9/11/2021 -- OUR NATION IS STILL UNDER ATTACK BY OUR ENEMIES

It has been 20 years since the 9/11/2001 cowardly sneak attack on America by terrorists  -- an event that killed thousands and forever changed the lives of thousands of more individuals.

As we solemnly remember those 2,977 innocent Americans and others who lost their lives simply because they went to work that fateful day or boarded a plane destined to enter history, let us reflect on how the world has changed.

George W. Bush responded to the attack with overwhelming force, not against Afghanistan and the Taliban, who harbored Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda, but against Saddam Hussein and Iraq—operating under the specious theory we needed to overthrow a Middle East dictatorship and democratize a country with a history of totalitarianism. The thinking was that we could use this success to demonstrate to others in the region that they should follow U.S. dictates or suffer a similar fate. A failed attempt at nation-building that drained our treasury and mired us in other regional conflicts.

New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the take-charge leader that led New York's recovery efforts, has since devolved into a rather pathetic figure, seemingly intoxicated, hair-dye running down his face, as he spins wild conspiracy theories that go beyond the actual evidence of election tampering.

Former President Obama and the top people in his administration who were mostly anti-America, anti-white, anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, and pro-Islam, are still deeply embedded in the leadership and bureaucracy of our nation.

All of the military men, continue their pompously strutting but are generally satisfied with their participation in a twenty-year debacle that ended up with America's first unconditional surrender of a country -- resulting in a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and Americans leaving Americans behind enemy lines as they withdraw in disgrace.

As for al Qaeda, the terrorist group led by Osama bin Laden, and the Taliban who provided the resources, unfortunately, a mentally-incapacitated President Biden and the anti-America Obamacons who pull his strings, have re-armed and empowered our enemy.

Let us remember that the Democrats allowed the massive immigration of Islamic individuals into our nation, including those Muslims that serve openly in Congress. Like the despicable un-Americans like corrupt Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), both anti-white, anti-Semitic, and anti-Israel.  Do not forget Keith X, Keith Ellison (D-MN), whose association with Louis Farrakhan and the militant black Nation of Islam is rarely mentioned.

Perhaps the real lesson to be learned today is that we must defend the United States from its enemies, both foreign and domestic, hitting them with overwhelming force without regard for collateral damage, and leaving with the promise of returning if necessary--not rebuilding that which we destroyed.

Recognizing that it is futile to attempt to take a confederation of regional authoritarian tribal powers and transform them into a somewhat democratic national state that would be respected and protected by their own army and national police force. You cannot take a medieval region into modernity if they lack a sense of nationalism, the critical civic institutions, deep educational resources, and the necessary industrialization to create a self-sustaining economy. You cannot impose any government or law which does not comport with Islam, the Quran, and the various writings of The Prophet.

As we remember the collapsing Twin Towers with people jumping to their deaths rather than being burned alive, those at the Pentagon, and Danny Lewin and the other brave passengers who crashed their aircraft into a Pennsylvania field rather than the White House, perhaps we should re-dedicate ourselves to protecting and defending our Constitution and restoring faith in our civic institutions by dealing with political corruption and the inroads of communism.

Let us honor the sacrifices of those who died and the many still suffering by restoring American exceptionalism and our national honor.

Let us not forget, the tragedy and terrorism of 9/11 are not over but have been empowered by those who rather protect their self-interests rather than our exceptional nation. Our enemies are still here in America and growing stronger each day. 

Once again, we are reminded that there are hundreds of millions of individuals whose religion commands them to enslave or kill anyone, not of their intolerant religion…

Bottom line …

Let us remember that it was Democrats that birthed Islamo-Fascism in Iran (Carter), allowed North Korea to go nuclear, and China to improve their missile guidance technology (Clinton), stabilized the Iranian economy and the production of ballistic missiles capable of reaching the U.S., and set Iran on a course to develop nuclear weapons (Obama). At the same time, Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder were approving the sale of uranium to Russia.

Unless Islam is reformed, it represents a clear and present danger to America and the non-Muslim world. Do not let the far-left Democrat liberals in our government convince you otherwise. Unless we circumvent political corruption, our country will fall from within and be conquered by dollars, not bullets. 

We need to elect leaders and keep our eyes open and focused on those who pretend they are friends of the United States, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey come immediately to mind. There are no moderate Muslims – and if there are, they are ineffective in controlling the crazies among them.

We need to understand that our Constitution is not a suicide pact – and that we can take decisive action against religious threats as if they were any other enemy initiative.

