The “Conspiracy” to Kill Trump By Cliff Kincaid Speaking on Fox News the day after the debate, Eric Trump made a comment that reverberates. He said about his father, “He’s getting shot at every single day.” He meant that his father is under verbal and legal attack. But the real threat is physical. Biden’s disastrous debate performance means the only way the Deep State can avoid another Trump presidency is if they take him out, Vincent Foster-style. The second thing that Eric Trump said that was ominous concerned the nature of the Deep State. He wondered who was running the government while Joe Biden was hiding in Camp David, the military compound in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland. “Who’s running the government?” Eric Trump asked. There are two answers to that. One is that Biden’s Administration is staffed by Obama personnel. That’s a documented fact. The other is that federal intelligence agencies like the FBI and CIA do not want Trump to win and will work to make sure he never returns to the White House. In the wake of Biden’s debate performance, they are desperate. Andrew McCarthy’s “Conspiracy Theory” To understand the depth of their hatred for Trump, consider the perspective of former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, a paid contributor on Fox News and a go-to guy for “conservatives” defending Trump. Even Trump cites his articles. But McCarthy can be wrong, and seriously wrong. His recent defense of the FBI raid on Trump’s home is a case study. He whitewashes the FBI’s dirty deeds. It was McCarthy who defended Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a former FBI director, as an honest professional. That began the Russia-gate hoax that tied up President Trump’s first term with Russian disinformation peddled by Hillary. Now, McCarthy is saying that the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid, in which agents were authorized to use force, was standard procedure. “All search warrants involve the possibility of forced entry,” he says. He adds, “…as a matter of common sense, the FBI always has an operational plan for carrying out a court-authorized search. That plan customarily involves reminding the search teams of the FBI’s use-of-force policies.” His article ran under a headline calling the claim about the FBI using “lethal force” at Mar-a-Lago “stupid” and he added, “The claim is political red meat for conspiracy theorists.” So anybody who questions the honesty and integrity of the FBI is a conspiracy theorist? On the contrary, the FBI invites “conspiracy theories” based on its track record. It is stupid not to assume the worst about the strategy and tactics of this federal agency, especially when it is targeting an enemy of the state like Trump at his own home. Mexican Drug Cartels Target Trump Our special report, “Marked for Death,” looks at Trump’s enemies, including the FBI, left-wing radicals, and the Iranian terrorist regime. Another threat to Trump comes from the Mexican drug cartels working with the government of Mexico and trafficking fentanyl with the assistance of the Chinese Communist Party that supplies the chemicals. Incredibly, during the recent Mexican elections, there were more than 30 assassinations of candidates arranged by the cartels, to make sure their drug and human smuggling operations into the United States continue without hindrance. The dominant leftist Morena Party must be considered an enemy of the United States. Trump, who has promised military attacks on the cartels, is their enemy. Who Planted the Pipe Bombs? Before we examine the other death threats against Trump and other Republicans, consider the placement of pipe bombs near the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Republican National Committee (RNC) on January 5, 2021. Rep. Thomas Massie notes that ATF Director Steve Dettelbach recently refused to answer Congress’s questions about the pipe bombs. “It’s been three years without answers from the Biden administration. What information is Dettelbach hiding?” asks Massie. Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin says the FBI obstructed the investigation into the alleged perpetrator, leading some observers to conclude the FBI planted the bombs. It was designed to make the ‘insurrection,” in which unarmed Trump supporters were escorted into the Capitol, look dangerous. In this confrontation, military vet and Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt was murdered in cold blood. Investigative journalist Jack Cashill noted that the FBI raised the reward for finding the bomber but he “has vanished into the ether as seamlessly as did John Doe #2, Timothy McVeigh’s accomplice in the April 1995 destruction of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.” The D.C. bomber joins John Doe #2 as being among the “Others Unknown,” as McVeigh’s attorney noted in a book by that name. We still do not have the full truth about how the FBI and other federal agencies provoked the “insurrection” and planted the pipe bombs. In the 1992 Ruby Ridge incident, Randy Weaver’s wife was killed by an FBI sniper. Weaver was set-up by federal agents on a gun charge and the FBI and other federal agents surrounded his home, opening fire on his family. Andrew McCarthy and the Feds Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor, completely ignores the circumstances surrounding the raid on Trump’s home. For no legitimate reason, McCarthy is biased in favor of the feds, when federal agencies do not deserve such respect and admiration. When McCarthy says the FBI plan “customarily involves reminding the search teams of the FBI’s use-of-force policies,” he ignores the history of this agency, including recent history. In the case of Mark Houck, a pro-lifer, nearly twenty-five FBI agents raided his home on September 23, 2022, arresting him without explanation and taking him to the FBI Headquarters in Philadelphia. The agents had their guns drawn. One agent had a ballistic shield and long gun. Another agent had a battering ram. Houck was and is a peaceful citizen, a Catholic, a father. In the court case, which examined whether Houck’s participation in a pro-life protest that somehow was construed by the feds as harassment of abortion workers, Houck was found not guilty. He was defended by the Thomas Moore Society. The FBI defended the raid, saying their agents employed “standard practices” against Houck. It sounds a lot like the FBI’s defense of the raid on Trump’s home. Threatening a Peaceful Catholic Father Further, court documents in the Houck case reveal the following: “Mr. Houck observed that the agents were wielding firearms, battering rams, a crowbar, and were equipped with heavily armored vests, ballistic helmets, and shields. Marked and unmarked government vehicles surrounded his home and lined his driveway. “Mr. Houck also observed rifles, including AR-styled rifles and handguns aimed at him from his porch, his yard, and his driveway. Agents crouched behind their vehicles and aimed their guns at him as if they were arresting a dangerous criminal. “Two agents were in the rear of Mr. Houck’s home and scared Mr. Houck’s daughter, T.H., when she discovered agents dressed in black behind the home. T.H. observed that the agents were holding rifles and were looking into the Houcks’ home through the back door windows.” In the Houck case, Senators asked “…what factors led to the Justice Department and FBI executing an arrest warrant against him instead of using less aggressive tactics, including a summons to appear? Please explain how the execution of the search warrant complied with Attorney General Garland’s use of force memorandum.” There is no explanation, other than a pro-abortion and anti-Catholic bias that guides what the Biden Justice Department is doing. In both the Houck and Trump cases, the bias involves federal agencies that are heavily armed. That makes Trump a special target. Now that Biden is toast, the only avenue left for these agencies is to make Trump toast, too. That way, Biden and/or his replacement has a chance.

