Ukraine

--

The New York Times reports (actually):

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has signed off on legislation that would significantly expand the government’s regulatory power over the news media, a measure that journalists have warned will erode press freedom.

Mr. Zelensky, whose administration has been criticized for undermining press freedoms, ordered the drafting of a law increasing media regulation in 2019.

The measure was passed by Ukraine’s Parliament earlier this month along with a spate of other bills that lawmakers say were intended to help the country meet the European Union’s legislative conditions for membership. The bills included measures...

I decided to take the Whitney Webb challenge and fact-check the endnotes of her new book, One Nation Under Blackmail (Vol. 1). Here, at my Patreon channel, are my initial results.

Join and discuss!

Right Now Views not only has the story, it has the video -- a surreal, painful, horrifying footage shot from a phone of a quiet street in Sherman Oaks, California, where I went to school a long time ago. This week, a jackbooted posse of federales jammed into a pick-up truck was deploiyed to arrest Eric Christie, for "January 6." 

Does anyone believe the feds really needed the full metal jacket or whatever SWAT team to bring in Christie, a.k.a. "Fags for Trump"? Of course not. What we are witnessing state terrorism in action, solely designed to frighten, demoralize and subdue American citizens -- the first step in the government's assault on due process, which is the very basis of justice.

Political persecution by the regime continues.

Oh, the legal niceties: The "Bar Association" ... how august, how educated, how reverent of "the Law" -- my eye. 

No matter how many rules, arguments, or credentialed officers of the court, they fail to cover the sound of jackbookts stomping. What a dark day. The president's lawyer, America's mayor, the prosecutor who busted the mob, facing disbarment ... for fighting against a stolen election. 



To be sure, this outrage begins to answer Celia Farber's question: "Why is Rudy Giuliani the only one who wants to prosecute the Biden Crime Family?"

They rest are either in it, or they're afraid.

Service to this country is one of the hallmarks of the politically persecuted, politically prosecuted J6ers. Reading even a little deeply into the bare-bones reports -- seemingly stripped of any "human interest" aspect so as to supress stirrings of reader-sympathy -- tells us that military service, also police work, is quite common. So is are burgeoning families. Quite a few J6ers have children, often young children. Some of them ran businesses before they were arrested. Not surprisingly -- but well worth keeping in mind -- prior criminal activity is extremely rare. You could even say that many of the patriots who stood up in protest of the coup d'etat of 2020 were bona fide pillars of their communities.

All of which underscores the fact that the so-called crimes J6ers allegedly committed are almost always first offenses!

Nonetheless, the US government continues to throw the book at these American patriots, treating them  like career-criminals and dangerous terrorists. Let me qualify that last statement. Rather, it is the illegitimate regime that completely replaced the US government which is throwing the book at them, treating them like career criminals and dangerous terrorists. Which makes sense. To Them, the Usurpers, We, the People, are their worst enemy.

The following thread of Dec 10, 2022, is from the Twitter account of Ty Clevenger

1/12 Here are the Seth Rich records filed by the FBI on Friday night. The FBI has acknowledged it had Seth's personal and work laptops. The FBI wrote a report about Seth's work laptop but now refuses to disclose the report because...

Tempus fugit and all that -- so here's my December appearance on the Audrey Russo Show, the last one for 2022.

Audrey, it can't be said often enough, is a gem, so I can't wait to speak to her in the new year --whatever that looks like!

 

We have a new "Rosenbergs." His name, or its name, is Hunter Biden's laptop. Like "the Rosenbergs," the "Hunter Biden Laptop" is is a touchstone, or, better, a catchall for all existential national security threats that struck at this nation to the Coup of 2020, in which the presidential election was stolen from the People in a conspiracy so immense. We can't talk about that conspiracy, we can't talk about the coup that installed an illegitimate regime run by we know not what power. But we can talk about the HB Laptop. And now, with a gusher of false scent, Elon Musk's Twitter has "leaked" -- released -- the Hunter Biden Laptop Story.  Look that-away, sheeple, and only that-away, sheeple. That's just what they want you to do.

