1. Trudeau’s campaign leader quits, Singh sings as his party burns, Vancouver zombie land, Montreal homeless theme park and other fun facts of Canada’s complete and utter decay as the communist revolution consolidates:

   • I loved listening to Justine speaking with the young steelworker in Sault Ste. Marie — when the steelworker spoke of his lazy neighbour and Justine said “Canadians support each other” LOL LOL LOL Well except if you are a “fringe minority, misogynistic, unvaxed, who should not be tolerated”

     What did the young global leader and WEF sidekick Singh have to say about “supporting” the truckers?

     Does anyone remember the RCMP dragging the pastor down the highway? What did the NDP members say about that —“He should have done what he was told”.

     The writing is on the wall, the World Economic Forum / Canadian politicians / traitors / liars MUST GO

2. I don’t remember the stat, exactly, but for every rise in the unemployment rate there is a disproportionate rise in suicides:

   How is it that our country turned into some kind of theme park spook ride, a cheesy-looking haunted house of programmed frights, howling holograms, phantoms with their hair on fire, doors slamming open on glimpses of hell, ill-winds and foul odors, climaxing in a tableau vivant of death-in-life neverending?

   I’m sure that this will surprise you, but you can choose to be sane. How? You take care of your business conscientiously; you steer in the direction of what is true and away from what is false; you find purpose in your existence by discovering your talents and using them in ways that do not bring harm to other people; you seek the company of kindred spirits. . . love the one you’re with. . . work hard so you can rest easy. . . express your gratitude for being here. That’s a start.

   If you prefer being insane, there’s always the current incarnation of the Democratic Party, dedicated to gaslighting the nation into ruin. Of course, at this point — the point of extreme desperation — the Dems are just running interference for the distraught intel-Globalist blob. The blob’s agenda has been thwarted, overwhelmed by runaway debt and drinking too much of its own propaganda Kool-aid. A great deal of that has entailed the commission of crimes, which always implies the possibility of having to pay for them.

   Russia is about to roll up on what’s left of Ukraine. Our State Department neocon division thought it was wicked-smart to start a little action there in 2014, to provoke Russia into a ruinous war against NATO (the game: “Let’s You and Him Fight”) in order, theoretically, to wreck Russia and depose Mr. Putin. Didn’t work. Do you know why? I will tell you (it’s really simple): Russia’s leadership is more intelligent than ours, and far less psychopathic. They perceived correctly that we were only wrecking ourselves.

   Ten years later, the Ukraine caper draws to a humiliating end for our neocons, and a ruinous end for NATO and the EU. So far this year, it appears that “Joe Biden’s” party has ceased paying attention to Ukraine. The pretty yellow and blue flags have all but disappeared — except in Massachusetts, we noticed, the most highly “educated” and most deeply insane state in the union. I’ll be interested in how Kamala Harris explains our Ukraine war policy in Tuesday’s presidential debate. Defending democracy, I suppose.

   The governments of the major EU nations stupidly followed the bidding of America’s psychopathic neocons and now they ‘ll have to answer for it as their people awake to the destruction of the EU nations’ economies. Early elections will be called and globalist stooges will be swept away. The turmoil will rhyme with the chaos of 1848, a year of revolution. NATO, finding itself not just purposeless but toxic to Europe’s well-being, must dissolve as members on the periphery withdraw, some seeking to join the BRICs economic bloc. Germany, France, and the UK get sucked helplessly into a new great depression and social turmoil as they contend with many millions of hostile migrants.

   Here in America, you can already hear the fake anguished cry of “Russia, Russia, Russia” echoing out of Merrick Garland’s fake Justice Department. We’re to understand that the Russians are coming for our election — more gaslight — when it’s actually the Democratic party, led surreptitiously by its lawfare cadres, Norm Eisen, Marc Elias, Andrew Weissmann, Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, et al. Their many courtroom pranks have failed against Mr. Trump. Judge Chutkan was bloviating in the DC federal court this week to generate a little heat on MSNBC, but her case has a wooden stake through its heart and Xs where its eyes used to be.

