The Morning Report - 4/15/21 [J.J. Sefton]
— Ace Open Blog



Good morning kids. Thursday and the nation formerly known as the United States of America continues slouching towards the gulag and the mass grave with perhaps the rest of the formerly free world not far behind us. It is a bitter irony as well as an indication that hell has frozen over (climate change debunked!) that I find myself in agreement with the crooked, venal degenerate who was installed as commander-in-chief via a stolen election in finally getting us the hell out of Afghanistan. The cynic in me thinks he'll just move them to Syria or some other third world shit-hole where we are hated and that has absolutely zero strategic value or where our national security and interests are advanced. The other thought I had, which is not cynicism but fear based upon events still unfolding, is that the troops will be brought back home to assist in nation-building, or more accurately, nation rebuilding - that is, putting down resistance to the final transformation of the former USA into a socialist rump state protectorate of the People's Republic of China. But I digress.


The other half of that bitter irony is that the party that is supposed to represent conservatism and the real American people represents neither. Joe Biden may be the Senator from MBNA, and now the Pu-Yi of Pooh-Xi, but much of the GOP represents the great states of General Dynamics, Raytheon and Northrop-Grumman. Liz-ard Cheney is in freakout mode that daddy's and her stock portfolios are going to take a hit when the need for more cruise missiles, tanks, and body bags disappears. 


"[So-called quote-unquote 'president'] Biden’s decision hands the Taliban and al Qaeda a propaganda victory, abandons our global leadership position, and plays into our adversaries’ hands,” said Cheney, a critic of former President Donald Trump and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney -- along with House Democrat Rep. Jason Crow (CO) -- fought to prevent the Trump Administration from drawing down U.S. forces from Afghanistan, sponsoring legislation to make a drawdown more difficult. 


Max Boot, a Never Trumper and champion of the 2003 Iraq War, penned an op-ed in the Washington Post that warned of a fall-of-Saigon scenario. "If Biden pulls out as planned in September absent a binding peace settlement, he will be consigning them to the same fate as our abandoned South Vietnamese allies. The fall of Kabul could be as ugly as the fall of Saigon,” he wrote...


Max Boot's complete stupidity and ignorance is radiant. The people, politics and especially the culture of South Vietnam circa 1965-1975 is nothing like Afghanistan circa 1979-present. Then there's General David Petraeus, who actually gives it away: 


Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus, who served as CIA director and commander of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, also slammed the decision. "Ending U.S. involvement in an endless war doesn’t end the endless war. It just ends our involvement. And I fear that this war is going to get worse...”  


Did you get that? An endless war without our endless involvement evidently is catastrophic. Mostly to his paymasters' bottom lines. "And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for? Don't ask me I don't give a damn. Next stop's AFGHANISTAN..." 50 years later and everything is upside down. The generals really are bloodthirsty Jack D. Ripper, Buck Turgidson psychos itching to get our hair mussed, but good. Finally, dig this from fey fraudster Lindsey Graham: 


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of the Senate’s leading hawks, called the decision "a disaster in the making” and "dumber than dirt.” 


"A full withdrawal from Afghanistan is dumber than dirt and devilishly dangerous. President Biden will have, in essence, cancelled an insurance policy against another 9/11,” he said in a statement, pushing for a residual counterterrorism force as an "insurance policy.”


An "insurance policy against another 9/11?!" Aside from the fact that our southern border has been all but erased and that full-on Islamikazes were caught there not two weeks ago, between the Pulse Nightclub, San Bernardino, Fort Hood, Times Square (barely averted) and Calypso Louie's own disciple last week in the Capitol and dozens more, I'd say the odds of another 9/11 attack originating from a cave in Tora Bora or a hookah bar in Kabul are infinitely less likely than one originating in, say, Minneapolis or Dearborn. And yet to even say that is to be branded with the dreaded "Islamophobic" label and blackballed. Meh, it'll become a hate crime punishable by imprisonment in the near future. 