What about Your Laptop -- your Apple laptop; mine, too.

It's hard to think of the best way to sum up Dr. Robert Malone's shocking defamation lawsuit seeking $25 million in damages from Dr. Peter Breggin, Ginger Breggin, America Out Loud, Dr. Jane Ruby, and Red Voice Media (Stew Peters). It's a stink bomb of a disgrace, an anti-personnel weapon of free-speech-destruction, a heat-seeking lawfare missile targeting financial ruin. Above all, though, it's an outrage that Dr. Malone has filed suit against some of the most dedicated, hard-working, courageous and ground-breaking truth-seekers to have emerged during the unfolding horror of the covidian tyranny.  

I've spent the past couple of...

Today's Patreon harkens back to Eugene Lyons, an extraordinarily candid truth-teller and star of America Betrayal (introductory excerpt below). I suppose the post-Thanksgiving subtext is all about what you can and can't say, what you should and shouldn't say, and how silence is and always has been, quite literally, death.

From American Betrayal, pp. 95-99

Two extraordinary and very different works by journalist Eugene Lyons take us a little closer to the answer. One is The Red Decade (1941), “an informal account of Bolshevism in our country,” as he described it, and the other is Assignment in Utopia (1937), his memoir of his personal odyssey from committed fellow traveler of Communism...

The following is a column by the late Vladimir Bukovsky, which ran in the Ukrainian publication Gordon back in June 2016. The English translation is courtesy Gates of Vienna. 

In this essay, Bukovsky attempts to re-introduce the human brain to the notion that life is not simply a choice between the binarian Either/Or -- either Russia / or NATO. 

As recent events show, he was not successful -- although his arguments made all the sense in the world. 

Not that the world wants to make sense.

Bukovsky: As soon as Ukraine got rid of USSR’s yoke, it started asking to join the EU. This is incredibly dumb!

American Betrayal includes an unforgettable "lost" scene from our past: when Rep. Martin Dies, the founding chairman (1938) of the House Un-American Activities Committee, runs into Sen. Joseph McCarthy shortly before McCarthy began his investigations into rampant Communist subversion of the federal government in 1950. 

This meeting is recounted in a section of Chapter 3 recounting the deep bitterness of the investigators, such as House Committe on Un-American Activities' Robert E. Stripling, and the witnesses, such as Whittaker Chambers, who labored to expose the secret, massive Moscow-directed intelligence army of traitors that, in effect, occupied the halls of power in Washington (London, Berlin, Tokyo, Paris ...). For their efforts -- for which history still hasn't caught up with the record and rewarded them -- they were vilified by poisonous Communist-led smear campaigns. This they were never prepared for.

What was that, anyway? Join me at Patreon for my midterm "selection" report, including a bunch of dots connecting back to 2016. 

Election fraud, we hardly knew ye.

One of the most salacious displays of J6 Porn as purveyed by our tormentors is the war cry "Kill him with his own gun." These are the words DC-cop-turned-CNN-pundit Michael Fanone claims he heard chanted, screamed at him by a surging crowd of protestors -- "insurrectionists" -- at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, the day Congress rubber-stamped the presidential election stolen from the People on November 3, 2020. As far as I know, no recording of this alleged chant has ever aired; just Fanone's account of it.

With this claim Fanone made headlines around the world, became a media darling, opened the January 6 Committee hearings, and also titled Chapter 13 of his recently released memoir, Hold the Line: The Insurrection and One Cop's Battle to Save the Soul of America....

Last week, I was honored to be selected to give the Herbert Romerstein Memorial Lecture for the Institute of World Politics in Washington, DC. Alas, there was no video recorded, but the audio comes through loud and clear here at Sound Cloud or here at Youtube.

