This post has been awhile in coming. The incredibly uniform groupthink demonstrated by Socialists is of major importance to us Christians. Not only is it a false god that we must counter, it’s literally going to be the death of us in the West.

They moved to liberal enclaves in red states. Now they worry about losing abortion rights.

By Daniel Arkin for NBC News, 5 May 2022

In the fall, Patrice Douglas was looking for a change. She decided to move from Philadelphia to Austin, Texas, a modern-day mecca for liberal-minded young professionals like herself. She started working in the gaming unit of a technology company and soaked up the city’s youthful energy.

But on Monday, after Politico published a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, Douglas felt “appalled.” She is a strong supporter of reproductive rights, and she was shaken by the idea of living in one of the 23 states that could ban abortions if the 49-year-old landmark decision is reversed.

.I am questioning my decision to move,. said Douglas, 29, “but it also makes me want to be more involved in local politics..

She was willing to change states but not live outside a Socialist enclave of abortion-on-demand.

She is one of an untold number of progressive-leaning Americans who, faced with the stark possibility of a post-Roe world, find themselves second-guessing having settled in liberal enclaves or academic sanctuaries in otherwise red states.

Calling them locusts is not merely an insult. It’s descriptive. This is a very common pattern of Socialism. First is the infiltrators & entryists, who then open the door for Marxist insects to come colonize a new host.

But like vampires in the daylight, these carpetbaggers cannot bear to actually associate with Outsiders. Like most things, geography means nothing to them. Only continued membership in the hive matters.

.The culture of downtown Austin, around the University of Texas . that’s not the stereotypical Texas,. Douglas said. “But as soon as you get outside the city limits, that’s where you experience more of the conservative perspective..

The rapidly shifting political environment is especially jarring for the many young people and restless professionals who moved during the height of the pandemic, seeking solace in rural communities or new opportunities in thriving blue-tinted cities like Austin, Atlanta and Nashville, Tennessee.

Exactly a year ago, Theresa Francisco and her husband, Sean Curtis, packed their bags and drove from Los Angeles to Greenbackville, Virginia, a rural seaside community near the Maryland border.

They enjoy their new small-town idyll. The rustic peace is a welcome change after nearly a decade of urban hustle and bustle. The rent is cheaper.

The rent is cheaper?

The rent is cheaper!

“Welcome to Red State America. What brings you here? Our culture? Our people? Our industry? Our way of life?”

“Cheap land and fast internet. It’s just like Sodom back home, but affordable! Or it will be, once we get rid of you.”

They continue to work remotely for employers based in California.

When a Californian moves in next to you, check them out. If they’ve come to build stuff or work the land or care for family, they’re probably okay. If they’re telecommuting knowledge workers who don’t care to fraternize with you, then you have my blessing to proceed. Signed, a based fox hoping to escape Commiefornia at the last hour without being shot by locals for having CA tags.

But since the draft Roe opinion was leaked, Francisco and Curtis, both 31, have grown increasingly alarmed. They do not want kids, and the thought of being forced to go ahead with an unwanted pregnancy terrifies them.

.I.m in a privileged position. I have a good support group,. Francisco said. “But this could jeopardize the life that I’ve built for myself and the life that we’ve built together, and that’s extremely scary..

Curtis said he realized he needed to “take steps to avoid” scenarios he and his spouse consider untenable. Two days after the Politico report was published, Curtis said he made an appointment to have a vasectomy.

It’s not just that they murder their own babies. It’s that they do it because convenience.

Twelve years ago, Arielle Kuperberg needed a job. She was nearing the end of her graduate studies in sociology…

Hypothetically speaking, would waxing an associate professor of sociology reduce humanity’s carbon footprint enough to offset me continuing to own a private automobile? And while I’m asking, how many times must I ride my bicycle to work to offset the pollution of one hour’s flight time for a loaded C-130?

…but the job market, still reeling from the Great Recession, looked bleak. She received one promising offer: a tenure-track position at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Kuperberg accepted the faculty role, although the Northeast native felt uncomfortable with the politics of North Carolina. She was opposed to the state’s rightward tilt on social issues like LGBTQ rights, for example, but she took the job and made a home in Greensboro, giving birth to two daughters. The city grew on her.

But the news about Roe sent her into a panic. She feels it would be unacceptable to remain in North Carolina if abortion is effectively outlawed.

Coming back to my thesis, why does she even care? She’s chosen life at least twice already. She’s also big into… nonreproductive forms of sex. RvW could be criminalized outright as murder, and she would not be directly affected.

Either she’s lying to score Social Credits, or she cannot bear to live outside the Hive.

.The politics here were barely tolerable before, and now it’s getting to the point where it’s endangering my daughters,. Kuperberg said, letting out a heavy sigh.

Kuperberg is strongly considering moving to a “solidly blue” state . maybe Oregon, Washington, California or somewhere in New England . even if it means abandoning her tenured position and changing professions.

Socialists don’t joke about losing tenure. She’s desperate to live in a Hive. And she’s hardly unique.

Austin has had an influx of new residents over the last decade, offering them a left-leaning home inside a deep-red state. Texas’ archconservative governor, Greg Abbott, signed a law last year that bars abortions after six weeks, before some women even know they are pregnant.

.The laws here are f—ing crazy. They’re scary,. said a woman who moved to Austin in November and requested anonymity because she fears being harassed for her views. “Austin is a liberal bubble: It’s queer, it’s creative, there’s good music, there’s good food. But you get two seconds outside this bubble and you’re very much in Texas..

.I feel unsafe because I’m a queer-representing female who comes from a hippie commune, so I don’t feel comfortable in a place where human rights are in question,. she added.

We end with a motive: Hive life protects the locusts from people they hate and fear. Not even with good reason; “red-state Texas” isn’t conservative enough to even qualify as Christian. It almost doesn’t even qualify as white. This hate and fear exist without proportion to the threat.

The world knows that the West is going totalitarian fascist in a swift hurry. One of the Covid lockdowns’ most horrifying lessons is that most people are okay with it. It’s obvious why kings want total power over their pawns… but not so obvious, is why the pawns would ALSO want the king to have total power over them.

A mutually shared hatred of healthy manhood is only the beginning of a partnership made in Hell.

Step two is broken souls needing firm guidance to function. They sure do seem obsessed with mental health, now don’t they?

Socialism has long been known to be the preferred government of weak men. Damaged, craven or simply inferior, Socialism offers them a safety net. Welfare. Give their loyalty to the System and the System will take care of them. It’s a false promise, or at best a Ponzi scheme, but even otherwise-based politicians such as Trump keep wanting to go back to earlier, smaller forms of Socialism rather than ditching it in favor of…

Self-reliance.

The source of Hive-mindedness is in one’s locus of control. Healthy people have an internal locus. They wield authority, accept responsibility (the two should not be separated), take risks, choose their beliefs and claim the consequences of those beliefs whether good or bad.

Hive people have an external locus of control. They do not want to be responsible. They fear to take risks. They don’t care about their beliefs because they lack the courage to uphold them in the face of adversity. Instead of trying to BE strong, the externally locused try to FIND strong outside themselves, and trade their personal lives for membership in something more powerful.

This becomes the basis for a deal between kings and pawns. The kings offer safety and the pawns offer loyalty.

To a large degree, that is a healthy relationship. I am a team player at my job, doing what the boss says in return for a guaranteed paycheck. The difference is that if I get fired, I walk away. Find another company. Start my own. Hike the Appalachian Trail. Become a lumbersexual drinking craft beer. Whatever I decide. My locus of control is internal.

Were I externally locused, I would be devastated. Turning in my badge would be like a turtle turning in its shell, its ability to survive in a cruel and uncertain world. When you are dependent upon external structure, losing that structure becomes a mortal threat.

Thus, the typical Socialist comes to value strength for the sake of strength. Like a battered wife admiring her “strong” abuser. The stronger, the better.

The internally locused are the creators. Here’s a problem, how do you want to solve it? But the externally locused are the envious. Here’s a problem, whose stuff do you need to appropriate? They are holes never filled.

They will help the king steal your wealth because they expect to get a share. Weak men have controllers like strong men have principles: it’s what directs our behavior.

I don’t say “weak men” pejoratively. We all have failings. But the internally locused do not define ourselves by what we lack. It’s just another risk, another factor. But the weak man wants external solutions to his failings… welfare state, pension, tenure, etc. That’s what he gets out of the partnership. The price is loyalty to the king or System.

The Hive comes into existence when the king/System takes advantage of the fact that its dependents don’t have independent beliefs. Outsiders are vilified. Purity tests are demanded. The Hive begins lying to its members, who are disposed to believe the lies if it makes the Hive look strong and capable.

This is how the Plandemic could happen… and still is happening. The Hive promised its members that the vaxx would keep them safe, even elevate them into a new state of being, and its members want to believe it badly enough that they actively want the System to silence the “misinformation”. It would only upset them.

This must be emphasized: Hive members WANT the Hive to silence the voices of dissidents. It’s not just the kings demanding it; the pawns demand it, too.

Most despicable of all Hive behaviors, is when it begins to sabotage the ability of its members to exist outside the Hive. Gaslighting and social unrest are common forms of this. For example, emptying the prisons then waiting for the people to demand more powerful police. Or the idea that banning abortion would leave to humanity’s extinction by overpopulation.

Outlawing fatherhood to ensure that the State’s authority is unquestioned gets its own mention because the internally controlled men are the greatest threat to the System… we being, by definition, the people capable of life without the System. Children without a father don’t even have the ability to question Big Brother. Women naturally prefer a powerful State to a husband weighted down by the effort of survival outside the System. All men must be enslaved or destroyed.

And here we are today.

The vaxxed & boosted man can’t leave without admitting that he seriously fucked up his body. The empowered whammin can’t leave without submitting to a man. The bureaucrat can’t leave because he never collected useful skills and still doesn’t want to. None of them have a backup plan should they be kicked off Twitter, let alone no welfare state. All of them think their problems can best be solved by seizing more money, more power, more control, more slaves, more, more, more, more MOAR!!!

Now they’re vaxxing their own infants, who never got Covid, for no reason than the Hive declared that they should… outside of business hours to prevent “misinformation about SADS”.

This leaves us Christians with a few conclusions. One, we can’t avoid what’s coming. Both the kings and pawns hate us for not submitting to their demonic System. After they chase us into the wilderness, they’ll hunt us down in the wilderness. After they ban us from using money, they’ll seize our possessions. After they demobilize us, they’ll incarcerate us. After they disarm us, they’ll kill us. We are always threats because we exist outside the System.

Two, we need a new monastic movement. The System is sabotaging its members, especially children, such that they cannot survive without a structured environment. Offering them an alternative structured environment will make accepting Christianity easier for them.

Three, let’s put an end to the Churchian “we’re broken people needing a Savior”. That confuses the locust into thinking that Christians just aren’t smart enough to back the winning team. Yes, we need a Savior. No, it’s not because we’re broken worthless pond scum. Christ did not sacrifice Himself for a people of no value! If we are going to make Christianity attractive to the Lost then let’s find our manhood already.

Four, as a corollary to three, have fun at their expense. The way to clean out the locusts is to violate the Narrative. This is literally painful to them. “Abortion is infanticide”, “welfare bums shouldn’t get to vote” and my personal favorite, “God says dicks are for chicks”. I also have a post coming up on how Idaho did just that… stay tuned, but let’s close with a meltdown-by-way-of-example!

Professor ripped after trying to mask-shame flight attendant in unhinged Twitter rant

h ttps://nypost.com/2022/06/20/canadian-professor-ripped-after-trying-to-mask-shame-flight-attendant-in-unhinged-twitter-rant/

By David Propper, 20 June 2022

A Canadian professor went on an unhinged Twitter rant as he attempted to get a flight attendant in trouble for not wearing a mask aboard the flight he was on.

Amir Attaran, part of the University of Ottawa’s Faculties of Law and School of Epidemiology and Public Health, called out the unsuspecting flight attendant, United Airlines and the United States over coronavirus policies in a series of social media posts over the weekend.

Attaran.s first tweet posted photos of the United flight attendant without a mask, which is required for all flights out of Canada.

.Hey @United, why are you breaking the law? Masks are required on all flights out of Canada. Your flight attendant isn’t wearing one!. he tweeted as he also included government agencies and Canadian news outlets.

The standard point-and-shriek, combined with appeal to Amenable Authority. Who replied to him and…

.WTF, United? Look here: no flights leaving Canada, masks are mandatory the “entire travel journey.” FOLLOW THE LAW!.

Oh noes! A locust without a Hive protecting him!

The COVID-crazed professor wasn’t done yet.

.United should be forbidden from flying to Canada.immediately,. he tweeted, while tagging the country’s minister of transport. .Our country, our rules. Even the supervisor I talked with in Chicago didn’t understand Canadian rules apply to flights departing Canada..

“Protect me, Hive! I do your will, see? You MUST protect meeeee!”

Later Attaran [then] tweeted that he had a “friendly chat” with the previously unmasked flight attendant, “and found she is blameless because @United misinforms its crew.

Thou be BURNED, O secret king!

The next day after an outpouring of critical tweets directed at him, he turned his ire to Americans and the Republican Party, mocking the country over its COVID death rate.

Then he took aim at America’s gun policies.

He was trying to invoke the Hive’s protection, triggering a defense reflex, because his locus of control is:

That is NOT a man who faces life on his own two feet.

He was still tweeting out how the US dealt with COVID as recently as Monday night.

That’s a very weak and insecure man. Not that it’s easy to do, but a fun experiment: offend a Hive locust when the closest authority figure is secretly a shitlord. Watch the locust’s head explode when Authority is not Amenable, and you’ll see why they cannot survive outside the Hive.

Remember how the D.C. Regime responded to a scary disease by banning exercise? Turns out, it was a stealth attempt at banning nationalism and Christianity. So stealthy, in fact, that their enemies–overwhelmingly NOT bulging atheist land whales–didn’t notice for two years.

