Republicans Pushing Themselves Off the Cliff
Commentary by: Brian C. Joondeph
During the 2012 presidential election, the far-left Agenda Project Action Fund produced a video showing vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan pushing granny off the cliff because he had the supposed audacity to propose a sensible budget, rather than the money-tree approach of Democrats.
Instead of becoming vice president, Ryan landed only one step behind the VP in the presidential succession as Speaker of the House. While he didn’t push granny off the cliff, he did push himself and his party off a cliff by undermining the president of his own party as often as he could.
Ryan ended up on the board of Fox News, reportedly wanting to use his position to “do something” about President Trump. It seems other fellow congressional Republicans, including Ryan’s 2012 running mate Mitt Romney, had similar aspirations.
Trump is still president, although his path to a second term is becoming narrower by the day. Establishment Republicans, particularly those of the NeverTrump variety, are eager to “move on” from the 2020 presidential contest, happily accepting the results of a crooked and stolen election, with vague promises of electoral reform and a more favorable outcome in 2024.
Only two-thirds of House Republicans joined in the Texas lawsuit, meaning the other third was happy to send Trump packing, pushing him, and their party off the cliff. If the political parties were reversed, does anyone doubt that 100 percent of Democrat House members would have backed the lawsuit?
Yet they are oblivious to the fact that this is their last stand, the last chance for the Republican Party to have any relevance or power on a national stage. Are they that clueless? I think not. Getting elected to Congress may not require raw intelligence but does reflect enough political savvy to understand the precarious spot the Republicans are in, about to be pushed off a cliff.
We are looking at numerous credible allegations of election fraud, from late-night ballot dumps to mandated observers being excluded from watching ballot counts. It was Pee Wee Herman in a boxing ring with Mike Tyson, with Pee Wee about to have his head knocked off. The arena lights suddenly went out and when they went on a minute later, Tyson is out cold with Pee Wee dancing in delight as the new champion. How plausible would that be? Yet that’s what happened on election night.
The Supreme Court took a pass over “standing” in the Texas challenge. Funny, I thought our government was based on “We the People.”. If electoral fraud in four states determines the president for all 50 states, it seems those in the other 46 states have “standing” to cry foul, that their votes were nullified. Will other cases before the high court fare any better? Will SCOTUS rule differently if a few words change in the case filing?
Where are the Republicans through this travesty? A few like Rep Jim Jordan or Senator Ted Cruz are making noise, but the rest are looking at their feet, hoping to not be called on to comment on the election, willfully ignoring the imminent demise of their political party.
If a national election can be stolen, so can a couple of Georgia Senate seats. Stacey Abrams, who has still not conceded her loss in the Georgia gubernatorial election, joins fellow Democrats calling on Trump to concede. How many ballots will she “find” on election night? Surely enough to swing the election to the two Democrat candidates.
An evenly split Senate means that a VP Harris, at least until Joe Biden is pushed off the cliff, and a new VP replaces Harris as she ascends to the Oval Office, breaks any senate vote ties in favor of Democrats. That’s when Republicans join Dementia Joe at the bottom of the cliff.
If Democrats can steal one presidential election, they can certainly steal another one, and enough Congressional elections for a permanent Democrat majority in the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal government. Elections will no longer matter as the winner will be preordained by the ruling class.
Democrats can add states to the union, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and a split California, giving them a solid Senate majority. Eliminating the filibuster, as promised, will make Republican objections to any bill or nomination irrelevant.
A stacked Supreme Court, as also promised, will allow the left to rewrite the Constitution to suit Bernie, AOC, and George Soros, rather than Hamilton, Jefferson, and Madison.
Medicare-for-all and the Green New Deal will soon be the law of the land, as will open borders and tens of millions of new Democrat constituents. Expect a carbon tax as we sign on to the Paris Climate Accord. Iran will be back to building nukes and China will control of most of corporate America.
Barr can appoint all the special counsels he chooses. What’s to stop Biden from firing them all? If Trump did that it would have been obstruction of justice. If Biden does the same it will simply be to stop wasting time and money on a partisan witch hunt, the media backing Biden.
Mitt Romney and Susan Collins will have their Senate seats and Sunday morning talk show gigs where they can tut tut over Democrat policies, knowing they are powerless to stop anything. There is no view from the bottom of the cliff as ineffectual Republicans will soon learn. But the ruling class, of both parties, will retain power, profit, and control, as long as they support the deep state and foreign interests.
The next month is crucial, as options are running out for President Trump to correct an egregious wrong, one that will forever change America for the worse, from a beacon of freedom and liberty to a banana republic on the way to civil war or outright failure.
Trump knows the stakes, for him, his family, and his supporters, knowing that a Biden administration would go scorched earth on all of them, as a warning to any other outsiders daring to challenge the ruling class.
This election is about far more than Trump versus Biden. It’s about the future of America. Trump is the only thing standing between the land of the free and a takeover by globalists, including China and the United Nations, conquering America in the name of socialism and communism.
It’s now or never. Inaction is not an option, simply pushing the GOP closer to the cliff edge, ready to fall into the abyss when Joe Biden is sworn in come late January. With America not far behind.

