wnd--2020-10-01--Poll: Half of America isprepping for 'civil war'

Poll results that one survey organizer describes as `` frightening '' show that 3 of 5 respondents say the United States is on the `` verge '' of civil war and more than half already are preparing for it .
The poll was documented by Paul Bedard in his Washington Secrets column .
The assessment comes from Engagious , Sports and Leisure Research Group and ROKK Solutions .
`` This is the single most frightening poll result I ’ ve ever been associated with , '' Rich Thau , head of Engagious , told Secrets .
Bedard reported his column @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been sizing up the state of the nation and business since the coronavirus crisis hit . ''
This one , he said , is the first to `` raise majority concerns about a potential war . ''
That 's even though the Black Lives Matter agenda continues to `` conduct heated protests to the point of riots '' across America .
The polling said 61 % believe the U.S. is nearing a second civil war .
Forty-one percent `` strongly agree '' with that .
And 52 % are `` so convinced that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or after Election Day , that they are putting away food and other essentials . ''
There have been allegations on both sides of the political aisle that the other side plans to steal the election .
Democrats across the country are lobbying for mail-in ballots , while Republicans are opposing abrupt and major changes in the election system so close to voting .
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi even has speculated about being president for a time , if either candidate can not win a majority in the Electoral College and the vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Secrets reported , `` Predictably , it 's the political extremes who are most ready for war , with 52 % of very liberal , 52 % of very conservative , 32 % of somewhat liberal , 34 % of moderate , and 35 % of somewhat conservative respondents saying they believe the statement ' I 'm concerned that the U.S. could be on the verge of another civil war . '
'' Bedard reported there 's also a contributing factor from the coronavirus , because many people believe it will spike again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ become scare .

Three of five Americans believe the nation is on the verge of a civil war, and more than half already are preparing for it, according to a new poll.
"This is the single most frightening poll result I’ve ever been associated with," the pollster, Rich Thau, told Paul Bedard in his "Washington Secrets" column for the Washington Examiner.
The poll by Engagious, Sports and Leisure Research Group and ROKK Solutions found 61% of Americans believe the U.S. is nearing a second civil war. Forty-one percent "strongly agree" with that. And 52% are "so convinced that it is just around the corner, or after Election Day, that they are putting away food and other essentials."
Bedard reported his column has been following surveys "that have been sizing up the state of the nation and business since the coronavirus crisis hit." '

This one, he said, is the first to "raise majority concerns about a potential war."
"Predictably, it's the political extremes who are most ready for war, with 52% of very liberal, 52% of very conservative, 32% of somewhat liberal, 34% of moderate, and 35% of somewhat conservative respondents saying they believe the statement 'I'm concerned that the U.S. could be on the verge of another civil war,'" Bedard wrote.
The coronavirus pandemic is a contributing factor, he said, because many believe it will spike again, and food and other essentials will become scarce.

wnd--2020-10-03--Kentucky AG reacts to charge he 'betrayed his race'

