Trump’s Unholy War

Just as many of us have been warning , Donald Trump is joining his fellow PNAC puppets G.W .
Bush and Barack Obama in taking the United States into yet another quagmire of a Middle Eastern war for the benefit of the military industrial complex—and Israel , of course .
Here is General Wesley Clark exposing the U.S. ( PNAC ) plan to topple the governments in seven Middle Eastern and North African countries back in 2007 .
I expressed my deep concern that Trump would do exactly what he ’ s now doing from the time he was elected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about ending America ’ s endless wars in the Middle East was just so much hot air .
I ’ ve said that from the beginning .
Now , here we are : ramping up another stupid , unjustified and totally unnecessary war predicated upon nothing but lies , deception and joint U.S./Israeli provocations .
What has been made abundantly clear .
.
.
is that those who have bought into the Trump administration ’ s completely unsubstantiated claims about Soleimani are sincerely unaware that they have unquestioningly bought into unsubstantiated US government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ information from tightly insulated echo chambers , and if you inhabit an echo chamber that supports the current president all you ’ ll get is a bunch of officials , pundits and reporters saying in a confident-sounding tone of voice that Soleimani needed to be taken out .
Since they ’ re surrounded by chatter affirming that Soleimani had attacked America and/or posed an imminent threat in the near future , they assume that chatter must be based on some actual facts in evidence .
It is not .
When I speak out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ war on Iran and interact one-on-one with those who object to what I ’ m saying , the disparity between what they think they know and what they actually know gets very quickly highlighted .
Simply by my challenging people to prove the claims that they are making about Soleimani planning to attack Americans , attacking a US embassy , directing a strike that allegedly killed a mysteriously unnamed US contractor in Iraq , killing hundreds of US soldiers in Iraq , that he ’ s a “ terrorist ” , etc , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no evidence for their claims beyond the unsubstantiated assertions of US government officials and people who unquestioningly repeated those assertions .
And from there I just ask them , “ How well has uncritically swallowing US government narratives about the need for military action worked out for you in the past ?
” Nobody wants to admit that they are doing such a thing , least of all a Trump supporter who ’ s poured plenty of mental energy into distancing this administration from the previous Republican occupant of the White House .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ are doing : uncritically swallowing baseless claims by US government officials about the need to advance a pre-existing military agenda , in a way that is indistinguishable from the cult-like behavior of Bush supporters in the lead-up to the Iraq invasion .
In reality , there ’ s no evidence for any of the reasons we ’ ve been offered for why Iran needed to be provoked into an almost inevitable retaliation that Trump is currently tweeting will result in all-out war : The claim that Soleimani posed an “ imminent threat ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be “ razor thin , ” and entirely debunked in this excellent essay by Craig Murray .
Mike Pence ’ s claim that Soleimani assisted 9/11 terrorists is so ridiculous that even the war-loving Washington Post dismissed it .
There ’ s no proof that Soleimani directed the strike that allegedly killed a US contractor , or that that contractor even existed .
There ’ s no proof that Soleimani was involved in any “ attack ” on any US embassy , leaving aside the obvious fact that a little graffiti on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if he did .
The “ hundreds of American deaths ” line you hear regurgitated by everyone from Trump to Elizabeth Warren actually refers to Iraqis defending themselves from an illegal US invasion with some training from Iran .
The claim that Iran was behind Iraqi bombs is without evidence and wouldn ’ t matter if it were true ; claiming the inhabitants of an invaded nation don ’ t have the right to defend themselves is absurd , regardless of where they got their weaponry .
The claim that Soleimani was “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the branch of the Iranian military he commanded was arbitrarily designated a terrorist organization by the US government last year , a designation that any foreign government could just as easily make for any branch of the US military .
He was actually a fearsome enemy of ISIS and al-Qaeda and played a massive role in halting the spread of ISIS .
We are being lied to , yet again , about yet another war on yet another geostrategically crucial Middle Eastern nation .
And a huge percentage of the population is marching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ retaliates for Soleimani ’ s assassination , these propagandized sheep will be herded by the political/media class into believing that the attack was completely unprovoked .
And if their credulity thus far is any indication , they ’ ll swallow the whole load without so much as a twinge of gag reflex .
President Trump and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told us the US had to assassinate Maj. Gen. Qassim Soleimani last week because he was planning “ Imminent attacks ” on US citizens .
I don ’ t believe them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the neocons – like Pompeo – have been lying about Iran for the past three years in an effort to whip up enough support for a US attack .
From the phony justification to get out of the Iran nuclear deal , to blaming Yemen on Iran , to blaming Iran for an attack on Saudi oil facilities , the US Administration has fed us a steady stream of lies for three years because they are obsessed with Iran .
And before Trump ’ s obsession with attacking Iran , the past four @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wars on Iraq , Afghanistan , Syria , Libya , Serbia , Somalia , and the list goes on .