thelibertybeacon--2020-12-14--Bill Gates says bars and restaurants should ‘sadly’ be closed for 4-6 months [Video]

( RT-USA News ) Conceding that by the summer of 2021 , the US should be “ way closer to normal than we are now , ” Gates , who has donated millions to vaccination efforts through his foundation , believes a full return to normal will likely not be possible until after 2022 .
The billionaire told CNN on Sunday that “ unless we help other countries get rid of this disease ” and see “ high vaccination rates ” within the US , the “ risk of reintroduction ” will be possible .
“ Big public gatherings ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bars and restaurants around the country should “ sadly ” be closed to curb infection rates , according to Gates .
A real return to normal , he theorized , is possible only after 12 to 18 months “ if we manage it well.
” Gates also expressed concern about President Donald Trump ’ s unwillingness to concede the presidential election , which he claims is “ complicating ” vaccine distribution .
“ The transition is complicating [ things , ] but the new administration is willing to rely on actual experts and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tech mogul said in a swipe at the president .
Gates did not specify what “ complications ” are possible .
A vaccine has already been approved by both the FDA and CDC and begun distribution .
People can expect to start receiving it as early as Monday , according to CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield .
Gates has become a go-to expert for the mainstream media when it comes to Covid-19 thanks to his donations to vaccination efforts , as well as a viral video from 2015 where he appears to predict @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be unprepared for .
Gates ’ promotion of vaccines and lockdowns , however , has earned him plenty of critics , especially from conservatives as such restrictions have become more and more controversial .
“ Reject this tyrant , ” reporter Ian Miles Cheong tweeted in response to Gates ’ latest interview .

The billionaire told CNN on Sunday that “unless we help other countries get rid of this disease” and see “high vaccination rates” within the US, the “risk of reintroduction” will be possible.
“Big public gatherings” should continue to be banned and most bars and restaurants around the country should “sadly” be closed to curb infection rates, according to Gates. A real return to normal, he theorized, is possible only after 12 to 18 months “if we manage it well.”

Instead of allowing corporate debt to be shed via bankruptcies and debt restructurings, at the expense of those investors, traders, and speculators, the Fed is creating an environment of free money that exhorts companies to borrow even more. And then the even greater debt hangover bogs down the economy during the Good Time while everyone is waiting for the next blowup so that the Fed would rescue them again, turning the whole thing into a Fed-managed paper exchange.
Jobless consumers, no matter what the Fed does, according to Richter “might just refuse to prop up on their own the Weirdest Economy Ever.”

Michigan legislature presses ahead with investigation into election irregularities
“There’s still a high level of interest across the state,” GOP rep says
By Daniel Payne
Despite a string of legal setbacks suffered by various challengers to the 2020 election results, the Michigan legislature is pressing ahead with its investigations into allegations of voting irregularities in the battleground state.
Michigan has certified Joe Biden the winner; the state’s official results indicate the Democrat won its electoral votes by a little over 154,000 ballots.
Yet the state has been inundated with rumors and controversies in the wake of the election, including counties in which alleged procedural errors led to Biden receiving thousands of Trump votes as well as sworn testimony alleging sustained ballot fraud at Detroit’s TCF Center.
Now, one Republican state representative is vowing that the legislature will continue to investigate such claims even as multiple election-related lawsuits, including those filed by the Trump campaign, have continuously been struck down by the courts.
Rep. Daire Rendon, who represents Michigan’s District 103 in the state house, told Just the News that “there are a lot of voters who are very, very upset with the way our election process went.” (Picture credit: BALLOTPEDIA)
In the days and weeks since the election, Rendon said, voters have “found out about irregularities. They heard testimony. Processes weren’t followed.”
“Just yesterday I got 1300 emails,” she said, “and they were all complaints about: ‘What are you doing about the elections?'”
Even more than a month after the election, she said, “there’s still a high level of interest across the state to explore these irregularities.”
Rendon pointed to the hearings the state legislature has been holding on the 2020 election. This week House Oversight Committee Chair Matt Hall informed Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos that the legislature would consider issuing a subpoena for his appearance if he refused to appear in the state house as part of hearings into the election.
Rendon was among the Michigan GOP representatives who signed on to the Texas lawsuit challenging the election results in four key battleground states. That lawsuit was turned down by the Supreme Court on Friday. Still, Rendon said, the investigations will continue. She pointed out that her constituents “followed the state rules to vote” and are demanding proof that the rest of the state did so, as well.
“My people are calling foul,” she said.