The Senate Candidate for the Deep State By Cliff Kincaid He is the candidate who abandoned his Catholic faith to make himself a voice for murdering the unborn. No, he is not Joe Biden, although that characterization applies to the current occupant of the oval office. He is Larry Hogan of Maryland, one of the most cynical politicians running in 2024. A true RINO, Republican In Name Only, he is running as a Republican but will likely caucus with the Democrats if he wins his Senate race. He is not even “states’ rights” on abortion, which is Trump’s new position. Hogan is “pro-choice” and will vote to codify the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that allowed abortion on demand nationally but was overturned and sent the issue back to the states. Conservatives in the “Free State” of Maryland are not fooled by Hogan, although I listened recently to Frederick County (Maryland) Right to Life representatives endorse Hogan as the lesser of two evils in the Senate race against Angela Alsobrooks, the Democratic Party candidate. Evil is still evil, noted Fred Propheter, president of the Frederick County Conservative Club, the sponsor of the right-to-life event. If the unborn child is a human being, why permit some states to violate the right to life? Hogan wants abortion legalized on a national basis, ignoring what the states may do. So when you hear that the Republican Party is now “united” under Trump, don’t forget about Larry Hogan. Hogan Hates Trump Former President Donald Trump seemed to reluctantly endorse the former Maryland governor, saying, “Yeah I’d like to see him win.” It was hardly enthusiastic. The favor was not returned. Showing his disdain for the Republican candidate for president, Hogan’s team responded saying, “Governor Hogan has been clear he is not supporting President Trump, just as he didn’t in 2016 and 2020.” Hogan’s campaign is clearly designed to pick up Democrat votes in heavily Democratic Maryland but he is counting on a few Republicans to vote for him as well, despite his hatred of Trump. That remains to be seen. Republicans can decide not to vote for Hogan by putting principle above party. A new poll showing Hogan losing to the Democrat, Angela Alsobrooks, also demonstrates that many Republicans do not have high regard for the former governor. As reported by the Baltimore banner, a new poll “reported that 26% of Republicans view Hogan unfavorably. In a state where Democrats double the number of Republicans, party defectors make Hogan’s hill steeper. About 8% of Democrats view Alsobrooks unfavorably, a smaller proportion of a much larger voting bloc.” But Hogan is counting on Republicans voting for a RINO because of “influential” media personalities such as the ageing and decrepit Brit Hume of Fox News, who propose fooling the voters for raw political power. Way past his prime and fumbling and mumbling on the air like Biden, Hume is trying to keep himself relevant on the cable channel by bashing Lara Trump as “stupid” for having criticized the former Maryland governor. Hogan Versus Lara Trump Lara Trump is now Republican National Committee co-chair and understands that the Republican candidate for the Senate in Maryland is a RINO who made a stupid statement about respecting the kangaroo court verdict in the Donald J. Trump bookkeeping case. Hogan promises to vote like a Democrat but campaigns under the Republican label. He had said people should “respect” the anti-Trump verdict, when any honest observer could easily conclude it was a railroad. Hogan, now campaigning for Democratic votes, hates President Trump and what he represents. He refuses to take accounts of vote fraud in 2020 seriously. When he was governor, he was known as “Lockdown Larry” during COVID, closing churches and keeping pot shops open. His hold on the Republican Party has always been weak, and he is now openly advertising his sympathy with the Democratic Party, even while he retains the Republican label. He is a fraud, pure and simple. He is a Democrat masquerading in Republican clothes. This does not bother Brit Hume, who is playing out his final years in broadcasting by promoting the kind of liberal Republicanism that Trump rejected and which made the GOP synonymous with the elite term “Country Club.” Hogan won the Republican Senate nomination by campaigning as a Trump-stye candidate opposed to open borders. After winning the nomination, he has returned to form, sounding anti-Trump, disavowing Trump’s tepid endorsement, and declaring his faith in abortion, not the Catholic religion in which he was raised. If it had any credibility, the Catholic Church would excommunicate him. Hogan Runs From the Republican Party He says he will not go to the Republican National Convention but went to the state convention to collect the endorsement of the Maryland Republican Party. In short, he is a flip-flopping politician with no principles. If he were honest, he would openly declare himself a Democrat and stop the masquerade. Hume said Lara Trump’s position should be “Please, Mr. Hogan, Please Gov. Hogan, you do whatever you have to do to get elected, and some of the things you say and you believe in don’t agree with what I think, that’s OK, do what you have to do.” Hume said. “That’s how politics is played by smart people.” No, that’s why politics alienates smart voters who want a choice, not an echo. The advice, “Do whatever you have to do to get elected,” is cynicism. It is what Hogan is doing. It is his game plan. But why should the RNC endorse this cynical political strategy? Ordinary Republican contributors would revolt if they saw their money going into his campaign. Supporting Hogan is counter-productive. Hume’s answer is that a Hogan victory might help the GOP take the Senate. Hogan is Really a Democrat But there is nothing to stop Hogan from changing party affiliations once he is elected, from Republican to Democrat or Independent. Consider Senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat turned Independent. Or Bernie Sanders, a Democrat claiming to be an independent. America is at a crossroads, with a Democratic Party already in the Marxist camp and moving even further left, and a Republican Party that is growing more conservative under Trump. Hogan is a backslider, away from conservatism and toward the Democratic Party, even on a matter of life and death, like the right of the unborn. We now understand that Brit Hume thinks having the Republicans control the Senate is more important than having the Republican Party stand for something. Such comments undermine the credibility of Fox News as a “conservative” outlet. Lara Trump had said Hogan’s desire for “respect” of the flawed verdict in the bookkeeping case was a big negative. Hogan, she said, “doesn’t deserve the respect of anyone in the Republican Party at this point, and quite frankly anybody in America.” She could have gone further, noting the evidence that Hogan is appealing to Democrats, not Republicans, to win in Maryland. This not only means his “Republicanism” is questionable but that he lacks character. As such, he would be a Senator from the Deep State, Maryland, where one of the most prominent intelligence agencies, the NSA, is based. Maryland is also home to dozens of defense contractors feeding the Deep State and is scheduled to be the home of the new headquarters of the FBI. The media love Hogan, knowing he is a thorn (or knife) in the side of Trump. After his support for the kangaroo court verdict, Politico ran a story under the headline, “Lara Trump declines to say if RNC will support Larry Hogan after trial comments.” This is supposed to be controversial. Where is it written that because somebody says he is a Republican that he is automatically entitled to financial support from the RNC? The publication added that “Lara Trump and the RNC did not come to Hogan’s defense” after his comments. It was not strange on their part. What is strange is that Hogan is running as a Republican and declared his support for the verdict before it was even rendered. The process was already flawed, as Hogan could easily ascertain, since the judge was a partisan political operative and he ruled out witnesses for the defense, that is for Trump. None of this bothered Hogan. The only way for the party to respond is to reject him and let Hogan run as a Democrat. This is only common sense. Some argue that the Maryland Republican Party should withdraw its support for Hogan and those truly concerned about the right to life should form a group called “Pro-Lifers Against Hogan” to send a real pro-life message. That was my advice to Frederick Right to Life. My other piece of advice concerned a suggestion from a local pro-lifer that they should approach the Catholic Church for financial support, perhaps through the Knights of Colombus. It’s a good group that does Pro-life work but the church as a whole is terribly compromised by the sex scandals. The Archdiocese of Baltimore has declared bankruptcy to avoid paying out too much money to the victims. The real debate should be over what the Republican Party stands for, and whether the true alternative for voters is the Constitution Party, which has a solid conservative platform. Pro-life activist Randall Terry and Pastor Stephen Broden are on the ticket this year, hoping to get on dozens of state ballots. Trump’s so-called “state’s rights” approach, to let babies live or die based on what voters in the states decide, is another major problem for pro-lifers. Either babies have a right to live or they don’t. Third Party Options One can argue that a vote for Terry/Broden is wasted. But voting for Hogan is a wasted vote, too, and yet the “experts” like Brit Hume say winning at any cost for the GOP is the goal of political life in America. That’s only for those willing to sell their souls. It is unfortunate and sad that an “analyst” like Brit Hume has taken the tired road of flacking for the Republican Party no matter what it does and what candidates are claiming to be carrying its banner. A real analyst should try to be objective, ripping the mask off phonies and frauds. Instead, Hume’s mask has already been ripped off, demonstrating his own stupidity and Hogan-like lack of character. He should retire. And so should Hogan.