At some point , when we ’ ve been lied to constantly and consistently for decades about a “ threat ” that we must “ take out ” with a military attack , there comes a time where we must assume they are lying until they provide rock solid , irrefutable proof .
Thus far they have provided nothing .
So I don ’ t believe them .
In his speech yesterday ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deceive the American people into believing that he was stepping away from a bigger war with Iran , Donald Trump couldn ’ t help but reiterate his plans to expand and increase economic sanctions against Iran , which Dr. Paul rightly notes in the video above are nothing more than an act of war .
Plus , as Trump was again lying to the American people , he was pouring thousands of U.S. troops and deploying six B-52 strategic bombers into the Middle East in preparation for war .
That is in addition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ amounts of military firepower that are already there .
Ralph Nader nailed it when he wrote : Both Trump and Netanyahu paint Iran as the most dangerous terrorist state in the world .
Really ?
It wasn ’ t the Iranian regime that illegally cost over one million Iraqi civilian lives and blew that country apart .
It was George W. Bush and Dick Cheney becoming major war criminals whose actions cost the lives of over 5,000 American soldiers , injured or made sick well over 100,000 more , and wasted trillions of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wants its sphere of influence .
The country has memories .
For example , in 1953 , the U.S. overthrew Iran ’ s democratically elected prime minister and reinstalled the dictatorial Shah who ruled despotically for the next 26 years .
In 2002 , George W. Bush targeted Iran , Iraq , and North Korea , referring to them as the “ axis of evil.
” Iran saw what he did to Iraq and didn ’ t want to take chances by surrendering its security perimeter .
The U.S. has Iran militarily surrounded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ southern borders .
Israel has working spies in Iran , creating secret sabotage and mayhem .
Israel , which has illegally bombed civil war-wracked Syria ( no threat to Israel ) dozens of times , has recently hit locations known to have Iranian advisors to Bashar Assad , Syria ’ s ruler , while fighting ISIS , along with U.S. forces there .
Iranians have been killed in these raids .
So who is the aggressor here ?
Unlike Israel ’ s many invasions and military incursions , Iran , a poor country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over 250 years .
Iraq ’ s dictator invaded Iran in 1980 , with U.S. backing , costing Iran an estimated 500,000 lives .
No country , save the U.S .
Empire , has the chutzpah that Netanyahu possesses because he knows the U.S. government and the mass media will embrace his expanding push for U.S. militarism in the Middle East .
Steven Ben-Nun of Israeli News Live is reporting that General Soleimani was actually in Iraq to meet with the Iraqi Prime Minister who had agreed to negotiate a peace between Iran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peace in the Middle East does NOT serve the expansionist goals of either the United States or Israel .
Think of it : If Soleimani was in Iraq for the purpose of organizing terror attacks against the United States , would he have flown into Baghdad on a commercial jet ?
You have to be absolutely brainless to believe such a fairy tale .
Make no mistake about it , folks : This is another war for Zionist Israel—and U.S. war profiteers , of course .
When Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi addressed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s justification for killing Soleimani was exposed as a cynical lie .
According to Abdul-Mahdi , he had planned to meet Soleimani on the morning the general was killed to discuss a diplomatic rapproachment that Iraq was brokering between Iran and Saudi Arabia .
Abdul-Mahdi said that Trump personally thanked him for the efforts , even as he was planning the hit on Soleimani – thus creating the impression that the Iranian general was safe to travel to Baghdad .
Soleimani had arrived in Baghdad not to plan attacks on American targets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arabia .
Indeed , he was killed while on an actual peace mission that could have created political distance between the Gulf monarchy and members of the US-led anti-Iran axis like Israel .
As Blumenthal reported , Donald Trump was the one who actually planned and set up the assassination of General Soleimani .
Trump is the first president to openly claim credit for the assassination of a foreign chief of state .
Historically , heads of state are assassinated by the CIA as black budget operations , giving a president plausible deniability @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case both admits responsibility for the strike and is actively taunting the Iranians with the death of their # 2 on social media .
What president in their right mind would get on a public platform and brag about assassinating a head of state like Trump has done this last week ?
It seems obvious , too , that Benjamin Netanyahu was also involved in the plan to murder Soleimani .
No one in the Middle East would benefit more from a joint U.S./Israeli war with Iran than Israel ’ s corrupt , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A war with Iran could literally be Bibi ’ s political salvation .
Beyond that , Iraq ’ s Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi has revealed Donald Trump ’ s threat to use Marine Corps snipers in false flag shootings of protesters and security personnel in order to inflame the situation , throw Iraq in chaos and force Abdul-Mahdi from office .
Trump called again to threaten that if I did not comply with his demands , then he would have Marine snipers on tall buildings target protesters and security personnel alike in order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s unholy war with Iran an attempt to make himself a “ wartime ” president the way G.W .
Bush did in 2003 for the purpose of helping him win re-election ?
Is it an attempt to distract the American people from Trump ’ s Senate impeachment trial ?
I ’ m sure both of those potentialities are part of this godless and grotesque gaslight .
