$h*t Joe Biden Says: “Poor Kids are Just as Talented as White Kids.”

Published on Aug 10, 2019

Former Vice President Joe Biden tells Iowa’s Democratic faithful that “poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids/” Did he accidentally say what he, and his party, really believe? Is this just the normal $h*t Joe Biden says? Or has the septuagenarian lost his grip. This latest gaffe has even some Democrats wondering about his electability, if not his fitness for office. Should Republicans work to rescue his nomination as the candidate they’d most like to face President Donald Trump. Bill Whittle Now is a production of the Members at https://BillWhittle.com.

Will there Ever be a real Investigation of Epstein’s Death?

Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law

Re-Posted Aug 11, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

Normally, I would not credit anything an Attorney General ever had to say about any case. However, Attorney General William Barr said Saturday: “I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody.” The only reason I credit his statement is the fact that he has consulted with the Inspector General about an investigation after Epstein allegedly hanged himself and was found in his jail cell early on Saturday.

Barr continued to say: “Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered. In addition to the FBI’s investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein’s death.”

The FBI is questionable and only the Office of Inspector General can be trusted to investigate anything (see an investigation by OIG into the FBI).

Any investigation should NOT BE limited to the claimed suicide of Epstein. The OIG should investigate the MCC and how it is used as a tool by the DOJ to abuse prisoners all the time to ensure they retain their 99% conviction rate with the 1% being simply dead.

Another inmate who spent time in the hole told the NY Post it is impossible to hang yourself in one of those cells. There is nothing to tied sheets to and the ceiling is very low. It is not high enough to hang yourself. The lights are on 23 or 24 hours a day. The frosted glass windows offer no view of the outside world. Even the slot on each cell door is kept shut, meaning that inmates see little beyond their solitary cell.

The conspiracy spin is in full force that the Clintons were behind this one which is yet another in a long list of mysterious deaths. However, only some of the names have been unsealed so far. Prince Andrew was named in court documents unsealed from an alleged Epstein victim who claimed he trafficked her to wealthy men including Prince Andrew, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, Wall Street billionaire Glenn Dubin, and foreign heads of state. (The men deny these allegations.) The speculation is that there are other high ranking members of Congress who also might be linked. Obviously, there may be a lot more people interested in his silence than just the Clintons.

The alleged victims no longer get their day in court to testify. So if they were going to describe events at Epstein’s trial, forget that. There will be no trial without charging others. So it would be very interesting if the OIG really investigated the MCC.

Oliver Brown worked in MCC and had the courage to come forward to testify what really goes on in MCC. He appeared in the movie even after the FBI visited him two days before the taping demonstrating that the government was tracking the movie crew. Mr. Brown submitted a declaration under oath that the courts simply passed over to protect what goes on in MCC. He declared:

“I believe that in or about early 2001, though I can no longer be sure of the exact date, I was informed by Mr. Marvin Owens, staff attorney for the MCC, of a conversation he had with an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Owens informed me that, because Mr. Armstrong held a unique status of civil condemnor, the MCC and USAO could not decide what to do with him. Mr. Owens informed me, in words or substance, that it was decided that, despite the lack of sufficient evidence against Mr. Armstrong to prove a conviction, Mr. Armstrong should remain at the MCC in civil contempt until he relented, gave in or simply broke down and admitted to the crimes he was accused of.”

It took a lot of courage for Mr. Brown to come forward, but nobody would investigate what took place and certainly, no newspaper will ever report the abuse of human rights taking place in MCC.

Here we had exculpatory evidence withheld from the court and a whistleblower coming forward from inside MCC and my requests to the Department of Justice and the Office of Inspector General for an investigation of the tactics employed in MCC have simply been ignored. For this reason, I have little hope that there will EVER be an investigation into what is taking place in the American legal system. William Barr may be shocked, but who will ever carry out an investigation that would discredit the Justice system?

It will take an avalanche of letters from everyone to the White House before a real investigation will ever be carried out. I will be glad to testify if they ever have the guts to really investigate behind the curtain.

Far-Left Panic Over Epstein’s “Suicide” – Shareblue Dispatches Urgent Talking Points For On-Line Activists….

Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on August 10, 2019 by sundance

The Manhattan U.S. Attorney has released the following statement about the suspicious custodial death of Jeffrey Epstein:

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: “Earlier this morning, the Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein, who faced charges brought by this Office of engaging in the sex trafficking of minors, had been found unresponsive in his cell and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter of an apparent suicide.

Today’s events are disturbing, and we are deeply aware of their potential to present yet another hurdle to giving Epstein’s many victims their day in Court. To those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others who have yet to do so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you, and our investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment – which included a conspiracy count – remains ongoing. We continue to urge anyone who feels they may be a victim or have information related to the conduct in this case to please contact 1-800- CALL FBI.” (link)

Meanwhile, Clinton-allied liberals are absolutely triggered…

Shareblue is the brain-child of far left activist David Brock; a rabid Clinton advocate. Recently Shareblue hired Allison “Avi” Girvin as the Über leftist CEO for Shareblue Media. Girvin was previously the head of NBC News’s Business, Tech, and Media unit.

Apparently the death of Jeffrey Epstein, a pedophile and sex trafficker directly connected to the Clinton cabal, has triggered the maximum alert warning for “Avi” and the Shareblue community, as they dispatch urgent talking points for their social media army:

In #5 above “ROLCON” refers to role playing as a conservative.

The “stalwarts” are those activists paid to go on-line into all social media platforms and defend the interests of the far-left ideology. It would appear Mr. Epstein’s death has activated the need for an urgent crisis response from the political left.

