It’s all about the science, they say…
Today the Oregon Ministry of COVID Compliance announces that all good citizens of the state will be wearing masks indoors and outside regardless of their vaccinated status. However, in an exhibition of her magnanimous empathy, Governor Brown says the rule does not apply to “children under 5; people who are actively eating drinking and sleeping; people experiencing homelessness; people who are playing competitive sports, and people performing outdoors.”
Smiles everyone, smiles !
Clad in pearls, this is the same Governor who recently announced the suspension of all educational requirements for High School graduation {Go Deep}, because it was too hard for all the minority students and persons of color to pass proficiency tests… Because COVID.

“Contrariwise,’ continued Tweedledee, ‘if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic.” So goes the wonderful words of Lewis Carroll from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland…. Which is the only appropriate frame of reference for what you are about to discover.
You see…
…The COVID madness has created a most unusual dynamic for the resident’s down-under and the painfully monitored Australian media who have to be careful not to run afoul of the government COVID compliance watchers.
Once a nation creates an alternate reality of itself, in this case a totalitarian reality based on government needing to create an irrational illusion of fear that becomes part of the accepted national identity, how can a media outlet call attention to the outcomes without finding themselves in front of the governmental board of inquisition?
Put another way,… if the pod under your bed malfunctioned, but the pods under all the other beds in the city worked, what happens when you awaken and realize you are not one of them, but you must engage in the world of them while looking for others -like yourself- whose pods hopefully malfunctioned? That is the current challenge for media in Australia trying to report on their reality and yet avoid the ire from the national board of COVID compliance who have successfully brainwashed the audience.
One Australian media outlet seems to have found a way. In this report from Sky News Australia, they avoid the censors by reporting on how the world is viewing Australian news, by sharing American news clips of Australian news. It is weird and the perfect example of how bizarre the world has become over COVID. WATCH:
Sky News host Rita Panahi says “to us, a bunch of teenagers being handcuffed in the middle of the night and fined $1,000 each for the crime of meeting at a Sydney beach has become normal,” she said. “But the rest of the world looks in abject horror.”
Ms Panahi then shares how people around the world are “marveling” at what’s happening in Australia, noting Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson has taken aim at how Australian police are treating protesters. “There is similar commentary and discussions I’ve seen from the UK,” Ms Panahi said. “Is this how we want to be perceived as a country?”
As a rather prescient Lewis Carroll continued to share in his novel of Alice, Through The Looking Glass:
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”

If the White House appears to be running around in a panic that’s because they are. The USA Today/Suffolk polling shows a massive collapse in Joe Biden approval far below anything previously registered for President Trump.
Additionally, Biden barely has 50% approval for his handling of the pandemic, but a mere 39% approve of his handling of the economy. THAT is a major issue what has the potential to infect the entire Democrat platform.
THAT is also why Nancy Pelosi is pushing the agenda so hard right now. They have lost the American public and the tsunami consequences are creating massive voter backlash.
According to USA today, “while he has held the backing of 87% of Democrats, only 32% of independents say he’s doing a good job,” again, that’s a major problem.
(USA Today) […] Half approved of his handling of the pandemic, 39% of his handling of the economy, 26% of his handling of the Afghan withdrawal.
“Today, President Biden’s overall approval has taken a turn for the worse due to his awful job performance rating on Afghanistan,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk Political Research Center. “His approval on immigration and the economy are also upside down. The only issue keeping him remotely in the game is his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, where he is barely at 50%.” (more)
Politically with these collapsing polling numbers it becomes much harder for the leftists to keep the pressure on their more centrist peers. When the president loses support, the party support for a failing administration starts to weaken. The party leadership can whip the representatives harder, but each lash draws less and less reaction.
As long as the American people keep dropping support for these failed policies; and there are real checkbook issues with inflation making it impossible for them to ignore; it becomes much harder for Biden to carry any political weight.
That problem has wide consequences as the COVID vaccination propaganda is also starting to blow up in their face. Keep in mind all of these issues are happening with a U.S. media that is largely still supporting and propping up the Biden administration. If MSM support starts to soften it will only make things exponentially worse.

