The mayhem in Portland where leftist rioters have been trying to destroy the federal courthouse for more than 65 days running, inadvertently gives us the biggest clue about who Black Lives Matter and Antifa members really are.
Proof of who BLM and their anarchist sidekicks are came last night when they burned Bibles in downtown Portland.
‘How long has hatred of religion burned in the heart of the Democrat Party?
The Democrat-run KKK burnt crosses. The Democrat-run BLM burn Bibles, and American flags.
Folk should be asking ‘How long has hatred of religion burned in the heart of the Democrat Party?
Where is the Democrat outrage about the burning of Bibles and American flags on this, the morning after?
Anybody?
“Leftists are showing their contempt for America and her virtue by burning Bibles and American flags outside the federal courthouse in Portland. The rioters have been attempting to destroy the federal courthouse on a nightly basis. But ever since federal law enforcement officers arrived to stop rioters from burning down the courthouse, the rioters have been starting smaller fires in order to burn other symbols of their derision. On Friday night, that included Bibles and the American flag. (Town Hall, Aug. 1, 2020)
“The night before, rioters severed a pig’s head, put a police hat on it, placed the pig’s head on top of an American flag and then lit it all on fire.
“Portland police found an abandoned pig back in the early days of the riots. Police believe protesters planned to kill the animal and similarly use its body to make some sort of disgusting political message about hating cops.
Black Lives Matter doesn’t care about Black Lives or any other Human Lives, including aborted babies
“Deputies with the U.S. Marshals and officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Federal Protective Service have been working hard to protect the Hatfield Federal Courthouse in downtown Portland on a nightly basis.
“Oregon Democratic Gov. Kate Brown struck a deal with the Trump administration earlier this week, whereby federal officers will begin to withdrawal from downtown Portland as state agencies attempt to provide enforcement on their own. But Democratic leaders have consistently sided with the protestors, ignoring the violence and the threat and safety the riots pose to members of the community.
Did Democrats supply the rioters with Bibles to burn, or did the rioters steal them from their Grannies?
Did Democrats supply the rioters with a live pig to decapitate?
Is this really 2020, or some other uncivilized dark time from ancient history?
Black Lives Matter doesn’t care about Black Lives or any other Human Lives, including aborted babies.
BLM is not true to its cause—justice for the death of George Floyd, who by the way, identified as a Christian.
School teachers are said to be the driving force behind Antifa
CLAIM: “Teachers are the number one occupation of the antifa terrorist organization according to the FBI.” (AP, July 9, 2020)
“AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. There is no evidence that teachers make up an outsized portion of antifa, a shorthand term for “anti-fascists.” The FBI told The Associated Press it “has not made any such statements about the occupations of people who are attracted to particular ideologies.”
THE FACTS: As early as November 2019, posts online have alleged that the FBI says the most common profession for an antifa activist to have is schoolteacher.”
Videos here show that some school teachers while out rioting have been charged with felonies.
Democrats don’t just condone violence by continuing to look the other way, they are an active part of it
Could this be why teachers don’t want children returned to school in September during the run of the Coronavirus threat?
Would Antifa teachers rather be rioting than teaching in the classroom, but getting paid all the same?
Bottom line: Democrats don’t just condone violence by continuing to look the other way, they are an active part of it.
A former East Bay college philosophy professor who was charged with four counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon, causing great bodily injury, has taken a deal resulting in three years of probation for an attack at a Berkeley protest last year, court records reveal.
Eric Clanton had been linked by police to violent assaults with a metal bike lock during a “free speech” rally in Berkeley on April 15, 2017. Before his arrest, Clanton had been “outed” online, on the website 4chan, as someone who used a bike lock to strike a man in the head. The assault was captured in a video clip (below) that drew widespread attention and anger after it was posted on YouTube.
(BLM founders L-R, Opal Tometi, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, Alicia Garza; Marx photo, “China In The Throes Of the Cultural Revolution,” Louis Barcata, 1967)
“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so defined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.” (“Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung,” Peking, 1967)
The Chinese Cultural Revolution was “mass murder of a country’s heritage”. (Enemies of the People, Anne F. Thurston, 1987, p. 105).
This is the third article in a series (links to 1 & 2) that compares today’s American Cancel Culture Revolution to China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1962-1976).
In the mid-1960’s, teaching the history of Communism in America’s public schools generally went from seldom to hardly ever. It declined further after the official collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) on 31 December 1991. Today’s BLM/Antifa street “protesters” likely know nothing about the combined body count of Stalin’s Russia and Mao’s China.
Cancel Culture’s Political Ideology
Karl Marx, who likeness (above) is carried by China’s Red Guards, was the ideological founder of Communism. The three founders of Black Lives Matter (BLM) are self-described Marxist-Leninists ideologues. They may know what that means, but most of their street puppets don’t have a clue.
Marxist-Maoist is a more operationally-accurate moniker. The BLM/Antifa mobs more closely mirror the havoc of China’s Red Guard than they do of Russia’s Red Guards (Krasnaya Gvardiya) who were armed workers who took to the streets during the 1917 Russian Revolution. They were the street muscle for the Bolsheviks.
Politicians Support Riots
Democratic Party leadership kneels and bows in support of America’s Cancel Culture Revolution. They are its political-class base.
The Chinese Cultural Revolution was led by China’s Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong. His was the only support the Revolution needed.
Hatred Focused – Then Fed
China: On May 25, 1966 Nie Yuanzi, a female academic at Beijing University, put-up this big character poster titled “Ignite the Cultural Revolution in the universities.” It worked. In part, it read:
“At present, the people of the whole nation, in a soaring revolutionary spirit that manifests boundless love for the Party and Chairman Mao, and their inveterate hatred for the sinister anti-Party anti-socialist gang, are making a vigorous and great Cultural Revolution. They are struggling thoroughly to smash the attacks of the reactionary sinister gang, in defense of the Party’s Central Committee and Chairman Mao…All revolutionary intellectuals, now is the time to go into battle! Let us unite, holding high the great red banner of Mao Zedong Thought.”
America: The U.S equivalent to Nie’s poster was the photo, that went viral, of a Minneapolis Police Officer with his knee on the neck of George Floyd.
America’s version of China’s big character posters is the giant sign painted on a street near the White House. And elsewhere.
Red Guards Born In The Academe
China: “It was among China’s young that Nie Yuanzi’s big character poster struck the most resonant chord, the young who has provided the movement with its most enthusiastic support. For the Cultural Revolution was for the students in China’s middle schools [last 3 yrs. pre-college] and universities a truly exciting opportunity to demonstrate that they were revolutionary through and through.” (Enemies of the People, p. 158)
Why was it easy for China to recruit students as Red Guards? Easy answer: They were prepped for it.
“Following Liberation (1949), the Communist Party of China had moved cautiously but inexorably to take control of the country’s universities…t’s efforts, within the universities were directed on the one hand to instilling everyone within them with a basic foundation in the Marxist-Leninist ideology that would guide the new government’s policies and on the other toward reforming the thought of the older, more senior university faculty…”[T]he thought campaign stood as a harbinger of the politics that would become increasingly frequent in the decade and more to come: the politics of persecution and slander, the politics, alas, of hate.” (Enemies of the People, p. 59)
America: Where does all the hatred from screaming young, mostly white, adults on the streets of Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis, New York, and other American cities come from?
