Buffalo-horned guy is NOT in prison. They don’t jail agent provocateurs. As he was clearly chosen to play the “crazed” leader of the “insurrection,” thereby enabling the mainstream to paint anyone who questions the validity of the election as equally loony (by association), any “story” about him is a lie. He’s clearly NOT in prison because, to repeat, they don’t jail actors. Otherwise, the actors wouldn’t sign up. The media TELLS you these “insurrectionists” are in jail to scare you and any other potential protestors.
And Sicknick, we know, wasn’t killed during the fake event. But we’re to believe he died the next day? Huh?! Like saying Covid was a psyop (yes, it was), with the draconian responses all designed to get you to take the killer jabs (indeed). But, ya know, the virus is still real. lol
You may very well be right. A lot of us certainly thought he was purposefully chosen to be the "face" of this event. I'm going to try and find out just where he's imprisoned. But just taking the story on its face value, the video Tucker aired does destroy the "insurrectionist" narrative on its own. I think it's best to concentrate on things that are demonstrably provable first. Thanks.
"Tucker Carlson produced the most incredible mainstream journalism I have ever seen" - I totally agree. Also, "What every real investigative journalist should be asking is; what are the odds of four officers associated with that even committing suicide? But those questions aren’t allowed." I can think of only one reason the 4 would commit suicide and that is that THEY DIDN'T; instead they were likely 'suicided' because they wouldn't go along with the hoax. If some FBI thug put a gun to my head and said 'shoot yourself or we'll kill your children - or go along with the hoax", I'd be the 5th guy.
Funny, I'm listening to Max Blumenthal on Jimmy Dore talking about this very story right now. I guess it is a big story, won't chalk this one up to synchronicity. We had similar political prisoners (and still do) in Canada over the trucker convoy.
There aren't many like Jimmy on the Left today, other than my friends Naomi Wolf, Cindy Sheehan, and Cynthia McKinney, who have any respect for civil liberties. Thanks!
Anyone who is "allowed" on national media is not to be trusted, FULL STOP.
1. They are either actively promoting a false narrative (propaganda) or,
2. They are using a blend of truth and lies (gate keeping), or
3. They are unknowingly being used to provide a particular narrative that they truly believe. (peer pressure)
All three are not to be trusted. Given the fact that they are ALLOWED to report or discuss on these controlled platforms is all we need to know.
Don, you of all people should know. You were an authoritative source (expert) and you were too close to the truth so you were removed from the approved list of commenters at the last minute.
To put it another way, if you were a director of a movie, would you even remotely allow your actors to go far off script? Of course not. Why do we think that those handful of controlling interests would do any different? We emphatically know it's scripted from the top. We repeatedly see the evidence over and over again, yet somehow we want to believe that this time its different.
This is unbelievably sophisticated psychological warfare. Total mind control operations. And it doesn't take a vast army of operatives, even though it was reported the Air Force alone has 50k active intel agents operating on the web. It only takes a few at the top to shape the narrative, the middle to follow along for financial or social pressures, and the rest just parrot the lines and themes because that's what we do.
It works across all spectrums and divisions. We all have this capacity to "believe our lying eyes". Almost no one can even prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that anything has happened on a national scale. For example the train wreck in ohio? were you there? So we are required to put trust in something someone else said or video they made. And let's face it, we can fake audio and video that is indistinguishable from reality. Multiply this across our information overloaded lives and it gets scary. Now we can barely even take the time to think about one story critically much less the bombardment of info that rains over us.
Most people are going to fall into category 3. They're the most sincere, they're passionate, they come across to others in their target audience as trustworthy. They really do believe what they're saying. But it's really easy to use these people to further the agenda of division, misdirection, and distraction. And it trickles down stream. We believe them, we start parroting the message, others believe us, so on.
So what's to be done? Ignore it. It's mostly irrelevant anyway. I could care less about Jan 6th because it's theater and it has no bearing on my life whatsoever. Civil protests are stupid and those that participate are just being duped into wasting their energy and being used as props. The last real protest in the US was Occupy Wall street and we saw how that ended. All around the world these poor sheep let off some steam and think they've done something, but it never accomplishes anything at all. No policy or politician has ever changed because retards hold signs.
Most of us are too lazy, too addicted to the drama, to our points of view, and too chickenshit to actually protest where it counts. By disobeying petty tyrants, by refusing to participate, by withdrawing your support and your money. If we stopped paying attention they would lose it. Why do you think Tucker is such a grounding rod at the moment? Because no one is paying attention to the rest of them. That's not an accident. No one watches regular cable news besides a few wack jobs. If we stopped voting altogether in national elections it would reveal the Emperor has no Clothes. We should direct our energies into getting into power where we actually have some pull, like your school boards, your county commissions, your sheriffs dept's. Local radio stations and small time newspapers. Places where Soros, the ADL, the FBI and all the other Jewish power centers don't have complete dominance. You notice that those groups have in fact already begun targeting those areas. The rest are locked up. They purposely get everyone worked up and divided on issues that none of have a hope to change. Even dog catcher's races might be too much for us soon enough, so get more local. How about where you work? Tell your bosses to pound sand when they "require" masks or "diversity training" Get your fellows to see the ridiculousness of calling Peter Pamela because he's had a mental breakdown. Tell them they're likely to die if they get another jab. If they push back, at least you know who to avoid. Work in small groups. Discourage talk of national importance or the story of the day and bring it back to things that matter in your town and in your lives. If it's too much and can't be avoided, sow the seeds of doubt. It's not hard once you practice. Mockery is powerful. Showing the emperor has no clothes is contagious. The benefit of pinpoint focus is that your enemies are just as likely to be focused on those big picture distractions as well. So you make an end run around them like they've been doing to us forever. Here's something encouraging. If we can spread this message to ONE person and teach them to do the same the power of exponential comes into play. Now that's powerful.
