Sloppering Military-Industrial-Bankster Complex Lapdog
Posted by M. C. on April 14, 2023
Some time ago I emailed my representative Mike Kelly encouraging him to vote for Matt Gaetz bill, H.Con.Res 21, to require the prez to remove armed services from Syria. I received a response today in the mail. He voted “nay”.
“I agree with the goal to bring our troops home. However, we must do so in a way promotes peace and maintains order following years log conflicts.”
US foreign policy does not do peace and order. Apparently Kelly is unfamiliar with our stellar performances in Iraq, Afghanistan and the exit from Vietnam.

The Crackdown Cometh
Posted by M. C. on April 14, 2023
Leaks for me, not for thee
https://www.racket.news/p/the-crackdown-cometh?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
On a flight, reading about the FBI’s arrest of Jack Texiera, already dubbed the “Pentagon Leaker.” A quick review reveals multiple media portraits already out depicting him as a dangerous incel who shared his wares on Discord, a social media app where “racist memes” and “offensive jokes” flourish. Writes the New York Times:
Dark humor about race or ideology can eventually shape the beliefs of impressionable young people, and innocuous memes can be co-opted into symbols of hatred, researchers say.
Well, clearly we can’t have dark humor or innocuous memes! Gitmo cages for all!
The Washington Post went with “charismatic gun enthusiast”:
The New York Times summarized key points in the secret defense documents, which among other things suggested “Ukrainian forces are in more dire straits than their government has acknowledged publicly.” Reading what’s out there, it’s not easy to parse what’s a legitimate intelligence concern in reaction to these leaks and what’s mere embarrassment at having been caught lying, to the public, to would-be U.S. allies the documents show we’ve been spying on, etc.
You’ll read a lot in the coming days about the dangers of apps like Discord, or of online gaming groups, which counterintelligence officials told the Washington Post today are a “magnet for spies.”

How One Undercover FBI Agent Infiltrated BLM and the Militia Movement | The Libertarian Institute
Posted by M. C. on April 14, 2023
Questions about Red and the FBI’s role in fomenting violence in both right- and left-wing movements could ostensibly be answered by the House Weaponization Subcommittee,
But despite touting itself as the next “Church committee”—the Weaponization Subcommittee has yet to comment on the matter.
by Ken Silva
In August 2020, an FBI undercover agent code-named “Red” unsuccessfully tried to foment a plot to assassinate Colorado’s attorney general. The next month, an FBI undercover agent with the same code-name and physical description played a major role in the conspiracy to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
After reviewing audio recordings and other information, three people involved in the Whitmer case have concluded that the “Red” in Colorado is the same person as Michigan “Red,” whose real name is special agent Timothy Bates.
Indeed, in both cases, “Red” is described as 6 feet 2 inches tall with facial hair and a tattoo sleeve going down his arm. “Red” was also introduced to BLM activists and militiamen alike as an ex-military, outlaw munitions expert. And moreover, “Red” took each of his targets on surveillance car rides.
The information about Colorado Red and the short-lived association plot was recently revealed in a new podcast, “Alphabet Boys,” which details how the FBI infiltrated the BLM movement.
According to Alphabet Boys, an FBI informant introduced Red to a BLM activist who had expressed interest in assassinating Colorado’s attorney general. Red and the activist met in August 2020, and then went on a car ride to surveil the AG’s home—but the activist suspected Red of being a fed, and never contacted him again.
The next month, “Red” would figure prominently in the Whitmer case, attempting to goad militia members into buying explosives in the weeks before they were arrested. Former Whitmer defendant Brandon Caserta met Red in person and said he listened to his voice “hundreds of times” on audio throughout his legal proceedings.
After listening to the Alphabet Boys, Caserta—who was exonerated of all charges—said he’s 100-percent certain that Colorado Red and Michigan Red are one in the same.
“I’m only 10 minutes in. I don’t need to go any further. That’s Red—100 percent,” he said.
Likewise, the family of Adam Fox—who was convicted in the Whitmer plot—thinks it’s the same person. Fox’s family has heard audio of Bates, and watched him testify against Fox.
“Literally the minute I heard the voice I knew it was him,” said Fox’s sister, Gabrielle, whose last name Headline USA is withholding for privacy reasons. “I am in complete agreement with Brandon: That sounds just like Red.”
Fox’s mom, Christina, added, “It does sound like him.”
Not only does the Colorado Red’s voice sound the same as Bates, according to Caserta and Fox’s family; he also matches the same physical description.

