Putin Borrows DNC Talking Points in Using Violent School Shootings as Justification for More Police State Power

The school shooting in Russia is leaving the DNC of America with a real problem.  The narrative that America is the most violent place in the world because citizens are free to defend themselves against all enemies, foreign and domestic (and right now, our domestic enemies far outshadow our foreign ones, save for China, which finds itself in an unstable alliance with the DNC) is falling apart as these types of shootings, mass shootings, are becoming prevalent in many nations, regardless of their gun laws.  Violence is a human problem that is born from a land that is ruled by tyrants who cut more and more humans off from the constructive pursuit of their apex existentiality, their perception of a ‘life fulfilled,’ as rigid orthodoxies enforced with market and state murder push more and more humans outside the path of a potential of a life fulfilled on their terms, not the terms of the elite few who get to define what ‘fulfilled’ actually means.


Putin’s Russia has a violence problem for the same reason America does, it is ruled by tyrants who view themselves as being above the poors, the people they rigidly control, in thought and in deed. His answer to this violence is to be given even more power to murder dissenters by forcing even more gun control on the people, be they innocent of any crime or not.  As much as the DNC uses Putin as one of the fear producers, they are talking from the same playbook using violence caused by their oppression as a justificiation to be empowered to oppress even more.

Critical Race Theorists Destroy American Values, and ALL Americans of ALL Races Are Waking Up to the Hate Within

Critical Race Theory supports the unscientiific, immoral, illogical, anti-human idealistic presuppostion that white people invented evil and that only when we end all power of the white race can we hope to finally end the evil in the world.  They are creating a god in the white race, however, an Abraxan god, a god who encompasses both good and evil as Abraxas did to the Egyptians that followed him 2000 years ago.  The dialectical white supremacism of Critical Race Theory is becoming increasingly obvious to even the people that CRT allegedly purports to represent, so-called “People of Color,” a racist epithet that reinforces the white god Abraxas, who serves as the Devil that invented evil and the angels that will end it, the allies, while people of color serve only as a foil between the white angels and the white devils.


 

Free Beacon gives us the news straight and hard, as a black woman goes to a school board meeting and calls out the white supremacists hiding behind CRT, rightly identifying their tactics as being exactly the same as the KKK.

Diseny gets caught redhanded pushing hate and violence on its own staff, treating them like serfs, while Disney assumes the role of Lord of the manor, able to dictate to the poors the terms of their own existence, which is a perpetual acknowledgment of their complete worthlessness and unredemption.  Disney, like all of the proponents of CRT, serves the role of the perverse Christ, the anti-Christ, the upside down Christ that calls all to sacrifice their lives so the anti-Christ might live.  The innocent die for the perverse in this scenario, and the mouse is complicit in the tyranny.  Legal inurrection doesn’t go far enough in this headline.

More parents come out to resist the tyranny of dialectical white supremacism, white, black, and other shades in between, for we Americans, the ones who believe in  one king, the Bill of Rights, will and must reject this unholy priestkingism that the DNC, using CRT as the vehicle of power, is seeking to force on the land, to murder King Bill and replace him with unaccountable moral supremacists in the style of the Purtinacal reighn of terror of an Oliver Cromwell or a Stalin, not a Thomas Jefferson.
The teachers of this land who followed orders will not be forgiven or forgotten when the power of this cult comes to an end and their reign of terror is finally halted.  In Tenessee, parents are rightly identifying the child abuse nature of CRT that tells white babies they have sin skins and all other babies they have victim skins, causing them all  to hate their parents and desperately seek affirmation, or at least permission to live, from the authorities, the same teachers pushing this child abusing hate on our children, just following orders, but doing so gleefully, proving just how perverse state government schooling can become.

The dead man walking that is Joe Biden is incapable of putting too direct a face on the hate his party, the DNC, is pushing on the rest of America.  The Left, in this case fivethirtyeight, is chaffing at this silence, because their hunger for more power is insatiable, even if that hunger will ultimately consume them as well.
Here  is a thoughtful analysis of the words we use, or, rather, are being hoisted on us,  and how they eliminate nuance and eliminate the opportunity to deal with actual racism and bigotry in America, and our mixed history, which includes racism and bigotry, but is not wholly defined by it.

