Myanmar Junta Begs World to Pass Drone Control Laws

Paul Collier September 27, 2023

The Myanmar Junta is having a hard time consolidating power in a land that fundamentally rejects them. The many groups opposing them have been effectively using drones to neutralize much of the military advantage a state typically has over non-governmental factions. In response, the Junta’s top cop, Lt-General Ni Lin Aung, is calling on the world to prevent “terrorist groups” from getting access to drones.

He wants to create regional and bilateral oversight groups to create laws and take enforcement action to prevent “terrorist groups” from getting drones. The move is intended to put a righteous face to states cooperating to assure no one but the governments have access to drones that could be effectively used to resist their tyrannical actions.

From irrawaddy.com:

Regime military targets are being hit by drone strikes because resistance groups have learned how to bypass drone jammers.

On September 15, a video released by joint resistance groups showed their makeshift remote-controlled winged drone dropping two improvised bombs on aircraft hangars at Aye Lar military air base next to Naypyitaw International Airport, near the regime’s administrative capital.

Although no details of damage or casualties caused by the Naypyitaw drone strikes were released, Myanmar netizens praised the group’s ability to evade jamming equipment at the airbase to successfully conduct a drone strike…

Many types of commercial drones have been used widely and effectively by resistance groups and allied ethnic armed organizations nationwide to bomb regime targets and surveillance operations.

Resistance groups are increasingly conducting aerial bombardments on regime targets by producing more improvised fixed-wing drones on their own.

The rise of the drones will lead to the rise of common-sense drone control laws across the world, with even the U.S. being vulnerable to draconian drone control laws as the 2^nd Amendment doesn’t cover drones, at least on its face.

This writer saw this coming years ago. Last year, I covered this looming threat to our liberty:

The new battle for the right to self-defense might not involve guns at all, at least not directly. The new threat to central control is the rising efficiency of the drone. From battlefields across the Mideast and North Africa, to the recent battles over the skies of Ukraine, drones are becoming disruptors of organized power, as Russian columns in Ukraine can readily affirm.

Here in America, the current spokesperson of central control known as Joe Biden is recognizing that threat to the potential for tyranny to control the unwilling. The administration is looking to find out the current legal justifications to clamp down on drone use in the United States. Get ready, the battle for drone possession and manufacturing by private citizens is soon to come, if it’s not already here.

White House Commands DNC-CCP Media to Target Republicans That Are Targeting Biden

Paul Collier September 14, 2023

The Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee sent out a letter in response to Republicans beginning an impeachment inquiry against their figurehead, Joe Biden. That letter was addressed to the agit prop weapons of information war of the DNC-CCP, the mass media. It included all the major news outlets, urging them to “ramp up scrutiny” of House Republicans in response to the impeachment proceedings.

The letter stated, “It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies.”

Ian Sams, a Special Assistant to the President, as well as the spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s office, is “credited” with being the author of the poison pen letter, which is being rightly read by Americans as being a direct attempt to use the DNC-CCP media to brutalize resistance to the Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee. It far exceeds the constitutional authority of the Presidency and is itself another impeachable offense.

Sams wrote “After nearly 9 months of investigating, House Republicans haven’t been able to turn up any evidence of the President doing anything wrong. But House Republicans led by Marjorie Taylor Greene are nonetheless opening a baseless impeachment inquiry of President Biden – despite many House Republicans openly admitting there is no evidence on which to support it.”

The letter was revealed by CNN’s Oliver Darcy, an agent of the DNC-CCP who willingly uses his press status to push propaganda that helps the cause of his party over America’s interests.

The letter was sent to the executives of all the major news outlets, including CNN, the New York Times, the Associated Press, CBS News, and even Fox News (indicating Fox News has now been officially outed as a member of the DNC-CCP cabal).

CNN gives ‘credibility” to the letter when Darcy writes, While news organizations have published innumerable fact checks on the matter, they have also often failed to robustly call out the mis- and disinformation peddled by Republicans in their coverage, frustrating officials in the Biden White House who believe that the news media should be doing more to dispel lies that saturate the public discourse.

He writes like he’s a member of the Cabinet, not a member of the press. He writes as if the lies of the DNC-CCP are fact and any effort to challenge those lies are lies themselves. He writes like he’s the state press, not the free press. Oliver Darcy is complicit in the treason being perpetrated by this administration.

Sams continued in his Orwellian letter, where truth is a lie and a lie is the truth, “Covering impeachment as a process story – Republicans say X, but the White House says Y – is a disservice to the American public who relies on the independent press to hold those in power accountable. And in the modern media environment, where every day liars and hucksters peddle disinformation and lies everywhere from Facebook to Fox, process stories that fail to unpack the illegitimacy of the claims on which House Republicans are basing all their actions only serve to generate confusion, put false premises in people’s feeds, and obscure the truth.”

