If There is No Truth, Then Neither Heresy Nor Treason Exist!

By Rich Kozlovich

I originally published this on October 5, 2014, and again on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, and for some reason it's being hit a lot now.  As I read it I thought to myself; I need to re-publish this again.  Remember, this was published 12 years ago, and look at how dramatically and quickly American culture has morphed into a downward swirl of insanity.  

This article is about foundational thinking. For anything to be successful it has to have foundational logic supporting all that takes place. For America, the Bible and the U.S. Constitution are foundational to the American story and the basis for American exceptionalism. Those are the two foundations I wish to ponder here.  The Holy Bible and the U.S. Constitution and the modern implications for both.   

There was a recent poll of U.S. Catholics taken that claims most Catholics back same-sex marriage claiming In an article by Lucy Madison which appeared on March 8, 2013 she states that:

"amid growing support for same-sex marriage nationwide, a new poll from Quinnipiac University shows that most Catholics in the U.S. also back same-sex marriage, despite the church's teachings against it."

She goes on to say that:

"According to the poll, which surveyed 497 adult Catholics from February 27 - March 4 with a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percent, 54 percent of Catholic voters support same-sex marriage, while 38 percent oppose it. The survey shows a dramatic shift on the subject in the last few years: In a July 2008 poll by Quinnipiac, only 36 percent of Catholic voters said they supported same-sex marriage, while 55 percent opposed it."

Among 1,944 registered voters surveyed in the same poll, 47 percent supported same-sex marriage and 43 percent opposed it. A December poll asking the same question showed a statistical tie on the issue, at 48 percent in support and 46 percent in opposition." 

I'm not all that impressed with polls because they are so easily twisted, but for my readers who are believers, Catholic or otherwise, I think this is worth pondering for a while.  If this poll is accurate, it would appear heresy is far more rampant than most realized. It would also appear that religious conviction is expected to adhere to public opinion, which was predicted.  

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear".  2 Timothy 4:3

Does this imply they don't believe the hand of God is behind the Bible?  If that is the case, and it appears that it is, what hope is there to get people to honor a manmade document such as the U.S. Constitution?

Believers are taught to believe the Bible was inspired by God.  You know, the one believers are supposed to be worshiping. Yet, thousands of years of Biblical writings and teaching are being ignored or twisted by those who claim to believe. If that is the case, and it appears that it is, then one would suppose there are a great many "believers" who think God lies, or he has no idea what he's talking about, or that the writings are solely the works of men, or at the very least, question even if he exists.  All that makes the Bible of no more worth than the insane ramblings of Karl Marx.   If that's so, and it appears it is, then they simply ignore the Biblical teachings and replace them with which ever philosophical flavor of the day comes down the pike. 

Truth exists, whether we like it or not. We don’t create truth; we find it, and we have no power to change it to our tastes. The truth may not make us comfortable, but it does make us free. And knowing and living the truth ennobles our lives. It’s the only path to lasting happiness.   Archbishop Charles Chaput, Retired

How could such a thing happen in a nation known for its Christian religious foundation? This has happened slowly over a course of decades. This came about because the Bible, and the surrounding history and commentaries aren't taught in the churches, and neither is it done at home. All of which was done regularly in the past. Thousands of years of Biblical writings and teaching are being ignored or twisted.  

Public and higher education has been instrumental in undermining those traditional and foundational values that made the American culture possible.   Was the American culture ever perfect?  No, but with all our faults, still the greatest culture the world has ever known, bringing more people out of misery and suffering than any other in all of human history.  America never offered perfection.  What America offered the most acceptable imperfection.

Sir Roger Scruton once noted:

A writer who says there are no truths, or that all truth is merely relative, is asking you not to believe him.  So don't.   So then why is society choosing to believe those who shouldn't be believed, and ignoring those who need to be believed?   

Now we come to the finest secular document ever conceived of by man, the U.S. Constitution, which isn't studied in the nation's schools, nor is it read privately, which is far more easily read and understood than the sixty six books of the Bible, yet few have read it, fewer understand it, and as a result, few realize what's been lost.  

That leaves one to believe the Constitution, the second primary foundation to justify the American system, has little value to the average citizen because the history behind it is being twisted or ignored. Once again; the Bible and the U.S. Constitution are foundational to the American story and the basis for American exceptionalism.  If either one is discarded the great American experiment is finished.  

John Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Morality and virtue are the foundation of our republic and necessary for a society to be free.

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Matt. 7:26  

Everyone, believer or non-believer, can surely see the wisdom in that parable. Everything has a historical foundation, and everything we are told should bear some resemblance to what we see going on in reality. But, it really is incumbent upon us to pay just a “tiny little bit of attention” to what is going on for that to have any meaning in our lives. And from talking to so many people I truly think believers and non-believers alike fear a storm is coming. 

There is one more point I would like for everyone to ponder for a while. If one claims to be a believer and yet supports views that are antithetical to their belief system it's called heresy. 

If one claims to be an American yet works to undermine the U.S. Constitution, what exactly is that called? We used to call it treason.   

Final thought.

While Sir Roger Scruton was English, his comments strike deeply into the heart of all these destructive current events, not only in England, but in America and the entirety of Western civilization.

Sir Roger Scruton – "Which side are you on? Will you stand by the gnarled oak of Englishness or will you bring on the bulldozers of soulless modernity?  Can you appreciate beauty or are you an enraged devotee of contemporary art? Do you want wholesome food or tasteless, shrink-wrapped crap? Do you care about western civilization or would you be happy to see it demolished. Are you one of us, or one of them?"

Will Americans stand by the solid and stable foundation of the Constitution, or embrace insanity and destruction? That's the entirely of it all.

Woodrow Wilson’s War Against the Constitution

Woodrow Wilson rejected the Founders’ constitutional order, replacing it with expert-driven administration that still defines American government.

By  Jon Fleischman June 8, 2026

Recently, Justice Clarence Thomas used a speech at the University of Texas at Austin to remind Americans why Woodrow Wilson still matters in the fight for constitutional government. “Since Wilson’s presidency,” Thomas warned, “progressivism has made many inroads into our system of government and our way of life. It has coexisted uneasily with the principles of the Declaration. Because it is opposed to those principles, it is not possible for the two to coexist forever.” That is the right frame. Wilson did not merely fail the Constitution. He rejected its central premises—and helped build the machinery that continues to threaten the Founders’ vision of limited constitutional government.

When I survey the long parade of presidents who led this country, from giants like Washington and Lincoln to the mediocrities and failures, one man stands apart as uniquely destructive: Woodrow Wilson.

When he entered the White House in 1913, he brought unusual credentials: a doctorate from Johns Hopkins, a scholarly reputation, and experience leading Princeton University. Americans thought they were getting their first true scholar-president.

What they got instead was the worst president in American history, a man whose toxic blend of intellectual arrogance, racial prejudice, and authoritarian instincts inflicted wounds on this country that we are still trying to heal.

