Daily News Roundup
NOTABLE QUOTES
Michael Rectenwald is the chief academic officer for American Scholars who, in November 2021 spoke at Hillsdale College: As if the economic and governmental resets were not dramatic enough, the technological reset reads like a dystopian science fiction novel. It is based on the Fourth Industrial Revolution—or 4-IR for short. The first, second, and third industrial revolutions were the mechanical, electrical, and digital revolutions. The 4-IR marks the convergence of existing and emerging fields, including Big Data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, quantum computing, genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics. The foreseen result will be the merging of the physical, digital, and biological worlds, which presents a challenge to the ontologies by which we understand ourselves and the world, including the definition of a human being. There is nothing original about this. Transhumanists and Singularitarians (prophets of technological singularity) such as Ray Kurzweil forecasted these and other revolutionary developments long ago. What’s different about the globalists’ vision of 4-IR is the attempt to harness it to the ends of the Great Reset.
David P. Goldman contributor to The American Mind: If America loses the Fourth Industrial Revolution to China, our standard of living and our capacity to recuperate will be severely, perhaps permanently impaired, as I argued in a December 2021 monograph for the Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life. Skilled immigration will give us a competitive edge against China, and the wherewithal to address our fundamental problems. It may not be the best solution, but it is the best that public policy can devise under adverse circumstances.
Joe Allen Transhumanism expert: The Great Reset was a global initiation rite, drawing embodied souls into the digital realm. Shaken by the contagion, otherwise normal people recoiled from human contact and were forced to become transhuman screen-monkeys. As the New Normal intensified, this dependence became a feature, not a bug.
Mark Levin attorney, author and Fox television host: “The greatest threat to America is the Democratic Party, whether it is slavery or segregation, whether it`s Jim Crow, whether it is what they call democratic socialism, or what is really American Marxism, they want to destroy and nationalize our electoral system so they can turn the whole country into California and Republicans can never win.”
Daniel Greenfield contributor to Frontpage Magazine: “We must give Congress no choice,” Michelle Obama rants in the latest bulletin from her When We All Vote organization. That’s how dictators or aspiring dictators talk.
Darren Smith weekend contributor to Jonathan Turley’s blog: I believe many people fail to recognize how intertwined is the lust for power and the enabling forces of stupidity. Stupidity can be manipulated to achieve that power. It is said that money is the blood of the powerful. Yet, why spend money when too many can be so easily controlled or recruited for free simply by instead appealing to ignorant or stupid individuals.
Frank Miele columnist for Real Clear Politics: From what I can tell after studying Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Jake Tapper and the late, lamented Chris Cuomo, liberalism today is characterized by a low regard for the intelligence of average Americans and a very high regard for the elastic nature of language.
Jonathan Turley constitutional law professor: Free speech demands bright lines. Ambiguity in the criminalization of speech creates the very chilling effect that the courts have sought to deter under our Constitution. In Lamont v. Postmaster-General, the Court invalidated a federal law requiring written request to receive communist political material “because of [a] possible chilling effect on [the] willingness of identified recipients to receive ‘communist political propaganda.’” In Smith v. California, the Supreme Court defined “chilling effect” as the “collateral effect of inhibiting the freedom of expression, by making the individual the more reluctant to exercise it.”
Comedian Bill Maher: “I think the answer to bad speech is more speech. I’m certainly not the first one to say that. You can find that from esteemed people on the Supreme Court over the years, mostly liberals. That is the answer to bad speech. It’s not to stop it.”
Robert Spencer contributor to Frontpage Magazine: Mark your calendar: the moment you’ve been waiting for is finally on the horizon. The national wrestling team of the Islamic Republic of Iran is coming to the United States to play our team in Arlington, Texas on February 12. Sardar Pashaei, the Iranian-American ex-head coach of Iran’s national Greco-Roman wrestling team, said it was a “friendship match.” But Alireza Dabir, president of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s wrestling federation, has other ideas, saying that the match is all about “Death to America.” And so in wrestling, as in the political sphere with the nuclear talks in Vienna, the U.S. reaches out to Iran while Iran remains relentlessly hostile.
GREAT GLOBAL RESET
(An excellent article) Imprimis: Rectenwald: What Is the Great Reset?
Is the Great Reset a conspiracy theory imagining a vast left-wing plot to establish a totalitarian one-world government? No. Despite the fact that some people may have spun conspiracy theories based on it—with some reason, as we will see—the Great Reset is real. Indeed, just last year, Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF)—a famous organization made up of the world’s political, economic, and cultural elites that meets annually in Davos, Switzerland—and Thierry Malleret, co-founder and main author of the Monthly Barometer, published a book called COVID-19: The Great Reset. In the book, they define the Great Reset as a means of addressing the “weaknesses of capitalism” that were purportedly exposed by the COVID pandemic. But the idea of the Great Reset goes back much further. It can be traced at least as far back as the inception of the WEF, originally founded as the European Management Forum, in 1971. In that same year, Schwab, an engineer and economist by training, published his first book, Modern Enterprise Management in Mechanical Engineering. It was in this book that Schwab first introduced the concept he would later call “stakeholder capitalism,” arguing “that the management of a modern enterprise must serve not only shareholders but all stakeholders to achieve long-term growth and prosperity.” Schwab and the WEF have promoted the idea of stakeholder capitalism ever since. They can take credit for the stakeholder and public-private partnership rhetoric and policies embraced by governments, corporations, non-governmental organizations, and international governance bodies worldwide. The bedrock is biological life—our bodies and brains. Above that is . . .

