All Lies: Tucker Confirms The J6 "Insurrection" Was Full of Undercover Officers and Informants

From The Daily Caller

Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson said Friday the Capitol Police chief told him the Jan. 6 riot crowd was “filled” with federal agents.

Carlson obtained more than 40,000 hours of video footage from the riot after Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy handed it over in February. Carlson began airing portions of the footage while he was still anchoring at Fox News.

Carlson sat down with actor Russell Brand on Friday and said he was “appalled” by the violence and vandalism seen on Jan. 6. He said the reason he “got involved in commenting on it” was because “the lying about it was immediate: ‘This was a racist, white-supremacist insurrection.'”

“I interviewed the chief of the Capitol Police, Steven Sund, in an interview that was never aired on Fox, by the way — I was fired before it could air, I’m gonna interview him again,” Carlson said. 

“But Steven Sund was the totally non-political, worked for Nancy Pelosi, I mean, this was not some right-wing activist. He was the chief of Capitol Police on January 6, and he said, ‘Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that crowd was filled with federal agents.’ What? ‘Yes.’ Well he would know, of course, because he was in charge of security at the site.”

“So, the more time has passed … it becomes really obvious that core claims they made about January 6 were lies,” Carlson continued. “The amount of lying around January 6, and it was obvious in the tapes that I showed, is really distressing.”

Defendant Dominic Pezzola’s lawyer, Roger Roots, argued there were “at least 40” undercover informants at the riot. Roots alleged there were eight FBI human sources embedded among the Proud Boys on Jan. 6, along with 13 undercover plain-clothes DC Metro Police agents. FBI whistleblower George Hill alleged during a February interview with the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that the field office in Washington may have had “undercover officers” and “confidential human sources” inside the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Wind/Solar Needs Almost 100% Conventional Power Backup

As dower demand Grows to 'fuel' electric cars, adding Wind+Solar generation requires nearly 100% convention power plant backups PLUS grid modifications.

Figure 1 shows the electricity demand situation during the week of Texas’ famous freeze and disastrous rolling-blackouts during freezing weather during Feb 7-14, 2021

Figure 1: Texas’ Grid Situation From Feb 7 to Feb 14, 2021

Even before wind turbines froze with ice coating, the combination of wind and solar providing 50% of electricity demand on a good day, the next day, the W+S power dropped to less than 5% of the electrical demand. This was during normal operation; well before freezing wind turbines. This is essentially the problem with wind and solar: there are wide swings in their capacity.

Solar never works at night and some nights might have calm winds.

This means conventional fossil or nuclear power (or massively expensive batteries?) will always need to be available as a backup for 90 to 100% of peak electricity demand to avoid blackouts/rolling blackouts.

As demand rises for electrical power to power electric cars and population growth, and wind and solar generation is added, the same amount of fossil or nuclear plants must ALSO BE ADDED as “back-up” for the intermittent energy sources. This means that you automatically double the amount of capital allocated for the virtual signaling of using increasing amounts of W+S.

And if you subsidize wind and solar with subsidies, subsidies will be required for the required conventional fossil/nuclear generation additions. It doubles the cost of power. And that’s before grid modifications—which no one is talking about.

You also are nearly doubling operating costs because conventional power plants must remain in a “hot standby” mode to come online quickly. These plants will ALSO require subsidies. So, we’re really talking about TRIPLING the cost of power.

That’s why Germany’s and Denmark’s electric power costs $0.37 to $0.40 per kilowatt hour (current) vs about $0.11 per kw-hr in the US. See below:

Another Example

Bloomberg had a light and breezy fantasy analysis about how well wind and solar has served Texas in the recents weeks with extremely high temperatures and huge power demand for air conditioning.

There’s nothing really wrong with Bloomberg here, but it tends to be simplistic and gives the impression that W+S is the (sole) answer to expanding power generation. As I mention above, as total demand rises and W+S is added, more coal, gas, nuclear or batteries must ALSO be added. It might not be 100% backup, but ~90% backup will always be required. Doubling, or nearly doubling the capital additions doesn’t make sense.

Bloomberg used a recent period to show how well W+S generation is doing here in Texas. But, they cherry-picked that timeframe where wind generation was very good. Texas and other high-plains areas of America have a lot of wind and that’s great. But the wind doesn’t always blow and there ZERO solar EVERY night.

Figure 2: ERCOT W+S Versus Total Electrical Demand

So, in the week of June 22, there was good and consistent wind—way above normal. But we saw above in Figure 1, that the wind doesn’t always blow enough. In the week above, the sum of W+S ranged from 20% of total demand to 48% of total electrical demand. It was an unusually good week.

So, double the capital cost AND double the operating costs. And we haven’t begun to talk about new grid additions and it’s cost.

In fact, there are many factors that “light and breezy” articles don’t tackle. It’s stuff that only engineers know about:

From Gail Tverberg at Our Finite Limits
 AND REMEMBER: USING W+S IS NOT NECESSARY EXCEPT TO “SAVE THE PLANET” FROM “GLOBULL WARMING.”

Solar/wind subsidies are driving reliable power plants out of business, leading to higher costs and lower reliability. (Like I said, reliable power plants will require subsidies—which are not understood yet).

Subsidies and Mandates for Electric Cars and W+S are driving nearly all of this insanity.

We will be better off using only 100% conventional power plant additions (and no W+S) for future demand increases. Why pay 3X the cost for electricity?? I guess we want to be like Germany and Denmark. I DON’T.

Then add $Trillions for grid expansions. Then there’s the cost of electric cars! Jesus, stop!! See Electrical Generation And Grids and Must VASTLY Expand To Accommodate Transportation Loads.

Trump-Appointed Judge Orders Biden WH to Stop Censoring Real Americans

From Don Surber at Substack:

Shreveport, Louisiana, had the most explosive fireworks on Independence Day when Judge Terry A. Doughty blew up the federal government’s censorship of conservatives on social media. Trump appointed him in 2018 and Doughty is now the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, based in Shreveport.

The attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri sued to stop federal agents from coercing social media to censor conservatives or anyone else who dared criticize our government. The deep state cited an extra-constitutional power to fight misinformation and disinformation but the biggest spreaders of lies are the FBI, CIA and the rest of the federal government.

Covid was not a pandemic.

The vaccine was not a vaccine.

Hunter’s laptop was not a Russian hoax.

Because the feds got social media outlets to serve as surrogate censors, Judge Doughty issued an injunction forbidding the feds from talking to the people who run social media. He did so on the Fourth of July because fighting the evil of government censorship is embedded in the birth of a free America.

The Washington Post owned by Jeff Bezos whined, “The Trump-appointed judge’s move could upend years of efforts to enhance coordination between the government and social media companies.”

I hope so.

This is a temporary injunction as the case continues. The Bezos Post said, “The ruling could have critical implications for tech companies, which regularly communicate with government officials, especially during elections and emergencies, such as the coronavirus pandemic.”

Given the amount of lies the government spread and the number of truths it stopped from being aired on the social media, such communications must end permanently.

NYT spun it as Republicans being sore losers.

It said, “The ruling was a victory for Republicans and other conservatives who have filed a series of lawsuits accusing the government of cajoling or coercing Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social media companies to censor its critics. Although the ruling is likely to be appealed by the administration, its impact could be sweeping, forcing government officials, including law enforcement agencies, to refrain from notifying the platforms of troublesome content.”

The only thing troublesome about the censored content was it was the truth that revealed the deep state’s lies. The order cited examples. NYT did not.

Enough of what the Bezos Post or NYT said that the judge said, let’s go to the order, which begins, “‘I may disapprove of what you say, but I would defend to the death your right to say it.’ — Evelyn Beatrice Hill, 1906, The Friends of Voltaire.

The line usually is misattributed to Voltaire but the judge was laser accurate in his order.

He wrote, “Although the censorship alleged in this case almost exclusively targeted conservative speech, the issues raised herein go beyond party lines. The right to free speech is not a member of any political party and does not hold any political ideology. It is the purpose of the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment to preserve an uninhibited marketplace of ideas in which truth will ultimately prevail, rather than to countenance monopolization of the market, whether it be by government itself or private licensee.”

He cited a 1969 case in which an extremely left-wing Supreme Court held that the government can indeed require radio broadcasters to give airtime to both sides of an issue in Red Lion Broadcasting Co., Inc. v. FCC. WGCB would not allow Fred J. Cook to respond an on-air personal attack by the Reverend Billy James Hargis. The Court said, oh yes you will.

Doughty said, “The question does not concern whether speech is conservative, moderate, liberal, progressive, or somewhere in between. What matters is that Americans, despite their views, will not be censored or suppressed by the Government.”

The attorneys general suing Biden and his henchmen had ample examples of censorship by a Civil Service-protected deep state

In his order, he said, “In this case, Plaintiffs allege that Defendants suppressed conservative-leaning free speech, such as:

“(1) suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2020 Presidential election;

“(2) suppressing speech about the lab-leak theory of COVID-19’s origin;

“(3) suppressing speech about the efficiency of masks and COVID-19 lockdowns;

“(4) suppressing speech about the efficiency of COVID-19 vaccines;

“(5) suppressing speech about election integrity in the 2020 presidential election;

“(6) suppressing speech about the security of voting by mail;

“(7) suppressing parody content about Defendants;

“(8) suppressing negative posts about the economy;

“and (9) suppressing negative posts about President Biden.”

I follow the news pretty close but reading the breath-taking amount of censorship heaped upon us by the federal government is shocking. The censorship and the lies raise the argument that we should defund the entire enterprise and let the states govern and the National Guard and local militias protect our borders.

You have to read the decision itself to appreciate just how often and routinely the Biden administration got Facebook and Twitter to censor posts and ban dissenters, including Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. There are 18 incidents in the first 93 days of the Biden administration’s takeover of the White House.

The CDC also engaged in this orgy of unconstitutionality.

Doughty raided the deep state and issued an order to keep the censors from communicating with the people who run social media.

He said, “During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.’”

Fact-check: Yep. It is good to hear a federal judge state this publicy. The pandemic panic was just a crisis Red China created and the deep state exaggerated. As Rahm Emanuel wrote, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” Hence, DC creates many a crisis.

Judge Doughty wrote in his injunction, “The Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits in establishing that the Government has used its power to silence the opposition. Opposition to COVID-19 vaccines; opposition to COVID-19 masking and lockdowns; opposition to the lab-leak theory of COVID-19; opposition to the validity of the 2020 election; opposition to President Biden’s policies; statements that the Hunter Biden laptop story was true; and opposition to policies of the government officials in power. All were suppressed. It is quite telling that each example or category of suppressed speech was conservative in nature. This targeted suppression of conservative ideas is a perfect example of viewpoint discrimination of political speech. American citizens have the right to engage in free debate about the significant issues affecting the country.”

And how did this censorship affect the nation? BBC reported, “Cocaine found at White House sparked evacuation, US media report.”

What do you expect? The deep state installed the father of a cokehead into the Oval Office, replacing a Real Man who never used drugs, never smoked cigarettes and sure as hell never sniffed little girls or showered with his daughters.

Censorship by Google’s blogspot enterprise led me to Substack. I suffered a Nurse Ratched editor for 26 years. That’s on me. I won’t tolerate again anyone telling me what I may or may not say.

Thanks to Judge Doughty, Americans became a little bit more independent on Independence Day 2023. Let freedom ring. Let Biden and his minions pound sand — or salt, if they prefer.

