RUSSIA 3.0 – Putin Makes Fool of Garland, Another Election Interference

by admin | Sep 5, 2024 | Uncategorized

Can’t make it up. One day after AG Merritt Garland tells us  that the Russians are back again interfering with our election- of course assuming that they’re helping Trump- Russian leader Putin comes out and endorses Kamala! I love it . haha Merritt Garland you fool . Good job Putin!

You probably won’t see this on the mainstream media but if Putin endorsed Trump instead-as Garland would have loved-  you’d see wall to wall coverage in the mainstream media

Is the DOJ trying to steal another election? Don’t miss my show on Rumble for the story. Watch here. 👇🏻https://rumble.com/v5dqp5p-is-the-doj-trying-to-steal-another-election-ep.-2323-09052024.html

“InNuclear War: A Scenario, Annie Jacobsen gives us a vivid picture of what could happen if our nuclear guardians fail…Terrifying.”—Wall Street Journal

We are closer to nuclear war that can wipe us out in minutes or hours than ever before and most people are totally unaware and unconcerned of this reality. For the first time in history there are several nuclear threats and with two major Wars and another Possible Ukraine in Taiwan due to a unresponsive, weak US government with a vacationing figurehead who doesnt talk but provokes. It is very true we’re in danger of World War 3 breaking out at any time. The scary thing is that for the first time war could last for only minutes and hours with the world powers wiped out by the real nuclear threat. Never before has this been so true as today with an unhinged Iran now with nuclear capability or very close to having full nuclear capability for the first time since the Biden and Obama admins have enabled Iran with millions and millions of dollars . we have been betrayed by our leaders and their war machine. I live each day as if it could be the last and perhaps you should and will too after reading this book.

there is a narrative- a one-sided GOVT narrative- which prevents a lot of people from knowing the real truth when it comes to issues like THE NUCLEAR THREAT , JFK ASSASINATION, TRUMP NEAR ASSASINANTION, ETC THE BOOK WILL HELP DEMYSTIFY such.

WHAT IS LABOR DAY?

Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.

*PUBLIC SERVICE – URGENT APPEAL TO READ THIS

TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE UPCOMING IMPORTANT ELECTION(S) THAT AREN’T ALWAYS BEING ACCURATELY COVERED, OR COVERED AT ALL BY MEDIA*

(In fact, a Democrat friend asked me today to help him better understand what’s going on since he knew he wasn’t getting the true story from Youtube, where he gets his news. )

☀ This is a public service  for anyone interested . Set yourself and our dear United States up for success!

We’ve been following the election run up pretty closely. We always try to keep an open mind just like a lot of my mentors did  – REAL journalists like  like Walter Cronkite , Tim Russert and even my high school journalism teacher, who always insisted that I report equally on both sides of news stories. (She would even get very upset if I didn’t interview people from both sides of issues-and she was correct.)

We watch , read and listen to just about everything I can get my hands or eyes on and I’ve been pretty troubled lately to see a lot of one-sided reporting like I’ve never seen before. I’m certainly not going to tell you who to vote for but I will just suggest you keep an open mind and consider the sources and not just the same  one or two.

  I believe that we’re living in a very dangerous time during which many people are unaware by not taking the time to dig deep and search out the real news or because they are listening to only one or two sources. And, I totally understand because until the last 5 or 10 years I never took the time to really investigate what we were reading and learning on the news. Or was too busy with other things and didn’t really care. Many today are getting their news through social media like tick tock which is anything but balanced reporting. But now is the time to care. We’re living In a nuclear age for the first time – the first  time when Our Lives can be snuffed out in minutes with little or no warning.

Trump adds former Democrats RFK Jr and Tulsi Gabbard to transition team

Never before in my life have I seen our Administration turn against our number one Ally in the world, Israel, after suffering their own ‘9-11.’  This has resulted in a year-long war in the mid East like nothing since World War II.

We’ve seen a seemingly never-ending war in Russia – Ukraine . It probably would have never started in the first place with stronger leadership. Then, an assassination attempt that was totally botched by an inept Secret Service that only got lucky because Trump turned his head, the details of which have still not fully been reported or ignored by mainstream media and slow-walking investigators. None of the guilty were even fired , only a handful put on paid-leave.

