thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-27--Why Every Person In America Needs To Become A Prepper During The Second Half Of 2020

Why Every Person In America Needs To Become A Prepper During The Second Half Of 2020 It has been on my heart to write this article for a few days , but I knew that it wouldn ’ t be easy to write .
2020 has already been one of the worst years in modern U.S. history , and it looks like the next six months are going to be extremely challenging as well .
But even though most Americans are expecting that things will return to “ normal ” in 2021 and beyond , the truth is that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witnessing is only in the very early stages .
All of the old cycles are ending , all of the bubbles are bursting , and we are starting to experience the consequences of decades of incredibly foolish decisions .
So even though the remaining months of 2020 will be chaotic , the truth is that things are going to get progressively worse as the years move along .
That means that you should use this period of time to prepare for what is ahead of us , because at some point the window @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for good .
COVID-19 should have been a wake-up call for all of us .
Lockdowns were implemented very suddenly once the virus started to spread in the U.S. , and shortages of key items began to happen .
To this day , many retailers are still limiting the number of items that you can buy in certain categories .
Hopefully , this has helped people to understand that if you have not stocked up in advance , you may not be able to go out and get what you need when a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stages of this pandemic , a lot of people ended up being stuck at home without enough supplies .
In the event of a truly historic emergency , you can certainly survive without toilet paper , but if you run out of food , you could find yourself in big trouble quite quickly .
The good news is that COVID-19 is not going to kill us all .
About half a million people around the world have died so far , and the final death toll will be a lot lower than the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 to 1920 .
But if our society was extremely ill-prepared for a pandemic of this nature , what is going to happen when a pandemic that is much more severe hits us ?
Scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before a killer plague sweeps across the planet , and the Bible tells us that there will be “ pestilences ” in the last days .
If you find yourself isolated at home for an extended period of time as millions of others are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be able to survive on what you have already stored up ?
If not , you need to get to work .
Big economic problems are ahead as well .
So far in 2020 , more than 47 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits , more than 100,000 businesses have permanently closed their doors , and it is being projected that U.S. GDP will decline by 46.6 percent on an annualized bases during the second quarter .
Those are absolutely disastrous numbers , but so far trillions of dollars of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pain .
But those emergency measures were only meant to get us through a few months , and it is now becoming clear that this new economic depression will be with us for a very long time to come .
Of course , deteriorating economic conditions will fuel even more civil unrest .

It has been on my heart to write this article for a few days, but I knew that it wouldn’t be easy to write. 2020 has already been one of the worst years in modern U.S. history, and it looks like the next six months are going to be extremely challenging as well. But even though most Americans are expecting that things will return to “normal” in 2021 and beyond, the truth is that the “perfect storm” that we are witnessing is only in the very early stages. All of the old cycles are ending, all of the bubbles are bursting, and we are starting to experience the consequences of decades of incredibly foolish decisions. So even though the remaining months of 2020 will be chaotic, the truth is that things are going to get progressively worse as the years move along. That means that you should use this period of time to prepare for what is ahead of us, because at some point the window of opportunity to prepare will be closed for good.
COVID-19 should have been a wake-up call for all of us. Lockdowns were implemented very suddenly once the virus started to spread in the U.S., and shortages of key items began to happen. To this day, many retailers are still limiting the number of items that you can buy in certain categories. Hopefully, this has helped people to understand that if you have not stocked up in advance, you may not be able to go out and get what you need when a major crisis strikes.
During the initial stages of this pandemic, a lot of people ended up being stuck at home without enough supplies. In the event of a truly historic emergency, you can certainly survive without toilet paper, but if you run out of food, you could find yourself in big trouble quite quickly.
The good news is that COVID-19 is not going to kill us all. About half a million people around the world have died so far, and the final death toll will be a lot lower than the tens of millions that died during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 to 1920.
But if our society was extremely ill-prepared for a pandemic of this nature, what is going to happen when a pandemic that is much more severe hits us?
Scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before a killer plague sweeps across the planet, and the Bible tells us that there will be “pestilences” in the last days. If you find yourself isolated at home for an extended period of time as millions of others are dying from a virus, will you be able to survive on what you have already stored up?