The Classroom Meets the Real World

Wilson’s academic background shaped everything in his presidency, sometimes for better, often for worse. He approached governing like a professor addressing a stubborn class, convinced that if he explained things clearly enough, everyone would eventually see the wisdom of his vision.

That worked in lecture halls. It failed spectacularly in the messy world of politics.  ..............To Read More

The Curse of Barack Obama Continues

His illegal acts continue years after he left office 

Susan Daniels Aug 14, 2025

 For anyone unaware that Barack Obama was using a stolen Connecticut Social Security number (SSN) since his mid-20s, welcome to reality. For those who are sick of seeing the following, I apologize. But to stop the naysayers, it is necessary to prove a crucial point. Any number beginning with 042 was reserved exclusively for CT residents. Obama’s should have started with 575 or 576, as did those used for Hawaiians.

 

“Using someone else's Social Security number (SSN) is a federal crime, specifically identity theft, with potential penalties including imprisonment and hefty fines. It falls under the umbrella of 18 U.S.C § 1028, which addresses identity theft and fraud. The severity of the penalties can escalate depending on the specific context, such as when it's used to commit other felonies or acts of terrorism.” That’s the big picture. Now to one specific Obama stunt. As a felon, every law he signed, every dollar he spent, every military action he approved, and every appointment he made while president was illegal. Just because he is no longer in the White House his stench continues. Case in point:

 

Under code name Pelican Project, Gulftainer Group, a subsidiary of Crescent Group, gained control of a vital area of Port Canaveral, Florida. From the signing document: “The Port Authority sought for a globally experienced company able to bring expertise and investment into the Port, to lease, develop, and operate a container terminal on Port land. In a secret operation in June 2014, the Obama administration entered into a 35-year agreement, bypassing the required National Security Threat Analysis and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). 

Gulftainer agreed to $100 million investment in a new cargo area there. From The American Report 2016: 

“America is facing a grave security nightmare at Florida’s Port Canaveral. “After an apparent Clinton pay-to-play operation, Barack Hussein Obama administration officials handed over control of Port Canaveral’s cargo container operations to the brother of Saddam Hussein’s chief WMD nuclear physicist, Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar.”

 

Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar fathered Saddam Hussein’s rogue nuclear weapons program. Badr Jafar, son of Hamid Dhia Jafar and nephew of Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, signed the Canaveral project for the Crescent Group (Gulftainer). 

 

From Steemit: 

“Gulftainer, like many other multinationals has a consortium of owners- the Principality of the UAE, the Jafar Brothers of Iraq, and the Russian company Rostec. It is perhaps the Jafar brothers that raise the largest red flag. Dr. Dhia Jafar was the Vice Chairman of Iraq's Atomic Energy Commission and the inventor of the Arab Bomb, nicknamed the ‘Goofball.’ 

“What is troubling about the Canaveral deal is that it offers a perfect opportunity for enemies of the United States to bring a nuclear device to our shores disguised inside a shipping container… even more troubling is that Project Pelican was undertaken without any government oversight whatsoever... 

Or perhaps this is the real ‘Russia Collusion’ story, Obama and his cronies in the Clinton/Kerry State Dept. conspiring to set off another false flag like 9/11 and blame Trump and the Russians to start WWIII. Maybe this is what Hillary was talking about when she said: 

"If that b.....d gets elected we'll all f..king hang by our necks." America's national security was sold by the Obama administration and the American public deserves to know why.”

So here we have just one example of an unapproved, illegal operation by Barack Hussein Obama against America, and it is within proximity to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Kennedy Space Center, and Patrick Space Force Base. From Combat Veterans for Congress 2018: 

“Project Pelican is among the worst agreements the Obama administration ever approved, possibly worse than transferring of 20% of the US’ production of uranium to Russia, and possibly even worse than the flawed Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement, which should have been an International Treaty requiring US Senate ratification.” 

This is just one of Obama’s treacherous tricks. It’s time to arrest the illegitimate Obama for his felonious activity using a stolen SSN. 

Democrats’ Perversion of Democracy

August 8, 2025 By Richard Blakley

In speaking of Democrats verbally attacking law enforcement officers, President Trump is quoted as saying, “Well, they would not be saying that if they didn’t hate our country.  And obviously, they do.”  Then President Trump spoke a generality concerning Democrats and said, “This is the problem with Democrats, they have a lot of bad things going on in their heads.  They’ve become very…they’ve lost their confidence, number one.  And they’re really, they’ve become somewhat deranged.”.........To Read More...

•  The leftist attack on the family - By Kevin Finn August 7, 2025 - The traditional nuclear family — a married couple (man and woman) with their children — is the foundational unit for a stable society.  It provides emotional and economic support and fosters secure environments for child development.  Stable families often correlate with lower rates of juvenile delinquency, better educational outcomes, and stronger mental health, as children benefit from consistent parental guidance and resources.  Economically, nuclear families can pool resources, reducing reliance on public systems.  Socially, they promote values like responsibility and cooperation, which translate into community cohesion......

California Mayors Urge Cops, Gang Members to Fight ICE

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

 

In Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass signed an ‘executive declaration’ ordering every municipal department to be in compliance with the “sanctuary city ordinance” and to create a “preparedness plan” to block federal immigration enforcement. 

 She could have just called it a declaration of insurrection.

California was already infamous for its sanctuary city status, but Gov. Newsom and local officials like Mayor Bass are doubling down on ordering government employees, including local law enforcement, to protect illegal alien criminals and to confront federal law enforcement.

That can’t end well.

“I will never accept these unlawful and chaotic raids,” the Long Angeles mayor vowed and promised to “deploy every resource and tool available within the city” to protect illegal aliens and stop federal law enforcement from enforcing immigration law. Her ‘executive declaration’ also requests the “Police Commission, in collaboration with the Chief of Police, to incorporate, where appropriate, the community feedback and provide additional guidance to police officers on how to respond to situations involving federal immigration enforcement. “

Over a dozen local mayors had joined Bass at an event calling for an end to immigration enforcement. The attendees included Mayor Arturo Flores who had berated Marines deployed in Los Angeles and who had urged local police to stop ICE from arresting illegal aliens.

Mayor Flores of Huntington Park put out a statement targeting ICE and “urging law enforcement to investigate and intervene in any unauthorized operations that place public safety or civil liberties at risk.”

Flores and the rest of the city government passed a resolution ‘ordering’ ICE personnel to reveal their names. Huntington Park rolled out a HP With You program to aid illegal aliens and obstruct immigration enforcement.

Ventura Mayor Jeannette Sanchez-Palacios, another attendee at the Bass anti-immigration enforcement event, put out a letter urging residents to “report and document” ICE activities and referred them to the Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP). MICOP is a member of the ‘ICE Out of VC’ coalition alongside the local SEIU chapter, the Latinx Bar Association and pro-Hamas group CAIR. A key ‘ICE Out of VC’ activist urged local police to “stand up to protect our communities if ICE violates the law.”

When California politicians aren’t pressuring police officers to fight ICE, they’re turning to criminals to aid them in ending federal immigration enforcement.

Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez of Cudahy, who was also at the Bass event, went even further by appearing to rally violent street gangs to fight ICE. “You guys are all about territory, you tag everything up, and this is 18th Street and this is Florencia and now that your hood’s being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain’t a peep out of you.”

“I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles – 18th Street, Florencia. Where’s the leadership at?” she demanded of the two street gangs. The 18th Street gang has an estimated 30,000 members and is responsible for trafficking meth and cocaine, and numerous murders. The Florencia 13 gang is nearly as deadly and has been known to traffic in fentanyl.

“So don’t be trying to claim no block, no nothing if you’re not showing up right now trying to, like, help out and organize. I don’t want to hear a peep out of you once they’re gone, trying to claim that this is my block. This was not your block. You weren’t even here helping out. So whoever is the leadership over there just f***ing get your members in order,” the vice mayor demanded of two gangs that had already carried out the murders of police officers.

California elected officials have also taken to alerting illegal aliens of ICE operations.

“The City of Perris has received reports of ongoing ICE operations within the area. We urge all residents to remain calm, stay indoors when possible, and know your rights,” Mayor Michael Vargas posted on Facebook.

Other Southern California mayors remain committed to rejecting federal law enforcement.

“We made the determination as a city that we cannot have armed masked men who are not identifying themselves — who the federal government is refusing to confirm are federal agents — running around and conducting this type of activity that is dangerous and volatile,” Pasadena Mayor Victor M. Gordo complained.

“ICE has no place in Long Beach,” Mayor Rex Richardson declared and then wondered. “How do you defend your residents from your government?”

He blasted Long Beach Transit for a memo telling employees not to interfere with ICE operations. “That’s unacceptable,” he claimed. “Fear has no place on our transit system.”

Federal funds of course do.

What actually has no place in the Long Beach Transit system or anywhere in the country is the rejection of the law and the obstruction of federal law enforcement by local elected officials.

California Democrat politicians are moving toward the same kind of illegal conduct, aiding and abetting crimes, and obstructing law enforcement, that already led to the arrests of judges. Worse still, mayors like Bass and Flores, appear to be pushing city employees, including law enforcement, into confrontations with ICE, while others, like Sanchez-Palacios, are even recruiting criminals to fight ICE. This is not a difference of opinion, it’s an insurrection.

When signing her insurrection declaration, Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles said, “I just want to repeat the irony that I am going to sign an executive directive to help the city family understand how to protect the workforce and Angelenos from our federal government.”

Bass doesn’t seem to understand the definition of irony or of the United States of America.

Signing a declaration ordering all branches of the city government to block federal law enforcement isn’t irony: it’s insurrection.

A Cesspool of Halfwits, Nitwits, Misfits, Dipsticks, and Meritless Pinheads.

By Rich Kozlovich 

With every thing they do, every thought they express, says the Democrat party hates America.  They hate Christians.  They hate whites.  They hate capitalism.  They hate traditional values.  They  hate men.  They hate conservatives.  They hate individual liberty.  They hate law and order.  They really hate the Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech, religion, and the right to bear arms.  They only time they embrace the Constitution is when they think they can subvert it as they're now doing with Trump bombing Iran.   And they adamantly and insanely hate Trump and his supporters who they think are insane.  

What do they love?  Insanity!   And the sounds of their own voices, along with any other that wants to destroy America. 

Yet these people who despise America choose to live in America.  Take Ilhan Omar who claims America is becoming one of the worst nations in the world, then it was pointed out Somalia, her nation of birth, still permits slavery.  Perhaps she should return to Somalia, a Muslim controlled nation, and work to end that?  That would be interesting to watch to see what happens when she shot off her mouth condemning the government there as she does here.   

Omar epitomizes the Democrat party.  She hates America, Jews, and openly consorts with and and supports terrorists.  She thinks July 4th should be eliminated and replaced with Muslim Heritage Month, demands Facebook  censor any anti-Muslim content.   I've already experienced with Blogger deleting my articles dealing Islam.  Then there's her immigration issues (here, and here) that for some reason disappeared.  And the reason for that needs to be looked at.   

• Ilhan Omar Gives Treasonous ‘Somalia First’ Speech Confessing to Working for Foreign Nation in U.S. Congress. Representative Ilhan Omar, the Somalia-born Minnesota Democrat, was recorded telling a Somali audience they are "people of the same blood, people who know they are Somalians first, Muslims second, who protect each other," adding she is "here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system."......

These are the same people who hate nukes and yet are demanding the world let Iran have nukes.  Loved it when Obama and Biden gave Iran tons of money, and ended any restrictions on trade giving them the economic wherewithal to fund their terrorist allies and their military with the goal of destroying Israel and America. 

The left has gone ballistic over Trump's bombing Iranian nuclear facilities and are now demanding his impeachment, after all, what did Iran ever do to us?

A rogue federal judge, a Biden appointee, has decided his deportation agenda to protect criminals, overturned by Supreme Court, still stands, and the Democrats are silent.  

The Senate Parliamentarian has decided more parts of the Big Beautiful Bill needs sixty votes.  Where in the Constitution does it mention a Senate Parliamentarian?  It doesn't, and there wasn't one until 1935, and in fact the Senate Majority leader can fire the Parliamentarian.   

FED Chairman Powell has resisted Trump from the start regarding interest rates, but there are other FED officials, and they're not all in agreement with Powell. 

America's great cities are cesspools of insanity. It turns out the City of New York is in love with a radical that makes radicals look sane.   A shock poll suggests that the Marxist-Muslim Zohran Mamdani will be New York’s next mayor.  As Andrea Widburg points out, "unless New Yorkers rouse themselves, the once-great city could be in for a world of hurt".

But the truth is the entire Democratic Party rank and file is already in a world of hurt, and in serious need of medication.  When the ravings of people like Jasmine Crockett, AOC, and James Carville are viewed as rational by them, that's more than enough evidence the members of that party are certifiable.  

•  Chicago Tribune Has Warning for NYC Voters Ahead of Mayoral Primary - On Tuesday, New York City voters head to the polls for the Democratic mayoral primary. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is a prominent candidate in the crowded field, but Zohran Mamdani has also surged in recent weeks in polling. There's a long list of concerns to do with the far-left candidate, from support for socialist plans such as freezing the rent and city-owned grocery stores, but also his defense for pro-Hamas sentiments, including activists like Mahmoud Khalil and phrases like "globalize the intifada." Alarm bells have certainly been going off, including from the media in New York, but also now from other liberal cities. .........
•  NYC Mayor's Race Watch: A Referendum on National Housing Policy? - In this race, one issue is towering above the rest — housing. ..........One candidate in the race, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, represents everything that has gone wrong with New York’s housing politics. He proudly launched his campaign on the claim that “New Yorkers can’t afford to wait for the private sector to solve this crisis.”.........Meanwhile, Mamdani’s broader platform remains openly hostile to private capital. He’s promised to freeze rents for rent-stabilized tenants for all four years of his potential term. That may sound good to activists on TikTok, but it’s economic poison.........

