“The DNC and Biden Team knew they had friends at Twitter who would do their bidding during the election. And Twitter lied to the FEC [Federal Election Commission] about that influence…. But that’s just at the surface.” —TechnoFog on Substack
Have Americans grokked that virtually all of the mis-and-dis-information bombarding them these many years actually comes from the government and the news media channels that serve it? What we’ve got now in this country is a Mind-Fuckery Industrial Complex waging a psy-ops war on the people of this land. Why is that?
Essentially, to cover-up past crimes against the country by public officials. Twitter, pre-Musk, was a major accomplice and enabler of all that, and suddenly it’s not — to the horror of everyone in charge at our nation’s seat of government. The main crimes revolve around selling-out America’s future one way or another — “Joe Biden” and Company being only the most blatant perps in the big picture.

Tightening the U.S. Grip on Western Europe. Washington’s Iron Curtain in Ukraine
NATO leaders are currently acting out a deliberate charade in Europe, designed to reconstruct an Iron Curtain between Russia and the West.
With astonishing unanimity, NATO leaders feign surprise at events they planned months in advance. Events that they deliberately triggered are being misrepresented as sudden, astonishing, unjustified “Russian aggression”.
The United States and the European Union undertook an aggressive provocation in Ukraine that they knew would force Russia to react defensively, one way or another.
They could not be sure exactly how Russian president Vladimir Putin would react when he saw that the United States was manipulating political conflict in Ukraine to install a pro-Western government intent on joining NATO. This was not a mere matter of a “sphere of influence” in Russia’s “near abroad”, but a matter of life and death to the Russian Navy, as well as a grave national security threat on Russia’s border.
A trap was thereby set for Putin. He was damned if he did, and damned if he didn’t. He could under-react, and betray Russia’s basic national interests, allowing NATO to advance its hostile forces to an ideal attack position. Or he could over-react, by sending Russian forces to invade Ukraine. The West was ready for this, prepared to scream that Putin was “the new Hitler”, poised to overrun poor, helpless Europe, which could only be saved (again) by the generous Americans.

For years, hegemon USA wanted a platform bordering Russia to wage war on the nation and its people.
After Viktor Yanukovych won a run-off election against Western darling Viktor Yushchenko in 2004, the Bush/Cheney regime’s Orange Revolution deposed him by street violence, sit-ins and general strikes. Ukraine’s pro-Western Supreme Court annulled the run-off result, ordered a new election in December 2004, won by Yushchenko — a former governor of the nation’s central bank, his wife a US citizen and former Reagan/GHW Bush official. In stark contrast to Yanukovych, Yushchenko favored NATO and EU membership for Ukraine.
In January 2010 elections, Yanukovych regained the presidency, taking office in February, allying with Russia because of large-scale investments and longterm loans offered. From late 2013 to early 2014, the Obama/Biden regime’s Maidan coup in Kiev ousted him violently, installing Petro Poroshenko to replace him. At the time, rooftop snipers overlooking Kiev’s Maidan gunned down peaceful protesters. In Odessa, Right Sector Nazi thugs burned to death dozens of coup opponents in the city’s Trade Union House. Some escaping incineration were shot or otherwise killed outside. The Obama/Biden regime got Nazified elements it wanted installed in office — a coup d'état regime, not a legitimate one.

The Times of Israel, an independent Israeli newspaper that counts among its staff a number of former reporters for the Israeli daily Ha’aretz, published a fascinating but largely overlooked story datelined Jerusalem and Zhitomir, Ukraine, March 16, 2014, and which was written by its respective Russian and Ukrainian correspondents, Hirsh Ostropoler and I. Z. Grosser-Spass, citing a secret report provided to the Israeli government.
The report, written by a select panel of scholars of Jewish history drawn from academia and other research centers, concluded that that European Jews are in fact descended from Khazars, a war-like Mongol-Tatar group that ruled over Ukraine and southern Russia, which mass-converted to Judaism in the eighth century AD.
Zionists have long argued that the land claimed by Israel was the biblical birthright of the Jewish people who were forced from the land in a so-called «diaspora» after repeated conquests by various empires.

Headed by undemocratic Dem Rep. James Clyburn, current House Whip, he — like the vast majority of others in Congress — are mortal enemies of protecting and preserving public health. The subcommittee he heads is mandated to support and suppress reality about the mother of all state-sponsored scams. It has nothing to do with serving the public interest. Nothing related to with promoting healthcare as it should be practiced. Nothing to do with protecting against “waste, fraud, abuse, price gouging, profiteering, or other abusive practices related to” all things flu/covid. Nothing to do with the heavily promoted “pandemic” because nothing of the sort exists, an invented one alone to push the made-in-the-USA/West health and freedom-destroying agenda. What Clyburn’s subcommittee calls a “coronavirus crisis” relates only countless millions who’ve been irreparably harmed by kill shots, masking and all else related to the state-sponsored scam.

