Germany wants US, EU to forge ‘Marshall Plan for democracy’
After supporters of Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas warned that EU democracy is interlinked with US events. He has called for close cooperation: a “Marshall Plan for democracy.”

@ Guggi:
Guten Tag, Guggi
You know what that makes me think of? Let me tell you a story.
There used to be a television show that everybody loved, The Twilight Zone. It ran once a week for 30 mins and every week told a new story that was either spooky, science fiction or both.
One of the most famous episodes is called “To Serve Man”. Earth was invaded by aliens. But they were very friendly. After a while we accepted them as our betters. We were even learning their language. Someone had acquired one of their books and was trying to translate it. They had managed to translate the title. To Serve Man. Eventually, they invited earthlings to visit their world and the last scene shows hundreds of people lining up to board their space ship. Into the scene runs one of the people working on the translation of the book.
“STOP!! STOP!! IT’S A COOKBOOK!!”
So, yeah, thanks, but I’ll pass. I know the Global New World Order when I smell it baking.

70TB of Parler users’ messages, videos, and posts leaked by security researchers
Security researchers collected swaths of user data before the network went dark Monday morning after Amazon, Google, and Apple booted the platform.
The scrape includes user profile data, user information, and which users had administration rights for specific groups within the social network. Twitter user @donk_enby, who first announced about the scrape, claims that over a million video URLs, some deleted and private, were taken.

From commentator ‘Patrick Thomas’ at Instapundit
PRIVATIZING OPERATION CHOKE POINT: What the tech monopolists and DC establishment (both parties) are doing are adapting the Blackwater/Wagner Group model to throttle speech. US and Russia already outsource the Forever War’s dirty work to their respective Little Green Men to get around treaties, RoE and accountability, Now DC is repurposing the same model to throttle speech while avoiding court and maintaining plausible deniability.
Thnk about it. The decision to remove a president and his staff/allies from a social media platform is a board-level decision. That takes, say, up to several weeks. With three-four major platforms acting in concert in one-two days takes collusion and planning. Add one-two months. So the deplatforming we have just witnessed began, best guess, two months ago. Our new tech overlords commenced Operation Family Business in October, but began consultations several months before that. Which means they knew that all the pieces for Operation Find More Ballots were in place and under way. Which means those consultations began even earlier.
There is no way any of what happened last week commenced last week, just like there is no way that Basement Joe got 12M more legal votes than Pres. Obama did in 2008, or that ballot processing centers in several major cities decided independently to shut down for the night or that tens of thousands of late-arriving ballots showing votes only for President were filled out by actual voters. EN-EFF-DUBBUHYOO. Real Tom-Clancy-level sh*t, I tell you.

According to people on the Instapundit thread, wikipedia is undergoing some remodeling. Articles are disappearing, others heavily edited, e.g., Sidney Powell is now a QAnon adherent.
This is a crushing report from Michael Yon. He flat out says there were agent provocateurs at the rally and if anyone can recognize them, he can.
I will go into this later in another more detailed analysis. Many groups were involved. Some cells seemed to have military or similar training. People with skilled eyes will be able to review video and begin to spot cells.
Some cells appear to be Trump supporters. Some appear to be ANTIFA. Most— I do not know who they are other than they were there.
APs, like hypnotists, cannot persuade a crowd do something that is against its will. And they never persuade the entire crowd. Just some portion that they cleave off. Storming the Capitol here or elsewhere is hardly new. Puerto Ricans shot up the place.
But APs, like carnival callers, can provoke and guide people to do things that upon quiet reflection, they would say, “Why did I do that? I got caught up in the moment. I can’t believe I did that.” In the South we say, “The Devil made him do it.”

Scott Adams has been a jerk all week. Trump invited him to the Oval Office and was nice to him. This week Adams calls him an idiot and looks at the demonstration as an off ramp to dump trump. I never liked people who were fair weather friends or flighty in their loyalty.

