Proving once again the time-honored adage that "no news is good news," major media outlets across the nation are eagerly reporting no news whatsoever about Elon Musk's recent and ongoing revelations that Twitter, other social media outlets, and alleged "news" media conspired with the Biden campaign and intelligence agencies in 2020 (and way before) to, um, oh shucks - what do they call it? Oh yeah - OVERTHROW THE FREAKING GOVERNMENT.
Because that's what happened. The 2020 presidential election was totally rigged, but not by messing with voting machines or counting procedures. That's so old-fashioned as to be almost quaint. Rather, the group of conspirators (technically insurrectionists and traitors) rigged the voters by feeding them a constant stream of lies and cutting off access to damaging truths.
And...I have nothing else to say on the subject. Or more accurately, I don't have the energy to hyperventilate about what all of us have known forever. Moreover, the odds that anything will be done about this mess are about the same as those that Jeffrey Epstein had for living a nice long life in a totally secure facility. "Zip, zero, nada," as Rush used to say.
Still, Elon Musk is doing a tremendous public service (at great personal cost and considerable personal risk) to reveal how deep the rabbit hole goes. We need more like him.
When I was a kid we used to say while digging a hole, “I’m gonna dig till I reach China”. There is now much evidence that if you go down the rabbit hole you do indeed reach China.
ReplyDeleteWe really could use "Le Comité pour Encourager Les Autres" right about now...
ReplyDeleteYes, we really could use "Le Comité pour Encourager Les Autres" just now.
DeleteA good bit of creative free-lancing also would certainly be beneficial:
The hubs is achingly tired of hearing me say: Nothing is going to change until 300,000,000 of us start marching on Washington. TPTB do not fear us; they only fear losing their power and income.
ReplyDeleteI'm not holding my breath waiting for things to change with the GOP in charge of the House, either. We say we want something different out of Washington, but then we turn around and keep electing politicians. What's it called when you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results?
ReplyDeleteMark Twain said something to the effect that if you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed. But if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.
ReplyDeleteBut Jerryskids, given the election theft that we've seen in recent election cycles, how do any of us know for sure whether ANY office-holders were truly voted in? Every time I want to mutter something about "those idiots in [wherever] voted for [Candidate X]?! They deserve what they got!", I have to stop and ask myself whether in fact the "winner" honestly won.
ReplyDelete(BTW, I was just wondering how to read your nom-de-keyboard. Should it bring to mind telethons? Or is it what happens when Jerry hits the brakes too hard?)
Kinda reminds me of what good ole "Uncle Joe" Stalin is supposed to have said; 'Its not who votes but who counts the ballots.
ReplyDeleteReally though, Stilton, having perpetuated the Big Lie for so long, is it realistic to think the legacy media would now suddenly cry out 'the scales have fallen from mine eyes' and turn to aggressively report this story/scandal?
Second, besides the vile and malevolent influence the Clintons (one of which may have been behind it all) have had on our political system and civil discourse (thanks again Ross Perot) I see first, a whiff of Richard Daley (the 1st) style Chicago politics in this, brought on no doubt by the worst post-war electoral mistake since the peanut farmer from Plains, Ga. And in hand with this, is willful ignoring that our country is a republic and not a direct democracy and that the system worked in not electing the most vile, venal, evil, and the most unqualified, unfit and unworthy democratic POTUS candidate since Henry Wallace to the highest office in the land.
I've harped on this many times (groan) here that the only thing that keeps the democratic party politicians in power on a national level are the legacy state boundaries, which enable small pockets of festering (in most cases) of blue voting blocs to dictate what is best for the rest of us; like transgenderism & CRT.
This country needs to have a SCOTUS decision affirming there is again not longer equal legislative or voting representation. Its no longer again, one man (even a profoundly confused non-binary one) one vote.
If this state of affairs continues to remain unaddressed and unremedied, I see the eventual explosion being on a scale the likes this country hasn't seen since the Civil War.
A firebell in the night folks.
Now that we know this, what do we do?
ReplyDeleteWith some thanks to Elon Musk for opening the secret vaults at Twitter, we are finally getting the proof of what we have suspected for quite some time. Gropin'Joe is nothing more than a graft-taking, corrupt, career politician, (do I have to say he's a life-long democrat?) who, first, last, and always, has been in it to line his own pockets and screw the People. He is a crook, has been since the first day. He was even in it to screw his own son, making sure he got his 10% "for the Big Guy." Hunter did all the work, daddy gets his tithe.
So what?
What is there to be done about that now? Unless there will be some evidence of crimes committed, proof that the lousy b*st*rds broke laws and can be hauled into some court somewhere, what do we do?
