How the Dems Get Foreign Money “Legally”

Freedomist MIA April 17, 2023

DNC’S FOREIGN DARK MONEY SOURCE EXPOSED – Foreign nationals are contributing to the DNC in open violation of election laws by funding DNC-allied special interest groups who then launder that foreign money directly to DNC politicians who gain more power and rely more on foreigners than Americans, as can be seen in their republic-destroying policies. One fat cat has been exposed. That fat cat is Swiss-born billionaire Hansjorg Wyss, who has contributed more than $245 million to the anti-American party’s money-laundering organizations.

Campaign Legal Center Director Saurav Ghosh told the AP, “The whole system is currently structured on this premise that we can take these nonprofit groups at their word. The reality is there is really no effective oversight to make sure money from a foreign national doesn’t wind up in election politics.” GO DEEPER

China Tells American Traitors that Sedition Will Pay Off

Freedomist MIA April 17, 2023

CHINA PROMISES RETURN OF GOLDEN CARROT – The CCP’s recent moves to strangle its semblance of a free market has been met with Western companies retreating from the regime. In response, the CCP is promising western billionaires a return to the promised golden carrot that is China’s massive emerging consumer market. Billionaires in western countries, especially America, have already shown their weakness for Chinese gold, trading American security, wellbeing, and freedom for access to the billion-plus strong market.

Xi Jinping mouthpiece Li Qiang is promising western seditionists a payoff for betraying American and western values and affirming the CCP’s desire to debilitate the West and condition it to accept “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. He told these quislings “China will open its door even wider to the world,” and the golden carrot is back so he wants these traitors to “share ore of the dividends of China’s opening up and development.”

IF Dems Lose in 2022, They Start a Civil War in 2023?

Freedomist MIA September 7, 2022

The same party that encourages ancoms to burn down businesses to get cities to shut down their police departments is calling their opponents dangerous. That same party is making it clear that IF they lose to the red tsunami in November, they WILL start a civil war, but a mostly peaceful one, to be sure.

Democrats Threaten Civil War If They Lose in November – redstate.com
Excerpt:

Republicans are extremists. That’s been the predominant narrative for years, backed by horrendous positions such as not wanting to kill babies and securing the border. As I write this, I’m can’t help but flinch in terror just thinking about the possibility of lower tax rates and energy independence. Truly, the GOP is an awful entity hellbent on destroying the nation.

Democrats, on the other hand, represent our better angels. Peaceful and a picture of sanity, they’d never do anything like demand the destruction of the judiciary if they don’t get their way. And certainly, they wouldn’t threaten civil war if they lose in November’s mid-terms.

Oh, wait.

They are now threatening civil war if they lose in November. pic.twitter.com/oYTe9PPoJK

Economic Parallels Between The Roman Republic And Modern America

Freedomist MIA September 2, 2022

The Roman Republic fell when 1/3 of the revenues were being paid into the welfare state. The Roman Republic collapsed from within, not due to external forces. You can only rob Peter to pay Paul for so long without fresh tax-payer revenue coming in to keep the system afloat.

Let’s consider the reality of the United States by looking at the Federal Budget. If Rome fell when 33% of revenues were going into the welfare system, and the whole economy collapsed under that weight, it would be fair to say that America is less than that as we have not collapsed. Look at the numbers, and we will see:

In fiscal year 2020, look at the mandatory programs:

• Social Security: $1.092T
• Medicare: $694B
• Medicaid: $447B
• Other Mandatory Programs: $743B

Those total $2.975 trillion. The receipts category (total revenue) equals $3.706 trillion. That’s 80.3% of all Federal tax revenue that goes out towards entitlements like Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, WIC, and other programs.

Social Security technically is not an entitlement, as we pay into it our entire life in exchange for a retirement years income stream, but it cannot be taken away easily. Therefore, like all other entitlements, they become sticky.