Or is it an attempt to mask the showdown that is taking place in Virginia between a tyrannical State government that is attempting to confiscate the arms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liberty-loving people of that State who are vowing all-out resistance ?
Notice that this so-called pro-Second Amendment president has said absolutely NOTHING in support of the brave souls in Virginia who are fighting for all of our rights to keep and bear arms RIGHT NOW .
I ’ ll have more to say about this in a future column .
Would Donald Trump really risk the lives of Americans , another prolonged Middle Eastern war and maybe World War III for the sake of Netanyahu and his nest of Zionist vipers in Israel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one thing , Donald Trump is himself a hardcore Zionist cultist .
His first loyalty is NOT to the United States ; it is to Israel .
He brags about being Israel ’ s Prime Minister .
Mark Levin called him America ’ s “ first Jewish president.
” He issued an executive order giving all things Judaic official protected status , making it off limits for criticism and elevating it to America ’ s de facto state religion .
The other thing is , Donald Trump doubtless suffers from extreme narcissistic rage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He is utterly and completely devoid of conscience .
He has no feelings of personal consequences for his actions .
He is immune to emotions such as grief , remorse , sorrow and empathy .
Trump ’ s threat to attack and destroy Iran ’ s cultural ( religious , historical , sacred , etc . )
sites that have no military value whatsoever and that would intentionally take the lives of untold numbers of innocent civilians is a glaring indicator of his narcissistic and pathological rage .
For such a man to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world is a nightmare of ghoulish proportions .
Do not be fooled : War with Iran will be costly—and I mean for the United States .
It will make the U.S. war in Iraq look like a Boy Scout camping trip by comparison .
We ’ ve been waging war in Iraq and Afghanistan for almost twenty years—with no end in sight and nothing to show for it , except thousands of American deaths , trillions of American dollars wasted and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi and Afghani deaths .
And now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another Middle Eastern war .
For what ?
To enrich the military industrial complex and the politicians they bankroll ?
To enrich the oil companies ?
To save Benjamin Netanyahu ’ s job and keep him out of jail ?
To spoil the peace efforts between Iran and Saudi Arabia ?
To assist Israel ’ s Naziesque expansionism ?
To save Trump ’ s 2020 election ?
To distract the American people from Trump ’ s impeachment trial ?
To cover up the tyrannical effort to disarm the people of Virginia ?
For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ false flag attack that can be blamed on Iran to justify Trump ’ s bloodlust .
Are our memories really that dulled ?
America has absolutely NO BUSINESS being in the Middle East whatsoever .
WE are the aggressor .
WE are in violation of God ’ s Natural Law .
WE are in violation of International Law .
WE are the ones fomenting dissension and war in the region .
WE are the ones killing untold numbers of innocent people who have never harmed , never tried to harm or never even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Is this what all you folks voted for when you voted for Donald Trump ?
Will you now continue to praise and support him as he leads us into another unconstitutional war ?
Will you send your sons and daughters to fight Trump ’ s War—Trump ’ s unholy war ?
Will you continue to call him “ God ’ s man ” and “ the chosen one ” when you go to church ?
Will you say “ amen ” when the con man , thief , convicted felon and overall moral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pontificates , “ Trump is a test whether you ’ re even saved .
Only saved people can love Trump ” ?
What rubbish !
Trump is a test , alright , but NOT in the way Bakker thinks .
Trump-supporting Christian Zionists have come out in force defending the actions of the president and voicing their support for any and all war the U.S. and Israel directs us into .
You simply can not defend Trump at this point without looking compromised yourself .
He is a moral reprobate , liar , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a foreign head of state .
Christians Zionists are .
.
.
completely without discernment or principle and absent of any Christian charity and efforts toward peace .
Christians are under a blindness and delusion that can only be attributed to the judgment of God on this country .
They worship a wicked man and deserve every bit of the judgement of Heaven we will undoubtedly continue to receive .
Mr. Charles is absolutely right .
Christian Zionists are truly under a supernatural delusion—about Donald Trump and the Rothschild State of Israel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of divine judgment on America , look FIRST at the house of God .
( I Peter 4:17 ) If America ’ s Christians continue to follow the Pied Pipers of Christian Zionism in blind support of the murderous psychopaths Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu , I fear that the judgment of Heaven upon this country will be recorded as one of the greatest national catastrophes in the annals of human history .
P.S .
I strongly urge readers to order the phenomenal book by Christopher Bollyn entitled .
Behind the War on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in advance to redraw the map of the Middle East .
9/11 was a false-flag operation blamed on Muslims in order to start the military operations for that strategic plan .
Recognizing the origin of the plan is crucial to understanding the deception that has changed our world .
By going to war with Iran , Trump is proving that he is just another bought-and-paid-for neocon warmonger—a puppet for the CFR , Zionist Israel and the military industrial complex .
This is NOT a spontaneous event .
This is a cold , calculated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before 9/11/2001 .
Trump is “ the chosen one ” alright ; he has been chosen by the globalists to finish what G.W .
Bush started—not that it will EVER be finished .
But they intend to clear the way for the Zionists to realize their long-anticipated Greater Israel Project .

