Thank you for putting all the “disinformation” right here for your readers to understand and distribute to those people who are still confused. Add to that disinformation was the “Laptop from Hell” by Miranda Devine. And “J6” by Julie Kelly and “Rigged” by Mollie Hemingway.

...and "NO way it was a lab leak."

The Democrats favourite tool is smear and the Republicans favourite response is to point it out and do nothing about it!

In the last 12 months, it has become painfully obvious to many that both sides are working for the same special interests and politicians have been praising this group publicly in exchange for their AIPAC payout!

Pointless talking about the fires in our failed society without exposing the arsonists.

The left-right paradigm has long since been hijacked and used to sow the seeds of animosity and division through identity politics. The corruption is so rampant that Americans have long been justified in acting upon the Second Amendment, as the scenario we have been living through for the past 25 years is exactly why the Founding Fathers created it.

We need to rise up, expose the arsonists, overthrow, and revamp the entire system. Any deviation from this simply means we watch our grandchildren suffer horrifically for our cowardice and willful ignorance. There is no compromise.

They will never let us vote our way out of these problems.

Hear ye! Hear ye! A voice with insight.

We, as individuals, are not the problem. GOP, Dem, they want us divided and managable. Leake doesn't seem able to discern that. Too busy showing off the books he read as an undergraduate.

Gee, I appreciate Mr. Leake's sharing, I don't believe he is doing it from a place of egotism.

If you politicize the problems and fail to recognize it is the system at fault, the analysis is shallow and unhelpful. I find his openings about some learned text he's read irrelevant. I don't come here for babble about some text. I don't care to hear babble from someone I don't regard as an expert on the subject.

John is a fiction writer. He is not a political analyst by trade. He wrote a book with Dr. McCullough on the takeover by pharma catalyzed by a GOF virus lab leak. I enjoy his articles independent of the subject matter of their book. They are his opinions, and he doesn't pose as a political 'expert.' He presents as a conversationalist who enjoys discussing a broad range of current issues, much as people do in a pub. It's fun even if the speakers holding court don't have a Ph.D. on the respective subjects. Those with deeper knowledge can comment back and forth, and there is no paywall to do so.

Culture is not an optional and it is not an objective it cannot be a result because culture is by definition what contradicts every result, it can only be a becoming, but you end up knowing nothing, always.

Socrates had this antibody against easy representations, he had developed it a lot, precisely not knowing anything.

After so many years that I see this politics all over the world increasingly "low" or with minimums that I perceive increasingly lower, equally often a solution of yours comes to mind, which unfortunately seems little known to me, Socrates proposed to develop democracy through a stratagem, and therefore at a certain degree of the choice of candidates he proposed the introduction of an indeterminacy, the introduction of the "chance", making sure that among those elected (so to speak, in the first round) lots were drawn precisely on the public offices to be assigned.

I don't know exactly (I'm not very cultured) but others more cultured than me tell me that this method was adopted for only one year and then never again, and yet Socrates was influential...

I thought about it and each time I am more and more convinced that he had found a very good solution both to prevent power from consolidating too much and becoming self-referential, and to increase the awareness of those who voted in the elections, in fact since those who voted would have known in advance that in the end it was chance that elected the leaders, gradually those who voted would have avoided electing incompetents more and more.

I am divorced from the legacy media, John.

It is only deceit for power, not principle. It belongs in Hell.

I was bounced from LinkedIn years ago for posting Peter's early treatment protocols.

That's when I hung up the phone with legacy media, lap dog propaganda Pavlovian barnyard for DEI post 🐢's and the DNC.

Yes and... The true division is the elite globalists vs all the rest of us. The democratic party has been captured by the globalists.

The title of this piece pits true democrats vs republicans and misdirects are alliances.

Exactly, globalism via surveillance, digital currency, censorship, WEF/WHO/UN/GATES is the greatest threat we face now.

The propaganda news media is responsible for everything we’re going through right now. The Radical L/R were used to being able to tell whatever lies they wanted and know they could get away with it. They do to some degree, but I think the plan to expose them for what they really are is working, never so much as in this period in time. I’ve never heard so many lies in my life, and what kills me is I know a lot of people on the Far L know it, but they’re just as bad as the people they vote for. They’ll take the steal as long as they get their way.

The closer we get to Nov. 5, the more anxious I get. I really get emotional when I see videos like the one you posted, but this is it. This period of time in our history will prove that Americans should never be taken for granted and won’t give up their country so easily.

By the way, thank you both for fighting the good fight. It’s brave people like you that give us hope to carry on. We couldn’t do it without you and without POTUS45.

“Out of every 100 men, 10 shouldn’t even be there. 80 are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.” Heraclitus.

Love the Heraclitus quote. Similar to "10 80 10", in any tough situation (imagine a plane wobbling in flight) the top 10% lead, the middle 80% follow, and the bottom 10% panic and freak and make it all worse. Trump is in the top 10%, he is Heraclitus' one warrior, and no matter how many people scream and yell and show their TDS, Trump is the wrecking ball that has and will take on the 3 letter deep state and Dem elites and Legacy media with the best possible chances in this moment, right now, of helping America find its way. Rampant illegal immigration alone should help everyone see just how bad the other side has been and is to our great country.

In March of 2020, I was interviewed by Bloomberg News and discussed in detail with the duplicitous reporter how I recovered from SARS 1 --- Olive leaf extract, oregano and a lot of garlic - Vit D, Vit C and zinc. The piece was making fun of those that thought something other than a vaccine would get us out of trouble. She did quote me correctly, "Do not fear the virus, fear the CDC as they have been compromised."

As if there is a difference between republicans and democrats. Trump claims his vaccines saved hundreds of millions of lives.

Meanwhile, in Canada.

Love him or hate him, you’ve got to give Justin Trudeau credit. He is the political equivalent of a cockroach. You can spray him with invective, stomp on him with slogans, drown him in bad polls, and still he scuttles along, fighting to survive. And not only survive, but attack, accusing his opponents of the greatest sin in politics: being traitors to their country.

End of September, the Biden;s DOD issued a directive authorizing the US military to kill US citizens on US soil. Now the mainstream news media and Kamala Harris are accusing Donald Trump of wanting to use the military against Americans for their political beliefs based on taking his answer to Maria Bartiromo's question about how he would handle massive violence resulting from his election out of context. Deflection by projection.

Let’s make sure they know who the Trump supporters are : They’re all dressed alike, color -coordinated, wearing masks, and they may all look like F-B-I agents, but they’re not, and they’ll be chanting USA or something like that while they’re marching.

Excellent and insightful as usual. I only have a not-so-minor quibble with the closing that the left engages in "projection" to accuse others of what it does. I think that frame is common, and inaccurate.

The real practice, I think, is closer to "deflection" or "defensive neutralization" (to coin such a term): to accuse your "enemy" of that which are doing so as to neutralize the issue in the public discourse. Hillary selling US Uranium to Roseatom, colluding with Russians to smear her political rival? Make sure the smear is about "Russia" so (Hillary hopes) no one wants to talk about "Russians" etc.

The same with Kamala /Walz coining the "weird" campaign against JD Vance. Doubtless having gotten focus group feedback that Kamala's shifting accents and Walz' s whole persona come across as profoundly weird to normal Americans, they launched their "weird" op in hopes to make the term toxic to both / take that powerful term out of the debate. All very intentional IMO.