thelibertybeacon--2020-12-15--The Great Reset: The End of Capitalism As We Know It

The Great Reset : The end of Capitalism as we know it To suggest that there has been an overreaction to the coronavirus pandemic may be the understatement of the century .
The spark that began as a rational fear of disease has been fanned into flames of widespread panic which have raged through state and civil institutions .
The spectacle of the US election aside ( or perhaps a case in point ) , it is fair to say that democracy no longer exists .
The rule of law has been suspended .
A ‘ state of emergency ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will likely remain indefinitely .
All of this has been normalised under cover of a declared medical emergency , and like some modern Milgram experiment , the masses have fallen into line .
Anyone who dares to even question the new normal – the constant hand sanitizing ; the ubiquitous temperature taking ; the social distancing ; the contact tracing – is now perceived as a threat to society .
If there ’ s an elephant in the room it ’ s probably the fact that there seems to be no pandemic to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case reporting there is no significant spike in the overall number of deaths compared to a normal flu season .
Covid 19 manifests as a mild flu in the majority of people who get sick from it , while presenting no symptoms at all in most people , it scarcely impacts children , and according to a growing number of physicians it can be successfully treated with inexpensive and readily available medications such as vitamins D , C and zinc .
So what on earth is going on ?
Why are plexiglass screens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and checkout ?
Why the mask mandates and tracing apps ?
Why have schools and businesses been forced to close ?
Why has the global economy been brought to a standstill ?
Why are people being locked in their homes ?
Why are the elderly being left to die alone ?
This whole thing needs to be unpacked , but where to even begin ?
What is a reasonable point of entry into this horror story ?
What are the foundational facts needed to present a fair and balanced assessment ?
What assumptions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to start with ?
Perhaps we could just dive right into the Great Reset , a proposal put forward by the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) to rebuild the global economy ‘ sustainably ’ following the COVID-19 pandemic , which you can read all about here .
But how do we begin to talk about resetting the global economy without at least a perfunctory introduction to the work of Karl Marx , surely one of if not the most important political economist of the modern era ?
You should have learned about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this story without at least a minimal understanding of the cult of technocracy , the ideology forged in the embers of the Great Depression which sought to remake the world in a more resilient fashion , leaving out the corruptible human element from decision making processes ?
This may seem of esoteric interest only , but when novels like 1984 and Brave New World begin to read more like instruction manuals than fiction , one has to wonder .
Can we even hope to grasp the full extent of our current situation without @ @ @ @ @ @ @ WWII economy and how the petrodollar system came to effectively replace the gold standard ?
Probably something more of interest to budding political economists , but again , important fundamentals .
Is it essential to know who John D Rockefeller was ; to know about his history of philanthropy and ties to the pharmaceutical industry , or that the very ground on which the United Nations stands was donated by him and his family ?
( Half a century later the building of the World Trade Centre would be financed by his grandsons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ digress… ) Or how David Rockefeller , aided and abetted by his protégé Maurice Strong , brought the climate agenda front and centre in the 1970s in order to wrest control of the world ’ s natural resources from sovereign governments and indigenous peoples into the hands of corporate-owned non-government organisations ?
Or should all of this be filed away under ‘ conspiracy theory ’ ?
Would it be useful to understand the perverse creed of transhumanism , where its agenda intersects with all of the above , and what radical cultural shift @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commonly prescribed to mentally disordered children ?
Or why the words biological reality can no longer be spoken in polite company ?
All of these are potential chapters of a book which I simply don ’ t have the time or energy to write .
So for our present purposes can we just agree that when you live under a system that rewards wealth and power and prioritises private profit over human need , and distribute that out across 7 billion people , you end up with the worst aberrations the human species @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
We are ruled over by psychopaths .
If that is too much for you to take in , I suggest you leave off here and go back to your favourite television news channel and await further programming .
Hint : it doesn ’ t matter which channel .
When six mega corporations own all of the news outlets , IT ’ S ALL FAKE NEWS .
Nothing is as it seems .
The world as we knew it was never as it seemed anyway .
But now there has been a fundamental @ @ @ @ @ @ @ context , to speak of the modern era is to speak of a distinct historical period with its own distinctive economic and social characteristics .
Chief among these is a system of property relations controlled by markets , which exist within agreed institutional frameworks backed by political authority .
“ Private property is the golden calf of capitalism and unregulated capitalism is the bible of the ruling class.
” writes Bernd Hamm .
A succinct observation , but I feel the metaphor needs to be extended somewhat , for it seems to me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is now being sacrificed .
Marx ’ s theoretical framework is fundamental to understanding our current situation .
Marx was absolutely correct when he said that the crises of capitalist production are due to under-consumption , ie , production outstripping demand .
In a nutshell , continuing to produce more and more while paying workers less and less results in workers not being able to afford to buy the goods they produce .
Marx describes this as an internal contradiction ; A contradiction embedded in the very DNA of the capitalist system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the ruling class haven ’ t studied history as well , and don ’ t know what fate awaits them if capitalism is allowed to follow its ordained path .
Which is why I suggest they have chosen to bring the revolution to the toiling masses , before we bring it to them .
The current global recession may have been inevitable , but the ( mis ) management of the pandemic has been a wrecking ball .
The dire situation in which we now find ourselves presents a “ narrow window @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Schwab , founder and CEO of the WEF , in which to “ reflect , reimagine , and reset our world ” .
