The back story
Our southern border has been a world class circle jerk for a long time. It was made a lot more so by B. Hussein and his “Fast and Furious” insanity, and the incentives he provided the diseased, unvetted illegals to come here.
For those who think history started when they woke up this morning, Fast and Furious isn’t just the name of a series of empty-calorie action films. It was also the name of an operation initiated by Obama to support a false narrative at the beginning of his presidency.
Near the end of his campaign, and during the transition, the Obama cabal was touting the story that guns in American were so prolific that even the cartels in Mexico were buying them, that we were creating crime here and around the WORLD! Obama’s media fluffers immediately parroted the story and it became the propaganda de jour for a few weeks.
It was, of course, not true. At least not in any meaningful way. The fact is weapons manufactured in the Czech Republic or the Philippines are just as good, easy to acquire and CHEAP. Those were the arms suppliers of choice for the scumbag, Mexican cartels.
With the narrative slipping away, and desperate to create a problem to solve, the Obama administration, through the DOJ, set up a scam through which guns would be purchased from legitimate gun dealers. The dealers were told this was a hush-hush operation and they were assisting in the fight against crime. In truth, they were unwittingly assisting the commission of several crimes perpetrated by Obama, Eric Holder and the FBI.
The ”administration” then recorded the serial numbers of the weapons and allowed to guns to “walk” into Mexico. Just turned them loose on innocent Mexicans and waited for the inevitable – when one would be found at a crime scene. Then Barry O could say, “See? Our guns are being used by Mexican gangs! We need more gun control!”
Then one of Obama’s guns was used to kill and American Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry. When investigators traced the serial number of one weapon found on the scene, it led them to one of the shops Obama/Holder bought it from. Law enforcement descended upon the gun shop. But no one informed the left hand about what the right hand had already done. The gun dealer was arrested and immediately blew the lid off the criminal conspiracy cooked up by YOUR government.
The coverup commenced immediately. Eric Holder committed the additional crime of contempt of Congress over a period of years, as Congress tried to investigate the mess. So, after getting one of his agents killed in a conspiracy he hatched with Barry O, and thumbing his nose at YOU, Holder went on to be an overpaid corporate lawyer and elder statesman. Barry got away without a scratch. That’s because our media is as corrupt as the permanent governing class they serve, and Barry O especially.
So a precedent was set. The border is now a political tool. Who gives a shit how many people are killed, on either side of the border. The government, especially the Left, had a new and growing plaything!
Trump, through executive orders, Covid restrictions and whatever shitty legislation Congress passed, did throttle back a lot of the sewage on the border. But that didn’t last.
On the first day of his “presidency” (Obama’s third term), Joe Duh threw open the border to illegals and drugs. It was an intentionally criminal act. It was done to sew chaos, get American killed by the tens of thousands1. and bolster voter roles, BY THE MILLION, at the same time.2
Now, I told you all that to tell you this.
We like to think our government is above a certain level of mass criminality. But now we know they ARE NOT. Especially at the border. There is word seeping out that surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) have been smuggled across the southern border, such as it is. There could be as many as nine that have come in. At first, I took a pass on the story thinking it a bit odd.
Today I listened to two people outline the whistle-blower reports in such a way as to believe them – or at least give them strong credence. According to sources, the target of these missiles is Donald Trump’s plane.
And it’s not just the way these people lay out the plot that has me leaning their way. It is the fact that there have been three attempts on DJT’d life already.3
The third aspect of this that puts my antennae up is the contention that you can’t pull off a job like this, with objects this big, without inside help. Look at the fiasco in Butler, PA. For months after, many people including me and my co-host, Ron Cori, have been talking about all the things that went wrong that day. We questioned if there were inside people facilitating the assassination attempt or if they were just monumental fuck-ups.
All the things we railed about got us ALL labeled “conspiracy theorists”. And then the oversight report came out on the subject. And we were correct, right down the line. So, my next questions about Butler become these: Now that ALL the conspiracy theories have been proven true about individual events of the day, are we now to believe that the Secret Service is just the single most incompetent group of assholes in US history? Or does the number of “mistakes” make the idea of an inside job more viable?
If the latter is the case, why would smuggling SAMs across the border to kill a political opponent be even a minor stretch?
We’ll be following this story as it grows. In the meantime here’s a button to the conversation I watched on Sunday.
Slouching toward societal breakdown.
My friend and loyal subscriber, Linda came to me the other day. She is increasingly upset with the quality of our government, politics, and society. We were discussing how vapid and meaningless most of what we see, hear and read is; how stupid the media has become.
“How did we get here?” she asked. She looked as if she could cry. But she wasn’t just expressing exasperation. She repeated the question and asked if I knew? Over dinner I gave her my best answer.