“Vigilance and Peace Through Strength” are concepts that are not well understood by the Democrat party and its far-left liberal Marxist infiltrators.

DUE TO PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN, THE ENEMY IS BACK AND STRONGER THAN BEFORE--ARMED WITH U.S. MILITARY GEAR! 

We are so screwed.

Be well, be safe, and take care of yourself and your family first.

WILL THE GOVERNMENT TURN YOUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS INTO GOVERNMENT-GRANTED PRIVILEGES?

Tyranny coming our way…

Sweeping new vaccine mandates for 100 million Americans

Speaking at the White House, Biden sharply criticized the tens of millions of Americans who are not yet vaccinated, despite months of availability and incentives.

“We’ve been patient. But our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us,” he said, all but biting off his words. The unvaccinated minority “can cause a lot of damage, and they are.”

"The vast majority of Americans are doing the right thing.”

"We're in a tough stretch, and it could last for a while."

"We are going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers."

“This is not about freedom or personal choice. It's about protecting those around you."

The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is developing a rule that will require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated or require any workers who remain unvaccinated to produce a negative test result on at least a weekly basis before coming to work. OSHA will issue an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) to implement this requirement. This requirement will impact over 80 million workers in private sector businesses with 100+ employees. <Source>

Tyrannical government control is now being tested in freedom-loving Australia...  

CROCODILE-DUNDEE

(1)  In Darwin, Australia…

Darwin, Australia Adopts China’s Tech for Total Social Control

Australia is preparing to debut its version of the Chinese regime’s high-tech system for monitoring and controlling its citizens. The launch, to take place in the northern city of Darwin, will include systems to monitor people’s activity via their cell phones.

The new system is based on monitoring programs in Shenzhen, China, where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is testing its Social Credit System. Officials on the Darwin council traveled to Shenzhen, according to NT News, to “have a chance to see exactly how their Smart Technology works prior to being fully rolled out.”

In Darwin, they’ve already constructed “poles, fitted with speakers, cameras and Wi-Fi,” according to NT News, to monitor people, their movements around the city, the websites they visit, and what apps they use. The monitoring will be done mainly by artificial intelligence, but will alert authorities based on set triggers.

Just as in China, the surveillance system is being branded as a “smart city” program, and while Australian officials claim its operations are benign, they’ve announced it functions to monitor cell phone activity and “virtual fences” that will trigger alerts if people cross them.

“We’ll be getting sent an alarm saying, ‘There’s a person in this area that you’ve put a virtual fence around.’ … Boom, an alert goes out to whatever authority, whether it’s us or police to say ‘look at camera five,’” said Josh Sattler, the Darwin council’s general manager for innovation, growth, and development services, according to NT News.

The nature of the “virtual fences” and what type of activity will sound an alarm still isn’t being made clear.

The system is being promoted as mostly benign. Sattler said it will tell the government “where people are using Wi-Fi, what they’re using Wi-Fi for, are they watching YouTube, etc. All these bits of information we can share with businesses. … We can let businesses know, ‘Hey, 80 percent of people actually use Instagram within this area of the city, between these hours.’”

The CCP’s smart city Social Credit System is able to monitor each person in the society, tracking every element of their lives—including their friends, online purchases, daily behavior, and other information—and assigns each person a citizen score that determines their level of freedom in society.

The tool is a core piece of the CCP’s programs to monitor and persecute dissidents, including religious believers and people who oppose the ruling communist system. <Source>

(2)  In New South Wales…

‘One Stop Shop’ Vaccine Passport and Check In App for Australian State NSW

The Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) is developing a “one-stop-shop” app for residents to use as a type of vaccine passport when checking in to venues with QR codes.

The new app will be piloted in early October, making it easier to deny entry to unvaccinated people, and making it more “seamless” for fully vaccinated people to show proof and check-in

“Technically, a lot of venues won’t let you check-in, because you won’t be vaccinated,” NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklean told reporters on Tuesday. “So this product means that when you put your QR code on a cafe or restaurant, it will say you’re vaccinated, and you’ll be allowed into the venue.”

The premier said the whole point was “having a one-stop-shop on your phone” for both checking in when visiting a location or venue and showing proof of immunisation, which she said makes it easier for businesses and for the government’s contact tracers.

The NSW government’s app will play a major role in life for the state’s residents once implemented.

From Monday, fully vaccinated residents in NSW will be granted some additional freedoms, such as one extra hour of outdoor exercises.

