Tucker Interviews Telegram App Founder, Pavel Durov

Free Speech Telegram was founded by an amazing Russian and his genius brother who continues to maintain and sponsor a completely private communication platform for the world

 Article from Revolver. Video downloaded from TuckerCarlson network.

Tucker Carlson recently had a fascinating sit-down with Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, in what might be one of the most insightful “Big Tech” interviews you’ll ever see. While you may not have heard of him, Durov is a significant figure in the realm of “Big Tech.”

Operating his mega platform, Telegram, out of Dubai, this Russian entrepreneur is shedding light on just how desperate our government is to silence dissenting voices.

Thanks to his quest to support free speech and free thinking, Pavel is walking around with a giant target on his back. As a matter of fact, things got so dicey for young Pavel that the US government even tried to hire one of his employees to spy on users: “They wanted him to code open-source tools into the app that would serve as backdoors.”

Let freedom ring, right?

When Pavel started Telegram, which now boasts nearly a billion users, he had planned to headquarter the company in the Big Tech utopia of San Francisco. However, something significant altered his course. He was attacked while strolling down the street, which served as his first red flag that San Francisco wasn’t the right fit for him. Ironically, according to Pavel, the United States is the only country he’s been attacked in. That shouldn’t surprise you, especially in soft-on-crime liberal cities like San Francisco.

Clearly, folks are itching for social media platforms that let them speak their minds, no strings attached. Everyone’s tired of the heavy “government” moderation on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and others. Those sites feel too much like a nanny state. These sites also play favorites, especially politically, so it’s no wonder that people are looking elsewhere for platforms where they can say what they want and how they want without fear of an FBI smackdown.

Barron’s:

The encrypted messaging app Telegram has reached more than 900 million active users and should pass the one-billion mark within a year, its boss said in an interview published Wednesday.

“Telegraph is spreading like a forest fire. Two-and-a-half million users sign up every day,” said Pavel Durov, the Russian who founded the company alongside his brother Nikolai, in a rare interview with controversial right-wing US talk show host Tucker Carlson.

People “love the independence. They also love the privacy, the freedom, (there are) a lot of reasons why somebody would switch to Telegram”, Durov told Carlson.

The encrypted messaging app, based in Dubai, has positioned itself as an alternative to US-owned platforms, which have been criticised for their commercial exploitation of users’ personal data. Telegram has committed itself to never disclosing any information about its users.

Darren Beattie from Revolver had some interesting insights on Tucker’s deep dive into Telegram. He made a keen observation about how our country’s intelligence agencies have played a role in undermining America, which has fueled the popularity of platforms like Telegram. In other words, if the US government wants to know who “radicalized” Americans, perhaps they should look in the mirror.

[Repost from August 2020] Only a Brutal Purge of the Left Can Save Us

Still relevant.......

From my post The Green New Deal is Part of Democrat's Bolshevik Power Grab, I ended with the need for a full-on Leftist purge by President Trump using the Emergency Powers Act to round-up and prosecute the large numbers of traitorous and seditious persons in the Federal Government. I figured that this prescription really needs to be a unique post due to it's importance. 

The degree of corruption in Washington, on a scale of 1 to 10, is a 12. Nothing is working properly in Washington or the Fed. government. We can't even trust the Judicial system as so many appointees are Obama- or Hillary-loving political hacks. We don't have ANYTHING functioning in Washington. The vast majority of the "deep-state" in Washington (mostly Democrats) is committed to the treasonous removal and reversing the Constitutional election of Trump and preventing his re-election.

You have to understand that a subversive war is already underway RIGHT NOW in this country by the most devious, unsavory and power-mad people in the world. The fight is already on.

I propose that Trump invoke the Emergency Powers Act to bring in the military, military police and prosecutors to arrest all of the actors in the Russia Hoax scandal. They are all traitors. Jail them all. People like Hillary, Obama, Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller, Podesta, Rice, Brennan, Clapper, Strock, Page, Schiff and many others should be arrested for Treason or Sedition and/or other applicable crimes and sent to military trials. It has to be the military--since the US justice system is now totally failed as is every other part of the government. Only the military can be trusted now.

With the Emergency declaration, military police could seize control of the DOJ, CIA and FBI by locking down these entities, lock down the computers and servers, gather all significant information that they've been hiding, begin to interview and look to prosecute all of the traitors in these departments involved in betrayals. Everything would be locked down for investigation and for evidence.

There should have already been a torrent of indictments after so many years of investigation by the DOJ and CIA after the disastrous Jeff Sessions. The DOJ doesn't even "work"anymore. Nothing works in Washington except the money printers. Personally, I think the whole Federal colossus should be burnt to the ground to start over with a government based in St. Louis, MO for example.

The military should also be supervising this next election since it will likely be the most fraudulent election in American history. There should probably be military observers at every polling station. Trump should demand today that an audit-able paper trail be generated for every vote cast in every precinct so that election results in any district CAN BE AUDITED and validated. Put the Dems on notice NOW. If the election must be delayed for this plan to be implemented, then so be it.

I know that you think I'm being insanely radical here, but you have no idea of the desperation of the Democrats at this time. They desperately are trying to control the narrative thru the lying Media and plans are afoot to steal this election. From Martin Armstrong, he says that Podesta and other Democrats are planning scenarios to seize power:

They had four possible scenarios, which even include one that looked like 2016 where they would lose the Electoral College. Mr. Podesta played Mr. Biden, and he responded that his party wouldn’t let him concede as Hillary had done alleging voter suppression. Podesta then persuaded the governors of Wisconsin and Michigan to send pro-Biden electors to the Electoral College to change the vote.

They also played out a scenario where a Trump victory would lead to California, Oregon, and Washington moving to secede from the United States. He also played that if the Electoral College could not make a decision because of the delays from the mail-in votes, then the House leader, Pelosi, would name Mr. Biden president. The Senate and White House would reject that and support Mr. Trump. At that point, Podesta would turn to the military to remove Trump.

Never in the history of any election, has there ever been such a political war game played. This warns what our computer has been forecasting about the rise in civil unrest and the risk that this will prove to be the most corrupt election in American history.

Even Leftist leaders of sanctuary cities should also be arrested in this Leftist Purge, where they have knowingly obstructed Federal Law. Send troops into American cities that have been decimated by radical Leftist BLM, Antifa, governors and/or mayors.

The current Status Quo can not stand. This country must be saved from a Communists coup by violent and deadly purges of the treasonous, seditious opposition, if necessary. If Trump does what I propose, he'll go down in history as the 2nd Abraham Lincoln -- who similarly saved the union. We're in a civil war right now! Look around you!