   Up in New York, Judge Juan Merchan pretends to wrassle with whether or not to start Civil War Two by remanding Mr. Trump to Rikers Island on September 18 (I doubt that happens). In the event, though, I believe Mr. Trump might simply say, “No thank you,” and go about his business running for president. That would be a counter-prank I’d be eager to see. Who gets in the act then? Federal marshals? The FBI (ha!)? The Supreme Court term begins the first Monday in October. They could have something to say about the steaming pile of horseshit that was Alvin Bragg’s and Mathew Colangelo’s case. (Also, Weissmann’s, Eisen’s, Monaco’s, and McCord’s.)

   Gawd knows where things might stand after next Tuesday’s great debate. The rules are pretty stringent. No candidates questioning each other. No audience. No confab with staff during commercial breaks. The mute buttons will be on. Without her “I’m speaking” routine, Ms. Harris has. . . zotz. All Mr. Trump really has to do is be polite for 90-minutes.

   More than a few people, meanwhile, are beginning to ask who is running the country, since “Joe Biden” is mostly off-duty, beaching it, not attending cabinet meetings, and probably not being consulted on any number of matters being carried out in his name. Are you comforted to know that the US government is on auto-pilot, a colossal, menacing machine run by ghosts?

7. Arms Trade Treaty: The United Nations Can’t Hide The Stench Of Failure!
   Ammoland Inc. Posted on September 6, 2024 by Alan Chwick, Joanne D Eisen & Gary Mauser

   Opinion by Gary Mauser, Alan J. Chwick, & Joanne D. Eisen
   United Nations Epic Failure
   United Nations

   Failed Disarmament: 105 years of disarmament efforts have failed to bring peace as nations can’t trust international agreements for security.
   Arms Trade Treaty Failure: The UN’s ATT has been ineffective due to poor cooperation, trust, and funding issues.
   Civilian Disarmament Concern: The UN’s focus on disarming civilians is misguided, risking greater insecurity, specifically for America!

   The year 2024 marks the 105th year of attempts to create global peace through “collective security” via disarmament and, consequentially, the 105th year of the failure of unilateral disarmament. Recognition of this failure is widespread. Collective security requires disarming countries so that international disputes can be resolved through negotiation and arbitration.

   Disarmament has been difficult to achieve for many reasons, primarily because few countries feel they can solely rely upon international agreements for protection. There is a near-universal belief that the mere possession of weapons confers safety on a state. The universal concern is that weakness will invite attack. Few countries (or individuals for that matter) are willing to abandon their own arms in exchange for promises that might not be kept.

   After the First World War in 1919, the League of Nations was established by the Treaty of Versailles, with disarmament, according to Jari Eloranta, as “its most fundamental goal.” It failed because the League of Nations was not “able to guarantee that peace would last.” The United Nations was established in 1945, just as the League ceased to exist. The First Committee of the UN General Assembly continues to tout collective security and to perpetuate the UN doctrine of seeking world peace through disarmament.

   Responsible citizens must examine and accept the painful fact that arms control and disarmament attempts, promised to lead to peace, have foundered. The refusal of the ostensibly well-meaning weapons-control advocates to consider other paths to global stability and peace is not acceptable. Unilateral disarmament is not the only alternative to constant war and habitual violence.

   Hints abound that disarmament may not be the best way to motivate peaceful behavior internationally, but the intense and unwavering dogmas of unelected global leaders who seem to worship disarmament blocks significant examination of other and possibly better peace-making behaviors. Arms control is not the only path toward peace.

   We believe that mankind can find paths to peace that maximize human freedoms while dealing with human frailties without resorting to disarmament. Mankind must seek and find these alternate paths if we care about the success and survival of our progeny and our planet. The threat of global war shouts to us that the dream of disarmament for peace is just too dangerous to cling to. A century of propaganda pushing disarmament has resulted in a century of failure. The first step towards finding an alternative path to peace is to understand why the UN’s disarmament efforts have failed.

