Tin foil hat stuff for sure. How do people come up with that weird crap?
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Tribunals? If the right actually held tribunals, they wouldn't be the right (or at least what they're supposed to stand for). That guy is ten donuts short of a dozen.

Between Powel, Wood and the two Generals, Flynn and McInerney, the stories being told are incredible.

Top it all off with the Q Anon stuff and ...

In other areas of conspiracy world I've read stories of a break between the old guard and new guard of the behind the scenes rulers. This is what is going on behind the scenes and why things seem so crazy.

I'm pretty comfortable rejecting nearly everything our media tells us as lies, distortions, partial truths, sophisticated propaganda and psychological manipulation, particularly regarding politics.

What to actually believe regarding what is really going on in the political realm is much more difficult to suss out.



For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

One of SWMBO's more tinfoil-hat acquaintances just Messenger'd a video of sumdood claiming that Special Forces were embedded in the Capitol rioters, that they took laptops from key reps' offices, that the laptops contained smoking-gun-level info, and that Trump was acting on it in secret as we speak. He then spent ten minutes begging everyone to have at least two weeks of non-perishables on hand right now because crap's about to get real. The acqaintance was at levitation-level frothing that we need to go to the store RIGHT NOW!!

Thankfully the cute kittens video I was watching kept my head from exploding, though the mention of emergency rations did remind me we're only two months from severe weather season and I need to start checking supplies.

They won't need to go jackboot on us, rounding us up.

They will just keep denying us access to things one by one.

Gun owners refusing to comply with voluntary buy backs will be denied bank accounts, credit and access to health care. They will freeze your retirement accounts. Non-compliant gun owners will be unemployable.

We will either submit to survive or be denied everything needed to live modern life.

They have plenty of time. No hurry.

Who you going to go out and shoot or go to war with?


I guess that is possible, but then you would have a bunch of gun owners (a portion of whom won't give up) who have nothing to lose and would be living outside the world of electronic tracking.  Kind of sets up a dangerous situation.

Quote
Hotel giant Marriott International, the health insurance network Blue Cross Blue Shield, bank holding company Commerce Bancshares and Citibank, all told Popular Information, a political newsletter run by ThinkProgress founder and editor Judd Legum, that they will stop donating to any member of Congress who objected to the certification of the Electoral College vote.

Popular Information surveyed 144 corporations that had, through their corporate PACs, donated to one or more of the eight senators who opposed the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s win.

In addition to the vows to indefinitely suspend donations, Bank of America, Ford Motor Co. and AT&T all said they will take recent events into consideration before making future donations, while CVS Health Corp., Exxon Mobil, FexEx and Target said they are reviewing their political giving.

Marriott’s PAC donated $1,000 to the campaign of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) during the 2020 cycle and another $1,000 to Hawley’s leadership PAC, but the company told Forbes it will “pause” donations to those who voted against certification, including House members.

Blue Cross Blue Shield’s PAC, known as BLUEPAC, donated nearly $12,000 in total to Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Roger Marshall (R-KS) and Hawley in the 2020 cycle, but told Popular Information it is suspending support to all 147 Republicans who voted "to subvert the results of November’s election by challenging Electoral College results."

Commerce Bancshares donated $2,500 to Marshall during the 2020 cycle, but told Popular Information it has "suspended all support for officials who have impeded the peaceful transfer of power."

Citibank’s PAC donated $1,000 to Hawley during the 2020 cycle, but said in an internal memo obtained by several news outlets on Sunday that it will “not support candidates who do not respect the rule of law” and will “pause contributions" from its PAC for the rest of the quarter.

A spokesperson for JP Morgan Chase & Co told Forbes it plans to suspend donations to both parties from its political action committee – which gave $1,000 to Marshall – for six months, with executive Peter Scher arguing in a statement “the focus of business leaders... should be on governing,” and adding, “There will be plenty of time for campaigning later.”

JP Morgan Chase may have the right idea.  As for the rest, seems to be virtue signaling.  The amounts previously donated are all pretty small.

Gotta wonder what skeletons he had in his closet that the tech mafia threatened to expose.
Or, are they up to threatening his family?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

The gaslighting is epic.

We are watching a color revolution taking place before our eyes.

Everything in the media was pretty fake before all of this so I'm certainly not believing anything being reported now that the leftists have assumed and asserted control of everything.

Probably a leftist to start with.  He took the gig because it paid well, stuck with it until pressure from family, friends and peers overcame his natural greed.
Or, he's virtue signaling.  Or both.
