Welcome to week 5 of the fabulous Kamala Harris show, brought to you by the Democrat Party and its lapdog media partners. This week, Kamala is hosting a game show entitled The Price Is Wrong. Yes, the Kamala Harris traveling love fest has released the Harris/Walz economic plan. Kamala announced, “When I am President, it will be a day one priority to bring down prices. I’ll take on big corporations that engage in illegal price gouging and corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families.” Simply put, the Kamala “plan” may be summarized in three words, “government price controls.”
It’s really not surprising that Kamala’s plan relies on government price fixing, as she learned economics from her Marxist economics professor father. Government price fixing has been a hallmark of such regimes as those in Cuba, the Soviet Union, Venezuela, and North Korea. In every case, price control plans have failed miserably, and in every case, the Marxist nations that have tried them have wound up as economic basket cases.
Government price fixing is always touted as a means to help the consumer in inflationary times, or in times of economic crisis, but it inevitably leads to even higher inflation and shortages of products and commodities. Kamala’s “plan,” however, has a different focus.
Try to follow the bouncing lies. First, Kamala maintains that the Bidenomics economy is not in peril, but is strong and thriving. She concedes that the prices of everything are up (she could hardly do otherwise), but she attributes the inflation to corporate greed, a/k/a/, price gouging.
Kamala knows a lot about inflation, because she cast the deciding vote that passed the nearly $2 trillion, fraudulently named Inflation Reduction Act. Now, after making her contribution to the reckless spending that caused the worst inflation in 40 years, Kamala is promising to fix it, by punishing producers and retailers for nonexistent price gouging.
The fact is that the average 20% increase in retail prices mirrors the 20% increase in producer prices. In other words, your local grocer isn’t gouging you for 20% more, he’s paying 20% more to put the goods on the shelf.
Inflation doesn’t come from price gouging. In a market economy, price gouging doesn’t even work. If Acme charges $6 for an item Shoprite sells for $4, you just don’t shop at Acme. That’s why Lehigh University Business Professor Phillip Coles calls the Kamala price gouging argument “high-priced baloney.”
Milton Friedman taught that inflation can only be caused by excess government spending that increases the money supply. John Maynard Keynes, an economist that Democrats normally like to quote, said that inflation is how government steals wealth from the citizens, deflecting blame, then taking credit for price caps and subsidies that help citizens buy products they no longer can afford.
And depending on what day it is (Kamala keeps changing her mind), she’s planning to make things worse, because she has not yet begun to spend. She wants to spend an additional $2 trillion on increased health subsidies (migrants get sick too you know), the earned-income credit, and then give new home buyers $25,000 each. This would add $25,000 to the price of every house, thus aiding sellers and real estate agents, while landing the buyers an additional $25,000 in debt, subject to high Biden/Harris interest rates.
Then the Kamala Medicare For All plan will cost another $4.4 trillion a year. Oh, and then she wants to have the government build homes. Well, not homes in the sense of single family cottages by the side of the road, but high rise public housing. No one will say what that would cost, and have you ever seen a decent public housing project?
Kamala’s Green New Deal fever dream plan would add another $3 trillion a year (for 25 years), to continue to piss money down the climate change rat hole. They could use that money to build the 50,000 electric car charging stations they promised. So far, they’ve spent $7.5 billion to build 8 chargers, so let’s see, carry the two, $3 trillion would build another 3,200 stations, then they’d only be about 47,000 stations short. But then again, maybe we won’t need them, because electric cars aren’t selling well.
The bottom line is that the proposed Kamala spending spree will double the already historic national debt, requiring a tax rate of 70% to keep us afloat. Even without the new spending, Kamala’s in favor of a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains. That’s a sure way to usher in the second Great Depression.
Oh, and one more thing. If I haven’t mentioned this, government price fixing doesn’t work. President Nixon tried it in 1971. And there’s a second part to the scheme that Kamala failed to mention. It’s price and wage controls. She failed to mention wages, but you really can’t cap one without capping the other. If you’re expecting a raise next year, or are a union worker, or know someone who is, you might want to mention this to them.
