Ron Paul: Final Nail in America’s Coffin?

When future historians go searching for the final nail in the US coffin, they may well settle on the date April 20, 2024.

On that day Congress passed legislation to fund two and a half wars, hand what’s left of our privacy over to the CIA and NSA, and give the US president the power to shut down whatever part of the Internet he disagrees with.

The nearly $100 billion grossly misnamed “National Security Supplemental” guarantees that Ukrainians will continue to die in that country’s unwinnable war with Russia, that Palestinian civilians will continue to be slaughtered in Gaza with US weapons, and that the neocons will continue to push us toward a war with China. It was a total victory for the war party. . .

Speaker Johnson could not have passed these monstrosities without the full support of House Democrats, as the majority of Republicans voted against more money for Ukraine. So in the worst example of “bipartisanship,” Johnson reached across the aisle, stiffed the Republican majority that elected him Speaker, and pushed through a massive gift to the warfare/(corporate) welfare state. . .

Along with sending $100 billion that we don’t have to fund more overseas war, Speaker Johnson threw in another version of the Tik Tok ban, which gives Joe Biden and future presidents the power to shut down websites at will by simply declaring them to be “foreign adversary controlled.

Not to be outdone, the US Senate on that same day passed the extension of Section 702 of the FISA Act, which not only allowed the government to continue spying on us without a warrant, but also contained new language massively expanding how they can spy on us.

An Overlooked Trump Cabinet Pick Could Upend the Left’s Grip on Power

President Joe Biden summed up his education vision last year with a few words.

“There is no such thing as someone else’s child. No such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children,” Biden said while honoring the 2023 teacher of the year.

Biden’s remarks triggered a firestorm among Republicans, education activists and parents alike.

Now those Biden critics are strategizing for a potential second Trump administration. Priorities have been outlined, shortlists have been drawn. Some are preparing to join the administration.

But it’ll be up to Trump to make his pick for the unheralded but critical cabinet spot of education secretary. (Read more from “An Overlooked Trump Cabinet Pick Could Upend the Left’s Grip on Power” HERE)

Scott Adams Explains in Layman Terms How the CIA ‘Captures’ Our Lawmakers Right Under Our Noses…

What the heck happened to Speaker Mike Johnson? When he first emerged as the speaker after McCarthy was ousted, he was hailed as a “MAGA” hero. Many thought we finally had someone at the helm who truly had our best interests at heart. Boy, were we wrong.

In a shockingly short period of time, Speaker Johnson went from a MAGA hopeful to a Deep State stooge. This drastic change has many people asking: Was he always a snake in the grass, or did they manage to blackmail him into becoming their dutiful little puppet? Well, it’s likely a very complex issue with many layers, but one thing seems clear: Speaker Johnson likely fell victim to a very coordinated CIA plot. This strategy is often used against our government officials to ensure they toe the line with the uni-party regime. The more we uncover and discuss, the more we realize just how deep these tactics go into manipulating our leaders. The good news is that this topic is gaining traction, with influential voices like conservative cartoonist legend Scott Adams chiming in. We appreciate how Scott Adams has brilliantly managed to break down what the CIA is doing into simple layman’s terms. It’s refreshing and enlightening to have such complex issues made accessible and understandable for everyone quickly. Scott took to X and, in just about five sentences, he summed up decades of CIA covert operations against our lawmakers and the American people.

Scott Adams:

If I correctly understand our system of government, when a president or leader in the Congress gets into office, someone in the CIA pulls them aside for “the talk” and completely changes their priorities.

The public is then told the leaders now have secret knowledge the public can never know.

But the leader has no way of knowing the “secret” information is true and in context.

That puts the secret-keepers in firm control of the government’s big decisions. If the secret-keepers agree with a government policy, they stay out of it. If they disagree with a policy, they say the UFOs will attack — or some other unverifiable thing — and by the way, we have recordings of every phone call you ever made, and scare the leaders into compliance.

Right in front of us. None of this is secret.

Who Is the Self-Described ‘Investigative Researcher’ Max Azzarello Who Set Self on Fire Outside Trump Trial After Spewing Conspiracy Theories

By New York Post. The Florida man who lit himself on fire outside the Manhattan courthouse where former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial was unfolding Friday is a self-described “investigative researcher” who appeared to become more erratic over the last year and spewed conspiracy theories about the “elites” in a lengthy manifesto.

Max Azzarello, 37, of St. Augustine, Fla., tossed a stack of pamphlets into the air, which included links to a Substack newsletter apparently authored by the self-immolator called “The Ponzi Papers” moments before he doused himself in gasoline and set himself ablaze in Collect Pond Park.

