Journal Journal: damn_registrars for the Trifecta 58

It's almost a left-handed form of poetry:

You certainly didn't accuse GWB of being a stand-in for his father, or of his father of being a stand-in for Reagan just because they brought a lot of people with from previous administrations.

Whataboutism

The only reason why your Dear Leader had possibly fewer people in his administration who were from previous administrations of his same party were because he was fond of having ass-kissing yes men underneath him. Had he been smart enough to hire intelligent and qualified people (which of course he is and was himself neither) he would have likely had an administration that looked a lot like that of GWB.

Non-sequitur

Naturally, hiring ass-kissing yes men for an administration is also a common trait of a fascist leader. Fascists like your Dear Leader often lack thick enough skin to handle being told they are wrong in any way, shape, or form.

Journal Journal: Blasphemy Against St. George Floyd 7

via d_r's favorite blog, PowerLine

Alpha News presents The Fall of Minneapolis. Alpha has just posted the crowdfunded film to Rumble (video below) so that it can be seen free of charge by the widest possible audience. The film is also accessible online at The Fall of Minneapolis. Viewers can contribute to support Alpha's work and help promote the film here. I attended the film's premiere at a showing for invited guests on Tuesday evening at a local theater. Hayley Feland reported on the premiere in this Alpha story. The film is based on Alpha News journalist Liz Collin's Amazon bestseller Theyâ(TM)re Lying: The Media, The Left, and The Death of George Floyd. The book and the film provide a contrarian take on the prevailing narrative surrounding George Floyd's death and the trial of Derek Chauvin as well as a powerful portrait of the consequences for Minneapolis.

I understand that contradicting a Holy Narrative this way makes me, somehow, personally culpable for every bad thing that ever happened to anyone with relatively more skin pigment than I, if I have understood the Doctrine of Equity correctly. If only I could have cared less, I suppose.

Sardonic humor aside, George Floyd's death is tragic. The ripple effects, in my opinion, have piled evil upon tragedy, and have not fully run their course. The country badly needs reform from the individual heart on outward.

Journal Journal: "a Far-Right Movement to Gut the Constitution" 46

Inside Mike Johnson's Ties to a Far-Right Movement to Gut the Constitution

For the last 10 years, the "Convention of States" movement has sought to remake the Constitution and force a tea party vision of the framers' intent upon America. This group wants to wholesale rewrite wide swaths of the U.S. Constitution in one fell swoop. In the process, they hope to do away with regulatory agencies like the FDA and the CDC, virtually eliminate the federal government's ability to borrow money, and empower state legislatures to override federal law.

Now, fustakrakitch rightly blames the voters for the collapse of everything around us, but goes Full Bircher at the idea of those voters supporting a Convention of States

I endorse the COS as the only likely shot at improvement. If we can "just add a variable" (as fustakrakitch put it) The Powers That Be variable isn't going to accept any sort of reform.

What's needed is some analysis. The original, agrarian, island nation Constitution of 1787 is like a local machine script in your tool of choice that was put in production and has simply become swamped. The basic ideas, as Amended, are largely sound, but the feedback loops that should keep it stabilized were removed a century back by Woodrow, and the system has gone unstable.

Congress doesn't actually legislate; the Executive and its agencies (alphabet organizations especially) run amok and essentially unchecked; the sclerotic SCOTUS is awash in Commie fools and trying not to get shot for making feeble attempts to preserve the Constitution.

Mike Johnson seems like a straight shooter, but may prove too little, too late. We'll see. America can be great again, but there is much Commie folly that needs to be puked out to get the country back on course, and the Eminence Orange cannot be the only means of getting there.

Journal Journal: Dude, Zombie Joe is barely alive! 17

I think you've beaten that silly GOP-endorsed refrain heavily enough. It doesn't match up to reality. You might as well go back to your old "president potted plant" bit instead, it makes more sense. Just because he doesn't say something stupid enough to make the front page of every newspaper every day - like your own Dear Leader - doesn't mean he's "barely alive". In several important metrics he is in better physical health than your Dear Leader.

Journal Journal: The Slide Into Totalitarianism Is Scary 69

Wow, the eagerness to embrace Correct Thought, where "liberals" used to cling to a benefit of the doubt, is worrisome.

One can only surmise that totalitarian states in prior centuries had similar non-inquisitive cheerleaders.

Global warming/climate change/; elections; police tragedy; international conflict: the willingness to fellate the first Narrative provided by the Zampolit, without question, bodes poorly for recovering the Republic from the ongoing crash.

I need to keep you guys in prayer.

Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth

A major missed point here is Nemrut Dag, which affords a general answer to POCM: possibly the cart is before the horse here?

The arrival of a Messiah occurred in a singular place and time. The Nativity (and Gospel in general) is counter-intuitive to all standard political thought.

That didn't mean the advertising was limited to the Israelites, though.

Journal Journal: No. 4 Will Warm Fusty's Heart 22

https://www.activistpost.com/2016/01/9-ways-to-stop-cooperating-with-the-ruling-elites-control-system.html

4. Don't vote for any of the major political parties

By voting for one of these parties you're only giving your power away to help the ruling criminals' further advance their NWO agenda. Stop believing the Republican-Democrat paradigm; or, if you're in the UK, the Lib-Lab-Con sock puppet campaign shows backed and financed by T.H.E.Y (The Hierarchy Enslaving You).

It doesn't matter who gets voted in. They're all funded and backed by the ruling elite. So whoever wins, the politicians who get in office will only be there to serve their lords and masters the ruling elite instead of the wishes of we-the-people.

