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.

We hear it so often that we no longer believe it or take it seriously, but if we do not confront the evil now - recognize it and confront it and defeat it NOW we will lose forever what we thought was our birthright - freedom.  The Australians have already lost this - long ago, one must believe - and now they will lose everything else.  Even their children.  This is knocking on our door right now.  If we don't put an absolute stop to it now, it will be kicking in our door.  And I am not being figurative here but literal.

Suddenly the picture has changed.  Throughout the past year we have seen our basic rights as American citizens, even just as human beings, eroded by governments, acting on behalf of greedy pharmaceutical companies and their accomplices.  The pharmaceutical companies are the real government in the shadows.  If it sounds evil and you are apprehensive,  you would be right to feel this.  We are under immediate threat of losing everything we built over nearly 250 years - a quarter of a millenium.  In a matter of a few months this has been stripped away.  We will inevitably lose the ability to restore freedom  if we do not recognize the threat and act accordingly.  It really IS up to us!  We GIVE these people the authority they use to oppress us.  I have linked two items - please don't fail to look at them.  One comes from the CDC's own website.  It is CHILLING.  The other is a man who thinks he has the solution (he doesn't) and has single-handedly taken it upon himself to re-write the Constitution.  Sounds like a plan, right?  A plan to destroy our last hope of restoring our freedom.  And I use the term "restore" advisedly, for we have already lost our freedom - we must now wrest it back from the fist of those "authorities" who have seized it.   

Cancer! The very word evokes dread. By qualifying the word with an adjective, the seriousness of the disease seems less severe. “Skin cancer” sounds much less threatening. Maybe the fact that skin cancer is visible and not hidden within the body makes it seem less threatening.

I speak with familiarity on this topic, so let me offer words of encouragement to would-be skin cancer casualties by recounting my own experiences. I have had many basal cells, some squamous, and one pre-melanoma cancers removed by excisional and micrographic surgery. Additionally I have had many pre-cancerous skin treatments in an attempt to remove the damaged skin before becoming cancerous. These treatments included chemical eradication as well as photodynamic therapy, freezing, and electrodessication.

Observing today’s power-mad politicians, increasingly above the law and having no respect for it, it could occur to one that maybe, just perhaps, their behavior might be a tad better if they believed there was accountability in the next world that no amount of political clout could forestall.

As for Christianity’s critics, know that faith will certainly seem like a snake-handler’s domain when you have a snake-handler’s understanding of it.  

Robert Burns referred to such a "parcel o' rogues in a nation", who had bought and sold Scotland out for English gold.  It's hard to imagine what he would think of leadership which has either engineered or stood by idly and watched the decimation of America's next generation and our future.  There are hardly words for it.

Last week Labor strongman Richard Trumka died unexpectedly at age 72 of a heart attack.  It leaves a lot of us with many unanswered questions.

There was too much to discuss today for one story, so here are three.  They are inter-connected, of course, but each provides evidence of how far down the drain we have gone and how greed and evil catch up to the evil and greedy.  Perhaps it will be instructive.  Those who might benefit know who they are.  Common sense is increasingly uncommon.  North Dakota is not immune either - North Dakotans have prided themselves on their grasp of essential common sense and yet look at the creature that is representing the state in the U.S. Senate.  What a joke.  We don't wish him ill, we wish him a return to good.  Sadly, it appears he will not find that in Washington.  Right now he is doing harm.  As to the other items, they, like everything, are also tiresomely related to "COVID".  The CDC has usurped the U.S. Congress and Senate in its growing totalitarianism.  Oh, and Richard Trumka has succumbed to his own advice apparently.  It will happen to all who have acceded to the poison injection eventually.  Maybe the weekend will bring some relief.  

