The Morning Report 12/12/23

Good morning, kids. It’s all just projection and hypocrisy when you get right down to it, and on such a massive level that you alternately roll on the floor and laugh your ass off before rage-stroking in paroxysms of obscenities. I mean, among several kangaroo court show trials, former President Trump is in the dock for supposedly inciting a violent mob to commit insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. There is overwhelming proof now that that never happened, that he called for peaceful protest, wasn’t anywhere near the Capitol itself, and that the alleged “rioters” or “insurrectionists” were all unarmed and being escorted into and out of the building by the Capitol PD. 

Yet, here we are and here Trump is, the victim of the shabbiest, sleaziest, corrupt banana republic garbage that is the hallmark of kleptocratic third world shit-holes. Meh, if the Nikita Khrushchev podium-pounder fits . . . 

Of course, this happened yesterday and it’s being treated like a Norman Rockwell moment by the Fourth Estate/Fifth Column:

The U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) took credit for the illegal protest, boasting in a Monday morning social media post that “100+” of its activists “have TAKEN OVER the Senate atrium for Palestine, singing ‘Ceasefire Now” and ‘Stop Weapons Now.'” Protesters spilled red-stained money—which they said symbolized U.S. aid to Israel—on the floors of the Hart Senate Office Building and unveiled banners that said “‘Aid’ to Israel = bombing Palestinians.” Capitol Police arrested more than 40 protesters, two of whom were charged with resisting arrest.

USCPR’s illegal protest marks the latest example of a Soros-backed group descending on the Capitol complex to rally against Israel.

Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow similarly infiltrated the Capitol in October, with protesters accusing the Israeli government of “genocide.” Those groups have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Soros’s philanthropy arm, the Open Society Foundations. Soros’s nonprofit has also funneled $700,000 to USCPR’s parent organization, Education for Just Peace in the Middle East, since 2018, grant disclosures show. Open Society said $300,000 of that money would “promote freedom, justice, and equality in a world without racism and oppression.”

In addition to the Soros money, USCPR’s parent organization has received $580,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, an influential left-wing nonprofit that says it works to advance “social change that contributes to a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world.”

That organization, Education for Just Peace in the Middle East, has been accused of abusing its charity status to bankroll Hamas and other Palestinian groups. The group is the fiscal sponsor of the Palestinian BDS National Committee, which counts as members five different U.S. designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, according to Tablet.

USCPR has ties to House Democrats, with the group having cosponsored a May congressional event with Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) that mourned Israel’s founding. The event marked the “Nakba,” a Palestinian term for the creation of Israel that loosely translates as “catastrophe.” While then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) blocked the event from occurring by reserving the Capitol Visitor Center space that Tlaib planned to use, Senate Democrats gave Tlaib space to host the event in a committee room.

It’s more George Lincoln Rockwell than Norman Rockwell. You know, in the aftermath of 1/6/21, and really as a matter of policy, if any person or group of persons attempted to storm the Senate or House wouldn’t the Capitol Police take them down, and if need be by the use of deadly force? After all, “our precious democracy” (vomit) has been threatened, no? 

Meh, as we all know too well, nobody “stormed” anything. These degenerates were allowed in by their degenerate congresscritters and security was ordered to not do jack shit. Of course, this raises the question of where Speaker Mike Johnson was when this happened, since he is the head of the Capitol cops. At least on paper. 

This pre-planned, orchestrated showboating for the TV cameras is a farce and is SOP whenever a conservative justice or other nominee is up for consideration, or when Code Pinko or some other Marxist group somehow “spontaneously” shows up to debase themselves whilst pretending to be defending democracy, the planet, vaginas, or whatever. Yet, even phony stunts like these send a message that can and often does lead to disaster:

On Thursday afternoon, the day before the beginning of Hanukkah, a man named Mufid Fawaz Alkhader went to a synagogue, Temple Israel in Albany, N.Y. He was carrying a shotgun and fired two shots. According to police who went to the scene, he screamed “Free Palestine.” The FBI is now hard at work, trying to figure out his motive. No kidding. . . 

. . . Hawkins “said the incident is being investigated as a hate crime, but it wasn’t clear what charges could be filed. They could include federal charges.” But the intrepid FBI is not sure why this happened at all; it “said in a statement that it was investigating the incident along with local, state, and federal agencies.” The statement added, “Our office immediately deployed multiple resources and will continue to work in concert with our law enforcement partners, to include the United States Attorney’s Office, to work through the facts and determine any potential motives.”