Yes, there are a growing number of people who know this, but many still don't fully understand. Any advantages of selecting one party over the other because of, say, a policy in your favor or to your advantage will only be a short-term payoff. In the end, if you vote for one of the major parties because of this then you'll only have to suffer the far greater long-term cost for having chosen the party with their connections to the ruling elite's agenda.

Well, that's good as far as it goes. But how are we precluding THEY from controlling, say, a JFKjr?

The improved answer is to seize control at the local level. Fair enough.

But at that point, one discovers that the system runs backward; the money is borrowed and comes down the food chain, rather than having local taxes fund matters and move up the food chain to fund the government.

Money, we know, is mostly fungible with power. I'd fall short of directly equating them, but that amounts to a quibble.

The rest of The Famous Article is interesting and worth discussion as well.

Journal Journal: "it is serving very well under the circumstances" 30

I need to frame this one from fustakrakitch, emphasis mine:

The constitution is the procedural manual for the government, "We the People" are the authority, government exists to serve as the voice of "We the People". And it is serving very well under the circumstances. It is a perfect reflection of our own apathy. And you remain in denial of that juicy little fact.

I would argue that Congress and the Executive branches have been swamped by the organizational effects of the last century into a vast, un-elected bureaucratic mass. You can attach pejorative labels if needful; I'm only after the simple, plain, non-partisan, observable point. The SCOTUS teeters on the brink.

Fustakrakitch mostly seems to troll on here. I get that. And maybe with enough yeomanwork and squinting, I can even track "very well under the circumstances". But just chalking it up to "apathy" is zooming out into the stratosphere.

Stay beautiful, Fusty.

Journal Journal: Unexpectedly, A Funding Deadline Just Totally Snuck Up On The Republicans 20

How can the Daily Kos say this?

Republican incompetence sets the stage for a Sunday government shutdown

Set aside the details of which chamber of Congress is working on which bill for a minute--we'll get to them next. The single basic fact everyone needs to understand is that the federal government will shut down this weekend when the deadline to fund it is missed, and House Republicans are the reason for that.

Those Republicans were really going to get around to doing their fundamental job Real Soon Now. They just totally got distracted by watching Barbie all Summer. Couldn't concentrate. Honest.

Less cheekily, if they left me in charge, I'd put down a simple rule: if Congress doesn't do it's basic job on time, then none of the dickheads and dickheadettes responsible can run for their current seat when next next up.

If these losers can't do the basics, our system should force us to find some officials who will.

Draconian? Sure, but if you want Grace, then talk to the Almighty.

And now, back to the carefully orchestrated farce that is our politics.

Journal Journal: Big, If True, But Thin On Facts 7

Everyone knows the DNC and activist groups will trigger their ballot fraud operations in 2024, the problem for them is they can only lift so much through the fraud itself.

Yes, it is possible for the metropolitan counties of Philadelphia (PA), Wayne (MI), Clark (NV), Fulton (GA), Racine (WI) and Maricopa/Pinal (AZ) to each generate between 300,000 and 500,000 fraudulent ballots. However, when contrast against the anticipated scale of the state loss, that might not be enough.

The democrats need a candidate who can lose at a much smaller statewide margin so that ballot fraud (absentee collection) in the corrupt counties can reach their goals. Biden is not that candidate.

That sets up the dynamic where Biden support within the group who will be responsible for covering his deficits has become tenuous. Remember, Eric Holder and the Chicago network organized the original ballot operation and tested it in California in 2018. The two weeks after election day 2018 showed 21 GOP win seats on the day of election, flip through the use of the post-election ballot counting. That midterm test in CA was then rolled out nationally in 2020.

The counties that must be relied upon to sway the election are nervous about the scale of lift they will be required to provide. Within that tenuous situation, the ever ego-driven Obama network cannot accept that level of risk. Hence, Obama strategically retreats.

At the same time, the DC intelligence apparatus that needs to pretend the election is legit and support the fraud, is applying pressure on Biden to exit.

The message from Main Justice, the DOJ-CRD and the DHS embeds is that too much fraud would be problematic to achieve.

Team Biden is fully aware of this dynamic, they need to close the gap--not defeat Trump--but close the election gap to a distance that can be successfully closed by the ballot harvesting and manipulation operations. That's the focus and impetus behind all of the Biden campaign operations; close the gap.

That breathless prose is quite the allegation: "The message from Main Justice, the DOJ-CRD and the DHS embeds is that too much fraud would be problematic to achieve." One is genuniely curious what traffic (if any) to which "Sundance" is privy that could be paraphrased to say that.

The thrust of the post, if you read it all, is that the DNC is worried that Trump may overwhelm the various rigging measures that were intended to keep Zombie Joe in office. (Not that I wish ill on the fellow, but I doubt that he lives another 14 months.)

I'm not actually sure any of this matters. Even if the Eminence Orange wins the primary (solid possibility), there are any number of other legal/medical shoes to drop. Stipulate that the Citrus Caesar wins the election and is inagurated again: what is the likelihood that the GOPatsies would lift finger #1 to bolster election integrity and curb mail-in ballots (an idea too stuck in foopid for even the French)? Low, I'd say. The Deep State doesn't give a French frigate's fo'c's'le for election integrity, and the peasantry having a say.

Journal Journal: I Blame the "Victim" 96

The Boebert scandal is something to behold. She has apparently laid some claim to Christianity and made a public apology for acting a trifle worldly.

The pressures of politics have apparently broken her marriage. Prioritizing family over power is among the chief reasons why so many qualified people run away, run VERY away, from public service.

May the Lord pour some grace upon the lady.
