[Just the News] I have grave concern that the court was defrauded intentionally ... There was some type of agenda, an inappropriate agenda beyond an objective intelligence or criminal investigation," said Kevin Brock, a retired FBI assistant director for Intelligence who helped implement most of the intelligence and informant rules the FBI uses today.
"I struggle to find any other explanation," Brock told the John Solomon Reports podcast. "Any other explanation just doesn't pass the smell test. I mean, the glaring — the Steele dossier, for an experienced counterintelligence agent in the field, was blinking red lights Russian disinformation campaign, and yet you're going to have the highest levels of the FBI executives use that to create an investigation?"
Brock believes the FISA reforms that FBI Director Christopher Wray has implemented are well intentioned and legitimate, and that the current FBI repudiates what the Comey FBI did during the Russia case. "I have been in audiences where the director has spoken — not open to the press — that reassured me greatly that he was just as taken aback by all that occurred under the Comey administration. So I am heartened by that."
The biggest challenge for the FBI, he said, is finding the right balance between technology that can solve crimes and thwart attacks, and the protection of personal liberty.
[StrategyPage] ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) appears to have undertaken an unofficial and unilateral truce with China.
That means no more attacks against Chinese in Moslem countries and no more public criticism of Chinese mistreatment of the Moslem Uighurs in northwestern China (Xinjiang province), an area the Uighurs and many Moslems refer to as East Turkistan.
The ISIL move was practical, as in there was little chance of success in attacking China or Chinese.
What happened in Xinjiang while ISIL was building its "caliphate" in eastern Syrian and western Iraq was scary, and ISIL members don’t scare easy.

Of course. There's just no East Turkestan to liberate anymore. Every potential jihadster there is busy stitching shoes and underwear for sale in WalMart.
Islamics understand the statement that conquest, execution and enslavement makes. It means 'superior'.
[DW] Gay Paree does not want them — the wives of 'Islamic State' fighters and their children languishing in Syrian jails. But refusing to allow them to return to La Belle France will ultimately backfire.
To be fair, many of the wives were not just little Kinder, Kirche, Kueche baby factories, but were full-fledged participants in the ISIS Caliphate in their own right, even if just by abetting their husbands’ abuse of war booty concubines and house slaves. But quite a few went further, joining the female divisions of the morals police, brainwashing children in schools, treating ISIS fighters as doctors and nurses, and so forth. The romantic idea of the submissive and silent little Muslim wife dragged to the Caliphate by her vicious, controlling, uncivilized husband was only true for a portion of the women and girls who joined from all over the world.
French authorities are loathed to repatriate French women who left the country to join the so-called 'Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... ' (IS) and are now stuck in Syrian jails. Since the defeat of 'IS' in 2014, 120 French women and over 300 children have remained in the country. Since the defeat of 'IS' in 2014? Seems like you might have the dates wrong there chump? Remember the JV? Remember Orangemanbad? Oblahblah didn't defeat IS Continued on Page 49

Sorry, "Ladies".. play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
[AlAhram] More and more European countries are at last waking up to the threat of Islamist radicalism in their midst
The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... has not been witnessing its finest hours since the new millennium, and the Covid-19 pandemic has proven to be bigger than the capabilities of the second-largest economy in the world that now comprises 27 European countries after the departure of the United Kingdom.

... John Fitzgerald Johnson to his mother, in previous incarnations he has been a rapper/producer/DJ, Army veteran, director of a global cloud integration practice and solutions architect — whatever that means — and independent presidential candidate in 2016 who ran on a platform of racism, women’s rights, and economic equality...
of the Not Fuckin’ Around Coalition (NFAC)
...established four years ago, it oddly enough has previously been described as a far right Patriot militia made up primarily of law-abiding military veterans who respect understand the Constitution, different only in its Black racial exclusiveness from the III Percenters, Oath Keepers, and Boogaloo Bois. At other times, even more oddly, it’s been described as a branch of the Black Lives Matter movement. Protests in Louisville, Kentucky and Stone Mountain were their previous big excitements...
was talking about a separate Black nation in North America and saying "We’ll take Texas," most people were skeptical. A group of guys who spend most of their time accidentally discharging their weapons and shooting each other did not seem particularly serious. NFAC’s missteps, however, masked the deadly serious consequences of an ideology that increasingly seeks to Balkanize us and break our nation into pieces, which collectively will be much less than the whole.
Orisha Land is an autonomous zone declared by the group "400 + 1." It’s eleven mile perimeter is formed by Manor Road, 51st Street, Springdale Road, 7th Street, Interstate-35, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Franklin Street within what was formerly known as the city of Austin, Texas. On February 14, 2021 an eleven-mile car procession around the perimeter of this new nation formally announced that the authority of the State of Texas and of the United States of America would no longer be recognized.