It all sounds quite noble and grand , until you realise this cosplaying sociopath is actually calling for the complete annihilation of national economies – economies which have still not recovered from the 2008 global capitalist crisis .
The BoE is calling this the biggest recession since 1706 .
That ’ s not just a 300 year credit bubble , but the entire capitalist enterprise .
The entire modern era @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all gone in one fell swoop .
And it ’ s never coming back – they have made certain of it .
What we are seeing today is a shift away from production based economies , which you can read all about in the WEF ’ s own literature .
What is proposed by the resetters under the rubric of ‘ building back better ’ is not capitalism ; it is a different system of social and economic organisation altogether .
A ‘ sharing economy ’ in the new parlance – a system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thanks to the modern marvels of the blockchain and the Internet of Things/Internet of Bodies .
The defining features of capitalism – competitive markets , a price system , private property and the recognition of property rights , voluntary exchange and wage labor – are conspicuously absent from this new economy , along with any hope of upward mobility .
In real language this is TECHNOCRACY .
Marx was right when he predicted that capitalism would end because of its own internal contradictions .
He was naive to think it would necessarily end @ @ @ @ @ @ @ working class .
The ruling class have other options , and the system they intend to foist on us next will be more efficient , more resilient , and more brutal than anything John D Rockefeller could have conceived of in his wildest fantasies .
I was asked by a comrade recently why I labour the point that we are no longer living under capitalism .
To this I can only answer , how are we supposed to mount an effective counter attack when we aren ’ t aware that the terrain has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pissing into the wind at the same time takes no special talent .
We need to address our changing material conditions and update our theoretical framework , or we risk becoming irrelevant .
What we are seeing is not just business as usual .
Not just the latest power grab ; the latest upward redistribution of wealth to the 1 % .
Nor is it ‘ just ’ fascism , ie capitalism in crisis mode .
What we are seeing , or rather failing to see , is so much more than this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we need to look past the theatrics and examine the mechanics .
The virus is theatre .
Just like climate change was theatre .
‘ Climate change ’ is a deliberately meaningless buzzword invented to serve elite interests .
Blaming all of our problems on an invisible gas which makes up 0.04 % of the atmosphere does nothing to address any of the serious environmental issues we face .
Rather the proposed link between atmospheric warming and ‘ greenhouse ’ gases acts as a diversion from issues which the elites have no intention @ @ @ @ @ @ @ desperately need to take action on .
Clearing millions of acres to make way for solar farms clearly misses the point .
Dumping billions of tonnes of plastic and chemical waste into the oceans each year poses a serious danger to marine ecosystems and ultimately the entire food chain , but this pales next to current plans by multinational conglomerates to begin strip-mining the ocean floor .
The destruction of aquifers through horizontal drilling puts our precious water supply under continual threat and is allowed to go ahead because natural gas is considered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Modern industrial farming practices , GMO foods and fertilizers have a devastating impact on biodiversity , but are integral to supply chain management under ‘ green capitalism ’ .
I could go on and on .
But while the climate change industry has been a boon for certain elite interests , it failed the ultimate test – the total transformation of society .
Despite all the expert scientists prophesying certain extinction within decades , the looming threat of a climate apocalypse was still not enough to justify the changes we ’ ve seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more tangible .
They needed to be able to show the dead bodies piling up .
At least on TV .
Enter covid-19 – Something we could all be REALLY scared of .
And just like that , governments acted in perfect synchronicity , on the advice of ‘ expert panels ’ and ‘ top scientists ’ , to put the brakes on national economies ; economies with no more levers left to pull .
25 % of small businesses have now closed , most never to reopen , while retail and tech @ @ @ @ @ @ @ posting record profits .
In the last eight months Jeff Bezos has added $ 70 billion to his personal wealth , while Elon Musk has pocketed a cool $ 110 billion .
Small change compared to what Bill Gates stands to make from a vaccine which will likely be required by everyone , every year , for life .
This a corporate coup d ’ etat .
We are never going back to ‘ normal ’ .
“ Build back better ” , they keep repeating .
As if they have any intention @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which they just took the axe to .
Privacy , freedom of speech , freedom of peaceful assembly etc .
Nope .
If you comply with the new rules they might issue you a “ freedom passport ” .
So long as your shots are up to date and your social credit is good you might even get to keep your pension or your disability payment .
But probably not your house .
A few are talking about it .
There are vague murmurings from the conservative and libertarian camps warning us about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ install world socialism .
Because , well because anything they don ’ t like is socialism , right ?
Because they have never studied history or political science , in fact most of them sound like they have never read a book .
They just repeat what they hear from their favourite right wing pundits .
Remember those six corporations ?
No , the Great Reset is not about socialism .
Would that that were the case .
The oligarchs want to create a permanent rentier class .
They and their kind will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own nothing .
This is fundamentally different from socialism which seeks the elimination of private property and restoration of the commons .
In the new economy , everything will be rented .
No one needs to sleep all the time .
Why own a bed when you can rent or share one ?
Why own a car or a bicycle when you can pool a ride in a self driving taxi cab ?
You get the idea .
Some are calling it stakeholder capitalism , but this too is inaccurate .
A more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ currency has outlived its usefulness .
Capital markets are being replaced by impact markets which will trade in human misery while biometric sensors track our every move .
Did you ever wonder why they call it the world wide web ?
If it ’ s not obvious by now why they are in such a rush to roll out 5G , just read/watch any dystopian sci-fi made in the last fifty years .
This is the world they are creating for us right now .
The old one is gone , and is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another we are going forward .
But where to ?

