Fake News Claims Nameless Frenchman Funded Capitol Protest

Posted on by

Probably in an attempt to create a counter-narrative to the massive globalist coup that stole the election for Joe Biden, the mainstream media has come up with a story that one inflammatory speaker at the Capitol protest, Nick Fuentes, was funded by “dark money,” including a $500,000 contribution in BitCoin from a 35 year old French computer programmer, who wanted to leave his money to people and causes he believes in, and so sent it in BtC to Fuentes largely, but also to various Alt Right groups, including anti-immigration groups like VDare and others, such as,the Unz Review…

The Unz Review and VDare are part of the mainstream “dissent” category and that itself suggests a bogus story, besides the convenient fact that the computer programmer has now supposedly committed suicide and his obituary, even in a Google web cache has been wiped clean. Google. Uh huh.

We are to take this claim at face value, but affidavits,IP addresses, captured packets of data, images from hardware, statistical analysis…all the mountain of evidence behind Italygate and StoptheSteal is pure guff, outlandish conspiracy, and alternative reality.

Yes, the real foreign interference is not the documented mega- hack by Iranians, Chinese, NATO members and others, directed by the transnational climate-change cabal, but this  BTC- loving corpus-ex-machina.

See, this is why I oppose cryptocurrencies and any amateurish encryption.

At least, if you stick to your own credit-card, a check- book, paper receipts and cash, there is a trail you can use to prove you were framed. If you play around with BTC and VPNs, anyone can pin anything on you…

What’s the real story? I haven’t got deep into this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some globalist/cabal affiliated group sent money to the Trump protest through these controlled opposition groups.

The reliable and shrewd Mish Shedlock thinks it was stolen money...which is again quite possible with untraceable cryptocurrencies.

At the very least, the whole story is extremely odd.

 

 

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.”

Vatican Laundered Bribe To Convict Reformist Cardinal?

Posted on by

Adding to the dense murky fog swirling around the Holy See’s finances, Australian financial authorities have finally identified a gap of $2 million between actual money transfers from the Vatican to Australia and what can be accounted for.

A credible rumor suggests that the secret funds were used for bribes to secure a conviction of Cardinal Pell, who was appointed to the Secretariat for the Economy in 2014 and wished to reform Vatican finances.

It has been alleged that Cardinal Becciu, dismissed late in 2020 by Pope Francis for financial irregularities that included embezzlement charges against his assistant, might be behind the payment. Becciu opposed Pell’s reforms.

This is how many Italian papers have portrayed the affair. But, since Francis is a corrupt, worldly politician who promotes the Green agenda more than he preaches the Gospel of Jesus, this is unlikely to be the whole story.

Francis’ decision in December 2020 to take over Vatican finances sounds less like cleaning up the place than it does putting whatever was going on into his direct control to keep the dirt out of the public eye, says Gizadeathstar’s Joseph Farrell:

“In other words, Francis has moved the Vatican Bank from the Secretariat of State, normally headed by an archbishop or a cardinal archbishop, to the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See, in other words, placing the bank directly, for the first time in its chequered history, under the Pope. To draw a somewhat clumsy analogy, this is akin to President Kennedy’s National Security Action Memorandum, that removed the CIA from oversight of covert operations, and placed those operations directly under the military, i.e., directly under the chain of command ending in the Presidency. In effect, what Francis has done is to move the whole “hidden system of finance” that is the Vatican Bank, a participant in that global “hidden system” that I’ve speculated about for so long, and placed it directly under papal control.

It might be argued that this was the only way to deal with the bank, to gain any measure of real oversight or transparency in the institution.

But I suspect it augurs something entirely different, and far more ominous, namely, the final capture of the papacy by ‘the high financial cabal’. “

 

 

5 Key Republicans Drop Dead In Short Space

Posted on by

While coincidences are certainly possible, it’s awfully odd that so many Republican representatives and senators have died in unclear circumstances in just a week or two. Ever since the Church Committee hearings in 1975, the public has known about the development of weapons capable of inducing disease through aerosols and darts. The technology to depress or elevate blood pressure and thereby induce heart attacks and aneurisms has been around for decades.