(Another excellent article) BEYOND THE GREAT RESET – 10 Official Documents On Human-Machine Hybrids
These white papers describe the hell that technocrats are taking us to. The Great Reset was a global initiation rite, drawing embodied souls into the digital realm. Shaken by the contagion, otherwise normal people recoiled from human contact and were forced to become transhuman screen-monkeys. As the New Normal intensified, this dependence became a feature, not a bug. Despite the topic’s obvious relevance, most discussion of transhumanism remains on the fringe. When serious people do confront it in public, they tend to skirt the hard problems or simply mock the notion. Yet in these ten documents, published between 2019 and 2021, we see an open embrace of transhumanist ideas by military, government, and corporate analysts. The concept of “transitional humans” hurtling toward a technological Singularity unfolds on three levels.

CLIMATE EMERGENCY: IT’S POLITICAL
Field: Dozens of Democratic climate warriors, whose policies drive up energy costs, beg regulators to get gas and electricity prices under control
Remember the feds’ warning to Americans in the fall that heating bills could jump greatly this winter — by as much as 54%? Well, as the country has seen cold temperatures and serious snowfall over the last couple of weeks, liberal lawmakers are taking notice and demanding that something be done. The Wall Street Journal on Monday highlighted a letter in which 41 Democrat members of Congress — all of whom have repeatedly supported and advocated for onerous climate change policies that have a proven history of hiking energy prices — begged federal regulators at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to use their “power to influence retail rates for natural gas and electricity.” As the Journal noted, these Democrats certainly have “chutzpah.” […] Naturally, President Biden and his fellow climate fearmongers deny their policies have anything to do with rising energy prices. They, of course, claim energy companies are somehow manipulating the market. [NOTE:Eliminating fossil fuels and nuclear energy are a necessary component of the Great Global Reset]

JANUARY 6
Gerstein & Cheney: Judge mulls whether Trump’s silence on Jan. 6 could amount to ‘agreement’ with rioters
“What do I do about the fact the president didn’t denounce the conduct immediately?” Mehta wondered, homing in on a central focus of congressional investigators probing Trump’s conduct that day. “Isn’t that, from a plausibility standpoint, enough to at least plausibly infer that the president agreed with the conduct of the people that were inside the Capitol that day? Mehta’s questioning prompted Trump’s attorney, Jesse Binnall, to push back, forcefully arguing that Trump can’t conceivably face legal consequences for actions he did not take. “The president cannot be subject to judicial action for any sort of damages for failing to do something,” Binnall said. The exchange was potentially the most significant in an explosive — and lengthy — hearing on three lawsuits filed against Trump for his actions leading up to and on Jan. 6.

Turley: Democratic Governor Calls For Criminalizing “Lying” About Election Results
For years, I have lamented how the Democratic party has embraced censorship and the criminalization of speech. I come from a liberal Democratic family in Chicago and the Democratic Party once championed free speech as the defining value of the party. Democratic politicians now lead calls for censorship to silence their opponents and corporate regulations to protect citizens from dangerous choices in reading material. The same concerns were raised this week after Washington Gov. Jay Inslee called for the criminalization of “lies” about election results. Inslee wants to convict people who raise election challenges or allegations. Such a law would threaten political speech and create a chilling effect for those who want to raise such concerns in contested elections. Inslee made his comments as part of the Jan. 6th anniversary.