So long as the DNC-CCP is allowed to openly continue its efforts to destroy the Republic in an effort to replace it with Progmerica (which is no America at all) every American is facing existential threats from its own government, and the boys and girls of CNN and the other outlets are part of that dark effort to make it criminal to resist the party, even when the party resists our Constitution, from which the government derives its authority in the first place.

This penultimate paragraph of Darcy’s propaganda piece lays bear the nature of the depravity of the state press and makes it official that CNN is no longer a free press, it is a state agency doing the bidding of the cabal that controls the dementia patient and traitor Joe Biden, “McCarthy launched the impeachment inquiry Tuesday without a formal House vote in a bid to appease Republicans on his far-right, including those who have threatened to oust the California Republican from his speakership if he does not move swiftly enough on such an investigation.”

He wrote that claim as fact, and he wants the readers to believe this lie, that the only reason McCarthy is proceeding with the impeachment inquiry is to appease the “far right,” which, to this seditionist is really anyone that still upholds the values of our Declaration of Independence and our Bill of Rights.

The letter, and CNN’s response to the letter, is a declaration of open war against the American people. It is time for Republican-controlled states to cease to acknowledge the authority of this Mass Mailer Presidency committee and begin to arrest the members of this treasonous party in their state, else they will soon find themselves arrested by a party that seeks to make America its vassal state, ruled by Progmerica, which is no America at all.

New Mexico Experiments with Gun Control Fascism, It’s Not Going Great

Paul Collier September 13, 2023

The seditious Governor of New Mexico, Democrat Michelle Lujan Grisham, was selected by the DNC-CCP to run a test pattern and see what happens, at least that’s what this writer theorizes. She was told to declare a health emergency in response to gun shootings and use that as a justification to ban gun possession by American citizens for 30 days.

It’s not going well as members of her own party, in the media and even in her own government, are telling her to stop before she exposes the mask-off reality of authoritarianism at the root of the DNC-CCP’s current ideological platform. It might already be too late, though, as more and more Americans are learning through this deranged wanna-be fascist dictator the true nature of the Democratic Party.

The criminal governor (who should be immediately arrested and charged with high crimes and misdemeanors) got a taste of the members of her own party running scared at her actions when CNN host Poppy Harlow confronted her on the blatant unconstitutional authority of her actions.

Harlow asked her if she thought she had a right to do this, and Grisham answered, “We’ll see what all of these court actions do.”

Harlow countered, “No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality of county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms.”

She was quoting the New Mexico Constitution, which Grisham is sworn to uphold and defend, in addition to upholding and defending the U.S. Constitution as well.

Republicans in the State Legislature have immediately called for her impeachment, with State Representatives Stefani Lord and John Block releasing a statement calling for that very thing, saying, “This emergency order violates the Governor’s oath to protect and defend the rights of New Mexicans and is illegal in nature. The legislature has a duty to intervene when the government is overstepping its boundaries, and Governor Grisham’s order and comments disqualify her from continuing her tenure as Governor.”

They should be calling for her immediate arrest for committing a blatant act of reason against the American republic, but in typical republican fashion they’ll only go so far to challenge the party they’re ultimately there to protect from real American opposition.

Her own Attorney General, Raúl Torrez, has come out and stated he won’t enforce the emergency order, while at the same time joining her in supporting having a “debate” about gun control where the “debate” is controlled by the DNC-CCP to produce the outcome they ultimately want, the death of the 2^nd Amendment, which will hasten the death of the 1^st Amendment, which will hasten the death of the Republic.

The Albuquerque Police Department and the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office have stated they will not enforce this unconstitutional ruling. They also haven’t arrested her for committing terrorism against the state of New Mexico and overstepping her constitutional authority.

The order, it should be noted, only applies right now to these two jurisdictions as they are the only regions whose gun violence levels meet the standard set by the order, but all of New Mexico knows this is only a test intended to be extended to the whole state.

This writer wants to make it clear, I’m not buying the Democrats’ feigned concerns at the right to bearing arms being violated. There are three possibilities why this is happening, and this writer assumes there is a little truth to all three possibilities.

The first possibility is the Democrats are using Grisham to make them seem reasonable, even though deep down they’re still fully committed to confiscating arms and ending the right to bear arms so they can force Americans more easily into the cattle cars these deranged lunatics have planned to ship us way to a nice work vacation of sorts.

When David Hogg gets to “champion” the constitution in rebuke of Grisham’s order it might be viewed as a way to make that fascist boi seem more reasonable than he otherwise actually is.

The second possibility I think is even more of a factor than the first, especially when the Democrats saw the immediate reaction from rank and file Americans, who set out to openly defy the governor’s order and dare any cop to execute such a seditious order.

