OPENING THE FLOODGATES

[FPX] has allowed the honeymoon that he has received from the media (and which was so shabbily denied to his predecessor) to be interrupted by what is almost certain to be one of the most absurd fiascos in modern American history.

I speak against the impeachment of the former president for an incitement that he did not make, of an insurrection that he did not wish, an impeachment that was not attempted in order to remove him from an office that he does not hold.

It will be a farce of unconstitutional posturing and recrimination, and will fully air the former president’s significant arguments that the result of the late election is suspect.

And [FPX] will not be able to retrieve his honeymoon after this foolishness has been disposed of. Here’s why.

LOOKING FORWARD

Clarity In Trump's Wake

It’s a rant, but it’s an all too true rant:

How about over 3 times as many?

As [FPX] issued 52 executive orders and actions in his first 16 days in office, Republican attorneys general in the states appear poised to be the strongest check on overreach by the federal government.

“Everything is fair game. We are going to defend the Constitution of the United States and look out for the best interest of our states,” Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, chairman of the Republican Attorneys General Association, told me in an interview.

The number of legal actions planned against the FPX dictatorship and the number of states joining in is growing rapidly.  Here’s a summary.

Time magazine’s “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign that Saved the 2020 Election” by Molly Ball is supposed to come off as an epic tale of left-wing institutions swooping in to save democracy from untold chaos in the aftermath of the election.

Instead, it’s a confessional where the storyteller and her informants unwittingly reveal that the election was indeed rigged.  She describes in detail what it took: a coordinated effort among a staggering number of left-wing organizations, the media and tech, titans of industry, an army of activists, #NeverTrumpers, and a whole lotta Benjamins, baby.

Chapter Four: Efficacy

Political technology includes how you choose the messaging for a campaign (perhaps using the Leesburg Grid), how you use social media, how you list a candidate on the ballot, and so on. There are thousands of techniques. Having more activists and leaders who are savvy in political technology, compared to your adversaries, is how you win.

Second, activists and leaders should be high in self-efficacy, a powerful concept developed by Albert Bandura, who is often mentioned as one of the all-time greatest psychologists, in his 1997 book, Self-Efficacy.

George Orwell published Animal Farm in August 1945 to remind us that leftist totalitarianism inevitably becomes far worse than the supposed parasitical capitalists they once toppled.

Orwell saw that the desire for power stamps out all ideological pretenses. It creates an untouchable ruling clique central to all totalitarian movements. Beware, he warns, of the powerful who claim to help the helpless.

Something so far (just wait) less violent, but no less bizarre and disturbing, now characterizes the American New New Left.  Orwell, had he lived (he died in 1950), would have predicted that the Left’s 1960s dream would become America’s 2021 nightmare.

Two weeks into the [FPX] administration and already the prospects of restoring the American spirit, the economy, and the old Constitution look bleak.

In a flurry of executive orders, the new faux-president—superannuated figurehead though he is—has sought immediately to overturn the legacy of the Trump administration on such matters as border security, immigration, and energy self-sufficiency.

And that’s just for starters.

“Make America Great Again” has become “Make America Grovel Again.” Which is, of course, exactly the way the punitive, “progressive” left wants it as it goes about refashioning the country along the lines of its own fascist antecedents.

It seems that the end of the American Experiment now looms—to be replaced by what, remains to be seen, although history offers us a frightening clue.

“Think of the Trump era as a prison riot. In any maximum security prison, the prisoners know they can’t escape, but they can definitely raise a little hell now and then, which they tend to do when they get really tired of being abused and neglected by the prison guards.” The Nov 3 Great Election Theft and subsequent FPX Dictatorship is to remind us who is actually running things.

That's All Folks!

But in the real world there is always another show:

Only You Can Beat Big Tech Censorship

As the apex predators of capitalism, hedge funds are accustomed to raking in billions by driving companies into the ground and feasting on the carcasses.

So there was widespread satisfaction last week when members of an online discussion group called WallStreetBets started beating the Wall Street bully boys at their own game. “The only way to beat a rigged game,” one WallStreetBets leader said, “is to rig it even harder.”

All this outsider army needed to win was the continued ability to communicate with each other online, and their collective ability to keep piling into the “Buy” side of the trade. Within hours, they would be hobbled on the first front and crippled on the second.  Welcome to the Insider’s Game – but reality is, the insiders are terrified by the outsiders.

