LAWRENCE SELLIN: Slowly Boiled Frogs – Have Americans Lost their Capacity For Rage?

​Although a minority are content living in a Stalinist dystopia, most aware Americans seem to have lost their sense of outrage as they have quietly accepted the gradual dismantling of our constitutional republic, the impoverishment of our Middle Class and the degradation of our history and culture by a corrupt and perverted political aristocracy, who have now abandoned even the illusion of democracy to implement a globalist one-party authoritarian state.

A virus created in a Chinese laboratory caused a three-year pandemic under which unnecessary, destructive and draconian policies were implemented that eroded civil liberties, damaged public health, undermined trust in science, sabotaged election integrity and destroyed the economy.​

​Yet, not only has no one been held accountable, many of those complicit in the demolition of the country have been rewarded.

We learned this past week that Pfizer, the pharmaceutical company responsible for an arguably unsafe and ineffective COVID-19 vaccine, in order to sustain profits, has been engaging in viral “gain of function” research, the very activity that caused the pandemic, thus potentially exposing the world to even more dangerous pathogens.

Yet, there is no outrage.

The current situation in the country was predictable, if not inevitable.

On October 26, 2016, prior to Donald Trump’s unexpected victory in the presidential election, I wrote an article in The Hill entitled “There is no place for me in Hillary’s America.”

What I described in that 2016 article, some of which is quoted below, was simply delayed by Trump’s Presidency.

I consider myself a patriot, someone who believes in the Constitution, the rule of law and representative government.

Under a President Hillary Clinton, none of those will any longer exist.

Electing Hillary will mean, quite literally, the end of the United States as it was originally designed.

The Constitution will be de facto obsolete; the rule of law will be arbitrarily applied dependent upon one’s financial status or political clout; and we will have a government driven by crony capitalism and political expediency, benefitting only the rich and powerful, and one conspicuous for corruption, fraudulent elections and pseudo-representation.

Under Hillary’s open borders policy, the United States of America will be neither United nor America. It will not be a melting pot, a nation guided by the notion of E Pluribus Unum, but a collection of simultaneous arguments, where the only thing we have in common is our differences.

It will mean a president, who is, without any doubt, hopelessly corrupt and a pathological liar.

It will mean that the organs of government will not be used to enforce the law, but to enforce the political whims of Hillary Clinton, courtesy of the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service.

Because, when blatant and outrageous lies are no longer sufficient to soothe the electorate into complacency, such a government must begin to curtail freedom and oppress the people in order to pursue its policies and remain in power.

For me, one who traveled in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe during the Cold War, Hillary’s approach to government has a familiar ring.

​n “Mountain of Crumbs”, a memoir of childhood in the 1960s and 1970s propaganda-soaked Soviet Union, Elena Gorokhova explains the meaning of “vranyo”, the Russian word for “a white lie or half-truth:”

“In Russia we played the ‘vranyo’ game on a daily basis. The government lied to us, we knew they were lying, they knew we knew they were lying, but they kept lying anyway and we pretended to believe them.”

“In practice vranyo provided a coping mechanism for both unbearable tragedies and petty annoyances. Can’t feed your starving children? Tear up a piece of bread to make a mountain of crumbs and declare it an abundance of food.”​​

​There is no outrage because, like the Soviet Union, Americans have been conditioned to accept unaccountability, in which lying and incompetence are expected behavior of the leadership class.​

​Without justifiable rage, we are all simply slouching towards tyranny.

“WERE REVOLUTION IS THE SOLUTION“

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/south-carolina-dem-james-clyburn-funneled-six-figures-campaign-funds-family-last-cycle-filings-show

Joe Biden is by far the worst president in history, an invalid for sure. In his two years in office he has caused four major fiascos. Number One, the Afghan pull out, Number Two, the Border Crises, Number Three, failure to stop Russia from invading Ukraine, Number Four, the Balloon Affair.