The Democrats are afraid, and rightly so, that the governor is taking the mask off the “reasonableness” of the DNC-CCP, showing average non-engaged Americans just how insane and anti-American the DNC-CCP really is. Sure, they’ll give you the freedom to murder your unborn child, the freedom to smoke cannabis without fear of arrest, the freedom to marry whoever or whatever you want to marry, but they’ll do that at a cost, and that cost is the American republic itself.

Non-engaged single-issue voters are increasingly finding it hard to ignore all the parts of the DNC-CCP’s agenda that might actually hurt them. In California, for instance, even if you support gun control, and thus the DNC-CCP, you now must do so at the cost of also supporting grooming children in state schools without the consent or will of the parents. Even if you want to get rid of all guns, you might not want to get rid of parental rights as well.

But that’s the full package deal of the DNC-CCP.

Even if you support gun control, you probably don’t support dictatorships, as Grisham is now attempting to make herself in the state of New Mexico. And these voters notice this. Maybe they won’t vote for republicans, but maybe they just don’t show up to vote at all.

The third reason is to run a bad idea up the flagpole and see who salutes, as in try to do something tyrannical and see if the constant psychological terrorism being foisted on Americans by DNC-CCP-controlled machines that produce our socio-cultural signals (through news, education, entertainment, etc.) has finally debilitated the American spirit. Will Americans submit to this tyranny? If they do, then every state with a Democrat governor will follow this fascist’s lead.

Grisham claims she’s starting a debate on how to address gun violence, but she reveals more than she would intend by using such language. “Debate” in a Democrat’s depraved mind is to acquiesce to their demands before the debate ever starts, which is what she demonstrated by using her office, which has the power to use lethal force against American citizens, to silence dissent before the “debate” ever happens.

A debate begins when both sides have the freedom to express their beliefs, in word and deed, not after one side is holding a gun to your head while it takes your guns away.

This writer believes she didn’t come up on this on her own, she was told to do this by the elites behind the DNC-CCP curtain that run this anti-American terror machine. They chose her because she was one of the few governors dumb enough to try this. They are testing the American will just as they did with the plandemic lockdowns and vaccine mandates (which delivered mixed results for the oligarchs seeking to condition Americans to blindly accept authority, even if it means the death of the republic).

This writer believes this action will not have the desired effect the elites hoped for. It’s not going to convince normies the DNC-CCP is not completely unhinged because some Democrats are now playing at being defenders of the constitution. All they’ll see is a rabid mediocre middle-aged crazy white lady acting as if she’s the dictator of New Mexico.

It will disenfranchise their own DNC base, who probably won’t switch to vote republican (though some will), but who will simply not vote at all. It will galvanize independents to vote republican, for even if their particular one issue is not represented by the republicans, the immediate threat of losing the republic will trump even that one issue that made them vote for Democrats in the first place.

If this writer is right, and this was planned by the oligarchs of the party, these oligarchs are about to find out they don’t understand humanity at all, for Americans are not quite ready to roll over and play dead for this anti-American cult, and they’re not buying the faux concern of Democrats who talk out both sides of their mouth, calling the actions of this fascist governor unconstitutional while continuing to spread misinformation intended to terrorize Americans into believing we’re all gonna die if our neighbors continue to have the right to bear arms, at home and outside the home, fully locked and loaded, not disarmed by laws that make it illegal for you to have a weapon ready for self-defense in the first place.

She might end up being the greatest champion of the 2^nd Amendment since the redcoats attempted to take Americans’ arms in 1775, and that ended with the redcoats being summarily removed from the land, a scenario the Democrats might want to pay attention to, being the redcoats of the 21^st century.

One hopes this wicked woman repents of her evil ways and turns back to America’s founding principles, rejecting the dark arts of the DNC-CCP, after all none of us are without sin and we all want and need forgiveness, mercy when we come to realize our sins and repent of them. Unlike the DNC-CCP, we Americans don’t believe anyone is unredeemable, and this woman is no exception.

Should she not repent, let her suffer the legal consequences of her criminal ways.

NM Governor “Suspends” 2nd Amendment Rights Because Reasons

Paul Collier September 11, 2023

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham just committed an overt act of treason against the American republic, seeking to use state powers to strip Americans of their right to bear arms on the basis that there is an emergency because people were killed in her state by people who used guns to do so. The deranged governor signed an emergency order declaring the suspension of the right to bear arms after an 11-year-old boy was killed outside a minor league baseball stadium by someone using a gun to do so.

One sheriff, Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina flatly refused to follow her act of treason against the American republic, and more are likely to follow. Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen tried to straddle the fence, saying he was uneasy enforcing the act of treason because it might be in violation of our constitutional rights, though he didn’t just flatly refuse, which is something any American law enforcer should do lest they be in violation of their oath to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic.