Well, the vote was taken with Mamdani winning the Democrat primary, which means he will be their next mayor.   The Republicans don't even bother to run a primary in NYC.  Curtis Sliwa is the designated candidate.  Cuomo is done for good now, and NYC is going to be a bigger disaster than was thought possible.  And Daniel Greenfield says:

 "This was an election rigged by leftists in a series of ways, from ranked choice voting, to whatever actually happened today. It wouldn’t be the first time an election was stolen in the city. It won’t be the last. But it’s probably the first time it was stolen, not just by Communists, but by Islamic terrorists."

It's been observed, and rightly so, leftists are getting nastier.  However, as David Horowitz observed, “Inside Every Progressive Is a Totalitarian Screaming to Get Out”!  Are they really getting nastier, or are they're so desperate over losing power they’re just not hiding it any longer?  I go for not hiding it any longer.  The foundational moral value of leftism is hate, that's history, and that history is incontestable, they even hate each other.    

The final sentence of the Declaration of Independence includes the explicit recognition of the risk the founding fathers were taking by signing that revolutionary document. 

"And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." 

If you think about the risks he took to run for President, Trump truly has the conviction of the Founders.  A conviction the Democrat party not only abandoned long ago, they're actions are clearly treasonous in intent and action.

Traitors Who Shared the Culture They Worked to Destroy

Traitor Benedict Arnold:

Benedict Arnold is one of the few people from American history whose name has become an adjective. If you call someone “Benedict Arnold,” you are calling them a traitor. (We believe “Biden” will become an adjective for dementia.)

Arnold joined the Continental Army when war broke out in 1775. After five years of fighting, with some Patriot victories, the war was still not going well for Americans. By 1780, it looked to many that the British might win and put down the rebellion.

Yet, Patriots continued risking life and fortune fighting for America’s independence. But not General Benedict Arnold. Believing the British would eventually put down the revolt and angry there was no money to pay him for his military service, on September 21, 1780, Arnold met with British Adjunct General John André, who oversaw the British Secret Intelligence. Arnold was commander of West Point located on New York’s Hudson River and then called Fortress West Point. He offered to give the fort to Great Britain in exchange for money and a high position in the British army.

Fortunately, the plot was discovered, but it devastated George Washington who was Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and had always trusted Arnold. Escaping to Great Britain, Arnold evaded capture. However, André, who was respected by both British and Americans, was captured wearing civilian clothes and soon after was hung as a spy. Many felt it was Arnold who should have suffered that fate. As the war continued, traitor Arnold led British troops against colonists in Virginia and Connecticut.

Following the war’s end in 1783, Arnold remained in England. However, no one respects a traitor, and Arnold was never truly welcomed into British society, nor did he ever receive the money promised to him. Benedict Arnold, a name now synonymous with traitor, died in London on June 14, 1801.

 “Benedict Arnold gave up West Point for a pension, and Jake Tapper gave up the truth for a book deal. And both men will be remembered not for their talents, but for the moment they turned.” — David Manney, "Et Tu, Tapper? The Benedict Arnold of Broadcast Journalism”

Traitor: Jake Tapper

Jake Tapper is a traitor to the American ideal of a free press being the quasi “fourth branch of government” by asking questions of elected officials and providing the people with accurate information. Conservatives viewed Tapper as a traitor since 2019 when he attacked anyone questioning Joe Biden’s obvious mental acuity issues. Now he is also a traitor to progressives who say Tapper’s lack of candor lost them the 2024 presidential election.

Just as Benedict Arnold sought money from Great Britain, Jake Tapper seeks money from the sales of his co-authored book Original Sin where he and Axios reporter Alex Thompson write how almost EVERYONE in D.C. politics and the media knew pResident Joe Biden had dementia. Everyone, that is, except Jake Tapper who is CNN’s anchor and Chief Washington Correspondent.

Tapper can pretzel his words into an aspirin-inducing claim of innocence, but he knew for years that pResident Joe Biden had mental acuity issues. Moreover, since 2019, Tapper attacked anyone who said otherwise … until he and Axios reporter Thompson could make money selling the falsehood that others knew, but they didn’t. (Didn’t Germans say the same following Nazi Germany’s defeat in 1945?)

During the 2019 presidential campaign, it was obvious that Biden’s mind was drifting away from his body. Yet, Original Sin, which Tapper is hawking like a carnival barker, insults all Americans who suffered during Biden’s miserable four years in office when a cabal must have been running the country. (Jill? Hunter? A cabal of communist leaning progressives? It certainly wasn’t the guy who couldn’t walk off a stage.)

We’ve all heard the audio from pResident Biden’s two-day interview (October 8-9, 2023) with Special Counsel Robert Hur. The supposedly most powerful man in the world had a non-functioning brain! As bad as it was to have had the election stolen in 2020 and given to someone with mental acuity issues, “they” wanted Biden to continue for another four years!

Tapper repeatedly lied ...

June 2020: On CNN, Tapper said concerns over Biden’s mental state were “unfounded” and based on “edited clips and disinformation.” < August 2021: Tapper claimed that Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal showed “strategic resilience,” despite televised moments where Biden struggled with clarity.
October 2022: Tapper ridiculed what he called “conspiracy-addled” accusations regarding Biden’s cognition, adding that Republicans were pushing “manufactured panic” ahead of the midterms. 

January 2024: Tapper scolded political commentators on-air, saying that questioning Biden’s mental capacity was “beneath the dignity of political discourse.”

… until he couldn’t lie anymore. Then like Benedict Arnold, Tapper figured he would try to make a few dollars off his lies and write a book.

Interestingly, many on the left (the ones who sleep in pink vagina hats) are livid at Tapper for hiding Biden’s dementia until he could profit from it. Their anger stems from a belief that if this had been made public long before Biden’s horrific June 2024 debate performance, Democrats would have had a primary, found a better candidate and won the presidential election. We vehemently disagree. Between Bidenflation, open borders and the illegal invasion, Democrats would not have won, but that’s what progressives believe.

The next time you’re about to call someone Benedict Arnold because they are a traitor, instead say, “You are a Jake Tapper!”

A Genuine Case of Collusion

When an American Presidential Candidate Made a Deal With Stalin  

By Benn Steil March 19, 2024 @ Foreign Affairs

Editor's Note: I have not asked for, nor have I received permission to publish this in full, but with all the public trash talking from celebrities, politicians and talking heads, I think this history needs the broadest distribution possible in order to clarify which party has been the party of collusion and totally consumed by communists/leftists of every ilk.  RK

It is a virtual given that Russia will try to manipulate the United States’ 2024 general election. Moscow persists in its brutal effort to conquer Ukraine, and one of the two main candidates—former President Donald Trump—has promised to cut American support for the country, while the other, President Joe Biden, is trying to increase it. Russia, then, has every incentive to tilt the contest toward Trump.

