Western Man and the Suicide Porn of Our Age
Before rushing to write obituaries for its enemies, Western “democracy” should ask how much time it has left in the sun.
Forty-five years ago, anti-communist dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn caused a stir at Harvard with a famous commencement speech deploring the decadence of the West. The rivalry of the Cold War was not as neat as it appeared, he said. The liberal West, by making man and his desire for material satisfaction the measure of all things, was becoming a spiritual desert not unlike the Communist world:
One does see the same stones in the foundations of an eroded humanism and of any type of socialism: boundless materialism; freedom from religion and religious responsibility (which under Communist regimes attains the stage of anti-religious dictatorship); concentration on social structures with an allegedly scientific approach. (This last is typical of both the Age of Enlightenment and of Marxism.) It is no accident that all of communism’s rhetorical vows revolve around Man (with a capital M) and his earthly happiness. At first glance it seems an ugly parallel: common traits in the thinking and way of life of today’s West and today’s East? But such is the logic of materialistic development.
The West had become cowardly and ruled over by “legalistic” elites without morality. The erstwhile master of the world was becoming the slave of its former colonies.
Solzhenitsyn’s oracular pronouncements ring even truer today. Western “scientists” fancy themselves miracle workers who are beyond reproach, and they are treated as such by intellectual elites and much of the population. Despite its uncontested material prosperity, the West is so enervated that many are captivated by the prospect of their own destruction. Western nations have welcomed the steady replacement of their peoples and cultures as “progress.” COVID, before it became hysteria, was an entertainment that filled many a void in people’s lives. When an eerie smog enveloped the northeastern United States earlier this month, quite a few got carried away with morbid speculation of a looming apocalypse.
A short-lived “coup” in Russia this weekend was the latest fascination of jaded Westerners.
Overnight, liberals became partisans of a foreign mercenary group headed by Putin’s former chef, who had pledged to march on Moscow. But the feverish anticipation over such a bold venture, unheard of in today’s world, was nonpartisan. An information blackout did not stop Putin’s more passionate critics from declaring his demise. Putin himself, in a speech to the Russian people attacking the “criminals,” compared the attempted “coup” to the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. And then, as quickly as it began, it was over without an ounce of blood spilled.
The eventless-ness of the postwar world has taken its toll on the human psyche. In his famous review of Mein Kampf, George Orwell credited Hitler with this psychological insight: human beings want not only to have comfort, pleasure, and security, but occasionally, to experience pain, difficulty, and danger. It is quite natural for the Ukrainians to want the Russians out of their country. What is strange is the West’s ideologization of this object, for which it is prepared to risk everything, even nuclear war. Possibly the West wants to be put out of its misery, without knowing it.
If the world is spared fiery destruction, the alternative is to trudge aimlessly through an endless winter. Western leaders have become hectoring dictators, caught up in endless exhortation. Toward what goal? “Democracy,” they say. “Equity.”
What have been the fruits of these idols? Oppressive ennui, mediocrity, and evils that multiply faster than the human imagination can reckon. The political freedoms once associated with Anglo-American liberalism, such as free speech, are now an illusion, replaced by a purely libertine conception of “freedom.” The blasphemous worship of sexual exotics and racial minorities is enforced by the world’s most powerful government. What could be worse than world war, you ask: How about a 1,000-year-long celebration of sodomy?
Not since the days of the Roman Empire have Christians faced so fearsome and obdurate an enemy.
Solzhenitsyn predicted that a consanguinity between Western liberalism and communism meant the former would inevitably lose to the latter and its undiluted offering of utopia, but the totalitarian evolution of “liberal democracy” since the fall of the Soviets has rendered the distinction meaningless. Western “democracy” has become a powerful force for evil in the world, one that ruthlessly lowers the horizon of man to the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. Propaganda portraying Putin as the valiant foe of an atheist empire has found sympathy among disaffected Westerners for a reason.
After the “coup” in Russia, the consensus in the Western media is that Putin looks weaker than many imagined, but this is likely a mixture of truth and typical Western self-congratulation. Before rushing to write obituaries for its enemies, Western “democracy” should ask how much time it has left in the sun. It is ultimately a question of whether Western man can be reduced to a brute with no destiny beyond his next meal.