In this case, the enemy is in your house, and she’s the face of “gun control” in the name of empowering the DNC-CCP to force their dark, anti-God, anti-human, anti-American ideology on the rest of America, by any means necessary, and armed citizens get in the way of that police state, rainbow-fascist dream.

This woman’s emergency declaration is so overtly in violation of the constitution that she deserves more than impeachment, she deserves prosecution where no punishment is off the table. She classified the emergency order as a “public health emergency,” a dangerous precedent that was set by the Covid-19 lockdown and force vaccination tyranny her kind also militantly support.

As part of her justification for this act of treason, she pushed the hysterical notion that gun violence is everywhere and everyone is terrified to go anywhere because of it. She stated, “When New Mexicans are afraid to be in crowds, to take their kids to school, to leave a baseball game — when their very right to exist is threatened by the prospect of violence at every turn — something is very wrong,”

The only people who think that way are the emotionally stunted adult-children cultists of the DNC-CCP who continue to vote against their own republic because they believe the hateful, demonizing lies their emotional terrorist leaders spew, and their content marketing engines of war, the media, constantly reinforce.

The only person’s right to exist that is being threatened is the American one, not the progmerican one (which is no American at all).

The seditious governor is already receiving pushback, and not just from the Republicans, but Democrats as well, with calls for her immediate impeachment already happening.

Even the militant anti-gun tyrant David Hogg came out against her, saying that she was abusing the standard for what qualifies as a “health emergency.”

These Democrats didn’t just find an American spirit within them, they found a strategist in them that realizes this type of action will have the net effect of convincing more and more non-engaged Americans that when the rest of us tell them that “gun control” is not about your safety, it’s about destroying the republic and replacing it with some form of rainbow fascism (believe me, the two are integrally connected), these “normies” will now be ready to believe us because her mask-off moment is exposing the perverted business.

As would be predicted by anyone paying attention, the treasonous governor is already being sued for her violent assault on the American republic.

The media is covering this as if it is perfectly normal, realizing that it is a vulgar violation of basic American rights but quoting fellow seditionists who say what one law professor at a captured school, Loyola Law School of Los Angeles had to say about the order. Jessica Levinson said that even if the order might be unlawful, it is still good she did it because it “moves the debate.”

There is no debate. You are either an American or a seditionist. If you in any way, shape, or form, support the dangerous precedent this order would set if left to stand, you are not an American, you are a progmerican, which is no American at all. The tone-deaf Anti-Americanist quoted above claimed, “I don’t think it will be a political loss for (Lujan Grisham) to be overturned,” Levinson said. “She can say she did everything she could but was stopped by the courts.”

I don’t think her statement could be more wrong is she tried, and the fact that Democrats are pushing back against this (even though they all really want this precedent) shows how uninformed a woman “teaching” American law truly is. She should not rightly be teaching American law, let alone be allowed to practice it.

The backlash is not just coming, it’s already here, and overt acts of fascism by DNC-CCP elected officials only help hasten and grow that backlash. This can be seen in protests across New Mexico of American citizens openly defying her treasonous orders, daring her to send in police willing to mark themselves as terrorists working in collusion with America’s enemies should they do so.

It is to New Mexico’s shame that they elected this Rainbow fascist; it is to their criminality if they allow her to remain in office and refuse to prosecute her justly for attempting to overthrow the American republic, using violence to do so.

Team Biden Tricked Facebook to Censor Americans Using Fake Intel From Foreign Agents

Paul Collier September 7, 2023

The Biden administration is being accused of censoring Americans on Facebook using fake intelligence they knew was fake, from a foreign interest. The accusations are in keeping with the DNC-CCP’s “alleged” history of trading American power and influence to foreign powers like its frenemy, the Chinese Communist Party, for personal, family gain and dark money contributions to their political campaigns.

This all goes back to the Biden administration accusing Facebook of killing people by allowing twelve Covid-19 vaccine skeptics to spread “misinformation” on their site that was responsible for 65 percent of all “vaccine misinformation.” Remember, the word “misinformation” is a dog whistle for “does not align with the interests of the DNC-CCP’s efforts to terrorize Americans and control them through fear.”

These individuals were labelled the Disinformation Twelve by the White House, a label they got from a dark money group called The Center for Countering Digital Hate, with hate being a dog whistle for “this does not conform to our version of reality we need people to believe to continue to control them through fear and ACTUAL hate.” It is a foreign hate group well-funded by the typical global leftist billionaires and Pro-China “investors.”

The Facebook team knew the information was fake, as they could see that this “Disinformation Twelve” was responsible for .05% of the content that violated the DNC-CCP’s terror message on Covid-19 and its own misinformation campaign selling a vaccine that had far more negative side effects and far less benefits that anyone dare report without being targeted for deplatforming by groups such as the CCDH.