[Updated] After Decades of Subsidies and Hysteria, Wind and Solar Power Contributes Just 6% Of Germany's Total Energy Requirements

When you search online for information regarding the penetration of “renewable” energy in Germany, you’ll get something like this:

Wow, Renewables make up 46% of their energy, that’s amazing! But it’s a bit misleading. What they mean that it’s 46% of their ELECTRICAL energy.

Many countries have hydro-electric power and Germany’s share is 4% of their ELECTRICITY total. In Germany, Biomass (wood) is 9% of their ELECTRICAL power. Does burning wood sound environmentally sound to you?

So, now that carbon-free Nuclear ELECTRICITY will be effectively gone in 2023, and replaced by coal or natural gas, only 37% of their ELECTRICITY is carbon-free (incl hydropower) — down From 50% carbon-free before nuclear was shuttered. Progress??

 Let’s look at the big energy picture in Germany. Refer to the Chart below:

Germany’s TOTAL Energy Picture 2022; 94% Fossil Fuels (After Nuclear Shut Down)

 From examining the Chart above, here’s the punchline: Wind and Solar are just a surprisingly paltry 6.1% of Germany’s TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMED. This after $100s of Billions of subsidies for solar and wind farms over decades.

Remember “Renewable” (Intermittent) Energy is a religion in Germany and has been for decades. And after $100s of Billions of subsidies for solar and wind, they fail to tell you that they must also subsidize CONVENTIONAL power plants because they are only partially-used but must remain online to “back up” the “Intermittents.” This is also necessary to keep all the conventional energy in business—since you need 100% backup to wind/solar.

That’s why German electricity costs 3X the cost of US power cost at $0.34/kW-hr (and rising). I read where, in one German state, the cost of power has been raised to $0.45/kW-hr immediately after all the Nuclear plants were shuttered. See below:

Europe Electricity Prices. The US Average Cost of Power has run $0.11 to $0.12 per Kw-hr in recent years (not sure what the average is in 2024)

Now that they’ve recently shut down all their remaining nuclear plants —while mandating electric cars, they’d better hurry up building something….. The truth is that those in power (no pun intended) don’t know what they’re doing.

What About US Renewables “Intermittents?”

From the Chart Below: “US Energy Consumption By Source and Sector, 2021,” Renewables are shown as 12.2 Quadrillion BTUs or 12% of our total energy sources. 73.5 Quads is our total end-use energy required.

Let’s say all 100% of that “renewable” energy is directly consumed by the “End-Use Sector” on the right (no thermodynamic losses like burning fossil fuels to make electricity). Then “renewable” energy is 12.2/73.5 x 100 or 16% of our end uses. Sounds good? It’s not bad.

US Energy Consumption by Sources and End Use and Sector, 2021

 

US Electrical Power Generation, 2021

But of that 12.2 Quads renewable, wind and solar (only) is 60% that or 7.3 Quads. Hydro and Biomass make up the remainder. Therefore, Wind and Solar is about 10% of USA’s total energy use. Good, I guess.

Therefore, as a rough estimation, Wind, Solar and Hydro is 16% of US total energy consumption  (12 Quads/73.5 Quads of end use). So, the US is actually doing BETTER than Germany with regard to wind and solar energy. AND we still have our Nuclear at about ~5% of our Total Energy1 (Germany today has ZERO Nuclear).

SO, TODAY, ABOUT 21% OF THE US TOTAL ENERGY IS CARBON-FREE THANKS TO NUCLEAR, WIND, SOLAR and HYDRO. Pretty good, but the path to Net Zero is impossible.

Remember, going forward to Electrical Generation And Grids and Must VASTLY Expand To Accommodate Transportation Loads if we are to convert even 50% of our transportation to electric. It’s not even be technically and practically feasible and it’s CERTAINLY not financially feasible. We’re talking $5+ Trillion and only 1/2 of our transport would be electric! For virtue signaling??

Net Zero is just crazy and it’s not going to happen because it’s not feasible, it won’t work and we can’t afford it.

Bogged-Down In Bullshit: The US is Now a "No Can Do" Country, Part 2

In my post Bogged Down in Bullshit: the US is a “No Can Do” Country, I discussed how the Mountain Valley Pipeline project, a natural gas pipeline to supply natural gas to N. Carolina, Virginia, the East Coast is still being built after being harassed and stymied by environmentalist “lawfare” for 10 years and is still not quite finished.

The opponents are hindering it due to ‘environmental’ reasons, saying “oh, but..but…but think of the carbon!” I hate to tell these idiots that no carbon literally equals no economy— no jobs, and a return to the economy and population of the US in 1890. The truth is that we’d be back in the Stone Age. That’s where we’re heading.

As I sit this morning, natural gas futures are $1.75 per 1000 cubic feet, which is dirt cheap. It’s priced at the equivalent energy content as $10 oil! What a bargain! Oil is pushing $90 per barrel this morning. Of course, this abundant natural gas is a by-product of our abundant US oil production.

The truth is that natural gas transmission lines should be constructed and massively extended into New York state and all of New England. There, they currently have to deal with much more expensive LPG truck deliveries and burning oil or electricity for heat in the winter. They could have safe, inexpensive and clean-burning natural gas if they wanted.

The Mountain Valley Project is just ONE project of THOUSANDS of projects that are “bogged-down in bullshit.” Nothing can get done in a timely manner.

Take the entirely green TransWest Express (high voltage) electrical transmission line. You see, Wyoming and other places on the high plains, have A LOT of wind.

Some seventeen years ago, that transmission line was proposed to link the power generated from wind farms in Wyoming to electricity grids in Las Vegas and SoCal. But all those wind projects have been on-hold for 17 frigging years while the above ground transmission line was “bogged-down in bullshit” until this year.

And this is true even though the $5 billion Trans-West Electrical transmission line is an entirely “green project.” If the transmission line is not available, then either Wind farms are idle or also not constructed. As I said in my recent post Bogged Down in Bullshit: the US is a “No Can Do” Country:

From the LA Times: “TransWest Express transmission line, which will move electricity from the $5-billion, 3,000-megawatt, 600-turbine Chokecherry and Sierra Madre wind farm in WY to Southern California, a place legally mandated to switch to clean energy. The wind farm(s) will be the country’s biggest yet.”

It took them all those years to get all the final permissions. SO AFTER 17 YEARS OF WASTED TIME, THEY JUST STARTED CONSTRUCTION this year. So there are many more years before the lines are energized. 

