JANUARY 6 LIES EXPOSED

Tucker Carlson released January 6th footage which revealed the so-called ‘insurrection’ was not an insurrection at all.

It was largely a peaceful protest. The Trump supporters who entered the Capitol Dome that day arrived to protest a stolen presidential election. They mostly marched in orderly fashion and some even received help from the police. One protestor known as the ‘Q Shaman’ was accompanied by the police who acted as ‘tour guides.’ Compare the peaceful and unarmed January 6 protest to the violent, destructive conflagrations put on by Antifa and we find there is big difference. Antifa is a Marxist outfit and the Democrats made sure they got away with their crimes.

You might wonder why the horn-wearing Shaman and Trump supporter, Jacob Chansley, plead guilty on the insurrection charges. The answer is simple. The Democrat prosecutors probably threatened him with 20 years for something such as threatening to kill Mike Pence (which he certainly did not do). Chansley settled for nearly 4 years in prison, which is grossly unfair because he lacked the exculpatory video evidence to which he and all the J6 protestors were entitled.

Many Trump supporters were arrested for simply walking on Capitol grounds. They were welcomed there by FBI operatives. Doors were opened for them. For that, many hundreds were sent to prison—including a hell hole prison in Washington D.C. where they were denied due process and brutally beaten by guards who were trained to despise the MAGA-minded. The patriots who received long prison sentences should be considered political prisoners.

Carlson proved what we already knew: That the January 6th Select Committee was incredibly biased and anti-Trump. They cherry-picked footage and hired a movie director to put together clips that seemed to prove their drummed-up charges of a Trump-led insurrection.

It was all lies.

The Committee members included two Republican—RINOs LIz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. All of the members gushed out lies. The Committee was not interested in allowing refutation. Theirs was Soviet-style kangaroo court and it was determined to get even with Trump and his supporters. Unfortunately for Trump’s supporters, they received the KGB treatment. This is what America has become. It’s a disgrace and outrage.

Comically, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer demanded FoxNews censor Tucker Carlson for ‘the sake of Democracy.’ Democracy apparently means no free speech according to Schumer.

THE BLOB OF BIG GOVERNMENT- IT JUST KEEPS GROWING
In the iconic Steve McQueen sci-fi/horror movie, “The Blob,” you may have noticed the blob had a rather modest start. It came from a small meteorite that cracked open. By the end of the movie, it had grown to epic proportions through blind rapacity.

Our government is pretty much the same. It started out small—thanks to our Founding Fathers—but eventually it grew into a gigantic, malicious monster. ‘We The People’ are growing increasingly afraid of the ravenous parasite that is consuming its host.

If the blob has any real purpose, it’s this: It wants to incorporate the individual into itself. That way the individual can offer no resistance. It becomes part of the blob and does its bidding. The blob wants to do away with equal justice and the rule of the law. The blob’s law is ‘might makes right’ and the blob has a lot of might.

The blob’s abusive all-for-me-none-for-you nature permeates and penetrates into every institution, home, and school. It spreads its bloody slime of corruption, greed, and selfishness. Those who object are forced into submission and devoured. The blob destroys everything that is decent and good. You like your Second Amendment? You can soon kiss it goodbye. You like privacy and freedom? They are already being absorbed into the blob at an increasingly frightening rate. Freedom of speech? The blob always has the final say. The blob determines reality. The light of truth and reason gets eclipsed by the blob’s formless evil.

The leviathan government blob currently belches out lies such as ‘climate change’ and ‘a man can be a woman.’ These inventions are designed to confuse and paralyze victims while advancing the blob’s nefarious purpose, which is the expansion of evil. Soon we will have a world government blob and it will continue drain everything decent and good, while eliminating all resistance and hope. Its sheer cumbersome weight and power will ultimately break every man, woman, and child. Not only in the US, but in the entire world. In the entire universe of the blob could engage in space travel.

