Why Tyrants are Always Losers in the End

Here’s the problem with tyrants: They take away the self-interest of their victims.

The more their victims give in to their control, the less they have to lose.

The more successful the tyrants are at victimizing them, the less incentive their victims have to do anything.

Tyrants want something from their victims. They want good will, free labor, a sense of power, or SOMETHING. The more you beat down your slave, the less your slave will have to offer.

The smug tyrants taking over America now will be no different. They’re starting at a stronger point because their victims have more to offer. We have been a largely prosperous and free country for many, many generations. Taking over such people isn’t really a challenge, not once you get them afraid. But once the tyranny sets in, they will produce less and less. They will have less and less to offer.

If nothing else, it will be amusing to watch. The same tyrants who pay millions of people to stay home and get college for free are going to create wards of the state with no incentive, no sense of purpose, no innovation, no brainpower — nothing. They will create a mass of mushy snowflakes with dough for brains and cotton candy for character. That friend of yours whose 25-year-old or 35-year-old child still lives in his or her childhood bedroom? That will soon be the norm, in the society now being created by tyrants.

Smug and sure of themselves as today’s totalitarians seem to be, they will reach the end of their road with people who have nothing left to lose. Today’s American Communists and tyrants will reach the same dead end that all tyrants have reached. And there won’t be a free country somewhere else on the planet to bail them out. Not this time.

Eric Margolis: This is Not the Worst Case Scenario in Afghanistan

Posted on by

Eric Margolis talks with Scott about the situation in Afghanistan as American forces continue to withdraw. Of course, the last few days have seen nonstop headlines proclaiming an utter disaster in the country, many of them excoriating President Biden for having screwed things up so badly. But Scott and Margolis remind us just how much worse things could be. Margolis points out that for one thing, some Afghan government officials seem to have been quietly preparing for a transfer of power far in advance, such that when U.S. forces pulled out, they were prepared to more or less let the Taliban take over. You don’t have to be a fan of the Taliban to realize that this relatively peaceful transfer of power is far better than the alternative: months of bloody and destructive fighting followed by victory for the Taliban anyway. Even in areas like women’s rights, Margolis explains that the current generation of Taliban leadership isn’t as harsh as their fathers and grandfathers—Taliban spokesmen have been quick to reassure the West that they want women to play a bigger role in society. The last thing Americans should do is let war hawks use the chaos in Afghanistan as an excuse for us to go back into the country and stay forever.

Mass Civil Disobedience: The Only Answer

Posted on by

Without mass civil disobedience, we will not make it out of this mess.

As Senator Rand Paul said recently, “They can’t arrest us all.” They can’t. If enough people stop complying with unconstitutional mandates and directives, it will send the government into chaos. It’s what they fear most: losing control. Control and power are all the people in power care about. Yes, they care about money, too. But without power, they don’t get any money. People in politics and government don’t make their money through voluntary persuasion, as legitimate businesses (small and large) do. Nancy Pelosi didn’t become a billionaire through creating a product or service that millions wish to buy. She became a billionaire through coercion, deceit and manipulation — decades of it, assisted by a dishonest, fawning media as well as many ignorant voters. Ditto for Joe Biden, and all the other politicians who became millionaires and billionaires.

Civil disobedience is the Kyrptonite of politicians. When they see us wearing masks, staying inside, getting vaccinated because they say so — regardless of our concerns, or the concerns of our doctors, including our mental health professionals — then they are happy. They know that if they can get the vast majority to do all these things, they can probably get the vast majority to do anything. This makes them happy; and their happiness is their sickness. They know if the vast majority do their bidding — some of them resentfully — then they can get the vast majority to intimidate and threaten those who will not (yet) comply. Everything now unfolding with vaccinations and vaccination passports demonstrates the polar opposite of civil disobedience — and everything is now unfolding precisely as evil, powerful people desire it.