Now, we’re hearing that Biden’s $7.5 billion investment in EV charging stations has only produced 7 stations in two years since authorization and funding.

Resident Biden has vowed to build 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations in the United States by 2030. Those stations, the White House said, would help Americans feel confident purchasing and driving electric cars, and help the country cut carbon pollution.

But now, more than two years after Congress allocated $7.5 billion to help build out those stations, only 7 EV charging stations are operational across four states. (From the WaPo via MSN, the funding should be enough to build up to 20,000 charging spots or around 5,000 stations, according to analysis from the EV policy analyst group Atlas Public Policy.)

That’s 7 stations out of 5,000 proposed and budgeted. It’s only been too years, but I guarantee that nearly all of these stations won’t be built at all. The government and industry can’t do anything in a timely way.

Already demand for electric vehicles is already subsiding dramatically due the cost of the cars and their driving range and/or reliability in cold weather.

The so-called “Green Transition,” which is an enormously expensive boondoggle based on a hysterical misunderstanding of slight global warming, will not be possible. This is true because I say in my post Electrical Generation And Grids and Must VASTLY Expand To Accommodate Transportation Loads, the entire US power grid must be upgraded which would cost $5 TRILLION or more. That’s 1000s of big projects. It’s not going to happen, because nothing can happen in a timely way in this country.

Already there are a surprisingly abundant number of alternative “green” energy projects awaiting for grid modifications and connections. And at the current rate of progress, we’ll literally need 100 years to complete them. Of course, by then the US will be anything but united, definitely broke and/or completely collapsed or Balkanized or BACK TO THE STONE AGE.

From an excellent article A Silent Threat to the Energy Transition: America’s Broken Infrastructure Policy, indicates the extent to which alternative projects are UNAPPROVED. They said:

“There’s a massive gap between our efforts to transition to sustainable energy and our ability to make it happen. Countless examples and data points bear this out. Here are just a few:

1. The Inflation Reduction Act included hundreds of billions of dollars for solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, and other technologies to tackle climate change. Yet if we can’t build new transmission at a faster pace, around 80% of the emissions reductions expected from that bill might not happen, according to researchers at Princeton University’s Repeat Project. [Doug here— Read: IT WON’T HAPPEN]

2. At the end of 2022, there were over 10,000 projects in the U.S., most of them wind, solar, and batteries, waiting for permission to connect to the grid, up from 8,100 the year before, according to researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

3. In 2021, backlogged projects sitting in the queue represented 1,300 gigawatts of solar, wind, and battery projects – technically enough to supply about 80% of the country’s electricity demand. [Doug here: Remember, installed capacity and actual generation are two entirely different things. Solar is guaranteed offline for 1/2 of the day on average, so the installed capacity is double the delivered quantity of energy.]

4. Most energy storage projects never get built. A Clean Energy Group report found that “lengthening wait times and rising interconnection costs dramatically restrict the rate at which renewable generation and energy storage resources are installed.” This creates obstacles to hitting so many goals, including emissions reduction targets, renewable generation and energy storage procurement targets, and grid modernization plans.

5. California’s big three utilities may need to invest up to $50 billion by 2035 to upgrade their grids in order to meet the state’s ambitious electric vehicle goals. That’s a staggering sum, what is arguably the greenest and most forward-looking state regarding renewables, and it highlights the needs every state will face when tackling energy infrastructure investment.

A recent Department of Energy draft analysis cited “a pressing need for additional electric transmission,” especially between different regions. The McKinsey study framed it more dramatically: The U.S. grid will need to expand by 60% by 2030, and doing so would require “a mind-boggling acceleration of the typical ten-year capital project timeline. It is, arguably, a century of work to do in less than a decade.”

In my post Electrical Generation And Grids and Must VASTLY Expand To Accommodate Transportation Loads, I not only estimated that the US power grids will have to nearly double in capacity but we’ll require significant additional (and parallel) fossil fueled generating plants for back-up to the “intermittents.” I guesstimated the cost to do so would be $5 trillion. Of course, this estimate will balloon to $10 T or $20 T as everything drags on and delays and lawsuits halt progress.

Yes, 2050 will come and go and, if the US still exists, (which is doubtful) many or most of the “Green transition” ambitions will NOT be fulfilled. Owners of the MANDATED electric cars will be frequently in the dark for about 50 years waiting for new power lines.

Alternatively I’m guessing that electric cars owners will only be able to only charge between 12 am and 5 am, if then, and during all other times there will be huge penalty pricing. Suddenly, all the “cost advantages” of using electricity “fuel” vs. gasoline will go away. Bye bye electric cars for now.

A Relevant Repost from Aug 2020: "The Green New Deal Was the Democrat's Bolshevik Power Grab & Only a Brutal Purge of the Left Could Have Saved Us"

This may be one of my most important posts ever (updated at Substack and now here).

From Aug 19, 2020:

There is now a desperate effort by Democrats to steal this election, to gain power in order to institute a Socialist (or Bolshevik) Green New Deal.  It's a huge power grab to subvert your freedoms, take your guns (of course), take over the economy through higher taxation and controlling all aspects of your life. Democrats aim is to overthrow all of your freedoms by enshrining a radical Left-wing Socialist Green New Deal.  In a way, it's the Socialists last gasp, as Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and others are very elderly and on their way out. It really now or never.

This attempted Communist coup, currently underway in this country, has been gaining ground for quite a long time. The Left's agenda is really about control which slowly evolves into total control and power over your life, ie., Marxism or Bolshevism. 

First, let's put to bed the first and biggest lie of the Green New Deal.  Slight global warming can't be fixed and won't be fixed. Period. Just to halt the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere would require a gargantuan reduction of CO2 emissions of 50%. First, it can't be done. Even if it COULD be done, it would NOT roll back temperatures or CO2 -- just halt any more slight increases. Such reductions would cost $10s of Trillions in the US alone and cripple our finances and economy. Al Gore himself put the cost at $70 Trillion 20 years ago. With or without the spending, the effects on the climate would be imperceptible: A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.   It amounts to financial suicide. No country like China or India would commit economic suicide either -nor should they. 

Oh, and even if you could scrub power plant exhaust stacks (you can't), no one knows what to do with the massive volume of captured liquid, high pressure CO2. But there are basically zero people in the world who have even the slightest idea of any of this, least of all idiots like AOC.  They have no idea of what they are talking about. In a few decades the problem will fix itself as the end of the hydrocarbon era is already in sight. 

