There is a major battle in the US that most media are barely mentioning
On the one hand Joe Biden calls political opponents Domestic Terrorists, and delivers speeches flanked with marines. The FBI are raiding the homes of his main political adversary and his supporters too, knocking on doors based on nothing more than anonymous tips, without search warrants. They demand answers to ridiculous questions, the only purpose of which can be intimidation or fishing trips. Lines in the sand are being crossed here that we never thought would be crossed in America. Things that ought to have the whole nation (and allies) standing to attention. Personal communications with lawyers used to be confidential, “not any more”. How do we explain the hunt for someone’s daughters’ Instagram posts?
Against that dark background, something great is unfolding in Florida and other states. Ron de Santis delivers a great speech below, laying out how he’s fighting back against the Tech Giant Oligarchs, the WEF, the UN, Woke ideology, school indoctrination, gender change surgery on children, forced injections, and election fraud. We’ve discussed the State fightback against the influence of BlackRock and ilk which abuse their fiduciary duty with retirement funds to force ESG on hapless corporations. It’s a Christmas wish list of free men against corruption and tyranny. And he’s not just talking about it, but winning battles, and many Americans are loving it. They’re leaving crime ridden, high taxing Democrat states to come to Florida in record numbers.
The Tucker Carlson reporting from two days ago should give anyone chills, but the Ron de Santis speech below that would give citizens of democracy hope (and a handbook for how to win). The US may yet be saved by the strength of the States.
Purges in America: Are you now, or have you ever been a Trump supporter?
The morning after Joe Biden’s Red Sermon demonized 74 million Americans, armed agents from the FBI started turning up at Trump supporter’s homes. It starts with Biden equating domestic protests with 9/11 mass terrorist deaths:
So, you’re slack-jawed watching something like this. Did I just see that? And I’m quoting “I began by asking the vice president about how over two decades our focus has had to shift from foreign terror to the threat within.”…
It can’t possibly be about January 6, the fake insurrection, the only insurrection in history with no guns, the insurrection in which the only person shot to death was a Trump supporter.
No, the point of this is to suppress political dissent, to hobble an entire political party and to keep any of these people from ever participating in American politics again. …
From 6:50 especially unfolds the Stasi-like program apparently designed to scare ordinary citizens into silence. If it works in the US, presumably it will not be long before similar programs spread to the rest of the West.
Tucker Carlson:
[The Day after the Red Sermon] …at 8:30 a.m, a woman called Lisa Gallagher was sick in bed at her home in suburban New Jersey.
Her daughter came upstairs and told her that the FBI was waiting outside. Now, Lisa Gallagher is not a criminal, never has been. She is an active Trump supporter, particularly on Facebook. She did Trump (flag on her lawn). She’s a patriotic American. She describes herself as a rule follower. She’s never once been in trouble with the law at any level, and she had nothing whatsoever to do with January 6 and yet, outside her door with three FBI agents with guns. “We got an anonymous tip you were at the Capitol on January 6.” That’s what they said. Gallagher was terrified. “I thought they were going to take me out of here in handcuffs,” she told the show this morning.
Ultimately, her husband came home and the two of them showed the FBI agents her daily calendars from January of 2021 and finally convinced the agents that she was not at the Capitol that day. Imagine armed FBI agents showing up at your house because you supported Trump on Facebook and demanding records of your whereabouts on a date nearly two years ago and of course, the FBI already knew that Lisa Gallagher was not there because they have sophisticated facial recognition software, so they were never planning to arrest her. The point (and this is a theme in every authoritarian regime), the point was to use government agents to intimidate enemies of the regime on the basis of an anonymous tip….
Amy Kremer, for example, is a former Tea Party member and a candidate for the House of Representatives. She also obtained special permits for the National Park Service, which authorized Donald Trump’s rally on January 6, 2021. To be perfectly clear, Amy Kremer never went to the Capitol on that day. She never encouraged anyone else to go, either. But for the crime of organizing a lawful political event, an election justice rally protected by the Constitution, Amy Kremer is now being terrorized by Merrick Garland’s DOJ.
On Wednesday morning, FBI agents showed up at her home, first at the home of her ex-husband, carrying a subpoena for her daughter Kylie. Kremer received a call from Kylie’s stepmother saying, “The FBI is here for her.” The FBI subpoenaed demands, all communications from Amy Kremer and Kylie, including their social media posts (what) from October 1st, 2020 to the present day.
Now, why would the FBI, Joe Biden’s FBI need Amy Kremer’s daughter’s Instagram posts? Because this isn’t about the events leading up to January 6. Obviously, it’s about mining all of her personal information.
This is harassment on political grounds. It’s illegal. It’s unconstitutional. It shocks the conscience of everyone who sees it, but the number of people who see it is very small because it is not covered by any media and it’s not just happening to Amy Kremer.
Hope against Woke, Tech Giants, BlackRock, propaganda and medical crime rises in Florida
Sometimes all it takes is one man to stand his ground, and the idea catches on.
These are just some snippets below, but I watched it all (at speed) and it was worth it. I almost never watch more than five minutes on Youtube. Conservative parties all around the world could design whole campaigns from this one speech…
16:00 Less Government means a bigger economy: Florida has three million more people than the state of New York …but the New York government budget is twice the size. In Florida for half the money they manage the roads and the services and have higher ranked K – 12 schools, and “we do all of that with no income tax and the second lowest per capita tax burden in the country.” Nice.
26:00 Open borders — In response to mass illegal immigration across the Southern Border, Ron De Santis banned Sanctuary Cities in Florida, and announced that if anyone buses in illegal aliens he was going to reroute the buses to Delaware and other “sanctuary” states. Apparently he hasn’t had to do that, because they didn’t send any buses and the Governor of Texas started rerouting buses to sanctuary cities himself. De Santis argues that the people who make these rules need to live with the consequences.
29 mins Election Security: To improve election security De Santis made ballot harvesting is a third degree felony. He’s also banned mass mailing of ballots, and insisted that people need voter ID to get an absentee ballot. Somehow, he also banned Zucker-bucks. (Funding from Mark Zuckerberg or presumably any oligarch to help state officials with the infrastructure of elections). If they do that here, he said, they’re going to jail.
33:00 On schools — “We’re not going to have CRT (critical race theory), or Woke ideology imposed on our vulnerable children. We’re getting American Civics back in our schools.” Every November 7th students will learn how communist regimes end up killing millions of people.
He also has a plan to stop it occurring in corporations too to prevent people being de facto forced to declare allegiance to ESG or Woke doctrines. In Florida you do not have to self flagellate to keep your job.
47:00: On Big Tech Monopolies — de Santis declares that the Tech Giants are dangerous monopolies: To paraphrase — They are not private entities, they are doing the governments bidding, they are essentially an arm of the state. They have meetings at the Whitehouse to discuss who to censor. The Silicon Valley oligarchs are imposing an orthodoxy on this country.
The solution is the legal recourse against selective politically biased enforcement. The Tech Giants can “set their own rules” he says, but if they discriminate based on people’s views, they are committing a fraud. They told customers that they are open platform. Florida citizens will have the right to sue when the Oligarchs punish them for their political views.
De Santis is warning everyone in the free world to toughen up because everyone who fights for their rights will feel the pushback.
Nice republicans (and ones with comfy sinecures) are still caving in too easily. De Santis warns:
“They’re playing for keeps. A leader has got to be willing to take the arrows to achieve anything.”
The stakes are high. As David Evans says: “Rig just one election, and you have to rig every election thereafter because you are afraid the other side will investigate what happened and throw the wrongdoers in jail. Before you know it, you have to fix the system permanently.”
It’s a do or die battle. Small crimes beget bigger crimes, and the quickening is here. The race is on between the forces of censorship and those with the right message. So when you see a useful message, help it along…
Joe Biden’s Red Sermon Transcript
It is shocking how political tactics and violations of US Constitutional rights are being allowed to happen, and what’s worse, the legacy media and social(ist) media are silent about it or even actively complicit in it.
These are truly the tactics of a Third World dictatorship with Orwell thrown in for good measure
The Biden Regime has already tried a Disinformation Governance Board and social(ist) media is actively co-opeeating with the idea. https://reason.com/2022/09/01/these-emails-show-how-the-biden-administrations-crusade-against-misinformation-imposes-censorship-by-proxy/
Meanwhile in Canada, the Trudeau Regime is using supposed “misinformation” to politically persecute and prosecute with lawfare in order to destroy them, conservative news outlet Rebel News (of which the Australian representative is Avi Yemeni. Trudeau is turning Canada into a dictatorship ascwell. https://youtu.be/gI4hhN2x8U0
Biden and Trudeau are singing from the same songbook.
541
The Great Unifier Biden enacts the “who is not with us, is against us” policy. Two leading Democrats including the Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer openly talk about the “MAGA Supreme Court”, indicating that the Supreme Court is a threat to democracy.
Isn’t a party which hates one of three pillars of government (one that it does not control) a real threat to democracy?