With him remaining in office for two more years we can expect more fiascos, any one of which can lead to nuclear war. For these very reasons Biden-Harris need to be impeached immediately. The United States can’t take chances with these nincompoops keeping America safe.

Biden is a liar when he told Austin to shoot the balloon down last Wednesday. NFN way. And then Austin said he didn’t do it because of the threat of balloon fallout injuring Americans on the ground. Who believes this fabricated story? Austin participated in the cover-up to save his ass. Biden kept it secret that the China Balloon crossed into our airspace a week ago. That was the opportune time to eliminate it.

We have no idea what information was gathered during its flight, but if shot down over land when it crossed into our territory, our technicians could have examined it, now they can’t. 

IMPEACHMENT NOW, IMPEACHMENT NOW, IMPEACHMENT NOW

CHINA SPY BALLOON SHOWS COUNTRY IS PREPARING CITIZENS FOR WAR THAT COULD COME AT ‘ANY TIME’: EXPERT

Once again Biden was taunted like an invalid he is by our adversary, China. Right now Xi is sipping tea, toasting his comrades for a job well done. Next stop is Taiwan. You can bet your bottom yuan on this.

This was no joy ride by China, they gathered top secret information, not available by satellite.

Pentagon reveals details on how US missile took down Chinese spy balloon over Atlantic Ocean

Biden has faced intense scrutiny from Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, for waiting days to shoot down the balloon as it hovered across sensitive military locations across the United States.

Chinese spy balloon may gather ‘unseen’ info as Beijing possibly ‘preparing the battlefield’: experts

Low-tech surveillance could help China find alternatives to combat US ‘tech-reliance’

Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., told Fox News that the Chinese surveillance balloon fell right off the coast of his district near his hometown and that he’s “incredibly concerned” about why it took days to handle.

The Chinese surveillance balloon that appeared over Montana can provide some insight into China’s operations and technology as the Pentagon continues to monitor its progress and holds off on shooting it down, experts tell Fox News Digital. 

“There’s a certain . . .  let’s say political and information value in letting the Chinese know that we’ve seen this or watching it, and which also I think will make them think that we’re also trying to potentially exploit the situation and understand better their surveillance techniques and capabilities,” Matt McInnis, Senior Fellow for the Institute for the Study of War’s China program, told Fox News Digital. 

The Pentagon announced Thursday that the U.S. government had detected a high-altitude surveillance balloon, first spotted by the public over Montana, where it hovered above Malmstrom Air Force Base. The U.S. uses the base to store nuclear weapons.

REP. RUSSELL FRY: We haven’t been told much, honestly. It fell right above my hometown. We’re kind of in the dark a little bit. I think the American people are in the dark. Why was it allowed to go clear across the country for so many days? You look at this — national security is one of the biggest things that the country can do. It is a core function of government, so I think for us in Congress and I think for the American people, there are a lot more questions than answers at this point. 

Harry Truman would have shot that Balloon down in a matter of seconds. Harry had the chutzpa, but Joe Biden has proved once again that he is a Capon. China is on a quest waiting for Joe’s reaction, this incident is a prelude to them making a move on Taiwan.

Asked if the U.S. government will shoot down the surveillance aircraft, Biden said, “we’re gonna take care of it.”

Yeah, like you took care of the China Virus.

Nobody believes you Branden. You can’t keep America safe anymore. Impeachment now.

 The updated location of the suspected surveillance device comes after Defense Department spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said Friday that the balloon, which China claims is a civilian reconnaissance airship that inadvertently drifted off course, had “changed its course” and moved to the central part of the country.

.

Does Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk have the fire power to take out the Balloon? Come on guys, do America a favor. Do what Joe doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to do.

What we see now is a China continuing on their mission to threaten the western hemisphere. We know that they have many of our politicians in their pocket, for example, Eric Swalwell.

South China Sea: The battle for Scarborough ShoalClose

By now most of the initiated Americans have witnessed the pervasive attacks on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. And what was the cause of such hateful demeanor? Well, Speaker McCarthy, rightly so, gave the boot to the Suicide Bomber Omar.

We don’t have go into her bio here, click for the bio, but you will find, just as we have,  a Jew-Israeli hate monger. Her filthy diatribe never wastes a second to imply that Jews are money hungry, only caring about the Benjamins, Israel has stolen Pseudo Palestinian land, Israelis constantly kill innocent terrorists, Jewish Americans have bought politicians and have dual allegiance.

So, Omar goes Rage when indicating the foreign experience she brings to the table. We don’t have to detail her experience, but will tell you that she is anti America, she and the rest of her Suicide Squad hate White People, call those who criticize the Squad as Racist and White People are misogamist. The RACE CARD is always pulled, as we quoted her on several occasions.

But Omar continues to spew diarrhea from the mouth. Her latest B.S. rolls out the threats she has received on her life (see below). What a joke! Imagine she actually saved this audio. What a tramp.

Omar shares death threat on Twitter before House vote, blames GOP for ‘continued targeting of women of color

“You f—— c—-, I’ll put a bullet in your f——- head, and get the f— out of my country,” the recording began, then continued into more profanity and insults, ending with, “I’ll f—— kill you!”

We say, if you don’t like it, GO BACK TO Somalia for We the People don’t need a lying tramp telling us about Democracy.

HOWEVER, THE VIDEO OF AOC GOING CRAZY IS ONE OF THE MOST HILLARIOUS WE HAVE EVER SEEN. GO AOC.

Majority of people living in the United States are very cordial, always willing to help their neighbor when in need; volunteering their lives for those who seek assistance, donating food to foodbanks, clothing to Goodwill, money to fund cancer research. They are the forgotten ones, always working behind the scenes. They are America’s heroes. However, there is always one punk, street thug, gang banger or wise guy who ruins it for all of us.

Not discounting the latest tragedy, because there have been hundreds of late, that it is unfathomable that in today’s day and age, society is breaking down into a state of anarchy, frontier justice if you will.  This must stop now, before it is too late.

We are at a flash point, thanks to politicians who ostensibly pull the race card whenever they can. These calls are nothing but a vail attempt to incite those who are on the verge of violent behavior; Politicians, and we know who they are, with the help of fake news media, double down on the call to riot.  Gasoline poured on a smoking tinder is their tour de force, Those who do this find injustice behind every tree, a racist where there is none, a law restricting their mobility.

The aftermath of 9/11 saw America come together. We knew that we were at war and standing up, protecting each other was the only avenue to pursue. However, starting in 2008, the climate became more ionized. Venomous vapor was in the air. Obama was elected. Things began to change for the worse.

The Illegal Somali Alien of the House of Representatives pulls the RACE CARD after Kevin McCarthy banishes her from the House Foreign Affairs committee. She claims that by doing this, “America is less safe.” Imagine that?

So a Muslim Suicide Bomber blows up in front of the camera to accuse House Majority Leader of not only racism, but misogyny to boot. We have heard these accusations before, when she referred to Congress supporting Israel, she said,  “It’s all about the Benjamins baby.” Too bad McCarthy couldn’t launch her out of the earth on one of Musk’s rockets.

We don’t need people like that denigrating America, especially one who looks up to Jeremiah Wright, Remember his quote, “not bless America, but God Damn America.”

Nation of Islam founder and notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan defended Representative Ilhan Omar’s glib description of the September 11 attacks Monday by dismissing the attacks as nothing more than a false-flag operation designed to draw the U.S. into Middle Eastern conflicts.

And remember her speech at the Council on American-Islamic Relations concerning 9/11 attack on America, “some people did something.” 

She deserves to by thrown off the committee, but real justice would be to throw her out of the country 

OMAR’S HISTORY PREVIOUSLY POSTED BELOW

THE ILHAN OMAR CON

Ilhan Omar (from Wikipedia)

Omar was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, in October 1982. According to the biography posted on her own website, she lived there for around eight years before her family fled to a refugee camp in Kenya, moving to the United States four years later, and eventually settling in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis in 1997.

In a 2018 interview with the Intercept website’s “Deconstructed” podcast, Omar said she became a naturalized U.S. citizen before she turned 18 years old, explaining that “My father became a citizen and so I got my citizenship through that process.”

In the same interview, she said her family resettled in the U.S. in 1995. Since a would-be naturalized citizen must first live in the U.S. as a permanent resident for five years, 2000 would be the earliest year in which Omar’s father (and Omar herself) could become citizens. Since Omar was born in October 1982, she turned 18 in October 2000. So, based on the sequence of events presented by Omar, it appears she became a U.S. citizen at the age of 17, sometime between January and October 2000 —

Although Omar’s account makes sense, and we found no substantive dispute over it, we were unable to locate any official documentation that supports that version of events. We asked Omar’s spokesperson and district director to provide any official documentation that would confirm the date of her naturalization, but we received no such evidence.

The Congresswoman’s spokesperson reiterated that she became a U.S. citizen in 2000 and pointed out that an individual cannot be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives without demonstrating citizenship, but the spokesperson did not have Omar’s “personal government documents.”

Until and unless evidence of that nature becomes available to us, definitively establishing that Omar became a U.S. citizen in 2000 she has pull off one of the greatest cons in history.

In the AP story, Omar’s replies to all this are those of the victim combined with overtones of the royal “we”:

“We choose not to further the narratives of those who would oppose us” Omar’s statement said, adding that she believes the claims are being made by people who want to stop a black, female Muslim from sitting in Congress.

The chronology of all this, briefly, follows:

• 1982 — Born in Somalia;
• 1991 — Went to refugee camp in Kenya;
• 1995 — Came to United States as a refugee, becoming a citizen at some later point;
• 2002 — Took out a marriage license to marry Ahmed Hirsi (AKA Ahmed Aden), but did not marry him except in a Muslim ceremony; they had two kids;
• 2008 — Parted from Hirsi; a Muslim divorce, not recorded, took place;
• 2009 — Married Ahmed Elmi; a marriage certificate exists;
• 2011 — Parted from Elmi, with a Muslim divorce;
• 2012 — Reunited with Hirsi and had a third child;
• 2017 — Formally divorced Elmi (after being elected to the legislature);
• 2018 — Married (re-married?) Hirsi and was nominated for Congress.

At the very least, a busy lady — one with a fondness for guys named Ahmed.

It is outrageous that her father got a job at the post office when so many of our citizens are unemployed. How did that happen? Secondly, she became a professional nutrition educator at the University of Minnesota. No doctorate here. Omar also wrote, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.

In November 2021, Republican Representative Lauren Boebert said she had shared an elevator with Omar, and that she and a Capitol Police officer both mistook Omar for a terrorist. Boebert referred to Omar as the “Jihad Squad”.  Omar said that she had not shared an elevator with Boebert, that the story was made up, and that Boebert’s comments were “anti-Muslim bigotry”.

Who is Ilhan Omar’s husband?

Omar has been married to Tim Mynett since March 2020.

Mynett, is known as a political consultant whose consulting firm, the E Street Group, received more than $523,000 from Omar’s campaign during the 2020 election cycle.

Omar’s campaign was the E Street Group’s biggest moneymaker.

The connection between Omar’s campaign and Mynett’s consulting firm was brought to national attention by her critics and opponents.

In response to the critics, Omar’s campaign terminated its contract with Mynett’s firm on November 17, 2020, saying the termination was to “make sure that anybody who is supporting our campaign with their time or financial support feels there is no perceived issue with that support.”

The two have also faced rumors that the relationship began as an affair.

Beth Mynett, Tim’s ex-wife, accused the two of having a relationship when she filed for divorce in August 2019.

What happened at Ilhan Omar’s congressional office?

