The final registered roll call vote will be [available here], it’s not yet registered. However, at almost midnight the House finally passed the previous $550 billion Senate infrastructure bill.
After a day of backbiting and internal debate among the far-left communist wing and the socialist wing inside the Democrat caucus, Nancy Pelosi was forced to bring the long delayed ordinary infrastructure bill to a vote. 13 republicans supported it. The final vote was 228/206.
This bill has a long backstory {SEE HERE}, as it was originally going to be connected to a massive Build Back Better social spending bill demanded by the communists in the House. However, after months of attempts to structure some way to get two bills out of the House, one of them insanely over-the-top with social spending, eventually the communists were forced to let the original Senate bill come up for a stand alone vote.
With the Democrats needing a win, any win, to show they are capable of doing something…. they put this bill to a vote. The future of their communist social spending bill is unknown.
A massive protest is currently underway in the streets of Melbourne Australia (State of Victoria), where it is currently Saturday morning. Thousands of people are protesting the efforts of the Victoria government to codify COVID regulations into permanent law making the outrageous lockdown rules a permanent part of the toolbox for oppressive government control.
The State of Victoria, Melbourne area, led by Premier Daniel Andrews has been the epicenter of some of the most brutal police action against protestors. However, due to the scale of the crowds, it appears the police are no longer going to attempt to beat them into submission again or use rubber bullets.
It appears the international spotlight, provided by alternative media breaking through the control of the government media, has led to shame upon the political establishment. The police no longer seem willing to participate in the government efforts to stop voices of opposition.
Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe releases an alarming message. The FBI and DOJ from the Southern District of New York (SDNY) have raided the homes of Project Veritas journalists. Keep in mind, background activity indicates the modern FBI mission for the U.S. government is the same FSB mission for the Kremlin.
As the raid was taking place a journalist from the New York Times contacted one of the targets and asked for comment; highlighting that the FBI and DOJ had told the New York Times in advance of their raid. This is stunning. WATCH:
Two days ago CTH warned everyone this would happen: […] “in the background of every place they gather, those political activists who were handed a resounding defeat yesterday are discussing how to attack again. In defeat you can fully expect this insane crowd to become even more entrenched, even more vitriolic, even more crazy. You will see it with even bigger demands on their Big Tech and Big Government allies to crush voices of communication against their enemy.”
“They will demand more censorship, more deplatforming of their opposition; more silencing of voices, more demonetization of content platforms by their corporate allies. They will go even harder in the totalitarian direction. This is what they do. This crowd is like the scorpion in Aesop’s fable about the frog crossing the river. They are incapable of not stinging… it’s what they do.” (read more)
The problem with modern Democrats is that they believe in what they are doing….
There’s a lot of celebration on the side of the everyday commonsense electorate, as voters last night in the November off-year election have rebuked their policies in almost every municipal election held. However, do not fool yourself into believing the election outcome will cause Democrats to pause in their efforts. The radical leftists who now control Democrat policy priorities do not have any inclination to reverse course; instead they will double down.
The need for control is a reaction to fear. Anger is a very visible response from the leftists whenever their policies are rejected. The modern political left do not view rejection as a rebuke of their ideology, instead they view rejection as a need to push harder. From their perspective they need to reeducate their target; to force a change in thinking from incorrect thoughts to correct thoughts; and the only acceptable path is to push harder.
This approach is based on a cognitive inability to reflect or contemplate that their ideology is flawed. Because they put the emotion of their views as the motive for their effort, they are incapable of changing direction. From the perspective of the modern political left, if they were to change direction, they would be rejecting the foundation of their own personal value. They cannot do that. It’s not them that are wrong -ever- it’s you.
Those who do not adhere to the insane ideological goals of the far left, are viewed as the problem that must be overcome. Their emotional attachment to ideology is why these avowed and ideological followers cannot be redeemed or coerced into reasonable positions with any logical argument. Instead, you must be re-educated to see their worth, to value their ideology… you, the person or group who stands in their way, will always be viewed as the problem.