There is no magic reset button that will take us back to November 2020, for a do-over. Our Honored Founders had no clue that strawmen turned politicians turned crooks could ever have become this corrupt, or that the citizens would ever be so stupid as to vote an election close enough to allow the halls of government to be stolen from us. They never imagined in their worst nightmares that things like the Justice Department, the FBI, the press, the assorted prosecutors, the county vote counters, could have become so corrupted, so evil, all coming together at the same point in time so as to "steal" a national election.
The Founders never thought it possible, so they never came up with an antidote.
What do we do now?
The recent 2022 elections are leaving a "sh*t sandwich" taste in a lot of mouths, so if there was evil in the counting two years ago, it seems to still be there. If laws were broken and you can find a prosecutor that doesn't owe his or her office to some power broker, then haul the lawbreakers in front of an honest jury and convict their asses. We tried marching on the Capitol. That didn't work so well. And abandoning parts of the Constitution, as some have recently suggested, should also be avoided.
What do we do?
You're already angry. Stay angry. Get angrier. Every time more news comes out about the corruption that is festering in the levels of government and the boardrooms of the big corporations, get even angrier. Stir the pot and keep stirring it. Get your family angry, get your neighbors angry, and show the world just how angry you are. No more "bought and paid for" candidates. No more "too close to call" elections. Vote for good people who don't have their name in someone's ledger under Favors to be Collected.
Bad politicians become crooks. We already have too many of those. Good politicians become statesmen, and we can always use more of those.
Stay informed. Stay angry. Change comes from us.
Yep, wondering how much security it will take to keep anyone safe from an accidental suicide like the dear ol' fellow in jail for sex crimes. Scary. Maybe Elon Musk can begin a trend of truth in media. We should be so lucky. About the only trend in media--like government--is more of the same under the name of Soros. Sad, just sad.
ReplyDeleteBrazilians understood they'd been lied to and their elections had been stolen. Hundreds of thousands took to the streets to demand accountability.
ReplyDeleteWhere are our hundreds of thousands in the streets of DC? Nope, we will continue to "get angrier" and continue to do nothing. It's as if that frog being slowly boiled knee it, and stayed in anyway.
Elon Musk said on Twitter that he as a significant risk of being assassinated. That I can believe as the left Always tries to destroy what is doesn't like and they certainly don't like Musk any more due to takeover of Twitter. He used to be their darling until that happened. More power to him!!!! The only open media we now have.
ReplyDeleteI'm more and more convinced that the problem is the acceptance of Identity Politics. We should be voting for the best system for governing the nation, but instead we are voting for people.
ReplyDeleteWe have one basic choice when we vote: We vote for a federal government severely restricted as to its size, scope and power, with most authority left to the states or to the people, or we vote for consolidation of power in a Central Authority which can continuously expand the scope of federal power, with little authority left to the states or to the people.
I will bet that few if any Biden voters understand that they voted for the second system. They thought they voted for the man---or, far more likely, that they merely voted against Trump.
As long as we continue the death spiral of voting based on Identity instead of political structure we are going to keep going down the bunny hole. We need to step back from Identity, and even from ISSUES and focus on analysis of the best blueprint for governing the country, and then build our elections on those decisions.
As for issues nearly every issue can be, and should be, dealt with within the boundaries and restrictions of our Constitution. They can either be legitimately handled by the federal government or they are the responsibility of the states. The Left tries to make dealing with issues a binary choice---you either want the federal government to feed people or you want people to starve, to create an example.
The old story about the 'poop' sandwich. The more bread you have, the less 'poop' you eat.
ReplyDeleteSomeone asked Bidet ... oops, I mean Biden if he liked poop sandwiches. He said "No, I don't eat bread".
ReplyDeleteNOW do you understand why the Democrats (and squish Republicans) have their hair on fire to pass more gun control legislation, even legislation that flies in the face of NYSRPA v. Breun?
ReplyDeleteWe've been very much busier than usual later and the only TV I've seen is a little bit of sports: FIFA & NFL. But now all over the place when you look just about all anti-Trump talking heads are spouting off in unison about him proposing "Termination of U.S. Constitution.
ReplyDeleteI could hardly find WHAT he actually for all this BS; AKA a direct quote. When I did it seemed like he was WARNING us: >>> What's been going on can lead to (but he used a much more vague word for it, "allow". So they jump all over that. But I don't see how even the most biased media can get it so wrong.