Diversity is Our Strength: If You Want Murder, Crime, Decay, Rape and Bombings, Part 2, Now France Is On Fire

France is on fire. A summary of the fifth nights of riots in France: 871 fires on public roads, 577 burned vehicles, 74 burned buildings, 719 people arrested, 45 police officers and gendarmes injured. Hmm…sounds like a weekend in Chicago… I’m joking, but not really.

The grandmother of shot the teenager whose death sparked riots across France has appealed for calm, as the total number of arrests has risen above 3,000.

Nadia accused rioters of using the death of her grandson as an "excuse" for engaging in violence and looting. That reconciliatory remark brought an eery calm to French cities that have been beset with youth rioters in the past 5 nights.

First it was Sweden and Germany. Now it’s France’s turn. It’s like “Arab Spring” again!! (sounds wonderful, like an air freshener or a bar of soap).

Europe allowed 3rd world invaders, really fake refugees (mostly young Muslim men), who are ruining most of Europe. But despite all of the chaos, the “leaders” in Europe won’t change any policy. They will continue with business as usual. They are willfully blind or they intend their own country’s destruction or both.

The EU is now really a failed state. Their leaders remain blind to real racial differences, just like our the lovely idiot US leaders/idiots. US and EU leaders are willfully blind to real and persistent racial differences between those of European descent vs. those of African or Middle Eastern descent (on average of course). The fact is that differences in a population’s intelligence CAUSES clashes of civilization. It’s true in the USA with it’s black population and it’s true in Europe with their Arab immigrants. You’ve heard the derogatory term “sand niggers” haven’t you? I know I’m being rude and insensitive, but there is a great deal of truth there.

I said in my post The Crux of Our Problem, US African Americans average IQ is somewhere about 82, or close to the world average, but significantly below those from N. Europeans and East Asians, who cluster at around a median IQ of 100 (and even higher in Singapore and E. Asia).

90% of the US black population have IQ levels less than the White median of 100. (Median of 82, std deviation of 13). This isn't catastrophic in any way by itself, as 82 is probably close to the world average intelligence, which by itself doesn’t mean much.

I’m estimating from my post Differences in Intelligence Cause Clashes of Civilization, that the median Arab IQ is similar to African Americans, or about a median 82 IQ, possibly lower. You are no doubt familiar with US Black’s capabilities. And Arabs (and much of the world) are at a similar level of intelligence. You could say, “Oh, it doesn’t matter” and in some ways that’s true, but low median IQ is generally not high enough for advanced civilization, ie., the type of civilization that we’ve become accustomed to in the West (but is in sharp decline). I said in my post Arab Civilization Is Collapsing (applies to US Blacks —with the exception of the predominance of Islam, although Islam and African Americans does go together—more than with the White population),

…the entire Arab/Muslim culture in N. African and the Middle East has collapsed and a huge refugee crisis has emerged. Those "cultures" have devolved thanks to lower IQ and Islam. Islamic cultures are extremely backward; autocratic (like the religion itself) and weighed-down by self-imposed factors such as poor education, the suppression of women and violence, And there is little happiness in Islamic cultures (in the West at least).  Religion is dangerous for people with weak minds!

I also said at the time in Differences in Intelligence Cause Clashes of Civilizations:

Their (Arab) uncontrolled (AND indiscriminate) migration into Europe is a huge clash of civilization and will bring huge problems to Europe. Muslims in Europe are not integrating or adapting well. They form "ghettos" of poor people on welfare and re-create the same failed cultures that caused them to flee to Europe in the first place! They have little to offer European civilizations in their devolved condition. Then, "welfare" causes even more cultural decline.

Could it be any more obvious? Here’s my post about what happened in Sweden (from a Swede):

Diversity is Our Strength: If You Want Murder, Crime, Decay, Rape and Even Bombings (from Nov 2021)   

From Peter Imanuelsen (PeterSweden) on Substack

You may have heard that Sweden has a rape crisis, but did you know that Sweden also has a bombing crisis?

If you only read the mainstream media, you might never have heard about it, but Sweden has a shockingly high number of bombings. Some people on the left have tried to brush it away as "just being firecrackers", but the fact is that we are dealing with powerful explosives. Hand grenade attacks and IED's. We are dealing with weapons of war.

In fact, things are getting so bad that innocent children and elderly are now being killed in bombings and grenade attacks!

That is not something you would expect to happen in Sweden. Hand grenade attacks. What happened to my once peaceful home country?

In fact, things are so bad that bombings have become a normal everyday occurrence. We are not talking about 1 bombing every month or so. No! In 2019, Sweden had on average almost 5 bombings every single week.

Things are so bad, that in the last 5 years there has been a shocking 997 incidents involving explosives.

Almost 1000 detonations, attempted bombings and preparations for bombings in just 5 years. That is insane! 

A few years ago in Sweden, an 8 year old boy was sound asleep in a family apartment in the city of Gothenburg. Then at around 3 am, out of nowhere a massive explosion was heard. The whole apartment was filled with smoke and chaos ensued. A hand grenade had just been thrown in through the window that was facing the street.

His parents had carried him out of the apartment to safety without realizing exactly what had happened. Only when they stood in the stairwell did they see that his head had been destroyed in the explosion. The 8 year old boy had been killed by a grenade attack - in Sweden.

This should never happen, let alone in a modern European country like Sweden that used to be known as one of the most peaceful countries in the world.

Rape Incidents in Europe

And there are more examples like this which I will talk about further down in this article.

One would think that this would be massive news, but it happens so often in Sweden now that it barely makes the news anymore, just like with the rape crisis.

If you have been following my reporting for a long time, you might know that I have been reporting on the bombing crisis in Sweden for many years.

The increase in grenade attacks and bombings in Sweden over the last 10 years has been insane. When I grew up in Sweden in the 2000s, bombings were unheard of. Now several explosions are happening every week.

It is a very worrying trend and targets range from family apartment complexes to restaurants and businesses.

What went wrong in Sweden?