Those are absolutely disastrous numbers, but so far trillions of dollars of emergency government spending have helped to ease the pain.
But those emergency measures were only meant to get us through a few months, and it is now becoming clear that this new economic depression will be with us for a very long time to come.
Of course, deteriorating economic conditions will fuel even more civil unrest. We have seen rioting, looting, arson and violence in city after city, and much more civil unrest is on the horizon.
If you live in one of our major urban areas, you may want to move while you still can. Due to a huge surge in demand, property prices in the most desirable small towns and rural areas are already starting to go through the roof.
On top of everything else, food shortages are starting to occur all over the globe. According to the head of the UN, we are on the verge of seeing “unimaginable devastation and suffering around the world”…
The U.N. chief on Thursday warned the largest gathering of world leaders since the coronavirus pandemic began that it will cause “unimaginable devastation and suffering around the world,” with historic levels of hunger and famine and up to 1.6 billion people unable to earn a living unless action is taken now.
Giant swarms of locusts the size of major cities are devouring crops in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, African Swine Fever has already killed about one-fourth of all the pigs in the entire world, and crazy weather patterns have been playing havoc with crop production all over the planet.
And now on top of everything else COVID-19 is greatly disrupting food distribution systems all over the world.
We have never seen so many severe threats to global food production occur simultaneously, and the Bible clearly tells us that there will be “famine” in the last days.
Meanwhile, a major war could erupt in the Middle East at any moment. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that he will begin the process of annexing portions of Judea and Samaria in July, and Israel’s Arab neighbors have promised a very forceful response if that actually happens.
The region has constantly been on the precipice of war for years, and this could potentially be the trigger that finally causes it to happen.
If everything that I have discussed so far wasn’t enough, the planet that we all live on is becoming increasingly unstable. We have witnessed a number of very alarming earthquakes this week, and a truly catastrophic event could literally happen at any moment.
As my regular readers already know, I am particularly concerned about seismic activity on the west coast and about the potential for a historic earthquake along the New Madrid fault zone.
But even considering everything that I just shared with you, there is no other time in human history that I would have rather been alive than right now.
All of human history has been building up to this point, and we are so fortunate to be living during this moment.
However, it is going to be exceedingly difficult to thrive during the historic events that are ahead if you have not made any preparations for what is coming.
I realize that things may seem very chaotic now, but the truth is that this is your window of opportunity to prepare.
I would take full advantage of that opportunity because the clock is ticking.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-27--There’s No Room for George Washington at George Washington University

When you accept the premise , you have to accept everything that follows .
If you accept that Confederate statues had to come down because they were slave owners , you also have to accept that statues of Washington and Jefferson have to come down .
And if you accept that America until the present moment was guilty of systemic racism , then all the statues have to come down .
And good old GWU in D.C. has shrugged at the toppling of a mighty bust of Washington .
The Hatchet reports that one of our iconic busts of George @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campus .
It has not however been discussed by the University or attributed to protesters .
The news of the toppling of our own statue received surprisingly little coverage by The Hatchet and I did not hear any public statement from our Administration .
I would have hoped that our university would have denounced this criminal act as a senseless and unacceptable act .
It certainly would seem to warrant a tad more than “ A GWPD officer found the head of a George Washington statue removed from a stand .
The head @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the stand .
GWPD called Facilities Services following the discovery.
” The event was first noted by Kara Zupkus of Young Americans for Freedom at GWU .
As Turley notes , the university has not commented on it and thus has not committed to restoring the bust .
The bust was donated to the university in honor of the bicentennial .
It was sculpted by Avard Fairbanks , a Mormon sculptor , whose work appears all over D.C .

‘De Blasio & Cuomo Get Creamed In Court’: Federal Judge Rules Cuomo, de Blasio Wrong To Limit Worship Services, Condone Mass Protests

