Who's Really In Charge ???

Here are some observations from Matt Taibbi:

We sell politics in American media as a soap opera, and the personalities make for lively copy, but properly following the bouncing ball means watching institutions, not characters. Where are armies, banks, central banks, intelligence services, the press? Whose money is talking on the floor of the House and the Senate? How concentrated is financial and political power? How do public and private institutions coordinate? When they coordinate, what are their collective aims? How transparent are they or aren’t they? How accountable?

Considering that Big Tech and the MSM have absolutely destroyed our ability to publicize any narratives except those of TPTB, it's damn near impossible for We the People to know what is going on and who is in charge. All we can be certain of is that it's not us:

In my view, this is a development which poses a FAR GREATER DANGER to democracy than anything President Trump and his so-called supporters are alleged to have done.

What do YOU think?

Aid And Comfort ???

Speaker Pelosi wants to deprive President Trump of the ability to launch nuclear weapons:

https://nypost.com/2021/01/08/pelosi-calls-gen-milley-to-block-trump-from-using-nuclear-codes/

The correct way to do this would be to invoke the 25th Amendment. If Trump's cabinet doesn't agree, then her actions are WAY over the top.

What's really going on here?

US Constitution Article 3, Section 3

1. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

Interfering with the president's powers at this time of chaos and perceived national weakness may leave the US open to attack. Doesn't that constitute giving aid and comfort to our enemies?

I submit there is little actual evidence that Trump is "unhinged", but plenty that Pelosi is.

By the way, the Germans have noticed China may be taking advantage of the chaos caused NOT by Trump but by how Congress reacted to the MSM-televised phony "coup":

Just a coincidence, or is this part of Biden's payoff to China for helping him win the "election"?

Here is a discussion concerning why Speaker Pelosi may be guilty of sedition:

I believe she is. Why isn't she being impeached and indicted?

All The Money In The World

El-On Musk allegedly is now the world's richest person. What does he intend to do with all that money?

Over the past year, Elon Musk's net worth soared by more than $150 billion in possibly the fastest bout of wealth creation in history, according to a Bloomberg report. A pinned tweet on his Twitter profile explains what he wants to do with the money.

"About half my money is intended to help problems on Earth & half to help establish a self-sustaining city on Mars to ensure continuation of life (of all species) in case Earth gets hit by a meteor like the dinosaurs or WW3 happens & we destroy ourselves," Elon Musk explains in a tweet from 2018.

So he's going to build an ark?

How many of us will this modern-day Noah be taking with him when he moves to Mars? I suspect it will be far less than 8 billion (probably less than 8 thousand).

Biden's Bumbling Blitz

According to this report, Geriatric Joe plans a vaccine blitz:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/us/politics/biden-coronavirus-vaccinations.html

But a similar effort in Israel apparently has NOT stopped the virus from spreading:

https://news.yahoo.com/israel-forced-tighten-lockdown-measures-132205628.html

So, once again, we must ask, "what's the point?" Is Biden's blitz just a PR stunt?

Update - 1/20/2021

Apparently LOTS of vaccinated Israelis are testing positive:

Does this vaccine really work? Who knows?

Predictions For 2021

Some good, some bad, some likely, some not:

The Insurrection That Wasn't

According to cooler (and more objective?) heads, there was no "insurrection" in Washington, DC on January 6, 2021. Here are some of the reasons why:

• There was no "storming",
• There was no "incitement",
• There was no "violence",
• And the riot effectively ended Trump’s presidency.

And here's a discussion why it wasn't a "coup" either:

https://mtracey.medium.com/only-in-your-imagination-was-that-an-attempted-coup-8bb8cc9fb39b

In the wake of what happened, Professor Jonathan Turley suggests we need a federal commission to look into the 2020 election:

https://jonathanturley.org/2021/01/07/i-hate-federal-commissions-but-americans-need-one-to-look-into-the-2020-election/

I agree with him, but how often do such commissions or blue-ribbon panels do anything other than muddy the waters?

We're much more likely to get investigations leading to the indictment of Donald Trump and his so-called supporters. Is that what the country really needs at this point in time? I guess it is if you're one of those who wants to crush his populist movement, but realistically the Trump era is over. Putting him in jail would make him a martyr, and wouldn't that just prolong the turmoil?

If Biden really wants to heal the nation, he should just let Trump fade into obscurity. Isn't that what Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln would have done?

Here is what Jefferson said about an actual rebellion:

"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13 states independant 11 years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?" [from TJ's Tree of Liberty letter]

And here are Lincoln's intentions following our bloody Civil War:

"With malice toward none with charity for all with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan ~ to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." [from AL's second inaugural address]

Or should we use the pretext that both these former presidents were on the wrong side of the slavery issue and therefore should be cancelled along with all of Trump's supporters?

Here is Stephen Lendman's analysis of what really happened in DC:

Our "Mandela Effect" Election

Yesterday afternoon I turned off the "news" channels which were fixating on the spectacle in DC, and quite by accident watched the movie The Mandela Effect. I soon realized the movie accurately reflected what was going on in both the Capitol and our national capital.

When our nation's prevailing narrative/paradigm/simulacrum/simulation started to fray and crack (OMG, they noticed the electoral FRAUD !!!), it was time to do what TPTB always do - bring the two opposing sides together and inject violence into the mix. Once the battle erupts (it matters not who fires the first shot), the MSM and social media can easily steer the narrative to the desired outcome - see, we told you, Orange Man Evil. All his followers are evil, too.

And voila, the desired narrative/paradigm/simulacrum/simulation emerges repaired and stronger than before, all cracks sealed and the fraying rendered invisible.

Before you go away thinking that yesterday's spectacle "restored democracy" in the USA, you ought to read these observations by a Serbian-American journalist and blogger:

https://www.rt.com/op-ed/511740-us-democracy-congress-stormed/

Had yesterday's rioting occurred in Serbia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, or any of America's other "enemies", the pro-Trump mob would have been hailed as patriots, heroes, liberators, etc. But instead they're wicked insurrectionists because, as we all know deep down inside, America is wonderful, G-d loves us (and only us), and we would NEVER rig an election.

NEVER !!! (At least not here.)

The best we can hope for from yesterday's clusterfuck is that stability has been restored. We also can hope that those who now control our government will do things which benefit We the People, but from where I sit such a hope would more accurately be called a delusion.

Those who will do anything to seize power usually are doing so purely for the sake of power.

Update - 01/07/2021

By the way, what proof do we have that those who stormed the Capitol actually were Trump supporters?

Once again, the "approved" narrative/paradigm/simulacrum/simulation is being accepted without evidence, investigation, or debate.