The Great Reset: The end of Capitalism as we know it
“Building back better” means technocracy & the end of liberalism and democracy in one fell swoop
By: Sean Stinson
To suggest that there has been an overreaction to the coronavirus pandemic may be the understatement of the century. The spark that began as a rational fear of disease has been fanned into flames of widespread panic which have raged through state and civil institutions. The spectacle of the US election aside (or perhaps a case in point), it is fair to say that democracy no longer exists. The rule of law has been suspended.
A ‘state of emergency’ persists throughout much of the world and will likely remain indefinitely. All of this has been normalised under cover of a declared medical emergency, and like some modern Milgram experiment, the masses have fallen into line. Anyone who dares to even question the new normal – the constant hand sanitizing; the ubiquitous temperature taking; the social distancing; the contact tracing – is now perceived as a threat to society.
If there’s an elephant in the room it’s probably the fact that there seems to be no pandemic to speak of. Regardless of the overblown case reporting there is no significant spike in the overall number of deaths compared to a normal flu season.
Covid 19 manifests as a mild flu in the majority of people who get sick from it, while presenting no symptoms at all in most people, it scarcely impacts children, and according to a growing number of physicians it can be successfully treated with inexpensive and readily available medications such as vitamins D, C and zinc.
So what on earth is going on? Why are plexiglass screens popping up in front of every teller and checkout? Why the mask mandates and tracing apps? Why have schools and businesses been forced to close? Why has the global economy been brought to a standstill? Why are people being locked in their homes? Why are the elderly being left to die alone?
This whole thing needs to be unpacked, but where to even begin? What is a reasonable point of entry into this horror story? What are the foundational facts needed to present a fair and balanced assessment? What assumptions, if any, do we need to start with?
Perhaps we could just dive right into the Great Reset, a proposal put forward by the World Economic Forum (WEF) to rebuild the global economy ‘sustainably’ following the COVID-19 pandemic, which you can read all about here.
But how do we begin to talk about resetting the global economy without at least a perfunctory introduction to the work of Karl Marx, surely one of if not the most important political economist of the modern era? You should have learned about him in school.
Dare we frame this story without at least a minimal understanding of the cult of technocracy, the ideology forged in the embers of the Great Depression which sought to remake the world in a more resilient fashion, leaving out the corruptible human element from decision making processes? This may seem of esoteric interest only, but when novels like 1984 and Brave New World begin to read more like instruction manuals than fiction, one has to wonder.
Can we even hope to grasp the full extent of our current situation without understanding the fragile nature of the Post WWII economy and how the petrodollar system came to effectively replace the gold standard? Probably something more of interest to budding political economists, but again, important fundamentals.
Is it essential to know who John D Rockefeller was; to know about his history of philanthropy and ties to the pharmaceutical industry, or that the very ground on which the United Nations stands was donated by him and his family? (Half a century later the building of the World Trade Centre would be financed by his grandsons Nelson and David, but surely I digress…)
Or how David Rockefeller, aided and abetted by his protégé Maurice Strong, brought the climate agenda front and centre in the 1970s in order to wrest control of the world’s natural resources from sovereign governments and indigenous peoples into the hands of corporate-owned non-government organisations? Or should all of this be filed away under ‘conspiracy theory’?
Would it be useful to understand the perverse creed of transhumanism, where its agenda intersects with all of the above, and what radical cultural shift has led to puberty blockers now being commonly prescribed to mentally disordered children? Or why the words biological reality can no longer be spoken in polite company?
All of these are potential chapters of a book which I simply don’t have the time or energy to write. So for our present purposes can we just agree that when you live under a system that rewards wealth and power and prioritises private profit over human need, and distribute that out across 7 billion people, you end up with the worst aberrations the human species can produce at the apex of power? We are ruled over by psychopaths.
If that is too much for you to take in, I suggest you leave off here and go back to your favourite television news channel and await further programming. Hint: it doesn’t matter which channel. When six mega corporations own all of the news outlets, IT’S ALL FAKE NEWS.