It gets Better:
Ron de Santis flies Illegal Aliens to that haven of ultra-wealthy democrats, Martha’s Vineyard – democrats go into melt-down:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/09/marthas-vineyard-homeless-shelter-coordinator-melts-illegals-flown-island-move-somewhere-else-video/
Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, buses 100 illegal aliens from the border to vice president Kamala Harris’s home and leaves them at her garden ….. she is the “Border Czar” who refuses to visit the border and claims it is ‘safe and secure’ …….

Rig one election and you have to rig the next and so on is true, and it would be great that when the cycle is finally broken the payback is enormous to protect democracy but already I fear we live in a post democratic world.
631
Yes. That is a result of years of active assault against what America, and the West in general, stand for.
Most children and younger generations today don’t even understand, appreciate or value freedom or democracy. And all these anti-democratic views are supported by the Elites and their legacy and social(ist) media.
This view is supported by the World Economic Forum who actively promote the destruction of our society as they actively program “The Great Reset” through compliant anti-freedom politicians and the Left.
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/12/charts-that-show-young-people-losing-faith-in-democracy/
300
And don’t think Labor Australia will not copy the US Dems if suppression and repression show success. Andrews did it in Victoria as did McGowan in WA. Bullies can’t be allowed to prosper, forever. In the short term, however, we may suffer a few cuts and bruises.
460
Couldn’t happen here? It already has, on a smaller scale.
Just remember, no, NEVER FORGET what was done in NafDanistan at the height of the Kovid Kaper.
THAT was a “road-test”. boys and girls.
301
The only thing standing between a dictatorship in the United States, and also worldwide, and freedom is Donald Trump.
That’s why the Left are trying to destroy him at any and all costs.
The Left are analogous to The Terminator, they absolutely will not stop, ever.
https://youtu.be/zu0rP2VWLWw

