It Was NOT Only Russia....

Finally, something which makes sense in the "Who Started This?" question.

 ...Stephen Kinzer tells this long-hidden story. Beginning in the refugee camps of postwar Europe, where CIA officers recruited their first Ukrainian agents, it follows generations of rebels, exiles, traitors, and covert operatives through decades of clandestine missions. Although nearly all of the guerrilla warriors that the CIA sent into Ukraine were captured or killed, it never gave up. From the late 1940s through the end of the Cold War, American leaders saw Ukrainians as their most effective weapon against Moscow. They continued to press that strategy after Ukraine’s independence and the eastward expansion of the US-dominated NATO alliance. ...

I always thought it was a bit odd that my college Russian professor was Ukrainian with very good, almost un-accented, English.  Not strange enough to ask a lot of questions, but not the norm.

Maybe his history was far more exciting than being a bi-(tri-?)-lingual scholar, eh? 

"Buck Throckmorton" Nods. Odd....

Throckmorton is generally reliable.  Perhaps this error is an accident.

 Although the inflation-adjusted price of gasoline in America is virtually unchanged over the past two decades, it is higher than where it was before the flow of Iranian oil was cut off to global markets. Also contributing to the problem of elevated fuel prices is the lack of refining capacity in the United States. This is especially true regarding diesel.

Actually, the US is the world's LARGEST exporter of diesel.  This is a sign that the US' diesel supplies are just fine, thankyouverymuch.

GKC On "Connected Appliances"

 "Hook it up to the internet," they said.  "It will make life easy!!", they said.

 The freezer cyberattacks we saw last month how freezers in France, as well as in some U.S. military base dining facilities were hacked, resulting in food spoilage. Now, the same thing has happened in Europe, in Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg and Estonia. The hackers didn't just turn the freezers off; they turned them up, making the freezers into ovens, with the result being a great deal of food spoiled....

Whoops!  Maybe that "Hook every. damn. thing. to the 'net!" is not a good idea.

You see, The Moderns have forgotten GKChesterton's maxim:

...There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.” ...

In the instant case, The Moderns chose not to put up a fence in the first damn place.

These are the same people who demanded that you take The Vaxx.  

The outcome(s) were predictable.

 

Globalists Continue Their Revolt in Poland. Next? USA

 The European Union is a One-World-Government outfit, advised by the US CIA, financed by imposing taxes on its members, and bent on imposing its Leftist will on all its members.

Thus, the Revolt in Poland.

 ...Poland’s pro-EU Prime Minister reportedly attempted a judicial coup by suspending the top justice of the Constitutional Tribunal, while the president was 35,000 ft in the air over Spain. A former Prime Minister warns of a civil war risk.

The EU is silent because Prime Minister Donald Tusk appears to be forcing their will on the Polish people....

"Forcing" is the word.  A convoy of German police cars invaded Poland just as the coup took place; apparently the Polish police forces and military are NOT co-operating with the Prime Minister's plot.  That's how the President of Poland managed to return to the country AND get in to the Polish Supreme Court to stop the coup--so far. 

This follows a number of other, similar, events across Eastern European members of the EU.  The Prime Minister of Slovenia lists recent examples of EU interference with popularly-elected governments and/or conservative politicians:

To annul presidential elections (Romania);

To abolish an informational program on the national RTV (Hungary);

To send police to the Constitutional Court (Poland);

Three weeks before the elections to send the leader of the polling party to prison (Slovenia);

To occupy the national RTV with police and replace the management (Poland);

To terminate the mandate of the national RTV leadership and carry out a purge of employees (Slovenia);

To send members of the previous government to prison without the possibility of defense (Hungary);

To grant nearly a million citizenships to illegal migrants through an expedited process (Spain);

To shut down a new Nuclear Power Plant and build a gas pipeline to Russia (Germany);

To tax carbon energy sources while simultaneously closing NPPs and relocating industry to countries with low environmental standards under the pretense that this is how we save the planet. An EU has emerged that must save itself from itself.”

