A demonstration group is planning on gathering across from the White House for an event in which they’ll watch the election in progress, and prepare to act accordingly. The name of the group is Shutdown DC, which should give some indication of their intentions.

The group is creepily warning of a “coup”, but as is often the case with leftist extremists, there is a twist, and this time, it involves pointing the finger at their grievance in an obvious attempt at victim-blaming.

Shutdown DC says, “Trump will only be able to successfully launch a coup if his donors, the media and the Republican Party establishment goes along with his attack on democracy,” They then added, “We’re going to put Trump’s enablers on notice: We hold you accountable for facilitating Trump’s historic attacks on democracy.”

Because a “coup” is an overthrow of existing government, Trump cannot achieve a coup, seeing as he is the executive of the existing government.

Natch, businesses in DC have responded to the prospect of leftist riots by preemptively boarding up. After all, if a bunch of pampered babies historically respond to not getting what they want by throwing arson-fueled, violent temper tantrums, eventually the grown-ups around them are going to learn to respond accordingly.

But it’s not just the livelihoods of underpaid Subway employees that are in danger, as the group is considering taking over government buildings. What’s more, Gary Bauer, chairman for Campaign for Working Families PAC, reported receiving an “unsettling call” in which leftist activists have stated their intentions of targeting Trump supporters, including having maps with addresses of groups and people.

It’s obvious that the intention of groups like Shutdown DC and Antifa isn’t merely to voice opposition, it’s to intimidate. They are determined to get what they want, if not through due process or the electoral system, then through other, more disruptive means. More chilling still is that they view you as an enemy, if you so much as voice opposition to them or their goals.

Rioters are the militant arm of the left, which the career politicians can implicitly enable while keeping their own images squeaky-clean. They are aware that if supporters can be attacked and donors can be doxxed, enough of them might back down to make a difference.

However, the militant left and their Dark State enablers are underestimating Americans. We know what it’s like to experience pain when we do what we do. We’re the ones who get nicks and burns from a hard day at work. We’re the ones who take the risk of getting injured while skateboarding, or similar recreational activities. We’re the ones who play outside even if there’s a possibility of breaking a bone or getting sick, because that’s a risk intrinsic to living life.

The militant left is composed of a bunch of lanky kids or overfed marshmallows whose view of injury and combat are informed by movies and video games. Because of this, when they see someone screaming because they were hit by a car (after playing in traffic), or when they see someone bleeding out after they were shot, it’s much different from how they imagined it would be. They have to greatly outnumber their opposition in order to get some damage done, which would make them the NPCs in a game mechanics perspective.

My advice is that if you can reasonably avoid confronting the militant left, avoid them. It may be a one-sided fight in your favor, but fights like this are best avoided. What’s more, corporate media loves to take any resistance to them and turn it in their favor, so don’t give them more to work with. We’re used to being held to a higher standard, anyhow.

Of course, if they attack your home or family, that’s a different story. Sadly, it seems like the militants’ intention is to provoke a response by doing just that.

It’s hard to avoid an escalation when the militant left wants it. We have to remain strong.

Above is an example of a meme produced by a leftist. While such low-information influencing is pretty shallow and easy to see through for the appeal to ignorance that it is, it does provide something of value, albeit in a way they didn’t intend. What they’ve provided is a window into their own thinking.

What the meme above shows is that leftists, when producing memes to share among themselves, actually do believe themselves to be the oppressed underdog. The case for that can be made, if one were to put aside the left’s institutional control of academia, banking cartels, labor unions, the tech industry, social media, Hollywood, the corporate music industry, television networks, government intelligentsia, the Internal Revenue Service, and the mainstream information media.

Leftists have an obvious victim complex. However, while most victim complexes are developed, the left is interesting in that their victim complex is cultivated. This is exemplified by their continual grievances through social justice causes: women are said to be underpaid even though the gender wage gap has been thoroughly debunked many times, racial minorities are said to be under onerous systemic oppression in spite of institutional programs specifically-designed to give them a hand-up, and elements of sexual diversity are said to be repressed, even though corporate entities are going well out of their way to accommodate them.

On the surface, belligerent complaining about a problem that’s greatly exaggerated if at all existent makes little sense. However, when a significant portion of the population is convinced of the problem’s persistence there is political ground to be gained. In light of this, it becomes abundantly evident that the social justice issues are being propped up for their own self-continuation.

In nature, animals that feel sufficiently threatened usually run. However, if it becomes evident to them that they cannot escape, then they turn violent. The same is true of people. The higher-ups of the Dark State realize this, and see the value in convincing their constituency that there is a threat, and not only that, that there is an enormous right-wing conspiracy that threatens to undermine decades of civil-rights progress, and that the outlook is grim. From there, it’s a trivial thing to drive them to fanaticism.