Justice and freedom will soon be forgotten myths if we let the government blob have its way.

One question remains:

How do we defeat this blob?

As patriots, we must halt the blob’s spread. It would be nice to send it all some arctic nether region like in the movie, but short of that we must freeze the Deep State Swamp and its alphabet institutions (CIA, FBI, NSA, CDC, IRS, ATF, IRS, ETC). We must end the Federal Reserve. This can take place by means of a peaceful revolution, but one way or another we must halt the bulge of corruption and tyrannical actions by means of meting out justice. We must cut off the blood flow to the blob. The cancerous blob thrives on easy, free money at the expense of its victims. It must end!

In order to restore freedom and the possibility of peace and happiness, we must destroy the blob and start over by keeping a new and little blob confined into that small meteorite, which is the rule of law.

SILICON VALLEY BANK, JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG

Update: U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen rules out a bailout of collapsed Silicon Valley Bank.

Silicon Valley Bank is yet another example of corruption in the banking sector. I’ve read that SVB is the second largest banking failure in US history.

A woke and ‘green’ bank, SVB was devoted to ‘DIE,’ or Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity.

Maybe the latter in particular contributed to their collapse, but before it did go bust executives running the sorry show made sure they cashed out of their stock and rewarded all the top executives with generous bonuses. The taxpayers will pick up the rest of the tab via FDIC insurance.

A lot about this bank collapse sounds familiar. Jim Cramer recommended the stock ahead of its demise—just like he did with Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. Of course, Cramer should be put on the ignore list after he pounded the table and insisted on forced Covid vaccinations for everyone in America. The man sided with tyranny. Don’t side with him—ever again.

Then there is the billionaire class that always seems to come out on top. Peter Thiel’s fund withdrew most of its money out of SVB just in time. Perhaps Thiel possessed better inside information due to his Palantir ball or something, or it could be that he is smart and always knows when it’s time to ‘get out.’ My point is the insiders always have the advantage. Regular investors become bag holders.

We need a criminal investigation into SVC, but most likely they will be bailed out before the collapse of more financial institutions is triggered. We know Wells Fargo has problems, almost on a continuous basis. Apparently deposits were disappearing and many customers complained of incorrect balances. WF is a criminal organization that has already paid large fines in the past—just like Pfizer.

I’m hardly the one to dispense financial advice, but be careful with banks—especially the large ones. I once went ‘all in’ on silver and I was convinced that I would make a fortune. Instead JPM crushed silver through illegal shorting and manipulation. They paid a fine, but the damage was done. Starting on May 1, 2011, their traders illegally colluded and shorted silver—and in a year or two the shiny metal collapsed down to $13. It forced me to realize just how much power and influence the big banks possessed. The average Joe stands no chance against them. That’s why I would not keep an inordinate amount of money in any bank—especially during these unstable times. One could wake up and find their banks declaring bankruptcy and their money gone.

The ultimate blame belongs to the Federal Reserve. It was set up with the promise of ending booms and busts. Instead, they intentionally brought about continuous booms and busts. The Roaring 20s and easy credit. Then the Great Depression made longer by FDR’s bad policies that benefited big banks who wanted to buy up infrastructure for pennies on the dollar. Then we had the post-WWII boom, the inflation bubble caused by the Vietnam War and LBJ’s ‘Great Society’ spending. We experienced very high interest rates under Jimmy Carter. Fed Chairman Paul Volcker stepped in and raised them to ridiculous highs in order to counter inflation as well as crush the gold and silver ‘bubble.’ Then we got the housing bubble, the Internet bubble, the post-9-11 stock market crash, and the 2008 bank crash due to their criminal manipulation of housing derivatives. After that we got the ‘everything bubble,’ which may be crashing right now. Will SVB trigger more failure? Maybe not right away, but the dollar is fundamentally flawed and it won’t take much for another Great Depression. Perhaps the BRICS countries will trigger it. Or maybe WWIII.