I appreciate you writing such a thoughtful post, Ranch. Sure, much of the time I feel as cynical as you do here. But what if, for instance, I had gone on Laura Ingraham a few years back? What if they didn't suddenly cancel me a few hours after inviting me? Or if I actually do get asked on Tucker Carlson, which I feel is a real possibility? Do I, by virtue of appearing on something like Fox News, instantly lose my credibility? I can guarantee you that I will not change my views, no matter what platform I'm on. If I didn't have that bit of perhaps naive optimism in me, fueled by my mother's consistently positive outlook, and watching too many Frank Capra films, then I don't think I'd bother writing about these things. What point would that serve, if there is really and truly no hope at all? Maybe I'm fooling myself, but I'm still willing to fight, despite the odds. We are in a spiritual battle, and I want to do what I can. Thanks.
I've followed you for 7 years now and I would put you in Cat. 3. You're sincere, you are motivated by what you feel is truth, your main goal is to be an honest broker and motivate change. So let's say you actually found the smoking gun on who killed JFK. You acquired unassailable proof. All the networks gave you 1 hour prime time to explain and detail it all.
Tell me what actually would it do to advance your goals of liberty, freedom, equality, populism, or any other possible outcome you so eloquently preach about. Would potholes get filled? Would healthcare improve? Would it spark a revolution to hold politicians accountable? Would the Senate hold hearings and enact new anti-assassination laws?
You already know even if that scenario unfolded, nothing would change. People would get worked up, you'd be famous and trotted out to talk about it on the talk show circuit, some blue ribbon panels would be created, vows to remember and never repeat would be expressed, but in the end nothing would cause the changes you're seeking.
We know this because bombshell proofs have already been exposed over and over and over again with nothing so much as a brief clamor and endless debate, all the while, the corruption advances while we're distracted over meaningless rhetoric. Tucker has taken the mantel over from those before him in being the focus on those very things.
It's a sophisticated operation. Take a controversy, reveal some truth, express outrage, finger a villain, add a pinch of nostalgia and produce some platitudes then our 5 minutes of hate is over and we rinse and repeat. It diverts the energy that could actually produce results and streams it into non-productive activities while leaving the feelings of satisfaction that we have done something because we agree with the talking head who is fuming. This is literally mental masturbation. Just like porn.
So ask yourself, why would you go on Tucker? Honest answer would be to sell some books and make a buck and I'd respect that. Get people introduced to new ideas that their government is corrupt, wake up the sheep. Noble but fruitless. The bottom line is that regardless of you personally, it still contributes to the problem and not the solution.
Jimmy Dore is a phenomenal example. He's a lot like you politically, maybe a bit more left, but he has risen to great popularity and his segments on Tucker are amazing. He speaks a lot of truth and simplifies big issues with his uncanny humor and energy and passionately pushes for do-able changes. Like stop voting for either party, medicare for all, stop all war, etc. All big picture national problems. And despite the influence and his rise in popularity he's accomplished nothing. Because it's all locked up in those areas. So as I said, he's diverting attention and energy from real problem solving. You will NEVER see someone on tucker or any other show talking about self-sufficiency, about local organizing, about taking control of your own health. Never. Because that's real problem solving.
Not until we focus on power. Power is the root that requires our full attention. We aren't rich enough, connected enough, or bullies enough to get power on a large scale. But we can at our jobs, churches, school boards, town councils, with our friends, families, and colleagues, etc. This is where we truly make a difference.
Of course we pay attention but not to engage in fruitless debates. We stay informed but keep our focus. Think of it as War, because to our enemies it truly is. If they want us focused on something there's a reason and we should do the opposite. Never forget they HATE us. They use categories 1,2, & 3 as weapons. Weapons to divide, distract, discourage, defeat, and ultimately destroy us.
It's hard to argue with anything you've said, Ranch. This is a systemic problem, and a spiritual battle. We are fighting absolute evil. Uncovering one truth will accomplish little in and of itself. But I do think that the truth about the JFK assassination, or 9/11, or January 6, being widely disseminated to the masses would have a domino effect. Other lies would crumble in their wake. I'm glad you think I'm sincere. Sometimes I wonder why I care so much. Being a populist is especially hard when so many people can be uncaring, unthinking, and willing to kill the messenger. But it's a part of me. I wouldn't know any other way to be. Sure it seems pointless sometimes, but what keeps me going is the idea that, in spite of it all, there is somewhere and some way, some kind of hope. Thanks.
