The Morning Report — 6//25/24

Morning Report intro.jpg

Good Morning Kids. So the Sponge-brain Shits-Pants Junta has struck a deal with Julian Assange who engineered one of the largest breaches of US governmental secrets in history. From nearly two hundred years behind bars to five and change. And since the deal allows the time he served in a UK prison as time served he'll essentially skate.

You've got to believe he has info floating around that would prove quite embarrassing to quite a few operatives not only in the Biden crime family, but in Kalorama as well as the Deep State intel mandarins that took down Trump in 2020.


And speaking of the Deep State, we have this unsurprising if not disgusting revelation about Paul Ryan:

The issue is important because Ryan knew the partisan origins of the Steele dossier and chose to not reveal that to the investigators. He prefered that the investigators get caught up in the document and in his mind, hopefully come up with the conclusion that the sleazy allegations were true, and not Russian drunkard stuff which is apparently how the invented trash got put together.

He had the smoking gun proof that the Steele Dossier was total garbage and yet he sat on it and allowed Trump to be crucified and put the nation through hell as a result.

And here we are suffering the repercussions of a failed coup and then a successful one. And here comes 2024.


In the early 13th century, amid an upsurge of religious dissent, Pope Innocent III launched a campaign to eliminate a heretical sect in southern France known as the Cathars or Albigensians (after the town of Albi). To put an end to the challenge to his authority, the pontiff enlisted the military aid of an expansionist dynasty of French monarchs, the Capetians, who were eager to bring the restive border region of Languedoc under their control. As many as a million people died in the resulting bloodbath. In the siege of the Cathar stronghold of Beziers in 1209, papal legate Arnaud Amalric famously instructed the mob of soldiers and irregulars under his command: “Kill them all, God will know his own.” And so they did. Amalric’s subsequent account of the sack of Beziers reads: “Our men spared no one, irrespective of rank, sex, or age, and put to the sword almost 20,000 people.” 
Over the course of half a century, Catharism collapsed, first gradually, then suddenly. A few decades later, almost nothing of this once-vibrant culture remained. Catharism became a memory; as a living idea, it had ceased to exist. 
A common refrain regarding Israel’s war in Gaza—echoed most recently by the IDF’s spokesman, Adm. Daniel Hagari—is that the Jewish state’s objectives are unrealistic, because “you can’t kill an idea.” Hamas’s brand of Islamism, critics of the war insist, can only be effectively combated from within, through cultural change within Palestinian society. It can’t be defeated by foreign or non-Muslim forces. But history shows the opposite: Ideas have often been extinguished. Some died natural deaths; many were suppressed by rivals. Others, like Catharism, were violently eradicated. Outsiders have often eliminated ideas, sometimes along with the civilizations that nourished them, as with the destruction of many indigenous societies in the Americas in the wake of European conquest. 


Well there it is. It's not about wiping out Hamas or the "idea" of Hamas. It's about wiping out Islam itself, which has spilled oceans of blood in a nearly 2,000 year quest to conquer the world.