Civilizations Clash—in Ukraine and at Home
The "culture war" is a clash of civilizations, and America is now a torn country.
Samuel Huntington got Ukraine wrong.
That’s what a casual reader of “The Clash of Civilizations?”—published in Foreign Affairs 30 years ago this summer—might think.
Huntington was at the peak of his career as a political science professor and director of the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University when he wrote, “the fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future.”
The Cold War with the Soviet Union was over.
American troops easily evicted Saddam Hussein from Kuwait two years earlier.
This was meant to be a golden age—a new world order, as President George H. W. Bush called it, even “the end of history.”
But Huntington knew perpetual peace had not arrived. Nor was foreign policy about to become mere police work.
The Islamist atrocities of 9/11 confirmed his insights. The “War on Terror” was really a war between the West and another civilization’s most militant manifestation.
The Bataclan Theater in Paris and the London Underground were as much a battlefield in this war as the caves of Tora Bora or the deserts of Iraq.
Yet Huntington had his detractors, who claimed civilization itself was a racist term and unscientific.
More recently, some have called out Huntington’s 1993 assertion that “If civilization is what counts . . . the likelihood of violence between Ukrainians and Russians should be low.”
Ukraine sits atop a fault line between the West and what Huntington called Orthodox civilization.
He expected no earthquakes, however, because Ukraine and Russia “are two Slavic, primarily Orthodox peoples who have had close relationships with each other for centuries.”
Did he fail to foresee Putin?
Not exactly.
American leaders feared the worst from the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. President Bush warned Ukrainians, in particular, against pursuing immediate independence from Moscow.
In remarks penned by Condoleezza Rice—later dubbed the “Chicken Kiev” speech by columnist William Safire—Bush condemned “suicidal nationalism” and appeared to make the case that the Soviet Union was good for free trade among its member republics.
A neoliberal, anti-populist argument for the Soviet empire—the Ukrainians, bravely and sensibly, ignored Bush and declared national independence.
That wasn’t tantamount to a declaration of war with Moscow.
Huntington was right: For nearly a quarter-century, the remarkable thing wasn’t the tensions between Ukraine and Russia but that the friction didn’t ignite into war.
Yet Huntington was not naive about the direction Russia was likely to choose in the future.
He defined Russia as the most important “torn country,” forced to decide which civilization it would follow.
“The question of whether Russia is part of the West or the leader of a distinct Slavic-Orthodox civilization has been a recurring one in Russian history,” he wrote. The demise of the USSR raised it again.
What’s happened in the 30 years since Huntington wrote “The Clash of Civilizations?” is that more and more torn countries have made up their minds.
Ukraine, torn between Western and Orthodox civilization, chose the West—and Putin invaded.
Russia, civilizationally invested on Serbia’s side in the Balkan conflicts of the 1990s, turned away from the West as NATO intervened in support of Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo.
Other nations have also made civilizational choices.
Turkey, under President Recep Erdogan, is still a member of NATO but has rejected the Westernizing secularism of Kemal Ataturk in favor of stronger commitments to Islam.
India, likewise, has been moving away from the Western model of nonsectarian liberal democracy toward a reassertion of Hindu civilizational roots.
Huntington’s former student and rival prognosticator of the post-Cold War world, Francis Fukuyama, envisioned a future in which liberal democracy would inexorably spread.
In the three decades since Huntington challenged Fukuyama’s “end of history” thesis, the older scholar has been proved right. The War on Terror was a tragic confirmation.
America fought for 20 years to bring a semblance of liberalism and democracy to Afghanistan, only for the Taliban to retake power the minute our forces left.
The outcome is hard to explain in Fukuyama’s terms but all too predictable, according to Huntington.
We embarked on nation-building when the task confronting us was really that of changing a civilization. It never stood a chance.
The one big thing missing from Huntington’s theory is supplied by the last book he wrote before his death in 2008.
