Democrat Senator Joe Manchin Endorses Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski for Reelection


February 6, 2022 | sundance | 133 Comments

Everything we ever needed to know about Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski we saw firsthand in 2010 when she lost the primary race to Republican Joe Miller and refused to give up her seat.

Senator Murkowski lost the 2010 primary, then abandoned her party affiliation and ran on a write-in platform permitting thousands of Democrats to vote for her in a subsequent three-way general election.  Murkowski is a Democrat Party installed Republican member of the UniParty, the most obvious example of the illusion of choice in politics.

As a result, Democrat Senator Joe Manchin is not exactly doing anything out of bounds here when he endorses Democrat installed Senator Lisa Murkowski for relection.  WATCH (12:16 Prompted):

.

The goal in the 2022 Alaska primary is to defeat Lisa Murkowski again, and then leverage the strength of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement to make it impossible for her to run as another write-in candidate.  Lisa Murkowski MUST BE removed.

…”You are the wind beneath my wings, Joe.”

Sunday Talks, All GOP Club Members Asked if They Support Mike Pence Remarks on Friday


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 6, 2022 | sundance | 292 Comments

For those who might not have been paying attention, last Friday the RNC Club membership held a discussion at the Federalist Society meeting in Florida.

The Federalist Society is the paid subcontractor of the RNC Club who provide the approved list of judicial nominees that club members are required to support.

Multinational business interests pay the Federalist Society to get their friends on the list, that’s their smaller business model within the club.

The Federalist Society then ranks the names according to the amount provided and the tenured status of the insider individual or group providing the reference. Then the list is passed along to the Club members, political leadership members, who are within the framework of government to install.

Former Republican Vice President Mike Pence and current Republican Governor Ron DeSantis attended the Federalist Society event together at the request of the RNC Club affiliate.   The Club board members requested that Vice President Mike Pence use the opportunity to distance a non-club member, Donald Trump, from the organization.

As a tenured Club member, Mike Pence was happy to oblige the request – create the distance the club requested and create the narrative for Club use over the upcoming weekend, including today.

As a consequence of the planned and orchestrated sequence of insider events, all other tenured Club members were then grilled by the media about whether they agree or disagree with the Club’s opinion of the target, Donald Trump.

One example of the Club objective can be found when Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio appeared on CBS with Margaret Brennan. WATCH:

As the 2022 primary season begins to take shape, it is important to remember that all messaging from the people within the private Club known as the GOP (for selected politicians) or RNC (for membership to support the selected politicians), does not come from some organic coincidence.

Everything we witness as the Club enters their season of greatest business opportunity is all carefully coordinated and presented.

Remember, “artful politics is the purposeful creation of an illusion of options for the audience,” and YOU are the audience.

Something Not Emphasized Enough


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 6, 2022 | sundance | 273 Comments

There is a baseline CTH readers are likely familiar with, but something we have not emphasized enough in quite some time.

The Republican National Committee (RNC), and the Democrat National Committee (DNC), are private clubs.

The RNC and DNC are corporations, private businesses; and just like all private businesses, they have the ability to make rules, bylaws, terms and conditions of membership and association that are completely arbitrary according to their charter.

The RNC and DNC are not entities of government.  The RNC and DNC are not affiliates of government.  The RNC and DNC have absolutely no connection to government, other than their arbitrary business model for helping politicians enter and remain within government.

In fact, the RNC and DNC are simply private corporations who engage in the business of politics.  Whenever we start to forget the DNC and RNC are private corporations, we can slip into the mistaken belief that they operate on any form of baseline altruism.

These corporations exist for the fulfillment of their mission; and their mission is to use the business of politics as a method of financial reward to sustain the business model.

Some call these private entities, these corporations, “clubs,” because using that term helps to remind us that these groups do not operate without a private agenda.

The rules within the RNC club are determined by the people who control the club charter, primarily large donors who fund the corporate business.  If they have a particular intent or direction, they wish the club to support or take, they control how the club engages in the process of achieving their outcome.  That effort is taken regardless of the opinion from the subordinate members in the club.

Through the process of controlling the corporations, the private clubs, both the RNC and DNC control how political events take place.  Nothing within this process is contingent upon the support of the voting electorate.

Each state and local precinct has their own chapter of the club, and often the corporate direction, specifically the club activity in/around Washington DC, is different from what the local groups want to see take place.  However, just because the local chapter of the group disagrees with the parent company or board of directors, does not mean the larger corporate entity will change anything.

When we are evaluating political events inside the United States, it is critical to keep reminding ourselves that what is taking place, or what is not taking place, are outcomes determined within the executive suites of a private club.   This is an unfortunate system dynamic, but it is a critical point that once fully understood explains many of the issues people have with the registered politicians within the club.

The RNC and DNC are businesses.  Their decisions are business decisions.  The club actions, or lack thereof, are all part of the business of politics.

The tenured participants in the club do not operate arbitrarily in a vacuum.  They talk to each other, communicate with each other, organize with each other, plan with each other, and collaborate for the larger objectives of the private corporation.

Nothing within the business system of DC and club politics has anything to do with the constitutional framework of U.S. government.

