Simon, I so appreciate how you keep the lies of the plandemic intertwined in every other aspect of the FAKE NEWS we have been subjected for a good portion of my 67 years. I have commented before that I lived in the USSR in 1976 as young and dumb language major exchange student, trying to improve my Russian. However, the ridiculousness of the paranoid politburo's lies they would tell their people left an impression. Obvious oppression, surveillance, and coercion, and propaganda banners everywhere seemed a far cry from my freedom loving homeland. I pitied the soviet citizenry, especially the ones who I grew close to over my semester there. I believe my BS monitor was being honed by what I experienced directly. My HUGE mistake was naively believing that my country was immune to trading freedom for totalitarianism. The propaganda machine that has victimized all of us, including this "journalist" you mention, is evil and ubiquitous. Evil always eats its own. I was asleep as its deployments in my homeland were more sinister, slithering in to EVERY institution under the radar, and after convincing the press and all its minions that some "greater good"🤮 element was at play. Your metaphor of the ants is appropos. Poor gal - she thought she was in the club. George Carlin's warning about the "big club and you ain't in it" is a hard pill to swallow.

I stumbled across a Rumble channel called: 16mm Educational Films. The channel creator posts old reel to reel films that where shown in classrooms in the 50's, 60's, & 70's. I have been watching them sporadically. Some are probably propaganda, some aren't though as there are numerous topics covered in the different films. It is interesting to see what was being taught in schools 60-70 years ago, compared to today. They are probably closer to real truth than what kids today are learning.

Considering kids today are learning they can be a girl while having a penis, white people are the source of all problems, and POC who comprise 92% of the global population are an oppressed minority - I'd say you're correct.

I'd like to just sit and binge watch them, but I don't have a lot of spare time and there is so much going on in the world to keep up on, I have to be selective on what I spend my time on.

"Poor gal - she thought she was in the club."

I would not feel too sorry for her.

The bigger takeaway from your observation is that she is far from the only one. [They] will eat their own and think nothing of it. Evil works that way.

If Jan. 6th was an insurrection what was the summer of 2020? 4 police, that we know of, were murdered, federal buildings were desecrated, historical statues destroyed, businesses burned. People were killed some beat up and this continued all summer. Not a word....CRICKETS. Ever notice how Democrats, no matter the crime, do NOT get indicted or imprisoned ONLY Republicans. This is how our fair DOJ operates.

Can we just X out and burn the whole idea of J6

Lol. A pResident can’t federalize anything. Laughably, the NG was federalized by Forty-Five before he finished his first term (and they still are per his EO). Now coming to the end of his (second) term, the lawful CIC who still holds the Suitcase continues to call the shots with his ‘200 generals.’ Meanwhile in DC Comics land, the Vaudeville slapstick show continues to air hourly performance to (snicker) sellout crowds...

Doesn't it make perfect-MAGA sense Texas = Narrative battlefield for future of America given how much emphasis 45 put into BUILD THE WALL back in '16? Systematic rallying of RFK, Mike Johnson, Red Governors (incl Ron Sanctimonius) points to not just States vs Fed Battle ... it points to Sovereign Constitutionalists vs DS Corrupt Stooges. Are White Hats using extreme Illegal migrant invasion to pull back DS curtain? And is it working?

Expand full comment

On the subject of the southern wall I would like to make a point. Trump was laughed at for saying Mexico would pay for it. But, they actually did an no one ever bothers to explain how.

In 2017 America enjoyed a $71 Billion trade deficit with Mexico. Those dollars are of little value in Mexico just sitting a bank vault, so they are used to buy U.S. Treasury bonds. So our Congress has more money to spend thanks to our deficit with Mexico. The Congress was asked by Trump to spend some of the Mexican trade deficit to build his border wall, but they refused. Apparently they did not want to allow Trump to prove his point, but he still found a way.

I think this needs to be explained because it shows two things clearly:

1) Trump is aware of how things actually work.

2) The Congress is full of corrupt weasels who rely on the ignorance of the public to win politically.

Hmmm, MA was always considered a deep blue state but MAYBE not so much anymore?? Democrats, just don't vote for him if you don't want him for POTUS! Why are they making a big deal of letting all those American First citizens of Massachusetts vote for #Trump2024, personally I know quite a few!