Here's Gulfcoastcommentary's answers to the question: It's because The West is in the grip of an insane and entirely false delusional aspect of Leftism and their leaders who desperately WANT TO BELIEVE that WE'RE ALL THE SAME.   

IT'S JUST NOT TRUE.  ONLY EUROPE AND EAST ASIA (AND THEIR DESCENDANTS) HAVE MUCH HIGHER AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE, DEVELOPED OVER MILLENIA, AND HAS RESULTED IN REMARKABLY PEACEFUL, ORDERLY, PROSPEROUS, HAPPY AND EXTREMELY HIGH LEVEL AND CIVILIZED SOCIETIES AND CULTURES. MOST OTHE OTHER COUNTRIES PALE IN COMPARISON.  

I'm sorry that this is true and factual. I understand why others want to believe that everyone is "equal." Of course all humans have value and souls, but over millenia of time, some regions have advanced in remarkable and fruitful ways.

The Left's "equality delusion" is now destroying this advanced, essentially Euro-centric West: destroying beautiful, happy, advanced and peaceful cultures and 1000s of years of social, artistic and intellectual acheivement. And anyone who argues against this, especially with facts and real news "on the ground" are cancelled, jailed, deplatformed, de-banked, etc. Also see:

Michael Schellenberger's "Escape the Woke Matrix" Speech at UT Austin

Western civilization is being rapidly taken over by a psychopathological religion.

 

From Zerohedge:

In it, he argues that Western civilization is being rapidly taken over by a psychopathological religion, and that we must resist it by exposing it for what it is, and re-grounding our institutions in love of humanity, civilization, and freedom.

Shellenberger's work covers a wide range of topics, but a common theme is the distortion of history and censorship benefiting the powerful.

In this emotional address, Shellenberger discusses the negative effects of censorship, rewriting history, and the power dynamics it serves.

He highlights disparities between the real-world and the one we are delivered by authorities and 'experts - pointing out the decline in deaths from natural disasters and the fact that police killings in the US, including those of African-Americans, have declined over the years - among others, emphasizing the need for seeking out accurate information.

Shellenberger criticizes the selective disinformation campaigns and censorship surrounding topics like COVID-19, vaccines, and the Hunter Biden laptop; and argues that society is moving towards a new moral order centered around race, victimhood, and identity politics, creating a culture of entitlement and grandiosity.

Finally, Shellenberger points out the presence of narcissistic and psychopathic behavior in positions of power, calling for courage in confronting these cluster B personality types and emphasizes personal responsibility, optimism, and the need to fight for positive change while avoiding toxic ideologies.

As Shellenberger writes at his Public Substack:

"You can hear the emotion in my voice. The global crackdown on free speech has left me feeling angry and afraid. Despite my emotional state, or perhaps because of it, the students gave me a standing ovation at the end."...

"It’s not enough to condemn, we must also seek to understand, and explain. We are going toe-to-toe with an opponent that would put us in prison for wrongthink. We must stand up to their bullying, and break their hyponotic trance over the population. That is how we will escape from the woke matrix.”

 

Now, The Rough Transcript ( from His YouTube Video above and “fixed” by myself):

Thank you very much, What a great pleasure to be here.

You've all heard the news: climate change is destroying your future. Carbon dioxide is accumulating the atmosphere. The planet has warmed 1.1 degrees Centigrade since the pre-industrial period. Global warming is killing the Great Barrier Reef.

We also know that police killing black people is a pandemic. Murders of trans people nearly doubled

over the past four years. But there's more to this story.

Carbon emissions peaked in Great Britain over 50 years ago. The same thing in France, the United States and indeed over the last decade total Global emissions declined. Why haven't you read that in the New York Times or the Washington Post?

Deaths from natural disasters have diminished to a few hundred a year in the United States even as the global population quadrupled over the last century. They've declined internationally by over 90 percent.

The cost of disasters everywhere is on decline. Why is nobody telling you that?

As a result of declining deaths from extreme weather events and declining costs, what gets counted as a natural disaster has also declined. There's only one database that tracks natural disasters.

It's the mdata center in Belgium and total global weather and climate disasters have declined. How come nobody is saying that?

The Great Barrier Reef recorded the highest amount of coral in 36 years and maybe longer because that's the amount of time that we've been studying the Coral on the Great Barrier Reef. Why is nobody telling you that?

These are my books. After I lost all of my friends and all of my financial support, it was not a intuitive move in your late 40s. I decided to put all my heartbreak into a single book; Apocalypse Never, which came out in 2020. I had the Good Fortune of it selling and so I got to write a follow-up book which was to understand the following: why do people who say they care more than anybody else let people suffering from schizophrenia smoke Fentanyl and have the bottom parts of their legs rot on the street where they are then taken into the hospital and have the bottom parts of their legs amputated. Why did they then put them back on the street?

Why do we spend 10 times more than other cities on homelessness and have those outcomes? How is that compassionate? And why is it done in the name of care?

There are no racial differences in police killings when accounting for whether or not the suspect was armed or a threat, justified or unjustified. Everybody knows this. There's no real debate about the data. The one person has done the most to discover this is Roland Friar at Harvard University. You might have heard of Harvard University? And yet nobody talks about this.

Police killings of African-Americans declined from 217 per year in the 1970s to 157 per year in the 2010s in 58 of the largest U.S cities. That's based on FBI data that my colleagues and I personally crunched.

This is wonderful news!

Police killings of all races declined dramatically from 59 per year between 1970 to 1975, to 12 per year. Now the rate of police killings in San Francisco and Oakland did increase slightly, from 2.7 to 2.8 per year respectively in the 70s to 2.4 and 3.9. But police killings per capita in those two cities declined by 8.3 percent; when you account for the increase in population it also declined.

Researchers do not know if trans people are being killed disproportionately in comparison to cisgender people. Nor do they know if trans homicides are rising or if trans people are being killed for being trans or for some other reason.