Dear Michelle,

I saw your column-farewell this morning with resignation and understanding. Michelle Malkin is laying down her clarion pen -- and, yes, I remember well your blog's elegant logo from long ago. The "Left," the "Right" have done everything they could to seize that pen from you, to block it, stop it, tarnish it, break it, box it, sabotage it, silence it ... and they failed. Michelle and her pen have always triumphed. And that is the way the column ends.   

In your characteristic style, you summarized...

The Epoch Tims reports:

The FBI is asking a US Court to reverse its order  that it produce information from Seth Rich's computer.

This is the same Seth Rich's computer, remember, that the FBI lied its head off swearing on a stack of Communist Manifestos that it did not have in its possession. In 2020, it finally allowed how it, welk, yes, had thousands of files from the computer of the 27-year-old DNC official, murdered by assailants unknown in 2016 at age 27, after all.

If the US Court doesn't bend to the Stasi's will (watch out, Judge) and continues to order the FBI to release the...

In a letter to the Canadian Medical Association, Dr. William Makis writes:

On September 3, 2022, I wrote you a letter regarding the sudden and unexpected deaths of 32 young Canadian doctors since the rollout of COVID‐19 vaccines, and I raised concerns about COVID‐19 vaccines and vaccine mandates contributing to these sudden deaths. The letter went viral on social media, it was viewed by millions of people worldwide, was translated into dozens of languages, andbecame the topic of numerous podcasts, media interviews, internet videos and news articles.

There has been a tremendous interest worldwide into what is killing Canada’s fully COVID‐19 vaccinated young doctors. Unfortunately, Canada’s healthcare...

This meme running around sociial media perfectly encapsulates the latest party line zig-zagging.

The about-face from fear-mongering about WWIII under Trump (never mind that Trump started no new wars) to jumping for joy for WWIII under the NWO may be unequaled in vertabrae-crushing severity since Moscow switched its CPUSA members from demonstrating for pacifism during the Nazi-Soviet Pact years (1939-1941) to demonstrating for war after Nazi Germany's attack on the USSR in June of 1941.

Every month, it's rewarding to talk with Audrey Russo. Here's our latest segment.

The Spanish-speaking doctors and scientists of La Quinta Columna are calling out Drs. Cole and McCullough for throwing shade on their research and that of other scientists around the world showing the presebce of graphene oxide in the covid shots. 

Drs. Cole and McCullough don't just minimize the GO research: they reject it categorically. Dr. Cole calls it "myth," "scaremongering" and "hogwash." Yes, he allows, there is "metal debris" present in the vaxxes, but that's only because "manufacturing is poor."  Referencing an Italian study that found graphene oxide in the covid shot, Dr Cole insists that what researchers saw were "cholesteral crystals." He adds something about the presence of "some salt," "crystalization of sugars and...

Jeffrey McKellop, US Army Special Forces (retired), 56, served our nation honorably in numerous theaters of war, including Iraq and Afghanistan, but our nation -- the regime in charge, at least  -- has abused him miserably. As a J6 forever-"detainee," McKellop has been held in that penal hell known as the DC Gulag for some 18 months and counting -- held without bond, held without speedy trial, and in conditions so inhumane and cruel they would be familiar to victims of the USSR's Gulag Archipelago. Earlier this week, McKellop and 33 fellow political prisoners actually wrote a letter...

This little garden spot is Dirt Cowboy Cafe, established 1993, and it sits at the top of Main Street. While not quite so old as Dartmouth College, nearly three decades of top-notch-coffee (and amazing lemon danishes) have made Dirt Cowboy almost as much of a Hanover institution.

Couldn't have written a better intro than "GGR" on Gab to my interview last night with Brannon Howse on LindellTV. Watch here; it starts at 7 minute mark.

Join me at my Patreon channel where I've just posted a talk in two parts considering today's so-called Great Reset in terms of the Morgenthau Plan of the middle 1940s.

There are many differences, of course. In the 1940s, the Allied plan was to deindustrialize only Germany, Today, the former Allies are de-industralizing their own societies all over Europe, heavy industry by fertilizer factory by farm, and don't forget about the US. It's all so easy after we were  softened up by the initial assault of plandemic lockdown. Back in the 1940s, the deindustrailization of Germany (halted around 1947) was in the name of war reparations; the rationale for depopulation was in ideas of collective retribution....

