Maybe Stonetoss, but I think that's just more a case of nobody wanting to look at it long enough to post it.

AL GORE CASHES IN ON ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’

At the WEF conference, the climate huckster Al Gore went on a rant.

He said we are using our atmosphere ‘as an open sewer’ and trapping as much heat as would happen if we detonated 600,000 Hiroshima bombs every day. He wailed about boiling oceans. He screeched about ‘rain bombs,’ and how we are ‘creating the droughts and melting the polar ice caps and glaciers.

Gore didn’t mention in his unhinged raving that he was wrong about his earlier predictions. He said the ice cap would be gone by 2015. He predicted that in 2009. Nope, ice caps still there. So are the glaciers. I’ve seen ‘em in Glacier National Park. He predicted rising oceans too, but apparently he didn’t believe it himself too strongly because he bought an ocean-front mansion. As for his ‘rain bomb,’ California seems to appreciate having their reservoirs filled.

It was originally about ‘global warming.’ Now it’s about any kind of weather. Warm spell? Climate Change! Arctic front?Climate Change! Too little rain? Climate Change! Too much rain? Climate Change! We’ve had tornados and hurricanes forever, but now each and every one of them are caused by climate change. Gore and his climate change cult are using the weather to fan fear so that we give them money and power to ’solve’ the crisis. It will never get solved because Gore and his ilk are liars. There is no climate ‘crisis.’

Gore’s mansions consume a tremendous lot of energy, and his private jets spew plenty of carbon into the atmosphere. That’s OK, though—he and John Kerry are of a different caste and top members of the climate cult—along with Great Thunberg. They received money and attention and can do whatever they want no matter how hypocritical they are. However, we masses—we lowly, struggling carbon units—must give up driving, gas stoves, meat, and breathing. That’s what it’s really all about : The culling of humanity. They want us to die, but not before we cough up all of our money and freedom to them. They expect us to pay for our own demise.

Gore is not a scientist and neither is Klaus Schwab, John Kerry, or Bill Gates. Why are we forced to listen to these malevolent, dominant voices? Oh, I almost forgot. Money. They are all fantastically rich, which buys them big megaphones and bigger influence, but they are really nothing more than carnival barkers. We need to laugh at them. They deserve our scorn and ridicule, not validation.
Meanwhile, Gore has cleaned up by means of his climate change scam. He now has a net worth of $330 million thanks to his climate ‘companies’ and schemes. That’s what this has always been about : A money bomb, not a rain bomb.

The cartoon “South Park” once had an episode that featured a creature called a “ManBearPig,” that roamed the Earth and attacked humans. Al Gore is the ManBearMoneyPIg.

BIG BABIES SWALWELL AND SCHIFF

The Salt Flows As Swalwell And Schiff Are Removed From The House Intel Committee

California’s Congressman Eric Swalwell once threatened gun owners with nuclear weapons. He was making a point about how big and powerful he was because he was part of a big and powerful government. (Dementia Joe recently made a similar comment). Swalwell had no problem with joking about inflicting mass murder on US citizens. Now he’s crying because he claims he received death threats. I’m not sure what such threats have to do with getting kicked off the House Intelligence Committee, but now he’s playing the victim with full crocodile tears.

He’s not a victim—he’s just a big baby. He deserved to get kicked off his committee after it was discovered that he was sleeping with Fang Fang, a Chinese communist spy. His lame excuse? He proudly claimed his district had a lot of Asians. I guess he felt he was servicing them all somehow by sleeping with a foreign Asian enemy. Regardless, having such a compromised man on the committee was equivalent to President Xi sitting on it. Swalwell now has the gall to complain that he was a victim of partisan politics when House Speaker McCarthy kicked him off the committee. Pelosi kicked off Republicans from committees as a matter of course.

Adam Schiff, also a House Representative from California, is equally angry and upset with McCarthy and vows to get even—and announced he is running for Feinstein’s Senate seat. Schiff used his position on the Intelligence Committee to insinuate he had inside, concrete information that President Trump was guilty of colluding with Russia. He had no such evidence. It didn’t exist. Schiff is a proven liar, but he continued to insinuate that he had inside info about Hunter’s laptop. He claimed with was ‘Russian disinformation.’ Another lie. The laptop proved to be real.

Swalwell and Schiff are traitors and vicious liars who make bags of scum look respectable. Not only should they be off any committee, they should be drum rolled out of Congress.

GET VAXXED – GET SCREWED

James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas only further confirmed what many of us already know:

Big Pharma is hopelessly corrupt.

Pfizer just released a statement ADMITTING that they have been ENGINEERING covid viruses.

In his video, an undercover agent coaxed the truth out of Pfizer employee, Jordan Trishton Walker, who said Pfizer intended to keep their billion dollar Covid cash cow mRNA jabs running by means ‘directed evolution’ of the Covid virus. Endless strains means endless vaccines to sell. Directed evolution is simply a variation of the phrase, ‘gain of function.’ Walker said the original Covid virus was created in the Wuhan bioweapons lab and we already know Fauci funded that lab. (Why isn’t Tony Fauci in prison for mass murder?)

For over 100 years, everyone has been thoroughly trained (brainwashed) to think vaccines are a wonderful medical technology. A magical, er, scientific cure for what ails us. They’re not. They can be extremely dangerous.