Answer: From several sources, but largely from (1) public K-12 education and universities staffed by professors with an overwhelmingly progressive, socialist, political bias; and, (2) a media –—entertainment, print, and televised—that, since the election of Trump, finds little to herald as of valuable in America.
The Progressive Movement began capturing America’s educational system seven decades before the Chinese Communist Party moved in that direction after coming to power in 1949.
According to MarketWatch.com, the book on economics most frequently assigned today to American college students is The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx. With half as many, the second most assigned is Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations.
Intimidation by Guilt Shaming
Unlike the virtue-signaling of America’s overtly pro-BLM companies, and professional sports teams, in Mao’s China virtue-signaling didn’t win favor with the Red Guards. Showing weakness was, generally, not rewarded.
Absent Law Enforcement Fans the Flames
China (America): “The military (local police departments)…intervened more often on the side of order than on the side of the left..[W]hen commanders (Police Chiefs) of the Peoples Liberation Army ordered their troops to fire on revolutionary rebels [mid-1967] and denounced the rebels (BLM/Antifa) as counterrevolutionaries, the central military leadership (Mayor, City Council) in Peking prohibited the military of further use of weapons against the revolutionaries…The result of the reining in of the military was the eruption and spread of violence and disorder.” (Enemies of the People, pp. 190-191)
Where Does Operational Funding Originate
China: Funding for China’s Red Guards was not difficult. No Uber fees. No hotel bills. Only a few inexpensive restaurants. Often only with the clothing on their backs. They traveled light and cheap. Today’s Red Guards with phones and helmets would not last three days in China’s Red Guards.
In China, they traveled for free on the trains. Often walked long distances between cities and villages. Frequently invited themselves into the homes of those they perceived as counterrevolutionaries, taking their food, and anything of value they wanted. No police interference.
Consequently, they plundered with impunity. At times, their destructive behavior brought impoverishment, and, in some cases, even death from the sustained beatings of many Chinese. And that prompted numerous suicides.
America: Where does the money come from to fund BLM/Antifa?
That’s next. Meanwhile…
There is no straighter path to destroy a nation’s culture than to render its people ignorant of their history. And America is well on the way there.
No, I am not saying that every parent’s child is a communist. What I am saying is that there are enough young people out there with either an affinity or a sympathy for the communist system to make us all very concerned. The polls show it, the rioting proves it.
According to a 2019 Gallup poll, 51% of adults, 18 to 29 view socialism positively, while 49% view capitalism positively.
Parents, especially of strong Christian faith, can hardly believe what comes out of the mouths of their children. College-age young adults go into university as bright eyed, eager-to-learn fledglings and come out bitter, angry, under achievers.
Why so much of our youth has turned to Communism/Socialism
Why so much of our youth has turned to Communism/Socialism is a story of the last 100 years. Please, don’t give me that Democratic-Socialist drivel. It’s just another Leftist slogan to misdirect.
A group of Marxist intellectuals in the 1920s got together in Germany with the purpose of spreading the Russian Communist Revolution in the West, especially in America. This group of Marxists founded the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt to study ways and methods to spread communism. It became known as the Frankfurt School.
At the same time, Hitler was running roughshod over Germany with his fascism, much of it copied from Mussolini in Italy. Although fascism and communism are kissing cousins, each had a different scapegoat. Communism used class, fascism used race. In any case, Hitler wasn’t going to have it. He wanted no competition.
By 1933, Hitler had those who were involved in the Frankfurt School deported. They found a welcome home at Columbia University in New York City. They realized early on that what worked in Russia was not going to be accepted in the West, certainly in the United States, because of its strong Judeo-Christian roots and its vast middle-class…the group of people who were not rich, but definitely not poor. The middle-class had little reason to revolt. They had cars, homes with white picket fences, and were clinging to their guns and religion.
These subversives decided, brilliantly, that breaking down the culture was needed for the populous to accept communism. It included breaking down the Christian foundation, destroying the family structure, feminism, sex education, promoting atheism, hedonism, free sex, abortion, homosexuality, mass migration, globalism, multiculturalism, environmentalism, you name it. They advanced anything that would destroy the traditional family, culture and our moral foundation. Their goal was to set people free to drift, leaving generations of people with no anchor with which to tie on to accept the promise of a collectivist utopia.
It spread to every major university, junior college, high school, middle school, elementary school, and in many cases, preschool. There is an Institute for Social Research in almost every major university in the United States. Their teaching has been disguised in subjects like Critical Theory, a tool to demonize Christianity, capitalism, and Western civilization. Every student in almost every school today is being exposed to this trash, and in a positive light. Considering the basement level of morality now taught in our schools, Hollywood, and in many modern homes, it is no wonder so many of the young are breaking windows, shooting cops, destroying private property, knocking down statues of people their teachers taught them to hate and some they don’t even know.
The education system in America today has the stench of almost 100 years of indoctrination akin to re-education camps in communist filth
The education system in America today has the stench of almost 100 years of indoctrination akin to re-education camps in communist filth. Several generations lost to ignorance and degradation. Disneyland has LGBTQ Day, teachers are being fired or subject to a Reign Of Terror for being conservative, resisting the new morality, the new normal. Students are punished academically and socially for not joining in the sedition. Many libraries and even some U.S. embassies fly the homosexual flag. Most students are not taught anything close to the American history we were taught. And when they are taught our history, it is in a negative context.
Those political leaders whose lust for power has overruled their desire for public service has now taken over a major part of our political and judicial system, and almost an entire political party. These are the 60s terrorists and their children, and students. They watch quietly with approval as people are murdered and cities are torn apart as they scheme how to use the crisis to their advantage. Only mere pockets of sanity are left. Meanwhile the people in the media, Hollywood, and the Deep State, having attended the same miserable schools, equally indoctrinated, give their blessing. And all the while the church in America says and does what it has done for generations…nothing.
There may not have been a communist behind every bush like Joe McCarthy had us believe, but take a look now. Old Joe was right after all.
The battle of Fort McHenry was a critical point in the War of 1812. Many people know that our national anthem stemmed from the valiant defense of Fort McHenry by American troops who refused to concede Baltimore harbor and withstood 27 hours of continual bombardment by British naval forces beginning Sept 13, 1814. The short story is HERE
Two-hundred-six years later, there is a lesson to be learned.
[Part of the Korean War Memorial – Washington DC]
Right now those who wish to “fundamentally change” our nation are waging a full frontal assault against our constitutional republic. The bombardment seems overwhelming.
Leftist city and state leaders have abandoned rule of law in favor of supporting the mob effort to destroy our sense of national unity. Political activists, left-wing ideologues under the guise of democrats, and a host of media allies are conducting an information war on behalf of their objective. Big tech social media companies are attempting to remove the voices of those who are fighting back.