Faced with 6% inflation, Nixon imposed a freeze on all prices, wages and rents throughout the United States. In the short term (long enough to get Nixon reelected) it suppressed pent up inflation. In the end Milton Friedman pronounced it “an utter failure.”
Price controls create shortages, of just about everything. In 1973, new inflation and shortages appeared. Ranchers stopped shipping their cattle to the market, farmers drowned their chickens, and consumers emptied the shelves of supermarkets. The price controls on gasoline were the last straw. When the Saudis doubled the price of oil, the price controls created a severe shortage of fuel. If you’re not old enough to remember sitting in gas lines at the crack of dawn, hoping to get your allotted $3 worth of gasoline, ask someone who is. It was not pleasant.
By the time Nixon departed, the stock market had crashed, and inflation had ballooned to 12%, leaving poor Gerald Ford holding the bag. His plan was Whip Inflation Now, complete with red and white WIN buttons –
I still have one somewhere. It was another utter failure. Ford tried to convince consumers to spend less, and to conserve energy, but no one was listening. In the end, we wound up with another utter failure, Jimmy Carter.
Much like Ford, nobody voted for Kamala Harris before she emerged as a potential Chief Executive. Like Nixon’s and Ford’s, Kamala’s price fixing scheme is also doomed to failure. But there are differences. Nixon based his scheme on a law passed by Congress that permitted price controls. Kamala is planning to simply impose controls without authority, like any good totalitarian dictator. And then, while Ford blamed foreign oil-producing nations for the high prices, Biden and Harris blame oil companies, gas stations, and your local grocer. The danger, however, is that, much like Nixon’s plan, Kamala’s price gouging bullshit story could prop her up long enough to get her elected.
Should that happen, we’re screwed. Do yourselves a favor, reject the Kamala pricing plan, and reject Kamala. Tell her –
In 1992, Seinfeld was a popular TV show. In one famous episode, Jerry was approached by NBC to create a TV series, a show on TV about a show on TV. He complained to George that he couldn’t think of an idea for a show. Undaunted, George said, “How hard is it, look at the junk on TV.” He then told the TV executives, “I can sum up the show fo you in one word, ‘nothing.'” They were skeptical. “What about stories?” “No stories. I got up and came to work. That’s a show.” They asked, “Why am I watching it?” George gave them the perfect answer, “Because it’s on TV.”
It occurred to me that the Harris-Walz campaign is just a rerun of that Seinfeld episode. It’s all a show, but nothing is real, and nothing is related to policy or governance. It’s truly a show about nothing.
The Kamala campaign is being orchestrated to take advantage of the fact the Vice-Presidents really don’t matter. Few Americans can name all 46 Presidents of the United States. How many could name even 20 Vice-Presidents, much less tell you who ran with who? John Adams called the Vice Presidency “the most insignificant office ever devised.” Vice-President John Nance Garner was even more succinct, the office, he declared, “Isn’t worth a warm bucket of spit.”
Simply put, Vice-Presidents are largely invisible, Nobody knows, or cares, what they do, or where they go. As a result, when one of them gets shoved into the foreground, and when that person is a Democrat, the media can attempt to introduce him or her as “new and improved,” or as the current ad campaign goes, “A centrist, whose positions are “right down the middle.”
They’re counting on the fact that the electorate will never ask, “Right down the middle of what?” If that ever happened, and the truth somehow slipped out, it would immediately become apparent that Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and the rest of the left-wing Socialist cabal, are “right down the middle,” in between the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks.
The point is that the Kamala phenomenon that has boosted her poll numbers of late is all a carefully crafted illusion. Kamala is a creature of the Teleprompter. Biden had to be abandoned because he could no longer convincingly read the lies. Kamala can do at least that much. She is the queen of the quip and the soundbite.