The 2024 election will not be the first one Moscow has meddled in. According to a 1,000-page 2020 report by the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee, Russia mounted a systematic effort to ensure an election victory for Trump in 2016. The report did not find that Trump’s campaign engaged in a coordinated conspiracy with Russia, yet it documented extensive covert contacts between Trump campaign advisers and Kremlin operatives. The Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, for example, discussed election strategy and shared internal polling data with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian intelligence officer.

In the wake of the report, Democrats and Republicans sparred over whether the web of contacts constituted “collusion” between candidate Trump and Russia. But whether or not the Trump campaign’s coordination effort met that threshold, an earlier U.S. presidential candidate’s efforts most certainly did. That story has not, until recently, been told.

In 1948, Henry Wallace, the former agriculture secretary, commerce secretary, and vice president under President Franklin Roosevelt, bolted from the Democratic Party, took leadership of a new Progressive Party, and challenged President Harry Truman in the general election. He set out to tar Truman as a warmonger, to undermine his foreign policy, and to convince the American public that the nascent Cold War in Asia and Europe might be ended instantly by a Wallace victory. That meant working secretly with Soviet officials—including the Kremlin dictator himself, Joseph Stalin, from whom Wallace took direction.

CLEAR COLLUSION

Wallace had long been enamored of Soviet “economic democracy” and had insisted that Stalin’s aggressive expansionism was driven wholly by a legitimate fear of Anglo-American “imperialism.” For years, Wallace had pined for an audience with the generalissimo, through which he could establish himself as a statesman of peace. As vice president in March 1944, he asked Roosevelt to send him to Moscow, but the closest he was permitted to venture was Siberia. In June 1946, as Truman’s commerce secretary, he sent a trade mission to Moscow, hoping to go himself later that year as the head of a delegation to consummate a deal. But the mission was a failure. The Soviets wanted only unconditional loans to buy U.S. goods—loans that the State Department would not approve in the absence of better U.S. trade access in Eastern Europe.

In Moscow in November 1946, two months after Truman fired Wallace as commerce secretary, the Associated Press journalist Eddy Gilmore—who would shortly win a Pulitzer for his interview with Stalin—told a young Soviet foreign intelligence officer masked as a cultural information officer, “strictly off the record,” that Wallace wished to visit Russia. But the Foreign Ministry saw no political benefit in soliciting Wallace, now only a private citizen, and Wallace saw no benefit in going as a tourist, having to beg for photo ops.

Yet even as Soviet interest in Wallace rose with the prospect of his running for president, neither side would make a move—until 1948. In the spring of that year, Wallace, now a declared presidential candidate, secretly approached the newly appointed Czech ambassador to the UN, Vladimir Houdek, asking for his help in making contact with Houdek’s Soviet counterpart, Andrei Gromyko. Wallace had met Gromyko several times over the years, publicly and privately, and would have had no difficulty getting an appointment through official Soviet channels. This time, however, Wallace wished to keep the contact hidden. His effort succeeded. In late March and again on April 2, Wallace met secretly with Gromyko at the ambassador’s residence in New York.

The 2024 election will not be the first one Moscow has meddled in.

The encounters between Wallace and Gromyko, as I recently discovered in Russian archival documents, are detailed in a cipher cable that Gromyko sent to Moscow on April 2—a cable designated “Strictly Secret,” a level above “Top Secret.” According to the cable, Wallace, at the March meeting, told Gromyko he wished to go to Moscow, leaving open questions of timing and itinerary. At the April meeting, Wallace explained that he “wanted to come to a definite agreement with . . . Generalissimo Stalin on all major problems of Soviet-American relations.”

To Gromyko, such conceit must have seemed breathtaking. He had some time ago concluded that Wallace was, politically, no match for his own ambitions. But Gromyko believed that Wallace was still valuable as a stooge and might, if used wisely, wreak havoc with American foreign policy—and even help replace the Democratic Party with a pro-Soviet one.

Wallace’s aim, according to Gromyko’s account, was to use his “conversation with comrade Stalin . . . to make a definitive statement to the American people.” He would show “that in the case of his election,” there would be “an agreement with the USSR on such and such important issues.” Wallace, Gromyko wrote, stressed “that his Moscow trip would strengthen his position as a presidential candidate,” but “only if he actually reached an agreement [with Stalin] on important issues.” He therefore wanted “to have a preliminary agreement on certain issues prior to his trip.”

Remarkably, however, Wallace insisted that he did not have any particular issues in mind. Instead, Gromyko wrote to Moscow, Wallace wanted “us to list such issues.” Wallace made clear that he sought no actual concessions from Stalin. Under a Wallace presidency, there was to be no Cold War irrespective of whether Stalin did anything that a responsible U.S. government would naturally expect from a partner in peace. There was to be no Cold War simply because Henry Wallace needed American voters to believe it had been created by Harry Truman and that its cessation required only Wallace’s election. As for Stalin, all he had to do to was write his own sequel to the February 1945 Yalta agreements with Roosevelt, in which the leaders had sketched out the future of Germany, Eastern Europe, and the United Nations. Although no one has ever been convicted under the 1799 Logan Act, Wallace’s talks with Gromyko severely tested its prohibition against U.S. citizens engaging in unauthorized negotiations with foreign governments.

ASK AND RECEIVE

After his first two meetings, Gromyko remained cautious, even suspicious, of Wallace. The former vice president’s open invitation triggered a host of questions, including why he didn’t raise any issues of his own. Even after having “borrowed” and copied Wallace’s private diary during his 1944 Siberian tour and finding nothing remotely suspicious, the Soviets could never quite believe that he did not, like all imperialists, have a hidden imperialist agenda. They wondered whether Wallace might be fishing for intelligence.

Gromyko pressed him. “How,” the ambassador asked, was Moscow “to understand his statement that at present he did not mean to name any particular issues to be negotiated?” Did it mean “that in the future he would be able to name such issues?” Wallace continued to insist that Moscow could name the issues. He offered only that “disarmament” might be “one of such issues.”

With the potential rewards high—the prospect of undermining Truman’s credibility—the Soviets decided to press ahead. When Gromyko and Wallace met again on April 20, Gromyko had a list of issues from Moscow. It had been prepared by Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov, with Stalin penciling in subject headings, crossing out one item (“the borders of the political influence of the USSR”) as an irrelevant legacy of “fascist” thinking, and designating six items as appropriate for discussion before the U.S. elections.

The first of these was the “question of peaceful policy,” which included “the banning of atomic weapons and the introduction of international control over atomic energy.” This was code for saying that the United States should destroy its nuclear weapons before Moscow agreed to any inspection regime. The second was “the question of non-interference into the domestic affairs of other nations,” which included the “preclusion of military bases in the territory of [other UN nations]” and “the use of . . . methods of economic pressure for political ends.” This was code for saying that the United States should withdraw its forces from Europe and terminate the Marshall Plan. The third was “the question of European recovery,” which included “restor[ing] UNRRA” (the UN Relief and Rehabilitation Administration) to its predominant role. This was code for saying that the United States should revert to funding foreign relief and recovery assistance solely through the UN.

Gromyko remained cautious, even suspicious, of Wallace.

