Twitter/Zerohedge ^ | 6/24/23 | Tom Elliott

The tweets by Tom Elliot are set out in article form and more easily readable at this link:

(FR doesn't allow articles from Zerohedge so I can't directly post that article).

(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Crime/Corruption; Extended News; Government
KEYWORDS: biden; corruption; dojfbi; garland
One thing that is being discussed very little (except by commenters such as those here at FR), is the fact that the DOJ and FBI KNEW of the Biden's corruption at the time of Trump's impeachment for his phone call to the Ukrainian president. "Journalists", left and right, are very deliberately avoiding mention of that fact.

That point is number eighteen in Elliott's list.

18) "At the time Trump was being impeached for asking Ukraine to investigate Biden’s alleged corruption in Ukraine, the FBI & IRS already knew the Bidens had indeed laundered more than $10 million from Burisma, via fake companies and dozens of bank accounts, while at the same time VP Biden had used U.S. aid as leverage in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma fired."

When this mess unwinds, which I think in time it will, the collateral damage will be enormous. But the actual damage to the perps will be minimized, until a true unwind is complete.

The Durham report is an example, as is the Barr games recently played, or the 51 "intelligence" individuals assuring that a fake was real. We've watched boycotts not organized shake multinational companies. So it seems there is a good chance this house of corrupt cards will fall, even under its own weight.

Blatant political corruption

Well, it’s a government of the government, by the government, for the government. They want your money, and not your opinion. The 2020 election was an open window for all in America to see that the Republic was dead. At least half of America realized it, the other half are Fascist/Communists (for the purpose of the discussion it’s all the same), or so caught up in ‘special interests’ and ‘government sponsored propaganda’ that they could see it.

I can only surmise, especially after the lawfare against Trump, and things like Project 65, that’s it’s going to look more and more like NAZI germany in the 1930’s. Except Christians will be the first target, they will get Jews later after they used them.

Adam Smith's notion of "invisible hands" comports nicely with those who rely of God's hands, and more. So, nowhere in your critique of my statement is their your clarion call to a program you so support. I'll wait -- not lying down, for the sake of my morning coffee -- for a statement of your proactive program. I am looking forward to reading it.

I remember the days when Freepers were activists and actually spent their valuable time and money actively engaging everywhere they could.

I no longer have the energy to engage. I have made my efforts.

What I see now is apathy and complacency and hot air

“What I see now is apathy and complacency and hot air”


J.D. Rucker posted an article on Elliott’s tweets as well.

https://thelibertydaily.com/the-more-we-learn-about-the-2020-election-the-harder-it-is-to-deny-it-was-stolen/

He says something similar to your statement at the above-linked article.

“Those who cheated in 2020 are despicable, but I actually have more animosity toward those who believe the 2020 election was stolen but have bought into the UniParty Swamp narrative that we need to “move on.” The 2022 “Red Tsunami” was thwarted because too many on the right moved on. The 2024 election will not work out for the nation if too many people continue to ignore what happened in 2020.

Now is NOT the time to move on. We need the corruption and the voter fraud of 2020 exposed if we have any hope the 2024 election will not be a repeat. That mission continues by sharing Elliott’s post. We need to fight the good fight or our nation will be lost forever.”

I don’t know about freepers but we still see protests, parents fighting the corruption in the schools (and being labeled as do estic terrorists for doing so), groups protesting abortion clinics, on and on it goes. I understand that the tea party is still active too. People also put a financial drubbing on bud light etc. Folks financially support grass roots polititicians, and work to expose rinos where poasible. The church still preaches about evils, and sends people into the fields to teach others about christ and opposing evil etc.

People are still fighting, but yeah, we could really use a dynamic, gregarious person with a huge personality that could rally the masses to boycott, and be a force for good.

If noone were trying, evil would have free reign to do whatever it wants, and life would,be literally almost hell on earth- like it’s gonna be during the tribulation where evil no longer had any opposition whatsoever because the church has been removed, and Noone is left to oppose evil.

It might seem like little is being done, but really a lot is still being done, but yeah, alot more would surely be a welcomed thing.

A simpler way to say it is the Biden Crime Family and the Marxist Dems are at the root of the problem.

--- "I no longer have the energy to engage. I have made my efforts. What I see now is apathy and complacency and hot air."

I am soon turning 76.

You wrote me with: --- "By thinking it will is lying down to be eaten by the lions." I responded and wrote to you: 'Adam Smith's notion of 'invisible hands' comports nicely with those who rely of God's hands, and more. So, nowhere in your critique of my statement is their your clarion call to a program you so support. I'll wait -- not lying down, for the sake of my morning coffee -- for a statement of your proactive program. I am looking forward to reading it."

Your response: None, really. Except a cop-out because apparently even a statement of what you would do is beyond your "energy to engage."

Next time you want to toy with someone very likely your age, one supposes, understand that you should engage back with something other than your own "hot air."

Asked to offer your proactive plan, you respond with your own "apathy."

“What I see now is apathy and complacency and hot air.” Yep. The best have lost all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.

Getting lost in the avalanche of Biden Family corruption news is something very important that needs to be recognized as a turning point and whose architect should be recognized as an important historical figure when all is said and done; were it not for Elon Musk and his aggressive moves to take over Twitter, we wouldn't be where we are now.
