Liberty Quote
Liberty is not merely one particular value…it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free.

Deep State Dept humour:
“Donald Trump goes on a fact finding visit to Israel. While he is on a tour of Jerusalem he suffers a heart attack and dies.
The Undertaker tells the State Department officials accompanying him, “You can have him shipped home for $50,000, or you can bury him here, in the Holy Land, for $100.”
The Americans go into a corner and confer for a few minutes. They come back to the undertaker and tell him they want him shipped home. The undertaker is puzzled and asks, “Why would you spend $50,000 to ship him home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here, and you would only spend $100?”
The Americans reply, “Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. We just can’t take that risk.”
Charging all who entered with felony murder for the copper. FFS
Imagine if President Trump had urged folk ‘to storm the Capitol’.
Remember Washington DC is like Canberra – full of academics, media and bureaucrats. They all think alike.
My brother lives there. He’s in the media, as is his American wife. He’s changed. Very difficult to talk openly about politics without him either shutting down, or calling me a Trump supporting conspiracy theorist.
These people spend all day, all night, every social gathering, all in a anti-Trump bubble. Even if somebody thought positive things about Trump or a policy, they’d never say so.
To the Washington swamp their own citizens are the enemy and from the looks of the recent events they are. The civil war is on no matter that the media refuses to report it, the media have actually taken a side. It’s not like media in other wars where each side has its own, the media is on one side exclusively.
The other reason is that the civil war is on is that corporations have opened a front on half the population of the country. Ostensibly they are blacklisting uncooperative businesses when it’s actually the people who patronise those businesses. Every one of the big corporations are now run by insane idiots. Where do they think this will end? Most Europeans will knuckle under but I think Americans are made of sterner stuff.
Watching the green-progressive religion coalesce is fascinating.
Previously Marxist-Leninism had a lot of features of a religion, but with the global warming stuff it has added a mystical and pseudo-moral character to it that it didn’t have before.
So the new religion has in the last decade or so developed an apocalypse, food laws, aceticism, saints (Marx, Greta), rituals (recycling), a higher power (Gaia), holy orders (Extinction Rebellion) and indulgences (carbon credits).
And now it has its own Satan, and 75 million devils.
Antifa operatives lured t
Whoops. Like the riot, posted too early!
Antifa operatives lured that girl to her death. Footage to prove it. They were seeded around the Capitol, identified by people in the crowd and filmed.
Once the staged “flash point” event occurred in the lobby, the two Antifas who were filming and breaking down the door, disappeared into the crowd. Then one was interviewed by CNN as an eye witness, for pity’s sake! No one seemed to want to ask what he was doing there.
And still they didn’t get the riot they wanted. Just film of skylarking in the Chamber and Pelosi’s office. The “insurgents” were praying in the Senate chamber at one point.
But that was enough to activate the machinery of the media and confected outrage.
Little has been said about the court case in Italy involving an employee of Leonardo who confessed to switching Trump votes to Biden in the system before transferring to Americans . So firstly foreign interference therefore I checked on old Italian news and read the reports in Italian .. Because Italian government involved via Renzi and Obama connection deal is being done to avoid repercussions on the Italian government .
This has been kept under wraps and maybe why the Democrats are panicking . Trump probably has a lot up his sleeves to bring them down so it’s a battle to get Trump out of the way.
No, they are not panicking, this is how they celebrate by killing the vanquished.
Trump has nothing because they kept everything from him, the swamp creatures that the GOP establishment persuaded him to bring into the administration.
Crossie comment on the Italian news and they are afraid what Trump knows.

The “insurgents” were praying in the Senate chamber at one point.
UNarmed “insurgents” praying for justice.
How eeeevil can they get?
Consider this report in the Washington Post:
The suggestion is that the FBI wanted an insurrection to happen and deliberately failed to warn other security agencies or the Trump rally organisers.
Two buses of Antifas with state police escort have been videoed arriving at the rally . Do tell me they were there to listen to Trump. Also leader was tweeting for them to not wear Antifa gear but dress like Trumpsters . Japanese journalist showed one of them inside the Capitol building , after activating others , changing his clothes.
min, we need the video. The false narrative is a pretext for a purge that goes far beyond social media. They’ll give the Nazis a good run for their money by the time this is over.
Q.Why did the White House release defence pact documents yesterday that weren’t due for thirty years or so?
A. Because in a few days they will cease to exist, at least in the eyes of the demos, and they are never wrong.
Two buses of Antifas with state police escort have been videoed arriving at the rally…
Yeah I’d love to see that video.
Did it include the bit where they were lowered by tractor beam from the flying saucer?
One of the so-called “Trump protestors” in Congress self-identified as actually an Antifa member:
As someone commented about the Solidarity uprisings in Poland in the 80s, once the people realised they out numbered the govt, it was all over.
And paranoia is the natural state for lefty totalitarian.
The lying left wing msm have conviently ignored the past 4 years of obama orchestrated insurrection through the calling of his troops #resistance, and the #notmypresident.
4 years of violent protests.
One of the biggest “ dog that didn’t bark” is the lack of footage of Trump calling for insurrection/ violence before the March.
If he had it would be on high rotation 24/7.
Instead we get talking spokesweasels telling us what Trump really meant.
Michael Smith News posted a video of the murder of the Trump supporter. It clearly shows she was deliberately shot by a police officer THREE times while standing alongside the BLM creep who immediately started filming the death throes of that unfortunate victim.
No world wide condemnation maybe because she wasn’t black????
Check it out.
