Central Bank Digital Currencies

 

Many people have held bitcoin up to be the panacea to central bank control over the economy. They argue it offers a decentralised currency working off its own decentralised blockchain however after the initial enthusiasm about this new currency which some linked to the intelligence services as a means to move currencies over borders anonymously, there began to be talk that the central bankers would create their own digital currencies using closed blockchains that they controlled.

 

Sure enough, years later discussion of CBDC's (central bank digital currencies) has now gone mainstream and there is an understanding that they would be 'programmable' which would enable the central bankers to not only monitor all of your transactions but to be able to control whether or not you can purchase something at the point of sale.

 

This becomes a big issue when seen in the light of the push for a 'green agenda' where people will be pressured through various means to shop according to the new paradigm for example buying insect burgers instead of beef burgers.

 

In china citizens are given 'social credit scores' according to their behaviours that then determine whether or not they may get bank loans, mortgages or even travel. Corporations meanwhile are refused investment if they do not gain adequate 'ESG' scores.

 

So the CBDC's represent part of a wider system of control that enables the globalists elites behind the WEF to micro-manage peoples lives:

US presidential candidate blames CIA for JFK assassination

Robert F Kennedy Jr. said the agency’s culpability was “beyond a reasonable doubt”

The CIA was behind the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1963 and likely involved in the murder of US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy in 1968,  Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. alleged during an interview with WABC radio host John Catsimatidis on Sunday.

“There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in [JFK's] murder,” Kennedy declared, describing it as “beyond a reasonable doubt at this point.”

“The evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder, and the coverup,” the candidate continued, describing efforts to discredit this theory as a “60-year coverup.” Kennedy cited the book “JFK and the Unspeakable” by James Douglas as the best compilation of evidence on the subject, though dozens if not hundreds of works have been written about the assassination and the CIA’s alleged role.

Planned parenthood

 

Planned parenthood was created by margaret sanger and others originally to abort black babies. It has its roots in the elites eugenics movement which of course became notoriously linked with the nazis but which was in fact embraced prior to that by both the british fabian socialists who formed a kind of intellectual brain trust funded by the rothschilds and by the american banking elites on the other side of the pond.

 

The father of Bill gates was the director of planned parenthood and is a close associate of the rockefeller family who along with the rothschilds and other central bankers formed the United Nations world government and its offshoots like the world health organisation (WHO).

 

Today Planned parenthood run 'educational' programmes teaching children about adult sexual themes and about transgenderism and have aborted over a third of a million babies in the US in the last year.

 

Planned parenthood were caught on hidden cameras selling the body parts of the babies they had aborted, on the open market:

Planned Parenthood was just forced to admit in court to harvesting aborted fetal parts

September 12, 2019 12:00 AM

In a recent preliminary hearing in the court case against the Center for Medical Progress, a Planned Parenthood official admitted to harvesting aborted fetal parts for the purpose of selling them to human tissue procurement companies.

Sandra Merritt and David Daleiden are currently defending themselves against 15 felony charges after their series of undercover videos exposed the abortion provider’s unethical trade in baby body parts. As Liberty Counsel has pointed out, Merritt and Daleiden are the first undercover journalists to be criminally prosecuted in California history, indicating that the charges may have been politically motivated.

The felony charges against the Center for Medical Progress have been pursued by pro-choice politicians, such as former California Attorney General Kamala Harris and current state Attorney General Xavier Becerra. Harris has received huge campaign donations from the abortion industry in the past, including more than $81,000 from Planned Parenthood and other abortion advocacy groups. As California’s attorney general, Harris chose not to investigate the illegal activities of Planned Parenthood. Instead, she had her office search Daleiden’s home to seize his laptop and the hard drives that contained video footage of his investigation.

Daleiden’s representation, the Thomas More Society, filed a motion to void the warrant that led to the search and seizure of Daleiden’s property. The motion discloses evidence of Harris' efforts to protect Planned Parenthood:

“The timeline of the Attorney General’s investigation as reflected in internal email communication released between the Attorney General and Planned Parenthood shows an investigation conducted and overseen by Planned Parenthood and allied activist groups as the basis for a sham search warrant. The special investigative team tasked with preparing and serving a search warrant on Mr. Daleiden’s home apparently did not believe that the search warrant was accurate or based on probable cause.”

With the revealing testimony of several abortion industry workers, such as Melissa Fowler, the vice president of the National Abortion Federation, it seems the gruesome practices of the abortion industry will finally be forced out into the open.

Fowler appeared in a recording that Merritt and Daleiden obtained at a NAF conference. Although she claimed in her testimony that she did not know what a fetal tissue procurement agency was, Fowler easily identified StemExpress as a repeat NAF vendor. In their summary of the first day of the trial, the Center for Medical Progress also noted that NAF Exhibitor Rules and Regulations did not prohibit video recording at the time the undercover videos were filmed.

Doe 7, an abortionist, admitted to procuring fetal tissue from the abortions she performed at Planned Parenthood. She also confessed to being familiar with StemExpress. She testified that she was aware of cases where money had been exchanged as part of such transactions. It is worth noting that StemExpress and Planned Parenthood Northern California are both under ongoing FBI and U.S. Department of Justice investigation for selling fetal organs and tissue illegally.

The prosecution attempted to build a case around the security concerns of the abortion industry, with Fowler taking the stand to insinuate that the violence of pro-lifers necessitated the need for tight security measures at NAF conferences. Yet further testimony from Doe 7 contradicted these claims. The unnamed abortionist admitted that her recorded conversation with Daleiden had not taken place in private. Moreover, a never-released video of Doe 7 revealed the presence of nearby passersby who would have been able to overhear the conversation.

