The revolution may be televised

There is a coup going down in America. The same coups we've seen in other countries is now in our country. The Marshall Report goes into detail about it and effective ways to combat it. Trump is not taking this lying down and neither should the rest of us patriots.

The truth about the election

AOC the bully

 

AOC and Hiter 

AOC already wrote Joe Biden's environmental platform, but apparently that was just the beginning. She just sent an open letter to his campaign demanding that a future Biden administration reject any business executives! This is crazy! AOC is basically telling Biden how to fill his own cabinet. Help me end AOC's political career, and end her influence within the Democratic Party, with a quick $30 donation to our campaign. I thought that the Green New Deal being included in Joe Biden's platform would have been enough of a victory for a freshman Congresswoman. But AOC isn't stopping. She's pressing her influence and trying to ensure that a Biden administration would be filled with radical socialists instead of competent business executives. I can stop this from happening by defeating AOC this November. If she loses reelection, she'll lose all credibility in the Democratic Party! Fund our get out the vote efforts today with a $60 donation. I have built a coalition of Republicans, independents, moderate Democrats, and former liberals who are sick of being represented by a radical socialist. They want honest representation from someone who's actually from the district. Voters in the Bronx and Queens want a Congressperson who will back the blue and push to reopen our schools and businesses. I am that candidate, and our campaign can win this race! Help me get our voters to the polls today with a generous contribution of $85, $120, $160 or more right now. It's up to patriots like you to help me defeat socialist AOC. I can't do this alone! Stand with me today, and we will make AOC a one term Congresswoman together. 


On an assuming street corner in the east Bronx, people slowly started crowding around a storefront turned political HQ, The Bronx Republican Party Headquarters. Over the sounds of old rock songs blasting through speakers, people talked like old friends — rarely using masks — and signed up for phone-banking and door-knocking at foldable card tables which had been set up right outside the doors of the building. Volunteers handed out “Cummings for Congress” window and yard signs and neon yellow shirts that read “Defund AOC” to an excited group of people with Trump 2020 memorabilia. This was the volunteer kick-off for the John Cummings campaign. In one of the safest Democratic seats in the nation, a Republican thinks he can defeat a progressive star. Cummings, a school teacher and a former cop, has a simple message for voters: bring representation back to the district and save America. His opponent, the national political celebrity Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, rose to prominence in 2018 after she beat 20-year incumbent Joe Crowley in the Democratic primary. Since then, she — along with other progressive members of Congress, sometimes disparagingly referred to as “The Squad” — has become a prime target for Republicans. Much like his opponent has done, Cummings has made sure to play up that he is not a politician but rather a school teacher. This makes Cummings and Ocasio-Cortez a part of a growing trend of non-politicians from both sides of the aisle choosing to run, and choosing to amplify their lack of “establishment” credentials while doing so. At the Cummings event, Ocasio-Cortez was a common topic of conversation, more even than Cummings himself. Laura Angelo, 56, is a retired school bus driver who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and Donald Trump in 2016. She told me that the priority of politicians should be ensuring a free America. She said she is scared for the future her grandchildren face because of the possible leftward shift the country is facing, which, to her, is represented by Ocasio-Cortez. “I’ve got to support John Cummings because he is going against AOC to take her out of office,” Angelo said. “We have got to get rid of her lies. We’ve got to get rid of AOC and the rest of the swamp.” Judy Lanci, the President of the Bronx American Legion Auxiliary, believes the district has not received any support from Ocasio-Cortez since she was elected to office. She was there that evening to give a certificate of appreciation to Cummings after he donated $2,000 to the legion so it could send care packages overseas and pledged to make his first bill in Congress a piece of legislation to make all postage to US military members serving in areas of conflict free. “I have not seen AOC ever, and I am very active in the community,” Lanci said. “John is very visible and he cares about the community. He lives here, he knows all about the community, and, like I said, he cares all about the community. He won’t be an absentee Congressman.” At the event, it became clear that the campaign would be relying on reliable, in-person campaigning tactics. Throughout the evening, there was frequently a line at the table to sign up for door-knocking, with supporters explaining it was their favourite part of election season. Despite the Facebook page asking people to wear a mask and socially distance, masks were used by a minority of attendees, with many pulling them off when speaking to one another, and supporters were packed together on the sidewalk throughout the evening. Speaking to Cummings, he mentioned that ground game is key to the campaign, indicating that the ongoing pandemic would not change the campaign’s playbook.

A couple of videos by Terrence Popp

 I've always found Terrence Popp's videos to both entertaining and educational. First up is "Cows make delicious targets". Despite its comedic title, this one is a horror video. In it, Popp describes the horrors of war and he describes it in a way that successfully conveys the message that he wants to audience to understand and that message is of an environment that can only be described as hell itself. In fact, if Popp can successfully apply that message as I described it to a movie or video that would be fucking intense. It may lead to a lot of sleepless nights by guys who are lifelong civilians. Companies that make night lights would see a sharp rise in sales. I guess that is good for the economy.

 
 

Next up is "The feud from hell". Despite its horror story sounding title, it is actually a comedy and a very funny one at that. The way Popp masterfully tells this story is very entertaining. I have to say this video is the best comedy all around. If fact if Popp could successfully extrapolate this message to a movie or video it would be very funny. Even Porky's In The Principals Office funny.

An assassination by any other name

President Donald Trump and the First Family are checked for COVID-19 on a continuous basis every day. Not only that but those who visit them are also tested to prevent spreading the disease to the First Family. Taking all that into consideration how can the First Family come up COVID-19 positive? I've heard that it is asymptomatic. I've also heard it can be difficult in a moderate way to you are on a ventilator and at death's door on the other extreme. I am nowhere near a medical expert but even I know that is a lot of wiggle room for a biological agent. Is it a sentient being that independently and intellectually decides which of the above means it will employ? Or is it all smoke and mirrors with human minds and hands acting behind the scenes? Is it the former where humanity is just another animal and the contribution of mankind and their influence doesn't mean a hill of beans in the long run? Or is it the latter? Where a health risk to President Trump would benefit Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party and The Deep State. That is how it is looking. Joe Biden is running for President on the Democratic ticket. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is "stepping up" after it is "determined" that Donald Trump and Mike Pence are found "not fit enough to lead". So that leaves one question: Is Pelosi going to retain the Presidency as Biden drops out or is Pelosi going to hand the Presidency over to Biden? Let's see. Stay tuned for more.