The anti-American , anti-Christian ( one in the same ) people have it out for us , but the wall is still standing against them .
Now , it looks like New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio have gotten bested in court over their unlawful actions regarding worship and protests .
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is wrong to limit worship services yet condone mass protests , according to a federal judge .
After telling Thomas More Society attorneys in a June 18 , 2020 hearing that he was “ troubled by ” the government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Judge Gary L. Sharpe issued a preliminary injunction on June 26 , 2020 , prohibiting Governor Cuomo , his Attorney General Letitia James , and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio from ordering or enforcing COVID-19 prompted restrictions on outdoor religious worship gatherings .
Thomas More Society Special Counsel Christopher Ferrara remarked , “ We are pleased that Judge Sharpe was able to see through the sham of Governor Cuomo ’ s ‘ Social Distancing Protocol ’ which went right out the window as soon as he and Mayor de Blasio saw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the streets by the thousands .
Suddenly , the limit on ‘ mass gatherings ’ was no longer necessary to ‘ save lives.
’ Yet they were continuing to ban high school graduations and other outdoor gatherings exceeding a mere 25 people .
This decision is an important step toward inhibiting the suddenly emerging trend of exercising absolute monarchy on pretext of public health .
What this kind of regime really meant in practice is freedom for me , but not for thee.
” Sharpe ’ s order noted that , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ role to second guess the likes of Governor Cuomo or Mayor de Blasio when it comes to decisions they make in such troubling times , that is , until those decisions result in the curtailment of fundamental rights without compelling justification.
” In awarding the injunction , the court noted that “ nonessential businesses ” that enjoy a 50 % capacity limitation are not justifiably different than houses of worship .
Sharpe remarked that offices , retails stores , salons , and restaurants – all now permitted to open at 50 % capacity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people for a length of time .
He stated , “ These secular businesses/activities threaten defendants ’ interest in slowing the spread of COVID-19 to a similar or greater degree than those of plaintiffs ’ , and demonstrate that the 25 % indoor capacity limitation on houses of worship is underinclusive and triggers strict scrutiny review.
” The judge pointed out , “ Another case of individualized exemption seems even more obvious.
” Governor Cuomo has now specifically authorized outdoor , in-person graduation ceremonies of no more than 150 people .
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ twenty-five-person outdoor limits that apply to other situations .
Yet , “ There is nothing materially different about a graduation ceremony and a religious gathering such that defendants ’ justifications for a difference in treatment can be found compelling.
” Sharpe took New York City to task , stating that de Blasio ’ s simultaneous pro-protest/anti-religious gathering messages “ clearly undermine the legitimacy ” of his argument that selective enforcement of the challenged laws with respect to mass race protests is a matter of public safety .
“ Governor Cuomo and Mayor de @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protests , short of condemning their message , in the name of public health and exercised discretion to suspend enforcement for public safety reasons instead of encouraging what they knew was a flagrant disregard of the outdoor limits and social distancing rules , ” wrote Sharpe .
“ They could have also been silent .
But by acting as they did , Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio sent a clear message that mass protests are deserving of preferential treatment.
” As a result of the federal order , Governor Cuomo , Attorney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are “ enjoined and restrained from enforcing any indoor gathering limitations ” against the involved houses of worship “ greater than imposed for Phase 2 industries , ” provided that participants follow the prescribed social distancing .
They are also forbidden from “ enforcing any limitation for outdoor gatherings provided that participants in such gatherings follow social distancing requirements as set forth in the applicable executive orders and guidance.
” Cuomo , James , and de Blasio were sued by two Catholic priests from upstate New York and a trio of Orthodox Jewish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ civil rights by prejudicial orders and selective enforcement .
The federal lawsuit , filed June 10 , 2020 , in United States District Court for the Northern District of New York , charged the governor , attorney general , and mayor with violating the plaintiffs ’ rights to free exercise of religion , freedom of speech , assembly and expressive association , and due process , under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution .
Governor Cuomo was also accused of violating New York state law and the New York State @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ In an unprecedented abuse of power , Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio have exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to create , over the past three months , a veritable dictatorship by means of a complex web of executive orders .

The Thomas More Society reports:
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is wrong to limit worship services yet condone mass protests, according to a federal judge. After telling Thomas More Society attorneys in a June 18, 2020 hearing that he was “troubled by” the government’s responses, Senior U.S. District Judge Gary L. Sharpe issued a preliminary injunction on June 26, 2020, prohibiting Governor Cuomo, his Attorney General Letitia James, and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio from ordering or enforcing COVID-19 prompted restrictions on outdoor religious worship gatherings.

The judge pointed out, “Another case of individualized exemption seems even more obvious.” Governor Cuomo has now specifically authorized outdoor, in-person graduation ceremonies of no more than 150 people. This is an express exemption from the ten- or twenty-five-person outdoor limits that apply to other situations. Yet, “There is nothing materially different about a graduation ceremony and a religious gathering such that defendants’ justifications for a difference in treatment can be found compelling.”
Sharpe took New York City to task, stating that de Blasio’s simultaneous pro-protest/anti-religious gathering messages “clearly undermine the legitimacy” of his argument that selective enforcement of the challenged laws with respect to mass race protests is a matter of public safety.