Iran wants its sphere of influence. The country has memories. For example, in 1953, the U.S. overthrew Iran’s democratically elected prime minister and reinstalled the dictatorial Shah who ruled despotically for the next 26 years. In 2002, George W. Bush targeted Iran, Iraq, and North Korea, referring to them as the “axis of evil.” Iran saw what he did to Iraq and didn’t want to take chances by surrendering its security perimeter.
The U.S. has Iran militarily surrounded on its eastern, western, and southern borders. Israel has working spies in Iran, creating secret sabotage and mayhem. Israel, which has illegally bombed civil war-wracked Syria (no threat to Israel) dozens of times, has recently hit locations known to have Iranian advisors to Bashar Assad, Syria’s ruler, while fighting ISIS, along with U.S. forces there.

Soleimani had arrived in Baghdad not to plan attacks on American targets, but to coordinate de-escalation with Saudi Arabia. Indeed, he was killed while on an actual peace mission that could have created political distance between the Gulf monarchy and members of the US-led anti-Iran axis like Israel.
As Blumenthal reported, Donald Trump was the one who actually planned and set up the assassination of General Soleimani.
Jason Charles confirms:

No one in the Middle East would benefit more from a joint U.S./Israeli war with Iran than Israel’s corrupt, criminal Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. A war with Iran could literally be Bibi’s political salvation.
Beyond that, Iraq’s Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi has revealed Donald Trump’s threat to use Marine Corps snipers in false flag shootings of protesters and security personnel in order to inflame the situation, throw Iraq in chaos and force Abdul-Mahdi from office.
Abdul-Mahdi testified that:
Trump called again to threaten that if I did not comply with his demands, then he would have Marine snipers on tall buildings target protesters and security personnel alike in order to pressure me.
Is Trump’s unholy war with Iran an attempt to make himself a “wartime” president the way G.W. Bush did in 2003 for the purpose of helping him win re-election? Is it an attempt to distract the American people from Trump’s Senate impeachment trial? I’m sure both of those potentialities are part of this godless and grotesque gaslight.

For one thing, Donald Trump is himself a hardcore Zionist cultist. His first loyalty is NOT to the United States; it is to Israel. He brags about being Israel’s Prime Minister. Mark Levin called him America’s “first Jewish president.” He issued an executive order giving all things Judaic official protected status, making it off limits for criticism and elevating it to America’s de facto state religion.
The other thing is, Donald Trump doubtless suffers from extreme narcissistic rage. He has no moral filter. He is utterly and completely devoid of conscience. He has no feelings of personal consequences for his actions. He is immune to emotions such as grief, remorse, sorrow and empathy. Trump’s threat to attack and destroy Iran’s cultural (religious, historical, sacred, etc.) sites that have no military value whatsoever and that would intentionally take the lives of untold numbers of innocent civilians is a glaring indicator of his narcissistic and pathological rage.
For such a man to control the mightiest military force in the world is a nightmare of ghoulish proportions.
Do not be fooled: War with Iran will be costly—and I mean for the United States. It will make the U.S. war in Iraq look like a Boy Scout camping trip by comparison.
We’ve been waging war in Iraq and Afghanistan for almost twenty years—with no end in sight and nothing to show for it, except thousands of American deaths, trillions of American dollars wasted and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi and Afghani deaths.
And now Donald Trump is leading America into yet another Middle Eastern war. For what? To enrich the military industrial complex and the politicians they bankroll? To enrich the oil companies? To save Benjamin Netanyahu’s job and keep him out of jail? To spoil the peace efforts between Iran and Saudi Arabia? To assist Israel’s Naziesque expansionism? To save Trump’s 2020 election? To distract the American people from Trump’s impeachment trial? To cover up the tyrannical effort to disarm the people of Virginia? For what?
We can soon expect a false flag attack that can be blamed on Iran to justify Trump’s bloodlust. Are our memories really that dulled?
America has absolutely NO BUSINESS being in the Middle East whatsoever. WE are the aggressor. WE are in violation of God’s Natural Law. WE are in violation of International Law.

You simply cannot defend Trump at this point without looking compromised yourself. He is a moral reprobate, liar, and the active party in the murder of a foreign head of state.
Christians Zionists are . . . completely without discernment or principle and absent of any Christian charity and efforts toward peace. Christians are under a blindness and delusion that can only be attributed to the judgment of God on this country. They worship a wicked man and deserve every bit of the judgement of Heaven we will undoubtedly continue to receive.
Mr. Charles is absolutely right. Christian Zionists are truly under a supernatural delusion—about Donald Trump and the Rothschild State of Israel.
When you look at the cause of divine judgment on America, look FIRST at the house of God. (I Peter 4:17)
If America’s Christians continue to follow the Pied Pipers of Christian Zionism in blind support of the murderous psychopaths Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, I fear that the judgment of Heaven upon this country will be recorded as one of the greatest national catastrophes in the annals of human history.
P.S. I strongly urge readers to order the phenomenal book by Christopher Bollyn entitled The War On Terror .
From the book’s back cover:
Behind the War on Terror is a strategic plan crafted decades in advance to redraw the map of the Middle East. 9/11 was a false-flag operation blamed on Muslims in order to start the military operations for that strategic plan. Recognizing the origin of the plan is crucial to understanding the deception that has changed our world.
By going to war with Iran, Trump is proving that he is just another bought-and-paid-for neocon warmonger—a puppet for the CFR, Zionist Israel and the military industrial complex. This is NOT a spontaneous event. This is a cold, calculated strategy that has been taking place since before 9/11/2001. Trump is “the chosen one” alright; he has been chosen by the globalists to finish what G.W. Bush started—not that it will EVER be finished. But they intend to clear the way for the Zionists to realize their long-anticipated Greater Israel Project.

“ Based on everything he ’ s said and done , including bragging about what he was drawing in his cell , he obviously doesn ’ t think child sexually abusive material is wrong , ’ ’ Denenfeld said .

