Germany & The Far-Left Press Called them All Far-Right Radicals


 

COMMENT: Dear Marty,

I wrote the below report today From Germany, to my children in Canada and US.

Re: Berlin Demonstration 29.08. 2020,

Quote I am just recovering from a late night and most of yesterday afternoon viewing of many hours of life coverage of what has happened in Berlin. Police, whilst restraint, (not with it whole heartedly) but following orders from above, acted clearly on orders from Chief of Police, which were against the law. Several of the life reporting had their feeds cut midstream. Came back hours later). 95-98 percent of the attendees were peaceful. Only 2-5% had possible alternate motives and represented undesired groups. SICKENING, the Government, mainstream media and police yesterday and today played down drastically the attendees characters, motives, misrepresented their intentions, grossly(on purpose) underestimated the attendees at only 38,000. In reality at least 300,000 had congregated in Berlin for the totally legal, twice court approved, registered demonstration.

The Police had actually blocked all feeder roads and modes of transport to the main event area. Since the police had blocked the access roads there was a pileup of people pushed through inflow from the back. This was used by Police as excuse to shut down the demonstration parade, since ?distancing? was not observed. (If distancing, apparently no masks stipulated)

At the main event at the SIEGES SAEULE distancing was observed, but despite, Police illegally started to shut down the event of people sitting peacefully on the ground from around 23:00 hours. The so called “storming” of parliament was perhaps 7 (seven) people sitting on the steps of parliament “Reichstag” and yes, in the crowd one could see about 2-3 Reich’s Flags.

The incident at the Russian Embassy was similar. About 20 to 30 people shouted abuses at the police and perhaps 6-8 bottles were thrown. There were perhaps 3 Reich’s Flags. So perhaps 100 of the crowds at the Russian Embassy were of those perhaps radical supporters.

All the media is reporting and Government announces is those two events. The rest are described as a mob, COVID-19 deniers. (No one is or was denying), they just want answers to this gross miss manipulation of figures, panic enticing Government propaganda and unnecessary extremely excessive lock downs. And of course describing the demonstrators as conspiracy theorists.

It’s a great shame what is happening!!

I am sure there will be an aftermath, if not now, at the next federal election 2021 there will be huge vote swings. Unquote

Best regards

REPLY: It is very clear that the media is now the real conspirators against the people. They refuse to simply publish the truth. They are helping to create a Socialist World exactly as they did reporting so positive of the Russian Revolution. Stalin stole all the food from Ukraine killing 7 million people to pretend that Communism was a success. Papers like the New York Times cheered that Communism was the way of the future.

 

Storming the Reichstag – Another False Flag by the Government?


QUESTION: Hi Mr. Armstrong,
I followed the Berlin protest and was so happy that people are finally waking up, however, today, the whole mainstream media narrative in Germany is….
“Anger after (whatever group) tried to storm the Reichstag building!”
And that is all they bring on every news channel. I never watch mainstream media, but even radio, every 30 minutes they have to talk about a the people who tried to storm the Reichstag.
Are people that stupid?
If the mainstream media wanted to smear mother Teresa, they would plant someone to push her, harass or threaten or whatever and with cameras ready, film her angry or scared reaction and push the narrative that she is a monster. Without a doubt it would work.
They are focussing on one aspect of the demonstrations in Berlin and painting everyone with the same brush. Right wing nuts who want to take over the government.
Like they did in March when it was more known what Bill Gates is up to.
The media here in Germany had a smear campaign and laughed about how absurd it was…the tactic was to say, in a condescending way, “yes these crazy conspiracy theorist somehow believe that …
1. Bill Gates wants to depopulate the planet
2. Was banned for experiments in India
3. Wants us all chipped (the above 3 are true)
4. And THEY believe he is a reptile (which is so stupid no one would believe it)!
AND with that they smear 3 facts with an outrageous bogus statement and it automatically takes away the any validity of the 3 truthful facts.
The press and mainstream media truly are the enemy of the people.
It is so annoying to see and so many people are so easily fooled.
Is it really that easy to fool the masses? We will be herded and chipped and digital money will happen. I lose so much faith when I see what they pump out on mainstream propaganda channels worldwide.
Do people not think for themselves anymore? The lies seem and misinformation seem so obvious and almost expected!