Army PSYOP officer resigned commission prior to leading group to DC protests
Capt. Emily Rainey, 30, was still on active duty during last week’s protests, but she was handed down an adverse administrative action for a separate incident and resigned her commission, the official told Army Times.
Rainey’s involvement in the rally is currently under investigation by 1st Special Forces Command, which oversees her PSYOP unit, but there is no indication she acted against Army regulations or entered the Capitol during the riot.
.
.
Rainey told the Associated Press that her group and most people who traveled to Washington “are peace-loving, law-abiding people who were doing nothing but demonstrating our First Amendment rights.”
.
.
The riot followed the rally where Trump repeated false claims that the election had been stolen from him and urged his supporters to “fight like hell.”

@ eaglesoars:
I’d agree. Israel shouldn’t want any US global media that isn’t located physically under their control. Biden will give them up to Iran. If they are smart they will block all Twitter and Facebook at their firewall and put up a lot of edge proxy servers. They could install Mastodon or Minds.com from the public spaces. Linux would allow them to roll their own. Just a lot of huge security issues if they are already using the AWS or AZURE clouds.
International Chat services should be blocked. At my last check Facebook Messenger runs on chat protocols. But been awhile.
to this foreign (Canadian) observer, the simultaneous de-platforming of an important national political leader by US social media looks a lot more like our idea of a coup than the unruly and disorganized protests. To an Indian or Iranian or Brazilian, it must seem even more so

That makes a lot of sense. Also the violence objections are odd since violent China and violent Iran are still active everywhere. Given what has happened in the past few days I would think the military would lock down Facebook and Twitter to US only services. Prevent them from leaving the country. Let them go build in another country if they want.

Banks Place Limits On Donations To Lawmakers Who Supported President Trump, Objected Electoral College Vote Count
Some of the world’s biggest companies said on Sunday they will suspend donations to U.S lawmakers who voted against certifying the election for Joe Biden.
This includes JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, which are two of the biggest U.S. banks. It also includes Marriott, which is the world’s largest hotel company. Additionally, this includes Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, which is a federation of 36 independent companies that provide health care insurance.
JPMorgan and Citigroup said they will pause all political action committee donations over the coming months. In a memo to employees, Citigroup’s global government affairs head, Candi Wolff, said, “we want you to be assured that we will not support candidates who do not respect the rule of law.”

Here’s a glimpse of the Parler lawsuit against Amazon. It seems Amazon may have deplatformed Parler at the behest of Twitter to remove its competition
https://twitter.com/ProfMJCleveland/status/1348697956195717125
From a commentator at Insta
There is a story just breaking that all security on the Parler site was very deliberately turned off by the security provider Twilio well before the back end site was shutdown and absolutely all data on the site, everything, including all private metadata was completely comprised with very malicious bad actors that are planning to make all this data public.
This was a very deliberate act. This cannot happen by accident. Not only has nothing like this ever happened before this was an exceptionally dangerous and reckless act by Twilio, Amazon and all other participants in this criminal conspiracy. Which is exactly what it is.
It turns out the ‘security researchers’ is one person???
The hacker and internet archivist, who goes by the online handle @donk_enby, scraped the social network and uploaded copies to the Internet Archive, which hosts old and historical versions of web pages.
In a tweet, @donk_enby said she scraped data from Parler that included deleted and private posts, and the videos contained “all associated metadata.”

A lot of old clichés working against these scum.
One thing that really has me a bit confused here though. The dems have all the psychologists and psychiatrists on their side I thought? There is a well-known psychological phenomena where the more you tell people NOT to think of something the MORE they will think of it. SO, what is the endgame here? They are literally ENCOURAGING people to think of election fraud the more they tell them not to think of it.
It’s called Ironic THought Process Theory and it’s a real thing. Check it out.

Clyburn (D) stated 2 days ago, that they’ll put the Trump impeachment off for 100 days and THEN enact it.
Why 100 days?
Because they intend to implement ALL their socialist policies (filibuster, statehood for DC, etc) within that first 100 days, and then take the publics mind off what they’ve just done by going through a “impeach Trump!” show trial.