Democrats Run “Gay Pride” Events By Cliff Kincaid Rainbow flags were everywhere on June 22 when thousands of Democrats rallied in support of “gay pride,” abortion, condoms, transgenderism, and marijuana at the annual “Frederick Pride” festival in Frederick County, Maryland. So-called “pride” events like this one are barely disguised Democratic Party get-out-the-vote efforts to get Joe Biden back in the White House. My report complete with photographs documents that, for those at “Frederick Pride,” the day’s events included performances by “drag artists,” with young children in attendance, and a pro-gay speech by Maryland’s “progressive” governor, Wes Moore, wearing a “TRANS MARYLAND” sticker on his shirt and blessing a queer youth with a big hug. Moore, advertised as the “next Obama” and a future Democratic Party candidate for president, served on the board of a marijuana company before he was elected. Young people with gender dysphoria need understanding and help in many cases. It can be a terrible phase of a young person’s life. But showcasing the syndrome at a “gay pride” event with “drag artists” or “performers” present is not proper therapy. It only makes things worse. Nevertheless, attendees were encouraged to vote for local board of education candidates who support “trans and gender nonconforming students.” In truth, of course, the “pride” event raises serious theological questions, in addition to the political uses the Democrats make of these people. The hundreds of “rainbows” on display at this event were not symbolic of the rainbow that traditional Christianity regards as the covenant between God and man (Genesis 9:17) and His promise to save humanity from evil and wickedness. The “pride” behind the “gay pride” event reflects a different kind of rainbow, in which political elites devise a rebellion against God’s plan for men and women and instead substitute a man-made concoction of artificial gender distinctions based upon political and ideological choices, not biological facts and DNA. It is a form of Cultural Marxism, designed to further undermine the Christian traditions of the United States. In fact, we are witnessing the destruction of the traditional family, a unit of stability that guarantees the survival of the United States and is based on a man, woman, and children. As such, the “gay pride” event was linked to abortion, which was a big emphasis of the Frederick County event, as boxes labeled “abortion pills” and condoms were available for free to anyone requesting them. One of the strangest pro-abortion buttons on display was titled, “Funding Our Futures,” which is bizarre considering human beings are destroyed in the womb. But such absurdity was the nature of this event. For male homosexuals, an HIV testing site was available, an indication that anal sex is still a major health hazard, as the CDC documents. Simply put, it is not the way to have sex and create children for a healthy society. Instead, it is a sure path to sexually transmitted diseases and an early death. The group “TRANS Maryland” was selling buttons that proclaimed “Any pronouns” would do as well as “he/him,” among others. This is the current trend, designed to further confuse gender roles and make new “victims” of the old Christian tradition. The group even offers letters for “gender affirming surgery,” now said to be available from 10 providers in Maryland. Such “surgery” involves mutilating children to make them into something they are not. The sad nature of the event, reflecting confusion about sexual roles, was upstaged by what the local rag, the Frederick News-Post, which was an official sponsor, called the performances of “drag artists” or men dressed up as women. The paper reported one of these disgusting dance routines as follows: “As the drag queen danced her way around the amphitheater, the sun reflected off of her sequined headdress and sparking tights as hundreds of people in the crowd flapped multicolored fans and flags in time with the thumping music.” The “drag artists” were men dressed up as women, wearing wigs and lip stick, gathering dollar bills from the ecstatic crowd as they finished their dance routines. It was truly sad. Yet, children were exposed to it. As a long-time journalist who covers these events first-hand, with photographs, this event was a real shocker, as my report reproduces photos demonstrating the shocking distribution of free condoms, abortion pills, and directions to the local marijuana “dispensary.” Stickers even proclaimed “Shout Your Abortion.” Those who say Joe Biden can’t attract a crowd are missing the point. These “gay pride” events are comprised of voters for the Democratic Party. You can see in the list of sponsors and vendors that they are run by the Democratic Party and designed to get members of the queer community out to vote a “straight” Democratic ticket. This is how Democrats get their votes in early and often, overwhelming Republicans at the polls on election day. As I was taking pictures, several people running exhibits asked me to register to vote, so I can vote for Democrats in November and abortion on the ballot. It was designed this way. The list of official sponsors/vendors included the Democratic Central Committee of Frederick, Frederick County Progressives, Frederick Democratic Socialists, Frederick County Teachers Association, and Planned Parenthood of Maryland. Marijuana businesses included Curaleaf, gLeaf, and Grow West. In this case, as I document in my report complete with photographs, thousands of people showed up, in sweltering 95-degree heat. These are committed people who believe their future lies with the Democratic Party. Local Democrats, including Democrat Rep. David Trone’s office, were giving away policy papers from the Biden Administration on how queer organizations can claim their fair share of largesse from the federal government, in the name of “equity.” But literally dozens of other organizations, including some progressive “Christian” churches, were there, too, giving their blessings to conduct that is clearly outlawed in the Bible of Bible-believing Christians. In Frederick County, just outside of Washington, D.C., the County Executive is a Democrat, Jessica Fitzwater, who recently announced a new Frederick County requirement that all employees take diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) training. She made the announcement wearing a dress with the rainbow colors.
Errors of Russia: the “Third Rome” and the Mark of the Beast How Russia can be securely identified as just another among so many threats, not to the USA, but to the Catholic Church 11/06/2024 (Reprinted with permission from the National Studies Institute). By Cristian Derosa For Catholics, the message of Our Lady in 1917, at Fatima, should at least provoke some perplexity, or deep hesitation and prudence, regarding the eventual support for a regime that killed at least 100 million people, persecuted Christians, and spread the atheistic ideology of communism across the four corners of the planet. However, if there are still doubts about the demonic nature of Putin’s regime, some reflections may be necessary. For those who observe purely geopolitically, it may seem that the objective of present-day Russia is merely to destroy the United States, the archenemy since the Cold War. If this is true, in a sense, it is also true that the USA would be just the appetizer for the grand feast Russia prepares. As soon as it feeds on Western souls through its expansion, the occultist czarist regime will inevitably advance against the Catholic Church, the only obstacle still standing (albeit faltering) to global control by all agendas. After promising the liberation of the world’s workers through Marxism, which resulted in enslavement and genocide, Russia now promises another liberation: that from Western globalism. A large number of conservatives have come to see themselves represented by this kind of conservative and traditional resistance against the materialism of the “culture of death” advancing upon nations. However, there are more reasons to see Russia as the true government of the Antichrist, despite its accusations against the West of being the “civilization of the Antichrist”. In the view of Orthodox Christianity, after the schism between East and West, Rome lost the role of the center of Christianity, transferred to Constantinople. But with the fall of Constantinople into the hands of the Turks in 1453, this power would have passed to Moscow, the “Third Rome”. Western conservatives have “bought” this version of history, based on the ideological and geopolitical component that presents the invasion of Ukraine as a symbol of a conflict of continents, Russia and its allies against NATO expansionism. This narrative, which benefits by transforming Russia from aggressor to victim, strengthens all other justifying sub-narratives. In an article for the Providence website, Matija Statham, a Croatian columnist on politics and religion, summarizes how these ideas have penetrated the Russian Orthodox imagination and reflect profoundly in the Kremlin’s current policy. But the spiritual foundation for the war in Ukraine, as well as for other Russian actions worldwide, may be even darker. One of the key concepts for understanding the spiritual justification for the entire programmatic arrangement of current Russian ideology is Katechon, a biblical term that developed into a notion of political philosophy. Originally found in 2 Thessalonians 2:6–7, it deals with an eschatological reality according to which Christians should be prepared for the Day of the Lord. If the Antichrist is to be revealed before the Second Coming, special attention becomes necessary, not only to identify him but also to what restrains him. Before the revelation of the Antichrist, says St. Paul, there will be the removal of “something or someone that restrains him”, that is, prevents him from fully manifesting. Verse 6 uses the neuter gender, τὸ κατέχον; and verse 7, the masculine, ὁ κατέχων. This means that the Katechon is the force that will resist the Antichrist. “(…) the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. But the one who restrains must do so only for the present, until he is removed from the scene. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.” (2 Thessalonians 7-8) In antiquity, some linked the Katechon to the Roman Empire and others to the Roman Church. There was much discussion on the subject among Christian scholars, but in the West, it lost strength. According to Statham, the interest in Katechon and its speculations found a home in the Russian clergy and intelligentsia of the 19th century and in the interwar period, in the so-called “conservative revolution”, a movement that had a strong influence on the recovery of ancestral traditions by Nazism, but also revealed names like Thomas Mann, Hugo Hoffmanstall, among others. The two strands in which Katechon was relevant are those that survive today almost exclusively in the ideas of Aleksandr Dugin, the Russian clergy, and the Kremlin’s justifications. The term Katechon gained strength precisely in Nazism, through thinkers like Carl Schmitt, who in his work Nomos of the Earth, suggested the traditional historical importance of the idea of this force of the “catechontic restrainer” that allows for a Christianity centered in Rome and that “meant historical power to restrict the appearance of the Antichrist”. For Schmitt, the Katechon represents the dream of building the ancient State of the Roman Empire, with all its police and military powers to impose orthodox ethics. In his diary, posthumously published, the German thinker clearly says: “I believe in the Katechon: it is, for me, the only possible way to understand Christian history and to consider it significant (…). The Katechon needs to be named for each epoch of the last 1948 years. The place has never been vacant; otherwise, we would no longer be present.” Schmitt is one of the favorite and most cited thinkers by Dugin and his followers. It happens that, from the secular Marxist point of view, the Katechon also has its importance and value as a social utopia. Marxists like Paolo Virno, in his book Multitude: Between Innovation and Denial. For Virno, who discusses the term in light of Schmitt’s thought, Katechon is a concept of human integration, being that which prevents the mythical “war of all against all”, of Hobbes, as well as Western globalist totalitarianism. It is, for him, a force that although prevents and contains, does not eliminate any of these historical forces, only delaying their advance. More or less in line with Habermas’s concepts of informative action, Virno proposes the concept of katechon as “the human capacity to use language, which allows for the conception of the negation of something, and also allows for the conceptualization of something that can be different from what it is”. In this sense, all the spiritual or traditional proposals suggested by Russia have their secular version, wisely exploited by allied movements of the Russian bloc in their dystopias. It would not be an exaggeration to suppose that the Russian synthesis of Eurasianism intends, or can generate, an evolution of globalism into broader terms and directly pointed towards Russian imperialism. In 1990, Dugin published a book entitled Metaphysics of the Gospel: Orthodox Esotericism. In it, the Russian relates the Katechon concept to the historical role and mission of Russia in history, referring to it as the “Third Rome” and linking it to the traditional concept of “harmony” between Church and State, that is, in a new imperial religion. More recently, as the invasion of Ukraine began, Dugin wrote on his Facebook: “We are now in a war of spirits. Katechon vs. Antekeimenos [Beast of the Apocalypse]”. Like Dugin, Patriarch Kirill, a former KGB agent and Putin’s colleague, also frequently cites the term or its variations to justify a eschatological role of Russia. Kirill said about the incursion into Ukraine that the war “has no physical meaning, but rather metaphysical”. Despite claims that Dugin’s direct influence over Putin is indeed limited, the same cannot be said of the patriarch. Statham also recalls that Kirill said, in April 2022, that “Holy Scriptures mention a certain force that prevents the coming of the Antichrist into the world”. In this sense, it matters little how much Putin actually believes in these mystical narratives. What counts is that his actions perfectly agree as if he did believe. Many naive Western conservatives have fallen for Putin’s image of Russia as a defender of what he himself calls “traditional values”. When they look at politics, media, culture, and dominant corporations of the modern West, they also see “total Satanism”. But while, at least declaratively, recognizing the problems that exist in the West, Putin is far from being the solution. Putin’s “traditional values” are not Christian traditional values, but rather values from some other tradition. Or, let’s take it a step further: if a kind of “culture of death” dominates in the West, Putin’s Russia only offers another kind of “culture of death”. What Western conservatives often forget is that Russian dominant politics is, in essence, as anti-Christian as Western politics, but in a different way. Their moralistic view, according to which the community they belong to has the right to dominate others, by any means, including the mass murder of innocents, does not reflect true Christianity but implies a kind of paganism different from current Western post-Christianity. And that’s why, instead of the Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, I believe the biblical quote that best describes the current situation is: “How can Satan drive out Satan?” (Mark 3:23) In the light of the prophecies of Fatima, Russia is already preparing a set of forgeries, trying to reverse the idea of the “errors of Russia” into the “errors of the West”. In 2017, the Katehon website, by Dugin, announced the next “fall of the Roman Catholic Church” and the installation of the Russian Orthodox Church, or the Patriarchate of Moscow as the seat of universal Christianity. The recurrence of allegations against the Catholic Church, under terms like pedophilia, homosexuality, initiated by the great globalist and anti-Christian media, now advances through the hands of prominent conservatives as a way to push out the large mass of Catholics to be co-opted by Russian orthodoxy. Luis Dufaur interprets this as “the great imposture” and a great trick against Catholics. “The propaganda trick distorts the prophecies of Fatima and La Salette, and confuses the Catholic Church with the homosexual-theological network that has infiltrated it since at least the Second Vatican Council. Thus, Moscow aims to deceive the Catholics disgusted with the nauseating ecclesiastical crisis in progress and tries to attract them to the area of influence of the Patriarchate of Moscow. Katehon’s propaganda claims to be ecumenical and pan-Christian. But it requires that Catholics renounce converting the Russian schismatics who tend, as in Ukraine, to abandon the errors and disorders of the Patriarchate of Moscow and adhere to Eastern Catholic rites”. Through an onslaught on conservative movements around the world, which counts on oligarchs’ money and the purchase of intellectuals and influencers, the Kremlin intends, among other things, to retell history, starting with the forgery of the messages of Fatima. One of the main initiatives in this regard has been promoted by renowned traditionalists, linked to initiatic Islamic organizations, such as Charles Upton and his wife, Jennifer Doane Upton, who circulated with great popularity a three-part article entitled “Dante’s Prophecy on the Fall of the Roman Catholic Church”. With the questionable authority of a former Roman Catholic converted to Islamic Sufism, Charles Upton presents his wife’s text clarifying that she preferred the Eastern Fathers’ point of view to that of St. Augustine or St. Thomas Aquinas. He also clarifies that she used especially traditionalist names like René Guénon and Frithjof Schuon. Not surprisingly, the series of articles argues that Moscow is the “Third Rome” and the Russian Orthodox Church should save the Western Church corrupted by Vatican II, by modernism and liberalism, not failing to resort to the prophecies of La Salette and Fatima to explain that “Rome will lose the faith”. They conclude, then, that the Orthodox religion is the true Christian religion and that one should be very careful in approaching the “apostate Rome”. Upton, a Guénonian traditionalist, says he believes that “when the great schism between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church occurred in 1054, the Western Church lost many of those who until then were the universal Christian tradition”. Obviously, from the gnostic point of view of the Primordial Tradition, this seems dramatic for Gnosticism. But after reading Dante with Guénon’s eyes, Upton could only come to this conclusion. He began to gain fame in conservative circles mainly after prefacing Lee Penn’s book False Dawn, which denounces the demonic syncretisms of the New Age movement, but emphasizes only its Western facet, linked to the United Religions Initiative, without mentioning Guénon’s influence in spreading the Orientalist ideas that culminated in the syncretistic spiritualist movement of the West, against which he now presents himself as a providential antidote. Curiously, however, the main arguments used to point out the apostasy of Rome by the Vatican are some novelties that relativize the Eucharistic meaning and the sacraments, such as communion for people in second marriages, among others, which brings closer or, at least, opens discussions on a topic that still divides the Western and Eastern Church. Even the prelate Carlo Maria Viganò, a conservative and a fierce critic of Pope Francis and the innovations brought by the progressive clergy, lectured alongside the Russian ideologue at an event clearly in defense of Putin’s policies, which was understood by many as a veiled support or, at least, an attestation of ignorance about who was by his side. Innocent or not, participation in the event earned the prelate the nickname “Dugin for Catholics”, by a Polish magazine. * Cristian Derosa Journalist, master in Fundaments of Journalism (UFSC), writer, author of The Russia’s Black Sun: the occult roots of eurasianism, and of 5 books on social communication and journalism.