“Private property is the golden calf of capitalism and unregulated capitalism is the bible of the ruling class.” writes Bernd Hamm. A succinct observation, but I feel the metaphor needs to be extended somewhat, for it seems to me that the golden calf, once worshipped, is now being sacrificed.

In a nutshell, continuing to produce more and more while paying workers less and less results in workers not being able to afford to buy the goods they produce.

Let’s not fool ourselves that the ruling class haven’t studied history as well, and don’t know what fate awaits them if capitalism is allowed to follow its ordained path. Which is why I suggest they have chosen to bring the revolution to the toiling masses, before we bring it to them.
The current global recession may have been inevitable, but the (mis)management of the pandemic has been a wrecking ball. The dire situation in which we now find ourselves presents a “narrow window of opportunity”, according to Klaus Schwab, founder and CEO of the WEF, in which to “reflect, reimagine, and reset our world”.
It all sounds quite noble and grand, until you realise this cosplaying sociopath is actually calling for the complete annihilation of national economies – economies which have still not recovered from the 2008 global capitalist crisis.

A ‘sharing economy’ in the new parlance – a system of energy inputs and outputs perfectly balanced thanks to the modern marvels of the blockchain and the Internet of Things/Internet of Bodies. The defining features of capitalism – competitive markets, a price system, private property and the recognition of property rights, voluntary exchange and wage labor – are conspicuously absent from this new economy, along with any hope of upward mobility. In real language this is TECHNOCRACY.
This is a paradigm shift.
Marx was right when he predicted that capitalism would end because of its own internal contradictions. He was naive to think it would necessarily end due to the revolutionary struggle of the working class. The ruling class have other options, and the system they intend to foist on us next will be more efficient, more resilient, and more brutal than anything John D Rockefeller could have conceived of in his wildest fantasies.
I was asked by a comrade recently why I labour the point that we are no longer living under capitalism. To this I can only answer, how are we supposed to mount an effective counter attack when we aren’t aware that the terrain has changed? Whistling in the dark and pissing into the wind at the same time takes no special talent. We need to address our changing material conditions and update our theoretical framework, or we risk becoming irrelevant.
What we are seeing is not just business as usual. Not just the latest power grab; the latest upward redistribution of wealth to the 1%. Nor is it ‘just’ fascism, ie capitalism in crisis mode. What we are seeing, or rather failing to see, is so much more than this. In order to fully understand, we need to look past the theatrics and examine the mechanics.
The virus is theatre. Just like climate change was theatre. ‘Climate change’ is a deliberately meaningless buzzword invented to serve elite interests. Blaming all of our problems on an invisible gas which makes up 0.04% of the atmosphere does nothing to address any of the serious environmental issues we face. Rather the proposed link between atmospheric warming and ‘greenhouse’ gases acts as a diversion from issues which the elites have no intention of addressing.
Deforestation is something we desperately need to take action on. Clearing millions of acres to make way for solar farms clearly misses the point. Dumping billions of tonnes of plastic and chemical waste into the oceans each year poses a serious danger to marine ecosystems and ultimately the entire food chain, but this pales next to current plans by multinational conglomerates to begin strip-mining the ocean floor.
The destruction of aquifers through horizontal drilling puts our precious water supply under continual threat and is allowed to go ahead because natural gas is considered a clean fuel? Blow me. Modern industrial farming practices, GMO foods and fertilizers have a devastating impact on biodiversity, but are integral to supply chain management under ‘green capitalism’. I could go on and on.
But while the climate change industry has been a boon for certain elite interests, it failed the ultimate test – the total transformation of society.