I am an independent,  neither a Democrat nor Republican but more of a ‘ no labels’ kind of person- I always looked up to to former Democrat Joe Lieberman , who started ‘No Labels,’ but, sadly, passed away recently. May the truth  be told, regardless of party. Source your information, double check and triple check in this era of  opinion news and ‘fake news’ (over 70% no longer trust the news, according to a Harvard study , below)

MEDIA AND GOVERNMENT ONE BIG INCESTUOUS FAMILY –

‘Journalists and politicians have become ensnared in a symbiotic web of lies that misleads the public.’ (Peter Vanderwicken, Harvard Business Review) – Some of these connections are dated but they set up what we have today – and non wonder ratings don’t matter to them

Last Friday, RFK Jr held an significant press conference during which I learned  a lot from and you may, too, below

TRANSCRIPT of Robert F Kennedy Jr speech 8-23-24:

(Please note below transcription was done electrically and there are some points that were not transcribed correctly. We tried to fix them as best we could).

“Democracy today is a little more than a slogan for at least one of the political parties to throw me and other candidates off the ballot and try to throw president Trump in jail . It ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent any serious challenge . The same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor (Kamala Harris) – also without an election- they install the candidate who was so unpopular voters that she dropped out in 2020 without winning a single delegate.

“My uncle and my father both relished debate, ‘  continued RFK Jr in a 35-minute press conference by independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr in Phoenix outlining the current state of affairs, as in these excerpts:

“President Trump, who actually was nominated and won an election, also does interviews daily.  How did the Democratic party choose a candidate (Kamala Harris)  who has never done an interview or debate during the entire election cycle.  We know the answers . They did it by weaponizing the government agencies .   The Democratic Party… has kept me and others from free expression and that’s the very right upon which all of our other constitutional rights rest.  Vladimir Putin’s 88% landslide in Russian elections observing that Putin and his party controlled the Russian press and that is serious opponents from appearing on the ballot. For year in America the DNC also prevented opponents from appearing on the ballot and our television networks expose themselves over the course of more than a year in a campaign where my poll numbers reached at times in the high 20s. On Fox I gave 34 interviews ; in contrast, during the 16 months since I declared ABC NBC CBS MSNBC and CNN combined gave only two live interviews for me.    The Democratic Party… has kept me and others from free expression and that’s the very right upon which all of our other constitutional rights rest.     I’ll just take a moment to ask you to consider the many ways do you have a free press to safeguard democracy’.

ASSASINATION ATTEMPT Being Swept Under Rug?

Secret Service problem was not being fixed- 3 Problems:

1) technology -they rely on yesterday’s technology tomorrow

2.   they thought they could do more with last but they did less with more

3 they should not be doing criminal investigations which takes away from their real mission of security

Was Thomas Crooks the Lee Harvey Oswald of 2024 without the results ? Who was he working for with all his foreign  connections? The $3 billion dollar Secret Service Agency was outsmarted by this 20 year old kid with little resources. Nothing has changed at the FBI, nobody has been fired and they’re supposed investigation is being slow walked and Congress is not doing anything other than a small group of Republicans headed by Chip Roy, Matt Gaetz , Andy Biggs, etc  A successful assassination could happen soon without more being done and now! IS THIS INCOMPETENCE OR INTENT?

MUSIC- BAD RECORDS: WORST EVER TOP 40 Song? And Oakland’s Answer to Sam Cooke Record

Worst Top 40 Record from the ‘Golden Era’ ? And Oakland’s Answer to Sam Cooke

Very few records from the 60s and 50s  and even the 70s and 80s we do not care for but there is one that not only  we don’t like but have no idea why anybody else would like it . It’s just a repetitive mess with virtually no melody or distinguishable lyrics and there is no redeeming value-You probably heard it as it was a 1 No. 17 Billboard  hit in 1963, normally a   good year for music, and it’s called El Watusi by Ray Barretto. click here to HEAR it – Also, Oakland’s answer to Sam Cooke record

TRANSCRIPT of Robert F Kennedy Jr speech 8-23-24:

(Please note below transcription was done electrically and there are some points that were not transcribed correctly. We tried to fix them as best we could).

“Democracy today is a little more than a slogan for at least one of the political parties to throw me and other candidates off the ballot and try to throw president Trump in jail .

