Gal Luft, a whistleblower claiming he has evidence of President Biden’s selling out Americans to the CCP, is being charged with colluding with the Chinese Communist Party for doing the same thing that President Biden’s National Security Council China Director did, give a speech at a pro-CCP event in China. That Director is Paul Haenle, who continues to serve in the anti-American regime.
The event he spoke at was called “The Contemporary World Multilateral Dialogue on Global Trends and China in the Coming Decade,” which was held in Beijing in 2013, while Biden was still Vice President. As a matter of fact, Luft and Haenle spoke on the same panel. Luft might be guilty of sedition, but so is Haenle. However, unlike Haenle, Luft appears to want to make amends for his crimes, turning states evidence, as it were, and the DNC-controlled DOJ must silence this man before he ever gets a chance at exposing their boss, Joe Biden, for the acts of sedition he has been participating in (and continues to do).
Also at that same event was Chen Quitu, who served as President of the Hunter-Biden-linked CEFC China Energy Board.
With the Biden administration doing everything it can to keep America’s borders wide open in what looks increasingly like a rogue regime aiding and abetting America’s foreign enemies, Texas has moved to protect its own borders, and the DOJ doesn’t like it. They’re threatening to sue the state for placing barriers along the Rio Grande River. The Governor has announced that DOJ has no jurisdiction to prevent Texas from protecting their border when the Federal government not only is NOT doing their job, but they appear to be actively subverting any efforts to protect Americans from this “immigrant” invasion.
The DOJ said in a letter, “The State of Texas’s actions violate federal law, raise humanitarian concerns, present serious risks to public safety and the environment, and may interfere with the federal government’s ability to carry out its official duties.”
You can think of this move along the lines of passing laws that make it illegal for people to defend themselves against attacks, such as we have with anti-gun laws in America today, and around the world, such as in Britain, having laws that make it illegal for you to use physical violence to stop a person from invading your home.
The move by the DOJ makes it all the more naked the nature of the Democratic Party, of which the DOJ has now become nothing more than a weapon of lawfare aimed at the heart of the American republic itself. Abbot responded to the threat by the DOJ to sue them if they fail to comply within a week, “Texas has the sovereign authority to defend our border, under the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution. We have sent the Biden Administration numerous letters detailing our authority, including the one I hand-delivered to President [Joe] Biden earlier this year.”
Since 2021, there has been a war simmering between the United States and Iran. The US began seizing – via court-based “arrest” orders – ships carrying cargo (mostly oil) –out of Iran, to various nations that the United States has under economic sanction. The nations under US sanctions, such as Venezuela, have no real method to respond to the United States.
Iran, however, is a different matter.
Iran has begun seizing ships in the Persian Gulf by force, and in earnest, in response to the actions by the United States; the number is now up to twenty vessels. Additionally, some firms in the United States have begun to refuse to unload ships seized with Iranian cargo, fearing Iran seizing their vessels in retaliation.
Because of the clear threat presented to the “freedom of the seas”, the United is now responding to Iran by reinforcing its forces in the Persian Gulf with additional destroyers…and a few thousand US Marines.
While the first inclination of many will be to recall that the United States severely damaged the Iranian Navy in 1988’s Operation Praying Mantis – launched in response to an Iranian naval mine severely damaging the USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG-58) – that was some thirty-five years ago.

Iran’s naval capability – while still no match for the US Navy in a direct fight – has significantly improved since their defeat, very likely enough to cause serious damage to United States forces in the process. Such a defeat, were it to happen, would almost certainly spark hysterical screams from within Washington, DC, demanding an all-out invasion.

This is certainly not a whimsical or marginal threat. There has been a long-standing resistance within the Washington establishment to any rational negotiations with Iran; indeed, this escalated after then-President Donald Trump called off a disproportionate attack in response to Iran shooting down an unmanned US surveillance drone in 2019. In fact, hysterical calls for war with Iran have been a steady feature of US rhetoric for over a decade.
While the reasons for this hysterical behavior by long-serving chickenhawks in the Washington Swamp are unclear, they are nonetheless real. And with the weak, disconnected and floundering administration currently in place in the Swamp, wallowing in failures both domestic and foreign, highly irrational decisions are a serious possibility.