Trump’s “Too Big to Rig” Strategy is in Trouble By Cliff Kincaid With the most recent Fox News poll showing Trump losing to Biden, panic is setting in and Trump is making too many mistakes. Worse, election fraud experts say his “too big to rig” strategy of turning out Republican voters can’t surpass the Democratic Party’s vote-rigging operation. The results are devastating for Trump, as some claiming to be in his corner are already talking prematurely about how a new Trump Administration will save America from the Obama-style Marxists running Biden and the Democratic Party. Whether the Fox poll is reliable or not, the idea that Biden is closing in on Trump, or even overtaking him, sets the stage for another “close” election that suddenly turns in Biden’s favor around midnight on November 5, as more ballots mysteriously are counted. We have seen this before, and yet the Republican National Committee and its co-chair, Lara Trump, seem to have no understanding of what is happening. At this point, with only five months to go and a stacked anti-Trump “debate” being planned, the former president needs a drastic overhaul of his losing campaign for the presidency. He is surrounded by yes men and people wearing MAGA hats who are blind to the reality of what is happening on the ground. Remember the Red Wave of the election of 2022 that failed to materialize? Stephen K. Bannon, Sebastian Gorka and other self-proclaimed MAGA spokesmen had predicted massive Republican gains, including 50 seats or more in the House. Instead, the GOP barely achieved a majority. For the facts about the red faces after the Red Wave propaganda, read my column on the embarrassing fiasco. I had predicted it. The “news” organizations promoting the Red Wave propaganda included the New York Post, Fox News, Fox Business, Mike Lindell’s Frank Speech channel, the Clay & Buck radio show, PJ Media, Townhall, the Daily Caller, and the Real America’s Voice network. The same thing is happening again. Tens of millions of Republicans and conservatives are being deceived about what is really happening. A sophisticated data analysis group called Omega4America documents 500,000 fake voter/address combinations in swing states such as Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. These will overwhelm the perceived enthusiasm for Trump, as reflected in the tens of thousands turning out at his rallies. The group points out, “Remember 2020 - nobody showed up for Biden, throngs for Trump. How did that work out?” Jay Valentine of the Omega4America group has written dozens of stories about the Democratic Party’s vote fraud machine for The American Thinker website. I can vouch for the existence of the problem, stemming from personal on-site observations I made as far back as the 1976 election, when we found voters in the heavily Democratic Party city of Toledo, Ohio, registered at vacant lots and abandoned buildings. It has gotten worse since then and has expanded. The Omega group issues this warning: “What you do not see through the optimistic polling [for Trump] are the grinding, daily registrations, added by the thousands, by hundreds of well-funded NGOs, in every swing state - which we publish in our Fractal videos…Take a look at state after state with thousands of ‘voters’ registered in warehouses, car parks, casinos, hotels, Walmarts, strip malls.” Those optimistic polls for Trump took a drastic turn when the Fox News poll found Biden over Trump by two points. On top of this massive problem, Trump is now heading into the lion’s den of a presidential debate moderated by CNN on June 27. That means it will be a stacked event, the two CNN people and Biden, against Trump. In addition to this major mistake, Trump interfered in a Virginia congressional race, endorsing John McGuire over Bob Good, both conservatives. This kind of interference makes Trump look petty. The outcome of this race is still in doubt and perhaps headed for a recount. There was no reason for Trump to try to throw his weight around in that race. Trump bore a grudge against Good because he endorsed Ron DeSantis in the Republican race for president. In addition to picking sides unnecessarily in that race, Trump endorsed the RINO in the Maryland Senate race, Larry Hogan, who hates Trump. It makes Trump look desperate and even incompetent. Hogan refused to endorse Trump in 2016 0r 2020 and is not supporting him this year, either. Hogan got the Republican nomination by sounding like Trump on border policy but now sounds like Obama on abortion and social policy as he runs against Democrat Angela Alsobrooks for the Senate seat. Meanwhile, MAGA “spokesman” Stephen K. Bannon is whining about going to jail to serve a prison sentence for contempt of Congress, when he could have testified before the Congressional J6 committee and avoided this debacle. A talker for a living, he clammed up when the Democrats on the committee demanded his testimony. He could have testified and given his side of the story about J6 and other matters. Instead, he wanted to be a martyr. Now his supporters are griping that he is headed to a tough prison. The other major mistake is on the part of his so-called MAGA supporters, who are openly advertising what they intend to do if Trump wins. They are playing into the hands of liberal-left media outlets like MSNBC screaming about another Trump Administration outlawing abortion and jailing liberals and leftists. As the old saying goes, they are counting their chickens before they hatch. It is a stupid strategy on the part of the Heritage Foundation. Indeed, another old saying, putting the cart before the horse, applies to the well-endowed Heritage Foundation, now running a Presidential Transition Project that assumes Trump will win. They are ignoring the evidence showing that the same vote fraud machine that was used in 2020 has been activated again. It’s true that one “conservative” media company, Salem, has backed away from one claim in the film “2000 Mules” about one individual engaged in illegal voting using mail-in ballots. But the group behind the research, True the Vote, is standing by its use of cell phone geolocation data and video surveillance of mail-in ballot drop boxes to document the case for voter fraud. Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, was a researcher for the film and argued that mail-in ballots were (and are) part of a well-crafted strategy to subvert election integrity. The COVID crisis that was created by Communist China was the opportunity for the Democrats to subvert the processes that keep elections free and fair. Mail-in ballot schemes were based on unstable, untested, and insecure processes that could be manipulated by devious operatives. Instead of challenging this process, many Republicans are hoping to compete. The RNC is concentrating on a strategy for reaching registered Republican-leaning voters and getting them to go to the polls on Election Day. This sounds good, but the increases in new Republican voters could be easily overwhelmed by the large numbers of fraudulent voters. Clearly, having the RNC hire lawyers after the fact to file lawsuits is not the answer. Having poll watchers on election day will not reverse the fraud that is taking place. The only real solution is to stop mail-in ballots from going to ineligible addresses. The Omega4America group says the RNC and the Trump Campaign do not have the technology to identify these ineligible locations. They say 70 percent of the fraudulent voting is already taking place through early voting and mail-in ballots. Their conclusion is that Trump and the Republicans are already in serious trouble in 2024 and do not seem to realize it. Assuming Trump survives the assassination threats against him and does not land in a jail cell, it seems inevitable that another steal will happen again and more litigation will ensue that will fail to correct the results when the Supreme Court decides, as it did in 2020, that it will not intervene. Setting the American people up for another communist “victory” at the polls, MSNBC and the liberal media are already warning of another January 6-style “assault on democracy” by those protesting vote fraud. Such a confrontation will certainly be another FBI set-up to capture, kill, and/or imprison Trump supporters.
Russia’s KGB and Ours By Cliff Kincaid Biden exchanged a Russian arms dealer in an American prison for an American pothead lesbian basketball player held in Russia for drug dealing. Now, according to published reports, he wants Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, held in Russia on phony espionage charges, to be exchanged for a Kremlin hitman who murdered an anti-Putin activist in Germany in cold blood in a public park. The problem for Biden and his notion of “justice” through such an exchange is that the hitman, Vadim Krasikov, was convicted in Germany and is being imprisoned there, serving a life sentence. He was determined in a court of law to be on the payroll of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his intelligence services. Biden will have to pressure Germany to release the assassin. Once again, Putin’s ability to strike on foreign soil has been demonstrated and he is audacious enough to demand the release of his assassin. Krasikov had a fake identity and was disguised as a tourist in Germany. But German police arrived in time after the murder of Georgian citizen Zelimkhan Khangoshvili in August 2019 to capture and arrest him. In our recent reports about Trump being targeted by foreign enemies, as well as the domestic Deep State, we noted evidence that the former president has been personally threatened by Iranian leaders, in retaliation for the January 2020 death of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – Qods Force (IRGC-QF) commander Qasem Soleimani. No information has been released publicly about an Iranian attempt to kill Trump. But the U.S. Government acknowledges there was an attempt to take out one of Trump’s national security advisers, John Bolton, back in 2021, and the basic facts of the plot were acknowledged by the Biden Justice Department. Shahram Poursafi, aka Mehdi Rezayi, 45, of Tehran, Iran, was charged with trying to arrange the murder of Bolton. The indictment says that Poursafi, working on behalf of the IRGC-QF, attempted to pay individuals in the United States $300,000 to carry out the murder in Washington, D.C. or Maryland. Americans might be surprised to learn that this is standard operating procedure for Iranians on American soil and there seems to be no end to it. Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, declared, “This is not the first time we have uncovered Iranian plots to exact revenge against individuals on U.S. soil and we will work tirelessly to expose and disrupt every one of these efforts.” Executive Assistant Director Larissa L. Knapp of the FBI’s National Security Branch said, “Iran has a history of plotting to assassinate individuals in the U.S. it deems a threat, but the U.S. Government has a longer history of holding accountable those who threaten the safety of our citizens.” This is, of course, debatable, if not false. It is easy to issue indictments but not as easy to bring these terrorists to justice, especially when the Biden Administration has pursued a pro-Iran policy. As a result, Poursafi has not been arrested and remains at large. What is more, it appears more time and effort has been used to arrest and prosecute Trump supporters who entered the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Department of Justice later confirmed that Trump’s former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was also a target of assassination. The plots involved either a “small weapon” or a “larger weapon,” to be used at a distance, and one participant had access to the “specifics” of one target’s schedule “that do not appear to have been publicly available.” According to the official account, the Iranian Poursafi had information about one of the targets that was gathered “from the United States,” not “via Google,” an indication that “someone working on behalf of the IRGC-QF had already conducted pre-operational surveillance…” These are very worrisome details about Iranian activities on American soil. They mean Trump’s life has to be considered in immediate danger. While the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Energy, the Environment and Cyber has held hearings on Russian assassination squads operating outside Russian territory, there has been no effort to examine whether U.S. federal and law enforcement agencies can carry out such missions on American soil. Yet, those who have been around Washington, D.C. for a few decades remember the federal assaults on Ruby Ridge and Waco, in which dozens were murdered by the FBI and ATF, as the result of snipers and tanks that instigated infernos that literally burned people to death. In my column, “Murder Incorporated: Theirs and Ours,” I noted that Russian President Putin had attempted to change the subject from his murder squads to ours, telling NBC News in an interview that somebody murdered unarmed Ashli Babbitt, a U.S. military veteran, who was among the Trump supporters that went into the Capitol on January 6. With this reference, Putin cleverly moved the attention away from his former comrades in the KGB to the Deep State in Washington, D.C. covering-up for its own crimes. Putin was obviously aware that the Biden “Department of Justice” said it would not pursue criminal charges against the Capitol Police officer who killed Ashli Babbitt. Those who objectively analyze the complete set of circumstances surrounding the incident must conclude that the shooting of Ashli Babbitt inside the Capitol qualified as murder. The massive, bank-vault-strong doors into the Capitol were open and pro-Trump protesters (and others) were able to just walk in. There were also reports indicating that police gestured Trump supporters inside the building through the open doors. While Putin specializes in “suspicious deaths,” many of them caused by poisoning, America has its own share of questionable and mysterious high-profile deaths, as documented by former State Department intelligence analyst Kenneth J. Dillon. I would add to the list Frank R. Olson, who, in a secret CIA experiment, was given LSD by government scientists from Fort Detrick in Maryland, where he was based, and “fell” to his death in New York. The federal government paid his family millions of dollars in damages. Fort Detrick is still in business and part of the grounds has been declared hazardous to human health. Its “Area B” occupies approximately 399 acres and was initially established as a proving ground in the Army's Biological Warfare program, later to be used as “a disposal area for chemical, medical, and radiological (CBR) material.” Many who work at Fort Detrick will not drink the water. In many ways, our “Deep State” functions like the American branch of the KGB. Consider the health problems known as “Havana syndrome,” affecting U.S. diplomats, intelligence personnel and military officials overseas. It is named after the brain damage experienced by U.S. diplomats in Cuba. After it was first documented in 2016, eight years ago, and numerous official investigations, the federal government says it has still not figured out what happened. It blames “gaps” in the intelligence gathered on foreign enemies and adversaries. If the Deep State is in fact dominated by the Soviet KGB, now known as the FSB, that would explain a lot. It would also explain why the Russia-gate hoax against Trump was based on Russian disinformation. I have come to accept the view of spy catcher James Jesus Angleton, the former CIA counterintelligence chief, who concluded the CIA was hopelessly infiltrated by our enemies. It turns out so was the FBI, which employed Robert Hanssen as a counter-intelligence agent assigned to catch Soviet/Russian spies, when he was working for the Soviets and the Russians. When you understand how America’s Deep State has become a branch of the KGB, your view of America and the world changes. You come to better understand the no-war wars of Joe Biden and the failure to back American allies and confront our enemies. You come to suspect that characters like Hunter Biden were protected for years by federal agencies like the FBI and the IRS because he (and his father) served the interests of American intelligence agencies. I have been around too long to buy the excuse that federal agencies are just incompetent. The answer is to completely dismantle the federal government except for agencies like the Pentagon that must be maintained in some form, if only to serve as a deterrent to a full-blown nuclear strike, as threatened by Vladimir Putin, now doing a tour of North Korea for more weapons. While Trump remains a target of foreign terrorists as well as the FBI, his supporters have generally been targeted by the FBI and ATF. A recent hearing on the “Weaponization of the Federal Government” featured testimony about the ATF murder of Bryan Malinowski, a prominent local official who sold firearms at gun shows on a part-time basis and had his home raided by ATF agents. He was killed while trading gunfire with federal agents that he thought were criminals staging a home invasion. The Second Amendment Foundation notes, “This is not the first time ATF has been accused of using excessive force. There were scores of lives lost at Waco, and a Deputy U.S. Marshal and Randy Weaver’s wife and son were killed during ATF’s Ruby Ridge siege. The agency’s infamous Operation Fast & Furious resulted in the deaths of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and hundreds of Mexican nationals.” In another case, a Trump supporter named Craig Robertson was shot and killed by FBI agents. He was accused of violating a federal statute against threats “to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States,” referring to Joe Biden. It is Trump, however, who is under constant threat from Democrats claiming he is a “threat to democracy” and Iranian terrorists have already tried to assassinate two of his former top national security aides.
Photo: Mike Allen, Axios. The Hunter Bidens of the Media By Cliff Kincaid The garbage that spews from the major media and their spin-offs is enough to make a healthy person throw up. As a media critic for Accuracy in Media for decades, I wrote thousands of articles and several books on their omissions and bias. I tried to get away from those critiques and do my own investigative reporting. Now, I do both, but still feel drawn to media criticism because the bias over the years has gotten so bad, even worse, than before. I feel a calling to expose the sickness in the major media. Please consider the following prime example: Axios, run by the son of a major conservative journalist by the name of Gary Allen, author of such classics as Say No to the New World Order. Gary Allen wrote some of the best critiques of personalities such as Henry Kissinger. Indeed, his book, Kissinger: The Secret Side of the Secretary of State, described how Henry Kissinger’s “Red China Gambit” included the abandonment of the free people of the Republic of China on Taiwan. He even examined charges from a communist defector that Kissinger was an enemy agent. If we had listened to Gary Allen, America could have been spared its current fate. Over the years, media bias has been transferred to specialized publications like Axios, run by Gary Allen’s son, Mike Allen. Mike rejected his father’s legacy in favor of pandering to the rich and famous on the left, who run Hollywood and social media. He knows where the money is. Hence, he hires a journalist out of the notorious Northwestern School of Brainwashed Journalism by the name of Zachary Basu as his news director, to produce hit pieces on conservatives and Republicans. His latest piece is on how people like President Trump and conservative Supreme Court Justices “exploit post-shame society” by engaging in morally objectionable conduct. It seems that Mike Allen and his underling have no shame themselves. I hesitate to spend much time on such an article, since most people do not read this trash. But their treatment of conservative personalities tells us a lot about their own shameful mindset and failure to engage in any introspection of their own. They think they are taken seriously when the bias is obvious and the parroting of the Democratic Party line is advertised in every word. This article demonstrates how bad the bias will get in the weeks and months ahead. On cue, acting on behalf of Joe Biden, a Hollywood actor by the name of Bradley Whitford has sent an email declaring that “the GOP today is led by a racist birther and twice-impeached con man who is now a convicted felon.” This is all they have, as Biden continues to decline, even helped off stage by Barack Hussein Obama, in a video display seen by millions but denounced by the White House as “fake.” Is it shameful to run such a man for president? I would say so. To begin with, Axios declares that because a Trump is a “convicted felon,” convicted by a kangaroo court in an unfair proceeding, he has no shame. That charge is ridiculous on its face. Allen and his subordinate are repeating Democratic Party talking points that are featured in a new $50 million ad blitz. This is all they got, since their own nominee, Joe Biden, can barely walk and talk. Here’s another charge they make: “Justice Samuel Alito refused to recuse himself from Jan. 6-related cases after acknowledging that his wife flew an upside-down flag — a symbol carried by pro-Trump rioters — outside of their home.” The upside-down flag means that the country is in distress. The flag has been used for decades to signify that something is wrong in the land and that patriots should try to help save their nation. The imbeciles at Axios pretend not to know this. In any event, who cares? Alito and his wife are conservatives who may believe their country is in danger. That view is shared by tens of millions. It has absolutely no bearing on January 6. Rather than being shameful, flying a flag symbolizing concern for one’s country is something to be admired and followed. It sends a message to Axios, which celebrates gay pride with the rainbow flag. But the left-wingers targeting Alito and using Axios for their smear jobs want you to believe the upside-down flag is something else -- a symbol of violence. As a matter of fact, the “pro-Trump rioters” were unarmed. One of them, Ashli Babbitt, was murdered in cold blood by a federal policeman. Axios is a home of sick, disgusting, and shameful people. But they masquerade as “journalists.” We are not fooled. Allen and his underling take shots at other people in the news, such as Elon Musk. They write that, “Like Trump, the eccentric billionaire promotes baseless conspiracy theories to his legions of loyal followers — and relishes criticism from the mainstream media.” So-called “baseless conspiracy theories,” such as Gary Allen’s accurate coverage of Kissinger’s betrayals and his forecast of a “New World Order” that must be resisted? Mike Allen should pay respects to his father. The main thrust of Axios is that conservatives and Republicans are terrible people with no shame over behaving badly. In my opinion, Allen and his team are sick, so sick that it shows and they are in desperate need of mental health counseling. They seem to have a media “bias” that is hateful and even shameful in its full ramifications. And they think that nobody notices! We know that Mike Allen is a wayward son who abandoned his father’s views and his commitment to real investigative journalism. I looked up his “news director,” Zachary Basu, only to discover he graduated from Northwestern University, home of the notorious journalism “educator” Curtis MacDougall, pioneer of socialist journalism for the masses. Read my report on MacDougall if you don’t believe me. MacDougall was a Castro sympathizer who rooted for George McGovern for president, running on such a far-left platform that he was crushed in the election. I was assigned his “textbook” when I studied journalism. If they had any integrity, Mike Allen would resign in disgrace and take his assistant “news editor” with him. They continue with their diatribes because that is where the money is. They are the Hunter Bidens of the media, doing anything for money and clicks from the Democrats.