”  President Biden and His White House opened up a portal and then invited the CIA the FBI as a censorship agency with  online petition for ABC to include me in the upcoming debate; ; they said that violates Community standard Community standards. The mainstream media was once the guardian of the first amendment OF Democratic principles.  But government settings and oppressors don’t censor lies;  they don’t fear lies they fear the truth and that’s what they censor and I don’t want anything .  I am not terminating my campaign I am simply suspending it and not not ending .  My name will remain on the ballot in Most states. If you live in a blue state you can vote for me without harming me or helping president Trump or vice president Harris and in red states the same will apply.  I encourage you to vote for me and if enough of you do vote for me and neither of the major party candidates win 270 which is quite possible in fact and they are tying at 269 to 269 but in about 10 Battleground States where my presents would be a spoiler I’m going to remove my name and I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me. I

“It’s with a sense of victory are we changed the national political conversation forever  Chronic disease free speech government corruption breaking our addiction to war and move to the center of politics’ I can say to all who worked so hard the last year and a half,  thank you for a job well done

“The principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party Independence speech or more Ukraine and the war on our children I already describe at this one is a noble effort to stop a super villain black bear Putin I’m invading the Ukraine and that just worried his Hitler -like march across Europe.  In fact tiny Ukraine is a proxy and a geopolitical struggle initiated by the Ambitions of the US or American global had your money on Project of extending NATO twins Circle Russia a hostile Act. The credulous medium rarely explained to Americans that we unilaterally walked away from two intermediate nuclear weapons. White House repeatedly spurned Ross’s offered to settle this war peacefully . Ground War began in 2014 on US Agencies overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine and installed a handpicked pro- Western Government that lost in 2019.  America walked away from a peace treaty. the Minsk agreement  negotiated between Russia and Ukraine by European nations . (But today it’s all changed) . These objectives of course have nothing to do with what they were telling American about protecting in this war and it’s a victim of the West.  Since then over 100,000 Russian kids have died and the Ukraine’s infrastructure is destroyed.  the war is going to be a disaster for our country – we responded with  nearly 200 billion dollars already and these are badly needed dollars in our community.  Community is suffering over our country.  The Norstream pipeline sabotage and the sanctions HAVE destroyed Europe’s industrial base which form the Bull Work of US National Security . We put pressure to form a disastrous alliance with China and Iran and  we’re now closer to the brink of nuclear exchange that at any time since 1962.  And the neocons and the White House don’t seem to care at all . Our moral Authority and our economy are in shambles and the war games, judging by our bellicose belligerent speech last night in Chicago. We can assume president Harris will be an enthusiastic advocate for this and other neocon military adventures and president Trump says that he will reopen negotiations with President Putin and and the war overnight as soon as he becomes president. This alone will justify my support for his campaign . It looked like no candidate was willing to negotiate a quick end of the war, tackle the chronic disease epidemic, to protect free speech, our constitutional freedoms, to clean corporate influence out of our government . Burt now One of the two candidates has adopted these issues as his own to the point where he has asked me to help his administration (when and if he gets elected) . .

“I’m speaking of course of Donald Trump . Less than 2 hours after president Trump narrowly escaped his assassination I was in Las Vegas for ending the chronic disease epidemic that is destroying America’s health and ruining our economy. I’ve been advising president Trump . He’s talked to me about chronic disease and other subjects and to explore Avenues of cooperation. He’s suggested that we join forces at the unity party. We talked about Abraham Lincoln’s Team of Rivals. That Arrangement would allow us to disagree publicly and privately and fiercely if needed over issues on which we differ while working together on the existential issues upon which we are in accordance. I was a ferocious critic of many of the policies during his first Administration and there are still issues and approaches upon which we continue to have very serious differences but we are aligned with each other on other key issues like ending the Forever War and dealing with childhood disease , securing the Border, attacking freedom of speech , unraveling the corporate capture of our Regulatory Agencies, getting the US intelligence agencies out of the business of propagandizing and censoring and surveilling Americans and interfering with our elections.

“Following my first discussion with President Trump vice president Harris declined to meet or even to speak with me. Suspending my candidacy is a hard decision for me but I’m convinced that is FOR the best . we talked about all of these issues- about forever Wars about the health of children in America, chronic disease – WE have long intense discussions- and thus the decision to endorse president Trump, which I believe is going to happen later today. “

“T his is a very interesting development that a lot of Voters are very frustrated by in this country- that Robert F Kennedy Jr, the son of Robert Kennedy of the famous Democrat political family generational Democrat family, prominent for decades in this country, was a Democrat running as a candidate and was never given the opportunity to get on the debate stage or being included on ballots in many states” concluded Robert F Kennedy Jr

RFK Jr. joined Trump at Arizona rally 8-23  after being pushed out from running for President by  the Democrats. Despite over 10% share of vote, he was kept out of debates and not allowed on many state ballots. 