Dissent.
I think Trump was an absolutely essential force for our side, at the time of his election. His presence – his win – has made it possible to fight back. I will revere his time forever.
But I think he’s made the mark that he can make. I hope he acts behind the scenes as a kingmaker, an old hand keeping watch over the youngsters. But I also hope he steps aside now for the next group.
He now attracts too much unfocused, ignorant hatred for us to make him our standard-bearer anymore. And I’m not sure what else – what new leadership – he has left in him beyond glorifying past accomplishments.
And they were glorious. But we need to progress.
139
But who do you think would NOT attract unfocused, ignorant hatred then? You reckon the media, the bureaucratic swamp and the current dictatorial government would leave another strong leader alone? Who else has the intestinal fortitude to cope with it?
150
De Santis sure likes banning stuff. The irony is that he is accusing the White House and Big Tech as being the censors. So much for Land of the Free.

A Trump/De Santis ticket in 2024 is what the USA deserves
1320
“A Trump/De Santis ticket in 2024 is what the USA deserves”
Certainly what they NEED to get the US back on a positive track.
If they vote Biden again.. they deserve to go down the gurgler, because is the only place Biden and his cronies can ever end up.. !
381
I agree. They are the only ones that can save America, and the once-free world in general.
330
I hate to throw a spanner into the works, but the Presidential Candidate, and the Vice-Presidential candidate, cannot be from the same state. They must be from different states.
In 2000, Richard Cheney was a ‘resident’ of Texas, the same as George W. Bush. He quickly changed his residence to Wyoming (where he was originally from, and owned some property in Teton County, which is where Jackson Hole is). Mr. Cheney graduated from Natrona County High School, in Casper (where I live).
VtI
201
Perhaps Trump could change his residency to New York?
Is there a qualifying period that he has to be registered there and does he actually have to live there?
110
Trying to recall, but the day after (or before) the nomination by Bush was made public, that’s when Cheney flew to Wyoming (via Halliburton company aircraft) to become a ‘resident’, so it would seem that the time is not an issue. I know that for hunting privileges, one cannot apply for a license until six months of continuous residency.
Sorry I cannot be more assistance on this; yes, I know, the law is ambiguous, and this residency business is confusing, but that’s politics on this side of the Big Pond.
Vlad
71
Apparently there is no constitutional problem with the Pres and VP coming from the same state. There is some anachronistic rule which applied before 1804 when electors voted for two people, and selected both the Pres and then separately the VP.
https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/opinion/columns/2021/01/03/civics-project-no-prohibition-against-president-vp-candidates-same-state/4089264001/
And Vlad is correct about Cheney — though apparently he had represented Wyoming in Congress, so it wasn’t as purely expedient as it first sounds.
Presumably parties prefer two candidates to lift the vote in two different states. In this case the personalities transcend the borders…
110
I’ve never heard this before and it is interesting. However residency periods are short enough that this should not really be a problem.
I like the idea of a Desantis-Trump ticket! As VP Trump could continue building MAGA candidates. Also make a DeSantis “sudden ending” very unlikely.
90
A very sensible comment Peter.
91
My nemesis Peter F
without the /snarc tag.
I can only conclude that Peter does really know what we deserve.
Good onya and thank you Peter!
110
De Santis is very proactive, bussing and flying illegal immigrants into Kamala Harris’s backyard and demanding the Biden Administration ‘do its job and secure the border.’
130
They’ve already got what half it deserves.
00
What has DeSantis banned except all forms of sexual instruction (including LGBT and hetero) to very young children in school and the teaching of the lie and state-sanctioned racism of “critical race theory” in taxpayer funded schools?
Info about Critical Race Theory: https://www.heritage.org/crt
Woke parents can still indoctrinate their children however they please. It’s just not a job for the Government.
470
“De Santis sure likes banning stuff.”
Actually, things like “child grooming” and “racial vilification” ought to be banned.
Wouldn’t you agree ! 😉
330
And unbelievably, the Leftist social(ist) media platforms have banned the use of the term “grooming”.
170
…. because it is dynamite.
100
I would ban communism if I could. I would ban hunger. I would ban murder.
You use that word – “ban” – in a manner designed to make any type of change in government bad. If we dissolve an old statute, we “ban” it. But every positive change is going to encompass banning something. Stop giving the word an automatically bad connotation.
DeSantis would end many practices with which I disagree. Sure, he would “ban” those things. Good.
170
I just read in the Financial Times that De Santis wants to ban money managers who consider ESG in their investment decisions. All that will do is increase the cost of debt servicing for Texan borrowers. He really does make Trump look like a very stable genius.
623
Sorry, please use less acronyms and more real (searchable) words. ESG is what? Why should I care?
50
It is Environmental, Social, and Governance investing (ESG).
It is a Leftist concept.
At this link it is explained from a conservative point of view.
https://constitutionwealth.com/what-is-conservative-esg/
150
Definition is correct but it is certainly not a leftist construct. Companies that engage in unethical or risky behaviour do not do well in the long-run. You will find that every multinational bank and investment company has an ESG policy these days.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/environmental-social-and-governance-esg-criteria.asp
220
ESG will generally lead to risky and unethical behaviour .. by definition. !
Companies are not putting their shareholders first, but bowing to some wishy-washy agenda.
It is a virtue-signalling mechanism being forced onto businesses and society by the oligarchs.
132