I have a feeling that a lot of blue states are actually red, but there has been so much election fraud over the years that those red states have been artificially turned blue.

Yes I agree!!

My hope is once Trump is back in office we will actually have an HONEST AND TRANSPARENT accounting of 2020 (and others) which demonstrably PROVES the election was stolen just like they are in foreign countries. Once all of this is done I have some interesting things to share myself but there's no way I'll disclose publicly until things have settled. Which quite frankly is looking to be 2025/2026. The media machine must either die or be entirely rebooted.

If you watched the Mike Lindell videos it's reasonably clear that some serious shit was going on during the election and with all the ballot stuffing and shutting GOP out of vote counting - it's absolute nonsense to pretend the election was "the most secure in history".

God I hate liars. I just want to puke all over them.

Interesting isn’t it. But they did just mail out applications to request a mail-in ballot ??

Yes it is! I received one this week and burned it. Last time I received two. Burned both of them. They should be requested not given out like candy!

When it comes to the Border we all know the reason behind the Uniparty wanting massive illegal immigration into the USA, but I think we are not doing a well enough job breaking down the many aspects behind the invasion, there are several to the invasion with one being the Drug Cartels wanting to get a strong foothold in the bigger city's, set up their drug distribution sites on street corners in low income housing areas and once these cartels get established they will recruit from the local youth to enforce their territories which will inevitably turn into NO-GO ZONES for police, emergency or first responders the same way "CHAZZ" ended up during the Summer of Love.

There is the uneducated replacement workforce the elites want to work in their factories for lower than normal wages, yet I believe this tactic will fail, I believe the illegals and Mexican community that is already established here in the US will inform the new arrivals about how the Uniparty only plan to use them for their votes so they can stay in power eventually turning America into the same type of Country they just fled from, a majority of the illegals want Law and Order instead of lawlessness this is the reason they decided to chance all the dangers of crossing the Border in the first place.

There are the terrorists flooding across the border that see an opportunity to make a lot of money leading and organizing riots disguised as protests, basically they will work for anyone who pays them to create as much chaos as they want while being protected against criminal charges from Soros funded District Attorney's, the same goes for all the criminals being mass released from prisons.

We also know the Uniparty has been wanting to start a 2nd Civil War for a long time now, and this is exactly what their Propagandist inside the MSM are going to push really hard now that there is a crisis at the Southern Border that they have no choice but to report on now that National attention has been brought to the Southern Border with the SCOTUS ruling, and the showdown between The Federal Government and the State of Texas has begun, it's going to fall upon us to inform the people about all the information the MSM is NOT reporting to them in their daily Propaganda pieces.

We should focus more on exposing how the MSM Cherry-Picks information from news stories and how they manipulate the information by use of partial truths and quotes to give their viewer/reader the impression of a different conclusion other than what they would have come to if they knew all the information about the story.

When the Obama Administration revised The Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 in 2012, the MSM can now be used as a Propaganda and Opinion piece information weapon the same way the Nazi Party did in the 1930s when they overthrew Germany.

When you control the information the people are allowed to know, then you will control how the people will think, when you control how the people think you can then control how the people act and will react to a narrative.

If this happens then it would be evidence that white hats aren't in control. However, I've not seen or heard reports that this is happening at least at the scale we'd expect by now after 3 years of this so IMO I beleive this potential is being actively managed. Just opinion based on observation though.

The white hats have to let some of it happen, to show the Normies what is going on.

I would not want to bet very much against Texas, if [they] actually do try to go kinetic. Most of the military comes from southern states and Midwestern rednecks.

Interesting that the only reference to the newest & and greatly desired, proxy state, Israel, deals with the CIA inserting themselves into the mix to likely force some event that ‘they’ believe will either tug at Congress’ heartstrings, or put the fear of Moloch into them and reopen the $$$ spigot! Hmm....

The state - federal battle is being set up. This, too, is interesting that the federal government is doing this to allow even more of an invasion. The government should have our active duty military at the border to protect our country. The federal government is allowing/encouraging illegal invasion that puts wealth into the criminal cartels and ultimately will destroy the country unless stopped. A huge red pill and I’d anticipate we’re going to get an up close reminder of what our constitution states.

The 2-tier system of justice is being reinforced in the citizenry by Navarro’s sentence vs Hunter.