I thought that the access to the ballot, democracy as an existential issue, freedom of speech and how awful Democrats have been on those, whether it be the actions that they have taken against him in his attempts to get on the ballot by bringing legal action against them all the way to the way in which they chose I think those are powerful points that they share . Kennedy Jr is pretty disgusted with the Democratic party and it’s tactics right now and they help to drive him into this endorsement of Donald Trump. I was taking notes so this isn’t word for word but he basically said the Democrats have installed a nominee who did not win a single primary has not done a single interview as the nominee . He said this is profoundly undemocratic . They instituted a surge of popularity AT a Chicago circus that was based on nothing . He said , to all that one well I think a lot of this has to do with simple political math which is polls I mean you know “who needs a policy when you have Trump to hate and he said that he does interviews every single day and he would like to see the same from his former party”

Kennedy speaks to a lot of middle of the road voters who are frustrated . He said that the Democrats have become the party of censorship (and I’m roughly quoting here) – big Pharma corruption and anti-democracy in his what I thought was very powerful statement that the media itself was not allowing his message to get out. RFK Jr endorsemen is a huge win. it destroys whatever momentum might have had coming out of this convention

Three main reasons why RFK abandoned the Democratic party and endorsed Trump

‘Main reasons to throw my support to president Trump  were

1) free speech

2) war in Ukraine and

3) the war on our children.’

Strong Response has come in on the RFK support for Trump. Among them an interesting piece from comic/actor Rob Schneider

Dear Fellow Robert Kennedy Jr. supporters and American Citizens,

As we have seen this week,

ONCE AGAIN the Democratic Party is NOT running on any ideas to make American’s lives better, they are once again running on the hatred of one individual, Donald J Trump.

And they are hoping that YOU will HATE him so much that you will forget about the Democrat’s FOREVER WARS that are pushing the world closer to World War III, they are hoping that you forget about your grocery bills being 26% higher since Biden/Harris took office

The Democrats are hoping that you FORGET all the CENSORSHIP that the Biden/Harris regime did, working with TECH companies to silence Scientists, Doctors and Academics and ANYONE who dared question their Tyrannical COVID POLICIES, VIOLATING THE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF ALL AMERICANS, FIRING FEDERAL WORKERS, DOCTORS AND NURSES who refused to get an experimental vaccine, FORCING TWO YEAR OLD BABIES TO WEAR MASKS, CLOSING SCHOOLS AND SMALL BUSINESSES, while allowing BIG BUSINESSES to MAKE BILLIONS in profits, putting GIRLS AND WOMEN AT RISK BY ALLOWING NARCISSISTIC MEN TO INVADE THEIR SAFE SPACES AND SPORTS, putting PORNOGRAPHY BOOKS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, pushing the GENDER MADNESS OF CHILD MUTILATION SURGERIES and CHILD STERILIZATION CASTRATION DRUGS (PUBERTY BLOCKERS), REMOVING AMERICA’S ENERGY INDEPENDENCE and once again making our Nation captive to FOREIGN OIL, OPENING OUR BORDER allowing 11 MILLION ILLEGAL NON-CITIZENS INTO OUR COUNTRY, CAUSING MISERY, DEATH AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING, FLOODING OUR CITIES WITH MIGRANTS AND DEATH CAUSING FENTANYL, ILLEGALS FLOWN TO DIFFERENT STATES all being PAID BY U.S. TAXPAYERS.

The Democrats CALLED TRUMP ‘HITLER’ and half the CITIZENS of our country “MAGATS” and DEPLORABLES, INCITING HATRED AND THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF A FORMER PRESIDENT.

The Democrats cry of ‘SAVING DEMOCRACY’ as they DISCARD the 14 MILLION DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED FOR BIDEN IN THE PRIMARY, effecting a COUP, pushing OUT A DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT and much like the SOVIET POLITBURO, INSTALLING THEIR NEW PUPPET LEADER who had the LOWEST APPROVAL RATING OF ANY FORMER VICE PRESIDENT and who has still REFUSED to take ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS.