The White House, however, didn’t care, they needed Facebook to “believe” them so they used the power of a government they have no right ruling (since they came to power through a mass mailer election, which is no election at all) to pressure Facebook to do what they wanted Facebook to do, deplatform the “Disinformation Twelve,” which is what Facebook did.

They didn’t just deplatform them, they deplatformed hundreds, even thousands of other Americans for sharing content the DNC-CCP didn’t approve of, and deleted hundreds of thousands more posts.

The evidence here is plain, the DNC-CCP is intimidating companies to do the dirty work of censoring Americans, hiding then behind their privacy status while all the while having de facto converted them to a state entity, which is how Facebook and all the rest of corporate “America” should be viewed the moment they allow federal agents to dictate their policies.

Jim Jordan (R-OH) is subpoenaing the Pro-Chinese, anti-American foreign group the DNC-CCP relied on to twist Facebook’s arm to censor Americans. He sent a letter to Imran Ahmed accusing him of collusion with the Federal government and Facebook to censor Americans using fake news to do so.

He wrote, The Committee on the Judiciary is conducting oversight of how and to what extent the Executive Branch has coerced and colluded with companies and other intermediaries to censor speech. Certain third parties, including organizations like yours, appear to have played a role in this censorship regime by advising the government and social media companies on so-called “misinformation” and other types of content—sometimes with direct or indirect support or approval from the federal government. Whether directly or indirectly, a government-approved or -facilitated censorship regime is a grave threat to the First Amendment and Americans’ civil liberties. Accordingly, as part of the Committee’s constitutional oversight obligations, we write to request relevant information and documents.

We are interested in understanding the interactions between the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and the federal government in particular, as well as between CCDH and social media companies. CCDH claims that “social media companies erode basic human rights and civil liberties by enabling the spread of online hate and disinformation.” According to its website, “CCDH holds [the social media companies] accountable and responsible for their business choices by . . . advocating change from platforms and governments to protect our communities.” The Biden White House relied on CCDH’s report titled “The Disinformation Dozen,” in its unconstitutional pressure campaign against social media platforms to censor those, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who CCDH maligned as “anti-vaxxers . . . responsible for almost two-thirds of anti-vaccine content circulating on social media platforms.”

His words are too kind in this writer’s opinion. The longer the GOP waits to openly call on the DNC-CCP to be declared a seditious anti-American terrorist organization, the less likely such charges will stick with the masses, who, by and large, mostly go with the flow of the perceived winner in the power plays at the top of the pyramid. The DNC-CCP won’t be waiting, isn’t waiting, to label the GOP and anyone not supporting “the party” traitors and insurrectionists. They have already thrown people in jail and are working to throw more people in jail for daring to question the “truth” the DNC-CCP needs you to believe to hold on to their ill-gotten powers.

This is more than unconstitutional, it is another action among many that is openly and actively seditious, in direct violation of our republic’s Rule of Law, and this writer is still waiting for a real American opposition party to challenge the legitimacy of the Democratic Party in an American republic. Until that happens, one cannot help but suspect even the actions of Jim Jordan are little more than bluster intended to deliver no real results, the criminalization of the DNC-CCP and the full restoration of our American republic.

Illinois Governor Hopes to Kill 2A Rights By Suing Gun Manufacturers Out of Existence

Paul Collier September 6, 2023

The anti-American ideologue billionaire Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) approved a measure that opens up firearms manufacturers to unconstitutional lawsuits by leftist-funded hate groups seeking to disarm American citizens to hasten the death of the republic.

The bill was signed one day after the State Supreme Court revealed it had 4 quislings and 3 Americans on its court, with the quislings holding that it was ok to allow citizens (really, special interest hit squads) to sue gun manufacturers for “deceptive marketing,” specifically for using marketing tactics designed to get people under 18 to buy guns, a standard that will never, can never be defined and will always be open to the interpretation of jurors alone.

His reasoning is articulated in this statement, “You know, we hold opioid manufacturers accountable. We hold vaping companies accountable. We hold predatory lenders accountable. Gun manufacturers shouldn’t get to hide from the law and now they won’t be able to.”

Just that statement alone shows how void of logic and reason, and American values, this man is. No one who purchases a gun believes that if you shoot someone you won’t hurt them, possibly kill them. Drug manufacturers and vaping manufacturers are held liable if the use of their product brings harm on the person they knew it would bring without informing them of the risks of using the product.

This bill, starting off by making it about marketing to people under 18, minors, is intended to set a precedent that would be expanded to include marketing to adults, giving anti-American hate groups like Everytown the ability to sue gun manufacturers out of existence, to indirectly deny Americans their basic human right to self-defense so the thought police these activists need to stay in power will have no resistance when they openly violate our American rule of law.