Governor Cuomo was also accused of violating New York state law and the New York State Constitution.
Ferrara explained the lawsuit: “In an unprecedented abuse of power, Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio have exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to create, over the past three months, a veritable dictatorship by means of a complex web of executive orders. The orders have imposed and selectively enforced ‘social distancing’ under a ‘lockdown’ of virtually every aspect of life for New York state residents on the pretext of ‘public health,’ but with numerous exceptions. The permissible activities, not based on the science of viral contagion, but rather determined according to personal value judgments, have included mass demonstrations of thousands of people – gatherings of which the governor and mayor have approved and the mayor participated in. Cuomo and de Blasio, along with James, have enforced the gubernatorial ‘lockdown’ by threat of criminal prosecution and actual prosecution, including $1,000 fines for the recently created offense of violating Cuomo’s ‘Social Distancing Protocol’.”
Ferrara added, “These mass protest gatherings, taking place during the COVID-19 stay-at-home lockdown orders, have been not only allowed but praised by both the governor of New York and mayor of New York City, even though massive property damage and death have resulted. This, when the government’s primary purpose is to protect the people it governs.”

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-28--Tennessee Lawsuit: Cops Choke Handcuffed Man – Hold His Nose To Prevent Him From Breathing (Video)

Knoxville , TN — A couple is suing the city of Knoxville after three officers with the city ’ s police department arrested and assaulted them for retreating into their house when police arrived to respond to a call about a domestic dispute .
On June 13 , 2019 , Knoxville police were called to the home of John Gorghis and his wife , Kelli , but there are very few details about what caused the initial complaint .
When police arrived on the scene , the couple attempted to run inside and shut the door before officers could make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the door as the officers approached , but he ended up slamming Officer Preston Tucker ’ s fingers in the door in the process .
This likely set the officers off .
Tucker then pushed his way into the home and assaulted John , slamming his face onto the ground before handcuffing him and then throwing him in the back of another officer ’ s police car .
The officers on the scene also decided that Kelli should be arrested as well .
John Gorghis would be held in the back of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ randomly decided to inflict punishment on him .
Tucker removed John from the police car , threw him to the ground again while he was still handcuffed , and then the officers teamed up to put him in a chokehold .
This part of the encounter was captured on dash and body camera footage .
The officers claim that they were trying to get a picture of John ’ s face because it was injured in the initial scuffle , but he allegedly refused by putting his hands in front of his face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face , the officers said that they needed to readjust his handcuffs .
As he was being pulled out of the car , John pleaded with the officers and expressed his confusion with the situation .
“ Officer , I have the most respect for you and your profession .
I don ’ t know why you all are doing this to me !
” John shouted .
In the video , John can also be heard shouting “ Choke me out !
?
Choke me out !
?
I got all these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you holding my nose ?
Why are you holding my nose ?
I don ’ t understand this .
What the ( expletive ) did I do ?
What did I do ?
You have cuffs on me.
” Patrick Looper , the Gorghis ’ attorney , says that Officer Matthew Speiser choked John and tried to hold his nose to further restrict his breathing .
“ We will be filing a motion to amend our complaint .
After reviewing the video several times , it would appear that Officer Speiser was the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not Officer Tucker , ” Looper wrote in an email to KnoxNews .
Later the charges against the couple were dismissed , and they followed up with a lawsuit against the town and the officers involved .
The videos of the incident also showed that officers on the scene attempted to tamper with the footage by turning off their microphones at times during the incident .
Knoxville Police Department spokesperson Scott Erland said no internal affairs investigation was conducted , and that no officers were disciplined .
Capt .
Tony Willis defended the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their actions were entirely legal and justified .
“ I reviewed the in-car videos of the above incident and discovered that the involved officers were calm and professional throughout the encounter , including their demeanor after the subject was in custody , ” Willis Wrote .