Can't we create an Indian reservation equivalent for these nuts? Call it the Wakandan Tribal Reservation and give them all the rights that Indian tribes have. Carve some land out of one of our federal military disposal sites.
In the native religion of the Yoruba people, Orisha (spelled òrìṣà in the Yoruba language, orichá in Cuban practice and orixá in Brazilian practice of Latin America) are spirits sent by Olodumare[1] for the guidance of all creation and of humanity in particular, on how to live and be successful on Àiyé (Earth). Most Òrìṣà are said to have previously existed in the spirit world (òrún) as Irúnmọlẹ̀, and then become incarnated as human beings here on Earth. Others are said to be humans who are recognised as deities upon their death due to extraordinary feats accomplished in life.[2]
Many Òrìṣà have found their way to most of the New World as a result of the Atlantic slave trade and are now expressed in practices as varied as Santería, Candomblé, Trinidad Orisha, Umbanda, and Oyotunji, among others. The concept of orisha is similar to those of deities in the traditional religions of the Bini people of Edo State in southern Nigeria, the Ewe people of Benin, Ghana, and Togo, and the Fon people of Benin
Orisha (spelled òrìṣà in the Yoruba language, and orichá or orixá in Latin America) are spirits who reflect manifestations of the supreme divinity in Yoruba religion. According to Yoruba tradition there are 400 + 1 orishas. This quantity is thought to be sacred and innumerable. or "as many as you can think of, plus one more."

[Bookworm Room] Over a decade ago, I realized how true to form American leftists run. They’re more aggressive now, but their tactics are still the same.
A friend and I were speaking about the political predictions we’ve made in the last decade. We realized that I was right significantly more often than he had been right. Further conversation revealed why I was so prescient.
It’s not that I’m smarter or more informed than he is. (Believe me when I say I’m not.) It’s that I’m a pessimist and he’s an optimist. I always assume the worst will come true. That doesn’t mean I don’t occasionally see positive outcomes. For example, I predicted in 2007 that Obama’s pro-Iranian worldview would bring Israel closer to the Sunni Arab world. Trump’s peace initiatives proved me right.
Today’s ascendant leftism means that I’m doing exceptionally well in the prediction business. When leftists have power, if you always assume the worst, you will seldom be wrong.
After all, leftists are nothing if not predictable. No matter the means they choose, the ends are the same: Anti-liberty, anti-unity, anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-Constitution (and, specifically, anti-First, Second, and Fourth Amendments)...I could go on but you get the point. Whether they use class, economic disparities, race, sex, or imaginary genders, the point is to destroy liberty in all its manifestations. Easy to predict.
Of course, I’m new to the game of analyzing and predicting leftism, having started only 20 or so years ago. However, one well-known American novelist was very good at it. I wrote a post 11 years ago looking at her work compared to the world Obama was giving us in 2010. She’d nailed what had happened. Since then, her predictions, which show up as commentary in her novel about how leftists operate, are proving to be even more eerily accurate.
[USA Today] WASHINGTON — Joe Biden ran for the White House as the mask candidate, criticizing then-President Donald Trump’s dismissal of masks, promising to get tough on mask wearing and modeling good behavior by wearing at least one — and sometimes two —masks himself.
"The one thing we do know — these masks make a gigantic difference," Biden said last June. "I would insist that everybody out in public be wearing that mask."
As president, however, Biden is running up against the limits of the bully pulpit as mask-wearing remains politically polarized.
Plus, people have gotten tired of pandemic restrictions and see less need for precautions as COVID-19 vaccinations increase, even though health officials are urgently warning that now is not the time to ease up.
After the governors of Texas and Mississippi moved to lift mask mandates on Tuesday, an exasperated and frustrated Biden said Wednesday that such decisions come from "Neanderthal thinking."
[American Thinker] Even ten minutes reading from a teleprompter on a Saturday afternoon was too much for the 45th President of the United States. I suppose his handlers figured that it was important to mark Senate passage of the nearly $2 trillion pork-laden, blue state-bailing out "stimulus" bill with some presidential remarks. It may, after all, turn out to be the high point of the Biden presidency, since Senate passage of the rest of the Biden agenda looks iffy, now that Senators Manchin and Sinema have stated their opposition to ending the filibuster.
But how much longer will the American people accept the spectacle of their command-in-chief visibly incapable of coherence? It’s painful to watch even 35 seconds of it.

