Default Why Russia!, Russia!, Russia! was so important and how they did it.

The article is a good read for people than can both read well and think for themselves

The battle to control America’s mind

...In the wake of the Snowden revelations, hints of further centralised US government surveillance activities using private technology companies began to emerge. The Obama administration routinely spied on reporters by monitoring their private telephone records and using that information to issue subpoenas to force them to reveal their sources. In 2014, Twitter filed a suit against the US Department of Justice and the FBI, stating that it had been served FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrants to collect the electronic communications of its users. Some of these efforts were apparently focused on the Obama administration’s attempts to sell the Iran Deal, the centrepiece of his second term.

Twitter’s lawsuit, which asked the court for permission to release a public report containing the precise number of warrants it had been served, was filed by Perkins Coie, the prominent Democratic Party-aligned DC law firm. The firm’s lead attorney in the case was a former DOJ cybersecurity expert named Michael Sussmann. Then-FBI General Counsel James Baker, who was friends with Sussman, refused Twitter’s request. Crucially, the entire cast of characters involved — including Obama, Twitter, the FBI, Perkins Coie, James Baker and Michael Sussman — would soon play important roles in a startling expansion of the US government’s nascent efforts to wage information warfare against its own citizens.

The device by which this transformation was effectuated was the so-called Russiagate conspiracy theory, which falsely claimed that Donald Trump had been handed the White House by agents of Vladimir Putin. Even if the evidence for Russiagate was often only legible to true believers on social media, who often sounded like characters in a Philip K. Dick novel, its function in Washington was entirely practical. By identifying Trump as an extension of Putin, the Russiagate theory neatly transformed a foreign threat into a domestic one — thereby legitimising all-out warfare by the Washington establishment against a President that many believed to be a dangerous lunatic...

Default So there it is: Saying the quiet parts out loud

So there is the game, after all. A Demonicrat from Kommifornia finally admits the raw truth. They are sending our tax dollars to other countries, while they also spend our tax dollars on illegal immigrants streaming, unvetted,. from 160 countries, across our Southern border.

Dem Rep. Correa: Immigration ‘Not About a Number at the Border’ — It’s About Fixing ‘Economies Around the World’

by Ian Hanchett18 May 2023

On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “The Hill,” Ranking Member of the Border Security and Enforcement Subcommittee of the House Homeland Security Committee Rep. Lou Correa (D-CA) commented on the number of encounters on the southern border by stating that “it’s not about a number at the border. It’s about trying to figure out how we kickstart these economies around the world and how to get people to stay home, to be able to earn a living and this is what we’ve been ignoring.”

Host Blake Burman asked, “I want to show you the numbers of apprehensions along the southern border all across the U.S. Before the expiration of Title 42, you can see there…it was basically at about 10,000 a day. The last couple of days that’s dropped in half to 5,000. 5,000, Congressman, is still a really big number when you’re talking about day after day after day, week after week, month after month. Is that what success looks like in your eyes?”

Correa answered, “Well, let’s pull back and look at the big picture here. The big picture is this is the biggest movement of refugees since World War II. … Right now, post-COVID world economies are shattered around the world. So, you expect people to try to come to the United States. And by the way, the U.S. is the only economy really hitting on all its cylinders. Unemployment is really low, looking at inflation. So, people are voting with their feet to move to come to the U.S. At the same time, look at your numbers, what’s going on at the border. Those numbers are going down. But Mexico also is holding a lot of those refugees, trying to take care of them. Guatemala is trying to do the same thing. Colombia has almost 2.5 million Venezuelan refugees. This is a worldwide phenomenon. The Canadians are struggling to figure it out. So, it’s not about a number at the border. It’s about trying to figure out how we kickstart these economies around the world and how to get people to stay home, to be able to earn a living and this is what we’ve been ignoring.”
Hey! Did you catch that bit about because the covid? But here is a couple curious oddities: Trump's alleged claim about shithole countries. Remember that? It was purported to have occurred on January 10, 2018. Oh, hey! Remember that bit about they are not sending their best and drugs and criminal and what not? June 16, 2015.