I can't stop watching this. The whole cabinet has to run away from the truth.

In her recent Substack column, Naomi Wolf writes of media attacks, including by the AP. She points out:

The Associated Press is conflicted in covering this story, via its direct financial ties to Xinhua News Agency, the official state news agency of the People's Republic of China. Xinhua is also a ministry-level institution subordinate to the State Council of the Chinese Communist Party (“CCP”), and is the highest-ranking state media organization in China.

Sounds as if the Chinese-Associated Press is conflicted in covering every other story, too. Wolf continues:

AP has a “memorandum of cooperation” (MOC) with Xinhua, which is an entity that Reporters without Borders calls “The World’s Biggest Propaganda Machine.” Members of Congress have asked AP to release documentation of the terms of this MOC. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2018/12/24/congress-demands-answers-aps-relationship-with-chinese-state-media/....

What do 12/7, 11/23, 9/11 and 1/6 have in common?

Join me at my Patreon channel to discuss.

 

Twenty-one-years ago today, I woke up before the rest of the household, as was customary, and went to my desk to write (ditto). I did not go online to scan the news, which was unusual. I was working on an editorial for the Washington Times which I needed to bat out quickly and without distraction. The morning unfolded in happy clamor. I got the dog walked, the kids to school, all in a state of ignorance about how it was that the world had changed. 

Heading back home, I passed a neighbor who answered my greeting with a long face -- she later told me she realized instantly I "didn't know yet."  I knew nothing about September 11 yet except that it was a gorgeously fine day.

Then, a little later, maybe simultanesouly hearing my husband's shout and seeing the above Drudge Report headline, I knew.

But what did I know? The first tower was had just come down....

SOS, America, from the bowels of Deep State hell -- the DC jail where the J6 political prisoners, against all laws, natural, moral, domestic and international, are being punished before they have even gone to trial by a Deep State monolith that, believe me, is coming for all of us.

Barton Shively writes via the Telegram channel J6 Patriot News:

11:38 am 

I'm not doing well today I threw up twice and I have a fever.  I can't stand up I'm very dizzy.. The water tastes horrible I'm sure its not good to drink and were locked down 23 hours a day.

The guard that started all this trouble has been suspended for 6 months pending an investigation.

This place is a hell hole  inhumane treatment is rampant.

I really don't want to die here especially after serving my country honorably.   The marshals are doing nothing. 

Thank you for getting the word out we need more media support.

On July 30, 2002, President George W. Bush signed the Oxley-Sarbanes Act, a post-Enron law "aimed at fraud in corporations," as summed up in a headline in the New York Times.

The newspaper elaborated:

The bill, an extensive overhaul of corporate fraud, securities and accounting laws, creates a regulatory board with investigative and enforcement powers to oversee the accounting industry and punish corrupt auditors. It also establishes new standards for prosecuting wrongdoing and gives corporate whistle-blowers broad new protections. Executives who deliberately defrauded investors would face long prison terms.

Did you know that this same bill crafted to stop white-collar-crime is being used as a big stick felony  charge against January 6 protestors? 

I refer to the provision of the law against "obstruction of an official proceeding." It's a crime,...

American Gulag Chronicles is the name of a Telegram channel which describes itself as being "DEDICATED to posting Letters, Art and Poems from Jan. 6th Prisoners and their Families. Please use Polite Discourse and Respect for your Fellow Members. Submit your letters and Art from J6 prisoners to @FuriousTim for posting."

It boasts 370 subscribers, including me.

Please follow the channel and/or share its posts with friends and family so that Americans can learn what crimes are being committed in their name against our fellows in a hell known as "pretrial detention." These crimes arise from the regime-ordained, sub-Constitutional status of the J6 prisoners, and begin with gross and unlawful deprivation of their due process rights, and routinely include torture as a matter of daily life -- something defense attorney Joseph McBride has  blown the whistle on in recent interviews, as reported in this article by Deborah Heine, "Lawyer: January 6 Clients Are Being Tortured." published by American Greatness.

