Previously: Trump Claims He’ll Pardon All J6ers “On Day One” Lindsey Graham’s relationship with Trump is bizarre, insofar as Trump actually believes anything he says. You shall recall that Lindsey was “never Trump” in 2016, and attacked Trump with John McCain throughout the first years of his first term. Now, however, Lindsey says he supports... Read More
Talking about pardoning the J6ers just brings attention to the fact he didn’t do it the first time. He wanted these poor people to do some kind of revolution to keep him in power, and urged them to do that, then he threw them all under the bus. He didn’t even start talking about them... Read More
Did you see this story reported in the whore American media?
And now a bit of good news consisting of a backward step after two forward: Last summer the US Supreme Court in Fischer v. United States overturned the key element in the Justice (sic) Department’s prosecutions of American patriots who attended the Trump rally and were accused of insurrection. The Supreme Court said that the... Read More
One good thing about the judiciary in former communist Europe was that no one, including party apparatchiks, believed its fraudulent language. This was the main reason the system collapsed. Court proceedings against political dissidents – officially dubbed “hostile elements” or “Western-sponsored fascist infiltrators” – were make-believe travesties where prosecutors projected their real Self into their...

Authors and their literary heroes are always subject to conflicting interpretations in different historical contexts. Sophocles’ tragedy Antigone was performed quite differently in the Greek city state of fifth-century Greece than it is in contemporary versions crafted by modern producers and directors beholden to modern literary critics. The story of the mythical and rebellious princess... Read More
The US Supreme Court has ruled that a president has immunity for official acts, but not for personal acts. Which is which will be a contentious issue. For example, if a president were to have the CIA, FBI, or Secret Service murder a political rival that would be a personal act. But when President Obama... Read More
The Supreme Court has ruled that law provides no basis for the obstruction charge brought against a January 6 protester who defended in court against the Justice (sic) Department’s false charges. But of course merrick garland had no interest in any facts. “Vengence is mine,” saith lord garland. “No it is not,” saith the U.S.... Read More
By the Numbers
Corporate media describe the Jan. 6, 2021, ("J6") assault on the U.S. Capitol – sparked by claims of fraud in 2020's presidential election – as an insurrection. But was it? Yet they never describe 2020 riots – sparked mainly by the Minneapolis police's killing of George Floyd – as insurrections. Then again, they should. Though... Read More
About a week ago, Chilean American independent journalist, Gonzalo Lira, died in a Ukrainian prison. Gonzalo Lira certainly had bravado, charisma, and a big ego, and was constantly reinventing himself. For instance, from a filmmaker to libertarian financial journalist, to PUA/passport bro, to geopolitical correspondent, and finally a POW/prisoner of conscious. Regardless, I found him... Read More
The Supreme Court faces a quandary: It must choose between democracy and the Constitution. Compared to Trump v. Anderson, the notorious case of Bush v. Gore was a straightforward affair: It should not have been heard. Because elections are administered by the states, the Florida Supreme Court's 2000 ruling ought to have been the last... Read More
Zero Hedge hosted a “was January 6 an inside job or an insurrection?” debate between six people representing each side. Alex Jones, Glenn Greenwald, and Darren Beattie represented the anti-conspiracy side, while Destiny and two Jews represented the theory that Trump was planning to use disorganized groups of boomers to seize control of the US...

Informed people understand that the indictments, civil charges, and judicial rulings against Trump all involve what is politely called “a stretch of the law.” But they do not seem to grasp that Trump’s defense against the charges is not based on the falseness of the charges but on whether he has presidential immunity. In other... Read More

The owners shredded the Constitution. Legal protections, or even their simulation of a simulation, no longer exist. In Florida, questioning a historical event or the policies of a Middle East country risks ten years in prison. Taking selfies at a legal demonstration endorsed by a sitting President of the United States can get you almost... Read More
Colorado’s 100% Democrat Supreme Court has ruled that Trump cannot stand for president in Colorado because he is an insurrectionist. But Trump has not been convicted of being an insurrectionist. It is only an orchestrated Democrat political charge untested in court and the appeal process. So here we have total proof that the Colorado Supreme... Read More
Fake elections for a fake country. America is not a country. It’s a slave colony for the Jews. Think about it. Reuters: Yeah but we’re talking about the GOP primary, bro. Of course, this is a setup for a SCOTUS case on whether January 6 is the same thing as the Civil War. Trump vowed... Read More
It is a paradox that Jack Smith, who in my opinion has less integrity than the infamous Stalinist prosecutor Andrey Vyshinsky who prosecuted Stalin’s show trials of the Bolsheviks, was appointed director of the Justice (sic) Departments Office of Public Integrity. Perhaps recognizing Smith’s lack of concern with justice, Merrick Garland, the worst Attorney General... Read More
New US House Speaker Mike Johnson struck a blow for liberty and justice last week when he finally authorized the release of all the tapes from the January 6, 2021 “insurrection.” We were told by no less than President Biden himself that this was the “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.” The...