Daleiden’s attorney, Peter Breen, noted that “none of the content was confidential.” Moreover, California’s penal code, enacted under the California Invasion of Privacy Act, specifically excludes conversations that can easily be overheard or recorded. Breen also added that Daleiden’s role as an undercover journalist should grant him protection under California’s shield laws.

With the preliminary hearing expected to last until Sept. 17, Merritt and Daleiden will continue to defend themselves by pointing to the clear conflict of interest between the abortion industry and the California attorney general's office.

Daleiden has openly called this show trial “a biased attack on First Amendment civil rights and a political prosecution to shield Planned Parenthood from accountability for their crimes against women and children." As long as the trial continues, he will have a platform from which to discuss the matter.

i think the climate does change, but the question is whether or not man's actions have caused the change or if it is down to other things such as solar activity

 

he's spent 30 years as an environmental lawyer suing polluters so when he speaks about the koch brothers it is because of the pollution of rivers and air and all that kind of stuff so we need to separate out environmental damage from toxins which i think we can all agree is a big problem from climate change which we know powerful people are using as a lever to try and hoodwink everyone into a technocratic world government

RFK Jr.: “Mega-Billionaires” are Using Climate Change to Usher in Totalitarian Controls of Population (Video)

by Jim Hoft Apr. 30, 2023

RFK Jr. is not your typical communist Democrat. Democrats must by very worried as RFK Jr. starts making the media rounds. The noted environmentalist is not a globalist totalitarian. He is a free market capitalist. That makes him unique on the current Democrat platform.

During his recent discussion with Iverson, Kennedy said the “mega-billionaires” are using climate change to usher in totalitarian controls of the population.

 

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.: Climate issues and pollution issues are being exploited by, you know, the the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates and all of these big, you know, mega billionaires. The same way that COVID was exploited to use it as an excuse to clamp down top down totalitarian controls on society and to and then to give us engineering solutions. And if you look closely, as it turns out, the guys who are promoting those engineering solutions are the people who own the IPS, the patents for those solutions. It’s a way they’ve given climate chaos a bad name because people now see that it’s just another crisis that’s being used to strip by the wealth of the poor and to enrich billionaires. And I, for 40 years, have had the same policy on climate and engineering. You can go check my speeches from the 1980s, and I’ve said, the most important solution for environmental issues? Not top down controls. It’s free market capitalism.

Biden Delays Release Of CIA Files On Kennedy Assassination — RFK Jr. Responds

Biden Delays Release Of CIA Files On Kennedy Assassination — RFK Jr. Responds
Image: JFK limousine by Walt Cisco, Dallas Morning News
 
While the media has touted the Thursday release of over 13,000 records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by the Biden administration, the release fell painfully short of the transparency the American people have been promised for decades. Frustration is being felt by millions of Americans that the 3 percent of the records still redacted completely or partially could be pivotal to understanding that tragic day.

Perhaps no one feels that frustration more, than the late president's nephew, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

According to NBC News, the records in question primarily reflect the time spent by Lee Harvey Oswald in Mexico City and alleged contacts he had with CIA assets while there.

"But about 4,300 records remain redacted in part — with no record completely blacked-out — according to the agency, and experts say there's no justification for withholding them to protect national security or intelligence gathering."

The agenda to normalise pedophilia

 

UN Wants to Decriminalize Sex Between Minors and Adults

The United Nations discreetly issued a report in March encouraging members of the UN to decriminalize sex between minors and adults.

The report is titled “The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty.”

On page 22 of the report, the UN states, “With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Enforcement may not be linked to the sex/gender of participants or age of consent to marriage.”

The report continues, “Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law.”.

Bill Gates Plows Millions into Group Claiming Kids Are ‘Sexual Beings’

Frank Bergman
April 17, 2023

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has invested tens of millions of dollars into a radical nongovernmental organization (NGO) that is pushing for young children to be considered “sexual beings.”

Not to be confused with the pro-abortion organization, the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) is a group that campaigns for kids to be sexualized from an early age.

IPPF claims that children are “born sexual” and lobbies for children under 10 years of age to be taught about “commercial sex work.”

The NGO wields significant influence on global sex education and comprises 120 independent organizations in over 146 countries.

The organization, including its European network, has received over $80 million from Gates.

Minneapolis Public Schools Holds ‘Gender Resource Fair’ Complete With Drag Queen Story Hour

The Minneapolis Public Schools has held a “gender resource fair” promoting changing children’s genders — complete with a drag queen story hour.

Transgender activist doctor Angela Goepferd spoke at the event about how to support “young transgender children.”

Goepferd spoke to adults while the drag queen story hour took place for children — likely separating many from their parents.

Nolte: Disney Groomers Lost $258 Million on Woke ‘Lightyear,’ ‘Strange World’

John Nolte

15 Apr 2023

It cost the degenerates at Disney more than $250 million to try and groom little kids by introducing adult sexuality into the children’s films Lightyear and Strange World.

Better still, no movie lost more money last year than the woke Strange World. And other than Strange World and Amsterdam, Lightyear was last year’s biggest money loser.

According to a detailed analysis at the far-left Deadline, after everything is totaled up, from the box office to home video, Lightyear lost $106 million and Strange World lost a whopping $152 million.

Yes, the sickos at Disney are so desperate to sexualize your children, they were willing to lose more than a quarter billion—with a “B”—dollars.

Both of those films were based on homosexual plotlines. Lightyear was part of the infallible (until now) Toy Story franchise.

Outrage Over WHO Guidance on “Sexuality for Infants”

The World Health Organisation (WHO) is under pressure to withdraw guidance for schools recommending that toddlers “ask questions about sexuality”, “explore gender identities” and learn about “enjoyment” of “early childhood masturbation”. The Telegraph has the story.

The guidance says that “sexuality education starts from birth” and is described as a “framework for policy makers, educational and health authorities and specialists”.

