The Morning Report 9/8/21

Good morning, kids. Wednesday and the observation that the more the unmitigated lies put out by the junta in DC and its propagandists of virtually everything we are dealing with are exposed and dismantled, the more the junta and its propagandists do everything they can to strangle dissent. As this vicious cycle will no doubt continue, history has shown over and over again that at some point the word “strangle” will transform from the figurative to the literal.

First, we have the catastrophe of Afghanistan in which Joe Bovine-spongiform-encephalopathy insists that the complete clusterfuck bug-out was a success and that every American who wanted to get out got out. Except for the hundreds that he claims didn’t want to get out or deny even being in country. In order to ensure that that fantasy becomes reality, the State Department is actually preventing their departure.

According to Fox News, the State Department is withholding the necessary approval that will allow privately chartered flights from Afghanistan to land in third countries. The administration is saying that it’s too dangerous to let these planes land at Defense Department airbases:

The State Department refused to grant official approval for private evacuation flights from Afghanistan to land in third countries, even though the department conceded that official authorization would likely be needed for planes to land in those nations, an email reviewed by Fox News shows.

Furthermore, the State Department explicitly stated that charter flights, even those containing American citizens, would not be allowed to land at Defense Department (DOD) airbases. U.S. officials have pointed to possible security threats from landing charter planes at military bases, saying that they lack the resources on the ground to fully verify flight manifests.

The Biden [junta’s] delaying of private evacuation efforts has been a widespread source of frustration, infuriating rescue organizers and even a prominent Democratic senator.

That sounds very noble, doesn’t it? The State Department is making sure that Americans, at home and abroad (except for those abroad in Afghanistan) are safe.

This newfound nobility is a stark contrast to the way in which the Biden [junta], whether in the White House, the State Department, or the Pentagon, managed the evacuation before it the military took its last boots off the ground in Afghanistan. Although the administration claims that only 100 or so Americans remain in Afghanistan, Rep. Darrell Issa believes that the real number is closer to 500-1000 Americans whom the U.S. abandoned in Afghanistan. 

I would posit that even more remain behind because, before the pullout, Biden himself admitted that there were 10,000 to 15,000 Americans trapped in Afghanistan. In the end, those planes leaving Afghanistan before the U.S. pulled out carried only 6,000 Americans. I’m not good at math, but that tells me that 4,000 to 9,000 were left behind. . . 

. . . So, that means that fewer than 15,000 people who were American citizens or Afghan allies got on those flights. Except the Biden administration has boasted that it got 116,000 people out during those last frenzied days. So, where were the remaining 100,000? We have no idea. About 500 are known terrorists but how many are “unknown” terrorists? Again, we have no idea. It didn’t matter. The Biden [junta] willingly took in over 100,000 people from a country in which 99% of the people support sharia law. . . 

. . . Once again, one is left wondering whether it’s possible for the Biden [junta] to be so stupid, incompetent, and cruel by accident, or if there is a method to its madness.

As this is unfolding, he and Veep Throat Harris will be heading to California to campaign for Gavin Newsom, which is odd since the polling indicates he’ll handily beat the recall effort. And then on Thursday, Biden is set to derogate the American people in a televised address dealing with the Chinese Lung Aids pandemic that he insisted he would end shortly after the magic show installed him last January 20th. Hold that thought for a moment.

I have the impression that not only does Biden, or more accurately those who are feeding him ice cream and his teleprompter bullshit, even care about a potential mass hostage crisis. I think the Biden Junta is actively rooting for or even encouraging the Taliban to get rid of the problem for them: I mean, execute perhaps hundreds of American citizens just for Biden’s own political expediency.

Yeah, I went there. Biden is a sociopath; the dementia merely amplifies it. What’s worse, he is surrounded by people who are equally ruthless in their lust for power, be it ideologically driven or greed or some combination of both. That they view an unknown number of their own citizens as expendable, and merely the means to their own evil ends has horrifying implications in the near and long term for us and whatever the hell is left of the free world.

Psaki-psircling back to the Chinese Lung Rot, we learned yesterday that the lifetime technocratic vole whose actions exacerbated the AIDS crisis, Anthony Fauci collaborated even more than we had imagined with the Chi-Coms in engineering Frankenstein viruses, the mildest of which they accidentally, or accidentally on purpose, unleashed on the world perhaps as far back as the summer of 2019.

But the reaction from the junta and their propaganda arm is to cover up, obfuscate or attack anyone who dares speak of it.

This morning, The Intercept published an article showing grant documents that experts say demonstrate that Dr. Anthony Fauci’s agency knowingly funded gain-of-function research in China. The funds allowed researchers to conduct studies during the Obama administration’s ban on that type of research. Some are saying this research may well have been the origin of [Chinese] COVID-19. Our sister site RedState first reported on this in May.

Fauci has appeared before Congress several times and emphatically denied his agency funded this type of research — even in the face of a 2015 study that referred to the work as gain-of-function research. You would think he might be huddled up with communications experts and members of the Biden administration to decide how to resign quietly. That way, Fauci could avoid an inspector general’s investigation and more appearances before Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

Instead, Fauci appeared on CNN. Far from asking any hard-hitting questions about the report, host Jim Sciutto never discussed the shocking revelations about the research grants, nor did he ask Fauci how the news squared with his repeated congressional testimony.

Instead, Sciutto asked Fauci to evaluate Florida Governor Ron Desantis’s response to [Chinese] COVID-19 and pontificate about college football games. The interview kicked off with Fauci expressing his concern over children too young to be vaccinated returning to school without masks. Children who are too young to be vaccinated rarely become seriously ill from [Chinese] COVID-19 — even the American Academy of Pediatrics has admitted that the Delta variant is not more dangerous to children than previous ones, posing almost no risk to healthy children. . . 

. . . As the interview continued, pictures of college football fans at outdoor stadiums flashed on the screen. Most fans were maskless. Fauci and Sciutto expressed their concern for the fans. Fauci said that if people continue to behave like this, America may remain in outbreak mode. These two can’t see how wringing their hands about vaccinated people returning to normal life decreases confidence in the vaccines they want you to take. Here’s a dirty little secret: There will be outbreaks of [Chinese] COVID-19 for the rest of our lives. According to The Intercept report, it is quite possible that we have Dr. Anthony Fauci to thank for that. And CNN did not ask him a single question about it.

The propagandists are engaging in a full court press to demonize ivermectin, regeneron and other therapeutics while downplaying the efficacy or dangers of these vaccines by labeling it all “conspiracy theories” and “anti-science.” And the heat is on now to force everyone to get the shot or face de facto internal exile as a political prisoner. Of all places, look at what’s happening in Australia. 

This government – this ILLEGITIMATE government – has all but consigned hundreds of Americans to death in Afghanistan to establish and maintain a laughable facade of competence and patriotism. Several governors have already murdered thousands of elderly nursing home patients by forcing the infected to lodge in their facilities. They’ve stolen elections, wiped out our economy, stolen our freedoms, crippled our defenses and brainwashed our children, among other depredations. There is nothing they will not do. They have no moral compass or red line they will not cross because they believe they have a moral imperative to maintain power at all costs.