I don't want you to change a thing. You're right where you're supposed to be. As a writer, you're definitely one of my hero's. Your essay on 70's liberty absolutely blew me away. The fact that I grew up in Fairfax (got out of that hell hole in 99) gives me a connection to you that only people from that evil place can understand. If I ever pass thru (unlikely, ha ha) i'll buy you a beer.
We're all on a journey. Along different places on the path going in the same place hopefully. We each play a part. No matter how insignificant. We matter. I believe God loves us but that love is Ultimate and un-controlling. Allowing us to stray, to learn, to repent, and re-adjust. We will never attain perfection but that's just fine. I just want people to realize that our enemies are cunning and quite brilliant in an evil way. I like to remind not only them, but myself, that there are ways to be efficient in fighting them. And that they don't win. They really can't. As a fellow cynic, I still ultimately see the hope in the whole thing we call LIFE. We will overcome. God loves us. He hates evil, not the evil doer.
And if nobody has told you today, I love you, the work that you do, and everyone here. Thanks
You wouldn’t lose credibility with me if you appeared on a MSM TV show. Some of the people who appear on those shows as guests tell the truth. The shows occasionally allow the truth to come out for various reasons, for example to establish credibility or satisfy their requirement to reveal the truth to justify (in their minds) the bad consequences of carrying out the actions that they told the truth about. It is the anchors of those shows, and the regular guests/commentators, who virtually always fall into one of the categories that Ranch listed:
1. Actively promoting a false narrative. These are the people who know they are lying.
2. Blending truth and lies, i.e. gate keeping or controlled opposition. These people also know they are lying.
3. Unknowingly being used to provide a particular narrative. These are the useful idiots who genuinely believe the lies and nonsense that they constantly spew. This category contains by far the vast majority of people, on both the left and the right. It only takes a very few in categories 1 and 2 to establish the lies and propaganda, and the vast sea of sheeple in category 3 will believe and parrot those lies.
Seems to me that people are taking the Mullins quote wrong in a way. If you apply it to the host of a talk program like Tucker Carlson, it's obviously true. If you extend it to anyone and everyone who may be a guest on his show, that's taking it too far.
Allowing someone to be a regular host of a talk show is a far cry from micromanaging who can be allowed on as a guest. If the guests were all all plants it would become obvious pretty quickly and the target audience would tune out just as quickly.
Doesn't matter if they debunk the whole thing, there's no rule of law any more anyway. There were so many spooks in that place, anybody running around in there was just being set up. The DOJ, FBI, IRS
all the alphabet agencies are just the modern day Pretorian Guard protecting the Caeser's from all the
You're right about there being no more rule of law. But the odd thing about our corrupt leaders is that they've always wanted to maintain a warm and fuzzy front, as exemplified by all the former cheerleaders and aspiring actors who become television "journalists." They seem reluctant to let the public to see just how evil they really are. So if enough Americans wake up even a bit to their corruption, who knows? As my son said, let's learn to accept a win. Thanks.
Very odd. They ignore Americans, even overwhelming majorities of them. I would suspect they don't want to convert them into Russians during the Soviet regime who said "they pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work." (Tell me why "income" tax applies to ordinary wages, and the Social Security act stipulates the tax is paid on income, when it's calculated as a percentage of wages. But then the signing statement on 1040 information returns stipulates we're all perjurers; multiply even.)
I still wonder about Jeff Rense' claim over 80% of Americans took the jabracadabra. Perhaps in Oregon, but not even in Mormondom, and I suspect close to 60% country-wide. He also insists on continuing to reduce covid's (Wuhan strain) 2 full orders of magnitude. Get him some THCV!
I'm not sure about your social security question. Maybe it's just a question of rules, and rules are rules whether smart stupid good or bad.
About the 80% being vaxxed, I'd say it's even higher than that in my conservative republican rural Minnesota county. (It's absolutely dominated by the influence of the Mayo Clinic.)
Jeff and Erica do a great job, but they aren't perfect either. But, as long as the vax is a
self-spreading vax, then it doesn't matter how many got it. It's an STD and even casual contact could spread it. Rense's fatalism is probably justified in that "they won".
Don, this is redundant, like Carlson's great "revelation" of CIA complicity in the killing of the King of Camelot. (Yawn). I knew there was government/Insider involvement in that when it happened and I was in Junior High School. Like I knew the first time the hybrid, tranny, Channel 7 newscaster Liz Cho started screeching about a Coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China back in Feb. 2020 it was a contrived hoax. Like I knew 9/11 was Mossad/CIA/Organized Crime, planned and orchestrated the day the towers came down. And like I knew that anyone who actually believed that was a real insurrection on Jan. 6th instead of contrived theater, (the consequences for the participants notwithstanding) with concomitant belief in the sincerity of that pathetic and dangerous clown/actor, Trump, is hopelessly retarded. On and on, ad infinitum. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together should be able to immediately see through the horse manure that is constantly thrown at us in this Talmudic, Freemasonic, fun-house of mendacity and perversion known as America. Unfortunately, the vast majority of denizens in the land of the fee and the home of the slave most definitely do not have two brain cells to rub together. I quoted him before and it bears repeating. The late, great Eustace Mullins said, never trust anyone who is allowed to appear on television. He didn't elaborate as to why but the reason is as obvious as the nose on your face. Television is completely owned and controlled by our racial enemies. You know, that nefarious, Turkic/Mongol tribe that wants nothing more than for Caucasians to be wiped from the face of the earth. There is as much of a chance of an honest, integrous champion of white people given TV access as there is of a reincarnation of Adolph Hitler being ordained Grand Rabbi of orthodox Jewry in Jerusalem.