Hoft: Jan 6 Political Prisoner Troy Smocks Is a Black Man Originally from the KC Housing Projects – Today He Speaks Out from the DC Gulag and Refutes the Narrative That He is Housed with White Supremacists
Troy Smocks is a 59-year-old black man from Texas being held in the DC “Gitmo” with other defendants for the events that unfolded at the Capitol on January 6. He is incarcerated with a diverse group of Trump supporters who are white, black, Hispanic, Arab, Christian, Jewish, straight, and transgender. Smocks’ race has not stopped the Left from accusing him of being a white supremacist. He was arrested on January 15, 2021 and is finishing his sentence this month after enduring a year of inhumane treatment by his jailers and defamation of his character by the media. […] Here is Troy’s story in his own words: Dear America, . . . […] Until now, the American public was unaware that there was a black man (actually two black men) amongst the January 6 U.S. Capitol detainees being held at the D.C. Jail.

(Busted!) Project Veritas: Military Documents About Gain of Function Contradict Fauci Testimony Under Oath
Jan. 10, 2022] Project Veritas has obtained startling never-before-seen documents regarding the origins of COVID-19, gain of function research, vaccines, potential treatments which have been suppressed, and the government’s effort to conceal all of this. The documents in question stem from a report at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known as DARPA, which were hidden in a top secret shared drive. DARPA is an agency under the U.S. Department of Defense in charge of facilitating research in technology with potential military applications. […] Dr. Fauci has repeatedly maintained, under oath, that the NIH and NAIAD have not been involved in gain of function research with the EcoHealth Alliance program. But according to the documents obtained by Project Veritas which outline why EcoHealth Alliance’s proposal was rejected, DARPA certainly classified the research as gain of function. “The proposal does not mention or assess potential risks of Gain of Function (GoF) research,” a direct quote from the DARPA rejection letter. Major Murphy’s report goes on to detail great concern over the COVID-19 gain of function program, the concealment of documents, the suppression of potential curatives, like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, and the mRNA vaccines.

Sundance: CDC Finally Admits 75 Percent of COVID Deaths Happen in Patients “With at least Four or More Comorbidities”
This issue has always been at the heart of the internal data that was never turned over for review. For two years people have wanted to know the distinction and general health position of the people who were categorized as dying from COVID. What was their previous health status?
For reasons that can only be reconciled by admitting it was purposeful to their objectives, the CDC never released any information showing the background health status of those who were categorized as dying from COVID. However, recently the CDC said they were going to assemble those various subsets of key data for the public. […] “over 75 percent had at least four comorbidities, so really these are people who were unwell to begin with”… Meanwhile, this same institution is pushing another set of booster jabs upon healthy people with no preconditions.

Sundance: Sunday Talks, The Human Cabbage Patch Doll Interviews CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on the Politics of Omicron and the Vaccination
The transparent intent of Walensky’s appearance on Fox was an effort to reach viewers, who the administration perceives as representing a higher percentage of the unvaccinated. Baier’s role is to give her a platform toward that effort. It appears, because Walensky did not do as well as hoped (factually she stumbled her way through the obfuscation), Fox News did not widely distribute the interview.

PEACEFULLY & PATRIOTICALLY MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD
Powe: (VIDEO) New Yorkers Raise Hell Over COVID Segregation In Nike Store, Whole Foods: “This Is The Same Thing They Did In Nazi Germany, Everybody Was ‘Just Doing Their Job’ Until The Holocaust Happened”
On Sunday night, NYFR decided to shop at the Nike Store and eat dinner at Whole Foods “like normal people” without a mask in an effort to snap the compliant city out of its hypnotized state of mass delusional psychosis.
But freedom has become a thing of the past in the Democrat-run city. “We demanded service at segregated venues. Nike has been tough on us many times for just going in to shop without a mask. So we decided we all go with our faces free, as free people, to just get service. We didn’t go in there belligerently. We just walked in like normal people to go shop. They demanded we put on a mask. I kindly declined. Guards came. Store security came,” Olivo said. “They told us we ‘must put on a mask.’ We told them, ‘No, we don’t.’ They asked for our exemptions. We told them that’s none of their business, that, ‘We’re just coming to shop. Let us get our stuff and we’ll be out of here.’ […] “We let people in the store know we are doing this for them. At the end of the day, this is the same thing they did in Nazi Germany. People complied all the way up to law enforcement – everybody was ‘just doing their job’ until the holocaust happened,” he told TGP. “We made that clear in the store that what we were doing was for everyone, including the staff. The NYPD came into the store, but they didn’t come and confront us and bother us. They waited outside.” […] The group then went to Whole Foods where they were harassed and discriminated against for ignoring the “vaccinated only” signs. “We went to pay for the food and sit in the dining area which was only for vaccinated people.

