Accusing Trump of colluding with the Russians was a preemptive effort by Hillary Clinton to immunize her from public examination of her own sketchy relationship with Putin’s empire. This is just one of the ways that Progressives accuse conservatives of what they’ve been doing to deflect analysis of their own activities. So, what was the real motivation for the raid of Mar-a-Lago?

Another take on Bill: “I don’t understand how they can ….”
Two words: Cain & Abel (alright, that’s technically three words). Pondering this same exasperating mystery of human behavior in the context of current events, I re-read that bit of the Bible for the umpteenth time and it was clear that Abel did absolutely nothing to deserve his brother’s wrath. The entire toxic cocktail developed – needlessly – in Cain’s head, And he just wouldn’t leave it alone. Sadly, I can imagine the last expression on Abel’s face as “WTF-!?”
Remember when the Demoncrats locked those other people out not allowing them to see what was going on in five or six counties a couple of Novembers ago? Remember? They were Republican election observers and election officials…Now why would they do that too? Hmmm.
Posted before finishing the show lol. GMTA? perhaps?
They’re not addicted to spending. The communists are inflating our currency to destroy us and lining their own pockets. Same thing the communists have been doing for years to destroy us. They just accelerated the process:
“Taxation, with its offspring inflation, is the vital weapon to displace the system of free enterprise.”…..
-Vladimir Lenin, Founder of the Soviet Union
“By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate secretly and unobserved an important part of the wealth of their citizens. Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch its currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”
– John Maynard Keynes, Fabian Socialist

Agenda 2: Masters of Deceit (Curtis Bowers, YouTube, 8 min)

I’m past the disappointment and betrayal felt when the RINO’s didn’t challenge the stolen 2020 election. We’re at war, and this just added fuel to an already burning fire of anger which propels me to do everything I can peacefully to rip the commie bastards out of the guts of our government and “reimagine” our country without them while recording this for all of history so it never, EVER happens again. We can do that you know, and that’s what scares the left. They couldn’t beat us with force in WWI or WWII but relied this time on deception, subversion and secrecy.
I’ll bet at least some of them created our intel agencies in 1947 knowing they’d be able to use them one day to appoint fellow commies to work against us. In that same video by Dan Bongino, the FBI veteran states that we haven’t fired top military brass for incompetence since 1947.
Eisenhower issued his warning about the military-industrial-congressional complex (original draft of the speech) in 1961.
Then we had the radicals of the 60’s and the Gulf of Tonkin false flag to start Vietnam War in 1964.
Then the dependency of the welfare state and Nixon taking us off the gold standard in 1971.
Then the indoctrination through schools and the communist-founded environmental movement to use climate change as a means of control,
Etc., etc., etc….
Reply to Bill “I don’t understand how they can ….”;
We humans are not rational calculators, dispassionately looking at evidence and coming to logical conclusions …. you know this …. but the detail of what this means functionally for our decision making process is key.
You, me, everyone …. We ALL decide things based on how we feel, (driven by our subconscious desires), not how we think, with our conscious mind being nothing more than a mechanism to justify the decision our subconscious has already made.
When you buy a car … you have to FORCE yourself to look at the facts and figures, gas milage, service intervals, etc …. but in reality, you just WANT that one. Overcoming that ‘I want’ is very hard, and the brain comes up with all sorts of reasons why the one it wants is the best … And once you have bought it, and that subconscious desire is sated …. you are left with nothing but, “why the hell did i buy this?”. (yes, this is the mechanism of buyers remorse)
What does this mean for politics?
What are our base desires, power, resources, sex, status ….
Take taxation… we know from the wok of Arthur Laffer, that the peak rate of total taxation, that which nets the government the most axes in the long run, is approximately 25%. Why then is the tax rate across the west FAR higher than that, such that the state takes in far less money than it could and the people are far poorer than they would otherwise be? This is similar to you point about lockdowns and mask mandates – they do it because it satisfies their desire for power, so they can be sure they are better than you and me. They do not consciously say, “I will raise taxes to demonstrate to myself that I have dominion over these surfs!”, no, the subconscious is telling them, “you are better than them, you deserve to control them, you are the master – DEMONSTRATE YOUR POWER OVER THEM!!” … and their conscious mind comes up with the justifications they need to satisfy their desires. It is also why they want gun control … they go into politics because they want power over others, and gun control one means for them to achieve that sense of dominance they so crave. If that were not the case, why would they ever consider banning body armor?
So “How can they?”, … they are simply unaware of what they are doing and why.
Lets take the extreme of despicable behaviors;
It was not Mao that personally murdered those tens of millions of Chinese, he had legions of followers putting the policies into practice and they were all convinced that they were going to bring about utopia. And because they are bringing about a glorious new world of plenty, anyone who opposes them or who didn’t also work to that goal, must be pure evil and they deserve anything they get. That is the conscious justification for their actions – but those justifications are merely what they tell themselves to satisfy their base drive to gain resources for themselves and to dominate others – there is a reason Marx / Hitler / Progressives train people to feel the grievances toward others and select those most envious and hateful to do ‘the dirty work’. But let me be clear – they will be convinced they are the good guys.