ANSWER: The few people that stormed the Reichstag were most likely hired to do so in order to discredit the entire movement. It was less than 100 people out of hundreds of thousands. This is a standard operating procedure. The government creates that story and then they are on the phone to the press who only report that to discourage others from ever joining a march. The press is in on this and they are doing everything in their power to subjugate the people. This type of movement ends only in bloodshed.

Let us not forget that what happened in Germany on February 27, 1933, was another attempt by the government to justify suppressing the people. They argued that a sizeable portion of the parliamentary building in Berlin, the Reichstag, went up in flames from an arson attack by Communists. This justified the entire Nazi movement. It was staged as this one smells exactly the same. There were so few people involved in this incident that they were probably hired.

In the United States, pallets of bricks were being bought and delivered around cities by Acme Brick Company, which was bought in 2000 by Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway. Perhaps that is a coincidence and many blamed Buffet because he is in league with Gates and was part of his secret meeting to reduce the population of the world. Perhaps Buffet wishes he were an Egyptian Pharoh who when he died, everyone else in his court was killed to assist him in the journey for the afterlife. Perhaps he wants to reduce the population sho he too has some company given he is now 90 years old. But there is no question the bricks came from Buffets’ company.

The fact that someone was buying all these bricks to assist rioting and looting is clear evidence that someone is funding these riots and they are not simply people on the street. Nobody will dare investigate because the source is obviously political. Snopes, the pretend left-wing fact-checker, claimed this was “mostly false” because “It is possible that protesters themselves could have strategically placed bricks in easily accessible spots to facilitate causing property damage, though no evidence proved that was indeed occurring.” Who is paying for all these bricks? It seems this would have been a very easy thing to investigate – subpoena their sales records at Acme. Instead, they only denied that Buffet or Gates instructed them to deliver the bricks.

“Acme Brick Company is in the business of building, not destroying,” the group said, adding that it “has not done, and will not do, anything to intentionally promote violence.”

“Neither Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, nor anyone else at Berkshire Hathaway directed us to position brick for an unlawful purpose,” Acme added.

Notice what they are doing for they only denied Buffets or Gates while protecting the buyer. The press calls everyone accusing Acme are conspiracy nuts. Nevertheless, they avoided just answering the question. Who paid for the bricks? It is highly doubtful that anything would trace to Buffett or Gates. They are not that stupid to allow a trail. So who paid for the bricks?

If we ever really had honest investigations, we will find out that this storming of the Reichstag and the buying of these bricks will all trace to those seeking to gain political power.

What happens When the Democrats Lose?


History has been thrust upon us. We will either be a witness to a greater America or the greatest catastrophe this nation and the world has ever experienced

What If Democrats Lose?

The Democrats sense they are going to lose this election. There are stark indications. First, Biden is nowhere to be found. He hides in his basement being hidden from reality by watching CNN. Then Hillary tells Biden not to concede the election under any circumstances and then Pelosi advises Biden not to debate Trump, “It will only legitimize Trump as President and give Trump an opportunity to make you look bad.”

There are also reports that the Democrats are going to cheat in Trump’s favor so as to report that Trump is conducting a fraudulent election. They can prove it, of course, because they did it.

The Democrats have made a Devil’s bargain

If the Democrats lose this election, it is not difficult to imagine that they will go nuts, slash out at anything that moves in the wrong direction. The mobs are sufficiently riled and waiting for orders.

To partly paraphrase Victor Davis Hansen: The Democrats have made a Devil’s bargain. Marxists under Sanders provide the anarchy and chaos while Democrats watch their cities burn, having agreed to do almost nothing. They will keep COVID-19 alive as long as possible to keep the economy down. Never mind the human toll. When Democrats win, and at the time they were convinced they would win, Sanders will halt the rioting, having delivered a destroyed middle class, a badly wounded America. The Democrats will take the credit, looking like peacemakers. Sanders will then demand payment, a socialist America ready to be delivered to the globalists. And he will get it.

I believe the Democrats are in a pickle. They can’t reverse course and know that after the election or before, when the Durham investigations are over, there will be arrests and a call for their disbandment.

It started as a race struggle, accusing almost everyone of racism, but it was a feint. It now has morphed into a battle of the classes. A true Bolshevik Revolution. The battle to destroy the middle-class, the essence of America and Americanism. Marxism can never survive in a country with a strong middle-class. These are the hard working, and above all, self-reliant people that make America what it is, filled with opportunity for upward mobility, allowing people the fruit of their labor, a basic Biblical concept. The Left must eradicate them for Marxism to take hold. The globalists have demanded it, the Left has promised to deliver it. California has been the most successful with 4 million of their middle-class having exited these past 15 years.