Was Ayatollah Khomeini misunderstood?

This video proves that Ayatollah Khomeini reached out to the USA but we snubbed him. This video also proves we were not in love with the Shah like a lot of people thought we were. Perhaps the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and holding the Americans there as hostages was an act of revenge more than an act of terrorism.

Queen Nancy the first

“Versailles cast a spell over those who lived and served and visited there. And while they were under its spell, they breathed nothing but incense, drank nothing but nectar, ate nothing but ambrosia — and imagined that they crushed roses underfoot.” — Carolly Erickson, “To the Scaffold: The Life of Marie Antoinette”

Nancy Patricia Pelosi was elected to California’s 5th Congressional District in 1987. Since then, she has risen to serve two terms as speaker of the House of Representatives, the most prestigious and powerful position in the U.S. Congress, second in line to the presidency. Should both President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence be unable to serve in office, Nancy Pelosi, by Constitutional mandate, would become president of the United States.

She is a member of political nobility.

As speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has a call on virtually all federal assets except Air Force One and Air Force Two.

At her leisure, she flies wherever she wants to go aboard taxpayer-owned, fully tricked-out private jets, flown by military pilots, with her pets, friends and family members; stays at the most lavish hotels in the world; eats in the finest private dining rooms and is protected wherever she goes by a full complement of bodyguards of the Secret Service.

The media are spellbound by her breathing, her attire, her every utterance, no matter how extreme, banal or silly. As a member of the political nobility, Nancy Pelosi hates the masses, despises them for their lack of appreciation for her looks, her speech and especially, her ethereal and vaunted position.

She grew up in a radically progressive family, and her father served as a progressive Democrat in the House of Representatives and as mayor of Baltimore.

Pelosi grew up in the lap of luxury far removed from the realities of life. Majoring in political science in college, she has focused her entire life on the craft of politics — manipulation of the masses for political and financial gain.

Lusting for the limelight, Queen Nancy never misses an opportunity to jump in front of a camera or a parade.

Pelosi spends much of her time trying to maintain a front — including keeping up her appearance, which involves regular hair reconstruction.

Pelosi’s legacy won’t be her radical progressivism, her tacit approval of communist revolutionaries torching her city, the thousands of homeless on the streets of her district, her failure to rid the country of Donald Trump, her loss of control over her caucus to a bevy of wild-eyed communist twits or even her scandalous enrichment of her family at taxpayer expense.

No. Nancy will be remembered for having her hair done at a hair salon in San Francisco while all hair salons were shut down by her governor, Gavin Newsom, a fellow radical leftist.

Pelosi was recently caught in the raw: shuffling through the back door of a hair salon, wet straggly hair hanging down, without a stitch of COVID masking to be seen.

She was caught on closed-circuit cameras having her hair done, by private appointment, in a salon that was legally closed — without a mask. And when the clip was released to the media, she publicly blamed the owner of the salon, claiming she had been “set up.”

She could have just admitted bad judgment and the story would have died in 24 hours but, you see, the nobility can’t admit to having exercised bad judgment or they wouldn’t be nobility.

You see, Nancy’s middle name is Patricia, meaning regal or noble. A lifetime of political mud-wrestling has left little evidence of what might plausibly have been regal or noble in Nancy Pelosi.

There is, however, a striking resemblance to a real patrician of the late 18th century, Marie Antoinette, the queen wife of King Louis XVI.

Physical and intellectual considerations aside, the resemblance lies in the egotistical, self-entitled lifestyles of the two women. Marie Antoinette had the world at her feet and everything she could possibly desire to satisfy her childish demands — all of which eventually led to her beautifully coiffed cranium being liberated at the guillotine between C4 and C5.

The court of Louis XVI enjoyed everything that money of the day could buy: travel in the finest gilded coaches, the finest clothing styles of the day, private tutored education, unrestrained sex and drugs, prestige, position and power.

Yet that great leveler, the guillotine, brought it all down for even most patrician in French society. Louis, Marie and their entourage never dreamed they might fall from their vaunted positions of privilege, yet fall they did, their heads into the bloodied basket of the scaffold.

How could this happen? How had they lost control? Revolutions are dangerous business.

Nancy Pelosi has refined the craft of politics to a point that would turn the 16th-century Niccoló Machiavelli green with envy.

One dictum from “The Prince,” which Pelosi has certainly memorized, is to never give reason for the lowly masses to laugh or ridicule the queen, for ridicule and humor at the expense of the queen is the beginning of her fall.

The case can be made Pelosi’s fall off her perch began with the election of Donald Trump.

Possessing a low regard for the self-appointed nobility in America, the pompous pontificating pretenders of the Washington, D.C., political class and their billionaire owners, Trump’s very existence has driven the speaker into a curious mental condition, clinically known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, that even the media finds difficult to ignore. But back to the guillotine.

As in the 18th century, the political class and their billionaire owners appear to have forgotten what happened to their class during the French Revolution of 1789-1799: They had their heads chopped off — in public no less. Both the sponsors and the leaders of the Revolution ended up on the gallows.

Revolutions always end with the fomenters’, the leaders’ and the sponsors’ heads in the basket and the current revolutionary turmoil, if successful, can’t possibly end any other way.

Already, the mobs are attacking the homes of their mayoral masters in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and Chicago.