White Nationalists Want to Reclaim Nature as a Safe Space for Racists

h ttps://www.vice.com/en/article/wxnqeb/us-national-parks-racist-past-white-supremacy

By Tess Owen, 15 June 2022

America.s white nationalists are once again embracing the great outdoors.

That attitude puts a whole new perspective on the Plandemic lockdowns.

At first glance, it may seem out of character: Wholesome activities like hiking, foraging for berries, and camping seemingly stand in sharp contrast to lifestyles of the basement-dwelling, far-right livestreamers.

On one recent weekend, a number of young far-right extremists went camping in upstate New York. This “retreat” was the latest in a national event series that aims to foster real-world relationships within the very online, youth-oriented Christian nationalist movement.and with the land they vow to defend against anything they deem un-American and un-Christian, be it immigration, critical race theory, or transgender rights.

The standout idea in that unhinged screed is that we don’t actually want to be basement-dwelling losers… and for the Regime, that’s a problem.

Who knew that overthrowing the New World Order would look like a gym membership?

.We believe that Americanism has strayed far from its roots; primarily in connections to the land itself,. the event’s organizers write on their website. They promise to bring .America-first values to youth nationwide through an outdoor experience..

Without one SINGLE Ukraine flag! The nerve of those global citizens!

While this may be a relatively new phenomenon within the modern far-right, white supremacy has deep roots in the U.S. wilderness and recreation movement, which long excluded people of color from its national parks and green spaces. And that history has made America’s national parks attractive destinations for white-rights activists trying to stake their claim to the land.

This accusation is true. Whites DO ban vibrants from out National Parks. More specifically, we banned bus stops and vibrants don’t care to walk, so it works out the same.

Prohibiting groids with triple-digit bodymass indices from driving Segways across Yellowstone boardwalks over literal pools of acid was one of our most diabolical plans ever.

In 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed a declaration that removed Yellowstone from public action, and preserved it as a recreational space for all to enjoy. The tribes who.d lived on that land for thousands of years were forced to leave by the government, and the Army was brought in to keep them out.

Segue

h ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_National_Park

Under a half-dozen tribes had made seasonal use of the Yellowstone area- the only year-round residents were small bands of Eastern Shoshone known as “Sheepeaters”. They left the area under the assurances of a treaty negotiated in 1868, under which the Sheepeaters ceded their lands but retained the right to hunt in Yellowstone. The United States never ratified the treaty, and refused to recognize the claims of the Sheepeaters or any other tribe that had used Yellowstone.

What an evil government that was… making false promises then seizing land under threat of projected military force! We should organize against that government!

Oh, wait.

End segue

These conservationists embraced restrictive immigration laws, scientific racism, and eugenics. Among them were John Muir, who founded the environmental nonprofit Sierra Club and was known for making derogatory anti-Black and anti-Indigenous statements. Madison Grant, who wrote a foundational text for the eugenics movement, was another.

Having torn down every hero of the Confederacy, the blacktivists have moved on to the heroes of the environmentalist movement. It’s like watching Darth Vader turn on Palpatine. Who will win? Everybody!

National Park Service data from 2020 showed that 77 percent of visitors to the 419 parks were white; just 6 percent identified as Black (recent Census data shows that 60 percent of Americans are non-Hispanic whites, and 13 percent are Black). A sociologist who.d studied that disparity found that many of the Black Americans they talked to said they.d encountered racism while visiting a local state park, while others said they were afraid of feeling unwelcome.

Why would the National parks ask about the local parks? And might that racism be from, perhaps, the Browns against the Blacks? “I don’t feel welcome on Latin Kings turf.”

National parks were regarded by the white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups [that Professor] Simi studied as not just free from environmental pollution but also remote, unclaimed spaces “free of contaminants..meaning, non-white people. Conversely, urban areas or diverse parts of the country have often been regarded as “cesspools” or .shitholes,. said Simi.hubs of moral and social decay.

I cannot imagine why neo-Nazis wouldn’t rather live in Chicongo. They’d be welcomed with open small arms!

(This language was famously repeated by then-President Donald Trump during a meeting in 2018, who referred to Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as “shithole” countries.)

TDS QED.

The El Paso shooter blamed immigrants for “urban sprawl” and the “decimation of the environment.”

It was California governor Gavin Newsom who said that. I give the Prince Of Hair Gel credit, he can publicly blame migrants for environmental ruin, then call for more migration in the next breath, and environmentalists will cheer him for it.

It’s all lies. All Narrative. If it wasn’t for CNN, these people wouldn’t believe in anything.

Speaking of lies, I find the devil to be… disappointing, these days. One would imagine that opposing the legions of Hell in wars over the fate of mens’ souls would be, I dunno, exciting or challenging.

It’s like Old Scratch is just phoning in humanity’s damnation at this point. But I digress. Sort of. We ARE, after all, talking about how abandoning Marxist urban cesspits to work off those Big Macs is an antigovernment conspiracy.

The long-standing obsession with purity and contamination among white supremacists has also manifested in their lifestyles. White supremacist Robert Rundo and his international network of “active clubs” places great importance on “clean living” and physical fitness.

Leaked chats from the preppy white supremacist group Patriot Front.whose members and leaders were arrested recently in an alleged foiled plot to violently counter a Pride celebration in Couer d.Alene…

Yeah, I remember that. I remember wondering why the police would arrest 30 people for terrorist activity before they did ANY activity, while allowing them to continue wearing balaclavas, hats and dark sunglasses while handcuffed.

I’m reasonably certain that Patriot Front isn’t actually a government false flag. They’re marketers for the SPLC. They show up and make ideal optics for their fundraisers, behaving as nonviolently threatening as possible, and so white-skinned that they wear those balaclavas as tight as yoga pants.

…revealed a pre-occupation with weight-watching, as well as abstinence from drinking, drugs, and porn. The recent upstate camping retreat also dovetails with another recent trend within the far-right: organic farming. In 2019, white supremacists began cropping up at farmers markets around the U.S.

Move over, Neo-Nazis! Make room for the Health-Nazis! Growing food is white privilege!

Of course, obsessions with purity and clean living aren’t just an American white supremacist thing. Nazi Germany was deeply concerned about the longevity of the Aryan race, and so encouraged a healthy lifestyle and good diet.

Of course, obsessions with purity and clean living aren’t just an American white supremacist thing. Nazi Germany was deeply concerned about the longevity of the Aryan race, and so encouraged a healthy lifestyle and good diet. But eating a natural diet was also a core component of the Nazi slogan .blood and soil..intended to foster nationalism by eating food grown on the land.

While the organizers of the “America First” wilderness outings don’t necessary identify as neo-Nazi or white supremacist (though their supporters may have ties to those ideologies), it’s clear that they hope those trips will solidify, at minimum, nationalist ties to the land.

Do you know why the New World Order is so keen on killing the people who belong here? Because the only way they can keep what they’ve stolen, is to murder the rightful heirs. Watching us leave their hives of saturated fat and limited oxygen to work the land is their nightmare scenario.

I’ve heard the phrase “never read the comments” before, and thought at the time that it pertained to under-moderated forums filled with trolls, Nigerians and moms working from home before it was a CDC mandate. Since then, the suspicion has grown that the real motivation behind the aphorism is uncontrolled Narrative violations. Let’s celebrate the lamest ‘Murican holiday ever by entertaining some honest feedback!

Reading a news story about Pride Month? You may want to skip the comment section

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/reading-news-story-pride-month-100028687.html

By Blacktivist Whamminz, aka Rayonna Burton-Jernigan for the Evansville Courier & Press, 20 June 2022

EVANSVILLE, Ind. . The chestnut suggesting to “never read the comments” on a social media or Internet article is certainly applicable during Pride Month in the Tri-State.

Businesses and organizations ranging from Holiday World to the Evansville Otters have hosted events to celebrate the month, but coverage of those events in local media have led to some … interesting contributions … in the comment sections.

A few examples:

“What month is straight pride going to be celebrated?”

“JESUS CHRIST! Let’s have a month celebrating him! No one would have anything if it weren’t for him!”

Boom, there it is. The objectionable comments being left were not trolls and haters. They were the ideas that Christ and Christ’s design of human sexuality should be celebrated at least as much as transmitting monkeypox.

When this queer author picked out something to be offended about, she picked out the Father of All.

The Courier & Press reached out to some of the people who left the social media responses, but did not get a reply.

They must not have read the comments on their comments.

For people who work with LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, the comments are disappointing, but not a surprise. “I think that we still have a long way to go as far as community acceptance, but I think that we’re doing a much better job at visibility,” said Ashley Riester, president of River City Pride.

Pride Month is celebrated each June to mark the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. On June 28, 1969, plainclothes NYPD officers raided the Stonewall Inn, one of the most popular gay bars in the city.

I celebrate that, too. #ThinBlueLine

In Evansville, the Rev. Craig Duke runs the non-profit Az-U-R, an inclusive community that comes together to share stories, find inspiration and impact our area with love and acceptance.

Another coal for the fires of hell.

Duke entered the limelight after his appearance on the HBO show “We’re Here,” which follows everyday people taking part in drag shows as an outreach for the LGBTQ+ community. He participated to show allyship to his daughter Tiffany, who identifies as pansexual.

As if being a false priest wasn’t enough evil, he’s also responsible for Tiffany.

“I get livid when people misquote and say things out of context completely,” he said. His feelings about an argument for day celebrating Jesus? Duke’s response was that Jesus is celebrated every Sunday, six weeks for Lent and Easter, and for five weeks leading up to Christmas. Duke was a grand marshal in the River City Pride parade this year, and said he believes God loves everyone, no matter their sexuality.

This false priest doesn’t celebrate Christ on any day of the year. “Jesus gets enough celebration, now which of my spawn’s holes do you prefer?” is not something any legit clergy will ever say.

They try to have pride in their perversion… but their conscience keeps getting in the way.

“We have to… continue to educate from our children all the way through, and no longer fear, what we don’t understand,” Duke said.

It’s his conscience that he doesn’t understand. Why does it keep burning!

Just as there are an influx of online comments, others have shown support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Two such posts:

“Pride is important because someone tonight still believes they’re better off dead than being themselves.”

That might be Tiffany they’re talking about, rather than some girl raised by a normal father to marry young and have a family.

“Gay Pride was not born of a need to celebrate being gay, but our right to exist without persecution. So instead of wondering why there isn’t a straight pride movement, be thankful you don’t need one.”

Nobody today is persecuting homos except their own consciences and the diseases they trade like baseball cards. As demonstrated by their triggering hardest at the idea that maybe Christ should be worshiped instead of their bodily functions.

It’s no secret, except to those unwilling to see, that Pedo-Kazar has failed as completely as only a sodomite Jewish comedian head-of-state inciting a land war against Russia in winter can fail. I’ve already seen some articles preparing the way for Bidenreich to escape responsibility, for example:

Ukrainian officials dispute Biden’s claim that Zelenskyy ‘didn’t want to hear’ warnings that Putin would invade

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ukrainian-officials-dispute-bidens-claim-034506002.html

By Michelle Mark for Business Insider, 11 June 2022

Ukrainian officials are pushing back on President Joe Biden’s claim that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “didn’t want to hear” US warnings about a looming Russian invasion.

On Friday, Biden told California donors that prior to the full-scale invasion, the US presented Zelenskyy with intelligence that Russian President Vladimir Putin was planning to attack.

“There was no doubt,” Biden said. “And Zelenskyy didn’t want to hear it.”

On Saturday, Ukrainian officials said Biden’s comments were incorrect.

“The phrase ‘did not want to hear’ probably needs clarification,” Ukrainian presidential spokesman Sergei Nikiforov told the Ukrainian news outlet LIGA.net.

Nikiforov told LIGA.net that Zelenskyy and Biden had multiple telephone conversations before the Russian invasion in which the two leaders spoke frankly about the threat Russia posed.

Nikiforov said Zelenskyy requested preventative sanctions in anticipation of the invasion and hoped Ukraine’s allies would help encourage Russia to de-escalate and withdraw troops.

“Here we can already say that our partners ‘did not want to hear us,’” Nikiforov said.

All that finger-pointing over an enemy that ran out of food & bullets three months ago, HAH! Somebody’s special operation is not doing so well!

Ukraine has pleaded with Western nations in recent days and weeks to provide more weapons to ensure the nation’s survival. Reports have indicated Ukraine is sustaining significant losses amid the fighting and that Russian forces are equipped with exponentially more weapons and artillery.

Ukraine doesn’t have enough still-warm bodies to use any weapons that they can be provided. NATO’s options are 1. provide infantry, thus establishing beyond all possibility of coverup that it is the aggressor in this conflict, or 2. incite Russia to invade NATO somewhere else.

They went with option #2.

Russian region says Lithuania will curb imports, exports by rail

h ttps://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-region-says-lithuania-will-curb-imports-exports-by-rail-2022-06-17/

June 17 (Reuters) – Lithuania has told the Russian region of Kaliningrad that it will block the import and export of a large number of goods by rail because of Western sanctions, the regional governor said on Friday.

The region – home to the Russian Baltic Fleet and a deployment location for nuclear-capable Iskander missiles – is sandwiched on the Baltic coast between Lithuania and Poland, both NATO members, and has no land border with Russia.

One glance at a map puts the lie to that. Sourced from sonar21:

So, Lithuania is trying to set up a blockade between two Russian areas on the false pretense that “Russia is importing sanctioned stuff into our country”. Only to send it straight back out to a Russian destination, but that’s the sort of detail that a history book can easily forget. I don’t see this working because Kaliningrad is a major port, but one wonders if… oh, that’s right. Do you see that big island north of the arrow and southwest of the words “Baltic Sea”? That’s Gotland, Sweden, and NATO was recently practicing maneuvers there with Sweden despite Sweden not being NATO and Gotland being demilitarized.

Swedish, US troops drill on remilitarized Baltic Sea island

h ttps://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-sweden-nato-finland-c52ddae2f753ba3ea210316201bc6105

By James Brooks, 11 June 2022

VISBY, Sweden (AP) . Having to defend Gotland against a foreign invasion seemed such a far-fetched notion to Swedish decision-makers at the start of the century that they demilitarized the Baltic Sea island.

