Thomas Matthew Crooks communicated with someone using encryption tech. Who was he talking to?

Will we ever know who Crooks communicated with in the lead-up to his failed assassination attempt on Trump? Is it possible to recover the messages he sent and received?

How angry a man is Tim Walz?

Posted on      by     

Video footage shows Tim Walz angrily jerking his disabled son’s arm as they walk across the stage, obliterating the stupidly cheery demeanor that Walz projects in other settings. So the real question is, how does he behave when the camera isn’t on him? He let his carefully crafted “merry doofus” facade slip for just a moment, and now its looking like Walz is just another rage-filled con artist with a talent for masking his uncontrollable anger. His little slip-up is telling. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that he’s also a dog-kicker, a screamer, and a general abuser of family members and staff when everything isn’t going exactly how he demands it should. The lesson is never to trust someone who smiles too much, and is too superficially friendly in social settings, in a similar vein as Kamala, who herself cackles and smiles uncontrollably like the Joker.

Democracy filters

Posted on      by     

Drop a lit match into a tank of gas and what happens? An explosion, and burning bodies of anyone within the blast radius. But put that tank 10 feet away, attach a tube, fuel pump, spark plugs, and a contained area where a regulated amount of fuel receives a limited spark, among other implements, and you have created a miracle of power. Democracy unfiltered is a match coming into contact with a gas tank, and the damage thus caused is an inevitability. Presidential politics, national politics, presently unfiltered, causes unimaginable destruction, and the entire nation stands within the danger zone. The United States is divided into an armed camp, Left versus Right, conservative versus liberal, et cetera. We are children playing with matches and gasoline, and every four years the fuel is increased, more distilled, more pure, and the resulting explosion far more destructive. Neighbors, families, and married couples come to hate each other, ripped apart by the manufactured chaos that descends upon us every four years. We’re pressured into taking sides, we become emotionally invested in our candidate and our party, neither of which ever comes to represent us when they claim their temporary power. National politics is destroying us, and the rage that it spawns lasts for years, even decades. We’ve all met someone still personally jilted over some Presidential campaign from decades ago. They bring that animal grudge with them into the future, remembering it at the ballot box, and when they’re spewing their bile in online rants. Berzerker, animal rage fuels Presidential campaigns, and the hucksters most gifted at channeling and inflaming that rage end up the nominees of their party, and who eventually end up in office, enacting the policies and agendas of their donors, not the people.

There must be a better way, another path to choosing the leaders who will direct the fate of the most free and tolerant nation to have ever existed. This doesn’t mean we must scrap democracy altogether, but we must install filters, rebuild the political engine, if we are not to destroy ourselves.

This means removing certain political positions from popular vote altogether. As anathema to the American conscious it may be, I believe the office of the Presidency should be removed from popular vote altogether. How should our President be chosen? By our state representatives, or by lottery, or by black robed Constitutional scholars who are themselves appointed and removed from the wildfire of mass public opinion. Our President should be someone chosen not for their ability to Pied Piper the masses, but who is bred for power, trained as a steward of the nation created by the Founders. Our President should be a king in all but name. The President’s staff should be chosen in a similar fashion, and removed from the President’s vote as well. His staff will be appointed for him, not by him. Constitutional and military scholars, with a firewall firmly placed between themselves and the influences of money. They may be shuffled at the discretion of those who appointed them, but the President himself would remain in office for a far longer length of time than a mere four years. A twenty or thirty-year term, which would force him to plan and think long-term. A smaller age window would be required to be eligible for the Presidency, say, ages 40-55. No one younger or older would be eligible to serve.

“Democracy” would be a privilege afforded to American citizens, not a God-given right to use and abuse at will. Citizens would vote in local and state elections, choosing these smaller offices, and possibly starting little fires that could easily be put out. Democracy at the national level risks a wildfire that would burn the nation down.

Democracy is dangerous, but necessary. We must treat it as such, and chain it down, regulate it intelligently, and withhold it when necessary. This obviously goes against everything we wayward, emotional, and unfocused citizens of the West. We’re taught that we are entitled to put everything to a vote. We’re taught that if we don’t get what we want, we’re entitled to burn everything down, either figuratively at the ballot box, or literally, with riots and maltov cocktails. This is the destiny of all unlimited democracies if filters are not put into place.