In addition to opening up gun manufacturers to civil liability for marketing to kids, the bill also allows people to sue them if they think they marketed to paramilitary or private militia-related “activities,” even though we have a right to self-defense not just against individuals but against our own government as well (from the Declaration of Independence, our founding legal document).

The law is an open act of sedition against the republic that, if Americans once again rule over this land, will be rightly viewed as an overt act of civil war against the republic, facilitated by everyone who voted for this bill, the governor who signed this bill, the courts that allowed it, in open defiance of our rule of law, and the police that enforce it.

Illinois has fallen, joining the ranks of states like New York and California in creating a new nation, progmerica, which is no America at all.

ED.NOTE: In a future issue of our monthly publication (FIA Monthly) to come, expect a full report on the seditious billionaire governor of Illinois who appears to be building a fascist state in our midst, with the signing of over 80 bills within the first few months of his tenure, many of which codify into law the seditious ideology of the DNC-CCP. Pritzker is a fascist king in the making, and one doubts his ambitions stop at the borders of Illinois, though he’ll have to compete against the likes of Gavin Newsome to be the last wicked highlander standing in that brutal political war of violence the left has created in America today.

You Never Go Full ‘Don Quixote’ – Or, When ‘Crazy Eddie’ Throws Pasta

Michael Cessna September 1, 2023

In 1974, authors Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, writing in their seminal science fiction novel “The Mote In God’s Eye”, coined a character concept called “Crazy Eddie”, a concept-figure who would appear in a society’s mindset at time of extreme social stress, and take the most insane and contradictory actions possible, which usually resulted in accelerating the collapse of a society or civilization.

The world is in a remarkable state of tumult as of September 1 of 2023. The war in Ukraine is well into its second year. In Africa, a wave of military coups is obliterating France’s sixty-plus year old “totally-not-an-empire”, sending the region and the wider world into a frenzy of impotent rage, as no one wants to wade into a quagmire against black nations standing up to imperialist and corporate interests. Russia and China, aside from rattling military sabers to whet the appetite of the ravenous bloodlust of the Western media and entertainment spheres, are quietly marching towards an economic checkmate against the West, in a move that will not simply destroy the Western business models, but will smash Western economies flat, potentially reducing many Western European economies to a state no scene since the post-World War 2 recovery, and the Marshall Plan…only there won’t be a Marshall Plan this time. Maybe a Putin-Xi Plan, but not a Marshall Plan.

Pretty heavy for an opening bit, eh?

Amid all of the current tumult in the United States – the possible return of Covid lockdown restrictions not least among those – there is a quietly increasing crescendo calling for actual military intervention – meaning, “invasion” – of Mexico, in order to “deal” with the flow of illegal drugs.

I wish I were joking.

The current power bloc in Washington, DC – supported by their cohorts in The City of London, Paris, and Brussels – had goaded Russia into what they thought would be a “warm-n-fuzzy” kind of “Cold War, 2.0”; what they got was a full-on invasion. Although there initial, hysterical screams to “go to war” with Russia, both from within the power blocs and from those in the general public who should probably be on emotional-management medications, it soon dawned on most people that “going to war” with Russia would almost certainly mean a “nuclear” war, that no one would “win”.

Then came Africa: Beginning in 2017 (YouTube link), people seemed to suddenly remember that there were still islamist jihadi’s out in the world, burning, looting, raping and killing people in order to serve the warped vision of religion espoused by a tortured political prisoner. However, murderous religious maniacs were “so three years ago”, and virtually no one on the “Western Street” considered barely-literate bandits hiding under the cloak of religious fervor to be an existential threat to Western civilization. Likewise, the recent wave of coups – not coming at the behest of Western governments and corporations – aren’t exactly revving the martial engines of Western populations being crushed under rancid economies and continual political scandals.

Something else was needed…And in the United States that answer is, increasingly, the illicit drug problem.

And it is a problem: tens of thousands of Americans die every year from drug overdoses, a large percentage involving the drug fentanyl. Unlike the normal cries for “Bayonets UP!”, however, this group of calls comes from the opposite side of the aisle: instead of Democrats leading the charge for military intervention, this time, the main thrust is coming from the Republican side of the fence.

This should not be a surprise, given the GOP’s continuous cries against illicit drugs. After all, it was no less a figure than Richard Nixon, who authorized the placing of cannabis (aka, “marijuana”) on the list of drugs as a Schedule 1 compound, right next to heroin – a position it retains to this writing – in 1970. And, like the vigorously enforced alcohol raids of the Prohibition Era – also enforced by successive Republican administrations – the GOP’s “war on drugs” has directly sparked the explosive growth of massive, high-revenue and well-armed and frighteningly well-equipped drug cartels, who have an international reach, and who have now diversified into human trafficking.