Its advice on how to “talk about sexual matters” with young children was aimed at policymakers across Europe, and was translated into several European languages and promoted at national and international events, according to the WHO.

The document was also cited in a report consulted by Welsh ministers who last year rolled out a mandatory sexual education syllabus to schools in Wales, and has led to a backlash from the Government, MPs and activists.

The advice proposes that four-to-six year-olds should be taught to “talk about sexual matters” and “consolidate their gender identity”.

It recommends that children under the age of four should be told they have “the right to ask questions about sexuality” and “the right to explore gender identities”.

The WHO guidance also says that children aged four and under should be taught about “enjoyment and pleasure when touching one’s own body, early childhood masturbation”.

These topics are described as the “minimal standards that need to be covered by sexuality education”.

A Government spokesperson said: “The U.K. Government does not recognise this WHO guidance and we don’t agree with its recommendations. We have not distributed or promoted it to schools. We offer our own guidance to help schools to teach children and young people about relationships and health.”

However, the WHO guidance, first published in 2010, was cited in a 2017 report commissioned by Welsh ministers entitled ‘Informing the Future of the Sex and Relationships Curriculum in Wales‘.

UN, WHO, Bill Gates are working to normalize pedophilia around the world: journalist


The UN, WHO, and NGOs like the Gates Foundation want to 'sexualize little children' and 'tear down their natural defense systems' against sex predators, David Sorensen said.
Mon May 15, 2023 - 5:31 pm EDT

The United Nations (U.N.) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are working to normalize pedophilia globally, according to Dutch author and journalist David Sorensen. 

“I’ve worked for several months now on gathering evidence that shows undeniably, conclusively that the United Nations and United Nations and the World Health Organization and other organizations like Planned Parenthood and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation […] are working all over the world […] to completely take over the education in kindergartens and elementary schools,” Sorensen said on the Truth for Health podcast, hosted by Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet.  

lg.php?bannerid=0&campaignid=0&zoneid=1&

These organizations not only want to “sexualize little children” but also “to tear down their natural defense systems so that they would completely be open for sexual predators anywhere, everywhere.” 

“They literally say every child is a sexual being from the age of zero, that they are a sexual being regardless of age,” he continued. “And that’s so having sex is their human right. Therefore, every child needs to have sexual partners and has to be guided by the schools to engage in sexual relationships from the youngest age possible.” 

In its “International technical guidance on sexuality education,” the U.N. promotes “comprehensive sex education,” which it says is designed to “equip children and young people with knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that will empower them to […] develop respectful social and sexual relationships[.]” 

In these guidelines, educators are instructed to teach children, starting at the age of nine, about masturbation.  

The WHO’s “Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe,” are even more explicit and start at an even younger age. For instance, it advises educators to inform children aged zero to four about “enjoyment and pleasure when touching one’s own body” and “early childhood masturbation.” 

Children aged six to nine years old are to be taught about “Sex in the media (including the Internet),” according to the WHO guidelines. 

Moreover, for nine- to 12-year-olds, the WHO advises educators to enable children to “make a conscious decision to have sexual experiences or not,” wrongly implying that children are able to consent to sex at such a young age. 

The Rutgers Foundation: A global network for pedophilia? 

Sorensen told the story of the Dutch Rutgers Foundation, which “operates in 27 nations in the world” to teach “sexual education,” and whose founder had “regular sex trips to Asia where he systematically abused children, Asian sex slaves.” He furthermore “published a magazine that was promoting pedophilia,” Sorensen said.

COINTELPRO

COINTELPRO (syllabic abbreviation derived from Counter Intelligence Program; 1956–1971) was a series of covert and illegal[1][2] projects actively conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic American political organizations.[3][4] FBI records show COINTELPRO resources targeted groups and individuals the FBI[5] deemed subversive,[6] including feminist organizations,[7][8] the Communist Party USA,[9] anti–Vietnam War organizers, activists of the civil rights and Black power movements (e.g. Martin Luther King Jr., the Nation of Islam, and the Black Panther Party), environmentalist and animal rights organizations, the American Indian Movement (AIM), Chicano and Mexican-American groups like the Brown Berets and the United Farm Workers, independence movements (including Puerto Rican independence groups such as the Young Lords and the Puerto Rican Socialist Party), a variety of organizations that were part of the broader New Left, and white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan[10][11] and the far-right group National States' Rights Party.[12]

In 1971 in San Diego, the FBI financed, armed, and controlled an extreme right-wing group of former members of the Minutemen anti-communist paramilitary organization, transforming it into a group called the Secret Army Organization that targeted groups, activists, and leaders involved in the Anti-War Movement, using both intimidation and violent acts.[13][14][15]

The FBI has used covert operations against domestic political groups since its inception; however, covert operations under the official COINTELPRO label took place between 1956 and 1971. Many of the tactics used in COINTELPRO are alleged to have seen continued use including; discrediting targets through psychological warfare; smearing individuals and groups using forged documents and by planting false reports in the media; harassment; wrongful imprisonment; illegal violence; and assassination.[16][17][18][19] According to a Senate report, the FBI's motivation was "protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order".[20]

According to attorney Brian Glick in his book War at Home, the FBI used five main methods during COINTELPRO:

  1. Infiltration: Agents and informers did not merely spy on political activists. Their main purpose was to discredit, disrupt and negatively redirect action. Their very presence served to undermine trust and scare off potential supporters. The FBI and police exploited this fear to smear genuine activists as agents.
  2. Psychological warfare: The FBI and police used a myriad of "dirty tricks" to undermine movements. They planted false media stories and published bogus leaflets and other publications in the name of targeted groups. They forged correspondence, sent anonymous letters, and made anonymous telephone calls. They spread misinformation about meetings and events, set up pseudo movement groups run by government agents, and manipulated or strong-armed parents, employers, landlords, school officials, and others to cause trouble for activists. They used bad-jacketing to create suspicion about targeted activists, sometimes with lethal consequences.[74]
  3. Harassment via the legal system: The FBI and police abused the legal system to harass dissidents and make them appear to be criminals. Officers of the law gave perjured testimony and presented fabricated evidence as a pretext for false arrests and wrongful imprisonment. They discriminatorily enforced tax laws and other government regulations and used conspicuous surveillance, "investigative" interviews, and grand jury subpoenas in an effort to intimidate activists and silence their supporters.[73][75]
  4. Illegal force: The FBI conspired with local police departments to threaten dissidents; to conduct illegal break-ins in order to search dissident homes; and to commit vandalism, assaults, beatings and assassinations.[73] The objective was to frighten or eliminate dissidents and disrupt their movements.
  5. Undermine public opinion: One of the primary ways the FBI targeted organizations was by challenging their reputations in the community and denying them a platform to gain legitimacy. Hoover specifically designed programs to block leaders from "spreading their philosophy publicly or through the communications media". Furthermore, the organization created and controlled negative media meant to undermine black power organizations. For instance, they oversaw the creation of "documentaries" skillfully edited to paint the Black Panther Party as aggressive, and false newspapers that spread misinformation about party members. The ability of the FBI to create distrust within and between revolutionary organizations tainted their public image and weakened chances at unity and public support.[49]

The Durham Report Leaves No Doubt: The FBI Is A Mortal Threat To Democracy

May 16, 2023

What the report reveals above all is that the deep state is real, it’s corrupt, and it’s at war with the American people.

Visit on Twitter @johnddavidson

Imagine someone told you that in the run-up to a U.S. presidential election, the FBI tried to undermine a candidate at the behest of the opposing campaign by cooking up a false narrative of collusion with Moscow.

And let’s say this conspiracy implicated not just the FBI but also the White House, Justice Department, and CIA — and that nearly the entire corporate press went along with it, gleefully spreading the false narrative that this candidate was a Russian agent, running story after story of fabricated nonsense in a coordinated effort to ensure the opposing candidate won.

 

In normal times, you’d scoff at such an outlandish story, dismiss it as the plot of some half-baked Tom Clancy novel. That could never happen in America, you’d say, where we have free and fair elections, the rule of law, and so on. And anyway, the media would never allow it to happen. They’d be too invested in exposing the conspiracy and claiming, rightly, a Watergate-type story of their very own.

But you’d be wrong. All of that really happened in 2016, recounted in all its jaw-dropping detail in Special Counsel John Durham’s 306-page report, released Monday after nearly four years in the making. The big takeaway from the report is that the Obama-era FBI launched a full investigation of the Trump campaign, codenamed Crossfire Hurricane, in the summer of 2016 despite having zero evidence of any collusion between Trump and Russia.

Not only that, but officials at the highest levels of the U.S. government, including President Obama, knew that the entire false narrative that Trump was colluding with Moscow was completely made up by the Clinton campaign in an effort to weaponize the federal government against Trump and distract from Hillary Clinton’s own email server scandal.

The Durham report recounts how in August 2016, CIA Director John Brennan briefed Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Director James Comey, and other senior administration officials on what the report calls the “Clinton Plan intelligence,” a scheme Clinton approved in July 2016 “to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services.”

In other words, all of these senior officials, some of the most powerful people in the federal government, knew as early as the summer of 2016 that the Clinton campaign had a plan to whip up a scandal by falsely alleging collusion between Trump and Moscow. But all of them ignored this important fact when the FBI launched Crossfire Hurricane around the same time on the basis of far-fetched claims that Trump was a Russian agent — claims that were made in the Steele dossier, a slapdash piece of oppo-research the Clinton campaign itself had paid for.

The FBI knew all of this, as did Brennan, yet they ignored it to keep Crossfire Hurricane alive, along with the narrative that Trump was in bed with Russia. That fall, the FBI used the baseless dossier to acquire FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. All of this was eventually leaked to a compliant and incurious new media, and voila! Clinton’s Trump-Russia scandal was born — without a shred of evidence, and indeed despite significant evidence to the contrary. 

My colleagues at The Federalist have detailed the shocking contents of the Durham report (hereherehere, and here), but taking a step back from the dizzying array of details, every American needs to understand that what made all of this possible was the stupefying level of corruption and partisan malevolence deep inside our federal government.

The Russia-collusion hoax was concocted and brought to life only because the most powerful people in the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement community wanted an excuse to weaponize the federal government against Donald Trump. They didn’t want him to be president, simple as that. It didn’t matter to them what voters wanted; they thought they knew better. So they felt any abuse of power was justified in preventing Trump from winning the White House.

That they failed is cold comfort because we know that failure didn’t deter these people. When the next election cycle came around, the same people, including Brennan, were back at it, using their power and influence to shape public perceptions of the campaign and push outright falsehoods on the American people. It was Brennan, after all, who worked with CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell to produce a letter signed by dozens of former intelligence officials in October 2020 denouncing the Hunter Biden laptop story as having, in Brennan’s words, “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” — another outlandish claim for which there was zero evidence.

We know, too, that corporate media are undeterred by these embarrassing episodes. Some of the outlets that did the most to push the Russia-collusion hoax were rewarded for their efforts with Pulitzer prizes and other accolades. None of them have recanted their fake stories, and nearly all of them reacted Monday to the Durham report by dismissing it as a “big fat nothing” or, in the words of CNN’s Nicolle Wallace, a “rabbit hole conspiracy” — without a hint of self-awareness that her own network was a chief purveyor of the very real Trump-Russia conspiracy. 