In Who Are We? The Challenges to America’s National Identity, published in 2004, Huntington recognized the clash of civilizations was coming home.
The “culture war” is a clash of civilizations, and America is now a torn country.
Are we still Western, or are we woke?
Until we make that choice, the clash of civilizations will be fought as much within our own institutions — and souls — as on the borders of Europe or across the Taiwan Strait.
DeSantis Rolls out Bold 'Stop the Invasion' Plan to Finally Put an End to Biden's Border Crisis
Throughout the 2020 presidential primaries, Joe Biden continually signaled to the world that if he won the election, America was going to all but install northbound people movers along the southern border. Roughly 5.5 million illegal aliens later, the Biden Border Crisis continues unabated.
On Monday, Florida governor and 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis unveiled an impressive, comprehensive plan to stop Biden’s invited invasion of America in its tracks “once and for all … by stopping the invasion, building the wall, holding cartels accountable, and working with states to enforce the law.”
DeSantis revealed the plan at a campaign event in Eagle Pass, Texas, near the border.
Joe Biden’s dereliction of duty has made our southern border a disaster zone. The Biden Administration is the critical link in an illegal transnational human smuggling syndicate. For decades, leaders from both parties have produced empty promises on border security, and now it is time to act to stop the invasion once and for all.
As president, I will declare a national emergency on day one and will not rest until we build the wall, shut down illegal entry, and win the war against the drug cartels. No excuses. We will get it done.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported from Eagle Pass:
One of the biggest things that jumped out to me is Gov. DeSantis says if he’s president he intends to change rules of engagement at the border to allow for deadly force to be used against anybody cutting through the border wall. He adds, quote, “If you drop a couple of these cartel operatives, they will stop coming.
Translation: “Compassionate” Biden and the Democrats are going to hate every word of it.
An impressive website titled “Mission — Stop the Invasion — No Excuses” reads, in part:
Joe Biden has failed to meet the most basic responsibility of ensuring the territorial integrity of our country. Biden’s gross dereliction of duty has left the southern border in shambles.
Millions of illegal aliens have entered the United States during Biden’s administration, including criminal aliens and individuals suspected by the U.S. government of terrorism, which has overwhelmed communities across the nation.
[…]
Vast expanses of the border have no barrier at all, as the needed border wall is far short of completion. The Mexican drug cartels have capitalized on Biden’s failure by trafficking humans and drugs across the border at record levels. The drugs that infiltrated our country have devastated communities from coast to coast: fentanyl trafficked across the southern border is now the leading killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 50.
This epic failure to reclaim our sovereignty has caused harms that touch millions of Americans in their daily lives. Public safety has suffered. El Paso, TX used to be a quiet, orderly town, yet they recently had to suspend their streetcar service because there were some 1,800 illegal aliens sleeping on the sidewalk.
And it’s not just El Paso—every border town is under assault: sidewalks filled with illegals from around the world, emergency rooms overflowing, ranches and homes overrun, and public safety shredded because Joe Biden has refused to meet his most basic responsibility of upholding American sovereignty.
Every word in the above statement flies in the face of the continuing lies of Biden, disastrous Homeland Security head Alejandro Mayrokas, and every other member of an inept administration that intentionally continues the illegal alien madness.
Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy, who’s endorsed DeSantis, said of the “Stop the Invasion” plan:
Washington’s status quo approach to border security is one of the biggest failures of our generation. This crisis has decimated ranchers, killed Americans with dangerous narcotics, placed migrants in horrific situations from sex trafficking to death, and placed American national security at risk to China and cartels.
Texans and our courageous DPS Troopers deserve credit for standing in the breach created by Joe Biden. We need a president in the White House who is not afraid to use the full weight of his office to build the wall, stop the flow, and force Congress to send a bill to sign to fix the laws once and for all.
Ron DeSantis not only has a strong plan to secure the border – in line with our Texas plan – he has the courage to finally deliver results.
Again, every word Roy spoke was true.
While Biden 2024 challenger Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calls the continuing border crisis a “dystopian nightmare” and “unsustainable,” House Democrat Chair Pete Aguilar (Calif.) idiotically blames the border crisis on “climate change.”