Iran is not Iraq. An irrational and ill-advised war against the current iteration of Ancient Persia – no matter how technically weak it may appear – would be an absolute disaster for the United States in the immediate sense, but also for the wider world, as the impact on the global trade system would not simply be catastrophic, but could swiftly escalate out of control.
For far too long, the people of the United States have bought into the mythology of “American Invincibility”. While this belief was justifiable until about 2010, it is no longer the case. The US Navy currently fields less than 300 vessels; all of the armed services except the Marine Corps have admitted that they expect to fall short of their recruitment targets by at least 20%, if not more. As the Biden administration openly admitted less than two weeks before this writing, US industry has not been able to step up the production of basic artillery ammunition to meet the needs of the administration’s support to Ukraine.
There is nothing left for the United States’ potential need for combat operations, should that happen.

And there are painfully few options available, if any still exist at all. Despite some twenty-odd years of near-continuous combat, neither US industry nor the wider population have been mobilized for the possibility of a major war…or wars. In 1941, as the forces of Imperial Japan were attacking Pearl Harbor, the United States had been girding for war for nearly two full years, mobilizing a “command economy” to increase the production of war materiel to support Great Britain in its war against Hitler’s Germany, and instituting the first peacetime military draft in the country’s history, giving all of the armed services of the day time to bring in and train troops in readiness for war.
None of that has been happening in the last 20+ years. And the cold reality is that it is likely not possible, without twenty years, minimum, of corrective measures: Thirty years of globalism’s industrial and business realities have removed the bulk of heavy industrial manufacturing from within the borders of the United States. Likewise, there is virtually no chance of the Draft being reactivated; while it is certainly still on the books as a legal option, the social policies instituted, promoted and encouraged by the Democrat Party in the last fifteen years have poisoned the recruiting well for the military, encouraging the armed service’s core demographics to pointedly not step forward to enlist. Basic training has been eroded to the point where the vast majority of troops with under ten years service are not psychologically prepared for combat at any level.
And yet – the chickenhawks of the Swamp persist, thinking that their actions to please their vote base have had no impact on military readiness – despite facts to the contrary – because they are so disconnected from the real world…
…Now, if the issue were simply Iran and a shortfall for materiel’s shipments to Ukraine, this might not be that large of a problem. A problem, certainly, but not a critical one.
However, as many chickenhawk cheerleaders crow over the recent attack on the Kerch Bridge over the Sea of Azov, Russia’s response was swift and decisive: Russia has abandoned the deal it agreed to previously, which allows the export of Ukrainian grain crops to supply the world’s food needs.

Russia is now actively targeting the port city of Odessa with long-range missile strikes, and is laying naval mines to close off Ukraine’s remaining coastal regions. Moscow has also hinted at the possibility that it will attack commercial vessels attempting to reach Ukraine.
The real danger in this series of moves lies far to the south, where Egypt is critically dependent upon Ukrainian wheat to feed its population. In the face of this loss, Egypt – already struggling with massive unemployment and the irrational and childish dismissal of its concerns over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dame (GERD) project by the government in Addis Ababa.
This is important, because if Egypt lashes out against Ethiopia in desperation – using an air force largely reequipped by the US – it could easily spark a much wider war, a war that could easily result in the closing of the Suez Canal…an act that, as was demonstrated by the grounding of a single container ship in 2021 for less than a week, would up-end the world trade system.
Which loops us back to Iran.
If the United States tilts that windmill, it will destroy the International North–South Transport Corridor, the decade-old project by Russia, China, Turkey, India and Iran to build a trade corridor designed to drastically shorten the transit of commercial cargo, bypassing the Suez Canal entirely.
This is a hair-trigger environment that is capable of sparking World War 3. This is not hyperbole, in any way.
It is solely the construct of the Swamp – a body that imagines itself as completely immune to anyone it deems “lesser”…which term includes you and I.
Let that sink in.
The Freedomist — Keeping Watch, So You Don’t Have To
Testimony before the House Judiciary committee by Laura Dehmlow, section Chief of the Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) of the FBI exposes the agency’s complicity in burying a pre-2020-election story exposing a laptop of Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, which contained numerous incriminating evidence of influence selling to foreign companies by the Biden family. She alleges the FBI knew from the start the laptop was legitimate but chose to remain silent when the DNC machine pushed forward the myth the laptop was a Russian hoax.