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron responded Thursday to charges that his handling of the Breonna Taylor case is a betrayal to fellow African Americans .
`` It is so unfortunate that because I have a different political philosophy and because of my role as the attorney general and as the special prosecutor in the Breonna Taylor investigation , because I led with the facts and the truth and had that lead to the conclusion , somehow I betrayed my race , '' Cameron said in an interview with `` Tucker Carlson Tonight . ''
Cameron , 34 , announced Sept. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would bring no murder charges against three Louisville police officers in connection with Taylor 's death .
Critics labeled him `` a sellout '' and a `` hollow skull . ''
Women 's March co-founder Tamika Mallory was among many who said that while be may be `` skinfolk , '' he 's not `` kinfolk '' '' It is repugnant , it is so disappointing , but it 's par for the course , '' Cameron said .
`` Anytime someone stands for the truth , and when that truth is different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by others , this is how they respond . ''
Cameron said he finally was addressing the attacks because `` enough is enough . ''
Cameron was elected last year as Kentucky 's first black attorney general ever and its first Republican AG in more than 70 years .
`` Black Republicans , folks that believe in the truth ... we are going to stand up , '' he said .
`` That 's what I did in presenting all of the information to the grand jury in the Breonna Taylor investigation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do .
It is my responsibility to be attorney general of the Commonwealth of Kentucky . ''
Louisville Metro Police Department officer Brett Hankison faces three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment for allegedly firing bullets into neighboring apartments in the March 13 drug raid that resulted in Taylor 's death .
No charges were filed against the officers who entered Taylor 's apartment , Sgt .
Jonathan Mattingly and Detective Myles Cosgrove , who fired back after Taylor 's boyfriend , Kenneth Walker , opened fire .
Taylor 's death is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but that `` does n't allow for me to not present facts and truth -- and that 's what we 've done here . ''
At the Sept. 23 news conference , Cameron said that according to Kentucky law , the use of force by Mattingly and Cosgrove `` was justified to protect themselves . ''
Walker admits he fired first at police , who contend they knocked at the door of the apartment and announced themselves before breaking in .
An independent witness confirmed that the police knocked and announced themselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but did n't hear police announce themselves and thought it might be Taylor 's former boyfriend .
Taylor was not asleep when she was shot , as was widely claimed , but was standing in the hallway of the dark apartment with Walker while he was firing at the officers .
Mattingly and Cosgrove returned fire after Mattingly was struck by a bullet that , according to forensics , came from Walker 's weapon .
It has also been claimed that the officers were at the wrong apartment and that Taylor was not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The officers , in fact , had a `` no knock warrant '' to search Taylor 's apartment .
And they had evidence of her participation in a drug ring with the former boyfriend , Jamarcus Glover .

Police had evidence packages were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Glover picked up .
And a recorded jail call made by Glover on the same day that Taylor was shot names her as the person who was `` handling '' his money .
No money was found at her residence during the police search , the paper said .
Other evidence of Taylor 's involvement included a call Glover made to her from jail on Jan. 3 in which he asked her to contact one of his co-defendants to get bail money .
Taylor said the associate was `` already at the trap @ @ @ @ @ @ @ house used for drug trafficking .
Glover told her to be on standby to pick him up if he made bail .
`` Love you , '' he said as he ended the call .
`` Love you , too , '' she replied .

Other evidence of Taylor's involvement included a call Glover made to her from jail on Jan. 3 in which he asked her to contact one of his co-defendants to get bail money.
Taylor said the associate was "already at the trap," a slang term for a house used for drug trafficking. Glover told her to be on standby to pick him up if he made bail.
"Love you," he said as he ended the call.
"Love you, too," she replied.
The Courier Journal reported there were several instances in which Taylor posted bond for Glover and another man involved in the case, Darreal Forest.
In the Jan. 3 call, Glover asked Taylor to contact a man named Adrian Walker — no relation to Kenneth Walker — to round up bail money.
After Taylor's death on March 13, according to the internal report, Glover spoke by phone with Adrian Walker, expressing his grief.
"I’m tore," he said. I'm tore.
"... I lose people that really be close to me. That hurt, boy."
Glover blamed Kenneth Walker for Taylor's death.
"At the end of the day it was not my fault," Glover said. " … At the end of the day, if I would have been at that house Bre would be alive, bruh. … I don't shoot at no police."

wnd--2020-10-02--Trump support gets big surge among Latinos, nearly doubles since 2016

