So, The FBI Is Clearly Dirty And Rogue… What Are You Going To Do About It?
The power to clean house– “drain the swamp”, if you will– IS in your hands. You’ve just got to stand up, acknowledge the very real crisis, overcome your conditioned docility, and implement the solution– as has been done by the folks we celebrate at the end of this commentary.
LAST WEEK WE WERE ALL TREATED TO THE “DURHAM REPORT”– half-hearted and mealy-mouthed, but a crystal-clear indictment of the leadership and culture in the FBI. The report illuminated many important things.
For instance, the report reveals that “Russiagate” allegations and the related investigations, smears and political encumbrances by which the (like-it-or-not) duly-elected Donald Trump was systematically hindered, demonized, and kept from executing his mandate were 100% baseless and were contrived purely (it is obvious) for the purpose of imposing those hindrances and that demonization. This admission enters public view a week after the one by former acting CIA director Mike Morrell that the October, 2020, letter issued by Morrell and 50 other former Intelligence (sic) community officials smearing the Hunter Biden laptop revelations as a Russian disinformation-op was a deliberate election-rigging plot concocted by Biden campaign officials and enacted with these co-conspirator deep state creatures.
Together, these two admissions unmistakably and indisputably reveal an insurrection– an assault on the established political order by which the attempt is made to undo the outcome of a valid election (in 2016) and to illegally fix the outcome of an upcoming election (in 2020). It is this actual insurrection (the ongoing commission of which was obvious to anyone paying attention) that was being protested by most of those on hand in Washington on January 6 (leaving aside the false-flag agents-provocateur also on hand to engage in violence and give the affair the texture needed to exploit it properly as a Reichstag-fire affair and move the public focus off the actual insurrectionists).
Together, these two admissions also make clear that several federal agencies– most prominently the FBI, but also the CIA, NSA and others– have become thoroughly politicized. These agencies are no longer dispassionate and objective mission-minders. Instead, they have become partisans with an agenda independent from their lawful purposes and authorities, using the dangerous powers with which they have been entrusted to illegally act on behalf of some favored ideological interests and against disfavored others even to the point of overturning or engineering American elections.
Is this ok with you?

A Few More SOTFPWTWGB Thoughts
…that is, continuing to sit-on-the-front-porch-and-watch-the-world-go-by thoughts, this time on the need to replace “transphobe” with a fitter term; the ‘Cleopatra’ embarrassment; and the emerging backstory on the defenestration effort against Tucker Carlson.
WE NEED A REPLACEMENT for the “phobic” in terms like “transphobic” There are two problems with that formulation: 1. It implies a fear of “trans” victims; and 2. It suggests that it is the so-called “transphobic” person that is mentally ill, as in “suffering from a phobia”. Both of these implications are incorrect.
The reality is that the so-called “transphobic” person is revolted by “trans” ideology, its delusionally loud and proud victims, and its downright evil advocates, exploiters and enablers (and, of course, it is those who imagine anyone capable of being other than the gender dictated by their DNA who are mentally ill).
America needs someone to coin the better term with a proper ending reflecting that revulsion– someone with more than my rudimentary knowledge of Latin. I hope a good scholar in the field takes care of this promptly, and I hope to be the second person to learn the new, improved descriptor.

The Impending Thermidor Reaction In Jacobin America
At peak woke, our reign of terror is beginning to lose momentum because its continuation would destroy all the work of 247 years of American progress and sacrifice.
by Victor Davis Hanson
The decade-long French Revolution that broke out in 1789 soon devolved into far more than removing the monarchy, as it became antithetical to the earlier American precedent. American notions of liberty and freedom were seen as far too narrow, given the state, if only all-powerful and all-wise, could mandate “equality” and force “fraternity” among its subjects.
Each cycle of French revolutionary fervor soon became more radicalized and cannibalistic—until it reached its logical ends of violent absurdity.
Originally, the idea of curbing the power of a Bourbon king through a parliamentary republic became lethally counter-revolutionary.
Soon even attacks on the Catholic Church and the abolition of the monarchy entirely were deemed insufficient. The king himself and his consorts had to be beheaded. Monasteries and churches were to be ransacked, and priests exiled or lynched.
The sometimes moderate Girondins, who favored constitutional government, were mostly executed by their former friends among the Montagnards. In turn, the latter were soon deemed too conservative for the emerging crazy Jacobins. So they, too, had to be decapitated. The ensuing year-long reign of terror guillotined thousands of innocents, deemed guilty of being guilty of something.
By 1793, the revolution had turned nihilist and suicidal. The foundational date of France was recalibrated (not as 1619 but) as 1789—or “year one.”
Jacobins sought to wipe out religion, both materially and spiritually. They replaced God, first, with the atheistic “Cult of Reason” and then a stranger still “Cult of the Supreme Being”—a dreamed-up, living, humanistic god that only the murderous Robespierre could fully envision, but eerily similar to our own Green New Deal deity.
The months of the year themselves were renamed, the days of the week renumbered and relabeled. Statues were toppled, first at night, later in shameless daylight. Place names were erased and renamed. The original revolutionary heroes were not to be mentioned; their uncouth successors deified. Money was printed to “spread the wealth”—until it was worthless.
Murderous cancel culture ran unchecked. Yesterday’s French revolutionary became today’s counterrevolutionary—and tomorrow’s decapitated.

“I confidently trust that the American people will prove themselves…too wise not to detect the false pride or the dangerous ambitions or the selfish schemes which so often hide themselves under that deceptive cry of mock patriotism: ‘Our country, right or wrong!’ They will not fail to recognize that our dignity, our free institutions and the peace and welfare of this and coming generations of Americans will be secure only as we cling to the watchword of true patriotism: ‘Our country–when right to be kept right; when wrong to be put right.'”
-Senator Carl Schurz, October 17, 1899