The Roman Empire collapsed under 33% of revenue going towards entitlement programs. In 2020/21 the United States was at 80.3%. This is unsustainable.

Add to this the net interest on the national debt, which at around 2.0% interest on a 30-year bond is a whopping $376 Billion. At the lowest interest rates in the history of America, the net interest plus entitlement payments equal 90.4% of all US federal tax revenue. The eerie implications of the massive amount of unsustainable debt are devastating in impact on small interest rate moves.

Consider what the Net interest on $27 trillion of federal debt will be when interest rates are the following:

• 4% = $752 billion
• 6% = $1.128 trillion
• 8% = $1.504 trillion

When interest rates reach 3%, then net interest plus entitlements equal 100% of the entire federal tax revenue. Interest rates are cyclical and throughout history move from high to low or low to high around every 28 years. Interest rates in 1983 were 18% of a 30 year bond.

The interest rate cycle is at the end of its downward trend and can only go up from here. Sadly, state pension funds are not the only things facing insolvency. So is America. Consider the official Federal Budget that shows the massive number of expenditures as a percentage of revenue that entitlements and mandatory payments occupy.

Unfortunately, America is poised for default or is setting the state for a hyper-inflationary phase in the economy that will erode the wealth, standard-of-living, and livelihood of all Americans.

Mega-Trends For The Next Decade

Freedomist MIA September 2, 2022

Mr. Sune Hojgaard Sorensen, a strategic and economic Advisory Board Member of the BFI Capital Group, has identified what he calls three defining mega-trends he believes will feature prominently in the next decade, all of which have been massively accelerated by Covid.

1. DIGITALIZATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

“According to a study conducted by McKinsey & Co in November of last year, in response to the crisis, companies have accelerated the digitalization of their customer interactions, accomplishing three or four years of progress in just seven months!” Further, Sorensen notes that “Value has moved from the tangible to the intangible, or a combination thereof.”

In 1975, only 17% of assets on the S & P 500 were intangible (patents, brand value, customer data, etc.), while 83% were tangible (buildings, equipment, cash, inventory, etc.). Today, 90% of assets are intangible. Digital finance, tele-health, remote work, online education, virtual entertainment, automation, and robotics will only increase in use.

2. THE RISE OF THE EAST

Consider that over 3.3 billion live in the countries of India, China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Japan alone. The world’s largest shipping hubs are now in the East, and Asia’s market share has massively expanded in the past 100 years. Despite the talk of “decoupling” from China, many businesses have shown little interest in doing so.

According to MacroPolo, “Foreign businesses are just one gauge of decoupling, but they are particularly important leading indicators of shifts in supply chain ecosystems. In 2020, the respective portions of US (87%) and European (89%) businesses indicating no intention to leave China are as high or even higher than they’ve been in recent years.”

1. BIG GOVERNMENTS, BIGGER DEBT

Essentially, the US has transitioned from real engineering to financial engineering. Sorenson highlights the Congressional Budget Office projections, which predict that US Debt to GDP will pass the historical high of 106 in 2023, and in 2050 will hit 2.5x what they were at the end of 2020.

But Sorensen believes this could spell opportunity for strategic investors. “Beyond the debasement and the financial repression, big government and even bigger debt will also bring plenty of opportunity to those entrepreneurs and investors who can take a pragmatic approach, see through the smoke and mirrors, and identify the sectors that stand to benefit from all this largesse, deploying their efforts and capital accordingly.”

Consider that while millions lost their fortunes in the Great Depression, those who understood the times and were wise enough to get out early (like Joe Kennedy, Sr.) were able to buy stock after the crash for pennies on the dollar, becoming millionaires in the process.

Understanding & Protecting Yourself From Phishing

Freedomist MIA September 2, 2022

1. WHAT IS “PHISHING”?

“Phishing” is a type of cyberattack that seeks to mislead computer users into giving out sensitive information to malicious individuals or downloading malware onto their computers. Phishing takes numerous forms. (1) Phishing emails, (2) phishing websites, (2) phishing texts, and (3) phishing social media messages pour in upon users every day. These attacks can be highly sophisticated and seek to steal your personal information or turn your computer into a stepping stone that can be leveraged to attack other devices.