Now, the Swedish Armed Forces are back, and they are practicing with U.S. troops not just how to defend the island with a population of 58,000, but how to take it back from a foreign aggressor.

U.S. Marines have conducted air drops and amphibious landings on Gotland as part of a NATO exercise in the Baltic Sea.

And just a few weeks after those exercises concluded, the siege of Kaliningrad starts? What a coincidence.

Strategically located in the middle of the southern part of the Baltic Sea, Gotland has seen foreign invasions throughout its history, the most recent one in 1808, when Russian forces briefly occupied it.

But after the Cold War ended, Sweden felt the risk of a Russian aggression was so remote it refocused its armed forces on foreign peacekeeping operations rather than territorial defense. The Gotland regiment was closed in 2005 as Sweden downsized its military.

Russia.s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula in 2014 led to a rethink, and a new regiment was established on Gotland in 2018. There are now around 400 Swedish soldiers permanently based on the island. Further reinforcements are planned following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

There’s how long they’ve been planning this operation. The Trump administration was nothing but a speed bump.

It would be a shame if anti-ship missiles placed at Gotland were accidentally launched at Russian supply ships. “By Ukrainian nationalists!”

I do not understand the Biden Regime’s cowardice. At the head of (supposedly) the most militarily powerful country on the planet, with no domestic opposition, they are terrified to act against a hated foe unless they can do so while painting themselves the victim. The end result is a Clown World in which all the world rolls their eyes at the endless tirade of lies that are not just obvious, they insult the intelligence of observers.

One part of me wants Biden to just push the red button and get it over with. Another part of me hopes that he and all his cronies will die of old age (any moment now) before they work up the courage. A third part of me doesn’t care because the Prince Of Hair Gel will still be potentate of Commiefornia no matter what happens.

Bitcoin is libertarian crack. And that’s a good thing! It’s almost a pure distillation of libertarian monetary policy into a serious medium of exchange! We should all be so lucky as to have the chance to literally invest in our beliefs. Some consequences are good consequences.

Bitcoin is not doing well at the moment, along with a market crash of the other cryptocurrencies… notoriously not including the currency-backed stablecoins. I had wondered if this would happen. Not just a volatility concern; if its backers are right and BTC is a mathematically unfalsifiable currency, then its mere existence is a mortal threat to the GAE. If the banksters cannot subvert BTC then they will destroy it, which looks like what is happening.

It also explains the snark that I’ve been seeing directed at El Salvador. I’ll touch on it, but the big article today is the Kraken Exchange taking this opportunity to purge its SJW infestation!

El Salvador Bitcoin purchases look very stupid. Check the chart.

By Kane, 16 June 2022

[Quoting ‘CryptoWhale’ on Twitter:]

El Salvador is down $50 Million from #Bitcoin

Their Finance Minister Alejandro Zelaya claims the country’s losses are “fake and don’t count..

The first stage of grief is denial.

If El Salvador was purchasing BTC as an investment then yes, this looks bad. They bought high and… would be selling low, except they aren’t selling.

But here’s the thing, I suspect El Salv isn’t going to sell that BTC ever, at any price. I suspect they actually want to use it. Their reason for getting into it in the first place was to make it their official currency. At which point, the investment paradigm is no longer relevant.

It’s the difference between speculating on gold values and taking delivery on a shipment to make computer chips out of.

El Salvador ‘has not had any losses’ due to Bitcoin price dive, Finance Minister says

h ttps://cointelegraph.com/news/el-salvador-has-not-had-any-losses-due-to-bitcoin-price-dive-finance-minister-says

By David Attlee, 14 June 2022

Alejandro Zelaya, the Minister of inance of El Salvador, reacted to the recent media attacks on the nation’s strategy of investing in Bitcoin (BTC) by calling the allegations of fiscal risks “extremely superficial..

During a press conference held on Monday, Zelaya responded to a journalist’s question about the government’s reaction to Bitcoin’s sharp dip in an emotional manner:

.There is a clear criticism of Bitcoin as such, not of El Salvador’s strategy. El Salvador is what interests them the least, they [the media outlet] are not interested in what happens to our economy, they are not interested in what happens with our people, what happens with inflation..

Zelaya’s comment is exactly what my suspicion predicted. The GAE banksters are trying to destroy crypto by devaluing it as an investment, making it unattractive as a store of wealth. They’re hating on El Salvador as a critical part of that demoralization.

But ruining crypto as a store of wealth, does not affect crypto as an exchange of wealth.

At the moment, El Salvador holds 2,301 Bitcoin, which amounts to around $50 million by press time. In fiat equivalent, that is less than half of the money the nation has invested in Bitcoin through its purchases in October 2021 and May 2022, when BTC was worth $30,700.

Like the whole crypto market at large, BTC has been declining since its all-time high in November 2021 (around $69,000) with the downtrend accelerating for the last month and a half following a series of the shake-ups such as the failure of Terra (LUNA, now L and the fiasco of a major DeFi lender, Celsius, as well as the global inflation rise.

Celsius was a Jewish scam. Literally; it’s being prosecuted by Israeli authorities. I’ll post a link to Upper Echelon Gaming who absolutely savages the topic better than I ever could, but your takeaway here is that El Salv’s using BTC to escape GAE influence is being compared to a money laundering racket. That shoe don’t fit.

Cointelegraph [ spoke with Dania Gonzalez, Deputy of the Republic of El Salvador] about central bank digital currencies, also known as CBDCs, and how their issuance by nations can impact the cryptocurrency market.

Gonzalez stated that she does not see a clash between cryptocurrencies and CBDCs, believing that both should coexist together in the digital ecosystem that will guide nations in the future. Furthermore, she stated that the proposed issuance of CBDCs by countries shows that they have understood the power of the crypto economy.

A typically positive libertarian sentiment but very false. The power of crypto is that it exists beyond the possibility of human meddling. The power of CBDC is that it exists to MAXIMIZE human meddling… reducing all currency to a mother-may-I voucher system.

The deputy also highlighted that El Salvador is working to expand the effects of the Bitcoin Law and will build an ecosystem based on cryptocurrencies, with the elimination of taxes for sectors linked to the crypto economy.

El Salvador is in for the long haul!

In addition, she highlighted that other laws will be reformulated to meet the new demands of the digital economy and to reduce bureaucracy in public administration procedures. She explained:

.We want it to be possible to open a business in 5 minutes here in El Salvador […] We already have a national digital wallet system for cryptocurrencies and we intend to make a law so that investors from all over the world can have immediate citizenship in El Salvador if they invest in the world of Bitcoin in our country..

LONG HAUL!

It’s such a relief to watch a plucky leader try something new! All we have in GAE are crooks too old to even enjoy what they steal anymore.

And now, my feature presentation: the Kraken Crypto exchange is using this moment, when investments seem lost, to purge the termites!

Kraken Culture Explained

h ttps://kraken-culture.notion.site

If culture is the way of life for a group of people, then company culture is the way of work for a group of people. It is a company’s shared set of traditions, values, goals, attitudes and norms . whether written or unwritten. We believe that every company should be as different and unique as every individual. Just as two individuals may or may not be compatible with one another, an individual and a company may or may not be compatible.

After reading this description of Kraken company culture, we hope that you have a sense of if you would like working here.

Shots fired!

Our Founders have worked together for over 20 years in remote-first companies, in the virtual goods industry. Prior to Kraken, from 2001-2011, they ran a virtual goods marketplace for video games called Lewt, which was constantly plagued by payment problems. Digital currency was obviously the future and when they discovered Bitcoin in 2011 they went all-in, sold Lewt and started Kraken with the belief that Bitcoin . if they could drive adoption . would improve life for billions of people.

Starting a crypto exchange was a daunting task, chock-full of danger, technical and legal complexity but the pair saw it a challenge worth pursuing. They funded the company from their own pockets for the first three years, before investors took the industry seriously. It requires an ideological drive, a greater sense of purpose, to walk away from a successful business and risk everything while “experts” call you crazy.

Eleven years later, our Founders are still on the front lines of the battle. Their values . crypto, cypherpunk, libertarian values . are the core of what continues to make this company the most attractive home for the top minds in the industry.

Bitcoin removes politics from money. The implication is that anyone is free to transact on the Bitcoin network as long as they can cryptographically prove control of their keys. Anyone can participate in Bitcoin mining as long as they follow the rules of the system and expend energy to do so.

There are no shortcuts. No one can change the rules of the system without the overwhelming consensus of all participants, not merely a democratic majority. No one can rewrite history. No one can print money out of thin air and give it to their friends. The culture of Bitcoin . and the aspiration of the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem it spawned . is one of extreme ownership, responsibility, and work.

I badly want to believe that, which is why I haven’t yet invested in crypto. If it sounds too good to be true… but if what I’m seeing in that chart above is GAE’s best shot against it, then it’s time to reconsider.

At Kraken, The Mission is to accelerate the worldwide adoption of cryptocurrency because we believe that this will improve lives of billions of people and usher in a new era of human flourishing.

We will accomplish The Mission by building a bridge from the old world to the new, meeting people where they are, and shepherding them gently across in a way that feels natural, safe, fun and superior to everything they’ve known before.

Props to CEO Jessie Powell for clear communication skills.

Does every Krakenite need to believe in The Mission? We believe so. Why? We are fighting an extremely difficult, protracted battle, facing tremendous uncertainty and peril. For the true believers, the prize makes the pain worthwhile. For those with less conviction, the journey might be too much.

We shouldn’t forget that the biggest enemy is the incumbent system, those fighting to maintain power in the status quo, and the attachment people have to its familiarity, no matter how much they’ve been cheated.

Emphasis theirs. Say what you will about libertarianism, I got my own disagreements, but they’re the first organized resistance against GAE to appear in North American.

**The crypto movement is rooted in “dangerous” ideas**, such as all humans having fundamental rights to:

– Encryption
– Free speech
– Free markets
– Currency choice
– Open source software
– Personal & financial privacy

Some might characterize these beliefs as humanitarian, libertarian or classically liberal. People who hold the above beliefs often believe that none of those rights are possible without these rights:

– Liberty
– Self-defense
– Due process
– Personal property
– Limited government
– Personal bodily autonomy

I hate that the last one is even needed. This regime SUXX.

This should be no surprise to Americans as these rights can all be derived from the US Constitution. While government encroachment on these rights has become tolerated (or even demanded), we believe that we should covet the rights we have because they are never returned once taken. **Our ability to drive crypto adoption in the world depends on these rights.**

Here are some examples of how these beliefs might affect how you work and your experience:

– We will push back on government overreach

BOOM!!! Even square one ain’t safe from Jessie!

– We will go above and beyond to protect the personal and financial privacy of our clients

– We may develop or sponsor open source software that empowers citizens to resist corruption

– We will seek to limit market interference and restrictions on who is allowed to participate in markets

– We will engage in disputes with government agencies where outdated laws are unfairly exclusionary

– We will engage in lobbying, as a single-issue donor, supporting controversial politicians and legislation that furthers ***The Mission**, possibly to the detriment of other civil rights causes

– We will advertise with and sponsor controversial television programs, podcasts, influencers and events, if it furthers ***The Mission***

– We may incorporate firearm and self-defense training in to corporate retreats

Now he’s just twisting the knife.

– We will allow discussion and photographs of firearms in public (but optional) chat rooms

If nobody is ever offended, we either don’t have enough diversity of thought or we don’t have enough transparency in communication.

Diversity… of… THOUGHT!!!

– Should we aim to be exemplary in terms of stereotypical team diversity measurements? *No.*

– Should we aim to be exemplary in terms of execution, product and service quality? *Yes.*

– Should we donate money to the *Current Thing*? *No.*

MEME WIN!

– Should we donate money to crypto research? *Yes.*

– Should we mandate the seasonal flu vaccine? *No.*

He weren’t thinkin’ about no flu when he said THAT. And so it went, and the crybully whining REEEEached to the New York Post:

CEO of crypto firm Kraken offers severance to “triggered” employees

h ttps://nypost.com/2022/06/17/ceo-of-crypto-firm-kraken-offers-severance-to-triggered-employees/

Word. The article’s got nothing more.

I haven’t invested in BTC before because I don’t like investing in stuff I don’t understand, just on principle. But now I see that I’d be investing in libertarians… people, not some money-making risk… and dang if they aren’t doing a thing, I’m reconsidering. AND they’re walking off GAE’s best shot like a Putin?!

Wouldn’t it be something if libertarians becomes the ones to operate North America’s coming black market?

Many believe, mostly by inference and Cohencidence, that one reason the Deep State has so few defectors is that they preferentially hire child molesters, sadists and psychopaths, so that they can be easily accused & destroyed if they step out of line. One can only speculate how many talented project managers and analysts have been passed over by Fedgov because they were honest and honorable.

That’s what this sounded like at first: the CIA cashing out its insurance policy against an agent gone rogue. But as details emerged, no, the CIA is burning its own reputation in a desperate effort to frame a patsy!

Former CIA agent facing trial for the agency’s largest leak drew swastikas on students’ books at high school, report says

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/former-cia-agent-facing-trial-143555409.html

By Sam Tabahriti for Business Insider, 12 June 2022

The former CIA agent [Joshua Schulte] accused of the largest leak in the agency’s history drew swastikas and showed his genitals to other students at high school, according to a profile published by The New Yorker.

Joshua Schulte became so known for his temper at the CIA that he was nicknamed the Nuclear Option, Patrick Radden Keefe wrote.

One of his school friends, Kavi Patel, said the former CIA agent used to “draw swastikas all over the place,” but claimed he was not anti-Semitic.

Did none of that come out in his background check? A top-secret-compartmented-whatever-level background check on a CIA recruit didn’t notice that the new hire was a known anti-Semite and sociopathic exhibitionist?

Or is that why he got the job in the first place?

There’s no way to read this that doesn’t make the CIA look like a hive of rayciss incompetents.

When Schulte was in college, he argued on his blog that pornography is a form of free expression that “is not degrading to women” and “does not incite violence,” Keefe wrote for The New Yorker.