The Bottom Line
The ugly non-secret secret is the Democrat Party wants to import as many illegal aliens into this country as they can get away with, with the goal being a permanent shift in voter demographics, which Democrats incorrectly believe will provide a permanent majority in Congress and a lock on the White House.
RFK Jr. was right. But “dystopian nightmare” wouldn’t even begin to describe an America permanently ruled by today’s radical Democrat Party.
Biden’s Border Crisis Is As Bad As Ever, His Admin Is Just Better At Hiding It
America’s beleaguered cities and towns, growing numbers of which are suffering unfunded inundation, do not care how the government let 200,000 aliens cross per month. They only care that they are here.
AUSTIN, Texas — President Joe Biden and his top deputies are pushing shell-game accounting and the untruthful narrative that “non-citizen” crossings over the U.S. southwest border have plummeted by up to “70 percent,” so there’s nothing to see here, folks. Not so fast.
Despite the claimed success of the administration’s new “stiffer consequences” border management plan since the end of the Title 42 pandemic-era instant-expulsion policy on May 11, the historic mass migration crisis rages at full throttle into its third straight year. It rages in three ways that media outlets and even some Republican lawmakers are unwilling to see, acknowledge, or report — but I’ve witnessed all three firsthand at the southwest border.
The CBP-One Illusion
First, the Biden administration is ushering in would-be border jumpers through what it calls a “historic expansion” of granting humanitarian fast-pass entrance slips to intending border jumpers via a cell-phone app called “CBP-One.” This historically expanded program allows those who intended to cross illegally between land ports of entry to now be funneled through them and thus not be counted in the politically problematic monthly “illegal crossings” category.
The “70 percent” decline in “illegal crossings” does not mean 70 percent fewer foreign nationals entered America over the border as implied.
Under the CBP-One rubric, most (if not all) of the administration’s claimed “decline” in “non-citizen” migrants are still pouring into American towns and cities that are, in growing numbers, declaring emergencies and demanding state and federal bailouts. Here’s what a typical CBP-One line into America looks like on the bridge from Matamoros to Brownsville.
The administration so far has maintained the fiction of steep declines in foreign national border entries through secrecy. It will not release the granular-level CBP-One entry data that would tell Americans how many foreign nationals are crossing on bridges and through airports.
As one measure reflecting the administration’s desire to keep CBP-One entries a state secret, the administration ignored my February 2023 Freedom of Information Act request for granular breakdowns of the entries. My employer, the Center for Immigration Studies, has federally filed suit to force compliance. In a more pointed indication of intent to maintain the shell game, the administration ignored a March 2023 formal request for the CBP-One data by Republican lawmakers. That leaves the rest of us to guess and extrapolate.
Former Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan, now a visiting fellow for the Heritage Foundation, did some arithmetic on encounters with “inadmissible aliens” at the southern border land ports and at interior airports through which all CBP-One beneficiaries enter.
He found striking increases in port-of-entry encounters that coincide with the rollout of CBP-One. For instance, in FY 2020, encounters at these borderland and interior ports (excluding the northern border) averaged 20,148 per month during Covid and rose to 45,994 per month in FY 2022, according to Morgan’s tally. But so far in FY 2023 through April, Morgan found 81,512 per month through the same ports, most presumably benefiting from CBP-One.
And this doesn’t include the “historic increases” that the administration says it ordered for CBP-One in May. Morgan said he thinks the number of migrants going through the ports will hit 100,000 in June, a national record. Then the numbers will rise from there as the administration continues to expand CBP-One so that more than a million foreign nationals will cross sight unseen.
If we add the 80,000 presumed CBP-One recipients who enter through ports each month to the number caught in the brush — 169,244, for instance, that Border Patrol caught in the brush in May — the total comes out to a projected rate of about 250,000 in a month.
Subtracting those the administration actually deported under Title 8 and the last days of Title 42 that month, 36,000, then the total number of foreign nationals who entered over the southern border still comes in at a historic record rate of about 215,000. That falls in the historic and stratospheric territory of the Biden border crisis.
