Former NYPD Commissioner: ‘Citizens of the US’ Now Biggest Terror Threat
Former New York City police commissioner Bill Bratton told Shepard Smith Friday that “for the last 20 years our biggest concern was international terrorism — ISIS, Al Qaeda,” but “now it’s here and it’s us, and it’s the citizens of the United States, some of whom are rebelling against everything we thought we believed in for the last 300 to 400 years.”

Guggi!
I need a translation. I saw a quote from Leo Strauss and I can read most of it – but this one word ‘meskine’. German–>English translators don’t know it.
…gegen das meskine Unwesen protestieren… is the phrase
Help?
Everything Is Broken
(…)
The Obama administration could swiftly overturn the decision-making space in which Capitol Hill staff and newspaper reporters functioned so that Iran, a country that had killed thousands of Americans and consistently announces itself to be America’s greatest enemy, is now to be seen as inherently as trustworthy and desirable an ally as France or Germany. Flatness, frictionlessness.
The biological difference between the sexes, which had been a foundational assumption of medicine as well as of the feminist movement, was almost instantaneously replaced not only by the idea that there are numerous genders but that reference in medicine, law or popular culture to the existence of a gender binary is actually bigoted and abusive. Flatness.
Facebook’s longtime motto was, famously, “Move fast and break shit,” which is exactly what Silicon Valley enabled others to do.
The internet tycoons used the ideology of flatness to hoover up the value from local businesses, national retailers, the whole newspaper industry, etc.—and no one seemed to care. This heist—by which a small group of people, using the wiring of flatness, could transfer to themselves enormous assets without any political, legal or social pushback—enabled progressive activists and their oligarchic funders to pull off a heist of their own, using the same wiring. They seized on the fact that the entire world was already adapting to a life of practical flatness in order to push their ideology of political flatness—what they call social justice, but which has historically meant the transfer of enormous amounts of power and wealth to a select few.”

Hi, {{eagle}}
oh my Lord you can ask questions 🙂
*meskin* is not a German word. It is a Semitic word but originates in the Akkadian word *muskenu* and means as well *poor* as *bondage to the palace*
It could also be a malapropism from the French word *mesquin* but even this word translates into the Jiddish word *schofel = poor/miserable*
In this context I would prefer “bondage to the palace”

@voxdotcom
White women have always been part of white supremacy in America.
If we ignore the role of women in enabling the US Capitol riots, argues @annanorthtweets, we can’t understand white supremacy in the US — let alone dismantle it.
I think some of those troops are going to stay after the inauguration.
I think the Left is operating out of a position of fear and hatred, based on the election results.
Despite the fraud winning the day, I think they were appalled at the number of votes Trump got, and were further appalled at the support after his “loss.”
The Obama II administration plans on ramming through some really unpopular (with at least half the country) legislation, and the regular presence of troops is to deter any organized protest and the accompanying optics. This will help control narrative.
The inauguration post-“insurrection” is a perfect excuse to get them there. I don’t see some of them leaving anytime soon.

gah
So, I went to a local gun show today (we still have those in Alabama). First sign things weren’t normal: there was a line out the door and down the sidewalk (never seen that before), and nobody paying attention to social distancing.
Inside, it was elbow-to-elbow, and asshole to belly button. All sorts of folks looking over the goods. And the prices? Easily double on everything since last January’s gun show. Last January, before the pandemic, I saw some very basic M4 clones at a hair under $500; now, they’re at least $800. Most AR types were well over $1000. At the other end of the performance spectrum, I saw a used .25ACP Baby Colt for $795.
One on-the-ball dealer was handing out clipboards with a copy of the gun purchase paperwork. “Grab one, get in line, and fill it out while you wait.” And the line was about 20 customers long. Very busy guy.
Cruised around and checked out the ammo. Ditto on prices. I saw one guy selling a generic brand of 38 Special, lead round nose, for $59.99 for a box of 50. Most others weren’t that bad. I noticed one guy selling 20-round boxes of .30 Cal M2 ball ammo for $1 per round. I stopped by my favorite ammo table. The 357 magnum, 125 grain JHP used to be around $17-18 for a 50-round brick; now it was $37.99. But regardless of price, folks were snapping it up. I saw a lot of folks walking out with thousand-round cases of whatever. (Yes, I did buy some of the 357. I don’t know when or if I’ll have another chance. Just like evryone else.)