Beyond the shamelessness of the media and the corruption of government officials, the Durham report is a sobering reminder that we can’t sustain a self-governing republic under these conditions. When the law enforcement and intelligence agencies of the federal government can be used as a weapon to undermine an outsider candidate for high office, it means our republic is in grave danger.

It means, too, that it would be better if we had no FBI at all than the corrupt agency we have now, which sees fit to traffic in actual disinformation, spread conspiracy theories, and throttle the democratic process whenever a candidate comes along who threatens the status quo. That’s the real lesson of the Durham report, and we ignore it at our peril.

The US destroyed FBI dossiers on Lord Mountbatten at the request of the British Government after the discovery of a wartime file accusing the royal of being a paedophile, his biographer has claimed.

Writing for The Mail's new Royals section, Andrew Lownie expanded on his 2019 discovery of a Second World War-era file which contained the claim that the Earl was a 'homosexual with a lusting for young boys'. 

When he made a request to the FBI for other files the agency held on Mountbatten, he was told they had been destroyed 'after you asked for them'.

It was all just a big nothing burger...now people should realise that the dems stole the last election

DAVID MARCUS: The FBI's anti-Trump Keystone Cops… the CIA's 51 laptop-trashing stooges… the NYT's biased Pulitzer lapdogs: now we KNOW they're all in the Dems' pockets and - terrifyingly – it's derailing democracy

By David Marcus For Dailymail.Com

Published: 19:35 BST, 16 May 2023 | Updated: 21:01 BST, 16 May 2023

The deranged partisan hacks running America's once-respected institutions are completely, utterly, maybe irredeemably, shameless.

What other verdict can one reach after reading Special Counsel John Durham's report on the FBI investigation of President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign?

It should never – never in a thousand years – have been launched.

And the news media – the supposed independent servants of democracy, who demand that every Republican swear on their children that the 2020 vote was free, fair, and won by Biden – were more than happy to go along with it.

But now we know, the real election meddling was state sponsored.

The FBI 'failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law,' wrote Durham.

He found that the agency kicked off a full-fledged probe, at the height of an election, into a presidential campaign based on 'raw,' 'unevaluated,' and ultimately, dud information.

They ignored exculpatory evidence and were blinded by preconceived notions.

At best, they're the Keystone Cops. At worst, they're direct descendants of J. Edgar Hoover. It's damning.

America was told Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulous had secret connections to the Kremlin. He didn't.

The public was fed the ridiculous Steele dossier, a document about as authentic as a Rolex purchased from a briefcase, as if it was the Ten Commandments. It wasn't.

The hunter biden laptop story...

Elon Musk: Suppression of Hunter Biden Laptop Story Is ‘Election Interference’

Pam Key

Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Tuesday on CNBC’s “Last Call” that the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story was “election interference.”

Host David Faber said, “Let’s talk a bit about your tweets. It comes up a lot, even today, it came up. You know, in anticipation of this meeting. You do some tweets that seem to be, or at least give support to, what some call conspiracy theories.”

Musk said, “Well, yes, but I mean, honestly, you know, some of these conspiracy theories have turned out to be true.”
Faber said, “Which ones?”

Musk said, “Well, like the Hunter Biden laptop.”

Faber said, “That’s true.”

Musk said, “So, you know, that was a pretty big deal. There was Twitter, and others engaged in an act of suppression of information that was relevant to the public. That’s a terrible thing that happened. That’s election interference.”

Faber asked, “But, how do you make a choice in terms of when you’re going to engage? I mean, for example, even today, Elon, you tweeted this thing about George Soros.”

He added, “You said he wants to erode the very fabric of civilization and Soros hates humanity.”

Musk said, “Yeah, I think that’s true. That’s my opinion.”

Faber said, “Ok, but why share it? Why share it? Why share it when people who buy Teslas may not agree with you? Advertisers on Twitter may not agree with you?”

Musk responded, “Freedom of speech, I’m allowed to say what I want.”

Transgender reporter tries to defend Chelsea Clinton and  inadvertently proves she's pushing 'porn' for children in public schools

May 01, 2023

A far-left transgender reporter was mocked and ridiculed after she inadvertently proved critics of Chelsea Clinton right after she criticized restrictions on controversial LGBTQ books in public schools.

Clinton waded into the contentious debate over inappropriate books about gender and sexuality in libraries meant for children, and a reporter from Media Matters for America came to her rescue.

 

"Over 50% of the attempted book bans last year involved books with LGBTQ+ characters & themes. Books are a vital way that children, adolescents and adults learn about themselves and our world. Bans such as these are nothing but harmful," Clinton tweeted with an article about the book restrictions.

In the thumbnail of the image was prominently displayed a controversial book entitled, "Gender Queer," a book that has been targeted by those opposing inappropriate LGBTQ books for children.

The book is described in the NBC News article as a chronicle of "nonbinary author Maia Kobabe’s journey of self-identity," but it doesn't mention a very graphic scene of oral sex in the book, a graphic novel.

The article does quote Kobabe as saying that the book's message is "vital" and "lifesaving" for some children, even though Kobabe admits that some parts are not appropriate for grade school children.

 

When Clinton was called out by Seth Dillon of the Babylon Bee, the Media Matters LGBTQ director reflexively defended her.

"Chelsea Clinton has come out in favor of porn for kids," tweeted Dillon.

"Weird way to tell us you’re yanking it to children’s books, Seth," responded Ari Drennen.

Dillon then posted a page of the very graphic sexual imagery from the book that Chelsea Clinton was supporting, and Drennen called it out for what it was.

"Imagine how sick and depraved you have to be to call this a children's book," replied Dillon.

"Hey Seth I think you meant this for my DMs, you just sent me an unsolicited drawing of a blowjob," Drennen tweeted.

