“As you read this, imagine Kari Lake eating a bag of corn nuts and sipping on a nearly-empty Big Gulp”

🤣🤣🤣

I was trying to figure out what they were eating that was making so much noise!

This is an epic week for good news. For those of you who haven’t heard the exhilarating news, CJ Hopkins was acquitted of thoughtcriminal charges at his trial on Tuesday! 🎉

Whatever you’re doing (I guess reading this comment ;-), stop right now and take five minutes to read the speech CJ delivered in court. It is LEGENDARY and may be the most important speech I’ve ever read on totalitarianism—made all the more historic given he was performing it in the context of a Kafkaesque totalitarian trial. That he was acquitted afterward makes this a triumphant finale that will make you want to leap to your feet in a standing ovation after reading it 👏👏👏

This is what we’re fighting against—and fighting for:

• “The Verdict”: https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/the-verdict

On your way back from reading that, please consider taking a little detour to express your gratitude to the Substack founders for not caving to the censorship bullies by signing this thank-you card to Substack in the comments:

• “On Fearing Freedom—Plus Thanking Substack for Standing up to the Censorship Bullies”: https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/on-fearing-freedomplus-thanking-substack

So often, people are driven to take action by negative emotions like rage and disgust, but few people are activated by positive emotions like gratitude and love—and yet it is so important to reward people when they choose courage over cowardice, integrity over corruption, freedom over tyranny. This is our opportunity to do that, and it only takes a minute to let Substack know we appreciate their principled defense of free speech, even when it costs them financially to do so.

I would love to get this to 500 comments before (re)presenting it to Hamish McKenzie, Chris Best, and Jairaj Sethi, and if anyone can achieve that, it’s the C&C Army :-)

Thank for sharing. My favorite quote of CJ Hopkins from your link “ And now, here we are. There are two roads ahead. We have to choose ... you, me, all of us. One road leads back to the rule of law, to democratic principles. The other road leads to authoritarianism, to societies where authorities rule by decree, and force, and twist the law into anything they want, and dictate what is and isn't reality, and abuse their power to silence anyone who disagrees with them.”

CJ Hopkins is an American playwright and brilliant satirist who lives in Berlin. His book “The Rise of the New Normal Reich” contains artwork featuring a scarcely visible swastika overlaid on a mask. For the crime of tweeting out this mask artwork twice, CJ was threatened with a fine or jail time. When he tweeted about his investigation, they threatened him with new charges, so it was looking like it was going to be an infinite loop of thoughtcriminalization. This saga dragged on for eight months, hence the elation that erupted when he was acquitted. Below are a few posts to catch you up:

The judge knew very well he had to be acquitted, but she would have preferred to have it otherwise. She called his speech "ideological drivel" and put on her mask as she left the courtroom. So many judges have let their personal fears cloud their "judgement". They have not remained impartial.

There should be a test that can reveal the potential for cowardice or for courage for all who hold public positions.

Alas...But I am so relieved for CJ!

Thank you for the link, it was a very powerful speech indeed! I am very happy about the verdict and wish him well. (I couldn’t help think though, how naive it was of him to believe that Germany would be safe from falling into totalitarianism again. There is enough state control of many aspects of people’s lives to show that it is always possible for it to be strengthened further and abused).

The biggest problem in Germany and most of Europe is the criminalization of thought, which means even the slightest stepping out of line can be used an excuse to launch an investigation, and anyone can file a complaint. Their relativization of the Holocaust law has been used to stigmatize COVID dissenters for daring to draw comparisons between the present-day fascism and the Third Reich. Even Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav was investigated for her Nuremberg Code 75th anniversary speech!

See the following piece in which I detail the tragic consequences of recklessly applying “anti-semite” allegations. One year and a day ago, the gentle and brilliant COVID dissident Clemens Arvay committed suicide after being beaten down by media smears such as that:

The government's refusal to stop illegals is astounding. I don't even think they are failing to stop it, but rather encouraging - if not flat out paying for - the invasion. Otherwise, those people would not be eating better than I am, they would not have free room and board, and would not arrive at the border bathed, shaven, very well fed, well hydrated, well clothed, and not tired in the least. The women wear makeup and have their hair combed, which is precisely what I don't do if I'm privative camping in Michigan or even going for a long hike. I'll eat the Columbus Yellow Pages (if they exist) if these people walked all the way up here. They did not.

Exactly. I watched Yon’s coverage of the daily travel in long boats on the river carrying people who emerged from the Darian Gap, dozens and dozens non-stop, probably 30 per boat, beginning December 2020. Then I began seeing Bergquam and Bensman coverage. Stellar reporting. Showing the UN, and NGOs being funded by us, and how they are facilitating easier travel into various locations like Panama.

Yesterday afternoon and this morning, 2 really good segments on War Room with Bergquam. Rumble will have the segments.

