Of course the US would go with KGB but more D.

DGB? Are they sure they got the first initial right?

If I was to hazard a guess, this is actually a move in internecine war between different Mandarins in the byzantine US governement. No other associations intended but it is starting to look like Germany during the national socialist years: umpteen secret service and espionage agencies competing against eachother, each with their own branch of armed forces.

Meanwhile, the banking clans say "Thankee kindly mistah 'murican, for doing such god job for us." (Feel free to add any ethnic stereotype to the preceding sentence, since I don't know which one is ok to mock today...)

The fall elections simply can't arrive soon enough. They decided to formalize what has been going on. At least we now have a target to accost. I think she will not appreciate the attention from Congress.

Myorkis says it's a done deal. Already established. And it's DHS, which polices internal crime, not Russians. They're targeting me and you.

It's pretty bad when North Korea starts looking freer than America. 😜

"...working on Russian propaganda efforts." Haha, interesting phrasing. Sounds like they recruited her from Moscow to adapt those propaganda efforts for an American audience.

I think a lot of this has been in the works for a while, just quietly, but the election of Trump and now Elon Musk buying Twitter have made them kick the acceleration toward centralized totalitarianism in high gear. Not because either of these people are in themselves saviors, but because of what they have revealed and could reveal. I've read a couple interesting articles in the last day.

The first is about the strangeness on Twitter right now with conservatives adding followers and lefties loosing them (I won't call them liberals). This is from the Heretic Speculator: https://faybomb.substack.com/p/something-odd-is-happening-at-twitter?utm_source=%2Finbox&utm_medium=reader2&s=r

And then when you read the history of the Wilson Center, this is just history repeating itself, though it makes me nervous about how close we actually are to stupidly putting boots on the ground in Ukraine. A war is an excellent excuse to crack down on civil liberties now that people have stopped buying the BS about COVID. The last time the government tried this was World War I, under Woodrow Wilson, who created the Committee on Public Information. This is from Tell Me How It Ends, the Substack by Chris Bray: https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/local-man-dies-of-irony-poisoning?utm_source=%2Finbox&utm_medium=reader2&s=r

DGB is 2/3 of the way to KGB.

A few Republicans have spoken up and Josh Hawley wrote a letter, so the "opposition" has done its part.

This is blatantly unconstitutional and is all about them being able to screw with the midterm elections. After searching the internet, I haven't found any organization making a statement other than Freedom Works. Any legal firms or AGs willing to step up and try stop this?

What if we start by not sanctifying ANY President? Because most of them on both sides have been schmucks, to use the mildest possible term, and the ones with the fewest personal defects have nevertheless failed to sufficiently turn over the rocks under which all the maggots lie.

Unless one can be truly clear-eyed, and ruthless in holding one's own side to account when necessary, the road ahead will only get grimmer.

As we are devolved back to word of mouth, or an occasional hand delivered letter, remember to always speak the truth, for without it we are no longer free, but cogs in a machine.

I for one will not be a pinion of my own destruction, for I will fight with every tool available to me, this dementia driven demagoguery.

Are the smuggling groups peddling disinformation to potential illegal immigrants by telling them they need to be vaccinated to enter the U.S.?

The real question is, what are we all going to do about this? Time to start a concerted letter writing campaign to our elected representatives? Get Veritas or DW or someone to launch an exposure/counteroffensive campaign? This seems more important than just whining on Substack at which many of us are very good. Suggestions?

Commander, the gentleman in your profile pic was clearly a fortune teller!

Here's a thought if the GOP does in fact sweep the dems out of power over the next 3 years: Disband the Department of Homeland Security altogether!
