Gary Webb and many others, which is once a story comes out and Seymour Hersh comes and covers it, they put out a bunch of fabricated stories that they've had to devise and planted in their controlled media to run it in opposite directions.
It's so obvious to everybody that knows that's watching this, even Yep, yep.
Europeans and foreigners all over the world that we blew up the Nord Stream pipeline even after we said that we were going to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline.
So that's exactly what we did.
And now the CIA is trying to run cover.
I don't think they even care anymore.
I think the money game is such a massive play and they just don't care.
They don't care what it looks like.
They don't care what it feels like.
And when you control DC and you control the politicians, you really don't have to worry about opposition.
Yep.
Yep.
I think you got it.
Exactly. - Exactly right.
Meanwhile, America's newest generation of illegal chemical weapons.
We seem to be going many places we shouldn't be going.
According to the Russian military, the U.S.
is developing chemical weapons that are highly toxic of granophosphorus compounds.
FOS is a common group of compounds used as household and agricultural insecticides, as well as chemical warfare agents.
The most obvious are a whole list here of very toxic drugs.
Industrial granulophosphates are nerve horizons that cause death within the first hours of contact.
By acting on the central nervous system, FOS can cause convulsions, loss of sensitivity to light, loss of balance, impaired consciousness, loss of speech, coma.
Poison can easily enter the body through the skin, stomach, or respiratory tract.
You can breathe it in.
Combat agents of the FOS Group were first synthesized in Germany in 1930 and are prohibited from production and storage by the 1993 Chemical Weapon Convention.
In the most significant quantities, they were present in arsenals in the USSR and the USA, but Russia completely destroyed its stockpiles in 2017.
The U.S.
promised to complete by 2023, but the U.S.
doesn't follow through on any of its promises.
No matter how solemn, treaties, whatever, the U.S.
word cannot be trusted.
In the U.S.
Armed Forces, 1.5mm unguided rockets were used as delivery vehicles for nerve agents.
Their launching was carried out by a towed M91 launcher specifically designed.
Aviation is also capable of delivering these over much larger targets.
On May 19th of 2022, the Department of Defense announced the destruction of the last M55 missile with VX nerve agent warhead, but I don't think you can believe that either.
Destruction of the VX M55 missile began at the Blue Grass Army Depot on July 9th of 2021.
Assembled Chemical Weapon Alternatives is responsible for the safe and environmentally sound destruction of the remaining U.S.
chemical weapon stockpiles stored at the U.S.
Army Pueblo Chemical Depot in Colorado and the Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky, the Pentagon said, noting the U.S.
is moving toward the complete destruction of its chemical weapons by September 30, 2023.
Assembled Chemical Weapon Alternatives, however, is not allowed to know how U.S.
military chemists are fulfilling their commitment to the complete destruction of chemical weapons, and they have something to hide.
The Pentagon report does not indicate that the organization confirmed the destruction of the last missile.
Former members of the UN Commission on Biological Weapons told Russia the destruction without control and confirmation is not considered to be destruction, meaning it's not official and it's probably not reliable.
He also expressed doubts about the neutrality of the OPCW, which retains its control functions, but for neutrality, I would argue.
They have a mandate to control the destruction of chemical weapons in Iraq.
The U.S.
uses phosphorus shells, but they have nothing for it.
Israel also uses them.
Some can, some can't.
That would be white phosphorus, which will burn right through your body.
The Chemical Weapon Convention entered into force in 1997.
In Russia, the last chemical weapon ammo was destroyed in September of 2017 and had been confirmed by the instructors.
The Pentagon, on the other hand, several times pushed back the deadline from 2007 to 2012, then 17, then 21, and finally to 2023.
to 2012, then 17, then 21, and finally to 2023.
We're not going to do it.
You beat U.S.
has repeatedly and without evidence accused Russia and Syria of using chemical weapons, but in October of 2018, an international coalition led by the U.S.
attacked the Syrian city of Hajin using white phosphorus.
In early September this same year, the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in Syria reported two American F-15s attacked Hajin with phosphorus shells.
Here, of course, you can see this is in Vietnam.
November 2019 Wikipedia published an email to verify the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian city of Douma.
The author expressed his deepest concern about the presence of international advice assessments in the redacted version of the OPCW report.
The other claims the redacted part misrepresent facts he and his colleagues found at the scene.
That key facts remaining in the redacted version have transformed into something seemingly completely different from the original text.
In other words, by doing the redaction, they reverse the apparent meaning.
According to WikiLeaks, the falsification of the report was carried out at the direction of the Office of the Organization Director General, a Turkish diplomat.
On the territory of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, the U.S.
used various agents, herbicide defoliants, highly toxic incendiary mixtures.
By 2017, American aircraft had dropped 71,921 tons of herbicide and defoliants in South Vietnam, according to the U.S.
National Academy of Sciences.
That figure included 42,472 of Agent Orange contain impurities of diopsin, a potent poison for humans and animals.
In addition to tactical herbicide, the Americans use napalm.
The military also uses, which ignores spontaneous in the open air.
It's a jellified version, of course.
The gasoline that are captured on your body will burn you to death.
For years, the bloody war in Southeast Asia was considered America's shame, but the American Pentagon had backed it the old ways, now based on the latest advances in military chemistry.
Carl, your thoughts?
The U.S.
demands that other nations comply with the rule of law and comply with inspections of biological, nuclear, and chemical research and development facilities.
Except there's just one thing about that, Stan.
The U.S.
does not allow any inspections of our chemical, biological, and nuclear Development and production sites.
So this is, again, business as usual.
The most stunning type of a weapon that the US is in violation of treaty is the non-proliferation treaty.
That treaty simply states, hey, those nuclear weapons, those are really bad.
So you need to, like, scale back on all those until they're all gone.
The U.S.
does the exact opposite.
More research and development so that the nuclear weapons become ever more effective in killing people.
And for the illegal weapons, oh yeah, the U.S.
deploys those.
I wrote a 40-page white paper that Congressman Kucinich used in the failed attempt to impeach Bush and Cheney, and there is abundant documentation of those war crimes.
Within that illegal war, and I want to just point out that Israel likes to use white phosphorus as well.
The OPCW.
So, you know, Russia says you can't trust the OPCW.
That's right!
Because 20 years ago, in 2003, when the rhetoric was building that Saddam had biological and chemical weapons with the intent to use them, the director of OPCW reached out to Saddam and said, Why don't you work with our office now so we can diffuse this?
If you're telling the truth, or even if you're lying, we need to de-escalate this.
The U.S.
demanded that that director be fired for the misguided, unauthorized talk to Saddam that he actually should comply to get rid of those biological weapons.
And then the U.S., of course, just kept that as rhetoric as one of the reasons for That's why I started Illegal War of Aggression.
Well, we've had some appalling methods of war over the years.
We had the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, the war in Afghanistan, and the Iraq War, all where the United States used massive quantities of chemical and biological weapons, as well as cluster bombs, fuel air bombs, graphite bombs, and depleted uranium bombs.
