The GOP Is No Longer Just "Using" QAnon: The GOP Now IS QAnon-- What Does This Mean? Part I

The GOP Is No Longer Just "Using" QAnon: The GOP Now IS QAnon-- What Does This Mean? Part I-- Introduction-- In the course of the last month or so, Donald Trump has ended his "side chick" type of flirtation with the proto-terrorist conspiracy cult QAnon, and entered into a full-blown public political marriage with them. Hence, the overwhelming majority of those who represent the GOP leadership and activist base has embraced this new relationship and incorporated it fully into their election strategy. This has very big and horrifying implications for the GOP's post-election strategy, which should be self-evident to those not suffering from election day tunnel vision.  As ugly and frightening as this reality is, I believe a conversation about it is needed in order to be prepared for what comes next.  Certain facts about QAnon bear repeating for purposes of background.  Part I-- The QAnon conspiracy is inordinately fixated on pedophilia, and has fabricated a conspi...

  The GOP Is No Longer "Using" QAnon: The GOP Now IS QAnon-- What Does This Mean? Part II—The GOP Repurposes QAnon's “Blood Libel” Into A New Culture War, Version 2.0 [“President Trump addressed the baseless, far-right QAnon conspiracy theory directly for the first time on Wednesday, saying he didn't know much about the online community and its followers other than "they like me very much." "I heard that these are people who love our country," Trump added in response to a question about the conspiracy community during a press briefing at the White House. When a reporter partially summed up the conspiracy theory to him — that it revolves around a false narrative that Trump is leading a secret, government-led charge against pedophiles, cannibals and satanic worshippers — Trump responded: "Is that supposed to be a bad thing?" "If I can help save the world from problems, I'm willing to do it," Trump said.”] The above quote from ...

What Is The Federalist Society And Their Concept Of Federalism, Really?

(Photo collage: top, former Attorney General and Federalist Society leader, William Barr. Bottom, Nazi Jurist, Professor Carl Schmitt, Barr's model of jurisprudence)  What Is The Federalist Society And Their Concept Of Federalism, Really?  (A comment in response to Professor HCR's letter this morning, in which she details the bloody Putin-style police state measures that TFS and the GOP would impose on the US. HCR quotes John Daniel Davidson in "The Federalist," outlining the various categories of persons who should be charged with felonies and arrested, jailed and suppressed, based on their choices of lifestyle and personal beliefs)  It is no coincidence that The Federalist Society venerates the infamous German law professor and jurist Carl Schmitt, who was Adolph Hitler's legal adviser. Schmitt was the person originating the concept of the "unitary executive" theory of government, claiming that the head of state should be able to invoke emergency power...

No, Its Not Us Who Are Nuts, Thank You--

No, It's Not Us Who Are Nuts, Thank You-- Speaking of gaslighting, every single thing which President Biden is doing on inflation, Ukraine, student debt, prescription drugs, climate, etc, in defending the "General Welfare," national security, and in doing those necessary things for the people which they cannot do themselves, is being attacked by MAGA as a mid-term election "stunt" to elect Democrats.  There are at least two relevant points in need of emphasis, because as those still in possession of minimally two functioning brain cells to rub together are already aware, this is yet another fabrication from the pit of Russia's "Fifth Column," the GOP. (Gang Of Putin) First, most of what the President is doing is, in fact, reversing the galactic failures and self-aggrandizing malign neglect of Putin's man in the White House, now and going forward to be known as "defendant Donald Trump."  Second, let us not so subtly remind these overtl...

Will President Biden Have To Invoke The 1807 Insurrection Act And Deploy The Army To Defend The Election Result?

My Brief Comment On Professor Heather Cox Richardson's's Morning Letter-- Subject: The Trump MAGA machine has total control of the GOP, and intends to disregard the vote when they lose. What this really means, in plain language.-- It should be clear based on these reports that the Trump/MAGA associated terrorist entities such as the militias, neo-nazis and QAnon are a serious threat to launch nationwide physical attacks on state capitols and election related agencies, as they did on January 6th to overturn elections they will lose. Pennsylvania and Arizona in particular, because their candidates are backed by heavily armed violent extremists and Nazis. Nazis don't believe in obtaining justice in the courts through due process.  President Biden is, in my view, likely going to have to invoke the 1807 Act and use the military to defend the election results. They have to be doing contingency planning for this, and I don't see the point of not discussing it. All of the MAGA ...