The Democrat Speaker of the House calls Republicans ‘enemies of the state’. Biden says that President Trump wants more violence

The division between political camps is growing wider every day, if that is possible, but only one party is widening the distance. The Democrat Speaker of the House calls Republicans ‘enemies of the state’. Biden says that President Trump wants more violence. These accusations make no sense, of course, but they make it easy for us pundits to figure out Democrats. If you always translate what they say in opposite terms you will find their truth. When Pelosi says Republicans are enemies of the state, it is the opposite. When Biden says Trump wants more violence, it is the opposite. When Democrats say that Trump is working with the Russians, it is the opposite. They make it so easy.

Mobs are murdering people while private and public property is being destroyed. Families have lost their livelihoods. COVID-19, an historically minor pandemic, has been allowed to infect our society, shutting down the greatest economy we have ever seen. The human cost of expanding the power of Democrats grows daily, but they remain willing for hard-working Americans to pay the bill.

But now, the mood of the American people is beginning to change. Lest the polling organizations look foolish, they are forced to show the changing emotion of the country going against them. Once again, the Democrats have gone too far and took too big a bite.

There is no greater threat to evil than an aroused American public. We are beginning to see it. No more turning cheeks. No more being mere spectators. No more watching hoodlums attack innocent people. If the government will not or cannot protect you, you must decide to protect yourself and your family. Evil will always back off when confronted with equal or greater force.

If you don’t like what you see, wait until October

Don’t think it can’t happen here. It is happening here. The Left has thought of everything…a pandemic to shut down the economy, mandatory face masks that psychologically turn people into faceless sheep, Trump rallies halted, race riots because several Blacks resisted arrest resulting in the police being neutralized, giving the rioters carte blanche.

If you don’t like what you see, wait until October. This is not the America as we knew it. There are forces at work that will do anything to rid themselves of Donald Trump. And they don’t care about you. The police have been effectively neutered, are under siege and most likely will just show up after the fact to pick up the bodies left by the mob.

We have to decide that we will not be led as sheep to the slaughter.

For the most part, you will be dealing with a mob. A mob is nothing but a dangerous, brainless herd. A mob will do things the individual taking part would never think of doing. A mob does not consider consequences, it has no empathy, and certainly hasn’t thought of any alternatives.

You must defend yourself. How you do that is your affair. Stay away from any crowds. Stock up on groceries. If the Leftists go postal, the trucks will stop rolling. Find out what kind of self-defense laws your state has. They will either be Stand Your Ground, Castle Doctrine, or Duty To Retreat. Vermont is listed as having ‘Other Defense Laws’. States like Montana, Wyoming, New Hampshire, and 23 other states have Stand Your Ground Laws where a person has no duty to retreat before using deadly force. A Castle Doctrine state generally will allow deadly force in one’s home or car. A Duty To Retreat state is the most restrictive of self-defense. They require you to retreat no matter where you are, IF POSSIBLE. States like New York, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin are Duty To Retreat states. Do your homework and learn your particular states’ defense laws. They do change.

There is room enough for everyone in this country, but no room for traitors

We must not be driven down this path by scheming politicians, a sanctimonious and ignorant media, and cigar smoking men in dark places whose only interest is garnering more power and treasure.

We need to put this uprising to bed. We must decide that to remain as divided as we are will ultimately destroy this nation and millions of lives. If you think this all sounds irrational, again, wait until October. We can only hope and pray that thinking Americans on both sides of the political fence will find common ground and help put down this rebellion.

The Southern Democrat uprising in 1860 saw much pounding of chests and visions of glory. Four years later that glory faded with only death, suffering, and destruction enduring. There is room enough for everyone in this country, but no room for traitors.

History has been thrust upon us. We will either be a witness to a greater America or the greatest catastrophe this nation and the world has ever experienced. Without America, there will be no where else to go.

 

Social Justice Warriors Dying For Neo Liberal Cult


Ochlocracy, or Mob Rule, Will Be Democrat’s Downfall

Social Justice Warriors Dying For Neo Liberal Cult

Persons are dying across USA in pursuit of social justice goals, needlessly losing lives for poor decision-making, driven by false values. These folks put themselves in harms way following a new religion which encourages reckless self-endangerment to publicly highlight their woke state.