There is no debate over this data. And yet CBS News irresponsibly and other news outlets suggest that they are, and that should upset you especially if you care very much about trans people. Because what you would not want to do is have a bad baseline for monitoring such terrible forms of violence.

Why in the world does everybody get it so horribly wrong, horribly wrong, unethically wrong not just analytically wrong????

Some of these things are easier to explain than others.

There have been major disinformation campaigns waged by senior leaders in our government. They instigated an entire FBI investigation based on a made-up memo that suggested that Putin controlled Trump because prostitutes urinated on him in a bed. My mother still believes that Trump is a Russian asset because of that disinformation campaign.

Labs leak all the time and have leaked for 50 years all around the world. The idea that Covid might have leaked from a lab was obvious to everybody including the scientists who emailed Anthony fauci on January 30th 2020. In their email to him they said we think it's more likely to be a lab leak.

Several days later Fauci perpetuated a disinformation campaign that suggested that you were a racist for suggesting that the covid-19 virus came from a lab but not a racist if you thought it came from Chinese people eating bats. That happened!

People said it was misinformation to suggest that vaccines had side effects. People said that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation. Not that it fell into a bathtub because Hunter Biden was hammered and smoking crack.

Instead somehow the Russians had gotten Hunter Biden's laptop data and then got it onto a laptop and then dropped it off at a computer repair store. It was the most cockamami story, a conspiracy theory, and it was perpetuated by senior members of the U.S government both retired and employed.

And people say that the Twitter files just showed people doing content moderation not censorship. These are senior elected officials who carried out this disinformation campaign. We now know absolute certaintly that the FBI should never have launched that probe.

Here's the email from the senior scientist to Fauci. It said: some of the features potentially look engineered. The Furin (sp?) cleavage site that does not belong on the spike protein was obviously engineered and people knew that right away. And yet the Washington Post suggested that Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus Fringe theory that scientists have disputed.

The original headline which Washington Post changed, without acknowledging it on their article, said that he was spreading a debunked conspiracy theory. The Washington Post, which broke the famous Watergate scandal, spreads disinformation.

Fauci and his colleagues constructed a fake science article in one of the greatest, the formerly greatest medical journals (Lancet) in the world, suggesting conspiracy theories were what those lab Leak hypotheses were. The Great Barrington, declaration co-authored by a new friend, Jay bhattachary of Stanford University that Jay bhattacharya is a fringe epidemiologist: a full professor at Stanford University and one of the most beautiful individual people you'll ever meet.

And Francis Collins, the head of the National Institutes of Health, the greatest medical organization in the world, now formerly greatest, said that there needs to be a quick and devastating published takedown of his premises.

The Great Barrington declaration argued that the approach to the pandemic should have been the approach to the pandemic that everybody agreed upon before there was a pandemic --ie., "focused protection" of the most vulnerable but allowing children to go to school so they could actually learn something.

I don't want to make it personal but you do need to name names when you are uncovering bad behavior and this person, Renee Diresta, is the smartest of the people in every room she's in, and she's a former CIA fellow --ostensibly former.

One of the things that you learn when you interview people in the intelligence communities is that they say nobody retires from the intelligence community. Nobody retires.

This (she) is a person who ran a censorship operation, with U.S taxpayer dollars, that involved the Department of Defense, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Homeland Security.

It subcontracted out the censorship work to four organizations that was constituted by the creme de La Creme people; that went to places like Harvard and Stanford and apparently had their consciences ripped out from their hearts and their brains and got themselves in a situation of censoring the rabble, or what Hillary Clinton calls "the deplorables," for doing things like questioning the elections or sharing stories of vaccine side effects on Twitter and Facebook.

This was such a smashing success that they're now exporting to other countries. And there's nothing that's been done to stop this. Our work has not stopped this.

What Twitter did to Jay Bhattacharya -- they put him on a blacklist. The word Blacklist is not my word -- that's the Twitter internal word. You can see it right there in yellow on his profile.

You can imagine the shock that overcame Barry Weiss, Matt Taibbi and I when we saw this. He's one of the most important epidemiologists in the world and he was on a black list just because he suggested "doing things in the pandemic that everybody agreed we should do during the pandemic -- before there was a pandemic."

The behavior from the White House was remarkable. Thuggish would describe it, or bullying. Rob Flaherty in particular who sent this email to Facebook and got this response back from Facebook whose names we shielded--not the not the public officials --whose names should be known--and the Facebook executive said yes sir, yes sir please know that we are censoring even true stories of vaccine side effects; so mothers sharing stories of their children getting sick from the vaccine had their posts censored without their knowledge so that other mothers would not see them. This happened. And there's no debate about that this happened. 

Like Trump, Nigel Farage is Suffering Unlawful Persecution. The West Sadly Continues It's Trend Toward Totalitarianism

From Mediate dot com:

Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage may leave the United Kingdom after claiming his bank accounts were closed over his role in Brexit.

In a six-minute video posted on his Twitter account, Farage claimed he was the victim of “serious political persecution” after his banking group of 43  years told him two months ago they were close his accounts.

Farage did not name the organization but said he spoke with the bank’s chairman who claimed it was “a commercial decision.” He then told his followers that seven other banks have rejected his application for a personal and business account.

“I won’t really be able to exist or function in a modern 21st century Britain,” Farage said. “‘I’m beginning to think that perhaps life in the United Kingdom is now becoming completely unliveable because of the levels of prejudice against me.”

Farage then speculated that the political “establishment” in Britain was going after him for his role in campaign in favor of Britain leave the European Union. “They know, if I hadn’t done what I did, with the help of thousands of people in our people’s army, there never would have been a referendum, let alone a victory,” the British conservative firebrand claimed.

Last year, Labour MP Sir Chris Bryant claimed in the House of Commons that Farage was paid over £500,000 by Russia Today for his appearances on the Kremlin-backed network in 2018. Farage said these claims may have led to his accounts being closed while denying any wrongdoing: “I didn’t receive a penny from any source with even any link to Russia.”