Should I Trust My Doctor Anymore?
Posted by M. C. on April 14, 2023
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2023/04/thomas-woods/should-i-trust-my-doctor-anymore/
By Tom Woods
From the Tom Woods Letter:
It took me long enough to figure this out, but thanks to the disastrous Covid response a lot more of us than ever are wondering about mainstream medicine.
The medical profession disgraced itself over the past three years nearly as much as did the public health establishment, whose voodoo accomplished a fat zero but ruined who knows how many lives. Countless doctors, meanwhile, showed no curiosity at all about treatments for Covid outside the approved regimen (like the atrocious Remdesivir), and none about the shots.
We all know the heroic exceptions. But exceptions they were.
Now, the natural questions are: what else that we’ve been told about health is false or on shaky scientific ground? Have financial interests driven health decisions and recommendations in cases other than Covid? What sources should we trust on questions relating to our health?

The Bespoke’d New Car – EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk
Posted by M. C. on April 14, 2023
In the case of EVs, there is the addition force of . . . force.
The regulatory apparat has assured that only the Bespoke’d will be in a position to make – and to buy cars. This no doubt suits the Bespoke’d, who have long resented that the non-Bespoke’d could afford the same as the Bespoke’d crowd could. It is not as distinctive to own a car when anyone can.
Which is ultimately what it’s all about.
https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2023/04/12/the-new-car-as-a-luxury-item/
By eric
New cars sales are way down – by millions of vehicles annually – but that hasn’t caused new car prices to go down accordingly. In fact, they have gone up – a lot. The average price paid for a new car last year was almost $50,000 – which is both a record high and about $15,000 more than it was just three years ago.
Two factors are driving this.
The first is “electrification,” which is expensive. And becoming more so.
There are more expensive EVs on the market now than there were three years ago, when Tesla was pretty much the only one making them in significant numbers. Now almost every car company is making them, because they have to make them. Well, it’s true that they could decide not to make them – but that would take courage, in short supply in corporate boardrooms these days. Instead, the impetus is compliance. Go along to get along – and pretend it will all keep going, somehow.
Which it did – for awhile – for as long as interest rates remained low and inflation did, too.
A six year loan on a $50,000 car was feasible when the cost of money – interest – was essentially nothing. It was almost an investment to take out a loan. But the cost of money is now three times-plus what it was just a couple of years ago, which has made what was feasible and not financially irresponsible increasingly impossible.
A monthly payment that was $600 is now $800 – and the money available to make the payments has diminished in buying power by at least 10-15 percent, courtesy of what is often inaccurately called “inflation” – effectively increasing the actual monthly cost of the loan to nearer $1,000.
This will inevitably reduce new car sales even more as there are fewer and fewer people who can manage the payments on a $50,000 car.

New York Times Is Now Telling Bigger Lies Than Iraq WMDs and More Effectively – Antiwar.com Original
Posted by M. C. on April 13, 2023
As Jimmy Carter told Donald Trump, “Since 1979, do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody? None. And we have stayed at war. . . . China has not wasted a single penny on war, and that’s why they’re ahead of us. In almost every way.”
The New York Times routinely tells bigger lies than the clumsy nonsense it published about weapons in Iraq. Here’s an example. This package of lies is called “Liberals Have a Blind Spot on Defense” but mentions nothing related to defense. It simply pretends that militarism is defensive by applying that word and by lying that “we face simultaneous and growing military threats from Russia and China.” Seriously? Where?
The U.S. military budget is more than those of most nations of the world combined. Only 29 nations, out of some 200 on Earth, spend even 1 percent what the US does. Of those 29, a full 26 are US weapons customers. Many of those receive free US weapons and/or training and/or have US bases in their countries. Only one non-ally, non-weapons customer (albeit a collaborator in bioweapons research labs) spends over 10% what the US does, namely China, which was at 37% of US spending in 2021 and likely about the same now despite the highly horrifying increases widely reported in the US media and on the floor of Congress. (That’s not considering weapons for Ukraine and various other US expenses.) While the US has planted military bases around Russia and China, neither has a military base anywhere near the United States, and neither has threatened the United States.
Now, if you don’t want to fill the globe with US weaponry and provoke Russia and China on their borders, the New York Times has some additional lies for you: “Defense spending is about as pure an application of a domestic industrial policy – with thousands of good-paying, high-skilled manufacturing jobs – as any other high-tech sector.”
No, it is not. Just about any other way of spending public dollars, or even not taxing them in the first place, produces more and better jobs.
Here’s a doozie:
“Liberals also used to be hostile to the military on the assumption that it skewed right wing, but that’s a harder argument to make when the right is complaining about a ‘woke military.’”
What in the world would it mean to oppose organized mass murder because it skews right wing? What the hell else could it skew? I oppose militarism because it kills, destroys, damages the Earth, drives homelessness and illness and poverty, prevents global cooperation, tears down the rule of law, prevents self-governance, produces the dumbest pages of the New York Times, fuels bigotry, and militarizes police, and because there are better ways to resolve disputes and to resist the militarism of others. I’m not going to start cheering for mass killings because some general doesn’t hate enough groups.