The mayor of Portland has been forced to leave his $840,000 condo-apartment after the revolution came to his “secure” building; he’s been forced to move to an undisclosed location by the very mob he encouraged and empowered.

Even Queen Pelosi has experienced a gathering of the lowly masses outside her multi-million-dollar home back in her district — an incident not far removed from 1789. It scared the hell out of her — or something along that line.

Revolutions are dangerous, especially for the political class.

Now Nancy Pelosi has been unmasked to her salivating, genuflecting public. She’s just another flawed human being pretending to be something she clearly is not, a very dangerous development for a make-believe queen.

Once the mob realizes she, and scores more like her in America’s political Versailles, is what she is, the cries will not be far away: To the scaffold! Off with her head!

Man tries to take out housefly takes out house instead

A man in Dordogne, France, accidentally blew up his own house while trying to remove a fly, local reports say.

Armed with an electric swatter, the man — who is in his 80s — chased the insect around his home, according to the local Sud Ouest newspaper.

What he didn't know at the time, though, was that there was a gas leak in his home. The reaction between the gas and the swatter caused an explosion that collapsed past of his ceiling, according to the report.

The man suffered a minor burn to his hand and his home is uninhabitable, Sud Ouest reported.

The fate of the housefly is unknown at this time.

Friday's blast wasn't the first time that an attempt to exterminate a tiny pest had led to bigger problems than it's worth.

Last year a man in Brazil tried to kill some cockroaches his backyard throwing matches in a hole that he had poured gasoline into. (It obviously wasn't the best strategy.)

The fly flew away unharmed. That is how it usually goes when it comes to irony. If he had a gas leak wouldn't he succumb to the fumes?

It looks like Joe Biden is going to win

According to the 2016 2020 polls Hillary Clinton Joe Biden has a sizeable lead. I was looking forward to a Trump victory but with Hillary Clinton Joe Biden in the lead it doesn't look like it going to be a reality. Let's face it. Trying to defeat Hillary Clinton Joe Biden is going to be an enormous task. I mean we are taking on Hillary Clinton Joe Biden for crying out loud. I wonder if we are asking too much. I mean this is Hillary Clinton Joe Biden we are talking about. She He has been in Washington DC for years even decades. What chance do we stand?

This is fantastic

Federal prosecutors cannot punish two Northern California marijuana growers for violating U.S. drug laws because Congress has protected pot suppliers who follow the state’s medical marijuana law, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.

In a 2-1 ruling, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld a federal judge’s decision that two men whose property in Humboldt County was raided by federal drug agents in 2012 had complied with California’s medical marijuana law and could not be sentenced as drug dealers under federal law.

Both men had pleaded guilty to federal charges in 2014, a year before Congress barred the Justice Department from spending money to interfere with a state’s medical marijuana law. California voters approved the nation’s first such law in 1996, and 20 years later approved another law legalizing possession, use and cultivation for personal use of marijuana by adults over 21.

The appeals court had ruled in a separate case in 2016 that the budget restriction prohibited federal prosecution of growers who could prove they were following the state’s medical marijuana law. A year later, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg cited that ruling to bar federal sentencing of the two marijuana growers, the first such decision in the nation. Their lawyer, Ronald Richards, said Friday’s decision was the first by a U.S. appeals court to prohibit federal marijuana prosecution under the congressional restrictions.

“People are still going to prison for marijuana offenses, notwithstanding the fact that most states have medical marijuana laws and many states have legalized marijuana,” Richards said. “This ruling paves the way for others to challenge these prosecutions and not have the decision upset by an appellate court reweighing the evidence.”

He said his clients, Anthony Pisarski and Sonny Moore, would ask Seeborg to withdraw their guilty pleas.

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Federal policy on the issue has varied under both the Obama and the Trump administrations. Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced in January 2018 that his office would resume federal marijuana prosecutions nationwide regardless of state laws, but his successor, William Barr, promised at his Senate confirmation hearing in January 2019 that he would not prosecute growers who complied with state marijuana laws.

Pisarski and Moore were arrested in July 2012 by officers who said they found 327 marijuana plants, along with two loaded guns and $416,000 in cash on their property in a remote area of central Humboldt County. Searches over the next year uncovered more firearms, cash, and gold and silver bars.

The two men presented evidence that they grew the marijuana for nearby nonprofit collectives, which reimbursed them for their costs, and that they were abiding by the state law’s ban on growing marijuana for profit. Federal prosecutors argued that the cash, gold and silver were evidence of a profit-making business, but Seeborg disagreed, noting that such transactions were often made in cash because banks refused to serve marijuana businesses.

Upholding his ruling, the appeals court said prosecutors had not presented any evidence of past or future marijuana sales by the growers, other than the legal transactions with the collectives.

“The presence of weapons and excessive amounts of cash on the Humboldt property was equally consistent with the operation of a rural, cash-intensive enterprise as it was with an unlawful marijuana operation,” said Judge M. Margaret McKeown in the majority opinion. She was joined by Judge Eugene Siler of the federal appeals court in Cincinnati, temporarily assigned to the Ninth Circuit.

Dissenting Judge J. Clifford Wallace said the cash, guns and ammunition were evidence of a for-profit operation that would have violated California law.

This is awesome. This is a huge win. Thank you 9th Circuit Court Of Appeals for seeing reason. They don't often do that.

Happy birthday, America and a word from the losers

Yesterday was July Fourth. America's birthday. A revolution we had a won. We achieved independence from a very powerful global empire that was oppressing us. We cheered in the streets while we said:



Of course, there are two sides to every story. What is the British viewpoint of the American Revolution? I was reading this article on George Takei's website. Yes, Mr. Sulu George Takei. There is a lot of silence in Great Britain concerning this subject. However, there are Brits that did speak up about it. Some I found interesting and I wanted to respond to them.

To Americans the War of Independence was obviously a huge conflict that lead to the founding of a nation. To British - we have so much other military history (mainly Roman invasion, Norman conquest, 100 year war, War of the Roses, Spanish Armada, English Civil War, Battle of Trafalgar/Waterloo, WW1, WW2 to name a few) that it barely gets a mention.