Until the new app is ready, people will need to use the federal government’s Medicare app to show proof of being immunised against COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

“I just want to make this point very clear: if people want to enjoy the things that we’ve missed, such as a meal or any … venue, they’re going to have to be vaccinated,” the premier said. <Source>

(3)  The National Firearms Agreement (NFA)

The National Firearms Agreement (NFA) was an agreement concerning firearm control made by Australasian Police Ministers' Council (APMC) in 1996, in response to the Port Arthur massacre that killed 35 people. Four days after the killings, the Australian Prime Minister John Howard told the parliament “We need to achieve a total prohibition on the ownership, possession, sale and importation of all automatic and semi-automatic weapons. That will be the essence of the proposal that will be put by the Commonwealth government at the meeting on Friday...". The laws to give effect to the Agreement were passed by Australian State governments only 12 days after the Port Arthur massacre.

The NFA placed tight control on semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons, although permitted their use by a small number of licensed individuals who required them for a purpose other than 'personal protection'. The act included a gun buy-back provision. <Source>

(4)  Compulsory voting

Voting is Compulsory

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, under section 245(1), states: "It shall be the duty of every elector to vote at each election".

Under the Electoral Act, the actual duty of the elector is to attend a polling place, have their name marked off the certified list, receive a ballot paper and take it to an individual voting booth, mark it, fold the ballot paper and place it in the ballot box.

On a related matter, it is also an offence under the Electoral Act to remove a ballot paper from a polling place.

As voting is compulsory, electors are given a number of ways to cast their vote at an election, including postal voting, pre-poll voting, absent voting, voting at Australian overseas missions and voting at mobile teams at hospitals and nursing homes and in remote localities, as well as ordinary voting at a polling place in their electorate.

Because of the secrecy of the ballot, it is not possible to determine whether a person has completed their ballot paper prior to placing it in the ballot box. It is therefore not possible to determine whether all electors have met their legislated duty to vote. It is, however, possible to determine that an elector has attended a polling place or mobile polling team (or applied for a postal vote, pre-poll vote or absent vote) and been issued with a ballot paper. <Source>

A free vote is one not tainted by a “you must attend” edict, and it is only a matter of time until you are forced to use your new phone-based voting app to cast your ballot. Even though the communications between the application and the server may be heavily encrypted, at some point, your vote is decrypted and processed. Those government workers doing the counting, therefore, control the system.

(5)  Pressuring tech company censorship of news media posts…

Australia’s Top Court Finds Media Companies Liable for Other People’s Facebook Comments

Decision could hinder the promoting of important public-interest journalism, legal experts say

Australia’s highest court found that newspapers and television stations that post articles on Facebook Inc.’s platform are liable for other Facebook users’ comments on those posts, a ruling that could prompt traditional publishers to rethink how they engage with social media.

The High Court of Australia determined that media companies, by creating a public Facebook page and posting content on that page, facilitated and encouraged comments from other users on those posts. That means the media companies should be considered publishers of the comments and are therefore responsible for any defamatory content that appears in them, according to a summary of the judgment from the court.

Some legal experts expressed concerns about the ruling. Jason Bosland, an associate professor at the University of Melbourne’s law school, said it could hinder the ability of media companies to promote important public-interest journalism. Mr. Bosland said even moderating comments in real time wouldn’t be enough to completely shield newspapers from liability, because the ruling effectively means media companies are responsible for people’s comments the instant they are posted.

“I think it chills the capacity for the media to produce stories which provoke public discussion, and that’s exactly what you want the media to do,” he said. “You want them to be able to put up stuff online and you want them to be able to encourage people to engage in a civilized public debate.” <Source>

(6) New World Order?

AUSTRALIA'S HEALTH OFFICIAL LOOKS FORWARD TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER. YES, SHE ACTUALLY SAID 'NEW WORLD ORDER'

Australia's public health chief, Dr. Kerry Chant, in a press conference about Australia's lockdowns, referred to the new world order. 

"We will be looking at what contact tracing looks like in the New World Order … yes, it will be pubs and clubs and other things if we have a positive case there."

Point of information. Dr. Kant is the same specimen who told Aussies not to talk to people during the few opportunities they were allowed to go outside. <Source>

I wonder…

Is this a test to see if China can infiltrate and control foreign sovereign countries using government proxies, some of whom may have been compromised by Chinese intelligence operatives using the standard money, sex, power, or blackmail?

When asked about how Biden's new initiative would impact Americans’ lives, Presidential spokesperson Jen Psaki said that “it depends on if you’re vaccinated or not.”

The government has already stripped parental rights from responsible, caring parents, even for life-altering actions with potential adverse consequences.