The GB News host added that without a proper bank account he has become “a non-person.”

The US Government is Now a Giant Criminal Scam That Must Be Burnt Down

From John and Nisha Whitehead at the Rutherford Institute

This entire fiasco—indicting Donald Trump for allegedly violating both the Espionage Act and obstructing justice by improperly handling classified records—is merely the latest in a never-ending series of distractions, distortions, and political theater aimed at diverting the public’s attention from the sinister advances of the American Deep State.

Don’t allow yourselves to be distracted, diverted or mesmerized by the cheap theater tricks.

When we refer to the “rule of law,” that’s constitutional shorthand for the idea that everyone is treated the same under the law, everyone is held equally accountable to abiding by the law, and no one is given a free pass based on their politics, their connections, their wealth, their status or any other bright line test used to confer special treatment on the elite.

When the government and its agents no longer respect the rule of law—the Constitution—or believe that it applies to them, then the very contract on which this relationship is based becomes invalid.

This abuse of power has been going on for so long that it has become the norm, the Constitution be damned.

There are hundreds—make that thousands—of government bureaucrats who are getting away with murder (in many cases, literally) simply because the legislatures, courts and the citizenry can’t be bothered to make them play by the rules of the Constitution.

Unless something changes in the way we deal with these ongoing, egregious abuses of power, the predators of the police state will continue to wreak havoc on our freedoms, our communities, and our lives.

For too long now, the American people have played politics with their principles and turned a blind eye to all manner of wrongdoing when it was politically expedient, allowing the government to wreak havoc with their freedoms and act in violation of the rule of law.

“We the people” are paying the price for it now.

We are paying the price every day that we allow the government to continue to wage its war on the American People, a war that is being fought on many fronts: with bullets and tasers, with surveillance cameras and license readers, with intimidation and propaganda, with court rulings, lawfare and legislation, with the collusion of every bureaucrat who dances to the tune of corporate handouts while on the government’s payroll, and most effectively of all, with the complicity of the American people, who continue to allow themselves to be easily manipulated by their politics, distracted by their pastimes, and acclimated to a world in which government corruption is the norm.

We’ve been losing our freedoms so incrementally for so long—sold to us in the name of national security and global peace, maintained by way of martial law disguised as law and order, and enforced by a standing army of militarized police and a political elite determined to maintain their powers at all costs—that it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when it all started going downhill, but we’re certainly on that downward trajectory now, and things are moving fast.

Sorry to tell you: The republic has fallen.

The Deep State’s plot to take over America has succeeded.

The American system of representative government has been overthrown by a profit-driven, militaristic, corporate oligarchy bent on total control and global domination through the imposition of martial law here at home and by fomenting wars abroad.

Even now, we are being pushed and prodded towards a civil war, not because the American people are so divided but because that’s how corrupt governments control a populace (i.e., divide and conquer).

These are dangerous times.

These are indeed dangerous times but not because of violent crime or terrorism or illegal immigration. No, the real danger that we face comes from none other than the U.S. government and the powers it has granted to its standing armies to rob, steal, cheat, harass, detain, brutalize, terrorize, torture and kill American citizens with immunity.

The danger “we the people” face comes from masked invaders on the government payroll who crash through our doors in the dark of night, shoot our dogs, and terrorize our families.

This danger comes from militarized henchmen on the government payroll who demand absolute obedience, instill abject fear, and shoot first and ask questions later.

This danger comes from greedy, power-hungry bureaucrats on the government payroll who have little to no understanding of their constitutional limits.

This danger comes from greedy politicians and corporations for whom profit trumps principle.

Consider, if you will, all of the dastardly, devious, diabolical, dangerous, debilitating, deceitful, dehumanizing, demonic, depraved, dishonorable, disillusioning, discriminatory, dictatorial schemes inflicted on “we the people” by a bureaucratic, totalitarian regime that has long since ceased to be “a government of the people, by the people and for the people.”

  • Americans have no protection against police abuse.

  • Americans are little more than pocketbooks to fund the police state.

  • Americans are no longer innocent until proven guilty.

  • Americans no longer have a right to private property.

  • Americans no longer have a say about what their children are exposed to in school.

  • Americans are powerless in the face of militarized police.

  • Americans no longer have a right to bodily integrity.

  • Americans no longer have a right to the expectation of privacy.

  • Americans can no longer rely on the courts to mete out justice.

  • Americans no longer have a representative government.

I haven’t even touched on the corporate state, the military industrial complex, SWAT team raids, invasive surveillance technology, zero tolerance policies in the schools, overcriminalization, or privatized prisons, to name just a few, but what I have touched on should be enough to show that the landscape of our freedoms has already changed dramatically from what it once was and will no doubt continue to deteriorate unless Americans can find a way to wrest back control of their government and reclaim their freedoms.

Indictments, impeachments and elections will not save us.

History may show that from this point forward, we will have left behind any semblance of constitutional government and entered into a totalitarian state where all citizens are suspects and security trumps freedom.

Even with its constantly shifting terrain, this topsy-turvy travesty of law and government has become America’s new normal.

From Clinton to Bush, then Obama to Trump and now Biden, it’s as if we’re caught in a time loop, forced to re-live the same thing over and over again: the same assaults on our freedoms, the same disregard for the rule of law, the same subservience to the Deep State, and the same corrupt, self-serving government that exists only to amass power, enrich its shareholders and ensure its continued domination.

There can be no denying that the world is indeed a dangerous place, but it’s the government that poses the gravest threat to our freedoms and way of life, and no amount of politicking, parsing or pandering will change that.

It is easy to be diverted, distracted and amused by political circuses and entertainment spectacles.

What is far more difficult to face up to is the reality of life in America, where “we the people” are at a distinct disadvantage in the face of the government elite’s power grabs, greed and firepower.

