Black Activist Lawyer's Idea To Stop Law-Breaking: Just Legalize Crime
“They’re depraved on account o’they’re deprived.”
[ZeroHedge] During a recent appearance on MSNBC, a black activist lawyer suggested that crime in the United States could be completely eliminated if all crime was just legalized.

The comments were made by Ben Crump, who specializes in civil rights cases and was the attorney for the families of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.

“We can get rid of all the crime in America overnight, just like that,” Crump told his fellow guests, one of whom was civil rights activist Al Sharpton.

“And people ask ‘how attorney Crump?’ – change the definition of crime.”

“Of course!” responded another guest.

“If you get to define what conduct is gonna be made criminal, you can predict who the criminals are gonna be,” added Crump.

Another guest responded by saying that suggested all black people were criminals by their nature.

“They made the laws to criminalize our culture – black culture,” responded Crump.

Respondents on X asserted that Crump was essentially acknowledging someone he probably didn’t intend to.

Economy
It's a No-Brainer: Economic Growth Is Happening Mainly in Red States
[PJ] It might be the easiest answer on Jeopardy: Where is most economic growth in the United States happening?

If you took "Red States" you win a cookie. The United States is experiencing rapid growth and job creation, with most of the growth occurring in red states.

ABC News doesn't quite seem to connect all the dots. In fact, it misses the picture entirely, in favor of giving Joe Biden most of the credit for the economic surge.

"Dating back to when the president took office, he has enacted a set of historic legislative accomplishments that have very directly driven the historic labor market recovery and historic economic growth we’ve had," said Daniel Hornung, deputy director at the National Economic Council, a Biden administration group.

If you gave my dead grandmother $5.5 trillion and pumped it into the economy after an unnecessary shutdown due to a pandemic, she could grow the economy equally as well as Biden.

Any horse's patootie can grow the economy by waving a magic wand and creating trillions of dollars in economic growth thanks to government spending. The real trick is growing the economy by creating wealth thanks to private investment powered by tax cuts and other monetary vehicles. That's noninflationary growth, not the artificial imitation growth that Joe Biden created.

#1  No surprise. The Blue States are downright unfriendly to business. What isn't sued, regulated and taxed out of existence is put out of business by thugs who smash and grab.

Government Corruption
Your Government Needs You Angry At Foreign Tyrants So You Won't Notice The Ones Ruling You
[Federalist] In response to reports that Putin critic Alexei Navalny has died in a Russian prison, your rulers in Washington want you to be angry. Your corrupt government, which is at this very moment working to put your Christian neighbors in prison for protesting abortion, wants you to be very angry at a foreign leader nearly 6,000 miles away so you won’t pay attention to what your leaders are doing to you in your own backyard.

Your government, which wants to disarm you and prevent you from defending yourself, wants you angry at a leader who has no power over you whatsoever. The government that censors you and lies to you about viruses it helped create wants your focus elsewhere. The government that sold your economy off to China and then destroyed the value of your currency wants you mad at someone else.

The government that banned you from going to church and then tried to fire you for not taking its worthless "vaccine" wants to whip you into a frenzy over literally anything else other than what it’s doing to you right now.

The government that opened your borders to invasion and looked the other way as violent crime enveloped your cities wants you to believe that crime on another continent is the only crime you should care about. And that the borders of a country half a world away are the only borders worth protecting.

#1  And that the borders of a country half a world away are the only borders worth protecting.

It's actually worse than that. Because the biggest beneficiary of Ukraine war is China.
China wants Russian Far East a lot more than it wants Taiwan.

#2  Yeah, in fact, didn't the Chinese draw some map where they had a Russian area labelled as Chinese territory?

Probably nothing new, just that it was mentioned on the Web somewhere, and I happened to catch it.

Sundance - Update Far Outside the Wire…
[Refuge] "You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only option." I think it was Bob Marley who said that... lol. But it’s true.

I’m so far outside the wire trying to research, communicate, dig through the globalist lies and quantify the crazy in terms that are understandable; sometimes I think this effort itself is nuts. Then again, being a dissident means living your best life, and don’t stop swinging for the fences.

The original plan was to meet with people who have a solid, I mean historically impenetrable understanding of how to organize a solidarity movement, then learn, learn... ask questions, seek counsel, find the network, and put the plans into an actionable effort that could be brought back to the USA. {GO DEEP}

Yes, in case you have not been paying attention, the best people to teach you how to defend against the looming communist, fascist and corporatist encroachment are the people who fought it.

The Eastern EU countries are the epicenter of the best rebel alliance thinkers. Pulling the labeled dissidents into my orbit, learning and questioning, has been extremely interesting and seriously informative.

The initial plan was to bring a few people back with me to the U.S., then go on a short tour of several states for meetings and discussions with stateside allies. However, some entity at the Dept of State intercepted the plan, and we have run into newly refused visa issues even though they were previously approved.

If I was a conspiracy minded person, I would notice these visa issues "happened" immediately after my laptops and other devices were compromised by a "virus" in Prague that rendered them useless.

That said, I am not quitting the effort to bring them to the U.S. yet. Yep, ask those who know, and you’ll discover that putting a hurdle in front of a CTH plan only makes my resolve harden. Also, there are far more good people inside the system trying to help than there are bad people trying to harm... the difference is the bad people are in positions of power and authority. They are few, we are many — don’t forget that.

The EU farmers, truckers, machinists, general laborers with shakable calloused hands are all super insightful and full of no-quit in their DNA, -that’s super cool.

People stateside tell me I’m crazy for trying this... hell, who knows, maybe I am. I’ve failed a lot... but I ain’t gonna quit. I love this country, and she’s worth fighting for. I don’t have the answers; I just know the current status quo is not going to work — not for me, not for you, and not for the generation behind us that deserves so much better.

If you’ve got a better idea, then tell me. Don’t be quiet... speak. I’ve got a lot of research complete and an entire network ready to mobilize to support any stateside effort. The rest of the world knows how important 2024 is to the USA, and they are willing to put their time into helping us get President Trump back into office.

#1  Musk has repeatedly expressed concern over the weaponization of the justice system under the Biden Administration and Democrat-controlled states.

Musk, along with many others.

#2  The self-igniting NYC boycott by truckers suggests they have been reading what Sundance is discussing in CTH. Targeted, legal, peaceful, economic pressure.

One Life – Official Trailer - Warner Bros. UK & Ireland
[YouTube]


Based on the book If It’s Not Impossible…: The Life of Sir Nicholas Winton by Barbara Winton, ONE LIFE tells the incredible, emotional true story of Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton (Flynn), a young London broker who visits Prague in December 1938. In a race against time, Winton convinces Trevor Chadwick (Sharp) and Doreen Warriner (Garai) of the British Committee for Refugees in Czechoslovakia to rescue hundreds of predominantly Jewish children before Nazi occupation closes the borders. Fifty years later, Nicky (Hopkins) is haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England. It’s not until the BBC show “That’s Life!” re-introduces him to some of those he helped rescue that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he carried – all the while skyrocketing from anonymity to a national hero.

First-trimester COVID Vaccination is 28% More Dangerous than Third-trimester, Another Study Shows
[IgorChudov] My two recent posts mentioned a disturbing pattern appearing in several studies of children born to COVID-19-vaccinated mothers. For a yet unknown reason, children born to mothers vaccinated during the first trimester of pregnancy consistently show a greater rate of developmental problems compared to vaccinations done during the third trimester.

A bit lengthy but a good read of several studies.
