Our Socialist Sick Government Across US is Indifferent to Failing Economy, Waste & Human Suffering


Cheap LED UV Lights Disinfect COVID: Low Tech Bully Govt Failing US Business

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Kelly OConnell —— Bio and Archives—December 21, 2020

INTRO: Israeli COVID UV LED Light Breakthrough: A new breakthrough from Israel establishes UV lights to disinfect areas from COVID. Further, using LED light sources, these inexpensive 185 nm bulbs are highly effective. It’s therefore troubling such an easy answer to safety wasn’t discovered by incredibly sophisticated states like NY and CA, but found by the tiny nation of  Israel.

Hemorrhaging Trillions: Now, do you believe our government  prefers mindlessly hemorrhaging trillions instead of investing in our nation’s businesses to create a virus safety net? Such leadership decisions aiding businesses would inject money into the construction industry and keep restaurants and other small shuttered businesses open, removing the necessity of giving cash to idled workers. It would also keep employees from depression and related drug use, and other negative outcomes. 

Safe Airplanes: Since these lights cannot be used directly on humans given their power, another related discovery could come in handy. Recently, the US Military tested airplanes and found “It’s almost impossible to get Covid on airplane:” 

A new military-led study unveiled Thursday shows there is a low risk for passengers traveling aboard large commercial aircraft to contract an airborne virus such as COVID-19—and it doesn’t matter where they sit on the airplane. Researchers concluded that because of sophisticated air particle filtration and ventilation systems on board—airborne particles within the cabin have a very short lifespan.

Combining LED & Sophisticated Airflow: It’s possible to combine these two elements – UV LED disinfectant lighting and sophisticated air filtration to make restaurants almost bulletproof against COVID. An air circulation system circulating air from table areas which filtered and exposed air to UV rays, then put it back into the eating area would be splendid. It would be a better use of trillions of dollars instead of simply paying employees not to work.

It’s Already Being Done: If America gets numerous companies to simultaneously create vaccines in a few months, surely building a functional disinfectant air system in most businesses isn’t impossible. Further, these businesses will stay open, paying salaries and taxes. 

In fact, the Miami Dolphins already designed such an air system.

UV-C LED maker Crystal created a ceiling-mounted air circulation system to deactivate the coronavirus in occupied rooms. The unit is an ambient lighting troffer from Healthe Inc, equipped with air filtration mechanisms. Healthe has installed about forty 2×2-ft fixtures into dropped ceilings inside the locker room and other facilities for the Miami Dolphins football team in Miami Gardens, FL.

Failed Leadership: Leaders across America have directed us towards economic suicide in the name of survival. So, where are the compassionate and principled civil leaders who actually care about failed businesses, suffering unemployed workers and heart-rending, family shattering bankruptcies? These casual shutdowns and mindless parroting of other state’s rules is the worst kind of “leading.”

One Answer to All Problems? Many businesses will fail these repeated shutdowns because leftist mayors or governors worship a  bureaucratic model claiming there is one answer to all complex problems. Therefore, all leaders must line up and follow. Instead, where are creative and gutsy citizen-leaders willing to oppose the stupid and avoidable destruction of our economy? The anti-Capitalist, anti-normal-human grudge is truly jaw-dropping.  Is there anything more depressing than leadership by those convinced we are not important enough to expect smart and passionate advocacy?

CONCLUSION: Please don’t pretend government investment in private business saving untold jobs is the worst choice. If our government is hellbent on pouring cash across America, it’s better than spending TRILLIONS  trying to replace all salaries. Please vote for independent-minded and principled leaders who use common sense in directing our populace towards a better world – not destroying everything good in the name of angry Marxist fantasies.

Leftist Democracy is Suffocating


When this leftist brand of “democracy” crashes and burns, the politicians et al, who enabled it, will be long gone and dust in the ground but the globalist citizens, formerly Americans, will suffer the consequences for generations

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh —— Bio and Archives—December 21, 2020

While attending school in the socialist republic paradise ruled by the Communist Party, the curriculum was determined by the communist educators and activists in good standing with the party. As students, if we tried to question the exact narrative printed in the books or repeated by teachers, we were usually told, “democracy has gone to your heads,” how dare you question the wisdom of the party?

This was not unlike what is happening today in American colleges and universities where divergent opinions from the progressive philosophy are not allowed to exist. Yet the same academics shout from the rooftops that non-leftists are endangering “democracy” by their mere existence.

The word “democracy” means different things for different people, depending on their ideology. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines democracy as “government by the people, rule of the majority, a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system or representation usually involving periodically held free elections.”