Given the abject inability of the US military to deal with the opium trade in Afghanistan during its twenty-year long occupation of the country – which saw opium poppy fields expand five-fold – the idea that a smaller military, struggling with recruiting efforts, and quietly speaking the dreaded “D-Word” out loud, can deal with the various drug cartels is not a matter for political or military debate, but a matter to be dealt with by mental health counselors.

The US military is having trouble recruiting people with bonuses exceeding $50,000 to sign up. As Mexico itself has discovered, military recruiters have a hard time competing with their counterparts in the Cartels, especially if the Cartel recruiters can use Mafia-like threats against potential recruits’ families. Likewise, the Cartels not only pay what regular forces term “combat pay”, but offer bounties against specific targets.

As well, with revenues between US$20 billion and US$60 billion per year (minimum), and far less overhead than conventional corporations and nation states, the Cartels have plenty of cash left over for high-intensity R&D: the wave of combat footage coming out of Ukraine, showing drones – from both sides – dropping small bomblets into trenches and bunkers are merely the current state of a technology pioneered by the Cartels, and refined in Syria in the aftermath of the rise of ISIL.

Much worse, from both a tactical and an operational standpoint, is the ability of Cartel members to blend into the general population. While islamist jihadis are comparatively easy to target, as they belong to a very narrow slice of the US population, Cartel members are a subset of the largest minority group in the United States. Where – to get rather “ugly” about it – potential jihadists tend to limit themselves to Muslim mosques, Cartel soldiers are largely Catholic, and are thus able to circulate freely among the Catholic population, the fastest-growing Christian denomination in the world.

The Cartel’s leadership echelons are not idiots. In fact, a distressing number began as military professionals, as is clear from their ability to organize a military-style logistics system. They are watching the rhetoric coming from within Washington, DC and various other organs, both from within the government, and from government-adjacent groups – nothing presented here is new to the Cartels.

Decades of neglect of border security, up to and including the recent encouragement of millions of desperate economic refugees to cross the southern border of the United States illegally – an action which helps to fuel the cartels’ diversified revenue structure, to say nothing of the very real physical dangers of the northern Mexican deserts and the human trafficking predations of the “coyotes” – has fueled an massive surge in drug-related deaths across the United States. Communist China is certainly complicit in this, as they are the Cartels’ prime suppliers of fentanyl precursor drugs…something they have no issue supplying, as Beijing sees this as “payback” for the Opium Wars…but that is a whole other story.

With the hyperventilating actions of people who should know better, calling for a Presidential authorization to use military force against the Cartels, alongside equally breathless and stentorian calls to designate the Cartels as “Foreign Terrorist Organizations” (FTO’s), and coupled to a military establishment that has seemingly lost its way, to the point where it is quietly considering a return to a military Draft, the notion of an all-out “hot” war on the southern border of the United States is the height of lunacy, a lunacy driven by both sides of increasingly incompetent power blocs.

“We, the People” have allowed our “elected” leaders to paint us into a corner, a corner from which there is no real way out, except through the use of extreme levels of violence.

Kind of like Africa in the last few months.

AI Becoming Precrime Tool for Law Enforcement in America and UK

Freedomist Editor July 28, 2023

In 2001, the UK introduced an early AI program called Oasys to help them develop a pre-crime strategy against former inmates. Since then, the program has expanded, but with little accountability, causing some to question the legality of the system that seems to pre-emptively violate the rights of citizens based on the presumption they’re about to commit a crime. The program has gained much interest from American authorities. Similar programs are sold to American law enforcement today.

From jstor.org: With the dawn of artificial intelligence (AI), a slew of new machine learning tools promise to help protect us—quickly and precisely tracking those who may commit a crime before it happens—through data. Past information about crime can be used as material for machine learning algorithms to make predictions about future crimes, and police departments are allocating resources towards prevention based on these predictions. The tools themselves, however, present a problem: The data being used to “teach” the software systems is embedded with bias, and only serves to reinforce inequality.

From phys.org:

The available information suggests that Oasys is calibrated to predict risk. The algorithms consume the data probation officers obtain during interviews and information in self-assessment questionnaires completed by the person in question. That data is then used to score a set of risk factors (criminogenic needs). According to the designers, scientific studies indicate that these needs are linked to risks of reoffending.

The risk factors include static (unchangeable) things such as criminal history and age. But they also comprise dynamic (changeable) factors. In Oasys, dynamic factors include: accommodation, employability, relationships, lifestyle, drugs misuse, alcohol misuse, thinking and behavior, and attitudes. Different weights are assigned to different risk factors as some factors are said to have greater or lesser predictive ability.

So what type of data is obtained from the person being risk assessed? Oasys has 12 sections. Two sections concern criminal history and the current offense. The other ten address areas related to needs and risk. Probation officers use discretion in scoring many of the dynamic risk factors.