Wait. Those are not crimes. Even many feminists argue that porn is liberating and it’s certainly not violent, unless you count flogging the bishop.

One woman interviewed for the article said Schulte had repeatedly exposed his genitals to other students in the junior high school band. “He would try and touch people, or get people to touch him.that was a daily occurrence,” she said.

How did he even make it out of junior high without a sex offender registry? No way would that get missed during a security clearance screening. Either the CIA retconned the man’s entire life in order to discredit him today… or this was how the agency talent-scouted him in the first place. Could still go either way.

The investigators discovered a large amount of child pornography, and his internet research history showed his interest in WikiLeaks.

They lost me at kiddie porn. Which is it, sexual over-aggression or hidden fetish? A single personality is unlikely to do both. Furthermore, he reportedly liked women. Homo is a major indicator of pedo and that’s missing here.

But it’s really easy to upload a directory of jpegs, then get a warrant and “discover” them. Like accusing a clean-cut guy who is regularly drug-tested by his job, of being a junkie because a search found a dime bag in the laundry basket.

The wikileaks angle, well, that’s the crime he’s actually being accused of.

In March 2017, WikiLeaks published a series of articles disclosing confidential information from the CIA taken from 2 billion pages of documents stolen from the agency.

In his article, Keele quotes a WikiLeaks statement suggesting that the person who leaked the information wanted “to initiate a public debate” about the use of cyberweapons. Investigators suspected Schulte, obtained a warrant and searched his flat.

Hmm, that’s not what either an antiSemitic rapist or a kiddie-diddie would do. That’s what a troubled conscience would do. These accusations are BOGUS!

Let’s go to that New Yorker hatchet job. There’s clearly more to be learned.

The Surreal Case of a C.I.A. Hacker’s Revenge

A hot-headed coder is accused of exposing the agency’s hacking arsenal. Did he betray his country because he was pissed off at his colleagues?

h ttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/06/13/the-surreal-case-of-a-cia-hackers-revenge

By Patrick Radden Keefe, 6 June 2022

Nestled west of Washington, D.C., amid the bland northern Virginia suburbs, are generic-looking office parks that hide secret government installations in plain sight… To the casual observer, they resemble anonymous corporate drones. In fact, they hold Top Secret clearances and work in defense and intelligence. One of these buildings, at an address that is itself a secret, houses the cyberintelligence division of the Central Intelligence Agency. The facility is surrounded by a high fence and monitored by guards armed with military-grade weapons.

Hidden in plain sight, he says. Hmm. I knew a few ‘hoods in Los Angeles where this would have looked normal enough, surely D.C. does too, but this was a suburban office park?

When employees enter the building, they must badge in and pass through a full-body turnstile. Inside, on the ninth floor, through another door that requires badge access, is a C.I.A. office with an ostentatiously bland name: the Operations Support Branch. It is the agency’s secret hacker unit, in which a cadre of ?lite engineers create cyberweapons.

.O.S.B. was focussed on what we referred to as .physical-access operations,. . a senior developer from the unit, Jeremy Weber.a pseudonym.explained. This is not dragnet mass surveillance of the kind more often associated with the National Security Agency. These are hacks, or .exploits,. designed for individual targets. Sometimes a foreign terrorist or a finance minister is too sophisticated to be hacked remotely, and so the agency is obliged to seek “physical access” to that person’s devices. Such operations are incredibly dangerous: a C.I.A. officer or an asset recruited to work secretly for the agency.a courier for the terrorist; the finance minister’s personal chef.must surreptitiously implant the malware by hand. .It could be somebody who was willing to type on a keyboard for us,. Weber said. .It often was somebody who was willing to plug a thumb drive into the machine.” In this manner, human spies, armed with the secret digital payloads designed by the Operations Support Branch, have been able to compromise smartphones, laptops, tablets, and even TVs: when Samsung developed a set that responded to voice commands, the wizards at the O.S.B. exploited a software vulnerability that turned it into a listening device.

The modern equivalent of a keyboard pass-through is hardly an elite achievement.

The members of the O.S.B. “built quick-reaction tools,. Anthony Leonis, the chief of another cyberintelligence unit of the C.I.A., said. .That branch was really good at taking ideas and prototypes and turning them into tools that could be used in the mission, very quickly.” According to the man who supervised the O.S.B., Sean, the unit could be .a high-stress environment,. because it was supporting life-or-death operations.

Without having seen a bio, puff pieces like this confirm for me that Keefe is allied-CIA. “My job is extremely stressful because long after it’s done, some whore will upload it into a billionaire’s Nokia,” no.

“My job is extremely stressful because the heavily armed guards glare at me when I thrust my exposed genitals at them” would be plausible but maybe Schulte outgrew that after junior high? Such never gets mentioned.

But, while these jobs were cutting edge and.at least vicariously.dangerous, the O.S.B. was, in other respects, just like any office. …There was banter, plenty of it, much of it jocular, some of it juvenile. The coders were mostly young men, and they came up with nicknames for one another. One unit member, who got braces as an adult, became known as Train Tracks. When another brought food into the office one day, but didn’t share it with some members of the team, his colleagues bestowed a new handle: Dick Move. The group’s ultimate manager was a more senior C.I.A. official, named Karen, who acknowledged that the members could get .boisterous,. adding, .Folks could get a little loud, a little bit back and forth.” Some O.S.B. guys brought Nerf guns to work.not mere pistols but big, colorful machine guns.and they would occasionally shoot darts at one another from their desks. Sometimes people got carried away, and work was paused for some sustained bombardment. But Silicon Valley was known for tricking out offices with foosball tables and climbing walls, and it’s likely that the C.I.A. wanted to foster a loose culture on the hacking team, to help engineers remain innovative and, when necessary, blow off steam.

One of the Nerf gunfighters was Joshua Schulte.his real name. A skinny Texan in his twenties, he had a goatee and a shaved head. In what may have been a pre?mptive gambit, Schulte gave himself the nickname Bad Ass, going so far as to make a fake nameplate and stick it on his cubicle. But others in the office called him Voldemort.a reference to the hairless villain in the Harry Potter books. Schulte and his colleagues worked on sophisticated malware with such code names as AngerQuake and Brutal Kangaroo. The hackers christened their exploits with names that reflected personal enthusiasms. Several programs were named for brands of whiskey: there was Wild Turkey, and Ardbeg, and Laphroaig. One was called McNugget. Though there was something dissonantly adolescent about naming highly classified digital hacking tools in such a fashion, it seemed harmless enough: if the tools worked as planned, none of the code would ever be detected. And, if the target of an operation did discover that some nasty bit of malware had infiltrated her device, a silly name would offer no clue that it had been created by the United States government. Deniability was central to what the O.S.B. did.

And so it went. To use the sociosexual hierarchy, which is useful here, this was a grouping of Gammas and Deltas. What you’d expect for an office focused on mentally demanding, no-muscle work.

On March 7, 2017, the Web site WikiLeaks launched a series of disclosures that were catastrophic for the C.I.A. As much as thirty-four terabytes of data.more than two billion pages. worth.had been stolen from the agency. The trove, billed as Vault 7, represented the single largest leak of classified information in the agency’s history. Along with a subsequent installment known as Vault 8, it exposed the C.I.A..s hacking methods, including the tools that had been developed in secret by the O.S.B., complete with some of the source code. .This extraordinary collection . . . gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the C.I.A.,. WikiLeaks announced. The leak dumped out the C.I.A..s toolbox: the custom-made techniques that it had used to compromise Wi-Fi networks, Skype, antivirus software. It exposed Brutal Kangaroo and AngerQuake. It even exposed McNugget.

In the days after this colossal breach became public, the C.I.A. declined to comment on the “authenticity or content of purported intelligence documents.” Internally, however, there was a grim realization that the agency’s secrets had been laid bare.

Not really. Somebody published the malware to make Alexa send a copy of what she hears to a certain IP address? The worst part of that would be other intel agencies using the program.

But who could have stolen the data? In a statement, WikiLeaks suggested that the person who shared the intelligence wished “to initiate a public debate” about the use of cyberweapons. But WikiLeaks had also shown, quite recently, a willingness to be a mouthpiece for foreign intelligence services: in 2016, the site had released e-mails from the Democratic National Committee which had been stolen by hackers working on behalf of the Kremlin.

Psst, the secret password was “password”. Nobody could have figured it out unless they were working for the KGB! Hillary Clinton was prescient when she wanted to nuke Russia into glass! See how hard they’re trying to stop her!

Vault 7, some observers speculated, might also be the work of a hostile government. James Lewis, of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told the Times, .A foreign power is much more likely the source of these documents than a conscience-stricken C.I.A. whistle-blower.” Perhaps Russia was again the culprit. Or might it be Iran?

Agreed that a government/corporate actor makes the best sense. While it was a massive data dump, the upshot of it was that device manufacturers learned how to secure their tech against CIA intrusion. Cui Bono? Sony Corp.

By contrast, Snowden revealed that Deep State was directly targeting American citizens in total violation of all restrictions on government power. Cui Bono? the American people.

As the intelligence community mobilized to identify the source of the leak, the federal government found itself in an awkward position.because Donald Trump, shortly before being elected President, had celebrated the hacking of Democratic officials, declaring, .I love WikiLeaks.. Nevertheless, this new breach was perceived as such an egregious affront to U.S. national security that the Administration was determined to get to the bottom of it.

Trump Derangement Syndrome for the motive! If Orange Man likes Wikileaks then somebody must hang for this databreach!

The F.B.I. began an investigation, and agents worked around the clock…

The Bureau was pursuing what it calls an .unsub..or “unknown subject..investigation. .A crime had been committed; we didn’t yet know who had committed it,. one of the lead investigators, Richard Evanchec, later testified.

HAH! The FBI investigates its own informants and false flags so often, they need a special term for investigations that begin without a known perp.

Fairly quickly, the agents ruled out a foreign power as the culprit, deciding that the unsub must be a C.I.A. insider.

And a Drumpf Lover! Or at least an anti-Semite. Hard to find a Drumpf Lover in the CIA.

As the F.B.I. interviewed members of the team, a suspect came into focus: Joshua Schulte. Voldemort.

What a convenient nickname.

He had left the agency in November, 2016, and was said to have been disgruntled.

Four months before the leak? That’s a very unlikely suspect. Even if Schulte was, as reported here, one of the sysadmins.

He now lived in Manhattan…

Not a Trump voter, then. Maybe they couldn’t find any in the CIA at all. Smarter institutions hire token conservatives for exactly this purpose.

…where he worked as a software engineer at Bloomberg. As Schulte was leaving the office one evening, Evanchec and another F.B.I. agent intercepted him. When they explained that they were investigating the leak, he agreed to talk. They went to a nearby restaurant, Pershing Square, opposite Grand Central Terminal. Schulte may not have realized it, but the other patrons seated around them were actually plainclothes F.B.I. agents, who were there to monitor the situation.and to intervene if he made any sudden moves. Schulte was amiable and chatty. But, when Evanchec looked down, he noticed that Schulte’s hands were shaking.

That’s not normal police interview procedure. At all. That’s a blindsiding and fishing expedition.

Schulte was born in 1988 and grew up in Lubbock, Texas. He was the oldest of four boys; his father, Roger, is a financial adviser; his mother, Deanna, is a high-school guidance counsellor. Schulte was a bright child, and in elementary school he was fascinated when one of his teachers took apart a computer in front of the class. By the time he was in high school, his parents told me, he was building computers himself. .Some people are born with certain talents,. Deanna said. While Schulte was studying engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, he did an internship at I.B.M., and another at the N.S.A. On a blog that he maintained in college, he espoused libertarian views. He was a devotee of Ayn Rand, and came to believe that, as he put it, .there is nothing evil about rational selfishness.” He also had a certain intellectual arrogance. .Most Americans, most people in general, are idiots,. he wrote in 2008.

Ayn Rand founded objectivism, not libertarianism. And MPAI is not arrogance. It is an exhausted, world-weary observation of the blindingly obvious.

.I don’t want a “Big Brother” constantly looking over my shoulder,. Schulte once wrote, and his libertarianism might have seemed difficult to square with a career in intelligence.

No shit, Sherlock. Which is it?

…According to Schulte’s parents, his dream was to work for the government. .He never talked about the private sector at all,. Deanna told me, explaining that he was motivated by patriotism. .I think he was very proud to serve his country..

Not libertarian, then. Look, I know this type. I was one myself until… life happened. We’re too nerdy to have strong political beliefs. Religion, maybe, it can keep us grounded, but the nerd mind is like Disneyland on a rocket ship that can go anywhere and do anything, and it’s way more fun than SCREW… the So-Called REal World. Our awareness of the outside world is mostly the bare minimum of food, friends and f*cks to keep our bodily urges from interfering with our explorations of the mind.

Schulte didn’t have any strong political beliefs going into the CIA, if this article is even half-correct. He simply relied on external social conventions while dabbling with the usual mental-political fads along the way. Unfortunately and predictably, that made him a Gamma. The Nerf gunfighting mentioned in this article, is Delta behavior. Guys who can give & take a little and socialize well enough. A Gamma put in that situation, will eventually take that kind of play personally, and that is basically what happened… coinciding with a promotion to administrator. Grudge + authority = bad office karma.

Things escalated between him and coworkers until Schulte began crossing lines:

Up to this point, though Schulte could be vexing and obstreperous, he was working within the broad bureaucratic parameters of the agency. Others might have found his vendetta against [coworker] Amol irrational, but he had confined it to traditional channels, pushing his appeal up the chain of command. Now he embarked on a more decisive escalation, concluding, as he later explained, that “since the Agency wouldn’t help me, perhaps the state would.” Citing fears for his safety, Schulte filed for a restraining order against Amol in Virginia state court.

This was a startling departure from normal conduct for the C.I.A…. The notion of allowing an internal squabble to spill into the unclassified realm was anathema.

If the CIA needed to find a fall guy for the Vault 7 Wikileak, nobody was about to cry for Schulte.

Before Schulte’s departure, there had been one final fracas… Without asking for authorization, [he] reassigned himself access to his old project. When his managers learned of this, they were so alarmed that they stripped Schulte of his administrator privileges.