The five “useful” deaths:

December 28: Nolan Metatal, 75, former State Senator and Representative, Mississippi

He did not file for reelection in 2020, but still remained a leader of higher eduction at the Capitol.

From Covid 19

December 29: Luke Letlow, 41 yrs. Congressman-elect, Louisiana.

Vocal Trump supporter who had appeared with him in a campaign video.

No known co-morbidities.

Heart attack following Covid-related procedure. Was on ventilator, needlessly.

January 1: Ben Chafin Jr., 60 yrs. State Senator, Virginia.

Ardent gun rights supporter with a very secure tenure in front of him.

From Covid 19.

January 2: Mike Reese, 42 yrs. State Representative, Pennsylvania. Republican House Caucus Chairman, 2020-21.

From a brain aneurism after testing positive and quarantining for Covid 19.

Pennsylvania was a hotly contested state in the Presidential election and Reese was a key figure because of the documented fraud at work there.

January 2: Dick Foley, former Connecticut GOP chairman, state representative, advisor to governors, major political operative and lobbyist, long-time friend of Paul Manafort. 71 years.

No cause of death given, but it was reported as stunning his friends and family.

 

 

 

 

Oath Keepers: Prepare For Comms Down Environment

Posted on by

From Stewart Rhodes at Oathkeepers:

“As always, Oath Keepers stands in defense of the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. What is now being installed is not a constitutional government. It’s an illegitimate regime that has unjustly taken power through massive vote fraud, to install a ChiCom puppet who will do the bidding of a mortal enemy of this nation, as well as the bidding of international elites who are in allegiance and alliance with the CCP as they pursue a common goal of destroying our Republic and enslaving the American people.

Executive Summary:

  1. Prepare for a comms down/blackout environment. Obtain CB and HAM radios, fuel, food, etc
  2. Muster NOW in their county seat. Meet face to face and sort out grid down comms and who will be “Home Guard” and part of a “Family Safe” program to stay back and protect families, while also determining who can project out to protect and assist others.  Do it now before comms go down.
  3. Muster ASAP at state level, but NOT at state Capitol. The newly formed county units must Muster in a friendly “red” county to establish comms and leadership connections for future. Establish protocols in case of lights out/comms down.
  4. Beware of false flags and traps that are now being set. Be careful who you listen to and what events you attend. Expect attempts to lure you onto enemy controlled ground where they have time to set up false flags.
  5. Prepare to walk the same path as the Founding Fathers of condemnation of an illegitimate regime, nullification/mass non-compliance, defiance, mutual defense, and resistance. See Part II for more.

FOR PATRIOTS: 

Patriots, keep your powder dry, your head on a swivel, and your gear ready to roll at moments notice.

BE PREPARED TO MOVE.  TO ROLL.  But, also keep your cool.   It can be a tough balance, but you can do it.  Get right with the Lord, get your mind right, stay cool, but be ready.

Realize that there is a swirling storm of intentional disinformation, rumor-mill crap, and cooked up false-flags running at this time.  Be careful about who you trust for information, and remember, information is not the same thing as “intel.”   Even if someone is sincere and trustworthy (in the sense of not intending to mislead) they can still be passing on false info.

Also be careful about just jumping in on any advertised or organized “patriot” event – be it a protest or an armed march of any kind.  Expect false-flags and enemy orchestrated pied piper events and traps.  Do not rush head-long into such a “Buffalo Jump” as Navy SEAL veteran Matt Bracken calls them.”

The Most Unusual “Inauguration” In US History

Posted on by

I would not call the Biden event an “inauguration.” The correct term for it is “installation.”

For instance, the Japanese empire installed the puppet Manchukuo regime in 1932.