There is also terrific coverage of the bill the Senate is/was working in to join “border security” with more $$$ to Ukraine. One of the elements was allowing 5000 per day across the border - that adds up to over 1.5 million per year. These people are so very awful/despicable/evil.

Oh, and covering how the military-age Chinese are traveling through Darian Gap and arriving relatively unscathed by their travel, indicating lots of cash being paid to keep them alive/healthy, explaining that this travel could only occur if allowed by the CCP.

They started queuing up when Biden was declared the winner. It was pretty obvious that Trump's policies had stopped the flow to the point that caravans weren't forming at all, but with Biden's "come on in" messaging - well, here we are. And we all know that the "refugees" are not that in any way. I think I remember one country sending criminals to get them out of their jails. Video of the invaders shows a uniformity of older males with no children or females in sight. (or rare if they are there) Many have made the point that we have absolutely no idea who these people are or what they intend to do once set loose in the USA with a "promise" to reappear for some crazy future court date.

They also didn't walk - there are trains and other means of transportation. They walk the last little bit to the border to "surrender" to our border patrol. I have to wonder how many border patrol people are feeling quite disillusioned these days. I can't imagine that even the majority think that this is okay. (though perhaps the dissenters were purged)

If you are using USD or any fiat, you are not using money. You are instead using Fantasy Money, a pretense to money with has not substantive existence. Fiat, whether ink on paper or digits on a server, is Rich Man's trick whose sole purpose it to milk the public like moo cows. And basically a defrauding of the public.

The whole USD/central banking establishment is demonic in that it's built upon the lie that that the central bank issues money. What they instead issue are promises in the form of issuance of debt which is in turn a promise to pay a certain something undefined at a future undefined date. Go into any bank with a dollar bill and ask the bank for a dollar and all they will do is take your dollar bill, go into the cash drawer and hand you another dollar bill which looks like the dollar bill which you handed them in the first place. Modern day banking is actually sorcery, the casing of a spell. And under the spell one believes something is real which is only a mirage, a deception.

The law calls real exchange 'money of substance'. That is, and once upon a time when we had real money, one could take a silver or gold paper certificate into a bank or to the Treasury Department in Washington and have that certificate redeemed with silver or gold coinage. In such a system is was harder, much harder to defraud the public with cycles of credit expansion and contraction.

I understand what you are saying. But nonetheless I would much prefer that love of money (not a good thing) be love of real money instead of love of the sorcerer's conjuring trick. If one can grasp the distinction being made, then perhaps the application of demonic to the sorcerer's medium of non-existent money might on the mark.

As to money of exchange, the Bible demands fair weights and measures. This implies that money must weight. And it has to be more weight than paper with ink on it. Or electronic dots of no weight at all.

And, JBR, as a state, county or city, it seems as though there should be an ‘easement’ directly on the border of private property(statewide ) that is available for anything needed to provide security and would not need the approval of land owners who are supporters of the current state of invasion.

Elena, you apparently live on border property or are a liberal or need more coffee or maybe all three. I’m sorry you don’t understand city, county “easements” but if you check within any city limits, you’ll find easements -everywhere for many different conveniences you take advantage of daily. Some time you only need 10 feet to lay internet cable, underground power lines, etc, etc, etc. and other times you need more, ie The Interstate Highway System. But I’m sure you didn’t want that either and never use it. I know my Grandmother didn’t want it as she lived near the area I75 was going to be placed. I understand that feeling. But she certainly enjoyed it when getting back and forth to visit her children and grandchildren. Win-Win.

I did not say “Most ranchers are not happily obliging” as you stated.

Not everyone who lives on the border are conservative and do not want the city, state,country having authority to be on their border property for any reason. Then let them pay to protect themselves and their property in any way they see fit...well, don’t give the illegal migrants room and board free of charge and enroll their children in our schools. That would certainly get me riled up. But when it comes to the safety of the people who live in that community, they would probably disagree with you and would want some type of border deterrent put up to protect their property and families. I have heard many say they want border “walls” or whatever to protect our southern border. On. The. Border.

“Advocating for Pure Communism”....hmm....sounds like I’ve heard that and read that somewhere before.....🤔 oh, yes! The Media!! If you disagree with someone, call them racist, communist, stupid, sheeple, etc, etc. Don’t dialogue, name call.

Elena, you disappoint me as a Texan. As a C&C member, I’m proud to have chatted with you. Blessings.

What's encouraging is that they didn't have any dirt on Kari, so they had to sweeten the deal. If she was an aging senator who liked young boys or girls, they could save a lot of money and use that instead. This was Epstein's specialty, brought to you by the CIA.

If it was just GS it would be an easier thing to deal with. Who made GS? Himself? All by himself after profiteering from the murder of his fellow Jew (he's what was known as a Judenrat, Capo)? No. You must go back to those who made him: The Fascists/Marxist/Oligarch/Monarch Eugenicists who kicked started the global assault on individual liberty and freedom over a century ago. They never liked the ideas of governance by consent of the governed, individual liberty and freedom - under God - contained in the US Constitution, and have worked to undo it ever since.