Back to the power-grab aspect of the "Green" New Deal:  from my post "'EPA Carbon Regulation Power Grab," I talk about the unlawful abuse of the Clean Air Act by the courts to regulate an essential and natural trace gas in the atmosphere, CO2. They did this under the phony guise that carbon dioxide is "harmful or threatening to human health."  But unlike other gases such as man-made sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide is an essential and naturally occurring trace gas at about 0.040% in air, and it's absolutely essential for all plant and crops that require it for their photosynthesis. To call such levels harmful to human or public health is a vast overstretch that must be reversed. But it's part of creeping Socialism/Communism and a huge power grab.  Notice that Left-leaning courts are all part of this creeping Bolshevism. (Add universities and schools of all levels to the institutions long-controlled by the radical Left.)

But in regulating CO2, it opens the door for bureaucrats to regulate every business in America to "enforce" CO2 emissions controls and new taxes. In my post Nice Sounding' Liberalism Leads to a Police State, I indicate that there would have to be a new, vast and costly Federal agency for "Carbon Emissions Policing" which would require armies of 20-something, know-nothing Socialists as carbon police with powers over every business, ranch, and any and all enterprises that use energy, ie., everyone.  All this for nothing, just raw power. 

Then, for Socialists, there would have to be "Equal Pay" police to stop the non-existent pay discrimination against women. And another phony cause, "Hate Speech" laws would require censoring all communications between every human by know-nothing 20-year olds to enforce only the "correct" speech, ie., against anything remotely "conservative" or against the approved Leftist Democrat talking points. 

We're already have this in spades at YouTube, Twitter, Google. Idiot little boys and girls sit in Silicon Valley and impose their idiot ideas on the masses. There is massive censoring against Conservatives, Conservatism or anything that contradicts the Left's agenda (lies) -- all to illegally manipulate the outcome of the next election. You know these little shit-heads are over their skiis when they muzzle Dennis Prager of all people, one of the most tolerant, educated and highest integrity man in this country.

And don't forget the never-ending pitch for the beauty of socialized medicine. We already have true socialized medicine at the Veteran's Administration: government owned and operated hospitals for veterans.  The result is always massive cost overruns and poor care: veterans have been dying due to higher rates of infection caused by unsanitary conditions and poor maintenance due to poor management. And don't forget that others are dying due to delays in treatment thanks to secret lists that delay treatment. Horror stories of poor care abound. Oh, and this poor performance is covered-up by the bureaucracy and hospital management that persecute any whistle-blowers brave enough to come forward. It's really an Orwellian nightmare. And because it's "government" it can never be fixed. Socialism can't be fixed!! There's no cure for stupid or Socialism.

Kamala's Medicare for all, really Medicaid-for-all, would impose all of problems at the VA for EVERYONE.  The result is total government tyranny over every aspect of your life.  This would provide justification of much higher taxes to pay for an even bigger government. Then, no one will be able to save money for retirement, so you'll become a "ward of the state" from cradle to grave (like Europe) where you depend on Government for your medical care and your retirement money. And if you don't like it, then you will be considered crazy like in the Soviet Union and institutionalized in psychiatric wards.  If you're conservative, medical treatment can be withheld entirely. Kamala, Bernie, AOC, Omar are all unabashed Communists who want power and money for themselves and a platform to impose their communist views on YOU.

Notice that everything about the Leftist agenda is a lie??  Everything is phony, false, lies, and propaganda with the Democrats. And since every corporate media outlet is controlled by the CIA and DNC, you have unending propaganda supporting all these lies. Every cause that the Democrats uphold are fake and all lies:  Black Lives Matter is all based on lies. Hands up, don't shoot was all lies. That the US is still a racist country is a lie. That police kill blacks disproportionately is a lie. What BLM stands for now is a lie. Welcome to Nigger Nation, where everything is a false meme, an outright lie or a manipulation. Communists are the greatest liars in human history and that's exactly what we have with the Democrats and we're seeing it every day in America.  

America is under attack by both internal and external globalist enemies to IMPOSE their loser world views on you and overturn freedoms guaranteed by the US Constitution. These people are all about power and control.  Of course, they know that only those in power have money in Socialism, so in reality, they are really trying to get rich AND impose their views. Most of these people are stupid or sociopaths and could barely survive in the real world because they are such idiots. Look at AOC, a dip-shit bartender, who thinks she's so brilliant, is a foolish know-it-all, truly an idiot, steeped in Socialism at University and completely full of shit.  She wants to rule YOUR life and impose her child-like ideas. This is Generalissimo Cortez, a little tyrant in the making. She's only one of many. 

Can't you see where Leftism and Democrats are headed? 

Only a Brutal Purge of the Left Can Save Us

I propose that Trump invoke the Emergency Powers Act to bring in the military, military police and prosecutors to arrest all of the actors in the Russia Hoax scandal. They are all traitors. Jail them all. People like Hillary, Obama, Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller, Podesta, Rice, Brennan, Clapper, Adam Schiff should be arrested for Treason or Sedition and/or other applicable crimes and sent to military trials--since the US justice system is now totally failed as is every other part of the government. Only the military can be trusted now.

With the Emergency declaration, military police could seize control of both the DOJ, CIA and FBI by locking down these entities, lock down the computers and servers, and begin to interview and look to prosecute all of the traitors in these departments involved in betrayals. Everything would be locked down for investigation and for evidence.

There should have already been a torrent of indictments after so many years of investigation by the DOJ after the disastrous Sessions. The DOJ doesn't even "work"anymore.

Armstrong: A Trump Landslide as Biden's Real Approval Rating is Only 8% Favorable

Interview summary From Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com April 2, 2024

Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong has new data on President Biden’s approval numbers.  Nearly two years ago, President Biden’s real job approval rating in America was just 12%.  More than one year ago, the real Biden approval number slipped to 9.5% (and stayed there) according to Armstrong’s world renowned “Socrates” predictive computer program.  Now, Biden’s rating tumbled again.  Armstrong says, “It is basically hovering around 7.5% to 8% at this stage. 

I know this goes against the mainstream media, but if you look at Google, it is really politically motivated. . . . The other number you need to look at is the confidence in government, and it is at 28%. . . . This number is unheard of since World War II.  (I have another confidential data miner source who backs up Armstrong’s numbers, including the latest 8% job approval number, with nearly identical Biden job approval numbers going back two years.  So, yes, there are two solid sources for Biden’s true approval rating.)