And it is smack dab in the average zone of 178,053 per month since October 2022. Since March 2021, Border Patrol’s non-port-of-entry brush apprehensions have ranged from as low as 169,000 to a high of 221,000 (December 2022), according to CBP’s public reports. For an eye-opening comparison, consider the final year of former President Donald Trump’s administration when monthly caught-in-brush numbers stood around 30,000.
America’s beleaguered cities and towns, growing numbers of which are suffering unfunded inundation, do not care how the government let 200,000 aliens cross per month. They only care that they are here.
Notwithstanding CBP-One, strong evidence suggests that rates of illegal entry through the brush, since a pause that came when the administration replaced Title 42, is now quickly growing. Immigrants have learned that the administration will reward them, not punish them as promised.
Spike in Families, Minors, and More
Second, illegal crossings of family units, unaccompanied minors, and foreign nationals from “recalcitrant countries” are on a sharp upswing. They are crossing illegally between ports after discovering that Biden’s Department of Homeland Security is not rigorously applying the promised harsh punishments of its new plan, which threatens “expedited removal” under Title 8, wholesale asylum-claim denials, prosecution, and five-year bans on legal reentry.
I just came back from Mexico and the Border Patrol’s Del Rio Sector, which is experiencing a major surge of illegal crossings again. What I found and reported in the New York Post is that family groups in line for CBP-One finally discovered that they could abandon their spots in line, cross illegally, and still gain entrance into America with none of the promised negative consequences.
Biden’s rules do not apply to families, and so their numbers are spiking from the 25,000 monthly range in January and February to 44,900 in May. Expect torrents of them going forward. There is also evidence that unaccompanied minors are flooding in at the pre-Title 42 rate of 11,000-12,000 per month because they too are exempt from the new, supposedly tough rules.
In addition to families and solo teens who are all but guaranteed quick releases, the administration is allowing large numbers of aliens, single adults and families alike, from dozens of distant countries to go free into the United States on the same personal recognizance with notice-to-appear papers. Large spigots are open in the Yuma and in the Rio Grande Valley sectors.
During a recent layover at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, I saw hundreds of the released, like these Senegalese and Mauritanian men, waiting for flights to airports all over America. They are identifiable by the plastic bags they all carry full of DHS documents. They crossed illegally because they too learned that Biden will not back up his Title 8 tough talk. The administration is releasing thousands of extra-continental aliens every month, among them Afghans, Sudanese, Egyptians, Somalis, and more.
The reasons for their entrance may be that their home nations, like China and Afghanistan, are “recalcitrant” and will not accept them back, that U.S. facilities are full, or that the administration wants as many as possible to come in. Word of this has clearly spread all over the world as historic levels of extra-continental aliens course through the Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama — an anticipated 300,000 in 2023, among them minors and families who know the administration will let them in.
More and More Got-Aways
Third, the number of runners and “got-aways” appears to have spiked since May 11.
As I recently reported from Juarez and New Mexico along the Arizona state line, a major outbreak is now underway of “runners” who hope to evade Border Patrol and enter the U.S. illegally by hiring professional human smugglers. Upon entering successfully, runners will be tallied by Border Patrol as “got-aways.”
The government does not release these numbers, but they are widely leaked and show that a surge of runners and got-aways is underway. Since Biden took office, some 1.7 million foreign nationals have become got-aways in total, smashing historic records. Now that number seems only to be going up.
In April, more than 70,000 were reported on the border and in the interior, and in May about 60,000, according to leaked figures I received. These kinds of monthly numbers reside at the far upper scale of got-away tallies even for the Biden administration, judging by data that the Heritage Foundation’s “Oversight Project” received through FOIA.
Consider that got-aways tallied at the 25,000-per-month range during FY 2021, which came in at 308,655, according to the Heritage Foundation’s numbers. It doubled to 50,000 per month in FY 2022 when 606,150 got-aways were tallied, according to data shared with me.
At 60,000-70,000 a month and higher, FY 2023 is projected to top 1 million got-aways.
