Apparently the people behind Joe Biden realize the ridiculous prices at the gas pump are going to be a major political issue for them in the next election. As a result, they have decided to release 50 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR), enough for approximately 3 days of demand. [Announcement Here]

The strategic reserve is intended as an emergency supply in the event of war or national crisis that demands we have some insurance measures to protect ourselves. The SPR is the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil, and the oil stocks are stored in underground salt caverns at four storage sites in Texas and Louisiana.

The oil in the strategic oil reserve was previously paid for by taxpayers. What Biden is doing right now is giving reserve oil to energy companies who then turn around and refine it into gasoline for taxpayers to purchase. We get to buy it twice, and Biden wants to be thanked for doing it.

The Biden administration is going to lower gas prices for taxpayers by allowing taxpayers to purchase their own oil.  Brilliant!

In related news, the Biden administration also held a call today [LINK] to announce their plan to ease inflation by printing more money.

NBC ran an interesting segment on how to cope with the massive inflation and additional costs caused by Joe Biden.  Given the collapsing state of the U.S. economy, and crushing price increases for products created by White House policy, the administration previously suggested we should lower our expectations.

NBC takes the ‘lower expectations‘ theme to entirely new levels.  I’m not sure they thought through the meaning of Thanksgiving prior to the suggestions; however, Biden’s NBC stenographers have a few interesting recommendations.

The first suggestion is don’t buy the Thanksgiving day turkey, it’s too expensive.  The second odd suggestion to save money is do not invite friends of family to dinner.  WATCH:

The self-proclaimed black supremacist, who used his vehicle as a weapon to kill five people and injure 40 more, has his first court appearance scheduled for 2:00pm CT tomorrow (Tuesday November 23, 2021) [Details Here].

Suspect Darrell E. Brooks will have his preliminary hearing under the careful control of the U.S. Dept of Justice Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS) who oversee all U.S. criminal cases when race is identified as the underlying motive for an attack.

Due to the high visibility of the case; and specifically because the DOJ-CRS are the primary stakeholder in the judicial proceedings {Go Deep}; the Community Relations Service has provided a court order instructing the Waukesha judiciary how they must engage/control media access.  [Media Instructions Here]  The CRS provides the template and Chief Judge Jennifer Dorow signs the order.

The primary concern for the CRS, aka ‘federal peacekeepers‘ is control over the national media narrative.  The techniques behind the court order are familiar:

(Source pdf)

Long term CTH readers have familiarity with how the peacekeepers work to tamp down issues and control criminal cases that are adverse to the interests of the federal government.

Ironically, and purposefully, the claimed need for national racial cohesiveness is the statutory justification for federal control.  Ironic, because the DOJ-CRS support the use of race for political benefit, then the CRS claims to protect national unity against the outcome from using race for political benefit.  The propaganda is thick.  I digress…

FOX6 did a great outline of the prior criminal record of Mr. Darrell Edward Brooks in one of their broadcasts.  WATCH:

UPDATE:  Well, the presser is over and everything unfolded exactly as expected.  The “federal peacekeepers” are fully in control, and the playbook was once again fully displayed. Howie used to call the CRS the “tamp down committee,” and he’s right.  If you doubt the playbook, look at the predictions last night {GO DEEP} and this morning, and compare them to the outcome.

CRS activates the faith network. √ CRS hands out the scripts. √  Officials read the CRS talking points √… and the tamp down is executed.  Daniel Thompson was used exactly as predicted, and even the local officials said at the conclusion of the presser there would be “no further press conferences” to outline the ongoing investigation.  Everything is now in full ‘move along, move along… nothing to see here, folks,… move along‘ mode.   They need this to disappear fast, and so it will.

The decades-old peacekeeper playbook is entirely predictable.  The only good thing is that this event will open up more eyes to the federal control effort and the existence of the DOJ-CRS as a progressive federal agency to control public opinion. WATCH:

♦ Outlined Earlier – There are many new readers since we originally began highlighting the work of the DOJ Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS) over a decade ago.  The Christmas parade attack in Wisconsin is the worst case scenario for the federal officials who shape American racial views for political control.  What you are about to witness is the largest CRS propaganda push in recent memory.

Race is used as a political tool by those who control the levers of power in the U.S. government.  Victims and perpetrators are defined according to how the dividing narrative fits their effort for political value. The progressive group deep inside the CRS are also called “the federal peacekeepers“, because they organize the nuances within the division to protect the system from outcomes they essentially create.

The CRS watches, and in many ways facilitates, politicians and federal officials stirring up racial strife.  The CRS supports cultural Marxism. However, when the inevitable violence surfaces, the CRS must control the backlash.   [NOTE: The CRS only activates when the minority supported group attack the majority non-supported group.]

Holy smokes,this lady is impressive.  Virginia Lt. Governor-Elect Winsome Sears appears on CNN’s State of the Union show hosted by Dana Bash.

Dana Bash throws out several DNC leftist talking points in an effort to corner Winsome Sears, but the incoming Lieutenant Governor was having none of the nonsense. From the infrastructure bill, to Critical Race Theory, to COVID and vaccine propaganda, Ms. Winsome Sears just pummels the talking points of the political left.

When questioned about Virginia receiving benefits from the Biden infrastructure bill for broadband expansion, Sears points out the leftist infrastructure bill only permits money for broadband in Virginia regions with expanding immigrant populations, vis-a-vis illegal aliens.  The illegal alien residency is a requirement for the money, so how does that benefit Southwest Virginians?   Dana Bash is speechless.