Seeing our world through the eyes of a migratory bird would be a rather spooky experience. Something about their visual system allows them to ‘see’ our planet’s magnetic field, a clever trick of quantum physics, and biochemistry that helps them navigate vast distances.
Now, for the first time ever, scientists from the University of Tokyo have directly observed a key reaction hypothesised to be behind birds’, and many other creatures’, talents for sensing the direction of the planet’s poles.
Importantly, this is evidence of quantum physics directly affecting a biochemical reaction in a cell – something we’ve long hypothesised but haven’t seen in action before.
Using a tailor-made microscope sensitive to faint flashes of light, the team watched a culture of human cells containing a special light-sensitive material respond dynamically to changes in a magnetic field.

If you’re listening to tucker on Kristen Clarke’s theory of melanin, here’s some background
She went on though, to outline several alternatives, most prominently the “melanin” theory, which accords Blacks greater intelligence, spiritual qualities, etc. due to their high levels of melanin.
It would be nice if her letter were pure irony, a simple attempt to ridicule The Bell Curve by association with other crazy ideas. But subsequent attempts to clarify what Clarke meant have been met with staunch equivocation.
In her most recent letter to The Crimson, Clarke still refuses to take a stand: “[The Melanin Theory] is not necessarily something we believe, but some information we think those pursuing a true understanding of The Bell Curve should either address, ignore or refute.”
Clarke’s tactics are disturbing for several reasons. First, that Clarke refuses to explicitly deny the theories she has brought up raises the possibility that she actually believes them. Enough said.
https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1994/11/9/fire-with-fire-pharvard-has-just/
Melanin theory is a claim in Afrocentrism that a higher level of melanin, the primary determinant of skin color in humans, is the cause of an intellectual and physical superiority of dark-skinned people and provides them with superior abilities or even mystical/supernatural ones. It is a pseudoscientific claim and has been described as racist.[1][2][3]

While she resigned her commission prior to the event, it apparently hasn’t been finalized yet. That means she’s technically still serving on active duty, but she’s in an “excess leave” status. That means she doesn’t get paid, and doesn’t have to report anywhere. Basically, it’s like a leave of absence until the paperwork is done.
She can do pretty much whatever she wants–never mind the fact that there’s no allegation that she did anything illegal in the first place.
Even if she hadn’t resigned, she still wouldn’t be in trouble for anything. Military personnel are allowed to attend political events, as long as they aren’t in uniform and don’t give the impression that they’re representing the military.

There’s a new narrative coming out and I don’t know what to make of it. The picture it paints of Kevin McCarthy may be true but the sourcing is – FBI won’t nail antifa, it’s all MAGA
McCarthy told his members it was determined to be right-wing extremists and supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory, which revolves around the idea that President Trump is working to expose an elite group of Democrats and media who are running an international child trafficking ring and controlling the government to try to undermine the president.
The FBI said on Friday that it determined that no members of the left-wing movement antifa were involved in the storming of the Capitol.
“We have no indication of that at this time,” Washington Field Office assistant director Steven D’Antuono said when asked about any potential involvement of antifa last week.
Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Michael Sherwin separately also said last week that investigators had not seen evidence of antifa’s presence.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/house-gop-leader-tells-members-to-quit-spreading-lies-on-riot-antifa/ar-BB1cFxQZ
Behind the scenes: In a tense, 30-minute-plus phone call this morning with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Trump trotted out the Antifa line.
McCarthy would have none of it, telling the president: “It’s not Antifa, it’s MAGA. I know. I was there,” according to a White House official and another source familiar with the call.
The White House official said the call was tense and aggressive at times, with Trump ranting about election fraud and an exasperated McCarthy cutting in to say, “Stop it. It’s over. The election is over.”
https://www.axios.com/trump-falsely-blames-antifa-for-capitol-riot-bab4943c-d465-4d05-ae36-1e8d1437f168.html
It makes zero sense to me that McCarthy trusts the FBI for anything. I know a bit about his backstory – he’s a pig – but he’s not stupid.
If I had to guess, these are coordinated leaks from McCarthy to cleanse him of any Trumpstain.
Off to read. nite.

