POLITICAL: Zohran Mamdani is a self proclaimed Communist; what are New Yorkers thinking?

Three men smiling, two in suits and one in a white thobe, in an office with bookshelves.

Zohran Mamdani’s alleged terror-tied imam ally, Siraj Wahhaj, once ripped the United States as “filthy” and “sick” in a hate-filled rant.

I don’t understand what the voters of the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerk could possibly be thinking.

No man or group of men—including any group of men calling themselves “the government”—is morally entitled to initiate (that is, to start) the use of physical force, the threat of force, or any substitute for force (such as fraud) against any other man or group of men. “The Market for Liberty” Linda & Morris Tannehill (1970)

And, any reading of history will show that once you vote in “socialism” aka “communism”, it takes a violent revolution to get rid of it.   A lot of people die!

Anyone remember Mao, Pol Pot, and all the other Communist “revolutionaries” and how many dead bodies they produced.

Same thing is happening in the USA with “leftist” judges who don’t seek to protect the citizens and other innocent victims.

It has to stop IMMEDIATELY.

POLITICAL: The Epstein “Evidence List” is damning

The Epstein “Evidence List” isn’t just damning—it’s clarifying. No matter what you believe about Epstein’s past or fate, five conclusions can be logically drawn from the material seized.
This thread is for anyone who still cares about truth.

FROM LUDDITE

Anyone think Epstein was stupid enough to keep a client list?

# – # – # – # – #

Yes. I AM. If this was an intelligence operation by — either or all — CIA, Mossad, MI6, Ukraine?, Russia —of some combination of them, then I believe extensive organized “evidence” was preserved in various places —his island, his apartment, in the archives of one or more intelligence services.

As evidence, I offer the “sweetheart plea deal” by the Federal Gooferment, the paintings in his apartment, and Musk’s assertion of a “list”.

IMHO this one is not going away.

And, the sooner the “list” is published then the sooner we can excise this “moral cancer” from out collective conscious.

Rep. Thomas Massie urges transparency on Epstein victim list, says names should be released
September 19, 2025
ABC 36 Digital Staff

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON (ABC36 NEWS NOW) – Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie is calling for more transparency from federal investigators after saying the FBI has received at least 20 names from Jeffrey Epstein victims that have not been made public.

Massie told reporters that the list of names given to investigators has not been released and suggested two possibilities for why: either the FBI doubts the victims’ credibility, or the agency is protecting “rich and powerful people.” “This is not a hoax. There are more names. Those names are not being released,” Massie said. “The only argument for not releasing those names is either the FBI doesn’t think the victims are credible or they don’t want to embarrass those rich and powerful people.”

So, OBVIOUSLY, there is a “list” and it shoulda, coulda, and woulda be released!

Argh!

End Judicial Findings
What if you were acquitted but they imprisoned you anyway?

Five Ways the Feds Foster Mass Incarceration
Where did judicial findings come from?

Judicial findings are a power judges created out of thin air. It means that acquitted or uncharged conduct can be treated as a relevant “finding” at sentencing. This power has been consitently abused. Here’s an example…
How judicial findings imprisoned Ross Ulbricht for life.

Ross Ulbricht made national news when he was pardoned in the first days of the Trump administration. Ross created Silk Road which didn’t ban the sale of contraband items. Needless to say, federal police didn’t like that.

Subject: The Ian Freeman false imprisonment

Learn how it happened View this email in your browser How did Ian Freeman fall prey to false imprisonment, even though he evaded the IRS agent’s sting operation? Most libertarians are familiar with the Ross Ulbricht story. In review, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for charges that were not even tested in court, and for which he was not convicted. 

You are probably also aware that President Trump promised to pardon Ross during the campaign and then promptly kept that promise. 

Now comes another miscarriage of justice, which we hope will also have a good ending. You can help that happen. Ian Freeman was a libertarian activist in Keene, New Hampshire. He was also a partner with Mark Edge in one of the most successful radio talk shows in America, Free Talk Live. 