When questioned about CRT in schools, Bash attempts the parseltongue framework that CRT is not “officially” in the curriculum.  Mrs Sears points out the specifics of where CRT does actually exist in the Democrat curriculum.  Dana Bash is uncomfortable, visibly uncomfortable, and speechless.

When questioned about COVID vaccinations for children, and the private personal vaccination status of Mrs. Sears herself, well, Winsome Sears just pummels the premise with facts, reason, science and the foundational block of liberty.  John King’s ex-wife shrinks.  Then comes the Rittenhouse mic drop at the end…  WATCH:

Plain talk…. heart talk…. strong talk…. Virginia has done very well with Winsome Sears.

Mrs. Sears is a communist Democrat’s worst nightmare.  The political left must be extremely fearful of this woman.

A good article outlining why Kyle Rittenhouse was considered a specifically purposeful target for the regime is written at Powerline Blog by Paul Mirengoff [SEE HERE].

What the author essentially describes is something CTH readers have witnessed for over a decade, we called it “The Safari Principle” narrative; and it surfaced in its most modern form during the George Zimmerman case.

In essence, the underlying elements of the Safari Principle narrative begin with a pretense that victims of the mob, any mob or individual predator, have no one except themselves to blame because they did not follow the rules of the safari.  When in the proximity of any person, event or situation that is engaged in an unlawful act supported by the political left, you are not permitted to exit your vehicle or engage in activity that will lead to your targeting.

If you enter their “space to destroy“, you are to blame for your own outcome.  The safari narrative includes catch phrases like “he should not have gotten out of the car,” and “he shouldn’t have traveled to Kenosha,” all based on the same principle.

(Powerline) […] The Rittenhouse prosecution and the demonization of him by the left (including the left-wing media) stems from a simple premise. Leftists, including Antifa and BLM, have the right to take to the street causing chaos and property damage, and when they do, those who disagree with them must stand aside while leftists run riot. If they don’t stand aside, they have no right to defend themselves against members of the mob who come after them — even if someone points a gun at them (as Grosskreutz did). (read more)

The first advocacy for the modern “Safari Principle” surfaced prior to the George Zimmerman trial, in the summer of 2012, when the professionally aggrieved first began the narrative: “He shouldn’t have gotten out of his car”.

Historically, we used to blame the victim by saying he/she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, politically it became too difficult to define where the wrong places were, and simultaneously legislators continued to struggle defining the right vs. wrong times law abiding people were allowed to be in these places.

Historically, the political media were skilled at excusing transparently guilty.  However, in the aftermath of the Obama paradigm shift, where the media began accusing the transparently innocent, a more specific rule was needed.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson will be interviewing Kyle Rittenhouse as part of his Tucker Carlson Originals documentary series.  The interview will be broadcast Monday, November 22nd, at 8:00pm ET.

In addition to the interview, there will be a short documentary series as the Tucker Carlson producers have been on the ground with the defense team organizing footage for the program.  Mr. Carlson provided a preview today.  WATCH:

This is a little more interesting than Biden’s off-the-cuff remarks, because Kamala Harris was hand selected in the agreement between Barack Obama and James Clyburn to represent the public face of the professional political grievance industry.   In essence, activist agitation is the primary reason why team Obama put Kamala Harris into the office of the executive.   In the Rittenhouse aftermath, we see that Kamala purpose with a little more clarity.

In this video Kamala doesn’t wait to be asked, she rushes purposefully to the microphones and then instructs them on the purpose.  Its’ a rather telling moment in the background of why Kamala Harris was put into place. [27 seconds, WATCH]:

…”Hey guys, well it was a good trip and um, I know you have questions about the verdict; and the verdict really speaks for itself.  As many of you know I’ve spent a majority of my career working to make the criminal justice system more equitable, and clearly there’s a lot more work to do.”…

The fraudulently installed White House occupant had his physical today on the eve of his 80th birthday.   Upon returning from Walter Reed hospital, Biden was asked for his response to the Rittenhouse verdict and whether he stood by his previous incendiary remarks labeling Kyle Rittenhouse as a “white supremacist.”

The state media stenographers choose their words carefully so as not to confuse the mental acuity of the Oval Office resident.  In response the semi-coherent front man for the most condescending, vile, inept and ideological network of communists said:

“I just heard a moment ago. I didn’t watch the trial, so I ya know” … “Well look, I stand by what the jury has concluded. The jury system works and we have to abide by it”… WATCH:

Never forget that the first thing Big Tech (writ large) did following the 2020 election was to modify all platform ‘terms of service’ with a new rule saying that any speech questioning the legitimacy of the election was akin to undermining the principles of democracy.  They knew the scam they had executed with fraudulent mail-in ballots and manipulated election results in several key counties.

Never doubt that in the background of everything happening in/around the world of politics, the entire apparatus who work in the political industry know that Joe Biden was a fraudulently elected President.  They won’t admit it, they will deny it, they will even pretend not to know it; however, at the end of the day they do know what happened, and they know their participation.  As a result, they know exactly what “Let’s Go Brandon“, and “F**k Joe Biden” are all about.

The New York judge, Charles D. Wood, in the case of Project Veritas -vs- New York Times, has ordered the newspaper to explain how they obtained access to the legal correspondence between James O’Keefe and his attorneys.  [Source Harmeet Dhillon]

The FBI raided James O’Keefe’s apartment, seized his cell phone and other devices, and then days later the New York Times was publishing privileged legal information which appears to have been obtained from FBI leaks.  The judge in the case is ordering the New York Times to defend its position before he grants the requests of O’Keefe’s legal team.