There is a great deal of purposefully driven anxiety and fear amid our nation as this multi-faceted internal war takes place. However, there is a primary element to this effort that each person can shield themselves from, and act to counter. Do not let your sense of self succumb to this assault. Do not let them win the battle for your peace of mind.
It might, heck, -check that- it does seem overwhelming at times. But that is the nature of this collectivist strategy. That is the purpose of this bombardment. We must hold strong and push back against their lies and manipulations. If you look closely at their attack, it is weak and much of it is psychological bait. Do not fall into the trap of despair.
When I share the message “live your best life”, it is not without purpose. Every moment that we allow the onslaught to deter us from living our dreams, is a moment those who oppose our nation view as us taking a knee. Do not allow this effort to succeed.
You might ask yourself how can I, one person, a flea looking into a furnace, retain an optimistic disposition while all around me seems chaotic and mad.
That’s the point; it ‘seems’ chaotic and mad because it has been created to appear that way. There are more of us than them; they just control the systems that allow us to connect, share messages and recognize the scale of our assembly.
Every second that you live your life with thankfulness for the abundance within it; every moment that we CHOOSE to engage with fellowship; every day that we accept guidance from God – however you define him to be; and every moment we cherish this time to be a beacon of optimism; is a moment that we withstand that barrage and hold the flag in place. It is a genuinely patriotic position not to succumb to the attack.
If you allow yourself to be drawn into crisis and despair, you allow them to win. If your center of normal is based around this overwhelming onslaught, you will eventually concede liberty in favor of peace. Once we stop living in liberty, we no longer have peace.
It took me a while to fully understand just how damaging empty streets, soulless eyes, the lack of smiles, shuttered businesses and the absence of joy would become. But as I travel around trying to deliver a very specific message to a very specific audience, I now recognize just how much damage is being done; not just to our nation as a whole, but also to every individual within it – personally.
We must shake this mindset. We must withstand this onslaught and rally to the origin of our true national spirit. We must rally to a standard of Americanism and accept this is not that. In essence, we must individually take a stand. Purposefully, deliberately and with forethought, we must engage those around us to get rid of this sense of foreboding.
This approach is how we win the larger battle.
All around us, in every tribe and region, there are people who need you to show them the strength that you have. Strength of spirit. Strength of fellowship that you will not relent from expressing. No matter what noise is shouting from the loudspeakers we must withstand it; we must make eye contact and remain joyful. We cannot allow despair to be the status quo.
In my own travel, right into the belly of the beast, I have encountered some of the most morose robotic people I could ever imagine; yet each night I held up my mission in prayer and promised to accept guidance regardless of my own fears and trepidation. Trust me, this ain’t easy for me…. through my research, I have torn open the dungeon doors and stared into the dark space; and yes, the scale of it sticks with you; it manifests as cynicism.
So, let me share two recent short-examples of what following that guidance actually means.
The second night in DC, I woke up with this horrible taste in my mouth. Teeth brushing didn’t help… wearing a mask or facing a $500 fine didn’t help either and perhaps was the cause. Regardless, I asked a gentleman for the location to a convenience store to purchase some mints to chew throughout the day. I was directed to a specific store.
When I made my purchase, the mask on the other side of the counter was as sad as many that day, but I felt compelled to ask how she was doing. The typical “been better” was the return. However, as I started to walk away… I turned back: “what’s wrong”? For the next few minutes I listened as I met a mom of four kids who was 15 days from a COVID-based eviction. There was really no-one to blame; and worse, for her no-where to turn. She was looking for housing grants to avoid the most painful decision in her short 30-year-life.
You see, there was a reason why I went into that store that afternoon, at least that’s what I told her; and there was a reason why she was there. In part with your support, and after putting all other tasks in the appropriately unimportant place they deserved, WE (yes, you and me) together found a solution and provided the resources she needed. Starfish dude strikes again… this time with His help and your help.
It would have been very easy to walk out and accept that simple: “been better”. Heck, I think of all the times I have done that before…. but not this time. This time something nagged about it…. and so I turned around and found tears, fellowship – and mints.
The next day another stroll, a little lost, and a veteran on the street… I can’t tell you his story because that’s for another day… but it is just as important and just as profound. As I walked away from him many minutes later he yelled at me: “HEY DUDE”. I turned my unmasked smile back in his direction only to have him say: “we need more people like you in charge”… Thumbs up, and I continued my travels.
Which is really the point of writing all this. Our nation needs more people like you, right now. Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic however you need to do it. Then let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again. God knows we need it.
Oh, and don’t call me a goober for sharing this – I’m doing it because a smart lawyer, a genuinely decent young man who I met along this specific road less traveled, told me to write about it…. and, perhaps, because I sense he might have needed to hear it too.
“Stop the Press!” Cease everything you’ve been doing to try to get by in a government-imposed Lockdown, Grind everything down to a halt: Self-appointed “Resistance” leader ex-President Barack Obama is in “shock” and pissed off—all because President Donald Trump stoked an ‘anti-Asian sentiment when he referred to coronavirus as the ‘kung flu’ and ‘Chinese virus’.
“‘That still shocks and pisses me off,’ Obama said of the comments, adding that he hoped the seriousness of what he was saying was resonating through the screen.” (Daily Mail, July 30, 2020)
That some 78 percent of Americans believe that coronavirus is the fault of China seems to have flown straight over the head of the oft media-described “smartest guy in the room”.
Getting to work Obama-style means dialing for digital dollars with actor/activist George Clooney
Obama made the stoking anti-Asian Trump accusation in an event with LinkedIn Founder Reid Hoffman.
‘We already saw this guy win once,’ he said. ‘After he bragged about physically assaulting women — and that didn’t seem to matter. So, enough said. Let’s get to work.’ (Daily Mail)
Getting to work Obama-style means with actor/activist George Clooney to fundraise for his ex-VP presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, Joe Biden.
“On Tuesday, he told Clooney that fears of voter suppression and an effort by Trump to question the legitimacy of the election is stopping him from sleeping.” (Daily Mail)
Folks left sleepless in Seattle because of months-long violence by Black Lives Matter and antifa posing as “peaceful protesters”, nor the millions lying awake at night wondering if they’ll ever be let out from lockdown to get back to their jobs don’t matter, only Barack Obama does.
“Barack Obama has brought up sex assault allegations against Donald Trump, slammed the president’s ‘nativist, racist and sexist’ agenda and told George Clooney the November 2020 election keeps him up at night during a series of fundraisers for Joe Biden. (Daily Mail)
“Over the last two months, the former president has been dialing into virtual chats for Democrat donors, who pay up to $250,000 a ticket, in a bid to help his former VP win the White House.
Obama made a series of scathing attacks without mentioning Trump by name
“During similar events over the last few weeks, that have raised $24million, Obama also mentioned accusations of Trump ‘assaulting women’, according to the New York Times.
“In conversation with the billionaire Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, during that event he spoke out on the state of American democracy under the current administration, even making a loose reference to Nazi Germany.
“He made the scathing series of attacks without mentioning Trump by name.
“Since leaving office Obama has largely refrained from publicly criticizing his predecessor by name.