The globalist cabal has shunted aside the overwhelming will of the people; committed the gravest of crimes, from fraud to extortion to treason; and, having sedated us with a witch’s brew of legal hocus pocus and media legerdemain, is now trying to induce over a hundred million people to say that what they saw happen on election night did not happen; that if enough powerful people say so, a lie is better than the truth; and that statistics, forensics, data, and affidavits only count if they add up on their side of the ledger, not ours.

Joe Biden, a man whose mental condition would not fit him to drive a car responsibly, is now behind the wheel of the most powerful nation on earth despite overwhelmingly losing the presidential election.

To assert as much is no longer possible on social media without a black-out of your account. In the real world, it will cost you your job, publishing contracts, and your social circle…. it may well haunt you for the rest of your life.

There has even been talk in mainstream circles of detention camps and cult deprogramming for Trump supporters and indeed anyone with the temerity to deny the official narrative that black is white, up down, and 2+2, 5.

In keeping with that fun house mirror of reality, Biden’s installation has now racked up the following “unique” identifiers [my comments are in color below]:

1.The first virtual inauguration.

Corona virus is the excuse, as it was with the mail-in votes; the real reason is to conceal Biden’s overwhelming lack of popular support and by corollary the fraud of his supposed “election.”

2.The first inauguration where crowds of supporters will be replaced by some 200,000 flags from all over the country.

Quite fitting, since he was installed by a consortium of enemy nations and domestic traitors who decided what was best for the American people, because they didn’t like the answer they got when they asked.

3. The first inauguration where the sitting president has not called the successor to congratulate him on winning.

Why would he? Trump knows Biden didn’t win. Biden knows Biden didn’t win. Everyone knows Biden didn’t win.

4. The first inauguration where the previous president has never officially conceded to the new one, despite the MSM mislabeling as concession a speech in which Trump mentioned a new administration without naming it in anyway.

He didn’t concede because he didn’t lose.

5.The first inauguration for a man whose name has never been mentioned in any speech by the current administration.

Perhaps this is because Biden’s is only a puppet regime whose strings are being pulled by the globalist cabal. He is completely replaceable by any other puppet. The only question is which side, Americanist or Globalist, will emerge victorious from the power struggle now unfolding behind the scenes, as well as overtly.

6.The first inauguration where the sitting president has not invited his successor to  the White House, as is customary. Melania Trump has also refused to meet Jill Biden and has not invited her for the customary walk through the private quarters of the White House. However, to demonstrate that it was not personal pettiness that made him break with tradition, but rather his knowledge of the fraudulent nature of the election, PDJT did write a gracious, personal note to Biden.

Biden broke into the White House, via cyber fraud. Denying him the official  White House tour reflects that reality.

7. The first inauguration in which the current president has limited his cooperation during the transition. PDJT’s civilian advistors have reportedly withheld from the Biden team pre-decision information such as those relating to troop strengths and movements and special operations missions related to counter-intelligence, as well as the vaccine distribution effort, Operation Warp Speed. However, they claim it is the Biden team that has made an overwhelming number of demands for information and that a transition team is not authorized to access sensitive classified information.

Rightly so. Biden has been documented to be the corrupt tool of the Chinese government and the Globalist climate cabal with HQ at the Vatican/City of London and any sovereign government would be loathe to let him share national security intelligence for any reason whatever.

9. The first inauguration in which the current president will not be in attendance.

See 5 and 6.

10. The first inauguration where the successor has been denied [by PDJT] the usual government-sanctioned military plane to fly him in to DC. The Bidens flew in to Andrews Joint Base on a private charter from Delaware.

This is not a matter of pettiness, as it is being described by the mainstream media. Trump was lawfully elected; Biden is simply a pawn installed through a conspiracy of domestic and foreign enemies. These enemies plotted and executed a seditious and treasonous coup that they are now propagandizing as a valid succession, but the military and PJDT are not buying it.