Then, the list turned to particular countries. The fourth item dealt with “the question of Germany,” which included “strict compliance with the decisions of the Crimean and Potsdam Conferences” and the “institution of a united peace-loving German democratic government.” This meant that the United States should expeditiously deliver $10 billion in reparations from western Germany and accept the creation of a Soviet-friendly unified German government. The fifth was “the question of the Far East,” including the “withdrawal of armed forces” from China and Korea. This meant that the United States should remove all its troops from Asia. Sixth, and finally, was “the question of Japan,” which included “the creation of a demilitarized, democratic and peace-loving” country. This meant that Japan must not become a U.S. military ally.

Stalin indicated that “the question of the internationalization of the Dardanelles, the Suez, and the Panama channels” could be discussed after the elections, “as well as that of strategic air bases in Greenland, Iceland, Okinawa, etc.” By this, Stalin meant that the Soviet Union and the United States should share power over key global water channels and that Washington should abandon its foreign military air bases. Stalin apparently considered such realpolitik questions too sensitive for open conversation during the campaign.

Wallace listened approvingly as Gromyko read the list. When Gromyko finished, Wallace assured the ambassador that he “had planned [to raise] almost all those issues” himself.

UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR

Back in Moscow, Stalin issued his final approval for collusion with Wallace. But he deemed it politically wise to keep conducting it at a distance. A “trip may do harm,” Stalin wrote in a veto of Wallace’s travel plans. “A statement,” however, “is useful.” He concluded that it would “better be done by Wallace,” with Stalin subsequently “stating his sympathy.”

And so Wallace wrote an “open letter” to Stalin proposing steps the two sides should take to end the Cold War. Some of those steps had been indicated to him by Stalin himself, and I found documentary proof of Stalin’s approval of, deletions of, or edits to the items Wallace penned. Wallace read the letter before 19,000 supporters at Madison Square Garden on May 11.

One week later, Stalin issued his public endorsement. “The open letter of Mr. Wallace, Presidential candidate of the United States third party,” Stalin said, “is the most important document” among those that had been issued since World War II to further the “consolidation of peace” and “international cooperation.” He contrasted the promise of Wallace’s “concrete program for peaceful settlement of the differences between the U.S.S.R. and the United States” with “the inadequacy” of statements from the current U.S. government. He highlighted over a dozen of Wallace’s proposals (the ones requiring only U.S. concessions), concluding that they represented “a good and fruitful basis” for an agreement between the two countries.

When asked by reporters for his reaction to Stalin’s statement, Wallace did his best to put on an air of humility and surprise. “If I have done anything that moves the world further toward peace,” he told them, “I feel that my campaign will have been a success.” Campaigning in California, Wallace proclaimed “that the Russian government is truly prepared to discuss issues on their merit and is genuinely interested in finding a way for the two great powers to live at peace.” He did not mention that the proposals Stalin had singled out were largely those that Stalin himself had put forward.

Wallace’s collusion with Stalin suggests a red flag for 2024.

Some American political figures suspected the two men were working together. Curtis MacDougall, the Illinois Progressive Party senatorial candidate in 1948, wrote to Wallace years later asking whether he had contacted anyone in the Soviet embassy “to make sure your open letter to Stalin would get a reply.” Wallace denied it. “I had no assurances from anyone,” he wrote back, falsely, “and made no effort to get assurances that Stalin would reply to my open letter which was released in May of 1948 but which was never sent to Stalin.”

The FBI, tipped off by a suspicious State Department about possible collusion between Wallace and Moscow, planted agents at the print shop where the open letter had been copied and determined that Wallace had to have had advance knowledge of Soviet public statements. The collusion was thus proved. But neither the FBI nor the Truman administration took action.

This fact may, at first, seem strange. But by the time Wallace had begun working with Moscow, public opinion toward the Soviet Union had toughened, given its aggressive behavior in Asia and Europe, and had soured toward Wallace and his Communist-infiltrated Progressive Party. A poll taken two weeks before the Stalin-Wallace spectacle of May 11 showed that only ten percent of Americans believed the United States should be “more willing to compromise” with the Soviet Union, whereas 61 percent thought it “should be even firmer.” The Madison Square Garden rally may have energized Wallace’s supporters, yet it hardly helped him with the vast remainder of the electorate. “The whole business,” the journalist Vincent Sheean wrote in The Saturday Evening Post, “was simply a mechanism for giving Stalin’s approval to an American presidential candidate.”

Truman, of course, went on to victory in November. Wallace garnered barely a million popular votes and no electoral votes. He came in fourth—behind the Dixiecrat segregationist Strom Thurmond.

Wallace’s collusion with Stalin in 1948, however, suggests a red flag for 2024. Trump has already said that he would end the war in Ukraine in a day. Just as Stalin wanted Americans to believe that peace in Europe meant rejecting support for “Nazi” elements in western Germany, so Russian President Vladimir Putin wants Americans to believe it means rejecting support for the “Nazi” government in Ukraine. Collusion between Trump and Putin in the form of, say, a bogus peace pledge would therefore make perfect political sense. In light of such a real and disturbing prospect, we can only hope that American voters will be as wary, critical, and discerning as those in 1948.

The Worldwide Threat of the CCP: Part II, American Treason

By Rich Kozlovich Tags: Part I, My China Commentaries

 

Since Nixon and Kissinger opened China up to world trade western civilization has been funding China's economy and that has been foundational to China's unending quest to rule the world.  At least to be the controlling economic force creating a worldwide economic/military hegemony that imposes a socialistic tyrannous form of world governance via the United Nations, along with other institutions involved in controlling the world's trade and economic policies, all in favor of China.  However, it turns out many of their partners in this scheme are Americans, traitors to western civilization and freedom.

Let's take Tim Walz, who a lot came out after he ran as Kamala Harris' Vice President, and his relationship with China has been disturbing.  As Daniel Greenfield reported in 2024 Walz has a life long history of glorifying and supporting China's initiatives.

Here's a guy who's referred to as Tampon Tim, and is ‘very unpopular’ in the state in which he's governor, and who "made at least 30 trips to China, many while he was a member of his state’s National Guard."  Now this:

"House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) subpoenaed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday for information relating to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, and a vague alleged connection to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)", saying "his committee received whistleblower disclosures about “serious concern among Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel regarding a longstanding connection between Walz and China."

Is Tim Walz’ a threat to national security?  Clearly Mike Robertson seems to think so saying:

On September 12, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability renewed its request to FBI Director Christopher Wray for all information, documents, and communications in the FBI’s possession related to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) — affiliated entities and officials with whom Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has engaged and partnered. The third hearing on this matter was held on September 24.  During the hearing, experts detailed how the CCP has successfully waged an influence and infiltration campaign targeting critical U.S. industries and politicians..............  The FBI is silent......

Mike McDaniel asks is Tim Walz helping China colonize Minnesota?  And I think the answer is yes, but compared to the Biden crime family, he's small potatoes.

