We are learning - bit by bit - that we have been lied to in material ways.  In substantial, life-altering ways.  We have made decisions based on government and media lies.  Is anyone angry yet?  Is anyone out there ready to finally say no to this tyranny?  What more can we lose before we take a stand?  It began gradually.  First it was masks ("two weeks to flatten the curve") but when we acquiesced to this it only emboldened usurpers to go further.  The more ground we give the more they will take and the more will be demanded.  It must be stopped now.

Maybe they want to see who’ll blink first. But I’ve heard of Twitter suspending people’s accounts (e.g., Nicki Minaj) and banning users (e.g., President Trump), along with the games they routinely play, such as shadow-banning tweets. I’ve never heard, however, of someone being in Twitter limbo for more than six months while the Twitter twits “review” his appeal.

But that’s me.

Are consumers being scammed by woke capitalism? In this article, Dr. Richard Kocur reviews a new book by a former biotech CEO who argues that consumers are being given “the illusion that by engaging in normal acts of consumption we’re fulfilling our social obligations.” The book uses examples from major corporations: Coca-Cola, Google, Facebook, and many more.

We can anticipate that the federal government will soon be using private sector businesses to be their unpaid agents in forcing the “vaccines” on our people.  Businesses will be coerced by the threat of back-breaking, business-breaking fines.   (Would you consider $700,000 to be a major financial setback in your own business?)  We need to let this rogue federal government know that it cannot subvert our Constitution in this way.  We need to defend the Constitution at home, in the states, in the businesses.  North Dakota needs to support its businesses in this.  The federal government has absolutely no right to impose these injections on the free people of America.  We outlawed slavery in America in 1865.  We cannot force anything to be injected into anyone against his will.  To do so is to call that person a slave without sovereignty over his own body. 

We will be told by the vaccine pushers that we need to get with the program or it will cost us money.  We all like money.  But for what price will you sell your health?  Your future?  Your children’s health and future?  What price?  For what price will you sell your freedom?  For what price will you sell your birthright? 

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.   But it cannot survive treason from within.  An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.  But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."  --Cicero  

Among the brightest stars in the constellation of Western culture, Scottish poet Robert Burns, was never known to shrink from frank exposure of the hyporcisy and often the cruelty of "authority".  We might have said that he came from a "different era", a darker time when men generally trembled before kings and the local sheriff.  But perhaps not.  There is a reason why Burns is celebrated, generation after generation.  Some who salute him do it perfuctorily, as a social exercise.  Others, however, read him more deeply and find the basic, profound message he endeavored to convey.  Burns was disgusted by pretense, he mocked empty vessels in such works as "Holy Willie's Prayer" and many others.  When we read the words of Burns, plumb the depth of his observations of his fellow man, we are brought up short and taken aback by the fact that he died at the age of 37.  We liberally sprinkle our prose with his poetry without even being aware we are quoting him.  His thoughts expressed in "Man Was Made to Mourn" seem evergreen and particularly pertinent to the world of Covid - where our governments first permitted and even funded with our own money, the scourge of this virus, first made us sick with it, used it to force us into unemployment and want, caused us to become unwillingly dependent, wickedly withheld safe and proven and effective medications to relieve our suffering and prevent our death, viciously forced a poisonous injection upon us as a condition of our right to earn a living or continue our lives - even children's education - or exercise our right to enjoy community in studying a poet - and when they killed or maimed us with it told an execrable lie to cover their evil acts.   And the badge of humiliation and compliance with this program of evil is the face mask.   Perhaps this, from Burns, sums up the past two years quite succinctly:  "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn."  

I could not say it better.

“The Black Book of Communism” was published in France in 1997 on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution. Few scholarly books raise the ire and provoke controversy more than “The Black Book” did.

Why the controversy? Stephane Courtois, the book’s principal editor, asserts that, from a moral standpoint, Communism (kissing cousin of socialism), as a system of government, was no better than Nazism. Both were far better at killing people than they were at governing.