You will never see Biden’s real numbers on the Lying Legacy Media (LLM), but everybody at the top of the D.C. swamp knows how weak Biden really is.

What does this record low Biden approval rating mean?  Armstrong explains, “What you have to be concerned about is our computer is showing a massive panic cycle in September.  This is very curious because the Democrat convention is August 19^th. . . . At that convention, they can just draft somebody.  That has been the rumor for quite some time.  They know Biden is really quite pathetic.  The Neocons like him because they can do whatever they want.  The climate change people are doing the same thing.

The President is supposed to act as a referee in the cabinet, and he’s not even there 40% of the time.  The collapse in government is because all these agencies are just doing the wrong thing, and nobody is standing in-between.  You’ve got the State Department threatening World War III

The problem is a government will fail when you can’t sell the new debt to pay off the old.  That’s when a default comes. . . . That’s how a default takes place.  You have these Neocons in the State Department constantly trying to create WWIII.  Why would you buy a 10-year bond in the face of war?  Interest rates always go up in wartime.  We don’t have a President running as referee between all these agencies.”

Armstrong says, “Everything is pointing towards war.”

Armstrong sees an important turn date coming up and explains, “If we don’t have war, the Fed may do a rate cut after May . . . . I don’t see Powell doing a rate cut at this stage.  Our computers see the economy expanding into May, and the ideal peak is May 7^th.  After that, we are going to move into a recessionary atmosphere up to 2028.  It is an inflationary period, and inflation will be rising above economic growth, and that is stagflation.” in

On record high gold prices, Armstrong says, “Gold prices go up when confidence in government goes down. . . . I expect the gold price will be at least around the $5,000 per ounce level by 2027 or 2028.” 

The 2024 race, featuring Donald J. Trump, is shaping up to be the most lopsided race for the White House in history.  Armstrong explains, “Trump should win.  This data has even shocked me, and it’s been right on every election and even Brexit.  It’s basically showing, out of 6 models, it is showing four basically all for Trump, but two of them are showing absolute unbelievable landslides.  It’s showing 61% for Trump. . . .  The computer has never come up before with this complete gap . . . . In 2016, it showed Trump would win, but not overwhelming, but this one is absolutely stunning.”

A Landslide Victory for Trump in 2024—Even Democrat Cheating Won’t Derail Trump

From an interview with Martin Armstrong at Greg Hunter at USAwatchdog from January 23, 2024

Many say that they can stop Trump by cheating more than in 2020.  Armstrong is seeing that the margins are so big they cannot cheat enough to fill the gap.  Armstrong contends, “That’s the way it is shaping up.  If you look at the polls on confidence in government, even Europe is down to only 30% of the people trust government anymore.  We are looking at a serious collapse in the confidence of government on every level you want to look at.  Our computer also shows that this election is not going to be accepted by the other side. . . . Honestly, I have never seen our computer project such a landslide. . . . The Biden Administration, in all honesty, is a complete disaster.”

Armstrong says interest rates are going to continue to edge up along with the federal debt.  Armstrong points out, “If you pay attention, Fed Head Jay Powell came out in the beginning of December, and he actually said, ‘The spending is unsustainable.’  The Federal Reserve does not criticize the current administration.  For him to say this, you know it is getting bad.  This says the Fed knows we have a problem here.  The higher rates go, the more unstable the banks become. . . . We are in a sovereign debt crisis now.”

How will they pay all this back?  Armstrong says, “I think they want to deliberately start a war, and the way they get out of the debt crisis . . . . I think they will refuse to pay all the debt that China holds.  That’s it.  Any enemy that holds US debt, they are simply not going to pay it.”

Armstrong also says there is a plan to run Michelle Obama in place of Joe Biden for President in 2024.  Again, Armstrong says that is not going to stop a Trump landslide.  There is also talk of the UN and the WHO taking control of the world in the next medical crisis or pandemic.  Armstrong’s computers do not see that working out either.  Armstrong does see a peak in global disease and sickness in 2026.  Armstrong points out that could be a combination of the nearly 14 billion global CV19 vax injections and some new disease unleashed on the public, too.  Armstrong also sees a Deep State that is so desperate to beat Trump that “it will start a war in August or September” just before the November election.  Armstrong says that the Deep State is so evil that even if Trump does win, they will get him involved in a world war that will not be easy to walk back.  Armstrong says the biggest fear his global clients have is World War III getting started before Trump can get back into office.”

Democrats Are the Evil Architects of the Election Steal in 2020; Blacks Were the 'Muscle'

Democrats Are the Evil Architects of the Election Steal; Blacks Were the 'Muscle' IN DETROIT

From "The Election Fraud in Detroit: They Did Not Want Us to See What's Happening" from The Federalist :

“When I was in the room it was very clear that we were outnumbered, I would say three to one,” Nesbitt said. Republican and Democrat poll challengers have different types of credentials, making it easy to tell how many Democratic challengers there were compared to Republican. Nesbitt estimates there were about 1,200 people in the hall but only about fifty or sixty GOP poll challengers—not enough to cover all of the tables where ballots were being counted.

Even so, when these Republican poll challengers came into the hall, the ballot-counting stopped. “It wasn’t too long after I got into the room that it became very apparent that there was no rush to be counting anything,” Nesbitt said. “For about four hours, over ninety percent of the counting boards had no activity.”

Asked why they stopped, Nesbitt replied, “I believe that they were trying to wait for us to leave, because we had an influx of volunteers who came into the room following the union members.”

"The ballot-counters were also not allowing Republican poll challengers to observe the ballot supplication process.  But whenever Republican observers were present, said Nesbitt, “They would position their bodies in the way, and other election, workers at that counting board would position their bodies in the way, to prohibit us from being able to witness what was happening. If a GOP observer raised a concern about this, they were kicked out.

Soon after the Associated Press called the state of Michigan for Joe Biden, a chaotic scene erupted inside the Detroit convention center.

Police barred Republicans and Democratic poll challengers from entering a room where Detroit ballots were being counted. A group identified as Republicans chanted “stop the count” as they were met by police, who shielded the doors of the city’s TCF Center."

Black People Barred White Republicans from Entering Vote Counting Room

"Despite that Detroit is a majority Black city, videos from the scene show the protesters were white. For Woods, the altercation “said a lot” about the state of the country.

Election workers stayed in the room all night and counted ballots while the white people outside banged on the windows and yelled at them, she says. And the protesters were “irate” as they yelled at Woods when she came out to talk to them, she says."