We've caused enormous damage to civilian facilities and Countless civilian casualties and long-lasting environmental pollution just about everywhere we've gone, but Those are just chemical weapons.
They just kill the body.
Think about what the U.S.
has been doing in terms of the minds of men and the quiet, silent weapons of propaganda that they've been deploying against entire populations year in and year out.
They're really more concerned with controlling our minds, and if they can't control our minds, then they'll need to take out our bodies.
So, when I see the U.S.
escalate and decide that it's chemical weapons that they need to eat, Deploy that it becomes obvious that their propaganda is no longer working.
So you can expect the United States to continue to operate on this path as long as they have MSNBC and CNN and NBC and ABC controlling your mind.
They have no need to deploy real weapons on you.
A lot of people don't believe COVID was real at all, or at least if it was, it wasn't what they said it was.
That was a Supposed or a type of weapon that was released from a lab on the American people, but COVID didn't bother anybody compared to the propaganda that put us inside of our house and had us put masks on and take our kids out of school and hide from our neighbors.
So in my mind, the real thing that we need to focus on is The propaganda and the mental weapons that they use to try to control the population.
We have to call these people out for who they are and what they are.
And the only way that's going to happen is with a mass awakening or a mass enlightenment about their lies and continually talking about and exposing their lies over and over and over until their mind weapons don't work on us anymore.
And they're going to have to go to straight up Very sobering thoughts.
And of course, cluster bombs, Agent Orange, even napalm, not to mention white phosphorus, all horrendous weapons of war that should never be used and are generally internationally banned, but the United States continues to resort to them.
Will they or won't they, is Trump's imminent arrest coming soon?
Well, it looks like I called that one wrong.
Last week I mused it was incredibly unlikely they'd try to indict a president over the ridiculous and fake Stormy Daniels case.
Sorry about that.
I always underestimate the power of Trump Derangement Syndrome and the effect it has on liberal reasoning skills.
Indicting Trump over being extorted by Stormy Daniels sounds like the height of crazy, so of course that's the option the Democrats are going to run with, or are they?
Trump was tipped off about his looming arrest on Saturday evening, boasted about it on Truth Social.
He fully expected to be arrested Tuesday by the New York Attorney General's Office for a misdemeanor campaign finance violation related to him being extorted by an over-the-hill porn star.
The world exploded over the weekend.
Democrats were all giddy about the idea of Trump finally being arrested.
Meanwhile, out in the rest of America, sales of rope, pitchforks, and torches skyrocketed.
Then on late Sunday, everyone started pumping the brakes just a bit.
The grand jury in New York supposedly has one more witness to interview.
This person likely another Trump attorney and President Trump says the guy has exculpatory information that will likely result in him not being charged.
He probably shouldn't be so optimistic about that since his enemies hate him so much and are, for all intents and purposes, crazy.
This is the exact case that Stormy Daniels lost to Donald Trump in civil court last year.
She had admitted on the stand and under oath that she'd never had relation with Trump.
The relations with Trump, as she alleged, it was a total extortion of a presidential campaign.
Why, she wasn't immediately arrested as a mystery.
She had seized the one who broke the law.
She was ordered to pay almost $300,000 in Trump legal fees after losing the case, prompting the joke that Trump is so amazing that strippers pay him.
The crime Trump is accused of is a simple misappropriation of campaign funds for something non-campaign related.
Trump wasn't even aware that his deputy lawyer, Michael Cohen, had paid the extortion fee that a professional whore was demanding.
Misbending campaign funds happens all the time, and no one ever gets arrested for it.
Cricket Hillary and the DNC paid Kirkens-Foy more than a million for the fake Russian potty dossier in 2016.
They paid a fine for misbending campaign funds.
Nobody got arrested for that misdemeanor, despite the fact that it embroiled the country in a years-long witch-hunt and subverted American foreign policy.
Barack Obama has paid fines for illegally misspending campaign funds.
Bill and Hillary Clinton paid Paula Jones $850,000 to try to shut her up.
She was a campaign staffer who was invited to then-Governor Bill Clinton's Arkansas campaign office, where he took out his you-know-what and told her to kiss it.
Such classy people, those Clintons.
Nobody ever goes to jail for mismanaging campaign funds.
That just doesn't happen.
But with Trump, we're expected to make believe that this is normal.
The fat, jolly DA of New York was a handcuffed President Trump, perk-walking in front of the world, and then fingerprinting with CNN and NBC cameras in the booking room.
This is totally normal.
No one is above the law.
Give me a break.
The interesting thing is who is willing to speak out against this monstrous miscarriage of justice against our beloved president.
Mike Pence has issued a weak statement opposing it, so credit where credit is due.
Presidential candidate Rick Biswami has called it a dark time in American history, calling on the fat New York DA to pull back from this insanity before it's too late.
Michael Rahm saw me a candidate because at Gallupuddy's he's really on Team Trump and angling to become Secretary of the Treasury.
Carl, your thoughts?
The longer that I engage in the Great Awakening, 46 years now, the more that I see that we're just messengers and we're offering choice.
And the choice becomes ever more clear to make.
So on one side, you got these people who claim to be upholding the rule of law, but their background
Is that they engage in lawfare against Trump, and that was demonstrated by the factless Russiagate, the crimeless impeachment, the Mar-a-Lago raid, and now this, a case dismissed a year ago where the Daniels and the disgraced lawyer, who is now Avenatti, who is now in prison for extortion.
So that's the case that they're going to run with, huh?
You know, it seems like they're not even trying anymore.
It seems like somebody else is writing their lines, even, I would say.
Now, the other choice, of course, is just to admit the truth, is that the U.S.
is this rogue state lying, looting empire, a la election fraud.
Of course, all the most dire consequences we are subject to.
And despite the joviality that I communicate, you know, the stakes are deadly serious and we must communicate.
And until we get this breakthrough for the truth and the arrest, of course, all the most dire consequences we are subject to.
So it is a paradox where it is a tragic comedy.
A friend called me this morning and said, actually, Cohen paid a fine.
Trump didn't know about Trump.
Trump never repaid Cohen, so Trump never even paid Stormy Daniels himself.
Brian.
Well, Donald Trump, to me, is the example of what forged in fire looks like.
I mean, the guy has had hard times and he's had tough times, but for some reason, he gets stronger every time they attack him.
And they're finding out that they have no path to victory.
And because the media is so focused on him, he gets all the propaganda, whether it's good propaganda or bad propaganda, it all comes down on him.
And the harder they fight, the stronger he gets.
It reminds me of growing up and fighting with my older brother, the guy just, he just...
Put up a fight.
He just always put up a fight.
What happens by the time I made it to high school, I was one of the toughest kids in the game.
I mean, we had to, we had to duke it out and, and play us a very, very tough game.
As a result, Donald Trump has, has had obviously good times and easy times, but he's also had hard times when he walked by the, uh, the, The homeless guy with Melania, was it Melania?