   ARMS TRADE TREATY FAILURE

   All citizens should be concerned about the failure of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT or Treaty), which originally was intended to limit larger weapons systems possessed by countries, but the UN also turns its gaze on popular firearms owned by individuals. Continued arms control failures and successes should concern us because the UN is demonizing common weapons owned by civilians. For the UN, it appears to be a matter of going after the weapons that seem easiest to control.

   Rebecca Peters, former director of the International Action Network on Small Arms, and intimately connected to UN Weapons control policies, states in the UN Chronicle magazine, “Disarming civilian populations is more difficult than disarming governments…it is arguably more necessary.” More recently, in New York City, on June 18, 2024, Under Secretary General Izumi Nakamitsu told diplomats at a conference related to small arms, “A peaceful and sustainable future depends on addressing the threat of small arms and light weapons.” All civilian-owned weapons are in their sights. This view conflates terrorists, criminals, and responsible citizens.

   The tenth anniversary of the UN’s Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is a good time to evaluate its success since the ATT first entered into force on December 24, 2014. Recent events show that the Treaty is not able to keep its promises of limiting arms, nor of world peace. It is also obvious that some in the United Nations recognize the painful truth that the ATT is a grand failure, but the UN is loath to admit it. And the failure of the ATT is just another example of the greater failure of the UN at which we should take a long and hard look. Weapons control through the ATT, on the way to weapons bans, on the search for global peace, just is not happening.

   Here are the latest developments that led to that conclusion.

   The President of the Tenth Conference of States Parties (a.k.a. CSP10) of the ATT, H. E. Razvan Rusu, the Romanian Ambassador to the UN, admitted to the failure. He said the Treaty process was no longer able to function as promised.

   On February 9, 2024, Ambassador Rusu released a working paper to the ATT delegates and other interested people that stated that the theme of the Tenth Conference was The Role of Interagency Cooperation in the Effective Implementation of Arms Trade Treaty Provisions. Rusu’s report is a gentle way of alerting the world to the failure. Although interagency cooperation is not part of the Treaty, without cooperation from various government agencies, the ATT delegates could not continue to make progress. They needed to take a break from Treaty work and fix the problems that needed fixing before they could resume work on the actual Treaty.

   Ambassador Rusu indicated that individuals and related entities were not cooperating in a way that would promote peace as promised, and until they could, work related to the ATT goal was at a standstill. In effect, he complained that major changes were required before the treaty delegates could get back to their primary job of furthering arms control as the path to achieving global peace.

   This could be almost any organization suffering from uncontrollable internal and external dysfunction. But it’s a microcosm of societal challenges at the global level, a sad reminder of our very faulty species. If mankind has a path to peace, it is not through disarmament, no matter how wonderful that may sound, how many people believe it, or how many times disarmament proponents might repeat it.

   WHO AUTHORIZED RUSU’S WORKING PAPER?

   It became immediately obvious that a mere diplomat appointed by his country’s leaders, even at a senior level, would not have the authority to decide to reveal such a damaging judgment. Rusu described a “brainstorming workshop” on January 17, 2024, in Bucharest, Romania, involving the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), the Conflict Armament Research (CAR), and the Stimson Center. Paul Holtom, the Head of Conventional Arms and Ammunition Programme at UNIDIR, wrote a 32-page report describing that workshop.

   UNIDIR, the Stimson Center, and other pro-weapons-control activist groups already knew about the severe problems regarding the uncontrolled diversion of arms into secret markets and knew that the diversion of arms was also plaguing the ATT. But now, the problems facing the Treaty itself were so crippling that the UN and their disarmament cronies knew that they had no choice but to reveal these problems to the world. They needed to control the information and the consequences of public knowledge of the failure.

   And that explains why Romania and its UN diplomat, Razvan Rusu, were used to expose the failure. The UN and the disarmament community needed to go public, but in a low-key, non-shocking manner. They are not abandoning their loathing for weapons, but they can no longer cover up the failures of peace through weapons control.