Tulsi Gabbard Launches Her Campaign To Be Putin's VP In Arizona

Tulsi Gabbard Launches Her Campaign For Putin's VP In Arizona-- This story is what I would call interesting, in the sense that if I were a virologist, examining mutations in a lab setting, I would be clinically observant about the ability of the virus to evade immunity and spread, and especially its new level of lethality. In this case, the virus is Tulsi Gabbard, and she has mutated from a Kyrsten Sinema type centrist who was never a real Democrat, (but had a pseudo-Christian cult programming in her family history) to a full blown QAnon/Nazi election-denying insurrectionist, all implied by her endorsement of Neo-Nazi candidates in Arizona, Kari Lake and Blake Masters, and her expressed commitment to campaign for them in person. (Link to coverage in "The Hill" below) It actually is a mistake to think she is now just endorsing GOP candidates because she is remaking herself as a Fox News pundit. She is ambitious and crazy, and has rebounded from one cult into another in muc...

British PM Liz Truss To Her Finance Minister- "You Are Fired For Promoting My Program!"

British PM Liz Truss To Her Finance Minister- "You Are Fired For Promoting My Program!" Yesterday Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng became new Prime Minister Truss' personal "Quasimodo" of Victor Hugo's "Hunchback" fame, put in chains and carried through London's financial district to be pelted with garbage and blamed for the hideous program announced by his own boss at 10 Downing Street, only 37 days into their fiasco of a government.  (Covered in today's "Daily Beast") https://www.thedailybeast.com/british-government-close-to-collapse-as-chancellor-kami-kwasi-fired-after-disastrous-38-days-in-office?ref=scroll Unbelievably, (and I say that with a stiff upper lip while LMFAO) he is gone, after putting forward the demented proposals of his long-time political patron Truss, whose program for eliminating the "top rate" level tax for the richest people, removing all limits to bonuses for bankers, guaranteeing energ...

The Rosen Report Excerpt, Written July of 2020, Warning Of Trump Plan To Overturn Election Seven Months Before January 6th

Image
  For those who are new to The Rosen Report, as you reflect upon the ninth set of hearings of the House Committee on January 6th, take a minute and read an excerpt from the introduction to my 45 page 12 part report on the Trump/Putin Plot to overturn the election, written and posted in July of 2020, a full seven months before the events of that day.  https://therosenreport.blogspot.com/2020/09/trumps-really-good-people-nazis_17.html [ "There is a Constitutional crisis in progress. You have all read and heard the various scenarios through which Trump intends to steal the election and keep power. These include, but are not limited to, a delay of the vote, contesting the vote in court, active voter suppression and fraud, sabotage of the USPS and the months long delay in counting mail-in votes, challenge of the electors, and other possible actions.  What is not being stated emphatically enough is the possibility that Trump will try to disrupt the election or seek to cancel it...

Vatican/US Insurrection Against Pope Francis Enters New Phase With Fascist Schismatics Conference In Pittsburgh--

Vatican/US Insurrection Against Pope Francis Enters New Phase With Fascist Schismatics Conference In Pittsburgh-- Implications for the MAGA war against democracy and Joe Biden, and a window into the fascist takeover in Italy-- For those who have followed The Rosen Report's coverage of the ongoing fascist coup being organized against Pope Francis by QAnon aligned schismatics in the Church, this article linked below should be taken as a five alarm fire.  Ex-Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganĂ² has once again turned up at as a key organizer from the US side of this plot, highlighted by a recent Pittsburgh PA press conference by a front group called "Catholic Identity" on October 1st 2022, described in the article by Nathan Turowski in the liberal Catholic News service, "Where Peter Is." https://wherepeteris.com/ninety-two-theses-too-few/ My coverage of ViganĂ² goes back more than two years, and there are almost a dozen seperate articles written by me on my blog highlightin...

Trump, The "Beast Man"--

Image
(Photo credit: "Scar," the malignant narcissist character from the "Lion King") Trump, The "Beast Man"-- Two days ago I posted a piece to address what we might expect from Trump, as he appears to be undergoing a new phase of mental breakdown. Here is a news story from the Independent which should be a reference point for that assessment.  One point worth considering is the evaluation earlier this year of noted Psychiatrist and author Dr. Justin Frank in interviews with Thom Hartmann and Chauncey Devega. Trump has an erotic addiction to violence. Meaning that he obtains psycho-sexual gratification from acts of violence which are either incited by him, committed in his name, or for which he has a strong personal identification. It characterizes and identifies the source of his lifetime of alleged sexual assaults on women in his periphery, and attempts to subordinate those to whom he allows access.  It is obsessive and compulsive, and likewise the not so hidd...