Universal Studios Cancels Release of Movie Where “Deplorables” are Hunted by Liberal Elites…

Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on August 10, 2019 by sundance

Eh, who didn’t see this coming. Universal Studios has decided to stop the release of the controversial film, The Hunt. The violent plot for the movie is where liberal elites (rich democrats) hunt deplorables (less rich Trump supporters) for sport and gratification.

Apparently the backlash against the production company penetrated the echo-chamber and someone finally said this might not be such a good idea. Ya think?

“While Universal Pictures had already paused the marketing campaign for The Hunt, after thoughtful consideration, the studio has decided to cancel our plans to release the film,” the studio said in Saturday’s statement. “We stand by our filmmakers and will continue to distribute films in partnership with bold and visionary creators, like those associated with this satirical social thriller, but we understand that now is not the right time to release this film.” (link)

President Trump drew attention to the highly inappropriate movie yesterday. Even though the deplorables win in the end of the movie, the premise of humans being hunted based on ideology was viewed as, well, inappropriate and sketchy by most.

Jeffrey Epstein Dead – Suicide Suspected “Really?”– FBI Launches Investigation, AG Bill Barr “Appalled”….

Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on August 10, 2019 by sundance

The federal Bureau of Prisons has announced Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.

He was discovered at roughly 6:30 a.m. Saturday and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

According to the New York Times: “Epstein was housed in a special unit with extra security, but he was not under suicide watch.” Many people are wondering how he was not under surveillance after an incident last month where a suicide attempt was suspected.

Attorney General Bill Barr released the following statement:

“I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody. Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered. In addition to the FBI’s investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein’s death.”

Given the nature of the underlying investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s activity as a pedophile and sex trafficker; and given the names of high profile politicians, international billionaires and powerful diplomats Mr. Epstein was accused of supplying with ‘sex slaves’; there is a great deal of speculation his death may have been assisted suicide.

Almost every person discussing the background case of Epstein’s involvement suspected Epstein would not live to testify about his network of powerful people. His death by suicide/other was one of the more predictable aspects to his case. That’s exactly the reason why everyone now has suspicions.

“The FBI is investigating”… is not exactly a confidence building statement.

Between White Supremacy and Leftist Extremism – Understanding the New Cycle of American Violence

Between White Supremacy and Leftist Extremism – Understanding the New Cycle of American Violence

Source: AP Photo/John Minchillo

Earlier this year we completed a yearlong survey and analysis of troll propaganda coupled with online radicalization–and the growth of terrorist communities. That research was published in the U.S. Army cyber defense review and includes a conversation that Spans from ISIS, to white supremacists and the newer left-wing radical groups, including ANTIFA.

While ISIS was on a decline, in terms of their global physical presence, we saw a significant uptick in their recruiting –both online and on the dark web. In the middle of this– ISIS came to the international spotlight by changing the nature of recruitment and how terrorism was conducted. On a parallel path– we saw the movement from White Supremacist organizations, like Stormfront, that copycatted not only ISIS’s online engagement strategy but fundraising through Bitcoin.ANTIFA’s rise also became enmeshed in ISIS’s web, as ANTIFA leaders met with ISIS in London to discuss recruiting methods and to plot attacks on President Trump and G20 events.

Meme and internet subculture played a large role in the proliferation of ideas – as lower Millennial and Gen Z’ers find the same “punk rock” catalysts of ISIS recruiting in WS and LE idea sharing. The echo chambers that get created allow for two problems to fester.

Firstly, that the rhetoric and community created is seductive and hard to leave. Secondly, that academics generally misunderstand the true nature of trolling and troll culture – as clearly evident in this Harvard Politics piece that assumes the remove kebab meme is analogous to ideological shaping – when in reality, it’s part of a layered troll of layered memes simply supporting people who have already fermented their anger and tied it to an ideology – whether WS or LE.

The Manifesto of the Christchurch shooter was the ultimate troll – a combination of memes, popular reddit commentary and sh*tposts woven into a “manifesto” that was little more than a finger to Muslims and the establishment in New Zealand.

A quick review of the Meme rise and fall of Belle Delphine should give you an idea of how you can’t fully grasp meme culture, unless you’re in it. Academics are failing at this.

Similarly, the conflict of ideologies between extreme right and extreme left, online, has led to echo chambers where we now have a proliferation of WS conversations that fear Migrant Gangs and Migrants, as well as LE conversations advocating socialism, socialist upheaval and anarchy. In 2018, the only thing missing was guns. By 2019, groups and individuals had begun arming themselves.

Our research last year identified that from WS to LE groups – there was a growing trend of cross contact with ISIS and cross-dialogue where further idea sharing occurred. Publicly available papers support the notion of cross dialogue.

However it’s more important to underscore that what WS and LE groups are doing is waging a new type of propaganda and ideological war online.

This new war is one that ISIS pioneered – and one that WS and LE groups demonstrated this week in both El Paso and Dayton – that of a new breed of “lone wolf” one that we have coined the “Laughing Man”.

The Laughing Man generally lives in our communities but illustrates their worldview and ire in online posts on popular platforms like Twitter and Instagram. They also fit a type – El Paso was a WS shooter who hated migrants and reportedly supported Trump. Dayton was an LE shooter who advocated Socialism and supported Elizabeth Warren.

Mental Health issues may have played a role in both cases and a general societal malaise egged on by meme culture within their echo chambers gave them the gumption to carry out heinous acts.

Both of these killers existed on the fringe, in plain sight. To prevent this from happening again – we need to take a page out of the books of American Muslim communities – who reduced their terror threats through community engagement – or operational counterterrorism and couple it with sensible background check policy.

But, in an America where instafame means thousands of followers, but you still don’t know your neighbor’s name—we may have to turn back to building communities and investing in community policing, police auxiliaries, interfaith organizations and secular groups that have the mettle to address this culture war – if we’re going to stop mass shootings for good.