The Frankfort School that produced Karl Marx and all of the social control "thinkers." The ruthless banking and monied interests like the Rockefellers, Carnegies, Fords, Morgans, Browns, Walkers, Thyssens, Windsors, etc. Even the Bush's partnered with the Rockefellers and Harrimans to be Hitler's banker *during* WWII, profiteering and building his crime family dynasty off the blood of the "deplorables" and "bitter clingers" in the US heartland, more than a half-century before those terms rolled off of Hillary and Obama's lips. Soros would be easy enough to knock off if he was the apex power behind the malevolent darkness setting in upon us. He's just a profiteer from it, as he was during WWII looting his fellow Jews on their way to the death camps.

There's a whole lot of them in on it together, in virtually every single position of power and control. There's more of us than them. But they have the power. On earth. We have the power of God, Almighty. And we had better turn to him for our salvation sooner rather than later. Only he has the power to render the earthly powers of these evil men impotent. We can either submit to God's will or we submit to the will of evil men. Our choice.

Oh, yeah, this will draw them out for sure. Not written anti-semitically, that's an artificial divide and conquer trope. The bankers, monarchs, industrialists are from all faith backgrounds. Though they're really atheists (they may prefer to use the word "humanist" as a more acceptable self-description.) It's a matter of status, privilege, not race or religion. They have no loyalty to any tribe other than their own power and status. The Jew-haters are following the oldest divide and conquer trick in the book that those in positions of power have always used to deflect blame and attention from their own malevolence and inadequacies.

I am not fooled by thinly veiled comments. I have heard this full argument on multiple occasions. It is a very dangerous line of thinking to go down. God never asked us to figure out which Jews we liked or agreed with. His commands were quite clear. I would suggest reading Zachariah 12-13, Psalm 83 and Joel 3:2.

Furthermore, it's time to dig deep into the very things they offered Kari Lake, and more importantly, other political figures who *did* name their price and *did* get seated on a prestigious board. Nikki Haley, for instance. But who else? This is how it works. We all more or less knew it, but this recording demonstrates exactly how the proffer is made, what it includes, and to what end.

Epoch Times did a story about Jimmy Carter losing a senate race in the 60's to the incumbent. He had to fight his own party to get justice. Literally his incumbent was at the only voting place in the county supervising every vote cast and counted. And the GA Dems would not give Carter the time of day. It seems that political seats are bought and paid for in this country and have been for a long time.

He once said on an interview that he has a 'messianic vision'.

Lenin and Marx didn't see destruction either. They truly believed that religion was the opiate of the people and that God should not exist to them. The NWO which Soros believes in also believes that people should not have national or religious affiliation and that open borders are somehow a good thing.

Every state cheated to some degree! Even Missouri, which went for Trump and is considered a red state. I was part of a group that canvassed our county (Cass) for election abnormalities and the results were shocking. We presented them to our local representatives and some people from the state who insisted everything was perfect. Until our group presented the facts. We had a record breaking number of people over 110 years old who voted...all for Dems of course. Also lots of dead people voting and residents with addresses that were empty lots. There is rampant cheating everywhere. MO. is going to paper ballots this year.

The Lake story brought back a memory for me. As a whistleblower in my previous employment, a "messenger" was sent to me to offer money, upgraded position, whatever I wanted to make it go away. I told the "messenger" that I just wanted them to do the right thing. Of course, they were never going to do the right thing otherwise they wouldn't have tried to buy me off. I know this is not comparable to a national situation, but this stuff happens even at the lowest levels. I went on to be a thorn in their paw and made positive things happen for my "constituents."

Perhaps a class war between manufactured factions in a war of the people against themselves as a tool of divide and conquer control. But also a class war between the lower levels and the upper, upper levels of the ruling class. And yes, it is complicated because there are so many categories of this and than, and also so many different levels within the ruling class structure itself.

As to the Kari Lake thing, the key tell is that this is it is coming from Washington. My guess is predominately the RNC, but possibly with DNC collusion either direct or indirect. Both parties are still doing Globalism as the UniParty. However given new directions as indicated by Twitter X, Milei, Wall Street and now the NYT ... then by all declarative evidence there appears to be a pivoting away from a failed and hopefully Woke Globalism. I'd say that Wall Street and the Money Power Apex Elite are at odds with all the destructive loose canons rolling around in Washington. The last straw was likely to have been the refusal of the Swamp to take directives from the Federal Reserve, IMF and possibly the BIS ordering against sanctioning and the weaponization of the SWIFT international payments system under Western banker controll. This refusal to take directions did more damage to the Money Power that just about anything else I can think of.

Where Kari Lake fits in is indeterminable. But she is most definitely not The Swamp. And good for Kari Lake.
