An actor named Jussie Smollett is claiming he was attacked by two people yelling racial slurs and claiming to be Trump supporters. That much all reports agree on. Having said that, the media cannot seem to get the facts straight. Originally media outlets were reporting that the attackers were wearing MAGA hats; but, Mr. Smollett told police they had ski masks covering their faces and no MAGA hats were mentioned. So what did he tell the cops.
Mr. Smollett had just arrived in Chicago having flown in from New York. He walked to a local Subway that was open at 2 in the morning to get something to eat. It is reported that he was seen on the camera entering the Subway. He left the restaurant and was walking home and he claims that is when two white men wearing ski masks recognized him as a gay actor and began calling him names at which point they began hitting him.. He claims they poured a liquid on him and put a noose around his neck and then left. He continued walking home with the noose around his neck and entered his building where 40 minutes later he called the police. He also went to the hospital. Some articles claim he received a broken rib; but, that does not seem credible as he is giving a concert this weekend in Los Angeles. He claims that he was on the phone with his manager when he was attacked; but, both he and his manager have refused to turn their phones over to the police to check the call records. The police have recovered film from dozens of cameras and have no video of the reported attack.
I have never heard of Mr. Smollett and have never watched the show he is on, "Empire". Clearly my readers know that I never advocate violence. If this occurred as Mr. Smollett claimed it would be horrifying; but, it also raises a lot of questions. Lets start with some simple ones. Did these two people know he would be walking back from Subway in the freezing cold at 2 in the morning? That seems unlikely. Did they just happen to be walking around with a noose on the off chance they would come across a gay black man? How did they recognize him, do they watch the show? What was the deal with the ski masks? I have lived in the cold and people almost never wear ski masks to cover their face if they are not skiing. It should be noted that Mr. Smollett really hates Trump. Mr. Smollett's manager claims he was on the phone while Mr. Smollett was being attacked; but, he didn't call the police nor did he attempt to find him. Heck, did the media even get the facts straight I should also point out he is good friends with Maxine Waters.
The story sounds fishy; but, anything is possible. Whether you believe he is telling the truth or not, the media is misreporting it and that is lazy journalism. Many of the early reports claimed the attackers were wearing MAGA hats; but, Smollett said they were wearing ski masks, big difference. The truth is we have to wait a couple of days to get the story straight. I have also been watching tons of videos about this from people who believe him and people who do not. At least a couple of videos claim that the attack was caught on video, it has not as of today. Two people were filmed walking in the area within a half an hour of the alleged event and from the shots you cannot even tell if they were black or white. The police have said they want to find these people to ask if they witnessed anything.
Here is another fact that is being misreported. Many have claimed he was hospitalized, nope. He drove himself to the hospital was checked out and released, same day. There are commenters saying they hope he gets better. He has a singing gig in Los Angeles on Saturday which he is attending. I expect he will tell his story when he gets back to Los Angeles, lets here what he says because the media may not have it right. I wont say it is true or a hoax until I hear him tell the story, the police find a video or proof or some actual evidence is provided and neither should my readers.

The Real Story of the Covington High Kids
The story involves three groups and the media. Lets start with the Black Hebrew Israelites. They are an extremist group that basically hates everyone. Watch the video below, it was filmed by one of it's members.
These are the same people that the media said were four black men preaching the bible who were harassed by the students. Watch the video, pretty obvious the kids were not harassing them but instead being harassed by them. These black Hebrew Israelites insulted women, native American's, homosexuals and the kids. That was how this little event began; but, the media doesn't say that. Why not? The video is online, yet, the media still seems confused by what happened. Why? By the way, in the video a very calm native American approaches the Hebrew Israelites and politely ask them to watch how they talk because there are women around. We didn't see the native American come bang a drum inches from their faces, then there would have been a real fight.
I can show you other videos of how the native American Nathan Phillips approached the high school kids, got up in their faces and was banging his drum right in their face while another native American told the kids they didn't have a right to be in this country.
Once the media lie was exposed, many just continued telling things they knew were untrue. Why? Even today I have read new stories claiming the kids were disrespectful and brought it upon themselves. Watch the videos and show me.
I didn't report on this story when it first came out because I like to wait a couple of days on stuff like this. Why did the media intentionally misreport this and why do they continue to try and blame the kids or at least ask the kids to share in the blame? Joy Behar of the View said she accepted the story because she just wants Trump out of office. How did she see the two things as connected?
