The Morning Report — 2/3/23

Good morning kids. Considering we're living in a world where pedophiles in drag are allowed (way too weak a word) to read stories to toddlers and encourage them to "lick us where we pee," and where five black cops beat a black suspect to death in a city with a 60-plus % black populace, a black mayor and black police commissioner is an example of systemic white supremacy, does the fact that a Red Chinese military balloon being parked over Montana and that our military has not Hindenburg'ed the shit out of it, let alone allowed it to come within a thousand miles of our coast in the first place, surprise you? Meh, that's a nothing-burger I guess. But still, what the actual fuck is going on here? Meh, don't answer that.

“The United States government has detected and is tracking a high-altitude surveillance balloon that is over the continental United States right now,” Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told NBC News. “We continue to track and monitor it closely.” Officials have confirmed that the balloon belongs to China.

“Once the balloon was detected, the U.S. government acted immediately to protect against the collection of sensitive information,” Ryder said.

“The official said there was a window while the balloon was over Montana Wednesday when they could have taken it down. NORAD sent aircraft — including F-22 Raptors from Nellis Air Force Base and airborne early warning aircraft known as AWACs — but the official would not say whether one of the options was to shoot the balloon out of the sky with a U.S. aircraft,” NBC reported. “The U.S. military flights prompted a ground stop at the airport in Billings, with air traffic controllers citing a ‘special military mission.'”

According to the Montana Free Press, “The Air Force at Malmstrom [Air Force Base] maintains 150 intercontinental ballistic missile silos across its 13,800-square-mile complex in central Montana.”

Biden refused to answer questions shouted at him by reporters Thursday afternoon.

Officials say the balloon flew over the Aleutian Islands and through Canada before settling over the Billings, Mont., area. The balloon is still hovering somewhere over the United States, according to a senior defense official who declined to say where it is now. . .

. . . “Currently we assess that this balloon has limited additive value from an intelligence collection perspective over and above what the PRC can do through other means,” the official said. “Nevertheless we are taking all necessary steps to protect against foreign intelligence collection of sensitive information.”

I can't even. I. CAN'T. EVEN.

But let's put NATO, meaning American, boots on the ground in Ukraine and trigger a nuclear exchange with Putin because we need to make the world safe for democracy and the continued graft of the Bidens, Kerrys, Pelosis, Romneys and the military industrial complex but mostly the continued graft of the Bidens, Kerrys, Pelosis, Romneys and the military industrial complex. And this time, a few thousand GIs coming home in a box over the course of years will be avoided. Mostly because they'll be vaporized by a battlefield nuke somewhere on the outskirts of Kiev. If we're lucky that's the extent and not an MRBM or ICBM. Ironically enough, Babi Yar is on the outskirts of Kiev. But I digress.

Again, how in a sane world is this allowed to happen? Meh, I think I just answered my own question, so I'll set my electric oven to broil and stick my head in it.

If I were a betting man, I'd say the answer is somewhere in a garage in Delaware in a box next to a vintage Corvette. Or on a laptop once owned by a renowned artist (of the bullshit variety), or in a dusty drawer at a University of Pennsylvania "think tank" that just happens to be funded by a gaggle (pronounced "gaggre" in Cantonese) of respectable Chinese businessmen to the tune of millions.

But that's crazy talk, right? If you want to know how a Red Chinese spy balloon gets to float totally unmolested over a SAC missile silo in Montana, then what Hakeem-puck Jeffries, the heir apparent to the Pelosi giant clown gavel – Nancy's, not Paul's – had to say might give you a clue:

Cuban-American Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) introduced the anti-Socialism resolution, a symbolic move that declares the country “founded on the belief in the sanctity of the individual, to which the collectivistic system of socialism in all of its forms is fundamentally and necessarily opposed.”

“Whereas socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has time and time again collapsed into Communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and brutal dictatorships,” the resolution states.

However, Jeffries argued the anti-socialism resolution would “undermine” House Democrats’ agenda. Jeffries said:

They’re bringing to the floor of the House of Representatives today a resolution on socialism, to condemn some dictators that we all condemn. But understand the goal of this phony, fake, and fraudulent resolution is just to somehow provide cover for extreme MAGA Republicans to try to undermine an agenda that is designed to lift up the health, safety, and well-being of the American people. . .

. . . The resolution ultimately passed in a bipartisan fashion, with 328 voting in favor and 86 voting against it. House Republicans unanimously supported the bill, along with 126 House Democrats.

Interestingly, Jeffries and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) voted in favor of the resolution.

I guess I should say thank you to Rep. Salazar for the resolution, but what does it really mean? The cancer of socialism has, as Lincoln warned us as far back as 1838 all but eaten us to the bone. The very tyranny she, Salazar, warns us against, which this doppelgänger for Cory Booker's undescended testicle in ham-fisted fashion tried to defend while at the same time projecting its evils on its victims – that being us – is right here. Look at Jeffries.

Look at the antics of Titty-Caca AOC, Bro-Fo Omar. Hell, Bernie Sanders a bust-out open Communist who Vermont elected Senator multiple times already. Or maybe worse, someone like John Brennan, who somehow not only was allowed to join the CIA but rose steadily to gain the top slot in the corporation. Worst of all, are the feckless, useless and perhaps conspiratorial members of Salazar's own party who have taken a decades-long dive and a payoff from these traitors-cum-Democrats as they've overthrown the nation.

Not good, my friends. Not good at all.

America may soon face one of two kinds of left-wing authoritarianism. One is the soft despotism of liberal technocracy. This authoritarianism wouldn’t overthrow the present structures of our society or upend the economy. In fact, it would have the support of the regime’s major institutions. It would seriously curb civil liberties, such as free speech and gun rights, and feel much less democratic. More people would be arrested over memes, but much would remain the same. Political life in America would look more like contemporary Western Europe.

The other is a radical populism in the mold of Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan socialist who turned his resource-rich South American nation into a hellhole. This authoritarianism would threaten America’s institutions and overthrow the economic order. It would not be supported by the powers that be and would crush civil liberties to enact massive wealth redistribution programs. 

Unlike liberal technocracy, where the guiding principle is that “experts” should be in charge, this radical populism would be motivated largely by race resentment. The desire for revenge against “white supremacy” would inspire a movement to destroy the old America. . .

. . . Venezuelan Chavism was originally anti-white. Chavez vowed to end the dominance of Venezuela’s white castizo elite and distributed their wealth to the nation’s indios, blacks, and mestizos. Chavez and his successor Nicolas Maduro made good on that promise, turning Venezuela into a tyrannical dump. Former Bolivian President Evo Morales followed this example, promising to empower the nation’s downtrodden indios at white expense. Moderate forms of this racial socialism can also be found in Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Peru. Left-wing populists throughout Latin America know that racial resentment is a potent political weapon.

An American version of this movement won’t be exclusively nonwhite. It will have plenty of white “allies.” Some will join due to their own nihilistic hatred for whites, parents, or surroundings. Others will join for the promises of more welfare and entitlements. Left-wing whites are not scared off by anti-white hatred; they often agree with it and amplify it.

We already saw this “mutliracial” anti-whiteness during the riots of 2020. Many whites joined in the destruction. In some places, like Portland, whites were the majority of rioters, even though the cause was a revolt against “white supremacy” on behalf of black lives. There are enough white Americans stupid enough to back Chavism here. . .

. . . The only possible upside is that American Chavism would make the middle class more receptive to the real Right. When threatened by a radical Left that’s openly anti-white, the white middle class will realize that multicultural America is not a utopia. Threats to livelihood are more powerful than any other form of political persuasion. Americans accept the excesses of wokeness because it doesn’t threaten their livelihoods. Transgender ads and a new Wakanda movie do not threaten someone’s house or job. Chavism would.

Chavism promises the realization of multicultural America. It would reject everything great about the old America and turn our nation into a giant favela. Mass immigration and the popularization of anti-whiteness make that future more likely. We can only reject it by restricting immigration and ending anti-white racism for good.

Despite his star supposedly being on the rise, Hakeem Jeffries is too stupid, I think, to fit the bill. What the Left needs is another Obama. And I don't mean the Wookie, either. It might be Maryland governor Wes Moore, who as Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants might describe him as "clean, articulate and can speak jive when he wants to."

Don't let his service as a captain in the paratroops fool you. George McGovern flew 35 missions over Italy in the pilot's seat of a B-24, yet politically he was red, white and blue – minus the white and blue.

Of course, Wes Moore too would be just a figurehead. I think it's obvious that whoever is the standard-bearer for the Dems in '24 is going to be hand-picked by a committee from Langley and the Hoover Building. They run this show. How else is a Chi-Com balloon allowed to drift over he skies of Montana unmolested?

Psaki-psircling back to Lincoln, I will leave you with this excerpt from his 1838 Speech to the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois:

I know the American People are much attached to their Government;--I know they would suffer much for its sake;--I know they would endure evils long and patiently, before they would ever think of exchanging it for another. Yet, notwithstanding all this, if the laws be continually despised and disregarded, if their rights to be secure in their persons and property, are held by no better tenure than the caprice of a mob, the alienation of their affections from the Government is the natural consequence; and to that, sooner or later, it must come.

Here then, is one point at which danger may be expected.

The question recurs, "how shall we fortify against it?" The answer is simple. Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor;--let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the character of his own, and his children's liberty. Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap--let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs;--let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues, and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.

While ever a state of feeling, such as this, shall universally, or even, very generally prevail throughout the nation, vain will be every effort, and fruitless every attempt, to subvert our national freedom.

We have not fortified against it, as everything we have seen these past years and even decades can attest to. Just the opposite of what Lincoln implored us has in fact occurred, and the obvious result is the subversion of our freedom. Hence, my emphasis of that first paragraph.

The fact that there's a Communist moon over Montana is because there are Communist loons controlling our government and society.