Woke Religion
In fact, the comparison between the new liberal religion and the Bible could not be starker. For the Marxist Woke Religion demands personal confrontations to demand misanthropes cease racist, sexist or capitalistic monstrosities or suffer, including physical attack. And so Woke Religion adherents are making a dramatic public display of their leftist piety, drawing them into ill-advised peril.

Woke v. Christ
Contra, Christianity has no demand for public confrontations of non-believers. Nor is there a call for revenge or violence for wrongdoers. Instead, Christian theology has a strong element of pacifism and states personal justification is divinely derived. Believers don’t have to prove righteousness by battle.

Social Justice Warriors in Action
In the recent Kenosha, WI shootings, a young man running down the road with a long gun was shouted out as someone who had just shot others. In response, a number of unarmed men began to chase him. As the runner fell, dropping his weapon, a few men converged on him, one fighting for the weapon and kicking him. As the young man gathered back his gun, he rolled over and began shooting.

SJW Self-Sacrifice
The shots rang out, men fell, and yet astonishingly, unarmed men kept rushing the shooter and three or four were wounded or killed. Why would unarmed men attempt to tackle one with a loaded gun fleeing after shooting others? The woke feel the need for dramatic, public excoriation of wrongdoershoping to be leftist heroes while fighting oppression. A theological explanation would include that the Woke religion, being earth bound, demands immediate proof of fealty and a tertiary delivery of justice.

Pelosi’s Ochlocracy

Nanci Pelosi, US Speaker of the House, when questioned about the rights of crowds tearing down statues, indicated she was disinterested, but accepted the inherent justice of such decisions. This is Ocholoracy, or Mob Rule. Karl Marx, Pelosi’s thought leader called criminals, beggars and vagabonds the “lumpenproletariat,” in his “Eighteenth Brumaire.” Generally, Democrats appear to accept the “wisdom of the mob,” claiming their reactions are part of public justice.

Portland SJW Martyrs
Earlier, in Portland, Ore, several Social Justice Warriors confronted an apparently deranged man on public transport for publicly insulting Islam. In response, the man stabbed both, killing one. So, how necessary was this confrontation? What did it achieve? Was the death of this SJW a monument to Woke Religion? Do SJWs believe they will be protected in public conflict by their personal righteousness?

CONCLUSION
Is Woke Religion a cultic public menace? Andrew Sullivan wrote, “We have a cult of social justice on the left, a religion whose followers show the same zeal as any born-again Evangelical.” Observing riots across America, one concludes millions are adherents of the Woke Religion. This includes violence borne of Antifa and BLM. But if the Left does not openly take control of this Marxist horde, and demand they stand down from public revenge, there will be no end to the open worship, defense of and bloodletting associated with this Ochlocratic menace. Mob Rule, wedded to this new cult, will bring a level of terror and violence reminiscent of the French Revolution.

The Subtle Poison of Political Correctness


Remember how it started: a contrived suggestion to be more welcoming and accepting of people from other countries

Tony Mangan image

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and ArchivesAugust 28, 2020

The Subtle Poison of Political CorrectnessHas political correctness changed the way many Americans address each other?

It seems that Barack Obama forewarned us about his plans to fundamentally transform America. Unfortunately, very few were able to read between the lines.

One of the more obvious tactics was to change the assignment of the title “racist” and take it from a mostly benign, but rude, expression to a serious character assassination.  Of course because he was the first Black president folks took that name seriously with a bit of fear.

At the moment, anyone identifying another by race or color, even though the identification is made in the context of what is being discussed at the time, the general population became very cautious in choosing their words, regardless of not having a biased bone in their bodies.  White people did accept being identified as a privileged White or a “White guy,” and took no serious exception to it because it was assumed we should be ashamed of what we are.

People of color who resisted playing that game, received the title of “Uncle Tom”, even if they’re a normal person and do not present themselves as a member of a previously enslaved race. There is, of course no mention of modern day slavery in the Middle East. One can only wonder where the slave drivers and hatemongers of today are spreading the same plague of slavery today.