11. The first inauguration in which the number of National Guard troops and a smaller contingent of military  on the ground exceeds the number deployed by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan. Troop numbers have been estimated at around 30,000 in DC, with many more around the country, although the mainstream media is underestimating that by over 10,000. At least one official has used the figure 65,000. In addition, unlike deployments at previous inaugurations, these troops are armed lethally and are authorized to use lethal force. And although vastly in excess of any threat detected so far, they look like they’re sticking around.

12. The first inauguration in which reports are that large numbers of the National Guard turned their back on the pretender’s motorcade.

13. The first inauguration in which FLOTUS’ wardrobe conveyed political messages to the base.

Notice that Melania Trump wore a black suit in the signature style of Jackie Kennedy, shortly after PDJT was virtually assassinated by his vice president in collusion with the cabal, in much the same way that decades ago, Kennedy was physically assassinated by his vice-president Lyndon Johnson, at the behest of the cabal. Files on the Kennedy assassination were among the FBI files declassified in a massive dump by POTUS over the last few days. Melania Trump’s dress, with orange hexagons, recalls the military symbol for fire, according to some observers.

14. The first inauguration where the Capitol is surrounded by a 7 ft high security fence topped with razor wire, rather than barbed wire, with multiple roads and bridges blocked off, and military check points for entry and exit.

 

Patrick Byrne: Walk Past The Barking Dogs…Or Lose

Posted on by

The former CEO of Overstock.com, more notorious as the publisher of the Deep Capture website, advises the right to be Shaolin Monks:

“The other side will try to provoke us, but we are like Shaolin monks: We “walk on past the barking dogs” (as my martial arts master taught me). As he put it to me so many decades ago:  “When a dog barks at you, you don’t feel a need to bark back at it, or to run over and kick the dog: you walk past the barking dog.” Similarly, in the days ahead as we patriotic Americans gather publicly to make our positions known, when the Goon-Left shows up we do not get in screaming matches with them, we do not let our tempers rise.  We let them bark all they want while we maintain our discipline, poise, and calmness. That is how we show the American people who we are, and who the Goons really are. It is how we win.

Of course, if and only if the dogs actually attack, not just bark but attack,  at that point you have the right of all free men and women to defend yourselves, with whatever minimum of force lets you resolve the situation safely. Just remember, however, the Goons think they win if they can make you go violent in front of the TV cameras. And they are right, they will win….. unless you have shown such a preponderance of control that no reasonable observer could question that they were the aggressors, and you were exercising your right to self-defence.”

How I wish I could agree with Mr. Byrne.

But I cannot.

The truth is most of the conservatives at the Capitol protest did indeed behave like Shaolin monks, as the New York Post reporter’s footage that I posted earlier demonstrates.

A few let loose, but only AFTER the police lobbed smoke bombs, tasered them, and used pepper spray….and after various agents provocateurs instigated brawls and vandalized the building, albeit on a much smaller scale than anything America witnessed through the last two years of inner cities on fire.

The problem is not that the right was tricked into breaking the law.

The problem is they did not break the law….at least, not at first.

It is not trespass if you are invited into a building. The guards let people in and did nothing to discourage what was going on.

Watching from across the world, I believed the guards were sympathetic and eager to let people in.

Point two. Even if they had not been invited in, I would not see anything wrong in people entering the house of the people, something they do routinely during tours.

How much more so during an existential crisis of the republic?

It is the will of the people, tempered by the constitution of the nation, that hallows the halls of government. The Representatives are interlopers if they do not represent the people and the Senators are only hired guns if they do not represent the constitution.

When the people’s will is thwarted for evil ends and the constitution cast aside like a used rag then the halls of government are no longer hallowed but cursed; no more Mount Sinai, but a golden calf consecrated to Libido Dominandi.

That is my first point. Conservatives were a. not really doing anything very bad and b. were quite justified in whatever they did do by the egregious behavior of their targets.

My second argument with Mr. Byrne is that agents provocateurs can act without any assistance from the ordinary citizen.