However, police claim that there are actually 8 real children that were identified in the pornography on Gobrick’s computer.
Kent County Assistant Prosecutor Daniel Helmer called Gobrick “a danger to the public.’’
“Even during the trial, the defendant continued to draw, talking about raping babies in the Kent County Jail and making other statements about how this is his constitutional right to continue to do so,” Helmer said.
“Based on everything he’s said and done, including bragging about what he was drawing in his cell, he obviously doesn’t think child sexually abusive material is wrong,’’ Denenfeld said. “This isn’t just virtual stuff; this is also real people being harmed.’’
ABC13 reports:
The case was bizarre, to be sure. At a bench trial, Gobrick fired his court-appointed attorney and opted to represent himself.
He argued the images found on his computer were created using an image manipulating program. He also said the images were protected under the First Amendment.
Denenfeld found him guilty on three counts of child sexually abusive commercial activity and using a computer to commit a crime.
Gobrick continued to maintain his innocence at sentencing and challenged the legality of his prosecution.
“Under the law, Auschwitz was legal,’’ Gobrick said, in an apparent reference to the Nazi concentration camp in southern Poland. “What you’re doing here is wrong, just as Auschwitz was.’’
To be sure, Gobrick clearly has a criminal mindset and has severed his conscience to the point of saying the desire to rape children is somehow “right.”
He gained his conviction in New York in 2001 as a sex offender, but claims he is not attracted to children. I guess he must just hate children, which is what his criminal behavior suggests.
“I would no sooner have sex with a child than you would with a rattlesnake,’’ he told the judge. “It’s just not safe.’’
He was arrested in 2018 when a minor was discovered in his home in Michigan after she was listed as endangered and missing.
During that arrest is when the child porn was discovered on his computer during the investigation.
I’ve got a suggestion for Michigan: Jesus said people like this should take a millstone and tie it around their necks and cast themselves into the sea rather than offend a little one so, instead of forcing the people of Michigan to keep this degenerate up for the next 10-20 years, why not take him to one of the Great Lakes, give him some rope and a millstone and give the order and be done with it?
Oh, that would be too cruel, Tim. Really? And it’s not cruel to force innocent people, including those who were harmed in that pornography to pay for his upkeep for the next one to two decades?
America needs to stop showing more mercy to criminals than their victims.
This guy could be the first example if people really demanded justice.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-13--California Legislature Turning Their Eyes Toward Banning Gas-Powered Lawn Equipment Due To Climate C

California Legislature Turning Their Eyes Toward Banning Gas-Powered Lawn Equipment Due To Climate Change

