Truth Be Told

With Elon Musk breaking open the treasure trove of information that has been censored by the big tech companies at the behest of law enforcement and the FIB. Naw, I don’t really consider the FIB law enforcement anymore, do you? I mean seriously. Yes, I understand if you’re meeting your niece’s new boyfriend and she says “he’s in law enforcement” and you ask what he does and he says proudly “I’m a special agent with the FIB, I go through the garbage can at James Woods’ house!” that you can’t laugh out loud. But he’s not really law enforcement. Not like a decent Sheriff.

But let’s take a look at how different life might be if people had been told the truth about a few issues.

First up, the big kerfluffle going on now is #TwitterFiles.

It seems the children at the old Twitter, as opposed to the new and definitely improved Twitter, decided to make in kind campaign donations to the Biden crime family by censoring any story the DNC wanted censored. The FIB interfered in yet another federal election by “pre-bunking” the laptop from hell story as well. So the New York Post, the oldest newspaper in the U.S. and doing actual journalism, as opposed to the NY Slimes which is mostly notable now for a crossword puzzle and being a fine birdcage liner or puppy pads, had done a spectacular piece of journalism on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Not about the hookers, drugs or child sex issues but about the ways our country was going to be left vulnerable to foreign influence due to the activities of the whole Biden junta.

Apparently the government telling big tech what and who to censor since they can’t do it themselves, due to that pesky First Amendment, is a no no. Huh, who knew?

Elon Musk Goes Nuclear: ‘If This Isn’t a Violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, What Is?’

As documents released on Twitter appear to indicate that Twitter became a tool of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election campaign, Elon Musk summed up his disgust with what was revealed.

On Friday, journalist Matt Taibbi shared a communication illustrating how complaints were received.

“One executive would write to another: ‘More to review from the Biden team.’ The reply would come back: ‘Handled,’” he posted on Twitter, leading Musk to reply.

“If this isn’t a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, what is?” Musk wrote.

If this isn’t a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, what is?

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 3, 2022

And yet, the #TwitterFiles that have been release so far, have seemed to lack a certain amount of information. There seemed to be something missing some have said.

Oh, think the problem has been located and resolved.

Ousted Twitter counsel Jim Baker vetted ‘Twitter Files’ without Elon Musk’s knowledge, Matt Taibbi reveals

Matt Taibbi, the journalist who first broke the news of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” revealed that the company’s top lawyer had “vetted” what information was shared without the knowledge of the new boss.

Musk announced on Tuesday that he had terminated Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker “in light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue.”

And when asked by a Twitter user if Baker was able to explain himself, Musk replied “His explanation was …unconvincing.”

Happily Musk canned his sorry butt and had him escorted from the building.

Twitter files reveal familiar name in Hunter Biden laptop scandal: James Baker

As thousands of Twitter documents are released on the company’s infamous censorship program, much has been confirmed about the use of back channels by Biden and Democratic officials to silence critics on the social media platform. However, one familiar name immediately popped out in the first batch of documents released through journalist Matt Taibbi: James Baker. For many, James Baker is fast becoming the Kevin Bacon of the Russian collusion scandals.

Baker has been featured repeatedly in the Russian investigations launched by the Justice Department, including the hoax involving the Russian Alfa Bank. When Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann wanted to plant the bizarre false claim of a secret communications channel between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, Baker was his go-to, speed-dial contact. (Baker would later testify at Sussmann’s trial). Baker’s name also appeared prominently in controversies related to the other Russian-related FBI allegations against Trump. He was effectively forced out due to his role and reportedly found himself under criminal investigation. He became a defender of the Russian investigations despite findings of biased and even criminal conduct. He was also a frequent target of Donald Trump on social media, including Twitter. Baker responded with public criticism of Trump for his “false narratives.”

So, the corrupt James Baker, vetted/censored what Matt Taibbi was to receive in the information he was going to release to try to clean Twitter up from it’s history of partisan censorship. Rich isn’t it? The #TwitterFiles are being released to both Matt Taibbi and Barry Weiss to release to the public. Neither Taibbi or Weiss are exactly conservative or Donald Trump fans, but they are actual journalists. As opposed to say Chris Cuomo, or Don Lemon, or Rachel Maddow, or Brandy Zadrozny whom one of my favorite radio show hosts calls “The blonde bimbo fascist” for her political positions.

But as the sludge of the swamp is being released you can’t help but wonder since the election was decided by about 90,000 votes to have given the pubs a unified government. Would more people than voted for Barry Sotero still have flocked to the polls to vote for a man who had sold the country out to China and Ukraine have still done so? I mean, it does sort of explain why we’re sending millions of taxpayer dollars to a corrupt CIA installed puppet named Zelensky, right? It does explain why almost every decision made by Biden’s teleprompter and the junta benefits China. Would people have voted for that knowingly? We’ll never know because of people like James Baker.

Would people have felt differently if they’d know crusty Joe was lying when he said he had nothing to do with Hunter’s business dealings? Joe Biden’s Involvement in Hunter Biden Dealings Exposed – Joe Met with Hunter Biden’s Business Associate AT LEAST 16 TIMES

A big part of what James Baker censored was the FIB’s role in the big tech censorship that may/did affect the elections.

FBI Coordination With Big Tech Censorship Ahead of 2020 Election Revealed in Agent Deposition, Missouri AG Says since it’s behind a paywall I’ll give you a snippet.

Officials from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security frequently met with major social media companies ahead of the 2020 election and pointed out users and pieces of content for removal, according to information from a deposition of a senior FBI agent revealed by a state attorney general.

“We found that the FBI plays a big role in working with social media companies to censor speech—from weekly meetings with social media companies ahead of the 2020 election to asks for account takedowns,” Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said in a series of tweets on Dec. 2, three days after deposing Special Agent Elvis Chan, who’s in charge of cyber affairs at the FBI San Francisco Field Office.

Chan has given major social media companies warnings that have led them to censor information about a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, shortly before the election that put Biden in office, according to a lawsuit against the Biden administration led by Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry.

Not content to merely influence American elections, Twitter expanded it’s horizons.

Elon Musk: It Is Likely Twitter Interfered in 2022 Brazilian Election

Elon Musk continues to drop bomb after bomb on the leftist company’s interference in Democratic elections.

On Saturday Elon Musk admitted Twitter likely interfered in the Brazilian presidential elections in favor of convicted felon and Socialist Lula de Silva.

This is BIG, BIG News!

I’ve seen a lot of concerning tweets about the recent Brazil election. If those tweets are accurate, it’s possible that Twitter personnel gave preference to left wing candidates.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 3, 2022

The difference is, in Brazil they know the machines rigged the elections and are still out in the streets and I believe the military is going to override the corrupt, left-wing supreme court that let a man out of jail and cleared his crime so he could run for office. In the Brazilian constitution there is a part that allows the military to do that. The people are probably watching America circle the drain in less than two years of a corrupt stolen election and saying “Oh HELL NO” to that option. Thus, they are still protesting by the millions. Not that the corrupt mainstream media aka #FakeNews is covering it.

What other elections did Twitter interfere in? How’s about Arizona? Yep, Katie Hobbs who campaigned with all the vigor of the ancient Joe Biden from her basement had access to special Twitter friends to take down tweets at her request. Almost like she knew she didn’t need to campaign isn’t it? Eh wot?

PROOF: Crooked Secretary of State Katie Hobbs Had Twitter Silence Her Critics in Arizona – Prior to Gubernatorial Run – Data From MO vs. Biden

Now we know why crooked Katie Hobbs didn’t want to debate Kari Lake?

Why would she when she ran the election, oversaw 30% of election day precinct machines breaking down, had the media in her pocket, and was working with social media platforms to silence her critics!

This is likely criminal activity – especially if she silenced her critics during her gubernatorial run which is likely!