"So your position is that you’re sexually harassing another man and you think *that* will go over better with your audience? Stop sending me this stuff Seth, it’s creepy," Drennen said in another tweet.

In 2021, the book was targeted by critics after it was found at the library of the Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia. The author defended the book by citing ancient Greek poetry and pottery art.

The real russia collusion was with the clintons in the uranium deal:

FBI Leadership Sabotaged Clinton Foundation Investigations: Durham Report

by Tyler Durden
Thursday, May 18, 2023 - 09:58 AM

Remember the Clinton Foundation? Which, took millions in foreign donations when everyone thought Hillary Clinton was going to win the 2016 US election, only to see donations plummet by 90% after she lost?

Now we learn, thanks to the Durham report, that the FBI had three concurrent investigations into the Clinton Foundation, which were shut down during the 2016 election year by top brass.

As attorney and political commentator Techno Fog notes at The Reactionary (emphasis ours);

Durham’s scope included the FBI investigations “directed” at the Hillary Clinton campaign. It seems the purpose of that review was to assess and compare the favorable treatment received by Clinton to the targeting of Trump.

The first investigation involved an FBI tip from a CHS that a foreign government was sending a person “to contribute to Clinton’s anticipated presidential campaign, as a way to gain influence with Clinton should she win the presidency.” (Which country?!) An FBI field office sought a FISA against the foreign contributor and made that request to FBI headquarters, which ignored it for four months due to the fact that they were careful that Clinton was “involved.” According to one FBI Agent, “They were pretty ‘tippy-toeing’ around HRC because there was a chance she would be the next president.” The FISA was approved on the condition that the FBI give defensive briefings to Clinton.

The second Clinton investigation involved the same CHS, who in November 2015 reported to the FBI that another foreign government was looking to contribute to the Clinton campaign “in exchange for the protection of [that country’s] interests should Clinton become President.” That CHS would end up making a $2,700 donation to the Clinton campaign on behalf of a foreign insider, in violation of federal law which bans contributions by foreign nationals. The CHS told their handling FBI agent that “They [the campaign] were okay with it. […] yes they were fully aware from the start” of the contribution being made on behalf of the foreign interest.

Who was the FBI’s confidential human source that caught the Clinton campaign in illegal activity? Thanks to great work by the talented Fool Nelson showing a $2,700 contribution from Patrick Byrne, we have this admission from Byrne himself:

Yep. This is the $18 million bribe to Hillary. https://t.co/0a5i1Xea0G

— Patrick Byrne (@PatrickByrne) May 16, 2023

Somehow, the FBI did not obtain copies of the illegal payment and the CHS’s FBI handlers “could not explain why this apparent illegal contribution was not documented in FBI records.” Instead, the FBI handling agent “told the CHS to stay away from all events relating to Clinton’s campaign.” Later on, the CHS, who had essentially caught a member of the Clinton campaign facilitating illegal contributions, was admonished by the FBI:

“do NOT attend any more campaign events, set up meetings, or anything else relating to [Clinton’s] campaign. We need to keep you completely away from that situation. I don’t know all the details, but it’s for your own protection.”

Durham questioned how the FBI could reconcile giving defensive briefings to the Clinton campaign while denying defensive briefings to the Trump campaign. He compared the FBI and DOJ’s “measured approach” to the Clinton campaign investigation to the speed at which the FBI ran with Crossfire Hurricane. He also contrasted how the FBI made almost “no effort to investigate the possible illegal campaign contribution” to the Clinton campaign “or the Clinton campaign’s purported acceptance of a campaign contribution made by the FBI’s own long-term” source.

The other Clinton investigation Durham reviewed – the investigation into “possible criminal activity involving the Clinton Foundation” – demonstrated, yet again, favorable treatment received by Clinton from FBI leadership. According to Durham, the Clinton Foundation case opening communication:

referred to an intelligence product and corroborating financial reporting that a particular commercial “industry likely engaged a federal public official in a flow of benefits scheme, namely, large monetary contributions were made to a non-profit, under both direct and indirect control of the federal public official, in exchange for favorable government action and/or influence.”

Additionally, the FBI Little Rock and New York Field Offices investigations “included predication based on source reporting that identified foreign governments that had made, or offered to make, contributions to the Foundation in exchange for favorable or preferential treatment from Clinton.”

Despite this evidence, DOJ and FBI leadership essentially sabotaged the Clinton Foundation investigation. The DOJ was “hostile” to the Clinton Foundation presentations from the FBI Field Offices. And at a February 2016 FBI meeting to discuss the Clinton Foundation investigations, Assistant Director Andre McCabe ordered the cases to be closed. He would reconsider that demand following objections. However, any overt investigative steps needed McCabe’s approval. In May 2016, FBI Director Comey would, through an intermediary, demand the New York Field Office “cease and desist” their Clinton Foundation investigation. And in August 2016, as the presidential election approached, the US Attorneys’ offices in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York declined to issue subpoenas to the FBI New York Field Office in support of their Clinton Foundation investigation.

We highly recommend subscribing and reading the entirety of Techno Fog's report, which goes far deeper into Durham's bombshell findings, including; The DNC hack, Crossfire Hurricane, spying on President-Elect Trump, Clinton's plan to smear Trump, and other prosecutorial decisions.

Recall that McCabe's wife accepted nearly $700,000 from Clinton ally, then-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), to support her run for a state legislative seat.

Meanwhile, a guy who made a meme tricking people into voting for Clinton from home is facing 10 years in prison, while those guilty of actual election interference are not.

Excellent point. Douglas Mackey is going to jail because he sent a meme. The people who attempted to destroy a presidential campaign and, when that failed, attempted a coup against a duly elected president, aren't going to jail. https://t.co/zSq2zsTrCd

Lastly, click into this thread from RealClear's Benjamin Weingarten, who has dissected more of the Durham report for public consumption.