It’s not about masks or a mostly survivable virus. It’s not about health or safety. It’s about the “safety” of the powerful to maintain/expand their control and, where relevant, their money flow. That’s all it is, and all it ever will be. It’s human nature at its absolute worse. It’s human nature just a couple of rungs above the actions of a Nazi Germany. We’re almost there. I believe today’s power mongers have the potential to be much worse than Hitler, inconceivable as that is. Just watch. People in power can go wherever they want with the unqualified and unconditional support of the vast majority of the people behind them. Unthinking or fearful people are all they need.

So far, they have ZERO losses in their column. Nothing, absolutely nothing, stands in their way. Other than mass civil disobedience, which has yet to happen.

What do we have to do? In mass numbers, we have to stop complying with the idiotic, the insane, the unsustainable and the brazenly, openly unconstitutional. Stop complying. It’s as simple as that. If you’re afraid of being put in jail, just remember that they can’t put all of us in jail. Break down the system. Make it all come to a screeching halt — not through fire and violence; but through simply refusing to participate in it, under these conditions.

If you’re too afraid to take those steps, now or ever, then you’re going to have to accept the consequences. Those consequences are unfolding very rapidly, almost daily, right before our eyes. Those consequences will become much worse than anything you ever feared about disobedience. And just think: You can tell your children and grandchildren that YOU are the generation who lost our freedom, when they ask, “What’s all the ‘freedom’ I hear about prior to 2020?”

Civil disobedience will not be enough. There is no one single thing that will fix this mess. In many respects, it’s too late. It’s too late to avoid a disaster because, if we’re honest about it, the disaster is unfolding. Joe Biden is not the cause of a disaster; he’s the result and consequence of a disaster that already happened, and that’s getting worse by the day. Kamala Harris and all that’s to follow will be even worse.

But we can minimize the impact and at least try to reverse course. We can experience, in authentic solidarity with fellow freedom-loving citizens (millions of them), the satisfaction that emerges from simply not complying, and from doing so in numbers of tens of millions.

You can make the tyrants crazy. They’re already evil, and that will never change. But let’s make them suffer. Let’s torture them, by refusing to comply.

You’re not helpless, so long as you remember that.

Iran is the World’s Greatest Executioner

Posted on by
Reply

As the leading executioner per capita in the world, it is perhaps appropriate that a notorious killer, known as ‘The Butcher of Tehran,’ has ascended to the presidency. Following his rigged election, Ebrahim Raisi was inaugurated as president on August 5th. Listed as an international terrorist in the USA, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have called for his indictment for violations of human rights and crimes against humanity. He has boasted of his role as a member of the ‘Death Commission’ appointed by the then Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini in 1988, which oversaw the massacre of more than 30,000 political prisoners, mostly supporters of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI-MEK) opposition movement. For his work as a ruthless executioner, Raisi was promoted to the position of Tehran Prosecutor in 1989, where he earned his ‘butcher’ sobriquet. He held that position for five years. In 2012 he became Deputy Head of the Judiciary. Raisi became head of Iran’s Judiciary in March 2019. Since then, he has directed the execution of 281 people in 2019, and 251 people in 2020, and 220 executions in the first eight months of 2021, including 23 in the first two weeks of August alone, according to the NCRI.

Three prisoners were hanged on the eve of Raisi’s inauguration, bringing to at least 22, the number of prisoners executed since July 23. From June 19, when the fake elections installed Raisi as the regime’s new president, and Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei replaced him as the new Judiciary Chief, at least 62 prisoners have been executed. The intensification of executions, particularly of political prisoners and opponents of the theocratic regime, is a favorite tool of repression used by the mullahs to frighten the population into submission. But ongoing mass uprisings in Khuzestan Province, where water shortages have caused a crisis and protesters have been gunned down by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the regime’s Gestapo, have sparked huge street demonstrations in towns and cities across Iran, in solidarity with their Khuzestan cousins. Clearly the people have lost their fear of this repressive regime and are determined to see it overthrown.