They don’t dare let her speak off the cuff, because bad things happen. Look forward to two more months of her taking no questions, and simply parroting the same tried and true lines, and lies. Kamala likes to repeat the catch phrase, “What can be, unburdened by what has been.” Maybe she thinks it’s Kennedyesque, stealing RFK’s “Some men see things as they are and ask,’Why?’ I dream things that never were and ask, ‘Why not?'”
The difference is that RFK really had some ideas, and Kamala has only punchlines. For Kamala (or is it Scamala?), what I think her tag line means is that she considers herself unburdened by whatever wild-eyed, leftist, Commie position she has taken in the past, because now, she can be the President.
That must be what she means, because a fair evaluation of “what Kamala has been” would impose a crippling burden upon what she thinks she can be. What Kamala has been is the most radical Democratic-Socialist in the Congress. She comes by it honestly, though, as her father is, get a load of this, a Marxist economist, who teaches at Stanford University.
Marxist economics actually is a really easy subject to master. The government owns everything, they tell you what to do, and you better do it, or else. In Kamala’s case, the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree.
Kamala is in favor of the so-called Green New Deal, which is an anti-industrial, extreme left wing fever dream, designed to do away with oil and gas, in favor of “renewable energy,” which, I guess, means solar and wind power, which can’t run today’s power grid, and will never be able to run the power grid of tomorrow, which will require double the power we use today. Kamala doesn’t care. She supports spending $3 trillion a year for 25 years to finance this boondoggle. She doesn’t consider a $75 trillion bill to be a burden.
Kamala, who was the Border Czar, did absolutely nothing to stem the flood of illegal aliens, welcoming more than 10 million invaders the past three years. She now says, as President she will get the border under control. Of course, as Czar, she told us that the border was secure when 10 million invaders came in. But her past record doesn’t burden Kamala.
Throughout her Vice-presidency, Kamala swore to us that Joe Biden was “as sharp as a tack.” Joe tells us that he and Kamala were partners on all policy decisions. Kamala lied to us about the state of Joe’s dementia, but she’s unburdened by was has been, and is focused on what may be.
In 2020, in Tim Walz’s Minnesota, Kamala was unburdened by the riots that burned businesses and killed people. She bailed out the criminals and tried to defund the police. The residents of Minnesota are carrying her burden to this day.
Kamala also is unburdened by the Constitution of the United States. She keeps talking about a federal abortion mandate, despite the fact that the Supreme Court has ruled that abortion is a State issue. No President and no Congress has the authority to mandate anything to do with the abortion issue. Kamala doesn’t care that she’s defying the Supreme Court on abortion, any more than Biden cares about defying the Supreme Court on student loan debt forgiveness.
Most importantly, this year, Kamala has been unburdened by the necessity of running a campaign, and discussing her positions on the issues. The Democrats can pretend that Kamala is a centrist for only one reason. She didn’t have to campaign against other Democrats, and prove to the freaks and perverts who vote in Democrat primaries that she was the most extreme left-wing Socialist in the contest.
As this is written, Democrats and their lap dog media are working full time to erase Kamala’s past and to create a fictitious Kamala Harris, who they can sell to unsuspecting Americans. George Orwell predicted this in 1984, “‘Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’”
The Harris/Walz campaign is a political souffle, consisting largely of air and fluff. We must hope that the Trump campaign can shine enough light on the Harris myth to deflate that Socialist souffle. Democrats like to say that sunshine is the best disinfectant. When the light of truth shines on Kamala’s positions on important issues, the Socialist infection that is Kamala should be wiped out.
Spread the word. The Harris/Walz campaign is a show about nothing. Its slogan should be,”What we can get away with, unburdened by substance.”
Now within three months of the presidential election, the Democrats, those self-avowed champions and protectors of democracy, have settled on Kackling Kamala Harris as their candidate.
In order to demonstrate their steadfast devotion to democracy, the Dems have shoved aside Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden, thereby cancelling the votes of the more than 14 million people who voted for him in the primaries. The Dems quickly repaired this assault on democracy by holding a private “virtual roll call vote” online to install Kamala as their new standard bearer. That was fine though, because, after privately anointing Kamala, they publicly announced that Kamala had “earned” the nomination.