And soon we will hear about how over 70,000 fraudulent ballots were sent out before election day!

What else did Twitter censor? How about documented cases of armed self-defense? The Zelman Partisans and Bear and I both got locked out of Twitter when things supportive of Kyle Rittenhouse were posted on Twitter. Ah, effin’ Twitter and Amnesty? Eff You, Musk.

Apparently young Kyle is curious about such things. Kyle Rittenhouse goes viral after asking if Twitter files will reveal ‘hidden censoring’ against him I believe I’ll enlighten him to the extent I know.

Anything else “life and death” that Twitter suppressed? OH YEA! How many poor souls are on their way to a life of pain, or a shorter life, or a lost life, or a destroyed life because they were denied information about the “safe and effective vaccine” that is neither safe, effective or a vaccine?

Found Dead at Home After COVID-19 Vaccination

The public is becoming increasingly disturbed with reports of death among the vaccinated. It is natural to ask “was the death caused by vaccination?” The most definitive way of answering that question is with autopsy.

Schwab et al reported on deaths after vaccination with detailed autopsies in Heidelberg, Germany.[i] Of 35 fatalities within 20 days of injection, 10 were ruled out as clearly not due to the vaccine (eg drug overdose). The remaining 25 (71%) had final diagnoses consistent with a vaccine injury syndrome including myocardial infarction, worsening heart failure, vascular aneurysm, pulmonary embolism, fatal stroke, and vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia. Interestingly, 5 cases had acute myocarditis as the cause of death with the histopathology in the heart muscle showing patchy inflammation very similar to what was seen in the deltoid muscle were the mRNA vaccine was injected.

Suppressing Repurposed Drugs ‘Cost Millions of Lives’: Founder of COVID Treatment Fund

The executive director of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, Steve Kirsch, has been working to make early COVID drug treatments available to the public, despite being assailed by the medical establishment for speaking out about the dangers of the COVID vaccines.

During the pandemic, he founded the COVID-19 Treatment Fund to raise money to test repurposed drugs for use in treating COVID, while health agencies were dismissing their effectiveness and urging the public to get vaccinated as the only way to prevent severe illness and hospitalization.

Not allowing the testing and use of repurposed drugs has cost too many lives said, Kirsch.

“This has cost millions of lives,” and the problem was compounded by a hospital COVID treatment protocol “that was almost certain to kill you,” Kirsch said during a recent interview on EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program.

He said the COVID protocols hospitals have followed, although sanctioned by the federal health agencies, added to the death toll.

Twitter’s First Transparency Reports Are Here and They’re Eye-Opening

Twitter has published its first set of transparency reports about how the site had operated prior to multi-billionaire Elon Musk taking over the company. Among the reports, the social media giant states they are no longer enforcing its COVID-19 “misleading information policy.”

Musk had promised the release of the transparency reports, saying it is necessary to regain the trust of the public.

The Twitter Files on free speech suppression soon to be published on Twitter itself. The public deserves to know what really happened …

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 28, 2022

Since January 2020, over 11 million accounts were challenged for violating the COVID-19 information policy, 11,230 accounts were suspended, and 97,674 pieces of content were removed

Twitter Stops Enforcing COVID-19 ‘Misleading Information’ Policy

Twitter has stopped enforcing its COVID-19 “misleading information” policy that had resulted in nearly 100,000 pieces of content being cut from the platform and led to more than 11,000 account suspensions.

The social media giant, which was taken over by industrialist Elon Musk at the end of October, said in a report that, effective Nov. 23, Twitter is “no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy.”

The report included information about Twitter’s enforcement actions related to its COVID-19 content policies. Between January 2020 and September 2022, there were 11.72 million accounts challenged, 11,230 accounts were suspended, and 97,674 pieces of content removed.

The policy, which was introduced to curb the spread of “harmful misinformation” related to COVID-19, was praised by some, including U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, who in an advisory (pdf) on “building a healthy information environment” cited Twitter’s rules as a model for companies to fight misinformation.

But heavy-handed enforcement of the policy garnered criticism, such as when earlier this year Twitter flagged numerous tweets with factual information about COVID-19 as misinformation and suspended accounts of scientists and doctors.

Probably good that people took lots of screen shots, perhaps they knew the time would come when the government lies would need to be documented. Even as some of the tyrants are calling for amnesty, those who also committed wrong doing are trying to re-write their shameful history.

FDA Trying to Rewrite COVID History on Prohibiting Ivermectin, Dr. Atlas Says

Boyden Gray & Associates filed a lawsuit in June on behalf of three doctors who allege that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) illegally interfered with their doctor–patient relationships, resulting in harm. They also claim that the FDA broke the law when the agency issued statements prohibiting the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19.

In response to the lawsuit, lawyers for the FDA claimed that its guidance for people to “stop” taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation; as such, they weren’t mandating against it.

However, in an interview that aired on NTD’s “Newsmakers” on Nov. 23, Dr. Scott Atlas, a senior fellow in health care policy at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, confirmed that the FDA did, indeed, take an “unprecedented” approach against ivermectin and said that their defense amounts to the FDA trying to rewrite COVID-19 history.

Know what that reminds me of?

The clip is a tad longer than what I started it at. About 3 ½ minutes total, I’m starting it part way in.

No forgetting, we see you for what you are and aren’t.

There is a whole host of damaging and fatal side effects, and the information has been censored on Twitter, FakeBook and YouTube. The following are short videos from Rumble.

And I would guess all this information, and all these people have been censored from Twitter, YouTube and FakeBook.

But you know who is very curious about all this censorship? Missouri and Louisiana’s Attorney Generals. They’ve had the demented troll aka Fauxci on the stand for over seven hours. Well over 174 times the greedy, power hungry demented troll stated “He couldn’t remember”. Lots of things he couldn’t remember.

When asked to provide a mask study that justifies the chronic hypercarbia he has inflicted on U.S. he can’t. There are many stating the risk and harm, but the demon that inflicted this on U.S. can’t name a one that says they work or are indicated. We also found out the lockdowns came from one man, Clifford Lane. A deputy Fauxci sent to China to see how his buddies were handling WuFlu. Lane came back with a report given to him by China saying the lock downs work. In awe of the power and control over the people, Fauxci couldn’t wait to implement them here. No studies, no nothing. Just taking the word of a Chinese dictator. If you want to read the whole transcript. Here ya go. https://ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/press-releases/135885afauci112322_full_redacted.pdf?sfvrsn=35f4a425_2

Guess some of that information censored on the Hunter Biden laptop from hell would explain why the U.S. squashed the peace agreement Russia and Ukraine had worked out, huh? Ukraine is too good a money laundering operation for the demoncrats and corrupt republicans. Not to mention, they’ve paid the Biden crime family a LOT of money to look after their interests. Lloyd Austin (is he still on the board of Raytheon?) said the quiet part out loud, they want to use Ukraine to weaken Russia. The country who isn’t attacking churches like Zelensky is. Because you know, democracy always involves attacking religious institutions, right?

We Are Using Ukraine To Do WHAT?!

But if you think the government is only using private business to attack the First Amendment, you would be wrong.

FedEx and UPS Help Feds Track Gun Sales, State Attorneys General Say

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, together with 17 other state attorneys general, are asking shipping companies UPS and FedEx to explain their newly implemented policies to track and record Americans’ firearms purchases and disclose whether these policies have been coordinated with the Biden administration.

In letters sent on Nov. 29 to FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam and UPS CEO Carol B. Tomé, Knudsen and his co-signers wrote that the shipping companies’ policies “allow your company to track firearm sales with unprecedented specificity and bypass warrant requirements to share that information with federal agencies.”

“What both of these companies are saying is that they’re doing this so they can better cooperate with law enforcement,” Knudsen told The Epoch Times. “That’s all fine and well, until you find out that that’s a violation of federal law.”