   Holtom, in his report for the Stimson Center, revealed that there were multiple problems. Ignorance and incompetence was rampant among participating individuals and groups. Holtom discovered widespread misunderstanding of the ATT process and goals; too many delegates admitted not having enough responsibility or were reluctant to share responsibility. He also found examples of poor communication and cooperation between government entities in judicial, defense, foreign affairs, and other related areas of government. Holtom also admitted there might be a lack of basic technical knowledge because of such a simple thing as staff turnover. Many things required change if the Treaty was to be implemented, and so the apologia by Paul Holtom delves directly into changes that are necessary if the Treaty will ever begin to at least appear to be fully functional.

   In short, the Stimson Center’s attempts to switch the blame to normal government functioning and away from ATT’s intrinsic problem with a philosophy that has been unworkable for over 100 years. UNIDIR desperately needs to ignore the very rational fear of unilateral disarmament to which participating states are subject and to focus instead on the typical structural and communications problems that plague all governments and that ideally might be fixed once noticed. Only an irresponsible international organization like the UN could imagine that restructuring the culture and function of government to conform to the needs and goals of the Treaty is a feasible idea, just requiring ever more time and funding.

   If Treaty failure could be passed off as the result of poor communications and common procedural problems within the participating states, then the more intractable problems, like the lack of international trust and massive resistance to disarmament, could more easily be hidden behind a facade of busy-work.

   THE ENIGMA OF ATT FINANCES

   By creating a treaty that required self-funding from treaty participants, the UN considers that the ATT was not worthy of official funding. Otherwise, this lack is not easy to explain. If the UN believed that the treaty was the way to peace, why would they neglect to fund it properly?

   In a report by Dumisani Dladla, then head of the ATT Secretariat, we find the simple truth. Referring to membership dues that pay for the function of the ATT, he says, “The ATT is building an annual deficit of 7% on average, which will be rolled over into next year’s budgets. The implication is that liquidity challenges will materialize in the medium term if outstanding contributions remain unpaid.”

   A crucial problem for the ATT is that funding is also required to aid poorer countries to function on a higher level, for example, regarding the initial and annual reporting requirements. However, sufficient funding was not available. We are told by Rachel Stohl of the Stimson Center that, “the most heated debates within the CSPs have been budgetary related.” Additional funding would help that problem quite a bit – enough money to reduce the scramble for scarce resources.

   Additional funding would not lessen the existing lack of trust. A small increase would, however, allow the Secretariat to focus on producing improved yearly weapons reports. More importantly, funding would allow UNIDIR to continue ignoring the fact that members simply do not want to give up their state secrets and do not accept the ongoing process of disarmament.

   Disarmament is not what cooperating states signed up for, as they require security more than an imposed peace. And security is not forthcoming from a magician’s top hat because of a promise. But UNIDIR claims that more available money would ease the concern and mistrust of officials in a few participating states.

   DISARMAMENT LEADS TO VIOLENCE

   What countries know is that they require a promise of safety and stability that engenders confidence that it will likely to be kept. There must be a firm and believable promise of security from attack by nations who have not yet disarmed, and if attacked, rescue must be immediate if promises are worth anything. However, countries know that no such promise can possibly be valid, except in the dreams of disarmament proponents. What does exist is the stuff of nightmares. Unilateral disarmament has been dangerous to the naive states who have attempted it, and simultaneous disarmament of the entire globe is not possible.

   In January of 1994, Ukraine signed the Trilateral Agreement with Russia and the U.S. in which Ukraine, with promises of peace, would give up all of their original Russian nukes which remained in Ukraine after the fall of the USSR. The world knows the rest of that story.

   Then there is the Libyan example of broken promises. On December 19, 2003, in exchange for the promises of peace and financial aid, Libya and the U.S. signed an agreement for Libya to give up all of its nukes. Those promises meant nothing. On March 14, 2011, as the ATT was getting written and just three years before it entered into force, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton backed the bombing of Libya and the destruction of the regime, leaving Libya a failed nation for all to see and remember. After Gaddafi’s death, his son, Saif al-Islam surmised, “it’s a good lesson for anybody…that you have to be strong, you can never trust them…and you have to be on the alert. Because those people, they don’t have friends. Over one night, they change their minds, and they start bombing … and the same thing could happen to any other country.”

