Free Republic

Over the last 2 months I've probably put in 3 weeks of work to write and research three FR vanities that look at the fraudulent side of Georgia politics that Governor Brian Kemp has enabled. Many thanks to qaz123 for helping to put this program together -- and for pointing me in the direction of the Rivan and Hollywood frauds which I was not even aware of 2 months ago. The vanities summarize the major reasons, and I believe they are an easy read with some images that educate and get people to read. I guess 85% of Georgia Republicans...

Political science students study many forms of government: democracies, communist states, oligarchies, and the like. But the Lord Dominator of Georgia, Brian Kemp, has excelled at perfecting his Kleptocracy, a less-familiar government form that is widely found in the corrupt states of Africa, Banana Republic Land, and Chicago. A Kleptocracy (from the Greek word kleptes, "thief") is a government run by leaders who redistribute the wealth and land of citizens to benefit themselves via outright theft.

The Economic Development Fraud Watchdog group, Good Jobs First, has released a scathing report on the $1.5 billion subsidy package the State of Georgia has approved for the "unproven" electric vehicle company – Rivian. Greg LeRoy, the watchdog's Executive Director, offered the following analysis of the Georgia Rivian deal, what he believes to be the largest subsidy package for an auto assembly factory in U.S. history. The Rivian incentives are grossly over-priced and Georgia taxpayers will never break even on the deal. It will cause upward pressure on local property tax rates and may also reduce the quality of public...

At intervals in the history of the world, the people of some country or other, or, more accurately, a relatively enlightened and resolute faction of them, become unhappily aware of the nature of the government they live under, and undertake measures to improve it.Rebellion of the BaronsSometimes those measures take the form of assassinating its principle dignitaries, or of driving them into exile, but more often the thing is done more gently. For example, maybe a famous builder of skyscrapers and golf resorts gets so fed up that he runs for President. Or a tycoon who builds rockets and cars...

Batman battles numerous supervillians, but none is more clever than the Riddler, the best criminal mastermind in Gotham City. The Riddler has no superhuman powers, but he excels at creating elaborate riddles, puzzles, and traps that constantly fool and evade Batman and the police.Now in the real-world state of Georgia, dear FReepers, there's a taxpayer fraud scam so ingenious and intricately woven that it's likely the work of a gang of Riddlers. Indeed, the schemers have spun their crime to the public as a great commercial success — which, of course, has only fueled the fraud's growth. The fraud...

Rivian, a recently gone public electric vehicle company supported by the Biden administration and in which Leftist Billionaire George Soros recently invested a huge sum of money is trying to drop a massive car manufacturing plant in the middle of a retired community east of Atlanta. Citizens are angry at Governor Kemp and other politicians who are attempting to fast-track this project in total disregard of the rights of local citizens. To fully explain all that’s wrong with this Rivian auto plant "deal" — and the likely motives of Kemp and his cronies for supporting it — will require 2...

As all government, in its essence, is organized exploitation, and in virtually all existing forms it is an implacable enemy of every industrious and well-disposed man.In theory, it invades his liberty and collars his money only in order to protect him, but in truth it always makes a stiff profit on the exchange. That profit represents the income of the professional politicians, nine-tenths of whom are simply professional rogues. They employ a great many technicians to carry on the ostensible functions of government, and some of those technicians are honorable and competent men, but the politicians themselves are seldom either....

Joe O'Biden to Make Guest Appearance in Sequel to 2019's Irishman Gangster Movie (satire and pic)The 2019 gangster movie Irishman directed by Martin Scorsese was a fan favorite, but not a commercial success. The story is based on a Irishman (played by Robert De Niro) who worked for the Mafia and had Jimmy Hoffa assasinated With a huge budget of $159 million, Irishman's U.S. box office was only $8 million, so the the chance of a sequel to Irishman looks rather slim. Yet a reported 17 million Americans saw the movie within the first week of its release, suggesting there's...

Elon Musk is a pleasure to listen to for a number of reasons: he's down to earth, witty, often funny, and as the CEO & Chief Engineer of Space/X he can delve into the challenges of rocketing to Mars and make it somewhat understandable and interesting for the layman. I'm pretty impatient when it comes to podcasts, but I listened to the first 45 minutes of this 2.5 hour recording -- it was that interesting. Scan the subjects in the index below, then click to your subject of interest. Here's an excerpt from the podcast where he discusses what he...