By this I mean that provocateurs and those they provoke can both be stage managed. Anyone could have a social media account opened in their name and a dozen MAGA rants posted therein. Within the totalitarian spy state in which we live, faking an online persona and then foisting it on some innocent is child’s play. A Shaolin monk, killed by an agent provocateur, can be reborn on the internet as a vile pedophile rapist, on the strength of very little but online rumor. Once that label has taken hold, posthumous rehabilitation is impossible. Once reputation is gone, then who are the good guys and who are the bad? In short, for a man who engaged the media in such hand- to- hand combat and had his own Wikipedia biography targeted, Mr. Byrne seems to have forgotten that it is not who you are, but who people think you are.

To recap my argument, not only does Mr. Byrne, one,  regurgitate the assumptions behind the mainstream narrative about January 6, two,  his advice fails to account for how Shaolin monks avoid being recast as their opposite through the media.

To elaborate. There would have been no Mahatma without Margaret Bourke White and the reverential international press that followed with her. In today’s media ethos, the Mahatma would only be Mohandas, a big- eared, toothless lecher, a pedophile rapist and Luddite, a coward and traitor intent on giving India to Pakistan. Indeed, that is how Gandhi is seen, now that the hagiographers have been succeeded by the debunkers.

My third argument contra Byrne is that violence is only a loser’s game if it is sporadic and individual. Not otherwise.

It goes without saying that John Q Public should not be stocking up on ammo and rifles in the hope of taking out his state representative. In the age of Pegasus, unmanned drones, and AI bots, he is likely to end up in a psychiatric hospital or dead.

However, the idea that wearing buttons and going about our business is going to put an end to the rot is laughable. The boot will not lift from our necks until we join hands and throw it off from us. Concerted public ACTION, not slogans is what will win the day.

Militias could indeed be a part of that action, but not in the way most people think.

I suggest citizen patrols that show up wherever BLM or Antifa threaten people, their homes and businesses. That would be a real start.

But actual physical violence is the smaller part of the problem..

It is the media distortion of reality that is the bigger part.

So another project of resistance should be to target journalists who are especially mendacious about conservatives. We should give them the same relentless public exposure and censure they give others. We could list their failed predictions, their past plagiarisms, their padded resumes, their personal and business fiascos in little biographies that could be inserted below any commentary of theirs wherever it appears and we could do this relentlessly.

Neither of these courses of action is going to win us good press on the left. And that is the final issue I have with Mr. Byrne’s criticism. It is stuck at the level of optics.

Optics is certainly important. Very important. But that doesn’t mean we give up certain options. It means we get smart about our options. It is certainly a bad idea to get caught on camera beating up a leftist goon [and here, I definitely mean a goon, not just some social justice warrior who gets on your nerves.]

The remedy is not to give up beating up on the goons.

It is to make sure the cameras are switched off when you take off your gloves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

POTUS: Farewell Address Transcript

Posted on by

From the White House:

THE PRESIDENT: My fellow Americans: Four years ago, we launched a great national effort to rebuild our country, to renew its spirit, and to restore the allegiance of this government to its citizens. In short, we embarked on a mission to make America great again — for all Americans.

As I conclude my term as the 45th President of the United States, I stand before you truly proud of what we have achieved together. We did what we came here to do — and so much more.

This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous. We extend our best wishes, and we also want them to have luck — a very important word.

[Lila: Does not mention the Biden administration. Does it even refer to the Biden administration? Safety and prosperity are the last things a treacherous, globalist socialist cabal will ever give to the country, so why mention them? And why the emphasis on luck? Did Trump see himself as unlucky? Or is this about something else?]

I’d like to begin by thanking just a few of the amazing people who made our remarkable journey possible.

First, let me express my overwhelming gratitude for the love and support of our spectacular First Lady, Melania. Let me also share my deepest appreciation to my daughter Ivanka, my son-in-law Jared, and to Barron, Don, Eric, Tiffany, and Lara. You fill my world with light and with joy.

I also want to thank Vice President Mike Pence, his wonderful wife Karen, and the entire Pence family.