In addition to contributions by Editor Courtois, a scholar in his own right, five other French research scholars contributed to the volume. Significantly, all six scholars are former Communists. Each contributed to the chapters from their area of expertise covering every country having a significant Communist presence.

To miss this book is to miss one of the first and formidable attempts to document the criminal nature of Communism, the twentieth century’s most destructive ideology.

Terrorism works because it creates complications, frustrations, confusions, and dilemmas for the defender. Counter terrorism requires resources. By enhancing security, freedoms may be restricted or curtailed. This disrupts normal activities and free movement of the population. The public bears the inconvenience while the target government bears the blame.

Twentieth century experience points the way to successfully countering terrorism. Unfortunately, with the unexpected ditching of Afghanistan the lessons listed below were either forgotten or never learned. For this the US will pay dearly.

Last week, the nation honored and remembered the victims of 9/11. In this article that first appeared at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Dr. Paul Kengor recalls the grisly exchange between a failed terrorist and a U.S. attorney. Kengor highlights the contrast in how Islamist terrorists view human life versus how Americans view human life. He writes, “The contrast between how one side views human life versus the other could not have been clearer.”

“I had a heart attack….”

A bit more than a month ago I wrote about “My troubling COVID vaccine story experiences.” Aside from citing a friend who developed heart inflammation after taking a coronavirus genetic-therapy agent (GTA, a.k.a. a “vaccine”; more on this later), I mentioned that I’d had some unusual experiences: I encountered two men within a relatively short period of time, at the same recreational facility, who told me they’d had heart attacks — after taking SARS-CoV-2 GTAs.

Offers of vaccines are not working anymore.  Bribes of ice cream, lottery tickets, college tuition, weed and liquor aren't working anymore.  Threats and coercion are not working.  What's a bureaucrat bent on destroying your freedom to do??  The next step is apparently deception.  If people can't be persuaded or coerced, theymust simply be deceived.  So that seems to be the next tactic.  There is a frenzy to get everyone vaccinated.  It is not about the virus.  We know this because the vaccine admittedly does not have any effect on the spread of the virus, nor on one's susceptibility to become sick with it.  We also know it is creating sickness and death wherever it is administered.  As more of us are learning this, there is now the need to trick those who don't want it and don't intend to take it, into having it injected into us or fed to us.  Mental health seems to be at the center of the whole covid storm - unreasoning and blind fear of the virus, and a derangement among people in authority to force everyone to be vaccinated, whether they have natural immunity, whether they are unwilling to take the risks inherent in this injection or not.  If they can't force it one way they will attempt to find another.  We are at war.

Even as the evidence piles up about the huge risks to your health and the absolute absence of value in the so-called Covid "vaccines", the governments - federal, state, and in some areas, local, the military and very likely your employer, are all DEMANDING that you permit someone to inject a foreign substance into your bloodstream which is being seen to cause horrific "adverse events" and deaths.  It is now being pushed on children.  You have no obligation to forfeit your sovereignty over your body, allow someone else to make your heath decisions or in any way discriminate against you because you have chosen to guard yourself against what is arguably not only more dangerous than the virus, but more dangerous than all other vaccines combined, and more dangerous than many street drugs.  Just say a hard NO to this phony "vaccine" and the government robots who are attempting to take over on your life and dictate your future.

A forthcoming book by Bob Woodward has some politicians and journalists calling the actions of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley treason. In this article, Dr. Earl Tilford examines the situation and allegations. Tilford lays out a personal example of what happened the night President Richard Nixon resigned. He writes, “There were concerns that President Nixon, the only person authorized to launch a nuclear strike, might become “unhinged” due to his pending resignation. Unhinged enough to do the unthinkable.”

We are being threatened if we don't play a dangerous game.  Our health is at stake here and our very lives.  The dice are loaded.  You don't stand a chance if you decide to play.