The House Judiciary GOP tweeted out “Testimony reveals the FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop was authentic, but when asked by a social media company about the laptop’s authenticity the FBI said ‘no further comment.’”
This writer wants to once again point out the fact that the FBI, led by a Trump-appointed director, chose to intentionally mislead the American public about the truth of the Hunter Biden laptop to protect Joe Biden, who was running against Donald Trump. They chose to violate American law to protect the then-sitting-President’s opponent. There is little more damaging than this, yet the DNC and its anti-American supporters continue to defend this man and his crack-whore son.
The House GOP writes:
As the federal court in Missouri v. Biden explained in damning language, the FBI’s actions prevented millions of Americans from having a clear understanding about a salient issue in the 2020 presidential election: The FBI’s failure to alert social-media companies that the Hunter Biden laptop was real, and not mere Russian disinformation, is particularly troubling. The FBI had the laptop in their possession since December 2019 and had warned social-media companies to look for a “hack and dump” operation by the Russians prior to the 2020 election. Even after Facebook specifically asked whether the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation, Dehmlow of the FBI refused to comment, resulting in the social-media companies’ suppression of the story. As a result, millions of U.S. citizens did not hear the story prior to the November 3, 2020 election.
A shooting just before the Women’s World Cup in Aukland, NZ has left 2 dead, 3 injured, with the shooter also being killed in a shootout with police that injured one officer. The shooter, Matu Tangi Matu Reid, 24, was on house arrest for domestic violence he was convicted of carrying out against his then-girlfriend.
After New Zealand passed some of the most anti-gun laws in the world (second only to countries like China and North Korea), another mass shooting has demonstrated confiscating guns from law-abiding people won’t stop insane people from mass killings, be it with guns, cars, knives, or chemicals.
The shooter is a non-white, also dispelling the other favorite leftist trope to scare people to hand in their guns, that it’s only white supremacists mass murdering the world, so it’s racist to resist gun confiscation plans.
Unfortunately for the party of sedition, the Democratic Party, one of the IRS whistleblowers who has come forward is Joseph Ziegler, a registered Democrat. Ziegler was interviewed by CBS News’ Catherine Herridge and spoke before congress, claiming in both that any effort to fully investigate Joe Biden or Hunter Biden was cut off by higher ups with the excuse that such a move would require too high an approval to happen.
The investigation of Hunter Biden seemed to implicate Joe Biden, who was then a private citizen. Remember, the Hunter Biden investigation happened under Donald Trump’s watch, with a DOJ that had obviously gone rogue, defying the Trump administration in every turn and protecting his potential future opposition for the 2020 election.
In the CBS News Interview, Ziegler told Herridge, “It’s a matter of are we treating everyone the same? Are we treating all taxpayers the same? And in this case, no. I don’t think so.”
Herridge follows up by asking him if he wants the DOJ to revisit the recent Hunter Biden plea deal. He responded “This is up to the U.S. Attorney who brought the charges, David Weiss, and it’s up to the judge to make that decision. But at the end of the day, it’s a matter of are we treating everyone the same. Are we treating all taxpayers the same?”
Herridge follows up by asking “And in this case?” Ziegler answers, “And in this case, I don’t think so.”
The problem for the DNC is their go-to card to distract from the overt lies they must tell just to claim the power they have (that the white cis-gendered devil will destroy the world unless we become racist and bigoted and totalitarian, which is the only way to end evil, which can actually happen) is to use their six degrees of phobic language game to demonize the truth tellers before anyone else listens to them fairly.
By six degrees of phobic language game I am referencing the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” game, where you choose an actor and try to connect that actor through six movies or less, a game that is easy to play if you have a thorough working knowledge of the cast and crew in movies. The same game can be claimed with declaring dog whistle guilt, that is, to connect a belief or statement of fact to some true evil by connecting it to the evil through a connection of “related” facts. This is how the DNC connects patriotism to white supremacism, integrity to white supremacism, rejecting the murdering of unborn children to white supremacism, etc.
They can still do their six degrees of phobic game, but not so easily when the accuser happens to be a registered democrat who also happens to be a member of a “protected” DNC class, a homosexual.