It was an utter disgrace that some Western nations sent senior representatives to Tehran to attend Raisi’s inauguration. The mullahs trumpeted that the ceremony was attended by 10 presidents, 20 speakers of parliament, 11 foreign ministers, 10 other ministers, envoys of presidents, vice presidents and parliamentary delegations. The heads and officials of 11 international and regional organizations also attended, as did the representative of the UN Secretary-General, the President of OPEC and officials from the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the European Union, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States, the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) and the D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation. Such a cringing act of appeasement to a regime that continues to finance proxy wars across the Middle East, sponsors terrorism internationally and has become a pariah state, is simply unacceptable.

The ceremony took place less than a week after a British and a Romanian national were killed in an Iranian drone strike on an Israel-operated oil tanker in the Arabian sea. In February this year, Assadollah Assadi, an accredited Iranian diplomat, was sentenced to 20 years jail in a Belgian court, after he was caught red-handed in a terrorist bomb plot. Assadi flew to Vienna from Tehran in a commercial airliner, with a fully primed bomb in his diplomatic pouch. He and his co-conspirators had planned to kill leading European and international political figures at an Iranian opposition rally in Paris. His murderous plot must have been condoned by the clerical regime’s leadership. Assadi’s jailing followed the expulsion of the Iranian Ambassador and First Secretary from Albania, for plotting to bomb an MEK gathering.

Repeated intelligence briefings have exposed how the mullahs have accelerated their race to build a nuclear weapon, enriching uranium to 60 percent purity, a hair’s breadth away from weapons grade, while building ballistic missiles capable of reaching Tel Aviv. The theocratic regime’s estimated $16 billion support for Bashar al-Assad’s bloody civil war in Syria, their provision of money and arms to the Houthi rebels in Yemen, their sponsorship of the brutal Shi’ia militias in Iraq, the terrorist Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, should all have provided Western nations with pause for thought before accepting invitations to attend Raisi’s inauguration. But after each Iranian outrage there is an ominous silence from the West. The EU made no comment following the jailing of the Iranian diplomat and when criticized for failing to condemn a state-sponsored plot to kill and maim European citizens, lamely replied that they could not comment on the court proceedings of individual EU Member States. Such kow-towing acquiescence has simply emboldened the mullahs to further aggression abroad and repression at home.

It is surely unthinkable that the West should waste any further energy on trying to resurrect the defunct Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal? Talks in Vienna have stalled at Iran’s insistence that all sanctions imposed by former president Donald Trump under his ‘maximum pressure’ campaign must be lifted before any negotiations can take place. The deal was a failure from the outset and never stopped the mullahs’ efforts to build a nuclear bomb. Lifting sanctions would simply re-energize the corrupt regime, re-invigorating their sponsorship of proxy wars and international terrorism.

With protesters chanting “Death to the Dictator” and “Mullahs must get lost,” the time has come for appeasement to end and for Western nations to demand the indictment and prosecution of Ebrahim Raisi and the other mass murderers who have ruled Iran for the past four decades. Turning a blind eye to the brutal suppression and escalating death toll in Iran simply provides impunity to this criminal regime, encouraging them to slaughter more people.

Pink Floyd Reminds Us of Why We Should Defund Government Schools

Lyrics from Pink Floyd’s song seem to be talking about Critical Race Theory, i.e., what passes for “education” in today’s thought control mills, government-run schools:

We don’t need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.

We don’t need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!

All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.

Joe Must Go

Posted on by

After more than seven months of the worst presidency in American history, Joe Biden must leave the White House. He has been a complete and total disaster.

Almost every Trump voter understood that Biden would be an unmitigated failure as president. His 50-year career as a politician clearly showed that he was an admitted plagiarist and a serial liar who was wrong on almost every foreign and domestic issue.

He limped into the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination due to the worry that his major opponent, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). was too much of a socialist. Ironically, Biden is now pursuing a socialist agenda that is very pleasing to Sanders.

In the presidential race, he was “elected” in a very disputed race against President Donald Trump due to a variety of factors. Most importantly, Democratic governors used the excuse of the pandemic to allow for massive and unverified “mail-in” voting that totally changed the dynamic of the election.