The Delta variant may have washed through much of the population when the government plan is implemented.

The “mu (pronounced "me" in Greek) variant of COVID-19 has already spread to nearly four dozen countries and has made its presence known in Hawaii and Alaska. It has been found in 49 states, with Nebraska being the only state not to have a mu variant case detected. Health officials believe mu is even more transmissible than the delta variant and has the potential to resist vaccines.”

Being a somewhat, ok, majorly cynical person, I must wonder how much of the Covid response will drive the same type of voting rules that allowed major fraud to “infect” the 2020 election and may be used in the 2022 and 2024 elections?

Bottom line…

ASK YOURSELF ONE QUESTION: What better vehicle than COVID contact tracing exists that could legally surveil the activities of domestic American citizens using a public-private partnership between the government and tech tyrants? 

Since everything could theoretically be linked to “public health,” will we see restaurants forced to serve low-calorie meals to citizens with high body mass indexes? Possibly demanding an hour's worth of timed exercise before being authorized to eat a dessert?

It appears that at the present, our brothers and sisters in Australia may be slightly more screwed than us Americans. But under the progressive communist democrats, we may be on the fast track to hell or authoritarian socialism as the case may be.

CHINA DEPLOYS SECRET SUPER WEAPON: THE BIDEN BOMB

constitution-bomb

Never before, in the history of the United States, have we seen a mentally incapacitated President destroy our Constitution with the stroke of a pen and an unconstitutional Executive Order to mandate American Citizens, or their insurers, purchase and accept the use of an experimental medicine on a national scale.

All based on the possibly accidental release of a bio-weapon AND the deliberate spread of the disease by Communist China. There is little doubt in my mind that China saw the damage caused in Wuhan and consciously decided to level the playing field by allowing the disease to freely escape regional boundaries with its unrestricted travel policies. A war crime involving mass murder that should be redressed with criminal sanctions and penalties.

Of course, this was the second deployment of the constitution-killing weapon. The first test being that by former President Obama when he put forth his unconstitutional Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which mandated that Americans must purchase and provide proof of healthcare insurance. Of course, the Act did not provide patient protection, nor was it affordable. This unconscionable and unconstitutional Act passed a Supreme Court challenge with the sole arbiter being the feckless Supreme Court Justice, John Roberts.

Executive Order on Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 3301, 3302, and 7301 of title 5, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1.  Policy.  It is the policy of my Administration to halt the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), including the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant, by relying on the best available data and science-based public health measures.  The Delta variant, currently the predominant variant of the virus in the United States, is highly contagious and has led to a rapid rise in cases and hospitalizations.  The nationwide public health emergency, first declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services on January 31, 2020, remains in effect, as does the National Emergency Concerning the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) declared pursuant to the National Emergencies Act in Proclamation 9994 of March 13, 2020 (Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak).  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the Department of Health and Human Services has determined that the best way to slow the spread of COVID-19 and to prevent infection by the Delta variant or other variants is to be vaccinated.

COVID-19 vaccines are widely available in the United States.  They protect people from getting infected and severely ill, and they significantly reduce the likelihood of hospitalization and death.  As of the date of this order, one of the COVID-19 vaccines, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, also known as Comirnaty, has received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and two others, the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine and the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine, have been authorized by the FDA for emergency use.  The FDA has determined that all three vaccines meet its rigorous standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality.

[OCS: The approval of Comirnaty, which is not immediately available in the United States, came with fine print terms and conditions. The original Pfizer and other vaccines are still under conditional approval restrictions.]

The health and safety of the Federal workforce, and the health and safety of members of the public with whom they interact, are foundational to the efficiency of the civil service.  I have determined that ensuring the health and safety of the Federal workforce and the efficiency of the civil service requires immediate action to protect the Federal workforce and individuals interacting with the Federal workforce.  It is essential that Federal employees take all available steps to protect themselves and avoid spreading COVID-19 to their co-workers and members of the public.  The CDC has found that the best way to do so is to be vaccinated.

The Safer Federal Workforce Task Force (Task Force), established by Executive Order 13991 of January 20, 2021 (Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing), has issued important guidance to protect the Federal workforce and individuals interacting with the Federal workforce.  Agencies have also taken important actions, including in some cases requiring COVID-19 vaccination for members of their workforce. 

Accordingly, building on these actions, and in light of the public health guidance regarding the most effective and necessary defenses against COVID-19, I have determined that to promote the health and safety of the Federal workforce and the efficiency of the civil service, it is necessary to require COVID-19 vaccination for all Federal employees, subject to such exceptions as required by law.