I like Glenn Beck’s take on ESG. He nails it. However, Simon is right about every multinational having ESG policies – go and take a look at their websites, it will be there. Not a good thing, especially when the right thing to do is actually a matter of opinion, and not ‘settled science’.
110
Hey, Simon!
“ESG” — — — READ the damn words! Here, I’ll help you:
‘Environmental’ — — a really, REALLY big concept for leftists, especially since they think that it is all going to hell in a handbasket.
‘Social’ — — just add an “-ism” to it to see what it really is.
‘Governance’ — — typical leftist is all in for total governance, and the more, the better, and the faster it gets here.
Hey, Simon! Dude!!! Look back a couple of posts, and see that you still haven’t answered my question. Since leftists like you tend to have very short attention spans, I’ll help you out.
You said that we are in danger of going into the ‘runaway greenhouse effect’. Remember that? So I asked you to name (within about one percent of the actual value) what concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere puts us into this mythical ‘runaway greenhouse effect’. You have yet to answer. What’s doing? Put up, or shut up. Or admit that the mythical ‘runaway greenhouse effect’ just does not happen on Earth.
Get with the program, dude, preferably while some of us are still young … … …
Regards,
Vlad
60
Fair go, Vlad!
He has yet to present any scientific evidence that atmospheric CO2 has any effect on climate what-so-ever..
.. so expecting him to go into any sort of detailed crystal ball gazing, is really being a bit tough on the poor lad.!
30
Is it a food additive?
40
” ban money managers who consider ESG in their investment decisions”
As they should… ESG is a far-left construct that destroys wealth and the ability to create wealth.
Managers should be always looking to obtain the best outcome for their company, and should never be constricted in doing this by virtue-seeking leftist agendas.
181
“He really does make Trump look like a very stable genius.”
No, Trump does that all by himself.. he has been proven correct on so many things that the leftists were clueless about.
“Stable.. Genius”…. these are human facets that Biden and his troop can NEVER hope to obtain, even with medication.
151
You are not correct. What a governor whose state I have the great pleasure of living in has done is ask that the Florida laws for fiduciaries be enforced; and that all investment managers operating on behalf of the state, such as for pension funds, act as fiduciaries. If consideration of ESG could be demonstrated by a fiduciary to have a positive cash return on investment, it would be tolerated. Suggesting instead a return on ‘social capital’ or similar political but non-financial gain was and remains improper for those holding fiduciary status (its a discrete legal term). Discrimination against certain classes of investment for policy reasons (such as oil companies) without specific direction from the client, is also improper. The news media, as usual flogged their own narrative rather than report facts, as delivered to all of us fiduciaries in Florida.
180
Should a state really be meddling in corporate affairs and telling investors what they can and can’t invest in? Sounds very leftist to me.
https://www.rbcwealthmanagement.com/en-asia/insights/will-esg-investing-hurt-my-returns-debunking-the-myths
111
The State can tell me I can’t give financial or medical advice. Is that socialist?
50
Should a company or bank be deciding that Joe Bloggs can’t have a loan or a contract because they don’t like his political beliefs? Jo got it exactly when she called the current activities a ‘purge’.
90
Should un-elected multi-billionaire oligarchs be forcing investors to invest only on the oligarchs’ terms.
Sounds like a dictatorship to me.!
De Santis is just trying to put a brake on the power-crazy tendencies of the likes of the WEF and UN as they try enforce their far-leftist / socialist-dictatorship ideology on the world.
121
For state-sponsored investments – pensions, etc – DeSantis wants a law that says that all investment decisions should be driven by concern for the financial performance of the fund, which is what a fiduciary is already supposed to do. He wants an end to “yeah, I know it’s your money, but I as the fund manager I am going to get you a slightly lesser return on your investment so that I can use that difference to coerce people into following my own social goals in spite of what you might want.”
I thought he was being charitable letting such people live.
10
Viva Democracy but not necessarily via a Republic under the likes of the current Left Wing proselytisers.
110
Pengy. I think you may have it ass upside down. Would be better: “Viva republic via democracy”.
My opinion offered freely.
21
Bozotheclown,
Penguinite might be thinking along similar lines to the American writer and general wit Ambrose Bierce who said this in his Devil’s Dictionary:
If so, he isn’t alone.
20
Robert Swan, I appreciate the angle you are positing. Though sloppy interpretation of “republic” deserves to be compared to sloppy interpretation of “democracy” does it not?
00
I have written this elsewhere in numerous forms, but why should we be surprised that fascism is coming to the U.S.? We all know that people who favor authoritarianism live in every society. The U.S. is no exception. Moreover, the Democrats have been telegraphing their authoritarian tendencies for decades.
Consider this. Democrats often brag about their smash-mouth politicical tactics. What does “smash-mouth” mean. Doesn’t it seem like a euphemism for those street rallies in another “our democracy” in the 1930s? Or consider this. Prominent Democrats speak about “Never letting a crisis go to waste.” How large a step is it to making the best use of difficulties to increase political power to simply making up a crisis in the first place to accomplish those same ends? Who can wait for a crisis, after all?
Or ponder Chuck Schumer warning Trump that the intelligence agencies have about nine ways from Sunday of getting back at you. Doesn’t that sound like those intelligence agencies are rogue and out of control, and not coicidentally that Democrats approve of it and maybe even benefit?
The Democrats lately have gone over the authoritarian cliff as Glenn Greenwald has explained. They no longer really fear accountability — or maybe all of this intimidation occuring before the midterm elections shows that they do fear it. Vote against them, darn it.