I get what you're saying, Hereticdrummer, but keep in mind millions of people that watch Tucker Carlson aren't as aware of these things as we are. Video of the face of the "insurrection" being escorted around the Capitol building by friendly police officers might very well have caused an epiphany in some of them. I loved Mullins, but technically I've been on television- the Travel Channel and, if you count it, RT (several times). I hope if one day Tucker invites me on, which isn't impossible, that you'll still trust me. Thanks.
Good points, Don, but with all respect, you've never been on mainstream major network channels that are viewed by millions. (CBS, ABC, NBC etc.). I'm certain that is what Mullins was referring to. In the unlikely event Carlson does have you on his show, it is a safe bet that you will only be able to convey things within strict parameters, just like he does. The sheeple are so demoralized, cowed, deracinated and apathetic, I seriously doubt if a jolt comparable to the eruption of the magnitude of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii would shake them from their benumbed slumber. It is astonishing how many of them still stumble around wearing masks for a fictitious virus. Know that I'll always trust you. You are the real deal.
Synthetic, gain of function is not "fictitious". But ignore me. I've been on television; talking about my science fair project on hydrogen regarding the oil embargo, and perp-walked for the criminal US Army after release OR. (It probably created the virus you consider fictitious.)
It is fictitious. It has never been isolated or purified in accordance with Koch's postulates, the gold standard for doing such, in any lab or medical facility on earth. There is a standing 1.2 million dollar reward for anyone who can definitively proof the existence of, "Stupid-19" but there have been no takers nor shall there be. It only exists as a code construct on a computer program and in the febrile imaginations of the fools who believe in it.
So, if I were to somehow obtain enough of it (perhaps from the covid deer or their scat), and purify it with size exclusion chromatography or something, could I get $1.2 million for it? Somewhat tricky since these are RNA viruses, and thus quite unstable. They're not polyhedral, so wouldn't likely crystallize. Modern biochemistry doesn't do it that way any longer. They randomly break it into segments, multiply them with PCR, isolate them (remove interfering structures), cap an end before randomly degrading them, sequence them (Mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization? Or do they still use electrophoresis?), and recombine them in silico.
Koch's postulates as applied are crap. Ever heard of "terrain theory"? Not everyone exposed to a pathogen, "isolated" or not, contracts the illness. Those with recovered (screw "natural"; it inherited or something?), etc. immunity usually won't contract the corresponding illness.
Yes, I know "Terrain Theory". The best doctors and scientists heartily endorse it. It definitively demonstrates that what the con artists posing as medical and biological professionals are calling viruses are in fact the detritus of dead and dying cells from toxemia. No so-called "virus" has ever been proven to exist, anywhere. So how can you obtain enough of something non-existent? The 4 procedural steps in Koch's postulates are eminently logical. Check out the work of Stefan Lanka, a former top virologist in Germany. He quit the field, proving it is based on pseudo-science and fraud, and it is. Not beyond a reasonable doubt, beyond any doubt.
"The focus should be on what was reported, not who reported it." I'll take any win they're willing to give us even if it's their attempt to trap us down the road. Then we can just blow up the road. Those playing both sides will be weeded out eventually, but I don't like them in the fox hole with me.
Absolutely one of your best articles yet. I've never agreed more. Outstanding!!! Maybe the policemen died of covid? Tucker and Fox are great. It's a serious serious shame how blind and dumb the sheeple are.
🗣️"As George Orwell wrote in 1984, “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” This is what our leaders are doing. And it’s never been more obvious than in the case of the January 6 footage." 🎯
Wonderful piece. I always appreciate your perspective and bravery for sharing it.
Sharyl Attkisson's journalism, unwavering determination to shine the light on the darkness, truth seeking & sharing- like yours, is a rarirty. 💎 Thank you.
A lot of the footage is probably from security cameras, of which I am sure there were many in and around the Capitol. And there were undoubtedly numerous smart phones of both protestors and police/staff/politicians capturing the events also. (And body cameras for the police?) Given how quick most people are nowadays to whip out a smart phone to record something happening, I don’t doubt that there are many, many hours of video of the event.
Thanks, Phil. That means a lot coming from you. For those of you who don't know, Phil Nelson is the author of several intriguing books, especially his work on LBJ and the JFK assassination. Very honored to have you commenting here.