“During his conversation with Pritzker, Obama spoke out about how Donald Trump has a support base that ‘filters out any contradictory information.’
“‘It’s just glued to Fox News and Breitbart and Limbaugh and just this conservative echo chamber — and so, they’re going to turn out to vote,’ Obama said, according to the Times.
“‘What he has unleashed and what he continues to try to tap into is the fears and anger and resentment of people who, in some cases, really are having a tough time and have seen their prospects, or communities where they left, declining. And Trump tries to tap into that and redirect in nativist, racist, sexist ways,’ he continued.
“Obama also criticized Trump’s seeming obsession with the preservation of Confederate monuments during the coronavirus pandemic, calling it ‘his number one priority’ which ‘gives you a sense of what this is about’.
“‘The endpoint of that we saw in Europe 60 years ago, 70 years ago — what happens when those things get unleashed,’ he said, in a seeming opaque reference to Nazi Germany. ‘If you don’t nip that in the bud, bad things can happen. Among the most quote, unquote civilized societies.’”
Comically enough, during his Clooney event, Obama was routinely interrupted by a dog barking, while Clooney appeared to have the same problem, even accidentally muting himself on occasion.
“According to event attendees, after the former president asked him a question, Clooney apologized for the barking and joked that his dogs ‘must be Tea Party members because every time you started talking about Obamacare’ the barking would start.” (Daily Mail)
Right!
Maybe it was, Obama’s handpicked presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, who, in desperate attempts at publicity, barked like a dog back in the 2016 campaign.
Hillary Clinton Imitates Barking Dog
Nightmare Obama’s pushing called ‘President Joe Biden’
For sure, Clooney’s dogs are all Democrat, as would be Obama’s dogs that we never hear about anymore.
Meanwhile, Obama’s not the only one not sleeping at night from worry about the November 2020 because millions are losing sleep about the nightmare he’s pushing called ‘President Joe Biden’.
The impact of Coronavirus is far worse than most can imagine. GDP dropped 32% during the 2nd-quarter which is a new historical record surpassing every recession and the Great Depression of both the 19th and 20th centuries. The epidemiologists cannot be this stupid. The people who have died because of a lack of healthcare during this trumped-up pandemic is serious. Many have been denied healthcare and others have been afraid to even go to the hospital. I myself went to the ER and ended up in a COVID wing for two days and it took two negative tests to get out. Everything has become COVID. In Florida, a young man killed in a motorcycle accident ended up on the death list of COVID. The numbers are being manipulated and the fraud is massive.
As wave two appears with the next flu season, the media has beaten this into such an insane pandemic you would think it was the Black Plague with a 50% mortality rate. The last half of 2020 will get worse. They are using this for political objectives. Any doctor who stands up against this manipulation is attacked and then they roll out a fake study to claim they are wrong. When I was called in as an “expert” to be exploited to create the G5 back in 1985, I saw this was all a joke and so I wrote to President Regan. I was told that I would never be called again because I went out of the committee. I was told to be a good boy, produce studies they tell you the conclusion, and I would make a few million a year. Studies are worthless! Try to find a real one is next to impossible. They all have been paid for to achieve a political objective.
We have consumer confidence in crash mode, GDP in crash mode, and these people think they will be able to put it all back together by just defeating Trump. There is no going back. The country has been irrevocably divided and the ultimate end result will be the break-up of the United States. The left seeks to impose their will and subjugate everyone to their demands. They do not believe in individual freedom, the pursuit of happiness, and certainly not any democratic process. It is their way or no way!
Never attribute malice to that which can be explained by the bureaucracy of the system; perhaps that is the biggest lesson learned from my recent travels and briefings.
As incredible as it might sound, those who run government investigations do not necessarily have their arms around the specifics, or the bigger picture. It is quite amazing to talk to people who have been in the proverbial weeds for years only to realize the rag-tag-misfits have more comprehensive information systems than multi-million government enterprises.
So too should this message serve as a warning. Again, as incredulous as it sounds, do not ever believe those who control the levers of power have more information than you. This is a jaw-dropping experience on the level of disconnect.
Perhaps it would be apropos to think of information as a kiosk map in a large mall. Lots of data, but if the “you are here” dot is missing; it is not much benefit. The briefing material starts from the ‘you are here‘ and explains the events. Everything reconciles. Everything is documented, attested and sworn. Unfortunately, I have yet to encounter anyone who put it all together….. until now.
Perhaps when/if a book is ever written about this time, the most compelling story-line will come from how a dedicated small team with a few thousand dollars were able to go up against tens of millions of corrupt interests. Oh, and we have TRUTH, so we are indeed winning despite the scale.
On some details, thank you to those who have supported this effort. When it is all over you will likely be surprised just how far and comprehensively we have traveled to ensure failure did not become an option.
There is still a possibility, albeit much smaller than a few weeks ago, that Durham/Barr may not generate the outcome desired. Therefore the Phase-1 (briefing) effort will continue and the preparation for engaging in Phase-2 (large scale) will continue.
Indications from recent DOJ comments certainly imply a shift in the narrative. There is a lot more confidence and you are likely seeing the downstream effect in various appearances and broadcasts. The shift is very real. The activity in the background is very real; and while the details are very sensitive – we are directly in line-of-sight to the activity.
Many people are now referencing the possibilities of ongoing ‘grand juries’, I would say nothing to diminish that outlook. The signs are all in the exactly correct place; and the most important name remains invisible. That’s a good indicator because it shows how tight the process is; and how no leaks have surfaced. We continue to monitor that aspect.
REMINDER – […] We are a nation of liberty loving independent and free-thinking people; born under a compact to allow each to live their lives according to their own purpose. Do not abdicate the duty to protect individual liberty to anyone except yourself.
Your dreams are unique to you.
In the coming weeks you will see more about what CTH can do to support you. There is a network of allied interests working diligently; and we will succeed. I can feel it.
The challenge with the briefing material, developed over several years, is that it cannot be absorbed by reading it. There has to be a guide to walk through it as the person is absorbing the content. That originating guide has been me.
Once briefed, and with the documents in hand, each person then has the skills to see the story; and the next step in completely understanding any story is to teach it. That’s going to eventually be your task. You only need to reach 10 people. One becomes 10, becomes 100, becomes 1,000, becomes 10,000 etc…
Having completed a series of murder-board sessions, test sessions on the briefing material itself, by putting it up against all comers including critics and naysayers; the next phase of sharing the information with those in a position to take action is well underway. The secondary goal of this phase-1 was to ensure that powerful interests, including John Durham, are aware that we know what this story is about and that we will not allow this evidence to be hidden. This tripwire has been crossed.
I am confident because the content of the brief is demonstrably true. However, the most important part to remember is that the truth is not dependent on any person; it just exists.
Once through this phase; and if everything goes according to a plan; you will have an opportunity to have someone, perhaps me, visit YOU and brief you and your friends. Then, you and your friends receive copies of the brief and go forward.
[more details will be coming; it is dynamic, cost effective and no-one makes a dime]
However, it is now possible that aspect will not be needed as forcefully. Again, it depends on what those who are in power do with the information. If they respond weakly, or if they do not respond at all (very unlikely) then we activate. I am increasingly optimistic this material is being directly addressed.