   Why, after Libya’s experience, would any country now trust the statements of arms control proponents who promise peace after disarmament? Neither the ATT nor the UN can address the problem of state security because their promises cannot be kept. Perhaps the UN and its member states should concentrate on providing security and good governance instead of demands for disarmament that promises peace but too often leads to violence without anyone responsible for rescue.

   Where is the empirical evidence to support claims that disarmament leads to a stable world peace? Are there factors that predict peaceful outcomes, and what are they? Research during the late twentieth century pointed to out an alternative path to unilateral disarmament. The work of R.J. Rummel suggests that “The most important fact of our time is that democracy is a method of nonviolence… democracies do not make war on each other.” See his book ‘Power Kills: Democracy as a Method of Nonviolence‘. The UN might meddle a bit in the internal workings of failed or failing states and even send in their blue helmets, but according to the UN Charter, it can never question or control the type of governance in member states, including whether or not they are democratic. This limitation may be a UN blind spot that has worked to encourage non-democratic governments.

   So the facts remain. The path chosen for the ATT has failed. Even if the UN and other disarmament proponents create a facade of renewed function, no one may realistically expect a successful outcome. Rather than rely on a philosophy that sows failure, why not reject the fake promises of disarmament and search out other paths towards that elusive goal of global peace?

   Why do we cling to UN vaporous mandates? We must choose a better path towards species survival. Such paths appear to be elusive ways, and we need to remove all blinders to find them.

   How will the UN react to the failure of the ATT? Anyone who understands and respects the protective value of weapons need to keep watch! The Stimson Center again signals that there will be minimal change if any.

   On August 19, 2024, just before the tenth Conference would begin, Rachel Stohl, Research Director of the Stimson Center, opines;

   “In the current global context, the ATT faces a pivotal moment…A decade of treaty implementation has revealed shortcomings in current modalities, practices, and approaches…all stakeholders must be willing to learn and innovate from these early lessons, including in terms of reorienting Conferences of States Parties to meet new priorities, expanding treaty scope to respond to changing contexts and technological developments in arms, and working together to raise common standards and understanding of obligations.”

   She concludes, “As we move to the second decade of the treaty, preserving and improving the ATT will depend on overcoming the expanding deficit of political will.”

   With unelected, unaccountable members who are unwilling to examine the undeniable truth that their philosophy is a failure, what’s the United Nations’ response?

   Business as usual!

8. Sen. Kennedy: We Need ‘Idiot Control’
   By Tom Knighton | 8:30 PM | September 05, 2024
   AP Photo/Alex Brandon

   Every time some mass murder happens, someone will invariably call for restricting the rights of those who had nothing to do with what happened. The argument, at least as presented, is that if we had more gun control then the killers couldn’t have gotten the kind of guns they used and if they couldn’t have gotten those, then the murders wouldn’t have happened.
   Advertisement

   It involves some very selective memories to hold onto that thinking, of course, but here we are.

   And a lot of Republican lawmakers seem hesitant to punch back at these calls out of concern for seeming callous or insensitive.

   Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana, however, summed it up perfectly on Newsmax recently, though.

   Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., argued against the need for more gun control laws Wednesday during a recent interview on Newsmax, stating that the real problem lies in “idiot control” following a tragic school shooting in Georgia that left four people dead.

   In light of a tragic school shooting in Georgia that claimed the lives of four people, Kennedy appeared on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren” to express his opposition to the possibility of liberal cries for new gun control legislation. Kennedy said that the U.S. does not need more laws regulating firearms but instead must focus on addressing those who abuse their rights under the Second Amendment.

   “It’s horrible. We’ve had a number of mass shootings this year,” Kennedy said. “I don’t think the answer is more laws. We’ve got hundreds, maybe thousands of gun control laws on the books. I don’t think we need more gun control. What we need, obviously, in my opinion, is more idiot control.”

   Kennedy went on to explain the difficulty of managing individuals who act out in violent ways, stating that it is almost impossible to control people who are mentally unstable or inherently evil in such a large country.