Che Guevara was not ashamed that he was in charge of rounding up and murdering those who opposed the new Castro regime, he was PROUD of it. He murdered men, women and children and wrote home to his family in Argentina describing how much he enjoyed killing people. He had the subconscious desire to dominate others, and his conscious mind found ways to justify expressing that desire in the form of mass murder.
Those who lie for political gain follow the same process. they have a subconscious desire, they find ways to justify it and … presto .. they feel justified in lying and remain convinced that they are the good guys.
As an aside, the reason why marx is so pernicious; He saw all the successful people around him, and knowing he was not capable of achieving what those people achieved, he was hateful and envious of them So he wrote down all the reasons why he would be justified in taking other peoples stuff by force. … but to ensure he could remain feeling righteous, he had to say, “it’s for the people”. So we have his book that is a ready made set of justification for those who are envious and hateful, for why they are justified in taking the property of others.
Another example of this, is the 911 hijackers. Suicide attackers tend to be well educated, as the 911 hijackers were (all had degrees and 4 had PhDs). They have the intellectual capacity to generate justifications strong enough to overcome the self preservation instinct. They were trained that the highest moral act is to sacrifice yourself while killing non-muslims, and for this you would be rewarded with paradise and 72 virgins. They were trained that they would be lauded and venerated and celebrated … and they believed they would go to paradise for the righteous act. And I deliberately say “righteous act” and they were utterly convinced they were the good guys, “righteous”.
I am not much of a writer, so I hope the above is clear, and I know it is a sad statement on humanity, bu it is reality. .. and know it, helps us to overcome it!
So how does Adam Schiff go on multiple tv shows and falsely claim that he has documentary proof that Donald trump colluded with the Russians? He has a subconscious desire to remain in power, that he DESERVES to be in power and anyone who threatens his righteous place must be, by simple logic, pure evil and he is therefore absolutely justified in doing and saying anything he can. Same with Hillary and all the rest. They have an emotional desire for power and their conscious mind will tell them whatever they need to hear in order for them to take whatever actions are required for that desire to be sated.
Next time you look to buy a car, or make any big decision, try to be aware of whether you want it “because you WANT it”, or whether it is objectively the better choice.
oh, and this is why they hate they trained into Sam Harris has him so consumed. Because he is so smart, and so convinced in his rationality, he is utterly incapable of realizing that his position on Donald Trump is nothing more that the external expression of his inner hate. Being smart enables one to find much more effective justifications for the emotionally derived position.
If you are interested in the idea, read “mistakes were made, but not by me” Carol Tavris PhD. (yes wikipedia describes her as a feminist, but she has done some good work)

None of this ends – none of it, until they have skin in the game.
Being who they are, they want to provoke reactions that will, at least in their own minds, prove they were right about us all along and justify further encroachments on liberty. Sometimes their incendiary rhetoric incites extremists in their own camp – the attack on the Republican baseball practice, the attempted assassination of Kavanaugh, and let us not forget the BLM riots. It is harder to put out a fire than to set one.
As people who respect the rule of law, we are frustrated witnessing time and time again, the blatant double standard. We watched John Durham follow the rules in taking the slam dunk case against Michael Sussman forward in spite of a leftist judge and impossibly biased jury. The outcome was never in question. In their court, they win.
However, even though they have acquired almost total control over media and education, we see their grip slipping. People are turned off by the constant negative media drumbeat and are pulling back from an education system that insults and demeans them. As the moderate audience leaves in droves the radical and rotten core of their support is revealed. So, at last, everyone can really see who they are.
I agreed with a lot of Bill’s words. But I disagree with his last solution, namely that the Chief Justice will swear in President Trump while Trump is in jail. Folks, if Trump is taken to jail, he will be executed. They already practiced the technique on Epstein.
I also disagree that there is a legal remedy for what’s going on. I’m willing to let Nov. Election proceed before taking further action. I doubt anyone will be allowed to photograph misdeeds in the election building. Phones will be collected from poll watchers, or confiscated when they are used to document misdeeds. There will be “logical reasons” for these confiscations, of course. I will be flabergasted, and pleased of course, if we actually have a legal honest election in 2022. I’ll vote, as I always have done for 40 years. The execution or jailing of Trump, or the flagrant 2020 steal repeated is my expectation….the stakes are just too great for the Democrat criminals in office and Govt. – 87,000 IRS killers are proof of that.
Bill ~ You have outdone yourself! Positively – not one of the best commentaries you have done – but the very best! I have been in such a funk with latest “raid” on the 45th President. You have lifted my cynical spirit up. Even Dan B. couldn’t lift me out, but you did. God’s blessings to you and your amazing talent and spirit!
Superlative diagnosis of the Leftists’ morally diseased addiction to control at any cost. They follow the example of their father, the Devil, who was ejected from Heaven because he wanted to be God in place of God. His lust for power saturates every thought in the hearts of his children.