In a recent episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka I interviewed Mark Edge to explore who Ian Freeman is, my relationship with both of them, and how Ian was sentenced to eight years in prison, despite committing no authentic crime. Watch On Rumble OR Free Ian Freeman, with Mark Edge – Gracearchy with Jim Babka EP143 This story involves…

*** end quote ***

I knew Ian when I was up in Keene.  He was a passionate little L libertarian activist then; I think still is now.  He was always truthful and honest that I’m aware of.  From the facts that have been published, I think he got the “you know what” end of the stick.  He’s always been a persistent PIA to the politicians and bureaucrats so it’s no wonder that “they” decided to take him out.  An ardent ₿itcoin advocate, he was always using that to attack the Federal Reserve System and fractional reserve banking.  I think he was finally making a dent in the Keene economy with people and business using ₿itcoin, Goldbacks, Silver, and barter.  Can’t have that shaking “We, The Sheeple” awake.  So this fraudulent justice sent him to jail.  Many great leaders have been “railroaded” and here’s one case you can do something about.

Free Ian.  End “Judicial Findings”.  Start impeaching judges for their conduct.

 

No man or group of men—including any group of men calling themselves “the government”—is morally entitled to initiate (that is, to start) the use of physical force, the threat of force, or any substitute for force (such as fraud) against any other man or group of men. “The Market for Liberty” Linda & Morris Tannehill (1970)

Time to take a stand.

Paratattein (παρατάττειν)  “Form the line!” — attributed to Leonidas to prepare his men for battle at Thermopylae

“…if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” — Churchill, The Second World War, vol. 1, The Gathering Storm (London: Cassell, 1948, 272, on the British guarantee to Poland in Spring 1939.)

POLITICAL: Term limits and some other limits!

Saturday, October 11, 2025

{tip of the old tin foil hat to @GuntherEagleman for the idea!}

Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman

There should be a way Americans could vote for term limits and bypass Congress.

If 90% of the American people support term limits, it shouldn’t be blocked by 500+ corrupt members of congress.

*** end quote ***

Of course, I’d add a few:

  • Maximum age for politicians and bureaucrats should be the full retirement age of social security
  • Minimum age for politicians and bureaucrats should be 21
  • Only politicians, who are vets, can vote to send the military in harms way
  • ALL politicians MUST be native born in the USA with each parent being a US Citizen
  • ALL bureaucrats MUST be a US Citizen 
  • Politicians and bureaucrats may NOT hold “dual citizenships”
  • All politicians and bureaucrats must publish all “investments” 90 days before executing them
  • Politicians and bureaucrats must publish ALL tax returns for the last 20 years
  • Politicians must publish ALL campaign contributions and “gifts” within 7 days of receipt
  • Bureaucrats must publish ALL “gifts” within 7 days of receipt
  • All politicians and bureaucrats must disclose all employment agreements within 7 days of receipt
  • Any Federal Budget deficit makes ALL Federal politicians ineligible for reelection

That’s all that I can think of off the top of my head!

Jasmine Crockett Provides Head-Scratching Explanation About Law: Committing Crime ‘Doesn’t Make’ Person ‘Criminal’
Jason Cohen
DCNF Reporter/Clipper

<< EDITOR ADDED DATE 2025-09-19>>

*** begin quote ***

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed on “Getting Better with Jonathan Van Ness” Wednesday that committing crimes does not make a person a “criminal.”

*** and ***

“I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn’t make them a criminal,” the continually entertaining congresswoman said. “That is completely different. Being a criminal is more so about your mindset.”

*** end quote ***

Most amusing quote.

I hope the voters in Texas take this to heart.

Maybe it’s me, but that seems “stupid”?

No wonder that the D’s are losing with quotes like these.

Maybe “three strikes and your out” is harsh criminal policy.  But surely “14 strikes and you’re still out” is just stupid. “We, The Sheeple” need the Judges to step up and protect us.

Argh!

POLITICAL: You can’t reason with crazy

Sunday, September 21, 2025

Futility of Trying to Reason With Lunatics

  • Widespread jubilation at the cold-blooded murder of Charlie Kirk reveals not only ideological possession, but also widespread mental illness.