Again, for emphasis.  The governing process and constitutional aspects of the framework within the U.S. government, have absolutely nothing to do with the two private corporations known as the RNC and DNC.

A potato farmer has no influence on McDonalds, despite the fact the fast food corporation sells french fries.

Please keep this reference point in mind.

Ottawa Declares State of Emergency – In Order to Defend the Illusion of Canada Democracy, We Must First Destroy it – Police Will Now Arrest Any Entity Who Attempts to Support Freedom Protest


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 6, 2022 | sundance | 765 Comments

The governing Canadian officials (both political parties) can no longer keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in hiding; they have exhausted all possible political justifications including a manufactured “security threat”, and a COVID-19 “diagnosis” that required quarantine.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is going to have to come back to work in Ottawa.

As a direct result, to protect the political viability of their King, the pretorian guard must remove the pesky freedom protest groups.  Everything takes on an additional sense of urgency, after all, “the Canadian democracy is at stake.”

To handle this dynamic, the City of Ottawa officials have just declared a “state of emergency,” and with additional authorization therein, the Ottawa Police Department have announced they will now arrest anyone who attempts to support the public freedom protest.

In order to save their illusion of democracy, the Canadian ruling class must first destroy it… By official decree:

CANADA – The City of Ottawa declared a state of emergency Sunday afternoon in response to ongoing protests in the downtown core, soon after police announced they would boost enforcement and crack down on the demonstrators’ supply of fuel.

In a statement, the city said the declaration “reflects the serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents posed by the ongoing demonstrations and highlights the need for support from other jurisdictions and levels of government.”

[…] A local state of emergency will allow Ottawa to work more efficiently to manage essential services and make procurement more flexible, the city said. Provincial legislation grants mayors powers during an emergency to make orders “not contrary to law to implement the emergency plan of the municipality and to protect property and the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the emergency area.”

Earlier in the afternoon, Ottawa police announced they would ramp up enforcement on protesters in the city’s downtown core, handing out tickets and announcing that anyone looking to bring “material aid,” such as fuel, to protesters could be arrested. (read more)

Melinda French Gates to Dismantle the Gates Foundation Monopoly


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Feb 6, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

After their public divorce in late 2021, Melinda French Gates pledged to give the majority of her wealth to the foundation she developed with her now ex-husband. Melinda French Gates is now retracting that promise. “I recognize the absurdity of so much wealth being concentrated in the hands of one person, and I believe the only responsible thing to do with a fortune this size is give it away — as thoughtfully and impactfully as possible,” French Gates wrote in a letter. She will instead spread her wealth to various philanthropic causes. Is her statement a nod at her ex-husband’s fantasy of monopolizing vaccines to become the richest man alive? She is now claiming that handing that much money to one person, or foundation in this case, is irresponsible.

Melinda remains the co-chair of the foundation along with Bill. However, she has agreed to step down by 2023 if either party deems they cannot work together. Perhaps she knows Bill has plans to push her to the side – she knows too much. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (expect a rebranding come 2023) remains one of the largest foundations in the world with an estimated $51 billion endowment. It seems like some no longer wish to closely affiliate with Bill Gates. Even Warren Buffett, a top Gates Foundation donor, slowly backed away from Gates in the last year. The formerly quirky, nerdy Microsoft founder’s image has changed over the course of this pandemic to that of a man thirsting for power.

Iowa to Repeal COVID Restrictions


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Feb 6, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

As President Biden said, the coronavirus will be dealt with at the state level. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has announced plans to repeal all emergency COVID measures this month. “We cannot continue to suspend duly enacted laws and treat COVID-19 as a public health emergency indefinitely. After two years, it’s no longer feasible or necessary,” Reynolds said. “The flu and other infectious illnesses are part of our everyday lives, and coronavirus can be managed similarly.”

Politicians are realizing that this cannot continue. There is nothing left to do to distract or lie to the people. The jig is up. Omicron was a blessing in disguise as its rapid transmission amid minimal side effects caused people to realize that coronavirus was not a death sentence. Triple-vaccinated individuals contracted and transmitted the virus, dispelling the illusion that the vaccine mandate produces any benefits for public health.

Kelly Garcia, director of the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), also noted how it is responsible for medical teams to return to pre-pandemic responsibilities as the focus on the coronavirus has left holes in the healthcare system. Garcia stated that reporting for the coronavirus will be similar to reporting for other respiratory viruses. The state will decommission coronavirus.iowa.gov and vaccinateiowa.gov by February 16.

In the fall of 2021, Dr. Ponesse saw her academic career of 20 years fall apart after she refused to comply with a Canadian university’s COVID vaccine mandate. In response, Dr. Ponesse recorded a special video directed to her first-year ethics students. That video went viral.

Since the release of that video, Dr. Ponesse has joined The Democracy Fund as the Pandemic Ethics Scholar focusing on educating the public on civil liberties.  Yesterday she joined Jordan Peterson for a discussion of the current situation in Canada, the Freedom Protests and what might lay ahead.  WATCH:

Canadian Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre Announces His Bid for leadership


Posted originally on the conservative tree House on February 5, 2022 | Sundance | 134 Comments

After the collapse of support for Erin O’Toole, and his removal from leadership, Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre announced Saturday he will be running for the Conservative Party’s leadership.  WATCH:

Canadian Treepers, what do you think?