“I have had enough of this insanity and lack of national media attention or regulatory attention to this clear and present danger and tragedy.” — Ed Dowd
Barreling down to Christmas and the bitter butt end of a bad year, a primal fear of the deepening darkness makes people desperate — another reminder that human nature has not changed so much in ten thousand years, despite the discoveries of Prozac and plant-based meat. Yet Freud was right: death has its attractions for tormented minds. Thus, our nation appears to hasten to its own funeral.
Can anyone actually grok how “progressive” thinking works these days? This faction now in charge of so many things has decided in the starkest terms that freedom of speech has got to go. For some years, the Party of Chaos had achieved such exquisite control of all national debate by seizing the dials and toggles of social media that they made reality itself their hostage. The truth was only what they said it was, and anyone who said otherwise got banished, cancelled, and even destroyed.

A powerful short documentary from the team behind the great "Perspectives on the Pandemic" series
This global drive to “vaccinate” the human race did not come out of nowhere, but was preceded, over decades, by “public health” campaigns that variously readied people for it, by expertly convincing them that their lives, and their children’s lives, depended utterly on their obeying, without question, the dictates of “public health,” however needless and/or risky they may be.
That preparatory process has been underway for quite some time; but it accelerated in the Eighties, when the vaccination schedule for our children started growing radically (some might say metastasizing) into the relentless poisonous assault it is today. That push increasingly entailed the demonization of all those who wouldn’t go along, whether on medical grounds or for religious reasons, all such heretics now fiercely vilified as “anti-vaxxers.” – I write this as one whose family has been variously ravaged by that program (which killed my nephew, Giovanni, at two months old), and as a friend to many parents of vaccine-injured children. Such hard experience is now especially poignant, as this murderous faux-vaccination drive continues to kill children, along with countless others of all ages, all around the world.

Having just completed a multi-week trip through southern and central Europe, I am now more convinced than ever that fear is still alive and well. Not in Europe, but in the United States. Make Freedom From Fear your Christmas gift that makes a difference this year in the lives of those who matter to you.
Western Europe is dead. If you venture away from the cadaverous ruin of the cradle of western civilization, you will find a largely free, lively, and fully engaged population going about their lives as we used to do in the United States, spending time with friends and family, celebrating holidays together, and greeting strangers with interest and curiosity. These people are not preparing for the next wave of federal mask mandates, school closures, and forced “vaccinations.” In their civic participation, they are preoccupied with important and real local matters, not manufactured international crises that demand them to sign away their basic rights to remain gainfully employed and socially accepted. Fear has not become a virtue for them, as is has here in the US. They have real lives to live.

In his COVID-19: The Great Reset (2020), Klaus Schwab explains, “Many of us are pondering when things will return to normal. The short response is: never. Nothing will ever return to the ‘broken’ sense of normalcy that prevailed prior to the crisis because the coronavirus pandemic marks a fundamental inflection point in our global trajectory.”
Then, “Several months into the pandemic, it looks like even a semblance of a return to ‘business as usual’ for most service companies is inconceivable as long as COVID-19 remains a threat to our health. This in turn suggests that a full return to ‘normal’ cannot be envisaged before a vaccine is available.”
After saying a return to normal isn’t possible, and not even desirable, since it’s broken, Schwab dangles the prospect of a “full return to ‘normal’” if only we would accept “a vaccine,” which, more than two years later, we’ve discovered to be genocidal Jewjabs!
Interesting, too, Schwab’s placing of normal in quotation marks, as if it’s a mere notion or rumor, and not reality itself, unperturbed life or a set of norms established over time. Birds fly, fish swim, women have babies and insecure young men will go to insane length to prove they’re not quavering pussies.

A leaked phone conversation between Victoria Nuland, assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, and Geoffrey Pyatt, the US ambassador to Ukraine, has exposed the anti-democratic and colonialist character of the Obama administration’s intervention in the former Soviet republic. The discussion between the two officials includes a detailed review of which right-wing opposition figures Washington is working to install in office, and how it is using the United Nations to rubber-stamp the operation.
While Germany and other European powers have worked closely with the Obama administration in promoting the violent protests against President Viktor Yanukovych, the leaked phone call reveals tensions between the imperialist powers. At one point Nuland tells Pyatt, “F--k the EU.”
The discussion, posted anonymously on YouTube, underscores the thoroughly cynical character of Washington’s public diplomacy. The Obama administration’s rhetoric about “democracy” and the Ukrainian people’s right to determine their own future is a charade, concocted for public consumption. Behind the scenes, government officials speak frankly with one another about the real agenda—advancing Washington’s geo-strategic and economic interests in Eastern Europe by installing pro-US and anti-Russian puppet figures in the Ukrainian capital.