Not only did black thugs chase away white Republican election observers but they badly outnumbered White Republicans.  AND all these blacks were deeply committed to defrauding the vote count. 

Black People Barred Mostly White Republicans from Entering Vote Counting Room

Democrats Are the Evil Architects of the Election Steal; Blacks Were the 'Muscle' In ATLANTA

From Gatewaypundit  Election Worker Ralph Jones Is Now Second Worker Caught Double-Counting Ballots at the State Farm Center

"A new report confirms Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman was not the only leftist operative double counting stacks of ballots in Atlanta on election night. Top Atlanta election official Ralph Jones was also double scanning ballots late at night at the State Farm Center in Atlanta, Georgia on election night."

Cheaters Ruby, Shaye and Ralph at the State Farm Center Atlanta

Note the predominance of black "vote counters (ie., defrauders)" in the counting rooms in all the key cities in all of key swing states in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Detroit and Atlanta. Not only did black thugs chase away election observers but they were deeply committed to defrauding the vote count.   

Wonderful, trustworthy people, aren't they??

Again from Gatewaypundit: "Ralph Jones was the person who sent home all of the election observers.  Then his crew, including Ruby and daughter Shaye, went to work on election night!

Just the News released an explosive report on Thursday night exposing massive fraud in the Fulton County Georgia 2020 presidential election:

"A handpicked contractor in the State Farm Arena, Carter Jones from Seven Hill Strategies, wrote a 29-page memo back in November outlining the “massive” election integrity failures and mismanagement that he witnessed in the Atlanta-area’s election centers."

"In the 29-page report Carter Jones tells of two more instances where the election officials were double-scanning votes late at night after the election observers and news media was sent home!

Just before 11:30 p.m., Jones notes “confusion about whether or not they’re still scanning at State Farm bc there were reports that the staff there told the rest of the staff and press to leave, but I am still getting number reports.” Jones later arrives at State Farm Arena just before midnight and finds “staff are still scanning on all five scanners.”

About twenty minutes later, Jones observes: “Order is starting to break down[.] Ralph newly re-scanned some ballots that had already been processed by Shaye.”

That was not the only instance in which Jones claims to have witnessed potential double-scanning of ballots. Observing counting on the second day after the election, Jones wrote of a machine that had “shut down because it was causing more problems than it was solving.”

“Double-feeding and cutting through both the envelope and the ballot, which leads to even more duplicates,” he said."

"Then, to establish the steal, the counting center told the Republicans to go home at 10:30.  They concocted the bullshit water leak story.  David Shafer, Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, said in 2 tweets:

Fulton County elections officials told the media and our observers that they were shutting down the tabulation center at State Farm Arena at 10:30 p.m. on election night only to continue counting ballots in secret until 1:00 a.m.

No one disputes that Fulton County elections officials falsely announced that the counting of ballots would stop at 10:30 p.m. No one disputes that Fulton County elected officials unlawfully resumed the counting of ballots after our observers left the center."

The Gateway Pundit was first to report that Ruby Freeman was also seen double scanning stacks of ballots at the State Farm Center in Atlanta, Georgia after observers were sent home on election night.

Remember the vote count was halted in five key swing states at the same time.  Election workers were told to go home in Atlanta due to  a PHONY LIE that there was a water leak. That was total bullshit. 

Everything is a phony lie in this Country.

Hamas Founder’s Son: U.S. Gaza Supporters Belong in 'Insane Asylum'

From PJ Media

The son of one of the terrorist group Hamas’s cofounders has a message for Americans and the world: most Palestinians support Hamas, the terrorists want to commit ethnic cleansing against Jews, and any Americans who support Gaza are insane.

Mosab Hassan Yousef is a Palestinian ex-militant who defected to Israel in 1997, thereafter working as an undercover agent for the Shin Bet until he moved to the United States in 2007. His father is Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a co-founder of Hamas.

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas cofounder Shiehk Hassan Yousef, dropped some major truth bombs while on Dr. Phil's show recently. He explained how there is “lots of hatred” against Jews in Islamic culture, according to a transcription by Breitbart, and stated “the vast majority” of Palestinians support Hamas, a fact confirmed by a recent poll. Indeed, Yousef argued, the Hamas atrocities of Oct. 7 were “an attempt for ethnic cleansing” and a “holy war” against Jews. While hatred for Israel binds different factions of Palestinians together now, in the absence of Israel, Yousef said, the Gazan Arabs “would kill each other” just as they would happily kill many of the foolish Westerners marching in support of their bloody cause.

 He also mocked pro-Palestinian activists for “giving Hamas cover,” saying the terror group would “massacre them with no mercy” while accusing them of supporting “the enemy of civilization,” and insisting they belong in a “mental asylum.”

The violence perpetrated by Hamas ended up disturbing Yousef so much that he not only broke with the jihad group but also helped Israeli intelligence, Breitbart explained. Yousef also converted to Christianity.

“There’s lots of hatred in [Muslim] culture against the Jewish people; it’s not a secret,” Yousef said. “In fact, the Muslim belief system has a fundamental problem with the Jewish people.” Muslim hatred for Jews is “ideological,” based on a belief in Muhammed’s negative view of Jews, he argued. While Yousef said that “Muhammad did not write a word that says anything against the Jewish people,” it is true that Islamic scriptures include verses that support killing Jews specifically and non-Muslims more generally.

[Doug here: the brother of Mosab, Suheib Yousef, also defected to Israel in 2019. Both brothers continue to work with Israel]

Yousef praised Israel as “the most amazing, most productive, and most successful nation in the world that doesn’t harm anyone else.” Motivators behind the animus against Israelis include “hatred, human delusion…envy [and] anger.”

Yousef said that Hamas on October 7 “succeeded in ethnically cleansing close to twenty Jewish communities, and this shows you their intention: they want to dominate.”  He added, “In Islam, to kill for Allah is a way of worship.” Palestinians glorify terrorism and encourage children to be jihadis, with the help of the UNRWA agency, Yousef said. He knows from personal experience. “This is practically what [my father] did in real life. When he had to choose between the cause and his own son who saved his own life,” Yousef shared. “In fact, I sacrificed everything to save his life, and my reward was to be disowned, shunned, and he publicly stated that my blood is allowed [to be spilled].” Ideology trumped everything.

Dr. Phil deplored how supportive students and faculty at American Ivy League institutions have been of the Palestinian jihadis, before playing Yousef’s response, per Breitbart. Yousef critiqued the ignorance and foolishness of these academics. “To all those students, I say that it’s very disappointing to see Americans supporting Hamas and thinking that Hamas is a cool thing, while Hamas does not respect any of those followers,” he said. “While those followers don’t know that Hamas would torture them and massacre them with no mercy. They [Hamas] call them [American supporters] useful idiots. They don’t know that Hamas is a dark, black hole.”