The term “indulgency fee” is so much more appealing than “extortion“, just ask U.S. Ambassador John Christopher Stevens; oh,…wait. I digress.
It is being reported that CIA Director William Burns flew to Afghanistan to negotiate with Taliban leadership yesterday. Earlier today, Joe Biden tells the G7 nations that he is sticking to the August 31st withdrawal deadline imposed by the Taliban who are in control of almost all regions of the country including the capital city of Kabul.
For future reference, remember this CIA meeting with Taliban leadership in case the administration ever tries to say we do not negotiate with terrorists. The Biden administration doesn’t have a choice. The Taliban circle the airport in Kabul. The Taliban have U.S. made advanced technology surface-to-air missiles (SAMS) that we left with the Afghan army before their defeat. As a consequence, the Taliban could easily begin shooting down any airplane attempting to take-off or land from the airport…
Hence… CIA Director Burns is almost certainly negotiating payment terms with the Taliban for safe passage. We can only imagine how much money the Biden administration is paying the Taliban leadership to permit ongoing operations at the Kabul airport. Think about how much Biden would pay to avoid the optics of a U.S. airplane carrying hundreds of Americans being blown out of the sky on CNN and BBC news. That is how much we are paying.
Biden is telling everyone at the G7 he is sticking to the August 31st deadline date. Biden addressed the leaders on the call for about seven minutes. The NATO allies are worried they will not be able to get their people out. However, undoubtedly the extraction of Americans and allies AFTER August 31st is part of the agreement between the CIA (on behalf of Biden) and Taliban leaders.
The Taliban are not stupid, they have all the leverage in this dynamic. The Taliban know this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to gain massive ransom payments without the international media visibility of physically holding hostages. They also know the desperation of the Biden administration to avoid any painful optics.
Earlier today, the Taliban announced they will not permit Afghan nationals to travel to the airport in Kabul. The Taliban are not going to permit U.S. embassy staff who are Afghan nationals to leave.
BBC is reporting that Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Majahid said: “Afghans should not go to the airport or try to leave the country.” At the press briefing, Zabihullah Mujahid also said, “Women should stay at home for now, for their safety.” The Taliban spokesman added it would be a “violation” of the agreement to allow evacuations of foreign nationals beyond the 31st of August.
This is the problem with, and motive for, the Biden administration refusing to quantify the number of Americans and SIV’s who remain in Afghanistan. As long as the American public do not know how many are there, the administration can use any arbitrary number to claim they have all been removed regardless of their actual disposition.
If you don’t think a Democrat administration is willing to sacrifice a few thousand pesky Americans to save themselves the political issues of their abandonment; and if you think the Democrats are genuinely worried about the disposition of Afghan nationals that will likely be killed silently by Taliban enforcers…. please, remind yourself of Benghazi.
It was Ron Paul’s birthday last week so we are celebrating with a classic Ron Paul Cartoon from 2012
Original Post from 2012
Ron Paul may not win the election (it has been rigged against him), but we hope he stays in the race to communicate messages the MSM are ignoring.
That is, the country has been taken over by global banks, multi-national corporations and the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about. Ron Paul has raised awareness of the Federal Reserve and the fascist system it has produced. Corrupt money and politicians have destroyed the Republic.
Wealth and power have been concentrated into the hands of a global elite. Some may say it’s a conspiracy theory, but fascism is already here. Like Nazi Germany, we can be stopped without reason and we must produce papers. We are searched without probable cause. The 4th Amendment is all but dead. They are going after freedom of speech next. Then the guns.
We must not willingly give them up.
Ron Paul is a modern-day Paul Revere. He has been warning us for years that fascism was coming. Now it’s here. Many Americans are waking up, but many more need to realize how valuable freedom is and how important it is for everyone to pitch in and help save the Constitution while we can.