However, the stakes are too high to leave anything to chance. Wherever they are, I go…. on any moment’s notice I drop everything to conduct briefings requested by anyone who can influence action. Information without action is antithetical to its purpose.
People have referenced Paul Revere in many posts recently; but that’s not really an appropriate view….. I consider myself the “friend” who hung the lantern in the loft of the North Church Tower; the lantern is the briefing material; you are Paul Revere.
Prepare to ride.
Every second that you live your life with thankfulness for the abundance within it; every moment that we CHOOSE to engage with fellowship; every day that we accept guidance from God – however you define him to be; and every moment we cherish this time to be a beacon of optimism; is a moment that we withstand that barrage and hold the flag in place. It is a genuinely patriotic position not to succumb to the attack.
If you allow yourself to be drawn into crisis and despair, you allow them to win. If your center of normal is based around this overwhelming onslaught, you will eventually concede liberty in favor of peace. Once we stop living in liberty, we no longer have peace.
It took me a while to fully understand just how damaging empty streets, soulless eyes, the lack of smiles, shuttered businesses and the absence of joy would become. But as I travel around trying to deliver a very specific message to a very specific audience, I now recognize just how much damage is being done; not just to our nation as a whole, but also to every individual within it – personally.
We must shake this mindset. We must withstand this onslaught and rally to the origin of our true national spirit. We must rally to a standard of Americanism and accept this is not that. In essence, we must individually take a stand. Purposefully, deliberately and with forethought, we must engage those around us to get rid of this sense of foreboding.
This approach is how we win the larger battle.
Our nation needs more people like you, right now. Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic however you need to do it. Then let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again.
President Trump needs to break up the leftist Silicon Valley social media monopolies.
He should break up Amazon while he’s at it. The globalist billionaires running their monopolies claim they own platforms for communication. The moguls sometimes compare what they do to the phone companies. Those who operate the phone companies are not responsible for what callers say. OH wait…the social media moguls said they only provided the platforms and they weren’t publishers, but now they are. They are editors, too. Conservatives, Q-followers, anti-vaxxers, and Christians are among those facing suspensions, deletions, and outright bans.
Imagine the phone companies not liking what you say and so you can no longer use your phone.
It’s the same with the Internet town square. Outright tyrants are controlling it. Now they are blatantly trying to control the upcoming presidential election and they don’t want Trump to win again.
I’m told that if people don’t like getting banned, they should simply build their own social media platform. Yeah, sure. Most people don’t have the few billion dollars required to build an infrastructure. Even if they did, it’s nearly impossible to get others to break ingrained habits such as Facebook. A few alternative social media platforms are sprouting here and there, such as Parler.com, but they are nowhere at the level of the Big Tech monopolies.
When the super rich get super duper rich, they want to buy influence and control people. They want to control the world. Computer nerd Bill Gates is accomplishing this right now. Jeff Bezos turned the Washington Post into his personal anti-Trump blog. The social media moguls are controlling us by means of blatant censorship. They are monopoly men that own most of the Internet today and now they want to control minds, even if it means the destruction of our First Amendment.
It’s disgusting and they must be stopped. They have the financial might, but that doesn’t make them right.
COMMENT: DO YOU HONESTLY THINK YOU OR SOCRATES CAN SAVE THE WORLD ?
WELL MAYBE YOU CAN IF YOU GET ALL THESE BILLIONAIRES TOGETHER! IM SURE MANY OF THEM ARE NOT ON THE GLOBAL GREEN SOCIALIST SIDE!
WHATS STOPPING YOU…?
CK
REPLY: You completely misunderstand what is possible. Nobody can save the world. We MUST go through this crash and burn. It’s just time! The very best that Socrates can offer is a new way to manage the world after 2032. I will not be around for that. We must reach an understanding that we are all connected; politicians cannot promise anything when it goes against the global trend.
These billionaires are not capable of saving the world. Some are involved in trying to force their agenda upon society and this is part of the very mechanism that will accelerate the crash and burn. Nevertheless, this does NOT suggest that we all must suffer. If you understand what is coming, you can dodge the punch. If I say, “Here is my fist. I am going to punch you in the jaw. Watch — here it comes!” Do you stand there and do nothing, or do you dodge the punch, block it, or try to defend yourself?
Socrates will do what no human can do by providing an objective dispassionate projection. It has done pretty good on everything from the new highs in the stock market from 2009 that Barron’s commented on, only because they thought it was a stupid forecast, on June 25, 2011: “Buy Signal: An esoteric theory based on cycles that relate to the ratio pi recently signaled the start of a long-term market uptrend.” Socrates has also forecast separatist movements, Brexit and Trump victories, rising civil unrest right down to picking April for the peak of the virus just to mention a handful. Of course, the press is not interested in actually reporting on its success, for they do not want people to listen to anything I say or Socrates. That is just the agenda.
The objective here is to help those willing to be helped. We cannot change the course of history. REFORM will ONLY come after the crash and burn. Those in power will never admit defeat as long as they can still breathe. Look at Snowden. He exposed that the government was acting illegally, informing the people, and they call this treason because they were caught. They will kill Snowden in a heartbeat. Nobody stands a chance against them when they have a 99% conviction rate which beat even Adolf Hitler’s most notorious court against the Jews with a conviction rate of 90%.
Sorry! I cannot prevent what is happening and I have no interest in trying to convince billionaires who also have to learn the hard way. It is impossible to get billionaires to counteract the trend. Gates and Soros may appear to be in control, but they are going with the trend — not creating it. Our fate was set in motion before they even made their first $100.
There is no point in you reading this blog or subscribing to Socrates. You have misconceived the entire objective. People believe what they want to believe.
Earlier today President Trump met with the family of service member SPC Vanessa Guillen who was brutally murdered. President Trump promised to deliver justice for the 20 year-old who was found dismembered and burned after last being seen in a parking lot at Fort Hood, where she was stationed, on April 22.
A courageous & stunning conversation in the oval office [Video and Transcript Below]
.
[Transcript] MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: (As interpreted.) Thank you for having us. Thanks you for receiving us.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much.
MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: (As interpreted.) It’s an honor to be here.
(Speaks in Spanish.)
INTERPRETER ON BEHALF OF MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: She wants your help to bring justice for what happened to her daughter and (inaudible) for her daughter. She wants to know who’s really responsible and who was responsible for what happened to her daughter and why didn’t people act on it.
THE PRESIDENT: Right.
INTERPRETER ON BEHALF OF MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: And her daughter died. Her daughter died in service of the country from the hand of people who are in the military. She just wants your help to get at the truth, to get at justice — the truth. And this is from her heart, and she knows it’s of your heart.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I saw this on one of the shows recently, and I was just looking, and it hit me very hard. I saw what happened to your daughter, Vanessa, who was a spectacular person, and respected and loved by everybody, including in the military. And I invited you to the White House.
As you know, the FBI and the DOJ are now involved. We got them involved. And the people at Ford Hood, where it took place, are very much involved. We didn’t want to have this swept under the rug, which could happen.