It’s not surprising that Congressional Democrats had “security concerns” about GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson’s decision to release long-withheld Capitol security footage of the January 6, 2021 Mostly Peaceful Protest: it certainly has made the always-fantastic Regime Media Narrative that this was some sort of unprecedented “insurrection” (already definitively debunked in VDARE.com’s February 9 2021...

America’s reputation as “the land of the free” is rooted in the Anglo-Saxon legal and political tradition, not in diversity and multiculturalism. Law as a shield of the people instead of a weapon in the hands of rulers is a British achievement that Britain’s American colonies inherited. It was the accomplishment of a specific ethnicity...

US President Donald Trump, whose reelection was stolen, faces a kangaroo rigged trial as did Nikolai Bukharin, described by Lenin as “the golden boy of the revolution,” at the hands of Stalin and his prosecutor Vyshinsky, who convicted Bukharin of being a capitalist agent. This was like convicting Lenin of being a capitalist agent. Biden... Read More

This video is available on Rumble, BitChute, and Odysee. Sometimes, justice is a joke. Just this week, Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys was sentenced to 22 years in prison because of what happened at the Capitol on January 6th. Did he break in? Did he attack the police? Did he set fires? No. He... Read More
General-Secretary Leonid Brezhnev of the USSR
For Americans such as myself who came of age during the 1970s or early 1980s, the Soviet Union always carried the whiff of a decaying ideological empire, ruled by a decrepit political leadership class that had long since lost the trust of its own people. Such was my opinion at the time, and nothing I... Read More
I don’t think we can just keep making these comparisons to the USSR, because repeating that same comparison is really starting to trivial the severity of what is going on here. But I can’t think of anything else to compare it to. We’ve never in history seen political show trials on this scale, except under... Read More

Imagine it – we’re two and a half years out from the event. They knew exactly who every single one of these people was within hours. The Capitol has thousands of cameras. And unless you don’t have a driver’s license, the FBI has your biometrics, and can identify you with CCTV footage. Frankly, they probably... Read More
That Jamaican immigrant Tanya S. Chutkan is the judge in the Trump Jan 6 lynching sends a message to all Americans: this is a communist coup and the Biden Mob intends to emulate Joseph Stalin’s Show Trials. Stalin in the 1930s successfully intimidated all Russian opposition and the Show Trials were merciless spectacles that played... Read More
We always thought the big indictment would be over January 6. Now, apparently, that’s what they’re doing. Apparently. New York Times: Oh, jeez. Why not indict him for walking a duck on a Tuesday? Hosting a bingo game that lasted more than 5 hours? Selling alcohol during a hurricane? Using

Our misadventures have been appalling in the political, economic and military spheres. None grates so hard and so long on the body politic as the growing litany of judicial wrongs: plain, old-fashioned miscarriages of justice. None is marked by so much inaction on our part as the seemingly endless failure of judges, juries and the... Read More
I post again my explanation of The Political Outlook. But first I offer more explanation why Trump is our last chance despite his incorrect positions on some issues, and despite his incompetence in his first term in staffing his administration and failure to stand behind General Flynn, thus setting off Russiagate and marking himself for...

"Government," observed the 14th-century Arab political theorist Ibn Khaldoun, "is an institution which prevents injustice other than such as it commits itself." Draconian prison sentences handed down to those involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot highlight this truism. Though he didn't enter the Capitol that day, Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes, 57, received... Read More

…and (some) devasting *blockades* as well. Remembering three major insurrections of the 20th century—the 1932 ‘Bonus Army’ invasion of Washington D.C., the nationalized union occupations of 1936-37, and the 1965 ‘Bloody Sunday’ bridge blockade in Selma—helps put the Jan 6 ‘assault on democracy’ into context. The two earlier uprisings are now largely forgotten, but the... Read More
On Thursday, three FBI whistleblowers testified before Congress about the runaway corruption they witnessed while working for our nation’s domestic intelligence service. These public declarations, made in front of the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, coincide with release of the Durham report. Special Counsel John Durham’s independent investigation found... Read More
Combating terrorism has become the top priority of American intelligence services since the 9/11 attacks. At first, surveillance tools and invasive national security investigations focused on Muslims, but since the 2016 election of Donald Trump, the 2017 Unite the Right protest, and the breach of the US Capitol in 2021, the FBI, Department of Homeland...