The Hollywood contingent of the Party then went to work. They began by erasing the fact that, about three months ago, leading Democrats, including many Hollywood A-list A-holes, wanted Kamala removed from the ticket, because her ineptitude was dragging Biden down.
Accordingly, Kamala is now, according to the Democrat Spin (a/k/a lie) Machine, the second coming of Il Duce Obama. The bullshit is so pervasive, that even Kamala is beginning to believe it. In her limited public statements, almost all of which were at one rally, Kamala is talking tough about what she’ll do to Donald Trump.
In order to maintain the illusion that Kamala is competent, she hasn’t answered one question from the media, not even from one of her fawning lap dogs. The only thing she’s made clear is that she won’t debate Trump on Fox News. I wonder why?
This week, Kamala chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. It was expected that Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro would be the choice, but it turned out he was too articulate, too ambitious, and too Jewish for the Hamas wing of the Democrat Party.
The media dutifully went about the cleansing of Walz’s record, declaring Walz to be a moderate Midwesterner. Nothing could be further from the truth, as Walz is the most extreme leftist Governor in the nation. As Kamala is the most extreme leftist Senator in the nation, she and Walz seem to be made for each other. Members of the Squad hailed the Walz choice. I rest my case.
Walz and Kamala are in agreement on every issue. He supports unlimited illegal immigration, and higher taxes to fund illegal immigrant housing, education and medical benefits. In 2020, Walz let Black Lives Matter burn down Minneapolis, to express his dedication to DEI, actually saying that the presence of law enforcement would cause more violence.
And Walz is in favor of every nutty green, climate change, and gender proposal, including installing tampon dispensers in elementary school Boy’s Rooms. Walz also is a fascist, as he proved during the Wuhan lockdowns, when he sponsored a “rat out your neighbor” hotline to jail citizens who dared walk their dogs or visit a friend. Simply put, he’s nuts. So, Harris and Walz -Perfect Together.
But because the Harris-Walz campaign is nothing more than a Hollywood production, the American public will hear little of the truth, which will be skillfully camouflaged, or is it Kamalaflaged? The substance will never be seen, as only the cheerful facade will be visible.
It occurred to me that the Harris-Walz campaign is a modern day Potemkin Village. Grigory Potemkin was a Russian nobleman, who was one of the many lovers of Empress Catherine the Great. In 1783, Potemkin led the Russian Army’s invasion and conquest of Crimea. (Some things never change).
Potemkin boasted about having turned Crimea into a thriving part of Russia, which was far from the truth. When Empress Catherine wanted to tour her new paradise, Potemkin reportedly constructed pasteboard facades, and imported cheering peasants to wave as Catherine’s boat passed by.
The phrase “Potemkin village” has endured and is used to describe a situation in which an undesirable reality is hidden behind an impressive facade designed to deceive observers into thinking the reality is better than it actually is. What better description could there be for the dishonest facade that has been constructed over the Harris-Walz campaign?
The Democrats can’t tell you the truth for two reasons. First, the truth belies the notion that the Democrat ticket is in the political mainstream, or as Nancy Pelosi laughingly claimed this week, “right down the middle.” She didn’t explain the middle of what?
It was one thing when the media sold us Joe Biden as a supposed moderate. Biden was around for a hundred years, and he had survived by supporting, or at least pretending to be in favor of whatever position was in vogue at the time. Kamala (or is it Scamala?), has never been on the conservative side of any issue.
She supported the end of oil and gas production, a ban on fracking, an end to private medical insurance, unlimited abortion, unlimited illegal immigration, racial reparations, and a guaranteed income. In 2017, she exhorted supporters to “stay Woke.” As President Trump has observed, “Everything Woke turns to shit.” Take a look at California. He was right. While Tim Walz was permitting BLM to commit arson, murder and theft, Kamala was raising $40 million to bail out the arsonists, murderers and thieves. Harris-Walz truly is a marriage made in Hell.