2. AN EXAMPLE OF PHISHING

As an example of computers being used as stepping stones for cyberattacks, the Solorigate breach resulted in the compromise of hundreds of corporations, as well as multiple government agencies and the Windows operating system (OS) source code. This Solorigate breach was claimed to have originated from Russian government sponsored hackers, and it demonstrates how extensive a single state-sponsored cyberattack can be. Allegedly, these attackers originally breached the SolarWinds software through a phishing attack, thereby demonstrating how hackers can quickly breach a single piece of software or computer through phishing and then spread their attacks to other organizations and government agencies.

There are some specific steps that we can take to protect ourselves from phishing attacks.

1. BE VIGILANT ONLINE

Cybercrime is rampant. Always be on guard when using the Internet or your smartphone; if anything on the web seems to be suspicious, use extreme caution when browsing that site or downloading that file. Carefully inspect websites before you enter any personal information into them.

Never click on a link in an email or text – always copy and paste those links from your email/text messenger into your browser and take a moment to inspect them before pressing the go button.

2. VERIFY, THEN TRUST

Always be suspicious of any unsolicited message you receive from a digitally-based entity. This includes phone calls, text messages, emails, and computer notifications.

3. USE SOFTWARE TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM PHISHING ATTACKS

Such software includes the following:

• Secure browsers (like Brave Browser)
• Strong antivirus software (like Avast Security or Bitdefender)
• Ad Blockers (like uBlock Origin)

4. GUARD PERSONAL INFORMATION

(a) Minimize the amount of personal information you enter into any website or app; this includes any password or passcode. Do not enter information if you are not required to do so. It is not illegal to not enter your real name when signing up for things like Gmail.

(b) Do not reuse the same password for all of your applications; if you have trouble keeping track of your passwords, use a password manager like KeePass, LastPass, or Dashlane.

Unmasking Propaganda: From Edward Bernays To Biden’s Ministry Of Truth

Freedomist MIA August 31, 2022

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”

– Edward Bernays, Propaganda, 1928

Introduction

The relentless attack of globalists and communists is on freedom. One of the most remarkable things about this assault is that few people indeed realize that they are being controlled and manipulated en masse for devious ends.

The answer is propaganda.

This article will expose the roots, science, history, and methods of propaganda in order to clearly reveal how propaganda is being weaponized today and what can be done to successfully resist it.

A. The Roots Of Modern Propaganda

Propaganda works through channels of information, such as education, media, Hollywood, social media, business, and government, to subtly change the ideas, beliefs, and actions of entire groups of people, manipulating them into exchanging rational, independent thinking for mass emotion and groupthink.

What is propaganda? – The father of modern “public relations” (aka, propaganda), Edward Bernays, saw propaganda as the “conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses.” Bernays was a double nephew to the father of modern psychology, Sigmund Freud, for whom he possessed a lifelong admiration.

In The Crowd, author Le Bon recommended, “A crowd is only impressed by excessive sentiments. Exaggerate, affirm, resort to repetition, and never attempt to prove anything by reasoning.”

Le Bon also stated, “The orators who know how to make an impression upon them always appeal in consequence to their sentiments and never to their reason. The laws of logic have no action on crowds.”

Le Bon outlined three stages: submergence, contagion, and suggestion. First, in submergence, individuals in the crowd lose their individuality. Second, in contagion, individuals are unconsciously swept away by the crowd’s emotion and ideals, which spread like a disease. Third, in suggestion, the crowd develops a unified identity. It is in this stage that a charismatic, trusted leader can easily insert himself as part of the crowd’s identity.

B. How Bernays Used Propaganda

Edward Bernays brought together the theories of Freud, Le Bon, and Trotter, and applied them with devastating effect to the science of mass manipulation.