One other to add which is likely not making the rounds on the O'Bammy approved news networks:

Record Number of Chinese Nationals Showing Up at U.S. Borders
by Bob Price and Randy Clark18 May 2023

Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 10,000 migrants who entered the U.S. between ports of entry during the first seven months of Fiscal Year 23. Of those, more than 8,000 were single adults. The single adult apprehensions exceed the total of all Chinese migrants apprehended during the past six fiscal years combined.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Nationwide Encounters report for April shows an explosion in the number of Chinese migrants apprehended by Border Patrol agents this year. In April alone, agents apprehended 3,195 Chinese nationals. This brought the seven-month total for Chinese migrants apprehended in FY23 (which began on October 1, 2022) to 9,753. Of those, CBP reported that 8,207 (84) percent were single adults. Neary 5,200 of these migrants entered the U.S. in the Rio Grande Valley Sector in southeast Texas...
BTW: The above article goes into the demographics pretty well. Female/male (include military aged males)/children etc.

The Demonicrats from Kommifornia and elsewhere are appropriating our tax dollars to pay for the replacement of the very tax payers that are footing the bill for it. Remember OBamma telling Joe the Plumber that he needed to "spread the wealth around"? As opposed to buying food, shelter and clothing for his own family I s'pose.

And the cumm guzzling LambSCREAM media laps up every drop of it like the good little Communists that they are.

https://bolenreport.com/saul-alinsky...ules-radicals/
Here is the complete list from Alinsky.

RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”

Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)

RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.”

It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)

RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.”

Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”

They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)

RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)

RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”

Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”

Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)

RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”

Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)

RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

What is REALLY interesting is that Saul Alinsky died in 1972, almost 50 years ago…
So, these political tactics are, at a minimum, fifty years old. They were designed to deal with a political situation in existence during the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s – a world totally different from today. Yet, many activist groups laud these tactics without realizing their in-appropriateness in the 2020 world.

What Alinsky, and his followers, failed to comprehend is that they created a whole generation of people who cannot see beyond screaming criticism and offer any modern day solutions to social problems beyond a social shift to the hungry and dreary world of socialism/communism – something they definitely do not actually want to happen.

The counter reaction to this situation has been the rise of the humongous populist movement that elected Donald Trump. This group doesn’t put up with Alinsky-like nonsense. They outnumber the Alinski-ites 100,000 to 1.

Default Great information for the "good" people to have as reference

There are two I would highlight briefly:
Quote:
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
This is the Cloward-Piven (sp) tactic of swamp the system, inundate it. Southern boarder much??

However, it is also the kill them with their own morality, i.e. ethics and moral codes. Osama bin Laden used this to great effect against us. As a Christian founded nation, we fail to see the true evil of some because we do not, cannot and don't want to consider the thought processes of the Demonicaly possessed rats bastards that are out there
Quote:
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”

Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
I would consider this the "relentless" rule. This may be the rule that saves in the long haul if we choose. Actually, we got no choice. Might also call it the "pedal to the metal" rule. The "Just Do it" rule. The "Dam the Torpedoes, Full Speed" ahead rule

Regardless, we are going to need to match up in the intensity level and kick it up a notch or more. Sad to say there will be spray, blow back and adversities along the way. Perhaps steeling your resolve now would be prudent, because anything less than total commitment is useless, plus we will not have time or need of internal deliberations while on the path. Get right. Now, not later.

Default Good one, but not the worst there is

I got some materials about that very topic coming soon, based on a current court case even. The video mashup that is the beacon, call to action, the they let the mask slip is from FJB's dark MAGA speech in blood red, with Marine Guards posted behind him. That is pretty much the level of evil among us. I don't have it around, but it was entirely problematic. Basically, a bridge too far - IMMHO.

Default We are being programed, monitored and reprogrammed constantly

I really deliberated on posting this on JBC's gun gab thread or his fruits thread or creating a new thread or just getting another cup of coffee and get my lazy-azzed butt to work instead. This is a complicated mechanism: dealing with people, their thoughts, actions, potential actions and manipulating them to your liking. So here we are.