I am convinced one of the most important positions in government has become these state Attorney Generals.

Is Elon Musk a good guy or a bad guy? I dunno. But he understand freedom of information and speech are essential to the survival of his adopted homeland. Something I wish more people understood. I’m pretty sure I can think of more than a few people that still think the jab is a great idea and are looking forward to their every other month booster jab. Never mind each one weakens the natural immune system. If Rachel Maddow, Joy Behar or, well, who’s left on CNN? Anderson Cooper? If one of them didn’t tell them, then it’s not true. They’d bet their life on it.

I think Elon is on the right track here. The White House spokes-clown just called the #TwitterFiles a distraction, the televised DNC propaganda crew called news casters are all ignoring it like it’s not happening and the DNC propaganda crew called talk show hosts are all busy trying to explain why it’s a bad thing people are getting honest information and corruption is being exposed. Yep, to the left, that’s a bad thing. So, if all those people have their panties in a twist, this is a very good thing indeed. Prayers for Elon’s safety.

The Arizona Train wreck

No, I don’t mean there was a train wreck in Arizona, I mean Arizona is a train wreck. Nevada too for that matter.

There is so much that is wrong with the charade. It’s basically the same charade of an election we had in 2020, but since the GOP establishment did nothing about it, and everyone wanted to “move on” and the phrase “election denier” became the hot new thing along with Ukraine we are living through it again. And our friends in Arizona will pay the highest price. But I actually do have some suggestions coming. But first, lets have a look at the illegal corrupt actions.

First an incompetent Secretary of State who is also a candidate for Governor and refused to recuse herself/itself/whatever, despite bi-partisan call to do so.

Trusting Hobbs

Second, only a couple of times have I seen the unlikely campaign strategy of hide in your basement and refuse to debate employed successfully. Hobbs is one of them, Beijing Biden being the other. Kari Lake had I believe over double the social media followers as the corrupt Hobbs, and far more enthusiasm for her campaign.

Now lets look at Hobbs incompetence. Much of this comes from citizens and independent media.

Expert, Dan Sundin, has honed in on the likely cause of why 30% of the tabulators in Arizona could not process the majority of Republican ballots on Election Day.

During the 2022 General Election, the election programming was set up to process 20″ long ballots. This was a change from the 2020 General and the 2022 Primary ballots, which were 19″ long – an inch shorter.

So when Arizona election officials say they don’t know what happened on November 8th because everything was the same as Arizona’s primary – this isn’t true.

The ballot size wasn’t the same.

Why does that matter?

The sample ballot pdf’s published by Maricopa County and the Runbeck-printed ballots used for mail-in voting were correctly made to to 20″ length in the 2022 General. So there have been no problems processing Democrat-leaning, mail-in ballots.

However, the ballot on demand printers used for in-person voting only have 19″ trays that contain 19″ ballot paper.

This means, that for in-person voting, the official ballot image had to be compressed to fit on smaller paper than it was built for.

Compression causes the ink to be a little lighter than it should be, and thus affects how the tabulators read the ballot.

Maricopa County directed some voting centers to increase how dark the printing was, and this helped the problem somewhat.

The bigger problem, however, is that compressing the image skews where the ovals end up on the paper. The tabulators use a digital map to know where to look for votes. If the ovals aren’t where they belong, the tabulator won’t be able to find them, or will misread them. This problem will cause the tabulators to improperly read ovals, or not be able to read the ballot at all.

This is what most likely caused the high rejection rate and why so many ballots ended up having to be set aside in Drawer 3 – which led to another set of problems, and a lot of delay.

We all know delay favors fraud.

The equipment tabulating ballots at the MCTEC center is different than the Dominion ICP tabulators used for in-person, Election Day voting. Those scanners are more forgiving for shrunk/skewed ballots and are able to be manually adjudicated by election workers. That’s likely why we’re not seeing the same problems in the processing of ballots which were cast early in-person.

It’s clear that whatever logic and accuracy testing was done in Arizona to get ready for Election Day wasn’t a real world test.

The logic and accuracy test used pristine, pre-printed ballots that were professionally printed offsite and fed into the Dominion ICP tabulators to make sure they were working.

A real logic and accuracy test, however, would have used ballots printed on-site by the ballot-on-demand printers. That would have been a genuine end-to-end test, and it would have caught what ended up being a massive problem.

Since Republicans are more likely to vote in person on Election Day, they were disproportionately affected and disenfranchised by the incompetence of the election officials. Failing to correctly test the system to understand the effect of changing the ballot size was a fatal error. This amounted to a massive violation of voters’ constitutional rights, which requires equal protection under the law.

This issue didn’t affect the Democrat-leaning mail-in ballots. The Democrat-leaning, early in-person ballots are processed at the MCTEC Center on equipment more able to process the skewed images and manually adjudicate problem ballots.

We don’t know if all this was intentional or not. But the poorly-designed process and failure to properly test equipment under real world conditions have led to yet another third-world election in Arizona.

It’s worth noting that hand counting would not be affected in the slightest by a skewed ballot. Get rid of the machines.

In the long term, everyone in leadership associated with the travesty and betrayal of the citizens has got to go. The is a battle to see if the pub party can be salvaged. I’m not optimistic. Leadership never addressed and hid from the steal of 2020. They either didn’t like President Trump, or was afraid when the swamp got drained they would go down as well. As they should, what they did was deny the will of “We The People” and decide our vote didn’t matter. But the illusion of voting matters is gone. People knew the Dims would cheat, that’s how they roll, the goal was to overwhelm with our votes to make it impossible (or almost) to do so. Charade over.

Kevin McCarthy has done nothing to help our candidates, nothing. The Murder Turtle not only didn’t help our candidates, he donated money and worked against them, such as Lisa Murkowski. And Mitt’s daughter Ronna? Who on earth thought letting a Romney be in charge of the RNC was a good idea?

If you aren’t aware, and are curious of the myriad of ways Ronna is a worse choice than a head of lettuce, it’s worth a few minute read for the list.

So this is the next step, first ballots, then a complete purge of the failed and feckless pub “leadership” and I think I threw up a little when I had to type “Leadership”.

An interesting, but totally unrelated story. While Israel had their election with paper ballots, hand counted, the conservative pro-Israel, pro-Israeli citizen side won, Brazil like America used the Demoncrat cheat machines. And the wildly popular President went down to convicted criminal Lula. Huh. Apparently there were SO many voter irregularities that the good citizens of Brazil question the results of the election. Go figure. However, it seems they aren’t falling in line and behaving.

Side note, when Demoncrats and the media say “Democracy is on the ballot. Democracy is going to die if Republicans are elected” has anyone asked them what their idea of “Democracy” is? It’s basically mob rule and tyranny, so. But back to the judge expla….oh wait, he’s gone. He’s not in Brazil now.

The demented troll
The CDC, FDA, HHS, etc.

Information, information has become like gold if it’s honest. And if it’s coming from a government source, almost any government source, except perhaps someone like Kari Lake or Eric Schmitt who are both candidates, or Ron DeSantis or Dr. Joseph Lapado could perhaps be giving honest info. Beyond that, I’d look to doctors who have openly been trying to save lives like Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Ryan Cole, Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Christina Parks, the late Dr. Zev Zelenko has a foundation that is active, Dr. Simon Goddek, Dr. Henry Ealy, Dr. Simone Gold (who went to jail for speaking out) Dr. Peter McCullough is now being stripped of some of his certifications. Medicine is a captured agency, just like the federal law enforcement agencies. No word on the Texas Rangers yet.

