This is the moment the previous three nights of effort have built toward, the acceptance speech by Kamala Harris at the DNC Convention.
Kamala has never given a major speech with this much attention and her handlers have been working furiously to prepare her for the past 48 hours. There is a lot riding on these next few hours for Barack Obama, the people around him who are trying to install his fourth term of influence, and for James Clyburn and the Democrat apparatus who have steered toward this outcome for the past four years.
If you are watching the events tonight, consider this an open discussion thread. Kamala Harris is anticipated to speak around 9:30pm ET.
♦ 9 p.m. Eva Longoria, then Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), then comes Maya Harris, followed by North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper who will likely introduce Vice President Kamala Harris. However, there could be some surprises.

Maybe, just maybe, political reality is starting to permeate Chris Cuomo. Or it could be that Chris Cuomo is attempting to shape-shift by dropping pretenses. Whatever it is, this encapsulated segment by the former CNN host is a little surprising insofar as it is generally accurate.
According to those who know him best, Cuomo is not a very bright fellow. However, on the issue of money in politics as outlined in this segment, Cuomo is essentially dropping truth bombs. WATCH:
A good example of Big Money shaping political outcomes was discussed yesterday in the story about RFK Jr.
There’s a billionaire named Timothy Mellon who has essentially been funding RFK Jr to the tune of $25 million, while simultaneously funding the Make America Great Again SuperPAC to the tune of over $115 million.
In the second quarter, Tim Mellon gave another $50 million to the MAGA SuperPAC. It is likely Mr Mellon who is the influence agent behind RFK Jr and his ability to remain campaigning as an independent. Having previously fronted most of the RFK Jr funding, if Tim Mellon pulled funding from Kennedy that would explain the drop-out announcement likely tomorrow.
As the election cycles have passed, the spending in each presidential election has increased massively. As Cuomo noted, the projected spend in 2024 is now over $10 billion.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a well-funded terrorist organization that is permitted to wreak havoc on the global population with no repercussions. Klaus Schwab and his “forum” have been proclaiming how they will change the lives of the masses for years but everyone turns a blind eye. They told us we will eat bugs, they told us we will own nothings, they’ve been warning of their sinister plans for some time. The WEF infiltrated government cabinets and altered the left side of politics in every single Western nation. The WEF recently released an ominous article, warning that we must prepare for “an era of shock events”in the near future.
Power disperses in a post-superpower era
The forum stated years ago that one of its goals was to remove America’s title of global superpower. “Since the pandemic eased, the reality is we haven’t had enduring global leadership on much, and it’s hard to imagine that changing soon. This is partly because superpowers are terribly burdened with global wars and domestic challenges,” the WEF warned. A global government is their proposed solution.
A big election year won’t stop our recurrent crisis of political legitimacy
The WEF warns that “disinformation” is threatening “the biggest election year in history,” hence the need for global censorship both on the streets and online. The forum warns that democracy is declining, largely due to policies it implemented. Civil unrest is rising and the WEF is prepared for the dissent. Furthermore, they already recognize that no one will accept the results of the election. “People have fought back in all political systems, driven by a conviction that there must be a better, more effective way to govern. In most countries, even after their vote, citizens will continue to challenge their leaders, questioning whether they have the capacity to tackle our many post-pandemic risks,” the article notes. In other words, the people have become unruly and are turning on governments. The World Economic Forum is prepared to crush any rebellion before it occurs.
A more complex global mental health crisis
Countless studies show that mental health drastically declined among every nation that implemented lockdowns. Two years of 24/7 fear mongering, business and school closures, job losses, and isolation have permanently changed our society. The World Economic Forum now that’s that there is ‘new type of anxiety “leading to a sense of alienation that makes it hard to function and even suicide.” ECO-ANXIETY and AI. Those who believe the claims that the world will end every few years have become ill. The climate change hysteria is wreaking havoc, as intended so that governments can continue to spend on an unidentifiable problem without the masses questioning their perpetual spending. Then we have the claims that 50% of the workforce will be replaced with AI, leaving human being utterly useless and disposable. Again, both of these fears have been orchestrated by the same organization that wants to ease them.
An era of shock events
Perhaps the most ominous piece in this article is Schwab’s promise that the world is on the cusp of “an era of shock events.” Enduring global leadership, democratic ideals, globalization and liberal values have all been notably challenged and superpowers are overstretched,” the forum stated, further adding, “This period of muddling through means anything can happen in our post-pandemic era. Look for global risks to be further exacerbated by unexpected, destabilizing shock events.”