One common theme in the abject madness and tragedies of the past 12 months is that “progressive” ideology now permeates almost all of our major institutions—even as the majority of Americans resist the leftist agenda.

Its domination resembles the manner in which the pre-Renaissance church had absorbed the economic, cultural, social, artistic, and political life of Europe, or perhaps how Islamic doctrine was the foundation for all public and private life under the Ottoman Sultanate—or even how all Russian institutions of the 1930s exuded tenets of Soviet Marxism.

To be a Silicon Valley executive, a prominent Wall Street player, the head of a prestigious publishing house, a university president, a network or PBS anchor, a major Hollywood actress, a retired general or admiral on a corporate board, or a NBA superstar requires either progressive fides or careful suppression of all political affinities.  Why?

“Mindlessness and moral idiocy are not characteristically human attributes; they are symptoms of herd-poisoning” - Aldous Huxley

No. Never.  But the Left is so frightened of Donald Trump that they mean to literally erase evidence of his existence.  Here are seven examples.

Chapter Three: Meetings

An activist group is not likely to be successful unless a sufficient number of members are able to work together to plan, discuss problems, and make decisions about solutions. These activities are difficult and it’s easy to go wrong.

SNCC had a way of conducting meetings that they valued very highly, championed for the local activists, and guarded zealously against change. It came to be called “participatory democracy,” although they did not use the term themselves.

Here are the main principles of SNCC’s participatory democracy.

[FPX] was inaugurated a week ago, and like the dictator his handlers have long yearned to install, his has started out as a cruel administration.  His 22 executive orders so far, more than any other president in history, have already sent tens of thousands of jobs down the drain with coldhearted carelessness.

As all those who opposed his candidacy suspected, he is doing China's bidding.  Of course he is; the Chinese own him.  Every single person he has appointed to his Cabinet is aligned with China as well.

It took the Obama administration a year to do this much damage.  This crowd, believing they have absolute power in every sense of the phrase, have set about implementing the transformation of the U.S. from a democratic republic to a communist -fascist oligarchy.  In a flash, there is no more freedom of speech or assembly.

That's the spirit!

The far left is going big - very big - and this is producing pushback , even from the usually useful idiots.  Here is an amazing and refreshingly honest criticism of FPX, Fauci, and Bezos by Meghan McCain - when they have gone too far for her to take it any longer, they have really blown it:

Meghan McCain: [FPX], Fauci, Bezos COVID Hypocrisy Is Total Breakdown of Trust

Welcome to Skye’s Links to the New World Disorder!

Just the other day he stood up to the tedious hyper-partisanship of ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

And yesterday (1/26) in the Senate – as you can see above – he weighed in, to great effect, on the impeachment farce, although I suspect it wasn’t just his impassioned and eloquent speech, a point of order actually, that swung 45 Republican senators to his side.  There was something else too.

Here’s the official company line promoted by establishment Republicans to defend the outcome of the 2020 presidential election:

Of course the election had some irregularities like all elections but nothing that would change the result and, by the way, the country needs some major election integrity reform before this happens again.

This is the conundrum created by election fraud deniers in the GOP.  One cannot simultaneously defend the integrity of the 2020 election and call for new laws to ensure election integrity.

By refusing over the past few months to acknowledge, let alone address, provable instances of voter fraud, Republicans now find themselves between a rock and a hard place.

I recently received an e-mail from a reader of my latest book, Live Not By Lies, who said that the book was saying exactly what needed to be said right now, in this extraordinary moment for traditional Christians and political conservatives.

I would have normally thanked him, and let that be that, but this was no ordinary reader. This was from an experienced military intelligence officer, now retired.

He knows what he’s talking about. He’s also a practicing Orthodox Christian, husband, and father to 5 children, and describes himself as “an ardent supporter of data privacy and preserving our Constitutional freedoms.”  Here is his warning to all of us.

Chapter Two: Recruitment

One person can start the work of creating a local activist organization.

A person who does this work by our method will be called, with respect for tradition, a field secretary -- because that is the title used by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).

Recruiting in a Nutshell.

Field secretaries can perhaps be best described as expert specialists in startups. Their main job as the instigators of an uprising is to go into a community (or campus), find the right people, and get them talking together in a meeting.