That seems final. It would be out of character for Schulte to have downloaded the Vault 7 data in preparation for his self-inflicted loss of admin privileges. And of course, any cleanup team worthy of continued employment would have checked what Schulte did during his last few days of access.

This ain’t the kind of guy to nobly alert the world of CIA shenanigans. Unless he thought filing a restraining order on a coworker would establish credibility.

Soon after the F.B.I. began its investigation, agents placed Schulte under surveillance, and they learned that he was about to leave for Mexico. Edward Snowden had fled to Hong Kong and then to Russia, where he remains, beyond the reach of U.S. authorities. Faced with the possibility that Schulte might abscond in similar fashion, investigators made their move, with Agent Evanchec stopping him as he left work at Bloomberg and taking him to Pershing Square. It had emerged that when Schulte left the C.I.A. he had not returned his special black government passport, which assured the holder official status when travelling abroad.

That’s what all passports do. If anything, a special passport for a domestic-based covert-ops office nerd would be a restricted passport, not allowing him to leave USA without special permission. Now that I think about it, unless Schulte had lost his security clearance he would have had to inform the State Dept. of his international travels anyway.

Which would explain how the FBI ‘learned’ of his trip.

Schulte eventually acknowledged that he still had the passport, but maintained that the trip to Mexico was simply a spring-break excursion with his brother. (Roger Schulte told me that the brothers had purchased round-trip tickets for a short visit to Canc?n.)

The investigators had a warrant to search Schulte’s apartment, so they all went together to his building, on Thirty-ninth Street.

They did that ambush interview with a search warrant already in their pocket? Then they weren’t actually trying to learn anything.

But that would have been a perfect moment for a wetworks team to upload some kiddie porn.

It was full of computer equipment. When F.B.I. agents obtained a warrant for Schulte’s search history from Google, they discovered that, starting in August, 2016.when he was preparing to leave the C.I.A..he had conducted thirty-nine searches related to WikiLeaks. In the hours after WikiLeaks posted Vault 7, he searched for .F.B.I.,. and read articles with such titles as .F.B.I. Joins C.I.A. in Hunt for Leaker.. For a guy who was a supposed expert in information warfare, Schulte seemed shockingly sloppy when it came to his own operational security. Even so, the F.B.I. hadn’t found a smoking gun. It had amassed circumstantial evidence tying Schulte to the Vault 7 leak, but it hadn’t found any record of him transmitting data to WikiLeaks.or, indeed, any proof that the secret files had ever been in his possession.

A former CIA cybersecurity guy would naturally have found Wikileaks to be more interesting than most people. Feebs would need something incriminating if they wanted to keep him away from Cancun.

Schulte was not under arrest, so he got a room at a hotel while the search of his apartment continued. The F.B.I. seized his computer hardware, for forensic analysis… they couldn’t access it. But they also had Schulte’s cell phone, and when they checked it they discovered another startling lapse in operational security: he had stored a bunch of passwords on his phone.

Inside was a series of folders. When the investigators opened them, they found an enormous trove of child pornography.

Oh look, they found something incriminating.

On August 24, 2017, at 5:30 a.m., a dozen armed federal agents [arrested him]. At this point, the F.B.I. and federal prosecutors had been investigating Schulte’s possible role in the Vault 7 leak for five months, but they still hadn’t indicted him. Instead, they now charged him with .receipt, possession, and transportation. of child pornography. Schulte pleaded not guilty.

No Cancun for you.

Meanwhile, authorities in Virginia charged him with sexual assault, citing as evidence [a sexually explicit photograph of his female roommate found on his phone]. Schulte was taken into custody once again and locked up at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, in Manhattan.

Hotel Epstein.

He was still there in the summer of 2018, when the government filed a superseding indictment with ten new counts and charged him with leaking Vault 7.

Schulte was on pretrial confinement for roughly an entire year before finally being charged with anything other than what the FBI crime lab might have uploaded onto his devices in order to have an excuse to detain him. Once charged with the data breach, the sex crime charges were dropped.

[Schulte] vowed to go down swinging and “bring this “justice” system crumbling to its knees..

First, he would need a phone. At the prison, he could make calls on pay phones.but they were monitored and did not offer Internet access. Luckily, black-market smartphones were easy to come by…

Dude, no, you were NOT that stupid.

Schulte figured out a way to hot-wire a light switch in his cell so that it worked as a cell-phone charger. (The person who knew Schulte during this period praised his innovation, saying, “After that, all M.C.C. phones were charged that way..)

Nothing mentioned in Schulte’s background suggests he could have come up with that on his own. Neither would illicit smartphones have been accessible without the prisoners having some way to charge them prior to Schulte’s arrival.

Astonishingly, it appears that Schulte may have even made contact with WikiLeaks during this period.

I’m “astonished” only that Schulte didn’t see it coming. Guess what happened next? Somebody who logged in as Schulte used that phone to send MORE info, identifying-quality info, to Wikileaks!

In a Twitter post on June 19, 2018, WikiLeaks released seven installments of Schulte’s prison writings, billing them as an account in which the “Alleged CIA #Vault7 whistleblower. would finally speak out in “his own words.” Schulte seems to have envisaged these essays, which combined diaristic accounts of prison life with a broader critique of the criminal-justice system, as a sort of “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.. He titled them “Presumption of Innocence.” Perhaps WikiLeaks simply stumbled on the Facebook page where these essays appeared.or perhaps it was in touch with Schulte. If indeed Schulte managed to contact WikiLeaks from prison, he was adopting a curious strategy: it would be pathologically self-sabotaging to counter allegations that he had shared a set of documents with WikiLeaks by sharing another set of documents with WikiLeaks.

YOU SELF-FUCKING MORON, SCHULTE! YOUR VERY JOB AT THE CIA WAS TO DESIGN THE SOFTWARE TOOLS TO ALLOW EXACTLY THIS KIND OF FALSE FLAGGING, HONEYTRAPPING AND BACKDOOR ACCESS! YOU GOT FRAMED BY THE VERY TOOLS YOU CREATED EXPLICITLY TO FRAME PEOPLE WITH!

GunnerQ shakes head

In one of these jailhouse meditations, Schulte wrote that, in prison, it is prudent not to discuss your case with anyone, because “people are vultures and will do anything to help their own situation..including barter your information for a better deal.

Or giving you a phone preloaded with CIA smartware.

When this news reached the F.B.I., officials panicked: if Schulte could surreptitiously make calls and access the Internet, there was a danger that he was continuing to leak.

No, the F.B.I. officials laughed their asses off. They had nothing on Schulte; his admin access was revoked long before the leak and he was not the type to think ahead; so they gave Schulte a phone, then logged onto it while he was sleeping and contacted Wikileaks in his name.

.There was a great deal of urgency to find the phone,. one Bureau official later acknowledged. One day in October, 2018, no fewer than fifty agents descended on the Metropolitan Correctional Center, accompanied by a cell-phone-sniffing dog. After they recovered the device, investigators found that it was encrypted.but also that Schulte, true to form, had written the password down in one of his notebooks. He was placed in solitary confinement.

That boldfaced is apparently an experiment in progress, but there’s no reason to not just trace the signal.

[Defense lawyer] Shroff further suggested that the story of Vault 7 was a parable not about the rash decision of one traitor but about the systemic ineptitude of the C.I.A. The agency didn’t even realize that it had been robbed, she pointed out, until WikiLeaks began posting the disclosures. .For God’s sakes,. Shroff said in court. .They went a whole year without knowing that their super-secure system had been hacked.” Then the agency embarked on a witch hunt, she continued, and quickly settled on an “easy target.: Schulte. Within this narrative, the string of prosecution witnesses recounting horror stories about Schulte’s workplace behavior almost seemed to play in Shroff’s favor. Her client was a scapegoat, she insisted.the guy nobody liked.

I concur. Check out what passed for evidence against him:

[On] the sixth day of the trial, prosecutors laid out what they regarded as a coup de gr?ce.the digital equivalent of fingerprints at a crime scene. Even after Schulte was stripped of his administrative privileges, he had secretly retained the ability to access the O.S.B. network through a back door, by using a special key that he had set up. The password was KingJosh3000. The government contended that on April 20, 2016, Schulte had used his key to enter the system. The files were backed up every day, and while he was logged on Schulte accessed one particular backup.not from that day but from six weeks earlier, on March 3rd. The O.S.B. files released by WikiLeaks were identical to the backup from March 3, 2016. As Denton told the jurors, it was the “exact backup, the exact secrets, put out by WikiLeaks..

Why would Schulte have skipped the latest six weeks of info, if his goal was to dump info? Somebody NOT Schulte, but trying to frame Schulte by using his login, absolutely they would have gone back six weeks… in order to be consistent with the Wikileaks date.

But why would Schulte? “I’m gonna leak all the information I can. Except for the last six weeks of data.”

On March 9th, [the jury] convicted Schulte of two lesser charges.contempt of court and lying to the F.B.I..but hung on the eight more serious counts, including those accusing him of transmitting national-security secrets to WikiLeaks. Judge Crotty declared a mistrial.

The article blames the jurors for not understanding the technical complexities of the case and the government overzealously protecting the lives of America’s heroes, but that verdict sounds appropriate. Schulte was never anything but a pre-hated patsy.

Schulte currently resides at the Metropolitan Detention Center, in Brooklyn, where he has been preparing for his new trial [beginning on June 13].

Coinciding with these hatchet-job articles.

Which begs the question once again, how did the CIA not know about those graphic sex crimes and antisemitic vandalism when they gave him top-tier classified admin access? Because none of it is true, Schulte is just a Gamma-class jerkwad that nobody will miss, and somebody needs to hang for the Vault 7 leak.

This is a scary time in the Global American Empire’s fall. The regime is so desperate and divorced from reality that it’s lashing out. Here, the CIA is publicly admitting it gave top-level classified admin access to a known sex offender just to make Schulte look a little more evil at the start of his retrial.

And it’s not even true.

There’s a trend in dissident circles of hanging it up, wondering “why bother” and/or dejectedly staring at the current of Stupid picking up speed across the globe.

It’s normal. Heck, it’s inevitable. Ennui is something that we should expect to happen as society begins the inevitable and planned breakup. There’s nothing left to talk about. We’ve made our choices and now come the consequences.

It’s ironic that Woke refers to the people most desperate to sleepwalk through life, while I and we search for people awake to what is going on. Satanically ironic, in the same way that gay now means you want to rape as many children as possible before a Father walks into the room.

That is also a step in social separation. Hatreds are being acted upon. This Gay Pride month has been in-your-face-you-Christians to a degree never before seen in North America. Geography is being renamed and statues destroyed to erase our past. ‘Groid behavior is simply off-the-charts while whites are increasingly (and proudly) banned from even having a job. And then there’s the vaxx parting us, like Fauci doing a Moses, into Us Deplorables and Them Idiots.

Thanks to dissident media over the last couple decades, everybody has had the information to make their choice. Or at least, had access to “misinformation” that they proudly shunned like the proverbial plague.

Misinformation such as THIS!

Monkeypox dilemma: How to warn gay men about risk without fueling hate

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/monkeypox-dilemma-warn-gay-men-164659930.html

Monkeypox had arrived in Salt Lake County, with two men testing positive after returning from Europe, the epicenter of a global outbreak concentrated in gay and bisexual men.

Officials in the Utah county faced a dilemma. They wanted to warn men who have sex with men that they were at higher risk for exposure to the virus. But they feared unintended consequences: heterosexuals assuming they’re not susceptible, closeted men in a heavily Mormon community avoiding care so they’re not seen as gay, and critics exploiting the infections to sow bigotry.

In Salt Lake County, health officials consulted with advocacy groups and decided to get the message out to gay and bisexual men without making the message about them. At a booth during the Utah Pride Festival in Salt Lake City this month, Health Department staff distributed business-card-sized monkeypox warnings urging people to avoid close or sexual contact with anyone experiencing a rash or flu-like symptoms. The warning didn’t say anything about the gay community.

I’m gonna quote that in the future, when people ask why I don’t trust doctors anymore. And God will not be mocked. While it was probably Kill Gates’ action, I’m enjoying the divine coincidence of Sodomites doubling down on perverting children while living in terror of growing pus-wart Marks Of Cain on their faces. Their corruption is coming full circle.

We obviously cannot coexist with such people. Let the separation happen. It’s been a long time in coming.

God grant His every child a destination.

Some Narrative fails… they just… write themselves.

Rat birth control used to manage rodent population in American cities

That headline was apparently changed after the fact to:

Some of America’s most rat-infested cities are trying rodent birth control. Will it work?

h ttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/06/12/rat-birth-control-after-poison-ban/7512605001

And to bypass the paywall,

h ttps://news.yahoo.com/americas-most-rat-infested-cities-100031382.html

With California and other states restricting the use of highly toxic rat poisons, cities around the country have turned to a new method to try to control their rat populations: birth control.

Rather than a pill, the contraceptive, otherwise known as ContraPest, is deployed in bait boxes as a liquid that is high in fat and water content and targets their reproductive capabilities, preventing them from contributing to the already-existing population.

.The problem is that rats reproduce at an incredible rate,. ContraPest CEO Ken Siegel said. .You just can’t kill them fast enough to offset that reproduction rate. And so ContraPest is really the only solution that’s out there that deals with the second half of the equation, which is birth rate..

If you can’t just kill them… then birth-control them.

San Francisco and Los Angeles . which are both among the top five “rattiest” cities in 2021, according to Orkin’s annual report . were among the cities to start using ContraPest as a method of pest management after California banned the use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides. Those include some familiar brand-names such as d-Con, Hot Shot and Talon.

For decades, Marxists have used their control of California to force the nation’s manufacturers to choose between complying with insane Commiefornian environmentalist regulations, or losing access to 25% of the American economy. But the Marxists have used that sledgehammer so often that it broke. You haven’t seen it in the headlines yet, but the silver lining of supply lines crashes and the spiking inflation rate is that manufacturers are choosing to abandon California instead of expensively and constantly retooling their products. They don’t have enough stock to satisfy existing demand in the other 75% of America so there’s no longer any loss to be suffered.