Of course! Alkhader sure knows how the game is played these days: carry out a gratuitous, unprovoked act of aggression and then claim victimhood status. After all, who are the left’s heroes today? The “marginalized.” The “excluded.” So what better way to bid to become a hero among increasingly antisemitic leftists today than by claiming to be an outcast? Moral inversion is the name of the game. Fire random shots outside a synagogue, and then claim it’s someone else’s fault, and people will actually believe you. . . 

. . . Yeah, Alkhader’s motive is tough to figure out. He has a common Muslim name, he screamed “Free Palestine,” and he chose to go to a synagogue and start firing a shotgun. What could possibly have motivated such behavior? Could he share the general rage at Israel for defending itself after Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre of 1,200 Israelis? Ever cautious, ever careful, the FBI is not jumping to any conclusions! Why, he could have been watching his weight and enraged by the suspected presence of doughnuts inside the building! Why would you leap to the idea that he was some kind of Islamic jihad terrorist, you Islamophobe?

Consider, on the other hand, an alternate scenario: imagine that a white American non-Muslim named John Smith carried a shotgun to the parking lot of a mosque, where he fired off two shots and screamed “This is MAGA country!” Do you think that the FBI would have issued a statement saying that they were going to “work through the facts and determine any potential motives”? As Old Joe Biden would say, Come on, man! John Smith would be looking at hard time and maybe even at never breathing free air again, and the establishment media would be inundating us with dark warnings about the Trump-incited “white supremacist threat.”

For years now, FBI top dog Christopher Wray has been claiming that “white supremacists” constituted the nation’s chief terror threat. It has now been twelve years since the federal government removed all mention of Islam and jihad from government counter-terror materials and gave us instead the Countering Violent Extremism program, which ignores jihad violence and focuses on a largely imaginary “right-wing extremism” — you know, angry parents at school board meetings and folks strolling around the Capitol snapping selfies on Jan. 6, 2021, after the police opened the doors for them.

Robert Spencer nails it again. I mean, there are threats but then again, there are threats. Of course, we already have an older man by the name of Paul Kessler assaulted and killed by a pro-Hamas professor in California, or as Christopher Wary would insist, was a victim of accidental contact with a megaphone and gravity. Plus, as you can see in the links below, mobs going crazy in NYC and now in LA. Those two cities of course are historically hotbeds of John Bircher, KKK, Aryan Nations and other white supremacist hardcore “right-wing” racists. What? They’re traditional safe havens for Jews and minorities? Hmm, I’m so confused.

Our government is comprised of two elements: an illegitimate junta that is hell bent on destroying us from within and seizing absolute power, and an alleged opposition that at best is impotent and ignorant, and at worst in cahoots with the tyrants. 

Our citizenry is also divided along similar lines: those who have either been brainwashed via the schools into applauding the tyranny and people who have been cowed, silenced or otherwise paralyzed into letting them have their way. Yet, that also raises the question of “citizenry” given the fact that we have no borders nor controls. That Albany synagogue shooter sure doesn’t sound like any “Yankee doodle dandy,” now does he?

Popular opinion, however, would contend that all of the “presumed” citizens in the question – Awlaki, Hamdi, Guzman’s twin daughters, the Chinese surrogate children, and babies born to illegals – because of their made-in-the-USA birth certificates, are “natural born citizens.” So, presumably, besides enjoying all the benefits of that status, they could also all run for President of the United States. (And if one disagrees with any of that, they’re labeled “racist” or “birther”) . . . 

. . . Now, citizenship is perceived to be purely derived by geographical location at the moment of birth, so well-timed travel planning is crucial. For the foreign relatives desiring admission to the U.S., an “anchor baby” birth in the right spot is cause for celebration. . . 

. . . In his report on illegal immigration titled: “American Jackpot: The Remaking of America by Birthright Citizenship,” Mark Cromer used the subheading: “Run, Squat and Drop.” Although “well documented in classic Chicano literature” it is perhaps an insensitive description, but such is the reality.

“Run, squat and drop” is now joined by “fertilize, freeze, ship and implant.” Shipping one’s fertilized eggs half way across the world to implant them into the uterus of a U.S. resident so that the newborn will be guaranteed U.S. citizenship reveals the absurdity of the notion that mere location of one’s first breath is the sole determinant.

Adding to the issue, all of these babies born on U.S. soil – to foreign citizens here legally but temporarily, illegally, or anonymously to U.S surrogates – are also granted citizenship by their parent’s home countries, making them dual citizens .at birth. The Oath of Naturalization for U.S. citizenship requires a formal rejection of other citizenships for foreign-born applicants. However, children born here as dual citizens are never formally required to make such a renouncement. The State Department rarely enforces its policies discouraging dual citizenship, and has adopted, as described by Frances Stead Sellers in her essay, “When Conflict Focuses on Citizenship,” a sort of  “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. 