Since her “nomination” Kamala (or is it Khameleon?) has attempted to walk back many of these positions. In light of her flip-flops, and her unfortunate tendency to descend into word salad whenever she speaks, Democrats are shielding Kamala from the media, the public, and from debates. She’s joining Biden in the basement.
The problem is, she can run, but try as they may, they can’t hide her forever.
Creating a Potemkin Village is all well and good, but, at the end of the day, the inescapable conclusion will be that Kamala is the Potemkin Village idiot.
The Paris Olympics began last Friday with incomprehensible opening ceremonies that featured a masked phantom running over rooftops, the severed head of Marie Antoinette floating in the Seine, a drag queen torchbearer, and a drag queen depiction of the Last Supper.
The Olympic motto used to be “Citius, Altius, Fortius.” “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” In 2021, the IOC changed it to “Citius, Altius, Fortius – Communiter .” “Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together.” This latest spectacle may require a further amendment – “Citius, Altius, Fortius, Perversus.”
The start of the Olympics motivated New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin to compare the media’s outpouring of adulation for Kamala Harris to the Olympic event, synchronized swimming. That was good, but I thought synchronized diving was more apt, as the media, as one, leapt off the platform, did a series of twists and turns, and entered the deep water harmonizing Kamala’s praises.
On reflection, even the diving analogy isn’t quite right. What we’re dealing with is Olympic level synchronized lying. For instance, last week the Harris campaign told the lap dog media that she never was named Biden’s Border Czar. The synchronized lying team immediately went into action, denying that Kackala was ever given such a task. The fact that everything is preserved on the internet in word, photo and video did not deter the lying media. As I’ve said before, when history consists only of that which Google spits out, and they can alter the results of searches, any shit can be peddled for the truth.
For the record, here’s the BBC report of March 21, 2021, “Announcing Ms. Harris’s appointment as his immigration czar, Mr Biden told reporters and officials at the White House: ‘She’s the most qualified person to do it …'” Here’s what it looked like –Then again, with the masks, maybe it really wasn’t Kamala.
And this is from NBC News no less (and there is no less) – “President Joe Biden tapped Kamala Harris to tackle the daunting issue of immigration in March 2021, but the vice president’s public-facing work on addressing the root causes of migration largely evaporated within months …” “When Harris became Biden’s “border czar,” as critics called her, the administration was under pressure from both sides to address the rising number of migrants — particularly unaccompanied children — crossing the border and landing in poor conditions in U.S. custody. On March 24, 2021, Biden took the stage at the White House and seemed to hand the keys on the issue over to his vice president.”
There seems little doubt that Kamala was put in charge of the border problems. But as obsessed with proper gendering as are the Democrats, maybe it’s just the title they object to. How about Border Czarina? It matters not. Whatever you choose to call her, Kamala’s efforts failed.
In pursuit of “the root causes of mass migration” she made one trip to Mexico and Guatemala in June 2021. She attacked the “root causes” by handing out $9.3 billion of your money. There followed the entry of some 10 million illegal aliens, including criminals, the insane and terrorists, and Homeland Security admits that more than 85,000 children are “missing” in the United States.
In truth, it’s really not altogether fair to blame Kamala for not stopping migration as Border Czar, because she carried out Biden’s policy perfectly. Democrat policy was and is to have no borders, and to overwhelm America with invaders. So I don’t fault Kamala for failing to change the policy, I fault her for carrying out a policy with which she agrees.
The border disaster wasn’t a mistake or an oversight, it was the Democrat plan to overrun the country with illegals. Kamala is on record favoring free Medicare for all illegals. This is bound to collapse the system. Democrats recoil at calling illegal aliens “invaders,” but wars have started over less.
The Declaration of Independence contains a long list of outrages committed on the Colonies by Fat King George. One example is, “He has sent hither Swarms of officials to harass our People, and eat out their Substance.” Replace “Officials” with “Migrants” and the actions of Mad King Joe and Queen Kamala are no less outrageous.