Without solid information, how are people suppose to make wise decisions? For example, did anyone notice around the time the Ukraine boondoggle started, RT and other Russian sources of news were blacked out, except for some places like Rumble or GAB? And recently Macaroon of France informed Rumble they needed to block RT news or they were in big trouble with France! Rumble said fine, France is now cut off from Rumble. This is very important because YouTube is censoring more aggressively than ever.

There are two foreign countries right now that the Biden crime junta is interfering in their sovereignty, or trying to. But I’m not sure the Biden teleprompter programmers are going to outwit Vlad, and hopefully not the people of Brazil. Perhaps it’s worth mentioning, Israel also held elections, but in Israel the conservative side won. Unlike Brazil, Israel uses paper ballots and hand counts them, unlike Brazil. They like America, use the fraud machines. They also vote in one day, like France, for example.

For some reason, there are forces really really determined to keep Russian news from reaching regular people in the west, but lies? Oh we have those aplenty.

MASSIVE ANTI-RUSSIAN ‘BOT ARMY’ EXPOSED BY AUSTRALIAN RESEARCHERS

A team of researchers at the University of Adelaide have found that as many as 80 percent of tweets about the 2022 Russia-Ukraine invasion in its early weeks were part of a covert propaganda campaign originating from automated fake ‘bot’ accounts.

An anti-Russia propaganda campaign originating from a ‘bot army’ of fake automated Twitter accounts flooded the internet at the start of the war. The research shows of the more than 5-million tweets studied, 90.2 percent of all tweets (both bot and non-bot) came from accounts that were pro-Ukraine, with fewer than 7 percent of the accounts being classed as pro-Russian.

The university researchers also found these automated tweets had been purposely used to drive up fear amongst people targeted by them, boosting a high level of statistically measurable ‘angst’ in the online discourse.

Then take the elections in Brazil. Jair Bolsonaro is all that stood between China’s control of South America. The rest of South America has already fallen. I haven’t figured out why, but the people running Bejing Biden’s teleprompter decided to interfere in the Brazilian elections, a few months ago. Apparently the CIA, taxpayer funded, decided to go to Brazil, eat some ice cream and threaten the wildly popular President Bolsonaro that he must accept the election results without question. Two months ago. Reminds me of when the Demoncrats installed Morsi in Egypt, Zelensky in Ukraine and now they’re trying to install DeSilva in Brazil. In none of those countries did the CIA installed puppet do good things for the people. Biden Issues Fatwa Justifying The Crushing Of His Political Opposition – What Comes Next?

You know who doesn’t believe the election result? Brazilians.

DHS Censorship Lead Believes Big Tech Has ‘Moral Obligation’ To Suppress Populism, Advised Group Working With DNC To Censor Conservatives.

Yes, and besides censoring us, they spy on us.

So, besides censoring with the help of big tech, the selection in Brazil, not to be confused with an actual election, what information has been withheld from people? The life altering kind. A short run down, of many aspects of what Fauxci, Walensky, the FDA, CDC and HHS have hidden or lied about as their willing shills the talking heads parroted it.

Remdesiver is killing people. The failed Ebola drug that had to be removed from the study because it was killing too many people. Manufactured by Gilead Sciences, for whom Fauxci gives speeches. He probably does that for free though, right? Nurses will lie about this one too, like the one that insisted on trying to lie to me and tell me it is safe when I expressly told the hospital not to use it on my Mom and they did anyway.

Do you think if they’d known, if they’d really known the risks, would they have taken the experimental gene therapy shot re-labeled as a vaccine to get around the testing requirements?

Would they have chosen to force if on their elderly relatives (unless they were looking for an inheritance) knowing it lowers their immune responses?

And this is by no means an exhaustive list.

I have nothing but sympathy for those that were forced into the experimental injections against their will. What a horrible choice, and I would hope they have a nice lawsuit coming. To be forced into a medical experiment with the coercion of loss of your job when you have a family to feed is not informed consent. Nor is being forced into it to go to family dinners, but probably few will sue family, and you don’t really have to go, not like you have to work to pay bills. My humble thoughts are, if they are going to treat you like that, do you really want to be around them? But I’m probably not a good person to ask.

Shilling for vaccine? But for people like this? The ones that lied, the ones that vax shamed, the ones that threatened and coerced? The doctors and nurses that have totally abandoned their Hippocratic oath, mistaking it for a hypocrite oath? Yeah… no. For you I have another answer, we shall get to it in just a moment.

Covid has been the most effective tool in bringing about the “Great Reset” as advertised on all major news media outlets as a wonderful thing, they just don’t tell you that’s why they’re pushing you to eat bugs now and shame farmers for using fertilizer, and regulate us into famine. People willingly torture their own children, swim in the fresh air and sunshine wearing a mask and react with anything from nervousness to hysteria when they see someone without a mask. Still. Families are torn apart, work relationships strained, I’ve heard nurses I work with say they don’t think the un-injected are entitled to medical care. I despise them and will never think of them in the same way. The massive amount of othering and ostracizing of people is far to reminiscent of pre-WWII Germany. It must have been lurking below the surface, but this brought it out. The flat out lies, Cuomo using a picture of a wedding in 2014 to single out the Jewish community for having a wedding should have been a big red flag as he lectured and threatened. The businesses ruined, the livelihoods lost, all of this putting increased pressure on the dwindling middle class. The censorship encouraged by the Demoncrats and willingly carried out by almost every social media platform, Twitter, Fakebook, YouTube, Google arranging their search algorithm to bury information they didn’t want you to find, and about anything else big, as well as almost every mainstream media source, all guilty. All guilty and have blood on their hands because they deprived people of information they needed to make a reasoned choice. And this is viewed as acceptable now by the left, they call it “stopping disinformation” You serf, are not to be allowed information, because information is power and we have it and you don’t and won’t.

There is an election on Tuesday. Never forget that the worst offenders of this atrocity and mass murder scheme have been Demoncrats and their financial enablers. Even politicians that you thought were “moderate” demoncrats aren’t. Manchin tore the mask off that one. He made a deal with the Biden crime junta and signed onto the new green deal selling out his constituents. And where did that get him? Screwed, probably didn’t even buy him dinner first. But, it’s too late Manchin and I hope you’re gone next round of elections.

Manchin Unleashes on Biden Over ‘Disgusting’ Pledge to End Coal

Manchin Demands Public Apology From Biden Over ‘Outrageous’ Coal Comments

Demand and unleash all you want Manchin, too late now, you sold out America and the Biden Crime junta doesn’t respect you in the morning and truth be told, they didn’t respect you before they did it.

So when voting, in my usually humble opinion, don’t vote for ANYthing, ANYthing with a D after it’s name. Of course there are bad Republicans, absolutely nutless wonders! Look at the corrupt Mitch McConnell and whussy Kevin McCarthy. Then there are Mitt Romney, Lisa Mukowski, Susan Collins, Lindsay Graham, and at least Roy Blunt is going to be gone. Guess he’s got a sweet lobbying gig lined up now probably. But here’s the thing, like with Manchin, if they are a demoncrat, they have to tow the party line. And that can put all kinds of pressure on them. There is nothing, nothing good in the Demoncrats plans for America. They think they have us, U.S. finished off, and maybe they do, it’s all in G-d’s hands. But even when G-d fought battles for us, we were at least required to show up and march and blow horns, or scale walls with one sword and our armor bearer. We had to suit up and show up and do our part. If you have to vote for a crappy less than stellar Republican, their party can put pressure on them too. And what a fabulous party it will be with some more MTGs, Lauren Boberts, Matt Gaetz, Josh Hawley and the hopefully incoming Eric Schmitt, Herschel Walker and others. They have grit, guts and determination and best of all they love this country. With governors like Kari Lake, Ron DeSantis, Tudor Dixon, Doug Mastriano, and Lee Zeldin we could see our country survive. But that too is in G-d’s hands. Think of the pressure they would put on a Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins or Roy Blunt, I bet Old corrupt Mitch would be out of leadership as he should be.