2022 ELECTION
Solomon & Kliegman: Georgia ballot harvesting probe casts fresh light on past Democrat efforts to make tactic legal
Eight months before the contentious November 2020 election, the Democrats’ top election lawyer penned an article on a site frequented by voting activists suggesting that ballot harvesting — a tactic, outlawed in most states, in which third-party activists gather and deliver voters’ ballots — be made lawful in order for Democrats to succeed. Marc Elias not only called ballot harvesting one of the “four pillars” of a successful election but also, along with other Democrats, sued to overturn harvesting bans in two states. He lost in Georgia in 2020 and lost in Arizona last year in a case that reached the U.S. Supreme Court. As Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger launches an investigation into an allegation of widespread harvesting in that state’s 2020 elections, attention has been refocused on earlier failed Democrat efforts to make the ballot collection tactic legal and whether rogue elements in the Peach State tried to carry it out despite the ban.

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS DEMOCRAT PARTY MEDIA INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
Black: The Sinking Ship of the Democratic-Media Alliance
Almost no one seems to grasp the colossal irony of the current American political condition. The uniquequality of it is that the country is divided between two political forces which, in the tedious hyperbole of contemporary political jargon, view each other as an “existential threat to democracy.” The Democrats can’t sell the bunk that January 6 was an “insurrection;” they can’t wish away concerns about the integrity of the 2020 election. All they have is the tired claim that Trump is a threat to democracy, and in their advocacy of that falsehood, they have made themselves the threat to democracy. […] The Democratic media have been exposed as morally bankrupt in their rabid partisanship and dishonesty. The Democratic-media alliance gambled everything on 2020 but in corrupting democracy in the name of protecting the country from an enemy of democracy, and in inflicting upon America an almost totally incompetent administration, the Democrats and their media allies tied themselves to a sinking ship. Donald Trump has many failings but he is no threat to democracy.

Hemmingway: J6 Hysteria Is How Media And Other Democrats Are Avoiding Accountability For Their Rigging Of The 2020 Election
With the exception of a single Time Magazine article admitting there was a “conspiracy” by a “a well-funded cabal of powerful people” who worked to “change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information,” to create a “revolution in how people vote,” corporate media have largely kept silent about or downplayed how the establishment secured its victory for their man Joe Biden.
Time’s article didn’t come out until February 4, 2021, but in the months prior to its publication, Republicans grew increasingly concerned that the rigging it described had, in fact, happened. […] The media and other Democrats have used the January 6 riot at the Capitol as a way to ignore legitimate concerns about what they did to the election system, and as a way to continue the assault on election security. As part of their political operation, they have used a propaganda technique of redefining efforts to secure the integrity of elections as attacks on democracy.

Miele; The Big Lie and the Elastic Truth: How to Invent a Coup
I’ve taken a guilty pleasure recently in watching the faux intellectuals on MSNBC and CNN pass judgment on not just Donald Trump, but also on everyone who shares his disdain for authoritarian pronouncements on COVID-19, election integrity, climate change and a host of other issues. […] . . . after the Jan. 6 House select committee voted to hold Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress — they pivoted and announced that the Big Lie was now “the Big Coup.” Meadows was chief of staff to President Trump, and since Trump clearly believed the election was stolen, it should be no surprise that Meadows was in constant communication with members of Congress and others who were working to prove that fraud had taken place. But in the Orwellian world of Democrats, trying to prove that fraud was committed by someone else means you are yourself guilty of fraud. Believing the election was stolen means that you yourself tried to steal the election. And worst of all, asking people to march “peacefully and patriotically” to the Capitol means that you were instructing them to riot and overthrow the government.