I’ll address the question here with a primer excerpted from my book. Then I’ll follow up with some additional comments.
From Street Politics: It Ain’t Your Daddy’s GOP Anymore by Matt Jordan
I hear people say our laptops and cell phones have destroyed our ability to communicate. And those things have done some serious damage. But the problem goes back much further. To see the genesis of the problem, you need to look at the two previous centuries side by side.
Nearly everyone has seen the documentary series The Civil War by Ken Burns. This was a masterful project based in part on The Civil War – A Narrative by Selby Foote, a historical epic. Throughout the series you hear quoted several letters written by soldiers, from Corporal to General, including the shattering love letter written by Sullivan Ballou to his wife, Sarah, the week before he died. To this very minute I can barely think of that letter without nearing tears. And I’m a cynical bastard.
It can be said about all these correspondents, that they made a clear effort to communicate. At the end of their letters, you knew their hearts and you knew their minds. I flatter myself to think I might convey a message half as well as they did.
Foote, himself, exemplifies this rich and sincere communication. The epitome of a southern gentleman, he speaks in a quiet, unassuming tone. But his words carry luster. You could sit in a chair, sip sweet tea and listen to him for hours. There are others who provide this colorful clarity of expression; Hitchens, Will and Buckley leap to my mind since I have so much enjoyed their work over the years.
Sadly, such people are quite rare in our time. I believe this has been caused by distraction. Most of that is a product of our media. I don’t mean that as criticism of the media as an industry - trust me, I’ll do lots of that later – so much as a statement about passive listening and an overabundance of content.
If you read anything from the early to mid-twentieth century, you start to see a slow slouching toward mediocrity,4 especially in personal letters, even schoolwork. The trend follows almost perfectly with the beginning of the industrial era, then the radio age and spirals downward as technology brings film, television and finally personal electronics. Now, just posting a hand-written letter is a lost social skill. The only people who send me actual letters are all older than me. For the record, I am somewhere between the ages of 29 and Stonehenge.
Modern politicians are not simply the product of this. Many are well-educated and perfectly capable of concise, insightful communication. But they actively resist the use of these skills. They are counting on the fact that you are distracted. They complain about the thirty-second sound bite, but wouldn’t trade it for the world. They use them to churn out poll-tested buzzwords and ad hominem attacks on their opponents. And by golly, if it wasn’t for a lack of time they’d say more, but…
So like the people I describe in the preface to this book, these politicians bend over backwards to not get into real discussions and possibly make a misstep. They try to get elected because they are the most popular and said the least number of constructive things during a campaign.
The candidate who will win this election can be the one who says what needs to be said, but as I mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, says it right.
But wait! There’s more!
Indeed electronics, from early radio to fucking TikTok, have done considerable damage to our communication skills. But we didn’t just become smart, informed people without a good speaking ability. We’ve been coarsened and made more delicate at the same time.
We live in a world where we have the detailed combined knowledge of all history, science and literature in our pocket. But with each passing day, that access does us less and less good.
From A Fish Called Wanda
Wanda: [shouting]…now, was that smart, was it shrewd, was it good tactics, or was it STUPID?
Otto: Don’t call me stupid.
Wanda: [still shouting]. Oh, right! To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I’ve known sheep that could outwit you. I’ve worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you’re an intellectual, don’t you Ape?
Otto: [smugly] Apes don’t read philosophy.
Wanda: [shouting] Yes, they do, APE. They just can’t understand it!
We are fast becoming a nation of Ottos. I listened to Eric Weistein address a question basically identical to Linda’s. How did we arrive at a point where people talk, and text and fail utterly to communicate or learn? Weinstein spoke of the internet destroying the sacred. He wasn’t speaking of religiously sacred, although a lot of Christians would call that a major problem. He was speaking of the historically or intellectually sacred; our million years of learning being “scrolled”, liked and emoji-ed out of existence. Every day we move further from that massive compendium of knowledge.
That isn’t to say that we’re all actually stupid. But our focus is too disjointed. We have become too susceptible to nonsense. We lack, or are losing, critical skills to decide what is nonsense. And we are destroying our ability to communicate what we do think or know. Some of our kids never had it and never will…if we don’t change.
How do most of us get our information? Shamefully, it is on social media. We scroll, like, scroll, laugh, scroll, unfriend. With too many of us, this process goes on for HOURS every single day. At the end we’ve learned only what a disjointed string of two-second messages have left us. Then it’s, oh well, time for work or time for bed.