   “I don’t know how to control people who are sick or just evil in a free country as big as the United States of America, over 300 million people,” he said. “You can just do the best you can.”

   Advertisement

   Now, “idiot control” isn’t a serious policy proposal, but it touches on where the problem really lies. It’s a people issue, not a gun issue.

   If you take away every avenue for obtaining a gun–something that’s impossible, by the way–then you simply make the violent look elsewhere for ways to kill people. In 2016, a terrorist used a truck to kill 86 innocent people. That’s more people killed than at the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting in Las Vegas where the killer had AR-15s equipped with evil bump stocks.

   By focusing on the guns, you’re ignoring that the common denominator in all mass murders is the mass murderer. That’s where we need to devote our efforts. That’s who we need to be addressing.

   It’s not an answer to take away one method of mass murder and just pretend that mass killings of other sorts are perfectly acceptable. I say this as someone who has felt the loss from a mass shooting. I’ve been there, but I wouldn’t have felt better if they’d been killed in a truck attack or a mass stabbing. The problem then was not the tool but the tool using it.

   That’s the problem now and what the problem will be tomorrow.

9. Father of Alleged Apalachee High Killer Charged With Murder
   By Tom Knighton | 8:30 AM | September 06, 2024
   AP Photo/Jeff Amy

   Georgia doesn’t have a mandatory storage law of any kind. We’re told this is a problem because it means there’s nothing to stop parents from being irresponsible with their guns and allowing their troubled children to have access to them.
   Advertisement

   Now, mandatory storage laws only work to punish people after the fact as many people are going to be unaware that locking up their guns is required, but we’re told we need those or else there are no repercussions for irresponsible parents.

   And Georgia has no such law.

   Yeah, about that…

   Georgia officials charged the father of the suspected Apalachee High gunman with two counts of second-degree murder Thursday — the most severe ever filed against the parent of an alleged school shooter. The arrest came less than 36 hours after two students and a pair of teachers were gunned down with an AR-15-style rifle that, investigators allege, the man allowed his 14-year-old son to possess.

   Along with murder, Colin Gray, 54, was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter and eight counts of cruelty to children. His son, [the alleged killer], has been charged with four felony counts of murder.

   The father “knowingly allowed him to possess the weapon. His charges are directly connected to the actions of his son,” Chris Hosey, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said at an evening news conference where he provided no other details on what led to the charging decision — or its remarkable speed.

   There were warning signs before Wednesday’s attack, according to law enforcement officials and family members.

   A year ago, local investigators interviewed Gray and his son about alleged online threats the teen had made to shoot up a school, accusations that [the alleged shooter] denied at the time. This week, the boy’s aunt, Annie Brown, told The Washington Post that the teen had been “begging” the adults around him for mental health support in recent months.

   Before Thursday’s announcement, the teen’s grandfather, Charles Polhamus, said he wanted Colin Gray charged along with his son.

   “If he didn’t have a damn gun,” Polhamus said, “he wouldn’t have gone and killed anybody.”

   Advertisement

   The alleged killer’s family on his mother’s side seem to have been rather public about how the boy was severely troubled and had been crying out for help. It seems those cries were literal rather than a euphemism for red flags.

   Regardless, those cries were not heeded, which puts at least some responsibility on the parents.

   We also have to remember that when the FBI spoke to the family in 2023, Colin Gray told them that he had some hunting rifles but that his son didn’t have access to them. Either something changed in that time, which is unlikely, or he lied to the FBI.

   Now, I’m not going to absolve the FBI. Ryan Petty has a great piece talking about that from Thursday and you all should read it. However, if Gray lied to agents and local law enforcement, that’s on him.

   It seems that despite the visit from law enforcement, Colin Gray bought his son an AR-15 for Christmas later that year.

   Still, the charges against Gray are significant. He’s being charged for murders he actually didn’t commit, but we saw this before in Michigan with the Crumbleys. Plus, it’s not unusual to charge people with a homicide someone else commits when their own actions contributed. For example, the getaway driver in an armed robbery can be charged with murder even though he stayed in the car.

   One can argue this isn’t all that different.