This is happening because got-aways most typically are foreign nationals who know their criminal backgrounds, warrants, or other ineligibilities would preclude them from CBP-One or catch-and-release. They also know the Biden government has all but ended interior enforcement, a big bonus. So they are running a nominal “blockade.”
In all three of these ways, the border crisis continues at the same historic, stratospheric levels as when Biden took office — the only difference being that Fox News drones can see very little of any of this.
Out of sight, though, should never mean out of mind.
Convicted Oath Keeper Jessica Watkins Was Set Up by Federal Agent Posing as “1% Watchdog”
I do not know all the details of her case, trial and subsequent conviction; however, I do know Jessica Watkins and other Oath Keeper members were entrapped by a federal agent organizing activity under the username “1% Watchdog.” I am certain of this element because the J6 committee falsely accused me of being that user. {GO DEEP}
The Gateway Pundit ran an article today [SEE HERE] which includes an interview from prison with Ms. Watkins, who continues to claim her innocence. Ms. Watkins gave an interview to Flip the Switch with Jenn {Direct Rumble Link} video and audio below:
Again, I do not know Ms. Watkins or any of her allies and associates. However, the subpoena I received from the J6 Commitee, specifically identified her as one of the people they falsely claimed I was associated with. I have unredacted her name from the subpoena below in the hopes that her legal team (if any) can see the value it presents.
I have written about the entrapment issue HERE, as well as the value that should be clearly evident. Counselors – On behalf of your client(s) file a motion with the judge requesting a court order compelling Zello to give up the registration records of the ‘Stop the Steal J6’ channel. This will identify the person behind “1% Watchdog”. If federal prosecutors fight the request for the court order, well: (a) there’s your answer; and (b) take the next step of using the preexisting congressional subpoena as evidence to support your compulsion.
When I received the subpoena, it held no value because it was gibberish. Nothing in the subpoena is materially correct, accurate or pertaining to me. However, pay attention to the red box on the page shown. This is essentially the probable cause that justifies the subpoena itself.
[ FULL BACKGROUND ]
Everything revolves around the identity of the person behind the “1% watchdog” user id.
According to the subpoena whoever started the Zello channel with the user id “1% watchdog”, is the person who organized many of the J6 events. Essentially, 1% is the canary in the coal mine of multiple investigations.
As you can see from the subpoena, investigators told me they had “public-source and documents on file with the committee” attributing me to the user id “1% Watchdog.”
Before the federal investigators admitted their mistake, and then urgently wanted to dispatch any further contact with me, they informed me that statements on Twitter and other social media platforms were used in tracking the 1% Watchdog identity to me.
In my humble opinion, and applying Occam’s Razor, “1% Watchdog” was/is a federal agent. What other motive would a person carry to fabricate their identity, create false bona fides, if not to influence a sense of trust in their target audience?
It looks to me like Jessica Watkins and perhaps others, were solicited by user account “1% watchdog,” who in my estimation was working for the government. This is a classic case of entrapment. The Zello “stop the steal channel” was likely a federal operation.
I repeat…. Counselors – On behalf of your client(s) file a motion with the judge requesting a court order compelling Zello to give up the registration records of the ‘Stop the Steal J6’ channel. This will identify the person behind “1% Watchdog”.
If federal prosecutors fight the request for the court order, well: (a) there’s your answer; after all, if this person was doing such horrible insurrection things, wouldn’t the feds want to know who that person is? And (b) take the next step of using the preexisting congressional subpoena, fraught with false attribution, as evidence to support your compulsion. The former investigative attribution was wrong, use their investigative mistake to find the identity of the person who set up Jessica Watkins and others.
Media Uses Failed Russia ‘Coup’ To Knock Bombshell Biden Scandal Off The Front Page
Don’t take the bait.
Last Thursday, House Republicans released two explosive testimonies from IRS whistleblowers that, if true, further suggest President Joe Biden sold his political power for profit from our enemies abroad via his son Hunter’s business dealings. Moreover, they allege the Department of Justice has done everything in its power to for years protect the Bidens, even to the point of massively interfering in an American election.