For the record, I’ve not only opposed our Mideast military adventures but also, in 2007, wrote an article warning about the folly of “nation-building.” Yet I also know that if you are going to overthrow a tyrannical regime and remake the government, a prerequisite is winning the hearts and minds of the people. You must also note that you “never change things by fighting the existing reality,” as famed architect Buckminster Fuller observed. “To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

Now, when the Nazis invaded the USSR during WWII, they initially encountered some people who hoped they’d free them from Stalin’s brutal rule. Adolf Hitler was very blunt about his disinterest in winning hearts and minds, however, reportedly saying that he came not as a liberator, but a conqueror.

It is difficult to imagine a more tumultuous period in our nation's history.  We have been dealing with censorship, an election which is credibly alleged to be stolen with the help of foreign entities/nations hostile to the United States.  We have been the victims of a mass hoax - a virus which was puffed up into a pandemic, which in turn was used as a tool to strip Americans of their historic and cheriished God-given rights, heretofore protected by our Constitution, we have seen a dangerous experimental drug poisonous to humans being forced upon us, beginning with 100% of our military.  Speaking our military, even as China has begun aggressively prowling about the South China Sea, as a senile president determined a deeply flawed course to withdraw from our 20-year occupation in Afghanistan, leaving behind valuable intelligence, valuable military equipment and also invaluable lives of our own citizens, our allies' citizens and our dogs, with a vicious, hostile, uncivilized gang - the Taliban, our chief military officer - General Mark Milley - announced the biggest challenge America faced was implementing critical race theory.  All the while, Milley was secretly colluding with our nation's enemies because he didn't like Trump - his superior.  Our military has always and must always be under the orders of a civilian government elected by the people.  Our military is there to serve our civilian, elected government, not the other way around.  The question is, if the reports are proven against Milley, did he indeed commit treason?  The answer has to be yes.  He did.  It doesn't matter whether there were a "declared war".  He announced (in secret) to the Chinese government that he would subvert our elected government and his president's possible orders that he would tip them off in advance of any military action.  He also enlisted his immediate council of officers in pledging to support him and ignore orders of the president.  He commited a military coup in this act.  

What should we do with Milley?  What do you think?

Hmmmm… The military is subordinate to civilian authority and will comply as directed. Biden’s Board of Visitors replacements have not yet been designated, but when they are they will reflect his values – of which critical race theory is one. The Woke mob will control military education.

Americans got what they voted for – assuming the vote was fair.

Elites have long seen conservative Christians as intolerant and obsessed with politics. It’s a simple view that few have been able successfully to complicate into a more realistic picture. George Yancey and Ashlee Quosigk may have done so in their new book One Faith No Longer: The Transformation of Christianity in Red and Blue America. From sociological research data, they argue that progressive and conservative Christians are headed for a permanent split.

They're coming for YOU now.  They might have already gotten everyone ahead of you, so it's now urgent.  We're not helpless - but we might as well be if we are not aware of our assets and strengths and act like victims instead.  Salty Cracker is trying to tell us that we have the power to stop this runaway train.   If we don't use our strengths and tools we might as well not have them, though, so it is absolutely essential that we use the power already in our hands.  We need to not wander into the alligator's path however.  That could be tricky.  There are traps being set which could really destroy our freedom but they really need our help to take away our freedom.    It's a time for assessing our "special set of skills" and our tools and weapons and how best to use them.  We are the majority, we have power.  We just need to act intelligently and courageously.  And we need to work a lot harder! 

Last night Biden crossed a line.  If we let him get away with it, the rest will be history . . . and OUR fault.  We must take action now to stop this daily destruction of our free republic.  We have seen this before - in the 1930s in Germany, for one example.  This man needs to be stopped.  It is time to serve him with impeachment, indictment and imprisonment.  If he is too addled to stand trial, we must store him away in an institution until he is.  His wife has no excuse.  She must be held accountable in his stead.

We just observed Labor Day, the last holiday of summer.  I was thinking back to Independence day over a month ago.  For once, my heart just wasn’t in it this year.  It felt like a sham.  I think the reason is that we are losing our country and our heritage of freedom.  We could blame “covid” but covid is just a tool.  We are vulnerable because we have lost the will to be free.  We must begin now to rekindle it or lose it forever.

