DISCOURAGING: ‘Conspiracy Theories’ are not longer imaginary rantings of loonies, but warning signs of a downward trajectory

‘Conspiracy Theories’ Aren’t Theoretical Anymore
By John Green

*** begin quote ***

The national mood in the mid-twentieth century was very different from now.

  •     The United States was respected around the world — even if not necessarily liked.
  •     Technology was advancing faster than at any time in human history.
  •     Our cities were mostly orderly, safe, and clean.
  •     We believed there were few hardships which couldn’t be overcome with hard work. Opportunities seemed endless, as was our optimism.
  •     We were completely naïve about the danger posed by our own government.

Not everything was sunny. We had problems that needed attention. That is the nature of human existence after all. But when Ronald Reagan said, “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem,” we just thought he was promoting self-reliance and highlighting government inefficiency. As I said, we were naïve.

*** and ***

As we watch all this unfold, we know that vast government criminal conspiracies are no longer theoretical. There is nothing demented or delusional about believing our government would willingly facilitate the murder a political threat. The actions of the DoJ in conjunction with the legislation proposed by the Democrats makes that perfectly clear.

The plot to place Donald Trump at the tender mercies of a prison’s “genpop” is not the only evidence of government criminal conspiracy.

*** and ***

Things have changed a lot since the mid-20th century. The children of the 21st century have a completely different worldview.

  •     The United States is a corrupt and impotent international laughingstock.
  •     We’ve become technically stunted. Replacing the Francis Scott Key bridge is expected to take three times longer than building the Golden Gate bridge almost a century ago.
  •     Our cities are becoming unlivable post-apocalyptic hellscapes.
  •     “Living the American dream” is no longer a middle-class expectation.
  •     We know that fear of our own government is a prudent mindset.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. doesn’t sound so crazy now that the conspiracies are no longer theoretical.

John Green is a retired engineer and political refugee from Minnesota, now residing in Idaho. He spent his career designing complex defense systems, developing high performance organizations, and doing corporate strategic planning. He is a staff writer for the American Free News Network and can be reached at greenjeg@gmail.com.

And lest we forget that JFK was killed by the Deep State to prevent him from ending the Vietnam War and sending LBJ to prison.

Can the USA ever return to its former greatness?

Not very likely,  Argh!

RANT: Of course. there never is and evidence of voter fraud?

Ohio Volunteers Uncover Massive Irregularities in Voter Database
By Jack Gleason

*** begin quote ***

The day after certification in 2022, the Ohio statewide voter roll database showed:

  •     58,209 resided in an apartment or in a mobile home lot but had no unit number as required on their voter registration application to ensure proper delivery of mail, including mail-in ballot material.
  •     4,143 were older than the oldest person in the U.S. at the time or were too young to legally register.
  •     6,348 had a date of birth that was different in 2022 than it was in 2020.
  •     253,486 voters supposedly registered on January 1st, 84,221 voters registered on another Federal holiday and 201,693 voters registered on Sunday — all times when Ohio boards of elections and state offices are closed.
  •     120,094 had registration dates in the 2022 state voter file that were earlier than their registration date in the 2020 file. 59,025 people were listed as registering to vote before they were born.
  •     243,583 had state identification numbers that had changed since 2020, even though federal laws require each voter be issued “a unique state identifier.” 34,233 had 2 to 5 registration records with different state identification numbers, making it possible for them to vote more than once.

*** end quote ***

Seems there is ALWAYS evidence of voter fraud.  What is everyone looking at?  They say “justice is blind”; maybe that is what is meant.

DISCOURAGING: Will SCOTUS reign in “Javert” Jack Smith

Jack Smith Will Annoy the Supreme Court
By Sean Ross Callaghan 

*** begin quote ***

A unanimous Supreme Court should restore the federal courts’ reputation by denouncing “Javert” Jack Smith and his jurisprudence of jihad and announcing that it will take all due time to consider presidential immunity from criminal prosecution and to craft an opinion to stand the test of time, the timing of the election be damned.

