A Russian "Sleeper" Catholic Ex-Archbishop Slithers Out Of His Hole--

Image
  Ex-Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigáno, formerly Vatican Ambassador to the US has finally "self-outed" as a Russian intelligence asset in a raving and psychotic rant, covered in this Catholic magazine, "Where Peter Is." https://wherepeteris.com/has-vigano-changed/ Vigáno has been covered extensively by "The Rosen Report" as the QAnon-aligned charismatic Catholic fascist who has been a Trump devotee, a schismatic enemy of Pope Francis, and the leading instigator of the most radical right-wing American bishops in declaring "total war" against President Biden. Our blog has a full archive of background on this guy, which is easily accessible if you type Vigáno into the search bar at the top of the homepage.  He has fully endorsed Putin's genocidal attack on Ukraine (because he is "pro-life" after all), and called upon Catholics everywhere to join with "the Third Rome" and Russia (yes, he used that term) in a fight to defend Christ...

My Experience With An American Trucker In A Mexican Bar-- The"Learning Curve" Keeps Getting Bigger--

Image
  I just had a conversation two days ago with an American trucker in a bar here in Mexico, visiting on vacation. Unprompted, when he saw I was an American, (noticing my Sixers cap) he told me he is unvaxxed, will never wear a mask except during air travel, and supports the so-called "Freedom Convoy." I asked him, "have you had covid"? He said "f**k yeah, you kidding"? You drive all day and take showers in Truck stops with high traffic, you know you're gonna get it." I asked him how it was, and he said, "well, I got it three times, the first time I couldn't breathe and almost died. Got long covid, was half out of it for a few months, got it a couple more more times, mainly in the head, big headaches, and lotsa' pain in my legs and calves, I think it was blood clots." After a minute of stunned silence, I asked him if he ever went to the ER to get checked and have an ultrasound on his legs. He said "naah man, I took off a week ...

The Rosen Report "Called It" In June Of 2020

 From the Intro to my Special Report on the Trump/Putin operation to overturn the US election, written in June in 2020. This is my "calling card". If you would like to introduce your friends to "The Rosen Report," on Twitter, use this.  --- What is not being stated emphatically enough is the possibility that Trump will try to disrupt the election or seek to cancel it by unleashing an armed rebellion against the United States.  He might try destroying the government if he loses by calling forth his hard core, heavily armed support base on the extreme right. This could explode as a violent resistance to an incoming Biden/Harris government.  The same forces which have been identified by state and local law enforcement and US intelligence over recent years as the single most dangerous terrorist threat to the United States, meaning domestic terrorism, are the hardcore underground of militias, Neo-Nazis, Separatists, Confederate sympathizing rebels, Boogaloo and Proud Boy...

Why Merrick Garland Is "Going Slow"...Or Not Going At All

Image
--A Dialogue Between Facebook Friends Addressing Michael Stern's New York Daily News Op-Ed, What AG Garland Might Be Thinking, The Future Of The Rule Of Law, And The Legacy Of FBI/DOJ Corruption--- For those of us who are furious that there appears to be no intention of indicting Trump by Merrick Garland, this New York Daily News article is important background.  The Op-Ed by former Federal prosecutor Michael Stern spells out a variety of problems. (link here) https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-real-reason-feds-trump-20220310-fhbuuviedva35a27c3fvokdive-story.html His argument starts and ends with his sense of certainty that there is virtually zero chance at a conviction as long as there is one Trump supporter on the jury who can block a guilty verdict. He makes the case that a trial of Trump would backfire in many ways, that Trump would walk, and the Justice System itself would be drastically weakened.  Read it for yourself, then take 10 minutes to calm down, then thi...

Biden Issues Executive Order To Regulate Crypto Due To National Security....What Comes Next?--

Image
This is huge, and exactly what I've hoped he would do. Biden is using Presidential power to assert the primacy of the Constitution's Preamble, "to promote the General Welfare" provide for the Common Defense and Domestic Tranquilty, for ourselves and our Posterity". The Bloomberg article linked here -- https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-07/biden-to-sign-crypto-order-as-industry-faces-sanctions-pressure spells out the broad outline of the EO. It has non-linear affects on our domestic crisis as well. It is known that much of the transactions for covert fundraising on behalf of proto-terrorism like the Canadian and American Truckers Convoy or Neo-Nazi Militias run by the "Alt-Right Trumpian radicals, are done through Crypto, as are financial ponzi schemes which are becoming more prevalent.  There are many implications of this order which will become apparent, but the most important thing is that President Biden now knows he is a "Wartime" ...

Time For Ending Our Endless Incredulity--- The Current Strategic Significance Of Russia's Beslan School Siege

Image
Yes, Putin is doing the unthinkable and targeting Ukrainian civilians with illegal anti-personnel weapons, both in their homes, hospitals, schools, and fleeing columns of refugees. Apparentky Russian Soldiers bombed a Children's Hospital. Many analysts are warning that gassing them is the next phase if Putin's demands are not met.  He will face consequences for this indiscriminate killing of civilian non-combatants. It is however problematic that so many among us are shocked at what he is doing. There were two notable incidents in which Putin addressed terrorist kidnappers taking large numbers of hostages in Russia.  In both cases he ordered Special Forces to attack and included dangerous knockout gas, precipitating mass casualties.  The worst was in response to Chechen terrorists taking over the Beslan School, declaring more than 1100 people hostages. The Russian attack on the school resulted in 333 deaths, out of which were 186 Children of a total of 777.  Remember...

What Does It Mean If Trump Is Presenting Dementia Symptoms?

Image
  It would be easy to take this headline and the following remarks as a set up for a punchline. "What, is this a news flash"? You might have a few lines of your own to deliver, so by all means, let it rip. Get it out of your system now so we can move ahead and get serious.  As some of our friends are aware, when I resigned from our political organization 10 years ago, I became a health insurance broker, marketing Medicare  Advantage Plans to "over 65s." Soon after I joined Martha in caregiving. In both capacities I had opportunity to use my personal family experience with Parkinson's dementia to specialize in this area, especially the caregiving aspect.  So I educated myself and trained for a new skillset in helping dementia patients and their families. One important responsibility was to be attuned to changes indicating cognitive decline, however subtle, and report them to responsible family members and/or medical professionals.  Not being an immediate family m...