350 million people x $1000 = $350 Billion
$3000 to every person is just over half of the proposal, and a helluva lot more than, I understand, the proposal will provide.
This is not a relief package. This is a payoff to accept this administration and to accept everything else in the bill and the jumbo crayon executive order coloring books, and a jar of jellybeans.

The biggest problem is how it changes voting. Forcing states to relax regulations on mail-in ballots, eliminating ID requirements, and eliminating verification. Democrat regimes forever!

[Science Alert] While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like pages of a book, is Earth's history. Our history.
Now researchers have found more evidence for a whole new chapter deep within Earth's past - Earth's inner core appears to have another even more inner core within it.
"Traditionally we've been taught the Earth has four main layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core," explained Australian National University geophysicist Joanne Stephenson.
Our knowledge of what lies beneath Earth's crust has been inferred mostly from what volcanoes have divulged and seismic waves have whispered. From these indirect observations scientists have calculated that the scorchingly hot inner core, with temperatures surpassing 5,000 degrees Celsius (9,000 Fahrenheit), makes up only one percent of Earth's total volume.
Now Stephenson and colleagues have found more evidence Earth's inner core may have two distinct layers.
"It's very exciting - and might mean we have to re-write the textbooks!" she added.
The team used a search algorithm to trawl through and match thousands of models of the inner core with observed data across many decades about how long seismic waves take to travel through Earth, gathered by the International Seismological Centre.

In this month’s feature article, Ali Soufan provides a comprehensive profile of Saif al-`Adl, an Egyptian charter al-Qa`ida member who could soon become the group’s third emir. Soufan writes that "with the confirmed deaths of Hamza bin Ladin and Abu Muhammad al-Masri, as well as the reported (but as yet unconfirmed) demise of al-Qa`ida’s second emir, Ayman al-Zawahiri ...Formerly second in command of al-Qaeda, now the head cheese, occasionally described as the real brains of the outfit. Formerly the Mister Big of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Bumped off Abdullah Azzam with a car boom in the course of one of their little disputes. Is thought to have composed bin Laden's fatwa entitled World Islamic Front Against Jews and Crusaders. Currently residing in the North Wazoo area assuming he's not dead like Mullah Omar. He lost major face when he ordered the nascent Islamic State to cease and desist and merge with the orthodox al-Qaeda spring, al-Nusra... , the likely next in line to inherit the leadership is ...

[PJ] The Church of Woke™ and its catechism are slowly and surely deconstructing American culture and institutions. To stifle dissent and excommunicate non-believers, they have several tools in their arsenal. To engineer the deconstruction, Wokeists have created phrases that upend the meanings of words to prevent thoughtful discussion and end ideological debate. This twisted language serves to increase division and polarization based on group identity.
For example, when LeBron James tweets that blacks are "literally hunted" when they step out of their homes, Wokeists will defend that as something called "his truth." On the intersectional pyramid, you are never allowed to question a person speaking their truth if they are a member of an ostensibly oppressed group as long as they discuss issues related to that group’s identity. Even a multi-millionaire basketball player whose hyperbolic overstatement is remarkable should not be questioned.
Of course, this only works if you are speaking in support of the Wokeist worldview. The Church of Woke™ does not consider individual differences because they believe only group identity matters. An Asian male telling their truth about being passed over for admission to Harvard because of his race would likely be canceled, despite objective proof showing that could well be the case. Because Asian-Americans are quite successful in the traditional American meritocracy, their ethnic minority status does not reconcile with the Wokeist view of an oppressed minority. They will only be considered if it serves the Wokeist agenda.
Another example is former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. To justify her electoral loss, she has had a national platform to accuse Republicans in the state of actively engaging in suppressing minority votes for several years. This assertion is her "lived experience" and is never questioned by the corporate media or Democrats. It has also brought tens of millions into her not-for-profit organizations. She has never provided any proof or data to support her position, and there is plenty of data to disprove her claims.

So basically it's all just Black powah! Couched in guilt leveraging philosophies of apology and self-righteousness forced upon whites. The package has been designed well, and the recipe has been cooking while the 'trained marxists' trained, since the 70s.
To the Wakandan, only the black matter, the browns whom they choose to appreciate, and some white apologists who must pay jiziya now for the rest of their godforsaken lives.
Question is, why do the white elites believe they can utilize this without it becoming a dangerous rampancy? Are they entertaining the same sort of genius idea they had when weaponizing the mujahids in the 80s?