Unpacking the Apparent Trump-Hillary Double Standard: For Her, the FBI Helped Obstruct Its Own Investigation
By Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations
September 15, 2022
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch obtained evidence that a computer contractor working under the direction of Hillary Clinton’s legal team destroyed subpoenaed records that the former secretary of state stored on a private email server she originally kept at her New York home, and then lied to investigators about it. Yet no charges were brought against Clinton, her lawyers, or her paid consultant.
The leniency accorded to Clinton contrasts with recent moves by Attorney General Merrick Garland to aggressively investigate former President Trump and his lawyers for allegedly obstructing investigators’ efforts to locate subpoenaed records at his Florida home. Legal experts say the apparent double standard may provide a useful defense for Trump and his legal team.
The treatment of Clinton included a deal with her defense team that required the FBI to, in effect, obstruct its own investigation. During its 2016 probe, the bureau agreed with her lawyers’ demands to destroy two laptop hard drives containing subpoenaed evidence immediately after searching for files on them. They did so while the information was still being sought by congressional investigators and even though the lawyers had served under Clinton at the State Department and were subjects of the FBI’s investigation. In fact, the laptops were theirs.
Long before it bowed to the request, the FBI suspected Clinton’s lawyers played hide-and-seek with evidence, making the concession that much more baffling.
Trump Didn’t Get ‘the Same (Gentle) Treatment’

Mike Lindell Still Holding Out Against FBI Inside MyPillow Fort
90
FBI Reports Fantastic Night’s Sleep After Raid On MyPillow
Critics have contended that Mr. Lindell may risk being indicted for bribery if he offers a MyPillow to the agents, but even Mr. Lindell’s harshest critics have not been able to disprove his claim that MyPillow products are “the most comfortable you will ever own.”
At publishing time, Merrick Garland was forced to tie another string around his finger to remind him to investigate the Biden family’s corrupt dealings with Chinese companies, as he had again forgotten.
190
Here’s more leniency:
Remember Fangfang? .. Didn’t the FBI tip off Eric Swalwell that his deep and meaningful relationship with the Chinese spy, was actually her pumping him for America’s secrets…
I wonder if Eric ever wondered why their post-coital pillow talk was less of the sweet nothings, and instead mostly her asking about his job and the important people he met with.
Why didn’t the FBI arrest Fangfang? I thought spying was illegal or something.
Also, I don’t think they dragged Swalwell in for a sit-down to ask what she’d learned from him, so that he could LIE himself into a prosecution. (Similar to what they tried to do to General Flynn). Pretty sure that didn’t happen.
Amazing stuff: Eric still free to go on camel rides in Arabia, and continue mounting the Dem Party donkey, at home.
140
FangFang is probably a CIA double agent.
51
She’s a Chinese spy. Hands down.
No earthly idea why you would go there. Do you live in the US? Sincerely doubt it.
20
I remember when spies were executed.
30
This is scary stuff indeed and targeting innocent people at random is how they create a climate of fear within the community. All you need to do is wear a MAGA hat and you’re now a target. It’s now clear that the FBI and DOJ are no longer enforcing the law, but obeying their political masters and that’s what makes this so scary. This is why Biden can now brand all Republican votes as terrorists, because he owns the law enforcement agencies and the military. We are literally one small step from a junta.
And then there is the election rigging. Already, the mid-term absentee ballot requests from Democrat voters are outpacing the GOP by a huge margin. This is clearly how the harvesting is done. Massive numbers of absentee ballots that get requested by unknown sources and that never reach their destination. It’s an easy scam when voting is optional, provided you don’t have a voter ID check. Hence the confected outrage using the racism card when this is suggested. The people running the show work out how many votes they need based on the polls and submit them before polling day and if they fall short they have a backup plan where they do a midnight dump during the count. Anyone who complains afterwards is accused of being an insurrectionist or terrorist.
And don’t think we’re immune downunder. Just look at dictator Dan, who effectively owns the police and has created laws that drastically limit election funding to everyone except Labor, which has infinite union funds which are conveniently deemed legal. We can expect this model to become national.
Welcome to the one party state !!!
230
Serge,
Both sides can play the election rigging game . The outcome could become that more people voted than can possibly reside in the USA . As far as us here in Australia , look at voter turnout figures (as pointed out By Jo ) and realise that something is very wrong for a country that has compulsory voting . A big crash is coming and if that doesn’t change things we are probably looking at WW3.
40
I don’t think there’s much ordinary people can do about these totalitarians, but we should exercise our vote and vote against big tech, big govt and other left wing groups at every opportunity.
We can just hope that FOX News continues to call out these left wing extremists and always allow freedom loving groups the right to be heard.
Unfortunately this will take a long time to have an impact and I’m just hoping that the Biden and Dem’s extremism will see the them suffer at the mid terms in November.
Ron DeSantis is still the best leader to take up the fight and Trump should step down ASAP and forget about running in 2024.
75
‘ … we should exercise our vote and vote against big tech, big govt and other left wing groups at every opportunity.”
That would only work if future elections aren’t rigged, which of course they will be.
130
The only reason totalitarians are in power is because ordinary people let them get there. They didn’t pay attention, or protest loudly enough as each line in the sand was crossed. When the media is ignoring major breaches of norms we all thought were real, any message we can share is a form of Samizdat. There will be resistance to hearing it, and it takes an effort to share with those who would rather hope nothing in wrong, but everyone who pushes that envelope a little is on the right side.
We can do something now, but the longer we leave it, the more high risk any opposition is. At the moment we mostly have to deal with the social indignation, the hostile stares…
Those who can’t take those arrows themselves can still help and support those on the front line who do.
131
60
It was an insurrection of the unvaccinated.
When you are desperately working to defame and silence anyone that claims the vaccine was stolen, it means you subconsciously understand, but are unable to face the reality, that the vaccine was stolen.
Anyone that disagrees with the consensus is an extremist threat to the consensus.
And a threat to grandmas everywhere.
That the consensus forbade you from visiting in their last days.