And had he been elected president in 1976 instead of Jimmy Carter, would he have splintered the Surveillance Deep State into Kennedy's thousand pieces?

Get a load of that kisser: Judge Robert H. Jonker, the US District Court judge who, with his two Big- Government-thumbs on the scales throughout, presided over the do-over trial of about the only Whitmer "fed-napping" plotters who were not FBI assets. 

Verdict this time around? Guilty as re-charged. 

Revolver News sums it up: "Shockingly and disgracefully, two men have been found guilty of plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Whitmer in a retrial of a now infamous entrapment case perpetrated by the FBI."

Couldn't have happened without the honorable judge, as Julie Kelly noted:

Jason Goodman and I tease out the French Revolutionariness of our times today for my Patreon subscribers and Jason's Patreon and Subscribestar subscribers.

The teaser is on Youtube.

Despite the near-total blackout created by media suppression, vicious state propaganda and heartless disinterest, here is an update on the cruelty and lawlessness weaponized against a select group of American patriots who came to (or near) the US Capitol on January 6 to protest the electoral coup of November 3, 2020.

There are hundreds of such cases to choose from, all of them studies in police state brutality,  prosecutorial madness and lives and families and businesses turned to ruin by a regime bent on eradicating political opposition.

Today's case is that of Thomas Caldwell, a decorated, twenty-year military veteran with no prior arrests.

The parallels between the Terror of 1782 and the J6 Terror of 2022 are strong, but the main point of my recent discussions is to reframe the modern-day protagonists: namely, we are the upholders of the Constitution and they are the insurrectionists. 

Audrey Russo and I discuss here.

My latest interview with Hearts of Oak is here.   

Rep. Scott Perry: “This morning, while traveling with my family, 3 FBI agents visited me and seized my cell phone,” the Pennsylvania Republican said in a statement issued through his office. “They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish.”

This sinister turn of events  -- seizing the phone of an elected Representative and leading member of the opposition party --  is every bit as outrageous as the FBI raid on President Trump's home. Maybe it is even worse, another notch in the Gestapo-ization of the federal police.

Apprehending the Congressman while he was vacationing with his family is nothing less than state intimidation of the political oppisition. How is it not also a violation of Rep. Perry's Fourth Amendment rights?

On the heels of the Trump raid this is more federal aggression...

It so happens that shortly before President Trump announced Mar-A-Lago had been raided (and the DOJ had no comment), I posted a Patreon video linking actions and personalities of the early days of the Great Terror of the French Revolution with actions and personalities of the electoral coup of November 3- January 6 and the 20 months that have followed since.

I stopped my historical comparison with the November 1792 debate over whether to put Louis XVI on trial, but I may have to follow up soon.

What country is this?

A message from President Trump:

These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level...

Thought of the day, courtesy Vladimir Bukovsky, from his stunning 1979 autobiography, To Build a Castle: My Life as a Dissenter:

Truly, we were born to make Kafka live.

Every January Sixer should read this book not only to be inspired, but also, and at least as important, to learn to understand the psychology of captors and prisoners alike, along with the dissident's best strategies to use against our American KGB.

Nicole Reffitt has a rare gift. She can channel fire through poise. Nineteen months after her husband Guy Reffitt's arrest, five months after his conviction, moments after enduring his outrageously harsh sentencing hearing  -- seven-plus years for not committing any act of violence and not entering the Capitol -- Mrs. Reffitt coolly and pointedly took on the carping, snarking DC media.

And so the Deep State continues to mete out prison terms for Americans who were rightfully distraught over its assault on the People's Will in the 2020 Presidential Election, only to be set up and entrapped into becoming Reichstag Fire / "Who Killed Kirov?" patsies for the entrenchment of the illegitimate regime.

Julie Kelly summed it up this way:
