The Morning Report - 12/21/21

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and the dicotyledon formerly known as Joe Biden is evidently going to be propped up in front of the TV cameras a la John Gill with a crystal meth drip to give a speech tonight regarding what his handlers have planned in dealing with the current iteration of the Peking Pulmonary Pox otherwise known as Chinese COVID.

"For the unvaccinated, you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm," White House [Chinese] Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeff Zients recently attempted to explain. "So, our message to every American is clear. . .

Surrender your lives, your children, your property and your freedom to us or "it gets the hose." "It" of course meaning all of us. The word here, of course, is fear. This Jeff Zients, which I think is supposed to rhyme with "science," is a pathetic milksop of a toady but his words, no doubt coming from the highest echelons of the Klain/Kalorama Klown Komintern, are chilling nonetheless.

This illegitimate junta is sending a message every bit as dangerous as the one that resulted in the torching of scores of American cities in the spring and summer of 2020, and that also caused a van to become self aware and mow down Christmas parade-goers in Waukesha, among other incidents that the media is complicit in weaponizing against us. Yes, gentle reader, if someone gets sick and dies - for whatever cause since this virus that came from China by way of Anthony Fauci and his merry band of Mengele mavens - you killed him by refusing to be vaccinated, wearing a diaper on your face or for the mildest of objections to anything declared as emmes truth by the Left.

This will never end. The more everything this junta does that ends in absolute disaster and catastrophe, the more it will resort to keeping America chained to the radiator in a basement in a desperate bid to hold on to power. Look what happened almost immediately after it became clear that this Build Bolshevism Biggerer poison was torpedoed by Joe Manchin.

The letters, sent to FAA Administrator Steve Dickson and CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, were signed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, along with Reps. Eric Swalwell of California, Donald Beyer of Virginia and Richie Torres of New York. The lawmakers cited the recent emergence of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus as justification for the request.

"Travel at our nation's airports has essentially returned to pre-pandemic levels but the risk from [Chinese] COVID-19, including from its new variant Omicron, continues to present a major public health threat," the lawmakers wrote. "Requiring proof of vaccination or a negative test for domestic flights would improve public health and address concerns that passengers have about flying."

Make the rubble that is the American economy bounce? What a great idea! All because of a Chinese-originated virus, like every other respiratory virus since Lucy traipsed the Olduvai Gorge searching for Moonwatcher and his bone, dangerous to only the most vulnerable among us and now with variants that are essentially as deadly as the common cold. The sad, bitter irony is that this insanity is from a truly lethal strain of disease that came straight out of Red China: Feinstein and Swalwell, both of whom have acted as paid agents of fortune for Chi-Coms for years, and in Feinstein's (and her husband's) case, decades.

But fear of course is a two-way street. They want all of us to be afraid because they in fact are deathly afraid of us. Primarily, because we have the power (in theory) to strip them of theirs come the elections. Forget the GOP. They are as useless as tits on a transexual. With the exception of the hardcore dead-ender base, Democrats are joining an ever-growing chorus of "Let's Go Brandon!" and fleeing the party. It's too bad the GOP has neither the ability nor sadly the desire to offer them a real alternative. That of course would be Trump and America first Trumpism.

Psaki-Psircling back, as I stated, any rejection of the globalist plan to dominate the world by destroying America as founded and serving up post-Magna Carta/Scottish Enlightenment/small "r" republican/Judeo-Christian western civilization to a small band of tyrannical "benevolent" dictators is blasphemy. Or, in practical terms, treason. Literally.

Democrats claim that democracy is under attack in America and Democrats must act decisively to protect it. They've been trying to end the filibuster, nationalize voting, and pack the Supreme Court. The most ominous "fix," which hinges on the myth of a "January 6 Insurrection," sees retired generals argue that the military must purge the ranks of Trump supporters and prepare for a military coup to block a future contested election. This is unconstitutional, illegal, and spells the end of American democracy. . .

. . . Three retired officers have signaled that they want to purge the military of Trump supporters, and then plan a takeover of the military and related federal agencies that coordinate with the military to effect a coup in 2024. Considering the current state of the Pentagon, this may be more than a progressive fantasy.

Thirty years ago, when I was a U.S. Army Infantry Officer, our military was unquestionably a politically neutral, colorblind institution. It was the single most well-integrated institution in our nation and, indeed, was the primary engine integrating our nation. But progressives have done everything they can to turn the military into a dysfunctional machine warped by racial, sexual, and gender identity divisions. This began with Obama, who injected the toxic myth of white supremacy and the tenets of critical race theory. . .

. . . Obama also purged the military of any flag rank officer not reliably progressive, a process Andrea Widburg document at her blog and at American Thinker (here and here). Those who remain today are nothing but progressive race hustlers, such as the odious Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, or traitorous politicians in uniform, such as General Mark "white rage" Milley . . .

.Enter now three retired U.S. Army Generals: Major Generals Paul D. Eaton and Antonio M. Taguba and Brigadier General Steven M. Anderson ("the Three"). In a Washington Post opinion piece, "3 retired generals: The military must prepare now for a 2024 insurrection," they contend that events in 2020 revealed an incipient military coup and that, to save our nation, the U.S. military must act preemptively -- radically and unilaterally. What they write should frighten every American.

The Three assert that those unarmed Americans who, on January 6, did nothing more than quite innocently enter Congress, walk around, and then leave voluntarily, were all insurrectionists. They spout this deadly canard although no one arrested has been charged with 18 U.S.C. #8239;2381 (Treason), #8239;2383 (Rebellion or insurrection), 2384 (Seditious conspiracy), or 2385 (Advocating overthrow of Government). The Three stick to their risible narrative because only through lies can they scare people enough to accept their unconstitutional and illegal recommendations that, if accepted, will put the final nail in our national coffin. . .

. . . the Three utter a sentence I never expected to come out of the mouths of our military leadership: "[T]he military cannot wait for elected officials to act...."

That's a stunning statement from anyone who understands our military history and our Constitution. The single most basic rule of our military is that it is wholly and completely under civilian control. So, what would the Three have the military do unilaterally? . . .

. . . The Posse Comitatus Act, 18 U.S. Code 1385, prevents the military from acting as a police force within the U.S. under all but the most limited of circumstances. If the Defense Department is unilaterally planning to take over "any agency that works hand in hand with the military" to ensure progressives remain in power if the next election is contested, then our modern military will have recast itself in the mold of a Third World military junta.

Assuming that Dao-Min Yen will not be a factor in both '22 and '24 - and as we all know, all things considered, that's not guaranteed - more and more people are absolutely disgusted at what they have been through these past 11 months. And there are 36 more to go. If the Dems are indeed wiped out in one or both of these elections, will Vanilli Milley make a move? I cannot imagine the reaction of the public should the Republicans trounce the Dems, regardless of who is at the top of the ticket, and the military rolls out the tanks and arrests the president-elect and the entire GOP. Especially if Trump is the nominee.

Hell, given the fear porn over Omigod Omicron, it's surprising the junta hasn't called out the military yet to force people to get vaccinated. In any case, as the elections get closer and closer and America disintegrates even faster, the potential for these defilers of the uniform to round up the usual suspects - that is, you and me - grows exponentially. Dangerous times.