Our kids are turning their lives inside out, worrying what people on TikTok or some other piece of shit social network are thinking or saying about them. They are experiencing incredible stress when they are not staring at their screens to find out. The kids, and the rest of us, are being programmed to respond to worthless input. This is not learning. It is not growth. It has no value. It damages us a little more each day.
But the worst effect of all of it is with each passing day, especially among the young, our social skills, communication skills and ability to reason become a little duller. The evolution is not slow, especially in the young. Bad habits seem to form more easily, and kids can form a bad habit in just a few hours.
Advertisers and political whores have mastered this tool to create drones. Us. Through the use of well-placed mini-messages, half of us we’ve been conditioned to believe the most stupid things. Like a single gas controls all aspects of our environment; it doesn’t. That a bowl of shitty cereal is better for your kid than bacon and eggs;5 it’s not. That Donald Trump is conservative; he’s not. That the knowledge of civics and economics is just for pointy heads. That’s how Uncle Stinky gets away with giving trillions of YOUR dollars away to cronies. And there is little more than a whimper about it; perhaps a mad face emoji.
The people who run social media sites, the people who create weird advertisements, the political whores…none of these people care about YOU! In fact they seek to harm you – intentionally. They WANT you to be a compliant drone.
But, as we established, all this didn’t start with the internet. When radio “went viral” to use modern kitsch, a lot of very clever people immediately invented subtle or nefarious ways to bore into your psyche to get you to do, think or say what they wanted you to.
TV put this process on steroids. By the 1970s it was frighteningly obvious. Most of you are not unfamiliar with Howard Beale (Peter Finch). But you know the battle cry he created. To see how crazy things already were before there even was an internet, 1976, I submit two pieces of valuable, philosophical skepticism, a rear thing in Hollywood. After the videos, I’ll come back and we’ll discuss them. If you’re just listening, scroll to the YouTube embeds in the text.
Your audio starts again at the 20:14 mark.
Both clips are an indictment of the media AND the media’s consumers - YOU. They are crammed with universal realities still true today – worse today. The tube has been replaced by a device that can turn on a dime to communicate the most precise, most productive message, at precisely the right time, to affect your thinking. The same device can track your most minute eye movements to divine what turns you on and off.
We are more enslaved to the purveyors of this garbage than any Howard Beale ever dreamed we could be.
I find the first clip to be interesting for contradictory reasons. Both troubling. The clip demonstrates how Trump found traction enough to become a real candidate for the White House. Just by virtue of his presence and personality, he tapped into a visceral resentment we have of “establishment” and was rewarded with a massive response. No matter how you feel about him, it was organic and happened very quickly.
The other troubling thing is the absence of such a spellbinding process to support Kamala Harris. On Sunday a few months ago, she was a punchline, a person despised her own staff, and she was the last person anybody in the media would have said should be president. By midday the next day she was brilliant, joyful and the savior of democracy. This was because half the country is obedient to a tribal elite. Nobody believed any of it on that Monday. Nobody believes it now. But through the new “tube”, your cell phone or laptop, you are instructed to believe, so you pretend to.
The second clip is also significant considering recent news. The Blob is tripping over itself to fast track the purchase of 200 radio stations by the world’s nastiest power whore – George Soros. The man is devoid of scruples or a conscience. He will do anything to accrue more power for himself and his offspring. “And woe unto us” if it happens. And it likely will.
Also, the parallel between us and, “…you even think like the tube!” is obvious. But now the problem isn’t how we imitate the internet. We LIVE in it. We are addicted to it. Some of us, especially our kids, lose sleep if we haven’t gotten enough of it.
So Linda, and my other friends, yes. It’s been an evolution - getting us “here”. It was radio, TV, the internet and now the unholy beast - social media. But it only worked because we were weak. We chose to be used. We LOVE to be lied to. It was a process we could have sidestepped at any time in the last century. Can we get away from it now?
Let me assure you, reflecting on the issues you hear about here and at other skeptical, anti-establishment sites, the time is soon coming when you will need to fight back. If you don’t overcome your addiction to all things electronic, you will be incapable of fighting back. If that is how things are when that day comes, then ‘woe unto us’ won’t begin to cover the hell the central planners in DC have in store you.

Fentanyl is not crossing a secure border. It’s crossing a gaping hole provided for that very purpose by Barry Obiden.
Illegals are signing up to vote in most, if not every state. Millions will vote illegally this year. If anyone fights it, the permanent governing class will take them to court in order to count every ILEGAL vote.
Don’t forget the Pakistani guy who was arrested BEFORE he actually had a bead on Trump. But the FBI said he was planning to kill Trump.
I stole that phrase from Robert Bork

SAMs to target Trump? And "Woe unto us..." (with 2 short video embeds)