Let me correct that last line for you to more accurately reflect the fullness of their intentions: gathering info on a crime is one thing. a non-crime/non-event/noncompliant/person is a different matter. That is the real goal:.Pre-Crime, monitoring as well as Targeting - IMMHO. Control the masses, ensure they are complying, i.e falling for their BS - before they don't.

But here is the kicker - programing. People need to be programmed and reprogrammed constantly - in advance. Makes it easier to see if they are falling for it and thus avoid or reduce the chances of the dirty little people kicking up a ruckus in some way shape or form. Saves them time/money/effort to boot. This is where the molding of the mind happens - to facilitate a desire for Socialism, I guess. As with most programming, there needs to be constant updates, based on troubles found.

The whole censoring of Social media is just a "stop the spread" effort. We know the LambSCREAM media, aka propaganda arm, is two fold, 1) Focus your attention elsewhere, 2) Keep the panic level up to high so you will want more socialism. News is a program. Maybe you didn't realize that the people are the ones being programmed. The whole "snooping bit" is to monitor how successful the programming is. Find bugs earlier, highlight the problems caused by the previous programming

Did you happen to catch the current article about an NFL QB who had his car stolen and it happened to have the team playbook in it? Well... similar also happened in Hollywood recently,? Someone get their hands on their new programming guidelines.

BTW: I kptp some of their graphics in the article to highlight how much they believe their own bullshit. They are are all well debunked in the full on-line article

Hollywood Gun Guidelines Released With Recommendations to Manipulate Audiences
by Margaret Flavin May. 26, 2023 10:40 am



The Norman Lear Center at USC’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism has issued new guidelines for the use of guns in Hollywood. “Trigger Warning: Gun Guidelines for the Media is a new resource guide created to better understand the presence of gun use in the entertainment industry.”

The report shows how Hollywood encourages writers and directors to manipulate public opinion on topics they hold dear, including gun-control. The guide shares, “But film and television have the power to shape public perception, normalize habits, and even effect policy, which is why the way we talk about and depict guns and gun violence matters so much.”



The Norman Lear Center “is a nonpartisan research and public policy center that studies the social, political, economic and cultural impact of entertainment. On campus, from its base in the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, the Lear Center builds bridges between schools and disciplines whose faculty study aspects of entertainment, media and culture. Beyond campus, it helps bridge the gap between the entertainment industry and academia, and between them and the public. Through its scholarship, research and partnerships; its events, publications and outreach to the creative community; and its role in formulating the field of entertainment studies, the Norman Lear Center works to be at the forefront of discussion and practice — and to illuminate and repair the world.”...

<Imma fast forward to the meat-n-tators course>
...
  • Avoid portraying law enforcement use-of-force as heroic. Consider showing law enforcement characters facing consequences, or at least scrutiny for such actions, which are rarely depicted.
  • Humanize and diversify depictions of those affected by gun violence. Nuanced depictions of shooting victims can make audiences care about gun violence as a public issue.
  • Appeal to common values. Heavy-handed stories can be alienating to gun owners who feel their freedoms are being threatened, or their beliefs mocked. Instead of making gun owners the antagonist, appeal to the common values shared by parents and others who care about keeping children safe.
  • According to research by the USC Norman Lear Center Media Impact Project (MIP), gun storylines are most effective on viewers who do not own guns. Even though gun owners are tougher on the whole to persuade, gun storylines do still have an effect on their opinion. In other words, your stories matter.