*** end quote ***

One can only hope that SCOTUS or some other fair-minded judge puts a HARD STOP to this “law fare”!

GUNS: Israel’s gun-control policies are much stricter than those of other countries

Israel and Gun Control
By Jessica Geraghty

*** begin quote ***

Israel’s gun-control policies are much stricter than those of other countries typically known to be anti-gun, including Australia and England, says Stern.He believes that recent media narratives paint an all-too-forgiving picture of the willingness of Israeli leaders to arm and protect their citizens.

Jessica Geraghty is an established freelance writer and blogger who has over 15 years of experience writing for businesses, political candidates and news publications. Most recently, topics she has written about include human resources, informed consent, the Second Amendment and real estate.

*** end quote ***

So, all the pictures of gun toting Israeli’s is “bull <synonym for excrement>”!

No wonder the October 7th attack by Hamas was so successful. The people were like lambs to be slaughtered.

It’s a well known meme about Germans were disarmed and then you got the Holocaust.  A lesson that has been repeated several times in history. 

So when do “We, The Sheeple” wake up?

VOCABULARY: “death-by-queue” caused by socialized medicine?

Restoring Public Trust In Doctors
By Deane Waldman, M.D. 

*** begin quote ***

After unaffordability, inaccessibility is another compelling reason for distrust. What good is an assigned physician if I can’t get to see the doctor? Before the Affordable Care Act (ACA, 2010), the maximum average wait time to see a primary care physician was 99 days. After ACA went into effect, wait time increased to 122 days, causing death-by-queue. Cutting wait times requires reinserting free market forces into healthcare so that clinicians are incentivized to provide timely service and can afford to do so.

*** end quote ***

The only solution is to get Gooferment and Big Insurance out of health care.

GUNS: “Never ever give up your guns, because the minute you do you become a helpless victim”

Hamas Massacres: The New Face of Gun Control
By Hank Vanderbeek

*** begin quote ***

Blizovsky told the Times he believes the atrocities committed by Hamas could have been avoided if more Israeli civilians had firearms.

Never ever give up your guns, because the minute you do you become a helpless victim. You never know when something like an inhumane attack on the homeland will happen. We have open borders through which illegal immigrants pour in from the entire world. We are not just talking about refugees from Central America and Mexico. Deranged Middle Easterners are entering unfettered. What are their plans? Entire terror cells could be walking across the borders.

Don’t believe someone who tells you to give up your guns to make society safe. The Second Amendment allows us to keep and bears arms to keep us safe, not to take our arms to keep us safe. 

In the end, Stern said the Israeli government’s restriction on civilian firearms ownership cost hundreds of civilian lives. That grave injustice should never be forgotten.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but the Gooferment is the “gang that can’t shoot straight” and can’t protect its citizens.  The police come after the fact and draw chalk lines around the dead victims.  

We need to go back to the Old West ethic that everyone is responsible for “keeping the peace”.

Everyone needs to be armed at all times if they feel capable of doing it.

POLITICAL: It is the border, economy, and the debt, stupid!

It’s The Border, Stupid!
By Brian C. Joondeph

*** begin quote ***

As the 2024 presidential election nears with the world on the brink of, or already in, World War Three, America must make a serious choice in 13 months. Will America course correctly or slide into bankruptcy and irrelevancy on the world stage? Perhaps the feckless Republicans need a rallying cry.

Bill Clinton had one when he ran against ruling class scion George HW Bush. “It’s the economy stupid” was a phrase James Carville coined in 1992 when he was advising Bill Clinton in his successful run for the White House.

In 2023, it’s the economy again, but not only the economy. Our national debt is over $33 trillion, growing by $5 billion a day, with interest payments costing taxpayers almost $2 billion each day. Much of it is or was going to one of the most corrupt countries in the world, holding no vital US interest, or spent on the nonsensical “Green New Deal,” while most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

*** end quote ***

Hopefully, “We, The Sheeple” can keep three priorities in their mind when they are voting!

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: We’re fromt he Gooferment and we’re here to help!