I think it was, no, Ivanka.
And Ivanka pointed at the homeless guy in New York and says, well, see that guy, he doesn't have a penny to his name.
How sad.
Donald Trump turns to her and he says, well, he's got $60 million more than I do.
So Trump has had hard times.
I'm glad he's had to fight out the diversity.
New York is not for the weak of hearted.
But it's obvious that this Manhattan DA is just simply trying to fulfill a promise that he made to one of his donors.
And he promised that he would go out and get Trump.
So he's got to put all his time and energy into it in order to continue to get his support.
It's going to backfire on these people.
And the harder they kick, the harder Donald Trump is going to kick against their goats.
Nice points.
I think that's right.
Some commentators are suggesting this would guarantee that Trump gets re-elected, but I say only if we have honest election with paper ballots and hand counts.
Meanwhile, the Trump campaign is preparing for the new normal running while under indictment, though at this point I do not believe it will happen.
The escalating criminal jeopardy confronting Trump has restored him to his political comfort zone, according to advisers and allies, counterattacking, with prominent Republicans largely behind him.
The former president of the campaign isn't waiting for an official indictment or arrest to deploy an aggressive political response.
Alright, criticizing New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg and key witness Michael Cohen has trumped a lot further attacks.
Advisers are moving to capitalize on coverage in conservative media outlets, raising over one and a half mil since Saturday.
The campaign is also working to turn the case into pressure on Trump's primary rivals to take questions about Trump and risk the blowback of offering anything less than full-throated support.
In particular, the campaign has wrapped up attacks on Governor DeSantis, Florida, Trump's top competitor in the early 2024 primaries.
He took his biggest swipe at Trump so far Monday by distancing himself from the New York case's lewd circumstances, even as he attacked it as politically motivated.
As the investigation into Trump's role in hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels nears an appropriate conclusion, Trump advisors and others familiar, many of whom speaking on anonymity, are relishing expressions of support from Republicans all across the party.
The overall result is familiar, and in his advisor's assessment, favorable terrain for Trump, the center of attention, the dominant figure of his party, and on offense.
An advisor in private with, well, potential pitfalls.
The campaign hadn't worked out the logistics of mounting a presidential run and facing a criminal trial, possibly more than one.
With ongoing probes in Fulton County, Georgia, under Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith, it's never been attempted by a candidate from a major party.
Whatever plans they make could be swiftly abandoned by the candidate himself, when he's surprised his own gruggy advisor Saturday by announcing on social media it could be arrested as early as Tuesday.
The campaign is separate from Trump's legal team.
The two do not always act in concert.
The candidate is not always taking advice from either.
The Trump campaign is aiming to position the potential prosecution as the latest politicized witch hunt targeting the former president.
This will amount to an attack on all Republicans who force everyone to pick a side.
You don't find them around him as a leader before they have the chance to review the allegations.
This is the new normal.
The resident has-been-battle-tested Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Chong said.
The operation has been fine-tuned since 2016.
Stephen, with these types of news cycles, you learn to get good at it.
We have a full-spectrum response operation on the campaign that can deal with anything that comes our way.
While Trump's team expects a continued boost in fundraising, polling, and conservative following a potential indictment, similar to a reaction to the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's unprecedented legal turmoil could be a drag on him and other Republicans in the general election.
One party familiar said there have been many discussions on whether the indictment makes it more likely others will follow.
Several see some of the other cases as more legally perilous.
Meanwhile, let me add, polls show Trump increasingly pulling away from DeSantis to dominate the 2024 GOP primary.
The Politico-Morning Consult Bulletin has shown a definite and concrete trend in polling.
Trump is going up and up, DeSantis down and down.
It's not just a blip on the radar.
Look at this.
On January 2nd, Trump 45, DeSantis 34.
He was up by 11.
February 25th, Trump 48 to Santas 30.
He was up by 18.
March 14th, Trump 52 to Santas 28, up by 24.
March 19th, Trump 54 to Santas 26, up by 28.
March 14th, Trump 52, DeSantis 28, up by 24.
March 19th, Trump 54, DeSantis 26, up by 28.
I've seen polls raise up as much as 41 points over DeSantis.
Sending aside the usual disclaimers, the trend line is strong.
A 28% margin is an enormous number, given the expectations.
My own scientific explanations for this?
First, Trump speaks on national issues to Sanders.
While being easily America's best governor, he's yet to really delve into national issues.
Two, Trump is correctly seen as a man the Democrats and media fear the most.
Three, it is very early.
Going back to point two.
Democrats polled and continue to poll unprecedented shenanigans to stop Trump.
Five.
Republicans are finally beginning to realize the true scope of the illegality and depravity of the permanent government, also known as the Deep State.
Trump is their public enemy.
Number one.
Six.
The Saskatchewan plaudits from establishment figures like Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush.
Trump receives only their hate.
Seven.
More people are beginning to look at DeSantis' largely forgotten record in Congress, which includes conservative no-nos like supporting the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Obviously, there's much more to these numbers.
Another factor is what simply troubles an expert at neutralizing his competition.
When Republicans try to take him on, they inevitably get schlonged.
Here's a tweet.
Bannon on DeSantis' decision to open fire on Trump while the deep state is trying to throw him in jail.
DeSantis has no sense of timing, history, or importance of this movement.
That's because he is not mega.
So true, Steve.
To his credit, DeSantis had long refused to take the bait from Trump, but it changed this week.
When he attacked Trump during an interview with Piers Morgan.
On the eve of his possible arrest by a vindictive Democrat crony in New York City, not a good look.
As Rusty Weiss of the Political Insider notes, and indeed, the Senate has taken quite a few shots.
Beginning with commentary on the chaos Trump allegedly brings to the table and that, in his view, is notably absent in his government.
In terms of my approach to leadership, I get personnel in government who have the agenda of the people and share our agenda.
You bring your own agenda in, you're gone.
We're just not going to have that, he told Morgan.
So, the way we run the government, I think, is no daily drama.
Focus on the big picture and put points on the board.
I think that's something that's very important.
Now, this is actually a fair criticism from DeSantis.
Trump's support of Biggest Beef has been Trump's seeming insistence on hiring people who hate his guts and everything he stands for and work tirelessly to thwart the Trump agenda.
But the timing was terrible.
This is going to harm DeSantis, I have no doubt whatsoever, Carl.
It will.
It will.
So for the first story, we are talking about ongoing lawfare against Trump.
And the people conducting the lawfare are war criminals and criminals against humanity.
But they have owned every agency that they need within the government, within the executive branch, and with the judicial branch to uphold them.
That is, until there's some collapse, emperor's new clothes moment for that.
But what we see is the one side, again, the polarity of the choice and the ease of the choice and the strength of our position, because it's so easy to choose the truth and the lies are so ridiculous.
So you got the war criminals and the criminals against humanity conducting lawfare.
Okay.
Those are also the ones conducting election fraud.