Sec. 2.  Mandatory Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees.  Each agency shall implement, to the extent consistent with applicable law, a program to require COVID-19 vaccination for all of its Federal employees, with exceptions only as required by law.  The Task Force shall issue guidance within 7 days of the date of this order on agency implementation of this requirement for all agencies covered by this order. <Source>

Executive Order on Ensuring Adequate COVID Safety Protocols for Federal Contractors

Requiring All Employers with 100+ Employees to Ensure their Workers are Vaccinated or Tested Weekly

The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is developing a rule that will require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated or require any workers who remain unvaccinated to produce a negative test result on at least a weekly basis before coming to work. OSHA will issue an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) to implement this requirement. This requirement will impact over 80 million workers in private sector businesses with 100+ employees. <Source>

Another Biden lie…

Speaking from the East Room of the White House, President Joe noted…

"The vast majority of Americans are doing the right thing.”

"We're in a tough stretch, and it could last for a while."

"We are going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers."

“This is not about freedom or personal choice. It's about protecting those around you."

Bottom line…

Where is “the science?” You know “the science,” based on the scientific method, which depends on replicating research and accepting contrarian viewpoints to validate or falsify hypotheses? Let us remember “consensus” is a political process of “negotiated” inputs to find an “acceptable” output. From what we have witnessed, including testimony and other tangible evidence, key science advisors to the President have unashamedly lied to the public.

Yes, no matter what Joe Biden reads from his notecards, this is about your inalienable rights, freedom of choice, and the United States Constitution’s limitations on the power of the federal government.

Yes, this is about politics and using “emergency powers” to mandate changes in our electoral procedures that destroy election integrity and produce conditions supportive of election fraud.

Yes, this is about government overreach.

It is doubtful that our President even knows what he is signing or can function coherently for periods longer than ten minutes without lapsing into incoherence and meaningless word salads.

As I have said before, vaccine choice should be an individual choice – based on your physiological condition and in consultation with your personal physician. Personally, I am in an ultra-high risk cohort, and I am assuming the risk that the vaccine will mitigate, not eliminate, the symptoms of the Communist Chinese Virus and keep me alive and out of the ICU.

Unfortunately, you may never see this post as the fascistic media moguls and tech tyrants cancel or censor news and opinions that run counter to the government’s political narrative. Their incentive: they agree with the progressive communist democrat agenda and are further incentivized by government contracts, grants, allowances, tax abatements, favorable regulatory rulings, and protection from the public and competition.

BTW: Where are the hoards of feminazis screaming “my body, my choice” when it comes to masks and vaccines?

We are so screwed.

IT'S NOT RACIST WHEN THE TARGET IS LARRY ELDER, A BLACK GOP CONSERVATIVE

Worth repeating…

Why Isn’t the Attack on Larry Elder the Biggest Story in America?

A white woman in a gorilla mask threw an egg at a black man seeking to become the first non-white governor of our largest state, and the media shrug.

The woman who threw the egg at Elder would find her picture, her name, and everything she’d ever said on social media scrutinized at great length and on the home pages of the leading news sites. Her appearance would be mocked by late-night comedians. Dozens of reporters would be sent out to learn this woman’s story, to check out where she lived, where she worked, and where she went to school.

To its credit, the Los Angeles Times did mention the attack on Elder, although its headline elided the nastiness of what occurred in what smacked of victim-blaming: “Larry Elder cuts short Venice homeless encampment tour after hostile confrontation.” If Elder had been a Democrat, I suspect the headline would have been “Racist attacker in gorilla mask lobs egg at Larry Elder.” After burying the lede — the California paper mentioned the attack in the second graf, the race and costume of the person attacking him in the fourth — the report did say “ape characterizations have been used as a racist trope for centuries.” But that was it, the sole reference to racism in the story. The LA Times didn’t bother to investigate Elder’s attacker, nor even provide her name.

Please do not insult me by pretending that you do not understand the context and history of black folks being subjected to gorilla references. Please do not tell me that a person wearing a gorilla mask who targeted a Democrat would not be tagged as guilty of the most vicious variety of racism. Please do not tell me that progressives can’t be racist. <Source>

Truth be told…

The Democrats are the party of racism, slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, the KKK, and voting against civil rights legislation. To pretend otherwise is to be intellectually dishonest and a racist progressive communist democrat.