This weekend my wife and I watched a feature length Japanese movie on TV Japan entitled The Great War of Archimedes, a movie that has nothing to do with Archimedes, and there's actually only one -- terrific -- intense battle simulation scene in the flick. I'll do my best here to convince you FReepers that this is a great choice to watch (in English subtitles) -- and try to not give the plot away. What the Movie IS and IS NOT: It is NOT a War movie, though the first few minutes of his movie show a highly realistic and...

Imagine having a simple tool for creating and updating your own private starter page (homepage) of favorite links on the web. If you're looking for something like that, I've built one you can download and use for free. Here's the idea behind it: Build and maintain the homepage using a simple text editor (such as Notepad++) that doesn't require you to learn HTML — just insert a few HTML tags. Deliver a private HTML page that launches from your laptop so you can quickly access your links without Big Tech's help. Enable quick search engine switching to and from...

An incredible one hour interview with Lin Wood by Epoch Times. 57 minutes long. This powerful -- by the fireside interview -- is Lin Wood as I imagine him to be in his finest hours of the court room. I found his comments absolutely riveting -- a modern day John Adams lays out the stakes for America in the next several days. MUST SEE. Some of the topics: Who will decide: courts? legislature? congress? The communist infiltration of this country. The different kinds of lawsuits being filed. The tyranny of Covid 19 restrictions. Why the people will not let this...

<p>Peter Navarro's Report: The Immaculate: Six Dimensions of Election Irregularities is the right report at the right time.  I found four threads on this important report on FR alone.</p><p>Yesterday I noticed that Fake News is working overtime to disparage the Report, probably because it does such a good job of sorting out the complexity.</p>

Gettysburg Address 2020Twelve score and four years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a cold civil war, testing whether that Nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are engaged on many battle-fields of that war — in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada. Will these fields of battle become the graveyard and final resting place for the free Republic that millions of American men and women risked or gave...

New England has produced some famous athletes: Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Tom Brady, Ted Williams. But Bobby Orr holds a special place in the hearts of sports lovers in New England -- especially those who watched Orr play for the Boston Bruins on those low-res TVs of the 60's and 70's. You see, as a kids growing up there, skating and ice hockey were rich personal experiences.  The many ponds and lakes in the region would freeze over in December, November, and January.  And all you needed to do was shovel way the snow on top and you had your...

My FRiends, Many of you have been following the rise of Laura Loomer, a true MAGA candidate: ex-Project Veritas investigator, and a 27-year old and proud Jewish woman who has: Directly confronted Jew-Hater Rashida Taleb to her face and caused a stir; Protested illegal immigration by erected a tent on Nancy Pelosi's large estate; Chained herself to the front door of Twitter, who like all the digital giants has banned Laura on their platforms Stood up and interrupted the New York play scene where President Trump is mock assassinated; Walking the Capitol building she caught Maxine Waters in the hallway...

CNN reporter Brian Stelter lost his temper during a BBC Radio 4 roundtable at the suggestion that mainstream media newsrooms had shown poor ethics and a double standard in their breathless reporting of the “Russia collusion” hoax. The panel discussion discussed censorship of the recent story about Hunter Biden’s emails, which many newsrooms ignored and the Silicon Valley social media companies actively suppressed. Stelter supported the suppression, saying that the tech companies needed to do more of it.

For many years, history professor Allan Lichtman's has gained fame predicting Presidential Elections through a Key Question model that has remained consistent since 1980. Lichtman has published his prediction methodology in a Wikipedia entry entitled, The Keys to The White House, which he claims has predicted the winner every time, with exception of his error predicting Al Gore's victory over Bush.  Before the 2016 Election, Lichtman predicted his model would have Trump win, but the devil in his model is how he interprets the facts plugged into the model.  I analyzed his analysis in a 2016 FR vanity: Professor...

Hard to believe that Kamala Harris was the top Law Enforcement Official (Attorney General) of California.  Actor James Woods on twitter posted a portion of this YouTube vid, and it's shocking. It's in a conversation with Stephen Colbert on his Late Night show.  The discussion is about the protests in cities across the country. And in her comments Harass is practically cheerleading the protestors -- even though we know they are bringing tremendous violence to city streets. Colbert's key question begins at the 5:23 minute mark of this 6 and a half minute video. Colbert: And I want to make...

Folks, Secretary Mike Pompeo gave a talk in Israel alongside Prime Minister Netanyahu. The Fake News and Search Engines are doing everything in their power from having the public hear/see the wonderful praise Netanyahu gave the Trump Administration today. Netanyahu laid all the cards on the table. He crushed Obama's Iran policy and gave a stirring endorsement of President Trump. I could not find his speech on Youtube or any outlet, but here's the transcript of his remarks from the State Department directly.