Upon taking office, Biden unleashed a torrent of executive orders and policy decisions that were designed to undo everything President Trump had accomplished. As president, Biden has appointed a radical cabinet of progressives to implement his socialist agenda.

As president, Biden has been wrong on every major decision. When he stopped construction of the border wall and the Keystone XL pipeline, Biden listened to his party’s left-wing instead of exhibiting common sense.

Thus, our border is wide open, and over two million illegal aliens are projected to arrive in our country, many sick with COVID, this year. Our country is once again begging OPEC for more production because we are no longer energy independent. Our cities are in crisis as crime has skyrocketed and inflation is on the rampage as prices for gasoline and other essential commodities have increased dramatically.

Despite all of these horrific mistakes, nothing compares to Biden’s catastrophic handling of the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. This is clearly his biggest disaster for Biden has now given our enemy, the Taliban, a tremendous victory, and provided Islamic terrorists an American defeat to use as a jihadist recruitment tool.

In the last few weeks, the United States has looked both weak and foolish in granting the Taliban control of our airport, our embassy, and our massive cache of weapons. Most importantly, this enemy now controls the fate of thousands of innocent American citizens.

In 1979, our country was traumatized because Islamic extremists held 52 Americans hostage at our embassy in Tehran. The crisis only ended when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as president and the terrorists in Iran were unwilling to test his mettle. If they had provoked Reagan, it would not have ended well for them, so they released our hostages.

In Afghanistan, the Taliban is holding thousands of our citizens hostage because they are not allowing them access to the airport to leave the country. When Trump dealt with the Taliban, they understood he was a tough president who meant business. This is why none of our troops were killed in the last 18 months of the Afghanistan conflict.

It was their fear of what President Trump may do that motivated their cooperation. They knew that Trump had rebuilt our military, had ordered the death of the world’s top two terrorists, and had destroyed the ISIS “caliphate” in Syria.

Their plan was to wait for Biden to become president and then act. Amazingly, Biden announced the withdrawal date from Afghanistan and then removed our troops before securing the escape of thousands of American citizens.

For the past few days, Biden has lied about the situation in Afghanistan in his press appearances. Contrary to Biden’s statement, it has not been possible for thousands of Americans to reach the Kabul Airport. In fact, a U.S. warning was issued for Americans to stay away from the airport because of safety concerns.

While Biden claimed Al-Qaeda had not returned to Afghanistan, spokesmen from his administration contradicted his assurances. Both Al-Qaeda and ISIS are surely back in Afghanistan and will certainly establish new terrorist training camps in the country because they know they will have the support of the Taliban.

Sadly, America is back to where we were in 2001, except that we have lost over 5,000 military heroes and contractors fighting in Afghanistan. In addition, the American taxpayers have paid over $2 trillion for this futile exercise in nation building.

The latest reports indicate the Taliban have seized a tremendous amount of our military equipment, including 200 aircraft, 600,000 weapons and 75,000 vehicles, along with 11 former U.S. military bases. Not only do Taliban terrorists control our military assets, but they also control the fate of thousands of American citizens and our Afghan allies.

Biden created this calamity and must be removed from office. Unfortunately, there are only a few options to allow for this result. He can resign, which is doubtful. He can also be impeached and convicted, and that is also unlikely because corrupt Democrats currently control the U.S. Congress.

The most likely option is to utilize the 25th Amendment. In this case, his removal can be triggered by an official declaration to congressional leaders from the vice president and a majority of his cabinet that the president is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

If Biden hangs on until the mid-term election and the Republicans take back control of the Congress, impeachment hearings can be commenced. Unlike President Trump, Biden deserves to be impeached and removed.

Coupled with his policy disasters that have destroyed border security, created chaos in our cities, threatened our economy with renewed inflation and energy dependence and endangered our national security with the Afghan withdrawal debacle, Biden is mentally compromised and unfit to uphold the duties of the presidency.