Are you a domestic terrorist? Here are some plausible examples of how the “domestic terrorist” label might be applied by federal bureaucrats to anyone who objects to federal policies. a) Those that display the Gadsden Flag (“Don’t Tread On Me”). b) Those concerned about illegal immigration. c) Those who believe in the right to bear arms. d) Anti-abortion activists. e) Those opposed to critical race theory. Pick your own example and you just could become a target.

A friend of mine concludes his emails with a standard tagline. “I love my country. It’s the government I fear.” In today’s environment, that says it all.

Our government is evil.  We didn't grow up thinking that.  Most of us instinctively rush to defend our country.  I'm not talking about our country, though.  I am not talking about our people or our heritage.  I am talking about our government - a government that can no longer be said to be "by, of and for the people".  Our government is now in the business of lying to our people, of attempting (with considerable success) to manipulate them against their own best interests.  Truth is now an exotic concept - many of us have come to realize we must seek the truth in spite of government, not with its help.  Our interests as the American people no longer coincide or perhaps even intersect with that of the government.  And I am not just speaking of our federal government, but of our local and state "authorities" as well.  We find ourselves outside the gates in most of the decision process (especially since the 2020 election fraud) and people are finally becoming angry and speaking up at school board meetings and city councils.  High time.  The first step in taking back our country is to recognize the enemy - our own government - and to stop behaving as though they weren't.  We might be experiencing the anxiety before the storm.

This administration has dishonored America.  Nixon and his man Kissinger, dishonored us in the manner in which we left Viet Nam and this "president" has taken betrayal of allies (as well as our own people) up yet another notch.  If this is okay with America we are truly lost and will never be a great country again.  It's more or less up to us - not Biden.  Will we tolerate this kind of performance?  Or will we mete out consequences to this administration?  The answer to that will determine our future and the consequences we must assume if we also fail to act honorably.

Lewis Carroll published “Through the Looking Glass” (1871) as a sequel to his other novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (1865). Alice enters a bizarre and fanciful world by stepping through a mirror. She can see the “other world” beyond the mirror and when she enters it she finds that everything reflected in the mirror is reversed -- including logic. As such, running helps one stay stationary, walking away from something brings one towards it, chessmen are alive, and nursery rhyme characters exist. And so it goes. The reader meets “Jabberwocky,” “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” and “Tweedledum and Tweedledee.”

In modern parlance, through Carroll’s looking glass we meet President Biden and his cabinet. We know all about aristocracy, autocracy, theocracy, plutocracy, democracy. We are now learning about “kakistocracy” defined as government run by the least suitable or most incompetent citizens of a state. This fits Biden and his administration to a “T,” ergo events of his first seven months in office. (The debate still rages as to how these people acquired power in the first place.)

Today word is coming in of the carnage at Kabul.  Instead of accepting responsibility and trying to do something (however futile at this point), our "president" just called a lid again, as per campaign season.  Psaki, his spokescreature, is focusing on "COVID" - you remember, the coronavirus which is basically the common cold, but which Americans have allowed to become a ring in our nose, by which we are jerked around at the whim of the "authorities" - a faceless force apparently bent on destroying us and stripping us of even our humanity.  We have become slaves in less than two years.  Trump started it with allowing the closings, the masks and fast-tracking the deadly vaccine.  He has apparently been bought by the pharmaceutical companies.  I hope the booing increases in volume wherever he dares appear now.  Meanwhile our troops are to become the "test group" in a major lab experiment where we shall find out what happens when - if the real experts are right - they become disabled, ill and dead.  Remember - this is not a volunteer group, it is everyone.  100%.  We will have NO military or navy within two to three years.  How's that sound?  It is past time to call for not impeachment, not resignation, but charges of treason against this ice-cream eating monster and his whole entourage - especially Dr. Jill, his minder and expoiter-in-chief.  If Alzheimer's claim on him is enough to spare him a firing squad let him go to the rubber room and wait out the rest of his sorry life.  It won't be enough to spare his consort in crime, however, "Dr. Jill".  She is competent to stand a military tribunal and the consequences of a guilty verdict.