One of the reasons Big Pharma now has immunity from prosecution from vaccine damage to humans goes back to the Reagan era. The vaccine makers were being sued out of existence for their harmful products. Big Pharma lobbied Congress and the politicians obliged. Vaccines were considered to be essential to the nation’s health. They must be protected! Science was under threat! Therefore, a bill was signed that gave the vaccine makers immunity. A vaccine court was created. Instead of suing a company such as Pfizer, the case was taken to a national vaccine court and if the plaintiffs won, the taxpayers would fund the payout. What this meant was Big Pharma was off the hook. They were released from accountability and soon became irresponsible. Money became their prime focus, not our health.

You might say regulatory agencies would be there to protect the American people from dangerous vaccines, but Walker also alluded to something we already knew: The government agencies designed to protect us have become a revolving door for Big Pharma. Their former employees end up working at those agencies, or current officials are rewarded with cushy jobs at Big Pharma later on as a reward for looking the other way.

Combine these advantages with the complicit silence of corporate media means Big Pharma enjoys a medical monopoly. The media ignores negative stories and they definitely won’t do investigative journalism to expose Big Pharma because after all, they rake in a fortune in advertising revenue. Politicians are bought out by large campaign donations. Big Pharma attacks and silences those doctors, scientists and whistleblowers who speak out. At universities, the textbooks used by future doctors say little about vaccine science. They simply tell medical students that vaccines are great and to use them at every turn. Meanwhile, new vaccines are constantly being rolled out and pushed. Big Pharma uses TV commercials and other advertising to ramp up unreasonable fear to get people to take more and more jabs. Children are experiencing skyrocketing rates of autism, ADD, asthma, and other maladies, yet Big Pharma continues to suppress the truth that they are receiving way too many vaccines and some all at once at a very early age—before their natural immunity has a chance to form.

Big Pharma and their bought-out mainstream media continue to use the pejorative, ‘anti-vaxxer’ to silence nay-sayers. Many of those pointing out the evil of the Covid vaccines will still say “Oh, I’m not an anti-vaxxer, I believe in vaccines!” Please don’t call me an anti-vaxxer!”

I’m an anti-vaxxer. The vaccine well has been poisoned. I won’t accept a vaccination of any kind. We can no longer ‘trust the science’ — a science that is corrupted and controlled by those who want to thrust their concoctions directly into our bloodstreams so that they can make billions of dollars. People should be very wary about submitting to those shrill voices that are insisting that you get the next Covid poke. The lowest of those low voices cry for mandatory vaccinations. Don’t forget about all of those who wanted to take your choice and your medical freedom away from you! (Jim Cramer comes to mind). The worst vaccine cheerleader, Bill Gates, has spent billions of dollars to fund the vaccine industry and organizations that push the vaccines. Gates believes there are too many people on the planet that he and his ilk own—they want you dead. Vaccines are a good way to achieve that end.

As for those who already got the Covid shots? Shame on them for fooling you. If you get more shots, shame on you for not paying attention.

IT’S TIME TO RESTORE ELECTION INTEGRITY

Without fair elections, our Republic is imperiled.

The true voice of We The People is nullified by electoral corruption. It no longer matters how loudly we complain or how much we support candidates who want to fight for us and protect our freedom if the voting in contested key states is controlled by one party. It often boils down to corruption in a few large precincts within those key states.

When I was a young man, elections were decided on election night. Paper ballots were used. They were quickly tabulated and we all knew the winners before bedtime. This is no longer the case. High tech has been injected into the elections in the form of hackable voting machines. In addition, there is early voting, mail-in ballots, ballot ‘harvesting’ from questionable voting rolls, and drop boxes. As a result, we have a confusing shell game during the count with long and suspicious delays. We saw it occur when President Trump ran against Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Trump had a solid lead, but then there were mysterious late-night counting delays in the key states. When counting resumed, Biden had the lead. His tally inexplicably went straight up and he defeated Trump.

There were many irregularities and eyewitnesses to election fraud, but nothing happened. The courts refused to get involved. Those who complained were labeled ‘election deniers’ by Democrats. During the 2022 midterms, we saw the pattern play out again. There were long counting delays, which led to sudden leads for Democrats. Corporate media said Republicans had no one to blame but themselves because they had fielded ‘extreme MAGA’ candidates. The ‘uniparty’ RINO establishment within the party agreed.

The most egregious cheating took place in Arizona. Republican Kari Lake was projected to be the winner in the state’s race for governor, but voting machines curiously malfunctioned and key precincts long delayed the vote count. Many votes for Lake were rejected. Her claims of election fraud were rejected by the corporate media as being ‘conspiracy theories.’

Voters are losing trust in our election system. We need reform. One patriot who is stepping up to help put an end to the corruption is a Texan named Seth Keshel. Also known as ‘Captain K,’ Keshel is an MBA, is a former Army Captain of Military Intelligence, and Afghanistan veteran.


Captain Keshel has formulated a 10-point plan that will ensure true election integrity:

1. Clean out the voter rolls.
2. Ban all electronic elections equipment
3. Voter ID with paper ballots only
4. Ban mail-in voting
5. Ban early voting
6. Drastically smaller precincts
7. Ban ballot harvesting
8. Election day is a holiday
9. New reporting requirements for transparency
10. Heavy prison sentences for all who commit fraud

Captain K deserves everyone’s attention and support. Follow his videos and help him obtain more reach on social media.

When I was reading Nixonland, it threw me for a loop to hear contemporary anti-war voices talk about Vietnamese casualties. My entire life, it's always been about the senseless loss of American lives, the damage to the American psyche, the effect it had on a generation of Americans... but never the people that actually, y'know... lived in Vietnam.

From what I've heard, the Ken Burns documentary is no exception to this framing.