"The important thing is to never stop questioning."  Thus said Albert Einstein, whose questioning brought about a great deal of light in the world of science.  America should be down with that.  America is a nation which was founded on the freedom to question, to take a dissenting view, to express an opinion with which others may disagree.  Today's America bears more resemblance to the old Soviet Union, where Pasternak's Nobel Prize winning novel, Dr. Zhivago, was banned in his home country and had to be smuggled out to the West.  Pasternak had a family, so he was vulnerable.  He was forced to reject his Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958.  Today we look a lot like the Soviet Union of 1958, which was about five years after the death of Stalin - Nikita Kruschev's Russia.  Yesterday Dr. Joseph Mercola announced that following a purge conducted by the New York Times, no less, he would be forced to delete 25 years' worth of articles, interviews, discussion panels - information on natural health and natural medicine.  Unfortunately for Mercola and 11 others similarly singled out by the New York Times article, the First Amendment is no longer in force.  We have allowed our freedom to slip through our fingers.  We have been so weak minded that we allowed the ruse of a virus "pandemic" to destroy our Constitution and subvert our institutions.  Our medical profession is a shambles now, with robotic practitioners doing Big Pharma's evil deeds for them, the New York Times and virtually all other media, commercial and social, is censoring us and the experts.  The first thing we need to do is to recognize where we are and begin the long trek back to freedom.  Denial gets us nowhere.

Anyone monitoring the Congressional sausage factory? Probably not. Probably no more so than monitoring the national debt. Who can fathom these leviathans? One may as well ignore them because the majority in the House and Senate who we the people elected certainly ignore them.

Otherwise, in case you are a wee bit curious, there are two – count them – two infrastructure bills moving through Congress. Strange. Why two? Well, first let’s talk about what’s in them. That might shed light as to why two bills.

Such pork. Such unbelievable pork. Pork as far as the eye can see. How can Bernie Sanders and The Squad support such pork?

Sharpen up, folks. Rebuilding America is double-speak for reshaping America from what it used to be into something quite, well – alien. If you get my drift.

It’s amazing how many people are trying to tear down present glories in the name of a past none of them have any interest in going back to. Bringing this to mind is the underreported story of the Canadian church burnings, acts inspired by the claim that Christian-run “residential schools” abused, brutalized and murdered American Indian children.

I investigated this story recently, and it won’t surprise many readers that the Enemedia have completely misrepresented it. And while I covered it here and will have a long magazine essay on the topic go to print this week, the shorter version is this: Insofar as Indian children were forcibly taken to the schools, it was the result of Canadian government policy; many (in fact most, it appears) Indian parents of school pupils wanted their children to attend; and some ex-students describe their years at the institutions as their lives’ best.

LAST OF DALE SCHMIDT'S GREAT WEEKLY FEATURE - 16 YEARS WITH THE DAKOTA BEACON

MAYVILLE STATE SURVEY INCONCLUSIVE; GATE CITY BANK; A FISHY DEAL?; OLYMIP MEDAL CITY; IT SEEMED ROUTINE; DEADLY FORCE; DAKOTA DOZEN; PROTESTORS SAVED BY POLICE; TESLA COP CATS; THE SALE OF COAL CREEK STATION; THE RAINBOW ENERGY DEAL

America and the world are descending into a tyranny by Big Pharma.  This is not hyperbole.  This is cold, hard fact.  The pharmaceutical giants control our governments, they control our employers and through them, they control our lives.  They demand the very power of life and death over each of us.  If we do not bend our knee, if we do not submit to a violation of our body, if we do not accept unacceptable risks in order to obey them we are denied our livelihoods, our careers, our education, our bread, our recreation and now even life-saving medical treatment.  It must be stopped.  Big Pharma must be ended.  Nothing they have given us has been worth it.

There is a lot wrong with the world today.  There are a lot of issues screaming for our attention.  But none is as crucial to our survival as the matter of these "vaccines".  We need to stop the madness.  When a government goes totally off the rails it is imperative that its people stop the damn train.  This is the case here now.  It's not unique - it's happened before - but it might be unique in scope.  Never has such a massive attack on the human race itself ever been launched.  Every employer who is demanding an unconscionable deed by an employee, every governmental official that is backing it up and promoting it, every "health official" who is lying to us, every two-bit profiteer who is hauling in the profits from the misery being wreaked upon us all, they all need to be held to account.  The price for their behavior on our end has been horrendous.  It must be equally meted out to them.  The hour is late  Many have already died or been grievously harmed by these rotten, nasty injections of nanobots.  The whole virus gag was imposed on us so that they could then promote, coerce and then finally attempt to force these "vaccines" on us - the actual motive for the whole thing.  Now it is time for them to pay their bill.

What kind of leader in a free country tells the people they have no right to know the truth?  Who tells us that he's satisfied with the outcome and we don't need to be heard?  What kind of person thinks it's ok to shoot and kill an unarmed American citizen, a veteran, in fact, and that there need be no hearing on the matter?  What kind of person represents North Dakota in the United States Senate?  What a shame.