Knoxville, TN — A couple is suing the city of Knoxville after three officers with the city’s police department arrested and assaulted them for retreating into their house when police arrived to respond to a call about a domestic dispute.
On June 13, 2019, Knoxville police were called to the home of John Gorghis and his wife, Kelli, but there are very few details about what caused the initial complaint. When police arrived on the scene, the couple attempted to run inside and shut the door before officers could make it inside. John tried to shut the door as the officers approached, but he ended up slamming Officer Preston Tucker’s fingers in the door in the process. This likely set the officers off.
Tucker then pushed his way into the home and assaulted John, slamming his face onto the ground before handcuffing him and then throwing him in the back of another officer’s police car. The officers on the scene also decided that Kelli should be arrested as well.
John Gorghis would be held in the back of the cruiser for over 20 minutes before police randomly decided to inflict punishment on him. Tucker removed John from the police car, threw him to the ground again while he was still handcuffed, and then the officers teamed up to put him in a chokehold. This part of the encounter was captured on dash and body camera footage.
The officers claim that they were trying to get a picture of John’s face because it was injured in the initial scuffle, but he allegedly refused by putting his hands in front of his face. To prevent him from blocking his face, the officers said that they needed to readjust his handcuffs.
As he was being pulled out of the car, John pleaded with the officers and expressed his confusion with the situation.
“Officer, I have the most respect for you and your profession. I don’t know why you all are doing this to me!” John shouted.
In the video, John can also be heard shouting “Choke me out!? Choke me out!? I got all these bruises on me now. Why are you holding my nose? Why are you holding my nose? I don’t understand this. What the (expletive) did I do? What did I do? You have cuffs on me.”
Patrick Looper, the Gorghis’ attorney, says that Officer Matthew Speiser choked John and tried to hold his nose to further restrict his breathing.
“We will be filing a motion to amend our complaint. After reviewing the video several times, it would appear that Officer Speiser was the officer who was choking my client and not Officer Tucker,” Looper wrote in an email to KnoxNews.
Later the charges against the couple were dismissed, and they followed up with a lawsuit against the town and the officers involved. The videos of the incident also showed that officers on the scene attempted to tamper with the footage by turning off their microphones at times during the incident.
Knoxville Police Department spokesperson Scott Erland said no internal affairs investigation was conducted, and that no officers were disciplined.
Capt. Tony Willis defended the officers in a statement, suggesting that their actions were entirely legal and justified.
“I reviewed the in-car videos of the above incident and discovered that the involved officers were calm and professional throughout the encounter, including their demeanor after the subject was in custody,” Willis Wrote.
As you watch the video below, imagine what kind of person it takes to justify treating someone like this. This is why people are in the street.

By Washington Examiner, June 25, 2020
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo admitted that he has not been objective in his interviews with his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The CNN anchor on Wednesday night pushed back on critics who said he has not been asking tough questions of the governor during his frequent interviews throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
“Obviously, I love you as a brother,” he told the governor. “Obviously, I’ll never be objective. Obviously, I think you’re the best politician in the country. But I hope you feel good about what you did for your people because I know they appreciate it. Nothing’s perfect. You’ll have your critics.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-28--Dick Cheney & the Neocon “Resistance”

Dick Cheney & the Neocon “Resistance”