How pathetic can you get? Faux-inauguration 2021

[Notice: TTP does not recognize the legitimacy of the Chicom puppet illegally occupying the White House.  Henceforth, every TTP article will refer to this individual as FPX – Fake President Xiden.]

As I grabbed some coffee before heading to the Capitol Building to watch the faux-inauguration of the faux-president, the lovely lady behind the counter told me she had never seen anything like this in D.C. in her life.

And all I can say as I stand here now in the freezing cold with a handful of others is that I hope America never has to see anything like this again. Nothing is as it seems. It is just horrible, in every sense.

There is no one here. What I mean is that there is literally no one here. Even pressed up to the gates within sight of the Capitol Building there is barely a handful of FPX supporters. And he supposedly got 81 million votes?  If you believe that, do I have a great London Bridge deal for you.

Thank you, Mr. President, for everything you’ve done.

It shouldn’t be ending this way, but I and 74 (really 80 to 100) million other Americans just want to thank you for all your efforts on our behalf over the past four years, actually since you came down the escalator at Trump Tower back in the summer of 2015.

In no particular order:

Thank you for restoring the U.S. as the world’s leading producer of energy – after your predecessor sternly lectured us that we “couldn’t drill our way” out of our dependence on unstable Middle Eastern oil providers.

Thank you for the tax cuts for the middle class.

Thank you for destroying genocidal ISIS, which your predecessor called “the junior varsity.”

[Note by JW:  As freedom is being extinguished in a post-Trump America, the principal hope of regaining it is mass peaceful civil disobedience.  TTPer Dale Woolridge has written a manual on how to achieve this.  It will be presented in a series of installments on Mondays.  We expect a lively discussion of his method, strategy and tactics on the Forum, and encourage you to participate]

"America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of the government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long." Ron Paul

Chapter One - Introduction

This manual describes a method for organizing mass uprisings. The method was used with great effect during the American civil rights movement of the early 1960s by a little-known group called the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced “Snick”).  Note its logo above of racial cooperation, rather than the antagonism of today:

The bipartisan powers that be desperately needed a means to suppress any further discussion of 2020 election fraud.  Now they have exactly what they need; any further discussion of election fraud will be surpassed as inciting violence.

Any words uttered by Trump will be censored as inciting violence.  Any expressions of support for Trump or any of his policies will be deemed to be inciting violence.  There will be no appeal.  But don’t lose hope!

The Most Important Numbers Of 2020 & The Golden Future Of 2021

[Note by JW: Skye has known Dr. Hunt for many years.  He is a true medical expert who gets it right and explains it clearly.]

In the setting of COVID-19, almost every country in the world closed its borders, locked down its citizens, and forced businesses to close. Today, most governments still restrict travel, economic activity, and social gatherings.

The justification for these unprecedented measures has been a growing number of COVID-19 cases. This has unleashed an epidemic of COVID testing—with PCR and rapid antigen tests as the means of identifying positive COVID cases. The following examines the science behind COVID testing, whether the testing paradigms are effective, and the rationality behind government response to the virus.

THIS CAN’T BE SAID OFTEN ENOUGH

Social Media is now in control of what you can say, who you can say it to. So, Main Stream media is in control of what you’ll hear, and Facebook/Twitter is in control of what you can say. When are you next? When is the day you post an opinion on social media and poof, you’re gone?

On Friday evening (1/08) The Purge picked up steam.  Twitter banned thousands of conservative accounts. Gone, deleted. Big names like General Flynn, gone. Rush Limbaugh, Gone.  But wait it gets worse.

Welcome to Communist America. Yes, the New America, brought to you by the lunatics of the World Economic Forum, happy Chinese Communists, Fascist Democrats, and fellow traveling RINOs.

I wish that was my only gripe today. But that’s just one more of over a zillion things that I’m witnessing taking place, as America is overthrown.

Why is no one here? January 20, 2021

The increasingly fascistic American Left is setting a trap for the rest of their fellow citizens—often termed “deplorables,” but more appropriately dubbed “normals” —by warning that we intend violence all over the country during ’s Joe Xiden’s inauguration.

This is nonsense, of course, but any kind of demonstration can be declared violent by a complaisant media or, more ominously, manipulated in that direction by provocateurs, with the slightest incident magnified beyond recognition.

Do not fall for it. There is a much better way to protest the inauguration.

The best show on television right now features a major city, the capital of an unsteady government, that is gradually being pulled apart by two competing political parties.