At the top of the site is an article with the headline “I have set myself on fire outside of the Trump Trial,” followed by a rambling manifesto riddled with conspiracy theories on everything from cryptocurrency and Hollywood actors to COVID and former President Bill Clinton.

“My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan,” the nearly 2,700-word posting begins.

“This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery: We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.” (Read more from “Who Is the Self-Described ‘Investigative Researcher’ Max Azzarello Who Set Self on Fire Outside Trump Trial After Spewing Conspiracy Theories” HERE)

Man Who Set Himself On Fire Outside Trump’s Trial Reveals Shocking Motive In His Political Manifesto

By Yahoo News. A man set himself on fire outside the Manhattan courthouse where former President Donald Trump’s trial took place today, citing political motives in a manifesto. . .

Identified as Max Azzarello, he allegedly maintains a Substack page titled “The Ponzi Papers,” with his latest entry titled: “I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial.”

In the opening lines, Azzarello declares his extreme act as a means to spotlight a pressing revelation, writing: “My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan. This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery.”

He continued, boldly asserting: “We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.”

The manifesto includes references to a complex conspiracy involving cryptocurrencies and governmental collusion, echoing themes from Azzarello’s recent social media activity.

‘Kraken’ Lawyer Sidney Powell Wins Unanimous Dismissal of Ethics Case Over ‘Scattershot’ and Incompetent Disciplinary Effort by State Bar of Texas Over 2020 Election Lawsuits

The so-called “Kraken” of the legal system has won a personal and professional victory in the Lone Star State.

On Thursday, a Dallas-based court of appeals upheld a trial court decision that decided against any form of discipline for attorney Sidney Powell over her November 2020 lawsuits that sought “to prevent the certification of election results in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.”

In early 2023, the case was tossed on a defense motion to dismiss because of mislabeled evidence and several other deficiencies.

A three-judge panel of Democratic Party judges said the problems with the case against Powell were even worse than that.

“By its own admission, the Bar misidentified or failed to include multiple exhibits it claims to have relied on in its Second Amended Response,” the opinion by the Fifth District Court of Appeals reads. “But the deficiencies go far beyond mislabeling exhibits.” (Read more from “‘Kraken’ Lawyer Sidney Powell Wins Unanimous Dismissal of Ethics Case Over ‘Scattershot’ and Incompetent Disciplinary Effort by State Bar of Texas Over 2020 Election Lawsuits” HERE)

Watch and Learn: This Potential Pro-Trump Juror Shows Exactly Why Conservatives Always Lose… (VIDEO)

People on the right often ask, “Why do we keep losing?” That’s a loaded question with many layers to it, so much so that we could spend all day unpacking the reasons. But to simplify things, we’ve found a video clip that perfectly captures why conservatives lose. It zeroes in on the current Trump show trial in New York City. Here, the former president is battling to get a fair trial in the liberal-run chaos of Manhattan. It’s a clear, concise example that shows just how steep the hill we have to climb really is and how we constantly shoot ourselves in the foot, thanks to misguided conservative virtue.

In this clip, you’ll see a woman who, at first glance, seems like she’d be the perfect juror for Trump. She appeared favorable to him but declined to serve because she didn’t think she could be impartial. Many conservatives might see this and think, “That’s just us doing the right, constitutional thing.” But that’s where we’re missing the mark. In this ongoing battle with the left, simply playing by the rules isn’t going to cut it. We keep getting knocked down because the left isn’t playing the same game. They aren’t concerned with rules or the Constitution; they’re focused on crushing their enemies and winning at all costs, and it’s working.

Does this mean we need to throw out all the rules and become lawless like them? Not exactly, but we need to recognize that we’re in a war. Playing on an “invisible high road” just to feel virtuous in front of the camera isn’t helping us win. While we preach about morality, left-wing activist judges and jurors are steamrolling over us and the principles our country stands for.

This woman is what you’d call a principled young lady, and she’s a perfect example of why we lose. This is the principled defeat we always hear about. She’s probably very nice and conscientious, but in this case, she’s totally and completely wrong. Watch the above clip, study it, and understand why—even well-meaning and ethical behavior can lead us to defeat if we’re not careful about the bigger picture and who exactly we’re battling.

Comedian Says Dave Chapelle Was “Visited” to Have His Views ‘Corrected’

Comedian Jim Breuer claims that Dave Chapelle told him he was once “visited” by an unnamed elite group of people and told to ‘correct’ his views.

Breuer made the remarks during an appearance on the Rosanne Barr podcast.

The apparent visit took place in 2005 after Chapelle’s TV show became highly popular and before the comedian ‘disappeared’ to Africa.

Breuer claims Chapelle spoke to him during the Aspen Comedy Festival and was “freaked out.”