And so I’d like you maybe, just if you’d like for the media, to explain exactly what happened as we all understand it, but they don’t perhaps.
MS. KHAWAM: So, President Trump, first of all, thank you very much for hosting this family. It’s a beautiful family that I represent. I’m Attorney Natalie Khawam. I’m going this case pro bono because I believe in it, and I believe in our military and I believe in justice.
THE PRESIDENT: Good.
MS. KHAWAM: And like you, you love the military, you love our veterans, and you have proven that today by just bringing us into your home to begin with.
Secondly, we have formed together to figure out what happened and how it happened. And just to give background, Vanessa was having issues internally with some of the sergeants and such hitting on her, sexually harassing her. We don’t know how far it went because a lot of women don’t always speak up. They just are afraid.
THE PRESIDENT: Other people other than the one in question, right?
MS. KHAWAM: Correct. And it’s a systemic problem there. You know, you have young kids — boys, girls — 18, 20, 21. But there isn’t enough protections in place because they get nervous about retaliation.
And I learned — I knew about the problem, but I didn’t know how severe it was. Like I said, I thought I was picking a scab, and here I saw it is septic. It’s terrible. The hashtag #IAmVanessaGuillen, if you go to that, you will read all these stories of these young women that serve our country, how broken they are; like, when they report it, what happens in the chain of command. And then they get retaliated against, and they got to clean toilets and stuff like that.
So I understand why Vanessa wouldn’t want to go report it — formally report it. So she did tell her family. She told her friends. She told some of the soldiers with her how they were — this guy — especially guy Aaron.
THE PRESIDENT: In particular him, right? In particular.
MS. KHAWAM: Aaron Robinson. Yeah, that’s correct.
THE PRESIDENT: Others also?
MS. KHAWAM: That’s correct. So I understand that she was in a locker room, the girls’ locker room, taking a shower, and he walked in and sat there and stared at her showering — like, just creepy.
And, unfortunately, we believe that she was going to report him because he was with her in the room that day. Her day off, they asked her to come in. It makes no sense, right? We’re not getting all the answers, by the way.
THE PRESIDENT: Right.
MS. KHAWAM: And he supposedly took a hammer and killed her in the room, bludgeoned her to death. He’d go into this room — the room is probably, like, a quarter of the size of this room. And it’s open, so people can hear and see things. So how no one heard her screaming, how no one saw the blood, those are, like, questions we still have.
But when he did that to her, he carried her body out and he buried it in the river nearby. He used a machete.
THE PRESIDENT: And nobody saw this? Nobody saw it?
MS. KHAWAM: Nobody saw this. Right.
And he used a machete to cut her up with his girlfriend, and he tried to burn her body, went and — burn. I mean, this — the horribleness. I said it reminded me of, like, ISIS, what they do to our soldiers.
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. Yeah. That’s right.
MS. KHAWAM: And we — when I heard about this story, you know, they contacted me and said, “Can you help us?” And I said, “Absolutely, can I help you.” You know, these are immigrants. You know, my family is immigrants. You know, you come to this country, you want to serve it, you want to do the best you can. And I didn’t want them getting railroaded.
I know that the — it’s hard to navigate through the military. I know it’s hard to navigate through Congress. And I knew that we needed to do something. We needed a congressional investigation because there’s so many “how does that happen?”, “how did this happen?” A lot of cover-ups.
When I tried to work with CID, I said, “What subpoenas have you issued? Because I’ll issue some subpoenas with you, like, to help you out,” like — so, you know. They wouldn’t tell me what subpoenas they issued. They wouldn’t tell me anything.
THE PRESIDENT: Right.
MS. KHAWAM: So I found that it was very difficult to communicate. There was no transparency.
So what we can do collectively is — to get justice for Vanessa is we need reform. We need a bill. And, you know, I drafted a bill that — #IAmVanessaGuillen. Markwayne Mullin from Oklahoma —
THE PRESIDENT: Right. Good guy.
MS. KHAWAM: Great guy. Love him. He intro- — well, he — it’s right now leg counsel. But what it does is it says, “The way we have the EEOC, which is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, how someone can report something — go to the EEOC — we’re looking for something that’s going to allow our military, our soldiers to have the same rights and protections so, that way, they’re not going to their chain of command or internally.
THE PRESIDENT: Right.
MS. KHAWAM: What they’re doing is they’re going outside the command and reporting something. So suppose this kind of situation would have been in place, if we had this kind of bill in place, Vanessa could have reported this and they would have said, “Wait a second, this guy, Aaron Robinson, has a few of these problems. Like, look at this guy’s…” —
THE PRESIDENT: So did she report anything at all?
MS. KHAWAM: She reported it to her family and friends and some of the soldiers. She didn’t do a formal report.
THE PRESIDENT: Not to the fort, not to the people.
MS. KHAWAM: Right. Not to the command, her bosses, who are also above her, who she’s saying that were sexually harassing her.
So it’s hard to go to the boss that’s giving you problems, to report him. You know, it’s like the fox over the henhouse.
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. (Inaudible.) Well, I want to thank you. It’s a great explanation.
Would you like to say something? Please.
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: I respect our military; that not all people are bad. But the way they treat Vanessa, they treated us. No transparency, no respect. They did not respect our pleading. They did not respect our pleading of my mother. And they did not respect my sister. Because I believe that the hashtag #IAmVanessaGuillen — and we have a whole nation behind us — that the hashtag #IAmVanessaGuillen would help our man and woman in the armed forces, because they are ones putting their life at risk.
They say, “Protect our protectors.” They deserve to be respected, to be heard, and to be honored, just like Vanessa. Because it’s — it’s a disgrace that when you get sexually harassed, you have to report it on to your line of command, but 80 percent of the time, the line of command is actually sexually harassing you, so you wouldn’t have the confidence nor the trust to report it. That’s why Vanessa did not report it, because she was afraid of retaliation or afraid of judgment because she was ashamed of herself, even though the shame was the aggressor.
And we need a change, and we need a positive change because our troops need to feel safe and need to feel respected because they’re the ones putting their life at risk. But yet, my sister was truly, deeply in love. She said, “If I have to go station in Iraq, if I have to go to combat, I’ll die proudly because I’m a patriot and I’m serving the country. I am protecting my own family…” —
THE PRESIDENT: She was in love with the country is what you’re saying.
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: — “…I was serving my family. I was protecting my family.” But yet, she died on base. How can this happen on a military base, where you think everything is safe, but yet the soldiers are not safe?
So we need a congressional investigation because it’s impossible that no one saw, no one heard anything. Yet, there are people — my sister was not supposed to go to work, yet someone sent her to work. So if it was a day off, where were all the soldiers? It’s — it’s a humongous base.
Someone had to hear, someone had to saw what was going on in that arms room, and we want to find the truth because the truth will come out. And —
THE PRESIDENT: And now, as you know, the DOJ and the FBI are there and they’re doing a very strong investigation, as is the Army. So they’re doing a very strong investigation, as you know. We just started that. It’s an incredible story. It’s a terrible story.