It sucks for me personally, but “not for sale in California” is rapidly and finally becoming a thing.

ContraPest has been found to help decrease rat populations by over 90% based on studies done at various locations, including in Washington and a poultry facility in California, according to Brandy Pyzna, the vice president of research and regulatory affairs at the company.

.I think in the pest control industry, at least in the US, the idea of fertility control, they’ve heard about it, but it’s not widely understood why it’s beneficial,. Pyzna said. .It does take a lot of education to explain to people why you wouldn’t just kill..

It’s simple. You wouldn’t just kill those mammals because some of them still have guns.

Neither was I the only one. There were several accounts of SCOTUS judge Sotomayor staying home because fellow judge Gorsuch refused to wear a face diaper… well, actually just repeats of NPR’s account. Does this look like the face of a psycho freaky-Karen promoted far beyond her wits and ability?

Yes, absolutely.

Neither did Sotomayor help her credibility by recently…

h ttps://news.yahoo.com/sotomayor-falsely-claims-100-000-185529971.html

By Zachary Evans for National Review

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor falsely claimed that 100,000 children are in “serious condition” from Covid during oral arguments on the Biden administration’s employer vaccine mandate on Friday.

“We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators. We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition, and many on ventilators,” Sotomayor claimed.

The current number of confirmed pediatric hospitalizations with Covid in the U.S. is 3,342, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services released on Friday. The average number of children admitted to the hospital per day with Covid was 776 as of Tuesday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

She’s a nutcase of a fruit basket, so of course she’d play the victim card by staying home because a man wasn’t taking Coof-Coof seriously. It passed my smell test. I nearly did a post on him and I’m sorry I didn’t (busy with work), because then I would have had the original of this article:

Report Contradicts NPR’s Nina Totenberg: Justice Gorsuch Not Defying Roberts, No Mask Mandate for SCOTUS

h ttps://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/01/18/report-sonia-sotomayor-still-working-remotely-because-neil-gorsuch-wont-wear-mask/

By Joel B. Pollack, 18 January 2022

Notice the mismatch between the title and URL. That’s become one of my standard check-for-tricks.

An NPR story that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor will continue to work remotely because fellow Justice Neil Gorsuch refuses to wear a mask in court despite a request from Chief Justice John Roberts to do so was quickly debunked by a Supreme Court source.

NPR reported Tuesday that the justices were like a “dysfunctional family”:

“It was pretty jarring earlier this month when the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court took the bench for the first time since the omicron surge over the holidays. All were now wearing masks. All, that is, except Justice Neil Gorsuch. What’s more, Justice Sonia Sotomayor was not there at all, choosing instead to participate through a microphone setup in her chambers.

“Sotomayor has diabetes, a condition that puts her at high risk for serious illness, or even death, from COVID-19. She has been the only justice to wear a mask on the bench since last fall when, amid a marked decline in COVID-19 cases, the justices resumed in-person arguments for the first time since the onset of the pandemic.

“Now, though, the situation had changed with the omicron surge, and according to court sources, Sotomayor did not feel safe in close proximity to people who were unmasked. Chief Justice John Roberts, understanding that, in some form asked the other justices to mask up.

“They all did. Except Gorsuch, who, as it happens, sits next to Sotomayor on the bench. His continued refusal since then has also meant that Sotomayor has not attended the justices’ weekly conference in person, joining instead by telephone.”

But Fox News later reported that according to a source at the Supreme Court the story was not accurate. Chief Justice John Roberts had not asked the other justices to mask up for arguments, and Justice Sotomayor had not requested Justice Gorsuch wear a mask. Given those facts, there was no refusal by Justice Gorsuch to wear a mask.

Not accurate, hell. That was FABRICATED.

A day after the Fox report contradicting NPR’s Totenberg, Gorsuch and Sotomayor released a joint statement personally refuting the story.

Editor’s Note: This story and the headline were updated to include that a source at the Supreme Court said the NPR story was not accurate, and that Fox News reported the inaccuracies.

It’s interesting that Totenberg’s libel of Gorsuch was accepted at face value by multiple conservative and liberal outlets. The first takeaway is that SJWs believe that normal human behavior is toxic. Totenberg accused Gorsuch of… horrors!… breathing unfiltered oxygen even if it inconvenienced a woman enough to make her not bother coming into work.

If you can’t risk getting sick then you SHOULD stay home! What you shouldn’t do is go about your daily routine while screeching at everybody around you that THEY should protect YOUR health.

NPR wanted to believe that Sotomayor was a victim.

Breitbart wanted to believe that Gorsuch was a normal person.

I wanted to believe that SCOTUS was having the same problems with living a normal life that I am. But no, the Ruling Elites of the judicial system in D.C. are happily going maskless.

“A source at the Supreme Court says there has been no blanket admonition or request from Chief Justice Roberts that the other Justices begin wearing masks to arguments.”

Another takeaway is that news media is more incestuous than Lot in a cave with his daughters. When I find an interesting story, I try to backtrack it to the original source rather than copying a copy. This isn’t always feasible, for example paywalls or me not being on Twitter/Facebook, but the practice of using original sources is a good one.

Another is that media manipulation has gone mainstream. So many people know now that the Establishment media lies, that its members have ceased trying to hide it.

One wonders if ((Totenberg)) will get axed for reporting a completely false, easily disprovable story.

*checks*

Well, well. Here’s yet another takeaway: SJWs always double down.

NPR reporter fumes over Supreme Court statement refuting outlet’s story, implies Gorsuch and Sotomayor lied

h ttps://www.foxnews.com/media/npr-gorsuch-sotomayor-david-gura

By Brian Flood, 19 January 2022

An NPR reporter appeared to call Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Sonia Sotomayor liars on Wednesday after they issued a joint statement disputing a recent NPR report as “false.”

NPR reported the conservative justice refused to wear a mask on the bench despite requests to do so, but Gorsuch and Sotomayor issued a statement calling it a “false” story that surprised them. As the joint statement spread across the media industry, NPR reporter David Gura raised eyebrows by declaring the justices’ statement was “at best false” while he condemned reporters who passed it along.

Totenberg: “Gorsuch forced Sotomayor to work from home!”

Gorsuch & Sotomayor: “Huh? No, he didn’t.”

Gura: “Liars!”

We saw this behavior during Gamergate. Somebody is having sex with Totenberg!

“I [sic] surprised at how many Supreme Court correspondents I admire are passing along a statement from two justices that is at best false without any context whatsoever,” Gura tweeted shortly after Gorsuch and Sotomayor issued their statement.

The link contains some savage return-tweets. A sample:

Larry O’Connor: “The statement from the justices is wrong because it is at odds with his colleagues report about those very same justices. Ya gotta admire this”

And from the comments, summing my own opinion: When one of the most liberal justices teams up with a very conservative justice to issue a joint statement refuting NPR, I think the nod goes to the justices that NPR was wrong.

The first story was a lie by Totenberg. The second was a refutation of the truth by a peer of Totenberg. And between the two, I got duped into believing that SCOTUS had real-world problems.

Canadian pastors are staging a “Conversion Sunday” on Jan. 16, publicly preaching Biblical sexuality in defiance of Bill C-4 that redefines Christianity as a myth. John MacArthur popularized it in USA. Then he started taking flak for being over the target!

A Stand on Biblical Sexual Morality

h ttps://www.gracechurch.org/news/posts/2307

By John MacArthur, 28 December 2021

I write to you this Christmas season to call your attention to an urgent matter in which the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is under attack.

On December 22, I received an email from Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. You will remember that he was recently imprisoned for keeping his church open during COVID-19 lockdowns. James is a graduate of The Master’s Seminary and co-author (with Dr. Nathan Busenitz) of an excellent new book—God and Government (to be released March 2022). James’s recent email gave me insight into the Canadian government’s decision to pass Bill C-4, which “directly comes against parents and counsellors who would seek to offer biblical counsel with respect to sexual immorality and gender.” James indicates that it could be used to “criminalize evangelism.” To clarify the bill, James forwarded this email from Pastor Andrew DeBartolo:

“Pastor John,

“Thank you so much for your willingness not only to shine a light on the situation here in Canada but also your partnership in calling other men to preach on biblical sexuality on January 16 in unity and solidarity with ministers here in Canada. I (and we) are truly grateful for your ministry and service.

“Bill C-4 passed through the House and the Senate without opposition. Not a single dissenting vote was cast by any member of the conservative party. It received Royal Assent on December 8, which means it will come into Law after January 8, 2022. The Bill will amend the Criminal Code in Canada to ban conversion therapy. It will criminalize, among other things, “causing another person to undergo conversion therapy; promoting or advertising conversion therapy.”

“In the Preamble of the Bill, it says that the belief that “heterosexuality, cisgender gender identity and gender expression that conforms to the sex assigned to a person at birth are to be preferred over other sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions” is a “myth.” According to Canadian law, as of January 8, 2022, the belief in God’s design for marriage and sexuality will now be seen as a myth.

“The Bill defines conversion therapy as, “a practice, treatment or service designed to change a person’s sexual orientation to heterosexual; change a person’s gender identity to cisgender; change a person’s gender expression so that it conforms to the sex assigned to the person at birth; repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behavior; repress a person’s non-cisgender gender identity; or repress or reduce a person’s gender expression that does not conform to the sex assigned to the person at birth.”

“The definition is intentionally broad, and it can clearly be used against any preacher or elder who either speaks against homosexuality/transgenderism or who counsels a person to obey Christ and abandon their homosexual/transgender actions and lifestyle. This means as of January 8, 2022, it will be against the law to preach, teach, or counsel regarding God’s design for marriage and sexuality.

“Everyone who knowingly causes another person to undergo conversion therapy – including by providing conversion therapy to that other person – is guilty of an indictable offense and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than five years.” Similarly, “Everyone who knowingly promotes or advertises conversion therapy is guilty of an indictable offense and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than two years.”

“On January 16, 2022, faithful men across this country (and many in the United States as well) will be preaching on God’s design for marriage and a biblical ethic of sexuality. We will be doing so illegally, declaring to the State that there is one God and one Lord over His church, and that Christ alone gets to both define marriage and dictate what is required in the pulpit. We are honored that our American brothers will be joining us in this.

“Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or require any more information.

“Yours in Christ,

“Andrew DeBartolo
Teaching Elder, Encounter Church”

I changed the boldfaced from the original to emphasize that this Sunday is the big day. If I had to choose the one thing I hate most about professional journalists, among their many and malicious faults, it’s their habit of never talking about anything until it’s too late for normal people to get involved. What’s the point of being informed without the opportunity to act?

I am eager to support our Canadian brothers and to preach on biblical sexual morality on January 16, and I invite you as a faithful pastor to do the same. Our united stand will put the Canadian and the U.S. governments on notice that they have attacked the Word of God. We are all well-aware of the evil power and destructive influence of the homosexual and transgender ideology. Our government is bent on not only normalizing this perversion, but also legalizing it, and furthermore criminalizing opposition to it.

In 2012, California passed Senate Bill 1172 banning “gay conversion” (alongside New York, New Jersey, and Nevada). In doing this, the California government sought to prohibit any correction of an unbiblical view of sexual identity, because “California has a compelling interest in protecting the…wellbeing of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals.”

At the Pentecostal church I attended at the time, the pastor’s wife quietly circulated a petition against the bill. No sermon or official notice was made on the topic.

And on August 18, 2020, the Democratic Party declared at the National Convention that it would “ban harmful conversion therapy practices.” The Obama administration appointed more than 250 LGBTQ+ people to serve in the government. The Biden administration has promised to increase that number, and they have done so thus far.

As aggressive as this political priority is to make perversion safe from criticism in the United States, Canada is even further ahead. On November 29, 2021, The House of Commons passed Bill C-4 with a completely unanimous vote, amending the code to include “conversion therapy.” Since this law takes effect on January 8, 2022, faithful Canadian pastors are going to preach on the issue…

YES! Win! O Canada!

…calling for a biblical understanding of sexual sin, the eternal judgment that falls on the unrepentant and gospel-rejecting sinners, and the grace of God in the gospel which offers forgiveness to those who repent and believe in Christ.

Godspeed, eh, my Canuckian brothers! What a relief that the organized Church is FINALLY sprouting a backbone!

Also sending his respects, in his own way, is the Prince of Lies:

Christian conservatives respond to John MacArthur comparing ‘religious freedom’ to ‘idolatry’

h ttps://www.christianpost.com/news/christians-respond-to-john-macarthurs-religious-freedom-comments.html

By Ryan Foley, 14 January 2022

Prominent pastor and theologian John MacArthur has come under fire after a video resurfaced of him taking issue with the idea of “religious freedom,” with some Christian speakers debating whether his comments were taken out of context.

A video of one of MacArthur’s sermons from early last year at California’s Grace Community Church resurfaced over the weekend after Matthew Sheffield, who describes himself as a “former right-wing activist, now working to elevate new topics & voices against fascism,” shared it on Twitter.

That says it all. As terrified as Globohomos are of the white supremacists about to overrun our dumbocracy and install Cheeto Pinochet, one would think they wouldn’t advertise their politics on social media so prominently.

“Extremist Christians love to claim they’re all about ‘religious freedom,’ but the truth is that they hate the idea,” Sheffield, the editor of The Flux and host of the “Theory of Change” podcast, wrote.

“Sometimes when they’re in a safe space, they admit this,” he added. Sheffield cited the video, taken from a January 2021 sermon, as an example of what many Christians “really think” about the topic of religious freedom.

A year-old sermon is resurfacing the week before a rare, coordinated effort against the world government’s sodomy mandate? Not a coincidence. This was obviously a hit piece waiting in a file cabinet for the next time John Mac did a thing.

That’s what Jeebus would do! Keep dirt on people for character assassination purposes! Down with them fascists!

In the video, MacArthur asserts that “I don’t even support religious freedom.” He went on to allege that “religious freedom is what sends people to Hell.”