“And all I can say is he was visited,” said Breuer. “And when he told me who visited him, my heart stops for a second, I’m like get the f**k (out of here).” (Read more from “Comedian Says Dave Chapelle Was “Visited” to Have His Views ‘Corrected’” HERE)

Whistleblower: Gender Patients Begged to ‘Have Body Parts Put back On’

By WND. . .[S]ome of the of the worst atrocities just now are coming to light, including the testimony from a whistleblower that patients of a children’s gender clinic were “begging to have body parts put back on.”

It is Fox News that reported on the comments from a children’s gender clinic whistleblower who appeared on a daytime television talk show.

The whistleblower, Jamie Reed, who used to work at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, wrote an expose last year calling such treatments “morally and medically appalling.” . . .

“A number of things. We started to see patients who were experiencing very significant medical harms being rushed to the emergency room with lacerations requiring stitches. We had patients contact us who were begging to have body parts put back on within months of having surgeries.”

She continued, “The thing that kept happening is every time I would raise concerns and ask about the protocols and ask about the guidelines – this is just how the industry works, if a child says they’re trans there’s no questioning it. We just say, ‘Yep, you’re trans, what would you like?'” (Read more from “Whistleblower: Gender Patients Begged to ‘Have Body Parts Put back On’” HERE)

Kids’ gender clinic whistleblower tells Dr. Phil regretful patients begged to ‘have body parts put back on’

By Fox News. A children’s gender clinic whistleblower on Thursday claimed to Dr. Phil that she saw regretful patients ask to have their removed body parts restored after operations. . .

Reed said that kids identifying as transgender has become 10 times more common and they are overwhelmingly young teenage women who wish to become men.

Girls, she argued, tend to be very attuned to the trends in their environment, particularly on social media and in their peer groups, to the point where girls in the same class would come in clusters all requesting procedures at the same time.

“They would come in, and they would almost have the exact same storyline, too, like they learned what to say from a video to explain, ‘Oh, no, really, I’ve felt this way from early childhood,’ but a lot of their parents couldn’t remember anything like that,” said Reed. . .

“I saw a young person who was begging to have their breasts put back on after having surgery. We were encouraged not to make a big deal out of it and definitely not to tell other families. I couldn’t continue to be silent on it,” she added about detransitioners.

‘Furry’ Claims Spark Walkout at Middle School; School Pushes Back (VIDEO)

A group of children and adults staged an hours-long walkout at a Utah middle school on Wednesday over an unusual issue — “furries.”

The protesters walked out of Mt. Nebo Middle School, which is about an hour south of Salt Lake City, claiming that students who dress as “furries” were being disruptive.

Furries are people who have an interest in animals with human qualities, according to WebMD.

In video of the protests shared to social media, students accuse the alleged “furries” at Mt. Nebo of biting, scratching, barking at, spraying air freshener on, and pouncing on other students. (Read more from “‘Furry’ Claims Spark Walkout at Middle School; School Pushes Back (VIDEO)” HERE)

Israel Strikes Iranian Sites Near Suspected Nuclear Facilities, Reports Say

Reports have surfaced indicating that Israel launched airstrikes targeting multiple Iranian sites, including areas near suspected locations of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Israel’s Army Radio disclosed early Friday morning local time that ABC News had identified Israeli strikes near the town of Isfahan, Iran, as well as in regions within Syria and Iraq. The Times of Israel further detailed:

According to Iran’s Fars news agency, explosions were heard near the airport in Isfahan, central Iran. However, the cause of these explosions remains unknown, with investigations ongoing to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident.

Isfahan province hosts several Iranian nuclear sites, including Natanz, which serves as a focal point for Iran’s uranium enrichment efforts.

Speculation circulated on social media suggesting that the targets in Syria and Iraq might be associated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the external terrorist arm of the Iranian military.

The Israeli strikes are believed to be in response to a significant missile and drone assault launched by Iran against Israel over the preceding weekend. Despite interception by Israeli and allied air defenses, this marked the first direct attack by Iran against Israel from Iranian territory.

Israel had previously issued warnings that any attack originating from Iran would prompt retaliatory strikes within Iranian borders.

For years, Israel has contemplated the possibility of targeting Iran’s nuclear program, regardless of support from the United States.

Assessments indicate that the Iranian regime lacks substantial air defense capabilities. Dr. Shay Har-Zvi of the Institute for Policy and Strategy (IPS) at Reichman University, speaking to Breitbart News, noted that Iran’s air defenses, supplied primarily by Russia, have yet to incorporate the latest generation systems like the S-400. He suggested that Israeli actions might be motivated by concerns over potential Russian-Iranian collaboration, which could lead to the deployment of advanced air defense systems by Iran. However, he also emphasized Russia’s reluctance to directly engage in a confrontation between Iran and Israel.