Okay.
And I'm sure that they're engaged in assassination attempts.
And on the other side, this is the Great Awakening, and instead of the lawfare, we're just engaged with defense.
And Brian made a good point, is that every one of these pathetic attacks against him does put Trump in a stronger position, and I don't think it's an accident that those polls reflect it.
For the election fraud, you know, there's big guns waiting to go off to prove this case.
So far, it has just been attempts that courts have thrown out for standing and for legalese, while overall, since just going back to 2020, The court system has demonstrated itself to be dark by refusing to be a venue for that legitimate evidence to be heard.
So by the 24 election, we have to have justice for the election fraud.
Otherwise, it's just going to be more manipulation.
But we may not need the election fraud.
issue to lead, we may find out the whole truth from a financial collapse, from the Ukraine war, from something breaking in the Biden family, something breaking with COVID, for the arrest of the criminals, who knows.
Now, for DeSantis, while I do appreciate the somewhat leadership he's provided for COVID, I do want to point out that this is a guy who has risen to the top being a governor after being a member of Congress, So, my default position, and what I would recommend for everyone else, is that he is dirty.
I do know this for sure.
He is not speaking out about these lie-started, illegal wars of aggression.
He is not calling out these bankster looters who loot in the tens of trillions against Americans.
He is not calling out election fraud.
So, in a legal application to view DeSantis in his responsibility to speak out about crimes and uphold the law, he either knows or should have known that he is upholding crimes.
So, let's say he doesn't know and he's just stupid.
Either way, he is unfit to lead.
Interesting points.
Brian?
Well, there's a war happening in the media.
Obviously, it relates to Trump.
Do you realize that for the last five years, the Pulitzer Prize has gone to the newspaper that Reported actual misinformation.
So for instance, people, the New York Times got the Pulitzers in 2018 for a report on Trump's collusion with Russia.
In 2019, Trump's tax report.
In 2020, for the 1619 project report.
21 for the report on COVID.
And Washington Post got the Pulitzer Prize for the January 6th report.
So they're after them.
They reward all of these people out there that are putting these things together.
What really scares me about the situation right now is that once Trump's arrest was announced, the deepfake producers that exist out there on the dark web produced a bunch of deepfakes that made it look like Trump was getting arrested.
And those spread like wildfire among the liberals on Twitter.
So being able to cut through the bullshit is getting more and more difficult every day.
You've got to use logic, you've got to use deductive reasoning, and you have to use the skills of your mind to be able to determine what's real and what's not real.
And I can tell you that anybody that applies this thinking to Donald Trump finds themselves in an interesting position.
And so one of the things I'd like to begin preparing for that I'm going to announce, I'm asking for some help, is that I'm putting together a spreadsheet with two columns on Trump.
One is the NWO, the case for, and one is the NWO, the case against.
And I'm trying to isolate the big questions and the big issues so that we can design a debate program To ask the question of whether or not Trump can be trusted as the possibly the greatest leader America has ever seen and whether he should be installed or whether somebody else ought to be installed.
I think they're important questions.
I read the comments.
I see a lot of people saying that Trump is controlled opposition.
I'd like to debate the issue.
I'd like to figure out exactly what the right platform is.
So put a comment in there if you know of somebody that might be interested in taking The pro-Trump side or somebody that might be interested in taking the anti-Trump side.
I'm going to go ahead or the NWO side.
I'm going to go ahead and start to design the spreadsheet so that I can lay out the questions.
But I think it's a very interesting time here in America.
And I think Trump is, in my opinion, at this point in time, the best possible leader that we have in this particular arena.
Now, as for addressing Carl, look, you have to pick your battles when you're going to play these games.
You can't take on the New World Order head-to-head when they control the media, when they control the politicians, when they control the district attorney's office.
You gotta choose your battles, and Trump was so wise in his first choosing of his first major battle, which was taking on the media, because that allowed the fog of war and for him to run around like a ninja in stealth mode and just eat everybody alive.
I'm excited about this time.
I think it's very interesting to watch Trump develop and I think the debate will be enlightening one way or the other.
Well, this is sensational, Brian.
I really like the idea.
I am sure I can find people who want to attack Trump all over the place that are intelligent enough to make an argument.
Not that I agree with them.
In fact, I, at a very fundamental level, disagree.
But they have some facts at their disposal.
So let us contemplate moving forward.
It's a great idea, Carl.
Yeah, going back with those fake Pulitzers, the earliest one that I paid attention to, I think it was in 2005 and 60 Minutes and Mike Wallace won it for coverage of an interview that he did with Iran's President Ahmadinejad, and the comparison of what 60 Minutes aired
Cut it out and made it look like a threat by Iran's president to Israel, where the whole tape merely said the opposite, that the Israeli government needed to uphold the rights of everyone to vote.
And of course the principal lie sold by the media is to take a speech, a 2004 speech I think by Ahmadinejad, Where he said, you know what, if Israel continues to destroy the rights of Palestinians and have a concentration camp in Gaza, then they will be removed, their government will be removed, just the same as our own government.
was removed, the Iranian government of the Shah's government, it'll be the same as the collapse of the Soviet Union, it'll be the same as the collapse of Saddam in Iraq.
And that speech was then manipulated to state Iran just threatened to wipe Israel off the map.
Yep, you got that right.
Maybe we should go ahead and raise some money for the Jim Fetzer Prize for Truth in Journalism that we can award at the False Flags and Conspiracies Conference because a Pulitzer Prize used to be a feather in a journalist's cap.
Now it's a mark of shame.
There needs to be a new award and there needs to be a new program for evaluating who's actually reporting the truth.
That's a great thought, Brian, and I'm very flattered by the suggestion.
This is from Dr. Joseph Marcola, a really good guy and reliable source.
Over the past three months, a small group of independent journalists, including Michael Schellenberger and Marty Abbey, have shifted through Ellen's Twitter files, exposing many ways in which social media platforms have censored Americans at the behest of the U.S. Constitution.
government, which of course is a direct violation of the First Amendment that does not allow the government to do that, and sweat-fabricated propaganda intended to debunk truthful stories.
On March 9, 2023, Schellenberger and Thiebaud testified before Congress explaining how a highly organized network of U.S.
government agencies and government contractors had been creating backlists and pressuring social media companies to censor Americans.
A long list of government agencies, special departments, or teams whose duty it is to manage public censorship in direct violation of the Constitution.
The U.S.
Department of Homeland Security justifies censorship by placing misinformation on a par with a cyber attack on critical infrastructure, which makes it a threat to national security.
Congress must immediately defund and dismantle the censorship industrial complex in its entirety, devoutly to be wished.
Over the past three months, we have the same.
How the highly organized network of agencies and government contractors have been creating blacklists and pressuring social media companies.
There's a long list of agencies with special departments to violate the Constitution.
In short, there's a secret censorship industrial complex in the U.S., to use Schellenberger's term.
They are actively engaged in all-out information warfare against the American public.