Mr. Phillips during an interview said that Native Americans don't believe in walls. Really, try moving onto a reservation is you are not of that tribe. The native American tribes can offer sanctuary status and even tribal citizenship to illegal aliens from Latin America if they wish; but, they don't.
So why was this story pushed so hard and so fast? Lets not forget that even people on Fox news blamed the kids in the first two days as did the archdiocese that they were members of and the administration of their own school.
Think about this. If a white adult calls a black kid a punk, it makes the international news. If a group of black men call white kids all sorts of names, it is ignored. Why? Why did the media refer to the black Hebrew Israelites as four men preaching the bible and AGAINST oppression?
The first assumption that people make is that it is because of Trump or MAGA hats or left versus right or black versus white. While those things may infect some minds, the media and their owners are much more intentional than that. Trump and Sanders scare the establishment because they represent democracy, they are examples of a pissed off majority who have been crippled by globalization.
The number one item on the agenda of the Bilderberg Group this year was populism, they didn't even discuss climate change and haven't in almost ten years. Last year one of the agenda items was "Why is populism growing?" The purpose of the Bilderberg group is for the leaders of the world to informally discuss, "megatrends and major issues facing the world".
These are the same people that the media said were four black men preaching the bible who were harassed by the students.

The Arrest of Roger Stone - More Nothing
Long time political consultant and friend to Donald Trump was arrested today. Here is a link to the actual indictment.
Washington Post - Indictment.
The first thing that is unusual about the indictment is that in it's introduction it makes claims; but, does not make them as statements of fact. Why? Well because if it states a thing as a fact, they have to prove the fact. Beyond that, lets consider what the story they make in the introduction is. Basically, it says that Mr. Stone found out WikiLeaks had dirt on Hillary Clinton. Later of course it turned out Wikileaks had the DNC emails, not Clintons. It claims that Mr. Stone wanted to get copies for the RNC. Why does this matter? If true it would not be a crime. Remember it was not a crime for Hillary to pay a former English spy to get information from Russian officials to use against Trump. By the way, the indictment does not charge him with any crime for trying to get information nor does it claim it would have been a crime to do so.
The first claim in the indictment that Mr. Stone had documents related to the hacking is false and no facts showing that were presented in the indictment. The false analogy that seeking to get the documents does not relate to their being hacked. Two different issues. None of the documents presented even discuss where the documents came from or how Wikileaks obtained them. Everybody knew Wikileaks had the DNC documents, what is still at question is how they received them.
Here is what is really going on. Mueller wants to convict Stone of anything and have Trump pardon him. At that point Mueller wants to claim obstruction of justice for pardoning Stone. At no point in the indictment is it even claimed that Stone was involved in request anyone hack the DNC. At no point in the indictment is it claimed that any of Mr. Stone's attempts to get documents or information about what Wikileaks had was illegal or that they in fact gave him anything. This is a joke. EVERY reporter wanted to get advance notice of what was going to be released and every politician wanted to know. NONE of this shows any misdeed by Trump or his campaign. NONE of this shows any collusion with the Russians nor is it claimed in the indictment.
Roger Stone is a big mouth and a dirty trickster and has openly admitted so for 40 years. The Mueller investigation will end one day and they will have failed to have proven that Trump colluded with Russia to hack the DNC, the real issue. I actually do not believe Russia even hacked the DNC and to this day nobody has proven that. Mueller's team has all of Stones documents, texts and very likely had his phone tapped and yet not one thing is presented in the indictment claiming or showing that Stone even ever spoke to a Russian.
On a side note. Roughly 20+ FBI agents showed up at Stone's house at 6 in the morning in full tactical gear with bulletproof vests and high powered rifles while CNN filmed it. CNN claims they acted on a hunch, sure why not. The FBI says they came early in the morning to take Stone by surprise and prevent him from destroying evidence. Sure, why not. Why in full tactical gear? Did they think he was Tony Montana from Scarface? They didn't find any guns in his house. Why was the arrest so flashy? Wait, the FBI knew CNN was there even if they didn't tell CNN to be there. In fact, the FBI would have been monitoring the street before going in. Why did they do it on a Friday? That is to make it the story of the weekend with non-stop speculation to follow.
UPDATE:
If Mueller had anything about Russia, why didn't he have it in the indictment? Mueller states as fact that Stone tried to find out what Wikileaks had and he didn't get any advance knowledge. He didn't get anything. IF Wikileaks worked for Russia then why didn't they give the information of what they were going to release to the Trump campaign in advance? Mueller in this indictment has managed to prove that Trump didn't collude with Russia or get anything from them. Obstruction of Justice requires that you are preventing the government from finding proof of an actual crime.

The Elites and Globalization
While the young ones don't see it, they are the least free generation since the 1950s. They are the worst educated in the history of the United States. They not been taught geography, history, phonetics or proper math. Oh yeah, they have not been taught civics or how government works. They self regulate through fear and intimidation and outrage for the slightest deviation from the norms. Their futures not have as many opportunities as we have had in the last 100 years. They have been taught that everything is emotional and that all responses are too. They outrage over every social faux pas and almost no understanding of economics and how it is changing in ways that will guarantee them less in life. They have been trained by the media and the schools to be their own worst enemies. They not understand how the children of the wealthy and powerful were totally differently than them. They do not understand how the kids of the wealthy and powerful view them and how these privileged people see the rest of us as commodities.
I want my readers to learn the truth. The truth is, as the defender of the elites in the above video does, we live in a world of classes, of common interests. What interest do you have in common with the people that control the world?
The man gave away a little secret in his conversation, he discussed how the wealthy and powerful were taught NOT to fall in love or marry commoners. There is a club called The Skull and Bones, the Bushes were members in college. They have ceremonies where they masturbate in front of the other members and discuss every sexual thought they have had. Why? They are being taught to care more about their class than their lovers. They are taught not to let love outweigh personal interest. Oligarchs are always taught that lesson, that is why the royal family was inbred.
What you are witnessing is as important as the industrial revolution. It is a move towards one world control. It may be corporate control or a one world government control. The world establishment is betting on this change; but, Trump, Brexit and the Yellow Shirts are fighting back. Nationalist who believe in their sovereignty are called populists and racists and everything else you can think of; but, nobody in the media will admit that the real issue is giving up sovereignty whether it be to international corporate monopolies or a one world government because they know most don't like either of those answers.
Most people don't really understand the world has been moving towards this for 100 years.

Desperate Establishment Times Call for Desperate Establishment Measures
Last week the media began saying that we shouldn't expect much from Mueller on Trump Russia collusion. Immediately after, two new bogus stories start making the rounds.
Washington Examiner - Drudge Report Banner blares: "Did Trump bribe Drudge Poll?"
Here is the thing about the above article. The Drudge poll that is referenced occurred BEFORE he ran and had NOTHING to do with him running or being President. It was a poll regarding who the best businessman was. The story is nonsense, shows no crime and doesn't even say what a tech company was paid to do. Were they paid to analyze the results of the poll?
Well, when that story didn't pan out we immediately got a new claim.
Buzzfeed - Donald Trump Directed His Attorney Michael Cohen To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project.
Want to bet if this story holds up? You know it won't. By the way the Buzzfeed article says Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress. Well, not according to people who read the charges.
Bloomberg - Michael Cohen's Lawyer Says Trump Directed Him to "Commit a Crime". Cohen plead guilty to paying off women to not say they slept with Trump. Not a crime. Most of what got Cohen in trouble was his own personal financial misdeeds that happened before Trump ran for office.
In the coming days you will see an endless stream of new accusation with no evidence and unnamed sources. The truth is for over two years Mueller has had unrestricted ability to investigate everything and has found nothing against Trump. Every unsubstantiated accusation will get its own investigation and they wont stop until the next election for President is over and Trump will still win again.
Whether you know it or not, the thing really pissing off Trump's political and media opponents was Trump's refusal to approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) which would have allowed corporations to have their own courts and enforce the corporate globalist rules rather than follow national laws. Read the next post I will be making to understand what that is about, you will need to watch the video that accompanies it.
UPDATE:
And as quickly as predicted the Cohen lied for Trump story is debunked by Mueller's office. The Associated Press has just published that the story is bs.
MSN - Associated Press - The Latest: Mueller's office says Buzzfeed report inaccurate. What a shock. The bigger question is why didn't Buzzfeed tell Mueller's Office what they were going to publish BEFORE publishing, just to get a comment.

Immigration - Legal and Illegal
Even since the 1930s the Democratic party was against illegal immigration and even sought to restrict legal immigration. Watch these two videos.
So, what changed? Well, the Democratic party abandoned the working class and unions lost their power.
Lets talk about how the narrative has changed in the media. As long as we have had immigration laws, we referred to people that broke those laws as illegal aliens; but, now that is considered offensive. The new speak was undocumented workers, which of course assumes they all work. Yet the newest talking point is to refer to anyone who came here from a foreign country as immigrants regardless of how they got here. Again, what changed? Are all immigrants the same? Nope.