The border disaster is just one of the many challenges for the Kamala synchronized lying team to tackle. To name a few, Kamala covered up Biden’s dementia, she’s was named the only Senator more liberal than Bernie Sanders, she’s pro-Hamas and anti-Israel, she’s raising money for a BLM rioters’ bail fund, she will continue Biden’s ruinous energy policy, she opposes the Second Amendment, she wants to raise taxes, she’s impossible to work with (more than 90% of her staff has quit), if she can’t read a Teleprompter she’s a horrible public speaker, she compared ICE agents to the KKK, she wants to outlaw private medical insurance, oh and one more thing – she’s just plain dumb.
Can you picture Kamala on the world stage, dealing with Putin, Xi, and the mullahs in Iran? Here’s her take on the Russia-Ukraine war, “So Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong.” Nothing gets past her, huh?
As Ricky Ricardo might say to the Kamala media choir, “Leftists, you got a lotta lyin’ to do.” In hindsight, maybe the synchronized lying team by itself won’t be enough. As I wrote two weeks ago, the Kamala campaign is no more than a Hollywood production.
In this production, the media plays the part of the Greek Chorus. The chorus was featured in ancient Greek plays, fittingly mostly tragedies. It consisted of a group of 12 to 50 players who spoke or sang their lines in unison, wore masks, and functioned as one actor rather than a large group of many performers. The chorus acted as a guiding voice to the audience, cluing them in on plot shifts.
The Greek Chorus description perfectly fits the shameless actions of a media seeking to obscure Kamala’s past image and create a new, fictitious image. Though they are many, they speak with one voice, while wearing masks that disguise them as legitimate journalists. Here’s the CNN Chorus –
Now we’ll change channels to go to the heifers of The View –
But Hollywood is more comfortable with modern productions. So how about the tried and true Star Wars Jedi mind trick? “This is not the Kamala you are looking for. This Kamala isn’t weird, she’s moderate. Trump and Vance are weird.”
Who knows, the trick only works on the simpleminded, so it could get her elected.
FRANK ON FRIDAY – Hackers and Hacks
Anyone with an email account has experienced attempted or successful attacks by hackers, seeking to steal confidential information. Whether they’re carried out by a Nigerian Prince or by some home grown thief, the object is to get into and empty your bank accounts. These hackers usually represent no more than minor annoyances.
Hacking carried out by nation States is something else again. And it’s not a new phenomenon. This website is named for a book I wrote in 2009. In researching for the book, I came across a Time magazine article about Chinese “black hat hackers,” employed by the People’s Liberation Army, to hack into foreign governments and businesses.
This hacking is no less than a cyber-invasion; an act of war, designed to probe for weakness and vulnerability. The work of Chinese hackers was the suspected cause of an August 2003 blackout in the U.S. and Canada. More recently, in 2020, after a border incident, the Chinese blacked out Mumbai. As this is written, another Chinese group, known as Volt Typhoon, is busily attacking internet servers.
Nations also use hacking to interfere in foreign elections. The object is to destabilize other governments, including our own. Whether the foreign hacking is real or imagined, it has the potential to disrupt the electoral process by sowing seeds of suspicion, resulting in a loss of faith in the election’s outcome.
The so-called “journalists” who populate our media are greatly offended by these foreign attempts to “destroy our democracy.” Well, let’s say they’re offended some of the time. As with all things political in the Age of Trump, it depends who’s ox is being hacked, or more precisely, it depends upon whether they approve of the result of the election.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton lost to Trump. That year, as both The New York Times and The Washington Post reported it has done for decades, the Russians spread misinformation designed to disrupt the U.S. I wrote about Russian disinformation at length in these pages in May and July of 2017.
In July 2016, the Hillary campaign claimed that DNC emails were leaked by the Russians for the purpose of helping Donald Trump. Whether they actually were hacked or by whom has never been proven, principally because Hillary denied the FBI access to her server. In any event, the notion that the Russians were trying to help Trump is absurd. A Russian energy firm gave $35 million to the Clinton Foundation, after which Secretary of State Clinton sold 20% of our uranium to Russia. Having proven the Clintons could be bought, the Russians were not about to support loose cannon Trump.