Schellenberger and Diaby are now calling on Congress to defund and dismantle this censorship industrial complex in its entirety and do so immediately.
We cannot afford to let this treasonous cancer to grow further if we do not put a permanent end to it now.
We will lose the Republic and all the freedoms we have enjoyed thereunder.
Schellenberger's testimony to Congress is 68 pages long.
You can download or read it on his Substack.
Here's an excerpt.
The Twitter file, State Attorneys General Lawsuits Investigative Reporters, have revealed a large and growing network of government agencies Academic institutions and non-governmental organizations actively censoring American citizens, often without their knowledge, on a range of issues, including the origin of COVID, COVID vaccines, email related to Hunter Biden's business deal, climate change, renewable energy, fossil fuels, and many other issues.
If government officials are directing and facilitating such censorship, notes George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley, it raises serious First Amendment questions.
It's axiomatic.
The government cannot do indirectly what is prohibited from doing directly.
Moreover, we know the U.S.
government has funded organizations that pressure advertisers to boycott news media organizations and social media platforms that refuse to censor or spread disinformation, including alleged conspiracy theories.
The Stanford Internet Observatory, the University of Washington, the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, and GRAFICA All have inadequately disclosed ties to the Department of Defense, the CIA, and other intel agencies.
They work with multiple government agencies to institutionalize research and censorship and advocacy with dozens of other universities and think tanks.
It's important to understand how they function.
They are creating blacklists of disfavored people and then pressuring, cajoling, and demanding their social media platforms censor, de-amplify, and even ban those on the blacklist.
These organizations and others are also running their own influence operations, often under the guise of fact-checking.
In many instances, censorship, such as labeling social media, is part of the influence operation aimed at discrediting factual information.
Importantly, the bar for bringing in military-grade government monitoring and speech-countering techniques has moved from countering terrorism to countering extremism to countering simple misinformation, in other words, when they simply disagree with what a person is saying.
Government no longer needs a predicate of calling you a terrorist or extremist to deploy government resources to counter your political activity.
The only predicate it needs is simply the assertion that the opinion you express on social media is wrong.
Schellenberg Full Testimony Reviews Of All Key Organizations And Individuals Within The Censorship Network Provides Specific Examples Of Disinformation Campaigns Created And Promulgated Including The Trump-Russia Collusion Conspiracy Theory, The Delegitimization Of The COVID Lab Leak Theory, And The Hunter Biden Laptop Conspiracy Theory.
In Case Of The Biden Laptop, The FBI Initiated The Plot To Quench The Story.
In collaboration with Twitter, Facebook, and Aspen Institute, the FBI held a tabletop exercise to practice the shaping of the media's coverage of a potential hack-and-dump operation involving Hunter Biden material, weeks before the New York Post broke the story, which was subsequently censored everywhere.
Fallenberg also details how Rene D'Arista, part of Election Integrity Partnership, the non-governmental side of the censorship network, helped derail Republican Senate candidate Rory Moore's campaign in 2017 by launching thousands of fake bots against him on Facebook and Twitter.
Theresa is now a research manager and top lieutenant at the Stanford Internet Observatory, where she's directly connected to the cybersecurity infrastructure security agency censorship directorate.
She's also a member of the CFR, the goal of which is to bring about a totalitarian one-world government.
Her history also includes a stint of unknown duration with the CIA, which I would infer is almost certainly continuing today.
While CISO, which is a sub-department of DHS, was originally tagged with defending the U.S.
against foreign cybersecurity threats, it quickly morphed into a government entity focused almost entirely on domestic censorship.
Chris Krebs oversaw CISA transformation and was fired by Trump in mid-November of 2020.
He then formed the cyber consulting firm Krebs Stamos Group with Alex Stamos, director of the Stanford Internet Observatory and former chief of security at Facebook.
Krebs and Stamos are also leaders of the Yasmin Institute, which is part of the FBI's exercise to train social media on how to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.
In a more recent Substack article, Schellenberg shared his thoughts on why the Democrats are so supportive of and insistent on censorship.
He believes it was triggered by two seismic challenges to the postwar liberal order of 2016—Brexit in June and the election of Trump as president in November.
The two events shocked and frightened national security leaders on both sides of the Atlantic.
Many openly said the political threat to NATO and the Western Alliance was bigger than any security threat, a conclusion dramatically reinforced by the election of Trump in 2016, who had repeatedly criticized NATO and hinted at withdrawing the U.S.
from it.
Police spent the following six years reacting to this blow to their control over the media discourse and thus, their ability to manufacture consent.
In January 2017, DHS quietly expanded its mission from cyber security to cyber censorship.
By arguing that misinformation is a cyber attack on U.S.
critical infrastructure.
On January 6, 2017, in his final act as director of DHS, Jay Johnson declared elections critical infrastructure.
The concept of critical infrastructure went from physical things like satellites and dams and federal billings to events like elections or public health campaigns.
So DHS basically justified censorship by placing misinformation on a par with a cyber attack on critical infrastructure, which made it a threat to national security.
Schellenberg goes on to review the unique role of the EIP, consisting of the entities mentioned already.
EIP and CISA entered into a formal partnership to censor election misinformation in late June of 2020, as explained by EIP leader Stamos himself, the purpose of which was to censor what the government could not do due to lack of legal authority actually expressed prohibition by the Constitution, especially the First Amendment.
Ever since, EIB has acted as a bridge between government and social media, monitoring and instructing social media on what to remove on the governments we have.
When censorship of COVID data first became apparent, I warned it wouldn't stop there, and it hasn't.
Denying man-made climate change is now an offense that'll get you axed, and as reported by Shellenberger to CISA in June 2022, announced it would also demand censorship of information relating to the financial world.
We cannot wait until the day when merely stating the obvious that we're in a recession will get you booted off of social media.
CISA and other government departments and teams engaged in censorship must be defunded and abolished.
There's also open conversation about the use of artificial intelligence and quantum technologies to improve and automate censorship capabilities, because that's precisely what the NSF is doing, and the work is being funded by the government, as reported by the Foundation for Freedom Online.
In the promo video below, NSF grant projector Wise Dex explains how the federal government is funding it to provide social media platforms with fast, comprehensive, and consistent censorship solutions.
Wisedex built sprawling databases of banned keywords and factual claims to sell to companies like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
It then integrates the banned claim databases into censorship algorithms so the harmful misinformation stops reaching big audiences.
And the Biden admin via the NSF provides startup capital for tech tools to get social media platforms to censor more aggressively.
Horrific!
Carl, your thoughts.
Great article.
So first, Jonathan Turley is correct that the government censorship is illegal.
You can't do it through a proxy.
What, do you think this is a joke or something about that?
But they do in a tragicomic way.
But let's just take a look at what they do with three quick examples.
COVID, they have to target that and censor any truth for that because that's going to be the culling event of the sheeple either directly through future bioweapon deployments and or with the the forced required injections.
You got to uphold the Bidens.