The Constitution doesn’t stand a chance against a federalized, globalized standing army protected by legislative, judicial and executive branches that are all on the same side.

As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, no matter what political views they subscribe to: suffice it to say, they are not on our side or the side of freedom.

That is the real betrayal.

The Crux of Our Black Problem, Part 2

 

THIS CHART IS WHY US BLACKS BELIEVE IN SYSTEMIC RACISM. Modified Graphic Highlighting the Bottom 50% of the Black Population Shown on the Left-side.

In my post The Crux of Our Black Problem, I try to explain the differences between the “genetic heritage” of US Blacks who arrived as slaves versus the European and Northern European populations that came to the North American continent. I propose that our cultural heritage, and our genetic heritage, explain the most fundamental traits of our personality, intelligence, interests and even behavior. There is a big difference between them. For all practical purposes, Many US Blacks don’t have much of a heritable culture at all. They desperately want one and often actively reject the prevailing White “culture.” This is fairly disastrous.

In the revised graphic from The Crux of Our Black Problem above, I highlight the bottom half of the black population with estimated IQ levels in blue rectangle. The stanford-binet intelligence tests indicate “intellectual age.” For a population with an 100 point median, the median is considered 18 years old, or an average white (western) adult. The Black median IQ at 82 corresponds to a mental age of 14.8 years old. 

Let’s Focus On Just One Genetic Heritable Trait for a Moment: Intelligence

The Blue Rectangle above shows that ONE HALF of all blacks are BELOW 14.8 years mental age. Again, this is not that unusual in the world (and is not intended to be mean or derogatory), but it stands-out as dramatically low compared to the Anglosphere and the high IQ populations in East Asia. That ONE HALF below the median of 82 points stands out as “seriously limited” intellectually.

You would expect that HALF of black persons, who are low functioning would have difficulty coping with the ordinary requirements and demands of modern/daily life. With a mental age of ~12 to 14.8 yo, it’s quite easy to easily see that ONE HALF of Black kids are UNABLE to graduate from high school. And that’s what we are seeing. One half of Latino kids don’t graduate from high school.

From The Christian Science Monitor, they clarify that “The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) defines proficiency as “demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter,” which experts interpret as high achievement.” There is also an advanced level, a proficient level and a basic level for test results. Below is the NAEP results for Virginia in 2019. Note the “advanced” column (not highlighted) on the right:

From the chart, nearly 90% of Asian kids perform at “proficient” or “advanced.” Sixty percent (60%) of White students perform at “proficient” or “advanced.” For Virginia blacks, 19% perform at the higher categories. (All data here from VA.)

But about 56% of black students can do basic level academic work and do receive diplomas that “certify” to that students and his/her parents that they have met the standards for HS grads. Note that 56% of blacks can perform at Basic, 16% at “proficient” and 3% at “advanced.”

But that means that 44% of Blacks are BELOW “basic” —which may mean “inadequate” or unable to graduate?? Some 18% of Whites and 33% of Hispanics did not meet even “basic” levels—which presumably means inadequate/not able to graduate from HS. This is probably a fair assessment as 50% of Latinos and Blacks don’t graduate/drop-out of HS. It wouldn’t surprise me if 18% of whites drop out of HS nationwide.

This half of young Black people not graduating and/or dropping out should probably be expected to need extensive supervision and care by both family and institutions. Many find themselves in trouble with police and up to 37.5% of black kids who don’t graduate high school will spend time in prison/jail—it’s a large number. In the US, there is a plurality of blacks in prison, even though they are only 1/8th of our population.

The truth is that this country has a huge problem with criminality in young black men and black men in general. Young black men are prone to be criminals at rate at least 5 or 6 times more often than whites (10X in urban areas).  One-in-nine adult black men is in prison at this very moment.

Since Hispanics/Latinos score somewhat better than blacks, with their group’s median IQ of 89 or so, they also have many individuals struggling with the requirements of ordinary life. (And it doesn’t help that ordinary life struggles are worsening for ALL working class portions of our populations as our economy is hollowed-out by “globalization.”) Again only about 50% of Latinos graduate from high school. Many of them also find themselves in trouble with the police.

For ALL of these kids not able to graduate High School, many join the military or get basic jobs or even apprenticeships. It’s not the end of the world, though.

I’ve consistently called for trade schools for ALL the kids who are not “college-bound.” Practical skills, plus reading, writing and arithmetic that lead to apprenticeships would be enormously useful. Trade schools used to be more prevalent, but I’m not sure about that. Maybe someone could clue me in on this subject?

But, from a cultural standpoint, Latinos are better than Blacks at taking care of their own people. For instance, you’ll only rarely see a Latino beggar at street corners. It’s because they have deeper cultures, intact families and roots in church and community which allows families to take care of their own. Crucially then, they share a common thread or influence from our country’s European cultural heritage and are thus more compatible with the White population. That is a key, critical point. And there are far less Latinos in prison compared to Blacks even though their HS drop-out rate is similar.

Blacks are basically disconnected with Euro/Western culture in so many ways; but not all obviously. And, it’s true that it’s not their fault. Their roots are African as mentioned above and in The Crux of our Black Problem. Check out “Niggas, Please!” or “It's More Than Low IQ: White Culture is Rejected by Most Black Americans” for more insights into their cultural vacuum.

Good News: There Are Many Different Types of “Intelligence” or Talent

Remember, IQ was designed to predict academic success and it works in that regard reasonably well but are used with other indications of motivation, drive, social skills, interests, maturity etc. Not every field of study or human activity is academic though. There’s more to life than school, ie., music, art, performance art, sports, mechanical/repair, etc.