Look, Joey Bivalve is obviously not the one making this decision. He's supposedly going to be addressing Congress and he can't even address an envelope. Aside from snarkycism, I wonder what Obama/Jarret is really thinking with this move. Also, considering the Russians are about to invade the Ukraine and China is itching for any pretext to try and grab Taiwan, this withdrawal from the Afghan will soon be forgotten. That is, if the warmongers allow him to actually withdraw the troops. Funny how insubordination at the DoD/JCS was a thing when President in exile Trump was C-in-C. Has it returned? 


Speaking of broken clocks being right twice a day: 


CNN camera crew members were attacked during a protest where Black Lives Matter supporters gathered outside a police station in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening and were forced to retreat from the scene after repeatedly being assaulted.


"Man part of CNN crew for CNN reporter @miguelmarquez was hit in the head by a protester at the #BLM protest in Brooklyn Center, Minn,” journalist Andy Ngo, who covers far-left extremism, wrote on Twitter. "He falls to the ground from the assault.”... 


...During the violent Black Lives Matter riots that rocked the U.S. last summer, far-left extremists attacked CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, shattering windows and throwing explosives inside the building as law enforcement officials guarded the lobby... 


...On Monday night, a man walked up to a CNN reporter who was covering a riot and unloaded on the network, saying the network twists stories. "What I think about this, it’s all the press and all the extra s*** y’all do, makes this worse,” the man responded. "When people want to protest, they shouldn’t do it in front of a f***in’ police sta–, yeah, court house, s*** like that. You get what the f*** I’m saying? Y’all need to get up out of here with all that twisting that the media and s***.”


The man later dismissed the reporter’s comments that they were on live air, saying, "I don’t care if you’re live or not, get away from here with all that media s*** that y’all doing.”  


The schadenfreude is glorious, but alas, I fear, short-lived. If these sub-literate droogs ever were able to put two and two together and not have it add up five with the new "anti-racist" arithmetic, oh boy. Sadly, that is not a strong possibility given the state-run Sportin' Life Media-Culture Complex handing out the poisonous Marxist Kool Aid for decades now. Meanwhile, SCOTUS is about to be packed with four more Ginsburgs, DC the 51st state, and the cop who slaughtered Ashli Babbitt will not be charged while the woman who tragically ended the life of a Minneapolis thug, ditto Derek Chauvin, are going to get railroaded. I'm no special pleader for law enforcement, not these days when for most, preserving their paychecks and pensions trumps morality and ethics. But the aforementioned are just depressing.

    Bloomberg thinks this is a bad thing. And they approvingly quote absolute pychopaths:
    "Every time I see an article attacking social media companies—and they deserve it—I think it’s more important to go after the companies that are hosting terrorist material,” says Rita Katz, founder of SITE Intelligence Group, a nonprofit that tracks terrorist activity online. "There’s already a good recipe that was used for ISIS. Why don’t you use it on the far right?”
    Because, you rabidly insipid sea pickle, ISIS didn't just write bad words. They raped, kidnapped, tortured, murdered, and enslaved their way across the Middle East until they were stopped.

    That's not protected by the First Amendment. Speech is. Even yours.

    I got this link from Slashdot, which once upon a time espoused views ranging from the libertarian to the anarcho-capitalist. The commentariat now mostly treats 1984 as a cookbook.

Racist Extremist Organization BLM Says Any Criticism of Its Grifter Marxist Founder is... Right-Wing White Deviltry
— Ace



Black Lives Matter put out a statement on Tuesday in reaction to the revelations that co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors purchased amulti-million dollar home, and questions as to whether BLM was the source of the funding that enabled that real estate buy.

The statement claims that the source of the revelations about the home buy, which were first reported in Dirt, are from conservatives who seek to do Khan-Cullors and her mission harm. Many conservatives, including Candace Owens and Jason Whitlock, were simply horrified that an avowed Marxist would be indulging in capitalistic luxuries.The statement reads that:
 

"Patrisse Cullors is the Executive Director of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF). She serves in this role in a volunteer capacity and does not receive a salary or benefits.