FORGET AFGHAN WOMEN, CONCENTRATE ON AMERICANS

Before we start decrying the racism, misogyny, and lack of diversity in the Taliban government, a perfect reflection of dominant non-white patriarchy…

UN: Afghan Women Refuse to Be 'Erased'

The United Nations Women’s agency expressed its “profound” disappointment Wednesday at the lack of female participants in Afghanistan’s new Taliban transitional government.

“It is unacceptable that the international community would accept that women are not part of the government,” U.N. Women’s deputy representative for Afghanistan, Alison Davidian, told reporters via a video call from Kabul. “Not just for Afghanistan, but for any country.”

In announcing a new acting government on Tuesday, the Taliban — known for their severe repression of women’s rights during their previous tenure in the 1990s and early 2000s — presented a slate of male-only ministers. The Ministry of Women's Affairs was also missing from the list.

Respect for women’s rights is a litmus test for any governing authority and against which any governing authority must be judged,” Davidian said. “But with the announcement yesterday, the Taliban missed a critical opportunity to show the world that it is truly committed to building an inclusive and prosperous society.” <Source>

Yada. Yada. Yada.

America must stand up for America and Americans…

America Must Stand Up for Fundamental Rights of Afghan Women

With the world watching in horror, the hasty withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan resulted in the Taliban’s near complete control over Afghanistan’s population of 40 million.

[OCS: The world may be watching in horror, but it has nothing to do with civil rights, race, diversity, or even Afghanistan. The horror is the speed at which America has collapsed under the progressive communist democrats and the Obama/Biden and the Biden/Obama Administrations.

We cannot protect ourselves, and they have come to realize we can no longer protect them as the world’s policeman with a degree of moral authority. They have learned that the United Nations is a corrupt, useless organization and that the Chinese Communists can unleash a global pandemic with near-perfect impunity.]

The Taliban is a brutal, repressive, Islamist regime that almost certainly will perpetuate severe human rights abuses against the Afghan population, making its return to power particularly catastrophic for women.

[OCS: Nothing new here as this has been known for decades. What we in the West may regard as brutal and repressive is normal and customary behavior dictated by the Islamic religion and Shariah law.]

This betrayal of the Afghan people—not to mention U.S. citizens and allies left behind—is especially harsh coming from the very leaders within the Biden administration who claim to be the ultimate champions of human rights.

[OCS: U.S. citizens remaining in Afghanistan is a separate issue, and those Afghans who assisted American efforts are escaping death, not their religion or its practice.]

Although President Joe Biden remarked in an Aug. 16 speech that “human rights must be the center of our foreign policy,” his promise rings hollow to the millions of Afghans who now are at the mercy of the Taliban to exercise their fundamental rights—to life, religious belief, conscience, and speech.

[OCS: Americans should not confuse, conflate, or impose their interpretation of human rights on an essentially ignorant medieval or pre-modern society. It was the idea that we could recreate these foreign individuals into democracy-loving citizens with a constitution that caused the catastrophe we are now witnessing.

We should have punished those who allowed terrorists to use their facilities to foment terror against the United States and then left them to their own lifestyle, warning them we would be back in force if necessary.

Who, in our government, the think tanks, and the NGO’s thought that the democratization of Afghanistan was possible and that it was morally defensible to force individuals to conform to our Western way of life after millennia of theocratic practice and rule?

A Taliban official recently told Reuters that the new government structure will not be a democracy, but “will protect everyone’s rights.” But even these tepid assurances of a kinder and gentler Taliban government are made with the caveat that the Taliban’s version of Shariah law will be the ultimate framework.  <Source>

[OCS: Why should we or why would we expect anything different?]

Bottom line…

It is time for the progressive communist democrats in Washington, even those who may be naively well-meaning, to leave Muslim nations alone – until they engage in terrorism and conquest. We should punish aggressors who threaten our way of life but assume no moral responsibility to reconstruct what we have destroyed nor engage in the Westernization of people who do not understand our culture and, in many cases, reject it as corrupt, immoral, and unjust.

Enough with faux diplomacy to assuage domestic public opinion and attempt to encourage the international community's applause. Demand that we retrieve our citizens and select others – backed by overwhelming force and no concern for collateral damage or the Communist Chinese, Pakistanis, Iranians, and Russians who moved into the region. Give them 72-hours to demonstrate compliance or evacuate our embassy and Bagram before they are destroyed.

Enough with the idea that you can change a society lacking civic institutions, deep educational resources, industrialization, and a self-sustaining economy into a modern nation with human rights that defy millennia of religious practices.

And enough, with the pussies in the State Department that care more about their jobs than our Constitution, our nation, and the soldiers in the field.

We are so screwed.