He is suffering from a serious mental decline that is obvious to anyone who watches his speeches or interviews. To make matters worse, his condition is deteriorating.

Joe Biden must go; the survival of our country depends on it.

Biden Voters—Are You Tired of Losing Yet ?

Posted on by

Hey Joe Biden voters, are you happy now?

Your boy Dementia Joe owns it all now — the catastrophe in Kabul, open borders, rampant inflation, skyrocketing urban crime, the destruction of American energy independence, endless nonsensical lockdowns over a mild virus that is killing almost no one, not to mention so many public misstatements by the doddering old clown that his own cabinet secretaries have to correct his insane lies even before he shuffles off to Marine One for the flight back to his weekend assisted-living facility in Delaware.

But no more mean tweets, right? And that’s all that matters, isn’t it?

Orange Man Bad used to ask, “Are you tired of winning yet?”

Dementia Joe, if he could still speak in coherent sentences, might sputter, “Are you tired of losing yet?”

After he was installed as president, Dementia Joe’s caregivers said of their Deep State foreign policy: America is Back. Surely they meant to say, “America is on its Back.”

Or maybe, America is Back on its Back, because this is a greater calamity than Barack Obama leading from behind — way behind. This is Jimmy Carter’s presidency on steroids, only worse, because at least Carter was trying, however ineptly, to do the right thing.

Dementia Joe, not so much.

Thanks, Joe Biden voters, for not being able to realize what Osama bin Laden did back in 2010, in a letter that was found in his personal effects after he was killed by the U.S. military (a raid Dementia Joe naturally opposed, because it was so obviously the right thing to do.)

Speculating about the prospect of a President Biden, bin Laden wrote:

“Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the US into a crisis.”

A terrorist knew it, 74 million Trump supporters knew it, but all those Biden voters (however many there actually were) apparently had no clue.

Or perhaps all of you Biden bumkissers were just bedazzled by his flowery oratory, his proposals for an American Rescue “Pan,” the centerpiece of his dream to “Build Back Pletter.” Biden voters, you believed every preposterous canard the alt-left media spoon-fed you — the Russian collusion hoax, the Ukrainian phone call, the Russian bounties on U.S. troops, Trump allegedly saying the military dead were “losers,” that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation,” that Jan. 6 was an “insurrection” and that a Capitol Police officer was murdered etc., etc.

But you didn’t care, did you, Biden voters? All you cared about was free stuff, handouts without end, because, you know, the virus.

Biden supporters are by definition low-information voters, because if they were paying attention, they’d be as concerned about the rapid unraveling of this society as those of us who work for a living and are not on the dole — i.e., aren’t Democrats.

Of course Biden’s cheerleaders in the media are handling the non-working classes the same way farmers do mushrooms — keeping them in the dark and feeding them excrement.

Last week, Dementia Joe sat down for a kid-gloves interview with Democrat operative George Stephanopoulos. The video was damning enough — Biden came across like a cross between Grandpa Simpson and Norm Crosby. But the transcript was even more damning.

This is what ABC “News” left on the cutting-room floor, and refuses to release the video of.

Steffie quotes an Army vet saying, “I just wish we could’ve left with honor.”

To which Joe responded, according to the official ABC transcript:

“Look, that’s like askin’ my deceased son Beau, who spent six months in Kosovo and a year in Iraq as a Navy captain and then major — I mean, as an Army major. And you know, I’m sure h-he had regrets comin’ out of Afghanista — I mean, out of Iraq.”

So he forgot the branch of the military service his beloved son Beau served in, his rank and the foreign country in which he was stationed. And this in a slobbering interview with an obsequious Democrat partisan.

Friday it was more of the same. Only “reporters” from the fakest of Fake News outlets — PBS, NPR, ABC “News” — were afforded an opportunity to fawn and pose him questions on bended knee.

And yet Dementia Joe still didn’t know his rear end from a hole in the ground.