If you remember how Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi forced former Representative Bart Stupak and the 19 Blue Dog democrats to cave on the Obamacare construct in 2010, then you have a solid reference point for what Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are doing right now.
As you are reading this Nancy Pelosi has pulled together her leadership group overnight to change the House rules for legislative passage of the $3.5 trillion Green New Deal spending package under the auspices of “infrastructure.”
This $3.5 trillion spending bill is in addition to the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill that came from the Senate, and… she is using the $2 trillion budget package as the carrier for a slick “Deem and Pass” maneuver.
As we have seen before, right now Pelosi is changing the House rules to have a single vote on the current budget proposal which will include a ‘deem and pass’ provision that adds the $3.5 trillion Green New Deal spending package to it.
By voting to pass the omnibus budget bill, all House members will also be voting to authorize as passed the additional $3.5 trillion GND as a wraparound.
This means one single vote passes this massive social engineering project with more than $5.5 trillion in spending in a single bill. Thereafter the House will vote on the Senate bill separately to add another $1.5 trillion, bringing the total spending by the House before they depart to a whopping $7 trillion; forever changing the American landscape.
After several hours of discussion and conference with a group of 10 ‘moderate’ democrats led by New Jersey Representative Josh Gottheimer, shortly before 1:00am ET Pelosi sent the House Democrats home with a pledge to finish the rules changes and prepare for a vote today, Tuesday. The House will reconvene at noon and the votes will be whipped.
Politico has a breakdown of some insider details surrounding Pelosi’s negotiations with Gottheimer [SEE HERE]. However, in the final analysis it looks like Gottheimer and his ten moderate colleagues are going to end up doing the same thing as Bart Stupak and the Blue Dogs did with Obamacare. Which means they will likely cave and approve the bill and procedural changes.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Several of the moderates were particularly incensed by a wonky maneuver that would wrap consideration of the ground rules of debate and the budget resolution itself into one vote, rather than the original plan that required two votes to advance the spending bill. After a few of them balked at Pelosi’s initial offer, Gottheimer returned for his second round of meetings with leadership and then shuttled back to his fellow centrists. (more)
Democrats are by nature totalitarian dictators and just like Bart Stupak, Josh Gottheimer is being threatened by Pelosi and House leadership if he doesn’t go along and get his group to vote in support of Pelosi’s massive scheme. All indications are this group of moderate democrats will not hold up against the massive onslaught of pressure from the leftists now in control of the party.
In the aftermath of ObamaCare Bart Stupak (Michigan) and the entire 19 member blue-dog caucus were wiped out in the 2010 mid-term election; however, by then ObamaCare was cemented. Democrats actually lost a total of 63 seats in the U.S. House (biggest crushing defeat since 1938) and lost 6 seats in the Senate. That was the political cost to Democrats, but they won their government takeover of healthcare and college tuition.
The $3.5 trillion Green New Deal/Socialist takeover plan is tracking along an almost identical path to ObamaCare. Schemes, rule changes and parliamentarian tricks used to get passage ‘by any means necessary‘.

A spokesperson for the Taliban in Afghanistan has warned Joe Biden and U.S. military officials not to extend the August 31st withdrawal deadline in an interview with Sky News.
“It’s a red line. President Biden announced that on Aug. 31 they would withdraw all their military forces. So if they extend it, that means they are extending occupation while there is no need for that. If the US or UK were to seek additional time to continue evacuations — the answer is no.Or there would be consequences,” Shaheen said, adding that extending the deadline would “create mistrust between us.” Prolonging the “occupation will provoke a reaction.”
Earlier today Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby oddly refused to give an estimate on the number of American citizens still in Afghanistan. Keep in mind there are scattered Americans all over the country, not just assembled in the area around the capitol city of Kabul. WATCH this intentional effort at purposeful ambiguity:
A very worrisome picture of the Biden approach to this August 31st deadline issue is emerging.
As long as the Biden administration refuses to put a number on the Americans that need to be rescued; and considering the Taliban have affirmed a deadline date of August 31st with those Biden officials; it becomes possible for the Biden administration to pick an arbitrary number of rescued Americans at the deadline date and then say “mission accomplished.”
It is silly for the administration to continue claiming they have no idea how many Americans are stuck in Afghanistan or in/around the Kabul airport. They have multiple ways to identify our citizens including those who have reached out to the U.S. Embassy.
Additionally, with the technology available to the military in the region, even identifying the location of the Americans reaching out for help is a simple process of geolocation of their cell phone data. Go to point “A” at 15:30 and a U.S. retrieval unit will pick you up. This is not a complex situation. We have the processes in place to do exactly what is being discussed. This is not a new challenge being witnessed for the first time.
All of this claimed complexity is transparently false and seemingly designed to obfuscate common sense with a purpose.
The response from Kamala Harris to this exact issue today shows the administration is singularly focused on the political consequences to the Afghanistan crisis.
During a press conference in Singapore with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Kamala Harris was challenged on the U.S. response. Watch how unprepared Harris is to talk about this issue. Deflect, distract, deflect.
Silently in the background, the elitist manipulators have succeeded in destroying much of the world economy. It was the bourgeoisie they wanted to destroy (middle-class small business owners), and while claiming the problem is inequality, the real objective was created only to wipe out local businesses to end driving around town to save the planet and you will buy or rent everything from the elite class. They are not concerned about “inequality” for they are creating the GREAT DIVIDE between everyone but them being relegated to what Marx called the proletariat or the universal class — the Great Unwashed. They will be very happy as they say in their predictions is we own nothing but somehow we will be happy as if we are living in the real version of Matrix which perhaps was their inspiration.
This new video from Schwab’s World Economic Forum is already declaring a partial victory showing that the objective of the virus lockdowns was really for the Great Reset and climate change agenda. Make no mistake about it; even Al Gore is on the board of the World Economic Forum. These people have conspired to change the world by crushing the economy, and the police are also so stupid to follow orders blindly. They want everyone to work from home: end offices and small businesses. You will buy everything from the giant retailers, and they will be delivered so ending the need to pollute the world by driving to the store or work.
The press, who calls this a “conspiracy theory,” is part of this agenda.