@ eaglesoars:
My question: Is it defensive or offensive ammo? I am seeing mostly defensive in my ex mil follows.
I was invited to a zoom call. I just have the urge to tell the organizer that I’ll only attend if everyone has their hands up facing the screen the whole time.
The Expanse is still going good. One can tell when success overcomes the show. The actors gain weight from season to season. The writing starts to be unholier than thou and emotionally negative from too much drug use by the show staff.
But so far seems ok. I’m seeing a trend that I think is from women writers? Men are given dialogue and emotions and issues that mostly women experience. And women given the same treatment that men experience. I don’t care if they write a woman thinking like a man. But it drives me crazy to see a protagonist male ultra concerned about someone’s feelings. lol. Probably just me. Just shoot the bad guy and walk out.
I enjoyed Cobra Kai because they wrote some really complex personalities into the show. People would do something stupid and I would think “yah I can see that happening”
@ eaglesoars:
I don’t even want to think about what they’re probably charging for match grade .308 ammo right now.
I was paying about $1.25 a round a year ago, when I could pick up a case whenever I wanted.

Ammo cost on my favorite pistol is insane. 600 with shipping for 1000 rounds. Can’t even find any locally. 9mm Makarov. Guess I’ll stock up for my other guns and just get a handful for it. Love that pistol though, so accurate and nice to hold.

ALERT: Intelligence reports from @FBI and other USG agencies indicate there may be close to 20 distinct events planned in Washington by militant groups between TODAY and 1/21. More are planned nationwide in every state. The massive show of force in Washington will…
undoubtedly shutdown with deadly force, if necessary, any armed group that chooses to confront the force that includes 20k + troops, federal agents, local & state police personnel believed to number in the thousands and; air, land, sea and cyber surveillance.
A federal law enforcement source tells me, “there are many other countermeasures that can repel ANY attempt by armed militants to harm the incoming President and Vice President.” But the BIG worry, according to the source, is that a small number of, “die-hard, true-believers May
sacrifice themselves in suicidal attempts 2 embolden others. Authorities are also warning that those who fight may use asymmetrical tactics. Two take-always from a former Sr. federal law enforcement source: 1) The security posture will remain HIGH in Washington for months and…
most disturbing, we may be looking at armed insurgencies emerging in some locations around the country.

Oddly enough, I used to get the same invites! (What, you didn’t know I’m a “leading intellectual”?) I just didn’t feel like sending them the $100 checks they needed for ‘editorial costs’ or whatever it was. Altho I think Who’s Who in America was a bit more.

His drama at the Prada Cup racing on the Waitamata Harbour yesterday afternoon.
great start between Britannia and Luna Rossa then on the third leg there was a downburst and a change of 225 degrees in wind direction which dropped to about 6 knots. Rave referee called off the race and reset the course 40 minutes later. Another early duel but Britannia kept out of trouble and finished 18 seconds ahead of Luna Rossa.
Next came Luna Rossa vs. American Magic. Sea starting to chop up and wind was about 15 knots and squawllery. All was well with American Magic outselling Luna Rossa until they tried a VERY difficult manoeuvre around a mark. A very high speed turn across wind. They were found 83 Km’hr (over 50 MPH ) when they tried to lift a foil just as they were hit with a puff. The boat bucked then the bow reared up 45 degrees and the rudder was buried, they rounded up still travelling VERY fast and the boar rolled onto its side. All the downwind side managed to escape from under the sail which was laying on the water. They had life vests with O2 cylinders to breath underwater.
Team NZ was watching and they had immediate support for American Magic as it looked like sinking from a 3 foot hole in its bow. Team NZ brought support bladders alongside and held up American Magic and managed to tow it back to the Viaduct Basin. A lot ot of damage sustained and little chance of being ready again for Day #3 racing next Friday. Looks like a few DNF results will be awarded to American Magic next week until they can patch up their boat. Sad way to finish this race series from a boat that promised so much during the Christmas Racing Series.

I started hearing rumors about this last night, but not from any source I have experience with. But now it’s hit the AP, so it’s out there. It may be a game of ‘telephone tag’ reporting, so FWIW

FBI vetting Guard troops in DC amid fears of insider attack
U.S. defense officials say they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, prompting the FBI to vet all of the 25,000 National Guard troops coming into Washington for the event.
The massive undertaking reflects the extraordinary security concerns that have gripped Washington following the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump rioters. And it underscores fears that some of the very people assigned to protect the city over the next several days could present a threat to the incoming president and other VIPs in attendance.
Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told The Associated Press on Sunday that officials are conscious of the potential threat, and he warned commanders to be on the lookout for any problems within their ranks as the inauguration approaches. So far, however, he and other leaders say they have seen no evidence of any threats, and officials said the vetting hadn’t flagged any issues that they were aware of.
I forget what they were called – remember when there were political officers embedded w/Soviet troops to sniff out any disloyalty? Yeah, like that.