On one issue after another — foreign opprobrium over our abject surrender, American citizens’ access to the Kabul airport, the presence of al-Qaeda — Biden either didn’t know what he was talking about, or he was lying, or both.

When Tucker Carlson nightly plays this video of a hopelessly addled old fool on Fox News, he always mentions at the end how sorry he feels for this feeble, ruined, corrupt shell of a human being.

I don’t feel sorry for Biden at all. I feel sorry for me — and for you, and for all of us who understood before his selection just how demented he was, and is.

Are you happy now, Biden voters?

Why Civilization is Failing

Posted on by
1

In a way, the greatest threat to civilization isn’t leftism, although leftism and Communism/fascism are the means of our present destruction. The greatest threat to civilization and freedom is lack of independent thinking.

If independent, rational thinking were more commonplace, leftism wouldn’t stand a chance. Nor would any form of irrational, self-contradictory, life-suffocating group-think.

I have known for decades that independent, rational thinking is a problem in our culture. I had no idea how widespread and deep this problem went, until the years 2020 and 2021. We don’t have a self-esteem crisis on our hands; it’s more like a self-esteem catastrophe. The great majority of us, even in America of all places, appear to be putty in the hands of the most inept, morally corrupt and intellectually decrepit rulers ever to present themselves in human history.

Independent thinking could have prevented 80 percent of this, and by mid-2021 we would have been well beyond the worst of it. Unfortunately, independent thinking is in amazingly short supply — and I say “amazingly” because we live in the age of information, where the vast majority have more information at their fingertips (even with free speech waning) than human beings have ever enjoyed in all of history.

An independent thinker is the type of person who does NOT do the following: Look at what everyone else seems to be doing, saying or thinking; and then doing, thinking or saying it.

An independent thinker looks at what’s true. He assumes there’s truth, and he takes responsibility for trying to figure it out. An independent thinker puts facts at the forefront, and always does his own thinking. Even when he defers to an expert, he THINKS about what makes that person an expert, and why that person deserves trust. He never depends solely on experts. He views experts (if worthy of the title) as means to the end of his own thinking.

An independent thinker does NOT look at the “expert” that “everyone else” seems to view as an expert, and then take it from there. An independent thinker makes assessments of who deserves to be considered an expert, and why. “Consider the source” is a statement you don’t hear much of these days, although it’s a profoundly wise one.

To most people, being an independent thinker sounds like too much work. It seems easier, and even more rational, and efficient, to look at others and say, “Well, this seems to be good enough for most people. So why not for me?”

However, when a dependent thinker does this, he’s relying on thousands or millions of people who are doing the exact same thing as he’s doing. “Everyone else wears a mask. Everyone else gets an experimental vaccine drug. Everyone else [fill-in-the-blank-here]. So I will too.” Or: “Nobody else seems to object to huge tax rates. Nobody else seems to object to vaccine passports. Nobody else seems to object to the rounding up of people and taking them away to government reeducation camps. So it can’t be THAT bad.”

The problem is that “everyone else” is ALSO thinking, “Well, everyone else is doing it. Everyone else seems to think it’s OK.” If “everyone else” is the standard, then what kind of standard do you have?

You’ve heard the phrase: the blind leading the blind. That’s literally how you get Nazi Germany. Or the anti-scientific, religiously enslaved Middle Ages (or Iran and Afghanistan today). Or the Western World today, where seven-year-olds are wearing masks at school, permanently into the future, and where they learn at those schools (as most of their parents did) how NOT to think independently.

It’s heartbreaking to experience, witness and endure the collapse of a once great civilization.

But to me, at least, it’s so easy to understand why it’s all happening. And why it’s so utterly, and tragically, unnecessary.

Why are we Being Deceived about COVID ?

Posted on by
Reply

Why have US corporations involved themselves in public health policy? Why have they taken a position that is totally contradicted by all facts and all known evidence?

It is not only democratic governments that have turned totalitarian but also private corporations who are asserting authority to override the Nuremberg Laws and mandate that employees be vaccinated with the Covid Vaccine. A vaccination is a medical procedure and requires informed consent.

