I'm a 39 year intelligence analyst, I and my team’s clients include the United States Government, British Government, Israeli Government, Saudi Arabia Government, NEOM, Microsoft, Dell Computers, GE, IBM, General Motors Corporation, The Scott Fetzer Corporation, Managing Dutch East India Company Archives for UNESCO , Procter & Gamble, Raytheon, Mastercard, Walmart, Northrop Grumman, Berkshire Hathaway, General Dynamics, BAE Systems, Standard Oil aka ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco, et al.
Intelligence is NEVER perfect. It's a messy, messy business.
Rarely can I 'guarantee' the intelligence. Many times just releasing it in the wild can stop a false flag or genuine attack. But with as close to 100% confidence as possible, there WILL be multiple terrorist attacks in the U.S.
The attacks will come in waves for the next 14 months. Hundreds of thousands of CCP saboteurs trained to attack our electrical grid, poison our water supply, destroy our railways and main highway arteries, additionally at least a million, possibly two million terrorists are already here from Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Qatar, Lebanon, Iran, Somalia, etc., etc., and they are extremely well funded and get this, the Biden Administration working with the UN has given them debit cards that are reloaded every month.
Below are links to 3 articles on Hezbollah Unit 910, a sleeper cell already in the U.S. awaiting the green light from Persia to launch attacks. This is just one group of hundreds here to destroy America.
Todd Bensman led counterterrorism intelligence for the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division and its multi-agency fusion center, read his reports:

But what could possibly explain the abrupt drive of wealthy elites to deconstruct who and what we are and to manipulate children’s sex characteristics in clinics now spanning the globe while claiming new rights for those being deconstructed? Perhaps it is profit. Perhaps it is the pleasure of seeing one’s own personal obsessions writ large. Perhaps it is the human temptation to play God. No matter what the answer is, it seems clear that SSI will be an enduring part of America’s future.</p></div>jrcrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975873152468729421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987139140585019726.post-54995120732345074172022-06-06T16:33:00.001-07:002022-06-06T16:33:06.209-07:00I think I screwed up...<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw4wijvIVvPdrIIHolaNzd6xI4mKYRXuj11Kjhw22xcrXDo_D3qUD5OiBzRyXyPLEpfMW5ocNQhmcGIsPGnoShqIWOznRQ-YN3X7M62QTUl7gn8i1vPFGo327WfDO3e-NtqUvbatUBUQKHXC4THwEd9PrY-g-8393iKWkme_Qc8MNyQE2rxy4kODc6ng/s4032/PXL_20220606_232600545.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw4wijvIVvPdrIIHolaNzd6xI4mKYRXuj11Kjhw22xcrXDo_D3qUD5OiBzRyXyPLEpfMW5ocNQhmcGIsPGnoShqIWOznRQ-YN3X7M62QTUl7gn8i1vPFGo327WfDO3e-NtqUvbatUBUQKHXC4THwEd9PrY-g-8393iKWkme_Qc8MNyQE2rxy4kODc6ng/w601-h338/PXL_20220606_232600545.MP.jpg" width="601" /></a></div>The replacement pads for this don't exist...?<p></p><p>Argh...</p><p>Oh well.</p><p>jc</p>jrcrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975873152468729421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987139140585019726.post-27922208637617171742022-05-09T09:16:00.001-07:002022-05-09T09:16:45.410-07:00Thoughts on a Monday<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif, NotoColorEmoji, "apple color emoji", "windows emoji", "windows symbol"; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">On protests at SCOTUS's houses: It's wrong. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif, NotoColorEmoji, "apple color emoji", "windows emoji", "windows symbol"; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Protest the policy AT THE COURT. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif, NotoColorEmoji, "apple color emoji", "windows emoji", "windows symbol"; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Protest the person at their house. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif, NotoColorEmoji, "apple color emoji", "windows emoji", "windows symbol"; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is a difference. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif, NotoColorEmoji, "apple color emoji", "windows emoji", "windows symbol"; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Don't even get me started on protesting IN churches.</span></p><div><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif, NotoColorEmoji, apple color emoji, windows emoji, windows symbol;">They are following Alinsky - "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

However, in recent years I have become deeply antagonistic towards such persons, principally because they have targeted children for chemical and physical mutilation. I now consider myself — proudly — to be transphobic. And I have no problems in saying so publicly.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Cabin; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">And you should, too.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Cabin; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">As a rule, when someone gets accused of something that liberals don’t like the automatic reaction is to deny the accusation.

The movement began with a minor celebrity in America announcing that he had transitioned into a female identity and the subsequently <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">coordinated</em> torrent of adulation from the media that followed.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Cabin; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The popular media’s reaction was very effusive in its approval and of long duration.