ADAM KINZINGER -- THE REPUBLICAN PARTY’S POISON PILL

I have always wondered about the weak, ineffective, incompetent, and self-defeating nature of the Republican Party. A party that appears to welcome dissention in the ranks, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory time and time again.

It all starts with weak, pusillanimous leadership showing a lack of courage when it comes to holding dissident members accountable for their actions that disparage the party or destroy party initiatives. Especially dissidents who are quick to jump the aisle and provide aid and comfort to the opposition acting against their constituent’s wishes.

So what good is House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) if he lacks the strength to hold his caucus members accountable for their actions? 

Kevin_McCarthy-frank_luntzHouse Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy with housemate pollster Frank Luntz.

Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) – the GOP’s poison pill…

Kinzinger

In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash and responding to a question, “Do you think that voters should trust House Republican leaders with the majority in the next election?” …

"All I can say right now is my party has to embrace truth. We have to have a full reckoning of what happened on January 6, and we have to turn away from conspiracy."

"I think if we're going to be in charge and pushing conspiracy and pushing division and pushing lies, then the Republican Party should not have the majority."

~ Adam Kinzinger, Member, House Select Committee to investigate the January 6 Capitol riot

A hand-selected snake embraced by the GOP…

Representatives Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Liz Cheney (R-WY) were hand-selected by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to give an appearance of bi-partisanship to a vicious attempt to smear and spy on the GOP in the run-up to the 2022 mid-term election where the Democrats are in grave danger of losing their slim majority. Cheney being elevated to the Vice Chairmanship of the charade of an investigation.

I am not alone in my desire to see both members sanctioned for actions that give credibility to this investigative farce and to remove both of them from the Republican Conference. Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, and other members of the conservative group have called on Kevin McCarthy to take action. Unlikely, McCarthy lacks the cojones to push back against progressive communist democrats and the tyranny displayed in the House of Representatives.

On the other hand, Kinzinger employed the techniques of the progressive communist democrats and responded to the request for removal with provocative rhetoric that included “talking about things like, you know, bloodshed or supportive of that or flirting around with white nationalism.”

Truth-be-told…

You will not see House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others hauled before the January 6th committee to account for her actions and to probe whether or not this event was a false flag operation or was deliberately allowed to occur after actionable intelligence of a disturbance was received by the FBI, Metropolitan Police, Capitol Police, and congressional leadership.

Nor will they release all of the video footage that appears to show covert operatives roaming the venue. Or account for the fact that Pelosi and her cadre of fellow travelers perpetrated demonstrable lies about the death of Officer Brian Sicknick and protected the shooter of Ashley Babbitt when similar use of force nationwide is eventually revealed to the public.

Truth be told, many participants were welcomed into the Capitol complex, stayed behind rope lines, and appeared more interested in selfies and souvenirs than disrupting government. It was not an “armed insurrection” as there were no arms and a ragtag group of trespassers was unlikely to take over the government.

Bottom line…

Kabuki Theatre, my friends. Designed to delay, detract, and misdirect you from the real issues of the day and the ongoing tyranny of the progressive communist democrats, and the destruction of our nation from within.

Kinzinger, Cheney, and others need to march in lockstep to protect our nation’s Constitution, safety, and security. If they cannot adhere to the constituents' wishes who elected them as Republicans, they need to be ostracized and banished.

WHERE ARE OUR HOSTAGE CHILDREN TONIGHT?

WHAT SCARES LIBERALS MOST ABOUT LARRY ELDER?

It’s simple. Elder is black, born in the roughest neighborhood of South Central Los Angeles, went to some of the worst high schools, worked hard, got an education, and became a self-made man as a lawyer and radio personality. So, the scariest thing about Elder is that he can call out liberal bullshit from experience in a way that is understandable to everyone.

He is ready to go beyond continually raising taxes and talking about homelessness, crime, and the failure of California education and take ACTION! He is not beholden to the unions or the establishment’s special interests. He has proven he is unafraid of other politicians and has called out political corruption for years.

Now it is time to allow him to ACT! If you do not like him or what he does, replace him in the 2022 mid-term election when he stands for office again!

elder-1

I voted for Elder and a new California revival; I hope you do too!

BALLOT

Make up your mind. Are you a Californian or a Communist?