Establishment Republicans are on the war path .
They are determined , in unison with “ woke ” Democrats , to get rid of Donald Trump come November .
In 2019 , a number of these Republicans formed the so-called “ Lincoln Project , ” an organized effort to trash Trump and throw support behind Joe Biden , thus once again demonstrating there is very little difference between establishment Republicans and Democrats .
On June 27 , Darth Vader of the neocons , former vice president and war criminal Dick Cheney , joined the establishment “ resistance ” to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says it will work to defeat Trump and restore the Constitution .
If the latter is true , why the hell did Republicans welcome Constitution-buster Cheney to the party ?
In addition to filling the Pentagon with Israel-first neocons and kick-starting the disastrous Afghanistan and Iraq wars , Cheney claimed special powers under the unitary executive , a theory that “ asserts that all executive authority must be in the President ’ s hands , without exception.
” In addition , Cheney proclaimed the VP office to be a “ fourth branch ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the American people .
“ Cheney has tried to increase executive power with a series of bold actions — some so audacious that even conservatives on the Supreme Court sympathetic to Cheney ’ s view have rejected them as overreaching , ” Dana Milbank wrote in 2004 for the establishment newspaper The Washington Post .
“ Many of the restraints on executive authority — the War Powers act , anti-impoundment legislation , the legislative veto and the independent counsel statute — have already disappeared or become insignificant.
” The Lincoln Project “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their oaths to the Constitution and would put others before Americans , ” according to its website .
Sadly , Cheney was never held to account for his constitutional violations , most notably engineering a war behind the back of Congress and the American people , a war predicated on lies and falsification .
His inclusion makes a mockery of the Lincoln Project ’ s supposed principles : Our many policy differences with national Democrats remain .
However , the priority for all patriotic Americans must be a shared fidelity to the Constitution @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who have abandoned their constitutional oaths , regardless of party .
Electing Democrats who support the Constitution over Republicans who do not is a worthy effort .
The “ shared fidelity to the Constitution ” does not apply to Cheney and his neocon coconspirators .
It is interesting anti-Trump Republicans decided to use Abraham Lincoln as a mascot .
He was a serial violator of the Constitution .
“ Lincoln took it upon himself to arbitrarily redefine treason , not by amending the Constitution , but by using brute military force , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was any criticism of himself , his administration , and his policies .
He illegally suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus ( illegal according to this own attorney general , Robert Bates ) and had the military arrest and imprison without due process tens of thousands of Northern-state citizens , including newspaper editors , the Maryland legislature , the mayor of Baltimore , the grandson of Francis Scott Key who was a Baltimore newspaper editor , Congressman Clement L. Vallandigham of Ohio , his chief critic in the U.S. Congress , and essentially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much for the First Amendment and habeas corpus .
The establishment deals in illusion and deception .
The real history of Lincoln — his racism , his connection to big business , railroad magnates , and vested interests of the day , his indifference to the suffering his war created — is buried under the Lincoln Myth , a fictional story of a brave man who emancipated and freed the slaves ( never mentioned : he wanted to deport former slaves ) .
President Abraham Lincoln led the United States through its bloodiest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our history .
He fought not because he wanted to , but because he knew the dual goals of preserving the Union and the end of slavery would be achieved only through armed conflict .
Left out of this lopsided patriotism is the right of the people to secede from a corrupt central government and exercise the right of self-determination , and the right of a people to establish their own government , as put forth in the Declaration of Independence .
Republicans and Democrats no longer believe in constitutional principles and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a democracy , not a constitutionally limited republic as originally envisioned .
In a democracy , the state propagandizes the people in order to gain consensus .
“ President Donald Trump and those who sign onto Trumpism are a clear and present danger to the Constitution and our Republic , ” the Lincoln Project argues .
“ Only defeating so polarizing a character as Trump will allow the country to heal its political and psychological wounds and allow for a new , better path forward for all Americans.
” Trump was elected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the corporate and bankster swamp creatures and return America to the rule of law .
He promised to end the illegal and immoral wars .
Trump said he would audit the Federal Reserve .
He did none of these things and , quite frankly , his inability to do anything but pump up his own grotesque and narcissistic ego was obvious during and well before the campaign .
77-year old Joe Biden is the perfect candidate for the establishment .
His encroaching dementia and ignorance of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children and women , are not a problem for the ruling elite .
Not even his threat to have the Obama administration pull a billion dollars in loan guarantees to Ukraine if it didn ’ t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin — at the time investigating Biden ’ s son , Hunter , for corrupt dealings while at the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings — will derail the Biden trajectory to the White House .
The primary objective is the removal of Donald Trump , a grossly incompetent and mentally deranged hotel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the presidency by Americans sick and tired of government corruption .
In doing so , both sides of the one-sided corporate establishment political class are pushing for an equally incompetent and flawed candidate to defeat Trump .
But this does not matter so long as Joe can still read a teleprompter .

How about we secure our elections , not from Russia , but from its historically favorite political party .
Paterson City Councilman Michael Jackson , Councilman-elect Alex Mendez , and two other men are alleged to have exploited the mail-in voting process in the May 12th Special election in Paterson , New Jersey .
The investigation was opened when U.S .
Postal Inspection Service found hundreds of mail-in ballots stuffed in a single mailbox in Paterson and a number of additional ballots in a mailbox in Haledon .
Jackson , who represents the City ’ s 1st Ward and is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is alleged to have solicited voters to hand over their ballots and is alleged to have turned in ballots without being the authorization bearer to do so .
His charges include election fraud , fraud in casting mail-in vote , unauthorized possession of ballots , false registration or transfer , tampering with public records , and falsifying or tampering with records .