New Zealand’s smiley faced Fascist Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is the female messiah to the global progressive movement. Everything about her is carefully controlled and scripted for public display; including her positions on COVID-19 mitigation, her insane lockdowns, geographic bubble dictates and her over-the-top vaccine mandate push.
Any journalist/’churnalist’ who does not stay inside the government approved guidelines for COVID questioning is removed from their job. In every extreme manner you would consider, the New Zealand government under the Ardern regime control everything the public is permitted to hear.
Today, Ardern traveled to the guarded proximity border between Auckland and Northland where she was justifying her quarantine enforcement zones. The guarded checkpoints are in place to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus, or so she claims. Ardern has never been publicly challenged to reconcile her continued claims that the vaccine will stop people from getting the COVID-19 virus, because the government controls who is permitted to ask questions.
Today, what I believe to be a pharmacist, attended one of her frequent press conferences and challenged her for the first time to explain her position. The man asking the questions cited the reality and scientific outcomes in the U.K. and Israel that show the vaccine does nothing to stop the spread of the virus or any variant. This was the very first time Prime Minister Ardern faced a question that was not from a controlled and approved media script. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS (video at 10:00 prompted):
.
A visibly shaken Prime Minister Ardern could not handle being asked to reconcile her continued claims about vaccine efficacy against the reality that the vaccine does nothing to stop the spread of the virus. She had to shut down the conversation, and the questioner was promptly the target of the government control agents.
If you really believed that man made global warming was real…. and if you really believed that global population growth was the “existential threat” to all humanity and life on the planet…. and if you were part of the elite group, multinational corporations and politicians, who run the socio-economic systems that sustain human existence….. then a strategy to eliminate the population by reducing the lifespan of people would be viewed internally as an altruistic endeavor to save the planet.
If that sounds like hyperbole, you likely have not listened to the impassioned speeches and pleas at the “Conference of the Parties 26” (COP26) assembly in Glasgow, Scotland today.
Humans, as an existential threat to planetary survival, was exactly the terminology used today by current White House occupant Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emanuel Macron, HRH Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, and her son heir to the throne, Prince Charles.
All of these global leaders called the people who populate the planet “an existential threat to mankind.”
Joe Biden said: “This is the challenge of our collective lifetimes. The existential threat to human existence as we know it. And every day we delay, the cost of inaction increases. So let this be the moment that we answer history’s call” (link)
Prince Charles called for a military approach, a war footing and the assembly of multinational corporations united with politicians in dealing with the existential threat that people represent. MUST WATCH:
.
The key point is this: The global elite consider the population of the planet to be the problem.
Pause and think about that for a moment. Man made climate change as an issue is only solvable, in its most dire of circumstances, by eliminating the root cause of the problem, people.
The global political elite wax philosophically about the issue, with increasing levels of severity according to their own definition of alarm signals, but their underlying problem is with a planet that is -according to their worldview- overpopulated.
Now, with that level of urgency behind what they claim to be the “existential threat”, what actions would they consider appropriate in order to save the planet?
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio took a victory lap today in celebration of losing 9,000 municipal workers and first responders as the deadline for taking the mandatory vaccination has lapsed. More than 2,000 of the city’s 11,000 uniformed firefighters have taken sick days in the week leading up to the mandate going into effect.
“New York City’s fire department is lagging behind its fellow city agencies on vaccinations, with the mayor confirming at a press conference that the fire department had the lowest vaccination rate of select city agencies, at 77 percent as of Monday.” (read more)
A twitter thread shared by Brad Geyer relays a letter presented by a jailed J6 detainee held inside the Washington DC Department of Corrections. [Twitter Link Here] The content of the letter written by a detainee named Nathan DeGrave is very disturbing. The allegations within the letter are alarming; however, they are supported by other detainees who have described similar conditions.
Dear fellow Americans:
I never thought I’d write a letter like this, but we’re living in very different times. This is my cry for help.