The implementation of this nonsensical ideology will be its ultimate downfall, as it goes off the college professor’s page and out of the propagandists screen and into the hearts and minds of average everyday Americans, who will no longer be able to pretend that this tyranny is just happening to other people in extreme places.   As Tenessee and Pennsylvania witnesses the abuse, the rape, the murder that comes from such hateful ideologies, the resistance to this CRT hell is only going to grow, and the necessity of the DNC, the State, and the Corpostate nationalists, now all perfectly aligned,  to implement more Bill of Rights violating policies will only increase, leaving Americans less and less able to deny what is before us today, that America has been taken over by non-Americans, enemies of the Bill of Rights, enemies of a republic, enemies of the poor, champions of the elite, the oligarchs, the billionaires who remain above the CRT fray even as they use it to destroy competion in a world in which technology favors the poors, the small scale, and they don’t want you to know the power you truly have to say no to their hate.
Israel Prepares to Invade Gaza as the MSM and Twitter Gear Up to Undermine Their Right to Exist

The current spate of conflict in Gaza between Israel and the Palestinians was triggered by Israeli house owners who, after decades of pursuing rent payment from Palestinians as per the initial agreement, grew frustrated with not getting paid and set about evicting Palestinians from their homes.  The efficacy of such a move can be questioned, but the justification of sending 700 plus missiles into civilian territory, targeting men, women,  and children alike, is not to be found among the family of humanity.

Still, the DNC, the anti-fascist fascists who use Nazism as a boogeyman to inspire Americans to surrender their freedoms, will do their best to encourage the ending of the Jewish state while claiming to be fighting in their best interest.  Clever, but only if you control the means of cultural production, as the DNC does.


The Daily Express, the bastion of DNC fascism and anti-Americans, as well as anti-semiticsm, is calling Israel’s threat to the Palestinians chilling, in a bid to use straight news formats to hoist pure opinion on headline readers as fact.  Of course it’s chilling,frighting, that the Israelis would seek self-preservation when threatened and murdered by a shower of missiles targeting civilian populations.

As usual, these conflicts aren’t so black and white, and Israel is not without sin in how they have handled this whole affair.  As usual, no one wants to humanize everyone, but rather, they seek to humanize their allies and vilify their enemies.  The Palestinian rank and file people, the poors, the ones who have little time to comprehend what actually is and what might actually be, are subject to the agit prop of their leaders, as are the rank and file Israelies.  No civilian deserves to die, be they Israeli or Palestinian, because of the authoritarian decisions their leaders make, but that is the situation we have in this conflict, with israel playing the role of absentee landlord tyrant and the PLA and Hamas playing the role of Terrorist organization seeking to win its power by murdering civilians.

The Letter Heard Round the World Calling Into Question the American Presidency Itself

Ex-Military leaders of the US are citing numerous concerns over the cognizance of the current President, Joe Biden, as well as the moves made in his name and by the DNC that seem to undermine the foundational standards of an American republic, namely, the concept of Rule of Law versus Rule of Moral Supremacism, the concept of the Bill of Rights as King versus the Priestking cultism of DNC orthodoxy.

 


In this first headline, the Telegraph,  known anti-American agit prop outfit aligned with the DNC, is casting the character and tone of the letter as being “disturbing and reckless,” once again using the forum of ‘straight news’ to hoist opinion as fact on its unsuspecting audience.

Ex-US military leaders in ‘disturbing and reckless’ letter attacking Joe Biden – www.telegraph.co.uk

Here we say the character of the letter being besmirched with question marks and exclamation points from randrlife, another UK outfit that appears to be aligned with the DNC. The trick here is to pass of as matter-of-fact that questioning the cognizance of a dottering Presdeint is itself outside the bounds of polite society.
The Blaze, a conservative publication, offers a more straightfoward headline that appears to not sway the public using opiion as fact, but, in this case, the simple fact of the letter, that it was created at all, advances the conservative narrative in and of itself, so no need to waste political capital obfuscating or decieving when simple fact alone supports your cause.

Redstate goes for a more subdued approach to their headline than even The Blaze did, offering a soft-language approach that might even lessen the effectiveness of the letter itself to the headline reader.
The warroom is focusing on another aspect of the letter from the officers, questioning the very constitutional legitimacy of the political party, the DNC, that appears to be following the Chinese Communist Party’s model, where the party and the state and the people are one, with no dissent allowed, and it does so with the complacency and even allegiance of the corpostate the DNC will protect using government guns and resources.