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-28--The Socialists Plan To Manipulate Votes By Manipulating The Voters Through COVID-19 & Riots

The Nazi core Socialists believe they have the 2020 elections in the bag this November , now having the power to demand mail in voting because of COVID-19 .
The virus itself , created in a lab in Wuhan Province , China last year was the joint nuclear option used by George Soros and Barack Obama in making sure the anti-American Socialists retake control of the country .
Since the 2016 elections , everything they have tried has failed , from fake polls showing the Socialist candidate way ahead of such as them , showing Jeb Bush with a huge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the DHS to tamper with ballots across the country , to cheating on a state and local level , but the vast turnout of voters who support the USA overcame all of these criminal efforts .
Today , with the COVID-19 scare they can manipulate the votes by manipulating the voters in restricting our ability to vote via lockdowns during spikes in those testing positive for the disease , to actual numbers of people sick .
COVID-19 is the perfect application in rigging the election for the Socialists since they can create a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or keep it going longer than it normally would have .
Such is the case with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and California Governor Gavin Newsome in demanding COVID-19 patients be placed in nursing homes where those who are most susceptible to the disease are .
By doing this , they drastically bumped up the numbers of cases and the death rate while prolonging the shutdown .
Another example of manipulating the masses at any given point was the gradual return to normal in many states in easing COVID-19 restrictions which was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new cases , mainly due to improved testing .
Recently , however , we are seeing a dramatic increase in cases , in some instances seeing more infected people now than during the initial wave causing many states to slow their reopening or stop it altogether .
This dramatic increase is solely the result of the massive protests and riots across the country .
As it is now , most of us are infected both through direct and indirect contact from rioters .
The riots themselves are a result of the George Floyd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and carried out under Obama ’ s direction , just to create the climate necessary for him to orchestrate civil unrest in achieving two goals .
The first is the rapid destruction of American monuments to erase history , heritage , and culture for the implementation of the NWO Socialist agenda .
The second , is reviewing their ability to shut down the country whenever they damn well feel like it by purposely manipulating a drastic increase in infections .
COVID-19 is also a weapon being used to influence our minds by keeping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through social gatherings , sporting events , vacations , and in many cases , the ability to make a living via losing your job or not being allowed to open your business .

The Nazi core Socialists believe they have the 2020 elections in the bag this November, now having the power to demand mail in voting because of COVID-19. The virus itself, created in a lab in Wuhan Province, China last year was the joint nuclear option used by George Soros and Barack Obama in making sure the anti-American Socialists retake control of the country.
Since the 2016 elections, everything they have tried has failed, from fake polls showing the Socialist candidate way ahead of such as them, showing Jeb Bush with a huge lead over Donald Trump, Obama ordering the DHS to tamper with ballots across the country, to cheating on a state and local level, but the vast turnout of voters who support the USA overcame all of these criminal efforts.

Today, with the COVID-19 scare they can manipulate the votes by manipulating the voters in restricting our ability to vote via lockdowns during spikes in those testing positive for the disease, to actual numbers of people sick.
COVID-19 is the perfect application in rigging the election for the Socialists since they can create a spike in infections at any given time, or keep it going longer than it normally would have. Such is the case with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and California Governor Gavin Newsome in demanding COVID-19 patients be placed in nursing homes where those who are most susceptible to the disease are. By doing this, they drastically bumped up the numbers of cases and the death rate while prolonging the shutdown.
Another example of manipulating the masses at any given point was the gradual return to normal in many states in easing COVID-19 restrictions which was going well with only slight increases in new cases, mainly due to improved testing. Recently, however, we are seeing a dramatic increase in cases, in some instances seeing more infected people now than during the initial wave causing many states to slow their reopening or stop it altogether. This dramatic increase is solely the result of the massive protests and riots across the country. As it is now, most of us are infected both through direct and indirect contact from rioters.
The riots themselves are a result of the George Floyd incident in Minneapolis which was set up and carried out under Obama’s direction, just to create the climate necessary for him to orchestrate civil unrest in achieving two goals. The first is the rapid destruction of American monuments to erase history, heritage, and culture for the implementation of the NWO Socialist agenda. The second, is reviewing their ability to shut down the country whenever they damn well feel like it by purposely manipulating a drastic increase in infections.
COVID-19 is also a weapon being used to influence our minds by keeping us isolated and unable to release stress through social gatherings, sporting events, vacations, and in many cases, the ability to make a living via losing your job or not being allowed to open your business. There is also the fear factor being played as well, where we must be afraid of catching the virus, fearing financial doom, an overall lack of self-worth, and removing any sense of direction we may have through banning social activities and religious services. The shutdowns and resulting restrictions today are a complete duplication of Nazi German propaganda and the process used during that time in history.
The objective now is to hoodwink the general elections in November by demanding mail in voting only, due to the pandemic. This would open the door for voter fraud, manipulation, and cheating on a scale, we haven’t ever seen before in a country that already has one of the most corrupt voting processes anywhere in the world.
We do not have to wait for the Second American Revolution, it’s going on now and has been since the Obama Dictatorship left office and it is only going to get worse.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-29--The Media is Lying About the ‘Second Wave’