Good post Donald. US citizens with their eyes open, know that we have as many or more enemies living in the US as anywhere else in the world. Per the ole saying. The enemy lives within the camp. And from henceforth in this mind. Whatever evil or causality that happens to one or more US citizens in the US or abroad, and is blamed on another country or citizens thereof. The first people I will be looking at are the US citizen traitors and domestic terrorists, including the unhinged rent-a-mobs.
You know I agree with you, Mary. The great classical liberal writer H.L. Mencken once said, "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins." The latest foreign hobgoblin is Putin. Thanks.
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing them with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
To me, it's important to always include those last four words when quoting Mencken's observation on the aim of politicians and their handlers. A few authors I've read have edited that quote inserting the words "most of them imaginary", which changes the meaning.
I know that you don't do that, I'm just sayin'... I'm glad to see that you make the distinction that Mencken was a classical liberal. I've seen things written by some authors saying that Mencken was a populist, which is far off the mark. With his influence I moved away from being a populist as I got old. I'm much more cynical now.
I assume Tucker's team, and he seems to have a pretty good one, vetted this thoroughly and used something concrete to make the identification. I don't think any of the predictable naysayers in the msm have made the claim it's not Sicknick. Sicknick's family, which ironically early on objected to the lie that he was beaten, was upset that the subject was mentioned and now seems to believe the lie. But they didn't say it wasn't him. Thanks.
Buffalo-horned guy is NOT in prison. They don’t jail agent provocateurs. As he was clearly chosen to play the “crazed” leader of the “insurrection,” thereby enabling the mainstream to paint anyone who questions the validity of the election as equally loony (by association), any “story” about him is a lie. He’s clearly NOT in prison because, to repeat, they don’t jail actors. Otherwise, the actors wouldn’t sign up. The media TELLS you these “insurrectionists” are in jail to scare you and any other potential protestors.
And Sicknick, we know, wasn’t killed during the fake event. But we’re to believe he died the next day? Huh?! Like saying Covid was a psyop (yes, it was), with the draconian responses all designed to get you to take the killer jabs (indeed). But, ya know, the virus is still real. lol
You may very well be right. A lot of us certainly thought he was purposefully chosen to be the "face" of this event. I'm going to try and find out just where he's imprisoned. But just taking the story on its face value, the video Tucker aired does destroy the "insurrectionist" narrative on its own. I think it's best to concentrate on things that are demonstrably provable first. Thanks.

Yes, Bobby, I'd be right there with you. If only we had a free press. Thanks!
and then what's to keep them from killing your kids anyway?
You would shoot the thug even if he put a blank in the gun
to see if you would retaliate.
Either way, you must die as a rebel against the tyrants.
What an excellent article! Thank you.
Thank you, Larry!
Funny, I'm listening to Max Blumenthal on Jimmy Dore talking about this very story right now. I guess it is a big story, won't chalk this one up to synchronicity. We had similar political prisoners (and still do) in Canada over the trucker convoy.

Discourage talk of national importance or the story of the day and bring it back to things that matter in your town and in your lives. If it's too much and can't be avoided, sow the seeds of doubt. It's not hard once you practice. Mockery is powerful. Showing the emperor has no clothes is contagious. The benefit of pinpoint focus is that your enemies are just as likely to be focused on those big picture distractions as well. So you make an end run around them like they've been doing to us forever. Here's something encouraging. If we can spread this message to ONE person and teach them to do the same the power of exponential comes into play. Now that's powerful.
So Tune Out, Turn Off, and Re-focus.
End of Rant
I appreciate you writing such a thoughtful post, Ranch. Sure, much of the time I feel as cynical as you do here. But what if, for instance, I had gone on Laura Ingraham a few years back? What if they didn't suddenly cancel me a few hours after inviting me? Or if I actually do get asked on Tucker Carlson, which I feel is a real possibility? Do I, by virtue of appearing on something like Fox News, instantly lose my credibility? I can guarantee you that I will not change my views, no matter what platform I'm on. If I didn't have that bit of perhaps naive optimism in me, fueled by my mother's consistently positive outlook, and watching too many Frank Capra films, then I don't think I'd bother writing about these things. What point would that serve, if there is really and truly no hope at all? Maybe I'm fooling myself, but I'm still willing to fight, despite the odds. We are in a spiritual battle, and I want to do what I can. Thanks.
Great question, Don.
Tough choice.
I've followed you for 7 years now and I would put you in Cat. 3. You're sincere, you are motivated by what you feel is truth, your main goal is to be an honest broker and motivate change. So let's say you actually found the smoking gun on who killed JFK. You acquired unassailable proof. All the networks gave you 1 hour prime time to explain and detail it all.
Tell me what actually would it do to advance your goals of liberty, freedom, equality, populism, or any other possible outcome you so eloquently preach about. Would potholes get filled? Would healthcare improve? Would it spark a revolution to hold politicians accountable? Would the Senate hold hearings and enact new anti-assassination laws?
You already know even if that scenario unfolded, nothing would change. People would get worked up, you'd be famous and trotted out to talk about it on the talk show circuit, some blue ribbon panels would be created, vows to remember and never repeat would be expressed, but in the end nothing would cause the changes you're seeking.