I have spoken to numerous people whose take on “Press One for English” is a petty gripe in the face of today’s problems. However, make no mistake about why you are forced to press one for English, when you call certain places. One of the most heinous of these is medical groups where you’re needing to discuss health care issues, but cannot do so unless you press one. In my opinion that is not only a racist requirement but, more pointedly, a dictatorial demand. In a country like ours, one that is welcoming to law-abiding individuals who seek to become citizens and join Americans as one of them, should not have to start out with the same bitter taste of a dictatorship which mimics the one they left behind.

Remember how it started: a contrived suggestion to be more welcoming and accepting of people from other countries. Of course, it evolved into a negative title of who you are if you refused to comply in the application of the “kindness” practice to people here illegally.  Home-grown citizens, such as non-whites, evolved into a breach between races in our country, regardless of all being Americans.

American Indians became Native Americans regardless of not identifying those who were here before them. Be assured that this is not to suggest that one should be offended at the subdivision of races, in particular: Whites (regardless of shade)  African Americans, Hispanics, et al In moments of doubt for purposes illusive to logic, we become whites, blacks, browns, and a myriad of others. “PC” begat gays and soon after lesbians of all colors, but designated as whatever their sexual preferences are. Soon after, the wonder of transgender even among children so young they could not yet be designated except by their chromosomes and the formation of genitalia.

Some depraved PC groups have managed to bring the concept into kindergarten classes in the public school system.  Soon, drag queens and pedophiles initiated a process of distortion in the minds of these yet-to-be-developed babes.  This was certainly not for the sake of mentally impacted children rather to bring acceptance for unaccepted
members of society, but at the cost of innocent children and the rejection by Christian parents, the most-hated members of society by liberals and the Politically Correct denizens of the Democrat Socialist Progressives to destroy America. Look at what has become of the PC hyper-think of supposed kindness, that now dominates conversations to the point that simple chats can go from one meaning to another that then become offensive and “racist.”

 

 

 

Harum-Scarum Harris Will Be BLM White House Insider


She’s not kidding about being the Black Lives Matter White House Insider if elected.

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and ArchivesAugust 28, 2020

Harum-Scarum Harris Will Be BLM White House Insider

Beware all worried citizens in Democrat-controlled Blue Cities, pillaged by Black Lives Matter and Antifa anarchists: “They’re not going to stop”.

That is the pre-election promise of Senator Kamala Harris, the new Hillary Clinton, with whom defiant Democrats plan to replace Joe Biden, if elected—but only when they have to admit that Biden’s failing health prevents him from serving as president.

The harum-scarum of the street mobs won’t stop “because this is a movement”, according to Harum-Scarum Harris.

Citizens whose small businesses will be burned down will be frightened out their wits by Harum-Scarum ways.

Senator Kama Harris is not just the voice of Democrat wind-up doll, cognitive-challenged Joe Biden, worse, she’s the coming voice of Black Lives Matter—INSIDE the White House.

“They’re not going to stop,” she said of the protests. “This is a movement.” (Hollywood Reporter, June 18, 2020)

“They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not going to stop after Election Day,” Harris continued.

“Everyone should take note of that on both levels, that they’re not going to let up and they should not and we should not.”

“Harris said that the protests must continue in order to make a difference and shared that she made a “conscious decision” to become a prosecutor because she doesn’t know one Black man that has never been racially profiled.

“The only way we’re going to truly achieve change is when there are people in the system who are willing or pushing to do it, and when there are those folks who are outside of the system demanding it,” she said.”

Looks like her vision of a Nightmare America is ready to roll because there certainly now are “those folks who are outside of the system demanding it” and a BLM insider coming down the tube.

Shockingly, Harris openly admits that it is the destructive street mob movements getting the Democrats where they need to be:

“Some of the success that we’ve been able to achieve around criminal justice reform would not have happened in recent years were it not for Black Lives Matter,” Harris added. “These movements provide a counterforce to get us to where we need to be.” (Hollywood Reporter)

The legend in her own mind thinking she spins is that she became a protester while still a baby in a stroller:

“The first protest I ever attended was in a stroller when my parents were marching in the ‘60s,” she said. “It’s kind of something I’ve done my entire life.” (Hollywood Reporter)

“Noting that her parents were politically active, Harris said that she learned that the greatest movements in the country “have been born out of protests” and “understanding the power of the people to take to the streets and force their government to address what is wrong, the inequities, the inequalities, the unfairness.”