But maybe the most important and telling takeaway from Durham is that in spite of the obvious hyper-politicization, weaponization, and corruption his report identifies, he and his team -- products of these institutions -- don't call for heads to roll, radical change.

The Great Replacement

 

The 'great replacement' is the conspiracy to flood migrants into the west whilst pushing anything that causes birthrates in the west to decline so that the native or existing western populations will be replaced. This involves both a genocide and an ethnocide of western culture (see for example cultural marxism).  Genocide is illegal under international law.

MP: Plummeting Birth Rates Are Biggest Threat to Western Society

by Paul Joseph Watson

Plummeting birth rates represent the biggest threat to western society as native populations fall below replacement rate levels, according to Conservative MP Miriam Cates.

Cates made the comments during the National Conservatism Conference in London.

The MP made the argument that the greatest challenge facing the west was not climate change, cultural Marxism or Russian and China, but the “failure to deliver” babies.

“None of our philosophical musings or policy proposals will amount to anything long-lasting unless we address the one overarching threat to British conservatism, and indeed to the whole of Western society. No it’s not climate change, it’s not Russia or China or Iran, it’s not the Neo-Marxist ideology that has so weakened our institutions, it’s not inflation, or taxation, or poor productivity. There is one critical outcome that liberal individualism has completely failed to deliver and that is babies,” Cates told the crowd.

None of our philosophical musings or policy proposals will amount to anything unless we address one overarching threat.

It's not neo-Marxism, inflation, or taxation. It's one critical outcome that liberal individualism has failed to deliver: babies.

-MP Miriam Cates #NatConUK pic.twitter.com/nUN22e4z6o

— National Conservatism (@NatConTalk) May 15, 2023

 

 

Cates warned that the future is being determined by the forces of cultural Marxism, which is “systematically destroying our children’s souls.”

She also accurately described how young people are being taught to be self-loathing, both towards humanity and their own country, a toxic hatred that is causing mass depression and nihilism.

“When culture, schools and universities openly teach that our country is racist, our heroes are villains, humanity is killing the Earth, you are what you desire, diversity is theology, boundaries are tyranny and self-restraint is oppression, is it any wonder that mental health conditions, self-harm and suicide, and epidemic levels of anxiety and confusion characterise the emerging generation?” Cates asked.

The MP also explained how young people were being pressured to pursue higher education, which saddles them with debt and works as a roadblock to starting families and buying homes.

“Spending so much time and money on education also makes it much more difficult, particularly for women, to decide when is a good time to pause and have children,” said Cates.

Popular culture relentlessly promotes the so-called virtues of childless relationships and women embarking on long careers at the expense of starting families.

Cates made the comments as Britain’s population continues to grow almost entirely as a result of mass immigration and the descendents of migrants having more children than the native population.

Dr Paul Morland warns that white British children are likely to become a minority in primary schools by the year 2060.

“In terms of the speed of the decline, there was work done by demographers at Oxford and other work more recently that looks at 2060, where we’ll have perhaps 50-60 per cent of people defining themselves as white British,” said Morland.

“But of course at that point, if you look at the primary school or the school age folk or the people in the large cities, it would be a minority and a declining minority,” he added.

As we highlighted yesterday, having once imposed a draconian one child policy, the Chinese government is now launching a nationwide program to encourage its citizens to get married and have babies.

China Family Planning Association vice president Yao Ying said the policy is “expected to take innovative and proactive measures to help foster childbearing-friendly atmospheres and contribute to advancing Chinese modernization with the support from the high-quality development of the population.”

The Durham Report Leaves No Doubt: The FBI Is A Mortal Threat To Democracy

Posted by John Whitehead Posted on 23 May 2023

Rein in the FBI: Put an End to the FBI’s Gestapo Tactics

One of the creeping hands of totalitarianism running through the democracy is the Federal Bureau of Investigation… Because why does the FBI do all this? To scare the hell out of people… They work for the establishment and the corporations and the politicos to keep things as they are. And they want to frighten and chill the people who are trying to change things.”—Howard Zinn, historian

Power corrupts. We know this.

In fact, we know this from experience learned the hard way at the hands of our own government.

So why is anyone surprised to learn that the FBI, one of the most power-hungry and corrupt agencies within the police state’s vast complex of power-hungry and corrupt agencies, misused a massive government surveillance database more than 300,000 times in order to target American citizens?

This is how the government operates, after all.

First, they seek out extraordinary powers acquired in the wake of some national crisis—in this case, warrantless surveillance powers intended to help the government spy on foreign targets suspected of engaging in terrorism—and then they use those powers against the American people.

According to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the FBI repeatedly misused Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in order to spy on the communications of two vastly disparate groups of Americans: those involved in the George Floyd protests and those who may have taken part in the Jan. 6, 2021, protests at the Capitol.

This is par for the course for the FBI, whose modus operandi has historically been to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” perceived threats to the government’s power.

Indeed, the FBI has a long history of persecuting, prosecuting and generally harassing activists, politicians, and cultural figures.

Back in the 1950s and ‘60s, the FBI’s targets were civil rights activists, those suspected of having Communist ties, and anti-war activists. In more recent decades, the FBI has expanded its reach to target so-called domestic extremists, environmental activists, and those who oppose the police state.

In 2019, President Trump promised to give the FBI “whatever they need” to investigate and disrupt hate crimes and domestic terrorism, without any apparent thought for the Constitution’s prohibitions on such overreach.

That misguided pledge sheds a curious light on the FBI’s ongoing spree of SWAT team raids, surveillance, disinformation campaigns, fear-mongering, paranoia, and strong-arm tactics meted out to dissidents on both the right and the left.