YES, the Democrats are hoping that you HATE TRUMP more than YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR FREE SPEECH, YOUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION AND SAFETY AND YOUR FREEDOMS.

Robert Kennedy Jr. supporting President Trump is plainly this:

A REJECTION OF THE AUTHORITARIAN AND SERIAL UNDEMOCRATIC ACTIONS OF THE DEMOCRAT MACHINE.

As a fellow American Citizen and Robert Kennedy Jr. supporter, I hope that you will OPPOSE TYRANNY and join us and VOTE FOR DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Sincerely,

Rob Schneider

DID BIDEN TRY TO HAVE TRUMP KILLED? SERIOUSLY- Third World Assassination Scenario Becoming More and More Believed – and Scary

by admin | Jul 16, 2024 | Uncategorized

and now we have learned of a separate assassination plot by Iran actually happened before the Psnnsylvania shooting, causing the security to supposedly be ramped up, if you could believe that.

by Sean Davis (X)

Nobody wants to hear this because of the implications, but oh well: Joe Biden’s security regime deliberately and with malice aforethought created the conditions that led to an assassin shooting Donald Trump in the head. It is by the grace of God that he lived and our nation is not currently in the midst of a violent civil war.

They deliberately starved Trump’s security team of the resources it needed. And they did it repeatedly, over many weeks and months.

With Trump’s security detail understaffed, under-resourced, and stretched to its limits, Biden’s security regime diverted even more resources to a hastily planned Jill Biden event that just happened to be in the area.

Biden’s security regime then ordered the most obvious assassination perch in the entire area to remain outside the main security perimeter.

Furthermore, Biden’s Secret Service director ordered law enforcement and counter-snipers OFF the roof that the assassin used.

If that weren’t enough, Biden’s security regime also refused to block line of sight from the assasssin’s perch to Trump’s location.

When law enforcement radioed in a suspicious person using a laser range finder at the building and even took photos of him, nothing was done to detain the assassin.

The assassin was so obviously a threat that bystanders at the event begged law enforcement to stop him, but nothing happened.

And even as snipers on the roof near Trump saw a gunman on the roof, Biden’s security regime refused to have agents immediately surround Trump and remove him from the stage to protect him from being shot.

Given the lies and nonsense from both Biden’s DHS secretary and his Secret Service director, it’s increasingly difficult to believe this was a just a series of independent mistakes. In contrast, when you look at the entire picture, what you see better resembles a deliberate plan to make Trump vulnerable but to appear at first glance to be just a couple of innocent mistakes.

And when you add in how little information we’ve been given about the about the shooter—apparently the only person on earth not on the Internet—you begin to wonder if maybe a group of people at a different three-letter agency might have been working on a parallel track to find and encourage people to take action against Trump at the very same time he was kept vulnerable by Biden’s regime.

We know this happens, because the FBI did it with Gretchen Whitmer: it recruited and urged disturbed individuals to buy weapons and put together a plan to kidnap her. In that case, the FBI wanted a story it could use to slime right-wingers. So it created the story itself.

What happens when an agency like that, or maybe even another three-letter agency, decides instead that it’s had enough of Trump? Some former FBI employees might even call it an “insurance policy.”

So who was the shooter talking to in the hours, days, and weeks ahead of the event? Who was he meeting with? Did anyone suggest or nudge or urge him to go to the Trump rally in Butler? Did anyone suggest or point out to him the building he eventually used? Was he told at any time to not worry about security?

The FBI told us almost immediately that while it couldn’t open the assassin’s phone, it knew he acted alone. That’s kind of strange, when you think about it. They told us almost immediately that they identified him by DNA, despite him having no criminal record. They also said they found explosives in his car. Why didn’t they just identify him by his plates or registration or next of kin identification? That’s pretty weird, too.

At some point you just have to say enough with the lies. We saw what they did with the Russia hoax. We saw the Kavanaugh hoax. We saw the COVID origin hoax. We saw the Ukraine hoax, the stolen election, the J6 op, and then the armed Mar-a-Lago raid and the myriad illegal cases against Trump.

They called him Hitler. They said he was an existential threat. They said he would destroy democracy. They said he was the most dangerous person on earth.

Then the denied him security. The kept the rooftop open. They watched the shooter and did nothing. They kept Trump on that stage. And they didn’t do a damn thing until after he had been shot in the head.

And we’re all supposed to believe it was just an innocent oopsie?