[Lila: On the other hand, Pence, after stabbing his CIC in the back, didn’t bother to attend PDJT’s farewell.]

Thank you as well to my Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows; the dedicated members of the White House Staff and the Cabinet; and all the incredible people across our administration who poured out their heart and soul to fight for America.

I also want to take a moment to thank a truly exceptional group of people: the United States Secret Service. My family and I will forever be in your debt. My profound gratitude as well to everyone in the White House Military Office, the teams of Marine One and Air Force One, every member of the Armed Forces, and state and local law enforcement all across our country.

[Lila: PDJT’s has always been an administration closely intertwined with the rank and file of the armed forces, especially special operations, marines and secret service and he singles them out for mention.]

Most of all, I want to thank the American people. To serve as your President has been an honor beyond description. Thank you for this extraordinary privilege. And that’s what it is — a great privilege and a great honor.

We must never forget that while Americans will always have our disagreements, we are a nation of incredible, decent, faithful, and peace-loving citizens who all want our country to thrive and flourish and be very, very successful and good. We are a truly magnificent nation.

All Americans were horrified by the assault on our Capitol. Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated.

[Lila: The rampaging at the Capitol was largely the work of infiltrators and Trump certainly doesn’t blame his supporters but goes out of his way to endorse MAGA multiple times.]

Now more than ever, we must unify around our shared values and rise above the partisan rancor, and forge our common destiny.

Four years ago, I came to Washington as the only true outsider ever to win the presidency. I had not spent my career as a politician, but as a builder looking at open skylines and imagining infinite possibilities. I ran for President because I knew there were towering new summits for America just waiting to be scaled. I knew the potential for our nation was boundless as long as we put America first.

So I left behind my former life and stepped into a very difficult arena, but an arena nevertheless, with all sorts of potential if properly done. America had given me so much, and I wanted to give something back.

Together with millions of hardworking patriots across this land, we built the greatest political movement in the history of our country. We also built the greatest economy in the history of the world. It was about “America First” because we all wanted to make America great again. We restored the principle that a nation exists to serve its citizens. Our agenda was not about right or left, it wasn’t about Republican or Democrat, but about the good of a nation, and that means the whole nation.

With the support and prayers of the American people, we achieved more than anyone thought possible. Nobody thought we could even come close.

We passed the largest package of tax cuts and reforms in American history. We slashed more job-killing regulations than any administration had ever done before. We fixed our broken trade deals, withdrew from the horrible Trans-Pacific Partnership and the impossible Paris Climate Accord, renegotiated the one-sided South Korea deal, and we replaced NAFTA with the groundbreaking USMCA — that’s Mexico and Canada — a deal that’s worked out very, very well.

Also, and very importantly, we imposed historic and monumental tariffs on China; made a great new deal with China. But before the ink was even dry, we and the whole world got hit with the China virus. Our trade relationship was rapidly changing, billions and billions of dollars were pouring into the U.S., but the virus forced us to go in a different direction.

[Lila: The word “luck” then was a reference to the China virus striking during his administration. Of course, it was not a matter of luck, but of deliberation. And the Trump presidency and its alliances around the world were the target. Trump surely knows this and has even said he knows it. He was targeted. America was targeted. It had nothing to do with luck.]

The whole world suffered, but America outperformed other countries economically because of our incredible economy and the economy that we built. Without the foundations and footings, it wouldn’t have worked out this way. We wouldn’t have some of the best numbers we’ve ever had.

We also unlocked our energy resources and became the world’s number-one producer of oil and natural gas by far. Powered by these policies, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world. We reignited America’s job creation and achieved record-low unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women — almost everyone.

Incomes soared, wages boomed, the American Dream was restored, and millions were lifted from poverty in just a few short years. It was a miracle. The stock market set one record after another, with 148 stock market highs during this short period of time, and boosted the retirements and pensions of hardworking citizens all across our nation. 401(k)s are at a level they’ve never been at before. We’ve never seen numbers like we’ve seen, and that’s before the pandemic and after the pandemic.