Peter Lemiska states China isn't a competitor, it's a threat to the nation's security, stealing America's intellectual property, ignoring international laws in attempt to expand their control over the South China sea, building a massive military, ruthless treatment of it's citizens, even murdering them to harvest their organs, and these are the people our nation's leaders are allowing the spread of supportive propaganda via the media and academia to mold the impressionable minds of the coming generations.   And Joe Biden and his crime family facilitated all of that.  His open borders polices had been a boon to China allowing the mass influx of fentanyl that's killed or damaged hundreds of thousands of Americans.   

 

Tens of thousands of Chines nationals have crossed over the border with no intention of becoming America citizens, or at least loyal America citizens.   China is buying up tens of thousands of America farmland in order to control our food supply under Biden, who was a gift to the CCP.  

1.  CCP-Linked Company Met Biden, Paid $3M After He Left Vice Presidency Wendell Husebø
2.  Beijing’s Military Hacked U.S. Nuclear Firm Before Hunter Biden Aided Chinese Bid to Acquire It 
3. Hunter Biden, Partners Aided Chinese Bid to Corner Nuclear Energy Market with U.S. Tech, Memos Show
4. Exposed: ‘spy chief of China’ paid Hunter Biden for legal services, but now he wants his money back 
5. Did China Bribe Biden to Protect a U.S. Bank Takeover?

10. BOOM! Oversight Chair James Comer: “IT’S AS BAD AS WE THOUGHT – We Have In Hand Documents That Show Biden Family Was Getting Money from Chinese Communist Party”

And just think, if Joe had just stayed in his basement and didn't run for President, and they didn't corruptly "win" the election through voter fraud, and afterward misuse the justice system, and the power of the federal government to go after conservatives, especially an extremely wealthy popular ex-President, it's more than likely none of this would have come to light.

 

And now the crap has hit the fan, and it's being spread over the entire Democrat party, especially their leaders. I have a recommended theme for a new Trump administration? "Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war". Schadenfreude!

 

Spencer Brown asks why the Department of Defense failed to disclose all the Chinese military companies operating in America?   Why hasn't General Mark Milley, who was leading the charge to destroy America's military, and told the Chinese military he would tell them if Trump was going to attack hasn't been called back into service in order to be court martialed?  Does anyone besides me view this as treason?  What he did was exactly the same as if General MacArthur told the Chinese he would warn them about Truman's plans during the Korean War?  It would have been called treason then, and no sane person disputes that, so why isn't that treason now?

We're seeing all these anti-Trump demonstrations appearing all over the country, and they seem to appear overnight.  Why is that?  Don't these people have jobs?  Yes, they do, they're professional demonstrators, and many of them are being financed by Democrat power brokers with ties to Chinese intelligence. It's ‘blood money' that's been feeding riots for years, and these demonstrators and rioters are paid traitors.

This corruption has been ubiquitous throughout American bureaucracy, and the global warming fraudsters are a part of that, as the climate bureaucrats gave China a free pass while demanding the destruction of America's energy and production capabilities.  How can that be any less treasonous?  

In California San Francisco unanimously voted for an non citizen, Kelly Wong, a Chinese national to be a member of the San Francisco Elections Commission.  I guess that was to make sure all the illegal aliens didn't have their votes restricted by silly American laws.

The tide has turned now, and I'm expecting to see a lot of these people prosecuted, and a whole lot more fired, and it can't happen soon enough.  Understand this is just the tip of the iceberg, there's academia, the media, sports, public education, and the entertainment industries who are also apparatchiks to all of this.  A vast cultural rot!  A death dealing cancer that must be purged. 

America's “Fifth Column”

By Rich Kozlovich

In 1936 Emilio Mola, a Nationalist general during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil war referred to a fifth column at his disposal when it was clear there were only four columns of troops marching on Madrid.  What did it mean?  These were supporters who would undermine the enemy from within the city.  A population who had loyalties they hid from the group.  Individuals who supported efforts against the group they claimed to be a part of.  We would probably call them terrorists today, but most certainly traitors.

Until Trump was elected, and SCOTUS overturned Chevron with the Loper Bright decision, it became the duty of society to obediently ignore obvious, ignore what they could see going on before them, and provable realities.  Inculcated deep within the collective psyche of America we were expected to accepting every bit of horsepucky which the so-called experts, the media, leftist politicians, consultants, activists, and academicians heaped upon us. 

Now it's our duty and responsibility to stand up against things which are unproven or improvable.   To end support of things that are not true, while having the courage to stand up for those things which are true.

Academia is constant groveling before that “sacred cow”, known as government grant money, which has corrupted the universities, and we now know the media has been funded by the bureaucrats to support their continued tyranny over America. 

 

Think about this.  What if the only grant money available was for the purpose of proving there was no such thing as anthropogenic climate change?  I'll tell you what would happen, there'd be a dramatic shift in gears and the information coming out of these self same universities would change overnight.  On August 4th, 2006 an article appeared in the Wall Street Journal by Shirley S. Wang, reporting on a study that researched the potential of bias in science when it is tied to funding.  The finding? 

 

“Studies show that even small gifts create feelings of obligation, and that those feelings can influence subsequent decisions, so why do many researchers feel they're immune to conflicts of interest?” “Just as we fool ourselves into thinking we're more ethical, kind and generous than we are, so scientists can be blind to the very real possibility that their work is inappropriately influenced by financial ties. These psychological processes usually operate so subtly that people aren't aware that such ties can bias their judgment.”

 

Based on the tone of her article she was attacking the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and her points were well made.  However, what about research that is tied to a regulatory agency such as EPA?  Are these researchers any less affected by this same kind of bias? 

The activists have no problem finding problems to whine about.  That's easy, especially when these problems are usually speculative.  You know the kind I am talking about.  So much of their whining is filled with Weasel-words and Phrases.

This could happen or that could happen or maybe something could possibly cause something, someday, somewhere by someone doing anything or something or maybe no one doing nothing or anything anywhere.   

Wow, get your mind around that!  Whining about speculative problems is one thing, fixing real problems is another.  We must remember that every action triggers the law of unintended consequences.  Some consequences are positive and some are negative.  Sometimes both.  

What happens when the fixes they impose on society leads to unintended negative or even vile consequences?  Usually people die.  Yet they go on their merry way as if this is normal or worse yet, acceptable.  DDT is a case in point.  Tens of millions have died unnecessarily over the last 52 years since the ban on DDT and yet they still fight to maintain this ban.  These are adherents of a neo-pagan secular religion.  "Ecotheologians, demanding 'death' on a crowded planet."

“Fifth Columnists” are heroes when they win.  If they lose, they are traitors, either way they undermine society and civilization while proclaiming to the world they are bringing enlightenment, promising utopia, but consistently delivering dystopia.  

We need to start shedding ourselves of these so-called in the media, academia, scientific advisors, government consultants, and bureaucrats, who don’t know whose side they are on.  Then again, maybe these “Fifth Columnists” really do know what side they’re on, and it's not the side of humanity.