Blaming capitalism for the ills created by the left is something that the brainwashed useful idiots protesting in the streets and on campuses will never understand

Would that be “free elections” like the most recent presidential election when a new president-elect emerged, frail, sickly, and unable to gather more than 30 people to his rallies, aided and abetted by fraudulent mail-in ballots, “computer glitches” which added hundreds of thousands of new votes to his count in the middle of the night, opposition ballots disposed of in dumpsters, and boxes of favorable ballots delivered in the middle of the night in unmarked vans?

As I clearly recall, we had “democracy” in name only in socialism, under the rule of the Communist Party, it was their way or the gulag.

Leftists invoke “democracy” every time they want to achieve their goals which are usually not good for the American people. The left are really adept at accusing the other side of what they are doing, hijacking the concept of “democracy” to suit their globalist, anti-American agenda.

Blaming capitalism for the ills created by the left is something that the brainwashed useful idiots protesting in the streets and on campuses will never understand because they have lost contact, or never had it in the first place, with reality and historical facts.

“Empowering workers” and “worker power” have been tried before in the twentieth century with disastrous results in countries like USSR, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, China, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, North Korea, Cuba, and many others ruled by the Communist Party.

Social justice, racial justice, jobs with justice, fake systemic racism, fake white privilege have become the rallying cry and excuse to destroy capitalism and anyone who stands in their way of bringing back communism, more destructive than ever and on a global scale.

The left is “radically reimagining and redefining” the mission and goals of societies and families across the globe and nobody will stand in their way. Sarcastically stated, what can possibly be more “democratic” than that? Erase borders, education, faith, family, history, nationality, confiscate wealth and redistribute it from producers to welfare recipients, and you have the Democratic Socialism envisioned by American Democrats.

The Democratic Socialism the left is building and advocating in the twenty-first century will drive us exactly in the direction of an “increasingly unstable, undemocratic, unequal, and unsustainable world” they are so busy criticizing capitalism for.

And the future of American workers will be quite bleak as the left pretends to protect them with clever rhetoric, while importing more and more illegal workers into the U.S. and outsourcing more well-paid and skilled American jobs to foreign guest workers who work for a fraction of the pay.

Leftists take pride in making their followers believe that their brand of “democracy” pays workers living wages for doing precious little and gives them free everything that makes life enjoyable.

The leftist brand of “democracy” is suffocating our formerly free society

The “democracy” I experienced under socialism was quite oppressive and the Party paid their workers, the infamous proletariat, barely survivable wages, with no way to improve one’s station in life or their families’ financial future.

The Democratic Socialists of America, founded in 1982, had about eight thousand converts by 1989. Today claims are made that 57 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism and 37 percent of Americans have a positive view of socialism. If you are to believe such Gallup polls, of the 252 million voting-age Americans, 93 million (17 and older) view socialism in a rose-colored glass light.

In a short period of time, the United States moved from America-loving to an America-hating field primed for socialism and global communism.

What enabled such a significant change? The main culprits seem to be the academic halls of powerful indoctrination, Hollywood, billionaire donations to political non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the misinformation of the main stream media fed gradually over decades by Jimmy Carter’s Department of (mis)Education.

Biden Likely to Support Vile Anti-Israel UN Security Council Resolution 2334


UN Security Council Resolution 2334

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Joseph A. Klein, CFP United Nations Columnist —— Bio and Archives—December 21, 2020

On December 23, 2016, the Obama administration broke with the longstanding practice of both Democratic and Republican administrations to protect Israel from one-sided United Nations resolutions. The Obama administration abstained, rather than veto, UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which declared that the establishment of settlements by Israel has “no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law.” The resolution demanded that “Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.”  When it came to the resolution’s call to prevent “acts of terror” and “to refrain from provocative actions, incitement and inflammatory rhetoric,” the resolution referred elliptically to “both parties.”

Resolution 2334 remains in effect to this day. However, despite what the resolution’s supporters continuously assert, it is not legally binding under the UN Charter because it was not passed under the provisions of Chapter VII of the Charter. The resolution is not self-enforcing and would require a further resolution to impose sanctions or other punitive measures, which the Trump administration would surely have vetoed.

The question now is whether President-elect Joe Biden will return to the Obama-Biden administration’s support of the anti-Israel resolution and its distancing from our closest ally in the Middle East. According to a report in the Jerusalem Post, Biden was involved in getting Ukraine, then a member of the Security Council, to vote for Resolution 2334 in 2016. We do not know if then-Vice President Biden was simply carrying out the directions of his boss Barack Obama or acting also on his own beliefs. In any case, we can expect the Biden administration to be under intense pressure from Israel-haters in the so-called “international community” and the Democrat progressive base in the United States to go along with sanctions against Israel for violating Resolution 2334’s edict against Israeli settlements.

Biden will also be under pressure from America’s European allies to reverse the Trump administration’s punitive actions against the highly politicized International Criminal Court (ICC), which declared last year that it would launch “a full investigation” into alleged war crimes committed in Palestinian territories by Israeli forces. The ICC is also undertaking a war crimes probe into U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan, which led to actions taken by the Trump administration against ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and another senior court official.

“The International Criminal Court is facing persistent external challenges and the European Union stands firm against all attempts to undermine the international system of criminal justice by hindering the work of its core institutions,” Peter Stano, spokesman for EU diplomatic chief Josep Borrell, told reporters. “We are committed to strengthen our support to the ICC because this is key factor in fighting against impunity. We are standing by the ICC and we are not happy to see steps which are going against the activities of the ICC.”

Biden’s reverence for multilateral institutions and his eagerness to please our European allies make it likely that he will buckle.

Nickolay Mladenov, the UN’s Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, briefed the Security Council on December 21st regarding recent events impacting the implementation of Resolution 2334. His briefing focused on Israeli actions that he said violated Resolution 2334 and international law, coupled with a plea for more “humanitarian” aid for the Palestinians.

“I remain deeply troubled by continued Israeli settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem,” Mladenov said. “Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, constitute a flagrant violation of United Nations resolutions and international law. Settlements entrench Israel’s occupation and undermine the prospect of achieving a two-State solution. The advancement of all settlement activity must cease immediately.”

Madenov deplored violence against Palestinian “civilians,” allegedly perpetrated by Israeli military forces and settlers. Mladenov devoted just one paragraph in his prepared remarks calling out Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad by name for their “indiscriminate launching of rockets and mortars towards Israeli civilian population centers.” While naming these terrorist groups specifically was more than Resolution 2334 itself did, Mladenov later in his remarks urged Israel to lift the closures completely that have restricted the movement of goods and people to and from Gaza for security reasons. “It remains vital to also ease dual-use restrictions for imports into the Gaza Strip,” Mladenov said. It is vital only for Hamas, which would exploit such dual-use imports to further build up its military weaponry and infrastructure.

Mladenov’s brief discussion of the “wider peace process” had a glaring omission. He left out the historic peace agreements reached between Israel and four Arab countries – United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Kelly Craft, however, made these agreements the center piece of her remarks to the Security Council. “In less than four months, four states have opened diplomatic relations with Israel, paving the way for still more engagement that will help bring about the prosperity envisioned under President Trump’s peace plan,” Ambassador Craft said. “For decades we…had seen little progress towards resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as parties continued to reflexively resort to same old, tired rhetoric and hardened positions. Today, we instead see practical, real examples that genuine economic and cultural ties are being formed. As a result, all of us here should think long and hard about what else we may have missed or misinterpreted over the years.”

Joe Biden’s choice to serve as his Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, has said that the Biden administration would continue to support Israel and stand up for the Jewish State at the United Nations. Biden has said that he would not use the continued provision of U.S. military aid as leverage to pressure Israel on policy issues. When Blinken was asked about whether it was possible that the Biden administration would use such leverage specifically in relation to potential Israeli annexation of portions of the West Bank, he said no. Although Biden opposes annexation, Blinken claimed that Biden “would not tie our military assistance to Israel to any political decisions that it makes.”

That’s certainly good news for Israeli officials to hear. Indeed, Israelis are welcoming his selection as the next Secretary of State. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Sooner or later, Biden’s impulse to go along to get along, including his intention to rejoin the disastrous nuclear deal with Iran, will clash with his professed support for Israel. And the latter will likely give way if another resolution comes up for a vote in the UN Security Council to enforce Resolution 2334’s prohibition of Israeli settlements, including economic sanctions. Moreover, there is nothing to indicate in the long foreign diplomacy record of Biden’s choice to serve as his administration’s ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, that she will stand up for Israel at the UN in the mold of Ambassadors Kelly Craft, Nikki Haley and Jeane Kirkpatrick.

What is Klaus Schwab Really About?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Dec 22, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

A lot of people are starting to feel as if Klaus Schwab is the anti-Christ. He is advocating that no one should buy or sell without a digital health certificate, and he advocates trans-humanism while insisting on lockdowns of even religion. I don’t know about being the anti-Christ, but he is a very sick and highly dangerous man. Any world leader who travels to his conferences should be thrown out of office.

What Schwab is doing is trying to take over the world, not by any democratic process, but by advocating tyranny. I have stated many times that the Founding Fathers did not understand Roman history. They assumed that Julius Caesar was some evil dictator and Cato with Cicero were the good guys. Unfortunately, they were not fully informed, for had they been informed, they would NEVER have advocated a Republic. Every Republic in history has turned into an oligarchy.

Schwab has sent his new Communist 3.0 Manifesto to every world leader and every governor/premier of every state and province around the world. He has been exploiting the danger of Republics, for they can promise you anything to get elected and then do exactly the opposite. This is what a “representative” form of government is all about. The Founding Fathers were not fully aware that the Roman Senate was never “elected” by the people. Senators were only the aristocrats — never the plebs. There was no right to vote afforded to the people and this is precisely where we find ourselves once again. Tell us anything, and do precisely the opposite.

Did Biden Get a Real Vaccine or Water?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 22, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Do you think Biden really got the vaccine?

ANSWER: Absolutely no way. Aside from the fact that he is too old and in the danger zone for vaccines anyhow, there are far too many people who have serious reactions to the vaccine. It has been widespread and serious enough to warrant an investigation. The FDA has opened a formal investigation of these allergic reactions to Pfizer vaccine reported in multiple states as well as in Britain.

Bill Gates has himself admitted that if he vaccinates the entire world, a small percentage will die from the allergic reaction – 700,000 people to be exact. Now ask yourself this. Would they EVER risk really giving a vaccine to Biden or ANY OTHER high profile person staging this before the cameras? The answer is no way! If Biden died that would be the end of their program. They could NEVER afford that to happen.

It’s called risk management.

Now They Censor Anyone Explaining the Great Reset of Schwab


Armstrong Economics Blog/Revolution Re-Posted Dec 22, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

What Is The Great Reset? Explaining the World Economic Forum’s Controversial Initiative.

YouTube has censored anything explaining what Agenda 2030 is all about. These individuals are part of the conspiracy to end capitalism, and they are now advocating Communism 3.0 intermixed with Feudalism. First, it was COVID, then Trump; now it is anything that explains the Great Reset, which is a publicly declared agenda to which Trudeau has openly committed Canada to follow. Trudeau will NEVER tell the people the truth.

These people act like the worse tyrants in history. They will eliminate elections and impose George Soros’ one-world government with the United Nations at the helm.

Anyone who still refuses to believe the election was rigged simply because they hate Trump, well, you better start paying attention to the people who convinced you to hate Trump, for they have a far worse future in mind for you. The problem is simple. They know that the longer they can prevent people from rising up, the more small businesses will be destroyed, and small businesses employ 70% of the civil workforce. You better wake up, for your children are being condemned, and these people will not allow you to know their evil intentions. These people are committing outright treason against the United States and free society.

Twitter is the most disgustingly corrupt of all. Dorsey is lucky I am not president, for I would have sent the military in and seized his company as Truman did during the strikes under National Security. Two weeks before the election Twitter changed how you retweet because they obviously didn’t want certain things to go viral. Now that they got the political result they wanted, so low and behold, they’re going back to the old way. Dorsey is an absolute vile individual who has conspired against the United States and we will see Twitter make every effort to push Schwab’s takeover of the world. Dorsey and Zuckerger should go to prison where they will enjoy “equality” and everyone gets the same – for life. Here we have these two individuals doing EXACTLY what they accused Russia of doing – influencing the US election.

Sean Spicer Interviews Rudy Giuliani on Latest Developments and Legal Election Processes, Two Groups Have Distinct Approaches


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 21, 2020 by Sundance

There has been considerable debate and discussion about the next steps for President Trump in contesting the election outcome.  According to media reporting on the discussions it appears the White House is listening to several opinions including a group containing Sidney Powell (outside campaign) and a group led by Rudy Giuliani (inside campaign).

Despite the common objective amid the two groups, there have been some stories written by media intended to diminish and/or marginalize the ongoing effort.  In this interview with Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s campaign lawyer outlines the formal approach underway by the inside campaign team. [The audio/visual isn’t great but it works]

In addition to the information provided by Giuliani, there are three distinct data-points that could align in favor of supporting President Trump’s ongoing effort:

  1.  Acceptance by the Supreme Court of the request by the Trump campaign to hear arguments against the Pennsylvania election outcome.
  2.  A pending DNI report by John Ratcliffe outlining foreign influence in the election.
  3.  The outcome of the Georgia run-off election on January 5th.

If the Supreme Court agrees to hear the campaign case; and if the DNI report can show foreign interference connection to the election; and if the Georgia run-off holds momentum toward the GOP; then it is more likely a Senator will object on January 6th to the certification of the electors and request a roll-call vote in the House and Senate.

These three positive outcomes would align with congressional meetings reported today within the White House.

Everything above tracks with the known direction of the preferred “inside group”, and their advice toward President Trump.

However, the independent “outside group” containing: Attorney Sidney Powell, Attorney Lin Wood, Lt. General Michael Flynn, and now former CEO Patrick Byrne, appear to be advising for a more forceful approach with use of the 2018 executive order safeguarding against foreign interference in the election.

The narrative engineering media have accused the outside group of attempting to stimulate interest in use of the U.S. military via the Insurrection Act.

(Politico) […] But that hasn’t stopped the act from becoming a buzzword and cure-all for prominent MAGA figures like Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, two prominent pro-Trump attorneys leading efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and even one North Carolina state lawmaker. Others like Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser who was recently pardoned for lying to the FBI, have made adjacent calls for Trump to impose martial law.

The ideas have circulated in pro-Trump outlets and were being discussed over the weekend among the thousands of MAGA protesters who descended on state capitols and the Supreme Court to falsely claim Trump had won the election. (more)

In essence the DC media is attempting to isolate, ridicule and marginalize the entire effort of both groups by weaponizing a dictator Trump narrative open to use of the military via the Insurrection Act or Martial Law.

Into this fray any meeting with President Trump by the outside group is being weaponized by anti-Trump media.   President Trump was pushing back against this narrative effort by media over the weekend:

It is important to remember the White House counsel would be providing legal advice from the position of “The Office of the Presidency.”  The White House counsel’s job is to uphold the concentric circles of legal protection that surround President Trump or any U.S. President.  There are some topics of conversation that White House counsel would not allow to take place inside the oval office.

The distinction between White House counsel (Pat Cipollone) and Trump Campaign counsel (Rudy Giuliani) is the former looks out for the “office” while the latter looks out for the political interests.  The distinctions are narrow, but the distinctions are very real.

The difference between the two sets of advisors is a distinction the media enjoy exploiting to give the appearance of division.  This creates friction and leads to turmoil.  The DC media know this game well, and any time there is a republican president in office they use this marginalization and isolation narrative to stir up trouble.

As a direct outcome The New York Times published an article on Saturday morning attempting to create division and pushing a narrative intended to create trouble amid two aligned groups: Inside Campaign group and Outside Campaign group.

NEW YORK TIMES – President Trump on Friday discussed making Sidney Powell, who as a lawyer for his campaign team unleashed a series of conspiracy theories about a Venezuelan plot to rig voting machines in the United States, a special counsel investigating voter fraud, according to two people briefed on the discussion.

It was unclear if Mr. Trump will move ahead with such a plan.

Most of his advisers opposed the idea, two of the people briefed on the discussion said, including Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer, who in recent days sought to have the Department of Homeland Security join the campaign’s efforts to overturn Mr. Trump’s loss in the election. (more)

The larger goal by DC media is to isolate President Trump by fracturing his base of support.  The outside group (Powell, Wood, Flynn, Byrne) are fighting a different type of confrontational battle, while the inside group (Giuliani, Ellis et al) are attempting to bridge their legal effort with congressional and political support.

[NOTE: White House counsel is between both groups protecting “The Office”]

Obviously the MAGA community supports both approaches. However, to no-one’s surprise the approach of the more confrontational outside group feeds a yearning for justice amid a 2020 election outcome that is filled with evidence of fraud and injustice.

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, one of the outside group, Patrick Byrne, went on Twitter on Sunday and kicked-up a hornets nest of division which plays directly into the hands of the DC media who thrive on the division narrative.

While Mr. Byrne may have the best intentions in mind, saying President Trump is “lied to” by his advisors is not the best approach.  Byrne may believe the confrontational strategy of the outside group is a better plan, and he may forcefully advocate for that approach, but going public with the content of an oval office meeting is never a good idea.

The content or context of a meeting in the Oval Office should always be kept private, and outlining conflict for the purpose of position advocacy never ends well.

The public airing of internal debate (or conflict) only leads to the principle officer (President Trump) having to draw distinct lines amid participants.  Internal conflict made public only fuels the division narrative.

If Patrick Byrne feels the president is not being served by his advisors, apparently he had four-and-a-half hours to make that exact point.  There is no value in taking an antagonistic approach public, and again it only feeds division…. which is what the media are seeking to exploit.