By now the whole world is up in arms at Biden's colossal failure in Afghanistan.  Afghanistan was never a good idea - we can all thank W for that.  But once we have become embroiled in something we cannot simply disappear without cleaning up the mess we made.  There might not be many ways in which a background in real estate comes in handy in the White House, but during the Trump administration we saw some good examples of negotiating.  A guy who grew up in the halls of Congress perhaps missed out on the finer points and skill of negotiating with an adversary or competitior.  The idea is that you arrive at your desired result in the best way possible with the fewest losses.  That is the way the game is played.  And if you are skilled at it you can make significant gains over time.  You don't need to be in real estate to manage this - Reagan was intelligent enough to understand this intuitively.  Trump swaggered a bit but he managed to keep America in a stronger position through his negoitating experience.  At least he knew how the game is played.  Biden?  Here we have an incompetent, immature and innately stupid individual who is past his best days to say the least, up against a determined force with the staying power and conviction of 700 years.  Who do you think looks good to win?  Well, the game is over now, so we know.  And about 15,000 Americans left behind know and our allies in Afghanistan and throughout the world know.  And it is not at all lugubrious.  Our country has been held up to ridicule and shame.  Joe Biden is helping to hold up one end while the "Tolly-bon" holds up the other and the world is shocked.  Our military and our people have been betrayed.  There is no better word for it.  And when a president sells his own nation out, what is that?  Treason.  Punishable by death.

We are being lied to by our government.  Some of us have been aware for quite some time that we were being lied to but some of us are just now becoming aware - perhaps too late for many - but nonetheless we should know the truth.  "Covid-19" has been a lie - it has held convincing elements of truth, but overall it has been grossly exaggerated to the point of untruth.  The CDC has manipulated the numbers.  Drug companies which fund research have coerced doctors as well as research facilities, to do their bidding - after all, they hold the strings.  We were lied to about the "safety" of "vaccines", about the real efficacy of proven treatments such as ivermectin and hydroxichloroquine.  The infamous "PCR tests" were manipulated to show hugely exaggerated numbers of "cases" - most of them asymptomatic, meaning not really cases at all.  Deaths attributed to "covid" were, in many cases (up to 94% of them, now according the CDC itself) actually due to falls from ladders, cancer, heart attacks, non-covid pneumonia, emphysema, stroke, automobile accidents, etc.  Why the lies?  When has this ever been such a prominent factor?  Yesterday we were lied to again.  This time the government and its agencies and spokesmen told us that the FDA had approved Pfizer's "vaccine".  IT HAS NOT APPROVED IT BUT INSTEAD MERELY EXTENDED ITS "EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION".  

The military are now, on the strength of THIS lie, being force-vaccinated.  My advice to them as an American patriot concerned for the future of my country is WALK AWAY.  Just leave.  Leave while you still have your health and strength.  Leave while you can still contribute to your country's future.  Leave NOW.  Don't take the "vaccines".  This goes for everyone,  first responders and health care workers to the people who work in every industry and profession - from civil servants in places like county, state and federal courts, major corporations, everyone.  WALK AWAY.  Our compliance serves only the evil.  We are living in a horrible house of mirrors - of shattered glass and false perceptions.  We need to step back and look at where we are, how we got here and where this stampede is taking us.

The level of incompetence apparent in the Afghanistan withdrawal has been breathtaking. Even a smart 12-year-old, after all, would know that you have to evacuate American civilians and vulnerable allies before removing your military personnel. This reality has given rise to staggering speculation, that, for example, the powers-that-be desired this messy outcome. Some have even theorized that the goal, by hate-America-first Deep Staters, is to diminish the United States.

But what if the goal is actually to damage the Joe Biden administration, something that’s already a fait accompli?

See the pattern? None of the dire predictions have come to pass. Stupid is as stupid does. So, which is it? Global warming -- or global cooling – or climate crisis? Or are they the same old hysteria-stoking scare tactics used to advance a Democrat Socialist agenda through fear and manipulation. Any which way it is hogwash.

Just call it “weather” and leave mankind out of it.