John Leake  —  Sep 13, 2025

*** begin quote ***

For several years I’ve been turning over in my mind an idea that initially struck me as far-fetched, but now strikes me as a distinct possibility. Could it be that people suffering from some degree of mental illness are now heavily influencing or even directing cultural, political, and economic affairs? To put it more bluntly, are we now being constantly buffeted and even, in some jurisdictions, governed by lunatics?

*** and ***

I would rather take my chances at bull riding or venomous snake handing than try to reason with deranged college students. 

*** end quote ***

I’m beginning to realize that expecting change from lunatics is like “waiting for Gidot”, the second coming, an honest politician, or the Second Coming.

As such, I’m going to stop trying.  Best to keep to myself and my blog.  Not that anyone cares.

Sadly, it’s frustrating to see things that are so OBVIOUS, and those things must be in Panes 3 and 4 of everyone’s Johari window. (the Hidden area known to self but not to others, and the Unknown area known neither to self nor others)

Sadly.

# – # – # – # – # 

The Johari Window model is a tool used to improve self-awareness and interpersonal communication. It consists of four quadrants: the Open area (known to self and others), the Blind area (known to others but not to self), the Hidden area (known to self but not to others), and the Unknown area (known neither to self nor others), helping individuals understand their relationships better.

POLITICAL: When to clean the slate and start the next cycle anew?

SurvivalBlog Readers’ & Editors’ Snippets

James Wesley Rawles September 3, 2025 

*** begin quote ***

Reader R.W. in Oregon had this comment:

“Well, it took a long time but I’ve come to the conclusion that politics is like the weather. People can bitch about it but there’s not a d*mn thing they can do about it. Politics is gonna happen with or without us.

Our votes haven’t meant sh*t since before reconstruction, the “Parties” and “Machines” captured or created by bankers and industrialists made short work of that. There’s no “Right” or “Left”, it’s just “Us” vs “Them”.

Thank God for people like Smedley Butler who had the courage to call it like it is. What he said applies to the entire world, not just us. Read: “Against the Grain”. Greed and avarice breed tyranny.

The most insightful, wise and thoughtful dissection of that premise, in my opinion, is still the Federalist Papers and various books of the Bible.

Eventually, every corrupt and rotting government finally picks a war (all wars are bankers wars) or drives their economy and culture into the ditch and the people won’t take it anymore. Our job is to know when to clean the slate and start the next cycle anew.

That is the one thing we can do. And, as we are one of the last peoples on this planet to retain that one very important right, the rest of the world is looking to us to do it. 

*** end quote ***

A most interesting dictum to us all.  When is enough enough?

Do we wait for “them” to start herding us in to freight cars?  We know from history what comes after that!

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn 

Or do we, like “quiet quitting” and “quiet firing”, just refuse to kowtow to ever more increasing intrusive demands, diktats, and “trends”?

I think that ₿itcoin is the first step.  Instead of “saving” in “dollars”, I’m “saving” in ₿itcoins, GoldBacks, junk silver, and gold rounds.  Let them figure out how to “inflate” those.

YMMV

After Charlie Kirk’s Murder, Politicians Can Back Away From the Brink, or Make Matters Worse

  • The political class has been pushing the country towards a conflict nobody should want.

J.D. Tuccille | 9.11.2025 3:00 PM 

*** begin quote ***

The Young Democrats and Young Republicans of Connecticut issued a joint statement denouncing the murder.

“What happened at Utah Valley University this afternoon is unacceptable,” it reads. “We reject all forms of political violence. There is no place in our country for such acts, regardless of political disagreements.” 

*** end quote ***

Finally a little bit of sanity returns to politics.

*** begin quote ***

    Nehru: Think of what you can do by living, that you cannot do by dying… What do you want?

    Gandhi: That the fighting will stop. That you make me believe it will never start again.

*** end quote ***

This quote is preceded.  By a line, something like, “I will fast until the violence stops to atone for my part in stoking it”.  Something like that.  It’s seems that ALL politicians need to take this example and tone down the posturing.

