DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: From aliens at the mall, to drone strikes, to fascism – take your pick
It has most certainly been a “get on your horse and ride” crazy first week of 2024.
I was thinking of what to write about, and thought my top 10 this week of what happened in the news would be a good one. What I have uncovered that once would have been called conspiracy theory, but now examples of clamping down, gaslighting, and lack of accountability.
To begin, I was looking up the specific definition of fascism – and a child’s explanation of the term popped up.
I thought it was pretty well described and wondered if people would appreciate the reminder of the meaning; “Fascism is the political idea where the government controls everything, like in Nazi Germany under Adolph Hitler and Italy under Benito Mussolini.
LET US GET RIGHT INTO MY TOP 10 STORIES
The House Homeland Security Committee will formally begin impeachment proceedings against Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas for his questionable border policies.
Congresswoman Kat Commack from Florida said House members told Mayorkas behind closed doors he was going to be impeached and he responded, “You’re not going to like what comes next.”
When asked if that was a threat he reportedly just smiled.
Also catching heat – where has Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense been? Missing since the beginning of the year when he was hospitalized.
He did not want to disclose his medical issues, fair enough, but no one knew this very important man was out of commission – this being particularly critical because ‘ol Joe who has spent 37% of 2023 on vacation was also out.
While the U.S. is facing conflict and threats around the world.
Horrifying – was I read Kamala was at the helm. One commentator said, “in charge of the nuclear football” and Americans were none the wiser.
Before this next one, I want to say read between the lines of everything relating to anything these days, like this drone strike story. Do some research and look back pre-COVID at what was happening and what has been uncovered since. Use your intuition, in the past the media would have said “the bad man was killed,” now we know the lines are blurred on what the media tells us, so each person is responsible for coming to their own conclusion.
There was a drone strike in Bagdad on Jan. 3 killed a major Iranian leader, Qasem Solemani. He was headed to meet the Iraqi Prime Minister.
Questions from one news source made sense asking, “Who made the call to perform the strike?”
Why was the White House unaware? With Austin out on medical and the president out, who was the person who is accountable for the decision and why now?
The Washington Post (www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/01/04/us-strike-baghdad) reported a Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, said the strike was “a necessary and proportionate action” against a militant leader “actively involved in planning and carrying out attacks against American personnel,” but could not articulate further when ask by a journalist what the threat was to the public.
In California when completing a voter registration, you can only choose Democratic, American Independent or Libertarian.
There is no Republican option on the form according to a California resident who was shocked when she went to register. If you want to register as a Republican, you must register online.
Can anyone else see what is wrong with this?
The day after Christmas, a report came out that a Tesla Robot malfunctioned and bloodied up a worker at a Texas factory. Fox News said the robot left a trail of blood. I do not want that co-worker in my energy sphere, and again can anyone else see what is wrong with this?
Congress approved a short-term extension of warrantless surveillance powers (thehill.com/policy/national-security/4360341-fisa-congress-approves-short-term-extension-warrantless-surveillance-powers).
While we were being distracted by some outlandish thing, did the aliens at the Miami Mall (see next item) happen before or after this bill was signed?
The National Defense Authorization Act’s warrantless backdoor surveillance of Americans approved by the Senate, fell into the scope of $910.8 billion requested by the President for FY2024.
Someone said it uses the guise of keeping Americans safe from illegal immigration – how about STOP illegal immigration.
Did you know the US added 1.6 million people, more than two-thirds of which came from international migration, bringing the nation’s population total to 334.9 million according to Fortune.com.
One million, grasp that even if you are all for open borders, grasp it.
In the fine print of that bill it also now allows there is no need for a search warrant to come into your house. There were 147 Republicans and 163 Democrats who voted for this unconstitutional warrantless surveillance on Americans.
Congressman Chip Roy from Texas said, “The fact of the matter is what’s being stated is it is impossible to oppose the National Defense Authorization Act because we put a pay raise in it or because we put something in there that is seemingly so important that we have to ignore the critical destruction of our civil liberties by adding FISA extension right on the top of it without doing the forms necessary to protect the American people.”
And the aliens, I do not even know what to say about that.
No matter how conservative you are and no matter how you are not believing anything going on (you know, the weirdness that is now reality) either way, people are saying they saw giant shadows at the mall in Miami on New Years.
The strangest thing about it is one woman said she got the coordinates of the mall on Google Earth and flipflopped the coordinates and put that in Google to see where it would take her, and it took her to the center of Antarctica (yes, the mystery continent).
Supposedly an airport shut down, electricity off and hundreds upon hundreds of Miami cops at the mall, but mainstream media said that is not true.
So, we must go by either mainstream media’s report, eyewitness accounts or social media people who are trying to get clicks.
It reads like a movie where the main character is at the airport when the aliens/shadow walkers arrive at the mall and the main character knows that is why the entire Miami PD is at the mall and the airport shut down and he knows it is not just because of a gang having a stick fight.
READS BETTER THAN ANY MOVIE
And think about it, in the movies all the main characters have crazy stories like this Miami one and yet, they end up being right and saving the day.
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill (not sure when) to mandate California school children be taught media literacy.
It said this will teach children about climate change denial, vaccine conspiracy theory and questioning what occurred at the capital on Jan. 6.
New York’s governor also announced a media literacy toolkit to teach k – 12 students how to spot misinformation, i.e., attempting to have young people believe that the reputable media sources are actually the Black Rock, Vanguard-owned media outlets.
Just think what earlier generations learned in school that was, over time, parroted as the truth because “we learned it in school.”
In 20 years, the reality of today could be totally erased if we do not do something about it soon.
Speaking of education, it seems history in the US began to change in the 1920s.
As in, rewriting and removing history.
It was the Rockefeller Educational System thrown in our faces.
So, if you want to know history – dig and find a book pre-1920.
Tesla’s free energy and all the information related to ether, on the periodic table until around 1908 and information about terrestrial magnetism. The Rockefeller Education System decided to say ether and pseudoscience was woo woo, wrong again.
The nation’s largest pharmacy chains (CVC and Walgreens) recently handed over many pharmacy records of their patients to police and government investigators without a warrant.
Why?
A congressional investigation discovered this and is raising concern (www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/12/13/pharmacy-records-shared-no-warrant/71908940007).
A law passed in New York compliments of Governor Kathy Hochul allowing the state Rule 2.13 (govt.westlaw.com/nycrr/Document/I3783ab18c22411dd80c2c6f42ff0193c?transitionType=Default&contextData=%28sc.Default%29) to have unbridled power over New Yorkers who can be locked up if they are deemed a health threat.
A person can be quarantined at whim even if there is no state of emergency. The order determines how long the person stays in lockup – at home or taken to a detention center – and there is no age restriction.
It was also said you will be forced to take the medication given by the state and there is no due process or rule of law in the name of public health with the state having full authority over you and your body.