Who gets to vote? Legal American citizens. Even at the local level, a large degree of filtering must take place. Someone who moves to another state should be barred from voting for at least five years. A person who moves to a new city should face the same restrictions on local elections. This would prevent emigre political revolutions from masses who arrive from a state or county that they’ve destroyed through the ballot box. This would preserve the will of the local residents who have lived in the same state or town their entire lives. The consequences of emigre voting can be seen all through the Midwest, as refugees from California and other left-liberal strongholds flee to safer and more prosperous states arrive in Texas and other states, and proceed to vote how they did in their previous home.

Established residents would enjoy the privilege of voting for their state representatives, mayors, city councils and other small offices. And when in office, these functionaries would be restricted in their power as well. Taxing power would be severely restricted, as the ability to bequeath tax credits and corporate welfare to favored business entities. But that is another discussion entirely.

Our Congressional representatives would be chosen by popular vote, but those only with families and careers, non-criminals, non-vagrants, established citizens who hold a real stake in the future of their home and community.

Democracy has become a drug, and we’re addicts. Unfiltered democracy provides a fireworks show unlike any other, and far too many are content to allow their world to be disemboweled for the spectacle alone.

Democracy-induced societal fracturing will be the end of America. We must find another way.

Trump pledges to restore servicemen and women who were fired over the hideous COVID vax mandate

He also promises full back pay to those fired, along with an apology to those whose lives were destroyed by Biden’s cruel mandate.

Ron Paul created the modern limited government, antiwar movement

Posted on      by     

It’s impossible to overstate the influence of Ron Paul on a generation of writers, commentators, political organizers, and activists who have shaped and are still shaping the conversation around our endless wars, endless spending, endless money printing. Without him we would still suffer under unchallenged neocon influence over our foreign and domestic policy. I know, because I’m one of them. We owe virtually everything to him. Ron Paul, now 89 years old, is still chugging along, waging the same philosophic war against tyrannical government that he launched in 2007.

Gaza has been destroyed, as we knew it would

Posted on      by     

Israel found their opportunity to reduce Gaza to uninhabitable rubble, and they took full advantage. The civilization of Gaza is gone, having been destroyed by a diseased ideology, weaponized and coddled by the American government. “Genocide” is even losing its meaning, this is civilizational murder. The Middle East is the cradle of our world, its artifacts and its people are a direct line to the past, and yet for two decades both have been made the target of a systematic extermination. Why?

The time that America executed an Arab king

Posted on      by     

The trial and execution of Saddam Hussein by the Iraqi Interim Government was a grotesque charade, and Hussein bore the clown show as one imagines a man with royal blood would do so, shaming everyone, including Bush II, as he rebuked the judge and the verdict with  the bearing of a man that the West not been familiar with in centuries. The judges were comprised of Kurds, and the trial should be seen as political retribution against the Ba’athists, with no care whatsoever for what happened their nation after. After his execution, Iraq descended into chaos, an ancient civilization, the cradle of our civilization, destroyed, as the animal masses ripped the nation apart.

In England, free speech is smothered under a pillow of “hurt feelings”

Posted on      by     

We take for granted how rare is our First Amendment, how unique is our devotion to unfettered free expression, barring threats of violence. We Americans can say almost anything we like, question orthodoxy, question the truth of historical events, freely poke holes in the words of our rulers. The law protects us in a way that exists nowhere else on earth. It’s something we take for granted, even though the beating heart of our relatively free civilization rests on the millions of people who make use of the First Amendment to either speak freely or absorb and think over news and opinion freely published. England is one such nation that doesn’t afford their citizens this freedom, and as a result, English citizens are quelled into silence. They choose their words carefully, or they don’t speak at all, for fear of the unarmed bobbies forcing their way into their homes to make arrests for ridiculous speech crimes. The existence of speech crime in England has greatly contributed to that nation’s demise, and they will further sink into the totalitarian mire so long as they aren’t able to express themselves freely. One imagines a vast army of government spies, an online Gestapo, scouring social media for heterodox viewpoints, and sending in the police to haul English citizens away in a paddy wagon for a few nights in jail, an understandably traumatic experience for the peaceful, that is used to send a message to the rest of the populace, should they be tempted of unloading their unfiltered thoughts in a public forum. One also imagines all of England enlisted as snoops and snitches, calling in complaints of every heterodox opinion they come across, getting their ideological opponents arrested, while propping up the regime. It appears that England is looking to further extend the range of speech crimes to woolly and indefinable “misogyny”. What constitutes “misogyny” to the point that the police will haul you off? It seems to really be in the eye of the beholder, and we know the beholders that will be attracted to a job where the power exists to exact vengeance against men who express themselves online. Terrorism charges for “extreme misogyny” is laughable, but also tragic, because we know the horror stories that will emerge as this expanded law is put to use.