Thus, we see the militant bloc of the extreme left in ANTIFA, who can easily agitate demonstrations held by less-dangerous groups. As riots continue out of control, the militant pawns do the dirty work of committing the acts of terrorism that drive the docile into fearful submission, all the while the upper-class enablers continue on without getting their hands dirty.

The unpaid influencers of the extreme left have no idea how powerful the left really is. If they did, it would become evident to them that they are not the resistance, nor are they a group of rebels, nor are they anti-establishment in any way. The main difference between them and their corporate counterparts is that the corporate influencers are actually being paid, and quite enough to live well.

If you want some fuel to think about how powerful the left really is, compare where the world is now to where it was a year ago. A virus emerged on the scene. The virus turned out to be about as bad as one we already had. But we didn’t shut down entire countries over the flu.

With the assistance of the corporate media, the left was able to shame people into wearing masks in public, and feed into the panicked hysteria with sensationalized stories. With the assistance of social media, anyone who so much as said the wrong thing about the virus was immediately censored. Having developed lists of industries arbitrarily deemed “non-life-sustaining”, smaller businesses all over the world were closed, many of them never to open again.

Even now, countries are responding to an increase in coronavirus cases with renewed shutdowns, in spite of the World Health Organization recommending against lockdowns, and warning that such shutdowns would lead to an increase in global poverty and child starvation.

Odds are, you or someone you know had their household income reduced or eliminated over the left-wing response to the coronavirus. If so, this puts you in a pretty good position to understand the kind of power the left really has, and how callously they’ll wield that power, even to the detriment of the vulnerable.

And through it all, they have the backing of legions of snots out to justify anything they do with memes.

It takes no courage to criticize one who will not punish you for it.

Glenn Greenwald, co-founder of The Intercept, has stated his intention to resign from the news organization in a letter published on Substack.

In his letter on Substack, Greenwald noted the tipping point as being The Intercept’s decision to censor information in an article he authored covering the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.

He has posted the original version of his article on Substack.

Greenwald has joined a growing number of journalists who have noted with dissatisfaction the clear left-wing bias of corporate information outlets, which as of late have collectively become pseudo-arms of the Biden campaign.

While corporate media has long held biases, they have become increasingly shameless in their biases, making little attempt to enshroud them in a veneer of objectivity.

When news outlets refused to cover the Hunter Biden laptop scandal because it doesn’t conform to their personal biases, that’s disingenuous. But when they attempt to make it out to be a hackjob or Russian misinformation, they are lying. In either case, they are not anyone you should want informing you.

Glenn Greenwald has been resisting the systematic censorship of his corporate media outlet for a long time. The Intercept’s attempts to censor the content of its own co-founder is ironic considering that they had previously covered the story of the whistleblower, Edward Snowden.

Now, The Intercept is being rejected by its own co-founder, which should give you an idea of how far they’ve fallen. As they are now, they are indistinguishable from much of the rest of the corporate information media, which claims to “side with their audiences”, but in reality they just pander to themselves.

One who observes nothing can learn nothing.

Another black man charged at an officer with a knife, and the man was killed in the resulting exchange. Now, BLM is holding “protests” in west Philadelphia.

These protests are coming complete with the torching of police cars, and throwing garbage bins at cops. Which I admit is an effective way for the group to demonstrate their virtues.

So far, at least 30 people have been hurt, illustrating their ability to have safe, peaceful protests.

In yet another brilliant display of pyrotechnics, fireworks were detonated mere feet off the ground among buildings in the city.

There are also reports of a Rite Aid being looted, because what better way to stick it to the man than making off with off-brand vitamins and some toys made with cheap plastic that melts in daylight?

Similar demonstrations in places like Portland, Oregon have continued for the better part of a year. What can I say? These guys really know how to keep a party going.

Being the law-and-order candidate that she is, Kamala Harris already promoted a fund to bail these protesters out, so they can return to the streets and continue to amaze us as trailblazing paragons of left-wing valor.

Are we sick of this, yet?

Currently trending in searches is the phrase, “can I change my vote?”, as noted by President Donald Trump in the tweet pictured above. But what does it mean that this phrase is trending at all? It would seem like voter regret is a thing.

But voter regret takes on a new dimension with mail-in voting, where people can cast their votes through the postal service. But then, as the campaigns continue and more information becomes available to voters, they may have a change in heart, even after their votes have already been cast.

Why would people be interested in changing their votes, now? It may have something to do with the fact that leaked information, confirmed by U.S. intelligence, found that candidate Joe Biden thinks little of using his political influence to profit financially off overseas energy companies, then threatening U.S. energy jobs by reducing fracking.