The situation with Joe Biden is this, if many observers are right, myself included, that Joe Biden is suffering from a mental deficiency that renders him incapable of doing the job as President, then that means it is more than likely that the handlers of Joe Biden know this, and they knew it before he was elected in a mass mailer election.
What they possess, theoretically, is a puppet that is willing to sabotage what little he has left of his reputation and legacy because he isn’t cognizant enough to care.  What they possess is a meat puppet that will give front legitimacy to an oligarchic state built on a castle of lies and utopian/dystopian promises that can never come to fruition, necessitating the silencing of the opposition that will clearly know the lies they tell.
This letter is unprecedented in its scope, though burdened by attempting, this writer submits, to deal with too many issues at once, burying the reader in a litany of what sound like wild conspiracy theories.  Still, the letter itself will prove just how fascistic the DNC truly is as it seeks to destroy the people who would dare write it, exposing the brutal reality of an America led by an oligarchy that turns to China for its inspiration, not Thomas Jefferson, and is willing to commit elder abuse to do so.
Bitcoin Set to Destroy America’s World Reserve Currency Status

The days of America relying on its currency status as the reserve currency of the world may be numbered, and it just might be Bitcoin, not China or Russia, that does it.  Without this special status, the United States would be significantly less capable of constantly printing new money as a way to pay for the numerous massive programs the DNC wishes to build and sustain.

US Will Likely Lose Reserve Currency Status in 15 Years, Hard to Unseat Bitcoin as Store of Value – Markets and Prices Bitcoin News – news.bitcoin.com

From news.bitcoin.com Kevin Helms Excerpt:  Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller talked about the U.S. economy, bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies in an interview with CNBC Tuesday. He said that he has “no doubt, none whatsoever, that we are in a raging mania in all assets.”Druckenmiller founded Duquesne Capital in 1981. He managed money for George Soros as the lead portfolio manager for the Quantum Fund until 2000. He and Soros made massive profits betting against the British pound in 1992.

He explained that the Fed’s policies and heavy debts and deficits will threaten the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency. “I can’t find any period in history where monetary and fiscal policy were this out of step with the economic circumstances, not one,” he described, adding:

If we’re going to monetize our debt and we’re going to enable more and more of this spending, that’s why I’m worried now for the first time that within 15 years we lose reserve currency status and of course all the unbelievable benefits that have accrued with it.

America Paid a Ransom to Terrorists to Save Its Fuel Supply

It appears the United States of America, under President Joe Biden, is willing to negotiate with terrorists on our most vital of areas, energy.  The Colonial Pipeline, which supplies 45 percent of the gas to America’s East Coast, was shut down to a cyber attack, and, it appears, despite the Administration’s initial denial, or at least feigned ignorance, the Colonial Pipeline paid off the hackers to regain control of the supplies.  This won’t encourage future assaults, certainly.

Colonial Pipeline Paid Ransom and Biden Team Has Been Buffaloing Us for Days – RedState- Right – redstate.com

From redstate.com Excerpt: Yesterday, Joe Biden spoke about the issue with the Colonial Pipeline, “I think you’re going to hear some good news in next 24 hours. And I think we’ll be getting that under control,” said Biden.

Then came the news from Colonial that they would be opening back up the pipeline they shut down after the cyber attack.

Turns out there was a lot more to the story that the Biden folks weren’t saying.

Remember when a reporter asked the Biden folks about the question of ransom and what they were saying to Colonial in regard to whether or not they should pay the ransom?

As we reported, Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technology Anne Neuberger responded that whether or not Colonial Pipeline pays ransom to these attackers is a “private sector decision” and acted as though they had no discussion with the company about it.

 

I noted what an odd response this was to such a national security threat and serious federal crime, particularly given that the Pipeline serves 45% of the gasoline and other fuel on the East Coast.