To Britons, We have a rich military history too. The War of 1812-USA versus Great Britain, American Civil War, WW1.WW2-to save Britain's ass,Vietnam-Americans discuss Vietnam and we move beyond it. Too bad you cannot do the same. There is also the Korean War, The Persian Gulf War, The Iraqi War, The Spanish American War and a possible second Civil War.

We also cover non-military history (e.g. Kings/Queens of England, life during medieval period, Henry VIII founding the Church of England, Slavery, British Empire, Industrial Revolution) and learn a little about Ancient History (Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Celts)

We discuss Presidents: past, present and future. We also discuss members of Congress and the Senate. We've read about your lives in medieval times. The Founding Fathers drafting the Declaration Of Independence and Constitution. Slavery too. American sovereignty and sustainability. Yes on the Industrial Revolution and ancient history too.

There's a lot to squeeze in that is arguably more relevant to UK's development as a nation so we don't really cover it.

Not to mention it is a bigtime embarrassment.

Tucker Carlson is under fire


Tucker Carlson

The intolerant left is going after Tucker Carlson for speaking the truth. A truth the left would love to censor. A truth the left doesn't want people to know. Several advertisers have withdrawn their commercials from Tucker Carlson's show. Among the most prominent of the sponsors are T-Mobile, Disney and Papa John's Pizza. Let's contact them and tell them since they are no longer interested in advertising during Carlson Tucker's show then we are no longer interested in giving them our money. That's right. We boycott them. Hey dudes, Carlson Tucker has put in on the line for us the least we can to support him now in his time of need. This is what I mean along with this.

When you contact these companies address your concerns to the following CEO's:

Oregon journalist Andy Ngo sues Antifa for $900,000 for 'campaign of terror'

Journalist Andy Ngo filed a lawsuit Thursday against the Rose City Antifa, seeking $900,000 in damages for waging a “campaign of terror and harassment” against him, including a series of physical attacks.

A complaint filed in Oregon Circuit Court said Mr. Ngo has been assaulted, stalked, threatened and robbed by members of the Rose City Antifa in Portland, suffering a brain hemorrhage after being attacked in June 2019 by a black-masked mob.

The lawsuit, filed by San Francisco attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon and the Center for American Liberty, described Rose City Antifa as a racketeering operation under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act.

“What happened to Andy Ngo is disturbing and should send chills down the spines of every journalist in the country,” said Ms. Dhillon, the Republican National Committeewoman from California, in a statement.

In addition to the Rose City Antifa, the complaint names five individuals and identifies them as Antifa activists.

“The police, district attorney’s office, and local politicians have totally failed to bring justice to the perpetrators of this heinous act and we bring this lawsuit as a last resort in the face of their unwillingness to enforce the law,” said Ms. Dhillon. “As we watch America’s greatest cities burn live on television at the hands of Antifa terrorists, we know they were emboldened by the inaction in Portland.”

The lawsuit comes with Antifa drawing heightened federal attention from the Trump administration, which has accused the shadowy anarchist group of driving the violent rioting wreaking havoc on U.S. cities since the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.

“Local law enforcement have been of little help. I have not heard from the police since last year,” Mr. Ngo said. “I have received and reported many death threats and incidents of harassment and stalking to police, but nothing has been done, even when I’ve identified suspects.”

He said he was first attacked during the 2019 May Day protest, during which an activist he identified as Benjamin Bolen punched him in the stomach. Later, at the Cider Riot bar, an Antifa hangout, Mr. Ngo said he was sprayed with bear mace, leaving him “temporarily blinded.”

A week later, an Antifa activist he identified as John Hacker threw an unknown liquid on his head while he was at the gym. On Halloween 2019, a half-dozen Antifa members came to his house wearing masks of his face, banged on the windows, rang the doorbell, and tried the door handle.

“As part of Rose City Antifa’s campaign of terror and harassment against Ngo, Twitter accounts controlled by Antifa members released, in two separate events, private information about donors to Andy Ngo’s medical expenses from the mob attack and private information about his family (such as the address of his mother’s small business),” said the lawsuit.

Rose City Antifa, which maintains a Twitter account called Always Antifascist, did not have any immediate public comment.

It's too bad the Portland authorities did nothing to stop anitfa. If this is the only justice that Ngo can get that is pathetic but at least he'll get something out of it.

Trump signs executive order to prevent social media from censoring protected speech


President Trump, joined by United States Attorney General William Barr, signed an Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship | May 28, 2020

From The White House:

BREAKING: President Trump signs order to fight online censorship

Moments ago in the Oval Office, President Trump signed an Executive Order to fight online censorship by technology corporations, including social media platforms.

Tech bias is a major issue facing our democracy. It challenges the free exchange of ideas and public debate that protects our civil liberties. Every citizen—liberal, conservative, or otherwise—has a right to be heard and treated fairly online.

🎬 WATCH: President Trump announces executive action to fight online censorship

In the next few hours, you may hear a lot about this Executive Order. Leftwing media will claim it addresses a fake problem because tech bias doesn’t exist. Democrats in Congress will say the President is exceeding his authority. Some in the Beltway establishment will say the order doesn’t do that much in the first place.

All of these are lies. Here are a few of the key actions in President Trump’s order:
Makes it U.S. policy that platforms who selectively edit, censor, or are not acting in “good faith” with regards to content will not receive the liability protection included in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act

Directs the Commerce Department to petition the FCC to make clarifying rules on Section 230 in line with U.S. policy

Helps stop millions of taxpayer dollars from being wasted by federal agencies on advertising with biased social media platforms

Ensures the Justice Department will review more than 16,000 complaints about politically motivated censorship that were collected by the White House in advance of a Social Media Summit held last year

Mobilizes State Attorneys General—who have massive subpoena and consumer protection authorities—to ensure social media platforms are not engaging in unfair or deceptive acts or practices

Acts as federal law and lists the many ways in which tech platforms act with bias against viewpoints they disagree with

Massive corporations that treat millions of American citizens unfairly shouldn’t expect special privileges and protections under the law. With President Trump’s Executive Order today, our country is one step closer to having an honest, fair public debate.