President Donald Trump 's significantly higher level of support among Latino voters than in 2016 could make the difference in him securing a second term in November .
A newly released survey of Christian Latino registered voters by Claremont McKenna College found Trump with a 32 percent favorability rating .
The president 's level of support among Latinos overall in July 2016 , just months before the election , stood at 14 percent , with 82 percent of registered voters viewing him unfavorably , according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll .
A Wall Street Journal/NBC/Telemundo poll released in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had 26 percent support among registered Latino voters , which is nearly double his 2016 support .
The telephone poll was conducted between Sept. 13 and Sept. 16 among 300 Hispanic registered voters , with a margin of error of +/- 5.7 percentage points .
Gaston Espinosa -- chair of religious studies at Claremont McKenna College and author of the college 's survey -- told The Western Journal during a Zoom call with reporters on Wednesday that the level of Christian Latino support for Trump closely tracks the overall tally , which he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ The percentages are not going to change that much in the general population of Latinos because they tend to more or less mirror the findings among Latino Christians , '' he said .
Christian Latinos -- Catholic , Protestant/other Christian -- make up 85 percent of the population 's voting electorate , Espinosa added .
Espinosa estimated Trump 's support among Latinos as a whole to be over 30 percent .
“ Based on Trumps favorability rating , the fact that conservatives underreport , and that a high percentage of independent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Trump may end up taking 31-34 percent of the U.S. Latino vote -- though probably around 32-33 percent , ” he said in a news release .
The Claremont McKenna survey consisted of 1,292 Christian Latino registered voters , conducted from Sept. 8 to Sept. 22 , with a margin of error of +/- 2.73 percent .
An Investors Business Daily/TIPP poll released Friday backed up Espinosa 's assessment , finding Trump 's support among Latinos at 36 percent .
CNN exit polling from the 2016 election showed Trump taking 28 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton .
If Trump were to garner 32 percent or more of the Latino vote , that would put him above the late Sen. John McCain of Arizona , who took an estimated 31 percent in his 2008 presidential race against Barack Obama .
McCain co-sponsored immigration reform legislation and was seen as supportive of the Latino community , which makes up approximately 32 percent of Arizona 's population .
Texas resident George W. Bush did the best with Latinos among recent GOP presidential candidates , taking roughly 44 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against then Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts .

wnd--2020-10-02--Is the Chinese Communist Party funneling money to rioters?

