A Leftist Defends Trump As America’s Champion

Posted on by

Emmanuel Pastreich a leftist with intellectual integrity has written a defense of Donald Trump’s real achievements that  puts the backstabbing buffoons of the Republican party to greater shame than that which they heaped on themselves during their sniveling wimp-out on January 6.

Pastreich credits Trump with

opposing foreign wars;

opposing trade agreements that destroy the working class;

opposing immigration used as a tool against the country;

bringing the Federal Reserve more under the control of the Treasury;

opening up public discussion of the vast conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy and declassifying documents that relate to it and other crimes;

questioning the official story about 9/11 and many other conspiracies;

undermining the major media and promoting alternative media;

doing his best to defend us against the pandemic police state;

promoting the use of HCQ despite universal mockery;

supporting the hunt for pedophile blackmail rings;

and unveiling and publicizing the criminal corruption of the swamp.

It was for this last, says Pastereich, that he paid the price. He suddenly came down with Covid and shortly after was targeted by a vast election cyberhack involving multiple nations, all profiteering from the vaccine regime of the pandemic police state.

The finale of this world historical sabotage is the minor fracas now entered into official history as the Capitol Insurrection of January 6, for which Trump, painted as Miami’s answer to Osama Bin Laden, is being held solely responsible. This, argues Pastreich, is a prelude to making any dissent from the vaccine regime or the official election narrative a form of domestic terrorism subject to the full weight of the totalitarian state apparatus,

The only failing in this otherwise admirable essay is the needless pearl-clutching about Trump’s garish tastes in decor, multiple marriages, and ties to casinos and mobsters. Pastreich says he has “grudging respect” for Trump’s fundamental decency as a human being, considers him a much better president than Obama, Bush, or Clinton, but wouldn’t buy a used car from him.

Ah well. Thus ever the chattering classes. Even the very best among them would be useless on a battlefield.

We don’t have “grudging respect” for Trump. We  unequivocally like the guy. If the best you can bring to the endless inquisition about not so much Trump’s character as his style is status-signaling about your superior taste in clothes and houses, then you have established yourself only as a snob without a sense of proportion.

If his multiple wives…all of whom seen to stay friends with him… are the worst of his sins, then in the vicious dens of DC he is an innocent indeed.

 

Mike Flynn’s Brother To Command US Army Pacific Forces

Posted on by

Charles Flynn, brother of former National Security Advisor, General Mike Flynn, recently made a 4 star general, was appointed to lead US Pacific forces.

Despite initial denials, DOD has confirmed that Charles Flynn WAS in the room when the DC police chief called in to request the assistance of the National Guard during the Capitol protest on January 6 and when one or more of those officers present discussed the optics of such a move.

The fact that Flynn’s brother had earlier called for a limited military redo of the fraudulent election and was known to be a supporter of the enigmatic insider called Q or, incorrectly, QAnon, whose cryptic “drops” called for a second American revolution, concerned some DOD officials, it’s reported.
While Mike Flynn and another brother Joseph, as well as sister, Barbara Redgate, are Q sympathizers, it’s not clear where Charles’ sympathies lie. Still, the fact that he was appointed to a top post indicates that while Q may be a ‘terrorist’ to some and  FBI cointelpro to the likes of Reuters, his sympathizers are in favor in the military.

More about Trump’s retweeting of Q and Q’s more speculative and controversial claims about pedophile rings and the elites here. More on Weiner’s laptop here.

FBI: Oathkeepers Linked To Jan 6 Arrests, Sedition

Posted on by

AP News, January 20, 2021:

CINCINNATI (AP) — Federal authorities presented new details on Tuesday about three self-described members of a paramilitary group who are the first to be charged with plotting the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The FBI said a Virginia man, Thomas Edward Caldwell, appeared to be a leader of the effort. Caldwell and a man and woman from Ohio were all charged with conspiracy and other federal counts, the first of more than 125 people arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 assault to be charged with conspiracy.

The chilling details in the case included communications between the defendants and others.

“All members are in the tunnels under the capital,” the FBI quoted a message sent to Caldwell during the Capitol attack. “Seal them in turn on gas.”