For months , the Washington Post and the rest of the mainstream media kept a morbid Covid-19 “ death count ” on their front pages and at the top of their news broadcasts .
The coronavirus outbreak was all about the number of dead .
The narrative was intended to boost governors like Cuomo in New York and Whitmer in Michigan , who turned their states authoritarian under the false notion that destroying people ’ s jobs , freedom , and lives would somehow keep a virus from doing what viruses always do : spread through a population until eventually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ death count ” was always the headline .
But then all of a sudden early in June the mainstream media did a George Orwell and lectured us that it is all about “ cases ” and has always been all about “ cases.
” Death , and especially infection fatality rate , were irrelevant .
Why ?
Because from the peak in April , deaths had decreased by 90 percent and were continuing to crash .
That was not terrifying enough so the media pretended this good news did not exist .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ case ” numbers climbed .
This is not rocket science : the more people you test the more “ cases ” you discover .
Unfortunately , our mainstream media is only interested in pushing the “ party line.

They are putting Americans again through the nightmare of forced business closures , mandated face masks , and restrictions of Constitutional liberties based on false propaganda .
In Texas the “ second wave ” propaganda has gotten so bad that the leaders of the four major hospitals in Houston took the extraordinary step late last week of holding a joint press conference to clarify that the scare stories of Houston hospitals being overwhelmed with Covid cases are simply untrue .
Dr. Marc Boom of Houston Methodist said the reporting on hospital capacity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quite frankly , we ’ re concerned that there is a level of alarm in the community that is unwarranted right now.

If it ’ s a positive , well that counts as a “ Covid hospitalization.
” Why would hospitals be so dishonest in their diagnoses ?
Billions of appropriated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ based on the number of “ Covid cases ” they can produce .
As I ’ ve always said , if you subsidize something you get more of it .
And that ’ s why we are getting more Covid cases .

Democrats Pass Resolution To Rename John Wayne Airport, Say He Was ‘Racist, Bigoted’
By Joseph Curl, Daily Wire, Jun 28th, 2020:
SANTA ANA, CA – California Democrats in Orange County have passed a resolution demanding that the county’s John Wayne Airport be renamed. But there’s more: They want likenesses of Wayne — photos, statues, everything — removed from the airport, which was named in his honor in 1979, shortly after the western actor died.
“The Democratic Party of Orange County condemns John Wayne ’s racist and bigoted statements, and calls for John Waynes’ [sic] name and likeness to be removed from the Orange County airport, and calls on the OC Board of Supervisors to restore its original name: Orange County Airport,” says the resolution, passed Friday.
The board cited remarks Wayne made in a 1971 interview with Playboy.
“I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people,” he said in the interview 49 years ago. “I don’t feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves,” he said at another point.
The demand comes as liberals across the country are pushing to tear down monuments and rename buildings and institutions that they deem to be racist.
The Democrats’ resolution applauds a “national movement to remove white supremacist symbols and names [that is] reshaping American institutions, monuments, businesses, nonprofits, sports leagues, and teams, as it is widely recognized that racist symbols produce lasting physical and psychological stress and trauma particularly to Black communities, people of color and other oppressed groups, and the removal of racist symbols provides a necessary process for communities to remember historic acts of violence and recognize victims of oppression.”
Ada Briceño, chairman of the Democratic Party of Orange County, told The Los Angeles Times that the resolution is not the first attempt to rename the airport, but, she added, said the time has come.
“There have been past efforts to get this done and now we’re putting our name and our backing into this to make sure there is a name change,” Briceño told The Times.
Said The Times: “Democrats point to a Chapman University survey released earlier this year that said 79% of county residents polled believe ‘that O.C.’s increasing ethnic diversity is a source of great strength for the region.’”
Wayne, who starred in dozens of movies, including “Stagecoach ” in 1939 and “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance ” in 1962, also addressed Native Americans in his Playboy interview.
“I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. … [O]ur so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival,” he said. “There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.”
“He also considered movies such as ‘Easy Rider ’ and ‘Midnight Cowboy ’ perverted, and used a gay slur to refer to the two main characters of the latter film,” The Times said.