This a corporate coup d’etat. We are never going back to ‘normal’.

Privacy, freedom of speech, freedom of peaceful assembly etc. Nope. If you comply with the new rules they might issue you a “freedom passport”. So long as your shots are up to date and your social credit is good you might even get to keep your pension or your disability payment. But probably not your house.

No, the Great Reset is not about socialism. Would that that were the case. The oligarchs want to create a permanent rentier class. They and their kind will own ALL while the rest of us own nothing.

Some are calling it stakeholder capitalism, but this too is inaccurate. A more accurate term would be techno-feudalism. Fiat currency has outlived its usefulness. Capital markets are being replaced by impact markets which will trade in human misery while biometric sensors track our every move. Did you ever wonder why they call it the world wide web? If it’s not obvious by now why they are in such a rush to roll out 5G, just read/watch any dystopian sci-fi made in the last fifty years.

thelibertybeacon--2020-12-15--Yes, Bill Gates Said That & Here’s the Proof!

Yes , Bill Gates Said That .
Here ’ s the Proof .
Some chiseler altered Bill Gates ’ June 2020 TED Talk to edit out his revealing prediction that we will all soon need digital vaccine passports ( *slide 1* ) .
But after considerable effort , we tracked down the original video ( *slide 2* ) .
Gates ’ minions on cable and network news , his public broadcasting , social media and fact-checker toadies all now insist that Gates never said such things .
They say he never intended to track and trace us with subdermal chips @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talk as “ conspiracy theories.
” Well , here it is from the horse ’ s mouth .
In 2019 , according to a not-yet-purged Scientific American article , Gates commissioned the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to build an injectable quantum dot dye system to tattoo stored medical info beneath children ’ s skin .
The tattoo was designed to be readable by an iPhone app .
Gates ’ company , Microsoft , has patented a sinister technology that uses implanted chips with sensors that will monitor body and brain activity .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ currency payments when they perform assigned activities .
Gates also invested approximately $ 20 million in MicroCHIPS , a company that makes chip-based devices , including birth-control implant chips with wireless on/off switches for remote-controlled drug-delivery by medical authorities .
In July 2019 , months before the COVID pandemic , Gates bought 3.7M shares of Serco , a military contractor with U.S. and UK government contracts to track and trace pandemic infections and vaccine compliance .
To facilitate our transition to his surveillance society , Gates invested $ 1 billion in EarthNow , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5G video surveillance satellites .
EarthNow will launch 500 satellites allowing governments and large enterprises to live-stream monitor almost every “ corner ” of the Earth , providing instantaneous video feedback with one-second delay .
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also acquired 5.3 million shares of Crown Castle , which owns 5G spy antennas including more than 40,000 cell towers and 65,000 small cells .
Please make your own copy of these clips — as Gates ’ power to disappear inconvenient facts is expanding every digital day .
About Robert F. Kennedy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resolute defender of the environment stems from a litany of successful legal actions .
Mr. Kennedy was named one of Time magazine ’ s “ Heroes for the Planet ” for his success helping Riverkeeper lead the fight to restore the Hudson River .
The group ’ s achievement helped spawn 300 Waterkeeper organizations across the globe .
Mr. Kennedy serves as Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council , Chief Prosecuting Attorney for the Hudson Riverkeeper and President of Waterkeeper Alliance .
He is also a Clinical Professor and Supervising Attorney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Environmental Litigation Clinic and is of counsel to Morgan & Morgan , a nationwide personal injury practice .
He is co-host of Ring of Fire on Air America Radio .
Earlier in his career he served as Assistant District Attorney in New York City .
He has worked on environmental issues across the Americas and has assisted several indigenous tribes in Latin America and Canada in successfully negotiating treaties protecting traditional homelands .
He is credited with leading the fight to protect New York City ’ s water supply .
The New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ negotiated on behalf of environmentalists and New York City watershed consumers , is regarded as an international model in stakeholder consensus negotiations and sustainable development .
Mr. Kennedy is also a devout proponent for vaccine rights , the right to chose , informed consent , and the publication and public awareness of information needed by parents to make informed decisions for their much more vulnerable children .
A large portion of his related works can be found on the Children ’ s Health Defense website TLB Editors Note : TLB highly recommends you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) below , visit this great website , and do whatever you can to help see this vital forum succeed … for the sake of our children !