“To say I support religious freedom is to say I support idolatry. It’s to say I support lies. I support Hell. I support the kingdom of darkness. You can’t say that. No Christian with half a brain would say ‘we support religious freedom.’” MacArthur suggested that Christians should proclaim that “we support the truth” as the crowd erupted into applause.

Hmm. I want context before saying anything.

He warned his congregation that “if the new administration supports religious freedom, get ready.” “Persecution will be ramped up because the more supportive they are of the devil’s lies, the less they’re going to tolerate the truth of scripture.”

Hello, sweet context! Yes, religious freedom is BAD when permitted to Satanists and atheists. If our tyrants were any more Tolerant, they’d make Christianity a hate crime.

Oh wait, Trudeau just did that.

He vowed that “We’re not going to lobby for freedom of religion,” asking, “what kind of nonsense is that?” The clip concluded with MacArthur maintaining that “we are in the world to expose all those lies as lies.”

Preach, Brother John!

Prominent Christian commentators quickly condemned MacArthur’s remarks, including former National Review writer and current senior editor of The Dispatch David French.

Shut up, Wesley!

Lamenting MacArthur’s analysis as “disturbing,” French took to Twitter to slam “the astonishing arrogance in his statements and an astonishing lack of respect for dissent from his version of the truth.”

French pushed back on the idea that MacArthur’s words were taken out of context.

“My recent tweets critiquing MacArthur referenced his words in context, and in context he really did say ‘I could never really concern myself with religious freedom. I wouldn’t fight for religious freedom because I won’t fight for idolatry.’”

Context doesn’t mean “quote them a second time”.

Brooke Medina, vice president of the conservative think tank John Locke Foundation, reacted to MacArthur’s comments by tweeting that “Christian martyrs over the past two millennia would beg to differ, John.”

She alleged that by stating opposition to the idea of religious freedom, the pastor does not “believe your fellow image bearer is worthy of agency.”

“It means you think so little of the kindness of God, which leads us to repentance, that you would prefer the force of the State. It also means you prefer outward conformity over inner charge. History is littered with bloody, heinous examples of powerful people who used their opposition of religious freedom to imprison and kill their detractors.”

Next week: Quod Erat Demonstrandum! These Canadian pastors are risking their freedom and livelihoods in order to oppose the devil’s “religious freedom”. Brooke rushed to judge MacArthur in a way that might not look good in a few days.

Christianity is not optional. America is freedom to worship Christ as you wish, not freedom to worship Allah or the Talmud. Does Brooke truly think that religion makes so little difference, that it doesn’t really matter which one you believe? I bet John Locke didn’t!

Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary President Adam Greenway shared the Southern Baptist Convention’s teaching on religious liberty, emphasizing that “few commitments are more intrinsic to our Baptist identity than this one.”

The teaching cites more than a dozen Bible passages when asserting that “The state owes to every church protection and full freedom in the pursuit of its spiritual ends.”

Hold this thought, that a Southern Baptist leader is faulting MacArthur for his rejection of religious freedom.

After viewing MacArthur’s entire sermon, conservative radio host Erick Erickson offered his interpretation of MacArthur’s analysis.

“He was not talking about the ability of different faiths to worship in a multi-ethnic country of different faiths. He was talking about Christians believing Christianity is true and all other religions are false and don’t really give you freedom.”

My interpretation, informed by the Daily Wire, is… Sheffield edited the video clip to make MacArthur look bad.

Clip Of Pastor John MacArthur Had Critics Pouncing…Turns Out It Was Edited

By Megan Basham, 11 January 2022

Fast and effective work, Megan!

A one-minute-and-forty-seven-second clip of influential pastor John MacArthur speaking about religious liberty began circulating on social media Monday. Some critics claimed it proved the longtime teacher of the Grace To You radio ministry doesn’t believe the U.S. should protect religious freedom. Others insisted his words meant he advocates for fascism, state religion, and forced conversions.

The clip gained traction after being posted to a Twitter account belonging to Matthew Sheffield, a self-described “former right-wing activist” now working to amplify “voices against fascism.” It was taken from a sermon immediately after President Joe Biden’s inauguration in January 2021. MacArthur shares that he wasn’t impressed by an evangelical publicist who assured him the new administration would uphold religious freedom.

“I don’t even support religious freedom,” MacArthur says in the video. “Religious freedom is what sends people to hell. To say I support religious freedom is to say I support idolatry. It’s to say I support lies. I support hell. I support the kingdom of darkness.”

MacArthur then appears to take aim at the political lobbying arm of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), the largest protestant denomination in the nation.

Under the previous head, Russell Moore, the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission filed an amicus brief in favor of a Muslim community’s effort to build a mosque, with the rationale that supporting religious freedom broadly helps protect liberty for Christians. Moore also vocally defended devoting SBC resources to supporting the rights of Muslims at the denomination’s annual convention in 2016.

MacArthur seemed to contrast his church with Moore’s approach, saying it has no plans to lobby the government. “We’re not going to lobby for freedom of religion. What kind of nonsense is that? We are in the world to expose all those lies as lies,” he said.

Remember that held thought? Greenway was a peer of Russel Moore until the latter resigned from the Baptist leadership in May 2021. He was in an excellent position to know that MacArthur had not been talking about religious freedom for Christians but instead, talking against Baptist support for Islamic freedom. It seems that MacArthur is not a fan of sanctioning Islam in the name of Christ… and neither am I!

I’d wondered why Moore resigned. None of the explanations offered at the time made sense. But this, formally using Christ to advocate Mohammed, would be an excellent and Godly justification for forcing him out. Which makes Greenway playing dumb about MacArthur’s statement look even worse.

Dozens of political and religious pundits reposted the video to their large social media platforms. Political commentator David French tweeted the clip out to his more than 266,000 followers, calling it “disturbing.” He added in a second post, “There’s an astonishing arrogance in [MacArthur’s] statements and an astonishing lack of respect for dissent from his version of the truth.”

Economist editor Jon Fasman said, “What does he support instead of religious freedom? Forced conversions? The banning and criminalisation of any faith other than his?”

Good questions! Did you check, like I did? *crickets*

Numerous other SBC leaders, including Southwestern Seminary president Adam Greenway, Christianity Today editor Ed Stetzer…

Russell Moore’s current boss.

…and high-profile Southeastern Seminary professor Karen Swallow Prior tweeted and retweeted statements about religious freedom that appeared intended to criticize MacArthur.

Heh heh, “Karen Swallow Prior”. I must see!

Karen Swallow Prior, a Southern Baptist #MeToo leader, makes first Nashville visit since being hit by a bus

h ttps://www.tennessean.com/story/news/religion/2018/05/31/southern-baptist-karen-swallow-prior-bus-crash-paige-patterson-ousted-president-southwestern/655461002/

By Holly Meyer, 28 September 2018

The last time Karen Swallow Prior visited Nashville she was hit by a bus.

There IS a God! The stories that one can find on the Internet!

So, the author and English professor at Liberty University in Virginia was a bit nervous to return to the city this week for the first time since the May 23 accident that nearly killed her.

“It’s been a redemptive kind of return,” she said.

Prior, a leading voice in the Southern Baptists’ own #MeToo moment, which was building as the bus hit her, spent a lot of this visit talking about her new book. “On Reading Well: Finding the Good Life through Great Books” looks at how great literature can teach readers about virtues and good character.

The timing of the wreck was uncanny. Prior was in the midst of raising the voices of thousands of Southern Baptist women calling out Paige Patterson, a revered leader in the evangelical denomination, for his past counsel to abused women and crude remarks about a teen girl’s appearance. Patterson apologized for his past comments.

The day the bus hit her, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary removed Patterson as its president and gave him emeritus status. As Prior recovered at her home in Virginia, the controversy surrounding Patterson continued to play out.

Eventually, he was ousted from the Southern Baptist seminary in Texas over his mishandling of past allegations from students who told him they were raped. Patterson disputes that he mishandled abuse reports. He has since returned to the pulpit, according to a Washington Post report.

h ttps://www.tennessean.com/story/news/religion/2018/05/31/southern-baptist-karen-swallow-prior-bus-crash-paige-patterson-ousted-president-southwestern/655461002/

A white shuttle bus carrying seven people for a Civil War tour hit Prior. She did not have the right of way, the bus did, according to the crash report provided by the Metro Nashville Police Department.

No one else was taken to the hospital and the sightseers were able to complete their tour as scheduled with another bus and guide, said Chuck Abbott, the CEO of Gray Line of Tennessee.

“We’re sorry this person was hit. We spend a lot of time talking about safety and always being aware of your surroundings,” Abbott said. “We always hate when something like that happens, but some things are sort of outside our control.”

Paige Patterson’s ousting was, basically, a color revolution within the Baptist hierarchy. Alas that God could not reach Mizz Swallow even with a party bus.

End segue

It turned out, however, that along misrepresenting the context of a more than hour-long sermon, the brief clip itself was edited to remove a middle portion that would have further clarified MacArthur’s remarks.

No way that was an honest mistake!

In the full, unedited clip, after MacArthur says, “If the new administration supports religious freedom, get ready; persecution will be ramped up because the more supportive they are of the devil’s lies, the less they’re going to tolerate the truth of Scripture,” he adds this:

“We condemn every lie, and we call every person to this: there’s one true God, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. You’ll have no other gods before Me.’ Right? There’s salvation in one name and one name only: that’s Jesus Christ.”

Amen!

This, along with the rest of the sermon, suggests that MacArthur was speaking about who the church should look to for protection — not earthly powers, but God. Grace to You executive director, Phil Johnson, confirmed that this was part of MacArthur’s intent.

“MacArthur is certainly not advocating the theonomic notion that Christians today should commandeer governments in order to force Christianity on the world,” Johnson told The Daily Wire. Referring to Matthew 20:25-27 and Revelation 2:27, he further clarified the intent of the clip:

“Because Christ is perfectly righteous, He has the right and the authority to rule the whole world without tolerating the kind of spiritual free-for-all that people today call “religious freedom.” But because human governments are run by fallen people who tend to misuse power, we do not believe Caesar should have authority over people’s consciences when it comes to the question of whom and how they worship.”

The Daily Wire reached out to French to ask if he was aware that the clip was edited when he circulated it but did not receive a response. Stetzer and Medina also did not respond by the time of publication. Greenway offered a statement through a seminary spokesperson…

There it is. A continent-sized Christian protest against literal Globohomo is coming up this Sunday! Hoping to derail it, false priest Matthew Sheffield photoshopped an old sermon of MacArthur’s and circulated it after soliciting quotes from his fellow false priests infesting the Baptist hierarchy. None of whom explained their sentiments later on.

Congrats, Pastor MacArthur! God’s grace be up you, brave clergy of Canada! Taking flak means you’ve over the target! And I might just go to church this weekend.

Don’t panic like these people did. Just because it sounds like something Biden would do, doesn’t mean Biden is actually doing it. The Christian Post and Ted Cruz have already picked up the story without yet catching the… catch.

BREAKING: Biden Administration Making Lists of Religious Vaccine Objectors

h ttps://www.dailysignal.com/2022/01/11/breaking-biden-administration-making-lists-of-religious-vaccine-objectors/

Opinion By Sarah Parshall Perry & GianCarlo Canaparo, 11 January 2011

A tiny administrative agency in the District of Columbia announced a new policy Tuesday that will likely serve as a model for a whole-of-government push to assemble lists of Americans who object on religious grounds to a COVID-19 vaccine.

Ominous and shocking!

The Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia—a federal independent entity that assists officers in the District of Columbia courts in formulating release recommendations and providing supervision and services to defendants awaiting trial—announced a new records system that will store the names and “personal religious information” of all employees who make “religious accommodation requests for religious exception from the federally mandated vaccination requirement.”

The announcement does not explain why the agency needs to create this list except to say that it will “assist the Agency in the collecting, storing, dissemination, and disposal of employee religious exemption request information collected and maintained by the Agency.” In other words, the list will help the agency make a list.

Actually, the announcement DID explain why the agency is creating the list.

Segue

h ttps://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/01/11/2021-28135/privacy-act-of-1974-system-of-records

AGENCY:
Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency.

ACTION:
Notice of a new system of records.

SUMMARY:
Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia (an independent entity established within the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (hereafter “CSOSA” or “Agency”)) is issuing a public notice of its intent to create the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia Privacy Act system of records, the “Employee Religious Exception Request Information System.” This system of records maintains personal religious information collected in response to religious accommodation requests for religious exception from the federally mandated vaccination requirement in the context of a public health emergency or similar health and safety incident, such as a pandemic, epidemic, natural disaster or national or regional emergency; and/or any other lawful collection of employee information or data that is necessary to ensure a safe and healthy environment for individuals who are occupying PSA facilities, attending PSA-sponsored events, or otherwise engaged in official business on behalf of the Agency. The system of records will assist the Agency in the collection, storing, dissemination, and disposal of employee religious exemption request information collected and maintained by the Agency, as referenced above.

That last bold-faced is critical. PSA is compiling a list, yes, but only for the PSA’s internal use.

DATES:
This new system will be effective upon publication. New or modified routine uses will be effective February 10, 2022. Submit comments on or before February 10, 2022.

The Privacy Act [of 1974] requires all federal Executive Branch agencies to publish in the Federal Register a description denoting the existence and character of each system of records that the agency maintains, and the routine uses of each system. The “Employee Religious Exception Request Information System” system of records notice is published in its entirety below.

This was NOT done at the command of either Biden or Congress. One can see how a keyword search would turn this up but the briefest investigation shows that it’s not a Deep State initiative.

End segue

The announcement also does not say what the agency will do with this information after it has decided an employee’s religious accommodation request.

Hmm, what DOES the PSA do?

Segue

h ttps://www.psa.gov

The Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia is the Federal agency responsible for gathering information about newly arrested defendants and preparing the recommendations considered by the Court in deciding release options. We recommend the least restrictive conditions that promote public safety and return to court. Virtually no defendants currently are released on surety bonds.

PSA supervises defendants released to the community through a variety of programs that include drug treatment, mental health services and referral to a range of social services.