GENERAL MARK MILLEY IS THE NEW SUSAN RICE: SPINNING THE MEDIA

How many people remember when then-United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, acting as President Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s chief  Benghazi cover-up agent following the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, went on all five Sunday news shows (CBS’ Face the Nation, CNN’s State of the Union, NBC’s Meet the Press, Fox News Sunday and ABC’s This Week.) to parrot misleading talking points?

susan-rice-benghazi

"Based on the best information we have to date, what our assessment is as of the present is in fact what began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo where, of course, as you know, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy sparked by this hateful video. But soon after that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in Benghazi, we believe that it looks like extremist elements, individuals, joined in that effort with heavy weapons of the sort that are, unfortunately, readily now available in Libya post-revolution. And that it spun from there into something much, much more violent." ~ Susan Rice


The CIA's talking points read as follows:

  • "The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the US Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the US diplomatic post in Benghazi and subsequently its annex. There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations.
  • This assessment may change as additional information is collected and analyzed and as currently, available information continues to be evaluated.
  • The investigation is on-going, and the US Government is working with Libyan authorities to bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of US citizens."

And here comes Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, who told Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin, “what you saw unfold with this noncombatant evacuation operation was one of the contingency plans.”

m2

Griffin: “Now, 77 percent of Americans say that they are in favor of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the end of the war. But 74 percent say that they are not happy with how the withdrawal went. Could the withdrawal been done better? Was it military planning that caused the people to not feel that the withdrawal was as it should have been?”

Milley:  “I think a couple of things. One, is the collapse of the Afghan Army happened at a much faster rate and very unexpected, by pretty much everybody, and then with that is the collapse of the Afghan government. So, that was definitely a surprise.

[OCS: This is a lie. Numerous parties in the military, the Afghan government, the State Department, and the CIA knew for a fact that the Afghan Army had no loyalty to an artificial construct of a unified nation known as Afghanistan and that most members of the volunteer force were ill-motivated and likely to desert back to their tribal regions when the United States pre-announced its total withdrawal and ceased providing the backbone, logistical support, and intelligence needed to successfully engage the enemy.]

But I will say that there was an awful lot of planning done, ROC drills, rehearsals, etc. And what you saw unfold with this noncombatant evacuation operation was one of the contingency plans.

[OCS: No amount of planning could have overcome the troop restrictions and micromanagement coming from the White House and the State Department. If General Milley and his senior command staff did not believe they had the human resources and operational superiority to accomplish the mission fully, they should have resigned. In what plan do you give up a secure, defensible transfer point to operate in a permissive environment in which your enemy has control over all ingress and egress options?]

And the speed at which it was executed, the flow of the aircraft, we had planes taking off every 30 to 45 minutes or so. We had — we brought in 7,000 — or 6,000 U.S. troops, and then there [were] about a thousand or more or so Afghan troops that secured HKIA. The first day, it was clearly chaotic, no question about it. You saw that on video, etc. But within about 24 hours, that settled down and it became a much more orderly process. The security of HKIA was challenging to say the least, and we saw the bombing. But that would have happened no matter where it was. People talk about Bagram, wherever there’s a perimeter, if there’s no outside force, if there’s no Afghan force securing it, and there wasn’t any, then there’s going to be U.S. forces on the perimeter, on the edge. And they were doing what they were asked to do, which is go out and screen and process people.”

[OCS: Bagram Air Force Base was abandoned early on with Milley testifying before Congress that "Bagram is not necessary, tactically or operationally for what we are going to try to do here with Afghanistan.”

It also appears that the Taliban offered Milley operational control over the entirety of Kabul and Milley delegated control and security to the Taliban to focus on the Kabul (HKIA) Airport.

Nobody held Milley to account for the numerical quotas provided to the military screeners nor the denial of sufficient protective forces and ammunition to protect the mission.]

“So, were there … there’s a lot of lessons learned. And I think we’re going to go through that in a very systematic way. I know we are on the Joint Staff. I know Central Command will. And I’m sure the other departmental agencies will. From a military standing point though … military planning standpoint … those plans were done in detail. There was an extensive amount of planning in this.”

[OCS: The planning did not appear to take into account a broken chain of command, cowardly and politicized senior officers like Mark Milley, and of course, the unthinkable action of leaving American citizens behind enemy lines to check the boxes on an artificial deadline. This truly was Barack Obama leading from behind.]

Bottom line…

There is no doubt in my mind that General Mark Milley should be court-martialed for dereliction of duty and UCMJ Article 133 for conduct unbecoming … specifically acts of dishonesty, unfair dealing, indecency, indecorum, lawlessness, injustice, and the cruelty of abandoning American citizens in extremis behind enemy lines where they face captivity, torture, and death,

The final charge in Milley's specifications should be the military's focus on domestic issues involving racial politics and de-radicalization while actual combat operations were failing.

We are so screwed.