McCarthy wouldn’t recongize the difference between MAGA and ANTIFA. He might be relying on Andy NGo’s premature conclusion that there were no ANTIFA in the videos.
Michael Yon presents a better and more honest narrative. Andy Ngo doesn’t realize ANTIFA will change and adapt tactics. Michael Yon has been inside ANTIFA. And Yon says ANTIFA was in Hong Kong learning new tactics.

Extremists move to secret online channels to plan for Inauguration Day in D.C.
Right-wing extremists are using channels on the encrypted communication app Telegram to call for violence against government officials on Jan. 20, the day President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated, with some extremists sharing knowledge of how to make, conceal and use homemade guns and bombs.
The messages are being posted in Telegram chatrooms where white supremacist content has been freely shared for months, but chatter on the channels has increased since extremists have been forced off other platforms in the wake of the siege of the U.S. Capitol last week by pro-Trump rioters.

In the case of drug parents sometimes this is the only way to interrupt them. But social workers often have an innate urge to think past the kids and look for chinks in the armor of the relatives to turn into fear and hyperbole. Similar to what is happening between Pelosi and the Jan 6th rioters.

I already have a couple of hand-held radios that operate in that range, and I just ordered a mobile unit (looks like a CB) for my SUV.

I think this is the month the Pakistanis get their $2,000 covid relief checks from Mitch McConnell.
I see Gab is DDOS protected by Cloudflare. Cloudflare is probably susceptible to Amazon influence. And to WordPress influence.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) shut down Parler because they provided free speech. Now they want to run the Pentagon’s defense system.
Interesting point. the Pentagon should be building its own cloud. Call it skynet or something imaginative like that.

No. They shut down Parler to protect Twitter and at Twitter’s behest. See the lawsuit that was filed.
Amazon already has the CIA cloud contract

This is all much bigger than US politics.
It is a matter of national security for India, Israel, and every other country to maintain a sovereign communications channel for their leaders to reach their people directly.
The world cannot be ruled by American corporations.

Whatever it is, it blocks me from getting in here. Then as quickly as it stars it seems to arbitrarily vanish. Some times days go by, other times for weeks I'm locked out. One thing that has changed though is that Norton nonsense in which they would direct me to a warning page that said 2.0 was a danger. If its not happening to anyone ese well then no biggy, just inconvenient for me although it was upsetting when I was blocked each and every holiday. Ya can't get those days back…
AND, I'm almost afraid to ask … I've been putting it off for awhile now but here goes:
Dorian ? Is he ok ? I have not seen his name here in quite awhile it seems.

Only real drawback to the clans is that the second in command could be a foul mouthed 11 year old who is a superior joystick jockey. And the ordinance specialist a 400 pound insightful genius who never leaves his room.

Bunk suggested this might be related to the theme.
Make sure you don’t have two browser tabs with the blog open.
Maybe when you start up don’t login first. press Ctrl-F5 to refresh the non login cache. Then log.
My feel for that type of error message is that the comment form is trying to submit twice for you or submit with hidden characters.
I don’t get this error. I’m using the AVG secure browser. You might also clear your cache and cookies from the browser. That would reset all your automatic connections to the defaults. What Browser and OS do you use?
AWS and social media put the hurt on me this week. I can’t or won’t connect to any other information sites. Haven’t seen a Trump message in days when it used to be everyday.
HAR!!!
Gab CEO Pulls Off The Impossible For Trump… INCREDIBLE!
“Gab CEO completely backed up Pres. Trump’s Twitter account before it was deleted & recreated him on Gab! What’s even more impressive is he did this while traffic was up 700% & under attack..

In my anonymous twitter usage I still see a lot of conservative pundits saying this is no big deal just wait til 2024. Puts them in the useful idiot category. And a few like Liz Cheney moving to impeach Trump. I’m surprised her constituency hasn’t dragged her out of office.