But ‘Death-Santis’ (& you thought TDS was bad) has sent 2 flights of 50 illegal refugees onwards to the ‘Sanctuary city’ of Martha’s Vineyard (with over 440 vaycay rentals available) and the leftist residents have declared that they are now in a ‘humanitarian crisis’ and cannot possibly house or feed ALL these illegal immigrants.

Obama lives at close to sea level in Martha’s Vineyard. I’m sure he can house quite a few “refugees” in his home.
But, alas, Leftists rarely do anything to help others, either with their own money, opening their homes or doing anything else with their own resources.
How many “refugee guests” do you think Obama can fit in his property?

“features seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms… as well as two guest wings, “
Those will be big bedrooms…. Would house 50 refugees easily ! 🙂

Martha’s Vineyard in chaos after DeSantis ships migrants to liberal enclave
The posh liberal enclave of Martha’s Vineyard has been thrown into chaos by the arrival of two planeloads of migrants sent there by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to local reports.
Roughly 50 migrants were flown to the famed Massachusetts island — constituting what the local tourism board called a “humanitarian crisis’’ Thursday.
“This is an ongoing situation,’’ wrote a county emergency-management rep in a statement, noting that local authorities “are actively collaborating to develop a coordinated regional response.
“We have reached out to our State and Federal partners for additional and long term support and assistance.’’

As Sir Winston Churchill said in his famous speech at Harrow School –
“But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period — I am addressing myself to the School — surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.”

Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in
except to convictions of honour and good sense.”Essentially, that’s the leftist playbook. They are relentless and tireless, because they are driven by hate.

There were terms used in speeches by Biden and the Democrats which were quickly recycled and used here in Australia all the way through COVID. All mostly by Labor premiers. “Pandemic of the unvaccinated” was a Biden and almost next day Daniel Andrews was muttering the same mindless drivel. Every now and then I might scan through some ABC news, just out of interest sake. I am paying for it , after all. So did it yesterday. If there was a news piece regarding the Liberal party there was often a reference to “far right” policies. Or links to some shady “far right” groups. So, the media here are also following on from the US media, where if you are either a Republican or Trump supporter, you are almost a terrorist.

EPOCH TIMES ‘My Son Hunter’ Review: ‘Brilliant Biden Satire’ Reaches ‘Shakespearean-Level Tragicomedy’
The Epoch Times has delivered a rave review about the movie My Son Hunter, calling it a “brilliant Biden satire” that reaches “Shakespearean-level tragicomedy.”
Special praise was given to actor Laurence Fox, who plays Hunter Biden, in what the outlet called a “career-defining performance.” The paper also praised director Robert Davi’s ability to balance outright satire with a more humanistic approach to portraying Hunter Biden.
Less than a minute after the start of the hotly anticipated “My Son Hunter,” director Robert Davi and screenwriter Brian Godawa include an 11-word text scroll which (with tongue firmly in cheek) that both downsizes and heightens the expectations of what we’re about to see: “This is not a true story … except for all the facts.”
By doing this, the filmmakers somewhat defuse what is sure to be an onslaught of negative reactions from the mainstream media, its minions, and the dozen or so people who still think Joe Biden is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Had this movie been presented as a straight-out drama with a chronological narrative, it simply wouldn’t have worked. The sheer jaw-dropping, truth-is-stranger-than-fiction nature of the depicted events is so brazen, so self-aggrandizing, so outrageous, and so self-parodying, it all but begs for a satirical treatment.