We rebuilt the American manufacturing base, opened up thousands of new factories, and brought back the beautiful phrase: “Made in the USA.”

To make life better for working families, we doubled the child tax credit and signed the largest-ever expansion of funding for childcare and development. We joined with the private sector to secure commitments to train more than 16 million American workers for the jobs of tomorrow.

When our nation was hit with the terrible pandemic, we produced not one, but two vaccines with record-breaking speed, and more will quickly follow. They said it couldn’t be done but we did it. They call it a “medical miracle,” and that’s what they’re calling it right now: a “medical miracle.”

Another administration would have taken 3, 4, 5, maybe even up to 10 years to develop a vaccine. We did in nine months.

We grieve for every life lost, and we pledge in their memory to wipe out this horrible pandemic once and for all.

When the virus took its brutal toll on the world’s economy, we launched the fastest economic recovery our country has ever seen. We passed nearly $4 trillion in economic relief, saved or supported over 50 million jobs, and slashed the unemployment rate in half. These are numbers that our country has never seen before.

We created choice and transparency in healthcare, stood up to big pharma in so many ways, but especially in our effort to get favored-nations clauses added, which will give us the lowest prescription drug prices anywhere in the world.

We passed VA Choice, VA Accountability, Right to Try, and landmark criminal justice reform.

We confirmed three new justices of the United States Supreme Court. We appointed nearly 300 federal judges to interpret our Constitution as written.

For years, the American people pleaded with Washington to finally secure the nation’s borders. I am pleased to say we answered that plea and achieved the most secure border in U.S. history. We have given our brave border agents and heroic ICE officers the tools they need to do their jobs better than they have ever done before, and to enforce our laws and keep America safe.

We proudly leave the next administration with the strongest and most robust border security measures ever put into place. This includes historic agreements with Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, along with more than 450 miles of powerful new wall.

We restored American strength at home and American leadership abroad. The world respects us again. Please don’t lose that respect.

We reclaimed our sovereignty by standing up for America at the United Nations and withdrawing from the one-sided global deals that never served our interests. And NATO countries are now paying hundreds of billions of dollars more than when I arrived just a few years ago. It was very unfair. We were paying the cost for the world. Now the world is helping us.

And perhaps most importantly of all, with nearly $3 trillion, we fully rebuilt the American military — all made in the USA. We launched the first new branch of the United States Armed Forces in 75 years: the Space Force. And last spring, I stood at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and watched as American astronauts returned to space on American rockets for the first time in many, many years.

We revitalized our alliances and rallied the nations of the world to stand up to China like never before.

We obliterated the ISIS caliphate and ended the wretched life of its founder and leader, al Baghdadi. We stood up to the oppressive Iranian regime and killed the world’s top terrorist, Iranian butcher Qasem Soleimani.

We recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

As a result of our bold diplomacy and principled realism, we achieved a series of historic peace deals in the Middle East. Nobody believed it could happen. The Abraham Accords opened the doors to a future of peace and harmony, not violence and bloodshed. It is the dawn of a new Middle East, and we are bringing our soldiers home.

I am especially proud to be the first President in decades who has started no new wars.

Above all, we have reasserted the sacred idea that, in America, the government answers to the people. Our guiding light, our North Star, our unwavering conviction has been that we are here to serve the noble everyday citizens of America. Our allegiance is not to the special interests, corporations, or global entities; it’s to our children, our citizens, and to our nation itself.

As President, my top priority, my constant concern, has always been the best interests of American workers and American families. I did not seek the easiest course; by far, it was actually the most difficult. I did not seek the path that would get the least criticism. I took on the tough battles, the hardest fights, the most difficult choices because that’s what you elected me to do. Your needs were my first and last unyielding focus.

This, I hope, will be our greatest legacy: Together, we put the American people back in charge of our country. We restored self-government. We restored the idea that in America no one is forgotten, because everyone matters and everyone has a voice. We fought for the principle that every citizen is entitled to equal dignity, equal treatment, and equal rights because we are all made equal by God. Everyone is entitled to be treated with respect, to have their voice heard, and to have their government listen. You are loyal to your country, and my administration was always loyal to you.