GOP House members stand alone in signaling the alarm that the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated our universities and colleges. No Democrat joined them in efforts to investigate the deep ties discovered between the bastion of leftist brainwashing, the University of California Berkeley. House Republicans sent a letter to the dean of Berkeley Michael Drake, pointing out the unholy alliance between his university and the CCP’s Tsinghua University in Shenzhen.
The letter points to the work the two schools do together developing technologies that share American secrets with Chinese Communists, creating national security threats to the country. The letter was signed by committee chairman Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.) and Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.).
They wrote, “Berkeley’s P.R.C.-backed collaboration with Tsinghua University raises many red flags.”
This is the second time Congress called the Marxist-training University into question for its CCP ties. In May, the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee exposed $200 million in funding it accepted from groups directly connected to the CCP.
Again, no Democrat joined in the effort to expose these CCP ties and attempt to bring people to justice who participated in this act of treason.
China’s state spokesperson newspaper Global Timeswarned the Americans that if they don’t back off cracking down on China, China will stop “cooperating” with American on “Climate Change.” This happened as the Mass Mailer President Biden Committee’s “Climate Czar” John “Private Jet” Kerry praised the fascist state that is currently engaging in a Hitlerian holocaust of Uighurs. He said of the fascist government that they were “doing an incredible job of building out renewables,” urging the CCP and America to put aside “political issues….and come together to take action.”
The Global Times editorial pulled no punches, however, and contained no plaudits, as Kerry’s opening statement to the Climate Summit between himself and Chinese officials in Beijing.
The editorial read, “If the U.S. continues its crackdown on China, escalating tensions and hostility between the two sides, it is unlikely to be conducive to any kind of cooperation, including on climate change. While Washington has long wanted to isolate climate change issues from its other political and trade policies related to China, there is actually no way to separate bilateral cooperation on global warming from the broader context of China-U.S. relations.”
Kerry’s visit comes right after Treasury head Janet Yellen visited the fascist state, herself praising China’s efforts on global climate change and spreading the lie America can work with China to save the planet from certain man-made doom.
If only the Nazis cared about the planet like Kerry does, he’d probably support them as well.
One of the bastions for leftist insanity that gave us some of the worst leftist policies in the country that continues to enable leftist violence and thuggery is finding itself at odds with the tyrannical mob it enabled. Apparently, the officials of Portland, Maine who helped cultivate this unholy beast are now seeking to reign it in by modifying ballot initiate rules so that the city is not completely at the mercy of the leftist mob.
Mayor Kate Snyder is hoping to add nine amendments to the city code, including one that would enable the city council to override any passed referendum. A group called “Enough is Enough” is leading the charge to reign in the mobocracy that unfettered ballot initiative create, but it is being attacked by the leftist mob with signs that say “Enough is Enough. How Dare You Ask for More!”
The sign implies the mob is always right and should always be listened to, which is not a surprise coming from a cult that assumes America is a “Democracy,” the worst form of government in the world, and not a Constitutional Republic with Democratic features designed to prevent the mob from ruling over the minority.
Watching these leftists come face to face with their own leftist “officials” who themselves have grown sick of the unhinged demands from this mob is highly entertaining on one hand, but from an American constitutional perspective, it drives home the fact that significant sections of our country are no longer under American constitutional jurisprudence. To be sure, the Mayor of Portland and her elite colleagues aren’t trying to restore American Rule of Law to their fallen city, they just don’t want to lose too much power to the Frankenstein beast their actions (in collusion with the MSM) created this hate-filled, anti-American, anti-human mob in the first place.
After a leftist Manhattan judge ruled in 20212 that NYC’s teachers’ entrance exam was racist, NYC eventually decided to no longer appeal the ruling but rather began settling with black and Hispanic teachers who failed the exam. 95 percent of whites passed the test while only 53 percent of black and 50 percent of Hispanics passed the text. So far, since former Mayor Bill de Blasio stopped the appeal in 2018, the city of New York has given out $750 billion to failed teachers, with at least one collecting over $2 million after failing multiple times.
It is expected the city of New York will give out more than $1.8 billion in total settling a case that still has plenty of appeals available for it. There is an irony in the fact that people who failed to successfully demonstrate minimal competence to serve in the NY Public School system as teachers are now costing that same school system nearly $2 billion to assuage their hurt at failing. Talk about failing up……
