Quoted: I have to appreciate his reporting and intellectual honesty. If you haven't, you should read his article on why he left The Intercept. He's pretty far left, for the record. View Quote He's far left yes, but he's honest and a 1A absolutist. He began the Intercept for the very reasons he ended up leaving it. Sad and ironic. Another leftist journalist I wouldn't have never thought I'd ever compliment is Matt Taibbi but he's willing to call out the lies and censorship as well. |

I haven't seen "the right" effectively fight anything in that same time period, let alone win any significant cultural or policy battles. They can get as sick of it as they want.

As always... Glen is on point. His last appearance on Rogan is a must watch/listen.

Watch our closes allies and biggest voices we have in the media get smeared. Tucker carlson and Ted Cruz are getting trashed. I know both men are deeply flawed like the rest of us, but for fucks sake - we need friendly voices right now. We can't get anything done because we throw feces at each other like imbeciles. We can't organize for shit. Every single msm building should have protests in front. |

Quoted: I don't think so, every other purge has been against largely poor/uneducated populations. They don't have the manpower to take us all, unless they plan on allying with China. View Quote Yes, we keep saying some variation of this, but in reality it isn't going to apply. Yes, we have lots and lots of guns, way more than the federal government and military does. And there are a lot more of us than there are of them. So what, though? It isn't going to matter. The US government is the most powerful surveillance and murder machine ever concocted by man. It's really, really good at destroying its enemies. Consider the following: 1) While there may be more of "us", and "we" may have more guns on paper, at any given point at any given time, they are still able to concentrate their manpower and firepower on you in ways that you aren't able to do to them. 2) We try to obey the laws. They will do whatever they want, and have the people who make the laws backing them up. 3) They can and will operate openly. The "resistance" can't. 4) They can tap your phone, bug your home, track ALL of your internet traffic, read your mail, crack your pathetic encrypted messaging, and do all sorts of other things to you to surveil you that you can't do back to them. 5) They have trillions of dollars at their disposal to use to track and kill or imprison you. And they have the ability to print more where that came from if it isn't enough. You do not. 6) They know where you live. That can take you out one by one, while you're sleeping, and you'll never see it coming. And if it's an "emergency", if we're in some ridiculous "war on terror", they don't mind a thousand little Wacos to accomplish their goals. Because... 7) The media is 100% in the tank for them. The feds/military will be branded heroes, and you will be branded terrorists. I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer here, but this is the reality. It would behoove everyone to understand and acknowledge this. I have absolutely no desire to see the USA turn into a warzone. I have no desire to see any violence here whatsoever. I'm not interested in fighting some rebellion against the federal government. My interests lie in peaceful separation at this point, as I see that as the only real possibility of avoiding bloodshed. I'm just not optimistic that the other side is interested in peace at this point - they clearly want bloodshed now. This is all about implementing the Great Reset, and we're in the way. The Great Reset is ultimately about population control and reducing the existing population, so why not start with people who'll have to be purged anyway? |

The second video features the amazing declaration from former Facebook security official Alex Stamos, talking to the very concerned CNN host Brian Stelter, about the need for social media companies to use the same tactics against U.S. citizens that they used to remove ISIS from the internet "in collaboration with law enforcement" and that those tactics should be directly aimed at what he calls extremist "conservative influencers." "Press freedoms are being abused by these actors," the former Facebook executive proclaimed. Stamos noted how generous he and his comrades have been up until now: "We have given a lot of leeway both in the traditional media and in social media to people with a very broad range of views." But no more. Now is the time to "get us all back in the same consensual reality." View Quote They think they're qualified to tell us what reality itself is? 1984 is here. That's what that book was about, not just surveillance and oppression but a system so totalitarian that reality is whatever the Party said it is. |

Quoted: No doubt that helped them with this, but they would go here anyway.

This. This ball started rolling with the Clinton administration exploiting the OKC bombing. There was serious anti-fed sentiment after Ruby Ridge, Waco, and other ATF abuses. Bill Clinton famously called out patriots by claiming “you cannot love your country AND fear your government!” 9/11 just gave it all a bigger push. |

Quoted: I think states (via state government) are going to have to push back on the Federal government against this type of shit. "No, you will not treat our citizens like that". And I think if some states do, it may push toward a dissolution of the union. I pretty much think this may be a better solution than the potential for what may be coming. View Quote I doubt it will be more than token pushback. Plenty of state politicians want to make the leap to the federal level. They don’t want to screw that up with TPTB. |

Sounds like they were just looking for an excuse to roll this out.
I mean, I didn't agree with the protestors/rioters breaching the capital, but a largely unorganized riot from a mob without arms is a far cry from an organized terrorist attack. |

View Quote “Never let a crisis go to waste.” By this point, most of Congress is convinced every person who “stormed” the Capital was a white nationalist hellbent on murdering them. The people who want a domestic war on terror made sure to give them that impression. But let’s be honest, a federal War On Domestic Political Dissent was inevitable. It was on the cards since the 1990s. The only question was when. |

Quoted: Things were different before I had children. I admit it. I also feel like the people of this country aren't worth dying for. I don't want to feel that way and ashamed that I do. View Quote I know that feeling precisely. When I signed up after 9/11, I wanted to serve my country, wanted to do my little part to protect my fellow Americans. I don't even remotely feel the same way anymore. When I look around at all of the garbage people inhabiting this place, I don't feel like they deserve that sort of sacrifice anymore. Makes more sense to just keep your head down and get whatever piece of cheese you can squeeze out of the system at this point. And that's not a good thing, but I think that a lot of other people feel the same now. And then I look at my kids, and I ask what sort of world we're gonna pass off to them. I don't want them growing up in a warzone. I also don't want them growing up as slaves under a fascist regime. No easy choices ahead. |

Rhetoric like this, when put in to practice, will require a robust enforcement apparatus. It's all just words by Marxist politicians without a sizable physical enforcement element.
That's Law enforcement. As I've said before, Biden's administration will create an environment where many in LE will be tasked with some highly questionable shit aimed at fellow Americans. We got a sample in the reverse of what this can look like during this past summer when American cities were under attack with months of rampant destruction and violence. LE was told to stand down and do nothing in many instances.....and that's exactly what they did. We all watched America burn. Now that the left has Federal power across the board, this is where "standing down" will look like an easy choice in comparison to being tasked with targeting and going after the "enemies" of the administration. I wonder how LE will respond? |