The PSA is an extrajudicial surveillance organization. While pretrial confinement is a legitimate law enforcement function, the PSA is 1. not a law enforcement agency or under Dept. of Justice authority, 2. an activist organization dedicated to the no-bail agenda and 3. a D.C. specific entity. It’s only “Federal” in the sense that the District of Columbia is a city governed directly by Congress. With all of the honesty and efficiency that that implies.

It’s dirty, obviously, but it’s locally dirty. It’s not indexing everybody everywhere who filed a religious objection.

End segue

And neither does the announcement explain why the Biden administration chose to test this policy in an agency with a majority-black staff, who are both more religious and less vaccinated than other groups. So much for the president’s commitment to “racial equity.”

That should have been a red flag, yes? As much as we mock the Left for its hysteria, there’s also plenty of hysteria to be found on the Right. I don’t normally post on the false trails that I go down. Suffice to say, there are over 100 posts in my “drafts” that started strong then hit a couple inconvenient facts when my research began.

What’s really going on with this announcement at this tiny agency? Likely, the Biden administration is using it to stealth test a policy it intends to roll out across the whole government.

Likely not. Do your homework!

Almost nobody has ever heard of the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia, and very few people pay close attention to it or are covered by its policies. Indeed, at of the time of publication of this article, the announcement has been viewed only 16 times.

Nobody reads the Federal Registry except FedGov drones, Spergs and the occasional keyboard commando. Hence my suspicion that this is a keyword search gone wrong.

However, had Biden announced, for example, that the Department of Labor intended to adopt this policy, it would be big news. The Federal Register where announcements like this are made would be flooded with comments that the department would have to address.

That would, of course, delay the policy’s rollout. With the Pretrial Services Agency, Biden likely expected that the policy would land quickly and without a splash. As it is, the notice of a new announcement provides less than 30 days for public comment.

Given the probable number of devout Christians employed at an SJW bureaucracy dedicated to “Justice 4 Joggerz”, the expected size of the database justifies a tiny window for comment.

Biden may not be winning points for transparency, but he’s doing his best to win first place in subjecting Americans with sincerely held religious beliefs to differential treatment.

Take the Department of Defense, for example—which has failed to grant a single religious exemption on behalf of any service members requesting one for the federal vaccine mandate. A group of Navy SEALS was recently successful in its federal lawsuit against the Biden administration on claims that its conscience rights under the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act were violated.

No doubt that the DOD already has compiled a list of military religious objectors. It’s a bureaucracy, this is what they do. I would be astonished if it didn’t keep track of the people requesting special accommodation. Ditto every bureaucracy, public and private, that chose to enforce the vaxx mandate.

But it’s not panic time.

That, at bottom, is what this policy is about.

You’re probably heard “Orwell didn’t write 1984 as an instruction manual!” But what if Evil *is* using it as an instruction manual… and by doing so, achieving more evil than they otherwise would have? Are we sabotaging ourselves by remembering the past? Because nobody is using 1984 as an instruction manual on resisting evil.

Othering Unvaccinated Persons

h ttps://brownstone.org/articles/othering-unvaccinated-persons/

By Jared McBrady, 10 January 2022

In my teaching, I prepare undergraduate students to become high school history teachers. In one course, teacher candidates prepare and deliver mock lessons. Their peers play the role of high school students, and I observe and give feedback following these practice lessons. Whether coincidence or a reflection of the times, this fall a good number of mock lessons covered the rise of totalitarianism. In one excellent lesson, a teacher candidate had his students examine the contexts that gave rise to totalitarianism. He accompanied this lesson with an excerpt from a world history textbook listing characteristics of totalitarianism.

This lesson hit on the true purpose for including totalitarianism in high school curricula. That purpose is not to honor the likes of Hitler, Stalin, or Mussolini. Nor is that purpose to provide the methods of totalitarianism as an instructional manual to follow. Rather, the purpose of teaching on totalitarianism is to deliver a warning: heed well the conditions that yielded totalitarianism, so you can recognize and avoid them. 

A warning to whom, to do what?

One passage from the lesson’s textbook concerned me the most: “Totalitarian leaders often create ‘enemies of the state’ to blame for things that go wrong. Frequently these enemies are members of religious or ethnic groups. Often these groups are easily identified and are subjected to campaigns of terror and violence. They may be forced to live in certain areas or are subjected to rules that apply only to them” (pg. 876).

Creating an enemy of the state requires othering: a process of dehumanizing through marginalizing a group of humans as something different, less than, and other. Such othered groups become an easy target to scapegoat, unfairly bearing the blame for a society’s ills.

History is replete with examples of othering. The Ancient Greeks othered based on language, labeling those who did not speak Greek barbarians. In the United States, chattel slavery and segregation were sustained through othering based on skin color. In Nazi Germany, Hitler othered based on religion, casting Jewish people as enemies of the state.

None of those is an example of ‘othering’. People who don’t share culture/language would naturally see each other as different groups. American segregation was an attempt at NOT ‘othering’… squaring the circle of “Negroes are citizens too” despite radically different racial behavior.

A better example of othering would be old Adolf’s treatment of Poles and Slavs. Those cruelties was done purely for political and wartime convenience. Whereas the Jews strip-mined Germany’s economy in the Weimar years.

Othering frequently plays on people’s stereotypes and fears. In the United States, for example, black men have been othered as “thugs,” playing on fears about violence and criminality.

Also not a good example. Stereotyping is not scapegoating. A good example of othering would be the Russian kulaks who selfishly grew their own food. But perhaps they’re are too white for this historian’s taste.

Now, some politicians are othering the “unvaccinated.” These politicians attempt to scapegoat and marginalize this minority group, despite knowing that vaccinated and unvaccinated persons alike can contract and spread COVID-19. Below, I provide the words of three politicians as examples of othering language. I also encourage you to read their words in context.

In the United States, President Joe Biden’s September 9 press conference announced sweeping vaccine mandates. He expressed that “many of us are frustrated” with unvaccinated persons. He laid blame on them for the continued pandemic; Biden claimed that this “pandemic of the unvaccinated” was “caused by…nearly 80 million Americans who have failed to get the shot.” He faulted “a distinct minority of Americans” for “keeping us from turning the corner.” And he promised “We cannot allow these actions to stand in the way of protecting the large majority of Americans who have done their part and want to get back to life as normal.”

In a September 17 interview on the Quebec talk show La semaine des 4 Julie, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau labeled those opposed to vaccination “misogynists” and “racists.” Then, he exclaimed that Canada needed to make a choice: “Do we tolerate these people?”

In France, President Emmanuel Macron gave an interview with Le Parisien on January 4. In this interview, he categorized the unvaccinated as non-citizens, referred to their “lies and stupidity” as the “worst enemies” of democracy, and proclaimed “I really want to piss [the unvaccinated] off.” Macron argued these unvaccinated persons to be only “a very small minority who are resisting,” and asked a chilling question: “How do we reduce that minority?”

h ttps://ca.investing.com/news/economy/macron-doubles-down-on-plan-to-pissoff-the-unvaccinated-2616235

(Bloomberg) — President Emmanuel Macron on Friday stood by the uncompromising stance and combative language he directed earlier this week at France’s unvaccinated citizens amid record numbers of new Covid-19 cases.

Macron in a Tuesday interview with Le Parisien used salty language — saying he wants to “p— off” people refusing inoculation — to express zero-tolerance for failing to get fully vaccinated. The government, he said, will keep up the pressure on the holdouts as a way to contain skyrocketing case counts.

“You can get upset about ways of talking which may sound colloquial, for which I take full responsibility. But what upsets me is the situation in which we are in,” Macron said at a Friday news conference in Paris. “It was my responsibility to ring the alarm. That’s what I did this week so that things will move faster.”

The president’s verbal broadside, which sparked a political uproar, comes as parliament is pushing ahead with legislation to restrict access to restaurants, museums, concerts and public transportation to the fully vaccinated. The lower house has approved the bill, the Senate will take it up next week and the government expects it to come into force Jan. 15.

THIS is an example of othering. In order to push draconian control measures through the French bureaucracy, and possibly to rig an upcoming April election, he offers a convenient scapegoat of people who, yesterday, were totally normal people. “Relax, you’re only punishing people who deserve to be punished! This is justice, not my… not a despot’s wet dream! And once we succeed in destroying the unvaxxed, once that glorious precedent is set, we can revisit the definition of vaxxed, a definition which I alone shall control and bestow… temporarily… upon the proven loyal.”

End segue

In these communications, Biden, Trudeau, and Macron employed several practices of othering.

• They created a majority in-group, signaled by use of the first person plural (we, us), and a minority othered group, signaled by use of the third person plural (they, them).
• They cast blame for government pandemic policies on that othered group (“keeping us from turning the corner”).
• They used words to signal to the in-group that they should be angry at the othered group (“many of us are frustrated,” “I really want to piss them off”).
• Trudeau and Macron specifically used labels that devalued this othered group: misogynists, racists, enemies, non-citizens.

It’s a little funny to watch this guy struggle to question what he’s been raised to never, ever question. How exactly do you ‘other’ an enemy or non-citizen? They are already ‘other’.

• Most worryingly, Macron and Trudeau questioned whether and how to eliminate this othered group (“Do we tolerate these people?” and “How do we reduce that minority?”).

My hope is that this will all amount to nothing more than ignored political rhetoric – empty bluster these politicians hope will score a few popularity points with their electoral base. My fear is that it will not. Either way, this dangerous othering language must be recognized and condemned.

Notwithstanding his racial ignorance, I give McBrady full credit as a historian for identifying the imminent threat. Most of his colleagues never will.

The West’s leaders are committing war crimes and terrorist acts against their own peoples.

Historians study causality: contexts, conditions, events and their outcomes. We have examined the conditions that yielded chattel slavery, the gulag, the Holocaust, Jim Crow, Rwanda. This is not an attempt to equate current pandemic policies with these past tragedies.

Noooo, not at all! Heh heh. “Don’t make me see this! I’m scared to see this… but… but… I must know!”

Rather, this is a warning call. We have seen these conditions before, and we have seen where they lead. Turn back now – that way leads to darkness.

The Bidenreich ain’t turning back. They want to go where this leads. Normie doesn’t have the option to turn back except armed revolt, the ones who haven’t already lost their wits to fear and isolation. That ain’t happening even in USA where revolt was the official plan. And we who see what’s coming, what good is knowing when there’s no action to take?

There’s a case to be made that we would have been better off burning the history books. Forcing the wicked to relearn the principles of True Evil would have limited their ability to succeed at mind tricks like othering to a single human’s lifetime. People who are unwilling to burn perfumed princes, are generally still willing to burn books, so cultural ignorance would have limited the damage in a way that knowledge has not. Although both methods fail to limit the existence of evil.

Are there principles of True Good to be learned and passed forward? There is Scripture, to be sure, but it hasn’t been updated in 2,000 years. Perhaps humanity cannot be Good long enough for God to bother with additional instructions on human psychology and behavior.

One supposes that we are better at recognizing evil than past generations were. But really, how hard is it to recognize the evil in this case study:

Democratic lawmaker wants unmasked House members relegated to isolation boxes in the gallery

h ttps://www.theblaze.com/news/democratic-lawmaker-wants-unmasked-house-members-relegated-to-isolation-boxes-in-the-gallery

Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) wants to put unmasked House members in a box — literally.

Due to COVID-19 concerns, Clark is asking the sergeant at arms of the House of Representatives, William Walker, to require lawmakers who forego masks to attend the floor from isolation boxes in the gallery.

If she was actually concerned about getting the Moronic variant then she would put herself in an isolation box. Scratch that, she’d skype into the Capitol Building or send a proxy. But no, she is obviously wanting to dehumanize her political opponents who not only defy the Narrative, they still aren’t dead as predicted. How much education does it really take to see this?

Which is actually a good question. Coof-Moronic is objectively known to be a nothingburger yet our overlords have so successfully reformatted Covidian brains that they cannot be convinced by any argument. Some people today will wear their face diapers to the grave in bleak, eye-rolling terror of Covid-Flurona-2045.

Would evildoers have known how to do that had we deleted the memory of Soviet indoctrination methods in the 1980s?

Well… yeah, probably they would have. The Bidenreich was taught directly by the Bolsheviks escaping “Jewish persecution” who were careful to preserve the methods of deceit in their own religious texts for millennia. Also, knowing about Bolsheviks and immigration hazards and other trends in history did nothing to stop the ‘Murican imperialists from betraying everybody and ultimately themselves, too.

So no, there’s little point in erasing history. It’s just a tool like many others we have.

Members already face fines for entering the House floor without wearing a mask. The first offense costs $500, while subsequent instances of noncompliance cost a whopping $2,500.

“Unfortunately, these fines have proven insufficient to prevent some Members from repeatedly violating this commonsense rule,” Clark wrote in the letter to Walker. “In fact, two House members alone have accumulated more than $100,000 in fines over the last year. This callous disregard for House rules endangers the health of Members of Congress and the professional staff whose physical presence is required to ensure continuity of government.”

Salute to Marjorie Taylor Greene & Andrew Clyde of Georgia! Fresh air is always a smart purchase.

It is good to know the truth and better to act upon it. But the Church… the real Church, not the perfumed princes and fancy boxes… doesn’t have a theology on how to thwart massive, institutional evil. It’s a feature of Christianity. Christ warned us that His kingdom isn’t a mortal one.

History is like every other technology that humans invent. We create it and teach it in order to be like God, that great Creator and Author and wellspring of Truth, then the devil shows up using our creations to steal, kill and destroy Creation. There is no moral progress to be made in remembering history any more than there is moral progress in making a firearm. The act and skill of making it are valuable but the end product must still be used with wisdom. Not with knowledge. !Science! is a popular religion because it always tells you how but never if you should.

Speaking of moral progress… it’s an open secret that our governments across the world are teaching the sheeple that we unvaccinated are a deadly threat, and it’s clear that history remembering the previous times this happened is not going to prevent it happening again. History says that the last time this happened, the Kulaks responded by starving to death… thanks, history! You remind me to put my trust in God.