New developments reveal the breadth and depth of the Chinese Communist Party 's war against America .
Last week , federal authorities charged a New York City police officer with being a paid agent of the CCP for the past six years .
The indictment says handlers in the Chinese consulate had officer Baimadajie Angwang , a naturalized U.S. citizen , keeping tabs on Tibetans living in New York .
Angwang was being directed by the China Association for Preservation and Development of Tibetan Culture , part of the CCP United Front Work Department responsible for `` neutralizing sources of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' of the CCP , according to federal prosecutors .
The United Front Work Department is the CCP 's official overseas propaganda tool , one of the party 's `` Magic Weapons , '' in the words of Chairman Mao .
When the CCP seeks to `` neutralize '' opponents nothing is off the table , particularly when the neutralizer carries a gun .
Angwang was also a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserve with a `` secret '' -level security clearance .
Did those vetting Angwang not know his father is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a member of the Chinese Communist Party , his mother is a retired government official and also a member of the CCP , and his brother serves as a reservist in the PLA , as prosecutors allege ?
Perhaps the Justice Department – and the Army – should be devoting more resources to countering the CCP espionage threat and less to diversity training .
CCP 's influence operations in the U.S. are widespread .
In 2018 , the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars , a Washington think tank , held a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the U.S. : Shedding Some Light on All the Heat , '' arguing essentially there was nothing to worry about .
The think tank failed to disclose that Wang Huiyao , one of its panelists scheduled to speak , was a member of the CCP 's United Front Work Department and the Party 's Central Committee .
The CCP typically buys influence by offering their targets sweetheart deals to make them favorably disposed to China .
And they often use family members to reach their target .
When CCP-connected companies gave Hunter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he and his wife used for a luxury shopping spree and $ 1.5 billion to set up an investment fund , it had all the earmarks of a classic influence operation .
The CCP 's threatened blacklist of American technology firms also fits with its influence operations , particularly how it is considering withholding the blacklist until after the election .
`` Many in China are hoping to reset relations with the U.S. should Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden defeat Mr. Trump , '' the Wall Street Journal report .
`` Mr. Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with China over regional issues such as Afghanistan , Iran and North Korea .
Mr. Biden would also likely engage China in dealing with climate change . ''
Beijing is banking on tech firms eager to gain a piece of the China market to go all out for Joe Biden .
The CCP ran that play with Hollywood , and it paid off for Beijing and for Biden .
The office of then-Vice President Biden overruled a decision to grant asylum to a high-ranking CCP official in charge of criminal investigations whose value @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The defector , Wang Lijun , was turned away after 30 hours inside the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu and given over to China 's Ministry of State Security .
Antony Blinken , Biden 's national security adviser , killed Wang 's asylum appeal .
Blinken feared China would cancel the upcoming visit by Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping , whose visit was to be hosted by Biden , the Free Beacon reports .
During that visit , Xi and Biden met with Jeffrey Katzenberg , the head of DreamWorks Animation and Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the visit , Dreamworks announced a $ 330 million joint venture with Chinese companies to develop and distribute animated films in China .
Hollywood has been a reliable ally of Beijing – and Biden – ever since .
Sometimes the CCP influence operations in the U.S. are even more brazen .
Wu Ting , the wife of China 's consul general in Chicago , emailed Wisconsin State Senate President Roger Roth in March asking him to submit a resolution praising the CCP 's response to the coronavirus pandemic , helpfully attaching draft @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the outrageous request , Roth led the passage of a different resolution , stating `` the Communist Party of China deliberately and intentionally misled the world on the Wuhan Coronavirus . ''
In April Ms. Wu was at it again , emailing CCP propaganda to the district director of Rep. Mike Gallagher , R-Wis. , including this gem : `` We are firmly opposed to racial discrimination and xenophobia against the local Chinese community and stigmatization of China and the Chinese people over the virus . ''
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pulled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is up to : '' The CCP thinks it can drown out American cries for accountability with shouts of racism .
It wants to foment the kind of strife we 've seen in Minneapolis , and Portland , and Kenosha , '' Pompeo told the Wisconsin State Senate .
The CCP could be using more than words to foment racial strife .
Retired CIA officer Sam Faddis lays out the evidence showing how the CCP could well be funneling money to riot organizers .
Donations to a Black Lives Matter affiliate known as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through an organization known as the Chinese Progressive Association .
The CPA was founded in 1972 and according to a Stanford University paper , `` The CPA began as a Leftist , pro-People 's Republic of China organization , promoting awareness of mainland China 's revolutionary thought and workers ' rights , and dedicated to self-determination , community control , and 'serving the people . '
'' The CPA `` worked with other pro-PRC groups within the U.S. and San Francisco Bay Area .
… Support for the PRC was based on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saw as a successful grassroots model that presented a viable alternative to Western capitalism , '' the paper says .
CPA is especially active in San Francisco .
Russell Lowe , Sen. Dianne Feinstein 's office director who was outed as a Chinese spy is a close associate of CPA 's former Vice-Chair Eric Mar , Faddis reports .
The CPA has reliably toed the CCP propaganda line .
In 2017 the CPA joined with other pro-Beijing Bay Area groups to create the End National Security Scapegoating ( ENSS ) coalition .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it calls `` pervasive efforts by the U.S. Department of Justice ( DOJ ) that target and prosecute Chinese-American individuals for espionage-related crimes .
… Today 's wrongful espionage prosecutions against Asian Americans must also be viewed and challenged alongside the broader foundation of racism and discrimination that fuels such injustices . ''
Echoes of Ms. Wu .
Like the CCP , the CPA is using cries of racism not only to deflect responsibility for the China virus but also to push back against our government 's long-overdue crackdown on Beijing 's espionage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as Faddis sums up , `` there is every indication the CPA , the outfit funneling money to the people burning our cities , is a Chinese intelligence front organization , part of what is China 's well known worldwide 'United Front ' apparatus . ''
When corporate media express `` concern '' over anti-Asian racism without telling readers the CCP uses precisely such `` concerns '' in its propaganda and influence operations , we see yet again how deeply those operations have penetrated all institutions in our society .

New developments reveal the breadth and depth of the Chinese Communist Party's war against America.
Last week, federal authorities charged a New York City police officer with being a paid agent of the CCP for the past six years. The indictment says handlers in the Chinese consulate had officer Baimadajie Angwang, a naturalized U.S. citizen, keeping tabs on Tibetans living in New York.
Angwang was being directed by the China Association for Preservation and Development of Tibetan Culture, part of the CCP United Front Work Department responsible for "neutralizing sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority" of the CCP, according to federal prosecutors.
The United Front Work Department is the CCP's official overseas propaganda tool, one of the party's "Magic Weapons," in the words of Chairman Mao. When the CCP seeks to "neutralize" opponents nothing is off the table, particularly when the neutralizer carries a gun.
Angwang was also a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserve with a "secret"-level security clearance. Did those vetting Angwang not know his father is retired from the People's Liberation Army and a member of the Chinese Communist Party, his mother is a retired government official and also a member of the CCP, and his brother serves as a reservist in the PLA, as prosecutors allege?