   Especially since he bought a gun for a kid who was apparently screaming out for help, who had been visited by the FBI after allegedly making a threat to carry out a mass shooting, and absolutely nothing was done.
   Advertisement

   The problem here wasn’t a lack of background checks or the lack of a mandatory storage law. Even an assault weapon ban wouldn’t have done anything because Gray would have just bought another gun for his son, most likely. Laws weren’t what failed here.

   Gray failed. He failed as a parent.

   Buying your kid a gun is one thing, but when they need help, get them the freaking help they need. There’s no shame in getting that help and the stigma against mental illness needs to be removed. People who need help should get it. This tragedy might have been averted if a 14-year-old who had been crying out for it had actually gotten it.

10. BREAKING NEWS: The Socialist International Endorses Kamala Harris for the 2024 Presidential Elections

    The Socialist International, the worldwide organization of social democratic, socialist, and labor parties, has publicly expressed its support for Kamala Harris’s candidacy in the upcoming U.S. presidential election on November 5th. This is another step in recognizing Kamala as an extreme left-wing leader.

    In its official statement, the organization declared:

    «From the Socialist International, we proudly support @KamalaHarris in her candidacy for the upcoming election on November 5th. We are confident that she will make history as the first female President of the United States.»

    From the Socialist International, we proudly support @KamalaHarris in her candidacy for the upcoming November 5th elections. We are confident she will make history as the first woman President of the United States.

    Desde la Internacional Socialista, apoyamos con orgullo a… pic.twitter.com/4OSY8vzUj2
    — Socialist International (@Soc_Intl) August 23, 2024

    This endorsement could significantly impact Harris’s campaign, as she seeks to make history as the first woman to reach the presidency.

    Unfortunately, there are Hispanics living in the U.S. who support and identify with far-left candidates like Kamala, despite the fact that these individuals come to the country seeking freedom and prosperity. Harris aims to regulate public market prices and promote policies that only communist Cuba or Maduro’s Venezuela would consider implementing.

    On Friday, Dershowitz followed through and announced he is now a registered Independent.

    Dershowitz blasted Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and said he is disgusted by what happened at the DNC Convention in Chicago last month.

    “I am no longer a member of the Democrat party,” Dershowitz said.

    Dershowitz said what really pushed him over is how the Democrats conducted their convention in Chicago.

    Pro-Gaza protesters took over the streets outside of the DNC convention last month.

    Joe Biden praised the pro-Gaza protestors and said they have a point.

    “Those protestors out there in the street, they have a point. A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides,” Biden said last month.

    Biden goes off-script at the DNC:

    This is a major mischaracterization of the protestors. These are people who don’t care about the hostages, who support… pic.twitter.com/S4oqW3yeMl

13. The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is in Colorado, Texas and New York City among other places, they are busy creating chaos and helping the Radical Left destroy US culture and advance the Lefts goal of destroying all of the nations that use to be Western Civilization. They are using the tactic of being so brutal to civilians and carrying out a kinetic war against the police in the hope that the police will be scared enough to either withdraw from the areas where TdA operate or turn brutal and are brutal to everyone so everyone turns against the police.

    This is a variation of the tactic the communist guerilla forces in South America used in the 60s and 70s. Their goal was turn the government so oppressive everyone would join the revolution. I don’t think any of the revolutionary groups that were using this tactic every had it work, the governments often turned oppressive but the people didn’t revolt. We will have to wait and see how this turns out here in the US but I note that they are sticking to the big cities instead of the small towns where there are large numbers of gun owners who would resist.

    Earlier this year TdA was given orders from their leaders in Venezuela to attack US police when the opportunity arises, I can’t find a website to back up the report from the FOP on FOX that so far this year 281 officers have been shot this year. An earlier report said that one has been shot every 21 hours this year. Given the lack of support the big city governments for the police this is helping the left draw down the number of police officers in the big cities so there aren’t enough to investigate the serious crimes.

    Things are going to get worse the closer to the election and much worse once President Trump is elected.

    Keep your powder dry and your muskets clean you may need them.