Following his election victory (?), Brazil's Communist Lula attempted to imprison his opponent, who managed to flee the country despite revocation of his passport.  That's not an EU thing, but if you think it's not related, you are living in a very dark closet, indeed.

It is NOT coincidence that Sen. 'Seditious' Slotkin was in Europe a couple of weeks ago and emerged from there bragging about 'the playbook'.  It's the same script now in play in the US, mutatis mutandis, where elections will be questioned, riots will be fomented, and the Left--supported by the Stupid Stooge brigades--will attempt its takeover in the US.

You would be prudent to be watching your six intensely in the 10-14 days following the election. 

Rembert Weakland Knew His Saul Alinsky...

 During the height of the priest-predators scandal here in Milwaukee, Rembert Weakland employed a Saul Alinsky-written tactic.

..."DARVO (an acronym for "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as abusers or sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. Research indicates that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.

DARVO is a tactic used by a perpetrator to avoid accountability for their actions. As the acronym suggests, DARVO commonly involves these steps:

1. The perpetrator denies the harm or abuse ever took place.

2. When confronted with evidence, the perpetrator then attacks the person that they had harmed, or are still harming. The attacker may also attack the victim's family or friends.

3. Finally, the perpetrator claims that they were or are actually the victim in the situation, thus reversing the positions of victim and offender. It often involves not just playing the victim but also victim blaming."...Wiki, quoted at RedState

 Precisely what Weakland tried to pull off when he stated that the raped boy 'tempted' the priest-rapist.

Shouldn't surprise you or me that Weakland was a devoted disciple of Alinsky, should it?  But Catholic Bishops are not supposed to employ Alinsky-ite tactics, are they?

PBS' Lips Are Moving...

 ...and you know what THAT means, no?

 PBS has a new report out today explaining how it will be completely ‘normal’ if we don’t know the results of the midterms on election night....

Absolutely totally false.

20 years ago, extending backwards to at least 60 years ago, election results were broadcast on the 10 PM news on Election Day.  There were no electronic (fraud-enabling) devices used; it was a big honking machine/booth combo; you get in there, move the big lever to the right--closing the curtain behind you-- throw the mechanical switches to your preferred candidate or referendum answer, haul the Big Lever to the left, and you had voted.  The lever also opened the curtain behind you.

Then you watched the news, knew what happened, and retired.

Yes, it's a setup for a repeat of the "Biden Miracle" of '20.  In Wisconsin, that meant that the City of Milwaukee's results were not entered until it was clear how many votes had to be manufactured to put Biden over the top.  All other Wisconsin municipalities had reported, so it was a simple math question, and sure enough, Milwaukee's fraud vote totals pulled Biden out of the ditch.

Think PBS/NPR lied on purpose?

Doh. 

 

 

Reminder: Charlie Sykes Founded "The Bulwark"

We'll give Sykes credit where it's due:  he made a fortune wearing diametrically opposed skin-suits.

After raking in Large Dollars playing "conservative" on the radio, Sykes founded something called "The Bulwark."

Here's their take on individual liberty as applied to Elon Musk. (NSFW)

Sykes did leave Bulwark--or at least, his Wiki says so. 

How Democrats Lie

 This one's pretty easy to spot, especially if you lived through the Clinton era.

 ...According to Federal Election Commission records, a pro-Peltola super PAC called 49th State PAC paid Wingspan Strategies, a firm co-owned by Mr. Kurtz, about $87,000 this fall. The PAC said in a statement this week it had “never hired or paid Jerid Kurtz for performing any services.”...--NYT report quoted at FatElephant

Didja catch the lie?

The snakeskin-covered hand of Marc Elias is all over it.  A Peltola PAC paid "Wingspan Strategies" $87 large.  When the NYT asked about Jerid Kurtz--who OWNS "Wingspan"--the PAC stated that they "never hired or paid" him.

They paid "Wingspan," see?

It depends on the meaning of "Is," you see.

Seventy years ago, the Bar Association would have ejected a slime like Elias.  Might have done so only 60 years ago.  

Now?  Bar associations admire guys like Elias.  He's become a Model Lawyer.

Feh.