There are requirements to come here legally. People that come here legally either come with skills, come to go to college or come with money. Most legal immigrants speak English, that is just a fact. Once here they can usually get work visas. It can easily take a year or two to become a citizen, just marrying an American is no longer a guarantee of citizenship. How do I know this, my cousin married a woman from Panama and she became a citizen. I have worked with Philippines, Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, Ethiopian, Mexicans and many others that came here legally.
Now let us look at the average illegal immigrant. Most have little education, many do not speak English and most do not have many skills. In fact most work as unskilled labor. How do I dare say this, I was a preacher to a church of mostly illegal aliens seeking asylum because they were gay and faced real life threats in their countries. They were true asylum seekers. They are the exception to the rule, most people coming illegally are economic immigrants. Whether that is a valid reason or not, whether we should allow it or not are valid points for conversation; but, it is not a legal one. I think we can all understand their wish to come here; but, is it to the advantage of the working or middle classes? Probably not.
So, why the push now? Why did the Democrats change their policies? Who does it benefit? According to Bernie Sanders it lowers wages for working class people. I would also say that it allows businesses that hire them to treat them as slaves.
Here is a question that deeply disturbs me. We provide almost no services to the homeless; but, many are seeking to help the illegal immigrants. Hmmm. Once a foster child turns 18 they are provided almost no services and often end up homeless. Why are we seeking to treat illegal immigrants better than our own poor and needy? Why is this issue almost discussed by mainstream media or the politicians for that matter? What changed. Why if we cannot provide universal healthcare for Americans why are their calls to provide healthcare for illegal aliens? What changed?
If I enter Mexico illegally, I can go to jail and probably will if caught. Canada signed the UN Migration Pact; but, requires me to have a passport to enter their country as does Mexico. If one is an ex-felon they are required to immediately notify local authorities if they move to another state even if not on parole or probation. That does not apply to illegal aliens.
When is the last time someone went to jail for knowingly hiring illegal aliens? I don't remember either. How many people went to jail for the housing crash, the stock market crash or rigging the markets? I don't remember any either. Certainly not the people who benefited the most. Hillary Clinton gave a speech to bankers calling for open borders and they liked her speech, paid her lots of money for it. Hundreds of thousands of dollars for one speech. Why did the bankers like the idea of open borders?
If you want to understand why something is done in politics, you have understand who in power it benefits. What is the effect in Europe of bringing in millions of immigrants from the middle east? Well, it creates division and causes people to focus on their neighborhoods and their safety rather than how their economies are working against them and their social programs are becoming impossible to fund due to too rapid expansion of those who can receive benefits and have not paid in. Nothing happens by accident in government.
Let us assume that the .1% really care about illegal immigrants then we should assume that they would be willing to have a tax increase to provide them services. If we were to tax business and the wealthy an additional 1% of their income for every million illegal immigrants, I bet they would suddenly want to end illegal immigration and build a wall which was staffed. Tell me I am wrong. If we were to increase the business tax on all companies that send jobs overseas, I bet they would send less jobs overseas too.
Walls are not useless; but, they are not a complete solution. Jailing people that hire illegal immigrants is a solution. Bill Clinton pushed a bill to punish companies that hired illegal aliens. I guess he forgot that as did his wife. What changed? Global monopolies came to power and they love open borders because it keeps wages down and distracts people from paying attention to how the powerful control the government and their lives.
So, what changed? Well, the Democratic party abandoned the working class and unions lost their power.

Well, it creates division and causes people to focus on their neighborhoods and their safety rather than how their economies are working against them and their social programs are becoming impossible to fund due to too rapid expansion of those who can receive benefits and have not paid in. Nothing happens by accident in government.
Let us assume that the .1% really care about illegal immigrants then we should assume that they would be willing to have a tax increase to provide them services. If we were to tax business and the wealthy an additional 1% of their income for every million illegal immigrants, I bet they would suddenly want to end illegal immigration and build a wall which was staffed. Tell me I am wrong. If we were to increase the business tax on all companies that send jobs overseas, I bet they would send less jobs overseas too.
Walls are not useless; but, they are not a complete solution. Jailing people that hire illegal immigrants is a solution. Bill Clinton pushed a bill to punish companies that hired illegal aliens. I guess he forgot that as did his wife. What changed? Global monopolies came to power and they love open borders because it keeps wages down and distracts people from paying attention to how the powerful control the government and their lives.