As previously indicated , there are only two types of people in the united States of America – constitutionalists and anti-constitutionalists .
You either support the Constitution or you don ’ t .
There is no picking and choosing , like a Chinese buffet .
Any interpretation outside of the framers ’ intent is wrong and leads to usurpation by government .
With that said , any individual proclaiming to be a constitutionalist can not support a ban of any kind because the government is not authorized by the Constitution to ban anything – that goes for government at all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it has been reported that the State of California , with its firearm restrictions , Red Flag laws , and confiscation schemes against the citizenry , has now decided to “ ban ” gas powered lawn and garden equipment and tools .
Yes , you read that right .
Because 60 California cities having some type of ban on gas-powered lawn equipment , the State is considering making these types of bans statewide .
If you have any gas-powered gardening tools , you may be forced to give them up soon .
California @ @ @ @ @ @ @ equipment .
At least 60 cities in California have some kind of ban on gas-powered garden tools , but now state regulators are concerned about the impacts these tools could be having on the environment .
According to the California Air Resources Board , running a gas-powered lawnmower for an hour will produce the same amount of air pollution as a Toyota Camry driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas .
There are millions more small off-road engines ( i.e .
: gas-powered lawnmowers and leaf blowers ) in California than there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ board ’ s estimates .
The board has set a goal of reducing smog from these machines by 80 percent by 2031 .
If it wasn ’ t true , this would be laughable .
Okay ; it ’ s still laughable .
As many writers in alternative media have warned , when government can implement gun confiscation , it can implement any other tyrannical , despotic “ legislation ” because the people would have no force behind their noncompliance .
And , in order to enforce this ban , government plans to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ sin ” penalties to enforce its tyranny .
Moreover , when citizens allow government to institute bans on “ things ” they don ’ t like , it will logically follow that government will eventually ban “ things ” they do .
Remember , all of this is being done based on the hoax of anthropogenic “ climate change ” .
This is absolutely industry killing .
From sales and manufacturing of this equipment to commercial/residential lawn services , there isn ’ t one Californian who will not be impacted .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cities have moved to implement some type of ban on gas-powered lawn equipment .
Why would anyone in those cities , whoever they are , support such a ludicrous ordinance/law ?
Wonder if the law applies to the city when caring for parks ?
As someone who has been the “ yard man ” for my parents for years , and now just my mother , gas powered lawn and yard equipment is a must have for the size of the property .
Moreover , as someone who has difficulty using a gas-powered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in pruning and clearing large fallen limbs with an electric powered chainsaw because of a noticeable power difference and having cords long enough to power the electric model .
And , in case someone didn ’ t tell the California State government , those electric powered lawn equipment and devices still have to be powered by the electric power grid – through direct power using a cord or charging batteries , usually operated using fossil fuels .
Jared Harris at Western Journalism had an interesting take on this potential ban .
Seemingly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to use hand tools .
In the mind of California politicians , this is worth it to save the world from climate disaster .
According to the California Air Resources Board , a commercial leaf blower running for an hour “ emits smog-forming pollution comparable to driving a 2017 Toyota Camry about 1100 miles , or approximately the distance from Los Angeles to Denver.
” Lawnmowers are apparently slightly better for the environment , with an hour of use emitting only what a Camry would in a 300-mile drive .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ machines using similar small engines , like smaller go-karts and generators , or simply be limited to garden gear .
Imagine all those Hollyweirdo privileged elite having less than pristinely manicured lawns because of this ban .
But , don ’ t worry .
The California assembly will just import more illegal alien invaders to use “ lawn scissors ” for the entitled , self-aggrandizing privileged Hollyweirdo elite .
As Harris pointed out , the proposed ban does not address similar small engines , like generators , needed to power limited household appliances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experienced this year due to wildfire prevention – that ’ s a topic for an entire article , so it will be left hanging at this point .
Even the large generators installed for entire home use in case of a power outage still runs on fossil fuel – natural gas , if not mistaken .
According to one individual who commented on the story , this was tried by California in the 70s , but did not succeed .
Another individual claimed , “ I will never give up my lawnmower willingly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pry my cold , dead hands from the handlebars of my zero-turn mower !
” Still another individual posting a comment stated , “ I ’ m in agreement .
I ’ ve got several acres to mow and I ain ’ t about to do it with no hand mower .
Can ’ t string that much extension cords and can ’ t see no sense in doing it in the first place.
” One individual suggested setting a “ pre-condition that the Governor first has to do his own lawn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ type of draconian law .
Another commenter hit the nail on the head with his/her comment .
“ IF they could ever enforce this law , then they ’ d go after the people who aren ’ t mowing their lawns any more ….. a win/win for crooked collection of crooked fines if I ever heard one !
!
!
” While the comments by these individuals echo the sentiment that government is acting in a tyrannical manner against citizens , the anti-constitutionalist control of California has been emboldened by citizens failing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the simplest of items .
Let me explain .
The State of California decided to ban restaurants from providing one-time use plastic straws unless the customer asked for the item .
The city of Los Angeles followed with an ordinance that banned the use of one-time use plastic straws .
True to form , a “ cottage industry ” of “ upscale straws ” with elegant carrying cases , “ along with necessities ” of cleaning brushes , “ straw squeegees and dental-friendly silicone tips ” popped up .
Wonder how many of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this new “ cottage industry ” ?
Waitresses , waiters , and restaurant owners became fearful of “ the straw police ” .
The ban seemed innocent enough ; however , Representative Devin Nunes ( R-Tulare ) expressed his “ frustration ” when encountering the ban upon dining out .
In March , Rep. Devin Nunes ( R-Tulare ) expressed outrage on his Twitter account over his own experience of eating out .
“ At restaurant tonight waitress asks if we want straw , ” Nunes tweeted .
“ Says she has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ THE STRAW POLICE ” .
Welcome to Socialism in California !
” ( The tweet generated 36,000 comments , many of them in support of reducing waste . )
How many Californians supported this “ plastic straw ” ban but will now balk at surrendering their gas-powered lawn equipment and devices ?
Any ban by government is unconstitutional and infringes upon an individual ’ s right to choose .
Moreover , these bans are being implemented based on a hoax – anthropogenic climate change .
Simply put , any citizen who supports government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government will eventually ban something that effects that citizen .
Unfortunately , many citizens are too busy wanting to butt into everyone else ’ s business that they are willing to throw the Constitution out with the baby when discarding the bath water .
Guns , plastic straws , and now gas-powered lawn equipment and devices .
Don ’ t think it will stop there either .
Californians have proven to the tyrannical despotic California legislature they are willing to acquiesce to their derangement by buying into their snake-oil hoaxes , which will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before the deranged California legislature gets around to gas-powered tractors and tillers used in farming ?
California moved to regulate the dairy industry to reduce methane produced by cows .
It ’ s true ; look it up .
And , an entire study was done on it .
One can not claim faith in God and Jesus Christ and support for the Constitution , then support any type of ban by government .
So , Californians , what ’ s next ?
What are you willing to impose upon yourself and others @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when you support a ban on anything , it is likely a ban on something you like , use or support will eventually come under fire by government , making you a hypocrite when supporting bans on some things but not others .

Any ban by government is unconstitutional and infringes upon an individual’s right to choose. Moreover, these bans are being implemented based on a hoax – anthropogenic climate change.
Simply put, any citizen who supports government banning anything will soon find out that government will eventually ban something that effects that citizen. Unfortunately, many citizens are too busy wanting to butt into everyone else’s business that they are willing to throw the Constitution out with the baby when discarding the bath water.
Guns, plastic straws, and now gas-powered lawn equipment and devices. Don’t think it will stop there either. Californians have proven to the tyrannical despotic California legislature they are willing to acquiesce to their derangement by buying into their snake-oil hoaxes, which will lead to other bans. How long before the deranged California legislature gets around to gas-powered tractors and tillers used in farming? California moved to regulate the dairy industry to reduce methane produced by cows. It’s true; look it up. And, an entire study was done on it.
One cannot claim faith in God and Jesus Christ and support for the Constitution, then support any type of ban by government. So, Californians, what’s next? What are you willing to impose upon yourself and others in support of a hoax? Remember, when you support a ban on anything, it is likely a ban on something you like, use or support will eventually come under fire by government, making you a hypocrite when supporting bans on some things but not others.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-13--US to Iraq: ‘Vote All You Want, We’re Not Leaving!’