You got to attack the Trumps.
That's so that you can get the culling.
You can get the great reset.
You can get the vaccine passports.
Very important for them.
And the social credit score.
Very important.
And just for the election fraud, of course, you have to censor that information because you have to maintain the illusion that this is the will of the people in order to get done what you want to get done.
Now, part of why I'm 95% on board that the White Hats are just orchestrating a show is take a look at the result of what has happened on the battlefield.
My estimation in a magnitude figure is that our opponents have been about 10% effective with their attack and 90% Has just caused us to be one breakthrough away from the sheeple awakening.
It could be with the war with Ukraine, it could be something with COVID, it could be something with the election fraud.
We shall see.
But man, that has been, in my estimation, Absolutely disastrous for the Blackhats.
They are so at risk.
And by the way, the 10%, if I'm just going to stick with that for the effectiveness of the attack, you know, the historian in me takes back to what we have for Roman history, and that if a group of soldiers were especially disgraceful, they would be decimated, which means that 10% of them, by lot, Would be executed for the disgrace of the unit.
Now, I don't know, but if I had to grade the performance of human beings, it has been disgraceful to be able to recognize the attacks on our freedoms and then stand up for them.
So perhaps with cosmic justice, a 10% culling would be an appropriate penalty or a necessary imposition for the people to wake up.
Well, I'm so sympathetic to your optimism about the White Hats, but as I see it by any reasonable criterion, the Black Hats are winning again and again.
The 2020 election, the 2022 midterm, shutting, you know, opening the borders, killing energy independence, canceling the XL pipeline, the war on Ukraine, the list is almost endless.
So I wish I could be persuaded that you are right, because that is the outcome I would most desire.
But as I see it, the evidence runs in the other direction.
Brian?
Well, the FBI has investigated the allegations, and they've determined that this is just conspiracy theorists chattering away.
Remember when an appeal to authority used to mean something?
Remember when an appeal to a three-letter agency like the National Health Organization or the Federal Bureau of Investigations meant something?
We used to call it investigative reporting, but now all they're doing is regurgitative reporting.
And there is some real investigative reporting taking place here, which is the Twitter files.
And they were released, which by the way, in my mind is bigger than the Watergate scandal by miles.
The whole that the government's controlling Twitter and running bots and running disinformation campaigns is huge.
But at the end of the day, It's going to come down to this.
Our government, which is making the lies and feeding the lies to the media via proxies and the FBI or the CIA internationally, is going to say, we're not lying.
We've investigated our lies and we've determined that we're not lying.
So you're the one who's lying.
And you say, I'm not lying.
And they say, you just told a lie to me.
So we're going to arrest you because you're a liar.
It's really getting to be completely out of control, and...
This is why our First Amendment rights are so important, and they're protected by our Second Amendment rights.
So we can confront the cancer as it begins to grow.
But I really believe that it's too late.
It's going to be just simply the alternative media, guys like us, guys that are willing to speak out, do a little bit of independent research, and do the best we can given our situations.
Nobody here gets paid for being here, so it's very difficult.
I mean, I'd love to be able to dedicate 40 hours a week to this show and to independent research, but it's just not practical in the real world because there's very few people out there that are going to pay for it.
At the end of the day, We need to see more independent investigative journalism, truly back to the old school of actually looking into issues and factors and documents and governmental authorities and proof documents.
Yep, I think that's absolutely correct.
Investigative journalism is basically dead in America.
None of the mainstream enjoy or participate in it.
Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy sets a popularity record for a Speaker of the House.
Erasmus and Postel's voter approval for Congress has hit a 15-year high, according to the Postmillennial.
A survey conducted by phone and online found 28% of those likely to vote viewed Congress in a good or excellent light, marking a 25% increase from December.
That's staggering!
The majority of likely U.S.
voters did not agree, however.
39% thought Congress was doing a poor job, but the number is still down from 45% in December.
The lowest it's been since March of 2007.
While confidence in Congress remains on the low end, more voters now view the representatives as the best possible person for the job.
40% believe they're the best person, contrasted with 39% who disagree, 21% unsure.
But the positive rating represents an increase of 30% since April of 2022, when Congress was viewed negatively by independents.
The answers are starkly different when breaking the thousand voters up by party.
It was a majority of Democrats, 51%, who believed their representative was the best person for the job.
Only 36% of Republicans say the same.
Democrats, 44%, also are more likely than Republicans, 21%, to give Congress a more favorable rating.
Poor congressional rating predominantly comes from Republicans.
Other differences in answers can be further categorized by age, race, and college education.
Younger voters under the age of 50 were more likely, 55%, to give Congress a good rating.
17% of those above 40 and 14% of those above 65 had the opposite view.
Whites 26%, while trailing behind blacks at 34, and other minorities 29 when it came to their approval of Congress.
Those who graduated from college, presumably in the age range under 40, rated Congress as good or excellent.
The most even groups were between men 26% and women 29, both being about even when it came to good or excellent ratings.
Carl, your thoughts?
Well, for McCarthy there, for the step of releasing the tape of J6, we've seen a little bit.
We've seen enough that undermines the official narrative of some violent insurrection on J6.
But we've only seen the preview of the real fireworks that I'm sure is to come.
And if memory serves, when the members were ushered out, I think that we were told that Nancy Pelosi had left her laptop in the chamber, as well as five other members, and that might be some interesting evidence on those laptops.
So, regarding the poll, Americans just want the truth, and if they get a little whiff of it, they're going to get excited, just as we get excited for just the little whiffs of truth that we can get.
But, you know, these polls, they're all premised upon The assumption that somehow government is what it is advertised to be in the first place, a constitutional republic.
And as I said earlier, it really isn't.
So we are a breakthrough away.
And as I emphasize, the best of times, the worst of times, we got the Star Trek future that we can step into.
But if we don't have that breakthrough, then, yeah, it's going to be worse than we can imagine if we don't get that breakthrough.
Brian?
Well, for the lefties out there, if it's not Orange Man bad, it doesn't lead.
So why are they paying attention to Congress?
All they care about is whether Congress is doing Orange Man bad, effectively, or liberal wokeism, effectively.
Look, these guys are ineffective.
Let's put it this way.
They are ineffective because they do not resist whatever system is in place to control them day by day.
You can feel the control in these guys.
January 6th, we all knew.
We all knew that day.
Just about every Trump supporter out there was like, this stinks.
This doesn't smell right.
But it wasn't until Tucker Carlson brought it back up and basically resurrected the issue that it even came back onto the scene.
And that's because the media is not doing their job.
Just like they cycled the Twitter files out of the system.
So these guys are controlled.
They're part of the apparatus that's out there to control us and take over us.
And that same apparatus that controls these news agencies is clearly controlling our Congress.
Because otherwise, if Congress was the people, by the people, for the people, of the people, then we would see these programs exposed on a daily basis as an attempt for Politician A to get political power over Politicians B and C. But they don't!