(Above) Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas swears in Kimberly Cheatle, 27th Director of the U.S. Secret Service at Secret Service Headquarters in Washington, DC. The Armed Enemies Within Plot Trump’s Murder By Cliff Kincaid The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability will soon hold a hearing on “potential vulnerabilities within the U.S. Secret Service” that prevent this agency from protecting high-profile figures such as President Donald J. Trump from assassination. This follows reports of fights breaking out among armed Secret Service agents and “potential insider threats” that threaten national security. The federal law enforcement agency has been plagued by sex and alcohol scandals but more recently its agents have been trying to protect themselves from dog bites by the German Shepherd “Commander,” the Biden family dog. The Secret Service is a component of the Department of Homeland Security, run by Open Borders architect Alejandro Mayorkas. That means that the federal official ultimately in charge of the Secret Service “protection” for Trump is at the same time turning a blind eye to hundreds of foreign terrorists entering the country, perhaps to assassinate Trump. The handwriting is on the wall – Trump’s life is in danger because the federal agency in charge of protecting him has been seriously compromised and perhaps even infiltrated. As we document in our report, Marked for Death, the FBI and Secret Service coordinated the armed raid on the former president’s home. Judicial Watch announced that it had obtained a recording of a phone message left by an FBI special agent for “someone” at the Secret Service in regard to the raid on President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. Tom Rogan of the Washington Examiner was the first to report that an armed U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris‘s protective detail fought with other agents at Andrews Air Force Base. The agent was handcuffed and taken away and given “medical care” of some kind. The American public are still left in the dark about what exactly happened and whether the Secret Service agent had a psychotic episode or was stoned on the job. The situation is so bad that Jennifer Jacobs, White House reporter for Bloomberg News, reported that, “There’s a petition circulating inside the US Secret Service that flags concerns about ‘a number of recent Secret Service incidents indicative of inadequate training,’ a double standard in disciplinary actions, and a vulnerability ‘to potential insider threats’ that could pose a risk” to national security. In our new report on the plots against Trump, we argued that Trump desperately needs a personal protection detail. The new developments suggest another federal agency is mired in corruption and perhaps infiltrated by hotheads and left-wing zealots of various sorts. The briefing on corruption in the Secret Service will take place on June 21 under the jurisdiction of House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., who cites reports that the Secret Service agent “chest-bumped and shoved her superior, then tackled and punched him while still having her gun in her holster, which concerned her colleagues.” Another account by Susan Crabtree said the agent “began mumbling to herself, hid behind curtains, and started throwing items, including menstrual pads…” She quoted Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the U.S. Secret Service, as saying the agency’s embrace of the 30/30 initiative, a feminist campaign to increase the representation of women in police agencies, was not a factor in the debacle. However, various reports indicate the agent is a radical feminist who served with the Dallas Police Department and has a history of charging her male superiors with oppression, even filing a lawsuit over alleged discrimination. The lawsuit was dismissed. Biden’s director of the U.S. Secret Service is Kimberly A. Cheatle and she oversees “candidate protection” and security-related measures at the Republican and Democratic national conventions. But she reports to Mayorkas. Comer has charged that the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Secret Service were involved in efforts to block the Secret Service from sending information to Congress regarding the Justice Department’s attempt to let Hunter Biden off the hook for his criminal activities. Charged with protecting the nation's leaders and financial infrastructure, the agency has been wracked by scandals for over a decade, and keeps insisting the situation has been fixed and cleaned up. In 2021, in response to the release of a book on scandals in the Secret Service, its director of communications said the book “re-hashes past challenges the agency overcame and evolved from.” The scandals included a 2012 incident involving Secret Service employees drinking heavily and hiring prostitutes while preparing for a trip by then-President Barack Obama to Cartagena, Colombia. The agency denied there was a dangerous culture within the Secret Service and the inspector general's office of the Department of Homeland Security said such conduct was not “widespread.” However, it offered 14 ways to minimize such conduct and eliminate wrong-doers. As if protecting the nation’s leaders is not enough of a problem, Secret Service agents have not been able to defend themselves against Joe Biden’s family dog Commander, a vicious German Shepherd. The public interest legal group Judicial Watch had to go to court and sued for Secret Service records on attacks on White House personnel and Secret Service officers. Records have since been obtained, showing Commander was involved in at least 23 “biting incidents” and that one attack even halted East Wing tours due to blood on the floor. But the bigger threats come from left-wing radicals, as we document in our latest report, and foreign terrorists pouring across the border. A former top leader at the U.S. Secret Service and Homeland Security by the name of Charles Marino has written, Terrorists on the Border and in Our Country. According to Newsmax, he claims thousands of men and women linked to terrorist groups like al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, and other terror groups have been easily crossing into the United States. A press release for his book declares that he “identifies what created the problem in the first place - radical, left-wing politicians and woke, progressive, nation-wrecking policies.” On his X account, he declared, “Never have we literally been able to see the national security of the United States be allowed to crumble before our very eyes. This will have significant security repercussions for our country for decades to come. This is a fact.” He provided testimony on “Terrorist Entry Through the Southwest Border” on September 14, 2023. But the threat now appears to be within the Secret Service itself, as the agents drink themselves into drunken stupors and hire prostitutes while on duty in foreign countries. Rep. Comer wonders whether the incident involving the agent fighting with other agents is related to a “hiring and screening process” and a lowering of standards “as part of a diversity, equity and inclusion effort.” Even more ominous, it could be a case of infiltration of those intending to do harm to America’s former president. The FBI was caught weeding out Trump supporters from getting jobs with security clearances and it is reasonable to assume the Secret Service is applying the same lack of “standards” and hiring left-wing zealots in their place. The FBI was infiltrated by a Russian agent for 21 years named Robert Hanssen. What is clear is that Trump needs to hire professional and private security guards to protect him and his family from the FBI and the Secret Service.