Is this guy the one who can make the difference?

CANADA – […] Poilievre, 42, becomes the first candidate seeking to replace Erin O’Toole, who was voted out as leader earlier this week.

Born in Calgary, Poilievre has been MP for the Ottawa riding of Carleton since 2004, and held a number of cabinet positions under then Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

[…]  Poilievre gained a number of endorsements minutes after announcing his candidacy on Saturday.

In reply to his tweet, former cabinet minister John Baird got behind his onetime caucus colleague, writing that Poilievre “has the brains and the backbone and will make a great Prime Minister. I am beyond thrilled to endorse him!”

A number of MPs have also started to endorse Poilievre, including Ontario’s Melissa Lantsman, who was elected in the fall.

“No question — Pierre is the answer to a strong & united Conservative Party,” Lantsman said in a tweet.

Alberta MP John Barlow was also quick to back Poilievre.

“He understands the issues facing western Canadians,” Barlow said in a video posted on Twitter. (read more)

Joe Rogan Apologizes for Being Joe Rogan Begs Woke Forgiveness


Posted originally on the Conservative tree House on February 5, 2022 | Sundance | 39 Comments

This never ends well.

Joe Rogan has self-flagellated while treading water in a pool of Alinsky piranhas.

This never ends well.

Apparently, the Lightbringer for all modern Alinsky tribal followers, Barack Obama, triggered the final thumbs down and threatened the financial mechanism that supported the embattled Mr. Rogan, Spotify Inc. {LINK}

With the twitch of his pinkie ring, Teh One, the bringer of all racial and progressive enlightenment, Barack Obama, forced the ashamed and humiliated Joe Rogan to kneel before the altar of wokeism and apologize for the mortal sin of using the “N” word.

Earlier on Saturday Mr. Rogan assessed his bank account, glanced at the tin cup and used Woke-Insta to profess his sins and beg forgiveness from the leftist tribe. {View Here}

In an effort to avoid his cancellation, Joe Rogan denounced his skin color, renounced his former shameful conduct and announced his new enlightenment.  Rogan predictably declared the oft familiar last ditch effort phrase, “this is a teachable moment.”

Quickly Joe Rogan’s newly subscribed conservative audience was warm to appreciate his humility and offer their forgiveness.  However, that tribe is not the Spotify audience who manage the coliseum of his indentured servitude.  Despite their protestations to the contrary, the progressive and enlightened woke tribe never relent until they have achieved their goal; the removal of all Joe Rogan flesh and death by ten thousand screaming piranha bites.

For the professional and political left, apology is weakness.  Weakness must be punished.  The Alinsky clan bait their victims with the false promises of forgiveness; if you just cower strongly enough, bend meekly enough, apologize sincerely enough, it will be okay.  But forgiveness is never provided, it is never okay.

The millions of dollars that Joe Rogan might be worth to the corporation known as Spotify are irrelevant to the swarm.  Indeed, the mob view higher value as a challenge, a new height for the wokeness to achieve.  Rogan just bled into the pool of that swarm.  There is no exit now.

The professional political left does not control media in all forms as a business proposition, for them it is a weapon.   Rogan’s financial value to Spotify means naught – his cancellation is only a matter of time and contractual exit.

He’s done; another sacrifice on the altar of Wokeism.  Joe Rogan stuck the fork in himself, another irrelevant notch on the belt to be forgotten with hundreds, if not thousands, of previous notches.  Everything now is simply a formality.

We’ve seen this cancellation show too many times to pretend we don’t know how it ends.

(The Hill) – Podcaster Joe Rogan apologized on Saturday for his repeated past use of racial slurs.

“There’s been a lot of shit from the old episodes of the podcast that I wish I hadn’t said, or had said differently. This is my take on the worst of it,” Rogan said in the caption of an almost five-minute video posted on Instagram.

Recently, Rogan has faced controversy as multiple musical artists have called on Spotify to stop streaming their songs over COVID-19 misinformation on his popular podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” to which the streaming service purchased exclusive rights.

One of the artists, India Arie, posted a compilation video showing Rogan using the n-word on his podcast. Video also showed the podcaster making a joke about the movie “Planet of the Apes” after he was dropped off in a Black neighborhood. 

“There’s nothing I can do to take that back. I wish I could. Obviously, that’s not possible,” Rogan stated. “I certainly wasn’t trying to be racist, and I certainly would never want to offend someone for entertainment with something as stupid as racism.”  (read more)

India Arie didn’t create that compilation video.  She was just a vessel to deliver it.  The bringer of all racial enlightenment, and organizer of all political leverage, created that ‘worst of Joe Rogan’ compilation video, with purpose.

My prediction on how this story likely ends….

For these characters it’s all about money. That is the rule.  Everything is about money; everything.  That is the currency of the leverage and ideology.  For a small indulgency fee (paid by Spotify), Teh One will appear on Rogan’s podcast, and watch how quickly all things around Joe Rogan modify – including his voice.

Just a guess.