Back in 2020, the ACLU sued Clearview AI for its use by law enforcement in California. From cnn.com:

Clearview AI, the controversial firm behind facial-recognition software used by law enforcement, is being sued in California by two immigrants’ rights groups to stop the company’s surveillance technology from proliferating in the state.

The complaint, which was filed Tuesday in California Superior Court in Alameda County, alleges Clearview AI’s software is still used by state and federal law enforcement to identify individuals even though several California cities have banned government use of facial recognition technology.

The lawsuit was filed by Mijente, NorCal Resist, and four individuals who identify as political activists. The suit alleges Clearview AI’s database of images violates the privacy rights of people in California broadly and that the company’s “mass surveillance technology disproportionately harms immigrants and communities of color.”

The ACLU won its case. From aclu.org:

Under a legal settlement filed in court today, Clearview AI — a secretive face surveillance company claiming to have captured more than 10 billion faceprints from peoples’ online photos across the globe — has agreed to a new set of restrictions that ensure the company is in alignment with the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), a groundbreaking Illinois privacy law.

The central provision of the settlement restricts Clearview from selling its faceprint database not just in Illinois, but across the United States. Among the provisions in the binding settlement, which will become final when approved by the court, Clearview is permanently banned, nationwide, from making its faceprint database available to most businesses and other private entities. The company will also cease selling access to its database to any entity in Illinois, including state and local police, for five years.

Democrat Youth Hate America, Poll Reveals

Paul Collier July 28, 2023

A new Gallop poll revealed only 12 percent of Democrats between the ages of 18 and 34 are “extremely proud” to be American, in contrast to 42 percent of Republicans in the same age group. A total of 42 percent of the same group of Democrats are either very or somewhat proud to be American, while 77 percent of Republicans in the same group say the same.

A conservative Christian professor from John Brown University, Daniel Bennett, said of the poll, “My read is partisan cues are playing a big role here, especially in the Trump era. ‘Make America Great Again’ and the subculture around it emphasizes pride in American identity, respect for the flag, etc.”

He told The College Fix, “For Democrats, there may be a concern that emphasizing pride in one’s American-ness align them too close with the MAGA crowd. Also, historically Democrats have been less willing to express pride in America than Republicans, probably because of a focus on the negatives in the country’s history (especially on race and foreign policy).”

“I think it’s actually more interesting, that it’s just 42 percent of young Republicans who are proud to be Americans – that seems low to me. Then again, it could be a young person/disillusionment thing.”

He should just say the quiet part out loud, Democrats have been indoctrinated by our school system, from kindergarten to college, to hate America and equate it with White Supremacism.

This writer believes the reason the number is only 42 percent among republicans is some are answering the question from a perspective of the now of America, run by seditionists and pedo-cult advocates, and some answered the question of a perspective of the promise of an American republic that respects the Rule of Law as defined by our Constitution.

Mexico Wants Biden Admin to Allow Them to Bankrupt American Gun Manufacturers

Paul Collier July 28, 2023

The nation of Mexico had the audacity to attempt to sue gun manufacturers for crimes committed using their guns. They were inspired by the Democrats to do this after they allowed gun manufacturers to be sued by American citizens for the same reason, a move that, if it is allowed to stand, would end gun manufacturing and selling in America, which is what both Mexico and the Biden administration want. Mexico was shut down in the lawsuit and now they want another bite at the treacherous apple, making themselves an enemy of the American people.

The Mexican government said in its violent appeal, “What we want is an injunction to make these defendants start paying attention to their distribution systems,” he said. “And it’s only U.S. courts that can provide that injunctive relief.”

A lawyer for Smith and Wesson, Noel Francisco, responded to the insane appeal, “You have licensed manufacturers that sell to licensed distributors that sell to licensed retailers that sell to individuals who satisfy the requirements of federal law, but some of them happen to be straw purchasers.”

What he should have said is this, “This is an act of war against the sovereignty of the American state and a direct assault on our Rule of Law, the Constitution. Any ruling by any judge that entertains this lawfare assault on the American people should be immediately removed from office and prosecuted for high crimes and misdemeanors. This effort should never be given any consideration by an American court that upholds and defends the Constitution.”

U.S. Circuit Judge William Kayatta is entertaining the lawsuit and will rule in the coming months. Obviously, if Americans were in charge of our own government this Judge would be the first to be removed and prosecuted. He was appointed by the first openly anti-American President since FDR, Barack Hussein Obama.

His convoluted “logic” is, according to Yahoo Finance, U.S. Circuit Judge William Kayatta said that while Mexico had not alleged the gun makers directly violated any gun laws, one of its core legal theories was that they aided and abetted others who trafficked guns abroad, creating potential liability. “What’s wrong with it?” Kayatta asked.