I have stressed for many years that prosecutors and judges have turned trials into convicting the defendant regardless of innocence or guilt. The methods of producing convictions include withholding exculpatory evidence of the defendant, paying false witnesses with money or reduced or dropped charges for false testimony against the defendant, and piling on false charges...

About a year-and-a-half ago, a man named Vincent commented on one of my YouTube political music videos by posting, “You wrote a GREAT letter of resignation to that ridiculous, feckless university. You’re another Thomas Paine. I salute you, sir!” The video, titled “Take Your Mask and Your Vax (and Shove ‘em Where the Sun Don’t... Read More
Jacob Chansley, labeled “Q-Anon Shaman” by the presstitutes, was released from prison after Tucker Carlson showed videos that revealed no insurrection but Chansley being shown around inside the capital by police officers. Prosecutors, of course, never admit that they framed anyone, so they say the proof of his innocence, which they withheld from Chansley’s attorneys... Read More
When the Republicans finally released the January 6 footage, showing that none of the accused actually did anything, I said it didn’t matter, because it’s already ancient history and the Republicans should be condemned for waiting two years to oppose something they could have opposed on day 1 (and instead chose to side with Democrats...

So, the past few years of America’s dark descent have come down to this? After the manufactured hysteria and authoritarian power grabs of COVID, after the fraudulent presidential election of 2020, amid the continuing persecution of hundreds of January 6 protestors, and amid the continuing censorship, warmongering, political and financial corruption, racial and gender obsessions,...

Chronicles magazine is, by far, my favorite print journal. Over the many years I have subscribed, it has been on many occasions a life line, an excellent purveyor of solid, well-reasoned and expressed opinion and fact, often quite unique in that role. It is the leading voice of what some call “paleoconservatism,” or traditional conservatism.... Read More
The new footage released from the Capitol Storm shows that the QAnon Shaman was not only totally peaceful while in the Capitol, but after Donald Trump tweeted that people should go home, he started helping to evacuate the building. The whole time he was being prosecuted, he was giving interviews saying “how would I know... Read More

January 6, 2021, was a disaster for the American Right. Despite the emotional satisfaction some felt, the riot at the Capitol discredited President Donald Trump, allowed the Left to call conservatives rioters, justified yet more repression, and forced Republicans who had been investigating the 2020 election into full retreat. It would have been far better... Read More
They charged the subjects with murders they did not commit, all while the accusers did not hesitate to sweep their real crimes under the rug. Show trials were performed, including in televised form, presenting confessions extracted under torture as unimpeachable evidence. On a gut level, many sense that the cynical litany they were taught as... Read More
The New American Civil War is NOW
The week of March 6-10, 2013, has been a pivotal time in the American political landscape. Beginning on Monday the 6th, popular television personality Tucker Carlson, in his highly rated 8 p.m. primetime program, Tucker Carlson Tonight, initiated an unraveling of the contents of thousands of security videos which carefully record what actually occurred on...

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Republican Kevin McCarthy, released video tapes of the alleged “January 6 Insurrection” to Tucker Carlson, who used the video evidence to demonstrate on his popular Fox News program that the “insurrection” was a hoax created by Democrats, media whores, federal agents, and Capitol Police. The rioting was done... Read More
Why did Tucker Carlson get this footage exclusively? Is it because he’s the Pied Piper, leading us into Joe Biden’s war with the Chinese, so he can put a full clampdown on all of us? Regardless: it is important footage. New York Post: “The tapes show the Capitol Police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped... Read More
Nicole Reffitt, whose husband Guy is now serving over 7 years in prison.
While in Washington for the Rage Against the War Machine rally on Sunday, February 19, I took time out on Friday and Saturday to check out the nightly DC Gulag vigil outside the DC Central Detention Facility. Across the street from the jail in a blocked-off area dubbed the “Freedom Corner,” some serious patriots are... Read More
Previously: FBI Informant Ray Epps Tries to Frame Baked Alaska – Says He Was Plotting Against Cops! A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced livestreamer Baked Alaska to sixty days in prison for filming the Capitol Storm. He was literally running a stream when he went inside. None of the mainstream Jew media journalists who followed... Read More
There is no doubt about it Watch: The Real Story of January 6 | Documentary: The alleged “January 6 insurrection” is entirely an orchestrated event.

Recent court filings reveal that Google, by means of its Location History function that many Google users (often unknowingly) opt into, has tracked and recorded extensive location data for over 500 million people. Few of us are aware our location histories are being tracked and recorded in this way. Law enforcement agencies — state and... Read More
I have watched and warned for years while American unity was dismantled and the history of our country falsely rewritten. The liberals are responsible, as some have acknowledged, blaming their trust of the left who maintained that they just wanted to broaden the discussion when in fact the left intended to close all discussion and...