Gutfeld steps in it

On tonight's Greg Gutfeld Show (5-23-20) Gutfeld mentioned Eric Garner and said he was choked out by a cop who did not want to arrest him. So instead the cop decides to end Garner's life. I usually don't mind Gutfeld's offbeat humor but this time he went too far. Gutfeld's offbeat humor is okay if we are talking about a water skiing squirrel but in this case, we are talking about a man who was a victim of police brutality. Eric Garner was murdered by New York Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo. As you can see this asshole is a real piece of work. Acting like a fascist dickhead comes easy to some people. It's even worse if they have a badge and a gun.

Facebook Censorship









From the YouTube website:

MY FACEBOOK 30 DAY BAN = ILLEGAL CENSORSHIP!!!

THE SPECIFIC REASON FOR MY LAST 30 DAY BAN ON HATEBOOK WAS AFTER A VIDEO WAS SHOWN ABOUT MUSLIM KIDS SINGING THEY WOULD CUT OFF THE HEADS OF AMERICANS AND I TOLD MY FRIENDS THEY HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT..

...I REALLY DO MEAN IT... YOU ALL HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.. THATS NOT A KNIFE!!!
======================================
Above before i received the 30 day FB BAN, I was sending another old warning to my Fb friends about a 420 ride that was a bust.. Police were stalking the users Fb page and his daily posts to track him and arrest them in the illegal ride and pot smoke out in Nyc that is a yearly celebration.. I didn't get to send the warning which was sent to me by someone I work for in an E mail after it turned up in a news story....i was illegally censored 5-9-2019 After I was banned a few days later I received another message that something I posted later in addition to what I said about fanatical muslims with knives was also banned.. FB HOW DO YOU BAN SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY ON A 30 DAY BAN MORONS??? again I am asking because I am special I get banned while I am banned already..
===============================
MY FACEBOOK 30 DAY BAN May 2019
IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN!!!! This is around my 3oth bullshit illegal censorship ban on Facebook and this time it is for 30 days..All for saying something that was deemed hateful or against Fb's new rules..Now anything you say can be deemed offensive or hateful and you can be blocked or outright banned for life from using the website..
========================================
Recently about a month ago I was banned for asking WHAT SHITHOLE PLANET DIO ALEXANDRIA OCASIO CORTEZ COME FROM??? Which if you think about it in legal terms I was not saying it I was asking it so I have extra protections..
Then a week later I was banned for saying that democrat states are evil for making 5 million each day on over 900 daily abortions.. I was sticking up for life but my comments were against Facebooks liberal agenda
===================================
Then I get banned for WARNING my close friends about threats coming from muslim children who sang about cutting American heads off!! There again I get extra legal protections under the whistleblower act.. if I am warning people close to me, I just don't have 1st amendment protections, i also have whistleblower protection.. That all gets taken away when you get banned on Fb you can't send messages, you can't even like anything, post anything, no posting notes, you cant post video or even change your profile picture to tell everyone you are in Fb jail.. Nothing.. You can't even use Fb messenger when on a 30 day ban.. Total illegal censorship and I NEVER AGREED TO THAT OR TO BE TREATED THAT WAY
============================
I am in talks with a 1st Amendment lawyer and may pursue a class action billion dollar lawsuit if something isn't done to correct this LIBERAL AGENDA. on Facebook.. it went from Facebook to Fakebook to Hatebook.. They want to silence anyone who does not go along with heir evil Democrat agenda.. Those examples right there could be deemed hate speech but it is all true, and these 4 videos right here back up every word I am saying
============================
Most people would just walk away and not use the site anymore, but I am not like most people and refuse to back down from a fight especially a biased one against me and what I am saying.. I publish notes on all hot topics, a citizen journalist of sorts, exposing the truth from an unbiased view and nobody likes that..i have also published videos and posted informative articles.. I do that all the time to help, to solve problems in the world and make it a better place.. The Democrat Liberal agenda is evil and does not want any part of that, so they will try to silence me..

Australian media is brutally honest about Joe Biden



While the American media is inflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome the Australian media is immune and they are being very blunt about Joe Biden and his senility. They called out the American mainstream media and rightfully called them "spokespersons for the American Democratic Party". That is very true. It is ironic that the USA has always advocated for a free and unfettered press while at the same time we no longer have a free and unfettered press.

Plandemic



This video is mind-blowing. If this is true it is very revealing. Usually, when Trump did his news conferences alongside Dr. Anthony Fauci I've found Dr. Fauci's advice comforting however his speech at the end of this video was the antithesis of all that. I found it very chilling. Spine-tingling.

I've found the following words on the same website as the video. Words that I found inspiring:

Dear gatekeepers of truth and free speech, before removing this video, please read these words:

The world is watching you. We understand the pressure you’re under to censor any information that contradicts the popular narrative. We know the risk that comes with defying the orders of those who pull the strings. We realize even the biggest of tech giants are under the command of powerful forces that wield the ability to destroy your empire with the click of a key. But due to the critical condition of our world, “I was just doing my job” is no longer an acceptable excuse.

This is no time to play politics. Our future is your future. Your family’s future. Your children’s future. Your grandchildren’s future. This is a plea to the human in you. Preventing this information from reaching the people is taking a firm stance on the wrong side of history. A choice you will certainly live to regret as truth exponentially emerges. There is nothing, no billionaire, no politician, no media, no level of censorship that can slow this awakening. It is here. It is happening. Who’s side are you on?

And to the citizens of this magnificent planet...