As you would expect the US media just lines up in its silos. The New Yorker -“The Breitbart film is an amateurish, often batshit satire-cum-thriller-cum-melodrama-cum-propaganda-organ, which switches between modes with the unexpectedness of a Surrealist cutup”. The Guardian – ” My Son Hunter- the right wing Hunter Biden movie is for fringe lunatics”. If you put that movie on Netflix, it would rate its socks off, but of course, that would never happen.

The Regime’s ‘Operation MAGA Fascist’ Gains Ground
The only good news is that Joe Biden and the ruling class have a lousy track record at winning wars.
By Julie Kelly September 13, 2022
fter nearly two years of lies related to the events of January 6, 2021, the regime finally has admitted the truth: The widening legal dragnet to scoop up Donald Trump, his associates, and his voters has nothing to do with the four-hour disturbance on Capitol Hill that afternoon. It is, rather, a thus-far successful crusade to criminalize wrongthink about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
A barrage of subpoenas issued recently by the Department of Justice—U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves’ office specifically—against Trump aides is not seeking information about the Capitol protest but personal communications discussing what happened with the election and plans to fight the results. Graves wants records dating back to October 2020 “constituting any evidence (a) tending to show that there was fraud of any kind in or relating to the 2020 Presidential Election, or (b) used or relied upon to support any claim of fraud in relation to the 2020 Presidential Election.”
Targets must produce correspondence detailing “any strategies or options for ensuring the certification of Donald J. Trump.” Graves also is demanding information about how Trump raised money from “efforts to contest the 2020 election.”
Of course, this is what the January 6 hysteria has always been about. As the chaos unfolded on January 6, Joe Biden and his apparatchiks immediately denounced believers of the so-called “Big Lie”—the claim the election had been rigged, if not stolen, by powerful interests who wanted nothing more than to defeat Trump—and vowed revenge would come swiftly. “The totalitarian company line is any suggestion that election fraud exists is tantamount to sedition,” I wrote on January 11, 2021. “Americans who dare doubt the results, a popular political sport for Democrats over the past four years, are now vilified as ‘insurrectionists’ and plenty of our fellow countrymen want it punished accordingly.”
Oh, how their dreams have come true. Nearly 900 Americans face criminal charges for mostly nonviolent participation in the Capitol protest; lives have been destroyed, even ended, as a result of this cruel, vengeful prosecution recently rebranded the “Capitol Siege” investigation by Graves’ office. The weapons used in the first war on terror—secret surveillance, invasive investigation, armed raids, torture, and political prisons to name a few tactics—have been aimed at Trump supporters across the country in a show of force and intimidation.
“Operation MAGA Fascist” appears to be the commander-in-chief’s unofficial name of the regime’s war on terror against millions of Americans, which now is reaching a version of the Battle of Fallujah but without the bloodshed. (Let’s hope.) The unprecedented FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago on August 8 ratcheted up the fever of the war by a considerable measure—the regime’s desired response.

When Biden Attacks ‘MAGA Forces’ He’s Talking About All Republicans
By Marc A. Thiessen
The Washington Post
So, let’s be clear: When Biden talks about “MAGA forces” who threaten “America’s soul” he does not just mean politicians who don’t accept the 2020 election results. He does not mean the people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. He does not even mean Trump supporters. He means all mainstream Republicans who support life, limited government, fiscal responsibility and pro-growth economic policies. He’s using his “MAGA” slur to attack the entire conservative movement.
If anything threatens the foundations of our republic, it is a president who promises to put his “whole soul” into uniting the country, but then denounces 74 million fellow Americans who disagree with his policies and voted for his opponent as “semi-fascist” and “a threat to this country.”

And in a UK poll.. 97% want green levies scrapped. 🙂

And the other 3% were the Elites who received the Green Levy monies and voted NO……………….

The poll was loaded (would you scrap green levies to save on power bills) but still, if it gets people talking.
20
Seems a pretty straightforward question to me.
People obviously prefer to be able to stay warm and eat, rather than make a choice which.
Green levies are a huge burden on society, and wouldn’t be needed if the “green” agenda actually had anything worthwhile to offer.

That’s exactly the point. “Green” is a motherhood statement, until you put a price tag on it.