...


"To be abundantly clear, as a registered 501c3, BLMGNF cannot and did not commit any organizational resources toward the purchase of personal property by any employee or volunteer. Any insinuation or assertion to the contrary is categorically false.

"Patrisse's work for Black people over the years has made her and others who align with the fight for Black liberation targets of racist violence.

"The narratives being spread about Patrisse have been generated by right-wing forces intent on reducing the support and influence of a movement that is larger than any one organization.

"This right-wing offensive not only puts Patrisse, her child and her loved ones in harm's way, it also continues a tradition of terror by white supremacists against Black activists.

...
 

"We have seen this tactic of terror time and again, but our movement will not be silenced."

 
Well now the way that the National Man-Boy Lincoln Association raked in money was not by drawing a big salary from their Teen Dating Organization, but rather by having the NAMLA pay the (largely fake) companies created by the founders for their services.

Notice the lawyered-up statement speaks only of direct salary -- and conspicuously avoids mentioning monies paid to Cullors indirectly.

Does Patrisse Cullors happen to have a "business" that Burn, Loot, Murder might launder its payments to her through?

Oh wow what a shock, she does in fact have several such businesses that BLM pays for their dubious "services"!

The consulting firm ofBlack Lives MatterGlobal Network Foundation co-founder Patrisse Cullors pulled in over $20,000 a month while she served as the chairwoman of a Los Angeles jail reform initiative.

According to campaign finance data, Cullors' consulting firm, Janaya and Patrisse Consulting,received a total of $191,000 over the course of 2019 via payments from Reform LA Jails –also known as Vote Yes on R.

Cullors started the consulting firm with her spouse and BLM co-founder Janaya Khan. Cullors was listed as "principal officer" and "business owner" on the reported payments.

 

The first of the seven payments happened between January 2019 to the end of June of that year, where Cullors’ firm received $51,000, an FPPCreportfrom the time detailed. Four more payments that totaled $60,000 werereportedin a following filing that covered between July 2019 and the end of September 2019.

So in other words, this grifter organization and its grifter founder lied about what monies they'd received from BLM in order to hide the fact they were making bank from it.

I'm sure that this will soon be blamed on White Devils.

In other Burn Loot Murder news:

BLM riots are now expressly racist-purge affairs, with their crazed criminal adherents shouting that they're going to find and beat all the white people they can find:

The Public Employees Who Worked on Killer Cuomo's Book During Work Hours Say They Were Ordered to Do So
— Ace

Killer Cuomo claims that these public employees, paid by the taxpayers, working on his book during work hours, did so "voluntarily."

They say: It depends on what you mean by "voluntarily."



When news broke that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo used government staff to help produce a for-profit book, his spokesman asserted that the arrangement was legal: The work was performed voluntarily, he said, and was not a misuse of taxpayer-funded resources.

But several current and former Cuomo staffers, or people speaking on their behalf, disputed that their work on "American Crisis” last year was truly voluntary. Instead, they told the Times Union the work was expected within the culture of Cuomo’s office, and that book-related assignments were made in the context of normal, daily duties.

One former staffer, who was among those asked to perform tasks related to Cuomo’s book, said there was a "clear expectation that we would do political work to help with his campaign and run the governor’s personal errands in the Executive Chamber.”

"It was not optional,” said the former staffer, who spoke on condition of not being identified."It was considered a part of your job. Everyone knew that you did what was asked of you and opting-out was never really an option.”

This is against the law, of course.

But the law hasn't applied to the Imperial Class in quite a while, has it?

Kyle Shideler wrote on Twitter:

Ben Sasse: "Americans are blessed to have the IC it has." Republicans sucking up to IC bureaucrats is so infuriating.

The Democrats never do this. They are hard on the IC and demand things from them in an oversight capacity. Republicans too often just want to give them all a big patriotic hug.

The GOP Establishment is nothing but an institution-protection racket, and all guilds, as you know, are conspiracies against the laity (that is, those outside the guild).