Shortly after the United States entered World War I, Bernays (then in his 20s) was hired by the Committee on Public Information (CPI) to help sell the American people on the war “to bring democracy to Europe.

Bernays aimed to increase sales for the American Tobacco Company’s Lucky Strike cigarettes by marketing to a new demographic – women. Bernays promoted the ideal of thinness, suggested that women smokers were prettier and slimmer than non-women smokers, and employed medical “experts” who advised smoking over sweets.

100 years ago, the average American ate a light breakfast consisting of coffee, a roll, and orange juice. All of that changed after Bernays went to work to increase bacon sales for the Beech-Nut Packing Company. Bernays assembled a “study” of 4,500 doctors, led by his agency’s internal doctor, to recommend that Americans eat heavier breakfasts. The American public followed the advice of these “experts,” and Beech-Nut’s profits soared.

C. Propaganda And Hitler

Adolf Hitler stated, “By clever and persevering use of propaganda, even heaven can be represented as hell to the people, and conversely the most wretched life as paradise.” Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda, Paul Joseph Goebbels, was an avid admirer of Edward Bernays’s methods and applied Propaganda with deadly success. Hitler’s regime used the Reichstag Fire to consolidate power. The Night of Broken Glass was weaponized to whip up racial tensions.

In their book, Propaganda and Persuasion, historians Jowett & O’Donnell summarize Hitler and Goebbels’s basic principles of propaganda.

Avoid abstract ideas – appeal to the emotions.
Constantly repeat just a few ideas.
Use stereotyped phrases.
Give only one side of the argument.
Continuously criticize your opponents.
Pick out one special “enemy” for special vilification.

D. Modern Avenues Of Propaganda

Education
Media
Hollywood
Big Tech
Public Health
Corporate America
Popular Culture

American citizens have fallen for lie after lie since the days of Edward Bernays. With historical hindsight, today’s propaganda is clear for all who wish to see it. Globalists can only establish tyranny by first eliminating freedom of thought and freedom of speech. It is not too late. We can reject all forms of propaganda, defend free speech, and awaken others.

Religious discrimination lawsuit filed against Michigan AG

From www.wzzm13.com

Excerpt:

The Grand Rapids based non-profit healthcare provider says a newly interpreted Michigan law is forcing religious organizations to violate their religious beliefs.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — In a landmark decision by the Michigan Supreme Court in July, the state’s anti-discrimination law was interpreted to cover sexual orientation.

The court, in a 5-2 opinion, said the word “sex” in Michigan’s key civil rights law applies to sexual orientation and not just gender.

Now, a Christian based non-profit healthcare provider is filing a religious discrimination lawsuit against Michigan Attorney General, Dana Nessel.

The Grand Rapids based healthcare provider, Christian Healthcare Centers, filed the federal lawsuit Monday saying the state’s anti-discrimination law violates the organization’s religious beliefs.

U.S. can’t punish Christian hospitals for refusing to do abortions, gender surgery

From www.reuters.com
2022-08-29 23:29:00

Excerpt:

The U.S. government cannot require several Christian medical groups and providers to perform abortions or gender transition surgeries under the Affordable Care Act, a federal appeals court has ruled.

A unanimous panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday upheld a lower court’s permanent order shielding Christian Medical and Dental Associations and Specialty Physicians of Illinois, along with Catholic hospital system Franciscan Alliance Inc, from any enforcement action under the ACA’s anti-discrimination provision, known as Section 1557, for refusing to perform the procedures, which they say would violate their religious freedom.

Circuit Judge Don Willett, joined by Circuit Judges Jennifer Elrod and Kurt Engelhardt, rejected the government’s argument that the case should be dismissed as moot because the original rule challenged by the providers had been overturned. Willett wrote that the providers still faced harm because the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had “repeatedly refused to disavow enforcement” against them.