Would you like to say something?
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: Sure. First, I want to thank you for taking the time, taking us in. It’s an honor to be able to meet you, and I know you’re going to help us. And, you know, honoring our sister, passing the bill. And, of course, I want to point out how is it that her chain of command failed drastically.
It’s — you know, the first day I arrived, I was received by Robinson himself and a couple of other males. And I felt that they were trying —
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, really? Wow.
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: — to intimidate me, but they — they didn’t get it, and that’s why we’re here today.
THE PRESIDENT: So he took his life when? When after this horrible event? When did he take his life? When was it?
MS. KHAWAM: Probably 17 days —
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: Right before they were about to arrest him.
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, I see. So that was — oh, I see. So they found out, et cetera.
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: He was under watch, and he just went off, and they —
THE PRESIDENT: Did they know right away? Did you know right away? Did everybody know it was him?
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: I felt it.
MS. KHAWAM: She knew right away.
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: She felt —
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: The day I went, I felt it.
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: But, I mean, he was a truly coward if he killed himself. He couldn’t attempt the consequences. I mean, think over your actions before you do something. But he was a true coward. But I want her leadership to be questioned.
THE PRESIDENT: So we’re going to look into it very powerfully, and we already have started, as you know. And we’ll get to the bottom of it, and maybe things can come out that will help other people in a situation like Vanessa. We’ll be — we’ll be in touch with you constantly. We’ll be in touch with you too.
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: Thank you
THE PRESIDENT: Natalie, thank you very much. That was great.
MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: (Speaks in Spanish.)
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, please.
MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: (Speaks in Spanish.)
INTERPRETER ON BEHALF OF GLORIA GUILLÉN: Her daughter’s story is the story of the whole nation. It’s (inaudible.)
MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: (Speaks in Spanish.)
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: She just said that my sister Vanessa Guillén, she’s making history, whole nation, almost international, and she wants you to be a part of it because we hope to have your support. And she said my sister, she had her whole life ahead of her, and her life was taken away in the most disgusting way anyone could take a human’s life. She wanted to be a mother.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s true.
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: And everyone has a family, so everyone could feel the small pain. And she’s — she just dreams of her and how she wants to save children. But everyone has heart, so we expect people’s compassion, we expect people to help us, and we hope to have your support in this bill.
MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: (Speaks in Spanish.)
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: You will be making history within Vanessa, because we need a change, and the change is now. And we need something positive so the soldiers feel safe to be recruited, feel safe while serving their nation, feel honored to serve their nation, but to feel respected and safe, and that’s how the bill will help them. Because not only women — it’s also men. I have heard many stories. And hopefully we have your support.
MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: (Speaks in Spanish.)
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: Because this bill will mark a whole lifetime, and that you will be in it, and you will be making history within Vanessa, and people will be so thankful and blessed for having your support.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you have our support, and we’re working on it already, as you know, and we won’t stop. And hopefully something very positive will come out in honor of your sister. Okay? And your daughter.
MR. GUILLÉN: Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: We will — yes. Absolutely.
MS. KHAWAM: And, you know, President Trump, the saddest part of this all is her funeral is around the corner. And she won’t — they won’t have her body in the casket. Sometimes people need closure when they see someone’s face or body in a casket, and there’s no body. I mean, that’s what’s — it’s horrific.
THE PRESIDENT: When you say “around the corner,” you mean there is — there has not been a funeral yet?
MS. KHAWAM: No, not yet.
THE PRESIDENT: How come?
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: We’re planning on it. We’re planning to have —
MS. KHAWAM: Did you get any of the (inaudible)?
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: I was in touch with the Texas Rangers and FBI, and they told me that because the investigation was still open, they would call me as soon as I would be able to receive.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, they have to do that. I mean, it’s —
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: Right. And I feel like we should be able to —
THE PRESIDENT: That’s no good. We got to take care of that.
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: Right. If you could — thank you
THE PRESIDENT: You mean, you — you haven’t had a funeral? Because this is quite a while now.
MS. KHAWAM: Yeah.
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: Right.
THE PRESIDENT: Because I even saw it quite a while ago.
MS. KHAWAM: Correct.
THE PRESIDENT: And — because you don’t have the body yet?
MS. KHAWAM: No remains.
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: No. That’s all we’re —
THE PRESIDENT: But they have the body.
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: Yes.
MS. KHAWAM: The remains.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay.
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: That’s just a disgrace. And how can someone be capable of doing that? It’s just —
THE PRESIDENT: No, it’s a terrible thing. When would you like to have the funeral? When?
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: As soon as possible.
THE PRESIDENT: As soon as possible. I agree. As soon as possible with the funeral. We’ll make sure — we’ll make sure that happens. Okay, please?
Where will you have the funeral? Do you know?
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: Houston.
THE PRESIDENT: In Houston?
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: Yeah.
THE PRESIDENT: And if I can help you out with the funeral, I’ll help — I’ll help you with that.
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: I’ll help you out. Financially, I’ll help you.
MS. KHAWAM: I think the military will be paying — taking care of it.
THE PRESIDENT: Good. They’ll do a military. That’s good. If you need help, I’ll help you out.
MS. KHAWAM: Thank you, President.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay? If they need something, I’ll — we’ll take care — we’ll make sure she is very respected.
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Because I — I’ve seen statements about her from other people, as you know, and you don’t get better statements about a person. I see many statements about many people; I don’t see statements like that. So she was very extraordinary. And thank you, Natalie. Very good job. You’re doing good. So we’ll coordinate.
John, do you have any questions of the family, please? We’re going to keep this to Vanessa, right now, if we could.
Q I’m just wondering — Mr. President, you’ve got the FBI, the DOJ, the DOD involved. The family is asking for legislation in the military, similar to the EEOC in civilian life. What can you, as President, do to try to push that process forward?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we’re doing that right now and we’re working, and actually, we’ve been working on it since I heard about it originally. And we’re going to see if we can do something, representing the family, but also helping other people that are in the same position because they’re — this is not — you know, probably, sadly, it’s probably not that unique. There are other people in trouble too.
MS. KHAWAM: That’s right.
THE PRESIDENT: So we’re going to look into that very strongly, John.
Q Is there a — is there a culture in the military that you’re worried about? Or what needs to happen here?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, it would seem to me — what would you think about that? Is there a culture? Is this a culture in the military?
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: Sexually harassing a person shouldn’t be daily. Murdering a person on a military base shouldn’t be monthly. Like, all those bodies found in Ft. Hood. It needs to change, and the change is now. There needs to be transparency, and for the truth to come out — what is happening on Ft. Hood — and to have an investigation because, I mean, it’s impossible that no one saw, no one heard Vanessa, that saw Vanessa. It’s impossible.
THE PRESIDENT: Certainly unusual. This was, Steve, a very horrific situation. Well, I don’t know if you — if you read about it or saw it, but it impacted me. I saw it and it was terrible. And so we’re going to get to the bottom of it. And how could it have happened where nobody knew about it at all?
MS. KHAWAM: Right.
THE PRESIDENT: They must have known.
