Before The Bidens “Did” Ukraine, There Was Iraq… And Serbia

Via Zero Hedge

The United States approaches the November 2020 election with growing apprehension, even dread.

Among the possibilities:

For those who have followed events outside the United States during the past few decades, much of this sounds familiar. We’ve seen it before – inflicted on other countries.

Now It’s Coming Home to the U.S.

As explained by Revolver News, what happens in America next to a great extent may be a form of blowback from a specific event: the U.S.-supported 2014 regime change operation in Ukraine:

‘A “Color Revolution” in this context refers to a specific type of coordinated attack that the United States government has been known to deploy against foreign regimes, particularly in Eastern Europe deemed to be “authoritarian” and hostile to American interests. Rather than using a direct military intervention to effect regime change as in Iraq, Color Revolutions attack a foreign regime by contesting its electoral legitimacy, organizing mass protests and acts of civil disobedience, and leveraging media contacts to ensure favorable coverage to their agenda in the Western press.

‘It would be disturbing enough to note a coordinated effort to use these exact same strategies and tactics domestically to undermine or overthrow President Trump. The ominous nature of what we see unfolding before us only truly hits home when one realizes that the people who specialize in these Color Revolution regime change operations overseas are, literally, the very same people attempting to overthrow Trump by using the very same playbook. Given that the most famous Color Revolution was the [2004] “Orange Revolution” in the Ukraine, and that Black Lives Matter is being used as a key component of the domestic Color Revolution against Trump, we can encapsulate our thesis at Revolver with the simple remark that “Black is the New Orange.”’

This hardly should come as a surprise. The same government agencies and their corporate, NGO, and think tank cronies that are now weaponizing Black Lives Matter, Antifa, other Wokesters, and military putsch plotters here at home to remove Trump have turned regime change abroad into an art form. Ukraine was one of their signal successes, featuring a cast of characters later key to the failed “Ukrainegate” impeachment.

Another consequence of regime change: corruption. As the old saying goes, any idiot can turn an aquarium into fish soup, but no one has yet figured out how to reverse the process. Once a country gets broken it tends to stay broken, whether the “breaking” is accomplished by military means (Serbia 1999, Iraq 2003, Libya 2011) or by a color revolution from the streets (Serbia 2000, Georgia 2003, Ukraine 2004-2005 and again in 2014, Kyrgyzstan 2005, Lebanon 2005, Armenia 2018, plus many others of varying degrees of success, and failures in Iran, Russia, Venezuela, China (Hong Kong), and Belarus). With the target nation’s institutions in shambles, the dregs take over – in Libya, for example, even to the point of reintroducing trade in sub-Saharan African slaves, whose black lives evidently don’t matter to anyone at all.

Iraq: Crush, Corrupt, Cash In

Finally, once regime change occurs and corruption is rampant, another shoe drops: foreign vultures descend on the carcass, profiteers who in many cases are the very same people that helped to create the chaos on which they are cashing in. Invariably, these carpetbaggers are well-connected individuals in the aggressor states and organizations positioned on the inside track both for the carve-up of the target country’s resources and (the word “hypocrisy” doesn’t begin to describe it) for funds to implement “reform” and “reconstruction” of the devastated target.

The showcase of this scam, pursuant to Colin Powell’s reported “Pottery Barn Rule” (You break it, you own it) was the money ostensibly spent on rebuilding Iraq, despite assurances from the war’s advocates that it would pay for itself. With the formal costs conservatively set at over $60 billion to $138 billion out of a tab for the war of over two trillion dollars, the lion’s share of it went to U.S. and other vendors, including the notorious $1.4 billion no-bid contract to Halliburton subsidiary KBR, of which then-Vice President Dick Cheney, a major proponent of the war, had been a top executive. (“Rand Paul Says Dick Cheney Pushed for the Iraq War So Halliburton Would Profit.”)

In Ukraine, Biden’s Son Also Rises

The predatory cronyism vignette most pertinent to the Black/Orange regime change op now unfolding before us with the intent of installing Joe Biden in the Oval Office is that of his son, Hunter, and a Ukrainian energy company with a sketchy reputation, Burisma Holdings. (Right at the outset, even some of Hunter’s associates though the gig with Burisma was too “toxic” and broke off ties with him.) Though ignored or dismissed as fake news and a conspiracy theory by Democrats and legacy media (or do I repeat myself?), the facts are well enough known and fit the Iraq pattern to a T: then-Vice President Joe Biden pushed for regime change in Ukraine, which succeeded in February 2014 with the ouster of the constitutionally elected president, Viktor Yanukovych. In April 2014, Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, was brought onto Burisma’s board (along with a fellow named Devon Archer, later convicted of unrelated fraud) at an exorbitant level of compensation that made little sense in light of Hunter’s nonexistent expertise in the energy business – but which made plenty of sense given that his dad was not only Veep but the Obama administration’s point man on policy toward Ukraine, including foreign assistance money. [NOTE: It now has come out that in 2015 Hunter put his dad, the U.S. Vice President, in direct contact with Burisma, news the giant tech firms sought to suppress on social media.]