“Almost every one of those marches has been about one fundamental ideal in our country, which is equal justice under law,” she said. “And fighting to make sure that we have a government and a country that, at least every few steps, gets closer to achieving that ideal.” While the United States has not yet reached equality for all, Harris said that protests “are the catalyst to getting there.”

“The senator added that attending recent protests in Washington, D.C., gave her hope, saying that she saw “people who seemingly have nothing in common, who know they have everything in common, people of every race, age, gender together and seeing the commonality.”

“Harris also spoke about her relationship with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in another segment.

“When asked if she would consider becoming his vice president, Harris, who’s been widely reported to be on Biden’s shortlist for the role, said that she’s “honored to be part of the conversation” and will do “everything in my power” to help Biden win the election.

“Despite her recent support, Harris had previously criticized Biden during the Democratic debates.

“It was a debate,” she said of her harsh words to Biden while she was still in the running to become the Democratic nominee. “Literally it was a debate. It was called a debate. Everyone traveled to the debate. There were journalists covering the debate where there would be a debate of differences of opinions and issues.”

“I am 1,000 percent supportive of Joe Biden and I will, again, do everything I can do make sure he is elected,” Harris added.

“I’ve known Joe a long time and I care about him deeply,” she continued. “As you know, we all have family members or friends with whom we have disagreements. That doesn’t overcome or overshadow the commonality between us and the connections between us.”

Claiming activism since her days in a baby stroller, Harum-Scarum Harris must have known when she celebrated having to get out of the Democrat primaries with only 2 percent popularity among what some called “the busload of crazies”, that she would be pegged as Sleepy Joe’s running mate back on December 3, 2019.

American citizens now know, one and all, that Kamala Harris Harum-Scarum days won’t be gone until she is.

Meanwhile, she’s not kidding about being the Black Lives Matter White House Insider if elected.

The proof is in the evil of her smile in video below:

 

No, the Republicans Did Not Violate The Hatch Act


But based on original intent of the law, and the evolution of the law through amendments, the reality is that no, the Republican Party did not violate the Hatch Act

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and ArchivesAugust 27, 2020

No, the Republicans Did Not Violate The Hatch Act

During the Republican National Convention the internet exploded with accusations and articles regarding the Hatch Act.  Well known liberal left websites like The Huffington Post, and media outlets like the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and New York Times, jumped on the bandwagon.  The Party of hatred and false accusations was at it again.  The Democrats, however, this time figured they had something on the GOP that could finally stick.

Except, it doesn’t.

The Huffington Post warned, “President Donald Trump’s insistence on using the White House for much of his nominating convention may be pressuring hundreds of staff into violating a federal law prohibiting political activity on government property, ethics experts said. While the president and vice president are exempt from the Hatch Act, employees who work at the White House ― both political appointees and civil servants ― are not exempt, meaning any federal employee who helped stage the various video productions at the Republican National Convention this week or the speeches by Trump and first lady Melania Trump could be exposed to the law’s penalties, which can range from a reprimand to being fired.”

The Los Angeles Times scolded, “Inevitably, White House staffers will have to be involved in the logistics for setting up and delivering the speech, as they were in all likelihood for Melania Trump’s speech on Tuesday and for the videos from the White House that have played at the convention.  Even if the employees voluntarily choose to work on such things, it would still violate the Hatch Act. Federal employees are flatly barred from participating in political activities. And pressuring them to do so is a criminal violation under the law.”

Not so fast.

An article by David Asp for Middle Tennessee State University explains, “The Hatch Act, an attempt to regulate corruption and possible intimidation of federal employees in the civil service by their elected supervisors, was enacted by Congress in 1939. The act banned the use of federal funds for electoral purposes and forbade federal officials from coercing political support with the promise of public jobs or funds. Sen. Carl Hatch, D-N.M., introduced the act after learning that New Deal–era government programs, specifically the Works Progress Administration, were using federal funds overtly to support Democratic Party candidates in the 1938 elections.”

Asp further explains that the Hatch Act has gone through a number of growing pains, and ultimately has been amended a number of times. “In 1940 Congress amended the act to include state and local employees whose salaries included federal funds. The amendment created campaign expenditure limits on political parties and contribution limits on individuals. In 1993 Congress again amended the Hatch Act to allow most federal employees to engage actively in partisan political management and political campaigns. The amendment allowed employees to express opinions on political subjects more openly.”