These are the three major shock wave events that the WEF plans to orchestrate:
A new global extremist group emerges
A cyber pandemic – that is intentional
Climate change claims its first island nation in the post-pandemic era
The world will be “distracted with multiple major wars and leadership in decline,” providing the globalist cabal with an opportunity to install a “new extremist group.” The forum believes this group will implement AI in its “new phase of terrorism.” The massive global IT outage in July 2024 led to $5.4 billion in damages. Was that a test? The forum warns that we should expect a “grander scale” of cyber-attacks that will attack BANKS, hospitals, and retailers and lead to a halt in worldwide services. Flights will be impacted and the people will be forced to stay in place.
Last but not least, the forum believes an island nation will soon be lost to climate change. “The COP28 plan to phase out fossil fuels may take decades and it’s unclear if world leaders will follow through,” the cabal notes. They are willing to orchestrate an event that will lead to mass death and destruction. A clear, identifiable tragedy that can be blamed on the changing climate, forcing people to believe that the hysteria surrounding climate change is justifiable. What world leader can question climate change if or when an island nation is lost?
Klaus Schwab’s organization is promising civil unrest, economic collapse, World War III, and the evaporation of a nation. They will use all of the aforementioned fear tactics to drain the people of their power. The globalists are willing to batter the masses with a series of attacks that will act as a staunch warning that there is nowhere to run. The government will come in to save the day from the crises they create. Which government? A global government that is capable of assembling to control the entire human population.

The exodus from blue states has not waned since the pandemic. Americans are seeking lower taxes, crime, and tyranny as half of our nation descends into utter chaos. A recent poll by SmartAsset found that Americans earning $200,000 or more have been the most eager to flee states like New York and California.
California and New York have lost more high-earners, and therefore higher taxpayers, than any other states. California is the least desirable state with an average outflow of 24,670 high-income households with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $1.3m. New York is not far behind, with a net outflow of 12,040 high-earning households worth an average AGI of $1.1m.
California is rushing to implement legislation to punish those who dare to leave Newsom’s socialist utopia. I’ve discussed the exit tax on this blog in detail as businesses and individuals seeking to leave the Golden State must pay a fine. The government will look at all of your assets and investments to determine how much you will need to pay, which is usually 0.4% of someone’s net worth. Wealth historically flees when taxes rise, and to combat this issue, California plans to tax anyone with an income for $30 million for up to a full decade after they leave the state. Someone leaving the country entirely will still be forced to pay California for the privilege of leaving.
Other states will likely adopt an exit tax. New York’s state budget toppled, fueled by the migrant crisis, and they will begin to hunt their own citizens for funds because that is what governments have ALWAYS done when they find themselves insolvent.
California also has one of the highest tax brackets for income tax, often reaching 14.4%, while New York slaps a 10.9% tax on the highest earners.
Average home prices in California has reached $746,667 but it is difficult to compile an average price on such a large state and the average home in a DESIRABLE relatively safe neighborhood is much higher. The same could be said about New York as we have a vastly different landscape from the city to the north, and stating the average home price of $450,000 grossly understates what someone will pay if they live near the city or in a relatively safe desirable neighborhood.
Where is everyone moving?
Florida: 29,771 net inflow of high-earning households
Texas: 8,260 net inflow of high-earning households
North Carolina: 5,792 net inflow of high-earning households
South Carolina: 5,270 net inflow of high-earning households
Arizona: 4,365 net inflow of high-earning households
Americans are fleeing to red states with lower taxes and crime. Property prices in desirable neighborhoods may be high, but you have a much lower property tax. Florida and Texas continue to be the safe havens within America for both businesses and individuals. The average AGI for those moving to Florida from the aforementioned states is $907,013 while California’s new residents have an average AGI of $579,207. Consequently, lower earners have been forced to leave these states.
Inflation has already caused every American to spend more while living on less. High-income households are being punished under these socialistic eat the rich policies that invalidly claim they are responsible for the financial hardships of others. This trend will continue as Democrat-run states continue to adopt hardline policies that penalize monetary success.

The United Kingdom has lost its direction. The government openly arrests citizens for speaking out against government policies. A simple statement or post online can lead to jail. It is illegal to speak out against the migrant crisis and now it is illegal to say anything perceived as misogynistic.