Can anyone please clear this up a bit? Thanks, - Rod
Bravo to Mr. Musk for pulling back the curtain a bit, but as Darth Vader said to Luke, "You don't know the powah of the dark side." Yes, Twitter is getting purged of lefties, but the Democrats and RINOs still have CNN, The NY Times, Washington Post, NBC, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, CBS, Disney, Hollywood, Facebook, et al firmly on their side.
ReplyDeleteRight now, Kevin McCarthy is talking big, but I'll be REALLY surprised if the House follows through with anything that will actually damage the status quo or render justice to candidates who lost elections in the middle of the night like Kari Lake or, yes, Donald Trump.
Speaking of elections, who wants to bet that Herschel Walker wins tomorrow? Betcha it isn't decided for several days, then someone will find a few thousand ballots in someone's trunk that will ALL be votes for Warnock.
Important? Certainly. Will anything happen? Not a chance. The Twitter doc-dump only confirms what we already knew all along; that along with the mainstream media, Twitter and most of the rest of big tech controlled social media were little more than the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. Progressives already knew and accepted this, or if they didn't know, either won't believe it or won't care. Because hey, if that was what it took to get rid of Trump...
ReplyDeleteSo instead, they'll keep focusing on buffalo hat guy and the January 6th "insurrection" as the real "threat to democracy".
What definitely should happen is that those 51 highly credentialed "intelligence experts" who signed that statement that Hunter's laptop was an "Russian information operation" should be publicly shunned and laughed off any stage that they dare appear on. Only weather people and climate scientists can be so professionally wrong and get to keep their jobs, much less credibility.
But it's really worse than that. These people were in fact part of the real "disinformation campaign" and "insurrection".
@John:. I just love how the WSJ has caught those '51 highly credentialed' with their pants figuratively down. Perhaps I am giving the vile, venal, evil harridan more credit than she's due even on her best day, but I'm getting a tingling on the back of the neck and as Don Corleone said ' ..it was Barzini(Clinton) all along.
DeleteLove the cartoon; a great, creative explanation of how an election can be affected by censorship.
ReplyDeleteIndeed we do need more like Mr. Musk. He is doing wonderful things. unfortunately, he is very rich. That means that the left hates him from the very beginning. I greatly fear he will meet with a dreadful accident.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe any of it. There's no way "the Big Guy" was settling for a measly 10% cut.
ReplyDeleteFYI, it looks like after all this time I finally caught the ChiCom Croup, consisting of a sore throat and a bit of inflammation in my upper nasal regions. I probably picked it up a week ago Saturday, when I was Santa during a town fete and my lap played host to a bunch of runny-nosed kids.
About over it now, after treating aggressively with all the banned and ridiculed cheepo remedies.
Merry Christmas to all.
Let me be the first to say it:
ReplyDeleteIlan Musk did not kill himself.
After reading the thoughts of my co-commenters, I really have nothing substantive to add. I truly hope the Musk takeover of Twitter is the opening salvo in the cold war with the demonic people who are ruining our country. I agree with @Fish Out of Water in that we are truly heading for a Civil War type revolution if nothing changes. I would it rather be with prison time than gun violence, but whatever it takes. If we can't trust elections, what is the point?
ReplyDeleteNew cast member joining Lucy and Ms Ross? The Media Insider would be a good addition as more stuff comes to light.

ReplyDelete@VideomanSS and @Lee The Voice, remember that BOTH Elon Musk and Donald Trump were favorites of the Demo_Rats--even though both were and are very wealthy--until they BOTH did what the Demo_Rats don't like.
I also want to add that President Trump said that theft of an election (as the Demo_Rats have done so many times now) makes it possible for someone to "terminate the Constitution", NOT that he wanted to do so. This is a problem that needs to be fixed but who is willing to do what is necessary to fix it?
VideomanSS, Just wait until you hear a rumor about Elon having some dirt on Shrillary, THEN he has about a week before he commits "Arkancide"!
ReplyDeleteStilt,
ReplyDeleteAfter three days of power and server outages, my hyperventilation has abated somewhat; but I'll be back up to your level pretty quickly, I'm sure.
[raises fist of defiance overhead… brushes cigar ash off scalp]
ReplyDelete@DougM, Power to the people...yet?
"Hopefully we have learned from this and can use the same tactics."
ReplyDeleteGOPe knows those tactics, but won't use them "because we're better than that."
AND they rigged machines and vote counts.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to put your foot down with a firm hand..or you'll be up the creek without a poodle and you can't let sleeping dogs lie if you let the cat out of the bag.
ReplyDeleteCheers
In response to a reporter's question, I once heard Barry Bonds say "We'll hit that bridge when it happens!" Loved it!