I’m going to state the obvious: there are many different kinds of intelligence. There’s emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, artistic and musical intelligence, mechanical intelligence/skills, sport skill intelligence. I believe that everyone is born with some skill or ability. The hard part is to identify your gift! But you have one! Take a look at the graphics below:

Different Types of Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence Vs Academic Intelligence

The Crux of Our Black Problem - Cultural and Genetic Heritages

THIS CHART IS WHY US BLACKS BELIEVE IN SYSTEMIC RACISM. APPARENTLY THEY NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHAT EVERY STANDARDIZED TEST IN HIGH SCHOOL INDICATED???

In previous posts, I calculated that 90% of the US black population have IQ levels less than the White median of 100. (Median of 82, std deviation of 13). This isn't catastrophic in any way by itself, as 82 is probably close to the world average intelligence, which by itself doesn’t mean much.

You see, in many/most parts of the world, including Africa, you will generally find much less sophisticated people who wouldn’t score well at any measure of academic capability. It’s just not their culture(s). At the same time, you’ll find these people are very charming; fun-loving, kind and playful. And who wouldn’t want to hang out with these kind of people? Africans treat white visitors in a special welcoming way. I know because I worked in two different countries in Africa. That’s what makes world travel so interesting and fun.

But not US Blacks. Many are quite horrible: so aggrieved, so miserable and often with bad and sour attitudes thanks to the victimhood crap foisted on them by Democrats. Democrats, in order to stay relevant, must keep alive 50 and 60 year old greivances long after the USA has MORE THAN FIXED it’s racial predjudice problems.

One time, I happen to listen to a Larry Elder radio show. A black lady called into the show and complained that Arkansas is so racist. Larry inquired what she meant about her racism. She eventually explained that "I can't find a job."

So, this nice black lady conflated her inability to find or qualify for a job as racism. Larry told the lady that Arkansas is a poor state and maybe she should live someplace with better employment prospects. But this is how everything is racist for US blacks. This and the chart above explains why blacks feel that everything is biased against them.

It’s More Than Low Intelligence; Their Cultural Inheritance Is Radically Different

Much of who we are is genetically inherited. Our intelligence, our behavior, our physical characteristics, our personality, our basic interests and preferences are all based in our genetic heritage.

White folks are very gifted with an amazing cultural (and genetic) heritage. The White race, with European roots that date back to ancient Rome and Greece cultures, came to this wild and mostly empty continent and masterminded the most vibrant, free, prosperous and advanced society in human history,

In contrast, he non-European Africans have a very different “genetic inheritance” that's not the White European culture. Christianity mostly passed them by (but Islam didn't). The Rennaissance passed them by. The 18th century Enlightenment passed them by. EVERY IMPORTANT INTELLECTUAL, ARTISTIC, PHILOSOPHICAL, CULTURAL, POLITICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCE PASSED THEM BY. ADAM SMITH PASSED THEM BY. EVERYTHING IMPORTANT PASSED THEM BY. It continues to pass them by hundreds of years later.

As a result US Blacks, descended from Africa, often don't understand much of "western" values and culture that we take for granted. They don’t even care much for Western music—-just look at all the “reaction videos” on YouTube. They are always black folks “discovering” white music because it’s so foreign to them!

Everything that has been tried to equalize racial differences has failed. Even after 50+ years of desegregation, busing, affirmative action, income supports, lowered standards, welfare and Great Society "reparations," nothing has worked. The academic gap is the same or worse.

Blacks blame the culture of white people for their inability. It's really just an excuse.  It's really that they fail to understand that their lack of intellectual and/or academic ability isn't racism, it's just unfortunate. It's no one's fault, except perhaps their own attitudes. They are simply different.  

Despite our differences being no one’s fault, our political elites are determined to destroy our culture and denigrate White persons. First was desegregation. In hindsight, it was probably a huge mistake for the Supreme court to 'legislate' de-segregation because that's what people wanted and it "worked" in a way to create peaceful co-existence. Then South Africa HAD TO BE punished for their “white rule.” They submitted to all the economic sanctions and coercion. Blacks were then put in charge, and after about 20 years, the country is nearing a catastrophic collapse as their electrical power grid is about to collapse and can’t be restarted. All this because we can't be honest about Black "culture" and intelligence or the lack thereof.

Because We Can’t Be Honest About Our Differing Cultural and Genetic Heritages

It’s become apparent that peaceful mixing of the races and even minimal education and improvement of the US black condition is shown to be nearly impossible, mostly due to genetic differences/inheritances between races, there are now efforts by the Democratic Party to bring down White and overall acheivement to a lower level to "be fair." Basic education is being re-designed to dumb-down everyone to a MUCH lower level.

We're told by blacks that objective, rational and linear thinking is Whiteness, therefore it's racist and we can’t have that! Blacks call it racist because they have so little of this logical capability. Music theory is racist because they can't understand the theory. Math is racist because they can't do it. BLM claims that intact family units are racist because they have so little of that. All of these things now feel foreign to Black people. Blacks are rarely excel in STEM: science, technology, math or engineering (where the good-paying jobs are). 90% of black kids can't understand much of this. That's why they call it "racist" now. Everything is racist! 

History must be re-written to conform to this new Marxist thought. See: Whites Demonized, Racist BLM & "Blackness" Promoted: Re-writing History.  White civilization is being denigrated and degraded as evil or inferior or racist to make blacks "feel" better. The "woke" bullshit is part of it: "Woke" is simply Black Hatred of White Civilization: Even "Half-Blacks" Bring Disorder and Chaos. Also See my post:  Democrat Nihilism: Anti-white, Anti-male, Anti-straight, and Anti-Faith.

We owe all this bullshit to MARXIST DEMOCRATS, now that they are entirely the "party of Black."

So, our outstanding legal, scientific, artistic, cultural heritage (white European heritage) , is now being thoroughly discredited as if it didn't happen!! Yes, Whites owe other races for their braun and energy, but our country and culture was entirely masterminded by White persons. But now White persons are enemy #1 to the “party of black.”