Racism and misogyny come from a place of hate and obviously should be condemned socially, but allowing the government to play judge and juror opens Pandora’s box as one entity controls the narrative. Is it racist to say you disagree with Shira law? Is it misogynistic and racist to say white men are privileged and entitled? What about saying Israel should not exist as a nation? Is it misogynistic that rogue gangs of migrants are committing brutal sexual crimes against women and young girls with no repercussions? The government alone has the ability to arrest anyone who they believe is rebellious.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper declared outrage at the rise of far-right extremism both “online and in our streets” that “frays the very fabric of our communities and our democracy.” The government plans to compile a map of sorts that will track far-right extremism and misogyny to “identify any gaps in existing policy which need to be addressed to crack down on those pushing harmful and hateful beliefs and violence.”
Home Office minister Jess Phillips said that misogyny will be treated as “any other extremist ideology.” Disagree with DEI hiring? Questioning why biological males are competing against women in sports? You are no better than a Nazi or Ku Klux Klan wizard. “This isn’t about criminalising people who are showing signs of an ideology, it is about preventing that ideology, and this piece of work the Home Secretary has announced today is about looking at the gaps,” Phillips added.
These measures will do nothing to protect women. The entire premise of collecting data on those exercising free speech is a useful tool for the government to crush any dissent before it happens. It will cause people to look over their shoulders and think twice before voicing their opinions. Worse, it gives government yet another reason to jail those not in compliance.
Do they realize who they permitted to enter the country? Germany was forced to create guides for these male refugees to explain that women are not toys but human beings who should be respected. All of Europe imported millions of adult men from nations that require women to completely conceal themselves in public or risk death. These nations prevent women from obtaining higher education or having a life outside the home. Women in cities with a high number of refugees are afraid to walk alone because they could be assaulted and that assailant will not be punished.
London was a safe place to raise a family back in the day when I resided there. What has happened in the UK and throughout the Build Back Better nations was calculated and utterly preventable. I have warned that governments would become more tyrannical as we move into this private wave as their grip on the public tightens. They have lost the public’s confidence and must rule by decree. Mark my words that this is only the beginning of the demise of Western governments. Slowly but surely, they are turning everyone into a criminal. Soon “us vs. them” will not be divided by politics, race, religion, or gender – the day will come when the masses wake up and realize it is US vs government.

Here we come, Chicago! 🚐 Our mobile health clinic will be in the West Loop with @ChiAbortionFund & @TheWienerCircle Aug 19-20, providing FREE vasectomies & medication abortion. EC will also be available for free without an appointment.
— Planned Parenthood Great Rivers (@ppgreatrivers) August 14, 2024
The Democratic National Convention (DNC) is showing the world what their party now represents – utter debauchery. For the first time in American history, a Planned Parenthood bus drove around the Chicago area to offer free abortions and vasectomies to anyone looking to encourage population control. Those people are also helping the climate change agenda. After all, we humans produce harmful carbon emissions that damage the environment. Those who boarded that bus received a free sticker as a reminder that they chose to abort their baby or sterilize themselves at a political rally.
Thank you @TheWienerCircle! 🌭 It’s not too late to reserve your FREE medication abortion appointment at our mobile health clinic in Chicago’s West Loop 8/19 & 8/20: https://t.co/e3W3tCHLb6. We currently have a waitlist for free vasectomies. Repost to spread the word! https://t.co/KHUmoLXJUJ

What happened to abortion being a decision between a woman (birthing person) and her/its doctor? We are witnessing a dystopian nightmare occur in Chicago, America’s very own Sodom and Gomorrah. I will refrain from discussing abortions or vasectomies. Still, the origins of Planned Parenthood stem from eugenics and population control, and I am not surprised they are encouraging this in Chicago. More recently, Planned Parenthood has been targeting men for sterilization. There are ongoing efforts to market both options to young Americans.
Planned Parenthood states that although potentially reversible, the goal of the procedure is complete sterilization. “Vasectomies are meant to be permanent. You should only get a vasectomy if you’re 100% positive you don’t want to be able to get someone pregnant for the rest of your life,” Planned Parenthood states on its website. They claimed there was a waitlist ahead of the event as young men eagerly boarded the bus to ruin any future prospects of reproducing. A young 18-year-old in high school may have different views on parenthood down the line, but the Democrats are encouraging young adults to make life-altering last-minute decisions as a political stunt.
The Democrats have become extremists who will do anything to anger conservatives. This move has outraged even the moderates who believe that abortion should be a serious decision or reserved for special cases. Terminating a pregnancy should not be an instantaneous decision nor a political one. You should not be able to run after a truck as if it were the ice cream man for an abortion. This entire situation is extremely bizarre, sinister, and downright sad.
These people do not realize that the federal government is telling both men and women what to do with their bodies. The left is pushing them to anger the “far-right” by undergoing abortions and vasectomies in the name of bodily autonomy. Abortions and sterilizations are now to be considered on-demand services that do not deserve any real consideration or thought. Worst of all, Planned Parenthood is federally funded, so we as a collective are paying to terminate pregnancies with our tax dollars.