When a troublesome Ukrainian prosecutor named Viktor Shokin seemed to be taking too much interest in Burisma, Papa Joe came to the rescue, openly threatening the western-dependent politicians installed after Ukraine’s 2014 color revolution with withholding of a billion dollars in U.S. aid until Shokin, whom Joe unironically alleged to be “corrupt,” got the heave-ho. As Tucker Carlson nails it, Shokin’s ouster followed a direct request from Burisma’s Clinton-connected PR firm, Blue Star Strategies, to Hunter to lobby his dad to get Shokin off their back. Joe did just what was asked. He later bragged: “I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here [i.e., Kiev] in, I think it was about six hours.’ I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”

Will the Worm Turn With the Election in Three and a Half Weeks, or Will Totalitarianism Consume This Country?

Via Lew Rockwell

When the coming election ballots are tallied, will total chaos be the result? Will criminal rioting, looting, assaults, and property destruction run rampant? Will mobs take over the cities in an attempt to cause havoc? Will the aftermath of this presidential circus be a time of terror and devastation? Will the country remain split, divided by political and false racist idiocy purposely stoked by the ruling class? Regardless of the outcome, or lack thereof, it seems evident that an utterly chaotic period will arise, and in turn will dramatically alter the face of America.

This outcome seems to be a certainty should the incumbent Trump get re-elected, or if he refuses to leave office due to the absurdity of the current flawed voting system, much of which has been caused by the ludicrous response to a fraudulent virus pandemic. Even if the democratic challenger is claimed to be the victor, mass rioting will most likely still occur. Also, with any long-term vote counting process, and risk of lengthy election investigations, felonious behavior by those being allowed by the state to pillage and plunder should be expected. In other words, prepare for violent pandemonium.
With mass rioting and lawlessness in the streets, expect state intervention in the form of militarized police, military reserves, and possible active national military deployment. Remember that Trump has already claimed that the military is ready to deploy to distribute a Covid vaccine, which means they are already prepared to take to the streets. If that happened, it would be a form of martial law that may be nationwide or restricted to the areas of most concern. Either way, the precedents set in the process would be horrendous. Initially, these thugs that have been terrorizing much of the country these past few months, may be allowed for a period of time to cause confusion and devastation in order to steer the people into asking for more government intervention and rule. None should be surprised if that turns out to be the case. In order for the state to gain a high degree of control over the herd, compliance by a large percentage of Americans is necessary, and fear of all the chaos, violence, and madness can be used to cause mass panic, thereby making it easier to corral the public. The tool of fear will be used over and over again until the people acquiesce to all mandates issued by the state, and voluntarily succumb to blind obedience.

The tethering of society is sought, and this can be accomplished by the use of fear, economic destruction, and then promises to protect and bail out all those that will become dependent on government for the necessities of life. This coronavirus plot for population control and global economic reset has been long in the making, and is a very multi-faceted plan based on the ability to create and perpetuate constant fear, forcing the people to desire and seek safety at the expense of liberty. One look at the past seven months should convince all thinking individuals that this plot has been extremely successful for the controlling ‘elite’ class and their enforcers in government. Most basic freedoms that have existed for centuries have been nearly eliminated in just a few months time. Many have predicted this kind of takeover by the state, but few could have expected it to happen in the blink of an eye, and without resistance.
This election coming up in a few days will be the turning point of this madness in my opinion. It will be used as a springboard to launch any number of nefarious plots meant to capture the psyche of the average person by inundating them with fear and horror at every turn. There will be riots, looting, burning, violence against innocents, new mandates of isolation, curfews, and vastly increased surveillance and enforcement. The next wave of this fake virus will be said to have arrived, causing even more panic. Since most of the people’s natural immune systems have already been greatly compromised, creating more virus panic in what will most likely be a very deadly flu season will be an easier task to accomplish this fall and spring. Continued economic destruction will occur, causing more business closures, more unemployment, more bankruptcy, and more poverty. Travel will be further restricted, and all movement will become more difficult. Hospitals once again will become emergency Covid centers instead of medical facilities, leaving the health care of much of the population lacking. The election fallout, and all these other things happening at once will weigh heavy on this population, causing additional problems not considered at this time. With these things all going on at the same time, the people will be ripe for a complete tyrannical takeover. That is exactly what the state desires.

There has been more pushback against this onslaught of tyranny as of late by people around the world, and this is troubling to the powerful controllers that wish to squelch any and all resistance to their rule. In order to stop the spread of dissent, and gain back control, the state needs to create so much confusion and fear that people will clamor for their ‘leadership’ and protection. That confusion and fear is coming soon, and will be deliberately levied against all of us.