This story is huge — bigger than Monica Lewinsky and Watergate combined. If confirmed, it means that the sitting President of the United States is potentially compromised by our nation’s adversaries, and the intelligence apparatus are enabling his corruption. We have no choice but to tear it down.
Yet you wouldn’t know any of that from the headlines this weekend. Sunday’s premiere, front-page stories in each of America’s biggest newspapers — The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and The Washington Post — were all about the quick and unsuccessful “coup” in Russia. Mentions of the Biden scandal were scant. The New York Times’ only featured Biden scandal article, titled “The Real Lesson From the Hunter Biden Saga,” reads like satire, dismissing all the mounting allegations against the president and even praising him as a “model of … love and support” for people with drug-addicted family members.
It’s pretty interesting that almost immediately after the publication of the IRS whistleblower testimonies, the White House and State Department began sounding alarm bells over a “coup” that was over almost as soon as it started. Naturally, the corporate media was grateful to be handed a distraction story on a silver platter. The short-lived mutiny has not only dominated the headlines this weekend but was also granted wall-to-wall coverage on every major TV news channel. CNN, in particular, has really taken advantage of the Russia “coup,” using it as an opportunity to extol Biden for his “mastery of foreign policy.”
None of this is to say that this alleged attempted coup against the Kremlin isn’t newsworthy. The story has its place in the “world news” section. However, a foreign uprising that may or may not impact a war America has no business participating in should not be commanding the front pages for days on end, especially when we have far bigger fish to fry.
That said, the supposed coup isn’t the only distraction that’s been deployed by those in the press and federal government who want to direct our focus away from the Biden scandal. Mere hours after the notorious Titan submersible began its journey, the Biden Administration knew it had likely imploded but did not tell the public. Instead, they led us to believe the passengers may still be alive. Likewise, the media dutifully occupied the public with exhaustive, hour-by-hour coverage of a “search and rescue mission” that the U.S. military already knew was in vain. The day the literal “oxygen remaining” countdowns were over was the same day House Republicans released the testimonies.
To those who criticize conservatives for calling foul play on the corporate media’s behavior this week: We already know for a fact that Democrats don’t want the American people to hear about, let alone talk about, the Biden scandal. Every single Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, which ultimately released whistleblower testimonies, voted to hide them from the public. Meanwhile, the White House has completely avoided addressing the allegations altogether.
The most important thing Americans can do right now is to not be distracted. Resist the media manipulation, know the facts about the ongoing Biden scandal, and spread the word to everyone you know.
Here are the major revelations:
There is further evidence that the “conspiracy theorist” Republicans were right and that the 2020 presidential election was, indeed, rigged. The whistleblowers are claiming that the FBI authenticated Hunter’s infamous laptop almost a full year before the New York Post broke the story, and yet the FBI still encouraged Big Tech to censor the story ahead of the election, swaying the vote in Joe Biden’s favor.
Before the election, The DOJ allegedly hindered the IRS investigation into Hunter’s tax crimes, refusing to let investigators go public with it, refusing to approve a search warrant, and ultimately suspending the entire investigation because it would impact the 2020 election.
After the election, when the investigation was relaunched, investigators were told they could not ask interviewees about Hunter’s numerous references to his father or “the big guy” in his business dealings. Then, a few days later, the FBI tipped off “people very close to President Biden and Hunter Biden” the night before investigators planned to conduct interviews and request a consented search of Hunter’s home.
Lastly, the IRS reportedly uncovered a threatening WhatsApp message between Hunter and a Chinese businessman with ties to the CCP. In the message, Hunter writes that he’s “sitting here with [his] father” before threatening to weaponize Joe Biden’s power against the man if unspecified “promises and assurances” are not kept.
“I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction,” Hunter allegedly wrote. “All too often people mistake kindness for weakness — and all too often I am standing over top of them saying I warned you.”
The deep state, corporate media, and the Biden administration think the American people are stupid. They think a couple of sensationalized stories and neglectful coverage of the whistleblower testimonies will make the bombshell Biden scandal blow over. But it won’t if we don’t let it.
