Vlad's Conscription Not Popular, RU Panic Spirals With Arson Attacks, Street Fights, and Manhunts
[Daily Beest] The Kremlin wants you to know there’s absolutely no panic in Russia a day after Vladimir Putin called up hundreds of thousands to go fight in Ukraine—just ignore the burning military recruitment offices, protests shutting down highways, and college students being snatched from their classes to go kill or be killed.

It’s also absolutely normal for protesters to be pulled from jail and sent to the front, and reports of men flocking to airports to get the hell out of the country are "fake," according to Putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.
Who ya gonna believe? A professional liar or your lying eyes?
"Information about some kind of fuss at airports is greatly exaggerated. There is a lot of fake information appearing about this," Peskov was quoted saying by the Interfax news agency.

He went on to defend the distribution of draft notices to protesters who took to the streets to condemn the new war effort, deferred other questions about the supposedly "partial" mobilization to the defense ministry, and said a new bombshell report about Putin’s decree allowing for up to 1 million citizens to be drafted is a "lie."

The report, by Novaya Gazeta Europe, cited a source in the presidential administration who said the one redacted clause in Putin’s mobilization order contained a provision for up to 1 million people to be called up for service.

Go stand in that line!"

"Нет! Comrade mycop!
Can't I just pay a fine?"

"Come here, you illiterate!
Of you we'll make a fighting man!"

#2  Yeah, well, I remember when Lyndon Johnson was drafting guys to fight in Vietnam before they were old enough to vote. He said we were fighting for democracy but he wouldn't let us vote. They always say we're fighting for democracy but somehow I'm not convinced.

You have your John McCain types but nobody in their right mind wants to go to war.

#3  But many right minds do want to soldier.

#4  Obviously, we need people who are willing to defend our country. But I'm afraid some of our past presidents have confused defending our country with butting into places where we don't belong.

Economy
Spirit Airlines Introduces New Bargain Flight Where They Just Launch You In A Medieval Catapult
[BZZZZZ so...satire] MIRAMAR, FL — Seeing the need to provide more affordable options for travelers affected by record inflation, Spirit Airlines has introduced a new bargain flight where they just launch you in a medieval catapult.

The announcement comes at a time when families have been forced to spend over $10,000 more per year on basic necessities due to unprecedented government spending and inflation.

"Technically, it's a mangonel, but the layperson can go ahead and call it a catapult," said Spirit Airlines CEO Barry Thurpurton, when describing the new service in which penny-pinching customers are loaded into the bucket of an old catapult and sent careening in the general direction of their destination city. "'Traction Trebuchet' also works, but that did not test well with focus groups.

"I saved so much money using Spirit Airlines' new catapult service," said one happy customer from an emergency room. "I look forward to flying home — via catapult — in a few months after they remove this body cast."

At publishing time, Spirit Airlines announced that, due to increased demand, they have introduced an affordable First Class catapult service where flight attendants duct tape a couple of pillows to your torso before you are hurtled through the air.
Still probably better than my previous experience with this particular airline

Government Corruption
Vanderbilt Medical Center's 'transgender' program is built on money and power
[American Thinker] The transgender movement could not survive if America's medical establishment were not supporting it. If so-called "transgender" people were swiftly referred to compassionate psychiatrists who help people recover from gender dysphoria, transgenderism would be a medical backwater. But as unearthed materials from Vanderbilt University's Medical Center show, "transgenderism" is a huge money-maker. Moreover, it appears that the medical center aggressively polices its staff to make sure they don't kill the goose laying these remarkably profitable gender eggs.

Matt Walsh's Twitter thread speaks for itself. All the videos are short, and I urge you to take the time to listen to each one of them. What you'll see unfold is a medical center that is apparently willing to mutilate people, including children, for money, and that seems to have implemented oversight systems to ensure that no one on the medical staff can even attempt to dissuade people from destroying their bodies with chemicals and surgery without the threat of a career-destroying response.

Seeing these videos, it's natural to turn to the internet to find further information that would confirm what's happening or that would put the material in context, showing that it's not as bad as it seems. However, Vanderbilt University Medical Center has taken the original materials offline, including blocking access to web pages that might provide further information. (See, e.g., the pages that once gave information about Shayne Taylor, here and here, the doctor who touts the enormous profitability of so-called "transgender" procedures.) And while the Medical Center denies any actionable wrongdoing, it does not deny the specific facts set out below.

Naturally, because Walsh brought to a wider audience information that Vanderbilt Medical Center freely made available to the public, he was accused of terrorism and reported to the FBI.

With those predicates in mind, here's Matt Walsh's Twitter thread (or you can watch the video at the bottom of this post, in which Matt Walsh discusses in greater detail the same evidence):

#1  Vanderbilt and Washington D.C. appear to have much in common.
Posted by: Besoeker || 09/23/2022 7:34 Comments || Top||

#2  Anytime one of these outfits is put under the spotlight, they yank the relevant web pages from their sites in a flash. Sort of like cockroaches scurrying under the fridge when the kitchen light goes on.

They know what they are doing is wrong, but the count on cover from the gummint and media.

Masters of Deceit: The Government's Propaganda of Fear, Mind Control & Brain Warfare
[Rutherford Institute] The U.S. government has become a master of deceit.

It’s all documented, too.

This is a government that lies, cheats, steals, spies, kills, maims, enslaves, breaks the laws, overreaches its authority, and abuses its power at almost every turn; treats its citizens like faceless statistics and economic units to be bought, sold, bartered, traded, and tracked; and wages wars for profit, jails its own people for profit, and has no qualms about spreading its reign of terror abroad.

Worse, this is a government that has become almost indistinguishable from the evil it claims to be fighting, whether that evil takes the form of terrorism, torture, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, murder, violence, theft, pornography, scientific experimentations or some other diabolical means of inflicting pain, suffering and servitude on humanity.

With every passing day, it becomes painfully clear that this is not a government that can be trusted with your life, your loved ones, your livelihood or your freedoms.

Just recently, for example, the Pentagon was compelled to order a sweeping review of clandestine U.S. psychological warfare operations (psy ops) conducted through social media platforms. The investigation comes in response to reports suggesting that the U.S. military has been creating bogus personas with AI-generated profile pictures and fictitious media sites on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in order to manipulate social media users.

“It is the function of mass agitation to exploit all the grievances, hopes, aspirations, prejudices, fears, and ideals of all the special groups that make up our society, social, religious, economic, racial, political. Stir them up. Set one against the other. Divide and conquer. That’s the way to soften up a democracy.”― J. Edgar Hoover, Masters of Deceit

#2 
I would prefer to see it as the DC Swamp and LSD Authorities are working to become masters of deceit.

But there are still enough Loyal Citizens to the Bill Of Rights willing to risk life, limb and freedom to expose the treacheries against the American People.

BTW: I'll say it again, Z-Burg must be Doctor Soong's 1st attempt at creating a "Data"

#3  Trump didn't put up much of a fight last time. There's no reason to think it would be different next time.

#4  GOP candidates, outside of Reagan, have not put up much of a fight for over the last hundred years. There's little reason to get your hopes over another party candidate. With Trump, we can at least hedge on vengeance.

Mitch McConnel is one of the slimiest swamp creatures there. Not to mention the MSM.