US to Iraq : ‘ Vote All You Want , We ’ re Not Leaving !
’ President Trump ’ s decision earlier this month to assassinate Iran ’ s top military general on Iraqi soil – over the objection of the Iraqi government – has damaged the US relationship with its “ ally ” Iraq and set the region on the brink of war .
Iran ’ s measured response – a few missiles fired on an Iraqi base after advance warning was given – is the only reason the US is not mired in another Middle East war @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gen. Qassim Soleimani was intended to prevent a war , not start a war .
But no one in his right mind would think that killing another country ’ s top military leader would not leave that country annoyed , to say the least .
Senators Mike Lee ( R-UT ) and Rand Paul ( R-KY ) said the Trump Administration ’ s briefing to Congress on its evidence to back up claims that Soleimani was about to launch attacks against the US was among the worst briefings they ’ d ever attended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be taken out immediately because of “ imminent ” attacks he was launching against the US , Trump Administration officials including Secretary of State Pompeo and Defense Secretary Esper have been busy walking back those claims .
Esper claimed over the weekend that he had not seen the intelligence suggesting an attack on US embassies was in the works .
If the Secretary of Defense did not see the intelligence , then who did ?
No doubt , the Iraqi leadership recognized these kinds of deceptions : the same kinds of lies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attacking their own country in 2003 .
So , it should not have come as a big surprise that the Iraqi government met last week and voted that all foreign military personnel should leave Iraqi soil .
Then a funny thing happened when the Iraqi prime minister attempted to communicate to the US government the will of the Iraqi people through their democratically-elected officials .
On Thursday , Iraqi Prime Minister Mahdi phoned Pompeo to urgently request that Washington enact a US troop “ withdrawal mechanism ” in Iraq .
American troops are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government and the Iraqi government had just voted to revoke that invitation .
The State Department responded with a statement titled “ The US Continued Partnership with Iraq , ” in which it essentially said that the US would not abide by the request of its Iraqi partners because the US military is a “ force for good ” in the Middle East and that as such it is “ our right ” to maintain “ appropriate force posture ” in the region .
The US invaded Iraq based on Bush Administration lies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ result .
Later , President Obama ramped up the drone program and also backed al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists to overthrow the secular Syrian government .
Obama also attacked Libya based on lies , leaving the country totally destroyed .
Trump is assassinating foreign officials and threatening destruction of Iran .
And the State Department calls that a “ force for good ” ?
The United States can be a true force for good , however .
End the military occupation of the Middle East , end foreign military aid , stop using the CIA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ travel and do business in any country they wish .

US to Iraq: ‘Vote All You Want, We’re Not Leaving!’
President Trump’s decision earlier this month to assassinate Iran’s top military general on Iraqi soil – over the objection of the Iraqi government – has damaged the US relationship with its “ally” Iraq and set the region on the brink of war. Iran’s measured response – a few missiles fired on an Iraqi base after advance warning was given – is the only reason the US is not mired in another Middle East war.
Trump said his decision to assassinate Gen. Qassim Soleimani was intended to prevent a war, not start a war.
But no one in his right mind would think that killing another country’s top military leader would not leave that country annoyed, to say the least.
Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rand Paul (R-KY) said the Trump Administration’s briefing to Congress on its evidence to back up claims that Soleimani was about to launch attacks against the US was among the worst briefings they’d ever attended.
After initially claiming that Soleimani had to be taken out immediately because of “imminent” attacks he was launching against the US, Trump Administration officials including Secretary of State Pompeo and Defense Secretary Esper have been busy walking back those claims.
Esper claimed over the weekend that he had not seen the intelligence suggesting an attack on US embassies was in the works. If the Secretary of Defense did not see the intelligence, then who did?
No doubt, the Iraqi leadership recognized these kinds of deceptions: the same kinds of lies were used to push the US into attacking their own country in 2003.
So, it should not have come as a big surprise that the Iraqi government met last week and voted that all foreign military personnel should leave Iraqi soil.
Then a funny thing happened when the Iraqi prime minister attempted to communicate to the US government the will of the Iraqi people through their democratically-elected officials.
On Thursday, Iraqi Prime Minister Mahdi phoned Pompeo to urgently request that Washington enact a US troop “withdrawal mechanism” in Iraq.
American troops are in Iraq by invitation of the Iraqi government and the Iraqi government had just voted to revoke that invitation.
The State Department responded with a statement titled “The US Continued Partnership with Iraq,” in which it essentially said that the US would not abide by the request of its Iraqi partners because the US military is a “force for good” in the Middle East and that as such it is “our right” to maintain “appropriate force posture” in the region.
The US invaded Iraq based on Bush Administration lies and a million Iraqis died as a result.
Later, President Obama ramped up the drone program and also backed al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists to overthrow the secular Syrian government.
Obama also attacked Libya based on lies, leaving the country totally destroyed.
Trump is assassinating foreign officials and threatening destruction of Iran.
And the State Department calls that a “force for good”?
The United States can be a true force for good, however.
End the military occupation of the Middle East, end foreign military aid, stop using the CIA to overthrow governments.
Allow Americans to travel and do business in any country they wish.
Lead by example and demonstrate how free markets and peace benefit all.
A “force for good” means not forcing others to bow to your will.

