The Israel Lobby declares war on Minnesota rep. Ilhan Omar

It’s quite the commentary on the extent of the present-day political decay in the U.S. that a Somali-born, Muslim black woman from Minnesota displays more loyalty to the U.S., its citizens, and the Constitution than virtually the entirety of the swirling gaudy, preening refuse in Washington D.C. An avalanche of essays, written by sycophantic stenographers of the Political Class, have denounced Omar in the most slanderous and vulgar of ways, and yet she has held onto her grace. And that grace under fire grows exponentially each day, as she doesn’t lose her cool, or buckle under pressure as the hatred pours in. “Anti-semite!” is all that’s spat at her, the age-old race card, the last refuge of a coward, and proof positive that Omar’s critics have no response to her legitimate criticism of Israel’s stranglehold on American politics. Everyone is afraid to criticize Israel, and what they fear is that what is happening to Omar would happen to them. Legitimate fear among the D.C. invertebrates that decide the fate of our nation. So, is what Omar said anti-Semitic in any way? Look for yourself, with your own eyes, and answer yourself honestly:

Any of that untrue? That unblinded ‘Self’ in your head just answered you honestly, before the rationalizations and incepted indignation had time to defend. You know it’s true. Everyone knows it. That’s why the Political Class is so pissed off. And because she intransigently refuses to pledge allegiance to any country other than the one she was elected to serve, and plainly says so, she’s branded an anti-Semite by the people who have pledged their allegiance to a foreign power. And that legion of corrupt garbage is speaking in one voice, indignant that the scam is being exposed.

Ilhan Omar has so far only made one mistake: she apologized. That was the green light for the deluge of animosity. Let’s hope she doesn’t break.

And for what it’s worth, the current “Great Satan” of the Republican Party, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has defended Omar from the very beginning of the controversy, unlike every other member of the Political Class, save for Rashida Tlaib. I have yet to hear AOC’s full views on endless war, but if she opposes it with even half the vehemence of Tulsi Gabbard, I will defend her. The Empire must end if the Republic is to be reborn. Raining death and delivering into the hands of chaos an endless string of countries cannot continue.

The hope for liberty doesn’t lie in those vacuous avatars of the Welfare/Warfare state with no soul left to sell, who wrap themselves in the flag, ornamented with the relics of a long-dead Republic, wearing its skin and pretending to be the very embodiment of the American Revolution rather than merely one of its many assassins. They sleep uneasily next to its grave, because they didn’t scatter the ashes. That Republic will return out of the embers they failed to extinguish, although in a form few of us will recognize. That may come in the form of a Somali- or Hawaiian-born, lion-hearted Congresswoman who questions our entangled alliances or regime change wars, questioning the very foundation of smoke upon which the entire Empire is swaying upon. The defenders of that empire, the Philistines, fat, ignorant, and half-dead off the purloined wealth of a captive congregation, long serving the greatest monster ever to drag its claws across the world, will disappear in the wind when their master dies and liberty returns.

Invaluable advice from Pot Brothers at Law

In an age of rampant police and DA abuse, here is some priceless, and simple, advice from two lawyers:

As strange as it may sound, I like lawyers. They can be very empowering, and their very simple advice is basically what the above attorneys are giving: “Do not let yourself be intimidated into speaking to the cops, or anyone else, without my presence.” Lawyers on TV, when walking into an interrogation, immediately tell their client to stop talking. I’ve asked one of the most successful attorneys in Oklahoma if this really happens, and yes, it does. They want you to stop talking yourself into a cell.  Many cops will act like your buddy while coaxing damning information out of you, the DA will try to intimidate you into settling out of court. Don’t! Crooked cops, crooked DAs, vengeful idiots who might be using the legal system to harass you, are afraid of court.  The courtroom is a sobering environment, and if you’ve shut your trap all the way up until you get into court, you’ll be amazed at how quickly the other side falls to pieces. Cases that are forced to go to court get thrown out all the time. Unfortunately, many people, usually poor or uninformed people, take plea deals just to get the circus over with, but end up walking away with a criminal record. Take to heart the above advice, and when some agent of the State is pretending to be your buddy, shut the f— up!

Why the push to censor vaccine skeptics? Because they’re persuasive.

While many rightly cheered the rise of the internet in the 90’s, seeing it as the herald of the end of the one-viewpoint corporate news of the 20th century, ‘Big Media’ has returned in a big way to the internet itself. The “internet ghettos”, as Matt Drudge aptly christened the gargantuan digital empires of Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, YouTube, Instagram, Microsoft, and Google, have roped most people in, and, having done that, can now funnel whichever viewpoint it desires to its users. And these companies aren’t private in the least, but up to their necks in government contracts, willingly doing the bidding of the government lest those contracts and favors dry up.  Amazon, another digital behemoth, is in the final stages of sealing the deal on a $10-billion ‘JEDI’ cloud contract with the Pentagon, making the federal government its number one customer. And let’s not forget Microsoft, who is a shoo-in for an $8 billion contract with the Department of Defense. The 20th century gatekeepers of acceptable opinion have been reincarnated in the form of these internet giants, and they are seeking to rein in the miracle of the internet, and “de-platform” anyone with opinions they happen to disagree with. One such viewpoint is that of vaccine skepticism, which has found a thriving home on social media. Families with vaccine-injured members can network, organize, share research, and educate themselves on the subject. They are very persuasive, and, in response, the government-protected Gargantuas of the web have begun a slow purge. Pinterest has censored vaccine-skeptical content, Amazon has removed vaccine-skeptical documentaries from Prime, and now Facebook will almost certainly be the next internet giant to succumb to the pressure to censor the growing, organized movement of concerned citizens over the current vaccine policy. What are they afraid of? Well, they’re afraid of the persuasiveness of the vaccine skeptics. They’re afraid of people like Del Bigtree, producer of Vaxxed, host of the weekly podcast The High Wire, and founder of the Informed Consent Action Network.  For an example of why they wish to de-platform people like Bigtree, listen to his comments at the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices meeting on February 27th of this year:
