Obama is behind the ANTIFA & BLM Movements, Antifa are his Storm Troopers!


“You think he’s gone? He’s NEVER gone!”

Richard Dreyfuss in “What About Bob?”

Ex President Obama is still working behind the scenes to “transform” America.
No one knows this better than President Trump.

Like a persistent skin rash, Obama just keeps lingering and making our lives miserable. He keeps quiet for awhile and then pops up and does some drive by insults and snark when the opportunity presents itself. And that’s just most obvious attacks, the ones that are below the surface are the most dangerous to the country.

Obama weaponized government and is using it to impede the Trump administration at all costs.

Remember Obama shadowed Trump around the globe, meeting with globalists weeks after the President did, as the far-left Fake News cabal covered up the news with headlines like  “Coinciding visits, although unintentional, serve to highlight Europe’s radically different view of the incumbent president and his ‘painfully missed’ predecessor”.

John Kerry, Obama’s secretary of state, met with Iranians in 2018 to plot ways to destroy Trump’s new presidency and reassure leaders that everything would “get back to normal” once Trump is defeated.

November 2017

Former US President Barack Obama is planning on meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an upcoming visit to the two countries where he is scheduled to speak at various summits.

Mr Obama is scheduled to first make a stop in China, and then India, before flying to Paris, a spokesperson for the former president told The Hill.

Obama and his administration is shadowing Trump and doing their best to undo the progress Trump has made in his first four years.

A former President and members of his administration working to undermine the current lawfully elected President?  That sounds a bit like treason to us!

#Obamagate isn’t just a hashtag folks!

While Anarchists Fail, Americans Prevail


With a Republican White House, Senate and House, President Trump will bring Americans the prosperity, jobs, infrastructure, foreign-policy pacts, and 21st century marvels of innovation they deserve!

While Anarchists Fail, Americans Prevail

On Christmas Eve in 2009, 60 Senate Democrats voted for Obamacare, which was finally voted on again by the House, passed and enacted into law on March 23, 2010. It was only two months into Barack Obama’s first term when they magically produced the exhaustively detailed, 2,300-page bill. But it turns out it wasn’t magic.

The leftists in Congress (Democrats all) had been working on their long-yearned-for Socialized Medicine for decades, just as they’ve worked––even harder––for the past four years to topple candidate and then President Donald J. Trump, who has so far succeeded in overturning, reforming, even eviscerating just about everything liberals/leftists/regressives have fought for, given money to, taught their children, and voted for over the past 60 years.

What we’ve learned from their treachery is that Democrats always have backup plans, contingency strategies waiting in the wings, almost as if they are counting on failure.

SO MANY PLANS, SO LITTLE TIME

Plan A was to utilize all the seditious and traitorous bad actors Barack Obama had put into the highest positions of Justice, State, Intelligence, et al––the FBI, the CIA, the DNI, the DOJ, on and on—in order to fabricate malicious stories about the president, wiretap his phones, enact sting operations on his advisers, and enlist the fake-news media to prove that candidate and then President Trump colluded with the Russians to win the 2016 election.
Result: Failure.

Plan B was to flood the airwaves––and the country––with the framing of the president’s first choice as National Security Advisor, Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, by 37 (and counting) crooked Obama Officials. In May 2020, the Justice Department dropped all charges against Flynn, but a leftist federal court judge has placed the matter on hold leading to the speculation that he is hoping that a Biden Justice Dept. will revive it. Nevertheless….
Result: Failure

Plan C was to enlist lawyer Michael Avenetti to claim that his client, call girl Stormy Daniels, had an affair with the president, a claim she has since denied –– “it never happened.” Once again the anti-Trump forces relied on the craven fake-news media to lend the accusation credibility.
Result: Failure.  

Plan D was to accuse the president of asking the Ukrainian president to look into the corruption of Presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter when Biden was VP of the U.S., a travesty that Patricia McCarthy spells out extensively, concluding, “If anyone needed to be impeached, it was virtually all of the top dogs of the Obama administration: Holder, Lynch, Rice, Power, Comey, McCabe, et al. and of course Biden as well.”

Result: Failure

Plan E was to impeach the president, supposedly for the same call to the Ukrainian president, an effort historian Victor Davis Hanson calls a coup that relied on at least 10 false premises, including phony whistleblowers who relied on “secondhand water-cooler gossip;” no finding by a special counsel of any felony, collusion or obstruction; the absence of bipartisan support; no high crimes or misdemeanors; the chronic lying of “hyper-partisan” prosecutor Cong. Adam Schiff, et al. This perversion of justice began on Jan. 16, 2020 and concluded on Feb. 5, 2020 with the president’s total acquittal.
Result: Failure

All these crashing failures were designed to be smashing successes that resulted in the removal of President Trump from office. But as I’ve both said and written on many occasions, Democrats are simply not that smart.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE!

Just as the impeachment failure was ending in February, whaddaya know? March indeed came in like a lion with the Chinese virus aka Covid-19. And there, front and center, ostensibly helping the president through this crisis, were old-time leftists Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, significantly concealing their affiliations with the vaccine fetishist Bill Gates and The Clinton Foundation. Check it out here and here.

In addition to citing doomsday mortality numbers that never materialized, their prescription for “flattening the curve” was a virtual shutdown of America:

  • Mandatory sheltering in place,
  • Closing non-essential businesses––except for the gay swingers’ clubs that Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer deemed highly essential,
  • Non-negotiable requirement to wear masks and gloves,
  • Closing all pre-schools to universities,
  • Shutting down all entertainment, sports, restaurants, parks, et al,
  • Forbidding the attendance at any house of worship
  • Cessation of all elective surgeries,
  • Closing of all airports, on and on.

Quick question: Why was there not one micro-question from any media outlet about Bill Gates’ deep involvement with the Netflix docuseries PANDEMIC, which debuted January 22, 2020, right before the Chinese virus hit?


Result: Failure

Plan F is what I call the mini-Martial Law we’ve experienced as a result of the corona virus, sort of a dress rehearsal for what the deranged and depressed Democrats still had left in their Depose-Trump, Destroy-America arsenal. Suffice it to say that the attempt by the Doctors of Doom to shut down America and destroy its economy earned the following evaluation:
Result: Failure

Freedom & Equality are never ever free and you will lose both when the masses gain control; as they are now doing. The result is always civil or international war and only a fool will go there willingly.

According To Some Archbishops Only Some People Are Welcome To Pray At Shrines


Religious freedom is under unrelenting attack by an enemy who works to deplatform prayer

President and First Lady at Saint John Paul II National Shrine

In these darkest of days, intended to drive the masses into despair, the archbishop of Washington will go on to serve—albeit unwillingly—as a lifelong reminder that clerics and governments may be able to shut the masses out of houses of worship—but will find it frustratingly impossible to shut them out of Prayer.

By shutting down all churches as an unnecessary means to curb the spread of Coronavirus, all participating governments and clerics have ingloriously painted themselves into a corner from which there is no return.

As long as it lasts, the church shutdown is only making people of faith increasingly aware that they don’t have to have brick and mortar buildings in order to pray.

In other words, Coronavirus made the churches of the day, the homes of all of those denied being able to go to church.

Private homes are now what churches are supposed to be—Houses of Worship where people gather to pray.

Only the Almighty can rightfully lay claim to owning all churches.  The archbishop of Washington cannot possibly lay claim to owning the Saint John Paul II National Shrine, which belongs to the Creator and all People of Faith.

“The Rev. Wilton D. Gregory, archbishop of Washington issued a scathing condemnation of President Trump’s visit to the Saint John Paul II National Shrine Tuesday with first lady Melania. (Fox News, June 3, 2020)

“Wilton Gregory opposed the long-planned visit by Trump and first lady Melania Trump, who is Catholic.

“I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree,” the archbishop said in a statement.”

Some of us find it “baffling and reprehensible” that there was not even a meek peep of protest from the archbishop and other church hierarchy when government, without a by your leave, shut our churches down.

In his public put down of the president’s long-planned visit to the Shrine, Gregory pontificated on the virtues of Saint Pope John Paul II—never once mentioning that as Bishop of KraKow, Karol Wojtyła, Pope John Paul 11, routinely faced down the guns of the Communist regime in Poland when he led outdoor Masses summer and winter at Nowa Huta (Canada Free Press, Oct, 2, 2002)

“Saint Pope John Paul II was an ardent defender of the rights and dignity of human beings. His legacy bears vivid witness to that truth,” Gregory added. “He certainly would not condone the use of tear gas and other deterrents to silence, scatter or intimidate them for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace.” (Fox News).

“The archbishop was referring to Trump’s Monday night surprise walk from the White House to St. John’s Episcopal Church, amid the protests following Floyd’s death. Trump held up a Bible and posed for a photo. Prior to his visit—and a mandated curfew in the city—police officers took steps to remove protesters from Lafayette Park.

Putting words into the mouth of a Saint who has already passed is, to say the least, egregious.

The archbishop’s attack on the president and his wife, who the Washington Post described as “identifying as a Catholic”, is purely partisan in nature.

The archbishop’s Trump rebuke was all the more telling because both visits happen to coincide with an international religious liberty executive order.

“Brian Burch, the president of CatholicVote, a political Catholic organization, said Trump’s visit to the shrine and executive order should be “celebrated” by those who love the church and religious freedom.” (Fox)

“It is regrettable that the Archbishop of Washington chose this occasion to engage in a partisan attack on the President, especially when the country is in desperate need of healing and unity.

“Dwight Longenecker, a Catholic priest, shared an image of Gregory with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with the caption: “I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated.”

Fr. Dwight Longenecker@dlongenecker1

Religious freedom is under unrelenting attack by an enemy who work to deplatform prayer.

They want the masses left in deep despair.

Instead of despair, pray, pray, pray!

Meanwhile, the closing of churches will soon see a boomerang effect on governments and clerics who went along with it.

How government and clerics will be able to climb out of their self-made trap will be something to see!

 

Civil Unrest Ignites on Schedule


(picture from Paris protest, credit Michel Euler/AP)

George Floyd’s death has sparked civil unrest throughout the world. In Athens, Greece, protestors flung firebombs at the US embassy. In France, President Macron urged citizens not to compare France with the US as he does not feel police brutality, racism, or government control is an issue there. French citizens seem to disagree as 2,500 people attended a rally in Lille, 1,800 in Marseille, and 1,200 in Lyon. Germany, Denmark, Italy, Britain, Brazil, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Syria, and countless other countries are experiencing a surge of protests standing in solidarity with the US. But the unrest runs even deeper than yet another murder by armed government workers.

After weeks on end of forced isolation, the people are waking up to the control that the government possesses over every area of their lives. Anger is overtaking fear as thousands are disregarding the CDC’s continued pleas to stay at home and avoid crowds. There is no rule of law. Governments can and will act in their own self-interests and continue to view the people as “the great unwashed” who are not worthy of basic human rights. They can kill us, take away our jobs, our freedoms, and destroy the economy at will. Is it any wonder that the people have lost confidence in their governments?

The chaos is cyclically unfolding on schedule. All confidence in the government has been abandoned due to the draconian measures forced upon the people in such a rash manner that it could not be ignored.

Is Canada More Cult Than Country?


“Are we just a bunch of COVID kool-aid drinkers?”

Is Canada More Cult Than Country?

Cults are often described as a religious sect considered to be extremist or false, typically under the thrall of a charismatic leader. However, even religious cults meet the general description “Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing.”  In a broad secular sense, it could be said that cultists are devotees of false, reality-challenged, principles.

Is it possible that “conventional society” itself could become a cult? At first glance that would seem impossible because not everyone believes the same things. The point is, in a democracy, you don’t need everyone to believe the same thing, you just need enough believing voters to gain political power. Boom, the cult rules over everyone.

Psychological And Emotional Manipulation

Cults have to pick and choose their targets carefully, typically seeking those who are stressed or emotionally vulnerable with tenuous family connections. The grooming begins with “Love-bombing” whereby targets are showered with praise and affection.The feelings of validation and acceptance provide a sense of belonging and help build loyalty towards the group.

Isolation follows. People are physically and intellectually separated from outside influences of friends and family that could provide a reality check and contradictory information is censored. This allows the cult to gain control.

Maintaining control requires keeping the members ignorant and off balance, typically with a mixture of terror and love. Dissent is punished and obedience is lauded. Fear isn’t enough as people will break down and become a problem, so the cult provides a safe space to run to. The combination of fear and safety guides their path.

The brainwashing makes it exceedingly difficult for people to escape. Control of information stagnates intellectual development and prevents growth and understanding and without outside allies, it is hard to break the emotional bonds that have been developed.

It’s easy to look down at people who’ve been taken advantage of by a cult, to mock their emotional weakness and insult their intelligence but are we as a nation guilty of swallowing barrels full of kool-aid ourselves?

The Country Sized Cult

Psychological manipulation through emotional control and intellectual ignorance are the keys to a cult’s success and both can be managed if one controls the message. For the most part, our media and educations systems speak with a monolithic voice on all important matters.

While cults have to be careful in their target selection, a country sized cult has no restrictions because every citizen is targeted. The goal is simply to convince enough citizens to gain political control. Unfortunately, success forces everyone to live with the cult’s rules.

Censorship is evil, as are those who engage in it. It doesn’t protect us from “bad” information, it ensures conformity by restricting the information available for consumption and contemplation. It boxes us into an intellectual corner thereby setting limits on societal understanding. In other words, censorship keeps us ignorant and ignorance is an exploitable condition.
Emotional control tactics come in all shapes and sizes, from subtle persuasion to vile coercion.

Virtue signalling is a type of love-bomb that says, “look at how good we are, and how bad you are”. It has a dual personality that reflects both submission and superiority. By submitting, one is warmly welcomed by acceptable society where they can show superiority by shaming and excluding from the group those who refuse.

Reusable shopping bags and COVID masks are great examples

Reusable shopping bags and COVID masks are great examples. Unless kept meticulously clean, reusable bags are unsafe when they turn into bacteria and virus farms. COVID masks don’t prevent catching the virus because they aren’t sealed, and some have pores larger than the virus. They virtue signal concern but virtue signalling is not an act of virtue because virtuous behaviour is that which honors and respects truth and reality.

The phrases “willful ignorance” and “lack of nuance” are more aggressive forms of emotional manipulation that insinuate the target lacks the intellectual capacity to properly understand the situation. They are used to emotionally bully opponents into accepting one’s own beliefs about the subject. For instance, one is willfully ignorant if they don’t accept the scientific consensus on “climate change” that the sun has little to do with it. Nuance can be viewed as the weighing and measuring of information at the appropriate time and place in the thinking process. Some information is irrelevant or overwhelmed by other factors. Dismissing such data isn’t a sign one “lacks nuance”, it’s an indicator of intelligence. Using the phrases as slurs, however, is an obvious attempt to coerce, not teach.

The vilest manipulation tactics are direct attacks on a person’ character and can induce a mob mentality within the cult. Indiscriminately labelling people who disagree as some form of racist, xenophobic, bigot can cause people to lose their livelihoods and sometimes their lives when the mob starts braying for blood. They are typically used against those whose understanding and expertise threaten the state of ignorance that has been carefully and deliberately crafted in the cult.
The underlying theme of Cult Canada is government is good, big government is better, and totalitarian government is best.  Climate and COVID alarm are media manufactured fears where more government is the solution.

An Admission Of Ignorance

Norway’s health chief admitted that they could have controlled COVID-19 without the lockdown and avoided some of the unfortunate impacts of the lockdown.  It’s an admittance they acted hastily in ignorance, a refreshing dose of honesty sadly missing in the Canadian landscape.