It doesn't matter how corrupt these institutions have become. The party is bought and paid for, and is an old, dying dog that is incapable of learning new tricks.

From the serial vouchings of Andy McCarthy for any warm body in the DOJ to the continued slavish service to corrupt, anti-conservative corporations, the party is prisoner to failed and lethal ideas and cannot, and will not, be reformed.

The California Senate Elections Committee just voted to doxx anyone signing the recall petition against corrupt Imperial Governor Newsom:


A bill to expose the name and address of everyone who signs a Recall petition just passed the Senate Elections Committee. California's counter-Enlightenment marches on.

28 Republicans Vote to Confirm Biden's Ambassador to the UN
— Ace

She proclaims that "white supremacy is weaved into\ our founding documents and principles."



It's absolutely useless -- counterproductive, in fact -- to support or vote for this corrupt corporatist party, and I will no longer be doing so.

Get your votes where you get your money, GOP -- from the Chamber of Commerce and the boards of Fortune 500 companies.

That should add up to, oh, about 5,000 total votes you could possibly get. But of course, 95% of them will vote for Democrats.

Goodbye and get fucked.

Most Still Say Biden "Won" By Cheating; Most Prefer Vote Integrity Over Ease of Voting
— Ace

The public doesn't buy the Democrat Media Complex's narrative (and the Establishment GOP/Conservative, Inc.'s narrative) about a fraud-free election


By a margin of 51%-44%, voters said it is "likely” that cheating affected the outcome. That included 74% of Republicans and 30% of Democrats.

Some 47% said it is likely Democrats stole or destroyed ballots for former President Donald Trump. That included 75% of Republicans and 30% of Democrats. An even 50% said that it is unlikely ballots were destroyed.



Concerns about cheating have plagued President Joe Biden ever since Election Day. In November, a Rasmussen Reports survey found 47% of voters believed it was likely that Democrats stole votes or destroyed pro-Trump ballotsin several states to ensure that Biden would win. An overwhelming majority of GOP voters believe Democrats cheated in 2020. Republican officials have responded by launching an election integrity project to make it "easier to vote and harder to cheat.”

Asked which is more important, making it easier for everybody to vote, or making sure there is no cheating in elections, 60% of Likely Voters say it’s more important to prevent cheating, while 37% said it’s more important to make it easier to vote.

Only 22% of voters say it is currently too hard to vote, while 34% said it’s too easy to vote, and 41% say the level of difficulty in voting is about right.

Majorities of all racial groups – 59% of whites, 56% of Blacks and 63% of other minority voters – say it is more important to make sure there is no cheating in elections than to make it easier to vote.

Likewise, majorities of all racial groups – 64% of whites, 59% of Blacks and 58% of other minority voters – reject the claim that voter ID laws discriminate against some voters.

62% reject the Democrat Media Complex/Corporate Senate insistence that requiring an ID to vote in an election is racially discriminatory.



Sixty-eight percent of Americans want Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, according to a newTIPPpoll.

The online survey asked the question:"President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and President Biden's brother, James Biden, are allegedly under federal investigation for tax and financial matters. Do you agree or disagree that Attorney General Merrick Garland should appoint a special counsel to manage their cases independently of the Biden administration?"

Here are the results, released Tuesday

  • 42% agreed strongly.
  • 26% agreed somewhat.
  • 7% disagreed somewhat.
  • 6% disagreed strongly.
  • 18% were uncertain.

The poll also found:

  • 85% of Republicans support the appointment of a special counsel.
  • 65% of Democrats want one.
  • 66% of independents also want a special counsel.

The poll, conducted March 31-April 3 surveyed 1,436 people. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

The article notes that Bill Barr, who completely hoodwinked and swindled me, supported his Inner Party allies and disclaimed any need for an investigation into this corrupt alleged ****phile drug addict.

Meanwhile, Democrats admit that their polling -- like the polling of the media -- consistently overstated Biden's support, and might have actually been worse than the polling in 2016.

Gee I wonder why.