It's almost like they operate independently, as if they're all dogs on a leash.
Look at some of these old dogs that have been around this game for so long, haven't been voted out.
Mitch McConnell.
How is he still in place in Kentucky?
The guy has done nothing for us.
The guy has done nothing for Kentucky.
He's done nothing.
He's the uniparty, it's so obvious.
So, in my opinion, Congress and their approval is just all a big smoke show.
There's nobody out there that's doing a good job, not right now.
Even Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt, what's his name?
Gage.
Gage, yeah.
I mean, they're exposing some issues, but that's a tiny tip of the iceberg.
I mean, there is literally 99% darkness underneath that one Moment of light.
I wish I could find reasons to disagree.
Meanwhile, federal judge blocks key parts of a California handgun law.
Welcome development.
A federal judge Monday blocked key provisions of a California law that would drastically restrict the sale of new handguns, saying parts of the legislation violate the Second Amendment, as no doubt they do.
A lawsuit challenging the law was filed last year by California Rifle and Pistol Association and other gun rights supporters.
Following a landmark 2022 decision from the U.S.
Supreme Court that set new standards for evaluating firearm restrictions, the ruling left many laws aimed at regulating and limiting the sale and use of guns in California and elsewhere at risk of being struck down.
U.S.
District Court Judge Cormac Carney, sitting in Santa Ana, wrote Monday, California's requirements for new handguns are unconstitutional and cannot be enforced.
Because of these restrictions currently, no new models of semi-automatic handguns have been approved for sales in 2013.
Californians have been forced to buy older and potentially less safe models.
He issued a preliminary injunction taking effect in two weeks, meaning the state has to stop enforcing the law.
It does give the Department of Justice time to appeal.
The fact of the matter is California gun safety laws save lives, and California's Unsafe Handgun Act is no exception, said Attorney General Rob Boynton.
We will continue to lead efforts to advance and defend California's gun safety laws, and we move forward to determine next steps in this case.
Californians should know that this injunction has not gone into effect And that California's important gun safety requirements related to the Unsafe Handgun Act remain in effect in California.
State law requires new handguns to have three components, a chamber load indicator showing whether the gun is loaded, a magazine disconnect mechanism that'll stop the gun from firing if the magazine is not properly inserted, and micro-stamping capability, so law enforcement can more easily link spent shell casings to the guns from which they were fired.
No handgun available in the world has all three of these features, the judge wrote.
These regulations are having a devastating impact on California's ability to acquire and use new, state-of-the-art handguns.
Older handguns have been grandfathered into what's known as a roster or a list of guns that pass a safety test under state law known as the Unsafe Handgun Act.
California's got the constitutional right to acquire and use state-of-the-art handguns to protect themselves, he wrote.
They should not be forced to settle for decade-old models of handguns to ensure they remain safe inside or outside the home.
Previous attempts to challenge the law filed before our last year's Supreme Court ruling failed.
Chuck Michael, head of the California Rifle and Pistol Association, said the three requirements were impossible to satisfy.
For decades, this roster law has deprived law-abiding citizens of the right to choose a handgun appropriate for their individual needs.
If we can hold on to this great Second Amendment win, people will be able to choose from among thousands of the latest, greatest, and safest handguns made today.
Only New York has a similar micro-stamping requirement.
The National Shootings Wars Foundation, trade association for the firearms industry, hailed the preliminary injunction.
For too long, the Second Amendment has been significantly infringed by elected officials who take every opportunity to put roadblocks in front of law-abiding citizens seeking to exercise their Second Amendment right.
This order is the first step in what will be a protracted legal battle, but it is a significant win.
Carl, your thoughts?
Well, good for the 2A!
That is great!
Now, for those who would say that they're in favor of reasonable gun laws, let's take a look here.
You know, if you really wanted to be reasonable, you would ask the question, do we have any real problems with gun deaths that are Associated to illegal activity, we should probably take number one on that list if you wanted to do something reasonable.
And number one on the list, as we've talked about again and again and again, would be you'd have to demand the arrest of the President of the United States and the leading members of Congress for ongoing by started illegal wars of aggression that have killed 30 million plus since World War II.
Why don't we start the fuck there in a reasonable gun laws from our brothers and sisters on the left?
And I do want to point out again that AMREV 1.0 went hot when our own government went after our own guns, and that included public cannon.
So for those who think, oh, they didn't intend to have semi-automatic, what?
No, no, they were protecting their cannon, which is far more powerful than what you can carry around on your person.
Brian.
Well, sometimes I feel like their attacks on the Second Amendment are really just a ruse.
What they're really after is the First Amendment.
The problem is you can't get to the First Amendment if the Second Amendment's in place, because the Second Amendment's there to protect your First Amendment rights.
Remember, if your words don't work anymore, then you have to resort to force.
Where would we be without our Second Amendment rights right now?
We'd be slaves to a controlled new world order, which they've been trying to implement for years and years and years.
And even they recognize that they can't overcome that.
If people were to come out and force, we would take out our opposition.
And that's just the nature of the mob when the mob gets angry at them.
So they've got to control our minds.
They consider that to be part of the nation's critical security infrastructure.
And when they can no longer control our minds, then they've got to take our bodies out.
So we do see a trend towards Poisonings, gas, chemical weapons, biological warfare, mental weaponry, everything that they could possibly break loose on it, but at the end of the day, they can't get to the independent-minded Americans because we're armed.
We're armed.
What are you going to do?
So, I think it's an interesting study, but The founding fathers designed the Second Amendment to protect the first.
The first is what they're after.
Sit down.
Shut up.
Don't speak out against us.
We will control you.
You will be slaves, and we will limit you to 500 million rather than 6.7 billion.
Nice points.
Meanwhile, USA Today gives Woman of the Year honor to a Transgender State Lawmaker.
This has just become absurd beyond belief.
Democrat State Representative Lee Finca is the first openly transgender person to be elected to and serve in the Minnesota Legislature.
Finca was named Woman of the Year for Minnesota, despite serving in the office for less than three months.
The outnumbered panel discussed the decision Tuesday, arguing politics has now become more important for these media awards rather than an individual's achievement.
What will ever be left for biological females?
Michelle Obama is also on the list, McEnany told panelists.
What does it take for a conservative woman to get on a list like this?
Co-host Emily Campano said Pink's placement on the list actually detracted from the honor and accomplishment of the other women who were featured.
It's so exhausting, in my opinion, to have immutable characteristics or bock-checking characteristics be the reason someone is amplified to that level.
Every day, all day, we see these underserved communities in these challenging times.
How many men and women out there, out of just all regards, how many humans out there are doing such good work or trying so hard day after day without recognition?
Think Ignaci just got there to her role as a Minnesota State representative and has only been serving a short time.
This is not about actual achievement or accomplishment, it seems, as this individual seems to admit.
This is about, there's a culture war.
There's a big controversy about trans issues.
So let's find some and put them on these lists to make a statement.
USA Today made a headline last year, we're putting transgender Biden administration official Rachel Levine on the list.