No one should be stoking the flames of violence for any reason.  Certainly not for their political gain.

Argh!

POLITICAL: Tina M. Peters deserves better; “What you do when no one is looking defines your character.”

Tina Peters’ Open Letter to President Trump from Prison One Week Before Her 70th Birthday

Guest post by Martel Maxim

    Dear, Dear Mr. President,

    As I sit here in this cell (and notice I didn’t say “my cell” as nothing I have here is mine and can be taken at any time), I’m reminded to be grateful and how blessed we are as a nation, as well as how fragile liberty is.

    I am grateful for the multitudes praying for you, this country, and I am humbled to say for me as well.

    I long for the day I can be free to continue to fight for the foundation of our society:

    Free, fair, transparent elections.

    One week from today on September 11th, I will be 70 years old. Never in my life of 35 years of marriage, a business owner for 32, home schooling my two children, with a Navy SEAL son and a marine husband, did I ever imagine I would end up in prison for following the law and doing what was right.

    This should scare every citizen of this country. It shows how close we have come to losing this nation and our liberty that so many before us died to protect. But God chose you Mr. President, and each one of us that will rise up and answer the call.

    Your good friend, Peter Ticktin, has requoted my standards for those that have once been close as a part of the story in my life. I’ve always said “if one could be swayed by four things: money, power, position, or fear, they can be compromised. What you do when no one is looking defines your character.”

    When I used to speak to audiences about the globalists and compromised ones that wish our great nations demise, I would often say “everyone can do something. There are more of us than there are of them. They can’t get us all.”

    One day when I was telling my story of not knowing if I would die from the lung cancer that took a third of my lung, I looked up to heaven and said “Lord, if this is my time I’m ready…but you know my prayer!”

    I then repeated my life’s prayer to him which is:

    “Don’t let me leave this earth until I’ve accomplished everything you sent me here to do.”

    At that split second, I knew I was going to live. He has more for me to do. That was in 2016, the same year I walked door to door talking to anyone and everyone for you tirelessly from morning until night. And when it got dark outside, I’d be helping others on the phone calling for the vote.

    As a business owner, I knew we needed you to become our president. I never wavered, even when there were 17 candidates. God has his protection over you, as you know, and we are all grateful you took his call. He prepared you for this, and he has prepared me for this.

    Nevertheless, I’m ready to be released because the midterms are close. I feel like a racehorse held back by the starting gate. We don’t have much time. We cannot allow the continued selection of governors, secretaries of state, attorneys general, and fraudulent passage of blils and laws because of the voting machines I exposed. I want to finish the job we started.

    I cannot allow Jena Griswold to be the attorney general of Colorado, or crooked Phil Weiser to be the governor, and many more need to be displaced in this state, country, and in many nations across the world because the voice of the people has been stolen.

    The rally cry of God’s chosen people to stand up and step forward has never been greater.

    Please set me free to champion that call to the people. Use my voice, the reason they put me in prison, to be the clarion call. I didn’t raise a Navy SEAL for nothing.

    I love you, your family, and this great country.

    Thank you.

    Gratefully yours,

    Tina M. Peters

POLITICAL: 1994 IVF miracle: World’s ‘oldest baby’ born in US from embryo frozen for 30 years

Monday, August 4, 2025

1994 IVF miracle: World’s ‘oldest baby’ born in US from embryo frozen for 30 years:

A baby boy has been born in the U.S. from an embryo frozen for over three decades, setting a new record for the longest-stored embryo to result in a successful live birth.

Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, a baby boy born on July 26, 2025, to parents Lindsey (35) and Tim Pierce (34) in Ohio, is being called the world’s “oldest baby.”

According to the MIT Technology Review, the embryo that he was born from was created via in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 1994 and cryopreserved for 30 years.

The parents adopted the embryo from US-based Linda Archerd (now aged 62).

# – # – # – # – # 

This will stimulate a lot of “legal” questions: 

  • How old is the child?
  • Is there child support issues?
  • Are there health implications or developmental concerns?
  • Is this “moral”?

And that’s just off the top of my head.