It is very strange to find corporations recruited to serve a coerced marketing campaign. We hear about the “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” But there is no such pandemic. All evidence shows that the majority of new cases are among the double inoculated.

Public officials and the presstitutes are implying that it is those who refuse the vaccine who are responsible for the new outbreak when to the contrary it is the vaccinated people who are the cause of the variants and new illnesses. As Dr. Malone, the inventor of the mRNA technology used to create the vaccine, has patiently explained, the vaccine trains the virus to produce variants that escape vaccines. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2021/08/16/all-of-the-evidence-is-in-the-covid-vaccine-is-a-failure/

Considering the enormous number of deaths and injuries associated with the vaccine, we are faced with the conclusion that the vaccine gives those vaccinated Covid illnesses. Some have severe symptoms, some die, others don’t know they have it. It is the same as with the virus itself. https://covidcalltohumanity.org/2021/06/07/nicanor-perlas-scientists-sound-alarm-vaccines-will-kill-millions/

The medical establishment has avoided autopsies of vaccine-related deaths. The narrative doesn’t want to acknowledge them. People ruined by the vaccine can get no help from the medical establishment. Finally an autopsy was done, and the first autopsy of a vaccine-caused death supports these conclusions:

“This post-mortem study only confirms our worst fears that the Covid-injections cause more harm than good, and may actually even speed up the spread of the virus.

“According to the report, researchers found that the patient’s entire body had become overrun with high viral RNA loads, also known as vaccine-induced spike proteins. This has been reported by many investigators and even further research on what really is in the vaccine. [Read Covid vaccines not as effective as you think to learn more].

“This indicates two things.

“1. The mRNA from the vaccine is not localized to the injection site where it’s supposed to be but spread on other organs. [Read New evidence explains how mRNA vaccines cause organ damage to see the evidence.]

“2. We know the decedent was exposed to Covid-19. The virus was in every organ in his body. Based on what we know about coronavirus vaccines in the past, this could be seen as a signal of antibody-dependent enhancement [Read What is pathogenic priming? And Briefing document on Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine shows evidence of pathogenic priming among older adults]

“This means that the vaccine cannot stop the virus from spreading [in Pfizer’s briefing document to the Food and Drug Administration, they already intimated about this, see FDA knew there would be many COVID cases among the fully vaccinated and Leaked Pfizer contracts show they knew of adverse effects and lack of long-term efficacy of vaccines.]

“We have been programmed to believe that we can only go back to normal through the vaccines. Our governments didn’t tell us that these vaccines are ineffective and do not offer protection. [In the article COVID vaccines not as effective as you think, we learn that the real reduction rate for these vaccines, what scientists call absolute risk reduction or the difference in protection rates between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, is lower than 1% for some vaccines.] Expect massive propaganda of lies and panic especially with the advent of variants.”

https://covidcalltohumanity.org/2021/08/18/ground-breaking-autopsy-report-shows-the-vaccinated-had-toxic-spike-proteins-all-over-the-body/

No evidence exists that supports the claim of CDC director Rochelle Walensky that the delta variant is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”

No evidence exists that the vaccine protects against Covid. Indeed, the vaccine seems to spread the virus.

We have learned that there is no such thing as “fully vaccinated.” The new program is endless booster shots every few months, the result of which will be an explosion in adverse effects from the vaccine.

The Covid policy is so counterfactual and so contradicted by all evidence that conspiracy theorists who see a darker agenda at work are gaining credibility. When a vaccine has proven itself not to protect but to cause unprecedented deaths and illnesses, how can any intelligent person arrive at the conclusion that more vaccine is the solution?

How is it possible that the president of the United States is so poorly advised that he said on Wednesday August 18:

“Earlier today, our medical experts announced a plan for booster shots for every fully vaccinated adult American. This will boost your immune response, it will increase your protection from Covid-19. It’s the best way to protect ourselves from new variants that could arise.” The American president’s statement is total ignorance and blatant nonsense.