Yes, Bill Gates Said That. Here’s the Proof.
Gates and his minions insist the billionaire never said we’d need digital vaccine passports. But in a June 2020 TED Talk, Gates said exactly that. Someone edited out the statement, but CHD tracked down the original.
By: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Some chiseler altered Bill Gates’ June 2020 TED Talk to edit out his revealing prediction that we will all soon need digital vaccine passports (*slide 1*). But after considerable effort, we tracked down the original video (*slide 2*).
Gates’ minions on cable and network news, his public broadcasting, social media and fact-checker toadies all now insist that Gates never said such things. They say he never intended to track and trace us with subdermal chips or injected tattoos.
They dismiss such talk as “conspiracy theories.”
Well, here it is from the horse’s mouth.
In 2019, according to a (not yet purged) Scientific American article, Gates commissioned the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to build an injectable quantum dot dye system to tattoo stored medical info beneath children’s skin. The tattoo was designed to be readable by an iPhone app.
Gates’ company, Microsoft, has patented a sinister technology that uses implanted chips with sensors that will monitor body and brain activity. It promises to reward compliant humans with crypto currency payments when they perform assigned activities.
Gates also invested approximately $20 million in MicroCHIPS, a company that makes chip-based devices, including birth-control implant chips with wireless on/off switches for remote-controlled drug-delivery by medical authorities.
In July 2019, months before the COVID pandemic, Gates bought 3.7M shares of Serco, a military contractor with U.S. and UK government contracts to track and trace pandemic infections and vaccine compliance.
To facilitate our transition to his surveillance society, Gates invested $1 billion in EarthNow, which promises to blanket the globe in 5G video surveillance satellites. EarthNow will launch 500 satellites allowing governments and large enterprises to live-stream monitor almost every “corner” of the Earth, providing instantaneous video feedback with one-second delay.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also acquired 5.3 million shares of Crown Castle, which owns 5G spy antennas including more than 40,000 cell towers and 65,000 small cells.
Please make your own copy of these clips — as Gates’ power to disappear inconvenient facts is expanding every digital day.

ER Editor: Last Friday, the Vatican under globalist Bergoglio pulled a blinder. Once again to be filed under ‘you couldn’t make this up’. Let us be reminded of an appropriate nativity scene:

******** Williams: Vatican Unveils Hideous Nativity Scene in Saint Peter’s Square THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, Ph.D. ROME — The Vatican uncovered its 2020 manger scene in Saint Peter’s Square Friday, leaving onlookers scattered, scandalized, and scornful. Observers shoveled abuse upon the unfortunate spectacle, rivaling each other to come up with the most appropriate epithets to describe the appalling scene. “Mummified Mary,” “Weeble Jesus” (after the ovate children’s toys launched by Hasbro in the 1970s), “Martians,” “toilet paper rolls,” and “astronauts” were some of the comparisons made to the cylindrical figures meant to represent the Holy Family, the Magi, and the shepherds at Bethlehem.

Others saw in one ominous figure the helmeted image of “the Mountain” from the Game of Thrones television series, while another conjured up memories of the Robot from Lost in Space: As one irate Italian wrote on social media of the Vatican manger scene, “Ugliness is the first thing you notice, followed by a lack of familial warmth and the distancing guaranteed by the cylindrical figures. If you wish to judge harshly, the cylinders call to mind the sacred poles of Satanic cults condemned in the Bible.” Traditionally, a manger scene is intended to evoke feelings of piety and devotion — not pity and revulsion — over the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, and thus this particularly regrettable work offends not only aesthetic sensibilities, but also the religious reverence of the faithful. The Vatican said the Nativity scene exhibited in St. Peter’s Square was created by the students and faculty of the FA Grue Art Institute, a state-run high school for design, which in the decade of 1965-1975 devoted its scholastic activity to the theme of Christmas. (ER: ‘So they’re responsible.’) “We believe that this year’s experience of a Nativity scene donated by an Artistic High School is really a powerful summons for everyone to invest more in the training of the new generations both at the level of middle and high schools and for the university world,” said Bishop Lorenzo Leuzzi in a statement guaranteed to garner broad consensus. Elizabeth Lev, an American art historian living and teaching in Rome, told Breitbart News she thinks the choice was a poor one. “The Nativity celebrates the Incarnation, God who comes into the world as flesh, not in a totemic form,” Dr. Lev declared. “At the end of this extremely difficult year people are looking for beauty, for something to elevate, inspire, and unite them, and the scene offered in Saint Peter’s Square gives them something else altogether.” CONTINUE READING HERE Published to The Liberty Beacon from EuropeReloaded.com