Yet while these overreaching, heavy-handed lessons in how to rule by force have become standard operating procedure for a government that communicates with its citizenry primarily through the language of brutality, intimidation and fear, none of this is new.

Indeed, the FBI’s love affair with totalitarianism can be traced back to the Nazi police state.

As historian Robert Gellately recounts, the Nazi police state was so admired for its efficiency and order by the world powers of the day that in the decades after World War II, the FBI, along with other government agencies, aggressively recruited at least a thousand Nazis, including some of Hitler’s highest henchmen.

Since then, U.S. government agencies—the FBI, CIA and the military—have fully embraced many of the Nazi’s well-honed policing tactics, and used them repeatedly against American citizens.

With every passing day, the United States government borrows yet another leaf from Nazi Germany’s playbook: Secret police. Secret courts. Secret government agencies. Surveillance. Censorship. Intimidation. Harassment. Torture. Brutality. Widespread corruption. Entrapment. Indoctrination. Indefinite detention.

These are not tactics used by constitutional republics, where the rule of law and the rights of the citizenry reign supreme. Rather, they are the hallmarks of authoritarian regimes, where secret police control the populace through intimidation, fear and official lawlessness on the part of government agents.

Consider the extent to which the FBI’s far-reaching powers to surveil, detain, interrogate, investigate, prosecute, punish, police and generally act as a law unto themselves resemble those of their Nazi cousins, the Gestapo.

Just like the Gestapo, the FBI has vast resources, vast investigatory powers, and vast discretion to determine who is an enemy of the state.

Much like the Gestapo spied on mail and phone calls, FBI agents have carte blanche access to the citizenry’s most personal information.

Much like the Gestapo’s sophisticated surveillance programs, the FBI’s spying capabilities can delve into Americans’ most intimate details (and allow local police to do so, as well).

Much like the Gestapo’s ability to profile based on race and religion, and its assumption of guilt by association, the FBI’s approach to pre-crime allows it to profile Americans based on a broad range of characteristics including race and religion.

Much like the Gestapo’s power to render anyone an enemy of the state, the FBI has the power to label anyone a domestic terrorist.

Much like the Gestapo infiltrated communities in order to spy on the German citizenry, the FBI routinely infiltrates political and religious groups, as well as businesses.

Just as the Gestapo united and militarized Germany’s police forces into a national police force, America’s police forces have largely been federalized and turned into a national police force.

Just as the Gestapo carried out entrapment operations, the FBI has become a master in the art of entrapment.

Just as the Gestapo’s secret files on political leaders were used to intimidate and coerce, the FBI’s attempts to target and spy on anyone suspected of “anti-government” sentiment have been similarly abused.

The Gestapo became the terror of the Third Reich by creating a sophisticated surveillance and law enforcement system that relied for its success on the cooperation of the military, the police, the intelligence community, neighborhood watchdogs, government workers for the post office and railroads, ordinary civil servants, and a nation of snitches inclined to report “rumors, deviant behavior, or even just loose talk.”

Likewise, as countless documents make clear, the FBI has had no qualms about using its extensive powers in order to blackmail politicians, spy on celebrities and high-ranking government officials, and intimidate and attempt to discredit dissidents of all stripes.

In fact, borrowing heavily from the Gestapo, between 1956 and 1971, the FBI conducted an intensive domestic intelligence program, termed COINTELPRO, intended to neutralize domestic political dissidents. As Congressman Steve Cohen explains, “COINTELPRO was set up to surveil and disrupt groups and movements that the FBI found threatening… many groups, including anti-war, student, and environmental activists, and the New Left were harassed, infiltrated, falsely accused of criminal activity          .”

Sound familiar? The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Those targeted by the FBI under COINTELPRO for its intimidation, surveillance and smear campaigns included: Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X, the Black Panther Party, Billie Holiday, Emma Goldman, Aretha Franklin, Charlie Chaplin, Ernest Hemingway, Felix Frankfurter, John Lennon, and hundreds more.

The Church Committee, the Senate task force charged with investigating COINTELPRO abuses in 1975, denounced the government’s abuses:

“Too many people have been spied upon by too many Government agencies and too much information has been collected. The Government has often undertaken the secret surveillance of citizens on the basis of their political beliefs, even when those beliefs posed no threat of violence or illegal acts on behalf of a hostile foreign power.”

The report continued:

“Groups and individuals have been harassed and disrupted because of their political views and their lifestyles. Investigations have been based upon vague standards whose breadth made excessive collection inevitable. Unsavory and vicious tactics have been employed—including anonymous attempts to break up marriages, disrupt meetings, ostracize persons from their professions, and provoke target groups into rivalries that might result in deaths. Intelligence agencies have served the political and personal objectives of presidents and other high officials.”

Whether 50 years ago or in the present day, the treatment being doled out by the government’s lethal enforcers has remained consistent, no matter the threat.

The FBI’s laundry list of crimes against the American people includes surveillance, disinformation, blackmail, entrapment, intimidation tactics, harassment and indoctrination, governmental overreach, abuse, misconduct, trespassing, enabling criminal activity, and damaging private property, and that’s just based on what we know.

Whether the FBI is planting undercover agents in churches, synagogues and mosques; issuing fake emergency letters to gain access to Americans’ phone records; using intimidation tactics to silence Americans who are critical of the government; recruiting high school students to spy on and report fellow students who show signs of being future terrorists; or persuading impressionable individuals to plot acts of terror and then entrapping them, the overall impression of the nation’s secret police force is that of a well-dressed thug, flexing its muscles and doing the boss’ dirty work of ensuring compliance, keeping tabs on potential dissidents, and punishing those who dare to challenge the status quo.

As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, it’s time to rein in the Federal Bureau of Intimidation’s war on political freedom.