Early information shows that Joe Biden is winning, but this is skewed by reason of the fact that we’re only seeing mail-in ballots so far, which Democrats are generally in favor of. Matters are likely to reverse on Election Day, when Republicans who view in-person voting as more dependable would show up. Because the trending phrase concerns changing votes already cast, it would seem like Democrat voters are the ones interests in changing their votes, which were presumably for Biden.

The bad news for Biden, as Trump points out, is that in most states, changing a vote that was already mailed in is allowed in most states. If you’re curious as to how you’d go about doing that, now would be a great time to look into the rules for changing your vote in your state. There’s only one week until Election Day.

This election is important because it’s a potential referendum, not just against establishment politicians, but also against mass-market media, tech companies, and social media who through manipulative practices attempt to cultivate public opinion. This may even be our last opportunity to keep an anti-establishment President in office, since the political dynasties of old are not likely to allow it to occur again, just as the DNC was not willing to give Bernie Sanders a chance after grooming Hillary for years.

It seems like something big is coming. At this point, the question of whether we are prepared for it may be totally irrelevant.

After claims of Russian interference regarding the Biden laptop were shot down by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, legacy media’s story about the emails contained thereon has became that they were faked. Now, the emails were confirmed again by the recipient of some of the emails.

It’s as though for every lie that legacy media can invent about this laptop, the truth has an immediate and powerful answer.

What Biden’s former business partner tells us is that Joe Biden himself was offered a 10% stake in a Chinese business deal, and that Hunter aggressively leveraged his family name to make millions while Joe Biden was Vice President.

Considering that we’re are in a trade war with China and are on the verge of a major conflict with them, for a Vice President to make trade deals with the Chinese doesn’t just come off as a conflict of interest, the man himself seems to be a threat to national security!

This comes just a day after it was revealed that Giuliani filed a police report over the laptop providing evidence of child endangerment. This batch of recent developments isn’t just a bombshell, it’s a firebombing!

The business partner pointed out that the deal was seen by the Chinese as “political or influence investment “.

So, at a time when tensions are high between America and the Chinese, nearly to the point of conflict, a Presidential candidate has made deals with the Chinese where they benefit with political influence. That sounds really interesting.

If you already voted for Biden by mail, and are just now finding these things out, I can imagine your regret.

You might have heard conservatives and those on the political right called “fascists”. It’s evident that the term fascist in this context is used as a snarl word to be hurled at someone the user strongly disagrees with, and is not a proper use of the word to describe the target’s political ideology.

Put simply, fascism is a brand of authoritarianism with an emphasis on collective action. Putting that difference aside, any generality that applies to authoritarianism applies likewise to fascism.

The word fascist originated from the Italian word, fascio, which means, “a bundle of sticks”. The implication is that a stick on its own is weak, and prone to breaking easily. However, when a bunch of sticks are bound together, they’d be a lot stronger than they would be separately. The implication is, stronger together.

Let’s make some direct comparisons in an effort to figure out just how fascist conservatives really are.

• Conservatives favor a free market, while fascists favor a command economy.
• Conservatism is driven by individual interest, while fascism is driven by collectivism.
• Conservatives believe in the rule of law, while fascists believe the government can be above the law.
• Conservatives believe a constitution should provide the framework for how the government operates, while fascists oppose such a solid framework.
• Conservatives favor individual liberties, while fascists believe government has the final say.
• Conservatives are free speech advocates, even if it doesn’t favor their ideology, while fascists favor the suppression of dissent.
• Conservatives favor religious liberties, while fascists usually only favor ideologies useful to them.
• Conservatives are capitalistic, while fascists are socialistic.
• Conservatives believe in limited government, while fascists prefer that government should impact every aspect of one’s life.

From everything we see above, it should be evident that not only is conservatism not fascist, everything about conservatism makes it fascism’s mortal enemy. This would explain fascism’s historical efforts to wipe conservatism out, along with anything resembling a constitutional representative republic.

Understanding this, it’s ironic to consider Antifa’s origin as an arm of Communism, and that their insistence on collectivist socialism makes them the fascist authoritarians they pretend to fight against.

No one can govern you unless you let them.

The hits keep coming, don’t they?

Remember the laptop that’s been getting Hunter and Joe Biden in hot water over their overseas connections? Now it seems like it’s vintage bad news for Hunter, as Rudy Giuliani has filed a police report over evidence of child endangerment on the laptop, and the laptop is now in the hands of the FBI.

By Delaware state law, a person is required to come forward if they believe in good faith that a child is being abused or neglected. Giuliani’s complaint concerned evidence of what he called an “inappropriate sexual relationship”.

I can imagine that Hunter Biden would be sweating bullets, now.