My prayer is that people continue to wake up, and see what is happening.

To answer the question, can we just forget and let bygones be bygones?

Then and Now

A girl friend and I were talking the other day. Her Mom was medically mismanaged as well, resulting in her death. She and her brother had debated on if a lawsuit should be brought or not. I said there has to be retribution of some kind. If there is no retribution they have gotten away with it and most certainly are going to do it again. And there are plenty of signs they are already planning to do so. So, my promised solutions to the modern day Dr. Josef Mengeles out there. There have been solutions proposed.

A radio show I really enjoy is Temple Talk out of Israel. In last weeks Parsha, Noach, at the end of the podcast Yitzhak Ruven was talking about how Noach didn’t really try to warn the people so much of the impending doom. He just kept building his ark. But then Yitzhak said, maybe he did, maybe he did try and people just blew him off with “You’re crazy old man, you don’t know what you’re talking about”. Probably thought Noach was some kind of conspiracy nut. And all of a sudden I had a great sympathy and understanding of Noach for all the people that had tried to warn there was something off about the shot.

Kristallnacht is November 9-10. Ignoring signs is so very dangerous. Imagine, people trapped in their home, their businesses boycotted and failing, not allowed to go get food, hungry families, stuffed into Covid quarantine camps ghettos. There must be a reckoning.

Turning BRUEN On Its Head

The Firearms Policy Coalition and the Second Amendment Foundation are suing Washington over its “high capacity” (10+ rounds) magazine ban. That’s old news in itself. What is new is that the Aliiance for Gun Responsibility joined the case as “intervenor-defendant.”

Yes, someone petitioned the court to be sued. Odd, but not unprecedented. More often if someone thinks they have valid points to bring to the court’s attention they would file an amicus brief. But actually being a party to the case gives them more leeway to file motions and responses and potentially call more witnesses.

But I couldn’t help wondering exactly what the AGR, the primary backers of the ban, expected to bring before the court that the existing governmental defendants couldn’t or wouldn’t.

The Alliance specifically denies Paragraph 38’s assertion that LCM regulations are “recent phenomena.”
[…]
The Alliance specifically denies Paragraph 39’s assertion or suggestion that LCMs have been common in America (or anywhere else in the world) for hundreds of years.

Wait. What? Large capacity magazines aren’t recent but have been around for quite a while, but they haven’t been around for quite a while? They regulated something that hadn’t been around?

The Alliance admits that, to the extent weapons capable of firing more than ten rounds existed before the 20th century, they were experimental, unusual, impractical, unreliable, prohibitively expensive, or otherwise not analogous to modern firearms equipped with LCMs—and thus unlikely to necessitate government regulation. The Alliance admits that the only known example in existence of the Wheellock rifle was made in Germany around 1580 and was capable of firing 16 shots.

Basically, we are looking at a –admittedly confused — variation of the old “the founders never envisioned anything but single-shot muskets” argument. Buy with a weird twist to account for the ruling in BRUEN.

The Alliance admits that, to the extent weapons capable of firing more than ten rounds existed before the 20th century, they were experimental, unusual, impractical, unreliable, prohibitively expensive, or otherwise not analogous to modern firearms equipped with LCMs— and thus unlikely to necessitate government regulation.

BRUEN requires that gun control laws and regulations have a basis in general, historical tradition.

The test that the Court set forth in Heller and applies today requires courts to assess whether modern firearms regulations are consistent with the Second Amendment’s text and historical understanding. Of course, the regulatory challenges posed by firearms today are not always the same as those that preoccupied the Founders in 1791 or the Reconstruction generation in 1868. But the Constitution can, and must, apply to circumstances beyond those the Founders specifically anticipated, even though its meaning is fixed according to the understandings of those who ratified it.

AGR is arguing that specific firearms — innovations — have a basis in such tradition, or they can by default be regulated. AGR’s attorney, Kai Smith, just got BRUEN completely ass-backwards.

Never mind that SCOTUS disposed of that very argument in BRUEN. Or, for that matter, in the earlier Caetano v. Massachusetts (2016)…

the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding”

AGR would have us — and specifically the court — believe that the only reason that the government didn’t “envision” magazine limits was that they didn’t envision “high capacity” magazines. And of course if they’d anticipated that, they would have preemptively banned such Progress of Science and useful Arts”.

Instead of promoting innovation.

Pro-tip, AGR: Just because Madison didn’t invent “high capacity” magazine-fed semi-automatic firearms does not mean he didn’t anticipate such a possibility.

James Madison, known for his role in drafting the Bill of Rights (including that pesky 2A) lived through the rise of repeating firearms, breechloaders, paper cartridges, percussion caps, metallic cartridges, pinfire cartridges, centerfire cartridges, revolvers, and mass production of firearms.
[…]
Yet never once did Madison stop and say, “Whoa, guys! We didn’t have any of this new shit in mind. The Second Amendment is just for muskets.”

It’s almost as if they foresaw “Progress of Science and useful Arts” — including arms. And communications systems. You might even get the impression they sought to “promote” such advancements by “securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.”

This — aside from the lack of a law degree — is why I’ll never be a federal judge. I’d have sanctioned attorney Kai Smith for that frivolous, self-contradictory filing that completely reverses the meaning of two separate Supreme Court rulings.

Defending the Constitution by Endorsing its Enemies?

How can one defend Constitutional integrity by endorsing the view of its enemies? How can one defend its meaning if ignorant of that meaning? The former is akin to an attorney telling the jury every word uttered by prosecutors with respect to his client’s guilt is true, but, find him not guilty anyway. The latter would be like a football team taking the field having spent zero time studying and learning their plays. Both are doomed to failure.

Chris Stigall is a conservative radio talk show host out in Kansas City, Missouri. The Pacific Legal Foundation, headquartered in Sacramento, California, is a conservative nonprofit defending American’s individual and property rights in Court against abuse by the federal government. I was able to pick up the Stigall Show on Monday 3 October 2022. He was interviewing an attorney for Pacific Legal about a pending case. During the discussion, she said, and Stigall agreed, under the Commerce Clause, the federal government has the authority to regulate anything that crosses state lines. Both are profoundly wrong. Prior to penning this refutation, I attempted to contact Stigall through several channels including his station manager, without success. That conservatives are ignorant of the Constitution to the point of endorsing interpretations counter to its meaning, is testament to public education’s success in teaching an imposter. The talk show host and attorney’s error possibly stem from a misapprehension with respect to America’s form of government, nature of delegated powers, state’s reserved powers, and meaning of the Commerce Clause.

America has a federal not national form of government. Although these terms are used interchangeably by teachers, they are, in fact, not at all the same. Under a national system, all power is consolidated in a central government and states comprise its regional subdivisions and have little or no autonomy. The central government makes all laws and applies them to states irrespective of local interests.1 America has a federal system in which States created the general government and delegated to it finite powers. Its authority is limited to international relations, foreign trade, war, copyrights, and standardization of currency, weights and measures, and a postal system. States are not political subdivisions of the general government but retain independent authority within their boundaries.2 They also have the right to take back powers they delegated to the federal government.3 States reserved all powers to themselves over domestic affairs. Federal and state power operate in separate autonomous spheres. Like trains, they run on parallel but separate tracks that do not intersect.4 States enumerated the federal government’s 18 powers in Article 1, Section 8. Any power not delegated is a power denied to the federal government. State’s exclusive authority over non-delegated powers is codified in the Tenth Amendment.5

The federal government may exercise only its enumerated powers and may not create implied from explicit ones. It may acquire new or expanded powers only through the amendment process. Only states may amend the Constitution. It cannot be amended by any branch of the federal government through interpretation. It may not make national laws as those operate on and within states which would violate the 10th Amendment. How does this relate to the Commerce Clause?