We know this because bombshell proofs have already been exposed over and over and over again with nothing so much as a brief clamor and endless debate, all the while, the corruption advances while we're distracted over meaningless rhetoric. Tucker has taken the mantel over from those before him in being the focus on those very things.
It's a sophisticated operation. Take a controversy, reveal some truth, express outrage, finger a villain, add a pinch of nostalgia and produce some platitudes then our 5 minutes of hate is over and we rinse and repeat. It diverts the energy that could actually produce results and streams it into non-productive activities while leaving the feelings of satisfaction that we have done something because we agree with the talking head who is fuming. This is literally mental masturbation. Just like porn.
So ask yourself, why would you go on Tucker? Honest answer would be to sell some books and make a buck and I'd respect that. Get people introduced to new ideas that their government is corrupt, wake up the sheep. Noble but fruitless. The bottom line is that regardless of you personally, it still contributes to the problem and not the solution.
Jimmy Dore is a phenomenal example. He's a lot like you politically, maybe a bit more left, but he has risen to great popularity and his segments on Tucker are amazing. He speaks a lot of truth and simplifies big issues with his uncanny humor and energy and passionately pushes for do-able changes. Like stop voting for either party, medicare for all, stop all war, etc. All big picture national problems. And despite the influence and his rise in popularity he's accomplished nothing. Because it's all locked up in those areas. So as I said, he's diverting attention and energy from real problem solving. You will NEVER see someone on tucker or any other show talking about self-sufficiency, about local organizing, about taking control of your own health. Never. Because that's real problem solving.
Not until we focus on power. Power is the root that requires our full attention. We aren't rich enough, connected enough, or bullies enough to get power on a large scale. But we can at our jobs, churches, school boards, town councils, with our friends, families, and colleagues, etc. This is where we truly make a difference.
Of course we pay attention but not to engage in fruitless debates. We stay informed but keep our focus. Think of it as War, because to our enemies it truly is. If they want us focused on something there's a reason and we should do the opposite. Never forget they HATE us. They use categories 1,2, & 3 as weapons. Weapons to divide, distract, discourage, defeat, and ultimately destroy us.
It's hard to argue with anything you've said, Ranch. This is a systemic problem, and a spiritual battle. We are fighting absolute evil. Uncovering one truth will accomplish little in and of itself. But I do think that the truth about the JFK assassination, or 9/11, or January 6, being widely disseminated to the masses would have a domino effect. Other lies would crumble in their wake. I'm glad you think I'm sincere. Sometimes I wonder why I care so much. Being a populist is especially hard when so many people can be uncaring, unthinking, and willing to kill the messenger. But it's a part of me. I wouldn't know any other way to be. Sure it seems pointless sometimes, but what keeps me going is the idea that, in spite of it all, there is somewhere and some way, some kind of hope. Thanks.
I don't want you to change a thing. You're right where you're supposed to be. As a writer, you're definitely one of my hero's. Your essay on 70's liberty absolutely blew me away. The fact that I grew up in Fairfax (got out of that hell hole in 99) gives me a connection to you that only people from that evil place can understand. If I ever pass thru (unlikely, ha ha) i'll buy you a beer.
We're all on a journey. Along different places on the path going in the same place hopefully. We each play a part. No matter how insignificant. We matter. I believe God loves us but that love is Ultimate and un-controlling. Allowing us to stray, to learn, to repent, and re-adjust. We will never attain perfection but that's just fine. I just want people to realize that our enemies are cunning and quite brilliant in an evil way. I like to remind not only them, but myself, that there are ways to be efficient in fighting them. And that they don't win. They really can't. As a fellow cynic, I still ultimately see the hope in the whole thing we call LIFE. We will overcome. God loves us. He hates evil, not the evil doer.
And if nobody has told you today, I love you, the work that you do, and everyone here. Thanks
You wouldn’t lose credibility with me if you appeared on a MSM TV show. Some of the people who appear on those shows as guests tell the truth. The shows occasionally allow the truth to come out for various reasons, for example to establish credibility or satisfy their requirement to reveal the truth to justify (in their minds) the bad consequences of carrying out the actions that they told the truth about. It is the anchors of those shows, and the regular guests/commentators, who virtually always fall into one of the categories that Ranch listed:
1. Actively promoting a false narrative. These are the people who know they are lying.
2. Blending truth and lies, i.e. gate keeping or controlled opposition. These people also know they are lying.
3. Unknowingly being used to provide a particular narrative. These are the useful idiots who genuinely believe the lies and nonsense that they constantly spew. This category contains by far the vast majority of people, on both the left and the right. It only takes a very few in categories 1 and 2 to establish the lies and propaganda, and the vast sea of sheeple in category 3 will believe and parrot those lies.
Seems to me that people are taking the Mullins quote wrong in a way. If you apply it to the host of a talk program like Tucker Carlson, it's obviously true. If you extend it to anyone and everyone who may be a guest on his show, that's taking it too far.
Allowing someone to be a regular host of a talk show is a far cry from micromanaging who can be allowed on as a guest. If the guests were all all plants it would become obvious pretty quickly and the target audience would tune out just as quickly.
