“'Save democracy' is code phrase for a club of delusional people who belong to a delusional group that does delusional things to justify their delusions.” — Wendy Williamson.
You’ve got to wonder who at CBS-News thinks it’s a good idea to quadruple down on mendacious grandstanding when the network faces a $20-billion lawsuit from Donald Trump — for assisting Kamala Harris’s campaign (aka election interference) — while the FCC under new Commissioner Brendan Carr questions the network’s license to operate on the grounds of “news distortion” and violation of the broadcast news fairness doctrine.
So, on Sunday night February 16, CBS’s flagship news show, 60-Minutes, pitched a doubleheader of knowingly faked-up feature pieces intended to scramble American minds to benefit the Party of Chaos and its manager, the US Intel Blob. The first piece was a sob-story on how sad and unjust DOGE’s deconstruction of the USAID money-laundering operation is. Yeah, boo-hoo. They interviewed several part-timers and consultants pretending to be long-term employees of the outfit. Complete horse-s***, and they knew it. What really matters is that a whole lot of bureaucrat grifters (and politicians) won’t get paid anymore. . . and the Blob won’t be able to soften-up faraway nations for plunder with its color revolutions and other hijinks.
The second piece was a ringing endorsement of Germany’s current censorship campaign, arresting ordinary citizens for mean tweets. Their camera crew followed the German Gedankenpolizei entering apartments and seizing cell phones. The viewing audience was asked to shed tears for German Green Party politician, Renate Künast, who got dissed on “X” (“misogynist comments” and insults) — the same week that an Islamic immigrant maniac drove a car into a Munich crowd on-purpose, injuring 39 people, including two dead (one, a child). No mention of that incident on 60-Minutes, or, more generally, that illegal immigration is the big taboo subject behind all the censorship.
CBS actually preceded that gaslighting job with a bit of Sunday morning constructed Orwellian fake syllogistic idiocy by Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan, who said that free speech caused the Holocaust against the Jews. Her reasoning: free speech allowed the Nazis to gain power, therefore. . . Auschwitz . . . therefore, free speech is bad. Guest, Sec’y of State Marco Rubio, told her that he could not associate himself with her thesis. In fact, once in power, the Nazis totally controlled speech and news and did not permit other political parties to even exist. All of this, you understand, is just deliberate Gramscian distortion-and-perversion of language — black is white, up is down — to defeat any attempt at coherent public debate today.
The conclusion you might draw from all this is that CBS is terrified of free speech, and is trying desperately to hide the Blob’s long-running criminal racketeering activity — which they have aided and abetted for years and deserve to lose their license over, plus pay billions in penalties, and go out of business — a rather existential predicament.
Reality distortion is no longer working so well with Mr. Trump in the White House. Here is what’s behind the USAID brouhaha and why it matters. By 2016, the Blob had become a fullblown, independent, parasitical organism on US governance. It had several purposes: 1) to keep itself in perpetual power by paying off its voting blocs of “the poor and marginalized,” 2) to pay its corps of bureaucrat managers (of the “poor and marginalized”) handsome salaries to win their everlasting allegiance, and 3) to pay-off elected officials to keep voting the money flows for all that. All this created a massive class of Democratic Party activists dedicated to overthrowing the republic so as to usher-in their social equity nirvana. And all that was sheer hubris. More recently, nemesis arrived on the scene and all this institutional Blob power had to be diverted to a massive a**-covering operation, now in full, florid failure. And, worst of all for the Blobists, evidence of actual crime is accruing at a frightful, fast pace.
With the confirmation of Kash Patel later this week, Mr. Trump’s agency team will be complete. What follows will be a Krakatoa of revelation, drastically altering the climate of US politics for years to come. You should learn exactly how many FBI and CIA agents were moiling and roiling in the J-6 mob. You’ll find out what the J-6 DNC pipe bomb caper was all about. You’ll find out why RussiaGate was never properly investigated or adjudicated. . . how the Adam Schiff / Alexander Vindman / Eric Ciaramella impeachment op worked. . . how the Clinton Foundation made a zillion dollars . . . where all the money went that got poured into Ukraine. . . and much much more.
You will also soon start getting some actually reliable information out of CDC, FDA, NIH, and other public health agencies. Do you suppose that Tony Fauci is the only person who must answer for Covid-19? I expect many of the following persons who were high-ranking officials — nearly all of them completely obscure to the public — to be asked under oath what they thought they were doing:
Robert R. Redfield, M.D. — Director of the CDC
H. Clifford Lane, M.D. — Deputy Director for Clinical Research and Special Projects, Clinical Director, NIAID
Sarah W. Read, M.D., M.H.S. — NIAID Principal Deputy Director
Jill R. Harper, Ph.D. — NIAID Deputy Director, Science Management
Carl W. Dieffenbach, Ph.D. — Director, Division of AIDS.......SNIP
Aufseherin ([ˈaʊ̯fˌzeːəʁɪn], pl. Aufseherinnen) was the position title for a female guard in Nazi concentration camps. Of the 50,000 guards who served in the concentration camps, training records indicate that approximately 3,500 were women.
Inasmuch as I agree with the sentiment (see tag line), the posecution will be suffficiently protracted while premised upon a massively destroyed evidentiary base, with Trump talking about "success is the best revenge," I have my doubts that so many cases are likely to enjoy that conclusion.
President Trump has a habit of exceeding the expectations of “reasonable” people.
I expect to see him do it again.
They don’t want to “save democracy”, they want to “save OUR democracy”. AKA their world view, the way THEY want things.
Back when I was working in dairy country, one of my coworkers had been dating a rather cultured and reserved local farmer's daughter. One day he shows up, announces his engagement, then proceeds to recount what she had said about his "not getting free milk from a cow."
None of us expected to hear that sort of thing out of her, so there was a stunned microsecond before we all busted out laughing. She was no 'Tiffany,' but she was no fool.
We lasted 2 years until I couldn’t take her bat shit crazy any longer.
She must’ve given good “haircuts”. 😉
MARGARET BRENNAN IS BEING EXPOSED.
SHE IS NOT VERY BRIGHT
When the dust settles I expect many members of Congress of both parties will be revealed to have personally been getting money through these Byzantine government agencies and their NGOs. I also expect some members of Congress to abruptly retire in the near future sensing that they may be caught in the DOGE dragnet
Georgia Satellites. One of the best songs ever!
‘Keep Your Hands to Yourself’
I got a little change in my pocket going jing-a-ling-a-ling
Most call you on the telephone, baby, I give you a ring
But each time we talk, I get the same old thing
Always, “No huggee, no kissee until I get a wedding ring”
My honey, my baby, don’t put my love upon no shelf
She said, “Don’t hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself”
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, why you wan’ treat me this way?
You know I’m still your loverboy, I still feel the same way
That’s when she told me a story ‘bout free milk and a cow
And said, “No huggee, no kissee until I get a wedding vow”
My honey, my baby, don’t put my love upon no shelf
She said, “Don’t hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself”
You see, I wanted her real bad and I was about to give in
Oh, that’s when she started talking about true love, started talking about sin
I said, “Honey, I’ll live with you for the rest of my life”
She said, “No huggee, no kissee until you make me a wife”
My honey, my baby, don’t put my love upon no shelf
She said, “Don’t hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself”
Another good post; thanks.