If anything is clear at this moment, it is the fact that no one is coming to save us. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Though great forces have worked long and hard to divide us, our resilience, strength, and intelligence has been gravely underestimated. Now is the time to put all our differences aside. United we stand. Divided we fall.

Up the ante



This does change things. In a previous article, I wrote about the coronavirus and China's military. Now we see China's military being used in the region Tim Pool was talking about. Russia has involved itself as well. Apparently, Putin is still upset that we funded and armed Ukraine and now he is letting us know. Iran is siding with China even though the coronavirus took out a lot of high ranking members of the Iranian government. Apparently, Iran's hatred toward us for supporting a monarch that died over 30 years ago is so intense that they will excuse the recent deaths caused by a virus that China unleashed upon the world. A monarch that a large portion of the Iranian population only knows from history books. However, I'm sure these same young Iranians wept over the deaths of their older relatives killed by the coronavirus that was a "gift" from their ally, China. The only thing that is incorrect is the "re-claiming" of Taiwan. The communist government in Beijing has no legitimate claim to Taiwan because Taiwan was never the property of the communist government. Taiwan has never been governed by the communist party in Beijing in any way. For China to say they are "re-claiming" Taiwan is the like the US "re-claiming" Brazil. China has no legitimate argument nor do they have a legitimate claim to Taiwan. This is just a bullying maneuver. They are attempting to see if they can get away with it. On the good guy side thanks to Australia for watching our back. The Australians have shown us they're good friends. I'm sure the South Korean navy has our back as well. North Korea leader Kim Jong Un is the x-factor. He has been described as "incapacitated". He is no friend to America. His death, if it occurs, maybe to our advantage. If he is incapacitated who is running North Korea? Let's see how this unfolds.

The Coronavirus: accomplishing what the People's Liberation Army cannot

You can accomplish a lot more with a lot less culpability by using a biological weapon instead of human soldiers. I'm sure China came to the same conclusion. COVID-19,the Coronavirus whatever you want to call it is a sneaky way to wipe out civilizations especially when your country has not formally declared war. But then again that is what communists are all about. That is what today's Democratic Party is about and today's democrat is a communist. So American Democrats and Chinese Communists are like minded and lock stepped in their quest for power. President Donald Trump has done a tremendous job in issuing a travel ban from China to curtail the spreading of the disease. The democrats bitched about it. That's because it upset their Chinese overlords. The problem for China is it also attacked countries that would have been friendly to China. Namely Iran. A lot of the mullahs that rule Iran were wiped out by the Coronavirus. The good thing about a biological weapon: You can use it and deny any malicious intent. You can't do that with a human military. The bad thing is unlike a human military a biological weapon destroys both friend and foe alike. The Coronavirus went global. Effecting every country on Earth. It is basically China versus Planet Earth at this point. China also manufactures America's medical supplies including life saving medicine. Why is it that a country that hates America like China does is manufacturing vital medicines that Americans need ? A question that I myself have asked. This just goes to show globalism is a stupid concept and that going back to nationalism is the best option. China has even withheld COVID-19 test kits that are vital to the American people. We've come to the conclusion that importing our oil is a bad idea. Now we must come to the realization is that importing our vital medical supply needs is also a bad idea. Our lives depend on it.

Youtube and other tech companies want to censor you

From Senator Rand Paul and Randpac:

Dear Patriot, I hope you’ll stand up and fight alongside me right now.

I’m going to need all the help I can get.

I’m up against not just the deep state in our government, but the tech world as well

I need you to help me fight back today.

It is a chilling and disturbing day in America when giant web companies such as YouTube decide to censure speech.

Now, even protected speech, such as that of a senator on the Senate floor, can be blocked from getting to the American people.

That’s not right.

It is dangerous and politically biased.

And if they can do it to me they Can do it to anyone.

Time to stand up and be counted.

Their arbitrary censorship is beyond the pale.

Nowhere in my speech did I accuse anyone of being a whistle blower, nor do I know the whistle blower's identity.

Apparently, YouTube has taken it upon itself to decide what questions can even be asked in the public debate, including on the

Senate floor.

Let’s show them the great silent majority of liberty lovers will be silent no more!

I need you to help RandPac spread the word here. RandPac needs to rally MILLIONS of Americans to this fight

So please be among the first to stand with me.

And please help RandPac spread the word through your Financial support as well.

Congress wants your guns

From Campaign For Liberty:

I’m growing more and more concerned the white-hot fight over gun control in Congress last fall was merely side-tracked by impeachment.

And the really troubling part is it may have given the anti-gun statists a strategic advantage to renew their all-out assault on our Second Amendment freedoms in Congress ahead of the November elections.

You see, the gun grabbers knew a major showdown over impeachment -- hot on the heels of Red Flag Gun Confiscation -- would only deplete our ability to thwart their gun control schemes.

And after wheeling their anti-gun political machine through Richmond, Virginia, they are convinced it’s the beachhead they need to DESTROY the Second Amendment and RAM their entire anti-gun agenda into law at the federal level.

Without your immediate action, it looks like they’ll be right and you and I will see the Second Amendment eviscerated.

So I’m counting on patriots like you to step up and stop them.

Won’t you please sign your DEFEND THE SECOND AMENDMENT DIRECTIVE right away?

I don’t have to tell you our Second Amendment freedoms are the ultimate safeguard to the Liberty and freedom that so many Patriots fought and died for.

And that for you and me there’s no choice when they come after our gun rights. We have to be ready for a knock-down, drag-out brawl to save our Second Amendment rights every time the gun grabbers attack!

Momentum shifting in the gun-grabbers’ direction is bad enough.

What really has me worried are the weak-kneed Republican politicians who’ve previously expressed support for various gun control proposals.