 

Illegal Aliens, Gun Control, National Security, and Treason

By Rich Kozlovich

Editor's Note:  I ran this on August 30, but so much more is happening and I've added some important additions, all of which I wish to highlight. RK

On August 29, 2024  Olivia Murray posted this article, Armed with heavy firepower, Venezuelan gang of illegals seizes control of entire apartment complex in Aurora, CO, containing a video showing these young thugs, here illegally, brandishing weapons doing whatever they pleased, and clearly having no fear about doing it.   And they're doing it in a state that has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation.  

If that's true, and it is, how did these illegal aliens get these weapons? 

One thing is clear, the argument by Second Amendment supporters that when guns are prohibited only criminals will have guns is blatantly true.  That has been obvious for so long it shouldn't have to be repeated, but the left still trumpets gun control, which for them ultimately means banning guns.  That is a foundational tenet of leftist ideology.   Why? 

Because the "self-appointed morally superior left  is behind the tyrannies of multiculturalism", and leftists hate America, and Americans!  

Overturning the Second Amendment puts honest citizens at the mercy of the state.  Then obedience follows, and soon there's tyranny with all the power being held by a smaller and smaller number of people in a very short time.  

People who can no longer be voted out of office, just like Maduro in Venezuela.  And none dare call it treason any longer!  The ‘party of freedom’ has an odd view of what freedom means, and the Pravda media supports them.

She goes on to ask:

Is Aurora, Colorado home to our first official “no-go” zone? ......The video was shot in the building where Cindy and Edward Romero lived until Wednesday. FOX31 caught up with them as they loaded up their stuff and moved out.  ‘It’s been a nightmare and I can’t wait to get out of here,’ former resident Cindy Romero said......The Romeros say the trouble started when a large number of migrants began moving in.

How did this happen?

[M]ore than $380 million worth of Shelter and Services Program (SSP) grants will go to local and state governments, as well as NGOs, ‘that are providing critical support such as food, shelter, clothing, acute medical care, and transportation’ to migrants ‘recently released from DHS custody and awaiting their immigration court proceedings.’

This spending comes after Biden-Harris funneled $780 million just last year, and just through two channels (SSP and the Emergency Food and Shelter Program). How much spending is going on elsewhere? (Hint: It’s in the hundreds of billions.) Remember what Representative Jodey Arrington revealed earlier this year? From a Budget Committee press release:

‘The greatest national security threat to the American people is posed by these open borders. The social cost has consistently been well in front of the American people. But I don’t think we’ve talked enough about the financial burden to taxpayers and the fiscal impact.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has done a great job. Studies suggest this [illegal migrant] cost is upwards of $400 billion, but their cost estimate is $150 billion. The lion’s share of that cost is borne by state and local governments. State and local governments can't borrow or print money like the federal government, so they have to balance their budgets by either absorbing this cost through raising taxes or they have to cut services to their citizens.’

It's bad enough these illegal aliens are here in the first place, but they're not only eating up our resources, they're turning the nation into mini criminal states within the states and the federal government is funding it.  

One commenter states, "we live in a bipolar world. Normal people want these thugs arrested and deported. Democrats want to make sure they’re registered to vote. It’s nuts." Democrats Are Freaking Out Over Republicans' Efforts to Stop Illegal Aliens From Voting

All of which was entirely predictable, and we really need to get this.  The Constitution wasn't meant to be a suicide pact, and the founding fathers never dreamed there would be a political party dedicated to the destruction of the nation.    

Now we find out this is part of an international criminal gang that Venezuela's Maduro created.  This was in point of fact a military takeover of these apartments, so the question that needs to be asked and answered is where are the SWAT Teams, or the Colorado National Guard?  Apparently no one has called for them and the Mayor says he loves all these illegals.  I guess this is what "Tim Walz might just consider this “neighborly” behavior."

Update:  9/2/24: CO Mayor Asks for Eviction of Venezuelan Migrant Gang, Gov. Polis Dismisses Problem - Aurora, Colorado, officials are asking the courts to let them evict Venezuelan migrant gangs from apartment buildings, even as Democrat Gov. Jared Polis keeps dismissing video reports of gang takeovers.  Only two days ago, Polis and his spokespeople were telling Americans to ignore their lying eyes concerning video of armed migrant gangs taking over apartment buildings and forcing citizens to turn their rent money over to the gang.

Illegal Alien Gang Takeover of Apartment Buildings in Aurora Is Just a Small Taste of the Chaos to Be Unleashed Against Americans - Most Americans have no idea what’s coming when the invasion forces that have already penetrated and occupied America are given the “purge” activation order to exterminate and replace American citizens. The gang takeover of the apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado is just a tiny taste of things to come. Note carefully that nobody in Colorado law enforcement is lifting a finger to stop the gang invasion takeover. That have given the gangs total legal immunity, just like Big Pharma and vaccines....

Will Colorado fall under the spell of ranked choice voting? - Ranked choice voting is a bald-faced scam, and that is putting it politely. .............In Colorado — aka California East in some circles — ranked choice voting is just another tactic to enshrine Democrat oligarchic rule.  Will Colorado voters take yet another blue pill without asking what’s in it?...........

This is why the Constitution has a Second Amendment providing for and allowing citizens to organize and defend their communities as militias, but that requires a massive change in leadership at every level, otherwise it's called insurrection.  

This out of control criminal activity is rampant throughout the nation, in California illegals are setting wildfires out in San Diego's back country.   

 

 They set up campfires wherever they want. They set wildfires to attract border agents to pick them up and transport them to their destinations of choice. They burn down border vehicles because they don't like the Border Patrol. It's shocking what they will do whenever they want something, given the danger of the fire risk and just how big and catastrophic these fires can get once they get out of control. Sound like the kind of people who might rape and murder, too, once they go through catch-and-release?

And nobody in the Biden administration, let alone his border czar, are doing a thing about the border, not on the sea-side, where illegals ride in through the surf and run through the beachgoers' picnics and beach ball parties, as we have seen, and not on the badlands side where illegals set wildfires intentionally and apparently all of them get away with it.

In San Diego's back county, illegals attempt to hijack two school buses loaded with children - ......highlights just how dangerous Joe Biden's open borders are, what with wildfires started, attempted bus hijackings, beach invasions, rapes, robberies, kidnappings and murders, apartment takeovers (described today by AT Deputy Editor Olivia Murray here) and nobody held accountable for it......Nothing is being done, nothing at all, other than border czar Kamala Harris putting out ads claiming to be "tough" on the border. She actually in charge, though, and now this bottom has dropped out -- school kids unable to go to school by her vaunted yellow school buses because illegals come first.  Any comment from her on this outrageous development? Any media curiosity? Of course not

A nation's leaders are supposed to be the shepherds protecting the flock from the wolves.  These monsters are not only turning the wolves loose on the flock, they're protecting them, in effect the Democrat party is in reality no longer a political party, it's a criminal organization.  Since Kamala and the criminal organization she wants to be the head of is responsible for all this, why would we think they're going to fix it in the future?  

If this isn't treason, what is it?