We worked to build a country in which every citizen could find a great job and support their wonderful families. We fought for the communities where every American could be safe and schools where every child could learn. We promoted a culture where our laws would be upheld, our heroes honored, our history preserved, and law-abiding citizens are never taken for granted. Americans should take tremendous satisfaction in all that we have achieved together. It’s incredible.

Now, as I leave the White House, I have been reflecting on the dangers that threaten the priceless inheritance we all share. As the world’s most powerful nation, America faces constant threats and challenges from abroad. But the greatest danger we face is a loss of confidence in ourselves, a loss of confidence in our national greatness. A nation is only as strong as its spirit. We are only as dynamic as our pride. We are only as vibrant as the faith that beats in the hearts of our people.

No nation can long thrive that loses faith in its own values, history, and heroes, for these are the very sources of our unity and our vitality.

What has always allowed America to prevail and triumph over the great challenges of the past has been an unyielding and unashamed conviction in the nobility of our country and its unique purpose in history. We must never lose this conviction. We must never forsake our belief in America.

The key to national greatness lies in sustaining and instilling our shared national identity. That means focusing on what we have in common: the heritage that we all share.

[Lila: This is a direct hit against the diversity industry and the granting of special privileges to people for nothing more than their difference from the mainstream or the common.]

At the center of this heritage is also a robust belief in free expression, free speech, and open debate. Only if we forget who we are, and how we got here, could we ever allow political censorship and blacklisting to take place in America. It’s not even thinkable. Shutting down free and open debate violates our core values and most enduring traditions.
In America, we don’t insist on absolute conformity or enforce rigid orthodoxies and punitive speech codes. We just don’t do that. America is not a timid nation of tame souls who need to be sheltered and protected from those with whom we disagree. That’s not who we are. It will never be who we are.

[Lila: Another direct hit at the Democrats and the media for their totalitarian approach to the political speech of their critics and opponents. He calls them UNAMERICAN plainly.]

For nearly 250 years, in the face of every challenge, Americans have always summoned our unmatched courage, confidence, and fierce independence. These are the miraculous traits that once led millions of everyday citizens to set out across a wild continent and carve out a new life in the great West. It was the same profound love of our God-given freedom that willed our soldiers into battle and our astronauts into space.

As I think back on the past four years, one image rises in my mind above all others. Whenever I traveled all along the motorcade route, there were thousands and thousands of people. They came out with their families so that they could stand as we passed, and proudly wave our great American flag. It never failed to deeply move me. I knew that they did not just come out to show their support of me; they came out to show me their support and love for our country.

This is a republic of proud citizens who are united by our common conviction that America is the greatest nation in all of history. We are, and must always be, a land of hope, of light, and of glory to all the world. This is the precious inheritance that we must safeguard at every single turn.

For the past four years, I have worked to do just that. From a great hall of Muslim leaders in Riyadh to a great square of Polish people in Warsaw; from the floor of the Korean Assembly to the podium at the United Nations General Assembly; and from the Forbidden City in Beijing to the shadow of Mount Rushmore, I fought for you, I fought for your family, I fought for our country. Above all, I fought for America and all it stands for — and that is safe, strong, proud, and free.

Now, as I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning. There’s never been anything like it. The belief that a nation must serve its citizens will not dwindle but instead only grow stronger by the day.

[Lila: Again, the Biden administration is not named.]

As long as the American people hold in their hearts deep and devoted love of country, then there is nothing that this nation cannot achieve. Our communities will flourish. Our people will be prosperous. Our traditions will be cherished. Our faith will be strong. And our future will be brighter than ever before.

I go from this majestic place with a loyal and joyful heart, an optimistic spirit, and a supreme confidence that for our country and for our children, the best is yet to come.

Thank you, and farewell. God bless you. God bless the United States of America.