Who was Behind the January 6 Events?
The current anti-Trump and anti-MAGA witch-hunt is not about 2024. The Democrat DoJ is safe for two more years. It is about January 6, 2021. The target is not so much Trump as the idea that electoral votes could be legally contested on the joint session of Congress. Obviously, the DoJ violates core freedom of speech.
It also ignores the clear letter and spirit of the law regarding the joint session for Presidential elections. 3 U.S. Code § 15 – Counting electoral votes in Congress clearly provides for raising and debating objections against “all the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of the electoral votes.”
In the session that commenced on January 6, Trump had a significant chance to be certified as the winner of the 2020 election. Further, it was his only chance. Neither Trump nor any group of Trump supporters wanted a violent disruption of this session. For this reason, such a disruption was in the interests of the Democrat Party.
The narrative that Trump supporters stormed and breached the Capitol appeared in the media in the first minutes of the violence. It was sustained by multiple lies fabricated on that day and on the following days. Since then, many of those lies have been exposed, and previously hidden facts have been uncovered.
Moreover, the partisan DoJ/FBI investigation of the January 6 events have found no coordination behind the Capitol breach nor any arms, plans, or means to breach the Capitol or to disrupt the joint session. Only the leads toward Trump/MAGA have been investigated.
Most of those arrested were charged with trespassing or other infractions. The most dangerous weapon — a spear — was carried by actor Jacob Chansley, a long-time performer of a QAnon Shaman character.
Only 1,500 unwanted visitors entered the Capitol on January 6, the vast majority of whom were ordinary men and women allowed by the Capitol police (USCP). The USCP had nearly 1,300 armed officers, more than enough to protect the Capitol building against a few hundred (or fewer) unruly protesters.
With the currently available evidence, the narratives of insurrection and pro-Trump mob storming the Capitol, led to a conclusion like this: a man with horns and a spear, accompanied by a few hundred unarmed civilians, stormed and breached the U.S. Capitol, and caused the congresspersons to flee and hide.
Yet, Democrats like to compare January 6 to the War of 1812, when Washington D.C. fell to the army of the British Empire.
Thus, these narratives are wrong. Moreover, the Capitol was not breached – the USCP stopped defending it and opened the doors.
The key people overseeing the safety of the Capitol building before and on January 6 were radical Democrats or their appointees: D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser and her appointees MPD Chief Robert Contee and DHS Coordinator Chris Rodriguez; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (this position includes responsibilities of mayor of the Capitol, if there were one), Senator Amy Klobuchar, and Representative Zoe Lofgren. Nancy Pelosi had had overall responsibility for the Capitol police since January 2018.
Since then, we have learned that the FBI WFO have been lying and hiding evidence about the reported pipe bombs, which conveniently disrupted the work of the RNC but not the DNC. The FBI WFO has framed an innocent person. This fact alone suggests that those who planted the bombs were affiliated with Democrats.
In connection with January 6, 2021, the Democrat DoJ holds dozens of people detained without trial.
The hypothesis that the Democrat party and its allies are behind storming the Capitol, violent disruption of the joint session, and its improper resumption and conclusion deserves more consideration.

The Desantis comment on fentanyl got my attention.
I checked – USA recorded 45k gun deaths in 2020, slightly lower than the peak a few years back. In 2020, there were 56k fentanyl deaths, a 10-fold increase since 2014 and rising rapidly.
And it appears China is the main source; shipped through Canada.
West Virginia had the highest rate of drug overdose deaths 81/100k in 2020. DC was next at 51/100k.
110
Good point RickWill. Thank you. Do 56,000 lives matter?

The Yanks must accept a lot of blame for the fentanyl deaths. It was a US drug company that was allowed to sell it as a “non-addictive opiate” without being questioned. It was sold by the bucket load until the manufacturer was slapped with a fine. “Cost of doing business” type fine.
Im tired so I won’t search for details tonight.

And that’s what I liked so much about the De Santis speech. It gave me hope because he was listing the achievements they had already made, and the partial successes in the battles unfolding. He has many plans in play…
Can someone force the Victorian Liberal Party to listen to it all on replay until they can form a party that can offer a real alternative to Dan.
111
The GOP needs not only to win but to win BIG to reverse the country’s fortunes and to lend legitimacy to the trials that MUST happen. I think DeSantis can deliver that. TDS is incurable so a Trump win will be limited.
Thank you for your service Donald.

The very fact that they are so aggressive in suppression of any dissent, or actually any questions, on this issue is evidence that they are guilty. Who were the specific people who organized the rigging? Look no further than those who are most vocal, and who form and sit on witch hunt committees, and engage in witch hunts.

Dave, we still have what I call Hoover/Carter hope….it is possible to screw up the economy so badly that the fraud-resistant locales carry enough states to throw the administration out. I wouldn’t expect accountability…the problems of the economy will require full attention. A small number of abusers will have their stories made public; many more will quietly be pushed out of government service to the sinecures of think tanks, universities, and foundations. Our best hope is that, rather than try to resurrect the past, which would require more money than exists to try to save our dysfunctional cities, a new administration pushes a lot of government out to the states, and significantly downsizes the federal government.
The ‘wrongdoers’ can and will migrate to states where doing wrong is firmly established; not new but simply affirming an ongoing trend. WE want a deflection and a functioning society, not a blood feud, and a supply side solution to our economic woes.

“Wrongdoing” must be identified, publicly recorded and then punished.
Admittedly it will be hard to achieve.

Thanks for this post Jo.
The ugliness of government / administrative corruption of so many responsibilities such as; voting, law enforcement, maintaining personal freedom etc, is disheartening and extremely threatening, but the pushback, fight back coming from Florida is inspiring.
The enema has opened up so many fronts in this attack, but the good news is that the pushback team has seen the Holy Grail and should accumulate more support from sensible people.