(Tragically, there are also many on the right whose only objection to Leftist hegemony is that their less imperialistic drive for control [i.e. their own lives] is interdicted by Leftists. At the Rapture, America may see a 1%-2% reduction in Demonrats, but maybe only a 15%-20% reduction in Republicans. [In most jurisdictions, this will be enough for the Demonrats to will most of the elections during the Final seven years of pre-Kingdom history… if there are any.] How sad for those who had regard for God’s principles, yet no regard for the Author of those principles. I’m not sure whether they will be better or worse off than the Leftists, who were at least consistent in their contempt for God’s principles AND God.)
Alternate theory – what they were looking for were the Crossfire Hurricane documents. Trump had declassified them but they had not been published. They were fearful It was going to be his October surprise in 2024.
That’s been the assumption I’ve been going with ever since Barnes linked to this: https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/fbi-raid-trump-crossfire-hurricane
It’s like a cartel kidnapping a key witness.
Thanks Bill, for your analysis and morale building. Chief Justice Roberts is okay with the Deep state skullduggery that’s going, I believe. So send someone else on the SC to swear in President Trump, when he wins if he’s in jail. 100 million of us will make justice happen, whether they like it or not. This is the American way.
Noun: Praxis (prak-sis)
It’s all fine and dandy to understand a thing, to know it’s being done and to recognize that it should not be done. It’s an entirely different matter to translate that understanding into direct action.
There are two elections coming up. The midterm election this November and the Presidential election of 2024. If we want our country back ala what Bill is saying in this video we need to take practical action above and beyond just going to the voting booth.
So what is the praxis? What can we, you and me, as individuals do that is practical and effective?
Let me start by saying what we should not do. Bill makes it clear, and he’s right, that engaging in any sort of lawlessness or violence will play right into the enemy’s hands. So at this point in time give up any idea you might have of armed revolution, violent demonstrations, or anything at all along those lines. That is a cure that is, at this point in time, worse than the disease and will absolutely do more harm to our side than good. In fact, that will pretty much assure we will lose the Republic to our political foes. As Bill says, freedom will go away and it may not be back for decades or centuries if ever.
Leave your guns in the closet or gun case, the last thing you want to do right now is something that will certainly get them taken away and then you won’t have them when you really need them.
Not only do our enemies want you to do something stupid like that, they’re laying their plans trying to get you to do it. There was all kinds of chatter in the mainstream media about “Right wing message boards calling for violence” and guess what? The media wasn’t lying. There were lots of instances of people saying just that. If you do something like that you are as profoundly duped into playing by the rules they create as any purple haired vegan land whale. Don’t, just don’t, be goaded into something like that.
Bill makes a very good point. One thing you can do is volunteer to be a poll watcher. This is perhaps one of the most effective things you can do. Take your phone, make damn sure it’s fully charged and you have a portable backup battery to recharge it, and get video of anything that even smells mildly suspicious. The “Fire Department Rule” applies here. The Fire Department Rule is “If it occurs to you that a fire you’re looking at might require the fire department, you should already be dialing 911.” This applies here as “If it even occurs to you that you should be recording the events unfolding in front of you then you should already be getting video of it.”
Because you don’t know what events are going to occur in the immediate future and you don’t know what may turn out to be significant in hindsight. When those pollsters in Atlanta and elsewhere walked up to and told the poll watchers that they were closing down the count for the night the poll watchers should have been recording that from the very first step taken towards them prior to that announcement. Then they should have asked any pertinent questions that occurred to them. Then they should have refused to leave.
(Incidentally, your video record of the events occurring is also protection for you against legal action. If the poll workers tell you to leave and you refuse, then the cops come and haul you out, your video is evidence of what actually happened so that they can’t say someone got violent or provided any other excuse to use the color of law against you.)
So becoming a poll watcher is something concrete you can do.
There, I’ve thrown the ball onto the field and put it in play. What else can any of you think of that will advance the praxis of this situation?
This – I have already contacted the local election board. Seems like a process even though they say “we are always looking for more volunteers”.
Will let you know.
I’m reluctant to contradict Dan Bongino but I think that he and/or his guest misstated the law on items found in a lawful search.
Say that the warrant permitted the seizure of a specific document. In looking for that document the police saw a bag of cocaine visible on a desk that bag could be seized and used as permissible evidence. If the bag was not visible but was randomly found by unnecessarily rummaging through a desk drawer the bag would not be admissible or usable in a legal proceeding.
Bill, this is so encouraging. I’m beginning to see articles questioning Republican resolve in Congress, weak leadership, caving to leftist ideologies, etc., and I begin to wonder if the sturdiness that built our country is anywhere to be found. I think you found it: we stand up to the bully that is the Left, and put things back the way they were, starting with our schools, our military and our border. I am so grateful for the clarity of thought and purpose you and your team bring through each of your formats.
I hope the FBI returns the boxes of cash they took.