As a former Palestinian child, he emphasized, he understood what he said, unlike the U.S. “idiots” desperate for any cause or purpose. Yousef was “outraged” at the “insanity” of supporting the enemy of Israel and “of civilization.” Pro-Palestinian protesters like the activists arguing with him on Dr. Phil’s show should have condemned “such a monster that just committed ethnic cleansing against innocent people, then kidnapped hundreds of hostages, then used their own people as human shields.” But they didn’t.

Dr. Phil brought up how the Hamas charter expresses genocidal aims against Israel and the Jews. Yousef went a step further, accusing all pro-Palestinians of guilt in Hamas’s terrorism. “In fact, since October 7, I personally don’t differentiate between Hamas and what’s so-called Palestinians because actually, there are no Palestinians; there are tribes,” he stated. The “reality” is that “If they did not have Israel as the common enemy, they would kill each other.”

One activist then tried to accuse Yousef of using “colonial rhetoric.” Yousef said the activist does not understand “what Palestine is.”

 “The vast majority of the Palestinian people support Hamas," he said. "This is a fact,” he continued, accusing the activist of repeating Hamas propaganda. “[B]ecause if you were a decent human being, you could say that the thousands killed on October 7, that was a crime against humanity. It was genocide.”

After the Oct. 7 atrocities, Yousef had a sobering warning: “This is my message as an ex-Hamas member, as a son of one of Hamas’ founders: enough of this. If we don’t stop them now, the next war is going to be deadlier, and only God knows what will happen next if Hamas is not finished as soon as possible.”

Putin's Historic Role in Rebuilding Russia and Russian Culture, Part 2

Part 1 is here: Putin's Historic Role In Rebuilding Russia and Russian Culture

Full-on totalitarianism is rapidly sweeping The West—mainly in the Anglo countries: EU, US and Canada but also in many other Western nations. Led by the Neo-fascists at the WEF, who due to their tentacles in nearly all Anglo and Western country’s governments and media—liberal democracy, our laws and are famous traditions are in free-fall. Gone are free and fair elections. Gone is freedom of speech, especially in Europe and the UK. Gone is law and order too. It’s a Leftist/Communist coup and it’s happening today and every day.

Easter has been suddenly replaced with “Transgender Day of Visibility” proclaimed by the puppet-masters behind our dementia-addled Resident who was installed through blatant election fraud thanksto those same puppet-masters. The obsession with drag queens, gay persons and transgendered persons is apparently all they’ve got even though transgendered persons represent about 0.03% of the US population and gay persons are only something around 2 to 4% of the population. It's really just more “Agitate, Agitate, Agitate” per The Guide for Radicals.

Instead, in an entirely inverted and manufactured reality, created by globalists, the DNC and radical Leftists— ordinary Americans and especially Christian and conservative Americans are being unfairly slandered as homophobic (Islamiphobic, Xenophobic, etc, etc.) and even terroristic.

Here’s The UK’s ‘The Guardian’ from 2020 proclaiming and LYING:

Far-right terror poses bigger threat to US than Islamist extremism post-9/11(WTF?!)

and says that

“Since the 9/11 attack, far-right extremists killed more people in the US than did American-based Islamist fundamentalists.”

“Donald Trump’s presidency was bookended with two of the ugliest outbursts of white nationalist violence in 21st century America – the 2017 far-right rally in Charlottesville and the 2021 storming of the US Capitol by his extremist supporters to sabotage the election results.”

Citizen and candidate Trump is beseiged by blatant lawfare and election interference from so-called prosecutors, seemingly all black women, who are clearly bought and paid-for by Soros and other manipulators, are puppets and nitwit affirmative-action hires. Therefore they are obligated to slander, libel, misrepresent and do the work of our Bolshevik regime, Globalist elites, the DNC and allied corporations. Law (and order) in America is being intentionally broken down in a communist-like Coup d’Etat.

For example, just yesterday, after Trump correctly criticized the insane push to allow 6 or 11 year old prepubescent children (ie., their parents, their doctors and for-profit hostpital corporations) to immediately begin puberty-blocking hormones and scheduling sex reassignment surgery in a frenzied rush, Trump is again scapegoated by falsehoods:

All Mainstream News is “Government” Newspeak

The truly authoritarian ideology of the left in The West are criminalizing speech and political dissent amongst ordinary citizens. See The UK Going Full Orwell- As Police Arrest 3300 Citizens for Internet 'Thought Crimes.

The entire “West” is gunning for War against “evil” Putin and the Russians to assist their agenda of unending power. If The West had just not intervened in the Ukrainian election in 2014 or just honored The Minsk accords, there would be no war drums. The US CAUSED THIS WAR. It’s all driven by insane Neo-cons who have hijacked our government. THEY WANT WAR. PERIOD. And they want to conquer Russia (and it’s energy), and Iran and China. Did I mention that they are insane?

And they want war before the 2024 election, as the puppets pulling the strings of our president have disrupted our country, our laws and culture. I don’t need to enumerate the various Leftist agenda items and talking points. And they want a one-party state that is attainable if the White population becomes a minority. See Democrat Open Borders Plan to Entrench Single-Party Rule for an explanation of one their devious and destructive strategy.

You have radically increasing tyranny in the US under the "Biden Junta" and by the entirely undemocratic EU "leadership." As so often happens, “Leader-puppets” in the West call Vladimir Putin "Hitler" in a strange psychological projection of their own mental states. I have many times called the 2020 stolen election and the DNC/Globalist Coup d'etat in the US in 2020 as our Bolshevik revolution.

Russia’s Rebirth

As people lose their minds in the West, Russia and Russian people are enjoying the ‘springtime’ of the rebirth of their country and culture that was destroyed/ravaged by 80 years of totalitarian communism and their reign of terror. They are being led by the greatest leader in Russian history; Vladimir Putin.

In 2020 Putin became president of Russia and has nearly single-handedly brought back freedoms, economic prosperity, and has intentionally, even lovingly, worked to restore and teach lost generations their own history and the history of their culture by his example. No one else could have done this. See Putin's Historic Role In Rebuilding Russia and Russian Culture.

 Take a look at this video of a new Church in Moscow—all actively supported by Putin’s government: 

 

Putin is hated and slandered in The West, he’s reviled by The West BECAUSE THEY are plotting to fight Russia to get their hands on their enormous natural resources. They need US citizens to hate Putin to accomplish this.