Wu Ting, the wife of China's consul general in Chicago, emailed Wisconsin State Senate President Roger Roth in March asking him to submit a resolution praising the CCP's response to the coronavirus pandemic, helpfully attaching draft language for the resolution.
After trashing the outrageous request, Roth led the passage of a different resolution, stating "the Communist Party of China deliberately and intentionally misled the world on the Wuhan Coronavirus."
In April Ms. Wu was at it again, emailing CCP propaganda to the district director of Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., including this gem: "We are firmly opposed to racial discrimination and xenophobia against the local Chinese community and stigmatization of China and the Chinese people over the virus."
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pulled no punches in describing what the CCP is up to:
"The CCP thinks it can drown out American cries for accountability with shouts of racism. It wants to foment the kind of strife we've seen in Minneapolis, and Portland, and Kenosha," Pompeo told the Wisconsin State Senate.
The CCP could be using more than words to foment racial strife. Retired CIA officer Sam Faddis lays out the evidence showing how the CCP could well be funneling money to riot organizers.
Donations to a Black Lives Matter affiliate known as the Black Futures Lab are being routed through an organization known as the Chinese Progressive Association.
The CPA was founded in 1972 and according to a Stanford University paper, "The CPA began as a Leftist, pro-People's Republic of China organization, promoting awareness of mainland China's revolutionary thought and workers' rights, and dedicated to self-determination, community control, and 'serving the people.'"
The CPA "worked with other pro-PRC groups within the U.S. and San Francisco Bay Area. … Support for the PRC was based on the inspiration the members drew from what they saw as a successful grassroots model that presented a viable alternative to Western capitalism," the paper says.
CPA is especially active in San Francisco. Russell Lowe, Sen. Dianne Feinstein's office director who was outed as a Chinese spy is a close associate of CPA's former Vice-Chair Eric Mar, Faddis reports.
The CPA has reliably toed the CCP propaganda line. In 2017 the CPA joined with other pro-Beijing Bay Area groups to create the End National Security Scapegoating (ENSS) coalition. This organization was created in reaction to what it calls "pervasive efforts by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that target and prosecute Chinese-American individuals for espionage-related crimes. … Today's wrongful espionage prosecutions against Asian Americans must also be viewed and challenged alongside the broader foundation of racism and discrimination that fuels such injustices."
Echoes of Ms. Wu. Like the CCP, the CPA is using cries of racism not only to deflect responsibility for the China virus but also to push back against our government's long-overdue crackdown on Beijing's espionage within our country.
To be clear, as Faddis sums up, "there is every indication the CPA, the outfit funneling money to the people burning our cities, is a Chinese intelligence front organization, part of what is China's well known worldwide 'United Front' apparatus."
When corporate media express "concern" over anti-Asian racism without telling readers the CCP uses precisely such "concerns" in its propaganda and influence operations, we see yet again how deeply those operations have penetrated all institutions in our society.