That certainly hasn't stopped most Western governments from throwing ethics and law out the window in order to rush out a medical treatment before anybody could possibly know the long-term consequences. What about those companies and government administrators who aren't quite ready to admit they've gone full Josef Mengele in the name of "science"? They have an easy solution: those who refuse to "vaccinate" must wear face masks until they do, even though numerous studies have proved that ordinary cloth <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/47-studies-confirm-inefectiveness-of-masks-for-covid-and-32-more-confirm-their-negative-health-effects/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;" target="_blank">masks do next to nothing</a> to prevent the spread of disease and even though numerous studies have proved that the "vaccinated" <a href="https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n2074" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;" target="_blank">still carry a viral load</a> equal to or greater than those who have refused experimental treatment.

It is, however, an effective symbol pushed by governments to publicly ostracize those who refuse to obey. And in those jurisdictions that have already gone back to universal masking regardless of "vaccination" status, those who refuse to play "mask theater" make themselves all the easier for governments to isolate and target.</p><div style="font-size: inherit !important;"><div style="font-family: "Titillium Web", sans-serif;

Others have pointed to the war on drugs, the criminalization of homelessness, and mass incarceration as evidence that little has changed in the U.S. over the last 30 years. </p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">And yet, on each of those issues, the U.S. has made significant progress. Police killings of African Americans in our 58 largest cities <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0063093626?pf_rd_r=F2HSAY31EYE6EV5KQK4D&pf_rd_p=8fe9b1d0-f378-4356-8bb8-cada7525eadd&pd_rd_r=d8fc4e5e-411e-413a-bcc4-c7e9700ef5d4&pd_rd_w=r9nFn&pd_rd_wg=CyRop&ref_=pd_gw_unk" rel="">declined</a> from 217 per year in the 1970s to 157 per year in the 2010s. Between 2011 and 2020, carbon emissions <a href="https://rhg.com/research/preliminary-us-emissions-2020/" rel="">declined</a> 14 percent in the U.S., more than in any other nation, while just 300 people died from natural disasters, a more than 90 percent decline over the past century. Public acceptance of trans people is <a href="https://www.prri.org/research/americas-growing-support-for-transgender-rights/" rel="">higher than ever</a>. The total US prison and jail population <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0063093626?pf_rd_r=F2HSAY31EYE6EV5KQK4D&pf_rd_p=8fe9b1d0-f378-4356-8bb8-cada7525eadd&pd_rd_r=d8fc4e5e-411e-413a-bcc4-c7e9700ef5d4&pd_rd_w=r9nFn&pd_rd_wg=CyRop&ref_=pd_gw_unk" rel="">peaked</a> in 2008 and has declined significantly ever since. Just 4 percent of state prisoners, who are 87 percent of the total prison population, are in for nonviolent drug possession; just 14 percent are in for any nonviolent drug offense. And many large cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle have effectively decriminalized public camping by homeless people. </p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">Progressives respond that these gains obscure broad inequalities, and are under threat. Black Americans are killed at between two to three times the rate of white Americans, according to a <em>Washington Post </em><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/" rel="">analysis</a> of police killings between 2015 and 2020. Carbon emissions are <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/carbon-emissions-2021-pass-pre-pandemic-levels-report-warns-n1264591" rel="">once again rising</a> as the U.S. emerges from the covid pandemic, and scientists believe global warming is contributing to extreme weather events. In 2020, Human Rights Campaign <a href="https://www.hrc.org/resources/fatal-violence-against-the-transgender-and-gender-non-conforming-community-in-2021" rel="">found</a> that at least 44 transgender and non-gender conforming people were killed, which is the most since it started tracking fatalities in 2013, and already that number has reached 45 this year. Drug prohibition remains in effect, homeless people are still being arrested, and the U.S. continues to have one of the highest rates of incarceration in the world.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{"url":"https://michaelshellenberger.substack.com/p/why-wokeism-is-a-religion?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share","text":"Share","class":null}" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; text-align: center; white-space: normal;"><a class="button primary" href="https://michaelshellenberger.substack.com/p/why-wokeism-is-a-religion?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share" rel="" style="background-color: var(--background_pop); border-radius: 4px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-family: var(--font_family_ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"); font-size: 16px; height: auto; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 12px 20px; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: var(--print_on_pop);">Share</span></a></p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">But those numbers, too, obscure important realities. There <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-the-data-say-about-police-11592845959" rel="">are no racial differences</a> in police killings when accounting for whether or not the suspect was armed or a threat (“justified” vs “unjustified” shooting). While carbon emissions will rise in 2021 there is every reason to believe <a href="https://rhg.com/research/preliminary-us-emissions-2020/" rel="">they