Why the desperate rush to force the unvaccinated to accept the vaccine? Fear was the instrument for the original vaccine push. Shame and guilt are the instruments for the second push. Is the game plan to get the world vaccinated before the deaths and illnesses from the vaccine can no longer be ignored?

It should disturb everyone and raise very serious questions why the leading experts and doctors are censored by the media and their warnings ignored by politicians and public health officials. When leading scientists and medical experts are ignored by authorities, how can we trust what politicians and bureaucrats tell us about Covid and the vaccine?

The Covid Narrative is a controlled one. Scientists are censored and public debate by scientists and doctors is prevented.

Why? Is there a secret agenda to which health and lives are being sacrificed?

Why Biden is Far More Dangerous than Jimmy Carter

It’s interesting to watch the Communist media and all the Biden allies in European governments, as well as America’s Communist Democratic Party, pile on him.

Last year, and earlier this year, Biden could do no wrong. So long as he wasn’t Trump — and so long as he’s not a Republican, and so long as he’s not even a “moderate” Democrat — he can do no wrong. He serves his purpose.

Seemingly, that’s all out the window after the collapse of Afghanistan.

Is something afoot?

Remember: Biden has no accountability to the American people. Personally, he may have accountability– to the people who ensured his regime would be in office in the first place. If his regime no longer pleases them, then they will take steps, through the media they dominate, to do whatever they need to do. It’s just like mask mandates and vaccinations. So long as these things please them and serve their power pursuits, they are imposed; when they tire of these methods, they move on to others — or go back again. Whims are how tyrants function. There’s nothing mysterious or brilliant about it. There never has been.

None of these leftist, fascist or “woke” Communist tyrants care in the least about American military strength or credibility. They only care about their own power (and money, of course). In some sense, their power depends, at least in part, on the American military. They’re counting on everyone in the military to support their woke, far left efforts. But nothing seems to phase these people. They are drunk with power. In their drunkenness, they act like they’re truly mad. It stems less from mental illness than unchecked evil, combined with no accountability whatsoever for their actions.

Biden isn’t the main one to watch. The ones to watch are in the media. The media consists of thoroughly dishonest, and not-very-smart people who all look to each other for ideas about how to compose a narrative that fits in with what seems cool, or acceptable. They represent the utter antithesis of objectivity, or truth. Nevertheless, they are very much the drivers of today’s society. We have seen that with how they control other people’s behavior regarding COVID-19. They’re literally drunk with power. They know, or at least have reason to believe from repeated recent experience, that they can literally shut down civilization on a moment’s notice by screaming that the sky is falling (and getting “Dr. Fauci” to agree with them).

The real question: What does a leftist totalitarian have to gain through Biden’s downfall, if it happens? The rise of Kamala Harris? Perhaps. Or maybe something else is in store for us.

All we can know for sure is that the people in charge are NOT accountable to the voters. The voters stopped asserting their rights by giving in to COVID, including the phenomenon of mail-in voting which enabled Biden’s faux presidency.

The government does not serve any rational purpose, certainly not after the “election” of 2020. It does not serve the interests of the people, not any longer. The government is about service to a small number of corrupt elites — driven by money, irrational ideology, or both — who will sacrifice everything worthwhile about human life in order to get it.

When Jimmy Carter’s disasters piled up back in the late 1970s, he was actually held accountable. Ronald Reagan and the Republicans crushed him in the election of 1980, and the results of that election mattered for many years after. Some of the old-school, more conservative newscasters try to report about Biden on the same premise. What they’re missing is that this is not 1979; and it’s not your granddaddy’s failed presidency.

That’s what makes the present situation far more dangerous than 1979. Today’s leftists are not accountable. They are amoral, sinister and utterly irredeemable monsters. Our fate lies in their hands, unless the all-too-silent majority can yet figure out a way to bring them down. Biden is their poster child, but his arrogant ineptitude is simply a concrete illustration of just what we’re up against.