Historically, they’re prone to collapse the closer it gets to election day. November’s coming like a freight train and our Second Amendment freedoms hang by a thread.
All it will take is some madman shooting up a “gun-free” zone and those same politicians will be clamoring to cut a “deal” and grant Big Government statists BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL powers to:

- Seize law-abiding Americans’ firearms -- with ZERO DUE PROCESS -- through so-called “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation Orders; and

- Create a Nationwide Gun Registration -- aka “Universal Background Checks”. . . to hand Government Goons the names and firearms of every single gun owner in the country.

My friend, do you think it can’t happen where you live?
IT CAN. . . and the gun grabbers are dead set on making it a reality.

That’s why now more than ever we must be prepared to FIGHT BACK.

And why I need every single patriot to dig deep to help halt the statists’ assaults on our Second Amendment freedoms.

I'm counting on you!

Won’t you help keep building the grassroots muscle to make it 100% clear to ALL your elected officials there is no room for negotiation when it comes to our Second Amendment rights?

Please sign your DEFEND THE SECOND AMENDMENT DIRECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!

And after you have, please dig deep and chip in with as generous a contribution as you can afford to help Campaign for Liberty recruit and mobilize more patriots to defend our Second Amendment freedoms!

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. Gun-grabbers are feeling emboldened by what we just saw in Richmond, Virginia and they’re now dead set on RAMMING their anti-gun agenda into law at the federal level.

And with impeachment over, gun-grabbing politicians like Senators Lindsey Graham, Dianne Feinstein, and all the other anti-gun statists are poised to renew the horse-trading over our Second Amendment freedoms.

You and I must do everything we can to ensure we defend the Second Amendment.

So please sign your DEFEND THE SECOND AMENDMENT DIRECTIVE and pitch in whatever you can afford right away!

Nancy Pelosi: The Paper Tiger


If you saw the State Of The Union address you probably noticed Trump at his finest hour. I'm sure you noticed how humbled Rush Limbaugh was when he received the Medal Of Freedom Award. It was a good night for Trump and those of us who support him. On the other side of the aisle, there wasn't so much joy. In fact, the expression on Figurehead Nancy Pelosi's face was utter torture. It's like she didn't want to be there. It looked like she was going through her email, bank statement, anything but listening to Trump's speech. Trump's speech served three purposes. The first two to educate and reassure the people that everything will be alright. The third was to torture the fuck out of the Democrats. Especially Pelosi and it worked. Pelosi is a weak leader. AOC and the rest of the squad along with Adam Schiff went amok under her leadership. Both the squad and Schiff persecuted Trump despite Pelosi being reluctant to proceed with the impeachment hearings. They have both defied Pelosi and by doing so have further damaged the Democrat's reputation with the people. A lot of people say they are not going to vote Democrat because of the antics of the squad and Schiff. This happened under Pelosi's watch. The squad and Schiff have accomplished one thing and that is exposing Nancy Pelosi for the paper tiger she is.

Somebody is going to get the screw job

By now what you are most likely hearing about is the Iowa caucus and how there is no clear winner. If this were any other group I would give them the benefit of the doubt but with the Democrats you have to question it. I'll tell you exactly what it is. Bernie is on top and Biden is at the bottom. The exact reverse of what they want. So now we have a glitch with a vote-counting app. How convenient. When it came down to it the Democrats solved it the way they usually do:click here

The FBI is spying on Ron Paul and Campaign For Liberty

From Ron Paul for Campaign For Liberty:

Have you seen the news? The FBI is spying on Campaign for Liberty!

Now, I’m wondering if my own personal phone lines are tapped and emails being read by Peter Strzok-like agents who want to see our Liberty Movement DESTROYED.

That’s why I’m counting on your EMERGENCY action today.

With a showdown looming over PERMANENT reauthorization of the NSA’s domestic spying powers in March, I don’t think it’s an accident we’re being targeted by the Deep State.

They know Campaign for Liberty and the patriots like you who support us are their biggest remaining obstacle to their dream of turning America into a full-blown surveillance state.

They tell us it’s to “keep us safe,” and their power would never, ever be abused.

The Deep State coup they’ve led against President Trump has exposed to many Americans what a blatant LIE this is.

As I’ve pointed out time and again if they’ll go after a sitting president, what’s to stop them from coming after you or me?

The answer is nothing.

That’s why I’m counting on you to please sign your EXPOSE THE DEEP STATE petition to Congress, DEMANDING they investigate FBI spying on Campaign for Liberty and any other domestic organization they’re targeting.

You see, not long ago, Cato Institute Scholar Patrick Eddington submitted hundreds of Freedom of Information Requests (FOIA) to the FBI asking whether the bureau had ever conducted warrantless surveillance of organizations like Campaign for Liberty.

When the responses started pouring back in, the FBI effectively responded, “No, nope, nope, never, not them, nope. . .”

That is UNTIL they were asked about Campaign for Liberty.

Then the FBI issued a “Glomar” response, effectively saying, “No comment.”

These “Glomar” responses are extremely rare, used only when the FBI wants to refuse to confirm or deny whether it was collecting national security or intelligence records on the subjects of the FOIA request.

In other words, if they WEREN’T spying on me, they’d say so!

Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised. . .

To the Deep State, I’m “dangerous” because I support liberty.

That’s been the message time and again, going all the way back to 2009 when the Department of Homeland Security issued warnings about people with my presidential campaign stickers on their cars!

Then, a few years later, we were targeted by the IRS seeking personal records and information on some of our largest donors (an attack we fought and ultimately WON with your help).

Deep State mouthpieces in the media have accused me of being a Russian stooge for simply standing up for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Now, this.

With a battle looming over PERMANENT reauthorization over Section 215 of the so-called “USA Freedom Act” in just weeks, I don’t think this is an accident.

This is the (UNCONSTITUTIONAL!) section of federal law pointed to by the Deep State authorizing them to spy on Americans’ phone calls, emails, Internet searches, chats, social media posts, and all the rest. . .

It’s the crown jewel of the domestic surveillance state.

And Campaign for Liberty is daring to threaten its survival!