US Ex-Military Warn Biden is Not Competant and His Handlers Know It

100+ Retired US Military Officers, including Generals, appear to be taking somewhat of a page from the retired French Officers who recently warned their President, Macron, of a looming civil war threat.  While the officers in this letter didn’t warn explicitely of a civil war threat, the impliciation, that the President of the United States is mentally incompetant, and that his handlers must surely know this, could lead to such a state if you walk it out in its entirety.

President Joe Biden’s Fitness For Office Questioned By Over 120 Military Veterans – radaronline.com

From radaronline.com Excerpt: United States President Joe Biden‘s fitness for office is being called into question by military veterans who feel the country has “taken a hard left turn toward Socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannical government.”

In an open letter containing more than 120 signatures, retired generals and admirals challenged POTUS’ capacity to lead the military and the country, as well as the fairness of the 2020 presidential election. It was recently posted online by retired military group Flag Officers 4 America.

“The mental and physical condition of the Commander in Chief cannot be ignored. He must be able to quickly make accurate national security decisions involving life and limb anywhere, day or night,” the letter stated. “Recent Democrat leadership’s inquiries about nuclear code procedures sends a dangerous national security signal to nuclear armed adversaries, raising the question about who is in charge. We must always have an unquestionable chain of command.”

It appears the US Judges involved in the prosecution of Americans who entered the Capital on January 6th, 2021 are preventing these protesters/rioters/insurrectionists (allegedly) from communicating online during their trial.  The move appears to be mostly unprecedented and calls into question the political nature of the prosecution in the firstplace.

‘Uncharted waters.’ Judges are banning some Capitol riot suspects from the internet | News – LA Times

From www.wenatcheeworld.com Excerpt:

Beverly Hills esthetician and eyelash stylist Gina Bisignano was so present on social media that the federal criminal complaint against her practically wrote itself.
The story of a 52-year-old salon owner who charted a dark path of disinformation to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, where she allegedly grabbed a bullhorn and urged rioters to take up weapons, is backed by one social media post after another embedded in the Department of Justice filing.

There is Bisignano in her Louis Vuitton sweater, filmed in front of the Capitol talking about her business and hometown as the riot was getting underway. There she is again, addressing rioters with a rant about globalists, George Soros and stolen votes. And again, calling for weapons and gas masks moments before a rioter attacks an officer with what appears to be a baseball bat.

Now, Bisignano has gone silent online. She is not allowed on the internet. Not because social media platforms banned her, but because a federal judge did. If Bisignano goes online while awaiting trial, she risks being jailed.

China’s Hong Kong Using Same Tactics as DNC in Targeting Dissent Using “Fake News’ Claims

Hong Kong China DNC Fake News Silence Dissent

Hong Kong Uses Fake News Label to Silence Dissent – Brief

If you still don’t understand why the DNC and the CCP are natural allies, even as they are also competitors, you just need to take a look at this item  from the New York Times, hardly a bastion of conservatism, which reveals that the new Hong Kong under CCP power is using the very same tactics as  the DNC to crush dissent.

Claiming that their opposition is using fake news and spreading misinformation, CCP officials disguised as Hong Kong officials are shutting down anyone who dares oppose their fascistic-styled rule.  It’s almost as if the CCP is learning their tactics from the Corpostate Nationalists who use the same claims to cut people off from the markets and the public squares that these same corpostate nationalists control, or is it the other way around?

Hong Kong Pushes ‘Fake News’ Label as Media Face ‘Worst of Times’ – Singapore Daily News

From www.nytimes.com Excerpt:  The glossy pamphlet from the police, delivered to newsrooms in Hong Kong, declared: “Know the Facts: Rumors and Lies Can Never Be Right.” With it was a letter addressed to editors, decrying the “wicked and slanderous attacks” against the police.

The 12-page magazine, distributed Wednesday to news outlets including The New York Times, described the police’s efforts to push back against misinformation. In one instance, the department countered rumors that officers had attended a banquet with gang members, saying the police had held their own private dinner. In another, it accused a local TV station of smearing the police in a parody show.

“Fake news is highly destructive,” read one graphic carrying the hashtag #youarewhatyousend.

Officials in Hong Kong are increasingly seizing on the label of “fake news,” a common authoritarian refrain. The city’s leader, Carrie Lam, said on Wednesday that the government was looking at laws to tackle “misinformation, hatred and lies.” The city’s police chief has said a fake-news law would help fight threats to national security.