Trump is a Marked Man By Cliff Kincaid With right-wing parties making gains in European Union parliamentary elections, it is apparent that a global rejection of the status quo is paving the way for President Trump to win the U.S. presidency in a decisive manner. While some commentators are focused on whether Joe Biden can make it all the way to November’s elections because of his senility and old age, the real question is whether the communists and globalists decide the time is right to take out Trump by any means necessary. Communist groups are promising “Revolution Summer 2024,” a series of protests targeting Biden and Trump but Trump is clearly the main enemy of intelligence agencies here and abroad and is being “Marked for Death,” the title of a new report from my group, America’s Survival, Inc. The Marxist groups active in the Democratic Party believe their street protests can force Biden to step down, but Trump is a different story. That will require a sophisticated intelligence operation so that the fingerprints of the federal agencies that are supposed to protect Trump and the American people can be obscured. As we can easily determine, political assassinations take place on both sides. The CIA engineered plots to assassinate foreign leaders, a subject of Congressional hearings, while Congress also investigated “Murder International, Inc.,” on how “murder and kidnapping” has been an instrument of Soviet and now Russian policy for decades. Trump is considered a “grave threat,” as defined by the Financial Times of London, which also calls him a “convicted contender,” a reference to the legal terrorism unleashed against Trump by the Democratic Party and its allies. Democrats call him a Hitler-like “threat to democracy,” a charge that is designed to motivate would-be assassins. Our report examines the armed FBI raid on Trump’s home, Mar-a-Lago, noting that while the Secret Service is supposed to protect the former president, it cooperated with the FBI in this assault. Trump desperately needs a personal protection detail. We look at the cases of Pascale Ferrier, a radical woman who sent the poison Ricin to Trump; Nicholas John Roske, a pro-abortion extremist who was on a mission to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh; and James T. Hodgkinson, who wounded Rep. Steve Scalise in an attack on congressional Republicans at a baseball game. Who would benefit from the death of Trump? Clearly, one answer is the Chinese Communist Party. After all, the China virus was revenge for Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods, and Trump has promised more tariffs if reelected. Russia, however, also has a vested interest in keeping Trump out of the White House. Biden, after he came to power, attempted to give Russia economic control of Europe through his approval of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to carry Russian gas. Trump had stopped that pipeline and warned NATO to get prepared financially and militarily to challenge Russia. The pipeline was never built and in fact was sabotaged and Vladimir Putin then invaded Ukraine after Biden declared a minor “incursion” acceptable. Russia had not invaded under Trump. Israel also escaped an invasion under Trump but its survival is now at risk under Biden. The war in Ukraine continues with no end in sight, as Russia makes military gains and Biden restricts the ability of Ukraine and Israel to defend their nations. Domestically, in addition to the actions of the FBI, the IRS is also a major problem and began to emerge as a major threat under President Barack Hussein Obama, who used it to harass conservative and Tea Party groups. It has been used under Biden to go after Trump and other big-name critics of the Biden regime. It, too, is a heavily armed federal agency. Our new report examines the case of an IRS contractor who stole and leaked Trump’s tax returns. His actions were one phase of the “lawfare” against the Republican candidate. We know that the former president is already the target of Iranian terrorists, who have promised retaliation for Trump ordering the assassination of Iranian general and top terrorist leader Qassem Suleimani. His terrorist organization was responsible for producing many of our wounded warriors from Middle East conflicts. Iranians also plotted to murder the Saudi Ambassador to the United States on American soil. We examine the suspicious suicides of such figures as Clinton lawyer Vincent Foster, sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, scientist Bruce Ivins in the anthrax letters case, and homeland security whistleblower Philip Haney. We examine how left-wing and Marxist assassins are groomed, including Lee Harvey Oswald, a former Marine turned Castro disciple, and how the Soviet-engineered assassination of JFK was covered-up by the CIA and FBI because of LBJ’s fear of a nuclear war with Soviet Russia. Oswald was carefully trained and guided to the target. By contrast, James Hodgkinson, the architect of the planned 2017 congressional baseball massacre, tried to kill as many Republicans as possible before being shot at the scene. In the case of the pro-abortion would-be assassin, Nicholas John Roske, he got cold feet and turned himself into the local police as he was on the hunt for Justice Kavanaugh. Anti-Trump fanatics and zealots like Roske, Ferrier and Hodgkinson are all around us. However, in the words of ex-communist and former Romanian intelligence officer Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highly trained assassins are “programmed to kill.” Don’t count on the professionals getting cold feet or getting caught, captured, or killed, as in the cases previously described. With backing from foreign intelligence services, such as Moscow’s “Murder International,” which still exists under KGB Colonel Vladimir Putin, the professional hit men can communicate through secret messages and cover their tracks back to China, Russia, or Iran. Tragically, our own domestic intelligence and law enforcement agencies can become an American branch of Murder, Inc. and can do so openly, as we saw in the bloody sieges of Waco and Ruby Ridge. They murdered dozens of Americans, including innocent women and children, in these armed assaults. It’s not stretching the imagination to think they could be programmed to kill the former president, if his enemies decide it is time for Trump to go.
Biden’s Legacy of War and Financial Bankruptcy By Cliff Kincaid As we appreciate the bravery of the men who stormed Normandy 80 years ago to save democracy, we must face the fact that the world was not saved. The communists attempted a complete takeover of Europe. They failed but they did take China and launched an invasion of South Korea. Later, they invaded South Vietnam and won. In the meantime, they took Cuba, positioning nuclear weapons for a first strike attack on the United States. President John F. Kennedy forced the Soviets to back down but his decision to liberate Cuba failed because of a lack of will. He was then assassinated by a Marxist follower of Fidel Castro who had defected to Soviet Russia. Today, if you want to understand the concerns of the American people, talk to them, and do not rely on public opinion polls, which can be easily manipulated. You will find that people, especially young people, are concerned about wars in Europe and the Middle East and America going broke financially as the cost of living rises higher and higher. The publication Politico refers to the “two bloody wars in Ukraine and Gaza” and the hundreds of thousands dead and wounded. Ian Bremmer, the president of the Eurasia Group, tells the publication, “If this election is at all about foreign policy, Biden’s going to lose.” Meanwhile, Biden wanders around a D-Day anniversary, oblivious to how his policies have plunged the world into what increasingly looks like wars without end. But some of Trump’s supporters want to focus on other things, such as using the Department of Justice to go after their political enemies if they win in November. It is a major distraction. The American people understand that the Department of Justice is corrupt. But Republicans do not have the power to eliminate the Department of Justice or the FBI. In fact, the new budget passed by Republicans gives the FBI a new headquarters in Maryland. Taking Joe Biden’s Amtrak train back from New York the other day, I sat next to a 35-year-old biomedical researcher with a Ph.D. who said one of his main concerns right now is the prospect of a World War. His other major concern was high interest rates and rising rents, preventing him from getting a new home. This person did not strike me as political in any way but he was obviously concerned about the state of the world and the rising cost of living in the United States. These are the major issues of our times. I believe if this smart young person analyzes the domestic and world situations, he will draw the obvious conclusion that under Trump things were much better. Those are matters of fact. Ukraine and Israel were not invaded under President Trump. Hitler’s invasion of Europe was encouraged in the same way that Biden dismissed the prospect of a Russian invasion of Ukraine as a “minor” occurrence. Biden also bears some responsibility for the invasion of Israel, since his policies clearly benefited Iran and its military power and influence. The complaints about Trump’s approach are mainly focused on Ukraine. We are now being told that he would not support Ukraine’s fight for freedom from Russia. Biden’s approach is a no-win war that continues the bleeding and dying. Consider, for example, the sensational claim that Biden has given the “green light” for Ukraine to hit Russia with U.S. weapons. This is only half the story. The rest of the story is that the “green light” was given to strike targets in Russia “as long as the targets related to Moscow’s offensive in the Kharkiv region,” where Russia is making gains. That is a quote from the Financial Times. That is the fine print of Biden’s change in policy. The Democrats have a history of getting the United States involved in wars that do not result in ultimate victory. That is clearly on display with Israel under pressure to stop its war on the terrorist group Hamas. Such a move would only guarantee more war in the future, as Hamas is re-supplied by Iran and reconstitutes its military capabilities. The issue of Biden’s forever wars should be public priority number one. These are the facts: In 2014 the Russians invaded Ukraine, a former Soviet republic disarmed by President Bill Clinton’s Budapest Memorandum. America’s first Marxist President Barack Hussein Obama failed to support the anti-Russian resistance with the weapons they needed to retake their occupied territories. Under President Trump, the Russians bided their time. Then, under Biden, they invaded again, hoping to take the entire country of Ukraine. They failed. Ukraine is still struggling to reclaim their occupied territories, because of Biden failing to give them the weapons they need to win. Now he gives them a few weapons to be used under certain circumstances. That means more war. The answer is not to abandon Ukraine. It is to replace the no-win war policy. Biden’s policy is to continue the war and escalate without any chance of Ukraine achieving victory. Under these circumstances, Russia will see an opportunity to take the offensive to an even greater degree. And Biden makes it all possible because his “green” policies raised the price of oil, generating profits for Russia to continue its war of aggression. This is another issue of concern to the American people – higher energy prices. Peace and prosperity are the key issues. Some MAGA “conservatives” are saying Biden may “wag the dog” and get the U.S. in another war, to rally the American people to his side. Another war, perhaps in Korea or with China over Taiwan, will only remind people of Trump’s approach of peace and prosperity. Before that happens, the focus must be on the other war -- the invasion of our southern border and the poisoning of our people from the Red Chinese working hand-in-glove with the Mexican drug cartels. This is a war that can be won as well. Biden can fix the problem by returning to the Trump policies he abandoned. He refuses to do so. So the death and destruction will continue, and we will witness calls for a return of military conscription, since Democrat “woke” policies have devastated the ranks and reduced recruitment. Look at the headlines in Europe:
Equally shocking, the mental acuity of America’s “commander-in-chief” is “slipping,” as the Wall Street Journal puts it. Again, Americans see that. They want a way out of the madness of war and economic ruin.
