Biden’s Attack on the Press – Same as Lenin


Armstrong Economics Blog/Press Re-Posted Jun 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Washington Post and New York Times should look at history. They may have waged war to get rid of Trump and cheered all night long when Biden was declared the winner. But little did they realize that those in Washington behind the curtain pulling all the strings in the Biden Administration are not about to allow the press to do to them what they willingly did to Trump should they suddenly wake up and smell the red stain Marxist roses. Fred Ryan, a publisher of The Washington Post, has come out complaining about Biden’s attack upon the press that helped him get in power.

Journalists are suddenly discovering that they are being targeted aggressively under the new Biden Administration. Biden’s Justice Department has pursued subpoenas for reporters’ email logs issued to Google, which operates the New York Times’ email systems. Biden’s Administration has even imposed a gag order compelling a New York Times’ attorney to keep remain silent about the fact that federal authorities were seeking to seize his colleagues’ records. Biden has even barred the New York Times executives from discussing the legal battle with the New York Times’ newsroom, which means they cannot even report when is going on. So much for freedom of the press and the First Amendment.

In November the Bolshevik government issued the Decree on the Press which closed down many opposition media outlets which were deemed counter-revolutionary; the decree was widely criticized, including by many Bolsheviks themselves, for compromising freedom of the press although the Council of People’s Commissars ( Sovnarkom) said that the measure would only be temporary, which was a lie. (Pipes, Richard (1990). The Russian Revolution: 1899–1919 id/pp. 521–522; London: Collins Harvill. ISBN 978-0-679-73660-8.)

I find it ironic that people send hate mail and say I am manipulating the world because what I forecast always unfolds. I think if you simply read history and understand that human nature remains the same throughout the ages, just maybe you will see that the LEFT always acts in the very same manner because to them, only they are right, and to achieve their UTOPIA means that they must suppress everyone else. How do you think the killing of over 200 million people in the last Communist Revolutions and wars was justified? They also argue that the resistance must be crushed to reach the promised land of Karl Marx.

Parent Fights Back – Resistance is not Futile

Active Engagement Continues, Parents and Teachers Begin Standing Up Against Virginia School Boards


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 8, 2021 | Sundance | 53 Comments

Parents across the nation are beginning to recognize just how infected local school boards have become with the advancement of Critical Race Theory (CRT).  More and more parents and students are uniting to push back against the politicization of schools by ideologues within the school administration.

In Loudon County Virginia the school board is confronted by concerned parents.  One teacher from Fairfax County traveled to support the parents in Loudon County and sends a message of support to parents and students.   It is great to see a teacher confront the machine…

We need more teachers like her…  GREAT JOB !

If the education fractures or cleaves between Red States (Freedom, Patriotism) and Blue States (Indoctrination, Sheep), we will likely see an even greater intellectual diminishment amid the Democrat orthodoxy which is dependent on communal thought.

One example of the parent’s message:

President Trump Reaffirms Intent to Campaign Against Lisa Murkowski


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 8, 2021 | Sundance | 44 Comments

In a statement released yesterday President Donald Trump reaffirms his intention to campaign against Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski next year.  As President Trump notes the energy policy of the Biden administration is directly against the interests of Alaskan residents; yet, Murkowski does nothing to protect her constituents.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Senator Lisa Murkowski has cost the great people of Alaska billions and billions of dollars by voting for Radical Left Biden appointees, which in turn led to the revocation of ANWR drilling, which Alaskans have been fighting to see happen for six decades. Not only did Murkowski kill the biggest economic stimulant for the State, but also one of the biggest energy producing sites in the world.

Nobody thought ANWR could be opened. We got it done, and she allowed it to be killed. She’s the best friend Washington Democrats ever had—and Alaska’s reward for that betrayal is an empowered Left coming after their wealth and jobs. I think she will be met very harshly by the Alaska voters in 15 months, and I will be there to campaign against her!”  (LINK)

This is the third time President Trump has advocated for the primary removal of Murkowski.

New York Times Editorial Board Member Mara Gay Says She Was Forced to Witness American Flags on Memorial Day and That is Very Disturbing


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 8, 2021 | Sundance | 331 Comments

This soundbite from MSNBC personifies the moonbattery currently infecting American discourse.  New York Times editorial board member, Mara Gay, shares her experience driving to Long Island, New York, on Memorial Day and how disturbed she was witnessing American flags.

Ms. Gay states the implied message by anyone displaying an American flag is: “this is my country”, and she finds that “alarmingly disturbing.”

According to the New York Times outlook, it is unthinkable to contemplate that people would show patriotism -actual, real life patriotism- by flying American flags and associating themselves with America as their country.  The entire concept is just horrific.  WATCH:

No good communist ideologue would ever want to be exposed to American flags that represent concepts like “Liberty”, “Independence”, or heaven forbid “Freedom”.   Ms. Gay was exposed to authentic American patriotism, the equivalent of garlic to a vampire; and be warned…  she is committed to doubling her efforts to isolate, marginalize and ridicule anyone who dare fly Old Glory…

Fly or embrace the American Flag as representative of your pride in America, your nation, and the New York Times will call you racist.

State Reps from Wisconsin, Alaska, Georgia and Virginia Traveling to Arizona to Review Forensic Ballot Audit Process

Last week a group of representatives from Pennsylvania toured the Arizona facility conducting the Maricopa County audit.  According to Griselda Zetino from KTAR, today a contingent from Alaska (including David Eastman), and one from Georgia (Burt Jones and Brandon Beach) are doing the same.