The conflict narrative is worsened by Mr. Byrne going onto Newsmax [SEE HERE] and podcasts [SEE HERE] to keep pushing his message that President Trump is not being served…. Byrne also gave interviews to Epoch Times:https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-1&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1341203384351731713&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Ftheconservativetreehouse.com%2F2020%2F12%2F21%2Fsean-spicer-interviews-rudy-giuliani-on-latest-developments-and-legal-election-processes-two-groups-have-distinct-approaches%2F&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px

At a certain point enough purposeful animosity is simply enough.  No doubt the most gleeful group watching Byrne at work are the same media who can take a backseat and appreciate the division of President Trump’s base of support.

There is a certain predictability to all of this:

  • Wednesday Night – Michael Flynn recommended (Newsmax) impounding Dominion machines by order of President Trump; and noted military possibilities.
  • Thursday – The DC media stirred up the controversy around the insurrection act by painting Trump supporters as unstable.  Joint Chief’s General Milley said the military would not engage in any political effort.
  • Friday – Sidney Powell and Patrick Byrne meet with President Trump in the Oval Office.
  • Saturday – The New York Times framed the Powell/Byrne meeting as a radical effort to remain president.
  • Saturday night – President Trump pushed-back against the Martial Law narrative.
  • Sunday Patrick Byrne criticizes the White House advisory group, President Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and the office of White House counsel.

Notice the fuel for division is from the outside group. What happens next is predictable:

  • Monday (tonight) sensing the president is being boxed into a division narrative; which ultimately weakens him and fractures the base of support; President Trump’s campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani has no other option other than to push back against Sidney Powell and Patrick Byrne.

The bottom line is people within the MAGA community must resist the urge to fracture and divide based on differing opinion of approaches.  Everyone wants the same goal and nerves are on edge among patriots who have poured their heart and soul into supporting President Trump amid the face of four years of overwhelming adversity.

President Trump loves this country and is not a quitter amid adversity.  No-one loves this nation more than President Trump and his base of supporters. Everyone wants the best possible outcome.

Bottom line: Let Trump be Trump!

House Voting Today on 5,600 Page Pork-Filled COVID Package No-One Has Read, McConnell Wants Unanimous Consent…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 21, 2020 by Sundance

Good grief the UniParty is in full swing and they don’t even care what our opinion is about this massive $2.5 TRILLION (approximated because it hasn’t been scored) COVID/Omnibus spending bill that totals over 5,600 pages.  [LINK TO BILL]

The actual 5,600 page bill wasn’t populated for public review until shortly after noon this afternoon and staff had an issue putting it on-line.  Incredibly, and in keeping with the previous approach preferred by congress, the House plans on voting on this bill today; and Mitch McConnell wants the Senate to pass it by unanimous consent (no recorded votes).

My rough review shows an approximately 70/30 split on the $900+ billion COVID package.  Approximately 30 percent +/- of the bill will actually help working class families and businesses on Main Street.  Approximately 70 percent of the bill will go to political donors, special interests, environmental lobbyists, K-Street groups who wrote the bill, foreign interests, Wall Street and corporate beneficiaries.  [Scour the Bill Here]https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-1&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1341078170754310144&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Ftheconservativetreehouse.com%2F2020%2F12%2F21%2Fhouse-voting-today-on-5600-page-pork-filled-covid-package-no-one-has-read-mcconnell-wants-unanimous-consent%2F&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550pxhttps://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-2&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1341094756361924608&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Ftheconservativetreehouse.com%2F2020%2F12%2F21%2Fhouse-voting-today-on-5600-page-pork-filled-covid-package-no-one-has-read-mcconnell-wants-unanimous-consent%2F&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550pxhttps://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-3&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1341119170671501312&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Ftheconservativetreehouse.com%2F2020%2F12%2F21%2Fhouse-voting-today-on-5600-page-pork-filled-covid-package-no-one-has-read-mcconnell-wants-unanimous-consent%2F&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550pxhttps://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-4&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1341117320572366854&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Ftheconservativetreehouse.com%2F2020%2F12%2F21%2Fhouse-voting-today-on-5600-page-pork-filled-covid-package-no-one-has-read-mcconnell-wants-unanimous-consent%2F&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550pxhttps://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-5&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1341104220380917762&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Ftheconservativetreehouse.com%2F2020%2F12%2F21%2Fhouse-voting-today-on-5600-page-pork-filled-covid-package-no-one-has-read-mcconnell-wants-unanimous-consent%2F&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px

(Via AP) The total price tag of the bill clocks in at at least $2 trillion, but the no one yet knows the bill’s final cost. That’s because the legislation was introduced just hours before the expected votes, Congress’s nonpartisan scorekeeper, the Joint Committee on Taxation, won’t have time to publish an estimate of the total of all the credits, deductions, and special preferences before the bill likely becomes law, according to Bloomberg News.