My name is Nathan DeGrave, and as a non violent participant at the Jan 6th rally, I’ve spent the last 9 months detained as a political prisoner in pod C2B at the DC Department of Corrections (DOC) otherwise known as DC’s Gitmo.
The conditions here for Jan 6ers have been inhumane. In fact, some inmates are even begging to be transferred to GUANTANAMO BAY, where even THEY have more acceptable standards.
Class action LAWSUITS are being filed against this prison; and even the ACLU has gotten involved. Senators Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene have since attempted to gain access to this facility and inspect the conditions of the jail, only to be denied. The vile filth of what has become our daily life is being illegally HIDDEN from the members of OUR OWN CONGRESS.
So let me tell you about what me and many of the other Jan 6ers have been experiencing in DC’s Gitmo. It is my hope that with MEDIA EXPOSURE and the awareness of the American public, that SOMETHING may be done and this never happens to anyone ever again.
At 1:00am on August 25th, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats came to an agreement on a massive spending proposal. The Senate previously passed a $1.5 trillion “infrastructure” bill, and a group of 9 House moderates -led by Josh Gottheimer- wanted to see it pass. However, the far-left progressive caucus wanted their $3.5 trillion social spending package which includes Green New Deal spending passed as part of the total budget agenda. {Go Deep} For the past two months, the House Democrats have been working with Senate Democrats on the scale of the social spending package.
The ultra far-left communists and Democrat socialists have been negotiating on the social spending part. They agreed to settle for 1.75 trillion in fundamental change and there’s approximately 10 House republicans that will also support it, but the AOC wing wants more. The previously passed $1.5 trillion sits on Nancy Pelosi’s desk until it can be paired with the $1.75+ trillion social spending component.
The House Rules Committee is putting the legislative language together for the latest 1,600 page social spending part [you can see here], but the issue of constructing a bill that will pass the Senate is still problematic. Pelosi was hoping for a vote today, and Joe Biden begged Democrats earlier to get it passed because his polling numbers continue to collapse. The communists (AOC/Bernie Sanders caucus) and socialists (ordinary Democrats) are at loggerheads.
WASHINGTON – […] Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team were ultimately unable to win over dozens of dug-in liberals in time for a Thursday evening vote. House liberals said they want to review the legislative text of $1.75 trillion social spending legislation the White House outlined Thursday and get a commitment of support from centrist Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) — something the two have not outright given.
The goal of the leftist group who organized and coordinated the sequence of events behind Frances Haugen is becoming increasingly obvious. Ms. Haugen first surfaced during a CBS 60-minutes episode where she promoted the idea that government needed to intervene in the Facebook censorship process because the content of speech was not being limited enough. Ms. Haugen advocated for government intervention to enhance Big Tech censorship.
48 hours later, Haugen was testifying before congress. That should have triggered all alarm bells that far-left political operatives were organizing an advanced censorship campaign to stop speech they deemed as detrimental to their interests. That speech consists of any speech that does not comply with the leftist world view. Shortly thereafter, it was discovered that Ms. Haugen is represented by the same legal group, and group of Lawfare lawyers, who supported Hillary Clinton.
It is clear the psychologically unstable uptalker, and those behind her, have an interest in having left-wing politicians intercede in global speech to advance their ideological interests. To further showcase this point, Ms. Haugen appeared today before the U.K. Parliament, again advocating that any speech against globalism and big government is considered extremist speech that much be blocked. WATCH:
.
In the periphery, you might notice that Barack Obama recently gave a speech in Virginia where he also talked about political opposition and “right-wing media” advocating for extremism and stirring up anger. This follows another highly visible data point where the DOJ has instructed the FBI to consider parents who confront school board policy as extremists.
Keep in mind, this testimony and angle of attack from the political operatives is coming at the same time the U.S. House of Representatives is using the January 6th Commission to advance the same proposition; that all speech against government is considered extremist and violent.
There’s no doubt all of these different approaches are part of the EXACT same coordinated effort. There is a larger narrative being advanced by the U.S-centered group of Chicago Marxists. Keep a look out for innocuous things that might look different when viewed through this baseline prism.