Other messages referred to the legislators as “traitors” and called for “night hunting.”

The FBI collected social media messages, photos and video to identify them as part of the Oath Keepers, which believes in a “shadowy conspiracy” to strip Americans of their rights.

Messages included in FBI charging documents had quotes with the three suspects exulting over breaching the Capitol, and Caldwell telling an Oath Keepers leader he was ready to attack Ohio’s capital of Columbus.

“We need to do this at the local level,” he allegedly messaged. “Lets (sic) storm the capitol in Ohio. Tell me when!”

Details of the documents made public offer some insight to planning and coordination behind the extraordinary attack, which apparently took law enforcement by surprise despite various warnings online.

The Oath Keepers group often recruits current and former military, police or other first responders. Records show that Donovan Crowl, 50, served in the U.S. Marines. He was arrested along with Jessica Watkins, 38. Both are Champaign County, Ohio, residents. It wasn’t clear immediately whether either Caldwell or Watkins has military or law enforcement experience.

The FBI said some Oath Keepers members were wearing helmets, protective vests and items with the group’s name and motto: “Not On Our Watch.” The FBI also said that they seemed to “move in an organized and practiced fashion and force their way to the front of the crowd gathered around a door to the U.S. Capitol.”

An affidavit filed against Caldwell states that he was involved in the planning and coordinating of the Capitol breach with Watkins and Crowl. Watkins, who allegedly called herself the commanding officer, and Crowl allegedly belong to the Ohio State Regular Militia, dues-paying members of the Oath Keepers. In one social media post, the FBI said, Watkins pictured Crowl and called him “one of my guys.”

The Lazarus Smile: A Review

Posted on by

I have a review of Christoph Amberger’s conspiracy fiction debut, “The Lazarus Smile” at Amazon. You can read it later in this post. But first, here’s a bit about Amberger.

Excerpt from a biography of Christoph Amberger:

“In 2005, Amberger published “Hot Trading Secrets: How to Get In and Out of the Market with Huge Gains in Any Climate” for New York-based John Wiley.

From 2007-10, he turned his attention to create Agora Inc.’s first internet video platform, TodaysFinancialNews.com. His weekly political show, “Amberger’s Smackdown”, was a favorite of his up to 200,000 readers of his daily e-letters. Amberger retired from Agora Inc. in January of 2010.

An avid competitive fencer and collector of fencing-related art and literature, he is considered one of the foremost authorities on Western swordplay. From 1994-2000, he published the trailblazing “Hammerterz Forum”… a journal devoted to the exploration of historical western swordplay. His 1998 book, “The Secret History of the Sword”, continues to be one of the perennial bestsellers of Western martial arts historiography.

In 2009, Amberger made his debut as a novelist with his conspiracy thriller “The Lazarus Smile”.

The book is published by Secret Archives Press and is serialized on Facebook, if you want to read it that way.

Here’s my Amazon review:

“I debated whether to give this exceptionally well-written book 4 or 5 stars only because it does jump around a bit. The plot is tricky and there are dozens of characters, ranging from first-century rivals of Nero to slum-dwellers in Sadr City. But the writing is so crisp it all comes together pretty soon, and if you’re willing to flip back and forth until you get the details, you will soon be engrossed. Amberger’s book isn’t your typical historical novel. It’s fast-paced and rich in detail. The wry insights and colorful imagery make its Byzantine century-spanning plot not just credible, but unnervingly plausible. An ancient manuscript contains proof that Saint Paul was actually part of a political conspiracy, thereby undermining the Roman church’s claim to enshrine the authentic teachings of Jesus. Naturally, everyone wants to get their hands on the papers, among them, the Vatican, the Nazis, and the Muslim Brotherhood. In the middle is Sebastian Stahl, a German immigrant and expert swordsman, whom a mysterious neighbor has given the papers to guard. Stahl sounds suspiciously like Amberger, a renowned fencer, scholar, and financial analyst, but he is a likeable everyman who manages to hold together the world-historical scheming around him.

What also holds it together are observations like this one about some would-be enemies of empire:

“American jihadis couldn’t tell a Shiite from a shiitake…..They were white boys with olive skins who’d get caught playing holy war with paintball guns. Osman was an American who resented Americans, because he thought in their eyes he wasn’t American enough.”