Thank you for the quick response, I’ll give it a try. I do a full shut down on Fridays (if I remember) and for several reasons, one of which is that I have about, on average, 5 windows with 25 – 50 individual tabs open on each, at any given time. Yeah, I’m serious ! lol

@ Bunk X:
My understanding is that CNN owns the TV sets that are in the terminals, in fact.
Has anyone brought up the fact that those armed people who stormed the capitol
went to the capitol armed so how is it that Trump incited what they did ? They had planned their attack beforehand, premeditated, before he addressed them.
I know that the prima facie evidence is that he never said a word about rioting or attacking the capitol (or anywhere else for that matter) so why
hasn’t this been mentioned anywhere ?

I’m back because this landed in my inbox. You know my post upthread about that Trump campaign staffer that was fired from his new job?
Here he tells his story
https://threader.app/thread/1349175838521106436
1) A couple of hours ago, I tweeted out that this tweet referred to me. Shortly after, I deleted that tweet. After much introspection, and talking with friends and family, I feel obligated to reveal why I deleted it.
2) After identifying myself as the subject of the thread, @Fly_PJS reached out to me, threatening to take legal action and publicly defame me if I didn’t delete the tweet. Intimidated and nervous, I immediately deleted it.3) But after thinking about it, and discussing my rights of free speech with advisors, I will not be bullied into silence. I’m now going to raise my voice louder.
more at the link. Yeah,lawsuit

Next door neighbors had temporary custody of their grandkids due to child protective services (dad was a violent druggie). Our kids were about the same age, made friends with Ashley & James.
Ashley and James weren’t allowed to come into our house unless we allowed screening by social services. No way was I going to volunteer for that.
Both kids are grown now, seem to be fairly normal. I always thought James was a bit slow – he never spoke, just grinned with crooked teeth. Now he’s a nuclear physicist… with grinning crooked teeth.

Years ago the Libertarians looked pretty good to me, but look where they are now. If they get rid of their pro drug stance and their dangerous global isolationist policies they might have a chance.

Ok, thanks. Good to hear.

No chance in hell. Once Trump was elected all of the libertarian dirtbags shed their conservative skins and came out as leftists. Bunch of lying shitbirds. ALL they cared about was the legalization agenda, they just thought they could come at it from the right. Destroying Trump became even more important than that.
@ lobo91:
That’s a war college that has never read 1984 or the Gulag Archipelago. One that doesn’t understand that honest elections are what creates their strength to win war. Regardless there has to occur here a medium stable result that deflects Big Tech and increase election integrity. Else still gonna get an escalating violence that will be bigger than the national guard.

1. Maybe the message was hacked. (most likely you crashed it with you link)
2. Why don’t they have a better error message.
3. Why does Microsoft want to intervene in a mil site here.
4. Why does Big Tech want to suggest DNS is the problem. That would mean Chinese controlled it.

Adding the slash at the end is supposed to remove one GET transaction to the server. Not sure if it matters anymore in the big tech era.

The right needs a rules for ANTIFA book. Don’t be alone. Travel in a group. Know where the security is. And here’s a list of proper mom joke insults to use. They need to have a slap practice also where you get punched and see if you can still talk.
@ right_wing2:
I’d say take the top five RINO’s that abandoned Trump and make life difficult for them. No. 1 is McConnell.
Primary season in a year. No one is going to mind if in primary season the Never Trump candidate is walked the plank by the Trump faction. Everyone will love it.
The Bush legacy is at work here in pulling the rug out from underneath Trump. Any Bush, Any Cheney, Colon Powell, Reese Bolton. They should be up next.
Voted to impeach Trump
Liz Cheney, WY
Tony Gonzalez, OH
Jaime Herrera-Beutler, WA
John Katko, NY
Adam Kinzinger, Ill.
Peter Meijer, MI
Dan Newhouse, WA
Tom Rice, SC
Fred Upton, MI
David Valadao, CA
The only to stop them will be to exhibit a power to them that blocks out all other concerns.