The Clause reads;

“The Congress shall have Power: To regulate commerce with foreign Nations,

and among the several States, with the Indian Tribes” [capitalization in the

original].6

Through the Declaration of Independence (1776), Articles of Confederation (1781), and Treaty of Paris (1783), Britain’s 13 former North American colonies declared they were independent sovereign states (nations) and recognized as such by Great Britain and the world. Each possessed an autonomous government and constitution. To raise revenue and protect native industry and agriculture, states erected tariffs and tolls on goods crossing their borders, by land, sea, and river, from other states. They also disputed the boundaries of western lands won through the war.7 In addition, they made separate trade treaties with foreign powers without regard to whether or not it harmed the interests of other states.

For example, under its colonial charter, Maryland controlled the Potomac River right to Virginia’s shoreline. Both used this river to ship upstate and western goods to the coast. To gain access to the river, Virginia successfully negotiated a trade treaty with Maryland. James Madison and others believed similar arrangements might be expanded to include the other eleven states. This might unify them and lead to settlement of western land claims. They called for a Convention to meet in Annapolis, 1785. Some states sent delegates, some arrived too late, and others boycotted. Congress called for a second convention to meet in Philadelphia.8 They met from May through September, 1787, debating and working out a constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation. They faced many challenges. Chief among them were trade disputes.

If states created a trade system benefitting all and disadvantaging none, it would diffuse interstate conflicts and bolster their economic strength vis a vis Britain and Europe. A clause eliminating interstate barriers to trade and commerce was the solution. In time, this policy would transform the United States into the “largest area of free trade in the world”. The Commerce Clause would put an end to “mercantilistic systems” of trade.9

John Taylor, perhaps the most towering intellect of the Founding period, noted the power to regulate commerce states delegated to the federal government served two purposes, “to prevent foreign nations from obtaining unjust advantages over the United States” and “to prevent one state from making another tributary to itself”.10 However, and this is crucial, the Commerce Clause delegates to Congress power to regulate trade between the U.S. and three forms of “sovereign entities; the States, foreign nations, and the Indian Tribes”.11 This refers to trade arrangements. It does not grant Congress power over commercial activities in or between states.12 The Commerce Clause’s purpose is to create one voice with respect to foreign trade and to facilitate free trade between states. How is the latter accomplished? By eliminating interstate tariffs and tolls not to erect rules governing commercial activity within and or crossing state lines.

In Federalist 42, James Madison explained the Commerce Clause only delegated to the federal government authority over international trade but not over the commercial activities within states or crossing their borders.13 Under this clause, the federal government makes trade treaties with foreign nations. To argue it empowers a federal government to make national laws governing commercial activities within states is nonsensical. States created the federal government. Did they assign it the function of making trade treaties between it and individual states? Of course not, because states are not foreign nations and commercial activities fall under state’s reserved powers. For example, the federal government may make trade treaties with Indian tribes but it has no authority to make rules governing the manufacture and sale of goods by Indians or sold to non-Indians. It is crucial to keep in mind that commercial activities and trade are not the same.14

The federal government has no authority to make rules governing the manufacture and sale of goods, working conditions, wages, or rules for transportation by air, boat, train or truck, private or public, inter or intrastate. These are functions of state governments.15

Madison noted delegates to the federal convention used the term commerce 34 times during debate and discussion typically in reference to trade with foreign nations. They used the terms commerce and trade interchangeably. This was true for the 63 times authors of the Federalist Papers [Hamilton, Madison, and Jay] used the terms. No delegate to the federal and subsequent state ratifying conventions, used these terms to mean other than trade.16

In Federalist 45, Madison wrote;

“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government

are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are

numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external

objects as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the

power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to

the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of

affairs concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal

order, improvement and prosperity of the State”.17

What about the word “regulate”? Does it not mean the federal government has authority to control commercial activity? Does not control necessarily imply authority to make rules governing such activities in states, especially if it crosses state lines?

Fortunately, we have a treasure trove of documents from the framers. They demonstrate the common usage of the word “regulate” with respect to the Commerce Clause did not mean authority to make rules governing commercial activity. On the contrary, it means “to keep moving” to make regular. The Clause’s purpose is to keep trade moving by, as noted, eliminating interstate tariffs and tolls. The federal government’s power is reactive. It may remove barriers to interstate trade but may make no rules governing commercial activity.

Article 1, section 9, clause 6 states;

“No preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue, to the

ports of one State over those of another; nor shall Vessels to or from one State, be

obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another [capitalization in the original].18

The Article is clear, Congress’s commerce power is to eliminate specific trade policies, employed by states, favoring their domestic industries and commercial activities at the expense of sister states.

Comparing the Constitution’s sections on commerce, with the dictionary extant at the time [1785 edition of Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language], it is clear commerce is defined as trade not the manufacture and sale of goods or any other gainful activity. This includes all phases of agricultural production and trade between individuals.19 Hence, the federal government has zero authority to make national laws governing the economic activities of private individuals, companies, or states within or crossing state borders.

Vice President John C. Calhoun, regrettably binned by modernity over his views on slavery, was correct in observing regulation of commerce applies to relations between the United States and foreign nations. Congress cannot “regulate” commercial activities within or between states because such power belongs only to a national form of government and the United States is constituted a federal republic. Calhoun noted the only time the clause would empower the federal government in relations with states would be if one chose to erect tariffs on goods from other states.20

University Professor of Law and Government, Randy E. Barnett, notes in every case when the Constitution’s framers used the word “commerce”, the “narrowest” construction is employed. The phrase “among the states” referred to trade between states and “regulate” meant “to make regular”. Again, Congress has no authority to make rules governing economic activity in any state whether it crosses state lines or not.21

Professor St. George Tucker, an officer in the Virginia Militia during the War of Independence, and later law professor, wrote the Constitution never authorized the federal government to regulate or interfere with domestic commerce in any way. The Commerce Clause was designed to protect domestic commercial activity from federal interference. States never delegated Congress authority to make rules for any form of economic activity among people, businesses, and states.22 Yet, today, Congress and the Court interpret “to regulate” opposite of its meaning. Justice Clarence Thomas observes the “original meaning” (indicating the current one is in error) of commerce “was limited to the ‘trade and exchange’ of goods and transportation for this purpose”. Courts today have turned this meaning on its head by applying it to “any gainful activity”.23

A common understanding of the Commerce Clause remained consistent throughout the founding era. There is “not a single example from the reports of these proceedings [drafting and ratifying the Constitution] that unambiguously used the broad meaning of commerce, and many instances where the context makes clear that the speaker intended a narrow meaning”.24

Professor Brion McClanahan writes, since Chief Justice John Marshall, who was a strong proponent of a national as opposed to federal system, used Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) to create for Congress a “right to regulate interstate commerce”.25 Marshall had access to founding documents and even spoke in favor of ratification at the Virginia Convention. He knew the meaning and intent of the Commerce Clause. He knew Congress has no authority to regulate private or public economic activities inter or intrastate. But he, like Alexander Hamilton, supported abolishing state governments by consolidating all power in a national government. He ruled, Congress could intervene and make rules for commerce “within a single state” if it affected trade with or in another state.26 In so doing, he overturned the Constitution. From Marbury v. Madison (1803) McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) and subsequent cases, Marshall created from thin air, a new power for Congress rejected to it by the States and Constitution.

Marshall believed the framers meaning and intent for the Commerce Clause was “too narrow”. Congress should have the power to intervene in the economic affairs of state and people. He wrote, “The manner in which the Congress decides to regulate commerce is completely at the discretion of Congress”.27 Of course, he did. Such power would go a long way toward transforming a federal into a national system and destroy state’s reserved powers. Subsequent Courts built precedent on Marshall’s invalid rulings.