See my posts Putin's Historic Role In Rebuilding Russia and Russian Culture, The West Is Collapsing As Russia is Rising, More Evidence That Russia Is Rising as The West is Collapsing. The Conflict Between the West and Russia Is (Now) a Religious/Cultural One Now that Russia and Putin have restored the Orthodox Church, revived and restored Russian culture, he is 10 times more popular than Macron or Biden.

You see, although historically part of Europe, Russia has never had a Liberal Democracy that The West had. It was always Czars and Czarinas. Then came 80 years of a Communist nightmare following their Bolshevik and Russian revolution in 1919/20.

Putin is the greatest hero of Russia ever. Why do you think he got 87% of the votes in the recent election? If you think I'm crazy, then consider yourself tricked and brainwashed, then follow that hyperlink just above.

Oh Boy, RFK Jr. Shows his True Colors

From Revolver News:

An interesting shift has occurred: RFK Jr. appears to have pivoted away from targeting “Trump supporters” with his anti-vaccine and anti-Ukraine jargon and is now embracing his much more natural looney progressive stance, likely in an effort to consolidate the radical left-wing vote. This strategy seems logical when you think about it. Taking on Trump’s solid base might seem like a dead end, but the real opportunity for RFK Jr. lies in cutting into Biden’s fragile support—a scenario desperate Dems hardly need or want.

The Wall Street Journal’s political analysis suggests that this VP pick is turning out to be a boon for Trump and a headache for Biden. Just take a look at how Trump’s polling lead ticks up whenever RFK Jr. enters the mix.

Intelligencer:

Kennedy was obviously drawing some votes from both major-party candidates, and he still is. But more recent polling has most often shown him helping Trump more than Biden, both nationally and in the battleground states. The RealClearPolitics polling averages nationally now show Trump leading Biden by 1.6 percent (46.6 to 45.0 percent) in a two-candidate race, and by 5.4 percent (40.7 to 35.3 percent, with Kennedy at 12.3 percent) in a three-candidate race. There isn’t much battleground state polling of a three-candidate race, but we do have ample numbers for a five-candidate race, with Kennedy’s support dwarfing that of Jill Stein and Cornel West combined. These polls tell a similar tale of Kennedy boosting Trump marginally. In the RCP averages, Trump’s lead grows from 5.2 to 6.0 percent in Arizona, 5.2 to 7.4 percent in Georgia, 3.0 to 6.0 percent in Nevada, 4.4 to 6.7 percent in North Carolina, 0.2 to 2.0 percent in Pennsylvania, and 0.8 to 2.7 percent in Wisconsin (Michigan is an outlier with Trump’s lead dropping slightly — from 3.5 to 2.8 percent — when the other candidates are added in).

President Trump is leading Biden in nearly every poll, and honestly, this shouldn’t surprise anyone. Under Grandpa Joe, the country’s turned into an absolute dumpster fire—like everything’s gone sideways and upside down.

And speaking of Trump, here’s his latest scathing analysis of RFK Jr.’s campaign:

With a campaign already being dragged down by a senile, buffoonish candidate, the last thing Democrats need is some radical pulling off progressive PR stunts. This is exactly what RFK’s “VP event” was—complete with drum-playing Indian tribes and the announcement of a filthy rich globalist harpy running mate named Nicole Shanahan.

Perfect. Send in the clowns.

ZeroHedge: 

What do we know of Ms. Shanahan?

Not much, except that she is a philanthropist to largely progressive causes and that she is very rich.

She reportedly helped pay for Mr. Kennedy’s Super Bowl ad to the tune of $4 million via a Super PAC. The ad got mixed reviews and ended up with the candidate apologizing to his family

How rich Ms. Shanahan really is is unclear, but it is clear the bulk of her money comes from her divorce from Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google and, depending on the source, the ninth richest man on the planet.

RFK Jr’s campaign had been luffing and needed a boost. He looked to the financial. It’s hard to blame him, because that’s the putrid state of American politics. But if you’re trying to run an honest broker campaign against corrupt traditional parties, it’s not the best approach. It’s actually a turn-off.

This is rather sad because of the optimism and excitement he initially engendered.

It was said that much of RFK Jr’s appeal was with the more libertarian right, not the increasingly leftist Democrats. I thought that was accurate. I would imagine that unfortunately those days are over if the nomination of the “progressive” Ms. Shanahan is real. Who will RFK Jr. appeal to now?

These cringe-worthy developments ought to serve as a massive wake-up call for so-called “conservatives” who cooled on Trump and fooled themselves into thinking RFK Jr.’s anti-vax stance somehow made him a viable “centrist” candidate. Well, as it turns out, RFK couldn’t resist going “full radical.” He may have attempted to come across as a relatable centrist, but that fake facade didn’t last long. Now, he’s beclowning himself on stage, flanked by drumming Indians and his VP wannabe, some high-falutin, uber-wealthy Silicon Valley lawyer.

Here’s what conservative pundit and popular podcaster Charlie Kirk had to say about the embarrassing moment:

RFK’s vice presidential announcement event opened with a “land acknowledgment” of the Muwekma Ohlone Indian tribe. These land acknowledgments are used by radicals to delegitimize the existence of the United States and the people who settled it, and to demand sweeping legal and financial privileges for these tribes at the expense of the American people.

First off, it’s a historical fact that nearly every society has faced conquest at some point. “In fact, virtually every person on Earth lives on “stolen land.”

Japan, Korea, and Thailand are the only nations that dodged European colonization. Like it or not, conquest is part of human nature. It might be high time we accept that fact and move forward. Additionally, maybe it’s time to rethink the whole strategy of parading “drumming Indians” on stage just to demonize America and score some progressive brownie points. Aside from that, Democrats can’t be thrilled about RFK Jr. veering so far left. Pulling these stunts doesn’t do much to Trump’s base, but it poses a real headache for Biden. If RFK keeps leaning into this, he’s bound to peel away a chunk of Biden voters—the ones craving more progressive action and those put off by Biden’s age, seeing him more as an “Alzheimer’s patient” in a suit than a president. It’s a tightrope walk that could end up tipping the scales big time, and that’s why Democrats are in trouble. They’re not just fighting President Trump; they’re also fighting RFK Jr.

Sure, Kennedy is starting to come off as a major Bozo to those on the right, but to the lukewarm progressives, he probably seems like a much-needed breath of fresh air.