The very idea of double allegiance is considered “civic bigamy” by scholars such as Dr. John Fonte, who notes the “principle that an American citizen should be loyal to the United States and to no other country or political power is a moral and constitutional issue of the highest order.” In the book The 50% American, author Stanley Renshon estimated that more than 40 million Americans are dual citizens. That was in 2005. With the huge explosion of illegal immigration in recent years, that number will have skyrocketed. . . 

. . . Of course it cannot be implied that dual citizenship equates with terrorism, drug-smuggling or Communist aggression, but imagine the nightmare if America became involved in a global conflict while having a significant percentage of residents claiming not just heritage, but actual citizenship in the very countries with which we might be at war. Our nation’s sovereignty relies on citizens that belong on its side, with sole allegiance to the political community of the United States of America, which in turn, provides its citizens the guaranteed protection of the rule of law. Our enemies – not just countries but also terrorist groups and cartels – are well aware of the gaping hole in our fence, both physically and metaphorically. They see an easy way to not only invade, but to recruit soldiers and operatives who could use their “presumed citizenship” for access and protection. . . 

. . . Years of an uncontrolled, massive border surge consisting of millions of mostly military-aged males not eligible for asylum – and the certain probability that terrorists, cartels, and foreign adversaries are among them – have created an untenable security risk.

And now, as the IDF is perhaps on the cusp of clearing Gaza, and ignoring calls for a cease fire, the calls will be for us to allow 1-2 million Gazans to settle over here (on top of the far too many Muslims already here legally or otherwise). I’m sure they’re just itching to embrace the principles of our Constitution, history, heritage and tradition of tolerance and dive right into the great melting pot. To even suggest that adhering to the tenets of Islam that call for the conquest of countries outside the “umma,” either via by stealth or open violence, is Islamophobic! Never mind history! 

Of course, who needs to import America-hating terrorists when we can raise them right here in the schools?

As part of his private war against the Pope in Rome, during the years 1536-41 Henry VIII — he of six wives fame — ordered the dissolution of the monasteries of Britain and Ireland, stripping these longstanding institutions of their property, income, money, and destroying the priceless Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, and Norman cultural heritage of the British Isles in a fit of priapic pique. Churchmen were executed, and monastic libraries were torched. . . 

. . . Ah well, as another psychopathic monster, Uncle Joe Stalin, was reputed to have said some 400 years later: “You can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs.” Britain and its renegade church, now on its last legs with the remains of the “Windsors” as its titular head, has been culturally much the poorer for it ever since. . . 

. . . What if we follow his lead, then, and abolish not the monasteries — the current incarnation of the post-Vatican II Catholic Church is taking care of that all by itself — but the Ivy League and a few other “elite” universities, the nests of “progressive” saboteurs who have inflicted incalculable damage on the United States since the arrival of the Frankfurt School on these shores just before World War II.

Surely, the stunning, clueless malfeasance of three female Ivy League presidents would indicate that a thorough housecleaning is in order. The ritual self-immolation of one of the most egregious offenders, Penn’s Liz McGill, was a good start, but let’s face it there’s lots more work to be done, boys and girls. . .

. . . Schools like Harvard, which are sitting on mountains of cash, happily sailing along tax-exempt even as they grubbily collect billions in federal monies, and indulge in blatant racial discrimination have become the very definition of a racket. Plus, their straight-A students don’t even know anything any more except the indoctrinating cant of their professors, although their self-esteem is off the charts. The Ivies are the madrassas of the Left, transmitting the tenets of their faith to their students’ memories while the poor saps learn nothing of real-world value.

So revoke their charters and close them all down for a period of at least ten to twelves years — the Ivies plus Stanford, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, Duke, and the University of California campuses at Berkeley, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Davis, and Irvine. Fire everybody and start over again, eliminating useless majors, returning a core curriculum of Western civilizational values, reducing grade inflation, abolishing affirmative action and anything smacking of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. What we need is the educational equivalent of a denazification program similar to the one instituted in Germany after World War II, to yank it out the moral corruption, root and branch. Only when the purge is complete should we allow them to re-open under the original terms of their chartering and under careful adult supervision.

Friend and friend of the blog Michael Walsh makes my mouth water. And after we finish with the universities we can start in on the de-Nazification of Pre-K through high school. The rot is ugly, dark and deep.

This of course goes hand in hand with the deporting of every single illegal alien in this country, followed by a very close look at the loyalties of those we granted citizenship to willy-nilly. 

But, of course, there’s that pesky Constitution that the Left never abides by but who will no doubt use what’s left of it to ram down our throats. 

At some point, some hard choices are going to have to be made regarding that document. The Left is fond of spouting that “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” One day we might have to embrace that, con gusto.