Doesn't matter if they debunk the whole thing, there's no rule of law any more anyway. There were so many spooks in that place, anybody running around in there was just being set up. The DOJ, FBI, IRS
all the alphabet agencies are just the modern day Pretorian Guard protecting the Caeser's from all the
Proletariats.
You're right about there being no more rule of law. But the odd thing about our corrupt leaders is that they've always wanted to maintain a warm and fuzzy front, as exemplified by all the former cheerleaders and aspiring actors who become television "journalists." They seem reluctant to let the public to see just how evil they really are. So if enough Americans wake up even a bit to their corruption, who knows? As my son said, let's learn to accept a win. Thanks.
Very odd. They ignore Americans, even overwhelming majorities of them. I would suspect they don't want to convert them into Russians during the Soviet regime who said "they pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work." (Tell me why "income" tax applies to ordinary wages, and the Social Security act stipulates the tax is paid on income, when it's calculated as a percentage of wages. But then the signing statement on 1040 information returns stipulates we're all perjurers; multiply even.)
I still wonder about Jeff Rense' claim over 80% of Americans took the jabracadabra. Perhaps in Oregon, but not even in Mormondom, and I suspect close to 60% country-wide. He also insists on continuing to reduce covid's (Wuhan strain) 2 full orders of magnitude. Get him some THCV!
I'm not sure about your social security question. Maybe it's just a question of rules, and rules are rules whether smart stupid good or bad.
About the 80% being vaxxed, I'd say it's even higher than that in my conservative republican rural Minnesota county. (It's absolutely dominated by the influence of the Mayo Clinic.)
Jeff and Erica do a great job, but they aren't perfect either. But, as long as the vax is a
self-spreading vax, then it doesn't matter how many got it. It's an STD and even casual contact could spread it. Rense's fatalism is probably justified in that "they won".
Don, this is redundant, like Carlson's great "revelation" of CIA complicity in the killing of the King of Camelot. (Yawn). I knew there was government/Insider involvement in that when it happened and I was in Junior High School. Like I knew the first time the hybrid, tranny, Channel 7 newscaster Liz Cho started screeching about a Coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China back in Feb. 2020 it was a contrived hoax. Like I knew 9/11 was Mossad/CIA/Organized Crime, planned and orchestrated the day the towers came down. And like I knew that anyone who actually believed that was a real insurrection on Jan. 6th instead of contrived theater, (the consequences for the participants notwithstanding) with concomitant belief in the sincerity of that pathetic and dangerous clown/actor, Trump, is hopelessly retarded. On and on, ad infinitum. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together should be able to immediately see through the horse manure that is constantly thrown at us in this Talmudic, Freemasonic, fun-house of mendacity and perversion known as America. Unfortunately, the vast majority of denizens in the land of the fee and the home of the slave most definitely do not have two brain cells to rub together. I quoted him before and it bears repeating. The late, great Eustace Mullins said, never trust anyone who is allowed to appear on television. He didn't elaborate as to why but the reason is as obvious as the nose on your face. Television is completely owned and controlled by our racial enemies. You know, that nefarious, Turkic/Mongol tribe that wants nothing more than for Caucasians to be wiped from the face of the earth. There is as much of a chance of an honest, integrous champion of white people given TV access as there is of a reincarnation of Adolph Hitler being ordained Grand Rabbi of orthodox Jewry in Jerusalem.
I get what you're saying, Hereticdrummer, but keep in mind millions of people that watch Tucker Carlson aren't as aware of these things as we are. Video of the face of the "insurrection" being escorted around the Capitol building by friendly police officers might very well have caused an epiphany in some of them. I loved Mullins, but technically I've been on television- the Travel Channel and, if you count it, RT (several times). I hope if one day Tucker invites me on, which isn't impossible, that you'll still trust me. Thanks.
Good points, Don, but with all respect, you've never been on mainstream major network channels that are viewed by millions. (CBS, ABC, NBC etc.). I'm certain that is what Mullins was referring to. In the unlikely event Carlson does have you on his show, it is a safe bet that you will only be able to convey things within strict parameters, just like he does. The sheeple are so demoralized, cowed, deracinated and apathetic, I seriously doubt if a jolt comparable to the eruption of the magnitude of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii would shake them from their benumbed slumber. It is astonishing how many of them still stumble around wearing masks for a fictitious virus. Know that I'll always trust you. You are the real deal.
Synthetic, gain of function is not "fictitious". But ignore me. I've been on television; talking about my science fair project on hydrogen regarding the oil embargo, and perp-walked for the criminal US Army after release OR. (It probably created the virus you consider fictitious.)
It is fictitious. It has never been isolated or purified in accordance with Koch's postulates, the gold standard for doing such, in any lab or medical facility on earth. There is a standing 1.2 million dollar reward for anyone who can definitively proof the existence of, "Stupid-19" but there have been no takers nor shall there be. It only exists as a code construct on a computer program and in the febrile imaginations of the fools who believe in it.