If you’re wondering how that fits in with Tiberius Alexander and Heinrich Himmler, read the book.

Now that I have, I’ll be busy trying to find out what really DID happen on the road to Damascus and whether much of what is taught to us as history is anything more than a form of mass manipulation.”

Comment:

What’s really interesting is that a conspiratorial view of Saint Paul is something David Icke, a prominent anti-NWO activist endorses.

Icke, however, not only thinks Paul was a Roman agent, he thinks Jesus didn’t exist historically.  There he crosses the line, as far as I know, since there is as much evidence for the existence of Jesus as for many other figures. The historical problems lie elsewhere, in the veracity of specific claims about resurrection or miracles, for example.

Amberger’s  book cites David Strauss’s criticism of the historicity of the Bible.  Strauss and Renan (Vie de Jesus) dealt severe blows to orthodox belief in the nineteenth century, but it is not clear that they had the last words.

Pre 9-11 Put Options Records Destroyed by CBOE

From Bob Wenzel at EconomicPolicyJournal.com:

Explosive new information has broken with regard to destruction of pre-9-11 options trading records.

Just prior to 9-11, someone (or group of people) bought large amounts of put options on various airline stocks. Put options gain in value when a stock goes down. The airline stocks went down after 9-11. Continue reading →

Edward Bernays On Why Conspiracies Work

Posted on by

“In almost every act of our lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons […] who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world.”

Climategate: Freakonomics Author Says Climate Models Driven By Funding

Posted on by

“Freakonomics” co-author, Stephen J. Dubner weighs in on Climate-gate in The New York Times:

“The current generation of climate-prediction models are, as Lowell Wood puts it, “enormously crude.” … “The climate models are crude in space and they’re crude in time,” he continues. “So there’s an enormous amount of natural phenomena they can’t model. They can’t do even giant storms like hurricanes.”

There are several reasons for this, [Nathan] Myhrvold explains. Today’s models use a grid of cells to map the earth, and those grids are too large to allow for the modeling of actual weather. Smaller and more accurate grids would require better modeling software, which would require more computing power. “We’re trying to predict climate change 20 to 30 years from now,” he says, “but it will take us almost the same amount of time for the computer industry to give us fast enough computers to do the job.”

That said, most current climate models tend to produce similar predictions. This might lead one to reasonably conclude that climate scientists have a pretty good handle on the future.

Not so, says Wood.

“Everybody turns their knobs” — that is, adjusts the control parameters and coefficients of their models — “so they aren’t the outlier, because the outlying model is going to have difficulty getting funded.” In other words, the economic reality of research funding, rather than a disinterested and uncoordinated scientific consensus, leads the models to approximately match one another. It isn’t that current climate models should be ignored, Wood says — but, when considering the fate of the planet, one should properly appreciate their limited nature.”

Dubner´s piece reads Climate-gate as a kind of Rorscharch test for pundits. If you´re pro AGW, then all this is a tempest in a tea-cup (Paul Krugman). If you´re anti AGW, (James Delingpole), then it´s the greatest scientific scandal of the century.

Krugman:

“All those e-mails — people have never seen what academic discussion looks like. There’s not a single smoking gun in there. There’s nothing in there. And the travesty is that people are not able to explain why the fact that 1988 was a very warm year doesn’t actually mean that global warming has stopped. I mean, that’s loose wording. Right? Everything is about — we’re really in the same situation as if there was one extremely warm day in April. And then people are saying, well, you see, May is cooler than April, there’s no trend here. And that’s what — the travesty is how hard it has been to explain…”

Delingpole:

“If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW.”

Well, I think of myself as a critic, but I don´t see the scandal right now as definitively one or the other — either game, set and match…..or a fizzle. It´s obviously a well-timed and massive hit to AGW, but I can think of worse things done in the name of science….from experiments in mind-control on unsuspecting patients… to Lysenko…..

As for its impact on AGW, I´m afraid the spin-machine will quickly rewrite the significance of some of the language used by the rogue scientists.

Still, at the end of the day, it all helps to erode people´s trust in expert authority..and that is always a good thing.