MS. KHAWAM: I think there was a lot of cover-ups. Like, for example, that guy, Aaron Robinson — I don’t really want to call him a “guy” — an animal. I think that what happened, what transpired, with so many eyes and ears there, I really feel like they don’t want to think it was him. It was like confirmatory bias. They wanted to keep looking the other way. And it just — not sure why they were protecting him.
THE PRESIDENT: But they — remember, they ultimately got him, and that’s when he — he committed suicide, I guess. But they ultimately got him, so that was — frankly, somebody did that. Who did that? Who was — who was in charge? They didn’t let him get away with it, is what I’m saying. And they probably wouldn’t have.
MS. KHAWAM: So, they issued a BOLO, which is “be on the lookout” for him, and he escaped somehow, on foot. And I’m not sure if they gave him a hint, because how did they let the one guard who was watching him, how did he miss him? And a second guard as much, then guards out front watching him. Did they tell him? Did they let him in?
Because when they tried to issue — you know, to detain him, for some reason, the senior attorney at the base would not allow for them to do a — for them to — a subpoena. They basically couldn’t detain him because they say there was not enough facts and evidence, even though they had him — believe it or not, they pinged his phone or something, and they knew he was at that river from one to four in the morning. Who goes fishing at one in the morning?
So there was a lot of, like, why would they — why would they keep on turning a blind eye?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, look, the good thing is that he’s gone —
MS. KHAWAM: Right. He’s a goner. Right.
THE PRESIDENT: — okay? As far as I’m concerned. The good thing: He’s gone. Now we’re going to go in to see what happened. Also, can we have this go on to other people to help other people —
MS. KHAWAM: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: — like your sister. Right?
Q Last year, a soldier named Gregory Wedel-Morales disappeared from Fort Hood. It was believed by the military that he had gone AWOL. They didn’t launch an investigation into his whereabouts. His remains were found not far from where Vanessa Guillén’s remains were found, and in about the same time period. Is there a problem with the culture at that particular base, do you think, that is allowing this to happen?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, let me ask you, do you know about that —
MS. KHAWAM: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: — particular case?
MS. KHAWAM: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: What’s — what — what about that case?
MS. KHAWAM: So they found his remains while they were looking for Vanessa’s.
THE PRESIDENT: No kidding.
MS. KHAWAM: Yeah.
THE PRESIDENT: Wow.
MS. KHAWAM: So he starts — starts becoming suspect. And so, unfortunately, you know, the family did not get any information or (inaudible) —
THE PRESIDENT: But are they putting that together? Because it’s —
MS. KHAWAM: Now — well, now it looks — it all looks —
THE PRESIDENT: With the same guy. He was there and then they find the other remains?
MS. KHAWAM: So, you know, we’ll find out. Hopefully, with the FBI — thanks for asking them to join this case and the DOJ. Hopefully, they’ll see whether there’s any kind of connection.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s a good question, John.
Q We interviewed the mother a couple of weeks back.
THE PRESIDENT: It’s an interesting question. That you’d even know that is very interesting. It’s impressive, actually.
Q Mr. President —
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah?
Q Mr. President, you offered to help pay some of the funeral costs.
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah.
Q Have you offered to do that for other families before?
THE PRESIDENT: I have. I have.
Q Have you — and you’ve actually —
THE PRESIDENT: Personally. I have to do it personally. I can’t do it through government.
Q So you’ve written checks to help for other families before this?
THE PRESIDENT: I have. I have, because some families need help. They need help.
I don’t even know if you need help. Maybe you don’t need help, from a financial standpoint. I have no idea what — I just think it’s a horrific thing that happened. And if you did need help, I’m going to — I’ll be there to help you.
Are you using the military for the funeral though? Or is it — is it going to be —
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: We actually declined because my mom didn’t want a military casket and stuff like that. Vanessa is very unique, so we wanted something unique for her. So far, a lot of people have been helping us, but it has been a rough three months.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay, well, you let us know.
MS. KHAWAM: Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay? You let us know. That’s fine.
MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: (Speaks in Spanish.)
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: “It’s very painful,” is what she just said.
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, there is a lot of pain here. This is just a horrible thing.
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: Another horrible thing just happened.
THE PRESIDENT: What — what did your mother say?
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: That CID is not a — you cannot have confidence in them because they lied to us the first day, seeing my mom in pain. But yet, there’s another story that CID tried to just throw it under the rug. There was a baby that was murdered, and they threw him. It’s just hard to say. An innocent life — a child — was thrown from the bedroom, all the way from the top of the building to the floor. And it happened on a military base. And an innocent child died. Why? Why is that happening? They have to be investigated.
THE PRESIDENT: So was this at Fort Hood also?
MS. MAYRA GUILLÉN: I believe Fort Hood, yes.
MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: (Speaks in Spanish.)
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: Like, this particular person, he is stationed on Fort Hood. He told my mother, because this is a pure example: He was — he’s afraid to speak up. He’s afraid to tell others because they feel that they’re going to endanger his own family. He’s going to be — he’s going to be in danger every day because — why are they afraid to speak up? Why?
THE PRESIDENT: We’re going to find out. Right?
MS. KHAWAM: Yeah. And I would love to work with whoever —
THE PRESIDENT: We’re going to find out.
MS. KHAWAM: — it is, because I know all the stories and I know what’s happening.
THE PRESIDENT: We’ll look at that too.
MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: (Speaks in Spanish.)
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: She wants justice for Vanessa Guillén and for all those soldiers that have been found dead and being killed on a military base, and for those soldiers have been sexually harassed and don’t have the opportunity to go and have confidence to report their sexual harassment.
Because a pure example that people are too afraid to report their sexual harassment and sexual assault, and it goes far to rape, is — and a pure example you can find articles: 2015 prostitution ring was led by a sergeant on Fort Hood, but yet, that same sergeant was leading the SHARP classes, which — that same SHARP classes are supposed to prevent sexual harassment to happen throughout higher-rank soldiers, sergeants. But yet, how is that possible that someone is trying to protect soldiers from sexual harassment and rape and abuse and assault, but yet you’re conducting a prostitution ring?
So the #IAmVanessaGuillen bill would have our man and woman have the confidence —
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah.
MS. GUADALUPE GUILLÉN: — into reporting the sexual harassment.
THE PRESIDENT: So we’ll look into that too, Natalie. Okay?
MS. KHAWAM: Thank you, President.
THE PRESIDENT: We’re going to look into that.
I want to thank you all for being here. It’s a lot of courage actually. It takes a lot of courage. And your daughter is very respected. And she’s respected by me, and you’re in the Oval Office. Your daughter would be very proud of you right now. She’s looking down. She’ll be very proud of you. So — and your sister. So we will get to the bottom of a lot of this, and maybe all of it. Okay?
MS. KHAWAM: Thank you so much, President.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much.
MR. GUILLÉN: Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Thank you.
MRS. GLORIA GUILLÉN: (As interpreted.) Justice for Vanessa.
THE PRESIDENT: Justice. Yep. Absolutely. For Vanessa. Thank you. Thank you very much.