For many years they were successfully opposed by Presidents and Governors but, with the passage of time, and for various reasons, Americans began to accept this rewriting of the Constitution and extralegal abolition of the 10th Amendment. Federal Courts ruled Congress could now make laws governing all economic activities within and across state lines if such activities had a “substantial effect (determined by Congress and the Court), on other states. This is an open-ended grant of power because any “activity when taken in the aggregate, could be said to have a ‘substantial effect” on interstate trade. Marshall and subsequent courts eviscerated limits on Congress’s power.28

States created a federal not national government. Through the Constitution, they delegated to it limited and defined powers. They include foreign relations, international trade, war, and standardization of currency, weights and measurements, copyrights, and a postal system. States did not surrender but reserved all other powers to themselves. No federal branch of government, legislative, executive, or judicial, was given the power of judicial review. None has the sole or final authority to interpret the Constitution’s meaning. That right belongs to the people. Consolidationists at the federal convention proposed granting this power to the federal court but delegates voted it down knowing full well States would never ratify the proposed constitution if it contained such a provision. Therefore, the Court has zero authority to rule on the constitutionality of any law, federal or state. The Commerce Clause was written to prohibit states from restricting the free flow of interstate goods through internal tariffs and tolls. Period. Congress has no authority to regulate the economic activities of people, businesses, private or public, within states or because they cross an imaginary line.

How can anyone defend what they know little or nothing about? This amounts to an inexcusable forfeiture on the battlefield. As one who taught government for more than two decades in the public high school system, I am well aware what they teach is an imposter in place of the real Constitution. This is no excuse for conservatives and those claiming to be originalists, to promote the same imposter. After all, I too was taught the false constitution. I took the time to find the real one and others should as well. You may be surprised to discover how far removed, the one taught in public schools, is from the Constitution ratified by the Thirteen States. Hint, no amendments were ever passed to change the intended, and now opposite, meaning of t

The Supreme Court of the Public Broadcasting System?

A few days ago, I ran across a column by a Terrence Cummings, “COMMENTARY: But for Rittenhouse doctrine.” It was the usual garbage you’d expect from victim disarmers. I didn’t — at the time — think it worth a response column, but I did write to Cummings.

“But for the Rittenhouse doctrine, you would think you would have a right to take your AR-15 to any grievance or protest near you and across state lines. Then, you could possibly “murder” (used loosely throughout this piece) two people, injure another and call it self-defense.”

Lessee…

1. Rittenhouse didn’t have an AR-15. It was a Smith & Wesson M&P rifle.

2. Rittenhouse didn’t take the rifle across state lines.

3. “Murder” is a specific term best not used “loosely,” unless you enjoyed being sued for libel/defamation. Murder is the deliberate, unjustified killing of a human being by another human being. The general term you are searching for (if you were being honest) is “homicide.”

3a. Rittenhouse fled his first attacker. He fired only when trapped and physically attacked. That is confirmed by video evidence and witness testimony.

3b. Rittenhouse again fled an attacking mod (video & witnesses). He fired again when, laying on the ground, he was again attacked with potential lethal force (the skateboard; if you doubt that’s potentially lethal, ask the family of the Santa Monica man killed by being struck in the head with a skateboard, or check with the California police officer who ended up in ICU when struck with a skateboard by an Antifa protester).

3c. Rittenhouse — still on the ground — fired again at a person who repeated aimed his own unlawfully possessed firearm at Rittenhouse. Video & witnesses.

4. Immediately after the shootings, Rittenhouse fled the pursuing crowd and attempted to turn himself in to the police.

I never made it much past that, since you’d already proved yourself ignorant of federal and state law and the events of the night, and that you are grossly biased.

Cummings’ reply was simple.

Thanks so much for your email and sharing your perspective. It is welcomed and appreciate.

I assumed that was the end of it, until this morning when I received another email from Mr. Cummings. He referred me to another, earlier column he wrote: “COMMENTARY: America worships guns.”

More Illegaller In Georgia

Reports indicate that Georgia Dim-ocrats are planning some interesting gun control bills for the next session. I have questions.

Spoiler: Rep Sandra Scott is a Dim-ocrat, from the Atlanta area (District 76). Yes, you can expect stupidity.

Georgia Democrats Plan Gun Control Push in Legislature’s Next Session
Lawmakers plan to introduce bills similar to House bills 962 and 971, which did not advance during this year’s session and would require owners to report lost or stolen firearms and require firearm dealers to furnish gun locks in all retail firearm sales.

Right off, I see a problem. The previous HB 971 (also sponsored by Scott), which this new legislation would seemingly mirror, was rather more than a requirement that firearms dealer provide locks. It was a “secure storage” requirement for gun owners. I’ve noted that other attempts at “safe storage” (i.e.- useless for defense) laws have been fairly carefully written since Heller (2008), which tossed the requirement that firearms be “unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock.” The cleverer laws impose liability on a gun owner if an unauthorized person accesses and misuses a firearm. Scott’s 971 would have made “improper” storage a misdemeanor criminal offense whether or not a firearm is accessed, much less if it’s used.

This year’s Bruen ruling also comes into play with this unsafe storage requirement. In that case, the Supreme Court decided that gun control laws must be evaluated, not under intermediate scrutiny (“does it serve a perceived governmental need”) or strict scrutiny (“does it even work”), but under a general historical tradition test that begins with a presumption that Second Amendment rights must be protected.

How exactly does Scott justify so-called “secure storage” of firearms and mandatory reporting of lost or stolen firearms with BRUEN? A few quick searches don’t reveal any general historical tradition of requiring that firearms be stored in an unusable state.

From there, Scott descends into sheer stupidity, or lunacy; you decide.

State Rep. Sandra Scott, D-Rex, said lawmakers are also eying legislation that would prevent Glock owners from turning the guns into automatic weapons.

26 U.S. Code § 5861(a) and 18 U.S. Code § 922(a)(4)make it a felony for any unlicensed person to manufacture (or convert) a machinegun. The Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986 prohibited virtually all manufacture or transfer of mew machineguns. Georgia Code § 16-11-122 and § 16-11-123 likewise already ban possession of machineguns not federally licensed and taxed. Thus, it is, and has been for decades, unlawful for Glock, or any other firearm, owners to covert their firearms into machineguns.

What is the purpose of a new, redundant law outlawing that which is already outlawed, eh, Scott?

She did know this, right? Perhaps her proposed bill will address the issue of criminals who are already ignoring Georgia and federal law.

Ready for more legislative dumbassery?

“We really need to be trying to come up with a way that will restrict kids from being able to go in and purchase weapons…”

“Go in and purchase” suggests that she is speaking of “kids” (minors) purchasing firearms in gun stores. Raise your hands if you see the issue here.

18 U.S. Code § 922 makes it unlawful, a felony, for those under 18 to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer (and makes it a crime for a dealer to make such a sale). How did Scott miss that? It isn’t something new.

Georgia Code § 16-11-132 makes it unlawful for minor to even possess handguns, with certain exceptions for specified sporting activities under supervision, another long standing restriction that seems to have escaped the Dim-wit’s notice.

I brought these issues to Rep. Scott’s attention. To her credit, and unlike most pols, she actually replied.

Thanks for the information. I will have the legislation reviewed because I am concerned..

It seems to me that the proper time to “review” proposed legislation is before it’s filed or publicly announced, not after people publicly ridicule her ignorance. So forgive me if I think she’s more “concerned” with being outed as a fool (too late!), rather than constitutionality and redundancy.

Sadly, Scott appears to be running unopposed in her solidly Dim district; so there’s no opponent to tip off as to her legislative incompetence.

Commander In Chief

The United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

The President is primarily an executive. But…

Article II, Section 2.

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;

In a strictly and specifically military context, the President is the Commander in Chief of the United States armed forces. And only in that specific context.