We live in perilous times. We could see some ’titanic’ economic destruction. I still favor “real money:” gold and silver, but it wouldn’t hurt to stock up on storable food, ammo, and easily-traded items such as packs of cigarettes, toilet paper, medicine, and/or small bottles of booze.

quote:

DEATH OF THE DOLLAR

BRICS is an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. They are countries that want to free themselves from the dollar-based US hegemony.

The dollar may be the ‘world’s reserve currency,’ but chains are made to be broken. The BRICS countries want trade to be more free and fair. They do not wish to be yoked to a slave currency based on debt.

The money masters behind our debt currency, the US dollar, are able to counterfeit as much of it as they like in order to further their wealth and power. Citizens are required to pay it all back with interest, which ultimately we cannot do without counterfeiting ourselves and if we tried, we’d be tossed in prison. Even worse, banks are allowed to engage in fractional reserve banking, which means they can loan out money many times what they have on deposit. When their loans and ‘investments’ go bad and they’re on the edge of collapse, those in charge start threatening contagion and economic disaster. The Federal Reserve then steps in to bail out the failed banks. Their managers even get bonuses! This happens over and over again. The bankers enjoy privatized profits while their losses are socialized. This is not capitalism! The powerless citizens (seen as suckers by bankers) are forced to pick up the tab by means of inflation and a devalued currency.

The US dollar was once based on commodities—gold, silver, and copper. It was constitutional money and since the birth of the nation the dollar was more or less stable and held its value all the way up to the Civil War. Then Lincoln decided to print up ‘fiat’ greenback currency to pay for war debt. Even though he tried to keep the printing commensurate with war production, the value of the dollar went down nearly 50 percent. Peacetime prosperity enabled the dollar to bounce back, but when the Federal Reserve was created, it began to quickly lose value. Since 1913, the dollar has lost 98 percent of its purchasing power.

The globalists, who like to call themselves ‘the elite’ have grown fabulously rich and powerful as they stripped US citizens of their hard-earned labor by means of onerous income taxes. Their purchased politicians stripped us of our rights and liberties and sent many generations of young people to die in their wars designed to bring about world government, which they cynically call ‘our democracy.’

It’s no wonder the BRICS nations are rebelling. They want to use their own stable currency—one based on commodities. China has been dumping US Treasuries in favor of gold. Putin has created a gold-based Ruble. The US should rebel too by ending the Federal Reserve, ending fractional reserve banking, and return to commodity based currency. The latter seems like a pipe dream at this point. The globalist bankers seem bent on destroying, then controlling the smaller banks through means of raising rates to fight the inflation they created. There can’t be a strong economy with inflation, and inflation cannot be conquered without much higher interest rates. Either inflation dies or the dollar dies. The money masters may have chosen the latter. They want to replace the dollar with CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency). They greatly desire software money designed to control a global population. The money masters will gain exponentially more power and control because it will come with a Chinese-style system of social credit control. Dissent will be punished instantly and ruthlessly. Castro’s son, Justin Trudeau, already did this in Canada when he ordered the trucker protestors’ bank accounts shut down. China may be buying gold, but the citizens there will not see a particle of that—their subjugation will be rendered complete should China move to a completely digital currency.

It remains to be seen if all the BRICS countries will implement a commodity-based currency for trade while avoiding such a parallel digital currency, but one thing they have in common is a marked distaste for the global dominance being meted out by the US at the behest of globalist tyrants. Mexico floated the idea of joining BRICS, and they were immediately threatened by military action by some in Congress. They talked about going after Mexico’s drug cartels. Still, the US can’t crush all those wishing to free themselves from the debt dollar. Saudi Arabia and Iran are considering joining BRICS. Even Turkey! These countries are not like Libya and will be far more difficult to crush.

The US needs to abandon global empire, close its borders, end the wars, end the Fed, end the IRS, enact term limits to prevent a corrupt Congress, and return sound money and constitutional rights to We The People.