Additionally, Zetino is reporting that state reps from Wisconsin and Virginia are also expected to travel to Arizona and tour the process for conducting a forensic ballot audit of the 2020 election.

At last count the Arizona auditors had reviewed 1.6 million of the 2.1 million ballots.

Inappropriate Laughter, Kamala Harris Cannot Respond to Border Visit Question


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 8, 2021 | Sundance | 253 Comments

There is absolutely nothing, not one thing, in the curriculum vitae of Kamala Harris that qualifies her for any elected office; she genuinely is not intelligent, coherent, or able to think rationally about issues or events.  Some have likened her to the “female Obama”, but that’s unfair to Obama.  Harris is even more profoundly over-her-head than Obama was.  At least Obama had the skillset to be able to fake it in public.

Harris’s tell is the introduction of laughter, inappropriate laughter, cringeworthy awkwardness, when she is in the uncomfortable position of having to articulate any issue of importance that she just doesn’t comprehend.  Harris has soundbites, rehearsed talking points, that she has trained herself to remember during public engagements.  However, as soon as someone pushes her on the details of those talking points… she stutters, stammers and eventually starts laughing as a deflection.  It is the most transparently obvious trait of a ‘poser’ without any qualification for the position.  Stunningly so.

In this softball interview with Lester Holt on the Today Show the host simply asked her about why she hasn’t visited the U.S. border with Mexico during the crisis taking place with illegal immigration.  Her response is cringe. Watch [Video at 4:30 prompted]

The transparency of her ineptitude is why she couldn’t gain more than 3% support during the Democrat presidential primary.  However, her installation on the ticket was directly because she is from the stable of Obama’s toolbox.  Harris has no capacity for independent or original thought.  A total lack of intellect.  Stunning how so many leftists can see this and yet they must pretend they do not.

Again, David Mamet famously said… In order to advance the ideology of the far-left, the entire apparatus around the fraud must pretend not to know things. Kamala Harris is a walking personification of people pretending not to know she is a total idiot in the world of governance.  I can only imagine the private conversations amid world leaders who are looking at this.

Poll Tested vs Ideology, Kamala Harris Tells Central American Migrants Not to Come to U.S. Illegally


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 7, 2021 | Sundance | 51 Comments

It’s only racist when President Trump does it.  Today the seriously unqualified Kamala Harris delivered the same message as President Trump during a visit to Guatemala telling the people of the central American nation “do not come” to the United States.

Harris continued: “believe, if you come to our border, you will be turned back“.   She is not sure, but it’s likely that illegal aliens will get caught, so it’s best not to do it… or something.  [Video 12:35 – Prompted]

The lack of professionalism and political diplomacy is stunning.  Mrs. Kamala Harris waxed philosophically, in a semi-coherent ideological ramble, for more than triple the amount of time spoken by the host nation.   The joint press conference is painful in its presented immaturity from the second in line to the office.

DOJ Says it Seized $2.3 Million in Bitcoin from Colonial Pipeline Hackers

Sketchy doesn’t begin to describe this DOJ narrative.

According to their press release the DOJ seized 63.7 Bitcoin (digital currency) through accessing a server in North Carolina used to enter the Bitcoin wallet password of the original hackers.  However, the DOJ still claims the “hackers” were sophisticated Russian operatives.  Meaning the “Russian Hackers” were so sophisticated they could hack a major gas pipeline, but not sophisticated enough to protect their wallet and hosted it online on a US based server?

DOJ […] approximately 63.7 bitcoins, representing the proceeds of the victim’s ransom payment, had been transferred to a specific address, for which the FBI has the “private key,” or the rough equivalent of a password needed to access assets accessible from the specific Bitcoin address. (read more)

Doesn’t this seem like either the private key wasn’t private, or the FBI was the original hacker of the pipeline?

WASHINGTON – The Department of Justice today announced that it has seized 63.7 bitcoins currently valued at approximately $2.3 million. These funds allegedly represent the proceeds of a May 8, ransom payment to individuals in a group known as DarkSide, which had targeted Colonial Pipeline, resulting in critical infrastructure being taken out of operation. The seizure warrant was authorized earlier today by the Honorable Laurel Beeler, U.S. Magistrate Judge for the Northern District of California.

“Following the money remains one of the most basic, yet powerful tools we have,” said Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco for the U.S. Department of Justice. “Ransom payments are the fuel that propels the digital extortion engine, and today’s announcement demonstrates that the United States will use all available tools to make these attacks more costly and less profitable for criminal enterprises. We will continue to target the entire ransomware ecosystem to disrupt and deter these attacks. Today’s announcements also demonstrate the value of early notification to law enforcement; we thank Colonial Pipeline for quickly notifying the FBI when they learned that they were targeted by DarkSide.”

“There is no place beyond the reach of the FBI to conceal illicit funds that will prevent us from imposing risk and consequences upon malicious cyber actors,” said FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate. “We will continue to use all of our available resources and leverage our domestic and international partnerships to disrupt ransomware attacks and protect our private sector partners and the American public.” (full press release)

Is Being Canceled a Badge of Honor?

COMMENT: I find myself canceled. I think this is a new badge of honor!

REPLY: I fully agree. We are being targeted the same as those targeted by Stalin because he feared what they too thought and might be able to overthrow him. The New York Times supported Stalin as well.