I am deeply concerned by reports that the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden may repeal the Presidential permit for the Keystone XL border crossing next week.

Kind of random stuff, including a lot about hunting.
At one point, Evan is talking about his family dog, a Goldendoodle named Dr. Beans:
“That’s Dr. Beans, PhD. Not MD. Don’t get it confused. He knows fuck-all about medicine.”
On Chris Plante radio, a caller said he flew into Reagan airport while seated next to a Nat’l Guard person who had been called up. The NG guy said all the weapons were being transported via a cargo plane. When asked if they would be loading the weapons, he said “Oh, yeah. But tell your friends – we’re not shooting Americans. Even if it were legal – which it isn’t – we’re not doing it.”
Well, if it’s not legal, I don’t know why they have loaded weapons, but whatever…….

The doctor who denied COVID-19 was leaked from a lab had this major bias
Later, it was revealed that one of the original “fact-checkers” Facebook had used was herself participating in a joint research project with virologists at the Wuhan lab. Can anyone spell “conflict of interest”?
Now it turns out that she wasn’t the only one with a research connection to the lab.
US Right to Know, an investigative public health nonprofit group, decided to look into the matter further. Through a public records request, they were able to obtain emails that show The Lancet statement was organized by employees of EcoHealth Alliance, which in turn has close ties with the Wuhan lab.
How close? So close that EcoHealth Alliance has received millions of dollars of US taxpayer funding to genetically manipulate coronaviruses with scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
This is the same kind of research that I have long suspected escaped to cause COVID-19.
The drafter of The Lancet statement was none other than the president of EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak. Which means that the very statement that, for many months, shut down open debate on the possible laboratory origin of the China Virus, was actually the product of an organization that was collaborating with the Wuhan lab in the genetic engineering of coronaviruses.
Project Veritas next twitter expose is up
Vijaya Gadde, Twitter Legal, Policy and Trust & Safety Lead: “One of the interesting things is a lot of the work that we’ve been doing over the last week is work that we’ve built on in other places around the world, where we’ve seen violence unfold as a result of either misleading information or coded rhetoric.”
Gadde: “We’re going to actually be more aggressive in our enforcement beyond de-amplification.”
Gadde: “A lot of our learnings here [in the United States] have come from other markets. So, in that sense, you know, we do feel like it is – this is our global approach.

Just so you know, it’s highly unlikely that NG troops have live rounds. Troops are only allowed to carry live rounds unless combat is likely or they are in a declared combat zone. That stuff after 9/11? Yeah, all security kabuki. Lobo can probably provide better info.

It’s almost like they are afraid some of the military will act on their oath to protect the country from all enemies foreign and domestic.
@ AZfederalist:
Correct. While I’m sure there will be some ammo available nearby, it won’t be issued to the troops doing the “show of force.”
For every one who says “Don’t worry…we aren’t going to shoot anyone,” there’s another who would shoot someone if a balloon popped.

They were called Commisars or in Russian they were political officers, known as zampolity who ‘ensured’ the loyalty of the troops by threatening them with death. They also followed up front line troops with machine gun battalions of zampolity who’s job it was to shoot any troops who were not’diligent’ in constantly moving forward and pressing home the attack.

I have a question.
Imagine, under whatever circumstances, Biden is gone and Harris is POTUS. Would that be considered her first term, or Biden’s first term? I know she could run one more time, but could she run twice? Or is there some timeline that says even tho she takes over from Biden, it’s her first term because, for example, she was POTUS for more than half the term? Or it it’s less than half the term, it’s still a fill-in for Biden and she can run twice?
I is confused………….

Are you watching the travails of the American Magic getting airborne half way through a turn around a Mark and crashing out at 83 Km/Hr? Punched a 3 foot hole in the port side and flooded. Cooked all the circuitry and got salt water some of the hydraulic lines. All support crews regardless of boat came running and packed the hole with inflatable ballouts, The Kiwi engineering crews have volunteered to help the American Magic crews to re-install the whole electronics package and hydraulic runs. Looks as if American Magic will be out of the water for at least 10 days with crews working on shifts around the clock.

I was Chief Prosecutor at Guantanamo for over 2 years and there’s far more evidence of Congressman Madison Cawthorn’s guilt than there was of guilt for 95+ percent of the detainees. It’s time we start a domestic war on sedition by American terrorists.