Earlier this month, First Lady Jill Biden and Secretary of State Blinken presented a transgender woman from Argentina with an award for women on International Women's Day.
Here's the leafing.
Today, USA Today released their Women of the Year project, making one woman to represent each state.
And they have selected me as Woman of the Year for Minnesota.
Barf.
It's a dramatic understatement to say I'm beyond honored to see my name among the list of honorees.
In the announcement, USA Today called Pink an activist for transgender and LGBTQ plus rights, as well as Black Lives Matter almost her whole life.
Pink has also proposed legislation to make Minnesota a trans refuge for children seeking gender-affirming care.
Carl, your thoughts?
What an interesting election!
I wonder just who it is who's doing the voting and how they got appointed to that committee.
I wonder who's doing the funding of that committee.
And then for that trans man, I wonder what the background facts are for that election.
And for trans man, I wonder what we could find out for history of bribery and blackmail.
And I say that in no insult to the trans man, just with the background history that political leaders and election fraud are typically controlled by blackmail and bribery.
And we're already in trans land.
All you need to do is just do a little searching under Big Mike Obama and Big Jack, the former prime minister of New Zealand.
Those are a couple of examples that poke out at anyone who are taking a look.
I just want to add a little addendum to what I said before about the Second Amendment.
I want to point this out.
I don't believe my Second Amendment rights are in place so that I can go out and commit a crime.
Okay?
My Second Amendment rights are to prevent allowing what happened to Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago to happen in my house.
Okay?
I have my right to my secure property and possessions, and I don't want the government coming in and taking my computer or taking my files or searching my house or putting a case on me.
So I need my Second Amendment rights to prevent that from happening.
They are indeed police officers.
Now, if they've got a warrant and a judge has signed off that there's probable cause to come into my house, then great.
But if not, Second Amendment, baby, all the way.
That's why it's there.
I don't want people thinking that we're headed out to commit a murder or a crime or we're headed out to coerce our government.
What it's there for is so that we can protect our person, property, and things.
Now, as for the transgender issue, Being that I'm old theology degree, I tend to feel that all they're trying to do is normalize a disruptive, twisted version of humanity because every single one of them have been caught up in some sort of Weird, shameful events that they just can't overcome and so they're trying to normalize the most deviant behavior possible.
Also, this does a good job of dividing society and dividing up families and dividing up the issues.
So, I think it's just there as a Trojan horse to divide and focus on these tiny little percentage of weirdos that weren't born right or something went wrong with them.
And try to make it look like we're all a bunch of bad guys because we call it for what it is, which is deviant behavior.
I don't know if the author recognized the irony of putting Michelle Obama on the list, you know, citing that she was there in contrast to this transgender, because Michelle Obama's transgender, too.
This is a man masquerading as a woman by acquiring breast implants.
It's an enormous fraud.
I've documented this again and again and again.
Go to my blog, jameshfetzer.org, check out events.
Go to False Flags and Conspiracy 2020 and watch Deception Galore.
I've documented this many, many times.
Michelle Obama has a package most women do not have.
Outrageous.

Commenter, listening to my debate with Michael Shormer.
I listened to this debate.
Trimmer's a schmuck working for someone.
In my opinion, his arguments and selection of so-called facts are a joke.
He is all buff and completely F.O.S.
in my opinion.
A very bad and deceptive man.
He plays a straight man, talks with authority of 100% knowledge, but has none.
He's not even a good actor.
I'd love to take that little dipstick to S4 for a little tour to the dulcet dome.
To meet the alien, E.T.' 's working there on joint programs.
His eye would pop out of his head and he would likely faint.
Can you imagine quickly, how quickly someone like Brad Harris could have reduced his old dipstick to a trying little babbler in 10 minutes or less?
Brad worked with the Op 40 boys, knew them all.
The Colonel, Johnny Rosselli, El Indio, who was in the surgery room with Oswald.
Ted Shackley, the white ghost, a hardcore soulless murderer like E. Howard Hunt.
Marita Lawrence, her handler, Frank Farina, a.k.a.
Frank Sturgis.
Brad was stationed at No Name Cave with his people.
Xenotechnical Services of the University of Florida was their proprietary front.
He was supposed to go to Dallas to protect President JFK, but refused the assignment because he was afraid of being set up as a pansy.
There are four others who did the same and had the same fears.
Marina went to Dallas from Florida by car but left Dallas in the morning because she did not want to be involved.
Frank Sturges was on the overpass where it met the grassy knoll and fired the killing headshot.
He signed a confession to Cardinal Spellman and received absolute, complete absolution.
The reason he won't debate you is because you will shred him like cheese through a grater with your vast knowledge base and a memory like an elephant.
Meanwhile, final thoughts.
Carl, yours.
Yeah, I gotta watch that creation of the Shermer thing.
It hasn't made it to the top of my list yet.
Just a final thought, just hang in there.
If we have a breakthrough, the truth will set us free.
But until we have a breakthrough, this is still a war.
Brian, final thoughts.
Oh yeah, I watched the debate last night.
It was like a steamroller.
It's like watching college players play against a high school football team or even the junior varsity on a high school football team.
It was terrible.
If Schermer's the best they've got, then they don't have much going for them.
And all it does, going through it and just watching it, confirms that We do our homework.
Everything we say isn't necessarily something that's been researched or something that's been looked into or independently proven, but we generally find ourselves on the side of focusing on what makes sense and what doesn't.
And that 9-1-9-11 debate is exactly the type of Firepower that we bring to the table when we want to focus on an issue.
So you could pay attention to us on all sorts of different issues out there, and we would be able to speak authoritatively, at least stand and debate a system that hands out Pulitzer Prizes for false information any day.
Well, thanks to Carl and Brian for excellent commentary.
I'm so appreciative of their efforts.
Let me add, if DHS wants to go after misinformation and treat it on a par with cyber attacks, cyber security, go after the Attorney General of California, who falsely alludes that their gun control laws are going to save lives.
They're going to cost lives.
If you look at the latest statistics, you'll find about 70,000 who die each year by gun death, over half of whom are suicides.
On the other hand, Americans use guns to defend themselves from perpetrators millions of times every year, saving an estimated 200,000 lives every single year.
That's three times the total number who die from gun deaths and how many multiple of those who actually die from being shot to death by perpetrators.
So we got the liars, liars, pants on fire on the Democrats' side.
If you're going after misinformation, you've got to be even-handed about it.
They are perpetrating enormous frauds on the American people to undermine the Second Amendment, the Constitution, because that's what the Democrats do today.
They are the undemocratic party.
They don't give a toot about the Constitution.
All they want is to preserve their power, which is why they're stealing election after election after election.
If we don't get rid of the voting machines and the drop boxes, they're going to stay in office in perpetuity, even as they destroy America, on which they're doing quite a good job and seem to be right on schedule.
Meanwhile, spend as much time as you can with your friends and people you love and care about.