In addition to the many provisions on COVID-19 relief, the behemoth bill packages a wide variety of measures big and small, including a human rights bill focused on Tibet, the establishment of two new Smithsonian museums, a provision on “doping” in horse racing, and a measure that seeks to protect patients from surprise medical bills. The bill also funds the federal government through Sept. 30 of next year.

The House is expected to vote on the legislation later Monday before it heads to the Senate, where Senate leaders hope to pass it by unanimous consent. President Trump has indicated he’ll sign the bill. (LINK)

AG Bill Barr Says He Will Not Appoint Special Counsel to Investigate The 2020 Election Fraud or Hunter Biden’s Foreign Deals Selling Influence


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 21, 2020 by Sundance

In what the media is calling AG Bill Barr’s final official duty while in office, AG Bill Barr announced today he will not be appointing a special counsel to look into accusations of fraud in the 2020 election; and he will not be appointing a special counsel to look into Hunter Biden’s financial -influence selling – entanglements with foreign governments.

“I have not seen a reason to appoint a special counsel and I have no plan to do so before I leave.”

The Attorney General used a press conference announcing charges against the bomb-maker in the 1988 Lockerbie terrorist attack on Pan-Am 103 to answer questions from the media about the election and the Biden controversy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr used his final public appearance to undercut President Donald Trump on multiple fronts Monday, saying he saw no reason to appoint a special counsel to look into the president’s claims about the 2020 election or to name one for the tax investigation of President-elect Joe Biden’s son.

In the course of breaking with Trump on matters that have been consuming the president, Barr also reinforced the belief of federal officials that Russia was behind a massive hack of U.S. government agencies, not China as Trump had suggested.

[…] Barr said the Justice Department’s existing investigation into Hunter Biden’s financial dealings was “being handled responsibly and professionally.”  (more)

AG Bill Barr Announces New Charges Against Qaddafi Bomb Maker in Bombing of Pan AM Flight 103, Lockerbie Scotland


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 21, 2020 by Sundance

Today, Attorney General William Barr announced new charges against a former Libyan intelligence operative, Abu Agela Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi [DOJ Announcement] for his role in building the bomb that killed 270 individuals in the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on Dec. 21, 1988.  [Video and Transcript Below]

[Transcript] – On this day 32 years ago, December 21, 1988, at 7:03 p.m. local time, a bomb destroyed Pan Am Flight 103 as it flew 31,000 feet above Lockerbie, Scotland. The massive Boeing 747 plane, known as the “Clipper Maid of the Seas,” exploded and fell to the ground in countless pieces scattered across 840 square miles, nearly the entire width of Scotland.

The explosion killed all 259 people on board—243 passengers and 16 crew members, including 190 Americans. Falling debris claimed the lives of 11 Lockerbie residents on the ground, many of whom were in their homes and had just sat down for dinner.

The Lockerbie bombing remains the deadliest single terrorist attack in the history of the United Kingdom, and the second deadliest terrorist attack for Americans—surpassed only by the 9/11 attacks.

Immediately after the bombing, the FBI partnered with law enforcement agencies from Scotland to investigate. That joint investigation led to the filing of charges in 1991 against two Libyan intelligence officers. The investigation also pointed to another conspirator—a man known by the name “Abu Agela Masud”—but at the time, investigators were unable to identify or locate that suspect.

Joined this morning by Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers … Acting United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Michael Sherwin … and Kara Weipz, whose brother Rick Monetti was killed on the flight and who now leads a Pan Am Flight 103 advocacy organization, I am pleased to announce that the United States has filed criminal charges against the third conspirator, Abu Agila Muhammad Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi, for his role in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.

Let there be no mistake: no amount of time or distance will stop the United States, and its partners in Scotland, from pursuing justice in this case.

Well over a third of Americans alive today were not yet born on the day of the Lockerbie bombing or would not have been old enough to remember it. But for those of us who do remember, that tragic event and the iconic images of its aftermath, some of which are displayed here today, are forever seared in our memories.

Passengers and crew aboard the flight came from 21 countries around the world. But by far the largest contingent on that doomed flight were Americans, including a group of 35 study-abroad students from Syracuse University who were on their way home to spend the holidays with their families.