wnd--2020-10-02--The ChiComs strike again – this time hitting the first family

For our Republican president and first lady , COVID-19 has ironically always been perhaps the biggest elephant in the White House situation room !
Of course , the leftist looting , maiming and killing in our riotous streets are also at critical mass , but now , with President Donald J. Trump and first lady Melania Trump having contracted the virus , throwing the nation and the world into more chaos , I again have to raise the compelling question , as I have been doing in my daily podcasts and weekly radio show , why our government – and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has done nothing – repeat , nothing – to hold the Communist Chinese leadership in Beijing accountable for the huge damage they have caused to our health , economic and emotional well-being of our once-mighty country .
In this regard , one also has to ask the question why it uniquely fell upon Freedom Watch and our Israeli legal colleagues in Tel Aviv to take action by way of filing class action lawsuits to seek redress for the damage the ChiComs have caused .
I couple this with Freedom Watch 's criminal complaint @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in The Hague , and without being boastful – since these dire times do not lend themselves to self-serving bravado , but instead real action – recognize that we are the only ones who have taken on Beijing .
In so doing , Freedom Watch and our Israeli counterparts have amassed a team of medical and other experts who have and will testify under oath to what now is the obvious .
The COVID-19 pandemic had its roots in our own military viral laboratory in Fort Detrick , Maryland .
The virus was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China for testing and study , which legally could not be performed in the United States , and there the ChiComs engineered it into a bioweapon .
As the French would sarcastically say , `` Quel surprise ! ''
Of course , the `` geniuses '' who hatched this scenario were none other than the now self-styled leftist guru of virology Anthony Fauci and his accomplice , former President Barack Obama , who sent millions of dollars to the Communist Chinese to pay for so-called research , which has now put our president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ serious illness or even losing their lives .
The experts – and one in particular , Dr. Judy Mikovits , who closely worked with Fauci at Fort Detrick and elsewhere – know what happened , but predictably have been banned from social and other media , ridiculed and made `` lepers '' by the leftist media and even many on the conservative side .
Regarding the latter , after Dr. Mikovits and I gave an interview about all of this to Eric Bolling , who had been resurrected as a television journalist by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manages hundreds of local television stations in major media markets around the country – after Eric had been fired by Fox News for allegedly sending lewd photos to other staff , this political pundit panicked when CNN and George Soros ' Media Matters predictably attacked Dr. Mikovits and me as , in effect , `` heretics '' and had our interview pulled .
Bolling obviously thought that he could also lose his job at Sinclair , over the leftist-inspired firestorm telling the truth may cause .
That our own so-called government played an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus explains why President Trump himself , usually a man of action , has been inert in holding the ChiComs accountable in a real way .
One does not have to be a rocket scientist to conclude that Trump obviously has been briefed on the early involvement of Fauci and the Obama administration in providing the seeds of the `` murder weapon '' to the Wuhan lab .
And , the president probably also knows that some of the grant money authorized by the Obama administration was provided to the Wuhan lab during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he did not know it at the time .
To be blunt , I have been saying over and over and over again , in constructive if not `` loving '' criticism of President Trump , that it is far from enough to blame the Communist Chinese by calling them names and beating one 's chest , claiming that they will be held to account .
It is not enough to sarcastically call COVID-19 the `` Kung Flu '' or threaten Beijing by proclaiming that the United States has the most powerful military @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Not only is this childish , but the ChiComs are hardly quaking in their Maoist boots , having now themselves the largest naval fleet in the world .
Now that the president and first lady have themselves become the victims of COVID-19 , one can only hope that The Donald will instruct his heretofore worthless attorney general , `` Blowhard Bill '' Barr , to have our so-called Justice Department intervene in and support Freedom Watch 's class action lawsuit in federal court in Dallas , Texas , seeking redress for American citizens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to our health , financial well-being and emotional lives .
But , if the past is a prologue , the Deep State in the executive branch and our other two branches of government , which I write about in my new book `` It Takes a Revolution : Forget the Scandal Industry ! ''
will not let this happen .
My new book 's call to legal and peaceful arms can now be pre-ordered on Amazon.com , BarnesandNoble.com and all major booksellers .
And this , fellow patriots is why I have written @ @ @ @ @ @ @ educate and then mobilize the American people that no matter who wins the next election – and with President Trump now contracting COVID it seems much less than certain that he will be the victor – the citizenry must again rise up and wage a second American revolution .
The barbarians within our gates , who consist of the radical left embodied in the Democratic Party , and the barbarians outside our gates , such as the Communist leadership in Beijing who have penetrated our gates with their bioweapon , are on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation has stood for , as conceived of by our Founding Fathers on July 4 , 1776 .
In the words of Thomas Paine in the days leading up to our first revolution , `` these are the times that try mens ' souls . ''
Now is not the time for `` sunshine patriots , '' so get off the couch , stop being entertained by cable news , and let 's get to work ourselves to save the republic .
Join me in doing so by going to www.freedomwatchusa.org and supporting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Hague to hold the ChiComs accountable , as well as our other `` revolutionary '' endeavors .

(KSTP) There's not enough evidence to prove that a group of white men set a young biracial woman on fire during a chaotic night of protests in Wisconsin's capital city this summer, federal prosecutors said Friday.
Detectives were unable to find any surveillance video that shows the alleged attack taking place, but they did find footage indicating the woman wasn't in the city at the time she says she was attacked, according to investigative reports.
Althea Bernstein, 18, told police she was attacked by four white men while driving through a protest in downtown Madison around 1 a.m. on June 24. Bernstein said she was stopped at a red light when she heard someone yell a racial slur and one of the men sprayed her with lighter fluid through her open window and threw a flaming lighter at her, setting her neck and face on fire.