Planned Parenthood should be starved of all federal funding, and the Democrats should be horrified and ashamed by their repulsive behavior that shows they will do ANYTHING to create outrage and civil unrest. How many young girls will one day regret boarding that bus in Chicago spontaneously? “I aborted my baby at a Democratic National Convention for Kamala Harris in 2024!” Is that what these stickers say? Say goodbye to America’s Christian roots under Harris. In fact, say goodbye to basic human decency under Harris or any Democrat who believes abortions should be a sideshow to buy votes from a vulnerable subset of the population.
Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled her first economic agenda – price controls. Reminiscent of the Soviet Union, Harris believes that the government should invade the private sector and determine the price of goods. Kamala believes that corporate price gauging is to blame, particularly at the grocery store. Where have we seen this before and what were the results?
Let’s take a look at Venezuela. Hugo Chávez implemented price controls to combat inflation, but it backfired and caused the nation to experience one of the highest rates of inflation in the world. The government arbitrarily set prices without taking note of demand, supply, or the cost taken on by the private sector. Business was no longer profitable and small moms and pops disappeared. Those that remained could barely operate and experienced severe shortages on basic goods like food. The people panic and began to hoard what they could as they did not know when the goods would be available again.
A black market emerged. People were forced to barter and smuggle goods from nearby nations. People stopped using Venezuela’s currency as it held no weight. People saw the worth of the USD and Venezuela’s currency soon became utterly worthless. The dying private sector was unable to hold on to staff, leading to a mass uptick in unemployment. Inflation spiraled, people completely lost confidence in their government and currency. Hyperinflation ensued, people’s life’s savings were wiped out as even the most financially literate citizen lost everything.
But the government prevailed and insisted socialism was the only way to ensure fairness and equality. The program was initially a success, but as Margaret Thatcher said, “Socialism fails when you run out of other people’s money.” This is precisely what happened in Venezuela and EVERY single nation that implemented price controls.
The same disaster occurred in the Soviet Union under Gosplan. Whether it is communism or socialism, any method that decimates the free market ends in an economic collapse. The business cycle was ignored, as were factors that drove prices. The government knew best and usurped control over the private sector from the farm to the store. Shortages, unemployment, and starvation ensued. We are all familiar with the Soviet-era breadlines and the hardships that the people endured. There was no innovation, as there was no incentive for entrepreneurship or invention, and the nation was left behind in a time capsule of the past. People lost all confidence and the government effectively suffocated the private sector to death. They took over every aspect of the economy and free market piece by piece until the entire economy shattered.
The examples are endless. PRICE CONTROLS DO NOT WORK. SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK. This policy is absolute insanity. Do people realize that this is only the beginning of what we would see under a Harris presidency? She is financially illiterate and no one on her team has any working knowledge of how the world functions. Blaming higher prices at the grocery store solely on corporate greed is utterly ignorant. This policy is DANGEROUS and would push the once great democracy of America into the hells of socialism.

In this picture, a screengrab from a recent media question, you will notice Brian Fallon on screen right, using his cell phone to record the Q&A in case the principal, Harris, says something stupid and the campaign needs to clean it up.
The recording of media questions and answers is not that uncommon, and it is often done to protect the campaign in the even the media tries to distort the statement. However, in this example what is noteworthy is that Brian Fallon is doing it. The copying is not usually done by the campaign manager, it is usually a staff task assigned to someone else.
When contrast against the lack of accessibility and media pressers, Fallon being involved at this level indicates the extreme sensitivity and fear within the Harris campaign. Quite simply, the campaign is very concerned about what Harris might say and how that might create an issue for the construct that has been manufactured around her.
The Harris campaign is one massive astroturfing operation where nothing is organic or real.
Supporters are paid, influencers are recruited, the optics are carefully scripted and managed. Nothing in the orbit of Kamala Harris or Tim Walz is authentic or unscripted. Essentially, this is the evolution of another pretense flowing forward towards Obama’s 4th term in office.
The policies advocated are from the extreme left of the party apparatus. Everything at the DNC Convention in Chicago is an outcome of a plan that always included the intention of removing Joe Biden. Joe and Jill Biden will be leaving Chicago as soon as he says goodbye to the audience.
CHICAGO – […] The president, who is spending a few hours resting and preparing for his remarks at the Waldorf Astoria, is scheduled to immediately depart Chicago late Monday evening and head to California for a week of vacation. (more)