Senior White advisor Keisha Lance Bottoms, after a stint of further ruining Atlanta, has clarified for those who missed the obvious militaristic elements of Biden’s Pennsylvania speech. He was speaking as the Commander in Chief, not merely as the executive.

“What the president has done as our commander in chief is he’s reminded us that democracies are fragile,” she said. “And if we are not intentional about preserving who we are as a country, if we are not intentional about reminding ourselves that there is a rule of law in this country, then we will be in danger.”

Which explains the presence of uniformed Marines, in a context where they otherwise seemed out of place.

When Biden made his threateningly partisan speech calling for the suppression of half the country, he was — according to Bottoms, senior White House advisor — speaking officially in a military context.

As Commander in Chief, Biden just authorized the use of military force against his political opposition. You, quite possibly.

I fear the American military is about to face a choice they haven’t seen since the dawn of the 19th century Civil War. It appears to be time for the armed forces to choose sides.

I hope this was merely more of Bottoms’ stupidity.

Added: I have reached out to Bottoms, asking if she would like to clarify her claim. As of this writing, all I have received is an automated response saying that she rarely checks her email. I’ve attempted an alternate address the auto-reply provided (no response to that one either).

Presumed Guilt In NYC

Somehow, this isn’t at all surprising.

Breaking: Newly Leaked Documents Reveal NYPD Assume Carrying a Firearm Illegal Until Proven Otherwise Despite SCOTUS Ruling
The New York Police Department (NYPD) treats all instances of concealed carry as an illegal act until it can be proven otherwise, according to newly leaked documents obtained by Project Veritas.

New York is playing against a Supreme Court Ruling.

Specifically, they are playing again the very “specific” ruling in Bruen.

In keeping with Heller, we hold that when the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct.

“Presumptively.” They don’t get to — legally — presume the conduct is unlawful. They — legally — must presume carry is lawful unless and until proven otherwise.

But what else would you expect of constitutionally and judicially ignorant scumbags who also ignored this part…

That said, respondents’ attempt to characterize New York’s proper-cause requirement as a “sensitive-place” law lacks merit because there is no historical basis for New York to effectively declare the island of Manhattan a “sensitive place” simply because it is crowded and protected generally by the New York City Police Department.

… to declare the city a “sensitive place” piecemeal.

It will soon be forbidden to carry a firearm, even concealed, in the famed Times Square district and other public places in the city and state of New York, authorities announced on Wednesday.

Can someone point me to a citation saying the Supreme Court cannot issue bench warrants for “supreme” contempt of court?

How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Bullets

So there I was, peacefully running the vacuum cleaner and listening to a radio show from Daniel Horowitz called Conservative Review. It’s always good, and I can learn a lot. They’ve been covering the Stasi raid on Mar-A-Lago, current events, and he refers a lot to the Federalist papers and relates them to the topic. All in all, just a very good show.

Today was a good show as well, but depressing as all get out. I was appalled that the Demoncrats decided to add 87,000 more armed IRS goons, willing to use deadly force. In fact that seems to be more important that using a calculator, or even doing math or learning the forms.

IRS Thug jobs

But you see, the IRS is just the tip of the iceberg. Turns out there are 200,000 armed federal agents, not only are they armed, they can make arrests. Yes indeedy, more than the Marines. Semper Calculator and Glock.

Who else has armed agents that one might not expect? Well, Daniel stated that he had recently had John Whitehead from the Rutherford Institute as a guest on his show and they discussed this. So I headed on over there because I had to keep backing the radio show up to try to get all these figures and it was becoming way too time consuming. I guess maybe I really should have learned shorthand. Do they still do shorthand?

But back to John, this is the list I got from him, it starts out in the order presented by Daniel.

IRS— 4,500 guns, including 621 shotguns, 539 long barrel rifles, 15 submachine guns and 5 million rounds of ammunition.

Apparently the armed IRS training started a long time ago, under the Bush regime. It was to train college and high school students how to be armed thugs. Doubt me? Watch the video, the desire for power over people seems to come through from the students. “You’re going to jail buddy”. Um, isn’t there supposed to be like, oh I dunno, some kind of hearing or something? But now the IRS solves “crimes”.

Here’s another one making the rounds, it’s shorter.

But this actually isn’t new! No no, this goes back, back to well, gee 2006 it looks like.

The IRS Already Spent Over $20 Million On Military Equipment And Ammo

But back to our by no means comprehensive list:

The VA, yes, the Veteran’s Administration– They have 11 million rounds of ammo, camo clothing, riot gear including helmets and tactical lights and some other goodies.

The HHS Department of Health and Human Services– The NIH and CDC are included in this, have 1,300 guns, including 5 submachine guns and 189 automatic firearms and 4 million rounds of ammunition. Are you kidding me?? Guess they’re afraid people are going to find out that Covid was created by Fauxci, is very survivable but, according the actuarial tables, the jab, not so much. But they do get training from Army Special Forces, so there is that. I guess that’s so they know hand to hand for jab resistors?

The SSA, the Social Security Administration– They have guns, armor and 800,000 rounds of ammunition. Guess they don’t need to worry about citizens being angry when they start giving out social security to illegals huh?

The Smithsonian—They have 620 armed special agents. Isn’t that special?

Who else has goodies? This list might surprise you, well, maybe not you, but it did me.

The U.S. Mint

The FDA—No wonder they aren’t worried about people finding out Pfizer paid the largest criminal fine in history for fraud, and that they didn’t want to release the data on the WuFlu shot for 75 years.

The SBA, Small Business Administration —Those loans will be repaid on time.

NOA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—They’re gonna shoot Flipper?

The Department of Education— Pay attention you little buggers.

Energy Department—You will have a green car and clothes dryer, or else.

Bureau of Engraving and Printing— I don’t even know what to say about this one.

An assortment of public universities— And a guess off the top of my head is, they are all gun-free zones, so how does that work?

And you thought the Post Office going to green vehicles and spying on social media for the government was a big problem! HA. The Xiden crime junta will show you!

In addition to all this, a survey was sent out and several of the agencies have tactical units as well.

But you know what? If you have the right kind of politicians in your state, you may have a bit of protection. I just heard this Florida politicians name on the show, and I love him! Jimmy Patronis is Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, and boy does he have some good ideas!

“Even though the Free State of Florida cannot control the insanity of Washington we must do what we can to protect our small businesses,” Patronis told The Epoch Times on Aug. 18. “This massive super expansion of the IRS is concerning to me. I think Washington is totally disconnected from what real Americans and Main Street is feeling.”

The four pillars of protection Patronis is suggesting involve requiring state-chartered banks to generate a regular report on IRS engagement in order to identify if patterns of “targeting the middle class and small businesses are ongoing. Second, establishing a Civil Liability Trust Fund to help small businesses defend themselves–or sue the IRS–in cases of politically motivated audits or any federal overreach. Third, requiring new IRS agents coming into the state to have a Florida license. And last, establishing criminal penalties by enforcing laws based on viewpoint or political discrimination.

Now tell me you don’t love those ideas!! And that was part of the point of Daniel’s radio show. The Founding Fathers never thought the threats would come from the Federal Government because it wasn’t suppose to have that much power. But they figured the States and the Federal Government would keep each other in check. And that is what we need now, strong state sovereignty legislation. Like versions of a Second Amendment Protection Acts, where if the Federal Agents exceed their wheelhouse they can be reined in. Mind you, we’ll need good local law-enforcement, and the left has tried to destroy that. I wrote a long time ago that if you keep demonizing cops and deputies pretty soon the only people that would go into the field would be the jackboots that they were accusing good men and women of being at the time. But those are just rough ideas on my part, Mr. Patronis has his act together.

I just hope one of the things the kids are learning in IRS school is:

“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities…”