There is no question that the Pan Am 103 attack was aimed at the United States, and this heinous assault lives in infamy in the collective memory of the American people. At Arlington National Cemetery, a cairn of 270 Scottish stones honors “those who lost their lives in this attack against America.” And at Syracuse University, 35 Remembrance Scholarships are awarded each year, with each recipient representing a particular Syracuse student killed aboard the plane.

Following the bombing, many of the victims’ families made an agonizing journey to Scotland to the place where they lost their loved ones. The people of Lockerbie, though devastated themselves, provided around-the-clock hospitality. In an unforgettable gesture, a group of Scottish women meticulously collected clothing from amid the wreckage; washed, ironed, and folded the garments they found; and sent them home to the victims’ family members as a final connection to their loved ones. Sadly, the remains of 17 victims were never identified or found.

From the beginning, the United States and Scotland have been determined to find and hold accountable those who perpetrated the Pan Am 103 attack. As I mentioned, our joint investigation led to the filing of charges in November 1991 in both the United States and Scotland against two Libyan intelligence officers—Abdel Baset Ali al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah. Nearly ten years later, in May 2000, a specially established Scottish court convened in The Netherlands to try the two men. In January 2001, Megrahi was convicted on all charges, but Fhimah was acquitted.

The breakthrough that has led to the charges announced today arose when law enforcement learned in 2016 that the third conspirator had been arrested after the collapse of the Qaddafi regime and interviewed by a Libyan law enforcement officer in September 2012. According to the criminal complaint affidavit, Masud built the bomb that destroyed Pan Am Flight 103 and worked with Megrahi and Fhimah to carry out the plot. The affidavit also alleges that the operation had been ordered by the leadership of Libyan intelligence and that, after the downing of the aircraft, Qaddafi had thanked Masud for the successful attack on the United States. In addition to his involvement in the Lockerbie bombing, Masud was also involved in the 1986 bombing of the LaBelle Discotheque in Berlin, West Germany, which killed two American service members and a Turkish woman. Although Masud remains in Libyan custody, Libyan authorities provided a copy of the interview to law enforcement.

Based on that and other evidence, prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Counterterrorism Section of the National Security Division unsealed a complaint this morning in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia charging Masud with terrorism-related crimes for his role in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. At long last, this man responsible for killing Americans and many others will be subject to justice for his crimes.

The Lockerbie bombing case holds special significance for me because I was serving as the Acting Attorney General when charges were filed against Megrahi and Fhimah in 1991. I know firsthand the toil, tears, and sweat that have been poured into pursuing justice for the victims of the Lockerbie bombing and their families. And so it is with profound gratitude that I recognize and thank our law enforcement friends in Scotland for their nearly 32-year partnership with us on this case.

I also thank Lord Advocate of Scotland James Wolffe for his continued partnership. There is much work still to be done, and we will not be able to do it without our colleagues in Scotland. We are committed to working arm-in-arm with them as we move forward in this case. I am especially proud of the countless agents and analysts of the FBI who have worked the Pan Am 103 case relentlessly over the decades. Thank you for your dedication and perseverance. And finally, I thank the prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the National Security Division for their many years of hard work and for preparing the charges in this case.

Today, Masud remains in Libyan custody, and we intend to work closely with our Scottish counterparts to use every feasible and appropriate means to ensure that he answers for his part in the Lockerbie bombing. It is my hope that Libyan authorities will allow Masud to be tried for this crime and will provide the support and witnesses necessary to bring him to justice.

Nevertheless, while we will never rest in our efforts to hold Masud accountable, I hope that the families of the lost will find some comfort in the charges filed today. The alleged facts underlying these charges fill important gaps in the historical record and help complete the account of how the bombing was executed and who was responsible. Finding the truth is the first step toward achieving justice.

Much has changed in the more than three decades since Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie. Libya accepted responsibility for the bombing in 2003. Qaddafi and his regime are no more. Libya is no longer at war with America. And while we still face terrorist threats, our terrorist enemies are different, and we are more vigilant. Time, to be sure, marches on, and there is a tendency to think that grief does as well. But even though grief, like memories, may fade, for those who have lost love ones unexpectedly, it never truly fades away.

To the families of those who died in the sky above Lockerbie all those years ago, I know that the small step we take today cannot compensate for the sorrow you feel to this day. But I hope that you will find some measure of solace in knowing that we in the United States Government, on behalf of the American people and in partnership with our counterparts in Scotland, have never relented, and will never relent, in the pursuit of justice for you and your loved ones.

Thank you.