The report also suggests opportunities to influence public opinion:
  • THE SOLUTION ON SCREEN = THE SOLUTION AT HOME
  • Lock it up at home. Lock it up on screen.
  • When a character comes home with a gun, show them locking it away separate from its ammunition. No more laying the gun on the counter, bedside table, or under the pillow. The action should be as natural as putting on a seatbelt when driving.
  • Representation of safe storage is imperative to the normalization of safe storage for your audiences.
  • Use this guide from the Bullet Points Project for the myriad forms of safe storage.
  • Show how quickly guns can be accessed from safe storage in an emergency.
  • Don’t make retrieval of a gun from safe storage an opportunity for consequences.
  • Audiences shouldn’t be made to feel less safe in locking a gun away securely, since the truth is empirically the opposite.
  • On the other hand, consider consequences for the characters not interested in safety.
  • Gun safety represents a largely untapped story opportunity. When told, these stories can change hearts and minds.
  • If they choose to depict or discuss a school shooting, content creators might consider explicitly drawing a connection to unsafe storage or gun laws in the show’s geographic setting.

We are being programed, monitored and reprogrammed constantly
By that I mean, they are trying to program us etc... Don't fall for it. Go bare-metal. Screw thei programs. We do not all have to listen to the Ministry of Truth's "approved" programing. But we need to keep our Constitution intact and serving the people.

The solution? Liberty

Former FBI Special Agent Left Homeless After Blowing the Whistle on FBI and DOJ – Gives Powerful Testimony on Abuses of Power and Weaponization [VIDEO]
by Patty McMurray May. 18, 2023 3:00 pm

On Thursday, three former FBI officials testified during a public whistleblower hearing by the House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle revealed in a shocking testimony that he and his family had their belongings confiscated by the FBI and were subsequently left homeless after he was suspended from the bureau for speaking out against them.

100 Percent Fed Up reports – The three FBI whistleblowers – FBI special agent Garret O’Boyle, former FBI special agent Steve Friend, and FBI staff operations specialist Marcus Allen – have all been suspended from the bureau for expressing concerns about alleged abuses of power.

These agents shared their concerns over the handling of January 6 cases, specifically that they were instructed to pursue “domestic violent extremism,” disregard standard investigative procedures, and pursue Jan. 6 investigations over child sex crimes which were deemed “no longer a priority.”

The whistleblowers also accused the FBI of inflating statistics on “domestic violent extremism” to align with the Biden regime’s political narrative. They did this by targeting pro-life groups, Catholics, and parents attending school board meetings to make it seem like they posed a domestic terrorist threat.

FBI Special Agent O’Boyle gave powerful testimony before the committee Thursday morning on the “weaponization of the FBI and DOJ,” stating that the organizations were weaponized against “not only [their] own employees, but against those institutions and individuals that are supposed to protect the American people.”

O’Boyle also revealed the hardships that he and his family have gone through after the FBI retaliated against him for vocalizing concerns over their apparent abuses of power.

“I am here today because, even though I am wrongfully suspended from the FBI, I am dutifully bound to the American people to play my small role in rectifying these issues,” said O’Boyle. “After all, I never swore an oath to the FBI. I swore an oath to the Constitution.”

“I’ve served my nation and my community my entire adult life. First in the United States Army, then as a police officer, and lastly as an FBI special agent,” said O’Boyle, who then went on to list his impressive accomplishments throughout his time in the army, in law enforcement, and in the FBI.

“I have been smeared as a malcontent and subpar FBI employee,” O’Boyle said. “This smear stands in stark contrast to my life of public service. The smear campaign, disgusting as it is, is unsurprising.”

“Despite our oath to uphold the Constitution, too many in the FBI aren’t willing to sacrifice for the hard right over the way wrong,” he continued. “We see what becomes of whistleblowers. How the FBI destroys their careers, suspends them under false pretenses… This is by design. It creates an Orwellian atmosphere that silences opposition and discussion.”

O’Boyle explains that he “couldn’t knowingly continue on this path silently without speaking out against the weaponization I witnessed, even if it meant losing my job, my career, my livelihood, my family’s home, and now, my anonymity.”

O’Boyle called upon the members of the Committee to “ensure that the weaponization of our government against the people comes to an end, no matter the personal cost.”

The former agent then told the shocking, heartbreaking story of how the FBI transferred him and his family across the country for a new assignment. After selling their home, O’Boyle, his wife, and four daughter – the youngest of whom was just two weeks old. On his first day, he was suspended and confiscated all his and his family’s possessions, leaving them homeless...