So, if I were to somehow obtain enough of it (perhaps from the covid deer or their scat), and purify it with size exclusion chromatography or something, could I get $1.2 million for it? Somewhat tricky since these are RNA viruses, and thus quite unstable. They're not polyhedral, so wouldn't likely crystallize. Modern biochemistry doesn't do it that way any longer. They randomly break it into segments, multiply them with PCR, isolate them (remove interfering structures), cap an end before randomly degrading them, sequence them (Mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization? Or do they still use electrophoresis?), and recombine them in silico.
Koch's postulates as applied are crap. Ever heard of "terrain theory"? Not everyone exposed to a pathogen, "isolated" or not, contracts the illness. Those with recovered (screw "natural"; it inherited or something?), etc. immunity usually won't contract the corresponding illness.
Yes, I know "Terrain Theory". The best doctors and scientists heartily endorse it. It definitively demonstrates that what the con artists posing as medical and biological professionals are calling viruses are in fact the detritus of dead and dying cells from toxemia. No so-called "virus" has ever been proven to exist, anywhere. So how can you obtain enough of something non-existent? The 4 procedural steps in Koch's postulates are eminently logical. Check out the work of Stefan Lanka, a former top virologist in Germany. He quit the field, proving it is based on pseudo-science and fraud, and it is. Not beyond a reasonable doubt, beyond any doubt.
... and in the lies of the scumbag criminals who promote it for nefarious purposes.
"The focus should be on what was reported, not who reported it." I'll take any win they're willing to give us even if it's their attempt to trap us down the road. Then we can just blow up the road. Those playing both sides will be weeded out eventually, but I don't like them in the fox hole with me.
Yep, at this point any win is welcome, no matter how small. Funny, we never had a chance to get tired of all that Trump winning. Thanks.
Absolutely one of your best articles yet. I've never agreed more. Outstanding!!! Maybe the policemen died of covid? Tucker and Fox are great. It's a serious serious shame how blind and dumb the sheeple are.
As always, Norman, thanks for your support!
🗣️"As George Orwell wrote in 1984, “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” This is what our leaders are doing. And it’s never been more obvious than in the case of the January 6 footage." 🎯
Wonderful piece. I always appreciate your perspective and bravery for sharing it.
Sharyl Attkisson's journalism, unwavering determination to shine the light on the darkness, truth seeking & sharing- like yours, is a rarirty. 💎 Thank you.
I appreciate the kind words, SunnyRai. Thanks!
It's ludicrous to claim there was 44,000 hours of videos for a 4 hour event.
Yeah, that is puzzling. Were there that many people there filming, and they are counting all of their combined footage? Thanks.
A lot of the footage is probably from security cameras, of which I am sure there were many in and around the Capitol. And there were undoubtedly numerous smart phones of both protestors and police/staff/politicians capturing the events also. (And body cameras for the police?) Given how quick most people are nowadays to whip out a smart phone to record something happening, I don’t doubt that there are many, many hours of video of the event.
Wow almost as if it was an anticipated event!! Lol
Donald, this is a terrific piece, very insightful and classic journalism at its finest.
That's refreshing, something one cannot find in the NYT or WAPO, etc., et. al., and inter alia too, unfortunately.
Thanks, Phil. That means a lot coming from you. For those of you who don't know, Phil Nelson is the author of several intriguing books, especially his work on LBJ and the JFK assassination. Very honored to have you commenting here.
Good post Donald. US citizens with their eyes open, know that we have as many or more enemies living in the US as anywhere else in the world. Per the ole saying. The enemy lives within the camp. And from henceforth in this mind. Whatever evil or causality that happens to one or more US citizens in the US or abroad, and is blamed on another country or citizens thereof. The first people I will be looking at are the US citizen traitors and domestic terrorists, including the unhinged rent-a-mobs.
You know I agree with you, Mary. The great classical liberal writer H.L. Mencken once said, "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins." The latest foreign hobgoblin is Putin. Thanks.
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing them with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
To me, it's important to always include those last four words when quoting Mencken's observation on the aim of politicians and their handlers. A few authors I've read have edited that quote inserting the words "most of them imaginary", which changes the meaning.
I know that you don't do that, I'm just sayin'... I'm glad to see that you make the distinction that Mencken was a classical liberal. I've seen things written by some authors saying that Mencken was a populist, which is far off the mark. With his influence I moved away from being a populist as I got old. I'm much more cynical now.
The man makes magic with a scalpel made from words and paragraphs! Excellent work sir!
You are too kind my friend. And your own turn of phrase here is pretty magical itself. Thanks!
I couldn't identify the cop shown to be Sicknick. He was too far away and covered by a helmet. I'm afraid that footage doesn't make the case.
I assume Tucker's team, and he seems to have a pretty good one, vetted this thoroughly and used something concrete to make the identification. I don't think any of the predictable naysayers in the msm have made the claim it's not Sicknick. Sicknick's family, which ironically early on objected to the lie that he was beaten, was upset that the subject was mentioned and now seems to believe the lie. But they didn't say it wasn't him. Thanks.
Found you via the link you posted on Naomi's letter.
Good stuff.