I have previously interviewed a woman who was formerly coerced into not only prostitution , but the porn industry as well .
Fortunately for her , unlike so many women who get pulled into the porn industry , she was able to leave it behind and begin a new life .
This is what makes this latest story such a huge one that virtually no one is talking about .
As a civil suit against pornographers rendered a judgment of $ 13 million to women coerced into pornography , several pornographers are now facing life in prison .

” They repeatedly promised that the videos would be available only on DVDs purchased by private collectors overseas and that the identities of the women — all between the ages of 18 and 22 , most of them cash-strapped college students — would not be revealed .

The women were doxed and harassed relentlessly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parents , siblings , boyfriends , coaches and pastors .

I have previously interviewed a woman who was formerly coerced into not only prostitution, but the porn industry as well. Fortunately for her, unlike so many women who get pulled into the porn industry, she was able to leave it behind and begin a new life. This is what makes this latest story such a huge one that virtually no one is talking about. As a civil suit against pornographers rendered a judgment of $13 million to women coerced into pornography, several pornographers are now facing life in prison.
According to The Washington Post:
A California judge has tentatively ordered a pornography company to pay $13 million to 22 young women, finding that they were tricked into performing in videos that threw their lives off course and led several to attempt suicide.
The ruling Thursday followed a years-long legal battle waged by the women against the owners of GirlsDoPorn, a San Diego-based business that has made millions of dollars producing pornography it distributes through a subscription website and other online adult-video providers. The company is also the subject of a separate criminal case in which its owners and employees face federal sex-trafficking charges.
Key to the GirlsDoPorn business model, San Diego Superior Court Judge Kevin A. Enright noted in the civil case, is the construct that the women in the videos “are not professional porn stars but are amateur college-aged women filming pornography for the first and only time.”
WaPo adds:
The 99-day trial revealed the “calculated steps” the company’s operators took to persuade those women after recruiting them for “modeling” jobs on Craigslist, including concealing the true nature of the business, deploying bait-and-switch tactics and offering what the judge said was “little choice in completing the shoot.” They repeatedly promised that the videos would be available only on DVDs purchased by private collectors overseas and that the identities of the women — all between the ages of 18 and 22, most of them cash-strapped college students — would not be revealed.

The Activist Mommy adds:

They are named as defendants in the suit, alongside porn actor Ruben Andre Garcia. Their attorneys, Daniel Kaplan and Aaron Sadock, told The Post that they are “weighing our client’s options, which include filing objections to the court’s tentative statement of decision and an appeal if the decision becomes final.”
In court, the defense argued that the women knew what they were getting into and signed consent forms prior to filming. The judge quickly rejected the claim, pointing out that testimony showed the women were fed alcohol and drugs before completing vaguely written contracts which they were given insufficient time to read.
“Defendants’ argument ignores the obvious implicit power dynamic invariably present in the room: The women are alone in a hotel room with two men they barely know who, although friendly at first, become aggressive and agitated if the women express hesitation or a desire to leave,” the judge continued. “Several Plaintiffs testified that they had second thoughts prior to or during the shoot but felt they were not in a position to try to leave.”
Wolfe and Garcia were arrested back in October in connection with the criminal case against them. Pratt is a fugitive who is believed to have fled the country.
As part of his ruling, Enright ordered GirlsDoPorn to remove the women’s images and videos from every website it owns, each of which is still in operation despite the civil and criminal cases. Chapin said the women were especially thankful for that part of the decision.
“They’ve got to wipe that slate clean,” he said. “That’s the first thing that was so important to these women.”
According to the Daily Mail, at least 100 more women came forward with similar stories against the pornographers.
While this is clearly a huge victory for women who were clearly the victims of sick, immoral men, this is just a drop in the bucket of the evils of the porn industry.

Yes, you read that right. For possessing or using a cellphone, a year in jail and $1,000 bucks to the almighty beast in Vermont.
“The Internet and social media, accessed primarily through cell phones, are used to radicalize and recruit terrorists, fascists, and other extremists. Cell phones have often been used by mass shooters of younger ages for research on previous shootings,” the bill reads.
“Young people frequently use cell phones to bully and threaten other young people, activities that have been linked to many suicides,” the bill states. “In light of the dangerous and life-threatening consequences of cell phone use by young people, it is clear that persons under 21 years of age are not developmentally mature enough to safely possess them.”

The bill, S.212, would make such possession or use a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of a year behind bars and a $1,000 fine.
It said cellphone use while driving is one of the leading killers of teenagers. It also said young people use cellphones frequently to bully and threaten each other, something that has been linked to suicides.

She said in an interview Wednesday there’s no question technology plays a role with children treating each other badly, but isolating cellphones doesn’t seem to make sense because they will still be able to use computers.
