It’s insane to me how a traitor who commits espionage, sedition and fraud is free to continue having his MAGA Klan hate rallies.
“What all of our elites have in common is a reason to fear social media. Legacy media hates social media for disrupting their business models and competing with them for influence.”
This is the difference between democracy and mafia.
For us, criminal acts are disqualifying. For them, they are leverage for control. We are functioning as a mafia state.
Why? WHY is Chris Christie’s Bridge Gate attorney still at the helm of the FBI? It makes zero sense.
Why WHY is DeJoy still head of the Post Office just as we are coming to another election that he can destroy?
Four Years Later, Kavanaugh Probe Still Raising Questions
https://www.law360.com/articles/1533616/four-years-later-kavanaugh-probe-still-raising-questions
The FBI gathered a huge file on Kavanaugh through its tip line & handed it with a bow to Don McGahn at the White House. It then became an oppo file to control Kavanaugh. Who has that file today? Surely Donald Trump has a copy. McGahn likely too.
Why must the American people be forced to tolerate this obscenity?
He lied to Congress, under oath. He lied to us.
Remember 2000? Brooks Brothers riot? Amy Coney Barrett, John Roberts, AND Brett Kavanaugh all worked on the “recount” team.

Thomas Drake@Thomas_Drake1 Replying to @Snowden
Reminds me of dystopia faced by Winston in 1984 — where only place he could avoid persistent gaze of all-seeing eye was in the alcove of his apartment — which meant the authorities knew his location. Where is the escape when privacide prevails as a primary form of social control?
CLIMATE DENIERS
The truth for Tucker Carlson, Rupert Murdoch, Koch & Republican climate science deniers.
Oceans & atmosphere are heating up. Heat is energy which explains more powerful winds. A warmer atmosphere can hold much more moisture. This explains why hurricanes are stronger & bring more rain.
STOP BIG OIL BLOCKING CLIMATE ACTION
2017 Trump allowed a Saudi company to take 100% ownership of our largest oil refinery. They grossed $54 billion in Q2. Jared got that $2 billion. A #GOP gift to Saudi Arabia & got tax breaks TX Governor @GovAbbott GOP sold out.

The entire insurance industry.

Florida’s gonna need millions of new roofs and everyone of them will be replaced by migrant workers, how ironic.
Republicans are cheering for Russia.

Tucker Carlson tried to broker Jared Kushner to get Trump to pardon Roger Stone. Tell me again Murdoch’s Fox News isn’t StateTV.

October 2, 2018- Jamal Khashoggi was murdered.
#NeverForget Jared Kushner communicated illegally with MBS via WhatsApp. MBS told people he had Jared “in his pocket.” When #JamalKhashoggi was murdered by MBS, @MikePompeo collaborated in the sick US cover up. Kushner got $2B from the Saudis. Trump got a blood money golf sponsor
Four years ago, #JamalKhashoggi was murdered on orders of the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Today, Saudi writers and critics are jailed for decades, as Mohammed bin Salman’s power expands.

“An unlikely alliance of the U.S. Christian right, militant European Catholics, & even sanctioned Russian oligarchs are working to undermine reproductive & LGBTQ+ rights around the world.” 9/25/22

When an editorial board wants local government to keep its head in the sand, then they operate a news organization that prefers to keep its readers in the dark. Shine a light, support the @BucksCoBeacon
The @CourierTimes @TheIntellNews conservative editorial board would probably have admonished local resolutions supporting civil rights in the 50s & 60s because anti-racist sentiment at the time was too divisive.

CitizenGO is “the main online outlet” for a “coalition of the US Christian right, militant European Catholics, Russian orthodox hardliners & even sanctioned oligarchs,” working in concert “to undermine reproductive & LGBTQ+ rights around the world.” 1/
If given the chance, the GOP will criminalize homosexuality as well as the failure to report homosexual behavior. The US Christian Right works w/ Komov via CitizenGo & the WCF. This is a global (probably Russian financed) anti-LGBTQ+ campaign. These people are monsters.

I discuss ties between Komov, Turley (PA producer of Mastriano puff film) and Charles Bausman (the PA man who fled to Moscow after Jan 6 & who attended the same dinner in Moscow as Flynn in 2014) here. They all attended the 2019 WCF in Verona, Italy. 7/
Producer of Mastriano Film Tied to Charles Bausman, Lancaster Man Who Fled To Moscow After the Insurrection
While the media focuses on local theaters refusing to show “The Return of the American Patriot,” they are missing the bigger story that an international network of Russia-linked “Christian” propagandists seems to have targeted PA.

Rick Scott is on Meet the Press right now talking about insurance fraud so of course it’s a good time to remind folks that Rick Scott invoked the Fifth Amendment 75 times when deposed after committing the largest case of Medicare fraud in U.S. history. His company was fined $1.7 billion.
THIS IS GREAT: The January 6 Committee has obtained 800K Secret Service communications which prove Secret Service agents lied.
Every single one of them who lied should be FIRED.
The pedophile priest thing isn’t just for Catholics?
Southern Baptists release sex abuser database they kept secret for years – The Washington Post. Child sexual abuse isn’t a “mistake in judgment.” It’s a goddam CRIME.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2022/05/26/southern-baptist-database-sex-abuse/
The database, which an SBC attorney said includes people who have been criminally convicted of abuse and those who have confessed to abuse, is expected to show what top leaders knew behind the scenes while telling Southern Baptists they could not create a list of accused abusers because the denomination is not hierarchical and churches operate independently from one another.
University of Pennsylvania professor Marci Hamilton, an expert on laws aimed at preventing child abuse, said the SBC has no standing in distinguishing itself legally from the Catholic Church in terms of its responsibility to victims, be they minors or adults when incidents happen. The SBC, she said, is the “governing body of the whole church, so they are responsible for the policies and for the coverup, which is evident.”
Key takeaways from the bombshell sex abuse report by Southern Baptists
https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2022/05/23/sbc-report-sex-abuse-summary/
1. Top leaders repeatedly tried to bury sex abuse claims and lied about what they could do
2. A former SBC president was considered “credibly accused” of sexual assault
3. Unheeded warnings went on for decades
4. Leaders seemed to put concern over potential litigation over people’s safety