If We the People Were Actually in Charge
By J.B. Shurk

*** begin quote ***

Perhaps no greater delusion stubbornly persists from one generation to the next than the idea that governments can be trusted. Sure, they conduct their affairs in secret, spy on their own people, and arm themselves to the teeth — but, by all means, trust them as you would a dear relative. Sure, they steal from productive citizens, manipulate markets, and swell their bureaucratic armies with ever-growing taxes — but, by all means, trust them as you would a close business associate. Sure, they impose their beliefs on our culture, ban the public expression of unfavored religions, and interpose their agents between parents and children — but, by all means, trust them as you might a pastor, rabbi, or priest.

*** end quote ***

Ronald Regan’s words rang true.  The Gooferment is not only NOT your friend.  It’s your enemy.  And, should be treated as such.

IMHO

Argh!

GUNS: Protect schools with real resources

Thursday, September 21, 2023

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/09/time_to_get_serious_about_protecting_our_schools.html

Time to Get Serious about Protecting Our Schools
By David Huntwork

*** begin quote ***

Many years ago, Israel faced waves of terror attacks against soft targets. The Israelis responded by seriously hardening their schools and other more vulnerable locations. Much of that added security was in the form of well armed and well trained personnel specifically designated to deter and defeat the type of threats we are now seeing directed at U.S. schools. What we do not see now is anyone successfully targeting or attacking Israeli schools. There are good reasons for that, and we should not be afraid to learn from the hard lessons of others.

*** end quote ***

I remember that when the Israelis hardened their schools, they were reported to be using grandparents as “extra security”.  I remember thinking at the time about how smart that was.  Grandparents would willingly sacrifice themselves for their grandchildren.  And, no one would be more vigilant about “school security” than they would be.

As this article suggest, let’s not put an added burden on police but have a real force who’s mission was singularly focused.

Bring sanity back to society.

POLITICAL: Just say “no” to Federal Funds!

Tuesday, September 19, 2023

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/09/why_state_schools_should_refuse_federal_money.html

Why State Schools Should Refuse Federal Money
By Sheri Few

*** begin quote ***

The key to eliminating federal intervention in government schools is to eliminate federal funding.

The time is right for states to wean themselves off the federal dole. Serious conversations are taking place throughout the country about the legitimate and effective role of the federal government in education. But who has a viable plan to dismantle the behemoth?

The “Blueprint to Establish State Control of Education by Eliminating all Federal Education Dollars,” written by United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) outlines the necessary steps to restore state sovereignty for education policy and practice — and it’s achievable.

The Blueprint explains detailed steps to help governors and state legislators develop and execute a concrete plan, and even provides clear evidence as to how educational outcomes can improve.

States can eliminate federal funding in four steps:

1. Analyze education funds by source: federal, state, and local.

2. Conduct a Cost of Compliance Study for federal funds.

3. Identify state programs to replace USED programs.

4. Shift education revenue responsibilities entirely back to the state.

*** and ***

One approach to generate required revenue could be to establish a state tax called “offset to federal funds” calculated to collect the amount needed. Since most of the federal tax is collected from income taxes, a replacement tax using the same model might be most easily understood by the public.

To keep from sending the federal government the money they previously took and gave back, taxpayers would need a mechanism to deduct this offset from their individual federal taxes. Since the state and local tax deductions were eliminated in the last major tax bill, a special arrangement would have to be made. However, there is benefit to the federal government in this arrangement as the savings from program improvements would be shared with them, since only the replacement funding is deducted.

*** end quote ***

Like the mouse that doesn’t understand “free cheese”, so to “We, The Sheeple” need to just say “no” to “Federal funds”.

First off, there are NO “Federal funds”  — EVERYTHING comes from the Taxpayer in one way or another.

(The idea of sending money to the Federal Gooferment and getting pennies on the dollars back tied to conditions NEVER made any sense to me.  Eliminate all the layers and cost associated with it.)

Second, the results of Gooferment Skrules is absurd.

Argh!

Stop it.