The more likely reason for the claim of Russian hacking in July 2016, is that, in June 2016, Hillary paid $1 million for a false Russian dossier alleging that Trump was colluding with Russia. As you may recall, this lie led to illegal wiretapping of Trump, and a Special Counsel investigation. The FBI knew it was false, but used it anyway. And the media was righteously indignant about a phony claim of foreign interference with an election.
Fast forward to 2024. Iranian hackers have cracked into emails of the Trump campaign, and are trying to influence the presidential election. This is a fact verified by the FBI. Of course, to keep things “fair,” the FBI says that Iran also “attempted” to breach Kamala’s emails. This is a red herring, however, as there is no chance that Iran is seeking to damage the Democrat campaign.
Donald Trump imposed economic sanctions on Iran that nearly bankrupted the country. He even convinced China to stop buying Iranian oil. Iran was broke, and incapable of funding terrorism. Then Trump killed the Iran nuclear deal, and then he killed Iran’s surrogate, terrorist chief Soleimani. Biden and Harris removed the sanctions on Iran, gave Iran $6 billion, as well as more than $60 billion in oil revenue, and are trying to revive the nuclear deal.
In addition to not wanting Trump to be reelected, the Iranians are also trying to kill him. They issued a fatwa in 2020, for the deaths of Trump, Mike Pompeo, and John Bolton. That’s a fact. They’ve been hacking into government websites. That’s a fact, as the Feds indicted Iranians for that last year. They sent an agent to the U.S. to recruit hitmen to kill Trump. That’s a fact, as the agent was arrested in April.
The point of all this is that our media, which was so incensed by fake hacking in 2016, has said next to nothing about real hacking, and a foreign conspiracy to commit three murders in 2024.
The assassination attempt on Trump in July did nothing to peak the media’s interest in foreign actions designed to influence the result of a presidential election. Had it reminded the media of the responsibilities of true journalists, perhaps they would be taking more than a passing interest in the botched Secret Service protection of Trump, and the disturbing facts regarding the investigation of, or more precisely, the lack of an investigation into the alleged gunman who wounded Trump and two others, and who murdered another man.
They might wonder, for instance why a 20 year old loner, with no social media presence at all in the U.S., had three encrypted accounts in Belgium, Germany and New Zealand, how the nursing home food server developed the skills to construct sophisticated explosive devices, and why his body was quickly cremated.
I’m not a journalist, but in about 10 minutes I learned that Belgium is a hotbed of Islamist terrorist activity. The Atlantic reported in 2015 that more Jihadis come from Belgium than from anyplace else in Europe. German Islamic terrorists committed the Solingen knife rampage last week, and the Russian theater attack that killed 123 people. New Zealand Muslims are being recruited as foreign fighters, and New Zealand is a haven for terrorist money laundering.
The Kamala loving media apparently is uninterested in foreign hacking this year. That being the case, you’d think it would at least pay attention to attempts to influence the election by U.S. government agencies. But so long as these attempts are geared toward electing Democrats, they’re not interested.
In 2020, the FBI and the CIA attempted to “fix” the election by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop as “Russian disinformation.” We now know that many of the 51 Intelligence sources who signed the letter claiming the laptop was fake were still on the CIA payroll, with access to classified information. The CIA Director knew the claim was false, and the FBI knew, in 2019, that the Hunter laptop was genuine.
Despite knowing the truth, the FBI went to internet platforms and advised them to censor reports of Biden criminal activity in October 2020, in order to influence the outcome of the election. Mark Zuckerberg admitted this just this week. For some reason, however, the lapdog media has neglected to mention any of this.
The bottom line is, we should be concerned about hacking and interference that is intended to undermine our elections, no matter what its origin. The problem is that our Media Hacks are willing to aid and abet hackers who they think will advance their left wing ends.