So Deep State allies in the FBI want to intimidate me into shutting up -- something I will NEVER EVER do, so long as I have you standing beside me.

The only good news is this entire scheme can backfire -- IF I can count on your help today.

Deep State apologists in BOTH parties, from U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to Lindsey Graham (R-SC), are growing squeamish about reauthorization.

They know there’s abuse. And they know -- despite the Deep State’s promises -- domestic government spying has never done anything to catch a terrorist.

For you and me, that’s no surprise. That’s never what these schemes have been about.

From the beginning, they’ve ALWAYS been about shutting up voices like mine who support American freedom.

The good news is, if you and I can FORCE Congress to investigate the FBI’s surveillance of Campaign for Liberty, it will expose the Deep State’s true colors for all of America to see -- right as the battle over reauthorization of Section 215 of the so-called “USA Freedom Act” comes to a head.

That’s why I’m counting on your EMERGENCY action today.

So please sign your EXPOSE THE DEEP STATE petition right away.
But I hope you won’t stop there. If possible, please agree to your most generous contribution to help Campaign for Liberty:

1) Deploy targeted online Internet ads calling on Congress to investigate the FBI spying on Campaign for Liberty and any other similar organization they’re targeting. This may be THE most cost-effective way for you and me to turn up the heat!

2) Use mail and email to contact up to 12 million Americans from coast-to-coast to generate petitions just like the one I’ve linked for you to Congress;

3) Work the talk-radio lines to explain exactly why our effort to expose the Deep State’s true colors is absolutely critical to stop the reauthorization of their UNCONSTITUTIONAL spying powers; and

4) Launch an all-out email and phone mobilization campaign to explain to the American people exactly why the Deep State MUST be exposed.

With the fight over the USA Freedom Act just weeks away, we’re running out of time to raise the resources we need to fight back.

So after you’ve signed your Directive, won’t you please make your most generous contribution of $15?

I know I’ve asked a lot of you lately. But considering everything that’s at stake, I’m asking each and every Campaign for Liberty supporters to dig deep.

Of course, if that’s just too much please agree to $10 or at least $5.

The FBI and their Deep State allies have run rough-shod over Americans’ civil liberties long enough.

It’s time to take the power back -- and that begins by us demanding Congress investigate FBI spying on Campaign for Liberty and any other pro-freedom organization they’re targeting.

Please take action by signing your EXPOSE THE DEEP STATE petition and making your most generous contribution of $15, $10, or at least $5 right away.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

The rainbow mafia is at it again

From Public Advocate:

We have been betrayed by a so-called "conservative."

Representative Chris Stewart (R-UT) introduced a radical anti-Family bill in the House called the "Fairness For All Act."

But you and I are not dumb.

This is nothing but a Trojan Horse for the Gay Bill of Special Rights (H.R. 5 & S. 788).

And the Homosexual Lobby is hoping this "new" bill will gain the bipartisan support needed to enforce their radical agenda.

My friend, I have warned you about this time and time again.

So-called "conservatives" are bowing down to the Homosexual Lobby's pressure and are now even introducing a Trojan Horse version of their crown-jewel legislation.

In the news, you are going to hear that this bill is a "more acceptable alternative" to the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

You may even see some say it would allow Christians like Colorado baker Jack Phillips to practice his beliefs without persecution.

But let me ask you one thing: When has the radical Left EVER looked out for the values you and I hold so dear?

And that is exactly my point.

When we allow our elected officials to settle and compromise on something as sacred as Religious Liberty, America loses.

Because if this bill gains enough support to pass, like my insiders are telling me, the results could be catastrophic.

Religious Liberty would be constantly put into check and silenced.

Homosexuals and transgenders would become a protected class and push Christians to the back of the bus.

All in the name of "EQUALITY."

And that is not a future I want to leave for my children.

Public Advocate is on the scene, and there is still time to put pressure on Congress.

Your Public Advocate has won countless fights in the past, and we have stopped the Gay Bill of Special Rights every year it's been introduced.

With our proven grassroots programs, emails, social media presence, Amicus Briefs and our hard-hitting petition drives, your Public Advocate has led the charge to protect Religious Liberty.

But that was only because I had the support of folks like you who joined me in the fight.

You and I must unite to put the pressure on Congress and show them that we do not support the radical Homosexual Agenda.

Remind Congress we will remember that they chose to settle rather than fight to defend the rights of their constituents.

So will you join me in this crucial fight by signing your petition to Congress urging them to "Stop the Gay Bill of Special Rights?"

You see, if we fail to take action now, I'm afraid the Homosexual Lobby could gain the leverage needed to warp the views of our conservative leadership and pass this bill.

But if you and I unite with the millions of pro-Family Americans across the country, there is hope to stop their "equality" agenda that includes radical anti-Family bills like the so-called "Fairness For All Act."

I can only do so much without other Christian voices like yours.

That's why it's so important that you sign your new petition to Congress to "Stop the Gay Bill of Special Rights" before it's too late.

And after you sign your petition, I must ask you to consider chipping in a contribution of $10 or $25 to help us fund our proven efforts I mentioned before.

I hope I can count on you in this important fight.

Thank you, and God bless.

For the Family,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.

P.S. Representative Chris Stewart (R-UT) introduced a radical anti-Family bill in the House called the "Fairness For All Act."

This bill is nothing but a Trojan Horse for the Gay Bill of Special Rights (H.R. 5 & S. 788).

And if this bill gains enough support to pass, like my insiders are telling me, Religious Liberty would be in serious trouble.

That's why I must have you join me in this crucial fight by signing your petition to Congress urging them to "Stop the Gay Bill of Special Rights."

Only then can we stop the Homosexual Lobby's pressure tactics by drowning out their cries for the "equality" that pushes Christians to the back of the bus.


Not just for Christians but for Libertarians too. What the gay mafia is asking for is not equality but supremacy. That is out of the question. No group is more important than others. All should be equal before the law.