The center can’t hold; it’s being steadily overwhelmed by a pair of rival Socialist groups who don’t hesitate to take their conflicts into the streets as they sweep away their country’s past and head into a glorious future.

Meanwhile, outside the elegant halls of authority, armed gangs roam the streets, setting upon each other with abandon in the ultimate game of thrones.

The year 2020 witnessed a long series of writs lodged against an America beset with plague, quarantine, recessions, riot and arson, and the most contested election since 1876.

What was strange was not so much the anarchist Left’s efforts in the present to wipe away the past to recalibrate our Animal Farm future.

What was stranger were both the absurdities of the complaints against American civilization, and the unwillingness or inability of Americans to rebut them and defend their own culture. Call it the Pussification of America.

More than 74 million Americans who voted for President Donald Trump have justifiably lost confidence in the electoral system because election laws in decisive battleground states were ignored or altered outside of the legislative process.

Tennesseans elected us to fight for their views and values in Washington, which certainly means upholding the rule of law, and we plan to exercise our constitutionally prescribed role of reviewing the electoral college results to ensure that those voices we represent are heard.

Understandably, Americans are questioning the results of an election in which the laws designed to ensure fair and secure voting were rewritten at the last minute by unaccountable bureaucrats who had no authority to do so.

Here is an outstanding year-in-review of 2020.  Lots here for both investors and historians alike.  It was written by a tenured 60-something conservative/libertarian chemistry professor, so the BS content is remarkably low.  This is fascinating stuff from someone who works within the belly of the beast:

Delingpole: Economist 'Great Reset Will Cause a Crash Worse than 1930s'

Goodbye 2020 – hello 2021!

Thanks in large part to Democrat lockdowns, this year has left vast wreckage in its wake, with ten million jobs lost, more than 100,000 businesses and dozens of national chains bankrupted or closed.

Up to 40 million people could face eviction in the coming months for failing to pay rent, and Americans report that their mental health is at record low levels. But the casualty list for 2020 must also include many of the political myths that shape Americans’ lives.

Perhaps the biggest myth to die this year was that Americans’ constitutional rights are safeguarded by the Bill of Rights. There are many more.

Millions of patriots have fight in them as the country confronts the greatest threat to the Republic since the Civil War.  Historic elections fraud, centered on the presidential contests, involving gross criminality make it so.

Whereas many patriots are ready to fight to restore the rule of law and our liberties, others express gloom and defeat.  The fix is in, they claim.  If Trump doesn’t secure a second term, then all is lost, they bemoan.  The powerful cabal that Biden fronts will run the board over 48 months.  A long, dark night will descend on America.

Here’s a modest proposal: Wars aren’t over until they’re fought.

BLM/Antifa Washington DC Nov 3, 2020

As 2021 dawns, the war on our culture moves into high gear.

The opportunistic intersection of the resistance to the Trump presidency, the rise of the monopolistic tech giants, the spurious panic over the psychologically weaponized Communist Chinese Virus and its concomitant loss of personal freedom, the neo-Marxist hijacking and worsening of race relations, and the legalistic undermining of U.S. laws and institutions have all evolved into a perfect storm of destruction that not only threatens the future of the United States, but actively seeks its destruction.

And they’re just getting started.

In his December 23 video, Dr. Steve Turley summed up two possible roads to victory for President Trump in Congress on Jan. 6, starting with a congressional challenge to disputed Biden electors:

“First, you have to have an objection filed and endorsed by at least one US senator and one US representative.  And once filed and endorsed, both chambers of Congress...have to have a debate – I believe it's stated to be a two-hour debate – over the merits and demerits of the objection, and then a simple majority is enough to overturn the electors. 

Or second, you've got Vice President Mike Pence poised to make the final decision as to whether to certify the electors after the debate.”

Majority Leader Turtle – Chief Coward of the Senate

While there are a few exceptions who need to be celebrated — Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, Matt Gaetz, and Jim Jordan, to name the most prominent of the heroes — the rest of the Republicans in Congress are abject cowards.

So anxious to go along to get along with the establishment they were oh, so comfortable with, they have been and are willing to betray their constituents to regain their access to power and money.  Forget representing the people; they represent themselves.

President Trump is the best man for the party to come along since Reagan, and they are nearly all ready to throw him under the bus.  It is disgusting.  No conservative should ever again donate a dime to any of the traitors who claim to hold conservative values.