Mainstream is going out with a whine....too bad, but Simon has a telling point, “Taylor is the result of generations of social engineering and the manipulation of so many institutions that it’s hard to even conceptualize.” I’ve lived through most of that time and can’t imagine how one could be THAT brainwashed....the evidence is in front of us, however.

BB’s take, too, “1) Become authentic (impossible.)

2) Learn to code.

Like Simon stated, who IS shaking the jar?😀

"My Party Is Completely Delusional": Dean Phillips Destroys Democrat Demagoguery Of Republicans After Attending Trump Rally"

I am in the process of writing a piece for my personal FB page to answer, indirectly, what I have seen posted by a couple of friends as far back as grade school. Important information comes from "The Ruling Class" by Anglo M. Codevilla (2010).

On Jan. 23rd, I had a real "eureka" moment when listening to Dr. Jan Halper-Hayes on Elijah Streams :

https://elijahstreams.com/videos/dr-jan-halper-hayes-navigating-adversity-amidst-great-change/

She has phenomenal insight from her backgournd and position on a Defense Dept. Task Force. Included on the team are "a couple of very woke social pyschologists". Jan says how she has struggled to under a liberal mind-set (haven't we all).

The woke ones scooled her on the situation:

1. They don’t operate from any kind of rational thinking or reality

2. Have been educated to think their feelings tell them reality

3. If you are not in agreement w/ them;

1. They may wipe you out

2. Engage in character assassination

3. “ In cancel culture w/ heavy judgment

Education system reinforces that you should react and not think.

Codevilla aptly likens them to the "high school clique". And, as with the high school clique, membership is NOT based on merit, but on comity.

Thank You!

I caught the whole interview and loved it, even though a good bit of it was a repeat of the Trump TS viral Aug video.

One important new observation she made was how our educational system teaches / cultivates reaction not thinking!

Emotion vs Rational Thinking. They are creating Liberal minds with

strong egos, who cannot admit when they are wrong.

That CNBC article was a great read also, amazing really. 🙏❤️

A reason I got into this was a posting by my first female playmate. We were in school together from 2nd grade on. Her father was a WVU football coach and they were neighbors. She married her HS sweetheart who just retired as a HS football coach in MD. She posted a "letter" in which a "child" asked her "grandfather" about Trump. My friend stated she could not understand how we could like Trump as he was so awful and such a liar. She got pretty close to declaring us domestic terrorists. She went on to cite what Rachel Maddow and someone else had been saying. Now Rachel has yet to be correct on what she has strung along for weeks, before the truth comes out.....but these people go back for more whereas I drop them like a hot potato. Rather than answer her directly, I am choosing to write one or 2 treatises on the subject which she will see. BTW, Trump is very aware of Dr. Jan and has given her shout-outs. However, the task force remains very "separate" in what they do and do not know where things go..... I now feel very comfortable citing the public school system as a "weapon of mass destruction".

Good Luck writing an essay that could sway a liberal-captured mind.

I never watch (have never watched) Maddow…coming across clips now and then was enough to convince me that her narratives are an emotional trap for the TDS crowd. So sad, tragic really, not just for our country but for their own emotional and mental wellbeing…running on the fuel of hate is terrible for the soul. I appreciated Dr Jan emphasizing that this is a Spiritual War. Maddow is a good example of the enemy in this spiritual war.

Blessings of inspiration in your writings! 🙏🕊

I have only seen Maddow clips also. Enough for me. I am not trying to sway the liberals, but enlighten the awake why truth does not get through. In the meantime, I am answering the liberal mind-set. They will only be swayed when enough bad happens to them......while we have to sit and suffer too.

Burning Bright;

Biden can't federalize the Texas National Guard because Trump federalized them back in 2017. and Biden never has done anything about Trump federalizing them! As you know, Biden is not the real President, he is the pResident and the Federalized National Guard, which by the way includes the National Guard of all 50 States, not just Texas, recognizes Trump as commander in Chief (CIC) not Biden.

SCOTUS knows everything in the above paragraph and I believe SCOTUS is setting up a situation where the 25 State Governors who are backing Abbot will soon let America know that Abbot's stance is the Constitutional stanch and the Biden Administrations stance is Unconstitutional.

The Movie we are watching is getting close to the climax and normie minds will either have to expand or they risk exploding! NCSWIC!