The goal was to ensure the Hatch Act remained true to its original intent without necessarily quelling the First Amendment Rights of federal employees.

If you read the law in its current form, including all of the amendments, you learn that The Hatch Act applies to “federal civilian executive branch employees,” with rare exceptions, as well as to some state, Washington, D.C., and local government employees whose work involves federally funded programs (remember, the 1940 amendment).

The goal based on the current law is to ensure federal programs “are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation.”

The federal employees in question are then divided into “less restricted” and “further restricted” categories.  The less restricted the employees, the more leeway they have when it comes to “taking part in partisan political management or partisan political campaigns.”  If they do so, however, they are not supposed to use their titles or positions “while engaged in political activity,” pressure workers to take part in campaigns or use politics to interfere in business pending “before their employing office.”

The employees with heavier restrictions tend to be those working in intelligence or enforcement agencies such as the FBI or Federal Election Commission. They are not allowed to engage in partisan political management or political campaigns.

To the staff, the event at the White House was like any other event.  They were not engaged in political activity, they were simply doing their job.  They were not promoting their political agenda in a corrupt manner, nor were they being forced to promote a political agenda through political activity.  They were simply doing their job of setting up chairs, editing film, or whatever.

As for the accusation regarding Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivering a video from his federally paid for trip to Israel?  He took a moment of his own free time to make the video, and presented himself as a citizen, family man, and American rather than Secretary of State.  The funds to get him to Israel were not for the purpose of the video, therefore federal funds were not misappropriated.

Could some of the Republican National Convention, considering that much of it was at the White House, if you are a nit-picker, be riding the line between violation and non-violation?  I suppose if you really wanted to pick it apart, you could say that.  But based on original intent of the law, and the evolution of the law through amendments, the reality is that no, the Republican Party did not violate the Hatch Act.

Businesses LEAVE PORTLAND After DEMOCRATS FAIL To Secure The Streets For Months…

Berlin Protest Going Forward 8-29-2020


It has been a fight to be able to even have this demonstration. It illustrates how politicians no longer represent the people and are dangerously courting a political revolution and if not at the ballot, then it historically moves toward violence by force. Authorities in the western city of Giessen banned a protest planned for this week to denounce rules that bar public gatherings of more than two people. The German Constitution, like of the United States, contains the right to freedom of assembly. Pro-democracy activists in Giessen, in the state of Hesse, argued that the lockdown measures breached their freedom of assembly.

Like in America, judges rule always in favor of the government. In this case,  two lower courts sided with the local authorities and maintained the ban on demonstrations even though organizers had promised to respect distancing rules during the event. They were compelled to take it all the way to the Constitutional Court which ruled against the authorities. The Constitutional Court ruled that a general ban on demonstrations would be unconstitutional and ordered them to review their decision. It stopped short of allowing the demonstration to go ahead.

The German Constitutional Court ruled that health concerns linked to the coronavirus pandemic are NO grounds for a general ban on demonstrations.

“The local authorities had incorrectly assumed that the provision by the Hesse state government to fight the coronavirus includes a general ban on gatherings of more than two people who don’t live in the same household and has therefore violated the constitutional right to assembly.”

The Constitutional Court explicitly stated that the city of Giessen, as well as the two lower courts, must use its ruling to make a new decision on whether to allow the protests to go ahead under certain conditions or to ban them. Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Germany had achieved a fragile success and would take small steps out of the lockdown.

This ruling is important for it is clear that any pretense of locking down the entire country on a fabricated virus with only 3,600 deaths out of 130,450 confirmed cases with a population of 82 million bringing the death rate in Germany to 0.0000439%. This by no means justifying the destruction of the world economy. This is a hidden agenda to redesign the economy GREEN which is destroying the German auto industry to achieve this Great Reset of the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates.

The German Protest against Gates at the famous Victory Column

As expected, Facebook is hard at work preventing postings of Berlin in support of Bill Gates. Facebook’s policies of suppressing the truth should disqualify them as a social media platform and should be shut down as propaganda promoters against the Constitutional principles of a free society. Perhaps we should call this the Conspiracy of the Harvard Dropouts?

We have to wonder will these people be dragged from their offices one day and charges with crimes against humanity? They have deliberately caused untold hard to the livelihoods of the world population.
