Here’s a real gem- The US is taking on N. Korea’s internet censorship.Tantamount to our brilliant Intel’s unawareness that China has developed hypersonic nuclear capable missiles and Psaki responding, “ We welcome the competition”. In a very cheerful manner. Or the constant mantra of “ racism, slavery, Islamophobia, hatred for immigrants”and praising China’s handling of Covid. And silence regarding millions Uygur Muslims in concentration camps, heads shaven, forced abortions, sterilization, organ harvesting, slave labor, a completely homogenous , surveilled racist society … and paying hundreds of dollars for Nike athletic shoes made by child slaves

"In a dystopia, a good memory is just an inconvenience." Someone needs to put that on a billboard and hope the message sinks in.

This is the most remarkable audio that EVERYBODY must hear! Pat Moynihan authored an essay decades ago titled,” The Case To Abolish The CIA”, asserting it should have been eliminated after the fall of the Soviet Union. He explicitly detailed how very abusive, powerful, bloated, weaponized, unaccountable, lawless this unelected entity had become the enemy of democracy. It served to divide, create chaos, spread targeted misinformation, swung elections and selectively targeted people for ruin who questioned it’s intent.

Loving these new audio versions and hope for more, full audio coverage of TK stories would be great. This makes it much easier for me to get through all the content that comes out daily.

The Deep State narrative around the “overwhelming threat” of “White Supremacist Terrorism” and the events of January 6, in the light of the new video showing hundreds of protesters being peacefully ushered into the Capitol should be giving theim a severe case of Insurrectile Dysfunction. And yet, the video is being completely quashed and ignored.

When Garland’s DOJ tried to hide this video at the same time they were effectively granting Andrew McCabe a Presdential pardon, any doubts about the Squid Game should have been permanently dispersed. They are in control, moving us around the board while telling us we have free will.That whole dystopian future?? It’s present tense.

THE DEEP STATE. On October 26, 1994, Morris Dees wrote Attorney General Janet Reno to alert her to the danger posed by the growing number of radical militia groups. He warned the Attorney General that the "mixture of armed groups and those who hate is a recipe for disaster." This was six months before the Oklahoma City bombing. (excerpt is taken from "Gathering Storm : America's Militia Threat" by Morris Dees)

Dees said," False Patriots: The Threat of Antigovernment Extremists," The report noted that members of the groups are generally white, male, Christian, and "bitterly disappointed in what America has become."After Oklahoma City, Reno had the ear of the SPLC, and the FBI and the ATF continually went after people associated with radical military groups creating, Ruby Ridge and Waco. Dees said," False Patriots: The Threat of Antigovernment Extremists," The report said that members of the groups are generally white, male, Christian, and "bitterly disappointed in what America has become."Gun rights, which the right defended, were conflated with racism, and according, Dees, the SPLC, and Janet Reno, pushed the white supremacy movement. Republicans, who supported guns, look like racists to gain power. This movement took off as CRT, Robin DeAngelo, and Ibram Kendi started talking about white privilege.

Much of the rhetoric died down during the Bush administration, but in 2009, the SPLC website said this:

A key difference between today and the 1990s is that the federal government is now headed by a black man. That fact, coupled with high levels of non-white immigration, has helped infuse the militia movement with a strong element of racial animus, which was not the primary motivation in the past.

Another factor in the rise is the proliferation of cable T.V. hosts who are willing to use their platforms to spread and legitimize antigovernment propaganda, such as the conspiracy theory about a secret network of U.S. concentration camps and the unsubstantiated claim that Obama's presidency is illegitimate because he was born in Kenya.

Accompanying the SPLC report is a list of 75 plots, conspiracies, and racist rampages since the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City — a key moment for the movement.

Fifteen years ago, SPLC founder Morris Dees wrote then-Attorney General Janet Reno to warn about extremists in the militia movement, saying that the "mixture of armed groups and those who hate" was "a recipe for disaster." Six months later, Oklahoma City's federal building was bombed. It was the deadliest attack ever by domestic U.S. terrorists, carried out by men steeped in the rhetoric and conspiracy theories of the militias.

"We're again entering some dangerous territory, where violence is a real concern," Potok said. "But this is not just a law enforcement issue. Americans need to reject the politicians and pundits who aid and abet this movement by pandering to its paranoia and conspiratorial worldview."

The SPLC talks as if the "militia movement" was coordinated, perhaps in the collective conscience. The militia groups were a gaggle, but the SPLC movement against militia groups, and the CRT movement are the things that had lawmakers' ears. Guns, racism, patriotic white Christian males, white militias, and now parents that are angry about CRT in schools are a threat to the country. The deep state in Washington are, FBI, ATF, Treasury Department, Homeland Security, and bureaucrats from the state department, that believe the threats to the U.S. are individuals that do not march to the beat of their drum .(narrative) As time goes on, the rhythm of the different drums becomes more different. Something has to get us back in step soon. Maybe they will get rid of the T.V. cable networks that talk about antigovernment narratives.

It appears I'm on the other side of the way most of the commenters get their news, but I can read faster than I can listen. Do you do transcripts of this stuff. Thanks.