Some of us warned back in March that we were making an incredible mistake. It wasn’t a guess. It was the knowledge that the media does manipulate emotions in service to an agenda and that the data challenged models could only be guessing. They, and the experts, were absolutely ignorant. That, and logic rule number one, bad information leads to bad consequences.

We’re willingly destroying ourselves so tell me, how are we not a cult?

Refusing to Wear Masks in the South


Journalists have not gotten the message — they are now viewed even below police as a trusted ethical profession in society. They spend all their time trying to scare people and disregard the economic havoc they have caused, no less the massive job loss and futures they have destroyed. About 30% of mortgages are behind and commercial property has crashed and burned. Even our landlord is on their hands & knees pleading for us to renew, offering sizable discounts, just so they can break even.

Economically, it’s a different picture altogether in the South. Millions of people here don’t know a single soul who has become sick, but they know plenty of people who have lost their jobs. Those I know who got sick are in New Jersey and New York.

When I go out, the only people with masks are the employees and many have them just below their nose so they can breathe. On the street, perhaps I have seen one person out of a thousand with a mask. Nobody in my area knows anyone with COVID-19 down here. This is becoming like CNN’s forecast for a hurricane that we were all going to die and a “10-foot wall of water” was going to rush in. Perhaps it reached the top of my big toe.

The Civil Unrest That Trump Does Not Understand


 

The rise of civil unrest spreading across the country is more than just the death of George Floyd. People have been dying in police confrontations for many years. The fact that they have destroyed the economy and 40 million jobs with this fake coronavirus scam has added fuel to the fire, which our computer has been projecting since 2014. They are now targeting police as I have warned is the next logical progression when they protect police for wrongful acts. This is the very same human response we saw when the Catholic Church tried to hide priests who were molesting children. In both cases, they wrongly think they are upholding the image of the organization in question, when in fact they are undermining the public confidence.

A Gallup Poll from January 2020 showed that nurses are the most trusted profession with both police and journalists at the bottom of the list. Only a slight majority, 54%, believe police officers are honest and ethical. The view of fake news journalists is that now only 28% see them as ethical.

If Trump does not understand that the root of this frustration is the very lockdown, then he is throwing gasoline on the fire. He needs better advice, for this is stupid and shows a lack of analytical minds advising him at this time. You cannot simply look at the surface. The riots of 1844 that turned into gun battles against the Irish was because they were the last off the boat and were willing to work for less in a period of also rising unemployment as we have today.

We MUST look at the underlying economic conditions. That cannot be ignored. Prosecuting this one cop will not resolve the unrest. If he is found innocent, well, watch what happens! Trump’s suggestion that state governors should send in the U.S. military to quell unrest after five officers were shot and wounded in an escalation of tensions is inviting civil war. While looting should be stopped, the US military cannot take action directly against the people. That is the wrong thing to do. They must remain detached from the image of the police.

Mayor de Blasio Used National Guard to Quarantine Neighborhoods During Virus – Now Refuses National Guard to Prevent Mob Violence, Looting and Arson…


According to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio the National Guard are not a force for peace & security; they are a political weapon used when convenient for political purposes.

After using the National Guard to lock-down neighborhoods and block church gatherings and attendance, New York City Mayor de Blasio now refuses to use the national guard to stop widespread mob violence, looting, arson and mayhem. Oh, and law-abiding citizens within the city are almost completely blocked by regulations from owning firearms.

New York state Governor Andrew Cuomo said today he has no way to deploy the national guard into New York City without replacing Mayor Bill de Blasio:

[New York] “I’ve offered the National Guard, the mayor has said he can handle it with the NYPD,” Cuomo said Tuesday in an Albany press briefing. “My option is to displace the mayor of New York City and bring in the National Guard as the governor in a state of emergency, and basically take over.

“[Point] A, I don’t think we’re at that point. B, that would be such a chaotic situation in the midst of an already chaotic situation.” (link)