As this chaos advances, and once the virus deaths can be claimed to be increasing, a vaccine will be made available. That vaccine if broadly administered could be the final nail in the coffin of freedom, as what could be in those vaccines could not only be deadly, but could allow for the tracking and control of humanity through the use of nanotechnology hydrogels and bio-sensors that could alter human DNA. In addition, nano-sensor implants injected via vaccines could modulate brain activity so that control from an outside source could be possible. These things are already in the works.

What all this means is that this reign of terror that is being waged against humanity is only just beginning. There will be no going back to normal. There will be no let up by these forces of evil in their efforts to use a fraudulent virus scare to advance their global reset agenda. There will be multiple attacks against us by the state, and they will come from many angles. The beginning of the end will be here in three and a half weeks with this bizarre election chicanery.

Casket outside Brooklyn nursing home filled with 6,500 covers of Cuomo’s book

Via The New York Poat

A silver casket was wheeled to the front of a Brooklyn nursing home Sunday — and 6,500 copies of the cover of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s new book were dumped into it in protest of his COVID-19 policies.

The number of covers was equal to the roughly 6,500 people who have been reported killed by the coronavirus in nursing homes in the state — although the ralliers said they believe the figure is much higher.

“My mother-in-law got COVID in an elder-care facility but died in a hospital, [so] her number does not count’’ in New York’s nursing-home tally, said Janice Dean, a meteorologist for TV’s “Fox & Friends’’ who was among the roughly 50 protesters outside the Cobble Hill Health Center.

“At the very beginning, I wouldn’t have blamed anyone,’’ she said of her kin’s death. “We were in the middle of a pandemic.

“But then I saw the governor on CNN and the various talk shows talking about his love life and talking about how he brought the curve down to nothing.”

The first thing he should have said was, “I’m sorry for your loss,’’ Dean said.

Muslim who refused to shake woman’s hand as she presented him with citizenship certificate is denied German citizenship

Via The Daily Mail

A Muslim doctor has been denied German citizenship after refusing to shake a woman’s hand when she gave him his certificate.

The 39-year-old Lebanese national was on the brink of becoming a German after living in the country for 13 years, completing his medical studies and passing a citizenship test with the highest possible mark.

But he failed at the final hurdle after refusing to shake the hand of the female official at the ceremony in 2015, leading state authorities to deny him citizenship.

Five years later, a court has backed their decision – saying the man’s ‘fundamentalist’ views were at odds with his integration into German society.

The man had moved to Germany in 2002 and lived there legally ever since, marrying a woman of Syrian origin about 10 years ago – promising her that he would never take the hand of another woman.

He started his application for citizenship in 2012 and signed the necessary paperwork vowing to uphold the constitution and reject extremism.

But the court in Mannheim said the handshake incident was incompatible with the constitution’s guarantee of equality between men and women.

‘If the applicant refuses to shake hands for gender-specific reasons which are incompatible with the constitution, there is no integration into German living conditions,’ they said.

‘This applies in particular if the refusal to shake hands with the opposite sex – as in this case – serves to further a Salafist conviction about the relationship between men and women.’

Amazon’s New Lord Of The Rings Series To Include Bisexual Transgender Elf In Wheelchair

Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)

SEATTLE, WA—According to a new announcement from showrunners, Amazon’s new Lord of the Rings television series will include its first disabled bisexual transgender elf character.

“Tolkien’s story is a timeless and beloved epic, but let’s face it, it was written by a white Catholic guy. Totally EW!” said Phinnix Glittervaux, a non-binary transgender writer for the show. “With any beloved cultural juggernaut like this, it’s important that we hollow out its insides until it’s just a shell before filling it with the post-postmodern political messages of our choosing!”

In order to make Tolkien’s masterwork “more accessible to modern audiences,” Amazon’s new show will feature a healthy dose of nihilism, nudity, and themes reflecting the latest woke politics.

“It’s time to have an honest conversation about the more problematic aspects of Tolkien’s work,” said Glittervaux. “Honestly, it’s trash. We only hitched our wagon to it because it’s a lucrative intellectual property we can cram our political messages into.”

In service of these guiding principles, showrunners have proudly introduced Middle Earth’s first disabled bisexual transgender elf known as Idrix.

“Idrix is a fascinating character. We will follow her as she navigates the rigid political structures of Middle Earth while facing discrimination, racism, and ableism,” said Glittervaux. “To our knowledge, there aren’t any other shows out there that explore important themes like this.”

When asked for comment, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos confirmed he doesn’t care about what showrunners do with the thing as long as it makes money. “Also, make sure it has a lot of nudity and killing in it like that Game of Thrones show!” he said.