will continue to decline</a> in the future, so long as natural gas continues to replace coal, and nuclear plants continue operating. While climate change may be contributing to extreme weather events, neither the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change nor another other scientific body predicts it will outpace rising resilience to cause an increase in deaths from natural disasters. Researchers <a href="https://news.berkeley.edu/2021/06/25/why-is-anti-trans-violence-on-the-rise-in-america/" rel="">do not know </a>if trans people are being killed disproportionately in comparison to cis-gender people, if trans homicides are rising, or if trans people are being killed for being trans, rather than for some other reason. Twenty-six states <a href="https://drugpolicy.org/issues/drug-decriminalization" rel="">have decriminalized</a> marijuana, and California and Oregon have decriminalized and legalized, respectively, the possession of all drugs. Progressive District Attorneys in <a href="https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/data-shows-chesa-boudin-prosecutes-fewer-shoplifters-than-predecessor/" rel="">San Francisco</a>, <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2021/06/25/progressive-das-shake-up-tough-on-crime-status-quo/" rel="">Los Angeles</a> and other major cities have scaled back prosecutions against people for breaking many laws related to homelessness including public camping, public drug use, and theft.</p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">And yet many Americans would be surprised to learn any of the above information; some would reject it outright as false. Consider that, despite the decline in police killings of African Americans, the share of the public which said police violence is a serious or extremely serious problem <a href="https://apnews.com/article/us-news-ap-top-news-racial-injustice-politics-police-728b414b8742129329081f7092179d1f" rel="">rose</a> from 32 to 45 percent between 2015 and 2020. Despite the decline in carbon emissions, 47 percent of the public <a href="https://surveys.google.com/reporting/survey?hl=en&survey=fiwik4eqdpprwfcg6l45soh6xu" rel="">agreed</a> with the statement, “Carbon emissions have risen in the United States over the last 10 years,” and just 16 percent disagreed. Meanwhile, 46 percent of Americans <a href="https://surveys.google.com/reporting/survey?hl=en&survey=fiwik4eqdpprwfcg6l45soh6xu" rel="">agree</a> with the statement, “Deaths from natural disasters will increase in the future due to climate change” and just 16 percent disagreed, despite the absence of any scientific scenario supporting such fears. And despite the lack of good evidence, mainstream news media <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-usa-lgbt-crime-trfn-idUSKCN24V3FY" rel="">widely reported</a> that the killing of trans people is on the rise.</p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">The gulf between reality and perception is alarming for reasons that go beyond the importance of having an informed electorate for a healthy liberal democracy. Distrust of the police appears to have <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/22/upshot/murder-rise-2020.html" rel="">contributed</a> to the nearly 30% rise in homicides after the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests last year, both by embolding criminals and causing a pull-back of police. A <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/14/young-people-say-climate-anxiety-is-affecting-their-daily-life.html" rel="">growing body of research </a>finds that news media coverage of climate change is contributing to rising levels of anxiety and depression among children. And there is good reason to fear that misinformation about the killing of trans and non-gender conforming individuals contributes to anxiety and depression among trans and gender dysphoric youth.</p><div class="subscribe-widget " style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;"><form action="https://michaelshellenberger.substack.com/api/v1/free?nojs=true" class="form " method="post" novalidate="" style="margin: 0px auto; max-width: 384px; position: relative;"><div class="sideBySideWrap" style="align-items: flex-start; display: flex; flex-flow: row nowrap;"><input name="email" placeholder="Type your email…" style="appearance: none; border-radius: 5px 0px 0px 5px; border-right-width: 0px; font-family: var(--font_family_ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"); font-size: 16px; height: 52px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px; width: 274px;" type="email" /><button class="button rightButton primary subscribe-btn " style="border-radius: 0px 3px 3px 0px; border: 1px solid var(--background_pop); cursor: pointer; font-family: var(--font_family_ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"); font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; height: 52px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; min-width: 110px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 12px;" tabindex="0" type="submit"><span class="button-text">Subscribe</span></button></div><div id="error-container"></div><div class="subtle-help-text below-input"></div></form></div><h3 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: var(--font_family_headings, var(--font_family_headings_preset, "SF Compact Display", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol")); font-size: 1.375em; font-weight: var(--font_weight_headings_preset, bold); line-height: 1.16em; margin: 1em 0px 0.625em; white-space: normal;">Social Media, NGOs, and the Death of God</h3><div class="captioned-image-container" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: center; white-space: normal;"><figure style="display: inline-block; margin: 0px auto; width: 728px;"><a class="image-link image2 image2-1092-1456" href="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb2d7c922-6ede-4803-8589-5e533f8c71ff_4608x3456.jpeg" rel="" style="border: 0px; display: block; height: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px 0px min(75%, 1092px); text-decoration-line: none; width: 728px;" target="_blank"><img alt="" data-attrs="{"src":"https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b2d7c922-6ede-4803-8589-5e533f8c71ff_4608x3456.jpeg","height":1092,"width":1456,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":13955498,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null}" height="1092" src="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb2d7c922-6ede-4803-8589-5e533f8c71ff_4608x3456.jpeg" style="display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-height: 1092px; max-width: 1456px; width: 728px;" width="1456" /></a></figure></div><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">Why is that? Why does there exist such a massive divide between perception and reality on so many important issues?</p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">Part of the reason appears to stem from the rise of social media and corresponding changes to news media over the last decade. Social media fuels rising and unwarranted certainty, dogmatism, and intolerance of viewpoint diversity and disconfirmatory information. Social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram reward users for sharing information popular with peers, particularly extreme views, and punish users for expressing unpopular, more moderate, and less emotional opinions. This cycle is self-reinforcing. Audiences seek out views that reinforce their own. Experts seek conclusions, and journalists write stories, which affirm the predispositions of their audiences. It may be for these reasons that much of the news media have failed to inform their audiences that there are no racial differences in police killings, that emissions are declining, and that claims of rising trans killings are unscientific.</p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">Another reason may be due to the influence of well-funded advocacy organizations to shape public perceptions, particularly in combination with social media. Organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union, Human Rights Campaign, and Drug Policy Alliance have misled journalists, policymakers, and the public, about police killings, drug policy, and trans killings, often by simply leaving out crucial contextual information. The same has been true for climate activists, including those operating as experts and journalists, who withhold information about declining deaths from natural disasters, the cost of disasters relative to GDP growth, and declining U.S. emissions. </p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">But neither of these explanations fully captures the religious quality of so much of the progressive discourse on issues relating to race, climate, trans, crime, drugs, homelessness, and the related issue of mental illness. A growing number of liberal, heterodoxical, and conservative thinkers alike use the word “woke” to describe the religiosity of so many progressive causes today. In his new book, <em>Woke Racism,</em> Columbia University linguist John McWhorter argues that Wokeism should, literally, be considered a religion.</p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">As evidence for his argument McWhorter points to commonly held myths, like the debunked claim that the American War of Independence was fought to maintain slavery, or that racial disparities in educational performance are due to racist teachers. He points to Woke religious fervor in seeking to censor, fire, and otherwise punish heretics for holding taboo views. And McWhorter suggests that, because Wokeism meets specific psychological and spiritual needs for meaning, belonging, and status, pointing out its supernatural elements is likely to have little impact among the Woke.</p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">But just because an ideology is dogmatic and self-righteous does not necessarily make it a religion, and so it is fair to ask whether Wokeism is anything more than a new belief system. There is no obviously mythological or supernatural element to Woke ideology, and its adherents rarely, if ever, justify their statements with reference to a god, or higher power. But a deeper look at Wokeism does, indeed, reveal a whole series of mythological and supernatural beliefs, including the idea that white people today are responsible for the racist actions of white people in the past; that climate change risks making humans extinct; and that a person can change their sex by simply identifying as the opposite sex.</p><div class="subscribe-widget " style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol";

font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">While reading McWhorter’s new book, I was surprised to discover many similarities between woke racism and apocalyptic environmentalism, which in <em>Apocalypse Never </em>I describe as a religion. Each offers an original sin as the cause of present-day evils (e.g., slavery, the industrial revolution). Each has guilty devils (e.g., white people, “climate deniers,” etc.) sacred victims (e.g., black people, poor islanders, etc.) and what McWhorter calls “The Elect,” or people self-appointed to crusade against evil (e.g., BLM activists, Greta Thunberg, etc.). And each have a set of taboos (e.g., saying “All lives matter,” criticizing renewables, etc.) and purifying rituals (e.g., kneeling/apologizing, buying carbon offsets, etc).</p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">I also saw parallels between woke racism, apocalyptic environmentalism, and victimology, which in <em>San Fransicko</em> I describe as a religion complete with the metaphysical (essentialist) view that people can be categorized as victims or oppressors, by nature of their identity or experience. </p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">I reached out to a new friend, Peter Boghossian, a philosopher who recently resigned his post at Portland State University in response to Wokeist repression, and other experts in different Woke movements, and together we constructed a Woke Religion Taxonomy (below). It includes seven issue areas (Racism, Climate Change, Trans, Crime, Mental Illness, Drugs, and Homelessness) covered by<em> Woke Racism</em>, <em>Apocalypse Never</em>, <em>San Fransicko</em>, Peter’s research, and the writings of other critics of Wokeism. And it cuts across ten religious categories (Original Sin, Guilty Devils, Myths, Sacred Victims, The Elect, Supernatural Beliefs, Taboo Facts, Taboo Speech, Purifying Rituals, Purifying Speech). We were surprised by how straightforward it was to fill in each category, and by the fascinating similarities and differences between them. </p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">We decided to publish the Woke Religion Taxonomy because it was helpful to our own understanding of Wokeism as a religion, and we felt it might help others. The Taxonomy identifies common myths and supernatural beliefs and helps explain why so many people continue to hold them, despite overwhelming evidence that they are false. We are under no illusion that the Taxonomy will reduce the power that Wokeism holds over true believers. But we also believe it will help orient those who are confused by its irrationalism, and are seeking an accessible overview. Finally, we are publishing it because we recognize that we might be wrong, either about matters of fact or classification, and hope it will encourage a healthy discussion and debate. As such, we have published it with the caveat that it is “Version 1.0” with the expectation that we will revise it in the future.</p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">Both Peter and I would like to stress that we have published the Taxonomy in service of the liberal and democratic project of social and environmental progress, which we believe to be under threat from Wokeism. We believe the U.S. is well-positioned to reduce police killings, crime, and carbon emissions; protect the lives and the mental health of trans, non-gender conforming, and cis-gender people; and better treat of the mentally ill and drug addicted. But doing so will require that Wokeism weaken its grip over the American psyche.</p><p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;">As Peter writes, “bigotry and racial discrimination are real and they have no place in society. Yes, there is ongoing racism. Yes, there is ongoing homophobia. Yes, there is ongoing hatred of trans people. These are morally abhorrent and we all need to work together to bring about their end. The woke religion, however, is not the way to stop these moral horrors. It is making our shared problems more difficult to solve.”</p><div class="captioned-image-container" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: center; white-space: normal;"><figure style="display: inline-block; margin: 0px auto; width: 728px;"><a class="image-link image2 image2-1350-1456" href="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F13d916eb-0db4-476b-aa19-6540243afb60_4500x4171.jpeg" rel="" style="border: 0px; display: block; height: 0px; margin: 0px auto; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px min(92.7198%, 1350px); text-decoration-line: none; width: 728px;" target="_blank"><img alt="" data-attrs="{"src":"https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/13d916eb-0db4-476b-aa19-6540243afb60_4500x4171.jpeg","height":1350,"width":1456,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":2059325,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null}" height="1350" src="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F13d916eb-0db4-476b-aa19-6540243afb60_4500x4171.jpeg" style="display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-height: 1350px; max-width: 1456px; width: 728px;" width="1456" /></a></figure></div><div class="subscribe-widget " style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; white-space: normal;"><form action="https://michaelshellenberger.substack.com/api/v1/free?nojs=true" class="form " method="post" novalidate="" style="margin: 0px auto; max-width: 384px; position: relative;"><div class="sideBySideWrap" style="align-items: flex-start; display: flex; flex-flow: row nowrap;"><input name="email" placeholder="Type your email…" style="appearance: none; border-radius: 5px 0px 0px 5px; border-right-width: 0px; font-family: var(--font_family_ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"); font-size: 16px; height: 52px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px; width: 274px;" type="email" /><button class="button rightButton primary subscribe-btn " style="border-radius: 0px 3px 3px 0px; border: 1px solid var(--background_pop); cursor: pointer; font-family: var(--font_family_ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"); font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; height: 52px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; min-width: 110px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 12px;" tabindex="0" type="submit"><span class="button-text">Subscribe</span></button></div><div id="error-container"></div><div class="subtle-help-text below-input"></div></form></div></div></div></div><br /><br /></span></div></div>jrcrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975873152468729421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987139140585019726.post-56541675423372008442021-10-29T11:34:00.000-07:002021-10-29T11:34:27.977-07:00What if the only thing holding Biden in office is...<p>What if the only thing holding Biden in office right now is that he has no opposition on the left...

Not only is Biden struggling to hold his badly split Democrat Congress together to pass his signature porkulus infrastructure and reconciliation bill with progressives reportedly in a rage, but he's also beset by infighting in his own White House, with the two main players trying to get rid of one another. Call it the White House of the long knives. As a <em style="font-size: inherit !important;">lagniappe</em>, we already know that Harris and Jill Biden can't stand each other.</p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">The Daily Mail had a timeline story showing just how badly relations have deteriorated between Harris and Biden as the administration <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10129457/Is-Kamala-distancing-Joe-Number-joint-events-plummets-just-7-October.html" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;">takes on water in the polls</a>:</p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><em style="font-size: inherit !important;">In the Biden-Harris administration's first nine months Harris has participated in 486 public and private events. </em></p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><em style="font-size: inherit !important;">But the number of open press events she has done with the president has already fallen sharply from 18 in the short month of February to just one each in September and October - marking September 11 and the anniversary of <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/martin_luther_king/index.html" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;">Martin Luther King</a>'s memorial dedication. </em></p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><em style="font-size: inherit !important;">A former Harris adviser told the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/projects/kamala-harris-events-appearances-vp-schedule-news/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;" target="_blank">Los Angeles Times</a> said despite their public show of unity that Biden and Harris still remain divided by a lack of trust.</em></p><div data-endpoint="//trends.revcontent.com" data-rc-widget="" data-widget-host="habitat" data-widget-id="254760" id="rc-widget-ed8d6a" style="font-size: inherit !important;"></div><img border="0" class="im_t" height="0" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ssl-intgr-net/tags/7_74_19.gif" style="border: 0px; font-size: inherit !important; max-width: 100%;" width="0" /><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><em style="font-size: inherit !important;">They said the vice president is disgruntled that 'she hasn't been given any all-star portfolio' to work with. The White House disputed the characterization.</em></p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Actually, they did — the high-profile border crisis, brought on by Joe's foolish decision-making, which rang a dinner triangle for human-smugglers to entice nearly two million illegals to enter the U.S. without authorization on junk asylum claims was an all-star portfolio that Harris wasn't up to. Now Biden's supposed to give her more messes to make, as if he didn't already make enough messes on his own? Sounds like a fifth wheel. Another huge organized caravan is on its way from Mexico to the states, and Harris, naturally, is AWOL.</p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Not only is Harris not doing her job, but she's also not even been appearing with Joe at his major speeches anymore. She's refused to appear at several critical ones — see the tweets on this item <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/08/kamala_harris_tries_to_flee_joe_bidens_sinking_ship.html" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;">here</a>. What's more, Joe's copious praise of her hasn't been heard for months. No more talk about a "co-presidency." No more talk about Kamala being the last person in the room — seems she's not in the room at all.</p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">The only thing we see now of Harris is her Instagrams, her first lady–style appearances at daycare centers, her tweets for Joe's agenda items. What she wants and likes are the "fun jobs," as Posobiec puts it. She's not interested in being vice president and actually governing. She's interested in being Meghan Markle. (Meghan, of course, is interested in being Kamala and going into politics, which brings the symmetry full circle.)</p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Now she seems to have been kicked out of the major decision-making on the border issue and probably everything else.</p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Last September, she announced a high-level meeting of U.S. and Mexican officials, which, presumably, she'd either lead or be a part of. Somehow, she didn't go, even though the issues she'd put forward as border czar — such as root causes of illegal immigration — were on the table. It might have been a matter of her own laziness in not wanting to do her job, which we've seen repeatedly from her. But it also may have been that the Bidenites didn't want her going there and getting underfoot with her Instagramming as they sought to conduct serious business, or worse, that the Mexicans had had enough and didn't want her around. There's been a lot of speculation that Harris is simply going AWOL, but the idea that the Bidenites are passively allowing it to happen might not be what's happening now — they may well want this giggling incompetent gone. I wrote about that <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/10/has_the_white_house_dumped_kamala.html" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: inherit !important;">here</a>.</p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Suffice it to say no more portfolio projects from Joe are likely coming.</p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">And now we see the great distancing. Harris going her way, Joe going his, while the Democrats themselves split into far left and merely left factional infighting in Congress on a matter that Joe considers critical to his presidency.</p><p style="font-size: inherit !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">What a picture. The only thing one can conclude from the bang-up job this "unity" president is doing is that they are all running scared, each taking a path that they expect will offer the best escape. They know a red tidal wave is coming, and now it's every man for himself.</p></div>jrcrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975873152468729421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987139140585019726.post-84963308838341315922021-09-27T07:02:00.004-07:002021-09-27T07:02:57.801-07:00Another person coming around to my POV...<p>https://www.creators.com/read/wayne-allyn-root/09/21/police-fire-military-being-gutted-by-vaccine-mandate-is-this-chinas-plan-to-destroy-the-usa </p><div class="row" id="article-show-header" style="background-color: white;

color: black; float: left; margin-top: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; position: relative; width: 951.5px;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">I have bad news and good news.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">I'll save the good news for the end — because you need to know there is hope.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">The bad news is that the country is on fire, thanks to the brain-dead, feeble, old man with dementia (aka President Joe Biden). If you don't believe me, just see the 14,000 Haitian migrants hiding under a bridge in Texas, now released into America by Biden. That should help the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">But the worst is yet to come. I'm referring to Biden's vaccine mandate. This is the most dangerous threat to our national security in history.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">As a nationally syndicated radio host, I get thousands of emails a week. The ones I'm getting right now are downright tragic. I'm getting heartfelt letters of anguish from police officers, firefighters, paramedics, nurses, corrections officers, active-duty military, military fighter jet pilots, even Navy SEALs.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">They're all getting ready to quit or be fired because of vaccine mandates. They do not want the vaccine. Even if they have to give up their pensions. Even if they are one year away from retirement and a six-figure pension.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">They've studied the vaccine. They know the dangers. They know it's crippling, killing and weakening the immune systems of millions of Americans. They've seen the Project Veritas undercover videos of U.S. government health care workers admitting the COVID-19 vaccine is killing and injuring Americans — and admitting our government is covering it up.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">As first responders, many have seen the carnage up close and personal. They see the vaccine-injured every day in the emergency room or intensive care unit.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">The mainstream media is blacking out this story like it's on Hunter Biden's laptop. But the number of first responders who quit, retire or get fired will be shocking. The damage to our country will be devastating.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">Think about it. These are the frontline defenders of America. What if one-third of cops resign? One-third of the firemen? One-third of the nurses? One-third of prison guards? Good luck.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">You think I'm exaggerating? I've only seen one poll made public on this topic. In San Diego, 65% of the cops say they'll quit rather than take the vaccine.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">It turns out my educated guess is low.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">What happens when one-third of the military quits? How about one-third of fighter jet pilots? How about one-third of Navy SEALs? Who is going to defend America? This is the greatest national security threat in history.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">Our national defense will be a shambles. China can just sit back and watch us self-destruct. Did you ever think maybe that's the plan? Just this week, a whistleblower reported China intentionally released COVID-19 at the Wuhan Military Games in October of 2019.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">So, maybe, just maybe this whole vaccine mandate disaster is "made in China." Dividing America, weakening our economy, gutting our military and creating a shortage of frontline first responders is a dream come true for China.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">This is how China wins WWIII without firing a shot.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">So, what's the good news? I have a solution. You can read about it in my brand-new No. 1 bestselling book, "The Great Patriot Protest & Boycott Book." It's the conservative version of "Rules for Radicals." It teaches conservatives how to use protest, boycotts, intimidation and civil disobedience — just like liberals have done to us for decades. Two can play at that game. It teaches conservatives how to become the LOUD MAJORITY.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">This book even includes the actual phone numbers and emails to contact the top liberal and woke CEOs in America.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">And I have proof it works. A book buyer contacted me yesterday. He was giddy. He emailed three CEOs of the biggest companies in America — with the contact information provided in my book. Within hours all three CEOs personally responded. He sent me their emails. All three big shots were clearly scared to death by threats of a boycott by this conservative. That was from only one person contacting them.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">Can you imagine what we can achieve when 100,000 or 1 million conservatives contact corporations and politicians to threaten a boycott? This is the game changer.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">This battle isn't over yet. Not by a long shot. I believe we can keep the wolves at bay with the strategy found in my book. And then in 2024 ...</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">The latest Rasmussen poll shows former President Donald J. Trump beating Biden by a 10-point landslide and beating Kamala Harris by 13 points.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">As Winston Churchill said, "Never give in, never give in, never, never, never."</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">Never give up. Keep the faith. The cavalry is coming!</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 20px;">Wayne Allyn Root is known as "the Conservative Warrior."

Some SEALS were given a deadline this week for the vaccine and have sought a religious exemption.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">"My clients include several Navy SEALs who are a small part of a large group of SEALs and other military members who are being asked to choose between their faith and their ability to serve our nation," said R. Davis Younts, a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force reserves and a JAG lawyer who is representing several of the special operators as a private lawyer. "They have been told that if they seek a religious accommodation, they likely will no longer be able to serve our country as Navy SEALs and been given an arbitrary deadline to comply with the vaccine mandate.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">"My clients need time, and we are seeking at least a 90-day extension to vaccine mandate compliance deadline they have been given." </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">Younts said the Pentagon has put its threat in writing that unvaccinated SEALs, including those who get a religious exemption or already have natural immunity, will be forbidden from deploying with their teams, all but ending their special operator careers. Some were given a deadline of this week, he said.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">Pastor Jeff Durbin, a prominent anti-abortion activist and evangelical pastor from Arizona who has been ministering to the special operators for several weeks as they navigated the decision, said between a quarter to a third of all active-duty SEALS are involved in the dispute with the Pentagon, including some who already have COVID-19 immunity because they recovered from the disease.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">"There are hundreds of Navy SEALs who have not been vaccinated, do not want to take the vaccine, or who have had and recovered from COVID and have the benefit of natural immunity," Durbin told Just the News. "A large number of SEALS that I am speaking on behalf of are facing the very difficult decision that even with a legitimate religious exemption that is based upon their commitments to Christ, the Gospel, God's Law, and the Constitution, they will no longer be Navy SEALs.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">"They are essentially being asked to make a decision between their commitments to the lordship of Christ and their careers as Navy SEALs. Our country should be very concerned about what this would do to military readiness. Losing hundreds of Navy SEALs because of their legitimate and sincerely held Christian beliefs could be devastating to us as a nation."</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">The Pentagon referred comment to the Navy, which did not immediately respond with a comment. A Navy source would only confirm that Nov. 28 is the deadline for all Navy personnel to get shots.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">Tim Parlatore, a lawyer who helped win the acquittal of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher in the alleged death of an ISIS prisoner, said he has confirmed large numbers of SEALS are declining to get the vaccine right now.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">"It's in the hundreds. And it's not the senior leadership. It's all the shooters and it is going to have a huge impact," Parlatore said. "If they continue to with this asinine police you are going to have the complete decimation if the SEAL teams," he said.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">Parlatore said the SEALS are not anti-vaccine; in fact they get all sorts of shots. He said they just believe more safety data needs to be be available to make their own judgment. And some already have immunity from surviving the disease, he noted.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">Federal health regulators say the vaccine is safe for most Americans, while acknowledging some rare but serious adverse events, such as sudden cardiac disease for younger adults.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">It reportedly takes up to $500,000 and a year or more to fully train Navy SEALs, among the most elite and celebrated of the military's special forces. SEALs shouldered a disproportionately heavy load during the war on terror the last two decades, with teams often deploying multiple times to war zones, including black-operations Team Six, which killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">Younts' and Durbin's accounts were confirmed to Just the News by other lawyers representing special operators as well as several members of the SEAL community, who confirmed large numbers of special operators could be sidelined in the next few days. Most would only talk on background for fear of losing their jobs, but warned of a potential security calamity.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">Eric Greitens, a retired Navy SEAL and the former Missouri governor now running for U.S. Senate, said the Pentagon's current position wrongly impacts the nation's defenses and the personal careers of men who have given so much to their nation.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">"This is wrong for national security," Greitens said. "The only people who will benefit from destroying the combat capacity of Naval Special Operations are the Taliban, Russia, China and other adversaries around the world. This is also wrong at human level. These warriors have dedicated their lives to the nation, spent their youth and some of them their health defending this nation and now find themselves in trouble for no valid scientific, medical or military rationale. It is clear their out-of-control command is more concerned with political correctness than lethality, and thus is willing to squander national security and personal careers."</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">Younts, a Pennsylvania-based lawyer, has been involved in defending service members for nearly two decades, and won an award as the top Air Force defense lawyer in the JAG corps. His work and writings have been showcased in the JAG corps official magazine.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">Durbin runs the large evangelical Apologia Church in the Phoenix area and is best known for his ardent opposition to abortion. In 2017, he stirred criticism when he suggested abortion be treated the same as murder, which under some state laws is punishable by the death penalty. His position on abortion as a crime, however, got recent support when Pope Francis declared earlier this month that "abortion is murder."</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">Durbin told Just the News he began ministering to Navy SEALs and other military members in recent weeks as they wrestled with the decision of whether to get the COVID-19 vaccine as mandated by the Pentagon. He said those he has counseled have a religious objection, are unable to speak publicly because of their allegiance to military discipline and know that even if they get a religious exemption they will be ending their SEAL careers if they refuse the shot under the current military position.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">"These Navy SEALs are men of faith in Jesus Christ," he said. "They feel as though they are being pushed to a decision between their faith in Christ, their commitments to God's Law, and their desire to love their neighbors and uphold the principle of the preservation of human life versus their careers as Navy SEALs."</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #6c757d; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px;">He said the SEALs he is ministering to "are the epitome of silent professionals and they do not desire to nor can they speak for themselves."</span></p></div></div></div></div></div>jrcrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975873152468729421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987139140585019726.post-42820284481124522312021-09-10T14:04:00.002-07:002021-09-10T14:04:47.782-07:00I agree...<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