But he wouldn’t be the only one. Rudy Giuliani had previously indicated that more material would be on the way, including that which would explicitly implicate Joe Biden himself. When a reporter had questioned Joe Biden about the laptop, he brushed off the question, even going as far as avoiding public appearances until it was time for Thursday’s debate.

Speaking of, the topic of the upcoming debate was supposed to be foreign policy. But since the laptop reveals, the topic has changed. Therefore, Trump has pointed out that the debate commission is helping Biden, which they obviously are.

What’s more, in yet another example of the Dark State at work, legacy media is doing what they can to keep the laptop stories buried. This includes the classic tactic of blaming the Russians right off the bat, as though that were the first bullet in their chamber. Just afterwards, the FBI and DOJ point out that no evidence exists to back up their claim. The Director of National Intelligence himself pointed out that there is no evident Russian connection.

It would seem as though Hunter Biden really had his laptop dropped off at a repair shop, forgot about it, and it contains data with the potential to sink a Presidential run. Now it’s in the hands of the FBI, and some of the contents may be evidence of activities that are highly illegal.

Oops.

I know that Donald Trump is not the ideal candidate, but if your interest is in normalizing the sexual abuse of children, you’re now much more likely to see Joe Biden as your rational pick.

I wonder what it’s like to believe in a man’s efficacy as a leader, but also see the need to insulate him from the intellectual criticisms of another man.

In the biggest antitrust case in over a decade, Google is being sued by the Department of Justice for antitrust behavior.

The tech giant has been making deals with cell phone companies, including Apple and Samsung, for Google’s namesake search engine to be the default for cell phones. The DOJ alleges that this behavior blocks out search engine competitors from being the default on these devices.

To say that Google is enormous is not an understatement. Not only do they have the most popular search engine in the world, they have numerous applications and services, including YouTube and Gmail, which are ubiquitous.

If you wonder how Google makes money by offering their products and services free of charge, they do this by collecting enormous amounts of data on everyone who uses these services, whether they have a Google account or not. This information is then sold to advertisers who use this information to serve you targeted ads.

It’s likely that Google already has an extensive profile on you.

I’ve warned before that the extensive information collected by tech companies and social networks is already in the hands of those who can abuse it. This information includes, but is not limited to, search engine terms, the websites you visit, the links you click on, the tabs you have open, how long you have them open, among other things. Using this information, they can determine things such as medical conditions you may not have been diagnosed with, possible mental illnesses, and perhaps even sexual preferences you may not be aware of.

If Google got into the business of blackmail, we’d pretty much all be screwed.

While the antitrust suit has bipartisan support, it’s notable that each of the eleven Attorneys General joining the case as plaintiffs are Republican. This indicates a certain hesitance of Democrats to get on board, regardless of their stated agreement with the development.

The fact is, Google has been a key player in the Dark State, having a strong left-wing bias that becomes evident in how they target right-wing content, while promoting left-wing content and propping up legacy media.

What’s more, their hyper-popular search engine plays a significant role in Google’s cultivation of public opinion. This is achieved by omitting certain pages from search results, and providing search term suggestions that clearly indicate their biases.

The reason I’m interested in the outcome of this court battle is because Google exercises way too much influence over public opinion for a privately-owned business. What I’d like to see is for the company to be broken up, and an end to come to their shady deals. Or at least for them to stop abusing their position of power to influence public opinion.

Because as they are, Google are less like librarians, and more like book-burners of the digital age.

Francia Raisa, who donated a kidney to Selena Gomez, has complained of a harrowing experience on the 405 freeway, in which she was boxed in by Trump supporters, and tormented by reason of her Hispanic heritage.

She didn’t provide evidence of the tormenting itself, but she did produce a tearful Instagram video while driving, so the only crime she provided evidence of is her own distracted driving.

What was really happening was that a caravan of Trump supporters had formed en route to a fundraiser event. She happened to be using the road at the same time they were, so she ended up surrounded by people who have opinions that aren’t her own. Apparently, her mind was not strong enough to emotionally withstand the presence of people with differing viewpoints.

I share this story because Francia’s account provides an interesting look into the mind of the kind of person that leftism attracts. The kind that entertains paranoid fantasies to the point that they perceive them as reality, and they devolve into a sort of paranoid schizophrenia.

Racists are everywhere! Misogynists are around every corner! Plots congeal in the shadows! Don’t go anywhere alone, because gang-stalking!

When someone gets to the point of thinking like that, if they were to end up surrounded by Trump supporters, they might perceive their very presence as an attack on themselves.

The Dark State feeds into paranoid delusions because they stand to benefit from bringing people to the point that they shut themselves off from reality. What’s more, they face no repercussions from doing so, similar to how a cult can get away with damaging the minds of its adherents under the guise of a religion.

So, someone was surrounded by Trump supporters, and she believes they boxed her in and made fun of her. That Was Actually The News?