On October 26, 2021, it was reported that there was a suspicious substance found outside her office on Capitol Hill.

While it still remains unclear what the substance was, staff members were told to avoid the area until further notice.

Other offices were seen on the seventh floor of the Longworth House Office Building and were told to shelter in place.

Following an investigation, Capitol Police confirmed that anything hazardous came back negative and the building then reopened.

Has Ilhan Omar been married before?

Throughout her life, the U.S. Representative has been married a total of three times.

Prior to her relationship with Mynett, she was married to Ahmed Hirsi.

The former couple first entered a faith-based marriage in 2002 but then separated in 2008.

After that, Omar then married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British Somali, until they got a faith-based divorce in 2011, when she got back with Hirsi.

Despite a 2011 split, Elmi and Omar did not get a legal divorce until 2017.

In 2018, Omar and Hirsi then got legally married but filed for divorce soon after in 2019, citing an “irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage.

Throughout the course of their on and off again relationship, the couple welcomed three children together, Isra, 18, Adnan and Ilwad.

Did Ilhan Omar marry her brother?

Over the years, Omar has faced criticisms of her marriage and claims that she married her brother for years.

Former President Donald Trump fanned the flames of those allegations in July 2019 saying “There’s a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it.”

When Omar was seeking a state House seat in 2016, the conservative sites flagged a screenshot of a since deleted Instagram post that was allegedly uploaded by Elmi on June 12, 2012.

The caption of the photograph posted shortly after Omar gave birth to her third child identified Elmi as holding the baby girl, calling her his niece.

 

Everyday we wake up to the sound of GUNFIRE. The world is in turmoil, Cadavers are piling up, one by one, never to be seen again. Blood is spilled in every nick and cranny; doesn’t matter who you are, but chances of you being hit by a 38 missile is real.

We won’t go into specifics here, however there is a cult of killers walking the streets, we won’t name them though for the sake of protecting the guilty. You have seen them, we have seen them, America knows who they are, where they are, but the Woke Pols and lame stream media continues to patronize their existence for the sake of Wokeness.

The evidence will be subjected to interpretation by millions; no cover-up allowed of the latest incident. The innards of the perpetrators have released the natural venom as if they were set on fire. The rage of adrenalin raced through their bodies, no cure for the disease. The maniacally performance of the gang was such that it has gone nuclear.

Who and why would this be called a normal operating procedure? Definitely not in our America.  But then again, we see this type of vigilantism on the streets of America daily.

Be aware of the shaping of the events to their liking;  don’t be misled by the usual suspects who are raising the racist flag that White Privilege was to blame. Actually the joke is on them. Will they ever agree to clean up the Street Rats? 

“Let’s call this footage what it is—murder,” U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota, tweeted.

Freshman U.S. Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost, D-Florida, said it “Doesn’t matter what color those police officers are. The murder of Tyre Nichols is anti-Black and the result of white supremacy.”

We will patiently wait for the Chips to fall where they may.

The hammer has come down on ANTI- American scum that sat, notice we said “sat” on House of Representative Intelligence Committee. Kevin McCarthy has torched these lying bastards, who by the way, should be in the Iron Bar.

Omar, an illegal alien to boot, a Jew hater, an incestuous marriage with her brother no less, yeah brother or was it her father, we give up?; Schiff, “we have the evidence, yeah we do to, you lying piece of Mierda; and last but not least, the vendor to the Chinese of top secrets that were uncovered while bedding a spy from China have been booted from the INTEL COMMITTEE.

They are now squealing like Pigs at the trough blaming Right Wing members of Congress for their demise. There is nothing better than to listen to the viral invective coming out of their diarrhea mouths. It is music to our ears. 

McCarthy alleges Swalwell’s prior relationship with a suspected Chinese spy Christine Fang, Schiff’s alleged propensity for lying to Americans and Omar’s outspoken criticism of Israel would keep them off their respective committees.
